Chapter 260, Chapter 7.42 Oversight, Correction.
July 14 to 18, 3599 in the Fengfu calendar.
The four-day battle in the south of the Kingdom of Egg finally ended with the victory of the Kingdom Knights, but the brutality of this battle shocked all parties on the continent.
In order to encircle and suppress these undead rebels, the Kingdom Knights paid a heavy price. Among the most elite Imperial Griffin Corps, 134 people were swallowed by the ghost hot air balloon. Even if the friendly forces penetrated the ghost hot air balloon at the fastest speed, they found nothing except the rotten corpse stench and the ashes after burning.
The ground dragon formation led by Prince Danny encountered the obstruction of the strange machinery when attacking the camp of the undead corps, and one-third of them were injured.
When the huge chain saws of the strange machinery swung down with negative dark energy, as soon as they touched the armor of the ground dragon, it was like a kitchen knife cutting a can. Then, a clamp suddenly popped out from under the rusty cover of the strange machine, ejecting bone fragments and clamping out the internal organs of the earth dragon. The scene was very bloody.
~
The negative energy level of these strange machines reached the fifth ring. At this energy level, although it did not give people the feeling of molten heat, the steel had "melted" and the metal lattice structure was loosened, like milk skin.
~
42 earth dragon knights died in the battle. But the kingdom's legion eventually broke through the steel defense line of the undead legion.
However, in the ordinary spearmen, the undead death musketeers caused 4,000 casualties. The burning phosphorus fire, corrosive sulfuric acid, or maggots, these different effects of damage when they broke out on the victims, almost caused the front troops to collapse. Thanks to the large-scale divine purification, the battle line was stabilized.
Finally, the rebels were completely undead in the encirclement battle, unfolding a dark purple-green magic circle and making the final sacrifice. Countless drills with blood poured out from the ground and attacked the human ground dragon formation, crushing the bellies of more than a hundred ground dragons.
But the last magic of the undead did not save the defeat.
As the leaders of the resistance army were sniped by the arcane beam, the undead army finally collapsed and disintegrated because the negative spiritual energy they maintained was exhausted.
And this time it was a real encirclement and annihilation, leaving no undead branch to break through.
After paying a heavy price, the Egg Empire ended the mechanical rebellion in the south.
The Duke of Golden Blade died in this battle. The cause of death was that in order to protect Danny, he drove the Thunder Lizard to collide with a strange machine and was swallowed by the black flames after the strange machine exploded.
~~
After the rebellion in the south ended, detailed news reached the north, and it seemed that there was no ripple. It's just that the apprentices in the north found that the prices of their arcane rune cards were lowered by the merchants who bought them.
However, the price reduction was temporary. After a few months, the prices of these runes rose again.
The market for apprentice runes in various parts of the continent did not shrink, but expanded. ——The rebels took these runes and made weapons, demonstrating to the small forces in various regions of the continent what "times have changed".
Now on the Fengfu Continent, only the "General Industrial Plan" under Carrett has strengthened the governance of the vast rural areas outside the big cities.
In other areas of the continent, there is no direct governance of areas far away from the city, including the areas outside the big cities of the Xuan Ao Alliance. The rural areas are alienated from the central government.
The main world in the recent ancient times is also like this. If it is not well governed, there will always be things like homemade guns, controlled knives, and illegal associations.
The local small lords soon began to update their weapons and used these homemade weapons in the fights in the countryside.
The fights on the entire continent have entered a new era.
~
Regarding the battle of suppression and counter-suppression in the south,
Wei Keng fell silent after getting the final detailed information.
It was not a pity for the resurrection of the Aig Dynasty-Master Wei likes to eat melons, but he doesn't expect big melons every day.
It was not a shock for the death of the Duke of Golden Blade-this old man died, the balance in Aig will definitely be broken, and the Northern Territory will also be involved. But it's no big deal.
The fluctuation of Wei Keng's emotions was due to the route of the rebels.
Although Wei Keng proved in his historical evolution model that "if there is no strong will to promote", all historical events will eventually deteriorate.
