Chapter 257 Chapter 7.39 Responding to the Disaster

Time flies, and the future is full of twists and turns.

When Wei Keng determined the direction and began to implement the plan in an orderly manner, there was no freshness of exploration. At the same time, after giving up all illusions, there was no fear of various emergencies in the future.

From 1992 to 1998, two more five-year plans were completed.

After the completion of the transportation hub of the Meridian, under the auspices of Carret, the Industrial Party completed the energy network plan covering the northern territory, reaching the Southern Suspended Alliance, and the southernmost port.

The rune technology of this world is a quantum tunneling energy network. It is not a new technology.

Even if there is no arcane rune, high-level arcane mages in other worlds (planets) directly mobilize energy from their own arcane towers, and they all use this technology.

The difference lies in the scale. The various equipment and technologies of industrial mass production on Fengfuxing make the energy supply far more extensive than the closed magicians on other planets.

Under the influence of "industry", it is not that a few arcane mages build their own arcane towers to provide "exclusive" energy supply for a small number of teleportation array locations.

Instead, it is the wind energy, geothermal energy, hydropower, and solar energy collected from various regions on the Fengfu planet.

Of course, these low-density energies also require a large number of cold and heat exchangers, wires, and photovoltaic panels to be processed into high-density energy. Then they are transmitted to major cities and major transportation lines.

This is equivalent to the gap between the 20th century when there were only thousands of telegraph rooms in Asia and the 21st century when one billion people have a mobile phone to send information.

The breadth, abundance, and detail of the energy network are closely related to infrastructure.

And the accumulation of infrastructure is like the old farmer bending down to pick up wheat ears in the fields again and again, which requires patience and a simple heart.

~

After 3598 years of the Fengfu calendar, under the guidance of the industrial will, the Northern United Industry built dozens of large geothermal power stations according to the plan every year. Salt extracted from seawater, molten salt, used for geothermal energy extraction, has become the most stable source of energy now.

Now the abundant energy in the energy grid is open to the public according to the IP allocation system.

After 95 years, as long as the arcane apprentices apply for a card, they can get three degrees of electricity consumption per day. ——Of course, arcane apprentices must work to charge.

The beneficiaries of industrialization in the new era praise the arcane industry, which quickly turned the Middle Ages into the end of the century.

The airship of the United Industry floated in the sky with a banner of "stable and improving".

But in fact, with the emergence of industry, the imbalance of economic development of the entire continent is harmful to the future development of industry.

Now even the arcane apprentices who work for "formal magicians" in the Xuan Ao Alliance feel that their lives are miserable. They spend more than half of the year following the meridian train to the north to work as migrant workers.

As for the people in the agricultural areas of the Aige Empire. With the advancement of modern productivity, they were quickly abandoned by the feudal lords who lacked governance capabilities, and a large number of escaped slaves appeared.

From the purpose of spreading ideas, these have to be blamed on "industry".

~

In the 3598th year of Fengfuli, Xiange City. It has developed into a modern city. Of course, due to Wei Keng's planning, the number of skyscrapers is not so large that it is oppressive.

Each district has wide avenues and rows of green plants. Only one skyscraper of hundreds of meters is allowed every three or four kilometers.

And such buildings are also public buildings, the property rights are held by the local public, and others can only rent them.

The reason for the dense skyscrapers in the New York model of the main world's lighthouse country is the comparison of real estate businessmen. After blowing up the bubble in the luxury area, they pile up as many floors as possible to increase their wealth.

In fact, the system required for an industrial city to maintain normal transportation, logistics, and industrial material transfer is not as complicated as that in the 21st century.

It's just that in the industrial age, in order to maintain the special status of the ruling class, special structures, financial, insurance and other settlement systems will be added for their own needs.

The luxurious hotels, guesthouses, and buildings in the city are not often used by 99% of the residents.

These facilities are specially provided for a small number of people to use, and they attract a large number of non-manufacturing people to enter the city to engage in the tertiary industry, consume the limited plannable resources in the city, and aggravate the internal circulation of all the middle and lower classes in the city.

