Steel steam and flame

"But this is not enough." Li continued, putting on his hat again. Most of his golden hair was hidden by the hat of the same color as his clothes. "This is just what they built together to obtain a steady stream of money." The source of power is institutions, not methods. If you want to have the corresponding power in every era to consolidate the status and power of your own family, you must make other preparations."

"So there is a training plan for the so-called Twenty-Third Duke Family." Cassia guessed in the direction of Li's words.

"It's funny to say that the training plan was a method they came up with decades after they established the military school. At the beginning, the military school was not in this situation. All schools in that era were like this. Facing the recruitment of students from all over the empire, the major duke families then extended different olive branches based on the performance of these students, recruiting these powerful people to protect and consolidate their own family's status and power. But something unpleasant happened later. The incident made them realize for the first time the importance of their family lineage," Lee explained.

"Some people were dissatisfied and began to rebel. They wanted to establish their own power." Cassia thought about the development and direction of things.

Li nodded and continued what he had not finished: "As you said, people who have mastered power certainly don't want to be driven by others, and when he found out that the people who ordered him were still a group of people who had no talents at all, they just relied on the family's original savings. And when people are living their lives, they must have thought again at that time, why should I be controlled by them? Their talents and strength can completely establish a force as huge as theirs, and there is no need to be ordered around like a dog under their hands. With Strength, when people have to have a corresponding identity. Therefore, that large-scale rebellion almost destroyed the kingdom of power they had worked so hard to build. At that time, the Twenty-three Grand Dukes' family only continued It’s just two generations. They’re scared.”

"What a big crisis." Cassia smiled rarely, but very coldly. He roughly knew what the Twenty-Third Duke Family would do for power from then on.

"Of course, this was definitely a crisis related to their survival for the Twenty-Third Duke Family at that time. So from that time on, they began not to trust people other than their own family lineage. Even if there were, They will also rely on women or men in the family to carry out marriages, so that these people can be more or less related to their own family in terms of blood. But even if things have reached this point, they are still worried, and they have discovered a big problem. " Li said nothing and looked at Cassia's face and smiled, letting Cassia guess.

Cassia didn't speak, he couldn't guess, but he always felt that the answer would be a very simple and easy-to-understand question.

Li shook his head and said, "It's normal not to be able to guess. After all, it took a long time for even the 23rd Duke's family to find out. The reason is very simple. No matter how they rely on their children or sons to get married, they can let Those strong men were tied to their own families, but at that time they ignored a fatal problem - there were too few people with their own family blood. Without a population base, no matter how to win over others, things would still happen in the end. The same rebellion. And with only quality and no quantitative advantage, their status was still threatened by many factors. So at that time they proposed a plan that continues to this day - this is one of the training plans, in a short period of time Infinite within creates man.”

"What's the meaning?"

"The training plan was proposed in the 124th year of the Holy Calendar. At that time, with the help of the Analytical Machine, the empire had already had the first generation of relatively complete surgeries. As one of the core powers of the empire, they certainly knew the direction of the empire in the future. It will definitely be closely related to the surgery. And you must have a deep understanding of the effects of the surgery."

"The changes brought about by the surgery have indeed made us completely different creatures." Cassia answered without hesitation.

"The word 'biological' is used very well, because at that time, and also including the plan to create humans that is still being implemented now, it was just a simple knowledge of biological reproduction that allowed human beings to develop their reproduction to unprecedented prosperity." Li smiled, with a look in his eyes. There was a hint of disgust, but it was well hidden and Cassia did not notice it.

He added: "There are still various gaps among human beings, so even if a large family controls excellent educational resources, there will definitely be some mediocre and mediocre people among their children. This I don’t think you would disagree with my point of view.”

Cassia nodded, said nothing, and waited quietly for Li's next words.

"So in order to make the best use of everything, after undergoing the surgery, they have endless energy. And the training plan was proposed at that time, so the family thought it would be good for you to waste this energy on women, so they These people constitute the first batch of the human-creation plan...,,well..., it might be more appropriate to describe it as a stallion or a breeding pig. Do you know what a stallion or a breeding pig means?"

