Chapter 429 429. Archimonde: Can we play without banning the elves?!
"I thought I'd hear what the bad news is first."

William has the traditional stereotype of the [Lemangeni Empire] that others have: unsmiling, serious, and rigorous.

Of course, Mo Hao tried his best to describe it with relatively neutral or even positive words. In fact, among many countries, the evaluation of the [Lemangni Empire] is mostly derogatory.

"The bad news is that although I brought you and the entire empire's population here, this place does not have enough resources to form your bodies."

He pointed to the group of consciousness near the Well of Eternity and said, "The group over there is your consciousness. Because you have no body, you are all asleep at this moment."

It is difficult to even call these conscious entities "souls". Without a body to provide energy, they even have difficulty waking up on their own and can only reduce their energy consumption by sleeping.

"So what's the good news?"

"The good news is that we have transferred all the people here, and we have a way to provide them with bodies." Dr. Agumon came to the side at some point and explained before Mo Hao, "Well, if you can accept the body structure of a bionic man."

As he spoke, Dr. Agumon took out the plan and handed it to Mo Hao and William respectively, but neither of them opened it to read.

After spending quite some time with Dr. Agumon, I realized that his level of knowledge was not on the same level as mine. Instead of reading things that seemed like a mystery, it would be better to wait for Dr. Agumon to explain it himself.

"The Heavenly Book World cannot accommodate the entire population of the empire."

As soon as Dr. Agumon opened his mouth, he stated the biggest shortcoming. Even though the Heavenly Book World is now the size of a city, the entire area is still far from enough for the entire population of the empire.

Unless industrialization is stopped, the entire city is transformed into a residential city, and high-rise buildings are built on a large scale.

But this kind of thing is obviously impossible. Mo Hao can't really use this place as his paradise.

"And if you don't want these people to turn into some other strange race, my personal suggestion is to convert their consciousness into code and load it into a computer."

"Consciousness has no body as a barrier, so it is very easy to be disturbed. There are skeletons, demons, minotaurs, and young dragons here, not to mention the Well of Eternity. If they stay here for too long, a new species will probably appear."

"My opinion is to upload the consciousness to the computer and then transfer it to the android. This way, both the labor force and the intellectuals will have a place to go."

Dr. Agumon's proposal was somewhat selfish. With the current expansion of the Heavenly Book World, he no longer had enough engineers and researchers under him.

Seeing that Mo Hao had no plans to relocate a large number of people in the short term, Dr. Agumon had to turn his attention to the people who migrated from the Empire.

Although the technology in that world is only at the level of World War I, it is not impossible to do the job if we select suitable personnel and train them.

As he spoke, Dr. Agumon spread his hands and said, "If you put the consciousness into the skeleton soldiers, their fragile consciousness will be damaged in a short time, and then they will be assimilated into real undead. Or you have the ability to strengthen their consciousness without side effects, so that they can survive as ghosts."

Mo Hao needs to have the ability to strengthen the consciousness of an entire empire into ghosts. The difference between the titles of King Yama and Ksitigarbha is only which one he likes.

After listening to the whole story, William didn't say anything, but waited silently for Mo Hao's decision.

As a professional soldier, he was better at following orders than matters like people's livelihood and governance.

Mo Hao thought about it. Although there was no production line for bionic bodies in the Heavenly Book World, he had a channel to the cyber world. He only needed to place a long-term order.

Of course, before using it, Dr. Agumon needs to check it to make sure there are no backdoors or eavesdropping devices installed. After all, the words "big capitalist company" and "conscience" basically cannot appear at the same time.

Then there is only one question left. "Is uploading a consciousness dangerous?"

Although I know that since Professor Agumon can come up with this plan, there won't be any problems in this regard, it's still better to ask out of caution.

"I learned a thing from Professor Wizardmon at the Digital University. The technology for converting human consciousness into code is quite mature."

Dr. Agumon sighed and said with some regret, "It's a pity that there are no seeds or fragments of the World Tree. If we had that thing, we could build a small digital world, and then humans could directly transform themselves into data and enter without spending so much effort."

Hearing this, Mo Hao just rolled his eyes and pretended not to hear it.

The World Tree, Yggdrasil, is the main computer that manages the Digital World. It is also known as the God of the Digital World and the object of loyalty of the Royal Knights.

Although he had a dark history of being beaten by Daimon and being chopped down by Omegamon, this Royal Knight was awarded the title of "Tree-Chopping Master".

But not everyone can get close to that thing, let alone get the seeds or fragments. If you do that, the first thing you will have to face is the Royal Knights composed of thirteen Ultimate Forms.

If such a thing really existed, the amount of data it carried alone would be enough for Professor Agumon to perform the Ultimate Evolution.

After the plan was finalized, Dr. Agumon was fully responsible for uploading the consciousness, while Mo Hao took the time to go to the Cyberworld to place the order.

After watching Dr. Agumon and William leave, Mo Hao did not go directly to the Cyber ​​World, but found an open space far away to collect the milestone reward.

[Milestone - Templar Knights: Kill a team of assassins independently.]

[Get reward: randomly summon a team. ]

As a clear light appeared in front of him, Mo Hao quickly saw what kind of soldiers were summoned in front of him.

It was a group of light balls, emitting a cool glow.

[Name: Elf——From: Warcraft 3]

【quantity: 12】

[Faction: Night Elves]

[Elves are ancient souls living in the forests of Kalimdor. Legend has it that they are actually the souls of dead night elves. The elves live in harmony with the night elves and serve the ancient trees. They feel a familiar power and are called. 】

"It's actually an elf..."

The elves of the night elves are very famous. When Archimonde was about to succeed in absorbing the power of the world tree Nordrassil, he was defeated by a group of elves who had almost no fighting ability.

Thousands of elves exploded together, almost turning the World Tree into ashes, and taking Archimonde with it.

Even though Archimonde was resurrected in the Twisting Nether, the shame of being killed by the elves will still accompany him for the rest of his life.
