No matter how Phoenix tried to persuade him, Roland was unwilling to promote the integration of devils and humans.
In the end, Phoenix had no choice but to leave.
She felt that she had misjudged Roland. Although this man was strong and talented, he lacked great responsibilities and had the name of a great sage, but he didn't have the breadth of mind to help the world.
She was very disappointed.
However, Roland didn't think much of Phoenix either.
Indeed … she was an anomaly among the Demon Gods, and even considered a good person.
But … she was too naive.
The Realm of Devils itself was a small world, and the Demon Gods were actually similar to the human Lawful Gods and Astral Gods, all products of group consciousness.
They were just the gods of the devils.
Normally speaking, Phoenix was a demon god, and logically speaking, she should also be chaotic and evil. However, she had once traveled in the human world incognito for a long time and understood what order and philosophy were.
It was just a pity that, limited by the knowledge and civilization ideals of this game world, her view of the war between civilizations was still too idealistic.
Roland knew very well that between civilizations, if they couldn't achieve high-dimensional crushing and assimilation, they were bound to fight to the bitter end.
The more they fought, the more they hated, and the more they hated, the more they fought, and in the end, they were like water and fire.
Now the devils and the human world were actually like water and fire.
Of course, it was the human world that hated the devils to the extreme.
The devils, on the other hand, looked down on humans and just treated them as food.
Although Phoenix had left, the atmosphere in the room was still a bit gloomy.
After all … Phoenix wasn't a bad person. She had also helped Andonara, and she was the ancestor of the Hero family. Angering her away, even though Andonara was firmly on Roland's side, the latter wasn't in a good mood.
But Andonara wouldn't blame Roland.
She clearly distinguished who was close to him and who was distant.
"Actually, I think what she said makes a bit of sense. Roland, why aren't you willing to cooperate with her?" Andonara put a glass of home-made wine in front of the man. "I'm not speaking up for her, I'm just purely curious."
Roland naturally understood that Andonara wasn't speaking up for the other party, but was just asking for an explanation.
"The most important thing for the integration of different races is to have similar, common values," Roland explained. Roland explained, "Human beings are now an agricultural civilization, and the devils can be regarded as a nomadic civilization, or it would be more appropriate to call them barbarians. It was normal for humans to produce and sell things on their own. This was a process of accumulating wealth. But for the demons, plundering was the best way to survive. They didn't produce. They used up all the edible things and resources in the surroundings, producing a large number of people. Soon, there would be a famine. At this time, they began to think of starting a war to solve the problem. Whether they win or lose, to them, it will solve the problem of overpopulation. "
Andonara's head was a little dizzy.
Although she was very strong, she couldn't compare to Roland in terms of knowledge.
Not to mention the concept of farming and nomadic civilization.
Ordinary people in the information age could roughly understand the meaning of such a concept at a glance. That was because everyone in the information age had subconsciously received a large amount of knowledge and information in their lives. Their knowledge was much greater than that of the people in this world.
Therefore, as long as a concept was mentioned, most ordinary people in the information age could quickly refer to their own knowledge base to understand the meaning of these words.
But not Andonara!
She had never heard of such a concept, and she didn't have similar understanding.
Roland smiled. "To put it simply, to put it bluntly, it's the difference between an honest man and a bandit."
When he said that, Andonara understood.
"You're worried that after the devils come to the human world, even if they pretend to be good people for hundreds of years, they'll still reveal their bandit nature as long as there's enough of them, right?"
Roland nodded. "Phoenix doesn't solve the devils' instinct to burn and rob, but instead asks us to cooperate with the devils, which is a kind of arrogance in itself. If I do as he says, it won't be irresponsible to the human world. I'll be cursed to death. "
"Then we really can't cooperate with him." Andonara nodded.
After that, he never mentioned this matter again.
Roland, on the other hand, continued to wait for the basic construction of the floating city while researching and developing some magic.
