Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 678: 678
 

Science and Technology Research and Development Relying on Archeology

In the other world.

It was late at night on the Broken Islands. The flagship of the vanguard fleet, the Sea Vine Flower.

The magic crystal lamp illuminated the meeting room. The officers surrounded a small elemental sandbox and secretly glanced at the leader. After the report was sent, the Skyquaking Dragon jumped over.

Kant took a deep breath.

The so-called discovery of the vanguard fleet was originally thought to be an excuse for his son to stab him in the back. He did not expect it to be true, and it was indeed a very important matter.

When Quillon and the other fleet officers discovered this shocking phenomenon, they immediately reported it to Marshal Astolford, the commanding officer of the Ministry of Peace’s naval fleet. After Afu confirmed it, he immediately informed Horus. Through the cross-border signal transmission device made by Kant, they communicated in Morse code.

Kant then returned to the other world and came to the Broken Islands.

He was invited to the Seavine, and the officers showed him the sandbox in front of him.

The water and earth elements simulated the terrain of the Broken Islands, and hundreds of light spots floated in the sea of the sandbox. Each light spot was connected to an arc, like a moving track.

“Explain yourself, Commander.” Kant raised his head and glanced at Quillion.

“Yes.”

” We have to start from this afternoon,” the elven commander said in a deep voice.” We have completed the preliminary investigation of the entire island and gathered the cumulonimbus clouds to scatter rain, successfully controlling most of the fires. However, the elemental phenomenon caused by the rain spell changed the weather in the area. Other than rain and strong winds, it also caused small-scale waves…Then we discovered something interesting.”

He looked down at the sand table.” We were ordered to guard this island for His Highness, drive away the snoopers, and protect the strange substances on the island. But as you know, most of the substances fell into the sea, and most of them sank to the bottom of the sea. There are also many floating on the surface and in the sea. If they are allowed to float away, it will not only be a waste, but also aid the enemy. Therefore, after seeking the consent of Marshal Fu, we began to do some rescue work.”

” For example, manipulating the tides of the sea to push the matter floating on the surface of the sea and shallow water to the shore.

“For those with a larger range and obvious accumulation, we will personally sail the boat to salvage them.”

” Yes.” Kant nodded.” And?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

“Then, when my magic consultant was controlling the magic core and driving away the falling matter, he discovered some kind of blocking force…” Quillion glanced at his fleet advisor.

The valiant elf mage bowed to Kant and continued the conversation.” There is a force that attracts and restrains these unknown substances, constantly correcting their trajectories. The undercurrents in the sea cannot take them away, and the forces that we manipulate and interfere with will find it difficult to blow them to the shore.”

” Are you sure?” Kant’s expression changed.” Are you sure?”

Quillon pointed at the sand table.” We weren’t sure at the time, so we did thorough tests and experiments. I contacted the ships scattered across the sea and ordered them to send the Spirit of Nature to the three special substances floating on the sea. Then, we launched Pulsar Nova at a frequency of once every fifteen seconds to gather the movement trajectory of the Spirit of Nature on the sand table of the ship. This is what you are seeing now.”

The elven commander paused for a moment and said slowly,”Obviously, they are like celestial bodies that revolve around the stars…” Although the trajectory is irregular, it can be seen as the interference of the undercurrents in the sea. However, overall, it is enough for us to make a bold deduction…”

He glanced at the magic consultant, who nodded.

“Something is attracting them.” Quillion turned to Kant and said seriously. It also emits some kind of restraining force, causing them to slowly and stubbornly move closer to a central point.”

” Where is the center of the sphere?” Kant asked in a deep voice.

Quillion waved his hand, and the mages who were on standby around the sand table guided their spiritual power together. Arcs were cut and tangents intersected, marking a general area on the sand table.

” Horus,” Kant said in a deep voice,” where did the sea monster surface from?”

“It’s quite far from here, about 25 kilometers away,”Horus replied.

” What do you think it is?” Kant asked after a moment of silence.

The officers looked at each other.” Its nest,” Quillion replied.

Kant didn’t comment. He stared at the model, his eyes sparkling.

After a moment, the Aurora Dragon raised its head and clapped its hands.” Alright, loyal navy. You’ve done a good job. Quillon!”

“Yes!” The elf commander straightened his body.

” I appreciate your vigilance, carefulness, and enthusiasm in the performance of your duties. This is an unexpected discovery, and it is certainly significant.”

” Therefore, I hereby commend the contribution of the entire vanguard fleet in this operation and award them with collective honor and merit. In addition, according to the contribution and role of the fleet members in the specific operation, individual honor rewards will be given. The details of the rewards will be discussed by the relevant departments of the Ministry of Peace. Therefore, Commander Quillion, please submit an operation report to Marshal Astorf as soon as possible.”

