Time flies, and the future is full of twists and turns.
When Wei Keng determines the direction and begins to execute the plan in an orderly manner, there is no sense of novelty in exploration. At the same time, after giving up all illusions, there is no sense of fear in facing various emergencies in the future.
From 1992 to 1998, two more five-year plans were completed.
Since the completion of the Meridian transportation hub, under the auspices of Carret, the Industrial Party has completed the energy network plan covering the northern territories, reaching the Southern Suspension Alliance, and the southernmost ports.
The rune technology in this world, the quantum tunneling energy network, is not a new technology.
Even if there are no arcane runes, high-level arcane mages from other worlds (planets) all use this technology to mobilize energy directly from their own arcane towers.
The difference lies in scale. The various equipment and technologies used in the industrial mass production of Fengfu Planet make the energy supply far wider than that of closed magicians on other planets.
Under the influence of "industry", instead of a few arcane mages building their own arcane towers, they provide "exclusive" energy supplies to a small number of teleportation array locations.
Rather, it is the wind energy, geothermal energy, water energy, and solar energy collected in various areas on the wind-touched planet.
Of course, these low-density energy also requires a large number of cold and heat exchangers, wires, and photovoltaic panels to be processed into high-density energy. Then it is transmitted to major cities and major transportation lines.
This is equivalent to the gap between the 20th century, when there were only a thousand telegraph rooms in Asia, and the 21st century, when one billion people have a mobile phone that can send messages.
The breadth, extent and fineness of the energy network are closely related to the infrastructure.
The accumulation of infrastructure is like the collection of old farmers bending down to pick up wheat ears in the fields again and again. It requires patience and an ordinary mind.
~
After 3598 years of wind and wind, under the leadership of industrial will, Northern United Industries builds dozens of large-scale geothermal power stations as planned every year. The salt extracted from seawater is produced to produce molten salt, which is used for geothermal energy extraction, becoming
The most stable source of energy now.
The energy now abundant in the energy network is open to the public according to the IP rationing system.
After 1995, Austrian apprentices can get three kilowatt hours of electricity consumption per day as long as they apply for a card. Of course, Austrian apprentices must work to recharge their batteries.
The beneficiaries of industrialization in the new era praise Austrian industry for quickly turning the Middle Ages into the end of the century.
United Industries' airship floated in the sky with a banner of "Stability and Improvement".
But in fact, with the emergence of industry, the economic development of the entire continent has become unbalanced. This imbalance is harmful to the future development of industry.
Now even those arcane apprentices in the Xuanao Alliance who work for "official magicians" feel that their lives are miserable. They spend more than half of every year following the Meridian train to the north to work as migrant workers.
As for the people in the agricultural areas of the Egg Empire, with the advancement of modern productivity, they were quickly abandoned by the feudal lords who lacked the ability to govern, and a large number of escaped slaves emerged.
From the perspective of the purpose of disseminating ideas, the ‘industry’ has to take the blame for these.
~
In the year 3598, Xiange City has developed into a modern city. Of course, due to Wei Keng's planning, the number of skyscrapers has not become oppressive.
Each district has wide avenues and rows of green plants. Buildings hundreds of meters tall are only allowed to be located three or four kilometers apart.
Such buildings are also public buildings, and the property rights are held by the local public, and others can only lease them.
The reason why the New York-style skyscrapers in the main world's lighthouse country are densely populated is due to competition among real estate businessmen. After inflating bubbles in luxury areas, they pile up as many floors as possible to increase wealth.
In fact, for an industrial city to maintain normal transportation, logistics, and transfer of industrial materials, the system required is not as complex as it is in the 21st century.
It's just that in the industrial age, in order to maintain a special status, the ruling class would add special structures, finance, insurance and other settlement systems for their own needs.
Ninety-nine percent of residents do not use luxury hotels, guesthouses, and buildings in the city.
These facilities are exclusively for the use of a small number of people, attracting a large number of non-manufacturing people to come to the city to engage in the tertiary industry, consuming the city's limited planning resources, and exacerbating the involution of all the middle and lower classes in the city.
