Out of the cage

Time flies like an arrow, and the future is full of twists and turns.

When Wei Keng determined the direction and started to execute the plan in an orderly manner, there was no sense of novelty in exploration. At the same time, after giving up all illusions, there is no sense of fear in the face of various emergencies in the future.

From 1992 to 1998, two more five-year plans were completed.

After the completion of the transportation hub on the Meridian, under the auspices of Carret, the Industrial Party completed the energy network plan covering the Northern Territory, reaching the Southern Olympic Alliance and the southernmost port at the same time.

The rune technology of this world is the quantum tunneling energy network. It's not a new technology.

Even if there are no arcane runes, the high-level arcane mages in other worlds (planets) use this technique to mobilize energy directly from their own arcane towers.

The difference lies in the scale. The various equipment and technologies industrialized and mass-produced by Fengfu Star make the energy supply far wider than the closed magicians of other planets.

Under the influence of "industry", not a few arcane masters built their own arcane towers, and provided "exclusive" energy special supplies for a small number of teleportation array locations.

Instead, wind energy, geothermal energy, water energy, and solar energy collected in various regions on the planet.

Of course, these low-density energies also require a large number of heat and cold exchangers, wires, and photovoltaic panels to be processed into high-density energies. Then it is transmitted to major cities and major transportation lines.

This is equivalent to the gap between only a thousand telegraph offices in Asia in the 20th century and the ability to send messages with one mobile phone for one billion people in the 21st century.

The breadth, abundance, and fineness of energy networks are closely related to infrastructure.

The accumulation of infrastructure is like the collection of old farmers bending over to pick up ears of wheat in the fields, which requires patience and ordinary heart.

~

After Fengfuli 3598, under the leadership of the will of industry, Northern United Industries built dozens of large geothermal power stations every year according to the plan. The salt extracted from seawater is used to produce molten salt, which is used for geothermal energy extraction and has become the most stable energy source.

The energy that is now abundant in the energy network is open to the public according to the IP rationing system.

After 95 years, the Austrian apprentices only need to apply for a card, and they can get three kilowatt-hours of electricity consumption per day. ——Of course, arcane apprentices must participate in work in order to charge fees.

The beneficiaries of industrialization in the new era, praise the Austrian industry, and quickly turned the middle ages into the last century.

The airship of United Industries floated in the sky with the banner of "Steady and Prosperous".

But in fact, with the emergence of industry, the economic development of the entire continent has become unbalanced, and this imbalance is harmful to the overall future development of industry.

Now even those arcane apprentices working in the "official magicians" of the Suspended Olympic Alliance feel that their lives are miserable. For more than half of each year, they follow the Meridian train and come to the north to work as migrant workers.

As for the people in the Aiger Empire, those agricultural areas. With the advancement of modern productivity, those feudal lords who lacked governance ability were quickly abandoned, and a large number of escaped slaves appeared.

From the perspective of the purpose of concept dissemination, all of these have to be borne by the 'industry'.

~

Fengfuli 3598, Xiange City. It has developed into the appearance of a modern city. Of course, due to Wei Keng's planning, the number of skyscrapers is not so overwhelming.

Each district has wide avenues, rows of green plants, and only one building of hundreds of meters is allowed every three or four kilometers.

And such buildings are also public buildings, and the property rights are held by the local public, and others can only lease them.

The reason for the dense skyscrapers of the New York model in the lighthouse country of the main world is the comparison of real estate businessmen. After blowing bubbles in luxury locations, pile up floors as much as possible to increase wealth.

In fact, for an industrial city to maintain normal traffic, logistics, and transfer of industrial materials, the required system is not as complicated as that of the 21st century.

It’s just that in the industrial age, in order to maintain the special status of the ruling class, they will add special structures, financial, insurance and other settlement systems for their own needs.

Ninety-nine percent of the residents do not use luxury hotels, guesthouses, and mansions in cities.

These facilities are specially used by a small number of people. From inviting a large number of non-manufacturing people to enter the city to engage in the tertiary industry, they consume the limited planning resources in the city and intensify the involution of all the middle and lower classes in the city.

