Chapter 448: A Brief Summary and Discussion of the Red and Blue of Demacia
I will soon write about the construction of Fosbyro.
I am a bit ambitious in this part, and hope to write something different from farming in the usual sense.
In fact, since the beginning of the book, many readers have doubts about "why to unite in the extraordinary world", thinking that this book is just for the sake of being popular.
And this question has actually been answered in the previous volume of Twenty Thousand Miles of Yellow Sand. Through the side description, I have given a lot of answers - even in the extraordinary world, the extraordinary power is not created out of thin air. Uniting more people and giving them the opportunity to educate, even in the extraordinary world, means more extraordinary people.
The threat of the void always exists.
But the last time the rift in the void was bridged, the Shurima Empire was almost exhausted. So, if you want to really solve the problem of the void, is it useful to rely on one or two heroes?
In other words, can one or two, three or five, or dozens of heroes compare to the thousand-man Ascended Legion of Shurima at that time?
In this case, shouldn't the best way be to launch a reform in Demacia, vigorously promote magic education, update social structure, promote magic industrialization in Demacia, which has richer natural conditions and population resources, so that Demacia can train and support an army that knows why it wants to fight the void and has the ability to fight the void head-on?
And in order to train this army, Demacia must face magic.
In order to support the consumption of this army, Demacia must improve productivity.
Ten thousand poor farmers supporting a magic master throwing fireballs are no match for two thousand farmers who have received magic education using magic or slag to catalyze farmland production, two thousand workers who have received magic education to manufacture professional equipment and tools, and four thousand people who have received various professional educations to perform social responsibilities and jointly pay taxes to support two thousand off-duty mages throwing fireballs.
In fact, although it is a League of Legends fan work, there are two points in this book that I have been trying to emphasize repeatedly: one is that power always has a price, even the ascension ceremony of the Shurima Empire will always lead to a split between the upper and lower classes; the other is that the meaning of magic is not just about throwing fireballs and fighting - compared with destruction, magic is actually more valuable in creation.
And if you want to transform magic into productivity, you need to popularize education that makes magic controllable, build a large government with a stable social structure, and devote all your efforts to doing big things.
It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of "doing big things", it is impossible not to be popular.
Even if it is just a League of Legends fan work that cannot be adapted into a film or TV series and cannot go viral, I hope that what I write is also a rich and logical Runeland, rather than a simple story that can conquer the world with love and peace and one person's strength. I have written several such stories.
Many of my ideas were not mature before, and I didn't think them through. I only had a vague concept and impression, so it was often difficult to justify myself later, and I had to introduce some new settings.
This book is pretty good. It has made some progress in both fluency and content. I feel bad for asking for leave. It is a bit "non-mainstream" in online writing, so I can't help but say so much. I hope you readers can understand.
Sorry for being so blunt.
Then, here is the part where the truth is revealed:
Actually, the main theme of this chapter is still a leave note. I have gained a lot from reading recently, and I have spent some time to sort out the details of the red and blue parts.
PS. I may go out for dinner tomorrow for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I will probably update it the day after tomorrow. I am very sorry.
Damn! I didn't notice that it was a VIP chapter! I am guilty!
If it can't be changed to a normal chapter, I will make it up for free in the next chapter!
