Utopia's energy center is built underground, directly beneath the Utopia Energy Tower.

Whether it is the Yuan Energy Tower, which increases the density of regional energy and affects the practice efficiency of nearby monks, or the energy center, which stores a large number of Yuan Stone conversion devices and Yuan Stones, they are facilities with a very high security level in Utopia, and both the Yuan Stone conversion technology is kept secret.

It is also necessary to prevent the energy center from being maliciously attacked and triggering a big explosion.

During the recent period, Lu Chuan would take Lin Qingying to the energy center every day to carry out the "deflation" plan that everyone had planned before. He asked her to put her hand into a device specially made by Zhang Sanwen that connected to the energy storage pool, and continued to

Just pour energy into it.

Just listening to this process is boring. Most of the time, there are only two people in the energy center, Lu Chuan and Lin Qingying. Fortunately, after getting along with each other for a period of time, Lu Chuan gradually got used to it and found a way to get along with Lin Qingying, even if he stayed for a long time.

When we are together, we will never run out of things to talk about.

What two people fear most when chatting is not having a topic to talk about, and what Lu Chuan is most in need of is topics.

Lu Chuan is now considered the number one person in Utopia. Not only does his confidentiality level allow him to access most of the information, but he also has the administrator rights of the forum. He also has several intern subordinates who were interviewed by Utopia University and came to the information department to assist him in his work.

, plus he has the unique skill of Copper Coin Brother, it can be said that he will be one of the first people to get the news about most major events that happen in the world.

"Jing Congyun's wedding is scheduled for March 5th, and he will marry the legitimate daughter of the Xia family and the Chu family at the same time. It is a proper political marriage."

Lu Chuan was typing on the keyboard while sharing gossip with Lin Qingying. Judging from the importance of the information, the news about the construction progress of Tingfeng City, Gaohe County and Changping Cross-sea Bridge was no less important than Jing Congyun's

Wedding, but through this period of communication, Lu Chuan had a clear understanding of Lin Qingying's preference for topics.

"Huh? That little emperor of Jingguo? Marrying two at once? Does it look good? Do you want to go over to attend the wedding?" Lin Qingying became interested as expected, and turned her head to look at Lu Chuan's screen.

"He might invite me, but I probably won't go. We're not close friends, and I don't want to be a part of him."

Lu Chuan smiled and said, of course he didn't know whether the girls from the Chu family and the Xia family were good-looking. It was a joke not to follow the others, but he really didn't want to have too much contact with Jing Guo and Jing Congyun.

Jing Congyun's plan to build an entertainment center in Gaohe County is as obvious a conspiracy as the utopian Tingfeng City. Moreover, Tang Chen proudly showed off to Lu Chuan two days ago, saying that Jing Congyun was crying and begging him to go.

Jing Guo promised him aristocratic status and a noble daughter from an aristocratic family of his choice, but he still righteously refused.

"Well, I've seen a lot of gossip about you and the little princess from Jingguo on the Internet, and hasn't she been coming to see you a lot lately? But this little girl is a little too young, oh, you kid?"

Lin Qingying poked Lu Chuan's face with her free hand and joked deliberately. In fact, she could see clearly from the sidelines that Lu Chuan's attitude towards Jing Yuhong had always been polite and distant, but every time she took the ginger

When Mo or Jing Yuhong came to tease Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan Zheng'er's helpless expression made her very happy.

In addition to these two juniors, there is also a girl from Jingguo named Fang Zhixi and a former colleague from the Science Department named Qin Xiao who occasionally come to see Lu Chuan. As someone who has been here, the way the two girls look at Lu Chuan seems to Lin Qingying to be completely different.

It's not a secret, but Lu Chuan always behaves calmly, and he doesn't know whether he really doesn't know or is pretending not to know.

Lu Chuan actually explained to Lin Qingying seriously that the reason why all the girls who come to him recently is because all the boys who are close to him have gone to the north, and it has only been a few months since he came to Utopia.

, and half of them are on business trips, so their social circle is not large.

