Building a Favorable Environment

And at this time...

As soon as the host finished speaking, many people walked towards Gao Linzhi.

Because they discovered that, after all the discussions, what was truly important to them was not those theories or the path to Immortality.

The things Gao Linzhi just proposed—that the Longevity Being should not kill each other, and that a platform and dialogue mechanism should be established to resolve conflicts—are very attractive to them.

After all, for many people, the thing they have always worried about is their safety.

The Skyfall Game is too cruel.

From the moment the individual first landed, he faced pursuit by the company.

Fortunately Gao Linzhi's rise, coupled with the bizarre reverse invasion of reality, gave the scattered people a chance to breathe.

Most of the people who were willing to attend the invitation from the Longevity Society were actually independent individuals.

To some extent, they were more willing to believe Gao Linzhi.

Because of their own experiences, they naturally Longevity Society.

It's safe to say that if the gathering hadn't been held in Safe Zone, but rather on Wolf Snake Island, probably very few people would have dared to come.

Who wouldn't worry that this is a trap?

The reputation of Wolf Snake Island guarantees that fishing is impossible here.

Because under Gao Linzhi's management, this is a completely free trading zone.

Then a few more people walked over.

They said to Gao Linzhi, "What you just said about establishing a mechanism for negotiation among Longevity Being to prevent them from killing each other is a very good idea."

"Yes, we hope to work with you to turn this idea into concrete, actionable measures."

"That's right, we can't go on like this. Living in constant fear and using a double and a mask every day, there's no way we can Immortality this way."

"That's right, living in constant fear—those four words foretell a short life."

No one can live long in fear.

"Yes, our ancestors were a group of people who hid in burrows, living in constant fear under the threat of dinosaurs. This led to various diseases and aging, causing us to lose the evergreen genes like birds."

"Yes, this consensus should be promoted."

"Only when the security issue is resolved can we focus on research and development with peace of mind."

"That's right, just like the development of natural sciences, it is also based on the premise that the personal safety and freedom of those scientists are guaranteed."

"In those feudal dynasties, where an emperor could easily order the confiscation of your property and the extermination of your entire clan, there was no possibility of scientific and technological development."

"Because you've just started to develop, you might offend certain people, or have your entire family wiped out because of your pursuit of facts and the truth—like a typical Literary Inquisition!"

"This will only lead to going in circles, and the development of science is actually very fragile. If a break occurs in a certain area, it may take hundreds of years for anyone to think of the same thing again."

Gao Linzhi strongly agreed.

Sure enough, others could think of the same thing.

That's the truth.

Scientific progress is not achieved overnight.

It is precisely because of this that we have been able to pass on knowledge in an orderly manner and have been able to conduct our research with peace of mind.

And these people's concerns are actually quite valid.

Without a change in environment, you can forget about producing real fruit.

Just as scientific research and industrialization cannot be achieved without improving the overall environment.

Gao Linzhi was a time traveler, and he was well aware of this fact.

Therefore, in order to achieve Immortality, it is essential to first establish a safe environment.

After all, his current conservative lifespan is already several hundred years.

To realize the path to Immortality, one must first address the broader environmental factors.

So he addressed the crowd, saying, "What you all said is very good."

"We need to first address the broader environment before we can achieve true Immortality."

"A place of deceit and treachery, where life and death are fought daily, cannot possibly give rise to the true path to Immortality."

"If we think carefully about the birthplace of natural science, it is surrounded by the sea."

"If you feel oppressed, you can escape to the sea."

"Furthermore, their navigation technology is quite advanced, and they are located at the crossroads of three continents."

"It makes it easy to acquire cultural knowledge from other places, and if there is any danger in the local area, one can quickly flee to other places, thus preserving the culture."

"Therefore, we also need to establish such mechanisms and environments."

Upon hearing this, everyone agreed.

"That's right, if we can't do it ourselves, can't we learn how?"

"That's right. We should also emulate the environment of scientific development and create a place where people can leave at any time."

Gao Linzhi nodded.

He agrees with that.

If a place only allows joining, but not leaving.

Needless to say, it's a scam and a crooked scheme.

However, at this point, some people raised objections:

"But if that's the case, what if someone invents a way to achieve Immortality but doesn't want to share it with us? They can leave at any time, leaving us completely helpless."

"I think we should bring everyone under control and concentrate our efforts; that would be more effective."

Upon hearing the word "control," Gao Linzhi felt a surge of annoyance.

This kind of thinking will never lead to true Immortality.

Because top geniuses don't want their thoughts to be controlled by others.

A place where ideas are manipulated cannot give birth to true science.

The most obvious question is, who would believe that science could have originated within the confines of a feudal royal palace?

Impossible. The people there would fabricate lies every day, packaging various phenomena as auspicious omens, and reporting them to Noble Personage.

However, reality is often filled with regrets and natural disasters.

"Control, control, you can control someone else's body, but can you control someone else's thoughts?"

"Moreover, the birth of any technology is the result of a long period of accumulation and prerequisites. No genius idea comes out suddenly; it has a lot of prior technology behind it. Therefore, even if a genius invents a way to Immortality and wants to enjoy it alone, we can still know his prior technology and thus be able to figure out something similar ourselves."

Yes, that's it.

Gao Linzhi in agreement.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

That's correct.

Some people say that "Newton discovered universal gravitation after being hit by an apple," but they have no idea that before that, there had already been a great deal of scientific accumulation.

Some people have also derived many preliminary theories through astronomical observations, and only the final step is needed.

Newton's strength lies in solving this problem decades ahead of time.

The group then began to ponder how to create a similar environment.

After much deliberation, the group decided to create a truly safe haven around Wolf Snake Island.

First and foremost, this place requires the ability to leave at will.

There will also be various ways to ensure everyone can speak freely.
