In June of the 155th year of the Pandora Calendar, Jianye and the Tongfa District still maintained a fight without defeat. So far, the upper echelons of both sides are still at the helm with clear-sighted people.
This greatly disappointed many small city-state forces in the Yangtze River Basin who were looking forward to conflict.
The emerging working groups in the unified control area are also becoming more and more certain. Even though some of the upper-level officials in Jianye and the Five Color Alliance have a narrow perspective, they can still make correct judgments as long as they express it with clear enough signals and point out the space for mediation.
~
July 11, 155.
In Qiantang Bay and Shaocheng, this city-state nominally belongs to Jianye, but economically it has begun to be attached to the commanding area.
Now the upper echelons of Zhejiang are also very happy to expand their influence, providing a meeting venue and mediating to end the conflict between the two major forces in the East China Sea.
Regarding this, Mr. Wei lamented: "It is the land and water that support the people, and business can be done here (Zhejiang)." Of course, they acted as middlemen at the right time.
In Shaocheng, the place was arranged in a building hall with white walls and gold tiles and carved interiors. This was an art museum of local folk specialties before the Great Destruction.
The people sent by Tongfa District and Jianye were all old acquaintances. The two sides had frank exchanges of views many times, and now they met again, but this time the talks were slightly more meaningful than before.
Meaningful means that both parties reach an exchange of interests without substantial military conflict.
This exchange of interests can derive long-term benefits for a group like the Tongfa District with strong internal coordination capabilities.
For a force like Jianye with weak internal coordination capabilities, it can temporarily satisfy most of its internal personnel.
~
In general, Hengyang made the concessions it wanted to win.
But these concessions are all in areas of human benefit. For example, supporting blood pack technology, providing a new batch of steel smelting and processing equipment, ammunition factories, and node biopower.
As for Jianye who got the benefits, the current ruling class also wants to suppress some minorities.
For example, Qiu Mengfei is the representative of those warriors and researchers who breed and equip the Celestial Killer Dragon.
Back then, they did not leave a road for Wei Keng. When Wei Keng formulated policies in the command area, he also narrowed their road.
Of course, Jianye, who was so greedy for profit and unscrupulous, completely threw the Five Colors Alliance aside. The girl Qiu Mengfei was worried about came again.
~
In Pandora's supervisor space,
The Bailinglu team is evaluating Wei Keng’s large-scale technological output.
The atmosphere in the entire supervision team is quite relaxed. They know that Wei Keng's behavior, which seems to be a loss, is actually an attempt to slowly put a chain on him. In Buddhism, a lotus grows at every step, and Wei Keng creates a pit at every step.
For example: the transfer of blood pack technology may sound scary at first, but this thing is just like the agricultural seed technology in the 21st century. The most fundamental part is in the hands of the upstream, and it is difficult to transplant it.
Biotechnology is not a production chain where base cars can be packaged at will.
Biotechnology involves R&D departments and R&D sites. During the cultivation process, it is necessary to ensure the stability of dozens and hundreds of hectares of planting areas to prevent genetic contamination. In short, this is the same as building an aircraft carrier, with only one powerful country to coordinate.
There are restrictions on the blood pack technology production chain transferred from the Tongfu District to Jianye.
According to Wei Keng's technical estimation, the biological foundation of Jianye Room can only guarantee the genetic stability of the "blood pack original solution" for one to two years. This is still based on the optimal adjustment state and is stored using strict low-temperature refrigeration technology.
If the Tianshu Dragon's life node is brought close to it, its genetic radiation will immediately greatly reduce the effectiveness of its mother version.
If Jianye wanted to avoid radiation contamination from the Celestial Dragon, they would have to carry out an ecological cleanup far away from Jianye and build a biological research base.
This also means that if Jianye does not give up the Tianshu Long Arms, he will have to invest heavily in another city-state area. The selfish people in Jianye City will obviously not do such a thing.