A few people take advantage of the concentration of the city to control the largest population, and at the same time use their financial advantages to monopolize undervalued rural assets. When the same area of ​​real estate in the city can be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the surrounding real estate, the assets of the two places actually have a scissors gap that "cannot be refuted by any rhetoric".

Wei Keng came from the main world and experienced the Shenzhou plane. He deeply knew that "industry" is not perfect and has shortcomings.

In this world with the will of gods, don't expect "fate" to ignore the shortcomings of mortals. Gods are not so kind.

Therefore, Wei Keng set a standard line for the urbanization of the northern industrial territory-focusing on manufacturing as the core, and strictly prevent concentration for monopoly.

If a metropolis with tens of millions of people crowded together, 90% of them are not engaged in substantial production, this is improper industrial allocation and sickness.

Wei Keng: Industrialization for the purpose of asset concentration is the governance model of the governor of the Ansa colony. That is, "only care about taxes, not the life and death of the people in the territory. For example, when colonizing the South Asian subcontinent, when the territory was hit by a disaster, what they thought about was not disaster relief, but how to ensure that taxes did not fall. As for whether this is civilized or barbaric, the standards of shame in the East and the West are different." (The real version of the p-society player)

It is in line with the governance thinking of the East to develop industry for a stable life.

3598 years later, after observing that the contradictions in the entire continent were getting bigger and bigger, Wei Keng began to spread the construction to secondary towns and small towns in the United Industry, and connected them through good roads, energy, communications, and infrastructure.

In this situation, under the barbaric development provoked by "science" and "machinery", "industry" was forced to expand, and because of the large scale of industry, the problems encountered were also big.

As the contradictions in the southern capital became more and more serious.

Wei Keng was sure that his "industry" would definitely encounter "fate targeting".

Wei Keng, who did not believe in "pity" and "allies", was determined to consolidate his base.

Wei Keng: Facing the impact of the counter-current, as long as one flag is strong and unyielding, then there will always be the power to fight back.

The two development mindsets can be clearly seen on the remote sensing map of Fengfu Continent.

To the north of the Meridian Railway, the lights are relatively sparse and scattered, but there are lights in every area, and on the Truth Alliance side of the Meridian Railway. And the coastal commercial cities further south, have formed super bright light spots, but the surrounding areas seem a little timid.

For high-level arcane mages, the representative of the prosperity of arcane in the contemporary Fengfu world is the huge city shining with truth.

Pulling the bird's-eye view into the city of the Truth Alliance, the bizarre buildings are connected by force fields to various suspended laboratories. The arcane tower is no longer the arcane tower of the past. It is all geometric and abrupt and novel buildings (refer to the ancient times: the Big Pants Building).

In a city with such a huge number of buildings, all kinds of aircraft are running all over the streets. ——The floating sports car is the most low-key, and the rocket skateboard with a fairing is more coquettish.

What flying broom? Oh, those are all old-fashioned things. The arcane mages also pay attention to fashion.

When the nobles have abundant resources, they will demand good carriages and gorgeous clothes. In the past, the arcane mages had insufficient resources and could only live a simple life. Now that they have resources, they are quite avant-garde.

~

Compared with the Alliance of Truth, the Northern Industrial Party is a simple route.

Although high-rise buildings, power towers, and dams are built with huge amounts of money. However, there are very few floating sports cars to show the splendor of development. The city is still dominated by underground tracks and public transportation, and the main means of transportation in the countryside is still steam tractors.

Of course, there are also suspended aircraft, which are also used for public projects such as forest fire prevention, pest control, and land monitoring.

Unlike the "scientific" faction's unconventionality, the "industry" is adhering to standards.

In the northern coastline area of ​​the industrial territory, Wei Keng strolled barefoot on the beach full of pebbles and ice in his spare time. Measuring the changes of the sea breeze step by step.

At this time, Wei Keng no longer has a mechanical combat suit on his body. These creations that enhance physical strength are no longer needed for Wei Keng, who has already become a "human immortal".

In the past, he always wore a set of suits on his body, just for fun. Just like boys always like to hold a plastic sword when they are young.

