Douluo see you soon

Imperial hegemony does not seem to have much to do with Wasteland City in remote areas. In fact, Wasteland City was also undergoing its own expansion during this period. However, this expansion was not so obvious in the military field and did not attract much attention.

attention.

When the two major forces are fighting for eight cities, people are out of their minds. Wasteland City, the most remote place, has secretly controlled more than ten cities. These are desolate cities in remote areas. They have a radius of three to four hundred miles.

I can't find any city around it.

Under normal circumstances, even if these cities are controlled, they cannot be regarded as urban agglomerations. However, after the railways connect them together, each city can be completed within a day.

Three hundred miles seemed very far away in the era of infantry and cavalry. It would take about a month and a half to walk, and it would take four to five days if it was a forced march, unless it was a war horse. And it was during riding.

Only by constantly changing horses can one cover such a long distance in one day.

This is only possible for a few people to cross, unlike trains, which allow countless people to complete the round trip between two distant places in one day.

With such a connection, even if they are far apart, the actual travel time between the two cities is shorter than those cities that are close together.

It can completely transport civilian supplies, weapons, equipment, etc. on a large scale.

In a new era, this can already be used as the foundation of a new empire.

Originally, these cities did not want railways to be built near their territories, which meant that armored trains could drive directly to their territories, which meant that the wasteland formed a substantial force deterrent for them.

But their refusal is meaningless. As they become more and more economically dependent on Wasteland City, if they continue to defy Wasteland City's requirements, they will lose all aspects of economic support. The temporary factory they established will

Production is forced to stop due to the loss of raw materials. The various luxury goods purchased will also lose supply, and they can no longer be replenished after they are exhausted.

Having adapted to the convenient and fast life of this era, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to continue to survive without these supports.

It's like people who have become accustomed to the era of mobile phones and the Internet. Returning to the era when several families gathered together to watch one TV, they will also feel extremely bored and find it difficult to adapt.

It is under the influence of these economic shackles that surrounding cities have to allow railways to connect each other, and even allow railways to be built within their own cities. Although they are still nominally independent city-states, with the armored trains

After conducting military exercises again and again and passing by their door, these people also knew that they were actually under the actual armed control of Wasteland City.

Nowadays, the railway has passed through both sides of the teleportation gate smoothly. Trains are running at high speed on both sides, crossing each teleportation node and spreading all over the world.

Although those so-called prosperous areas are not yet connected to the railway, the actual area that Garden City can control now exceeds 10 million square kilometers.

In the past, most of these places were actually deserted areas, areas that were abandoned by people for exile because they were too far from the portal and were relatively difficult to develop.

After these areas were connected by railways, and after train stations appeared in these places, they became prosperous again. With the advancement of technology, the advantages and disadvantages of portals will actually be reversed in the future.

Those portals that are all gathered together will be disliked by people to a certain extent because they are too close to each other and the range they can actually control is too small.

Of course, there are still advantages in getting together. That is, the protection ability of the core defense circle of the territory is strong enough. Even now, Lan Nuo can prosper and develop the territory and advance to the next era. In the face of being guarded by thermal weapons,

When there are five plus three city-states, there will be a feeling like a dog biting a hedgehog and it is difficult to eat. These towns are too close together. With each other's support, even if the weapons and equipment are backward, because there are countless exits in the three burrows of the cunning rabbit.

It is also difficult to crush with force.

But this kind of situation means that there is more than enough defense but not enough offense. If it really reaches that situation, you can send troops to surround these cities, and then completely ignore this area. Besiege them until they surrender. The productivity in the next era

At present, this kind of siege is not difficult. It can be easily achieved without weakening the country's national strength.

Chengying's current development direction is still to continuously strengthen its strength in this area. In addition, the focus is to gain control of the ocean here.

In the presence of a large number of portals, the ocean is actually an extremely special resource point.

There is no salt and iron monopoly in this world. To be precise, there is no salt, because unlike the earth, the salt in this world is not a scarce mineral, but one that can be easily mined. There is no way to monopolize it.

There are a large number of salt deposits on the surface of this planet, which are different from the salt that we know as sun-dried from sea water.

These rock deposits are accumulated in the ground, just like coal mines, where large amounts of salt can be mined directly.

In fact, there are similar minerals on the earth. However, because table salt is easily soluble in water, it is difficult for this kind of thing to accumulate in the ground.

But this is different. Portals are actually a very special existence. They are not necessarily only distributed on the surface of the planet. It’s just that humans can only use these on the surface of the planet. More are actually in the air and underground.

.It’s just the portals in the air and underground that humans can’t use.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And if there are portals in the air and underground, it means that there are actually portals in the ocean. You can occasionally see them in this world

Some wonders.

That is, a huge waterfall like boundless water will appear on the ground or in the sky. Endless sea water will gush out from the waterfall and fall on the ground to create a lake out of thin air.

Most of these lakes have no way to flow out. They may become larger and larger as seawater accumulates. In some places, where the sun is hotter, the lakes will continue to maintain a volume during the evaporation process.

Next, salt mines will accumulate on the earth. After the rules of the space gate are completely changed, the large amount of salt accumulated in the sea water here will become veins. Because the precipitation in these areas is not high, these salts will

It will remain on the earth for a long time.

This is an extremely special resource on this continent.