As for the transfer of other steel smelting technologies in the conquered area, they can only produce the crudest steel, which can be used for ammunition. They want to re-establish steam mechanization. Their council has long since lost the ability to do this.
If Jianye now wants to establish a scientific research team to compete with the Tongfa District? Then it must learn the spiritual language of the Tongfa District.
In the modern times of the main world, most of the technical documents were recorded in Latin. The language system in the East was not backward, and everyone had to learn a second language conscientiously to ensure that they were connected to the world's industrial system.
And now the system of disseminating technology in the unified area records has become the spiritual language of the higher generation. When Jianye gets the steel plant, if he wants to go further, the foundation must be changed, and if the language foundation is replaced, the production organization system will also change, and ultimately its
Can the upper level remain stable?

Bai Linglu commented on the humanitarian aid in the controlled area this time: "Compared to stabbing someone with a hard knife without hesitation, the bumpkins in Jianye have no way to defend against Wei Keng's method now. But this requires a long-term will to execute.
.”
Bai Linglu clicked on the history of modern times and made notes on this situation.
During the period of about two thousand years.
Western civilization has also maintained its advantages in unilateral export to the East in terms of science, industry, and social productivity. With the help of these information inputs related to "basic development", it has also "assimilated" the East's ideological and social systems in a subtle way.
To be precise, if the assimilation based on advantages can be continued for sixty years, it will be completed.
However, after two hundred years of prosperity, the philosophy of Western civilization has been disrupted by two super wars and has gone into decline.
In the early modern times, Western strategists were also overly optimistic about the progress of technological developments such as nuclear and space development. They expected that after the development of the moon and asteroids, the West would maintain the pattern of great voyages and great discoveries and continue to make progress for more than a hundred years.
In fact, just twenty or thirty years is not enough time for civilization to break through the planet.
Even a hundred years from now, humankind's technology will be far from reaching the point where it can vigorously colonize the universe.
The civilizational will of Western society, which was excited by the great discovery, was given a blow. The result was that the continuous export to the East had just gained the upper hand for thirty years, and it began to contradict itself internally, and the strategic will could not continue.
And in the present moment of Pandora,
As long as the commanding area maintains an excited, high-spirited, upward state in its main strategic actions, and simmers slowly, then the conservative forces such as Jianye and the Five-Color Alliance will be riddled with holes without even realizing it.
Qin Xiaohan saw the summary at the end of the report submitted by Bai Linglu, and instantly understood the intention of his competitor. Qin Xiaohan: "Tsk..."
Bai Linglu once again emphasized her intention: "Wei Keng must perform a long-term mission in the Pandora plane."~ She wanted to keep Wei Keng in Pandora longer, farm longer, and stimulate the later stage of the Kongzhu plane.
Qualitative change.
~
August 155 of the Pandora calendar.
After the Five Colors Alliance learned that Jianye had reached a compromise with the commanding area, they angrily asked the representatives to return.
At 6:30 in the morning on August 8, the morning light in the distance had just risen. On the Jianye Steel Yangtze River Bridge, the Five Color Alliance's mission was ready to leave as early as possible, but was still overtaken by someone from Jianye.
Su Lingshuang reluctantly declined Qiu Mengfei's gift: a bracelet made of rain flower stones. In the original plot, the two had already kissed at this stage, but now fate is playing tricks on them!
She couldn't bear to look back and stepped on the flying dragon, while Qiu Mengfei stood on the bridge over the river, looking at the lover who flew away from a distance, and stood there in despair all afternoon.
Until a voice suddenly came from my heart: "The bad nature of human beings." This voice was low but penetrated the soul.
Qiu Mengfei was suddenly stunned and immediately asked: "Who is it? Who is talking?" The wind on the river was howling.
He looked at the bridge, except for the steam cars around it, and the misty river on both sides.
This voice has been dormant for a while,
But it left an inexplicable feeling in Qiu Mengfei's heart. Doubts? Yes, but behind the doubts, there was also a desire to seek communication and comfort.