Now Wei Keng is wearing the most ordinary work clothes, and the bowls and chopsticks for eating, the pens for writing, and the bicycles he rides are all the simplest things in the city.

The castle where he was born has been demolished by Wei Keng. Every brick has been burned again, and then mixed with the roadbed materials for road construction in various places to form an ordinary road. When the road is broken in the future, these construction wastes will become materials for land reclamation.

Now Wei Keng is doing this to minimize the "special items" that people sing.

The mysticism of the arcane plane can reconstruct heroes and summon their power based on the residual information of the "special items left behind". This is the medium for many large-scale arcane arts after the legend.

In mysticism: the more special and meaningful the item is, the more complete the summoning of the hero is.

Wei Keng is involved in the highest-level game, playing against the gods.

The power of the gods will tamper with the truth of the hero in these summons, and then reconstruct the parallel timeline.

In the "great arcana" that Wei Keng is about to build, "one's own truth" must be able to withstand the impact of "infinite influence in the future".

Complex etiquette and strange hobbies cannot resist speculation and correction.

So the "truth" left by oneself in the future is as simple as possible. It is best to make the world accustomed to ordinary performance.

Of course, such plainness is actually in line with Wei Keng's own nature,

that is: as a middle-class figure, in the trend of the times, standing and being pushed, or in the wind of retreat, lying down and not being led astray.

~

In December 3598, all villages in the north were fully electrified.

There are now Wei Kengs in dozens of places such as steel mills, chemical plants, and machinery plants, and Wei Kengs are working.

Pandora's split mode was now used by Wei Keng here. This was the "non-static cloning technique" that Wei Keng had studied.

[Nine-ring necromancy technique, stasis cloning: just like cloning, the difference is: when the original body is alive, the clone is in stasis and will not decay. Once the original body dies, the soul will be transferred to the clone and leave the stasis state. If a body has multiple clones, the soul will enter the clone that was created most recently. ]

Compared with stasis cloning, Wei Keng's clones are all active and connected by soul. Once one individual dies, all individuals will be implicated by the soul and die. Compared with stasis cloning, this technique has lost its life-saving value and even increased the risk.

However, after Wei Keng recognized his direction, the purpose of using this arcane technique was not to save his life, but to live more brilliantly.

The brilliance of holding a spatula in one hand and a welding gun in the other.

Ten thousand years is too far, and we must seize the day.

~

In the current "industrial" development presided over by Wei Keng, the "grand" romantic atmosphere and "sacred sense of mission" when looking at the overall situation have been handed over to his students.

And I, in more and more places, have become like farmers who "work from sunrise to sunset".

Workers have to abide by more production disciplines than farmers, but once you get used to it, it's almost the same. Just like high school students have much more homework than elementary school students, but they feel the same about the bells. In these most basic positions, Wei Keng also abides by more and more rules. One by one, Wei Keng squeezes into the tram to go to and from get off work, reads newspapers, and collects iron cards. Melted with the spiritual atmosphere of ordinary people in this era.

In the future of Feng Fuxing, Master Wei will leave very difficult problems for mystics.

They can't find the "obvious material traces" (holy relics) of Carret's influence on the world. For example, swords, guns, armor, rulers, compasses, cloaks and the like.

But the "strong cause" that affects the world does exist. Since the beginning of the era, many changes in people come from this.

For example: the format of safety notes, the habit of drinking a glass of milk before visualizing the structure of industrial machinery.

There are also some inconspicuous habits. I was too tired after get off work, so I simply cooked a dish of "scrambled eggs and tomatoes" or played table tennis on a table if I felt a little sluggish.

As Wei Keng became more and more ordinary, the "great disaster against industry" was getting closer and closer.

Although the gods were covering up, the mortal heroes they had deployed could not cover up the intentions of their actions. Wei Keng did not perform the arcane art of "predicting fate", but based on the causes such as "the direction of development of social contradictions" and "class contradictions", he knew what some people wanted to do to him.

~

In the 3599th year of Feng Fuli, in the capital of Eger.

