"This group of greenskins have seen humans like us, and in their perception, humans are very less threatening prey. Therefore, after seeing our soldiers, they will treat them as rare food. Rush forward regardless."
The real traces of human existence, coupled with the forest area shrouded in white mist, made Fengjian's heart move.
"You mean, the humans in this world are located at the other end of the forest. The humans that the greenskins encountered came through that forest."
Chapter 26 The Possibility of Taming
There are humans in this world, this is what Kazama and Hohenheim confirmed when they explored the ruins together.
It's just that the ruins are remnants from thousands of years ago. So far, Kazama has not found any traces of current human activities.
But goblins have come into contact with humans, which means that although the once prosperous civilization was destroyed, at least there are still humans left.
Kazama's thoughts at that time were finally confirmed.
It's just that the area of human activities in this world is outside this land.
After digesting this information, Kazama pondered.
After a moment, he raised his head and asked Hohenheim: "Is there any information about humans in this world?"
Hohenheim shook his head: "This kind of information is limited to this greenskin. It can only be confirmed that the humans discovered by the greenskins did come from the other side of the forest."
"I guess that white mist is not simple...perhaps it is similar to the magic barrier deep in the ruins. The purpose is to block this large area."
"On the other side of the forest shrouded in white mist, people can come in, but they can't go out."
"If you want to get more specific information, I'm afraid you can only get it by contacting the tribe to which this greenskin belongs. Whether the white mist forest that acts as a barrier is naturally formed or caused by man-made factors needs to be studied there in person. Only then can I confirm.”
"This is what I learned from this creature's thoughts and memories."
"And then there's the creature itself..."
Hohenheim said:
"When I saw this creature for the first time a few days ago, I had a guess."
"Research in the past few days has verified this guess."
Hohenheim focused on the green skin: "The birth of this creature did not evolve naturally."
Hohenheim said something surprising.
"This creature should be constructed by humans."
"There are designed parts in their genes. The most striking feature is that they are shackled in some aspects, such as... intelligence."
Construct a species.
After hearing Hohenheim's statement, Kazama was also stunned for a moment.
If the greenskins were created, then there is no doubt that their creators were the human civilization that once flourished here.
Creation is the power of God alone, and creating life is not that simple.
Hohenheim understands this particularly deeply.The highest achievement of alchemy is not only the Philosopher's Stone, but also the achievement of life.
Although he successfully created the villain in the bottle, an artificial life form.But this artificial life form has huge flaws compared to real creatures.
One of them is that artificial life forms do not have the ability to reproduce internally.Their birth can only ever come through Hohenheim.
Goblins can reproduce and continue with wisdom, if they are man-made creations.To be able to achieve this step, it seems that the level of human civilization in this world was higher than what I imagined.
"Excuse me..."
Hohenheim's voice interrupted Kazama's thinking, and the alchemist looked apologetic.
"I seem to be overly general again."
Looking at Kazama's expression, Hohenheim could roughly guess what he was thinking.
"It's actually not as exaggerated as you think. It should be said that this creature was not born out of thin air, but was made using the genetic blueprints of various existing creatures."
There is still a big difference between creation out of thin air and genetic design and modification.
For the latter, Xingyue World already has such technology.
The most typical ones are the 'Dead Apostles' and the 'True Ancestors'.
The vampires created by Zhu Yue were not created out of thin air, but were modeled on humans.The lower level Death Apostles can be transformed by humans the day after tomorrow.
In addition, [Wandering Sea], one of the pillars of the Magic Association, is also good at flesh modification and genetic design technologies.
Hohenheim coughed softly: "But to be able to achieve this, this former civilization is considered very powerful."
"They probably constructed creatures like greenskins to get servants and labor."
It is conceivable that the human groups in this world at that time drove the greenskins to build their own civilization.But due to an unknown disaster, the prosperous city turned into ruins.On the contrary, these greenskins survived and multiplied on this land to form their own civilization.
"As a labor force...that means this kind of creature has the possibility of being tamed?" Kazama thought of something and asked.
"This can be done, but it will take some time."
Artificial intervention in the genes of life is an amazing technology, but what is more majestic than human power is nature.
Over a long period of time, the natural evolution of organisms, either evolution or degeneration, can have the effect of transforming species.
If you want to tame the wildness of these green-skinned animals, it will take at least five generations of re-allocation.
It only takes five years for a greenskin to grow from juvenile to adult, and its life cycle is about 15 years.The time scale for re-taming is going to be very long.
Such a long time was enough for Kazama to summon Avisbronn.
When the time comes, using golems as labor force and productivity will be more cost-effective in every aspect.
So, there's not much point in taming it completely.
"And if you don't consider the level of innate genes for taming, it can also be done from the perspective of nurture."
Hohenheim continued.
"Like the goblin in front of you, I have subjected it to strong hypnosis. Although it still has its bad qualities, it can already be commanded."
The flaws of this taming method are obvious, inefficient, and hypnosis is not transmissible to its offspring.
Although the acquired taming method is a little less efficient, it is indeed what Kazama needs.
Following the open-pit coal mine, the team sent by Kazama to explore the surrounding mineral deposits discovered other mineral deposits on this land, including copper and iron ores that were urgently needed for urban development.
