Chapter 270 Chapter 7.52 Newly opened ( )
Starting from 3605, the Kingdom of Eger on the Fengfu Continent has undergone profound changes. ——"Industry" tries to push the fruits of this victory in the direction of historical progress.
Looking back at history, between 3583 and 3600, the Industrial Party in the North accumulated a lot of capital through trade when the Southern Merchant Group was exploring the New World.
In the fast and effective war in 3603, both sides only consumed the fur. In the war zone in Eger that was most affected by the Great Encirclement, only the old castle was demolished, and it was not bombed into a wasteland, and a large number of strong laborers were forced to surrender in the encirclement, and there were not many casualties.
Therefore, the Industrial Party was able to calmly invest in roads and basic light industries in the non-industrial areas of Eger after the war.
In the new urban area around Aige, when hundreds of thermal energy spinning machines (the pipelines here use not electricity but superfluids at 500 degrees) and the hot steam flow spews out white yarn, social culture has also changed accordingly.
Light industry such as clothing products can activate a large number of labor forces in Aige King City.
After the consumption of the Aige noble mansion declined, not only did the large number of idle manpower not cause chaos, but Aige King City even needed to absorb more labor from the surrounding areas.
After the Industrial Party came to power, not only did the textile industry rise,
but many new light machinery were produced. For example, pedal bicycles, refrigeration machines that accumulate "ice" heat energy and emit runes, display screens for projection display,... and other products quickly brought people's lives from the Middle Ages into a new era.
Four-story square residential buildings and department stores comparable to royal palaces appeared in the city, and buses on the streets traveled through various platforms every morning at the hour. The citizen class surrounding the lords and merchant groups began to disappear, and the working class gradually became the mainstream of the newly built city. The streets are full of people wearing uniforms from various workshops.
~
In the history of magic development in the past, these household magic machines were "luxury goods" for civilians.
However, the "industry" led by Wei Keng took a completely different path from Western culture in the creation of consumption structure.
Wei Keng: Industrial consumption cannot be linked to individualism.
In the early stages of industry, the consumption power of a worker is not enough, but most workers live in groups. With a salary scale of 50 people, they can buy such a household appliance together during holidays.
If every 50 people can buy one, it will be easy to form an initial market, providing such household appliance companies with valuable initial living space.
The expansion of light industry has reduced the price of the product to the point where 10 people can buy one, a family of five can buy one, and finally a family can buy several.
Therefore, such household appliances in the early days did not need fancy functions, but were durable and durable, and could still operate after being used by dozens of people for more than ten years.
~
Looking back at the ancient times of the main world. At that time, global trade seemed to be a big development, but in fact, there were very few newly emerging industrial countries.
The reason why East Asia was able to rise in the later period and did not fall into the trap of middle-income development is that it tried to open up the industrial product consumption market among its own industrial class from the beginning.
The first batch of televisions and washing machines were used by neighbors in workers' apartments to complete the development of the internal market.
Instead of blindly looking for external markets such as "Europe and the United States" with high personal consumption capacity like the four little dragons.
In the early stage of the information revolution in the ancient times, it was extremely difficult to cultivate a market where the world's capital concentration was high in Europe and the United States, so that individual families could consume household appliances.
Large countries such as India and Indonesia in South Asia wanted to learn the path of the four little dragons, but they found that they could not catch up.
The country fell into such a vicious circle. On the one hand, it could not change the low wages in the country by attracting foreign investment. Its internal consumption could not afford new energy vehicles, solar photovoltaic panels, and smart devices, and it could not build an internal circulation, so it could only continue to work hard on the already public technology and work hard in the sunset industry without profit.
The update and iteration of its advanced products can only be highly dependent on external markets such as East Asia, North America, and Europe.
And how can the high-end market abroad allow you, a foreign "business genius", to make a fortune?
~
As early as 3600, before the war with the capital began, Wei Keng had planned the route of the next round of production chain of Egg.