"Mom, you also said that Jing Yuhong is just a little girl, and she only came to me to ask about the big homework and get some information related to the server. The cute look you saw in her was probably just an act.

"

"You can't say bad things about others behind their back." Lin Qingying pinched Lu Chuan's face with her fingers, "If you don't like her so much, you can have less contact with her in the future. The same goes for Jing Guo."

Before Lu Chuan could speak, she continued, "I know you are worried about affecting the relationship between the two countries, but you also told me that they have secretly attacked us long ago, and they are destined to become opponents in the future.

What's more, diplomacy is not your job. You are just an ordinary citizen of Utopia. You don't have to like Jingguo, and the relationship between the two countries will not change because of your personal attitude. You don't need to wrong yourself because of this kind of thing.

Get along with people you don’t like.”

Lin Qingying smiled softly. She removed her hand from Lu Chuan's face and rubbed away Lu Chuan's slightly frowned brow. Lu Chuan's heart seemed to be touched by something, and he felt an indescribable touch.

"I know, next time she comes to see me, I will speak ill of her to her face." Lu Chuan joked.

Lin Qingying didn't believe that Lu Chuan could do such a thing with his character. She smiled and rolled her eyes at him, then turned her head and continued to stare at the vitality device, trying her best to release vitality into the device.

Lin Qingying used an improved version of "Pai Yuan Jue" to release her vitality. She thought about it while using it, and improved several versions of this boring technique. The efficiency was much higher than the earliest version.

She was also shocked when she first came into contact with the "Pai Yuan Jue" created by Lu Chuan and other children. She didn't understand why someone would create such a boring technique. After she learned that Lu Chuan fell into the Xingling River and almost died from his vitality, she was forced to

After the experience of having to expel my energy in order to take action, I still couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Only when they started to expel the demonic energy did they realize that this little demonic heart contained far more demonic energy than they imagined. Lin Qingying had been expelling an amount of energy equivalent to hundreds of yuan stones in these days, which made people feel uncomfortable.

It is completely impossible to understand how so much demonic energy can be stored in a heart space the size of at most two Yuan stones.

This new situation once aroused Zhang Sanwen's curiosity, and he wanted to stop the exhaust operation to study the devil's heart. However, Lu Chuan could observe through internal vision that the black color on the outer wall of the devil's heart was gradually getting lighter. He could feel it.

Perhaps it won't take long for the demonic energy to be completely drained out. When the time comes, taking out the demonic heart and giving it to Zhang Sanwen for study will not delay Lu Chuan's practice.

After the vitality expelled by Lin Qingying is converted into Yuan Stone, it will be regarded as Lu Chuan's, and only a small percentage will be deducted as the cost of equipment use and maintenance.

This amount of Yuanshi was nothing to Lu Chuan, who had already received several months of salary and mission bonuses. With more Yuanshi in his hand, he had no room for additional spending, so Cheng Guanxue introduced him to several investment projects.

He also seemed to lack interest.

The way of thinking will also change when the height of the station is different. Lu Chuan did not know much about currency and finance in Blue Star in his previous life, but after attending many high-level meetings in Utopia, he gradually began to think about related issues.

Come.

The monetary value system of this world is obviously not normal. Whether in the past one yuan stone could be exchanged for one million catties of grain, or now that the price of grain has increased to the point where it can be exchanged for one hundred thousand catties, the purchasing power is a bit outrageous.

In contrast, the ex-factory price of a mobile phone is 90-95 Yuanshi. Even with the premium value of Utopia's own technology, it is really unbelievable that a mobile phone can be exchanged for several thousand tons of grain.

Such an outrageous situation is partly due to the fact that this abundant world is very beneficial to the growth of crops. As a result, the people here just farm the land casually, and the output of the land can satisfy the vast majority of people.

survival needs.

But in the final analysis, it is because in the original system of this world, monks have the absolute say in terms of force. Yuanshi is a necessity for monks to practice, but food does not matter much to monks who can live without food.

.

