Chapter 221 Chapter 7.04 Weak Divine Power, Strong Divine Power
industry.
To interpret the meaning from Chinese characters, karma: behavior.
Industry is the "working" industry.
From the perspective of the governing philosophy of Eastern culture, when a behavior is allowed to exist on a large scale, it becomes an "industry." Then it must be a boost to stability.
Therefore, in modern times in the East, the reason why industry was strongly supported was to stabilize society. What is inherited is the tradition of "relief through work" from the classical era.
Industry is "industry" in Western English vocabulary, which means hard work, craftsman production, and workshop.
In Western sociology, craftsmen gather to unify tool production, with an emphasis on wealth creation. If industry cannot create enough wealth, it will be difficult to maintain its social operations.
In the twenty-seventh century, the mainstream civilization on earth’s understanding of the concept of industry basically stems from the above two categories.
Western object-viewing philosophy can identify and grasp the core of material operation and start the industrial revolution, while the social collaboration and joint participation of Eastern "humanistic philosophy" can also expand the scale of industry to unprecedented levels.
And in such a different world
If the industrial godhead is supported by travelers with different civilization concepts on the earth, there will be huge differences due to the different purposes at the beginning.

In 3572, in Xiange Town, the Xuedang River was cut off and a dam was built. As the dam was closed, a rotor generator built by a small town craftsman with a large number of coils wound around it and cut magnetic lines began to collect the electrical energy here and then transfer it to capacitors made of graphene. In local parlance, it is called the magic pool.
Oh, the process of peeling off graphene and then arranging it requires relying on the arcane skills of this world to do it on a large scale: only a second-ring spell is needed to quickly and orderly arrange the irregular graphite in nature on a microscopic level. arrangement.
There is no shortage of knowledge in this plane that arcane mages covet in Master Wei's system database.
~
After the electric energy is sufficient, it is naturally used in the forging machine. Wei Keng borrowed approximately 5,000 gold coins as start-up capital.
Although as an heir, there are still variables whether he can inherit this territory. But for businessmen, if they really become lords in the future, they will be doomed if they don't borrow money.
After receiving the money, Wei Keng, as the investor, signed a contract with Xinya Church, an important party in the construction of the dam, which stipulated the loan of agricultural tools and the method of purchasing agricultural products. Of course, the contract is not that rigid. If farmers fail to harvest due to natural disasters, diseases, etc., their loans will be reduced or exempted.
Natural disasters and diseases in this world are largely attributed to gods or curses. The concept of traditional contracts does not care about these things. If you encounter such bad luck, God will not bless you.
Lady Sprout is not a powerful deity, and the church organization is quite loose.
Because there is such a thing as the art of food creation in the world that people can't starve to death. The matter of farming is not entirely determined by new sprouts. Gods such as Monsoon, Glory, and Earth are all involved. Her priesthood is only the last step: letting the seeds sprout tenaciously.
Wei Keng: If soilless cultivation occurs in the future, a greenhouse will be built. The priesthood of the Sprout Goddess may be stronger.
~
In the winter of 3572, food was successfully grown.
As the future lord, Wei Keng fulfilled his promise and only collected farmers' grain. Then the priest from the Temple of Tyre was invited and a new contract was reached with the temple here. The newly built granary will be under the protection of the God of Justice.
Because, on top of the fact that the granary is waterproof, fireproof, insect-proof, and dry, God knows if there will be believers of some evil gods who will cause trouble. As for the priests of the God of Justice, they will not work in vain. The contract clearly stipulates sufficient remuneration.
Even though there would be some corruption in the temple organization, Wei Keng felt that if he gave enough rewards and put his belief in the roots of divine magic on top of it, he wouldn't be able to lose all the food, right?
System prompt: "If there is a large number of famines outside your ruling area, the priests of the God of Justice may find ways to bypass the contract, such as taking advantage of your other vital points to force you to let go of the contract and give up the ownership of the food. ”
Wei Keng: "Yes, indeed. However, if that is the case, we can discuss it carefully. I am also happy to do righteous acts of kindness. As long as the responsibilities are clearly divided, we can make another contract.
Well, if I am willing and the God of Order is willing, then there should be no room for smart people to operate in the middle, unless there is the intervention of conspiracy and lie believers. "
After the system paused for a few seconds, it responded: "God is not that gentle and will not engage in Tai Chi with you."
~
The ribbon was cut on the tall granary with the blessing of the temple priest.
Watching the carts of grain being transported to the warehouse, people believed that Tyre, the god of justice, could provide justice because of their own wealth.
And justice must also be reflected in certain important things and be respected.
In Xiange Town, the power of faith pervades.