The light industry strategy deployed by Carret, especially the household magic device industry, did not target the market of the arcane mages (the Xuan Ao Alliance) and the nobles from the beginning.
Even if you can get a big bargain of "several gold coins" by selling a refrigerator to the arcane mages and nobles!
But the arcane mages of the Xuan Ao Alliance spend a high price to buy these daily necessities, and then they will raise the price of high-level runes and smooth out the trade deficit. Then they will join forces with the nobles to raise the price of food raw materials, so the industrial workers of light and heavy industries will work hard for a year, right?
But now their own light industrial chain does not make money from outside, and also prevents the Xuan Ao Alliance from directly purchasing with gold coins.
If "Science" wants to intervene in the control of Egg's light industry chain, it must reduce the price of the supply of high-level runes to "Industry" to seize the market, so that it can use the industrial currency currently circulated by Egg to intervene in Egg's current light industry investment.
Once they dare to raise the price of high-level runes, and "Industry" happens to find a substitute through independent research and development, their market will be lost, and the capital chain in Aigner will be broken. At this time, the light industrial production line previously controlled by them will return to the hands of the industrial leader.
(Keyword: monetary sovereignty. In ancient times, Japan and South Korea did not have this sovereignty, and the US dollar could rush in and reap the harvest directly.)
Master Wei: Accounts have always been calculated from a big picture! Otherwise, you will be rolled to death, and you will have to be filled with their chicken soup to make your "sense of happiness" super high.
The concept of "industry" constructed by Master Wei is first to ensure fairness in social development.
The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants enjoyed the shade, which is endless. Instead of running away after cutting a crop of leeks, and then calling it "seizing the opportunity to make the first pot of gold".
Wei Keng is wary from the bottom of his heart that "those who are covered in silk are not silkworm breeders."
~
The expansion of the industrial industry in 3608 is proceeding steadily. The wood stoves in each household in the city have become electric stoves.
The output of each light industrial production area is also increased according to the consumption capacity of internal workers. It is not put into production according to external needs.
That is the "backward" market interventionism that scholars have repeatedly criticized in the late 20th century.
Carret believes that Sainz, who was born in the west of the main world, is absolutely familiar with finance. —— Based on the attitude of guarding against him, Master Wei is unswervingly taking the path of characteristic development.
~
The script that Sainz wants to see most now is: industry expands production according to the needs of the external market, and then after the expansion, it is "done" for various reasons. Well, that is, according to the so-called "objective factors of market regulation", the goods of the "industrial manufacturing" party that "blindly expands production" suddenly cannot be sold, the capital chain is broken, and finally the capital that controls the upstream technology chain can only be directly "accepted" by the light industrial chain.
Wei Keng is familiar with such a script, not to mention the complicated case of "harvesting the four little dragons in the ancient times".
The text of "Buying Deer to Control Chu" in the Spring and Autumn Period. This text must be recited in full in the People's Education Press textbooks in the 1950s of the 21st century.
In other words, Chinese people who have gone through nine years of compulsory education will not be cheated by people in the Mediterranean civilization circle of the so-called "old-fashioned capital culture" when encountering such things.
~
After entering the new era, "industry, technology, and machinery" are still making progress.
'Industry' is far ahead. "Technology" has also begun to burn and add power.
In June 3609, Carrett drove a motorcycle with Danny who returned from the north. Under the lighted avenue, he introduced the greatly changed Aige Kingdom, leaving him to experience the principle of "sustainable development of industry" by himself.
Master Wei confirmed that the new king of Aige would be Xian Yuweixin. So he once again (and for the last time) attended the science-led meeting.
In this tripartite meeting, the seats behind Carrett were also full of people. These were all industrialists selected in the industrial battle five years ago.
Supplement: Danny was not among them. As the heir to the throne, from Wei Keng's principle, he is the product of compromise in this era. As long as he does not give up the kingship, he can only regard him as Carrett's nephew, not a true believer of "industry".
Sainz watched Carret arrive and first smiled and congratulated Egger on his great achievements in the past five years of development.
