Chapter 226 Chapter 7.09 Industrial Party (Part 1)

The wind has been blowing for 3574 years, and the storms and precipitation are still the same as in the old days.

For Ruite Ling, the times are calling. ——Wearing wear-resistant industrial clothing and several sets of work clothes that are easy to wash in agricultural work, as well as green and white school uniforms for children aged six to ten, blue and white school uniforms for children aged ten to fifteen, and the uniforms of the people in the general area Work has a completely new look.

Even the simplest industrialized cooperation often contributes hundreds or even thousands of times to the total productivity of society.

Because of the advancement of productivity, it is not the number of people that machines can use. It is industrial organization and resource allocation capabilities that have made it possible to accomplish things that could not be done in the past.

In the past, the river course in Ruitland was only 170 kilometers. Nourishment to both sides of the strait is limited to an area of ​​one or two kilometers.

According to traditional thinking, no matter how advanced the technology of a few people is, the land is limited.

However, after completing industrial mobilization and upstream exploration, three rivers were re-directed, and high-water bridges and channels were built near all rivers, so that water source irrigation could be extended to five kilometers or even six kilometers away on both sides of the river. Produce several times the cultivated land!

The reason why such large-scale water conservancy projects could not be completed in the past: feudal lords had limited management and control capabilities. Anyone who could not control more than 50% of the profits to his trusted group of dozens of people would do less in order to prevent power from getting out of control. Don't do it.

In a modern organization with strong management capabilities, even if the central capital economy only accounts for 5% of the total economy, because it has mastered the key nodes, it can control the entire economy, and it can also carry out "this kind of one-sided profit is very small, Even losing money” in infrastructure construction.

Because even if the center loses money in the short term, it can still control the return flow of all external profits.

~

Now Carret is taking the lead in carrying out a water conservancy revolution in his own territory.

During the moistening process of water in the soil over thousands of kilometers, the soil particles softened, and insects and earthworms began to revive. Even an apprentice of Arcana could feel that "this water element is warm and nourishing, and life is gestating."

Carret, who borrowed money to survive, squandered all his savings. ——And the beneficiaries in the future, well, it seems that the biggest ones are the freedmen of each village and the small and medium-sized lords.

Half of the cultivated land in those non-core areas is the territory of lords and even knights. An agricultural area centered on a few springs and creeks.

With the excavation of steam engines, large canals directly guided water from large rivers, and the increase in agricultural production in the region was unlimited.

How should I put it? In the past, crops could only be grown once a year by storms and rainfall, but now we can rotate crops! In the past, the fertility of the ground could not sustain it, but now chemical fertilizers can be used.

Output is distributed to the middle and lower levels, but control has quietly increased.

~

The perspective shifts to the Imperial Capital side,

The king sat in his position and acquiesced in the result that his brother had colluded with evil forces and was destroyed.

And the aftermath of such a result was beyond his control - even if the royal family performed forbidden spells, they would be punished. In other words, the territory must be eliminated and the title of the heirs reduced.

So, except the right to inherit the title?

That is to bring back his nephew. Make arrangements again.

And what arrangements should be made for this? The major forces in the empire each have their own plans.

According to the norm in the empire, children who cannot inherit the throne are often sent to the knights. Earn titles through military exploits.

When the temple gained the upper hand, it would also recruit nobles as priests.

However, the current situation of the empire is quite special, that is: now the collateral descendant ‘Carret’ is, to some extent, one of the top male heirs in the royal succession.

Before the emperor gave birth to a direct male, and Carrette himself did not claim to give up the right to inherit, it was one of the whirlpools of the struggle for the throne.

There are many great nobles in the current empire who insist on tradition.

These nobles are not morally loyal to "Carrette" (Wei Keng), but they need to have a spare tire for the royal heir and a relative, the Duke of the Golden Blade, to have a say in the struggle.

If the emperor's daughters can come up with enough chips, they will undoubtedly re-adjust the chips.

So, Karite (Master Wei): "Do I need to connect with the nobles in the imperial capital now? I'm not good at behind-the-scenes politics, but in terms of strengthening the grassroots, I still have the appearance of a middle-aged man."

The nobles of the Northern Territory, big and small, not only have a few more pieces of land producing agricultural products this year, but also more or less have loan IOUs from Uncle Carret. Ninety percent of the repayment patterns of these IOUs have reserved seeds and fertilizers. ——This is something the Imperial Capital has never thought of!

The wind touches October of the year 3574.

The first large canal was completed.

The construction process of the canal was very clever. First, the automatic magic puppet drilled holes underneath, then poured water in, activated the mire spell, and the soil automatically collapsed, and then let the steam cart push the soft soil away from the tunnel. .

A steam engine can push three hundred pieces of earth in one afternoon. Judging from the advancement rate of about 10,000 earthworks per kilometer. With fifty steam engines, four months was enough to complete hundreds of kilometers of irrigation canals.

In this large-scale canal construction project, Wei Keng used a large number of old rivers, creeks, and roads to widen them during the surveying and mapping process.

In order to ensure that the canal with a width of only five meters has sufficient water during each irrigation period, a large number of natural lakes were adjusted and dams were built to allow water to enter the lakes for storage first.