The priests in the temple looked noble, obviously receiving a response from their gods. ——It seems that this god also projected.
Wei Keng's contract with the God of Justice was taken seriously, and the God seemed to want to take the deal further.
~
In the supervisor's space.
Bai Linglu: "Wait, something is wrong."
Qin Xiaohan did not deny Bai Linglu, but cooperated in searching for information.
Bai Linglu opened the interface and had a conversation with Wei Keng.
Bai Linglu: "Congratulations, you helped a god."
Wei Keng, who was in the material world, breathed out: "Achieve a contract? This is the necessary direction of development." Feeling that Bai Linglu's inexplicable words may have the meaning of questioning, he further explained: "The existence of gods in this world is objective. In fact, if you want to develop something, you can’t go around them.”
Bai Linglu nodded, transferred the information found by Qin Xiaohan, took a look at it and said: "The power of this god has gathered, and he has begun to instruct his believers to do some things."
Wei Keng: "Well, is it aimed at me?"
Bai Linglu: "Yes."
Wei Keng: "You want to mess with me?"
Bai Linglu: "I want to support you to become a lord. Of course, if you are willing to go further, they will support you to become the heir to the empire. As a descendant of the gods, you are indeed a potential stock."
Wei Keng: "Is this, help?"
Bai Linglu: "When mortals trade with gods, gods always take advantage."
After saying this, she gave Wei Keng time to react.
Wei Keng looked at the interface for a while, then rubbed his forehead: "My mind is not that clear, so you should explain it carefully."
Bai Linglu: “When gods make deals with mortals, mortals often help gods expand their faith, and gods bless mortals with powerful magic or a high social status. But you don’t have either. lack."
As a time traveler, Wei Keng cannot be considered an ordinary mortal and does not pursue power and wealth in this world.
As for social status, what kind of social status would a person who has been selling pancakes for decades care about?
A consciousness that can directly push across the starry sky battlefield is itself an existence that suppresses a party's destiny. Does it need the recognition of gods?
This is just like, in modern times, the total industrial output value ranks first in the world, and supercomputing and aerospace are close to the highest level in the world. Does it still need free media to conduct value evaluation before it can obtain legal status like a small African country?
National character is different from national character, and personality and personality are also different.
~The main world that travels through many planes is equivalent to the multiverse where arcana exists.
And Wei Keng, the top conscious being in the plane war, is also equal to the gods of this world. It’s just that Wei Keng’s character is too honest! It's easy to be regarded as a mere mortal by the guys here.
~
Wei Keng paused: "Indeed, I don't lack anything, but what do you do now? Refuse?"
Bai Linglu: "Please keep your distance. When dealing with gods, you must be very vigilant. What they give you will definitely cost you. Even gods who preach order and justice are very calculating."
On the street, Wei Keng looked at the people who were praying to the gods with their hands on their chests and nodded silently.
Wei Keng: “I understand, when doing things in this world, you can’t expect smooth sailing. Anything that I am the main promoter of, God is much involved in it. After the result is achieved, my “elements” will be in the whole event. The proportion in the chain will decrease.”
Bai Linglu did not continue his long speech and nodded: "My opponent, I won't disturb you anymore. Continue with your plan."
…
In the supervisor's space, when Bai Linglu hung up, Qin Xiaohan couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you tell him about that!"
Bai Linglu's expression was calm: "I have said everything that needs to be said to him, and there is no need to say anything else. If I say it, it will only make people disgusted."
The current overall analysis of Wei Keng’s mission by the Monitor team is as follows:
Wei Keng's behavior of achieving the industrial concept is likely to form a weak god, or he may become a medium god if his operation is better. But in fact, if you follow the most effective strategies, you can reach powerful gods.
This is because when Weikeng completes the industrial concept, it requires the cooperation of multiple parties.
For example, in terms of agricultural cooperation and warehouses based on the reputation of the Temple of Justice, Wei Keng has left room, and these "rooms" will be taken over by other related gods.
Bai Linglu's so-called "everything that needs to be said has been said" actually includes the concept of cooperating with gods to achieve industry, which will weaken the power of gods.
For example, Ms. Sprout can only manage a few functions such as germination and new growth of plants. Therefore, we cannot achieve such a domineering concept as the Eastern “She Ji”.
Wei Keng regards industry as a necessary procedure for stabilizing society and a reflection of good intentions.
But a kind heart is sometimes a stumbling block to becoming a god.
The Mediterranean system determines the "industrial" godhead, which can create a lot of wealth and can also start wars.
Such a priesthood can inspire the believers' aspirations and make them stronger.