In reality, the research came to a halt.
Even though the number of experimental subjects was expanded, the most talented people's final progress stopped at the point where they could barely mobilize some magic power and use Hand of Magic or Illumination.
Things like magic elements couldn't be detected by scientific instruments for the time being.
Instead, the human mind could sense them.
This once again confirmed the crooked theory that the human brain was the most advanced "instrument."
"Director, do we need to expand the recruitment of experimental subjects again?" Su Minluo put a proposal on Roland's desk. "We can recruit experimental subjects from the army. According to our previous theory, the better a person's physique is, the more likely they are to have talent in this area."
Su Minluo's suggestion actually made a lot of sense.
Roland's physique was now quite good.
After being strengthened by magic power, his cells and bones were only seventeen years old.
This was the data from a dozen tests.
So there was a belief in the department that the better the physique, the more talented they were at casting magic.
The brain was an energy-consuming monster. In a normal person's state, its energy consumption was as high as 20%.
If magic was to be used, more energy would be needed … Without a strong physique to supply energy, how could it be sustained?
Roland thought for a moment and said, "In theory, your plan is feasible, but I don't know if the higher-ups will approve it. After all, our experiments are considered super confidential. Will there be any negative effects if we rashly recruit people from the outside? "
"That's for the higher-ups to consider," Su Minluo said casually. Su Minluo said casually, "What we need to do is to raise the problem and give the solution. Then, the leader will make the decision.
Su Minluo had been in the system for years. She knew how to do things here better than Roland, who had joined halfway.
Roland thought for a moment and gave the proposal to the director of the base.
The director read it carefully and said, "I'll give you an answer in one month."
Then, Roland went to the "invention test site" at the bottom level of the base.
This place was very spacious, and it had been reinforced by cement at least fifteen meters thick. According to Lu Yong, the cement walls were mixed with a lot of lead powder.
Since nobody else was testing here, Roland swiped his card at the entrance and left a record, before he entered the place.
He barely used magic recently and had been accumulating magic power.
He also used the magic power to strengthen his body.
Different from the game, magic power was pure energy.
The improvement of one's physique depended on the leveling up.
However, in reality, Roland discovered that magic power could change one's physique.
At this moment, he could easily take down Lu Yong, the deputy captain of the security team, without any strengthening spells.
He came here because he wanted to release some of his magic power.
After all, it would be too much if he stored too much.
A small blue fireball hit the cement floor. After a thunderous explosion, a round pit about one meter deep and two meters in diameter was left on the cement floor.
"Damn it. It's as powerful as a mortar!"
Someone in the surveillance room couldn't help but curse aloud.
Roland's magic experiments weren't a secret here. Every time he used magic, a lot of people would watch him in the surveillance room.
Most of them were security guards who had been exposed to a lot of weapons and knew what kind of weapons could cause such an explosion.
The director of the base was among them. On the surface, he barely interfered with Roland's experiments, but in fact, he was the one who cared most about Roland's experiment results in the entire base.
It was because the higher-ups had given the order that Roland and his experiment projects were of the highest priority in the entire base.
None of them were.
It meant that if Roland was even scratched in the base, he would be questioned by the higher-ups.
However, he couldn't control or protect Roland, so he could only be anxious.
Also, he tried his best to protect the safety of the entire base.
There were safety precautions, security issues, and so on. Such meetings had to be held every week, and orders had to be repeated.
Then, they watched Roland snap his fingers and release several blue fireballs in a row, leaving pits on the ground in front of him.
"Wow, the repair team is going to be busy."
"Not at all. Not at all." One of the repair team looked at the surveillance video and said, "We wouldn't be scared if there were a few more of them, but right now, we don't have enough of them."
There was nothing but laughter in the surveillance room.
At this moment, the director's receiver slightly shivered. He stopped smiling and walked outside. He picked up the call and asked, "What's up?"