Kant smiled at the officers.” Let’s celebrate. All of you will receive a considerable amount of military merit points. If this discovery is proven to be of greater value in the future, we can’t rule out the possibility of further military merits.”

The officers looked at each other and then cheered loudly.

Amid the cheers, Kant shook hands with Quillon.

” Please thank all the members of the fleet on my behalf. Thank them for their dedication to their duties. This is the rule of Kant. If you do your job well, you will have meat to eat. The more you do, the more meat you will have.”

” Yes.” The elf commander nodded.” You are undoubtedly a great leader, Your Highness Kant.”

They all knew what military merits were.

In the past few days, when the four divisions of the shogunate were established, the first thing they did was to establish rules. The reward and punishment system was being perfected. As the military force that Kant valued the most, the reward and punishment system was also being established rapidly.

The reward policy was precise and quantitative, the capable would get more, the rewards and punishments would be clear, and the merits and demerits would not offset each other.

The currency used to calculate merit points was called military merit. There were many ways to obtain military merit points. One could obtain military merit points by passing the training, meeting the standards of the curriculum, obeying well, and completing the exercise. One could also obtain military merit by defeating the enemy, defeating the enemy, and rushing to the front first. Moreover, it was obvious that the latter would obtain far more military merit points than the former.

With Horus and Afu as the leaders, the navy and the army would be officially connected to the post-information warfare mode. As for the specific battle, the combat missions accepted by each combat unit would be evaluated and receive corresponding military merit points. The advanced experience of many online games on Earth would naturally be applied to this system.

The use of military merit points was generally divided into two categories-promotion and exchange.

Military merits were accumulated constantly, and it did not conflict with how much one spent to exchange. For example, if a senior Nord soldier accumulated 3,000 military merits, he would be promoted to a Royal Guard of Nord. Even if he exchanged all 3,000 military merits for a large bag of cone-nosed arrows, it would not prevent him from being promoted.

However, it didn’t mean that a recruit could become an officer or even a general just because he accidentally obtained a huge amount of military merits. In the promotion mechanism, military merits were only one of the criteria.

If he wanted to advance, other than accumulating enough military merits, he also had to meet a few hard requirements.

A recruit who wanted to become a rifleman only needed to complete three months of recruit training and meet the standards in shooting, physical fitness, discipline, and many other courses and assessments. After completing these tasks, he would receive enough military merits to be promoted to a private soldier. If he wanted to become an elite hunter, he would have to participate in more training and assessments to accumulate more military merits.

Training, assessment, and daily performance were the only ways for recruits to obtain military merits.

As for becoming a general? Apart from accumulating a huge amount of military merits, there were also many hard conditions to meet, such as participating in a number of battles as a battlefield commander, having experience in commanding various military corps, actual victory rate, and passing the assessment… Wait, wait, wait.

And there were many more options.

Military merits were similar to work points in distant ports. However, under Kant’s request and instructions, the purchasing power of military merits was stronger than work points. This was a form of guidance and honor. As for the exchange column, work points were a sub-category of military merits. Anything that could be exchanged for work points could be exchanged for military merits, and there was a certain discount.

Those that couldn’t be exchanged for work points could be exchanged for military merits.

There were all kinds of military products, vehicles, strengthening potions, support scrolls, and even custom-made and modified personal weapons and equipment other than standard weapons, as well as special ammunition with greater power.

There were too many things to do here. To solve the problem of hoarding military credits and not being able to spend them, Kant and Horus referred to many experiences on Earth. See, the game was free for you. If you wanted to play it well and have fun, you had to give something up, right?

For example, Quillon, an elven commander, was powerful and experienced. It was too easy for an elite officer with military service experience to obtain military merits. He only needed to command a few battles and win beautifully to obtain a considerable amount of military merits. If there were not enough exchange items, he would not be able to spend military merits. Then the design of the military merit system would be a failure and needed to be improved.

But since he was so obsessed with power armor, it was easy.

Fleet commanders and high-ranking officers were given personal power suits.

However, apart from the standard power armor, there were also custom-made paint, shock adjustment accessories, electromagnetic coil modification, shoulder cannon module custom-made, and energy-gathering gloves.

Now that the existing ones were sold out, they could continue to be introduced in the future. When this set of power armor was fully modified, they could come up with another set. When the ones that ran on the ground were sold out, there were still those that flew in the sky. When the ones that flew in the sky were sold out, there were still those that swam in the water… Let’s see if you’re faster to earn money or if the company is faster to pay.

I heard you’re an elf? Is he very capable of living?

And so on, it was to cater to his liking.

Other than that, there was also the ultimate temptation for warriors-the ultimate exchange program.

