Chapter 474 No One Will Stop

Everyone is developing, and no one will stop.

In order not to wake up Hetty who was sleeping peacefully, Gawain got up and left the desk lightly. He first put a dress on Hetty, then came to the large French window of the study, and looked at the city outside—— In the sinking sunset, Cecil was still busy and full of life.

This is a fast-growing city, and with the end of the integration war, the development of the entire southern border will also become faster.

But while Cecil is developing, others are also developing. On this road of progress, no one will stop and wait for the footsteps of the latecomers.

The development of Typhon is unexpectedly rapid, but Gawain believes that it is not only Typhon that is developing. Even Ansu, which looks outdated and backward, and the church that looks stubborn and conservative, must have its own development process, especially In the event of a war, their development will only accelerate.

But Gawain is not very worried about the development of Ansu and the church, because he knows that these forces are still trapped in their own backward systems, and their development speed has an upper limit. Unless they encounter earth-shaking changes, their speed of advancement will never be Being behind Cecil is nothing to worry about.

It is worth worrying that Typhon - Rosetta Augustus is a more dangerous opponent than Gawain expected.

He started by changing the system, and has already had initial success.

His Majesty the Emperor spent more than ten years gradually reforming the imperial aristocracy, concentrating his authority, and turning Typhon into a more efficient execution machine. Efficiency improved unprecedentedly, so he quickly entered the next stage: advancing education, liberating the shackles of land, and redistributing production resources.

It is very likely that he has realized the existence and significance of "productive forces and production relations", at least found some ways, and is trying to move towards deeper reforms, and as long as his control over the empire is not weakened, these reforms are inevitable will go further in the next few years.

To achieve such a great achievement, it is impossible for Emperor Rosetta alone - in order to make such a huge and ancient empire run, Emperor Rosetta must have a large group of think tanks and assistants around him, perhaps aristocratic elites from the young and strong faction. , perhaps an enlightened and prestigious old-fashioned aristocratic platform. All in all, Typhon is definitely not only a talented emperor, but also a group of important ministers with both wisdom and skill.

At the same time, Typhon also has excellent technical talents.

Gawain has Carmel, Pittman, Rebecca and Jenny. They are all excellent technical talents, but there are so many talents in the world that it is impossible for all talents to be concentrated in Cecil. Three points - don't other people have technical experts?

there must be,

The only difference is whether they get a chance to shine.

Typhon's chief alchemist discovered the process of acid hydrolysis of burning stone, but does Typhon have only one chief alchemist? Don't they have rune experts? No agency teacher? No magician? What kind of new things will these people...

Gawain can be sure that there are people in the world who are more gifted in mathematics than Rebecca, more gifted in runes than Jenny, and more gifted in theology and natural history than Pittman. According to the distribution law of extraordinary people in this era, these People must be gathered at the top of each country, and they can achieve amazing academic achievements at any time - but the impact of their achievements will vary depending on the country in which they live.

In some places, a new magical technology may just add a new entertainment item to the nobles, while in other places, an alchemy achievement may be promoted as a huge boost to national food production.

Typhon's technicians clearly caught up with the good times and caught up with the good emperor.

Cecil's only advantage is that Gawain can be more tolerant and forward-looking than Rosetta, and has a clearer understanding of the next development law of society, so that the dividends brought by technology research and development can be more efficiently used.

Gawain carefully analyzed the information obtained from Daniel, and in the process speculated about Typhon's forward speed and Rosetta the Great's next move-in the process, he even produced "Rosetta August". Stuart is not also a surnamed Chuan" horror idea, but after some analysis, he found that there should be no doubts about Typhon's development.

First of all, Rosetta Augustus's road to change was not achieved overnight. He spent the first half of his life for decades to sit on the throne and stabilize his regime, win over progressive aristocrats little by little, divide opponents, and gradually change the Typhon aristocracy system , which is a normal and long accumulation process.

Secondly, Typhon's social change was not smooth. Rosetta Augustus had many obvious characteristics of inexperience in the process of implementing the New Deal. Some inexperience can even be described as "mistakes":

He left behind a lot of hidden dangers based on the power of the old nobles. For this reason, he had to make more compromises to maintain the stability of Typhon;

In the process of promoting literacy education, he had wasted a lot of energy because he did not find good incentives, and he did not establish a sound education system. Until now, the enthusiasm of Typhon civilians to receive education cannot be compared with that of Cecilians. ;

The degree of liberation of Typhon's labor force obviously lags behind that of Cecil, and they still maintain the situation of "working in the workshop after farming". There are no real professional chemical workers, and there is no systematic vocational education and training. management system;

Typhon's "burning acid chemical workshop" is still based on the old-fashioned "alchemy workshop" system, which has many problems such as small production scale, low efficiency, inconsistent systems, inconsistent standards, and disorderly management. Situ tried to build a large-scale production facility for the acidification of burning rock, but it was just an enlarged workshop, with a serious waste of manpower and material resources...