Without enough labor, Kazama could only stare blankly at the treasures buried underground.
It would also be great to be able to tame some goblins to use as mining labor.
Thinking of this, Kazama had already made a decision.
Next, he will have a good discussion with Poluk to clear out the greenskins again next year.
This is not only to obtain labor, but also to place the area deep in the forest within the sphere of influence.
After all, judging from the current situation, there is a human civilization native to this world outside the forest.
Even if they are from the same ethnic group, it is not that simple for two different civilizations to come into contact.
In addition to peaceful exchanges, conflict is more likely.Regardless of ideas, systems, or ideologies, they may cause huge friction.
But no matter what, Kazama must make contact.A closed civilization has no future.
In contact, the side that strikes first will definitely have an advantage.
Chapter 27 Celebration
Time quickly came to the end of December.
At the beginning of the month, Kazama planned a huge festival celebration at the turn of the old and new years.
In the middle of the month, the celebration plan had been confirmed, and the entire town was already aware of it.
The significance of this holiday celebration is huge.Not only to strengthen the cohesion of the people in the territory, but also to establish the calendar in this world.
So far, there is no such thing as a calendar in the territory.
The calendar is very important, it is the most basic activity benchmark for agricultural production.Nowadays, the agricultural production in the territory, when to cultivate and when to harvest, all rely on Quintus' experience to direct.
Fortunately, the environment of this world is very similar to that of the Earth. Whether it is the alternation of day and night, the length of the four seasons, or the ecology and climate, they are all completely different from the original Earth. Therefore, relying on Quintus's experience, agricultural production can be completed for the time being.
However, this is okay for a short period of time, but certainly not for a long time. This is not conducive to the development of civilization.
The premise for establishing a calendar is to measure how many days there are in a year in the world.
In ancient times, people determined the time of the year by observing changes in phenology, agriculture and other phenomena caused by changes in the position of the sun throughout the year.
This required time and a lot of measurements, so Kazama asked Hohenheim to use occult methods to help with the mapping and came up with a year.
There are 365 days in a year, and this world once again shows great similarity to the earth.
Perhaps, this is the Earth in a parallel universe.
The calendar was established and festivals naturally emerged.
New Year's Day - What Kazama wants to set up is a festival that represents the transition between the old and the new year.
When the holiday celebrations begin, the date is firmly set, and the history of civilization begins to flow from this moment on.
…………
On January [-], the celebration was held as scheduled.
From this day on, everyone in the town can have a three-day holiday, except for the soldiers who take turns.
Food in cities and towns is now publicly owned. Before the economic system was established, food was distributed uniformly from public granaries and logistics officers appointed by Kazama.The distribution standards are divided into several levels according to the nature of each person's work.
Today, Kazama asked the logistics officer to allocate an extra portion to everyone.
Holidays and food, that’s the perk of celebrating the holidays.
In addition to welfare, since it is a celebration, there must be some activities that can involve the citizens.
Kazama had discussed with several auxiliary officers before and decided on two celebration activities.
One is a sacrificial ceremony, which is used to wish all the smooth development of cities and towns next year and the development of civilization.
The other is a sports meeting.
Roman civilization was deeply influenced by Greek civilization, which was reflected in Rome's political culture and other aspects.
In Greek civilization, one of the most famous events was the Olympus Games.This event was also inherited by Roman civilization.
Rome's enthusiasm for competitive sports was definitely not inferior to that of the Greeks.
Kazama also strongly encourages competition and sportsmanship. A strong body is essential in the dangerous other world.
…………
The first year of the Pioneer Era, January [-]st.
The name of the commemoration was positioned as 'Pioneering', declaring what civilization was doing and its purpose when it came to this other world.
The ritual activities of the celebration are held in the central square of the town.
In October, the town expanded.The town center square has also been more than doubled.However, it is impossible to accommodate 2000 people.
In the morning, the square was crowded with citizens, and more citizens gathered on the streets outside the square.Heavily armed soldiers worked hard to maintain order.
A high platform was built in the center of the square, and the ceremony will be held under the leadership of Kazama, the lord, and the chief officers assisting Kazama in various departments.
Although some of the rituals of the Roman God of Agriculture were carried over, Kazama was not worshiping the God of Agriculture, or in other words, there were no Roman gods in this world.
But sacrifices and prayers must have a direction, an object of worship.Regarding this direction, Kazama simply chose human theory.
The gods do not exist, but the concept of human reason does exist.For Kazama, even figuration has become a system.
Bringing the people into this world is a miracle and a miracle that everyone can feel.
Kazama stood on the high platform of the square and recited a congratulatory message. The concept of human reason came out of his mouth. With the help of Hohenheim's magic, the sound echoed across the square.
The citizens just listened quietly at first, but after Fengjian finished his speech, the square suddenly burst into cheers, like a tsunami.
Standing on the high platform, Fengjian could truly feel the enthusiasm of the people, their longing for the future, their yearning for the future, and their determination to pioneer.
The will of each independent individual comes together to form a torrent.Kazama was slightly absent-minded, and he saw golden light flashing in front of his eyes.
There seems to be some kind of change in the human system in my mind.
Putting aside the digitized information, some more obscure information was felt by Kazama.
