Loli didn't know where she learned it from, but she actually managed to learn the Magic of transformation.
Of course, due to her lack of skill, Loli's tree body could at most emerge from the soil, with little else of practical use.
However, for Lin Ke, bringing Loli along now was much more convenient.
Lin Ke extended his hand, and Loli popped out from the soil, her body shrinking into Lin Ke's hand, resembling a piece of emerald stone.
"Brother, where's Little Lucky?"
Loli was curious: "Is he also in that secondary dimension?"
Little Lucky was also adept at transformation magic, often turning into a noisy parrot that would perch on Loli's tree body, chirping and chatting with her, becoming quite familiar.
"Yes, Little Lucky is also in there." Lin Ke smiled: "I'll take you to find him, you two can have fun in the secondary dimension."
Little Lucky had grown up with him since childhood, not just as a mount, nor just as a friend, but more like a little brother, just like John.
Moreover, Little Lucky's own innate talent was extraordinary; at birth, he had the shackles of heaven and earth, and even absorbed several Oves.
In the past few years, his advancement was more stable and rapid than any other follower of Lin Ke.
In fact, Lin Ke estimated that Little Lucky might be the first living being under his command to break through to legendary status in the future.
"Great, I've been wanting to go out and play for a long time." Upon hearing that Little Lucky was also in the secondary dimension, Loli was overjoyed.
The other Trees of Nature in the Great Wilderness Plane had already grown, and the power of purification didn't lack Loli.
The environment of the Giant Beast Plane was rather primitive, so taking Loli there to play wouldn't be a bad idea.
Lin Ke took Loli through the teleportation array and arrived at the Giant Beast Plane.
…
Since Lin Ke imparted Magic and then science, humans on the Giant Beast Plane had indeed changed.
Expansion and occupation became the norm.
That Green Worm Tribe now became a major tribe spanning dozens of kilometers, with countless smaller tribes like the former Green Worm Tribe being incorporated.
Simply because the giant beasts were no longer an obstacle for humans.
The Giant Beast Race had bodies much stronger than humans and had a mysterious domain blessing, always being the overlord wherever they were.
However, when the god imparted Magic, the Giant Beast Race was no longer the favored race of the plane.
No matter how huge the body, many ants can bite an elephant to death.
No matter how mysterious the domain, the flames of Magic could break through.
Therefore, wherever the Green Worm Tribe passed, many smaller tribes would bow their heads in submission.
The Chieftain of the Green Worm Tribe also became increasingly powerful and influential.
However, after gaining such stature, he wasn't just courageous and knew nothing but hunting.
Science was still distant for him, but mathematics inspired his intellect.
Lin Ke hadn't taught him the principles of management, but because of mathematics, he became adept at pondering.
Just like when solving problems, he would wonder why two completely different shapes had the same area.
When applied to management, he would also ponder.
Why sending fifty people to hunt is far more effective than sending fifty thousand directly?
With contemplation, he also took action.
How to take action?
He didn't know many practical methods, nor did he know how to find true knowledge.
But he would explore.
For example, in hunting.
Sending fifty thousand people out, theoretically more in number, but if you calculate using mathematical methods, you'd find out.
Fifty people can bring back prey feeding two hundred people.
Fifty thousand could only bring back prey for five thousand people.
No matter how you calculate, it doesn't make sense.
Thus, Chieftain Chen roughly understood why mathematics is just the cornerstone of science, a method, but not science itself.
Mathematics can present the reality of the world, but how to understand, analyze and use this reality depends on the individual.
Hence, Chieftain Chen knew his goal was not to pursue truth but to allow the tribe to be orderly, naturally leading to geniuses chasing after it.
Therefore, Chieftain Chen became increasingly passionate about the management of science, making the operation of the Green Leaf Tribe more efficient and effective.
He divided the day into four time periods: morning, noon, afternoon, and evening, and further segmented the time.
The sun rises at zero, the sun at its highest point is one, sunset is two, the moon rising is three, and the moon at its highest is four.
Each day, there were only these four time periods.
The tribe members would eat when the sun sets.
After dividing the time, everyone felt it very convenient.
Watching the sun and moon, everyone knew what they should be doing, whether waking up to hunt, returning to the tribe, or eating, they all had a sense.
But, the sun and moon weren't always visible.
Chieftain Chen pondered on methods to replace the celestial changes and finally came up with water droplet counting.
For months, Chieftain Chen had been pondering these subjects, and under his efforts, the Green Worm Tribe grew even more robust.
As it grew, it didn't become bloated but rather a lot more orderly than before.
Besides Chieftain Chen, many others whom Lin Ke had previously taught mathematics.
These individuals ultimately, like Chieftain Chen, focused elsewhere beyond mathematics.
Some indulged in plants, discovering the secret of different weights of plants from varied seed planting over several months, thus inventing "general equal weight objects," or "stone," to measure the weight of all other items.
While planting more plants, they enriched the Green Worm Tribe's food supply, enhancing quantity and variety.
Others indulged in animals, discovering how environment, food, and other factors could impact animal "output" and inventing methods of domestication.
There were also those absorbed in combat techniques, tirelessly researching and combining mathematics with military formations...
In essence, whether planting methods or domestication practice, they were original interests and hobbies, but with mathematics enlightening their intellect, they invented corresponding methods.
The ones Lin Ke accepted due to their arithmetic talents eventually made achievements in their fields of interest, thus giving back to the Green Worm Tribe.
Though in the end no one continued to explore mathematics, its most basic application benefited them.
In just a few months, the Green Worm Tribe underwent a complete transformation due to these individuals' contributions.
When Lin Ke recently returned to the Green Worm Tribe, he clearly sensed the changes in the tribe.
"Indeed, the enlightenment of civilization will occur even if I don't try to catalyze it."
Gazing at everything beneath the mountain, Lin Ke felt satisfied inside.
He gave them the seed of science and mathematics, and ultimately they used mathematics to enlighten civilization.
The current Green Worm Tribe already had a certain feeling of a primitive society.
Unlike before, it no longer seemed like a group of ape-men huddling together for warmth.
"But when will the writing system emerge?"
Lin Ke felt that watching the Green Worm Tribe's growth was greatly beneficial to him.
[A scientist] is not necessarily a physicist, at least not entirely.
[A scientist] can also be a civilization observer in the humanities and social sciences.