~
As for the Five Colors Alliance, before Su Lingshuang returned.
In the Kaifeng military base, Zeng Lin, who was already under Su Qianqing's command, was invited to the room by another big figure from the Five Color Alliance for a conversation.
The Five-Color Alliance hopes that Zeng Lin can once again go deep into the "Dragon Pool and Tiger's Den" to uncover the conspiracy behind the Haichuan Faction (the commanding area) for the people (the Five-Color Alliance claims to be the representative of this).
~
Zeng Lin finally "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light" and ran to the north. He really sold himself out. He didn't even sit on a stable bench for a day before he was put on a collar and sent back to bite people.
~
Five days later, Zeng Lin arrived at the port in a mechanical beast and boarded a ship heading south.
After the ship left the coastline, Zeng Lin looked back at the northern continent with a very complicated expression on his face! This was an expression of decline that could not be "converted".
Humans are social animals. When they decide to betray their own group, they will soon regret it as an unaccepted individual. But such regret is not to return to the parent group, but to try to find a new group to join, and will
Trying to prove your gregariousness with very loyal behavior.
Of course, whether it is the Five Color Alliance or Jianye, how can a circle that has been stable for hundreds of years and has begun to become closed accept new blood from outside? Therefore, Zeng Lin is used as a tool, and he is also the one who is least cherished
~
Su Qianqing of the Five Colors Alliance is a hawk. In the past few years, his attitude towards the commanded areas was to suppress and attack.
However, the alliance with Jianye did not succeed, and when Jianye was said to have obtained a lot of benefits from the unification area, Su Qianqing's hawk faction seemed stupid and sought benefits for Jianye.
Therefore, within the Five-Color Alliance, the powerful families in charge of the key economies felt dissatisfied after seeing the benefits, and demanded a new treaty with the commanding area.
At least like the treaty signed by Jianye, the interests are shared.
~
As for Zeng Lin, he was not assigned to negotiate, but was sent back to conduct intelligence gathering. The reason why the Speaker of the Five Colors Alliance negotiated with him seemed to be encouragement, but in fact he was threatening that "his handle is in the hands of the Five Colors Alliance."
.
This is similar to the situation in modern times when the Japanese invaders entered the Lighthouse, thinking that they could dominate the Lighthouse's strategy towards the mother country through continuous efforts, thus eliminating the dissatisfaction of not being taken seriously by the mother country in the past.
But in the end, why did Lighthouse leave such an important strategy to the Asia-Pacific to the Japanese devils? It just used them as "sniffing dogs."
~
The cargo ship set sail on the morning of August 15th. Zeng Lin picked up the ticket at the port opened in Yishui City at four o'clock in the afternoon and stayed in the guest house. After waiting for two days, the fleet gathered a certain number and went south under the escort of the frigate, passing by Lianyungang.
, Yangtze River Port, Qiantang Bay, Xinkaicheng, and finally arrived at Zhuxin City.
After disembarking at Zenglin Port, we arrived at the Central Railway Station.
Now, the train freight system in Guangdong is complete. Trains depart three times at eight o'clock, two o'clock at noon, and eight o'clock in the evening. As an outsider, Zeng Lin cannot buy An-2 transportation tickets.
Zeng Lin, who had not returned home for several years, observed the current situation in the unified felling area without closing his eyes along the way. All these changes were too great.
He found that from the northernmost Yishui Port to the prosperous Zhuxin City, the road system all followed a standard.
The passages in the business district are all six-meter-wide cement roads, and the mechanical vehicles are also on rails of the same width, or roads with concrete embossing.
The clothing of personnel, whether they are station administrators or street workers, are also made of the same cloth.
In his free time while waiting for the bus, Zeng Lin tried out the entertainment electronic equipment at the station, a machine with a black and white screen. This machine only supported one game, namely Three Kingdoms, playing cards, and conversation and chatting.