Gawain took a deep breath, he knew that Typhon's development was the "normal situation".

Exploring, hitting a wall, improving, groping again, hitting a wall, and improving again, countless people pay a huge cost of time and manpower and material resources (sometimes even consume a generation of youth) to nibble on a field, and in the end their only gain is very It may just prove that "this road is not available", Typhon is doing such a thing now, and this is normal.

A large part of the reason why Cecil has developed so rapidly is that Gawain directly used his own judgment and experience to avoid these "no way" in advance. He used his previous life knowledge and observation experience as a satellite master to plan the southern border. Therefore, it saves a huge amount of time, manpower and material costs.

At least at this stage, this is Cecil's huge advantage over Typhon, but from another point of view, Typhon also has his own advantage, and this advantage is something Cecil cannot make up for for the time being:

Typhon is a huge country. Its land area, resource reserves, and population are several times that of the Principality of Cecil!

This means that it can withstand the loss of resources in the development process, can have ample opportunities for trial and error, and more importantly - it can multiply those development dividends!

Even if its forward efficiency is lower than that of Cecil, it can use its own size to crush Anzu and Cecil in a short time.

So what should Cecil do, what can be done...

Gawain turned his head and looked at the stack of documents on the desk.

That is the next stage of the construction and development plan of the four new industrial belts in the southern border.

At this stage, there are not many things that Gao Wen can do in the southern border. Development is the last word. Only by immersing himself in development and maximizing Cecil's advantage in "efficiency" can he maintain the current good situation.

And this development process must be smooth and controllable.

His territory has been over-inflated in the past year, and now he has no energy to expand again - unless he wants to return the Duchy of Cecil to the loose and disordered vassal lordship system of the past, otherwise he can do it in the territory. The only thing is to digest and absorb and focus on the technology tree to build infrastructure.

Outside of Ansu, he couldn't cause any direct damage to Typhon, and all he could do was dig a hole.

The huge imperial machine controlled by Rosetta Augustus is already in operation, and it is impossible to stop it, so it is better to just push it and let it go toward a seemingly brilliant, but in fact, abyss. forward in the direction of...

Gawain had to do it—for Cecil's survival, Typhon had to be harmless.

But he still has to find a way to retain Typhon's development potential in the process...because the future Typhon is likely to be a force to resist the magic tide.

What Gawain is most grateful for now is that the information on the magic net that he deliberately released has entered the sight of Rosetta Augustus and his think tank in time. With this opportunity, he can infiltrate his influence into Typhon.

But is Daniel's "Magic Web Technology" enough to bury enough poison in the body of the giant Typhon?

Gawain thinks that it is not enough - although the magic net is of great significance, Rosetta Augustus will definitely treat this technology from Anzu with caution, and he is very likely to limit the application of the magic net, and even if the "magic net" The "Internet Poisoning" plan was successful, and the damage to Typhon was not big enough. At most, it would waste a lot of manpower and material resources in the process. As a huge empire, Typhon could afford to lose it.

Some bolder and more adventurous ideas were brewing in Gawain's mind, and his face became cloudy.

Hetty finally woke up from her sleep, she sat up suddenly, and saw that Gawain had already left "meditation" and was standing not far away, while she was wearing a coat, so she was suddenly nervous and embarrassed : "Ancestor...I...I didn't fall asleep on purpose..."

Seeing Hetty wake up, the expression on Gawain's face quickly returned to gentleness, he smiled lightly, and took the coat that Hetty handed over: "It doesn't matter, it will be good to sleep for a while, you are indeed too tired recently. ."

"Actually, it's been fine recently. After the production and construction plans were laid out, things didn't matter so much," Hetty explained, still with a blushing face, bowing her head, "It's just that the Government Affairs Office has recently been testing the newly installed magic web file transmission system. , encountered a lot of unexpected problems, a little ... tricky."

"It is normal to encounter problems when new technologies are applied," Gao Wen nodded. "Compared to this, the development and output of various industrial zones in the recent period, as well as the willingness of private businessmen to invest in factories, transform Do you have any information on the attitude of the nobles towards the factory, as well as the operation of the Production Coordination Committee and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security?"

