Chapter 7.04 Weak divine power, strong divine power
Industry.
To explain the meaning from Chinese characters, karma means behavior.
Industry is the "working" industry.
From the perspective of the governing philosophy of Eastern culture, when a behavior is allowed to exist on a large scale and becomes an "industry", it must be a boost to stability.
Therefore, in the East in modern times, the reason why industry was strongly supported was to stabilize the society. It inherited the tradition of "relief through work" from the classical era.
Industry is "industry" in Western English vocabulary, which means hard work, craftsman production, and workshop.
In Western sociology, craftsmen gather together to unify tool production, and the focus is on creating wealth. If industry cannot create enough wealth, then it will be difficult to maintain its social operation.
In the twenty-seventh century, the mainstream civilization on earth’s understanding of the concept of industry basically stems from the above two categories.
Western object-viewing philosophy can identify and grasp the core of material operation and start the industrial revolution, while the social collaboration and joint participation of Eastern "humanistic philosophy" can also expand the scale of industry to unprecedented levels.
And in such a different world
If the industrial godhead is promoted by travelers with different civilization concepts on the earth, there will be huge differences due to the different purposes at the beginning.

In 3572, in Xiange Town, the Xuedang River was cut off and a dam was built. As the dam was closed, a rotor generator built by a small town craftsman shop with a large number of coils wound around it and cut magnetic lines began to collect the electrical energy here.
, and then sent to the capacitors made of graphene. In local terms, it is called a magic pool.
Oh, this process of stripping graphene and then arranging it requires relying on the arcane skills of this world to do it on a large scale: only a second-ring spell is needed to quickly and orderly arrange irregular graphite in nature on a microscopic level.
arrangement.
There is no shortage of knowledge in this plane that arcane mages covet in Master Wei's system database.
~
After the electricity was abundant, it was naturally used for forging machines. Wei Keng borrowed about 5,000 gold coins as start-up capital.
Although as an heir, there are still variables whether he can inherit this territory. But for businessmen, if they really become lords in the future, they will be doomed if they don't borrow money.
After receiving the money, Wei Keng, as the investor, signed a contract with Xinya Church, an important party in the construction of the dam. The contract specified the loan of farm tools and the method of purchasing agricultural products. Of course, the contract is not so dead. If the farmers because
If the harvest is not collected due to natural disasters, diseases, etc., there will also be loan reduction or exemption.
The natural disasters and diseases in this world are largely attributed to gods or curses. The traditional contract concept does not care about these. If you encounter such bad luck, it means that gods have not protected you.
Lady Sprout is not a powerful deity, and the church organization is quite loose.
Since the world has something like the art of food creation, which can make people starve to death, the matter of farming is not entirely determined by the sprouts. Gods such as Monsoon, Glory, and Earth are all involved. Her priesthood is only the last step: letting the seeds
Tenacious germination.
Wei Keng: If soilless cultivation and greenhouses are built in the future, the goddess of sprouts may have a stronger priesthood.
~
In the winter of 3572, food was successfully grown.
As the future lord, Wei Keng fulfilled his promise and only collected grain from farmers. Then he invited the priest of the Temple of Tire and reached a new contract with the temple here. The newly built granary will be under the protection of the God of Justice.
Down.
Because, on top of the fact that the granary is waterproof, fireproof, insect-proof, and dry, God knows whether there will be believers of some evil gods to cause trouble. As for the priests of the God of Justice, they will not work in vain. The contract clearly stipulates that enough
remuneration.
Even though there would be some corruption in the temple organization, Wei Keng felt that if he gave enough reward and put it on top of his belief in the roots of divine magic, he wouldn't be able to lose all the food, right?
System prompt: "If there is a large number of famines outside your ruling area, the priests of the God of Justice may find ways to bypass the contract, such as taking advantage of your other vital points to force you to let go of the contract and give up the ownership of the food.
.”
Wei Keng: "Yes, indeed. However, if that is the case, we can discuss it carefully. I am also happy to do righteous acts of kindness. As long as the responsibilities are clearly divided, we can make another contract.
Well, if I am willing, and the God of Order is also willing, then there should be no room for smart people to operate in the middle, unless there is the intervention of conspiracy and lie believers."
After the system paused for a few seconds, it responded: "God is not that gentle and will not engage in Tai Chi with you."
~
The ribbon was cut on the tall granary with the blessing of the temple priest.
Watching the carts of grain being transported to the warehouse, people believed that Tyre, the god of justice, could provide justice because of their own wealth.
And justice must also be reflected in certain important things and be respected.
In Xiange Town, the power of faith permeates the air.
The priests in the temple looked lofty, obviously receiving a response from their god. It seemed that this god also projected.
