Chapter 1370: The Perfect Life-Saving Medicine
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The disappearance of the researchers had an impact on the Turan civilization. It was not as simple as temporary project paralysis and theoretical stagnation.
The Turan people were different from the Earthlings.
The Earthlings were modern h.o.m.o sapiens, and they did not have “Haka.” All individuals were blank sheets of paper when they were just born. All kinds of innate skills and theoretical systems could not be pa.s.sed down from generation to generation through genetic inheritance.
Therefore, Earthlings had paid special attention to the storage, a.n.a.lysis, research, and transmission of knowledge as well as theories.
They had also paid special attention to the cultivation of talents and the discovery of geniuses.
Earthlings had built a large number of schools, libraries, museums, and research and development centers in various types of fields, meticulously preserving the precious spark of civilization.
As the “torchbearer’ of civilization, the profession of teacher, even if it was not the mainstay of Earth’s civilization, was at least an indispensable part of it. Teachers played a relatively decent and important role.
Plus, since they were bom a blank sheet of paper, the people of Earth also had curiosity and an incomparably exuberant thirst for learning, naturally craving all kinds of knowledge. Even if this knowledge could not bring them any benefits in the short term, for many people on Earth, knowledge itself was
a benefit.
‘When Dragon City had just transmigrated, many factories, schools, laboratories, and libraries had all been destroyed.
When the monsters rampaged, they had also killed many of Dragon City’s researchers.
However, with the tradition of respecting teachers and respecting the path, the careful preservation and cla.s.sification of knowledge, the burning curiosity, and the endless thirst for knowledge, the people of Dragon City had restored Earth’s civilization at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the battlefield where the sound of cannons rumbled and monsters ran rampant, the people of Dragon City carried long spears on their shoulders and sharp blades on their backs. The b.l.o.o.d.y heads of the monsters would still be hanging on their waists in the ruins of a former library. They would
carefully collect the mottled books and not let go of every page and every blurred line of writing that had been soaked in flood and blood for a long time. Such a scene had been common during the Monster War in Dragon City.
But that had not been the case for the Turan people.
The Turan people had “Haka,” which seemed to be an efficient way of pa.s.sing on information from generation to generation.
They did not need too many “useless things” such as schools, libraries, and museums.
The Turan people, who were born with all kinds of innate skills and ancient wisdom, were familiar with their own fields and even able to dominate them. They were also rarely interested in putting aside everything that had been pa.s.sed down from the past and turning to new, unfamiliar fields.
Even if they were willing to muster up their courage and march into fields they knew nothing about.
It was often difficult to compete with the descendants of experts who had cultivated the field for decades.
One could say that the Turan people had carefully preserved the tinder of their civilization in their own brains and seeds of life.
A Turan was a living school, a living library, and a living museum.
Once this Turan died unexpectedly, it would be equivalent to the death of a school full of talented people, teachers, and students who worked tirelessly…
A library full of ancient books being b.u.med to the ground…
A museum that was engraved with the history of civilization sinking to the bottom of the endless sea in the midst of earthquakes and tsunamis… Perhaps, it would be at the bottom of the sea forever.
Back when the Turan civilization was still developing on the mother planet, such knowledge, technology, and the way of inheritance of civilization did not pose too much of a problem.
After all, the Turan people were the overlords of their mother planet, the kings at the top of the food chain, and the “spirits of all living things.”
Who could threaten their existence and cause the experts and scholars in a certain field to all die in an extremely short period of time?
Yet, the outbreak of the world war on the Turan people’s mother planet turned an unimaginable nightmare into reality.
‘The sudden war led to the death of a large number of experts and scholars, and plenty of theoretical knowledge and expertise were cut off.
When the Hope left their home planet in a hurry, the number of scientists on board was already severely lacking, and they were heavily biased against science.
During the dangerous voyage, many of the scientists had died before they could leave their descendants behind.
After transmigrating to the Other World, a large number of researchers and technical experts changed their jobs when faced with the threat of survival.
Researchers and technical experts, who were unwilling to change jobs and did not adapt to their new professions, would be eliminated by the cruel environment.
The death of a leading figure in a subsector of scientific research would be unexpected.
It often meant that the subsector was completely closed to the Turan civilization.
Even if the successors wanted to restart their research work in this field, they had no research talent, no corresponding learning and research materials, no sufficient time and resources, and no strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge. There was no imminent necessity.
Under such circ.u.mstances, who would do the “meaningless” or even “whimsical” things without effort and reward?
A welder, who was proficient in the low-light pulse continuous welding process, either died or changed jobs.
It often meant that the art of low-light continuous pulse welding would become lost.
The lost inheritance could not be restarted for at least one to two thousand years.