But the deterioration of the rebels, from victims to perpetrators, and then to extremes, still made Wei Keng speechless.
This uprising lacked "positive promoters" and a large number of "reversers".
~
This is equivalent to that in the recent ancient times, when encountering unfair events, most people wanted an open and fair solution, but a small number of people on the Internet could use these events to deviate the rhythm. As a middle-class person, as one of the majority, Wei Keng found that in the trend he created, he could only watch the trend being maliciously led astray by the "reversers".
For example, every time he fought back against the popularity of island culture, there would always be radical incidents, which were seized by the pro-Japanese faction and evaluated from "another angle" in a "rational" way.
And domestic brands, such as mobile phones and electric vehicles, want to promote, but there are always "blown guys" who come out to make the trend irrational, giving opponents the opportunity to "rationally criticize".
Oppose letting pets occupy public space, there are things that "maliciously attack search and rescue dogs", providing a starting point for multi-angle communication.
~
Industry can crush open enemies.
However, in the process of history, you will always encounter something that wants to join you, and then seems to follow your trend, but deliberately creates perverse ideas. Leave a handle for reversing, so that other competitors can criticize.
The industrialization of the world of Austrian magic,
There will also be such people with ulterior motives, who make such comments: I am also a witness to the development of industry, and I know everything, but I always feel that I lack xxx, maybe I only pay attention to xxx, and there is no real xxxx.
The devil mixed in the order likes to use this trick.
Originally, most of the rebels in the south just wanted to push their big car on the road of pursuing justice.
But the devil who lured the rebels to sign a contract, from the perspective of a hitchhiker, accused you of not being a good car.
In this mechanical rebellion, those devils who made trouble seemed to be on the same track as the rebels, but in fact they never planned to help the rebels push the car, but just wanted to turn the rebels into cars, and then reverse and drive into the abyss.
~
Wei Keng shook his head and ended his thinking in this regard.
Let's continue with the analysis on the other side: the problems revealed by this uprising.
First, when this great uprising finally deteriorated into madness, the power it displayed came from "industry", which is the dark side of "industry".
If there were no large number of rune seals flowing into the south, the farmers would still be using dung forks. If there were no large number of machines flowing into the south and being used maliciously by capitalists, it would be impossible to create such strange machines with such amazing destructive power on the battlefield.
Although Wei Keng did not cause malicious destruction, this was a mistake as an industrial priest.
~
As for "science", was it a mistake? Or "malicious connivance"?
Among the three major priesthoods, science should be the pioneer to break through the fog of dark superstition, industry should be the backbone to pull the vast majority of people into progressive cooperation, and machinery should be the accumulation of production, and the embodiment of civilization progress.
There is a division of labor among the three parties. ——But in this incident, the "science" priesthood did not play a role first.
When the resistance army was large-scale, the concept of thinking still remained in the small peasant economy and the expectation of traditional righteous gods!
When the temple of the god of justice took sides and stood on the side of the nobles, the rebels urgently needed a new belief, or a banner to call for action, but "science" did not appear.
If Wei Keng had failed to supervise the development of "industry", then Sainz had been blatantly derelict in his duty in the development of "science".
If Sainz really did this on purpose, then he would have created an obstacle on his way to truly integrating the godhood.
~
Continuing to trace back, during the "Great Siege" period when the rebels were suppressed by the kingdom,
the arcane emitter used by the kingdom army to curb the "food making technique" in the whole city now has enough evidence to prove that it came from the Xuan Ao Alliance.
Its principle is to stabilize carbon dioxide and hinder certain specific creation techniques by controlling the chemistry of the area.
This large-scale arcane equipment can only be produced in the industrial zone in the north and the Arcane Alliance in Xuan Ao City on the entire continent.
On the Industrial Party side, it is used for agriculture, for example, to allow 100% of the atmospheric charge in a storm to participate in nitrogen fixation conversion. At present, the technology of the Industrial Party is actually one generation behind that of the Alliance of Truth. After such large equipment is exported, it still needs after-sales maintenance by the manufacturer's personnel. As for the maintenance-free fool-type equipment that the Kingdom Army will use, the United Industrial's own market is in short supply and needs to be imported from the Alliance of Truth. It is impossible to sell such equipment.
