Chapter 1280 Exposure of the Trial Site
Although the trouble of resetting the map to zero is not small, the benefits are obvious.
The biggest advantage, of course, is that the court's control over the place has been greatly strengthened, and at the same time, the territory is no longer so empty, just like a stone falling to the ground, with a sense of solidity.
Exchanges between provinces and provinces and between regions will also become active.
In addition, after the map is reset to zero, it will also greatly promote ocean trade.
In the past, the maritime trade between Daxia and South America was full of difficulties. After the map is reset to zero, the trade between the two sides will surely usher in a true golden age.
When it comes to Daxia specifically, the benefits are also obvious.
First, although the river transportation has been weakened, it has greatly facilitated the construction of railways and official roads, making it possible to develop a railway network throughout the empire.
Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo really didn't have the confidence to build railways.
Second, it weakens the pressure of garrison, especially the defense pressure of the troops in border areas.
This round of disarmament in Daxia is really timely.
Third, it is exactly what Gaia expects, so that Daxia has a stronger motivation to expand abroad.
This is what Ouyang Shuo can think of now.
What touched Ouyang Shuo the most was that after the map was reset to zero, he had a real sense of intimacy with the game world.
That's right, kindness!
The game world expanded ten times, although it is based on the earth as a template, it can be as large as mountains and rivers, as small as ancient roads and city walls, and it is always different from the real world.
This is the illusion after exaggeration, like an inflated balloon.
Although they seem to have known each other, they always remind them that this is an illusory world, not the earth that occasionally appears in their dreams, but they can never go back.
After the map was reset to zero, this feeling of intimacy immediately hit his face.
Yes, although it is impossible for them to return to the earth, they have reshaped the earth in the virtual world as a collective memory of their generation.
Every plant and tree here is memorable.
"Thank you, Gaia!"
At this moment, not only Ouyang Shuo, most of the strangers sighed like this.
【2】Open the results of the second industrial revolution.
The restrictions on the technology tree of the second industrial revolution are removed. On a global scale, as long as they have the corresponding research and development capabilities, they can develop related products and technologies that burst out during this period.
The second industrial revolution ushered in the "Electrical Age".
After the steam engine, the generator came into being, followed by electrical appliances such as electric lights, trams, movie projectors, telegraphs, etc., which became a new energy source that supplemented and replaced the steam engine.
Then there is the innovation and use of the internal combustion engine, which gave birth to internal combustion vehicles, ocean-going ships, airplanes and other means of transportation, which promoted the development of the oil mining industry and the production of the petrochemical industry.
Compared with the small troubles of the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution is a complete subversion of the old world. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "a new day".
Historically, it was during this period that monopoly organizations emerged, and then capitalism emerged, which began to challenge the old order in order to gain greater benefits.
This is what alarmed Ouyang Shuo the most.
The future Great Xia Empire must never embark on the road of capitalism.
Fortunately, for Ouyang Shuo, for the vast majority of foreigners, the second industrial revolution is nothing new, even from the perspective of their time, it is just a "primitive society".
The rapid changes in modern society were unimaginable to people at that time.
In 2190 AD, the world not only entered the era of federation, but also successively spanned the fourth artificial intelligence revolution, the fifth virtual reality revolution, and the sixth space exploration revolution, etc.
It is not too much to say that the second industrial revolution is a "primitive society".
After two hundred years of exploration, the earth has established a more effective management system. Standing on the shoulders of giants, Ouyang Shuo is confident to guide the way forward for Great Xia.
As the founding emperor, Ouyang Shuo has advantages that others cannot match.
All in all, with the unlocking of the second industrial revolution technology tree, Great Xia is about to usher in a more turbulent era, full of both opportunities and challenges.
【3】Open Mu continent.
Atlantis Civilization, Lemurian Civilization, Mu Continental Civilization, and Gendaya Civilization are known as the four most mysterious civilizations. Although they are invisible, various legends have been circulating.