"Yes, I have been sorting it out every day," Hetty nodded, then a little curious, "Do you need it?"

"Need, but don't be in a hurry, just put together a comprehensive report for me in the next few days."

"I understand."

Gawain nodded slightly, and then said softly as if talking to himself: "My own strength is the last word..."

...

Typhon, the imperial capital Aldenan, in the drawing room of the Obsidian Palace.

Archduke Ferdinand looked at Emperor Rosetta Augustus sitting on the opposite seat, feeling a little complicated in his heart.

The war between Typhon and Ansu was finally postponed, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it had nothing to do with peace.

Ansu fell into a catastrophic civil war almost immediately after the peace agreement was signed, while the Typhon Empire closed its borders and began to watch on the sidelines, and Emperor Rosetta began to rectify the various forces in the country, met frequently with various nobles, and continued to advance his career. The reform of the army... All of these, piece by piece, were watched by Ferdinand Wendell.

He knew that His Majesty, the talented and shrewd emperor, never gave up the fat meat of Ansu, and the temporary truce was just to make the fat meat more tender, delicious and easy to swallow.

He was delighted that Rosetta Augustus succeeded in getting rid of hereditary madness, and that the empire had such an emperor who coexisted with wisdom and strength, but he also regretted the demise of the golden spirit of the nobles, and that he relied on cunning conspiracies. It is a pity for the new type of war to advance.

There is no doubt that Emperor Rosetta had a part in the civil war in Anzu.

But Ferdinand Wendell also knew very well that this disgraceful means was necessary - for the sake of the empire, the Anzu had to make sacrifices.

And the Ansu people not only have to make sacrifices, they also have to become the nourishment for the growth of the empire.

A middle-aged woman in a magician's robe stood respectfully beside Emperor Typhon, pointed at the drawings spread on the table and explained: "This is the so-called 'Magic Web', but it is the first generation , which is outdated. The second-generation magic net is more streamlined, but the drawings we obtained are incomplete, and we have not found a specific processing method."

Archduke Pedinan looked at the blueprint in front of Emperor Typhon—he could see intricate runes and lines of magic drawn on it. Although all the runes were elementary, the entire array had a strange harmony. I feel that although he is not a mage himself, with his fairly good knowledge of magic, he can also judge that this magic circle has been optimized very well.

This is the key to the rapid rise of the ancient Cecil family of Ansu, and the "lost technology" brought by the ancient hero who came back to life.

Rosetta Augustus's voice came from across the table: "Sir Pedinand, I heard that the second-generation magic net is composed of 'units'."

"Yes, Your Majesty," replied Duke Ferdinand, "Andersa caught some Ansu mercenaries who had fled, and those mercenaries had seen the second-generation Leyline. It is said that the Leyline cells were hexagonal talismans. The text array requires extremely high processing precision, and the number is huge, not like a blacksmith and a rune craftsman knocking out one by one..."

Speaking of this, the duke couldn't help frowning and sighing: "It's a pity that we don't have the blueprint... and we didn't get the real thing."

Another royal minister in the living room said, "The southern border of Ansu has been blocked, and the Cecil family is strictly ruling there. It is not easy to find out information, but this is temporary - Sisi The Er family did not completely block the spread of the magic net. It is said that local nobles in the Holy Spirit Plain and a small part of the Ansu eastern border have obtained privately circulated magic net drawings. As long as there is enough patience and price, those Ansu nobles are It's easy to buy."

Emperor Rosetta glanced at the minister indifferently: "Qing Ge Lin, even if you get the blueprints and real objects, do you dare to use them directly?"

The royal minister named Goering froze for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"According to what we know, before the war broke out in the southern border of Ansu, the Cecil family took the initiative to spread the magic net on a large scale, and then what? Then those stupid Ansu nobles spread the magic net everywhere, So that the Cecil family's army has a sufficient supply of magic power no matter where it hits - this lesson is quite profound."

The Ansu southern border war ended quickly, and the entire southern border was quickly blocked after the war, but there was no airtight wall under the sky. Before the southern border was completely blocked, some exiled knights and mercenaries still escaped— - They took all kinds of credible and unreliable news with them, some of which fell into Typhon's hands.

This information made Emperor Rosetta aware of Cecil's rise, and he was more alert to the "Magic Web" from Cecil.

And yet... the Weave is still a good thing.

"We need magic net technology, and we need magic net application technology, and these technologies must be in our own hands," Rosetta Augustus said in a deep voice, according to the blueprint on the table, "Typhon, You need your own magic net."
