LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna
Chapter 33 Starting from Zaun
Tears welled up in Seraphine's eyes.
In fact, she still didn't quite understand.
But she was shocked and moved by these loud soul melodies.
The blood of Zaun students is surging.
Even Victor, who was the most rational and calm, trembled slightly with excitement.
In fact, after thinking about it last night, he has already come up with an answer similar to the ultimate goal that Li Wei said.
But what troubled him was that that ideal was so beautiful that he didn't even know how to realize it.
Human power is too weak.
Compared to building utopia through manpower, Victor even felt that the "mechanical ascension" method seemed more feasible——
At least he has the right professional knowledge, and he is really vaguely sure about the mechanical ascension.
As for building that ultimate ideal, Victor is not sure about it. With him alone, it can't be done.
But now, Li Wei told him:
"So what if you can't do it?"
"If you can't do it, don't you do it?"
"No!" Victor's thoughts came to him in an instant: "We don't need to achieve it, we just need to move forward! If we can get one step closer to our ideal, it is already a victory!"
They take one step forward, and the descendants will take another step forward, one step after another. Even if the ultimate ideal is not realized, they are still moving closer to the ultimate goal!
The world will eventually become better because of their efforts!
Thinking of this, the students' thoughts are finally gradually unified, and they are no longer at a loss for their ideals.
Although at this moment, they have faintly realized from Li Wei's words that even if they are only close to that ideal, sacrifices are required. It is to sacrifice a generation, or even several generations.
But they still pursued this ideal passionately at this time:
"Then Mr. Levi, what should we do now?"
After determining the ultimate goal and unifying the students' thinking, it is finally time to talk about the specific course of action.
How to take the first step forward.
What are their short-term goals?
Li Wei must come up with a practical plan, instead of just giving passionate speeches like before.
And Li Wei did not disappoint everyone.
He unknowingly became a mentor to these gifted students, pointing them in the right direction:
"Our short-term goal is to—"
"Realize the national independence of Za'an, build the first Jannaist city-state in history in Za'an, and achieve the victory of the one-city struggle in Za'an!"
This answer is resounding. But the responses evoked vary.
Most of the students agreed, thinking that the most important thing they should do now is to save the suffering people of Zaun.
However, there are also a few enthusiastic students who think that Li Wei's theory of victory in one city is a bit too conservative:
"Teacher Li Wei." They unconsciously called Li Wei a teacher, even though Li Wei was just a worker: "Shouldn't the Great Harmony you mentioned should be realized all over the world?"
"Why are you emphasizing the victory in Zaun at the expense of worldwide struggles?"
Because the steps are too big, it is easy to pull the eggs.
As a newborn, it's not bad to survive.
Death is normal. It may take several births to die before a child can be born alive.
Li Wei admired the enthusiasm of these students, but also told them very rationally:
"We are not writing novels when we engage in struggle. We must seek truth from facts and analyze specific issues in detail."
"Think about it, everyone. With the current objective conditions of Runeterra, is there really any ground for a worldwide struggle to start immediately?"
Compared with Earth, the current political situation in Runeterra... can be said to be very magical.
Piltover and Zaun started the industrial revolution 300 years ago, lighting up the technology trees of steam and electricity, and now they have even entered the third industrial revolution detonated by hex technology and alchemy technology.
And what about places other than the Twin Cities?
Not to mention accepting the trend of thought of the industrial revolution, realizing large-scale machine production, and the emergence of a mature working class...
In most regions and countries, even the "Renaissance" trend of thought has not been mentioned!
Demacia is still playing knights and nobles, while Shurima is full of warlords and chiefs.
Ionia is almost a large martial arts forest, with various schools and factions occupying the top of the mountain, and farming at home is self-sufficient.
The Freljord is even more outrageous. The ice and snow there is not suitable for the development of human civilization at all, and it is still in the primitive slavery tribal era.
Noxus is a bit better, with a relatively scientific military industrial base. But it was ultimately a slavery classical military empire. A large number of serfs were still bound in the manors and fields of the military nobles, and they were not liberated at all.
But at this time, 300 years have passed since the industrial revolution in Shuangcheng.
The Shuangcheng side is almost "Cyberpunk 2077", why are other countries still playing "Crusader Kings"?
"Why does this happen?"
Of course, it’s because the world was originally made up by people on earth. It would be nice if you didn’t make up a Wakanda with alien technology for gang fights...cough cough...
In short, if you analyze carefully:
"It's also because the merchant class in Runeterra is actually far less powerful than what we see."
"They just got deformed in Zaun and Piltover, and didn't successfully extend their tentacles to every corner of the world."
On Earth, the advent of the Industrial Revolution sounded the death knell of the age of kingship, and the machines roared and crushed all the old things that stood in their way.
If you don't want to follow suit, the strong ships and guns of foreigners will come to help you change.
But the situation in Runeterra is quite different:
Strong ship and sharp gun? Tank machine gun?
Is it awesome?
Learn more about justice in Demacia, learn about the Guillotine in Noxus, learn about the immortality of Ionia...
Imagine that the merchants in Piltover just drove their armed merchant ships to foreign shores, and they are about to deliver seed oil dishes to the "natives"——
Then the "natives" wore rune armor, wielded enchanted swords, and rode dragon lizards, dragon birds, and Juvask wild boars, rubbing colorful fireballs, water bombs, rocks, tornadoes... overwhelming rushed up.
Pooh! What industrial revolution?
Are there archery, horseback riding and archery, spells and magic handed down from the ancestors?
I just want to close the country and farm at home. Do you have the ability to bombard me?
"So, in other countries and regions outside of the Twin Cities, the old production relations have not been broken at all. The power we currently have is far from being comparable to those warriors and mages who ruled the old world."
"As a highly developed commercial economy, Piltover's internal conflicts have long been transferred to overseas economic colonies such as Zaun and Shurima by the rulers using their technology and financial hegemony."
"So the only city in the world that has the soil for struggle and development is Za'an!"
"Thanks to the distorted economic development of the twin cities, Zaan is now the world's largest heavy industrial city and the world's factory with the most concentrated labor force. The population here has grown continuously in the past 300 years, and now has as many as 2 million people!"
Yes, even if Zaun is a hell, the population here is always growing.
Because across the way Piltover is a paradise.
Every year, foreigners from all over the world try their best to come to Piltover to pursue their dreams. And most of them will be eliminated by Piltover—either by the law enforcement officers, or they will be reduced to Zaun themselves.
As a big factory and a big slum in Piltover, Zaun receives many bankrupt immigrants from Piltover every year.
The business in Piltover is getting bigger and bigger, and the factories in Zaun are also opening up more and more.
Naturally, there are more and more people here.
And almost all of them are workers, workers who are naturally allies.
"As long as we can unite these two million Zaunites, it will be enough to guarantee our victory!"
Janna's heyday was thousands of years ago, before the Shurima Empire began to ban her faith.
How many people were there in the world at that time?
How many of them are Janna believers?
In other words, the number of believers in Janna's heyday was only a few million.
And the population of a modern industrial metropolis is equivalent to that of a big country in ancient times.
So with the two million people in Zaun alone, there is hope that Janna's strength will be pushed back to the peak.
"At that time, Zaun will have the blessing of a demigod, even in the face of a powerful country like Noxus!"
"We'll have a way of surviving and—"
"Explore the road ahead!"