A few people take advantage of the concentration of cities to control the largest population, and at the same time use their financial advantages to monopolize undervalued rural assets. When real estate of the same area in the city can be dozens or even hundreds of times that of surrounding real estate, the assets of the two places
In fact, there is a scissors gap that "cannot be refuted by any rhetorical modification".
Wei Keng came from the main world and experienced the Chinese plane. He deeply understood that "industry" is not perfect and has shortcomings.
In this world with the will of gods, don't expect "fate" to ignore the shortcomings of mortals. Gods are not that kind.
Therefore, Wei Keng set a standard line for the urbanization of northern industrial territories, which is to concentrate on manufacturing as the core and strictly guard against concentration for the sake of monopoly.
If 90% of a metropolis where tens of millions of people are crowded together are not engaged in substantive production, this means that the industry is improperly deployed and is sick.
Wei Keng: To carry out industrialization for the purpose of concentrating assets is the governance model of the Angsa colonial governor. That is, he only cares about taxation and does not care about the life and death of the basic people in the territory. For example, when colonizing the South Asian subcontinent, when the territory was hit by a disaster, disaster relief was not what he thought about.
, but how to ensure that tax revenue does not drop. As for whether this is civilized or barbaric, the standards of shame in the East and the West are different." (Real version by P agency players)
Building industry for people to live and work in peace and contentment is in line with Eastern governance thinking.
After 3598, after Wei Keng observed the increasing conflicts across the continent, the United Industry began to spread the construction equally to secondary townships and small towns, and connected them through good roads, energy, communications, and infrastructure.
In the current situation, under the barbaric development provoked by "science" and "machinery", "industry" is forced to expand, and due to the large scale of industry, the problems encountered are also huge.
As the conflicts in the southern capital grew more and more serious.
Wei Keng is certain that his "industry" will definitely encounter "fate targeting".
Wei Keng, who does not believe in "compassion" or "allies", is determined to consolidate his base.
Wei Keng: Facing the impact of the adverse tide, as long as a flag remains strong, it will always have the power to fight back.

The 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. On the Truth Alliance side of the Meridian Railway and the coastal trade cities further south, ultra-bright light spots have been formed, but in the surrounding areas
But he seemed a little shy.
For high-level arcane mages, the representative of the prosperity of arcane magic in the contemporary world is the huge city that shines with truth.
Bringing a bird's-eye view into the city of the Alliance of Truth, the bizarre buildings are connected by force fields to various suspended laboratories. The Offa Tower is no longer the Offa Tower in the past, it is all geometric, abrupt and innovative buildings (please refer to the recent ancient times)
Time: Big Pants 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 even more coquettish.
What flying broomsticks, oh, those are just the old almanacs of local idiots. Arcane mages also pay attention to trends.
When the resources are abundant, the nobles will demand good carriages and gorgeous clothes. In the past, the arcane mages had insufficient resources and could only live in poverty and poverty. But now that they have resources, they are quite avant-garde when it comes to spending money.
~
Compared with the Alliance for Truth, the Northern Industrial Party can be regarded as following a simple route.
Although high-rise buildings, electricity towers, and dams are built with huge amounts of money, there are very few floating sports cars to show the splendor of development. The city is still dominated by underground rails and public transportation, and the countryside
The main means of transportation is still the steam tractor.
Of course, there are also suspended aircraft, which are also used for public projects such as forest fire prevention, pest control, and land monitoring.
Unlike the "scientific" group, which is unconventional, the "industry" group sticks to standards.
On the northern coastline of the industrial territory, Wei Keng was walking barefoot on the beach full of pebbles and ice in his spare time, measuring the changes in the sea breeze here step by step.
At this time, Wei Keng no longer had the mechanical battle suit on him. These creations that enhance physical strength have long been unnecessary for Wei Keng, who is already a "human immortal".
In the past, I always wore one just for fun. Just like when boys were teenagers, they always liked to hold a plastic sword.
Wei Keng is now wearing the most ordinary 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.
