Chapter 252 Chapter 7.34 Cooperation and Competition of New Gods

In the 89th year of Fengfu, three new forces on the continent signed the "Meridian Treaty" around the newly built Meridian Railway Line.

"Meridian" is a longitude line. It is an important line for planning the longitude and latitude of the earth after the humans in the main world entered the Enlightenment Age. The demarcation of the "Prime Meridian" is the supreme honor of the country that initiated the Industrial Revolution.

On the Fengfu continent, it is reasonable to set the "Prime Meridian" based on the first railway running through the north and south.

After the division of this line, "Science", "Industry" and "Machinery" are the first joint actions. It is also the open competition of the three.

At the southernmost tip of Fengfu continent, a large number of warships began to gather.

In the most prosperous commercial port, with sharp slogans, a large number of soldiers wearing khaki cloth began to board the troop transport ships, and in the distance, there were warships with tower bridges holding gun barrels as thick as a hug.

~

On the largest battleship, the Mutsu with a standard displacement of 35,000 tons. One of Yamazawa's fifteen incarnations, a navy admiral, stood on the bridge and reviewed his own strength.

In front of Yamazawa's eyes, the bright Chamber of Commerce flags were flying on the port square. In the familiar navy music, the very spirited navy in the port began to gather.

Yamazawa's memory could not help but return to the historical line where he was born.

However, when thinking of that historical line, his country, as a maritime country, fell after the re-emergence of the world island. He sighed helplessly.

Yamazawa picked up the wine glass with white gloves and murmured: "Science and industry can only stand on one side." - Choosing sides between the East and the West is a problem for every Japanese.

~

Due to recent history, technology and industry broke out from the West.

As an ancient civilization that has been continuously passed down for thousands of years, the Eastern Huaxia system is a tenacious self-sustaining civilization. It is not easy to not want the moral system to be completely reset to zero (barbarians who eat raw meat and drink blood).

But this stubborn self-maintenance ultimately made it difficult for it to break through its own philosophical system before the Industrial Revolution.

As a marginal civilization, Neon did not have the deep foundation of China, and did not want to perish under the wheels of Western expansion and completely Westernize. It became the "bat" in the Eastern and Western civilization camps.

However, as Eastern civilization walked out of the philosophical dead circle, correctly and objectively understood science and technology, and after industry, it showed strong development potential, and its own social thought system also burst into life.

~

In the historical line of Shanzhen, when the Asian empire was in a difficult situation, he was an "Eastern returnist".

After the second industrial revolution, when the third technological revolution was difficult to break through, everything that Neon learned from the West on the historical line of Shanzhen was difficult to use to maintain a large multi-ethnic country. ——It can only turn around and look for the Confucian system.

However, there are the "Eastern Return Party" and the "Albino Party" who continue to be friendly with Europe, that is, the idea of ​​pursuing the superior race of the Germans. The "Albino Party" thought is the "superiority of Yamato" that the Imperial Army, who were obsessed with the old horse manure in the early twentieth century, insisted on refining the race within Asia.

The "Eastern Return Party" believes that it is precisely because of the "Albino Party"'s brain-filled shit that the Asian Empire can only control Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Bohai region at most, and cannot solve the resistance in Gansu, Shaanxi, Henan, Sichuan and other vast areas.

The resistance on the East Asian continent is different from Europe, with multiple batches and small groups of resistance forces, but a truly unified organization that runs through millions of square kilometers. This is the nature of the Eastern civilization. Compared with the European resistance organizations fighting each other, the Eastern people can always gather together and make a big one.

And in terms of technology, these rebels who occupy the second ladder with the plateau back and launch a counterattack against the empire from west to east are not isolated and helpless.

After the Germans completed the comprehensive suppression of Europe, a large number of former Eastern European scientists and technicians ran to the caves and translated countless technical drawings and parameters into Chinese characters. A true, global proletarian union.

This led to the fact that the Asian empire lagged behind the Eastern uprising army in terms of excellent light infantry and ground artillery coordination in the late period.

On the black soil in the north, the group of millipedes who hugged geishas every day, degenerate, called the flowers of the empire, but were actually weak, perfectly stepped on the big pit of the avalanche of combat power in the late period of countless small dynasties (Jin, Liao, Yuan) in China for 5,000 years.

