Xingyue, another world recasts the glory of human nature

There is still plenty of time. When the town develops to a certain level, it will be possible to further explore the ruins.

It was getting late, Kazama and Hohenheim were walking quickly, but it took them an afternoon to get here.The sky was getting darker and it was almost time to return.

However, before returning, Kazama and Hohenheim still explored the slightly otherworldly ruins.

There are no bones of the city's aborigines among the ruins, and it is not like the flesh and blood bodies can still remain in the long time like iron and stone.

But there are traces left by the aboriginal people in the ruins, such as a statue.

This is a broken statue. There are several gaps in the middle of the body carved from special materials. The whole body is covered with cracks, but the shape of the statue can still be seen.

The location where the statue is located seems to have been a park. You can see damaged stone steps and stones left by the original fountain.

It can be judged from the ruins that the original owner of this city was a humanoid intelligent life.The appearance of broken statues reveals the appearance of this civilized race.

Humanity....

Although the statue is broken, it can be seen that it is a woman, with facial features and body characteristics that are the same as those of humans.There are no characteristics that are different from humans.

"There are humans in this world..."

The only living things Kazama has seen so far that can be said to be intelligent creatures are the group of goblins living in the forest.

But Kazama couldn't confirm whether there was only one kind of intelligent life group in this world: goblins.

If there are other ethnic groups, all of them are aliens like Goblins... From a civilization point of view, no matter from which aspect, Xingyue Humanistic Civilization is very lonely.

"Although blood and genes cannot be tested, at least the physical appearance is no different from humans..."

After staring at the statue in front of him for a long time, Kazama let out a long breath.

"A civilization of sufficient level cannot be completely destroyed by a sudden disaster. I think there are still humans besides us in this world."

Part of this judgment comes from rational inference, and most of it comes from Kazama's strong premonition.

The principles of humanity...the principles of human beings, the principles of ethnic groups, and humans in other worlds can also be covered by this huge concept.

Kazama somewhat captured the reason why the human system made him come to this world to reshape human nature. Although the clues were fragmented, Kazama still felt that he had vaguely grasped the key.

Hohenheim focused part of his attention on the damaged human female statue, and more on Kazama.

Hohenheim spoke softly and in a gentle tone:

"It's just that, apart from these ruins, no other traces of human activities in this world have been found yet."

Judging from the traces left behind by the ruins, it can be seen that the civilization that once flourished here has been destroyed for more than 500 years, or even thousands of years.

During this long period of time, it is unclear whether the world has experienced any major changes.

"It doesn't matter..." Kazama said: "Human civilization is very tenacious, just like human nature. Even in the face of a ruled and blocked future, it can still break through such a dead situation. Open an opening. Even if you encounter Yusei who has destroyed countless civilizations, you can still make people understand."

"Even in a different world, if we are human beings, even if we encounter a catastrophe, I still believe that human beings can survive, even if they are just hanging on. But as long as there is still a little spark of civilization, it will not end."

"Even if you don't encounter it now, you will encounter it sooner or later... just like in our world."

Whether it is the moon world or the real world, in the same world, no matter how far apart human civilizations are, they will eventually converge.

Although convergence often brings disputes and collisions, collisions also bring about new changes.

Before that happens, you still have to develop yourself first.

"It's getting late, let's go back first..."

Kazama looked at the statue, then turned his head and took a deep look at the shadowy building outline behind the magic barrier.

……

……

When Kazama and Hohenheim returned to the place where they hunted the earth dragon before, it was already night.

On the way back, darkness had completely fallen, and Hohenheim released artificial elves, splashing light and illuminating the road ahead.

When we arrived at the starting point, in the dark night, we could see an artificially raised bonfire in the distance.

This is the outskirts of the middle part of the ruins, with the only monster nearby that was defeated just now.

Although the monster is dead, its residual power is still there, and ordinary wild beasts do not dare to approach here, so even at night, it is still safe here.

The corpse of the monster that was originally placed here has disappeared, and it seems that it has been moved back to the town.The only traces that can prove its existence are the remnants of the battle and the dark blood stains that have dried and adhered to the ground.

Nearly thirty armed soldiers were stationed beside the bonfire, waiting for the return of their lord.