And a few people take advantage of the concentration of the city to control the largest population, and at the same time take advantage of capital to monopolize undervalued rural assets. When the real estate of the same area in the city can be dozens or even hundreds of times that of the surrounding properties, there is actually a scissors gap between the assets of the two places that "cannot be refuted by any rhetoric".

Wei Keng came from the main world and experienced the plane of China, so he deeply knows that "industry" is not perfect and has shortcomings.

And in this world with the will of the gods, don't expect "fate" to ignore the shortcomings of mortals, the gods are not so kind.

Therefore, Wei Keng set a standard line for the urbanization of the Northern Industrial Territory—concentrating on manufacturing as the core and strictly preventing concentration for monopoly.

If 90 percent of a metropolis with tens of millions of people is not engaged in substantial production, it is a case of improper industrial allocation and a disease.

Wei Keng: Industrialization for the purpose of asset concentration is the governance model of the Angsa colony governor. That is to say, "Just pay attention to taxation, regardless of the life and death of the basic people in the territory. For example, when the South Asian subcontinent was colonized, when the territory was hit by a disaster, the thought was not on disaster relief, but on how to ensure that the tax revenue would not drop. It's not the same." (The real version of the player of p agency)

Building industry for the sake of living and working in peace is in line with Eastern governance thinking.

After 3598, after Wei Keng observed that the contradictions in the entire continent were getting bigger and bigger, United Industries began to spread the construction to secondary townships and small towns, connecting them together through good roads, energy, communications, and infrastructure.

In the present situation, under the barbaric development provoked by "science" and "machinery", "industry" is forced to expand, and because of the large scale of industry, the problems encountered are also large.

With the increasing contradictions in the southern capital.

Wei Keng is sure that his "industry" will definitely encounter "fate targeting".

Wei Keng, who doesn't believe in "mercy" and "allies", is determined to consolidate his fundamentals.

Wei Keng: In the face of the impact of the tide, as long as a flag is strong and not toppled, it will always have the power to fight back.

~

Two kinds of development thinking can be clearly seen on the remote sensing map of Fengfu Continent.

In the north of the Meridian Railway, the lights are relatively sparse and scattered, but there are lights in every area, and on the side of the Alliance of Truth on the Meridian Railway. As well as the coastal commercial cities further south, super bright light spots have formed, but the surrounding areas seem a little shrunk.

For the high-ranking arcane masters, the representative of the prosperity of arcane magic in the contemporary Fengfu world is the huge city shining with truth.

Pull the bird's-eye view into the city of the Alliance of Truth, where various suspended laboratories are connected by force fields on the bizarre buildings. The Offa Tower is no longer the Offa Tower in the past. It is all geometric and abrupt buildings (refer to the ancient times: the big underpants building).

In a city with such a huge number of buildings, all kinds of aircraft are running all over the streets. ——The floating sports car is the most low-key, and the rocket skateboard with a fairing is more coquettish.

What flying broomsticks, oh, those are the old calendars of earthworms, and arcanists also pay attention to trends.

When the nobles have abundant resources, they will demand good carriages and gorgeous clothes. In the past, Arcane Masters lacked resources, so they could only work hard and plainly, but now that they have resources, they are quite avant-garde.

~

Compared with the Alliance of Truth, the Northern Industrial Party is taking a simple route.

Although high-rise buildings, electric towers, and dams are all built with massive funds. However, there are very few floating sports cars used to show the magnificence of development. The city is still dominated by underground rails and public transport vehicles, and the main means of transportation in the countryside is still steam tractors.

Of course, there are also aerial vehicles, which are also used for public projects such as forest fire prevention, pest control, and ground monitoring.

Unlike the "science" school, which is unconventional, the "industry" is sticking to the standard.

In the northern coastline area of ​​the industrial territory, Wei Keng in his spare time strolled barefoot on the beach full of pebbles and ice. Step by step, he measured the changes in the sea breeze here.

At this time, Wei Keng no longer had a mechanical battle suit on him, and these creations that enhanced his physical strength had long been unnecessary for Wei Keng, who was already a "human immortal".

In the past, I always wore a suit, just for fun. Just like a boy always liked to hold a plastic sword when he was a teenager.