"A comrade with a high level of confidentiality has delivered a package for Comrade Huang Wenwei."
"Does their information match?" asked the director.
"We've checked them. They can be found in the system."
"Then use the equipment to scan it, check it, and then send it to him."
"The problem is that we can't detect what's inside."
"Huh? What do you mean by that? "
"It means that the scanning tool doesn't show what's inside the package. It's just a bunch of pixels."
The director was stunned. "Wait, I don't remember that the scanning tool can detect pixels."
"Yes, so we suspect that the thing inside the package is the pixels."
After a brief silence, the director shouted in disbelief, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"No, it's indeed a bunch of pixels."
The director rubbed his head. "Check the identities of those comrade again. Let them in after they're confirmed. I'll take Comrade Huang to pick up the package. It might be something related to his ability."
After that, the director went to find Roland.
Very soon, they reached the entrance of the base on the top floor.
Four young men in plain clothes were standing at the entrance. After they saw Roland, one of them took out his phone and checked Roland's profile. Then, he walked to Roland.
They shook hands and introduced each other.
Then, the man said, "Comrade Huang, the package has been delivered to you. We've accomplished our mission. See you later."
"Thank you." Roland didn't ask them to stay. This was a special research base with a high level of confidentiality. They couldn't accept random outsiders.
It was the same even if the other party had a high level of confidentiality.
What the four of them gave Roland was a very long bag.
Looking at the green bag that was about a meter long and looked like a travel bag, Roland was about to lower his head and open it.
But at this moment, the director stopped him and said, "Don't be hasty. Check it first."
Even though the other party had a high level of confidentiality, the director of the base felt that he had to go through the necessary procedures.
Two security guards wearing thick explosion-proof suits and holding transparent explosion-proof shields walked over.
They carefully hid behind the explosive-proof shield, then turned half their bodies sideways and carefully opened the bag.
The two of them scanned the bag with two different instruments and even opened the bag to see if there were any monitoring devices.
After at least five minutes, the examination was over. One of them walked to Roland with a long, green stick.
"Comrade Huang, this is the only thing in the package."
The director asked, "Are you sure you've checked it?"
"There's no radiation, no electricity, and it's not explosive."
"Okay."
In fact, they knew that it was probably not dangerous, but they still had to go through the procedures.
Roland accepted the green stick.
In fact, he had a feeling just now that the stick was definitely extraordinary.
The moment he touched it, Roland sensed that the magic power in his body was surging.
Moreover, this green stick actually had a pure energy that was slowly pouring into his body.
"Is this … a magic power crystal?"
That was Roland's first reaction, but then he denied the idea.
This energy was very pure and did not have any attributes. It was just pure energy that could be absorbed and converted into magic power.
Seeing Roland's change of expression, the director of the base who had been watching him was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Comrade Huang, what's wrong?"
"I'd like to ask if I'm qualified to investigate where this green, crystal-like thing was mailed from," the director of the base said solemnly.
"The sender's level of confidentiality is very high. We don't have the clearance to trace them. The system only shows that they are our internal personnel, but their specific workplace and workplace are hidden. Why, is there something wrong with this crystal stick? "
"It's a big problem, a very big problem." Roland looked at the director and said, "This is an energy stick. It's the special energy in nature that we've been searching for."
The director of the base changed his expression.
He had been tracking the progress of the experiments in Roland's department. He knew that Roland couldn't find magic power in the air, so he had been overdrawing his vitality and transforming it into magic power.
But now, someone had sent him an energy stick!
Did it mean that another base was doing similar experiments?
Also, their progress was faster than here?
They knew that Roland's research was in a bottleneck, and they even sent him the key?
Looking at the director's face, Roland's heart was rolling too.
In fact, there was something that he didn't say.
The energy contained in this energy stick was rather terrifying.
Roland felt that it wouldn't be a problem for him to build a smaller floating city in reality after he absorbed all of it.