The castle where Wei Keng was born has also been demolished, and every brick has been burned again, and then mixed with the roadbed materials used in road construction in various places to form an ordinary road. When the road breaks down in the future,
, these construction wastes will become materials for land reclamation.
What Wei Keng does now is to minimize the number of "special items" that people can sing about.
The mysticism of the arcane plane can reconstruct heroes and summon their power based on the remaining information of "leftover special items". This is the medium for many large-scale arcane spells after the legend.
In occultism: the more special the item, the more meaningful it is, and the more complete the summons to the hero.
Wei Keng was involved in the most advanced game, and he was playing against Shen Zhuan.
The power of the gods will tamper with the truth of the heroes in this summons, and then reconstruct the parallel timeline.
In the "Grand Arcana" that Wei Keng is about to construct, "one's own reality" must be able to withstand the impact of "infinite influences in the future".
Complex etiquette and peculiar hobbies are subject to speculation and revision.
Therefore, the "reality" you leave behind in the future is as simple as possible. It is best to let the common performance that the world has long been accustomed to.
Of course, such plainness is actually in line with Wei Keng’s own nature.
That is: as a middle-aged person, in the advancing trend of the times, you can stand and be pushed forward, or in the retrograde wind, you can lie down and not be led astray.

In December 3598, all villages in the north were fully electrified.
Steel plants, chemical plants, machinery factories and dozens of other places now have Wei Keng, and they all have Wei Keng working there.
Pandora's split mode is now used here by Wei Keng. This is the "non-stasis cloning technique" that Wei Keng has studied.
Nine-ring necromantic spell, stasis cloning: just like cloning, the difference is: when the main body is alive, the clone is in a stasis state and will not decay. Once the main body dies, the soul will be transferred to the clone and break away.
Stasis. If an entity has multiple clones, the soul will enter the most recently created clone.
Compared with the stasis cloning technique, Wei Keng's clones are all active and connected by soul. Once one individual dies, all individuals will be implicated by the soul and die. Compared with the stasis cloning technique, this technique loses its life-saving value.
It even increases the risk.
However, after Wei Keng recognized his direction, the purpose of using this arcane technique was not to save his life, but to live a more brilliant life.
Holding a spatula in one hand and a welding torch in the other.
Ten thousand years is too far away, just seize the day.
~
In the current "industrial" development presided over by Wei Keng, the romantic atmosphere of "grandeur" when looking at the overall situation, and the "sacred sense of mission" have been handed over to his students.
And in more and more places, I have become like a farmer who "works at sunrise and rests at sunset."
Workers have to abide by more production disciplines than farmers, but once you get used to it, it's almost the same. Just like high school has much more homework than elementary school, but the feeling of going to and from school is similar. In these most basic positions, Wei Keng also
Complying with more and more rules, Wei Keng crowded into the tram to and from work, read newspapers, and collected iron cards. He was fused with the spiritual atmosphere of ordinary people in this era.
In the future of Feng Fuxing, Master Wei will leave very difficult problems for mystics.
They could not find the "obvious material traces" (sacred relics) of Karite's influence on the world. For example, swords and guns, armor, rulers, compasses, cloaks and the like.
But the "strong causes" that influence the world actually exist. Since the beginning of the times, many changes in people have come from them.
For example: the format of safety notes, the habit of drinking a glass of milk in front of the industrial machinery structure.
There are also some inconspicuous habits. When you are too tired after get off work, you simply fry a meal of "fried eggs and tomatoes", or if your bones are a little slow, you find a table tennis table to play.
As Wei Keng becomes more and more prosaic, the "catastrophe against industry" is getting closer and closer.
Although the gods were covering up, the mortal heroes deployed by the gods could not hide the intentions of their actions. Wei Keng did not perform the arcane magic of "predicting fate", but based on the "development direction of social contradictions", "class contradictions" and other causes, Wei Keng Know what certain arrangements people want to make about themselves.
~
In the year 3599 of Feng Fu Li, in the capital of Aige.
The old emperor of the empire handed over the deputy command of the family knights to his young grandson, Danny.
