Chapter 742 Chapter 17.18 Next Step

 In early 3234, under the escort of Anglo intelligence personnel.

The airship on which Her Royal Highness Princess Sherry was evacuated from the southern port. At this time, Her Royal Highness's face was much more mature and more charming than before, and her chest was much more bulging than a year ago.

At this time, Her Royal Highness the Princess looked at the homeland she had left and the people she had to leave.

The former Sky Empire was about to belong to Iron Star. But two hundred kilometers away, the troops led by the man who loved her (Ludis) were also surrounded by heavy troops.

During this great upheaval, the empire's royal family bet on many forces, but this time they all failed.

Iron Star, a force that emerged from rural areas, has a strong determination to eradicate all conservative factions within the territory.

The "Gryphon Emblem", the symbol of the past rule, has never had any intersection with Enma's circle. (God actually arranged it, but he didn't rely on it.)

Next to the carved railings of the airship, Sherry's white waistband was tightly wrapped around her abdomen, regaining its fullness, but the lost flesh and blood still made Sherry's heart worried.

There are certain things that she cannot take away. At this time, she must resume her status as a princess and continue the political marriage that has been planned for a long time.

Sherry silently clasped her hands together and prayed to the God of Destiny, praying that the person she loved would be safe.

Somehow, this prayer was answered.

...Fate has placed a heavy bet on Princess Sherry. Of course, some people have not made a wish, but there will be a "blazing star" coming in time and space...

On the industrial tower of Bolang City, as the airship of the Anglo "Business Group" was far away from the coastline, Seagate, who was a step late, looked at the airship's navigation system and waited for it to flash away.

At this time, she was holding a baby in her arms, a baby that was just one hundred days old. Seagate's figure was as flat as before, and it was obvious that this baby was not hers.

The princess stayed here to bring the child to the father. Seagate did not know at this time that "Ludis, who was far away in the encirclement, was about to leave in grief and anger."

If Ludis knew that the shot he made ten months ago had results, he might not have given up in a hurry.

After watching the princess leave, Seagate looked at the baby in his arms. This child was destined to have nothing to do with the royal family of the Sky Empire.

The baby twirled his fingers and looked up at the sky, with stars reflected in his pupils. It looked like - Seagate couldn't help but whisper: "It's really cute."

This is a boy with buds on his crotch and he is very well-behaved. He is just two months old and will use different cries to indicate whether it is time to pee or to feed.

…The stars in the sky twinkle and shine…

Fire Emblem Calendar Year 3234, February 22nd, Iron Star officially liberated the entire territory of the original Sky Empire. Due to the successful war in the founding war, the national borders remained unchanged at this time. There were no territorial disputes with the outside world.

Moreover, the current leadership of Iron Star and the old ruling class of the Sky Empire are two different types of people, which means that in terms of "legal authority", they will not inherit all the economic treaties signed by the rulers of the Sky Empire during the defeat phase.

Not only does the "economy" not endorse the "investment" of international capital that intervened in the sky in advance, but even the "Kaidi City" that has been changed now, this thorn in the entire defense line, has become the iron star's fault.

scope of management.

The Kingdom of Osima has declared several times that it will use war to get it back, but facing the current Iron Star, it has no confidence and can only postpone it temporarily.

With the current world situation, Iron Star can afford to hold off now.

Because as far as the situation in Wanlun Continent at this time is concerned, it is beneficial to countries with a system like Iron Star, but not beneficial to those middle and lower reaches countries in the imperialist capital system whose industrial technology is at a disadvantage.

…A country, like a person, needs to know itself.…

Two thousand years ago in modern times, many theories of "The Lord is the last institution of mankind" were canonized. "Openness = correctness" was also dogmatized.

Textbooks after the 27th century: The mind must be open no matter what, but economically, it is like putting on a quilt. When the weather is cold, you need to add more, and when the weather is hot, you need to reduce it. It has nothing to do with absolute correctness. It depends on the overall environment.

