Chapter 716 Preparations for returning to Port Harrison, and the link to the second road (add more for the lord Bai Cang!)
"Let me just say that with Axel's current thinking and purpose, he has no intention of 'immortality'."

It dawned on Ian at this moment, what he had seen and heard in the imperial capital, and all the decisions made by Axel since he came to power, did not show that he was a person chasing immortality.

But everything that happened to Isengard proved that Axel did have some "purposes" for the flesh of his offspring.

The elders have a purpose for the body of their descendants, and the first thing that comes to mind is obviously to seize the body, which is also an enduring purpose of the legendary villain in Terra.

But now it seems that Axel is not so simple.He probably just regarded the flesh of Isengard and others as a kind of precious "research sample". After all, blood with royal blood and parasitic monster blood is still very rare, and it is also very useful for controlled experiments.

"It seems that we have to pay attention to the purpose of the Institute of the Intellect and Axel. This is not just a matter related to Isengarde, but a major event related to all of us."

Determined in his heart, Ian's performance in the outside world is just a moment of contemplation, and then he raises his head.

The white-haired lord stretched out his hand, and he held the hand of the steward Moda. A cold feeling came, which made the old man startled slightly, but he didn't withdraw his hand.

"Moda."

Ian said: "If it were you in the past, you would not be able to perceive the cold. Your nervous system and brain no longer feed back these 'truths', but let you fall into a false illusion."

"But now, with a soul, you can perceive these 'real and objective environmental changes'...Which one do you think can represent your true self?"

"Moda. This kind of thing has always been free-minded. If you think that the original self caused by depression and brain disease is the real self, and the self restored to normal by the artificial soul is a kind of 'distortion'... …then I can restore you now, too."

It wasn't a threat or intimidation, Ian was simply stating a choice.

And Steward Moda cringed subconsciously—after realizing this, he suddenly realized, and nodded with a wry smile: "My lord, you are right. It is meaningless to entangle which one is me... what I am thinking about right now is me." ... No more entanglement with other..."

The old man shrugged.Apparently, as a former steward of aristocrats, he knows very well what is meant by 'ineffective work' and 'ineffective thinking'.

The body of Moda in charge has not fully recovered, and the artificial soul also needs to be stabilized and rested.

Roland took care of his father, while the others followed Ian back to the Lord's Mansion.

"Steward Moda is the 'example' needed for an artificial soul. He will be the first 'example' in our territory to carry an artificial soul in a human body, and strive to find all problems in him alone, and also Solve it on him alone."

In the conference room, Ian said to Adalbert: "During this time, you need to be more patient and observe the various symptoms on Manager Moda's body. If everything goes well, after correcting possible errors, you can take care of the entire situation. The territory has been popularized."

"Ah."

Adalbert responded softly, he was no stranger to this kind of thing, and he didn't think there was any big problem with the new version of the artificial soul he developed based on past research results.

He just fell into the thinking that Moda was in charge of before: which one is the real me, body or soul?

For the third energy level, the answer can be 'it's all me', and merged into a heart light... But for ordinary people, having a soul will cause troubles in life, right?For example, the body is stimulated by hormones to become enthusiastic, but the soul is still thinking calmly or even indifferently. This contradictory feeling will inevitably bring disharmony to people.

Manager Moda is an ordinary person, he will not think about such boring questions, but Adbert is a smart person, so he will be attracted and troubled by these subtle philosophical questions instead.

Ian could tell what his researcher was thinking at a glance, he just shook his head.

In the final analysis, this is something that can be solved by adding a function... The perception of the artificial soul is biased towards collecting information that the brain cannot collect, such as the surrounding sounds, changes in the environment, and the brightness of the light, and then aggregated into' Instinctive perception' or 'instinctive intuition' will do.

The human brain already has this function, and it will unconsciously collect surrounding information and process it, but only a part of it can be perceived by human beings—then let the soul deal with these problems, and enhance 'perception' and 'intuition' Ok?

In this way, after the popularization of meditation methods, all people with artificial souls in Xiahui may have the ability to "be aware of the autumn wind before the cicadas wake up"!

Even, when you reach a high level, you may have the mysterious "the way of sincerity, you can see it"!

After all, at a high energy level, the soul is able to perceive those so-called mysterious murderous aura and aiming, the feeling of other spirits condensing on itself... It's hard to say for the prophet, it's easy to hide from a sniper bomb and assassinate.

But Ian didn't intend to just stop Adelbert from thinking.The other party is a real genius, who knows what he can figure out by himself?

What the prophet has to do is to guide these people to think, not to block their possibility.

"Are artificial souls going to be popularized so soon..."

And Scott sighed.

Naturally, it is impossible to hide the fact from the deputy that such a major event as the artificial soul needs to be popularized. Scott has long known about it. If it is put into practical use, the warriors who guard the territory and the old people who died of natural old age can also be kept there."