And the low-light pulse continuous welding process was very likely to be the key technology to making some kind of cutting-edge experimental equipment.
The loss of this technology meant that some kind of cutting-edge experimental equipment could no longer be made, and all the experiments related to this cutting-edge equipment would be paralyzed.
Of course, before the experiments were paralyzed, the experimenters who knew how to operate the cutting-edge equipment might have already changed jobs or died.
Just like that, more and more Tulan people raised their sabers high and roared as they rushed toward the Beast Tide. They either awakened the hunting skills of their ancient ancestors in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.., they successfully became warriors and warriors through haka, or they
sacrificed themselves in a spectacular way.
The various technologies, knowledge, professions, and legacies of the Tulan civilization were also being cut off, destroyed, and annihilated at an alarming rate.
However, the Tulan people at that time didn’t feel that it was inappropriate at all.
In other words, they were going all out in the Survival Battle of the survival of the fittest. They didn’t have the time or interest to think about how the disappearance of these knowledge and technologies would affect the entire civilization, how far-reaching would it be.
Even if a certain important technology was cut off, it would still have some negative effects.
‘The ever-changing technology of the spiritual magnet could perfectly solve the problems caused by it in the shortest amount of time.
Yes, the spiritual magnet was too perfect.
It was so perfect that the Tulan people were caught in a vicious cycle and did not know it.
A certain technology was cut off, which led to the people of Tulan having to solve the related problems with the spiritual magnets.
If they wanted to develop the new functions of the spiritual magnets, they had to invest more resources into the laboratory and research center of the spiritual magnets that were built around the ‘mother’.
More resources, including the best talents, were invested in the research and applications of the spiritual magnets. As a result, all kinds of technology and theoretical research other than the spiritual magnets were less and less valued.
The less they were valued, the easier it was for them to be cut off.
After they were cut off, the spiritual magnets would take advantage of the gap and fill the ‘niche’that was left.
Unwittingly, the Tulan civilization, which had all kinds of industries and deep reserves of knowledge, had evolved into the spiritual magnet technology that stood out.
The spiritual magnets were like a highly addictive life-saving drug.
They saved the lives of the Tulan civilization.
However, they also gradually became addicted to them, sinking deeper and deeper into their addiction.
More importantly, due to the death of the scientific researchers, the basic theoretical research ability of the Tulan civilization was getting weaker and weaker.
Many times, even the soul magnets experts who lived on the hope and spent their days with ‘Mother Origin’didn’t know what their research meant.
They just mechanically entered a certain command or variable, observed and recorded the results, filtered out the stable and beneficial results, and removed the messy and negative results. That was all.
As for how the ‘mother’acted on the liquid magnetic material, how it changed the nano structure of the supermagnet, and how it a.s.sembled the simple nano structure into a ‘nano robot’, then, the ‘supermagnets’were turned into ‘spiritual magnets’.
The process was like an indestructible black box.
No one knew what exactly happened inside the ‘black box’.
Except for the ‘mother.
“When our ancestors were still living on the mother planet, they had the ability to move mountains and overturn seas and destroy the world. Putting aside the idiocy of self-destruction, when the world war broke out, countless fireb.a.l.l.s that were as hot as stars rose up slowly on the surface of the mother
planet. They were able to blast out magma and storms that swept away everything, instantly destroying a city and a secret base buried deep under the city. It was indeed the epitome of the wisdom and will of the Tulan civilization. It symbolized the infinite power and supreme glory of the civilization.”
His voice was gloomy, “However, after coming to Tulanze and being enveloped and infiltrated by the spiritual magnets, we seemed to have a stronger body and the combat ability to blow up rocks with a single punch. Because of that, we were reduced to the level where we could fight with cold weapons.
“Even if the spiritual magnets could form more complicated and sophisticated machinery and construct hot weapons such as ‘electric arc guns’and ‘railguns’, the destructive power of individual hot weapons was still incomparable to the ultimate weapons that could destroy the entire ecosystem that we
had created and used on our mother planet.
“Unfortunately, the people at that time did not realize this.
“Because our enemy was also a ferocious beast that brandished its fangs and claws. At most, it could spray acid, fireb.a.l.l.s, and electric arcs. It was equivalent to using cold weapons and individual firearms.
“In the words of the Tulan people –”
The voice said an ancient proverb.
It mentioned an animal that did not exist on Earth but was as dirty, stupid, and thick-skinned as a pig.
Literally, it probably means, “If you roll around in the mud with a pig for a long time, no matter how intense the battle, it doesn’t prove that you’re a good hunter, it only proves that you’re a pig.”.
It also means, “The more you play chess, the worse it gets.”..