Oh, how sincere this congratulation is, that's another story.
In the ancient times, when the space agencies in the United States, China and Europe made major achievements in extraterrestrial exploration, they all congratulated each other on the surface, but turned around and said "to deal with radical competition".
Although Sainz covered it up well, Carret knew from his "unwillingness to talk about details" that he might be unhappy with many of his measures.
"Congratulations on progress" is only true if the other party is enthusiastic about coming up with many joint plans. And after the courtesy, he doesn't want to say anything. Then it has to be understood as "Little guy, you are so cruel, let's wait and see".
~
Carret didn't play tongue and lip with Sainz.
Bai Linglu knew: Wei Keng is very bad at this, but he is not stupid. Stupid means that he can't talk to others, and his thinking is led by others. Wei Keng can follow the direction others are running and make advance preparations.
Carret nodded to Sainz and went straight to the point: "Have you completed the construction of your Internet?"
Originally, he planned to take the trouble to explain the matters of the Northern Industrial Link Network. ——In the end, Carret took the initiative to fall into the lasso. This made Sainz's punch miss and he couldn't help but be alert.
As the spokesperson of science, he has stayed in this world for nearly seventy years. Sainz was impressed by the "industrial" agent.
Sainz's evaluation of Carret: "'Industry' is very meticulous and can be said to be watertight. Before any crisis comes, there are at least multiple preparation plans, and there are very few omissions. And now it is so smoothly connected with my plan. So-is he ready?"
"I hope that Internet links can play a major role in culture, education, work and entertainment."-Carret's scripted clichés made Sainz come back to his senses.
Sainz looked at the expression of Carret, the spokesperson of the Eastern diplomacy in the ancient times, and tried hard to analyze the meaning behind it.
But helplessly, he could not tell: "Some of my own preparations", how much did Carret know?
~
In 3609, the era of the Internet began.
But before the advent of this technological era, the industry in the north first started the transition to the local area network.
One after another, halo structures unfolded over the city. This is a variant of the six-ring permanent space gate, which is specially used to exchange information between large cities.
The role of the network is first to assist industrial production and meet the increasingly strong communication needs in life. —— Secondly, it is open to the outside world for information exchange.
Based on the development philosophy of "taking what is needed",
Think about what you really need before opening the door. If you don't know what you want, the bastards outside will give you chicken soup with cat shit, and then say it is a great medicine and tonic, and you will happily give them money.
The Internet can exchange information on industrial production, and on the other hand, it can also exchange "entertainment".
There are good and bad "entertainment". To deal with the bad, we cannot just block it, but develop competitors to compete with it.
~
In 3609, when the Internet in the Xuanao area was still working hard to increase bandwidth, internal Internet entertainment had already emerged in the northern industrial zone.
In major industrial zones, a kind of "paper model war" entertainment emerged.
On a piece of copperplate paper with a large number of energy lines engraved on it, the paper module is cut off, and then under the effect of the arcane force field, the two-dimensional module becomes a three-dimensional part, and then automatically assembled to become a mechanical model.
Each circuit in the cardboard will be precisely docked under the effect of the three-dimensional parts, and then docked in the energy network, allowing energy to drive in each part.
Then tanks, ray gunners, floating spacecraft, and submarine fighters are formed.
Such models are controlled by the user's mental power to form a military unit in a game.
Because it is very easy to get started, various parts only need "zero-level" arcane drive, and soon they have become popular among the new generation of teenagers.
And in the space gate, the specially reserved "4399 area" communicates with each other.
In the industrial age, when everything is quiet and peaceful, who can refuse a "Red Alert, StarCraft" hegemony?
Yes, there are tracked vehicles and machine gunners in it, but due to the diversity of paper models, there are also high-speed charging melee soldiers. When the charging speed is fast enough, the melee soldiers are also very strong.
The new king of Egg, Danny, is also quite enthusiastic about this. After all, his model is much better than most paper models.