Now Wei Keng is wearing the most common work clothes, the bowls and chopsticks for eating, the pen for writing, and the bicycle for riding are all the simplest things in the city.

Wei Keng has also demolished the castle where he was born, and every brick has been burned again, and then mixed with the roadbed materials for road construction in various places to form ordinary roads. Yes, these construction wastes will become materials for land reclamation.

Now Wei Keng is like this, trying to minimize the "special items" that people sing about.

The mysticism of the Arcana plane is that heroes can be reconstructed and their power summoned based on the information left over from the "legacy special items". This is the medium for many large arcane spells after legendary.

In the occult: the more special the item is, the more meaningful it is, and the more complete the summoning of the hero.

What Wei Keng is involved in is the most high-end game, and the game is against the gods.

The power of the gods will tamper with the truth of the hero in this call again and again, and then reconstruct the parallel timeline.

In the "Great Arcane Art" that Wei Keng is about to build, "one's own truth" must be able to withstand the impact of "infinite influence in the future".

Complicated etiquette, as well as strange hobbies, can not help but guess and revise.

So the "truth" left by me in the future should be as simple as possible. It is best if it is an ordinary performance that the world has long been accustomed to.

Of course, this kind of mediocrity is actually in line with Wei Keng's own nature.

That is: as a middle-aged figure, in the advancing trend of the times, standing and being pushed away, or in the retrograde wind, lying down without being led away.

In December 3598, all villages in the north were fully electrified.

Dozens of locations, such as steel plants, chemical plants, and machinery plants, now have Wei Keng, and Wei Keng is working there.

Pandora's split mode is now used by Wei Keng here. ——This is the "non-stationary cloning technique" studied by Wei Keng.

[Necromantic nine-ring technique, stasis cloning: same as cloning, the difference: when the main body is alive, the clone is in a stagnant state and will not rot. Once the main body dies, the soul will be transferred to the clone, Get out of stasis. If an entity has multiple clones, the soul goes to the most recently created clone. 】

Compared with stasis cloning, Wei Keng's clones are all active and soul-linked. Once an individual dies, all individuals are implicated by the soul and die. Compared with stagnant cloning, this technique loses its life-saving value and even increases the risk.

However, after Wei Keng recognized his own direction, the purpose of using this arcane technique was not to save his life, but to live a more splendid life.

With a spatula in one hand and the splendor of a welding torch in the other.

Ten thousand years is too far away, seize the day and night.

~

In the development of "industry" presided over by Wei Keng, the "magnificent" romantic atmosphere and "sacred sense of mission" when looking at the overall situation have been handed over to his students.

And myself, in more and more places, has become like a farmer who "works at sunrise and rests at sunset."

Workers have to abide by more production discipline than farmers, but it's about the same after getting used to it. It's like high school has a lot more homework than elementary school, but the feeling of the bell is the same. In these most basic positions, Wei Keng also abides by more and more rules, one by one Wei Keng squeezes the tram to and from get off work, reads newspapers, and collects iron cards. Melted with the spiritual atmosphere of ordinary people in this era.

In the future of Feng Fu Xing, Master Wei will leave very difficult problems for the mystics.

They could find no "clear physical traces" (sacred relics) of Carret's influence on the world. Such as knives and guns, armor, rulers, compasses, cloaks and the like.

But the "strong cause" that affects the world actually exists. Since the beginning of the times, many changes in people have come from this.

For example: the format of safety notes, the habit of drinking a glass of milk before visualizing industrial machinery structures.

There are also some unremarkable habits. If you are too tired when you get off work, you can simply cook an appetizer of "scrambled eggs with tomatoes", or if your bones are a bit dull, you can find a ping-pong table to play.

Corresponding to Wei Keng becoming more and more ordinary, the "catastrophe against industry" is getting closer.

Despite the deity's cover, the mortal heroes the deity has deployed cannot conceal the intent of their actions. Wei Keng did not perform the arcane art of "predicting fate", but based on "the development direction of social contradictions" and "class contradictions" and other causes, he knew what some people wanted to arrange for themselves.

In the year 3599 of the Fengfu calendar, it was in the royal capital of Aige.

The old emperor of the empire handed over the deputy commander of the family knight order to his young grandson, Danny.

