On November 11, the 105th year of the Holy Gu Calendar, this is the Unicorn Festival of the founding of the Empire.

In the imperial court, the capital of the Holy Beetle Empire, the aging imperial emperor looked at the many descendants below the gem steps, and under his sharp eyes, there was a hesitant heart.

The emperor was born in the first year of the Holy Gu Li. In fact, the entire Holy Gu Li was named after his birth after His Majesty the Emperor founded the country. He started a war at the age of 20 and then fought in all directions. When he was young, he was energetic and married many families to stabilize the political alliance.

That is: "In order to stabilize the country, we have to collect the harem and avoid the devastation of swords and weapons. This is great!"

But this matter is actually like the financial bubble, which stabilized the situation at that time. But now, the matriarchs of the six princes are different real-power families in the empire. Didn’t these families want to maintain the political rights of alliances with the emperor in their early years? But now, only one family can further maintain close contact with the royal family.

This kind of in-house struggle in the palace has almost no win-win point. The winner is the emperor, and the loser is the stepping stone for the sea of ​​corpses and blood. Moreover, those involved are all extremely powerful. In other words, after the struggle, a large number of imperial nobles who hold real power become losers. What will they do?

His Majesty the Emperor's first queen was born in a humble origin and was just a knight family. She was a maid by the emperor in her early years.

Well, this queen is true love. But there is nothing wrong with it. The queen gave birth to a child three times, and the boy died prematurely due to an "accident" and gave birth to a daughter for the fourth time. This girl, under the symbiosis of the Gu Nest, had been dormant for a total of fifty years before she could be completely born in this world. - This princess is called Jueying, and is currently guarding the northern border of the empire.

Now, even the hawkers in the imperial capital know that the issue of inheriting imperial power has become the largest bomb of the seemingly stable and prosperous empire.

Below, we will give these six princes a number according to their age.

Well, it's just a number. In fact, the total number of the emperor's children is much larger. Sometimes the seeds that stay overnight are also the emperor's bloodline, but the emperor has enough descendants, so the nobles will not recognize such illegitimate children. For example, the Lie Locust family supports the fourth prince, and the floating family supports the third prince. The local conflicts between the two families also originated in the court. As for other nobles, they also have their own teams.

Back to the hall from the perspective.

Huge beetle sculptures stand on both sides, and the outer layer of gilding makes the sculptures shine brightly.

The princes all knelt on one knee, but their eyes reflected through the mirror-like floor tiles, looking eagerly at the throne on the high steps. For the old man on the throne, each prince had a similar mentality.

Prince No. 1 (Zheng Xin), who now has the advantage of the empire, is eager to replace him as soon as possible so as not to change his current advantages.

The No. 2 Prince, who managed his local power to the iron barrel, hoped to get more names from his father. Even if he failed to compete for the throne, he could still have a force with extremely high autonomy. He could be regent in the imperial court, and he could retreat and break up the soil and become king.

For Prince No. 3 and No. 4, the main focus is on each other and intends to attack the other party during the battle for throne.

As for Prince No. 5 and 6, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can leave later and give his sparse wings a little more time to grow.

The Golden Beetle Empire, which ended the struggle for hegemony on the mainland and established its country for 60 years, now seems to be full of dangers.

The Emperor of the Empire, sitting on the throne, looked at the sects under the stage, and a ray of light burst out from his turbid eyes.

A hard cough in his throat showed that his body was already in its worst moment.

He waved his hand, and the insect servant who acted as guards on both sides stretched out his limbs and pulled down the curtain in front of the emperor.

These insect servants are three meters long, thin waists, bee eyes. The whole piece of golden armor hanging from their heads looks like a female. They can eject sickles from the inside of their arms, and the tough bones on their legs can make them jump twenty meters. They are bodyguards produced by the golden beetle's mother nest.

When a total of eight curtains were closed, a secret room around the emperor was formed.

A flash appeared in the emperor's pupils. From the emperor's perspective, a light spot appeared and then exploded into an image of a six-winged, eight-legged insect.