After accumulating a large number of military merits and meeting the strict conditions, even ordinary soldiers could apply to join the ultimate battle groups such as the Destruction Squadron, which were definitely at the top of the contempt chain.

This was a supreme honor specially prepared for those born battle maniacs.

Obviously, Quillon did not know the seriousness of the problem.

Not long ago, he had broken his oath to the Sunset Moon Dynasty and pledged his loyalty to Kant once again. He joined a newly formed army and was pleasantly surprised to discover a new aura that was different from the Royal Navy. It was different from the military order of the Sunset Moon Dynasty in every way. Although this new army had just been established, it made him pleasantly surprised and even uneasy.

Although he had lifted the oath, he still had extreme recognition and pride for the Royal Navy. But now, this recognition was quietly wavering.

This was because he had seen the trial notice of the military merit system sent by the headquarters in Distant Harbor.

Everything was measured, rewards and punishments were clear, and military merits were supreme.

If this system could be perfectly implemented, what would it mean?

It meant that the soldiers did not have to burn, kill, rob, or commit crimes for themselves, and they could live a rich and dignified life.

It meant that the soldiers only needed to uphold their honor and fight bravely to obtain everything they wanted.

It meant that the soldiers did not need any background, background, or nepotism. Even if it was very difficult, even if they had to take great risks, fight, and challenge, it was still possible to become a general and change their destiny forever.

This made Quillion shudder from the bottom of his heart.

Based on the experience and perspective of the elves, many laws in the world were initially made with good intentions, but they were gradually distorted by desire and corrupted by evil thoughts. However, Quillon had full confidence in this military system, and the reason was simple…

His Highness Kant would be able to fulfill all the promises in the system.

He had proven it to everyone time and time again.

” May you win every battle, Your Highness,” the elven commander said sincerely.” No matter who the enemy is, your brave warriors will sweep everything with you.”

Kant felt the other party’s firm grip.” I hope we’ll still be the same in a few decades,” he said.” Nothing has changed.”

“Definitely.” Quillion nodded.

He thought Kant was referring to his unchanging heart and his vow and honor.

What Kant meant was…

Fairy, may your hair still be as thick as clouds in decades to come.

Kant ordered the celebrating officers to spread the good news to the entire fleet. He then went to inspect the island once more before returning to the distant harbor. Horus laughed softly and sneaked back to Tidal Manor.

It was already the second half of the night, and what greeted him was Fu’s bright smile and Long Niang’s middle finger.

The ship lady didn’t need physical sleep. She was working in the study on the third floor and was also responsible for security. The dragon was used to sleeping for a long time.

Kant went to see Ah Xing first. Ah Xing was grinding his teeth in his sleep. He watched for a while before leaving the room with a smile. He then quietly pushed open Tina’s bedroom. Under the dim light of the magic crystal lamp, the resonance between the Eternal Peace Protection and Chang ‘an Overwatch woke Tina up. The princess, who was lying on the bed, opened her beautiful blue eyes and smiled at her.

Kant raised his index finger and hushed her. Tina smiled and nodded.

Because Leona was sleeping next to her.

Kant’s wishful thinking fell through on the day that he almost failed. Tina’s arrival did not bring him many benefits because the girls in Tidal Manor had their own ideas after the banquet.

Leona squeezed into Tina’s room with the excuse that she hadn’t seen him for a long time and didn’t dare to sleep alone. Lily ran to stay with Gorilla and warned Kant that if he came to trick Gorilla, she would tell Tina.

Kant approached her with light footsteps and sat by the bed. Tina was wearing a white nightgown. Her collar was high, revealing a deep cleavage. Beside her, Leona was sleeping soundly.

“Did something happen?”the princess asked softly.

” Yes.” Kant nodded and said softly,” There are some new discoveries in the Broken Islands.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

“I’ll handle it myself.”

“Do you want to rest now?”

“Not yet.”

“Alright then.” Tina chuckled.

As she said this, she closed her eyes, raised her head slightly, and opened her cherry lips.

Kant hesitated for a moment. Tina opened her eyes and wrapped her arms around the back of Kant’s neck.

Their lips and tongues met, and a refreshing breath entered Kant’s mouth. Kant resisted for about 0.5 seconds before he could no longer control himself. His hands were sucked into Tina’s sleeping robe, covering the snow-white hills that were as soft as jade and protecting the gradually growing cherries. He could not help but open his collar with his hands and lower his body. His lips brushed past Tina’s small chin and slender neck. As soon as they touched the cheese mountain, he was stopped by Tina’s hands.

“Don’t…” Tina whispered,” I can’t help it. I’ll wake her up…”

Kant sighed helplessly, but he did as he was told. Tina smiled when she saw this and whispered,” Hurry up and finish building the office building for the Unity Department.”