~
This is actually the difference between Eastern and Western philosophy. The Godhead is a Western overview of key concepts. The East talks about "Tao", and "Tao" is not the key point. Tao is a ubiquitous element, and Tao is not isolated.
This is like the difference between Eastern and Western painting art: Western paintings have a central observation point when they are first viewed, but when they are appreciated, they are hung in art exhibitions so that each painting with an observation center can be compared with each other. The east is a scroll. The landscape painting slowly unfolds in the scroll, using a perspective that looks at the overall situation.
It’s not that Wei Keng didn’t understand when industry was most impactful in history (in modern times, several world wars were the embodiment of industry’s ruthless power), but he still chose the most harmonious one based on the overall concept.
~
Therefore, Bai Linglu was not happy about this mission!
Because the industrial godhood assigned to Wei Keng is too small, it can't show Wei Keng's inherent ability to expand the whole situation. How strong is Wei Keng in Pandora? Industry, agriculture, technology, education, military, strategy, although each of them is what he calls a middle-class person, but when integrated together, it is overwhelming.
So before crossing, Bai Linglu complained to his aunt: "Qin Tianfang is blindly commanding. The multiverse is not suitable for Wei Keng to expand. This deployment is mostly mediocre. If there is a little bit of expansion, he (Wei Keng) can make our seemingly simple things extremely tragic."
~
The perspective turns back to the material plane,
Twelve-year-old Carret (Wei Keng) rides a white horse on the riverside to visit the rows of bungalow workshops under his name. These workshops made him a big capitalist in this land in less than half a year.
Oh, although he still owes thousands of gold coins in foreign debt, no one will doubt that he can't pay it back.
The stored grain and the ironware produced are all hot-selling goods, and it is impossible for them not to be sold. The specific performance of credibility is that if bonds are issued at this time, they will definitely be snapped up, indicating that the credibility is strong. On the contrary, if they must be forcibly apportioned to be sold, it means that the ruling credibility is overdrawn.
But this is not cost-effective for a mage. The purpose of the arcane master to build an energy station (magic tower) is not to waste it on mortals. The support of mortals is useless for the arcane path.
The arcane master himself is the most potential industrial consumer. The more powerful the arcane master, the more energy he consumes.
Therefore, the arcane masters praise knowledge, but they will not be committed to spreading knowledge or sharing the ability to explore knowledge.
This is like the global technology under the rule of the United States in the ancient times. The Eagle Sauce, which masters high technology, is willing to share values, but whoever wants to share his energy (oil), will immediately turn against him.
Wei Keng's magic tower is nothing strange to the great arcane masters.
What is strange is the distribution of energy.
In the contract signed by Wei Keng, he could only use 10% of the energy, and the rest was used to produce daily necessities for the people.
Many lord mages also used their own arcane magic to make the territory prosperous, which was normal. Well, it was just that in the contract, his share was reduced to 10%, which was what Wei Keng was willing to do.
~
Suddenly, Wei Keng stopped in front of a workshop. With his 16-point perception, he noticed something unusual. Then Wei Keng frowned.
Wei Keng walked into the factory, and workers were sweating. When the supervisor saw the young Wei Keng coming in, he immediately stepped forward and bowed to accompany him.
~
When the future lord, who was just 1.7 meters tall and in good shape, was about to become the center of the crowd, Wei Keng pushed them away and walked straight to the production line.
When approaching the workers, these workers were obviously affected, waiting quietly for inquiries like tamed animals. ——This is the effect of high charm attributes.
Wei Keng pulled up the workers' hands and looked at them, and then asked each worker about the wages.
Oh, this process made the supervisors behind change their faces.
After the questioning, Wei Keng did not speak, but smiled and gave each worker twenty copper coins for lost wages. Soon the production line restarted.
Master Wei did not reprimand the supervisors on the spot, but showed his ruling charm. The extremely high "charm" value and the casual attitude will have a mental impact on the crowd.
Half an hour later, Wei Keng jumped onto the high wall of the factory in front of the supervisors, took out a detection crystal and put it on it - this was to install a camera. At the same time, he took out a hammer and nailed the "report mailbox" in the blind spot of the factory aisle.
After doing all this, Wei Keng rubbed his head, checked the system information, and walked to the factory office, leaving the supervisors who wanted to attack the grassroots workers but had to restrain themselves.
~
Wei Keng said to himself: People have mental fluctuations, and in the environment of this world, the accumulation of negative mental fluctuations will cause pollution. No wonder no wizard allows a large number of mortals to participate in their arcane production, and most of them tend to use magic-powered puppets with mechanical construction for production.
Wei Keng sighed: "People in industrial production need to control their emotions. Can ordinary people do that?"
