The atmosphere of cooperation between Yinglong and Chen Ang, or rather, the Republic and Chen Ang was rather odd. Yinglong did not know what level of connection the 'Chen Ang' before him had with the Apocalypse. He could be a possibility developed from the Apocalypse's' past ', or even a part of the Apocalypse. On one hand, he could be a cornerstone for the Apocalypse to advance to a higher dimension, a kind of exploration.
On the other hand, he could be deliberately cultivated by the Apocalypse, an existence that stood on their side like Adam, or even Adam himself.
On the one hand, Yinglong and the Republic he represented were irreconcilable enemies with the Apocalypse. The grudge of the homeworld, the hatred of the destruction of the world, and the various horrific acts that the Apocalypse had committed in order to force the Republic to diversify and burst forth with endless possibilities had long engraved each other's existence into the very essence of their own existence.
Yinglong knew that the purpose of the Apocalypse was to allow both sides to reach an existence of fusion and opposition, so that the Apocalypse could draw nourishment from the Republic, a civilization with endless possibilities. By leveraging on both sides' hostility and constant desire to destroy each other, the will of the Apocalypse would always remain highly active and in a state of infinite variables, and not fall into a state of death and twilight.
And it was because of the 'catfish' that was the Apocalypse that the Republic had been able to maintain the vitality and direction of civilization.
A healthy mind, or even civilization, should have highly active variables, constantly bursting forth, advancing, and exploring inspiration and motivation. No matter how terrifying the Apocalypse was, no matter how fast it evolved, it still needed a seed with endless potential like the Republic to stimulate itself and maintain the vigor of exploration and learning.
From Yinglong's point of view, the Apocalypse was creating the best target and opponent for him to learn from, and everything it had done before was to groom this chosen enemy from all aspects.
But understanding did not mean acceptance. The civilization that was fostered by the Apocalypse would never forget what the Apocalypse had done, and every individual in the Republic had a mountainous hatred for the Apocalypse. They would never forget the melted homeworld in the solar storm, nor would they forget the terrible price and sacrifices they had to pay when they were driven to wander and struggle for survival.
They would never forget what they were forced to give up, nor would they forget the choices that every individual in their civilization had made under that shadow.
"Invincible foreign patient, the nation perishes!" Yinglong softly chanted the ancient text from the Mencius, fusing it into the legacy of the Will of China, feeling the undaunted spirit and will that came from the source of civilization, always moving forward. He understood that from the moment he was chosen, the Apocalypse and the Republic were two sides of the same existence, and both were fated to be entangled in the timeline to an unpredictable end.
Chen Ang then turned to look at him, his Yinglong gaze telling him, "No matter how great the price, how long the time, how much effort and sacrifice, we will destroy you (the Apocalypse) at the end of time!"
Chen Ang just smiled and nodded, as if to say, "I'll be waiting for you!"
The museum had been expanding these days. With Chen Ang's superb level of structural mechanics and architecture, it had excavated and built a three-story laboratory underground without affecting the buildings on the ground. It had also set up a complete protection system. When Yinglong took the elevator down to the third underground floor, he saw that the power supply system and defense system were complete. It was very crude in their era, but in 1920, it was already amazingly advanced. He couldn't help but admire Chen Ang a little.
To be able to complete such a project under the supervision of the Lord God without any means that exceeded the Lord God's vigilance was amazing.
"Because of Egypt's long colonial history, the local industry is not systematic at all, even worse than the Great Green Fruit. Here, Britain and France are basically operating as subsidiary colonies. The most developed industry in all of Egypt is actually near the Suez Canal, to provide repair and maintenance for the warships that come and go. That's why there is a relatively developed industrial system. "
"This is still all under the control of Britain and France. But now it's under our control. Even so, with just this small steel factory, small machinery factory, wanting to expand into an industrial system that can be independently replicated and constantly upgraded is simply a joke. You have to know that Egypt has not achieved this in 2017. "
Chen Ang sighed and said, "Especially the quality of the population and the basic industrial system. I have already let the people of the Eye of Horus infiltrate Europe. With the advantage of distance, it is not difficult to transfer part of the industrial system from Western Europe. But the quality of the industrial population, I'm afraid that by the end of the plot world, the closure of the time loop will not be able to complete the quality of the industrial population. "
Yinglong nodded and said, "Industry is a complex system. Even if the Republic wants to replicate it from nothing to this world, it needs a number of preconditions. Science can't develop in an agricultural country. As far as I know, Egypt still relies on the export of wool, agricultural products, and canal tolls to maintain its domestic economy until the new century. "
"So don't be afraid of sacrifice." Chen Ang emphasized, "If 90% of the Egyptians who die can lay the foundation of an industrial country in China for the Republic, it will be worth it. Compared to their own worthless birth, worthless death, and shedding blood for some illusory religion and other colonial powers, it is better to let them sacrifice for the Republic."