This year, this young man was only sixteen years old. He is heroic. Although young, he has already touched the threshold of a great knight.

The salute was fired in the capital, everyone put on their new clothes, and the streets were cleaned spotlessly.

The feudal sense of ritual and majesty is very strong, but the chemical fiber clothes worn by the people and the cheap and colorful plastic flowers make this kind of celebration of the mystery of the world without magic, but it is a wedding and wedding event for big families in second- and third-tier cities.

Compared with the middle-class culture derived from the explosion of productivity in the north, the "scientific race high" culture in the super-large cities of the Olympic Alliance, and the "mechanical punk" culture of super-large gears, super-large transmission rods, and steel-shell fortresses in the south.

The forces of the Old Kingdom that were economically imported belonged to the weak side that was culturally imported. The people in the middle and lower classes have not enjoyed the dividends of the era, so when they passively enter the new era, they can only follow the pace of the pioneering areas and bear more and more heavy pressure. The small and medium-sized aristocrats in the upper middle class are in line with the consumption of the industrial age.

Oh, this is how in ancient times, the middle class in underdeveloped countries would find it quite funny to look back at the "petty bourgeoisie" that appeared in the aspirations of developed countries - standing in the lower reaches of the times.

~

Although the royal capital of Aiger follows the tradition, the royal family has always controlled the capital. The output of its royal estate is getting bigger and bigger, and it monopolizes the natural resources of the mountains and rivers in the territory.

For example, in 3588, after the royal housekeeper purchased the core power generation equipment from the Northern Industrial Territory, he input electricity to the energy grid, and he could get a large amount of money for selling energy every year. So in the past few years, the streets of the royal capital have become more and more empty, but the palace has become taller and taller.

In the past few years, the riders of the knights have changed from war horses to ground dragons with heavy armor all over their bodies.

A tame dragon weighing three to four tons consumes fifty kilograms of meat per day. As for the consumption of more in battle. In the past, when the empire that unified the entire continent was at its strongest, it could not afford to support 1,500 heads.

But at the moment, Iger directly broke through two thousand heads.

In today's industrial age, the protein conversion rate in the agricultural age depends on "the technology of magical creatures such as giant rats catalyzed by arcanists."

And the Northern Industrial Party has completed the technology of transforming straw waste into protein through bacteria.

The price of meat in this era is very cheap, but the disadvantage is that it contains very little life information, which makes it easy for people to gain weight. In terms of attribute growth, it simply increases health, and a small amount of strength does not increase agility or perception.

~

On the main street of the palace, heavy armored dragons in steel walked neatly on the square, while in the sky were griffin knights weighing only 700 kilograms covering the sky, with air currents capable of sweeping the streets. whizzed by.

In this world where the power level is limited, the current intelligence of the capital is still limited to the war between the Xinghui Peninsula United Industry and the Sea Clan. In their impression, the understanding of the northern mechanical armament can only eject steam crossbow arrows, and it is impossible to appear. The grand occasion of a shuttle "88 guns". (Iger's intelligence network is much weaker than that of the Alliance of Truth.)

Therefore, in the eyes of the old nobles in the capital, these biological combat units shining with magical luster are still a considerable force.

Griffin Knight's Arcane Hammer is the energy to smash down a group of "heavy magnetic blocks".

When this transparent energy mass fell, it was like a balloon filled with water exploding on the ground. Effect: Within a range of 15 meters, all items will be subject to 5 g wave traction. ——The feeling of a roller coaster is only 1 g, and the oppression caused by the reverse flow of blood on the heart is enough to choke. As for the Arcane Hammer, strength-type units without magic protection will suffer twice the damage.

The wealth of the royal capital is increasing, but the personal wealth of the knights has not increased much. The shackles of loyalty to the lord prevented the knights from accusing the king. And in the past few years, the king has rewarded all kinds of potions and wealth as much as possible.

The knight class, or the warrior class, is currently quite dissatisfied with the power of businessmen and bourgeois in Aigne.

The knight class in the contemporary royal capital has the urge to change the status quo through war.

Now as Prince Danny is gradually leading the army, all the knights are looking forward to the class stability brought about by meritorious promotion, as well as the redistribution of wealth within the kingdom.