Absolute force suppression amplifies the value difference. In any era, ordinary people are always in a position of dependence and being plundered and exploited in front of monks, which further intensifies the value difference between the monks' necessities of Yuanshi and the ordinary people's necessities of food.

However, the emergence of Utopia has changed this abnormal ecology. The core breakthrough point so far is not the subjective improvement of the status of ordinary people and the expansion of productivity through preliminary industrialization, but the research results of the Ministry of Science, which have realized the transformation from energy to energy.

The transformation between Yuan Qi and Yuan Qi into Yuan Stone.

The reason why the primeval stone in this world is extremely valuable is not only because of its importance to monks and practice, but also because of its difficulty in mining, its monopoly by powerful forces, and its non-renewable characteristics.

After Utopia achieved a technological breakthrough, it basically equated Yuanshi and energy to a certain extent.

Energy is the basis of industrialization. Although Utopia does not have large-scale Yuanshi mines, it is located near both the sea and the desert. It has good reserves of oil, gas and coal. Coupled with the photovoltaic power generation in the desert, the seaside

With wind power generation, Utopia had achieved self-sufficiency in energy as early as 280 in the Tianwu calendar, and had enough energy to convert it into primeval stones.

The most interesting thing is that Utopia will use Yuanshi to import large quantities of food, minerals, cloth and other raw materials from other countries, which also includes orders for fuel. Just using Yuanshi to purchase fuel, and then using the fuel to generate electricity and convert the Yuanshi business can make

Utopia makes a fortune.

Energy surplus, trade profits, coupled with internal corruption and wealth concentration that have never occurred before, this is why Utopia continues to expand the scale of industrialization, continuously invests in education and scientific research, and provides Utopia residents with incomes much higher than those of ordinary people in other countries.

main reason.

It is also because of the expansion of production through industrialization and the ever-expanding army that Utopia has always shown an extreme desire for population and talents. The development of Utopia is far from the level of automation. It is true that science and technology are the primary productive forces, and they also require a large number of employees.

People are needed to realize this productivity.

Utopia often uses energy weapons to measure the combat effectiveness of monks, and machines and equipment to measure productivity. In comparison, machines and equipment are cheaper, more sustainable, and are normalized production forces, while monks

The higher the level of cultivation, the higher the absolute efficiency and greater flexibility. Only if it can be used as an expert guide in industrialized production to overcome difficult problems can efficiency be maximized.

Mechanization and industrialization can greatly improve the productivity of ordinary people. Energy weapons, mobile devices and mechas can also greatly improve the combat effectiveness of ordinary people. Utopia is convinced that this road is feasible, even if they cannot solve the problem of ordinary people in the end

It can also be a matter of cultivation, and ordinary people can also find ways to survive in this world.

The industrialization process of Utopia has initially taken shape. As the scale of the industry continues to expand, they will not only export products such as mobile phones and electrical appliances to other countries, but will also have a huge impact on traditional handicraft industries such as textiles and smelting.

Without corresponding protective measures, these industries will easily be defeated when faced with rising raw material prices and product prices that are far lower than their own.

Scenes like this have happened many times in Dingxicheng. The most recent one is that Utopia's finished down jackets have flooded into the Dingxicheng market. Faced with the pleasant pricing and the warmth that is far superior to the traditional cotton-padded clothes of the Wu Kingdom, most people

He made a rational choice. When more and more people on the streets put on Utopia's down jackets, those wearing traditional Wu country cotton-padded clothes became aliens.

This process is cruel. If the people living in Dingxicheng do not go to the special zone to work or go to Utopia, they will have to face increasingly high prices and flat income, and watch their few properties gradually shrink.

.

But no matter what, this unstoppable and cruel process will happen with the development of Utopia. Lu Chuan is both involved in it and quietly watching.

"Chuan'er, I feel that the speed of vitality mobilization has slowed down. Can you see if there is anything new in your body?"

Lin Qingying's voice attracted Lu Chuan's attention. He quickly closed his eyes and saw at a glance that the film of the devil's heart had turned into a very light gray, and that gray was constantly being pulled away from his body by mysterious power.