Among the countless failures in the late period, the most frustrating thing for scholars on the main island of the empire was that the fifth and sixth tank divisions with a long history were directly surrounded and annihilated in Fengtian, and the imperial navy bombarded Tashan for four days and four nights, but failed to open a rescue channel.

So-before the soul was packed.

Shan Zhen lamented the ideological division of the Asian empire like lamenting the falling of cherry blossoms, which made Neon lose the only chance to become the protagonist. ——Of course, after learning more about the historical lines, he saw the worse future of the main world (for him, Japan being a dog of the United States is a worse future).

He could only acquiesce - the protagonists of Earth civilization are the Eastern and Western civilizations of the World Island, and Japan's final fate can only be to choose one to integrate.

Oh, this moment is just like that moment.

In this alien world, "technology" and "industry" are strong ones competing on an equal footing, and machinery is a middle party that is difficult to be independent.

Shan Zhen doesn't know what his long-term goal is, he just needs to do something. Pretend to know the goal. Well, show some passion.

~

‘Machines’ are running mechanically, while ‘industry’ and ‘science’ are verifying and predicting the situation of ‘machines’.

The Southern Chamber of Commerce, these colonial troops summoned from the countryside, are equipped with muskets from the Northern Territory in 1981.

This type of firearm uses a 20mm caliber low-speed heavy bullet. As for these soldiers holding muskets, their training level is equivalent to the militia of the Northern Territory five years ago.

The range of the bullet can kill unarmored targets at a distance of two hundred meters. It can basically achieve the effectiveness of archers.

The soldiers in these troop transports were bankrupt farmers and unemployed people in various parts of the southern part of the main continent a year ago.

The industrial finished muskets and bullets have accelerated the training speed of this type of standard long-range troops.

Please note: fast training speed means low cost. The cost is not only based on the price of equipment and training consumption, but also the comprehensive social cost.

It takes two to three years to train an archer. Then the lord cannot give up such an archer casually. He needs to continue to be responsible for the livelihood of the archer and let him become a soldier.

The musketeers can be formed into an army within three months with sufficient food, strict discipline, and live-fire drills. Then, after the war, they can be quickly disbanded and sent back to society to serve as a young labor force. There is no need to bear the maintenance cost.

~

The North is the region with the highest degree of popularization of basic natural education, and there are no such militias. ——In the Red Sun simulation, the United Industry has very high requirements for the quality of human resources for war preparation.

Under the productivity of the North Industry, it is better to popularize education rather than wasting economic potential and engaging in such militias.

The reserve forces in the United Industry who receive public meals must know more than 100 runes and pass the assessment before they can stay in office.

And even such reserve forces operate gunpowder weapons, which are rapid-fire weapons such as "Chicago Typewriter".

As for the regular troops in the Northern Territory, all of them have popularized "shoulder cannons", "magnetic metal spears", and "energy shields".

Shoulder cannons: On the frame of the whole body exoskeleton, a two-ring energy beam weapon is installed on the shoulder.

Magnetic Metal Spear: This is a baton-like weapon in a converged state. It unfolds like a tape measure and is ejected to a length of eight meters, but it is different from the main world material. This "weapon strengthened by the magnetic field in an instant" is very hard within five seconds of unfolding. It is similar to the three-ring strengthening technique. ——Using this thing against light infantry of the same level is like stacking A4 paper into spikes in the main world, which can pierce cans.

Energy Shield: The same principle as the magnetic metal spear, the material is also very small, and it is strengthened and unfolded under the action of energy. A translucent shield with a diameter of 1.5 meters is formed on the arm.

~

The basic plate of "machinery" - the Southern Chamber of Commerce, is obviously not as generous as the two major powers in the north. It can only choose relatively cost-effective but actually backward weapons to carry out poor imperialism against the more backward southern continent.

Regarding the fact that southern merchants can launch expeditions with second-hand equipment, the generals of the Northern Industrial Party who hold mechanized troops are unwilling to accept it.