"I know, the meaning explained in the books is clear and clear. I don't think they will make a fuss about these things." Cassia felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.

"Mr. Cassia, when I first came into contact with these things, I felt the same way as you. But you have to understand that this kind of horse and breeding pig is not something that one person can do if he wants to. First of all, you have to go through the surgery to reach the second level. Only people at this stage can do it, after all, this matter,,,um,,, the bodies of ordinary people cannot bear it." Li Nan said no longer fluently. "They become tools for sowing, creating a large population for the family in a short period of time. And because they are surgeons, their offspring are somewhat stronger and smarter than ordinary babies. The Twenty-Third Grand Duke's family knows that they have found the right one. After learning the direction and method, other families such as counts and marquises also followed suit."

"But where do so many mothers come from? I mean those women who give birth. Although the empire allows one person to marry several women, this does not seem to meet the requirements of the family, right?" Cassia asked.

"Mr. Cassia, I think I have said that when everyone has something, it must be the lowest thing. Although I don't know how long it took for life to become something that can be used for money in the history of the empire. To measure. But we can at least be sure that when the Twenty-Third Grand Duke family proposed these plans, life was already twenty-two holy coins per pound. Therefore, the population in the vast empire, the sense of existence has always been like air , there is basically none, and it is also the least valuable thing. So, although women can be barely regarded as commodities, in the eyes of the Twenty-Third Grand Duke family, the price is not even a ripple on the lake." Li's words were very interesting. Casually, he was simply telling Cassia something.

Although the facts stated made Cassia shocked and chilled.

"Then they are the last..."

Before he finished speaking, Li interrupted him: "Mr. Cassia!" He spoke carefully, and his voice became heavier at this time, "If you still have beautiful illusions about this seemingly prosperous empire, then I I advise you to destroy it and rebuild an empire of your own dreams. This may be much faster than searching for your fantasy in the empire."

Li's words stabbed Cassia's heart word by word, because he was the innocent and pure person who had been dreaming and never woke up.

"Of course they died in the end. According to the precise calculations of the family's scientists, under the premise of ensuring that every baby is normal, after they give birth to a maximum of nine to fifteen children, they will be eliminated due to the decline in various body functions. Dispose of it. The upbringing of babies is left to professionals, and education is brainwashed by the family from an early age. Some of the outstanding people will be specially trained by the family. As the strength of the family, they will be given corresponding status and power, because they are their own people. , they won’t owe anything. The other part adopts the free-range method, that is, they invest in institutions like military schools to make their knowledge structure and world concepts more in line with ordinary people." Li breathed out Said a lot.

"Why?" Cassia's voice became very cold.

"Because they know that it is difficult for family training to produce people who stand at the top. They will be elites, but it is difficult to see strong men like the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. Most of the highest military forces in the history of the empire came from these ordinary people. Come out. Family-style training will cause irreparable defects in a person's spirit. After all, it is brainwashing education. So they chose the method of training the two separately..."

Cassia was terrified. At this moment, he finally understood why Leigh said, "This is really not a funny thing." Except for himself, everyone who came to the military school knew the basics. Not only the members of the twenty-three grand ducal families, but also other earls, marquises,,,, and other nobles are following this approach to consolidate their own power status. And the same is true for big companies, but they not only follow this approach, but also purchase children from ready-made war orphans, or from some completely uncivilized places, to build their own power machines with their own labels.

The empire has long been deformed, and there are too many blood-sucking bugs lying on it.

Li looked at Cassia's changing eyes, said nothing, and waited for him for a while.

When Cassia looked at him again, she continued what she had left unfinished.

"And precisely because of the free-range cultivation, another behemoth of the empire was born at the same time." Lee said, "With strength, power, and money, what else do they lack?"

"We still need a controller to exercise power and continue the family's heirs." Cassia looked up at the sky full of gray fault clouds, exhaled, and then seemed to use up all his strength to speak the words in his mouth, which of course also related to Lee is synchronized at the same time.

"So, there was Saint Dorag Theological Seminary." The voice echoed and then disappeared into the air.
