A Will Eternal Chapter 274
Extensive paper records were discarded at the facility after the municipality's people were evacuated. ()
As soon as Duo Riveting was sorting and shipping, Kane browsed and read, and then went to the library to search for information. It took almost three days before and after, and finally he had a clearer understanding of the city and even the world.
Before 1589, the history of this world was exactly the same as that of the world of souls that Kane was familiar with.
The most important historical event was the ascension of the Northern Song Dynasty in 1010.
The huge country disappeared in the colorful light, and the surrounding countries have related records, such as the auspicious light that lasts for three days, the upper country disappears into nothingness, and so on.
As far as the territory is concerned, the Northern Song Dynasty is not that big. The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in the north, that is, the later parts of Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, and Shanxi, are not included in the territory. It is the ministries of Tubo, and a considerable part of Yunnan belongs to Dali.
The territory is not large, but it was the roof of human civilization at that time. 80% of the world's GDP was created by Song Dynasty. Therefore, the soaring of this country has a relatively large impact on the world, whether it is the environment and climate, or the development trajectory of human civilization.
This event is actually the beginning of the sinful soul.
Goryeo, Japan, and Dali at that time all had legends left by the Song Dynasty:
Legend has it that after Xuanyuan Dingding Kyushu, he took gold from Kyushu and cast eight pillars, called the Desolate Pillars, which blocked the invasion of the Eight Desolations like boundary monuments.
These eight pillars also lead directly to the underworld, which is the boundary of the underworld.
However, the pillar collapsed due to the battle between the immortals, so not only the ghosts and monsters from the eight wilds began to appear, but even the ghosts and monsters from the underworld also returned to the human world.
When the Taoist priests in the Northern Song Dynasty saw that the world was too filthy to save, they urged the emperor to fly to the outer heavens, not even the lost territories.
From this super legendary incident, it is not difficult to see that the world of sinful souls is actually set in the east.
The Northern Song Dynasty was praised and killed, and became a background board, an oriental heaven.
And the mess left by the Northern Song Dynasty became the source of sinful souls, and the swirling sea formed by the disappearance of the Northern Song Dynasty was called the Nine Nether Abyss.
Due to the altitude problem, there are a large number of sky walls with high cliffs (over 3,000 meters in some places) in Qinghai. The original Yanyun Sixteen States suddenly became a coastal land.
After the legend, the main stage will be concentrated in the Sixteen States of Yanyun, because this was once the hometown of China, and there are broken pieces of barren columns.
In the middle of the 14th century, the Eastern countries with relatively advanced technology opened the era of great navigation ahead of schedule. Two hundred years later, in the middle of the 16th century, the Western countries launched the Eastern Sea Expedition. At that time, the world-class maritime powers Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands China, France, etc., and Japan, Beihua, Korea, Dali and other countries in the east, west of Malacca, and even the entire Indian Ocean, are fighting in full swing.
In the world of sinful souls, this war is called the era of the century-old naval battle. It has indeed been fought for more than a hundred years, and there are five major battles. Almost every twenty years, when a generation grows up, it will be fought hard.
In 1589, it happened to be the beginning of the third battle. According to the historical line that Kane knew, the winner of this battle was the West. The first round was very beautiful. There were seven rounds in three years. Fourth and sixth are a bit ugly, and the rest are basically big wins.
But the history of this world is not like that. The Eastern countries are extremely powerful, with eight victories in eight battles, all the way from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and the Western countries that fought directly knelt down, cede land and pay compensation, and there will be no century-old naval battles.
The reason why the Eastern countries are powerful is the use of the Miracle Stone, which is called the Philosopher's Stone in the West.
For the next three hundred years, it was very difficult for the western countries. Not only did they become a dumping ground for the products of the eastern countries, but they were also severely plundered for extraordinary resources.
This is also an important reason why Western countries have embarked on the road of steampunk. Insufficient resources coupled with all-round suppression, magic has basically disappeared, and the last point that is left is merged into the Mortal system, so Mortal technology has a little bit of black technology, and later broke out that it is related to the origin Different ways of adding technology points in the world.
After entering the middle of the 19th century, the world pattern changed again.
The industrial revolution led to the rise of the western countries, while the eastern countries (mainly the four countries, Japan, Beihua, Koryo, and Dali) that plundered extraordinary resources all over the world at that time played a closed-door policy.
Westerners call it the land of gods and demons, and many people firmly believe that the global crisis of extreme cold is the result of the Easterners' messing around.
It has to be said that this is completely different from the world of sinful souls in Kane's memory.
Because in his memory, it was western alchemy that invented the Miracle Stone, and it was the fifth and last big battle of the Hundred Years Naval War that made it shine.
Afterwards, the western magical wind represented by the Miracle Stone accompanied their warships all over the world, and gradually stabilized, embarking on a strange road of science and technology.
The eastern countries have been suppressed all the time, and many problems can only be digested internally.
From his point of view, this is probably due to external interference, causing history to take a fork in the road, and the most suspicious one is naturally the snake father, Yi Ge.
However, such speculation is actually too rough.
For example, the Miracle Stone was invented by Western alchemists around 1607. As a result, it was first used by the East in 1589.
How did the snake father, Yi Ge, know the formula of the Miracle Stone? The Miracle Stone is not a product of its technical system. Where is the necessity for it to invent the Miracle Stone?
These mysteries are not solved, but it is a bit arbitrary to put the hat of changing history on Igor's head.
Thinking back to the block, in addition to intelligence collection, Kane also obtained some technical information.
The main gimmick of steampunk is actually black technology. With his ability, it is not difficult to find it from a large amount of paper materials or summarize it by deconstructing the formed equipment.
In addition, he also learned why the city was empty, because there was no food.