In the game world, Ouyang Shuo awakened the Atlantean civilization and had transactions with the Lemurian civilization, but he knew nothing about the Mu continent civilization and Gendaya civilization.
Whether it was the past life or the present life, there was no trace of clues.
Legend has it that the continent of Mu is vast, stretching from the present-day Hawaiian Islands in the east to the Mariana Islands in the west, and Fiji, Tahiti and Easter Island in the south.
The entire continent is 8,000 kilometers long from east to west and 5,000 kilometers wide from north to south, which is equivalent to the combined area of North and South America. The total area is about 35 million square kilometers. It is a beautiful and rich place.
Unexpectedly, Gaia took the initiative to expose the Mu continent this time.
After reading Gaia's introduction to the Mu Continent, even with Ouyang Shuo's calmness, he couldn't help but swear: "I'm going!"
It turns out that the so-called Continent of Mu has been set by Gaia as a mysterious place of trials from the very beginning.
This time the Mu continent appeared in the Pacific Ocean, but Gaia lifted the "invisibility" of the Mu continent, exposed it to the world, and participated in the competition for global hegemony again.
"It's really not a big deal to watch the excitement!" Ouyang Shuo couldn't help complaining.
All over the world, in the country that was destroyed seven years ago by Gaia, all players were reborn in the land of trials, that is, the continent of Mu, starting from the novice, and starting the game journey again.
When Mu Dalu was born, Ouyang Shuo had the most headache.
Think about the countries that were slaughtered by the Great Xia before Gaia, such as Japan, Korea, Southeast Asian countries, Morocco, Somalia, Ethiopia and so on.
It can be said that more than 80% of the newly born countries in the Mu Continent are the "mortal enemies" of Great Xia.
After all, in the European continent, the rise of the dynasties was mostly due to mergers and reorganizations, rather than group destruction, and very few were actually sent to the continent of Mu.
Including the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire, it is basically the same routine.
On the Continent of Mu, except for the mortal enemy of Great Xia, the remaining main force is probably the enemy of the Indian Empire. They are allies who really share the same disease.
Coincidentally, the continent of Mu happened to lie in the Pacific Ocean between Bactria and the Indian Empire.
Ouyang Shuo unconsciously put his hand on his forehead, shook his head and said, "It's really unsettling!"
Although Gaia said that the environment of the trial land is worse than that of the wilderness, the growth rate of the exiled players will be harder than that of the wilderness, and they are forced to reincarnate, so there will be a certain gap in strength compared to the main world.
Even so, Ouyang Shuo still didn't dare to take it lightly.
First, Ouyang Shuo is not sure whether Gaia has also put the black technology of the Mu continent into it while setting the Mu continent as a place of trials for the exiles to explore.
If yes, that's big trouble.
In the world, no one knows better than Ouyang Shuo how bad technology is.
Second, perhaps it is precisely because of the cruel environment of the Trial Land that when a group of people are eliminated, a group of strong people will actually be created.
It is conceivable how strong the survivors in the harsh environment will be.
Thirdly, Ouyang Shuo has no way of knowing whether the countries in the Mu Continent are fighting on their own, or whether they have merged into a whole to help each other.
If it was the former, Ouyang Shuo had nothing to worry about. If Da Xia could kill them once, he could kill them a second time. But if it was the latter, it would be enough to arouse Ouyang Shuo's vigilance.
The organization that is blended together will definitely be a super giant.
Now that Mu Continent has just been born, everything is still unknown, there is not much that Ouyang Shuo can do, he just instructs the Nanyang Theater to immediately enter the state of combat readiness.
Southern Xinjiang is not only the closest to Mu Continent, but also the old nest of Southeast Asian countries. If they want to attack the outside world, it is impossible for the forces of Mu Continent not to think about Southern Xinjiang.
Ouyang Shuo had previously planned to weaken the Nanyang theater, but now it seems that he can only shelve it.