Wei Keng's contract with the God of Justice was taken seriously, and the God seemed to want to take the deal further.
~
In the supervisor's space.
Bai Linglu: "Wait, something is wrong."
Qin Xiaohan did not deny Bai Linglu, but cooperated in searching for information.
Bai Linglu opened the interface and had a conversation with Wei Keng.
Bai Linglu: "Congratulations, you helped a god."
Wei Keng, who was in the material world, breathed out: "Reaching a contract? This is the necessary direction of development." Feeling that Bai Linglu's inexplicable words may have the meaning of questioning, he further explained: "The existence of gods in this world is objective.
In fact, if you want to develop something, you can’t go around them.”
Bai Linglu nodded, transferred the information found by Qin Xiaohan, took a look at it and said: "The power of this god has gathered, and he has begun to instruct his believers to do some things."
Wei Keng: "Well, is it aimed at me?"
Bai Linglu: "Yes."
Wei Keng: "You want to mess with me?"
Bai Linglu: "I want to support you to become a lord. Of course, if you are willing to go further, they will support you to become the heir to the empire. As a descendant of the gods, you are indeed a potential stock."
Wei Keng: "Is this, help?"
Bai Linglu: "When mortals trade with gods, gods always take advantage."
After saying this, she gave Wei Keng time to react.
Wei Keng looked at the interface for a while and rubbed his forehead: "My mind is not that clear. You should explain it carefully."
Bai Linglu: "When gods make deals with mortals, mortals often help gods expand their faith, and gods bless mortals with powerful magic or a high social status. But you don't have either.
lack."
As a time traveler, Wei Keng cannot be considered an ordinary mortal and does not pursue power and wealth in this world.
As for social status, what kind of social status would a person who has been selling pancakes for decades care about?
A consciousness that can directly push across the starry sky battlefield is itself an existence that suppresses a party's destiny. Does it need recognition from the gods?
This is just like, in modern times, the world's largest industrial output value, supercomputing, and aerospace are close to the highest level in the world. Does it still need free media to conduct value evaluation before it can obtain legal status like a small African country?
National character is different from national character, and personality and personality are also different.
~The main world that travels through many planes is equivalent to the multiverse where arcana exists.
And Wei Keng, the top conscious being in the plane war, is also equal to the gods of this world. It's just that Wei Keng's character is too honest! It's easy to be regarded as a mortal by the guys here.
~
Wei Keng paused: "Indeed, I don't lack anything, but what do you do now? Refuse?"
Bai Linglu: "Please keep your distance. When dealing with gods, you must be very vigilant. What they give you will definitely cost you. Even gods who preach order and justice are very calculating."
On the street, Wei Keng looked at the people who were praying to the gods with their hands on their chests and nodded silently.
Wei Keng: “I understand, when doing things in this world, you cannot expect smooth sailing. Anything that I am the main promoter of, God is much involved in it. After the result is achieved, my “elements” will be in the whole event.
The proportion in the chain will decrease."
Bai Linglu did not continue his long speech and nodded: "My dear, I won't disturb you anymore. Just continue with your plan."
…
In the supervisor's space, when Bai Linglu hung up, Qin Xiaohan couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you tell him about that!"
Bai Linglu's expression was calm: "I have said everything that needs to be said to him. There is no need to say anything else. If I say it, it will only make people disgusted."
The overall analysis of Wei Keng’s mission by the Monitor team is now as follows:
Wei Keng's behavior of achieving the industrial concept is likely to result in a weak god. If the operation is better, he may become a medium god. But in fact, if you follow the most effective strategy, you can reach a strong god.
This is because when Wei Keng completes the industrial concept, it requires the cooperation of multiple parties.
For example, in terms of agricultural cooperation and warehouses based on the reputation of the Temple of Justice, Wei Keng has left room, and these "rooms" will be taken over by other related gods.
Bai Linglu's so-called "everything that needs to be said has been said" actually includes cooperation with gods to achieve industrial concepts, which will weaken the power of gods.
For example, Ms. Sprout can only manage a few functions such as germination and rebirth of plants. Therefore, she cannot achieve such a domineering concept as the Eastern "She Ji".
Wei Keng regards industry as a necessary procedure for stabilizing society and a manifestation of kindness.
But a kind heart is sometimes a stumbling block to becoming a god.
In the Mediterranean system, the "industrial" godhead is determined, which can create a lot of wealth and can also start wars.
Such a priesthood can inspire the believers' aspirations and make them stronger.
~
This is actually the difference between Eastern and Western philosophy. The Godhead is an overview of the key concepts in the West. The East, on the other hand, talks about "Tao". "Tao" is not the key point. Tao is a ubiquitous element, and Tao is not isolated.