Kant’s breathing quickened.

Countless images flashed through his mind.

Tina raised her head and kissed him again.

Kant looked back three times with every step he took and finally left.

The door closed silently, and Tina lay back on the bed, reminiscing about the feeling just now. Her collar, which had been gently pulled open, had forgotten to close, and most of her round curves were exposed. There was even a little pink exposed. Tina did not care about this. Her gaze turned to the other side. Leona was sleeping soundly.

Tina’s hand gently reached over and caressed the veins of the silver-haired girl’s hair. She gently touched the back of the silver-haired girl’s neck and caressed it back and forth.

The princess’s gentle voice rang out in the quiet room.

In her sleep, Leona couldn’t help but shiver.

Kant returned to the White Fog World.

She washed a bottle of facial wash and half a tube of Yunnan Baiyao toothpaste.

“.. Is it necessary?” Iron Son was surprised.” Aren’t you going to see the parrot? You want to wash this too?”

“What do you know?” Kant spat out the water in his mouth.” This is basic respect!”

“I think it’s the self-cultivation of a scumbag.”

“Hey!”

As expected, the parrot was cultivating. The first laboratory of the temporary research and development center had already been occupied by Marykith. Hearing the door open, the parrot turned its head, and its metallic face looked very scary.

“Ah!”

” What’s wrong?” The parrot with the metal mask walked toward Kant with its orchid fingers raised. Its shy voice sounded sinister under the distortion of the metal mask.” Master, why are you here at this time?” Is the eldest lady at home asleep?”

“..”

“Take that thing off,”Kant waved his hand.

“No, no, no!” The parrot covered the metal mask and said shyly,” I swore that whoever took off the mask and saw my true face would marry me!”

“True face?”

Kant said calmly,” You’re referring to the stinky kangaroo, biting and beating pigeons, using the Modifier when you can’t beat a game, addicted to junk food and soda drinks, dirty mouth, daily cultivation, and virgin old woman. F * ck!”

After saying that, the parrot’s fist sank into Kant’s abdominal muscles.

” Humans always repeat the same mistakes.”

“Damn you, violent person…”

Kant held the parrot’s shoulder and stood up. He took off the metal mask.

” Kant,” she said affectionately.” Marry me, Kant.”

Kant reached out his hand numbly and rubbed her beautiful face. The second half of his confession was made into a muffled sound.” What are you doing, Ouraka?”

” Don’t always become Derila. You can use her face to trick and seduce me. She’ll cry.”

The parrot blinked. I can enjoy two things, and Delila won’t cry. I’ll be her all day and flirt with you. When you get used to it, you’ll naturally flirt with her. When she gets used to it, she can push the blame on me and naturally get used to your flirting. She can even become me and enjoy the feeling of being free. Isn’t that great?”

.. What a mess.

Kant grabbed the parrot and rubbed her back to her true appearance. He then looked at the experiment table. Various experimental materials were floating in the air, and there were many books piled beside them.

“What are you doing? Why aren’t you sleeping yet?”

” Read the books written by the later generations,” the parrot said calmly.” Learn about the technological progress and decline of this era. When you have nothing to do, study the new things of Ilan Tell and the element of paradox.”

” You found anything?” Kant snapped his fingers.

The parrot’s interest was piqued.” Yes. Pyroxene is very good at guiding the element of paradox. I’m thinking of pressing the fragments of the Star Dome Bridge into foil and wrapping them around the Pyroxene strip to make something like a wire. The element of paradox can pass through perfectly and stably until the end. Any thoughts? The chip was connected to the wire and extended all the way to his hand. Then, he would implant a wand core or other casting terminal in his hand, or even a half-solidified spell model. What did you think of?”

Kant’s body trembled.” F * ck! It’s a magic seal!”

“Correct answer!” The parrot said excitedly,” Where the hell did you find this Dior thing?”

” What’s the success rate of the live implant?” Kant asked excitedly.

The parrot shook its head.” I haven’t tried it before. I’ve tried it on animals, but it didn’t work. It’s mainly because the human body rejects it. The splendor crystals need to be treated in a harmless manner. This can’t be done by trickery. We can only keep experimenting.”

” You might like the news I bring,” Kant said with a smile.

“What?”

Kant told Parrot about the discovery of the Broken Archipelago.

The parrot suddenly straightened up and shouted,”I told you! After the monster devoured the Ilan Tell civilization, it slept in the sea for such a long time. There must be something wrong! Go, go, go! Go fight! Go to archeology!

Go dig a grave!”

P.S. 1: Speaking of which, was there a strict military merit system like the Qin Dynasty in ancient times in the West? After searching around, he couldn’t find it.