The insect saw the emperor and used radio information to directly talk to the emperor.

The insect: "Receptor, what's the matter calling me?" - This sound is like multiple speakers making sounds at the same time, resonating and transmitting sounds on the emperor's eardrum.

The tone of this insect shadow is very dull, and it seems to have been translated by second-rate and uses very few minimalist vocabulary meanings.

The emperor sighed and breathed a sigh of relief and turned into a panting: "Oh, cough cough, I'm almost dead."

Worm: "Lower, gene body, limited lifespan, can be modified."

Emperor: "After the transformation, did you completely lose your independent thinking and become a worker ant?"

The insect: "Life grows to a certain limit and should obey the social hierarchy order. This is the end rule of civilization."

The emperor raised his wrinkled head, let out a hard sigh, and then responded: "Insects, humans, the society you are involved in is the future, but it's very far away. Well, that's what happened after my death."

Zhun: "Yes, it takes a certain process to develop low-level civilization to high-level civilization. Absolute socialization, even the highest civilization, will eventually go to this point."

Emperor: "You always say that there are advanced civilizations, well, that is, all creatures were created thousands of years ago. Where are they?"

Zhu: "Beyond, you can understand, this involves the division of time and space in the starry sky."

The emperor spread his wrinkles and his eyes showed his thoughts: "Do you mean the founding gods really exist? Are we their descendants, or are we raised by them like worms?"

"They exist and have begun to become matrilineal, and most higher individuals have already simplified individuals and differentiated them. This is a transitional period for degenerating into absolute social species. As a higher civilization, they are very young, and our civilization history has been around for millions of years. Now, the improvements made on your planet are a revelation for them."

Emperor: "Is that so? Well, then next, my sons, cough, cough, cough, who do you think will be king will help your plan." The emperor seemed to begging, but in fact he set the scope for this insect.

"For us, when it is difficult to choose, individuals can fight each other, so that the strongest individual can be obtained."

The emperor paused, his face showed helplessness, and he smiled with all his worries. His breath calmed a lot, and he stood up vigorously, and the curtain in front of him opened.

This is a reflection of the light. His Highness's sons did not dare to guess so, and were forcibly suppressed by the emperor's majesty.

...

The 106th year of the Holy Gu Calendar, spring begins.

Xinfeng City Industrial Zone has once again been greatly expanded outward.

Linlong, who had scales, chassis tracks, huge forelimbs and docked with iron shovels, was digging the soil hard. The original slums had been flattened and extremely deep foundations were dug out. A large number of workers were pouring steel bars inside.

These seven-ton Linlong Guworms have electric muscle efficiency comparable to those of excavator hydraulic rods.

Zhou You: "It's not that I can't make this hydraulic rod. But when I was sending it to the manufacturer, they handed me a batch of products with a 10% yield rate. These defective products are prone to deformation and leak oil."

This electric muscle is a higher technological point than a hydraulic rod. The physiological tissue of Linlong has been produced by energy and will be used at present, so there is no problem.

A large amount of soil was dug out, and the garbage from the originally slums was pushed into deep pits and buried, as if it had buried this old era.

Now Xinfeng City has become quite clean and tidy as modern cities. This is completely different from the scene where the houses are lush and vegetation in the rich area of ​​the floating family in the east.

This is composed of large areas of artificial residential buildings, and it is a unit community.

Disadvantages of this kind of closed community: If the car era enters the future, the city will be very congested - but this is not a matter. Who can afford a car now?

The advantage is that it is convenient for management and population control. In addition to the daily work of workers, they live in a concentrated area. Then they shout a whistle to go to get off work, gather in the square at the entrance of the community, and take the shuttle bus to work.

In fact, this is a social preparation model. However, industrial wealth has been greatly created, allowing the population and living conditions in the city to steadily improve, and there is no dissatisfaction due to this government-mandated control model.

The entire city template is like an integrated circuit, which has unified water supply, power supply, unified education and medical care. This social efficiency is very high!

If this model is still the case decades later, then there should be problems, because society pursues too much efficiency of a fixed model and suppresses innovation.