The Tongfu District seems to be a society with a lot of rules and regulations. While pursuing efficient operation, it is also striving to expand new spaces for free exchanges of people.
[The Internet, night shops, and the free expansion of these new technologies are often deliberately turned a blind eye by those forces that are locked and suppressed in the old areas. This is also the inspiration of the commanding area to the comrades in the desperate plane! Don't
Follow the lighthouse's gourd and scoop to develop freedom, and develop freedom recognized by the people according to your own development.】
August 20th.
Zeng Lin returned to Ji'an City, and it happened to be a rainy day.
He was holding a black umbrella and wearing long rubber boots, stepping on the water in the puddles. After stepping into his hometown, he clearly felt a chill. Compared with the prosperity outside, the interior of Ji'an City was obviously deserted.
Not even a transportation station.
After all, the traffic station had lights on, an automatic coin sales department, and even a radio broadcasting equipment, playing the now quite popular "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" (the culture of the plane of death). Zeng Lin got off the bus.
At that time, I saw a few familiar old people from Chengbang gathering to play cards under the lights of the station.
And across the five-kilometer crossroads to Ji'an City, there was only dim gas light.
Zeng Lin sighed and hurriedly walked towards the clan's meeting hall. Oh, when he entered the city, he could already smell the smell of mechanical beasts (just like you can smell it before entering the zoo.)
On the tall buildings in Ji'an City, bells rang, announcing the good news that the head of the Zeng family had returned.
~
In 141, during the process of signing a treaty for the peaceful restoration of the newly established conquered area with Ji'an City and a series of other old city-states in the Guangdong area, neither Wei Keng nor the Crew Faction thought of ever vowing to have good relations with Ji'an City for generations.
But they are not sincere in suppressing these old cities.
It's just that old city-states like Ji'an City have too many remnants left and cannot keep up with the development of the times.
The old city-state cannot lose its glory, and still maintains its private mechanical beast as a legacy of the family's nobility.
However, the domestication of mechanical beasts like them makes the area unsuitable for economic development. In the Pandora Field environment, the effect of genetic contamination is something that must always be considered, just like the precision production of the old era must ensure dust prevention.
~
The existences such as Lugia and Kyogre in the Dominion Zone all use loyal beasts that actively connect to the human frequency band.
But even if they are transformed, the logging area has established a separate transformation field, which is far away from human settlements to prevent biological contamination.
However, Ji'an City maintains the old mechanical beast species and breeds them in a mixed manner, which puts the entire Ji'an City in a state of "substandard hygiene" in terms of food storage and breeding and assembly technology.
For reference, in the 21st century, food and medical production are not allowed due to excessive E. coli in nearby water sources.
The mechanical beasts in Ji'an City are the source of excessive standards and are as dirty as the water of the Ganges River. However, the old upper-class people in the city, like Ah San, are unrepentant and insist on taking a "shit bath" here.
The unified logging area cannot allocate industrial chains to these old areas.
In contrast, Shaoguang City, a place that was forcibly conquered back then, has developed very well in these years with a direct decree that no private mechanical beasts are allowed in the city.
It's so good that many of the old ruralists in Shaoguang City can now reflect on their own: the control area was occupied correctly back then. The good old city lord couldn't see the situation clearly, used his arms as a chariot, and did not overestimate his own capabilities.
Zeng Lin, an old-time elite who returned from the North, faced a dilapidated family with a lot of debt on his first day back home.
Many properties in the castle have been sold short, and it is now difficult to support the mechanical beasts at home.
~
As for Zeng Lin’s mission of spying on the commanding area of the Five Colors Alliance?
Ever since he got on the boat, bought a ticket and took the bus back, he has been recorded in the statistics file of the foreign population of the public security department of the Tongfa District.
Now he is being watched and paid close attention to by the Chaoyang working group in the uncontrolled area. He is now worth fifty thousand steel coins.