This year, this young man was only sixteen years old. He was extraordinary in martial arts. Although he was young, he had already reached the threshold of a great knight.
Gun salutes sounded in the royal capital, everyone put on their new clothes, and the streets were cleaned spotlessly.
The sense of feudal rituals and majesty is very strong, but the chemical fiber clothes worn by the people and the cheap colorful plastic flowers make this celebration of a world without magic mysterious, but instead it is the wedding and funeral of a big family in second- and third-tier cities.
Compared with the middle-class culture derived from the explosion of productivity in the north, the "scientific competition" culture in the super-large cities of the Xuan'ao Alliance, and the "mechanical punk" culture of super-large gears, super-large transmission rods, and steel-shell fortresses further south.
The forces of the Old Kingdom, which were being imported by the economy, were the weak ones that were imported by the culture. The people of the middle and lower classes did not enjoy the dividends of the times, so when they passively entered the new era, they could only follow the pace of the first-mover areas and bear increasingly heavy burdens. pressure. The middle and upper middle and small nobles have adapted to the consumption of the industrial age.
Oh, this is how in modern times, the middle class in underdeveloped countries would find it quite funny to look back at the "petty bourgeoisie" that emerged in the pursuit of developed countries from the downstream of the times.
~
Although the Aige capital follows tradition, this royal family has always controlled capital. The output of its royal estate is increasing, and it monopolizes the natural resources of the mountains and rivers in the territory.
For example, in 3588, the steward of the royal family purchased core power generation equipment from the northern industrial territory and input power into the energy grid, earning a large amount of money from selling energy every year. So much so that in the past few years, the streets of the royal capital have become It's getting emptier and emptyer, but the palace is getting taller and taller.
In recent years, the knights' vehicles have changed from war horses to earth-moving dragons wearing heavy armor.
A tamed dragon weighing three to four tons consumes fifty kilograms of meat per day. As for fighting, it consumes even more. In the past, when the empire that unified an entire continent was at its most powerful, it could not afford to feed 1,500 people.
Head preparation.
But at the moment, Egger directly exceeded 2,000 heads.
In today's industrial age and agricultural age, the protein conversion rate depends on "the technology of giant rats and other magical creatures catalyzed by arcane mages."
And the Northern Industrial Party has completed the technology of converting straw waste into protein through bacteria.
The price of meat in this era is very cheap, but the only drawback is that it contains very little life information, making it easy for people to gain weight. In terms of attribute growth, it means simply increasing the health value, with a small amount of strength, agility, and perception not increasing.
~
On the streets of the palace, dragons wearing heavy steel armor walked neatly on the square, while in the sky were gryphon knights weighing only 700 kilograms, blocking the sky and bringing airflow that could clean the streets.
Whistling by.
In this world with limited energy levels, the current intelligence in the royal capital is still limited to understanding the war between the Xinghui Peninsula United Industries and the Sea Tribe. In their impression, their understanding of the northern mechanical armed forces can only eject steam crossbows, which is impossible.
A grand scene of "88 guns". (Iger's intelligence network is much weaker than that of the Truth Alliance.)
Therefore, in the eyes of the aging nobles of the royal capital, these biological combat units shining with magic are still a considerable force.
The gryphon knight's arcane hammer smashes down a ball of "heavy magnetic block" energy.
When this transparent energy ball hits the ground, it is like a balloon filled with water exploding on the ground. Effect: All items within a range of fifteen meters will be subject to a 5g fluctuating traction force. The feeling of a roller coaster is only 1g, blood
The oppressive feeling on the heart caused by the countercurrent is enough to choke. As for the arcane hammer, power-type soldiers without magic protection will bear 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 prevent the knights from blaming the king. In addition, in the past few years, the king has rewarded all kinds of medicines and wealth as much as possible.
The knight class, or the warrior class, is currently quite dissatisfied with the power of the merchants and bourgeois in Aignet.
The contemporary knight class of the royal capital has the urge to change the status quo through war.
Now as Prince Danny gradually leads the army, all the knights are looking forward to the class stability brought by meritorious promotion and the redistribution of wealth within the kingdom.