Poluk was among them. Judging from his neatly dressed armor and the smell of sweat, Poluk seemed to have been stationed here.

"Poluke, didn't I ask you to go back to town first?"

Poluk held the sword on his waist with one hand and knelt on one knee to salute:

"Master Kazama, please forgive me. Maintaining the safety of the town is important, but your safety is the top priority."

Hearing what Poluk said, Kazama felt a little helpless, but more pleased.

The people who came into this world with him were people with smart thoughts of their own. Without outside interference, they would make their own judgments and have their own ideas.But in terms of loyalty, it is directly full.

Behind human reason are two major restraining forces, and in this different world, it should be Alaya Consciousness.

Things like human collective consciousness are mysterious and mysterious, but at least the blessing of human reason allows part of the centripetal force to be on one's body.

This is a good point. From the perspective of the development of human civilization, most threats and disasters come from the outside, but the truly dangerous disasters come from within.

At least Kazama doesn't have to worry about dealing with internal threats for the time being, but can focus on developing and facing external problems.For those who have just taken root in human theory, this is already the best situation with no worries.

Chapter 23 Festival

After returning to the town, the matter about the ruins of the city came to an end for the time being.Both Kazama and Hohenheim knew that with the current strength of the town, it was still impossible to dig out the real secrets in the ruins.Therefore, the current main purpose is still development.

Kazama wanted paper and gunpowder, the latter difficult to make until the right raw materials were obtained.But in the former, paper was produced by Hohenheim.

The process of making pulp paper was not a secret in later generations.Papermaking was introduced to the West during the Tang Dynasty of China and became popular in the West in the [-]th and [-]th centuries.

The papermaking process can be copied, which is not a problem for a knowledgeable master alchemist.The real key to paper manufacturing lies in the choice of materials.

The animals and plants in this other world are similar to the moon world, but they are also different.The raw materials certainly cannot be copied directly.Only look for similar ones with similar properties.

Therefore, analyzing various animals, plants and even ores is one of Hohenheim's most important tasks as an alchemist.

In the end, the paper was made from a hemp-like plant that can be found everywhere in the forest.The fiber of this plant is very suitable for making paper.

At the same time that the paper was ready, Fengjian recruited a group of people who could read and write as officials.

The town has been upgraded once. Although 2000 people are not too many, if we really want to manage it, Kazama still can't do it alone.In addition, the town has entered a period of expansion, so it is necessary to recruit officials to assist in management.

The construction of the system is one of Kazama's focuses. The current development model of the camp is similar to commune management.

But whether a system is suitable or not depends most critically on the basis of productivity.Obviously, this model can only be used temporarily when the population is small. As the population expands, the system will definitely need to be changed.

The construction of urban management system is the focus of Fengjian's work, while another focus is still on agriculture.

This time, Fengjian allocated the existing farmland.The 600 people who initially established the camp were organized into family units, and each person was allocated some land.

This was not only a promise that Kazama made to his own subjects before opening up farmland, but also to stimulate the newly arrived subjects.

Today's cultivated land is undergoing a new round of reclamation.After the population increased, the original food reserves became insufficient, so more cultivated land was needed to expand food production.

October is the season for sowing winter wheat. Kazama must command and clear enough land before October to plant food. When the harvest is next April, there will be no worries about food.

The distribution of farmland obviously stimulated the people in the area, and everyone's enthusiasm for work became even higher.

The centripetal cohesion of ideology is very important, but beliefs cannot be eaten as food, and the material foundation is especially important.

In addition to growing food crops, Kazama also allocated some land for growing mulberry and hemp.

Rome's textile industry was not weak, with fabrics including woolen fabrics, linen fabrics and silk.There is no need to think about silk now. There are no conditions for raising silkworms, and it is not civilian.The main fabrics for civilian clothing are animal fur and linen crops.

There are many more women in cities and towns, and almost all of them have textile skills. This can be regarded as releasing the productivity of women with weaker physical strength.

It can only be said that this land is indeed uniquely endowed with fertile soil suitable for planting and abundant water sources.At the same time, there are treasures buried underground.

In October, when the town was busy sowing seeds, the geological exploration team sent by Kazama returned to the town and reported their findings to Kazama.

