Chapter 159 Experiment

"To confirm whether the neutralization device can operate normally..."

They did not stay in the sky for too long.

Gui Yu needed to verify whether the neutralization device could work and whether the earth veins within the control range of the earth vein tower could be detonated. To this end, they found an abandoned town and prepared to use it as an experimental subject.

If it fails, the loss will be controlled within their acceptable range.

The town has entered a semi-abandoned state. Only the earth vein tower located in the center of the town is still operating stably. It stands in the center of a large number of abandoned buildings, surrounded by streamers. It seems that the changes around it have nothing to do with it. The earth vein tower witnesses the rise and fall of the town.

"Is there no danger?"

Ji Lin asked Gui Yu, who nodded slightly and responded while holding the celestial disk.

"No problem, the next cycle of natural disasters will require at least ten days of accumulation."

Then he continued softly.

"Wait until I install the improved neutralization device, and then actively trigger the energy of the earth vein tower. The chaotic energy will quickly reach its peak capacity and then trigger the neutralization device."

During these days on Chiyuan, plus the time in the town, she used all her energy to perfect the neutralization device, and for this reason she did not step out of her own Chiyuan.

The villagers who came and went looked at them with numb and hesitant eyes. Most of them were old people. The young people who could escape had already fled this place of trouble. They looked at these two people who were obviously not the natives of this land where natural disasters frequently occurred.

The villagers wearing linen clothes lived in their houses that were compacted with mud, leaving the bottom layer of interlayer to resist rainwater. They could not live underground. Once the rainstorm came, the surging water would flood the small space underground and drown the people hiding inside.

They could not farm or raise livestock.

Relying on wild fruits and wild animals, they could only feed this small population.

Gui Yu was installing a neutralizing device for the earth vein tower, while Ji Lin found an old man to listen to his story about the town.

The old man looked at the exquisite pastry in his hand and swallowed his saliva, which was considered to be accepting Ji Lin's request.

Their town used to be a prosperous place, with tens of thousands of people living there. Relying on the star vein masters to help them adjust the climate, there was a good harvest every year, and the town had more and more people.

Those were good days with abundant food. Everyone could eat enough food to fill their stomachs every day. Even though the officials were levying heavy taxes and adding layers of taxes, every time they passed a level, all parties would try to take advantage of it. If the court increased its revenue by one cent, they might have to collect one cent from them, but even so, few people starved to death throughout the year.

But in order to cope with the complicated taxes, they had to let the star vein masters adjust the climate more frequently, otherwise they could not support so many people and pay the increasingly heavy taxes.

Every ten years, someone would come to the Earth Vein Tower to take something away, and someone would replace it with a new one, saying that they were there to help them maintain the operation of the Earth Vein Tower, but the old man remembered that there had never been such a person in his grandfather's generation.

Every time they took something out of the Earth Vein Tower, the harvest from the land would be a little less.

Then, for some unknown reason, the production decreased year after year. The climate was always unstable, but the taxes from the court did not decrease at all. They could only flee to other towns that were still rich, and then people fled, the land was barren, and the court tax collectors never came to them again... It would take dozens of days to go back and forth, and if they encountered a natural disaster, they would lose their lives.

After listening to the old man's talk, Ji Lin began to sweat coldly.

Without relying on official records, but from the words of Wang Qing, Gui Yu and the old man, the blueprint of this world was already in front of him.

The accumulation of contradictions in this society has reached its extreme. How many towns are there that can suppress all contradictions simply by relying on the extremely strong productivity and extreme suppression ability brought by the earth veins? How many towns are there on this land?

Population, productivity.

The collapse of the dynasties on Blue Star all stems from the unprecedentedly fierce social contradictions. After hundreds of years of development, a dynasty will have population growth and land annexation, and social contradictions will reach a level that the national system cannot reconcile. At this stage, only the complete destruction of the conflicting parties can eliminate the contradiction itself.

Ji Lin stared at the sky that was stained with a little gray. Complete destruction...

But what should be destroyed to save this world.

The fundamental contradictions that created this world...

He looked up and saw Gui Yu waving at him from a distance, and he stood up and walked over.

Standing beside the girl, he quietly watched the earth vein tower decompose itself in the light stream.

Getting closer, Ji Lin could see the process of the earth vein tower's self-decomposition more clearly. A slender beam of light rushed up to the sky from the top of the tower, and then slowly grew and spread until it swallowed up the entire earth vein tower. Because of the Tyndall effect, the light emitted by this beam of light scattered among the dust in the air, scattering a bright path at the edge of the earth vein tower.

With starlight dots, dazzling and charming - this is the form of the earth vein that can be observed by normal people.

This time the self-decomposition lasted longer. Even though Ji Lin had seen it once, he was inevitably shocked by this extremely close observation.

Gui Yu stared at the light column with his eyes fixed, and his amazement in his heart became even greater.

The villagers had never seen such a wonder, and they stood there in a daze, unable to wake up for a long time until the light column disappeared.

Then, the wind blew, and Ji Lin felt the breeze blowing from top to bottom over his body.

The energy fell back.

Energy flows back from the sky to the earth, sweeping across all the earth veins in this area like a wave, breaking up all the original earth veins and returning them to the earth.

A drop of rain fell on Gui Yu's cheek and slid down. She raised her head and looked up at the sky, blinking her eyes.

The sound of raindrops dripped, and the falling raindrops wet her clothes and hair, sliding down her body.

It was no longer a violent storm brought by a thunderstorm, but a timely drizzle.