The old emperor of the empire handed over the deputy command of the family knights to his young grandson, Danny.

This year, the young man was only sixteen years old. He was extraordinary and heroic. Although young, he had already touched the threshold of the great knight.

The salute sounded in the capital, everyone put on their new clothes, and the streets were cleaned spotlessly.

The feudal sense of ritual and majesty is very strong, but the synthetic clothes and cheap colorful plastic flowers worn by the people make such a celebration without the mystery of the world of magic, but it is more like the red and white weddings of large families in second- and third-tier cities.

Compared with the middle-class culture derived from the explosion of productivity in the north, the "scientific competition" culture in the super-large cities of the Xuanao Alliance, and the "mechanical punk" culture of super-large gears, super-large transmission rods, and steel shell fortresses in the south.

The old kingdom forces that are being imported economically are the weak parties that are being imported culturally. The lower-middle class people did not enjoy the dividends of the times, so when they passively entered the new era, they could only follow the lead of the first-developed regions and bear more and more heavy pressure. The middle-upper middle-class nobles are connected to the consumption of the industrial age.

Oh, this is the "petty bourgeois style" that appeared in the middle class of underdeveloped countries in the ancient times, and the yearning for developed countries - standing at the lower end of the times and looking back, it will be quite funny.

~

Although the capital of Aige follows tradition, the royal family has always controlled capital. The output of its royal estates is increasing, and it monopolizes the natural resources of the mountains and rivers in the territory.

For example, in 3588, after the royal steward purchased the core power generation equipment from the northern industrial territory, he input electricity into the energy grid and earned a large amount of money from selling energy every year. As a result, the streets of the capital have become more and more empty in recent years, but the palace has become taller and taller.

In recent years, the knights' mounts have changed from war horses to ground dragons wearing heavy armor.

A tamed dragon weighing three to four tons consumes 50 kilograms of meat per day. As for the consumption in battle, it consumes more. In the past, the empire that unified an entire continent could not afford to support 1,500 heads at its most prosperous period.

But now, Aige has directly exceeded 2,000 heads.

In today's industrial age, the protein conversion rate in the agricultural age depends on "the technology of magical creatures such as giant rats catalyzed by arcane mages."

And the Northern Industrial Party has completed the technology of converting straw waste into protein through bacteria.

In this era, meat is very cheap, but the only drawback is that it contains very little life information, which makes people gain weight easily. In terms of attribute growth, it simply increases life value, with a small amount of strength, agility, and perception.

~

On the streets of the palace, heavy-armored ground dragons in steel walked neatly in the square, while in the sky, griffin knights weighing only 700 kilograms covered the sky and the sun, whizzing past with air currents that could clear the streets.

In this world with limited energy levels, the intelligence of the capital is still limited to the war between the Starlight Peninsula Joint Industry and the Sea Clan. In their impression, the understanding of the northern mechanical armed forces can only eject steam crossbows, and it is impossible for a shuttle of "88 guns" to appear. (Egg's intelligence network is much weaker than the Alliance of Truth.)

Therefore, in the eyes of the old nobles in the capital, these biological combat units with magical luster are still a considerable force.

The arcane hammer of the griffin knight smashes down a group of "heavy magnetic blocks".

This transparent energy group smashes down, just like a balloon filled with water exploding on the ground. Effect: All objects within a range of 15 meters will be subject to 5g fluctuation traction. ——The roller coaster feels only 1g, and the pressure caused by the reverse flow of blood on the heart is enough to choke. As for the arcane hammer, the power-type soldiers without magic protection will suffer twice the damage.

The wealth of the capital is increasing, and the personal wealth of the knights has not increased much. The shackles of loyalty to the lord prevent the knights from blaming the king. In addition, the king has given as many potions and wealth as possible in recent years.

The knight class, or the warrior class, is currently quite dissatisfied with the merchants and capitalists in Aigne.

The knight class in the contemporary capital has the urge to change the status quo through war.

Now, as Prince Danny gradually leads the army, all the knights are looking forward to the class stability brought by meritorious promotion and the redistribution of wealth in the kingdom.