So, taking advantage of this national craze, the paper model battle competition began.
~
Young people in various factory areas took their own zero-level paper models to participate in the auditions. In the auditions, they were all zero-level arcane paper models, so the number of people participating in the selection was very wide. And the model soldiers are not fixed. As long as they are at the zero level, they can be modified at will.
After the auditions, the representative team will be selected in each province, and at this time, the first-level paper model will be arranged for the promotion match.
After the first round of promotion, regardless of victory or defeat, the first-level paper model will be given to the representative team.
Then there is the second round, the third round, and each round will give the representative team a higher-level model.
By the fourth round, this is no longer a paper model, but it looks like paper, but it is actually a large amount of material, suppressed to a two-dimensional arcane puppet through the system of space.
In fact, at this step, it can be seen that this is actually a set of arcane inheritance. ——The arcane inheritance that Wei Keng has completed in this world in recent years is from the basic origami soldiers to the current card army.
In November 3, 609, the first paper model war is stirring up all the young people in Aig, like the enthusiasm of the World Cup in ancient times. People will witness the first battle champion, the seven-ring arcane card model, and this model will actually become a physical combat machine with a huge barrel on the field. The concept of autonomous entertainment on the industrial Internet has been successfully condensed.
Since then, the Internet of Aig and the Xuan Ao Alliance has finally been connected. The magicians under the command of "Science" have discovered that their plan has become less easy to implement in the "Industrial" cultural area.
~
In the underground observatory in the north, Carret looked at the Internet of the Southern Xuan Ao Alliance with a critical eye.
For a long time, the things that arcane mages play are more colorful than those of ordinary people. As the saying goes, as long as you are proficient in mysticism, you can directly visit the Succubus area of the Abyss as a brothel!
At present, the first group of people with sufficient Internet speed have appeared. Wei Keng started to post on various scientific forums of Xuan'ao Alliance, and went straight to the topic: "Industrial Internet Entertainment." This first generation of Internet celebrity, Master Wei is the best choice.
~
In this era, "industry" is accumulating wealth, "technology" is being innovative, and "machinery" is now colonizing.
The overall situation of the industrial revolution in the north has been determined, and the Xuan'ao Alliance has added several new mage towers.
In the Southern Chamber of Commerce, in addition to its efforts to maintain the replacement of newer and stronger battleships at sea, millions of troops are carrying out boring occupation work in the southern continent.
For these young soldiers who have spent their youth seeking wealth overseas and have no time for self-study, they really need something to numb them.
This is a common problem of the invading army. They lack constant ideals and pin their hopes on the gamble of "the enemy is easy to eliminate" instead of the "farming" work with stable input and stable returns. They need to soothe the huge pressure mentally.
Of course, if the pressure of "farming" is great enough, similar things are also needed to numb it.
[The social science data of the ancient times given by Bai Linglu says: In that period, many people kept cats and dogs as pets, and there was also a market for abusing cats and dogs.
The objective judgment of people in the 28th century: Humans have too much mental pressure, and abnormal release occurs. This is very common in the situation of general pressure on people in the recent ancient times. From childhood to adulthood, teachers and leaders are in the daytime, and parents and society look down on them at night. Even so, you still expect everyone to maintain a sunny attitude, what do you want? So instead of being dragged by emotions and criticizing "tyranny" in some animal abuse incidents, it is better to truly understand "violence" and face those who push it.
Regarding this judgment of people in the 28th century, Master Wei: "Well said, but it doesn't hurt your waist."】
Internet technicians communicate technology that belongs to high-end applications! But there are also low-end applications.
And in the colonial army in the south, they are the "little white mice" who undertake the high-tech downstream of the "Truth Alliance".
——When the stereoscopic projection girl group entertains the army with seductive dance moves, allowing soldiers to observe from various angles (emphasis: projection, you can stand on it to watch, squat below to watch, or even drill through to watch), these colonial soldiers who are fighting intensely in the southern continent will obey the orders of their superiors after venting their excess energy.