"Although it is a good thing, what about the inheritance? Can the soul of the deceased control his own property? What about voting rights? Can they interfere with the outside world?"

"There are still too many problems."

Scott's ideas are very comprehensive and practical - as one of the actual managers of Xiahui Ling, he thinks about various ethical issues.

"Then establish a new law. Let us manage and formulate a new law with absolute power of interpretation in my hands."

Ian glanced at Scott, and then signaled him to look at Adbert aside: "The Shadow Society is the maker of this new law, and I am the lord who empowers the new law, and you, Scott, you will Will be its de facto manager - remember, you are my second in command and the first leader after I leave."

"Sometimes, you don't need to 'ask questions', you have to think about how you want to solve the problem, and then make it a rule."

It is obviously wrong to say that Scott is the best candidate for the actual leader of the Xiahui collar.

But the leadership team with Ian as the core...Adbert has a strong IQ and poor political literacy, Qingchao's combat effectiveness is not bad, his head is relatively average, Farr has relatively short qualifications and is old, and Roland is also a young man with little qualifications.

After all the calculations, Scott is a normal person!

As for talent...

Ian has always believed in one thing, that is to give anyone enough experience to accumulate self-confidence and experience, then at least he can become an excellent person.

Talents at the top need talent, while excellent managers need more training.

And Scott has it.

"Are you afraid? Suddenly have so much power?"

Sitting on the chair, Ian looked at Scott with a half-smile: "In the future, everyone in our territory, including you, will be implanted with artificial souls, and everyone will get this power—this will bring A brand new future, different ethics, new rules and social concepts... Are you afraid of the difficulty of this kind of management?"

Adjutant Tie Zhimin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head firmly: "No."

"My lord, I yearn for it."

He bowed earnestly to Ian, and said from the bottom of his heart: "What you want to bring us is a better world where ordinary people have power, even a world like that of Moda, who can be saved even after brain death— —How could I be afraid? I am looking forward to it!"

"I even hope that my parents will also come to Xiahui, so that they can also implant this brand-new invention... Ian, my lord."

He raised his head and looked directly into Ian's eyes. There was no doubt in Scott's amber eyes: "I want to see the world you want to see."

Ian was silent for a while.

Although he knew that Scott wouldn't be afraid, he didn't expect that the other party would agree so much, yearning for his decision...almost fanatical.

But it is not the fanaticism of a true fanatic. Obviously, Scott has verified through his own thinking and observations over the years that Ian is indeed the person he wants to follow.

This kind of trust... can be said to be a kind of faith.

"Ah."

In the end, he could only whisper: "I know."

"That's why I allow you to follow me. Otherwise, I would rather go alone."

For artificial souls, everyone has their own ideas.

Old Farr's opinion was very simple: "My lord, look at my age..."

Young people think differently from old people.

If it is said that Adalbert, Scott, and even Roland have room for sentimental, young people who think about consequences.

So for Farr, who has reached the age of decline, he has only one thought in his heart.

— Hurry up, hurry up!

I may die tomorrow when I sleep. You still tell me that social sequelae are not sequelae. I don’t care about your social hidden dangers. Use it for me first!
"When Moda's situation stabilizes, you can be the second 'experiment'."

Of course, Ian would not refuse the request of this experienced old bureaucrat. The wisdom of the other party is really invaluable to a group of ruling groups who are young but have no practical management experience.

It can be said that if there is no Farr, Ian is still worrying with Scott about how to get the census of the entire mountain people collective. Where will there be time to study so many technologies?

Without Farr's request, he is the first sequence.

As for the last one, Qing Chao...

Aoshio had no idea.

"Good thing!"

This was Ian's hearty and optimistic comment from the swordsman who finally realized what he should say after staring at Qingchao for more than ten seconds: "It's all a good thing!"

This speech fully reflects Qingchao's unwavering spirit of not caring about the challenges of fate, bravely facing the wave of the future, facing unknown things without fear, daring to face unprecedented ethical and moral dilemmas and technological changes. It highlights Qingchao's bravery and fearlessness , optimism, and the great dedication to contribute to the construction of Xiahui Ling...

"You write three more papers after get off work."

As a reward, Ian gave the other party the most direct reward: "Also, before the end of next ten days, please hand in my impressions of the book "On New Agricultural Planting Policy and National Agricultural Security Research", [-] words. "

Qing Chao couldn't be happy anymore, and the conference room was full of cheerful atmosphere.

The construction, development, and technological progress of Xiahuiling are now gradually coming to an end.

Basically everything has been resolved, and all that is left is to wait for the passage of time. Even if there is any research task, Ian can give it to Adalbert to study.

Therefore, Ian, who was fine for the time being, began to prepare his long-planned plan to return to his hometown in Port Harrison and the Great Labyrinth of the South Ridge.

Before that, however, he had one more thing to do.

That is the power brought by the Heart Light Body 'Guiding Star'.

That is to say, there is a link about [Spiritual Disaster Path].