"Breaking through the control of the Lord God and normalizing the world's timeline is the world's greatest cause. If they can die without being an NPC, it is their greatest realization of self-worth. Compared to wasting their lives on illusory goals such as religion, nationality, and even imperialism, sacrificing for the liberation of mankind and the freedom of the world is the real way out for the Egyptians. "
"So when you turn them into the Blood Clan, don't worry, and don't have any psychological baggage."
"All the believers of the Church of Truth are definitely willing to sacrifice for the Lord, and the Lord is equivalent to this world, so there is no doubt that they are willing to sacrifice their lives and souls for this world, for their Lord. So we use their lives and souls, of course, they are willing! As for those who are not willing to sacrifice for this world, they themselves feel that they will go to hell. Since that is the case, let them go to hell. "
"The Republic must respect their beliefs!" Chen Ang said excitedly.
"The devout believers of the Church of Truth are willing to sacrifice themselves for their Lord, while the undevout believers will go to hell according to their own wishes. In short, they are all willing to sacrifice … The Egyptians are willing to sacrifice themselves, so we must respect their wishes. So we give them a set of human experiments and Blood Clan conversion. "
"Only in this way can we transform millions of people who are not suitable for industrial quality into a population with industrial quality. This is the cause of the Eye of Horus." Chen Ang emphasized to Yinglong, "Even if 99% of the Egyptians are used up, we must make China stand up again!"
As they spoke, Chen Ang brought Yinglong to the most important laboratory on the third underground floor. As soon as Yinglong arrived, he was attracted by a few tattered corpses soaked in nutrient solution in the laboratory. Looking at the strange shape of the corpses, it was not difficult for Yinglong to imagine that they were the corpses left behind by the Reincarnators.
Yinglong matched the few corpses in the laboratory with the information he had absorbed after waking up and realized that this should only be a part of it. It was probably just one of the many laboratories Chen Ang had.
However, Chen Ang walked up to the female Reincarnator from the Ghost Cutter Team called "Eniko" and took out a thick, light blue test tube from the experimental freezer beside her. Both ends of the test tube had password locks, and the four corners of the high-strength glass tube had a metal outline, so there was no need to worry about it falling. Chen Ang took one out and threw it to Yinglong.
Yinglong caught it and realized that there was a worm-like blood vessel system floating in the light blue test tube. The entire blood thread was spread out in the light blue nutrient solution. Yinglong could even see that when the test tube vibrated, the blood thread also showed signs of a living creature twitching.
Of course, Yinglong would not be as ignorant as the Reincarnators from the Nine Prefectures Team. When Chen Ang first chose Yinglong as the personality donor for the Descenders, it was because of the warrior's scientific accomplishment, or rather, the scientist's combat ability. He asked in surprise, "Is this a Neuro Worm?"
The Neuro Worm was a multicellular invertebrate. This kind of creature was usually translated as a worm, but the reason Yinglong used the name was to highlight one of the extreme characteristics of this creature. It was a creature with the simplest neural responses. In other words, it was a life form that reflected the most basic neural characteristics.
In neurological research, this kind of creature was also the most commonly used experimental animal. It had a special significance in neurology.
Chen Ang nodded and said, "This is a carrier. The important thing is the thing inside it."
Yinglong carefully observed the Neuro Worm in his hand again. This time, he found some clues. He studied it seriously for a few minutes before he raised his head and said, "A very simple life form. No … I should say that this is a living nerve. Other than the nervous system in its body, you have adjusted the other life forms to the most simple state. You are using it to study that unique nervous system!"
Yinglong focused on the characteristics of the Neuro Worm. He was surprised to find that the nervous system of this Neuro Worm was similar to the nervous system of most of the creatures on Earth. Although there were similarities, there were also fundamental differences. So the Neuro Worm designed with this kind of nervous system did not resemble the life forms on Earth at all.
