Struggle in the Steam Age

Regarding the choice of angels in the Kingdom of God, the little doll still has a different and cute style. In her opinion, these angels, which look like large single-celled creatures, at least give people a sense of warmth.

Besides, although these angels are round, they have no organs except wings and eyes and mouths floating on the spheres. But as long as it is needed, the body can conjure organs similar to hands or feet at any time.

"This kind of thing can actually reflect my priesthood." Nora said while rubbing the angel in her hand.

"Whatever organ you need, it can grow any organ, and it will retract when not in use. Isn't this enough to reflect the core of the natural evolution of use or waste?"

"You're right." After hearing Nora's explanation, Lawrence suddenly felt that the angels in front of him, who looked like transparent water polo with wings, looked much more pleasing to the eye.

I have to say that although these angels look a little weird, they are absolutely quick when they work. That's why the prototype of the entire kingdom of God can be built in such a short period of time.

"I have a little problem." Looking at the small town below, Lawrence asked puzzledly, "I have calculated the population death rate of this generation before, and it is about 1%."

"And just now I looked at the number of your believers, and a simple calculation shows that there are about 10,000 believers who are eligible to enter your kingdom of God after death every year."

"That's right, that's it. And your estimate is a little conservative." Nora nodded and said, "Do you think there is a serious problem here?"

"The area of ​​this space is only that big." Lawrence said, looking at the kingdom of God that could see the edge at a glance in the sky. "I'm worried that God will gradually be unable to accommodate so many petitioners."

"Haha, my dear brother and lord, you are imitating things mechanically and imposing things in the world of ordinary people on the kingdom of God." After hearing what Lawrence said, Nora not only showed no nervous expression, but laughed out loud .

"That's right, you've been making all kinds of designs in a hurry since you came here, so you don't even have time to take a closer look at the things you designed. Now we'll know when we go to see it at home."

After finishing speaking, Nora took Lawrence and flew down from the temple. On the way, she began to explain to Lawrence what kind of secrets there were.

"Actually, the question you are considering is a very valuable question, but it is also a very biased question. Because under normal circumstances, an existence like me who has just ignited the fire will not encounter this type of problem——"

According to Nora, under normal circumstances, only a few thousand to ten thousand ordinary believers are enough to ignite the divine fire. Under such circumstances, the number of believers who die every year will naturally not be too many.

And as the godhead level of these prepared gods gradually rises, their divine kingdom will also become larger and larger, so a dynamic balance will naturally be formed between the number of petitioners and the required space, and there will be no petitions The problem of tight space.

But after these preliminary gods exalt the Kingdom of God to become real gods, the speed of the expansion of the Kingdom of God will naturally slow down or even stagnate.

But on the other hand, as the reputation of the gods and the spread of the church continued to expand, the number of dead believers of the gods naturally increased.

Although it is said that all the petitioners, except for one who can become the Holy Spirit, will enjoy a long and happy life in the Kingdom of God and then gradually merge with the Kingdom of God, which will reduce the number of petitioners in the Kingdom of God.

But considering that the time for the petitioner to maintain an independent self will be about 150 years, and it is basically impossible to die midway. Therefore, for a long period of time, the number of patients in China will only increase but not decrease.

Faced with this situation, the gods naturally developed corresponding means. The most direct one is to regularly reduce the number of petitioners in the Kingdom of God.

For example, the Kingdom of God of War is a huge battlefield, and those petitioners are in war all the time after they enter. After being repeatedly killed and resurrected, the time for the petitioner to maintain himself is also greatly shortened.

In addition, the existence of some evil camps solves this problem more simply and rudely. They will actively devour some petitioners regularly to achieve the important purpose of solving the contradiction between man and earth.

However, these practices are not very feasible for most neutral or good-aligned gods. On the one hand, although petitioners can provide very little faith, they can get a part of the income by collecting them.

Especially for some gods with relatively partial clergy, it is impossible to give up this income.

On the other hand, while the priesthood endows the gods with certain powers, it also restricts many practices of the gods. So unless it is an evil god or has the priesthood of war, torture or death. Otherwise, taking the initiative to reduce the behavior of your own petitioners will leave serious troubles.

Faced with this situation, the gods naturally thought of a solution. That is to accommodate more petitioners through a series of ingenious constructions when the absolute size of the Kingdom of God cannot be expanded on a large scale.

"The key to solving this problem lies in the nature of the petitioners. Because they are in the state of souls, their volume can be compressed. Therefore, we can directly reduce everything in proportion."

Nora floated beside Lawrence and said to him. "You know, in my kingdom of God, many things can be controlled by me. Compared with adjusting the background of the whole world, it is obviously much less difficult to simply shrink people or things."

"But now my body directly enters this plane, so why can I also become smaller?" Lawrence looked around and looked a little puzzled.

After falling from the temple in the clouds just now, he and Nora landed directly on the roof of a core building. Looking at the parapet that looked like a tall cliff in front of him, Lawrence immediately knew that he had also shrunk.

"Of course you, as my agent, can also shrink. It's very simple for me." Nora smiled, and then guided him to the door of an elevator.

"Of course, if it wasn't for the knowledge about this aspect in the gift given to me by the Gods of Wisdom, it may take a lot of time for me to explore it myself."

The elevator that Lawrence and the others took looked very similar to the elevator in the previous life, except that there were no buttons. Rather, it is controlled purely through the voice and will of the manipulator.

Under Nora's order, the elevator moved quickly, and within a few seconds, the two of them were sent to the Microbial Cultivation and Research Center on a certain floor in the middle of the building.

For Nora, the cultivation of new varieties of microorganisms is a job that can take care of her two priesthoods of natural evolution and microorganisms at the same time. Therefore, this divine kingdom has just been established, and this training place has become the first batch of facilities he built.

"I must say that fortunately these petitioners don't need any life support system. So I just need to build these functional facilities and they can run directly."

"Don't you need any life support system?" Lawrence frowned. "If that's the case, then why do we need to build various facilities."

"Yes, it is true that the petitioners will not be hungry or thirsty. Besides, they will not be affected by cold and heat, nor will they get sick." The little puppet said sternly with its hands behind its back. "But they still have their egos, and their human habits."

"To give you the simplest example, they usually still maintain the habit of eating and drinking when they were alive." After the door opened, Nora pointed to the group of petitioners who were eating.

"But physically they don't actually need to eat, they just have psychological needs."
