Chapter 424: The 400th Degree of Civilization and Exposure Risks
Lingyuan Island.
when--
when--
when--
A big sun sank in the sky near the seaside, dyeing the boundless sea surface with a warm sunset yellow.
The melodious bells sounded the whirlwind of the late return, and countless white seagulls sometimes gathered in groups, sometimes dispersed into rain, and returned from the distant horizon one after another.
The thin mist rises from nowhere, looming in the afterglow of the setting sun, and constantly changing. Sometimes it is condensed like a long snake exhaling, sometimes it floats like a butterfly flying, lingering on the returning sea boat.
Mortals, monks, spiritual beasts or various animals,
At this moment, under a sea area not far from Lingyuan Island, Lin Chen and Zhang Hao were quietly hiding under the seabed, sensing the situation outside with their spiritual senses.
"Senior brother, what are we waiting for here? Why don't you follow them back to Lingyuan Island?"
At this time, Zhang Hao couldn't help but asked.
They had already controlled the two clones and puppets to come here a day ago.
Originally, he wanted to directly control the puppet to land on the island, but he did not expect to be stopped by Lin Chen. Instead, he was brought here and observed for a whole day.
"Of course, let's look at the level of civilization in the world of immortality in the East China Sea."
Lin Chen glanced at Zhang Hao, a little confused as to how this guy managed to get ahead. Without observing, he just rushed up in such a hurry, fearing that he would not give up.
"Civilization level? What is this?" Zhang Hao frowned upon hearing this, "Is Senior Brother afraid that we will be exposed?"
"You can rest assured about this. We have disguised ourselves and it is impossible for the other party to tell that something is wrong with us."
"Besides, I don't believe that there is no circulation of people in the East China Sea Cultivation World. If someone discovers something is wrong, we can just say that we came from other sea areas."
Lin Chen fell silent when he heard this. He didn't know how to reply for a while, and the air suddenly became quiet.
"Senior brother, what's wrong with you? Talk!"
The sudden silence made Zhang Hao feel an inexplicable embarrassment for a moment, and he said quickly.
Lin Chen glanced at him, thought about it carefully, and then said:
"You'd better stop asking. With your IQ and knowledge, it's hard for me to explain to you. If you think it's okay, just go ahead."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Hao's eyes widened suddenly and he wanted to say something, but in the end he endured it.
What does it mean to use my IQ and knowledge? What do you mean by this? ! (￣へ￣)
But he thought about it carefully and felt that he, Senior Brother Lin, never did anything meaningless, so after thinking about it again and again, he still felt that he was an adult and ignored the faults of villains, so he endured it.
Naturally, Lin Chen didn't know what he was thinking. Instead, he carefully observed every monk who came and went, their clothing, magical weapons, cultivation, behavior, etc., and finally let out a long breath:
'It seems that the world of immortality cultivation in the East China Sea is also a world of underworld cultivation, otherwise it will be in big trouble...'
The impression that the ancient monks gave Lin Chen made him very fearful. He was afraid that these monks outside would have 129,800 nano-level flying swords, psychic exoskeleton armor, and mechanical turret combined formations...
If there were such things, Lin Chen would never dare to go to the island, because it would not only be a gift, but would also expose his position.
Because these things not only reflect the high combat prowess of outside monks, but more importantly, reflect the level of civilization of the cultivating world behind them.
The level of civilization is closely related to whether they can safely sneak into the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea.
After all, the higher the level of civilization, the stronger the control over its population and control.
The exposure of foreign and unidentified personnel like him and Zhang Hao may be almost directly proportional to the level of civilization, so Lin Chen naturally had to find out.
This may be a little unclear, so let’s give a specific example.
If it were the barbaric era in ancient times, the level of civilization would undoubtedly be the lowest.
This civilization has almost zero control over its population. People may not even be able to recognize each other's faces. There is no specific information recorded, and it will not be clear if there is one more person or one less person.
And if we reach a farming society, there will be such a thing as "household registration" for all the people in the world, and the population can be controlled to a certain extent.
But since it is a written record, it can be hidden and tampered with, so even outsiders can remain undiscovered as long as they deliberately hide it.
If it is a civilization similar to the first two, it is just like the underworld of cultivating immortals. Except for a few exceptions, you will not notice whether there are outsiders in an area.
Therefore, Lin Chen could simply sneak into it, use the method of seducing souls to communicate with the ghosts to fabricate his identity, or even easily sneak into high places and establish a dark network to control the world.
But if the level of civilization is further improved, it will be different.
Just like in modern society, in addition to everyone's identity certificate, there is also related network information.
Perhaps the former can be forged, but the latter is extremely difficult, because the browsing history of more than 20 years, as well as your personality, hobbies, etc. reflected in it, must comply with certain common sense, otherwise it will be easily exposed.
To achieve this step, the manpower and material resources required are not ordinary.
If we talk about the previous two societies, Lin Chen can also change people's consciousness through the method of soul-stirring, causing psychological invisibility in an area, hiding his identity.
But in modern society, unless the terminal data is changed, it is impossible to fabricate an identity out of thin air.
If we go one step further and reach interstellar civilization, everyone may be implanted with a biochip before they are born.
It records your physical data from birth to growing up, as well as various records of information you come into contact with, the personality model analyzed from it, and so on.
By that time, unless he could completely control the terminal intelligence of an interstellar civilization, or deceive a civilization's database, Lin Chen would have no idea how to sneak in quietly and fabricate an identity to hide it.
Not to mention that the more advanced the civilization, the stronger the monitoring of the society under its rule.
Personnel supervision in farming society, Skynet monitoring in modern society, and even higher-level civilizations control all the particles of the planet they live in. Once an outsider touches them, they will feel it...
'Fortunately, the world of immortality cultivation in the East China Sea is not the latter two. Otherwise, I really don't know how I could safely sneak into a modern society of immortality cultivation...'
After observing that the other party was not much different from Lingnan, Lin Chen took a long breath.
But then, he seemed to think of something and frowned slightly:
'But if I remember correctly, the Nascent Soul Sword Cultivator seemed to have talked about the [Identity Panel]. Could this be a hidden danger? '
'But if the other party really has an identity panel and can conduct currency transactions, it means that it can carry out unlimited communication within the scope of heaven and earth. '
'And the development of civilization based on this should not be in its current form...'
'Is it possible that the development methods and manifestations of the civilization of cultivating immortals and science and technology are different? It depends on its utilization of energy...'
Lin Chen thought about it over and over, and for a moment, he was a little unsure.
But considering what he could observe now, he could confirm that the other party's level of civilization was almost the same as that of a farming society.
Even if there is something like an identity panel that exceeds expectations, the other party's surveillance intensity should not be as strong as that of Skynet or the like.
In other words, even if something went wrong, it would not be discovered immediately, and escape would not be impossible.
In this case, you might as well try it yourself!
"Walk!"
Thinking of this, Lin Chen decided to act without hesitation!