The thoughts of those ghost fire boys back then are: I have such good equipment, but I can't move due to the situation. The south can use our obsolete equipment to change the situation.

Similarly, some arcane generals in the Truth Alliance have the same idea.

In terms of tactical magic cannons, the giant cannons installed on the battleships of the Southern Chamber of Commerce are second-rate, and the first-rate high-energy magic cannons are all on standby at key fortress positions.

There are space transmission arrays (quantum channels) between the fortresses of the Truth Alliance, and magic cannons can be transmitted at various positions.

In terms of vehicles, the Truth Alliance has studied suspended warships, which are about more than 6,000 tons each, allowing two to three magic cannons to fire on such warships.

The average price of one ship is 100,000 gold coins! The economy of the Suspended Austrian Alliance has made great progress, but the annual tax revenue is calculated in gold coins, which is 8 to 9 million, and it can only maintain five ships. (The total fiscal tax revenue of the United Industry is 30 million.)

It can be seen that the Truth Alliance is also equally vigilant about a certain "imaginary enemy".

~

In the calculation of "technology", "industry" is now too powerful and not in balance.

The economic scale of the Industrial Party is three times that of the Truth Alliance. With huge steel and piled-up heavy mechanized troops, this is definitely not something that the Truth Alliance can clear with a wave of battle arcane weapons.

High technology can suppress quantity with quality, but Wei Keng is catching up so vigorously, and the quality advantage of "science" may not be able to suppress the quantity advantage of "industry".

Last year, the Truth Alliance obtained the main battle armor of the Northern Territory through special channels, the 250-ton "Heavy Knight (Iron Pagoda)" heavy armored vehicle.

It uses a triple-mounted turret, adhering to the requirement that large caliber is truth, and the rune tungsten bullets engraved with the effects of "penetration" and "immersion" are enough to smash through any castle fortress of the Xuan Ao Alliance.

At the armor level, the electromagnetic shield, ceramics, and steel armor composite structure are densely packed with protective runes. The overall structure can withstand more than three high-level magic cannons.

~

In addition, the organizational ability of the Industrial Party is something that needs to be considered in the confrontation, in addition to technical and economic factors.

In the year 2284 of the Fengfu calendar, the Xuanao Alliance came up with the "ground suspension theory" in order to build a suspended warship, that is, to make the ground airflow form liquid rigidity under the energy shaping spell, so that large vehicles can sail on dry land.

Carret's United Industries was very fast and also introduced this technology, and after a special attack

This technology of the United Industries is not used on large suspended vehicles. Instead, a special tactical paving team was established. Let a group of lightly equipped chariots with a weight of only about five tons cast spells on the road while driving, so that the airflow on the road temporarily appears "rigid" air axis, and the effect is like a "roller air column" appears on the road, which can support the heavy unit's "sliding".

Therefore, the heavy armored cluster of the United Industries can be strategically maneuverable. It goes without saying who is planning such a strategic capability.

The United Industries can make the road temporarily suspended by air on low-standard roads or even plains, consuming 30 tons of coal-fired electricity for every 50 kilometers, so that a brigade of more than 20 "heavy knights" can slide and roll on the road.

The three major corps of the Industrial Party maintain a total of about 800-900 "heavy knights". In the Red Sun Exercise, they also practiced multiple routes going south at the same time to fight against the possibility of armed invasion by the "Blue Army's imaginary enemy". That scene was like a sandstorm going south.

~

Now that ‘industry’ and ‘science’ are competing, if the pattern of World War I is followed, when both sides have made a large number of military allies, the entire Fengfu Continent will definitely fight.

But Carret’s strategy is very conservative. He does not provide military protection to the southern trading parties and has no substantial military allies. Although he seems to be alone, he also reduces the risk of being passively involved in the war, and in fact has the freedom to selectively participate in the war (don’t say I didn’t warn you).

Saenz, who was also born in the main world, also has a deep historical memory of this.

After all, after the end of recent history, the Mediterranean civilization and the Great River civilization have collided many times, and they have an understanding of both sides.

He also curbed the possibility of the hawks on the side of the Xuanao Alliance playing the military card against the north.

