Chapter 511: The Power of Making Knowledge Meaningful (2/4)

  Chapter 511 The power to make knowledge meaningful (24)

  —Is there no upward channel, and a channel to replace knowledge with salary and social status?

  Hearing this, Ian was slightly taken aback. Although he had thought about similar issues before, he hadn't thought about it because there were too many things to think about...but now that he thinks about it, it's true.

  The reason why reading in the previous life was regarded as a way to change fate is because reading can change fate, gain the respect of others, obtain relevant job opportunities, and get a salary.

  Don't say that reading can sublimate yourself. If reading can't get actual social status improvement and corresponding rewards, then what about self-sublimation?

   After all, people have to live.

   And on Terra...the channel may not have been cut off.

   But the upper limit was suppressed by the 'sublimator'.

   The nobles occupy all the technology and the knowledge of sublimators. Even if ordinary people get the relevant technical knowledge, if they don’t become sublimators, they can’t go further on the professional level...

  The potions, inheritances, formulas, alchemist's help, suitability test for the body's bloodlines needed by the ascendant... These things are absolutely difficult to surpass in a generation.

   Of course, the ascending channel is not completely closed.

  If it is a true genius, one generation can become a sublime person, and then gradually accumulate wealth and knowledge, and after a few generations, one may become a nobleman.

As for this emerging aristocracy, traditional aristocrats will not reject it, because if they can absorb such a genius into their own power system, it will be a greater good thing for them-the position is not saturated yet, and the world is still big , They just don't want to be impacted, and this kind of individual sublimation is a good opportunity to absorb and strengthen themselves.

And some lucky people may be able to pass on the inheritance of the first energy level stably. In this way, there is no problem in being a wealthy land gentry in the local area, and it is extremely secure. As long as there is no war, famine or natural disaster, their status may More stable than some noble lords.

  But it is still a bit difficult to achieve class leaps purely by relying on knowledge.

  Of course, it is not ruled out that some people think they are incomparably geniuses, and they can compare sublimators with pure brains and skills. Some of them might really be that smart.

   But then what?

  Not even a sublimator, can't control the source quality, can't sense the psychic power, can't activate the inscription, can't do the experiment by hand... This is just a genius with a head, is there a shortage on Terra?

   It seems that sublimators have no brains and can't do scientific research, so you know research?

   What's more, the nations of Terra have no shortage of technology at all—Ian thought of those armors, those cultivators, those fertilizers and herbicides, those war weapons that he hadn't seen yet, but whose strength he could fully guess...

Even if Ian really brought all the databases and industrial machine tools of the previous Earth, he felt that he would not be able to catch up with Terra's pre-epoch technology without spending decades of farming, let alone Terra's current In addition to the pre-epoch technology, there is also a group of ridiculously strong sublimators.

   But here comes the question, if he doesn’t become a sublimator, why should he be able to destroy a city with a monster of the second energy level, and a monster of the third energy level can invade a dangerous world in a province, and farm stably for decades?

   Just like Ian now, he doesn't think the territory is so important.

  Because if he is the first level to go to the knight leader to farm, he may not be able to point out the plane until he dies, and if a big monster comes randomly, he may have to start all over again.

But if it is the second energy level, get the Barony and start planting, Ian feels that he might be able to point out the rocket, at least it will be more stable, there will be less trouble, and a swamp crocodile dragon Tenglan giant eel can drive it away, just like It is Viscount Grant who can drive Harrison Port to a stable and positive situation.

  But if it is the third energy level, if the inheritance of the sublimator is suitable, I am afraid that the aero-engine can be produced by rubbing hands.

  The starting level is not the same at all.

The king of the mountain in the Baisen Mountains, Xiou's mother, the true dragon of the fourth energy level, can fly in the atmosphere at 20 times the normal speed of sound, if he really wants to destroy a small country, he doesn't need anything To do it, you only need to lower the flying altitude a little bit, restrain the force that usually suppresses the impact of your flight, and then spend half an hour turning around the country.

  His flying speed even makes all missiles and artillery shells meaningless. The body and structure that can withstand the impact of high-speed movement may only be able to break through the defense if it is hit by a super-high-yield hydrogen bomb at close range...or maybe not.

  The destruction caused by the pure strength of the bricks allows the true dragon to negotiate with a country on an equal footing—in fact, any strong man who does not have his own power can negotiate with a country as a whole.

  Ian remembered the Dawn City that Master Goser had mentioned to him.

  Destroying its fourth-level monster, the body of the Yalilo hundred-armed giant vine is as big as a city. Is this titan creature really afraid of hydrogen bombs? The energy in their bodies probably exceeds the equivalent of 100 million tons of TNT, and the high temperature and shock waves of hundreds of millions of degrees and billions of degrees are nothing more than the high temperature and shock waves. The biological standpoint may be able to protect all key organs.

  As for radiation... Hey, the second-level insect nests can drink radiation as water and turn it into an energy source, and higher-level insect nests may have biological nuclear furnaces as their own energy sources.

  Ian reckons that the person who has sublimated the first energy level will not be too afraid of high-dose radiation exposure. As long as he does not die on the spot, he will definitely be rescued later.

For these, there is a great chance that it is the modified creatures left on Terra by the alien civilization that can cross the starry sky, or even the aliens themselves... Low-efficiency weapons such as thermonuclear weapons really only bully beasts and locals who have not gone to heaven. Indigenous.

Not to mention the more outrageous ones, even earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and even mantle lava plumes can be suppressed, as well as fifth-level creatures like Karin's Flower... These battles cannot take place on the planet's "king", at all It is a space battleship in human form, but it is bound to Terra.

   "Only sublimators."

  Sitting on the chair in his laboratory, Ian looked around at this large laboratory building that he would never be able to get when he stayed in Port Harrison.

  He said softly: "General knowledge is meaningless. There is no shortage of ordinary technical talents in this world. Everyone knows those things. The important thing is to have the strength to ensure that it can be built and developed."

   "Only the improvement of the essence of life, the strength and security brought by the sublimator can make all knowledge meaningful."

   "Not bad. Ian, you are really good."

Mikael applauded sincerely, and the second prince nodded and said: "So the popularization of education was actually quite a failure. The people who were popularized didn't want those cultures at all. They longed for something more urgent, such as how to improve How to farm well, how to raise pigs scientifically, how to make chickens, cattle and sheep fatter."

   "So, my royal father has actually been trying to popularize these little things over the years... Ian, you should have seen it over there, right? The kind of pamphlet that popularizes breeding methods."

   "I have seen it." Ian recalled, and he nodded: "Common Poultry Breeding Manual", "Postpartum Care of Sows" and "Woodland High-quality Meat Deer Breeding Manual"...even the natives are reading it."

"This is the popularization that is specially targeted after learning from my grandfather's lessons. Even the natives have to learn, and they will become part of the empire." Mikael nodded slightly: "I want to read books and understand these key knowledge , you need to learn to read and write, which is a hard condition.”

   "After that, there is a foundation."

"Ian... In fact, all Terrans are very smart, even those ordinary people who are not nobles are very smart. Because of this, it does not take two generations to subtly eliminate illiteracy, which is left to us by the civilization of the previous era. heritage."

  At this moment, Ian frowned.

   "Your Highness" he looked at the second prince in front of him seriously, almost asking, "Why do you know this?"