With the subsequent "clue investigation" (the exploration method of mysticism), it has been determined that the arcane equipment that suppressed the southern uprising was produced by the arcane organization in the "Land of Whispers" in the southeast of the Alliance of Truth.
In other words, the reason why the rebels were short of food and finally had to choose to make a contract with the devil was the intervention of "external forces".
~
Of course, Master Wei does not have clear evidence to testify against Sainz! Or the information that Wei Keng has is not enough to overthrow Sainz.
(This kind of silence often makes the conspirators feel that they are flawless.)
For example, in ancient times, a certain lung disease appeared in the world. At that time, countries had no evidence, but they all suspected a country with the most biochemical laboratories in the world.
Bai Linglu has already started to investigate this matter. She is much more active than Master Wei in this regard. And she caught Sainz's motive - that is, he wanted to gain leadership among the three major priests.
Bai Linglu: "As for the evidence, it is easy to check. As long as we find this machine and analyze the information residue, we can find its production channel, and then find people, and give it protection in the name of the godhead, which is enough to dig out the cause and effect."
Master Wei: "No need to do this, you have these evidences in your hand, and you can just have a verbal battle in the end."
Bai Linglu paused and wanted to say something. Finally, he whispered "Yeah". Bai Linglu knew that Wei Keng was holding back this question because he and his supervisors had a card in hand.
~
Beyond Wei Keng's will, after the end of the war to suppress the rebellion in the south, the situation continued to develop.
August 4th
Prince Danny returned to the capital with the troops who went south to suppress the rebellion. He was wearing a black robe, which was the mourning dress of this world, not a plain robe.
He buried the body of the Duke of Golden Blade in the cemetery of the Golden Blade family, and brought the Duke's relics to the capital and delivered them to the temple.
The death of this old man made him very sad.
This war gave him a belief that he must put an end to the origin of the tragedy.
~
Danny, wearing armor, came to the main hall and explained the experience of this bloody battle to the king, his grandfather.
When the king comforted him, he asked him what reward he wanted.
The prince said sadly: "Your Majesty, I don't need any reward, I just hope that the loyal and brave warriors can rest in peace. - And this disaster comes from greed. Our greed for machinery has made us forget our own people. , I hope that every year on this day, the empire can stop all the machinery so that the heroic spirits on this land can spend a quiet day."
The king looked at his grandson and didn't know how to respond. After a long time, he said: "Danny, I understand how you feel. Just have a good rest."
~
The occurrence of historical events is the result of the participation and fermentation of many factors.
The fate of the capital city of Aige is arranged by the gods.
Therefore, when a mortal is in a crucial position, whether he wants to be a villain or not does not depend on himself, but on "fate." ——The arrangement of 'fate' will cause some mortals to become villains inexplicably.
[Of course, some of the ‘Middle Man’s’ have so many cards in their hands that they can’t be classified as villains no matter what. It’s just that for the gods of the order system, this divine choice is just lying there, not making strides on the upright path, so it must be urged]
Prince Danny, heir to the Xingche family, offered an "objective" view on industrialization. His attitude sparked a lot of immediate reactions.
In the capital of Egg, the anti-industrial forces are strong!
Most people in the territory of the old forces have not reaped the dividends of industrialization. The dividends were eaten up by the royal family and the great nobles. The arcane mages in the royal capital, as well as the small and medium-sized nobles, were very dissatisfied. These contradictions were suppressed simply because they could not openly oppose the royal family.
Now that the heir to the royal family has proposed anti-industrialization (in fact, Danny did not propose it, but the crafty machinery left a bad impression on him), this wave started almost instantly.
With the circulation of newspapers in the capital of King Aige and the performance of minstrels at the opera house, a wave of sound emerged.
The nobles of the royal capital raised a new voice, wanting to tax products from the northern industrial territories to make up for the damage caused by the rebellion in the southern territories.