Once they are affected by hot events and forced to play the military card, it is very likely that they will be swallowed up by the Eastern strategists at the wrong time and place.

This will have a chain effect in the region, and will have a drastic negative effect like a domino.

~

In short, Saenz was also helpless by Wei Keng.

"Science, industry, and machinery" should maintain a delicate balance during development

Saiens's point of view: Only when their own camps show a delicate balance, the gods will not dare to act rashly, and as long as the gods do not act in the short term, the future will belong to the new gods. But this balance must be grasped by oneself.

Saiens has completed the Internet technology between the arcane towers,

and this Internet has begun to spread downwards. In the information age, large-scale new information extensions have appeared in the mutual communication of the information age. The massive information proliferation that has already appeared in the etheric world has made the growth of the etheric world a hundred times higher than any time in the past.

In this way, in the future civilization, science and technology will dominate the information proliferation under the virtual network, allowing Fengfu Planet to grow into a high-end belief planet.

This-the more you think about it, the more total faith you will have. Building several large-scale game worlds such as "World of Warcraft" and "Jianwang" for hundreds of years, the Fengfu Continent with information explosion, the thickness of the etheric world may not be less than that of a large world with multi-layer dungeons.

~

When preparing to do this task, Saiens had already conceived the development of the situation:

Industry provides the real material basis for maintaining informatization.

Machinery - controls the most ruthless cold power and outputs symbols.

And "science" controls the source and steers the development.

Once the new era is completed, the old gods can be pushed aside. ——The concepts of the old gods will be dispersed by a large number of new concepts. Only the gods who control the basic concepts such as wealth and trade, night and dawn can be spared.

~

In this plan, Sainz set "science" as the dominant position, chose the "science" godhood, and then used skills to win over and build an alliance.

You know, before sending the invitation letter to Wei Keng, he took Shan Zhen as an ally first.

[Saiens has always been vigilant that Wei Keng may form an alliance with Shan Zhen, and both parties are from the Eastern system. Well, in fact, Bai Linglu really has this consideration. Master Wei insists on "Sun Yamamoto Immortal" and excludes Neon when making plans. 】

When Sainz determined that "industry" was isolated, he thought he had a sure win.

But he never expected that this "industry" would develop blindly, as a "high-end arcane field crusher, and push forward too fast." Narrator: From Wei Keng's perspective, he is always catching up and must be humble and cautious.

Sainz found that "Carret" was more difficult to deal with than he thought.

He began to re-evaluate "Carret" and found that this competitor could not be defeated by small means. Quite opinionated,

Sainz looked back and recalled that in the first meeting, he did not make Wei Keng obey his strategy at all. And the subsequent development was always unambiguous in the competition in various fields. (The Bailinglu team's humble evaluation: Although he is very troublesome, he will never lose face.)

Nowadays, "industry" has directly built the meridian railway line southward, connecting through the continent, dumping a large number of basic consumer goods, and accelerating the flow of technology to the north.

Sainz fell into a passive position. The leadership of "science" encountered the oppression of the backbone of "industry".

In the military field, the offensive technology developed by the Alliance of Truth encountered mutual deterrence from the "industrialized combat readiness counterattack system" established by the United Industries, and they could not play the military card.

Economically! The Xuanao Alliance is at a disadvantage. Yes, Sainz had to admit that the Eastern industrial concept is more comprehensive in the planning of the total production chain.

He calculated it in a mathematical formula. As long as there is no major change, "Science" can attract 1% of the population on Fengfu Continent, and "Industry" can mobilize the remaining 80% of the population.

Even if the probability of 1% of the elite population breaking through the high-level magician (seven rings) is seven times that of "Industry".

The total value controlled by the Xuanao Alliance in the labor value-added chain still cannot reach one-third of the value chain controlled by the comprehensive education system of the United Industry.

The large-scale collaborative concept of Eastern industry can make "quantity" defeat "quality".

~

Therefore, if "Science" wants to break through, it can only play the resource card.

But it cannot be played by the Xuanao Alliance, but let "Machinery" play this card as an agent.

Occupy the south, control more and broader resource chains, and exert influence on industry from upstream high-tech and resources. But-this war material still needs to be bought from "Industry".