This is like the difference between Eastern and Western painting art: Western paintings have a central observation point, but when you appreciate them, they are hung in art exhibitions so that each painting with an observation center can be compared with each other. In the East, it is a scroll.
The landscape painting slowly unfolding in the scroll adopts a perspective that looks at the overall situation.
It’s not that Wei Keng didn’t understand when industry was most impactful in history (in modern times, several world wars were the embodiment of industry’s ruthless power), but he still chose the most harmonious one based on the overall concept.
~
Therefore, Bai Linglu was not happy with this mission!
Because the industrial godhead assigned to Wei Keng is too small, Wei Keng’s inherent overall development ability cannot be shown at all. How strong is Wei Keng in the Pandora plane? Industry, agriculture, technology, education, military, strategy
, although each item is what he himself calls the so-called "middle-class appearance", but when integrated together, it is overwhelming.
So before the time travel, Bai Linglu complained to his aunt: "Qin Tianfang is giving blind orders. The multiverse is not suitable for Wei Keng to expand at all. This time, most of the launch is mediocre. If there is even the slightest expansion, he
(Wei Keng) can make our seemingly simple things extremely tragic."
~
Turn the perspective back to the material plane,
Twelve-year-old Karit (Wei Keng) rode a white horse by the river to visit the rows of bungalow workshops owned by him. These workshops made him a big bourgeois in this land in less than half a year.
Oh, even though I still owe several thousand gold coins in foreign debt, no one would doubt that I can't pay it back.
The stored grain and the ironware produced are all best-selling goods, and it is impossible not to sell them. The specific performance of credibility is that if bonds are issued at this time, they will definitely be snapped up, indicating that the credibility is strong. On the contrary, if a forced apportionment is required before they can be sold,
If you go, it means that you are overdrafting the credibility of the rule.
But, this is not cost-effective for a mage. The purpose of building an energy station (magic tower) by an arcanist is not to be wasted on mortals. The support of mortals is of no use to the arcane path.
The arcanist himself is the most potential industrial consumer. The more powerful the arcanist is, the greater the energy he consumes.
Therefore, arcanists praise knowledge, but do not devote themselves to spreading knowledge, or sharing the ability to explore knowledge.
This is like the global technology under the American imperialism in modern times. The high-tech master is willing to share his values, but whoever wants to share his energy (oil) will immediately fall out.
Wei Keng, the magic tower, is nothing new to the great arcanists.
What's strange is the energy distribution.
In the contract signed by Wei Keng, he can only use 10% of the energy, and the rest will be used for the production of daily necessities for the people.
Many lord mages also used their own arcane magic to make their territories prosperous, which was normal, normal. Well, it was just that in the contract, his share was reduced to ten percent. Wei Keng was willing to do so.
~
Suddenly, Wei Keng stopped in front of a workshop. At sixteen o'clock, he noticed something unusual. Then Wei Keng frowned.
Wei Keng walked into the factory, and every worker was sweating. When the supervisor saw the young and excessive Wei Keng walking in, he immediately stepped forward to accompany him.
~
When the future lord, who was just 1.7 meters tall and in good shape, was about to become the center of the crowd, Wei Keng pushed them away and walked straight to the production line.
When approaching the workers, these workers were obviously affected, waiting quietly for questioning like tame animals. This is the effect brought about by the high charm attribute.
Wei Keng took the workers' hands and looked at them, then asked each worker about their wages.
Oh, this process caused the expressions of the supervisors behind to change.
After asking questions, Wei Keng did not say anything, but smiled and paid each worker twenty copper coins for lost work time. The production line soon restarted.
Mr. Wei did not reprimand the supervisors on the spot and show off his ruling charm. Extremely high "charm" value and casual attitude will have a mental impact on the crowd.
Half an hour later, Wei Keng jumped onto the high wall of the factory in front of the supervisor, took out a detection crystal and placed it on it to install a camera. At the same time, he took out a hammer and looked at the blind spot of the factory corridor.
Pinned the "Report Mailbox".
After doing all this, Wei Keng rubbed his head and walked to the factory office while checking the system information, leaving behind the supervisors who wanted to attack the lower-level workers but had to restrain themselves.
~
Wei Keng said to himself: People have mental fluctuations, and in the environment of this world, the accumulation of negative mental fluctuations will cause pollution. No wonder no mages allow a large number of mortals to participate in the production of their arcana, and most of them tend to use constructs
Mechanical magic power puppets are produced.
Wei Keng sighed: "People in industrial production need to restrain their emotions. Can only ordinary people do it?"