During the dry season, water from the lake is released.

Wei Keng: "The precipitation in this world is so orderly that we don't even need weather forecasts. We only need timetables for water storage and release."

~

When rolling water channels moisten the earth along an area of ​​more than a hundred kilometers. Each water bridge transports water from the water tower to a highland reservoir three kilometers away from the canal. Let the racecourses become good fields where wheat can grow.

The freedmen in the area eagerly watched the rushing water pouring into the farmland. They knelt down and sighed in praise of God.

God will naturally not be less lively at this time, and will send miracles to regain the power of faith.

Lady Sprouts used her divine power to cause the seeds on both sides of the ditch to sprout. And this also made the faith that was already here much more stable.

Even the weakest gods are still legends, beings that demigods look up to.

~

Leaning on the steam engine, Wei Keng's face was still covered with mud, looking like a rural boy who had finished planting rice seedlings.

Looking up at the drizzle.

In perception, the quantum field contains all the information about the development of life. This information is injected into the soil seeds, which immediately brings new life to the plants in the soil.

And such a quantum information field reverberates in thousands of square kilometers near the water channel. This ground-breaking power is beyond the reach of any arcane system at present.

The Sprout Lady is not alone in this harvest of faith.

Ms. Xinya and their sacrifices who are willing to perform miracles are really honest and willing to use real divine power and magic to respond to the faith offerings of human believers.

And some powerful priests seem to want to take advantage of them again.

For example, in the temple of the God of Justice, the priest knelt in the light of the god and listened to the gospel.

~

When the water canal was completed, the storms over the Imperial Capital Throne also came to the north.

News spread that "the king does not recognize the new lord" made Lord Rhett panic.

Compared with the previous lord sent by the imperial capital, Karet's performance in the territory was a clear opposite. It can bring miracles to the territory, and the merchants, small and medium-sized nobles, and free people in the territory will all gain hope.

But what now? Can't this good lord who has not been encountered in the northern territory for hundreds of years inherit the territory?

~

But Wei Keng was not impressed by the news.

Mr. Wei said in a Peking Opera accent: "One skill is magic, and the other hand is farming! I want to earn money standing up~~."

In the north of Xiange City, an oriental building like the Temple of Heaven is located here. Under the building, the heat from the earth's veins passes through the water medium, continuously driving countless small hot and cold exchangers to continuously gather magic power.

The sky above the entire Temple of Heaven is filled with swirling clouds.

This is the arcane holy land where arcanists build mental power models, and Wei Keng is building his first seven-ring spell model in his mind.

In the arcane structure, most mages are already over sixty years old when they construct a seven-ring spell. After the construction is completed, their lives will undergo a qualitative change. Since life information is linked to the deep soul structure, the carbon-based body will not decay for hundreds of years. .

However, Wei Keng is now fifteen years old.

This is because there is a godhead behind him providing computing power, and together with the system planning, Wei Keng's arcane research can often find a straight path.

The first seventh-level spell selected by Wei Keng is the psychic barrier, protection system, which makes a creature immune to the effects of mental, emotional and detection spells.

Born in a family of magicians, Wei Keng is extremely wary of magic that affects the mind.

Wei Keng does not follow the path of a battle mage who relies on spell slots, but is a great arcanist who "pursues essence" in this plane.

~

Arcanists are different from warlocks, who are mediums who rely on blood. Arcanists rely on knowledge.

In other words, the sorcerer's spells are instinctively handy. The arcanist must be able to replicate the same type of power on a large scale through knowledge.

On the battlefield, warlocks do not need any spell-casting medium and rely on the power of blood to blast out spells.

Arcanists need spellcasting materials and other structures to release large-scale magic. But - from another perspective, as long as the energy and financial resources are sufficient, there is no limit to the number of spell items an arcanist can have.

The Arcane Tower can unlimitedly convert energy into arcane spells outlined by the arcane mage's spiritual power.

~

In the Arcane Academy two kilometers outside the Temple of Heaven, arcane apprentices are also practicing the technique of rubbing fireballs.

In the school, an eternally burning fireball shines quietly on the podium. The suspended fireball has no source of fuel, but it is constantly emitting heat.

The students underground clumsily used sulfur and nitric acid as guides for casting spells, simulating the release of flames.

This is the Holy Land of Arcane!

One kilogram of coal in the outside world may contain less than 7,000 calories, and the excess energy is swallowed up by the quantum field. But here, the rich energy bred in the quantum field, as long as a few materials are ignited, allows the mental field to keenly grasp this When the "fire" begins to unfold, the quantum field in the holy land can provide enthalpy to unfold along the fire.

With a swish, a student struck out a match, and a shining fireball appeared, extremely bright.

~

At the same time, in the center of the Temple of Heaven

A crystal clear optical maze, a structure similar to the optical model of a quantum computer, is also gradually taking shape above Wei Keng.

Rows of light path water radiated from the center to the surroundings, and then converged in the center.

It was like, no, it was just an optical chip. The chip shrunk and entered between Wei Keng's eyebrows.