If you want to "automate" the tools, humans can eat all their manual efficiency. But now, the civilians who have just struggled with urban life are talking about free innovation, and their hearts are now on food and clothing. Innovation should be the talents that their next generation has.

As for the future, can the ruler of the Burning Wheel turn around?

Zhou You now has a headache when he thinks of this longer-term problem.

Zhou You: "If you make a development plan now, you will definitely leave a pitfall for the future, but if you don't do it now, will there be a future in this world?"

The Zhouyou only has fifteen years, and compared with the previous lives, it is destined to be impossible to devote one's life to it, so it is necessary to leave some ideas for the civilization of the planet and find some guides.

...

At 6 pm, in the lobby downstairs of the Zhouyou office.

Fifty-four students sat in their seats in groups. After Zhouyou arrived, everyone stood up, including Yu Qian.

Zhou You waved his hand and asked them to sit down.

Zhou You: "You should know, what I am giving you!"

Zhou You's bright eyes met these children: "The way Linlong controls is not symbiosis, but depends on his brain, eyes and hands. If you want to learn from me, I can teach you. But your personal efforts are very important, and this is much more difficult than having it by signing a contract, but--"

Zhou You's eyes met Yu Qian: "This can make you look more like a person." Then he looked at them again: "Overall, you have been trained unevenly, and some people are obviously screwed up."

Some students in the hall lowered their heads, while others raised their heads.

Zhou You looked at the failure groups: "Don't be discouraged if you fail, there will always be mistakes in the process of growing up. We are humans. There can be mistakes in the process of cultivating tools, just start over, but you must not give up on yourself."

Zhouyou turned to the other side and looked at the students who were better trained.

Zhou You: "Don't be proud of your success now. Aoshi's classmates is a very good grade at this stage, but I hope you will compare with me. My expectations for you are not a follower of my eight-point technology. I hope that you will learn more than 100% of my skills, and then continue the past and go further on the basis. Do you understand!"

These students were confused, including Yu Qian who kept her head down and Chin Bush, who was raising her head.

The inertia of feudal thinking exists among these children. These children still dare not think about what Zhou You is giving them. Some top students dare not try to have the level of Zhou You controlling the Linlong when they get the Linlong, as long as they can roughly inherit a few points.

Most of them regard Zhou You as the "servant" of the future lord. Well, except for Yuqian.

As a retainer, I dare not think about being on par with the Lord, at least I think about it but dare not say it out loud.

Zhou You: "In my opinion, the first batch of lin dragons you obtained are all inferior products. In two months, I will issue a new batch of lin dragons."

There was a silent sound in the hall, but all these young student group leaders did not consciously inhale. Some opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhou You with incredible eyes.

Zhou You stared at them: "What I want is excellent students, what is excellent? A disciple who can make me proud! He must surpass me on the road I have opened up, and then the best people will preach on my behalf. I hope that there will be people in the future, like me, to open up the system again, and then select qualified juniors to pass on them like batons from generation to generation. Please remember that what I want in this lineage is to grow, to look down on everything, not to be conservative. - Xinzhuang!"

The core plant, who had been stunned for a long time, paused, and after a few seconds, he realized, shouting: "Here!"

Zhou You: "The Linlong in your group is the best cultivated this time, and I am very proud of you!"

In a brief moment of at a loss, Xinzhu seemed to realize that it was the turning point of fate, and immediately raised his head toward Zhou You.

Zhou You: "Very good, your group has the best results. As a winning reward, tomorrow, I will give you an independent Long Dragon Maternal Nest System. Now, I use your works."

…Sixty minutes…

In the biological base, all the students watched Zhou You's operation on the platform in dazzled. One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, a needle was injected into the drilling hole of the robot with a very strong technical feeling; then the spiral cutter cutter cuts the flesh; and then, they opened the body.

These students saw the internal organization of Linlong for the first time.

Xinzhu's face was pale, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw the things he worked hard to cut according to the tutor's teachings. It was like a little rabbit raised by a primary school student who was exhausted and had been dissected by his elder brother.