In addition, it is not only sea water that falls from the sky. Sometimes it is also possible that the magma in the underground is sent to the sky under the influence of the portal.

In fact, the last empire was born in the place where it was named Mount Doom.

The portal located in the geological magma connected to a portal thousands of meters high in the sky, so a hell-like scene appeared in that era.

There is magma hanging high in the sky, and the river flows down, forming a magma waterfall in mid-air.

At first, the magma fell on the ground and flowed in all directions, causing a huge disaster. The ecological environment of this area was such that a city-state was directly submerged by the magma and turned into a dead land. Later, the magma gradually expanded outward to the limit, and finally

Solidification occupies a huge area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers.

After solidification, the magma began to pile up higher and higher. A cone shape continued to pile up from the bottom. As it continued to solidify and rise, the mountain peaks became taller and taller. They got closer and closer.

The position of the magma waterfall in the sky. Eventually, when the height of the mountain peak is equal to the height of the magma waterfall, a huge magma lake is formed at the top of the mountain. The lake water continues to rise, and from time to time it will slowly exit the mountain peak.

The water in these magma lakes will solidify at the top of the mountain peaks and occasionally flow out. As a result, the mountain peaks continue to increase in height until eventually the magma solidifies at the top of the exit, sealing the top of the mountain peaks.

A huge mountain with an unprecedented height of 8,000 meters was formed. A large amount of magma accumulated inside such a huge mountain. As time goes by, the pressure of the internal magma will become higher and higher. This means that the top of the mountain

The solidified layer of magma will shatter under huge pressure. And when the pressure is high enough, the capping and shattering will produce the most spectacular volcanic eruption in the previous era. The magma will dissolve at an altitude of nine thousand meters.

It becomes a bright golden light pillar, and then falls in all directions above the clouds. The surrounding area will be baptized by such meteorites.

Fortunately, the eruptions of this mountain peak are very regular. Through strict records and calculations, the period of its eruptions can be calculated, so that corresponding avoidance can be carried out.

The terrifying memory this volcano brought to the empire also gave him the name Mount Doom.

Now that the Doomsday volcano has been completely extinguished, as the location of the portal changes, the magma in the Doomsday volcano will lose its source and eventually gradually cool down.

There is only such a huge basalt left on the ground.

And this is different from the mountain peaks created during geological movements. It has no foundation. In the future, this mountain will continue to be weathered by the erosion of wind and rain. It may crack in the future, or it may be destroyed by earthquakes.

It keeps changing its position, just like building blocks placed on a wooden board. Because there is no foundation. It is a migrating mountain, and its position is not fixed. Although it is now trapped in the ground due to the huge gravity,

But no one knows where it will go in the future. And new doomsday volcanoes now seem to be in the process of forming. Nowadays, magma can be observed in the sky above the equator of the planet, flowing into the sea water. This period of time has already

A basalt island has been formed above the sea water. The size of the island is still getting bigger and bigger, and a new doomsday volcano may be built here in the future.

For the time being, Cheng Ying is not able to utilize this magma. What he is looking for is the space gates located on the seabed. The energy there can barely be used to build a special power generation facility in that sea area and expand the sea base.

, manufacturing special shipyards.

Maybe a brand new energy center can be developed above the ocean, and finding such a space portal in the ocean is actually not too difficult.

From ancient times to the present, there have been horrific legends about ships missing in maelstroms on the sea. Although most of these are fabricated, a large part of them are real.

There may be portals on the bottom of the sea, which means that seawater will leak along these portals, and the seawater leaked by the portals will be like opening the stopper below in the bathtub, and a large amount of water will flow from this

It flows away through holes, and whirlpools form on the surface of the water. These are the large whirlpools where ships are lost.

Sometimes the rotation speed of the whirlpool is not very fast, but in fact after falling into it, there is no way to escape, because the speed of the ship can no longer exceed the speed of the whirlpool water, it can only get closer and closer to the center of the whirlpool, and finally be completely swept in

, and then fell into the space gate.

When human ships enter space in this era, no one will be crushed by the huge water pressure. Even if they emerge from the sky or other places again, few people can distinguish the missing ship among the debris.

Of course, there are also some ship recorders who successfully survived the ship that fell into the maelstrom. The people inside fell from the sky, fell to the ground and fell into the big lake, and did not die. Later they became legendary navigators, even in

He was a famous navigator in all empires. It is even said that in his time he invented a super route that borrowed the power of the maelstrom to speed up navigation in the ocean, greatly shortening the time required to sail between the two continents.

.Single-handedly changed the structure of the empire.

This navigator who was once lucky enough to survive in the great world has become the idol of countless generations of navigators in later generations. Even if the empire changes from generation to generation, those who live by the sea or on the islands will still stand up to him.

statue, reciting his name Thaddeus in adoration.

The ships Chengying built on the seashore were also built successfully with the help of many sailors who believed in Sadio. And after they saw the steamship that could operate without sails, they shouted

They bear the name of their idol and think this is an unsinkable warship.

Under normal circumstances, even when facing a maelstrom to recruit warships, with the help of a compass, they can escape smoothly. However, this is not an absolute portal. In addition to the difference in location, there are also differences in size.

The difference is that if you encounter a wide enough portal underwater, the scale of the university may exceed expectations, and it may also cause the ship to be destroyed and people to die.