Previously, Kazama asked Hohenheim to help create magic props that could facilitate exploration.Then they sent people to explore the surrounding area, and now there is news, which makes Fengjian very happy.

The mineral deposits discovered were coal mines.

Coal is one of the important energy sources. Before industrialization, it was used by ancient people to burn lime, for heating, and also for smelting and casting.

Kazama sent Hohenheim to make another trip in person, and soon Hohenheim brought back more detailed news.

It is an open-pit coal mine and is also associated with iron ore.

Sometimes it does not mean that rich minerals are suitable for the development of civilization. With ancient technical conditions, the stratigraphic location of minerals is more important.

Taking the earth as an example, the American continent is extremely rich in mineral resources, but the smelting technology of the indigenous people in the American continent is very low-level, and they still use ancient stone tools and bronze tools.

This is because many iron mines are located deep underground, and more primitive civilizations cannot mine them at all.

For ancient times, shallow mineral deposits were the real mineral deposits.

As the name suggests, open-pit coal mines are very convenient for mining.

As for the associated iron ore in the coal mine, it is low-grade iron ore, which is better than nothing.

"It can be mined, but there is a serious shortage of labor right now. If you want to mine, you can only wait until the busy farming season is over."

Whether it is urban construction or agriculture, a large amount of labor is required.

"But it doesn't matter. The mineral deposits are around and won't fly away. Just take your time."

Population is an important criterion for urban upgrading, and food is directly linked to population.

As long as agriculture is developed in place, population is not a problem, not to mention the support of the human system.

……

……

Time has come to December in a blink of an eye.

The weather has turned cold, and a new round of town expansion has been completed.At least everyone has a roof to protect them from the wind and rain.

The population of two thousand has completely settled down in this other world, and most of them have started families during this time.

The Lord's Mansion has also been expanded, becoming more exquisite and grand.

In the lobby of the Lord's Mansion, compared to the cold outside, the Lord's Mansion with floor heating is quite warm.

At the dining table, Kazama and Hohenheim were having lunch together.

The staple food is wheat bread, tender lamb chops that have been grilled and greased, and a piece of fried fish.

As the town develops, so does Kazama's living standard.

The bread baked with fine wheat flour is soft and rich in wheat aroma, the lamb chops are tender, and the Medella reaction releases the aroma of oil.The fish is freshly caught from the river, and the plump belly is poured with wild fruit juice similar to lemon.

The development of the town is on the right track, and Fengjian is not as busy as before.At least part of the time could be spent learning magic from Hohenheim.

Now Kazama is considered an official entry-level magician and can cast low-level magic.

Hohenheim lives in the Lord's Mansion, and his magic workshop is located next to the Lord's Mansion.The Lord's Mansion has also undergone some industrial-style treatment.

Hohenheim was definitely considered a technical geek in later generations, and he spent most of the day huddled in his workshop conducting research.

Of course, this is also related to the job Kazama gave him.But Hohenheim seemed to enjoy it too.

Kazama is currently discussing the festival with Hohenheim.

This world has the alternation of day and night and the flow of four seasons. At the same time, it is almost exactly the same. The solar terms of the year and the month are determined, so the creation of festivals is naturally necessary.

There were many festivals in ancient Rome, the most important of which was Saturnalia at the end of December.It was used to worship Uranus, the god of agriculture, and to pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

The territory is vigorously developing agriculture, so such a festival is obviously very meaningful.

Chapter 24 Greenskin Trail

Kazama decided to hold the first grand celebration festival in the town and in this other world.

The festival itself evolved from sacrificial rituals.When the gods of the Age of Gods still existed, this kind of festival could really have an effect and attract the attention of the gods.

But now, the gods no longer exist, and the festival is purely commemorative, used to strengthen cohesion, reward for the hard work of the past year, and an opportunity to relax.

It’s just that the format of the festival needs to be slightly changed, and the aspects of the sacrifices have to be slightly changed.After all, there is no such building as a temple in the town, and there are no gods.The only thing that can represent the gods is probably the collective restraint of human beings and human reason.The directionality of the sacrifice can be changed according to this aspect.

Kazama plans to discuss this matter with Quintus, the town's agricultural officer.