~
One-third of the nobles who are now in power in the royal capital are from the new generation. They don't care whether the agreement signed between the royal capital and the northern industrial territory meant that they had taken advantage of it.
They don’t even understand the “power balance back then” and the “power balance today”.
All they know now is that they are in pain, and they have to find a place where they don’t feel pain to get injections and medicine. ——They still regard the Northern Territory as their vassal.
~
Under the integrated infrastructure system composed of complex systems such as the Meridian Railway and the energy network, information from various places will quickly converge.
The sudden voice in King Aige's capital quickly spread to the northern territories, and then a corresponding trend arose.
The new generation of politics in King Aige are dissatisfied, and the new generation in the Industrial Party are also dissatisfied!
All the agreements between the United Industries and the Royal Capital are old agreements from twenty years ago.
The current population in the northern industrial territory is fully 1.8 times that of other areas in Aige. The local basic agricultural output value alone is three times that of other areas in Aige. Not to mention the industrial output value, which is almost dozens of times.
As for the military, although there has been no war for more than ten years, military exercises have been developed year-round and the technology is advanced, so it has the confidence to face any force in the mainland. Even if the opponent masters a large number of "battle destruction spells".
Now King Aige appears out of nowhere and wants to collect taxes from the northern territories? I really don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is.
These new generations are eager to immediately cut off the aid to the Aige Capital and then end the "market subsidies for industrial product exports."
However, all these ambivalent emotions were once again suppressed by the leaders of the Northern Territory.
In August 1999, Carret, as the Grand Duke of the Northern Song Leader, privately mourned the death of the Southern Golden Blade Duke. He also promised Wangdu to further "control the safety of machinery" and implement a "machine operator" grade assessment system on the mainland. (Just like taking a driver’s license test, you need to have a certificate)
In terms of production and sales, we will stop providing machinery to unlicensed parties.
~
When faced with the questioning of the aggressive central administrative staff of the industrial zone,
Having just finished the arcane experiment, Carret (Wei Keng's split), wearing white work clothes, slowly explained: "When conflicts arise, all parties often have cognitive errors. Let's first put forward the things we should improve. Get rid of mistakes first, and when we deal with them, we can face conflicts calmly. Don’t worry, no one can escape the problem. The only thing that matters is who is willing to solve their own problems first.”
The administrator criticized King Aige with dissatisfaction, and Wei Keng smiled inwardly: "As a mortal, I can't help but compete with others. Of course, I also want to compete with others, but I have to take responsibility for it afterwards. This can't be the case. ”
Wei Keng followed the United Industry executives' attack on the royal capital and went one step further: "Including the Xingche family, the entire Aige aristocratic system has problems. Now they blame us for the problem, but their problems are actually bigger. .
Now, I am by no means admitting to the charges they gave me.
At the same time, when denying the charges they give you, you cannot argue with "guilty" or "not guilty." Please note that when your opponents give you true-false or multiple-choice questions, they are already covering up and distorting your claims.
Even if you win the debate and prove that "you are absolutely not responsible and perfect", it is still a failure because of the loss of humility. There is no perfection in this world. When you say "absolutely nothing", you have already embarked on the road of stubbornness.
We should focus on the position of "whether the same type of events will happen in the future" and ask ourselves "whether we can deal with it better next time."
[When wrestling with gods, you must have your own opinions. ——As the main traverser of the second plane war in the main world, he is completely different from those packagers. Wei Keng is very stubborn. 】
~
Regarding how to govern the dark side of "industry", Wei Keng took out his own prescription.
For example: All mechanical operators must pass the examination and get a certificate! Only then can they buy machinery.
This is not a problem for "industry" with strong social mobilization.
Although in the industrial territory, almost every farmland has a tractor and every town has a grain mill, but under industrial governance, the operators in the village are strictly trained under the supervision of the governance officer. When Carret was just industrializing, "safe production" was the responsibility of the person.
After this policy was issued, the workers in these villages just had to review again, take the exam, and get a certificate.
But what about other areas of Eger?
Wei Keng: In the world of Austrian magic, the machinery manufactured by "industry" cannot be spread at will.
