Chapter 586 Communication Methods
Teresa noticed Tang Zijun's gaze, turned slightly, and pulled Heri's small body out of the way.
"My lord, although this request may be somewhat presumptuous, I still hope that you can allow Heri to stay here and become a part of Black City."
She wasn't unaware of Tang Zijun's thoughts. After all, before becoming a slave, Terella was a long-lived member of the Elf race, belonging to the same special and ancient race. While the Elf and Winged Race might not have a particularly close relationship, they at least respected each other greatly.
Terella knew about Heri's special status as a member of the Winged Race and understood how much influence her existence had on the human sects. She had seen and heard about Heri's journey from the north with the slave traders.
Unlike the wealthy who need to parade through the streets to attract attention, Heri's existence must be kept secret, because if she were to be reported to the Storm Church by someone, the slave traders would face annihilation.
Of course, the Church of Storms might not go to great lengths for a foreign race when humanity itself is in dire straits, but they dare not gamble. In fact, there were several times when the slave trader considered abandoning Heri in the wilderness.
If it weren't for the elves threatening their own lives, those slave traders probably would have just abandoned Heri in some desolate wilderness.
Knowing this, Teresa was well aware of Tang Zijun's current thoughts: leaving Heri in Black City was definitely not a good choice, especially given the current situation.
What churches need most right now is to develop more believers, and if a nearby Storm Church could get a Feather Clan member to support it, it would definitely attract a large number of new members.
Some might wonder, since the Feathered Clan is so important to the Storm Church, why didn't the slave traders just send Heri to any random Storm Church? They might have been able to gain some benefits.
The answer is simple: if they actually did that, the only benefit they would gain would be a painless death. The church doesn't reason with slave traders.
Upon hearing Teresa's words, Tang Zijun's face flashed with surprise, then she smiled and asked, "You should understand Heri's special status, so I'd like to ask why you want to keep her here."
"Heri is not special..." Terella opened her mouth, then changed her words. "Heri's specialness lies in being human, bestowed upon her by the Church of Storms. She is merely a child of the Feathered Race, and should not be a tool in the hands of the human church."
"My lord, I understand you have your difficulties, but I can assure you that we will absolutely not let anyone know of Heri's existence, nor will we be targeted by the Church of Storms. Please let her stay."
"Terera, you need to understand," Tang Zijun said calmly. "The truth will eventually come out; you can't protect her forever."
Teresa was taken aback.
Heri, standing next to her, also hugged her leg tightly, her small face filled with tension.
Tang Zijun shook her head slightly, then continued, "Besides, you don't want anyone to know about her existence. Is that really a good thing for her? The Feather Clan should be eagles in the storm, but this kind of upbringing will only turn her into a hothouse flower."
The elves who participated in building the greenhouse instantly understood what the flowers in the greenhouse meant.
"But sir..."
Seeing Teresa speak, Tang Zijun knew what she wanted to say, so she raised her hand to interrupt her and said softly, "I understand. I was just telling you the drawbacks of doing this, not that I didn't want Heri to stay."
If the elves and the little winged tribe were a little nervous just now, they suddenly felt a sense of relief and hope after hearing Tang Zijun's unexpected words.
"My lord, you...you've agreed?" Teresa asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Hmm." Tang Zijun smiled at Heli, then looked up at Teresa. "But we can't just let her stay here doing nothing. As a citizen of Black City, she has to participate in labor."
"Hri is still young. She doesn't eat much and won't take up too many resources. We don't even need to contribute food. A small portion from each of us in the tribe is enough for her..."
Seeing that Teresa was a little anxious, Tang Zijun knew that she had misunderstood again. "Don't worry, employing child labor is illegal where we live, and I don't need her to do anything dangerous."
As she spoke, Tang Zijun gestured towards Qin Nan's direction with her chin. "This lady's name is Qin Nan, and the silly bird on her shoulder is called Little Gray. I want to establish a relatively complete communication and intelligence system. I've heard that the Feathered Clan has the ability to communicate with birds. I wonder if they could help me?"
"Communication intelligence system?" Terella repeated the question, then silently lowered her head and looked at Heri.
He Li looked at Tang Zijun with a charming gaze, then glanced at Qin Nan, who raised an eyebrow at her before turning her gaze back to Tang Zijun.
After a while, she finally uttered her first words: "...Now, no birds can communicate with me anymore."
"I'll figure out a way to solve this problem," Tang Zijun blinked.
Actually, this idea wasn't something Tang Zijun came up with on a whim. He had started conceiving it after reading the advice given by the expert team, but after seeing Heli, he just wanted to give it a try.
Although the dream world is underdeveloped, it is not without means of communication. However, due to the influence of the war of the gods, creatures such as carrier pigeons and message eagles have difficulty surviving in the current environment.
As Heri said, there are now virtually no birds that can communicate with her anymore, as the natural creatures have been driven to the brink of extinction by the devastating winds.
This can be seen from the fact that chickens, ducks, geese, and the like die as soon as they are brought over.
The expert team's initial suggestion was very much in the style of the University of Tokyo—they wanted to use Katie's train to transport various special parts over in batches, then find a suitable place, arrange for some professionals to assemble the parts into a launch silo, and directly send a satellite into space, which would make establishing communication facilities much simpler.
However, this idea was quickly rejected by others within the expert team. After all, the dream world is a very special place, and no one knows what it looks like outside that planet. Launching a satellite rashly would be extremely dangerous.
Furthermore, according to the actual information provided by Tang Zijun, things often fall from the sky in this world, and no one is sure what the situation is like in the sky. If a god were to be bombarded down, that would be a huge mess.
Later, the expert team tried to build a radio station. This device did not need satellites; it only needed to transmit and receive signals, which could achieve long-distance communication.
However, when they actually tried to do it, they discovered that the air in the dream world seemed to contain some energy reactions that could affect radio waves. To avoid this interference, the power required would be enormous. It would probably take building a wonder in Black City to achieve that.
Ultimately, the Bureau of Demon Control came up with a relatively reasonable solution: to breed pigeons that were unaffected by harsh environments to transmit information.
This would have been extremely difficult in the past, but things are different now. In their research on the technology of dark crystals and emerald crystals, the researchers at the Bureau of Demonic Supervision quickly discovered that the energy within emerald crystals can greatly enhance biological information, improve various immune functions in the human body, and even cure some diseases.
While it's not yet possible to fully utilize them for medical purposes, it's still possible to help breed some homing pigeons, which will be the only means of communication before a high-powered signal transmission base is established in Black City.
However, this thing is quite troublesome to put into practice. Originally, Tang Zijun planned to hand it over to Qin Nan to handle, mainly to Xiao Hui, but now that there is a better option, Tang Zijun naturally will not let it go.