There is no food left in the city, it is either processed and taken away, or stored centrally.
Everyone knows that there is a severe cold in large areas of the world, and one of the crises is that there is not enough food to eat. So if we can evacuate in an orderly manner, how can we let go of food management?
Also, he learned that going south was the wrong choice. The diffusion pattern of the extreme cold crisis has characteristics similar to nuclear winter. The whole world is cooling down, and the situation in the tropics is not good. The plants there have poor cold resistance, and the ecological damage is very serious. More importantly, there is a lack of resources that people urgently need.
This is England, and the British chose to flee north, and their destination is the North Pole.
It is said that the dignitaries began to survey there two years ago and made a series of arrangements. There are thick glaciers and a large amount of coal, which are suitable for survival under extreme cold.
There is no doubt that this reason is so far-fetched that a person with a normal IQ would be suspicious.
Would it be easier to start from scratch in a ghostly place like the Arctic than to build a cold-resistant kingdom on the ground? You must know that even with the technology of the original world in the 21st century, building cities in the North and South Poles is definitely costly, let alone this era.
With the same cost and power consumption, relying on the industrial base owned by the country to build an underground kingdom to keep out the cold, isn't this more reliable than going to the Arctic to open up wasteland?
Even if Britain lacks resources, you can choose places like Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas.
The Eastern countries played the supernatural country, and the world plundered supernatural resources, and did not occupy extensive land afterwards. Later, it gradually fell into the hands of Western countries.
By the middle of the 19th century, oil in the Middle East, coal mines in North Africa, and the development of the Great Lakes region in North America... These are all already in operation. With so many options, do you have to go to the barren Arctic?
Kane felt that there must be hidden secrets here, and these hidden secrets are inextricably linked with the truth that caused history to be changed.
So in theory, he should head east now because of his emotions and reason. Going there seems to be the only way to solve this bunch of puzzles, and at the same time, there are also extraordinary resources he needs.
But after careful consideration, Kane gave up the option of going straight to the East.
To be honest, he was a little scared. If the extreme cold crisis was really caused by the east side, it means that the other party has mastered extraordinary equipment that is almost at the level of planetary power.
With that level of energy throughput efficiency, he really can't afford to provoke him now. After all, no matter where the huge amount of energy is piled up, it can make a big noise.
Puppets, legions, rapid development, and winning by quantity, these are his strong points. He decided to pretend to be a grandson for a few days, pull up the team, and then collect all the information before deciding on a countermeasure. Instead of riding alone for thousands of miles, go straight to the enemy's lair.
After making the decision, Kane did not leave this abandoned city in a hurry, but instead built his big plan in a certain facility, mainly considering the current environment and conditions, calculating the resources at hand, and finding the most suitable development path the road.
Kane compares himself to a street painter who relies on painting for his living. The techniques he masters are like paint boards. Different worlds are like different themes given by different customers. He constructs the content of paintings according to the themes.
Like this world, the slow development and slow accumulation of the dark HP world is not suitable. It's not that he's not patient enough, but that he doesn't have so many extraordinary resources to fill in the holes.
In this world, he would not dare to summon the Death Star lightly. The risk of making a wedding dress for someone is too high.
The high-end technology flow of the medieval warhammer can't be played, and the extraordinary resources are still stuck.
As much as possible to the mortal technology, the extraordinary ability is responsible for making condiments, and opening up key points. He thinks this way of thinking is more appropriate.
Isn't that how the westerners in this world play like this, using their extraordinary abilities and embarking on the road of steampunk. For example, energy towers, land cruisers, and robots all need a creation called a 'steam core'.
Although he didn't see the real thing, he also found some relevant technical information. He can say with certainty that in the manufacturing process of its core, extraordinary ingredients have been added. Not to mention anything else, if it is built with the technology of this era, the accuracy alone will not be able to meet the standard.
Now that Westerners are very popular with steam black technology, he can definitely build on this basis to a higher level, and the technology he has mastered can do it.
He didn't even need to sell dog meat. He also went to the steampunk world in his previous life. His technical system has been honed in various worlds, and he has a panacea side. Pure steampunk can be played better than steampunk in this world. Well, not to mention that it's still on the supercar.
On this night, Kane encountered a unique and extraordinary search.
First of all, the passive detection device he installed on the vehicle discovered the enemy's situation.
The principle of this device is to capture abnormalities by monitoring the extraordinary energy index in the area.
It works like a radar, scanning high energy units.
The so-called high-energy unit is the existence of extraordinary power enrichment. The observation effect looks like the image of an infrared thermal sensor. The chromaticity corresponds to the energy level. Once it is red, it is considered high-energy.
Kane hastened to prepare for the battle.
The other party failed to find him, and after circling a few times over the city, he left, but dropped a strange bomb.
As the bomb exploded, the energy wave spread out, with a church on the edge of the city as the core point, spreading to an area with a radius of about 1500 meters.
After that, like tearing off a film, the diaphragm between reality and the underworld disappeared.
The underworld is not equal to hell. The relationship between the underworld and hell is like land and a city.
For a city in reality, when the underworld overlaps with reality, the entrance to hell is generally in the resting place, that is, the cemetery, while places of faith, such as churches or even prayer rooms at home, are shelters. Of course, the church that was hit by the bomb was directly desecrated and could no longer be used as a shelter.
Kane observed and analyzed calmly.
He knew that the other party was so sharp, one was because he did possess high technology, and the other was because the particularity of this world made this kind of spell very easy to succeed.
For example, in the dark HP world, the gate of hell needs to be opened to level 6 to stage the advent of evil gods, but in this world, as long as the door is opened, it will be level 5.5 directly.
Not long after, Kane meets the evil spirit seeker from hell...