When deciding to open up the economy, Eastern strategists had a prerequisite judgment, that is, there would be no global war in the short term. Note: This was a judgment made ten years before Mao Zi was finished. The strategic vision is not too forward-thinking.

When there is no war in the world, it means that conflicts have eased, and global raw materials and technologies have begun to be exchanged.

At the same time, it happens that a new round of technological explosion brings about an economic explosion. At this time, the global market boom is filled with a large number of basic technologies and basic materials that can be purchased, allowing emerging groups that are interested in developing industries to save their own "advantageous industries." Narrator: Small money

Under the magic of money, everyone is a lively and heroic man. Lying flat can only mean that it is difficult to make money and it is difficult for everyone to develop.

During the dividend period, opening up the economy to the outside world will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to industrial countries that already have an industrial foundation! It can quickly improve the production chain.

Zhongguo's follow-up historical research experts commented on the 21st century: More importantly, because economic stimulation in the international market can stimulate you, it can also stimulate others. You grabbed a bite, the little days next door, and little Asan, Nanyang Thousand Islands,

The upgrading of the technological industry chain will have to lag behind.

In terms of technology, as long as you are faster than your opponent, you are one step ahead and can seize the market!

One step behind will cost several times and dozens of times. This is why, despite the rapid advancement of intelligent technology throughout the 21st century, there are still so few late-developing industrial countries.

However, when the general environment changes, for example, in the 23rd century, there are bottlenecks in technological advancement, economic stagnation, and accumulation of contradictions.

The major powers have blocked technical information from the outside world and blocked the raw material market. Apart from being flooded with bonds, there is no real goods in the market. If you choose not to protect and open the economy, oh well, it will be like a colony coming to your doorstep.

... Wearing sweatshirts in the summer and adding a quilt in the winter is just a matter of time...

Wei Keng's judgment on Wanlun Continent is that there will be a war in the next ten years!

The Thunder and Flash Alliance lost a lot of financial resources in the battle against the Sky Empire. With the rise of Iron Star, they didn't get any benefits? Oh, they got some gold coins!

Gold coins are the equivalent.

The problem on Wanlun Continent now is that the richest people do not lack gold coins. They cannot support the expansion of shipbuilding, steel, and electricity consumption. However, the majority of people who want to consume do not have gold coins, their own labor force is idle, and they cannot stimulate industry.

develop.

Since commercial speculation is not regulated, the price of gold coins corresponding to actual materials can fluctuate up to ten times in different economic cycles!

For example, when a country is defeated in a war, gold coins will suddenly appreciate in value, and the capital speculative groups holding gold coins will also frantically harvest the defeated country.

The Anglo nobles who were born as pirates thousands of years ago and are now cleansed but still haven't lost their "family education" have been choosing Tiantian as the defeated country with their eyes shining brightly, trying to force Tiantian to open the country and take away everything in their family.

Put them on the "street" at the door and sell them at low prices.

Everything here includes "minerals", "farmland", "port cities that absorb cheap labor", "freedom of customs tariff adjustment" and "currency issuance rights".

At this time, the Anglos smashed several times the gold coins back to the Iron Star to devour the Empire of the Sky. After destroying a country's economic immunity, they made profits by selling high and buying low, which were far greater than dozens or hundreds of times the compensation.

For the old capitalist powers, the biggest problem is not what you "compensate" for, but what you take the initiative to sell at a low price when you are short of money after defeating the country.

For example, after the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty's compensation of 200 million taels was just a drizzle. The terrible thing is that all 200 million taels had to be paid in pounds sterling (in their small days, they borrowed pounds sterling to fight wars), which directly led to the sharp depreciation of silver against the pound. Since the Ming Dynasty,

The East, which absorbed the world's silver, saw its wealth shrink directly and had to exchange more than ten times the silver for British paper pounds. No amount of silver could withstand the printing press. This was a systematic plunder of the ancient East by modern finance.

Now that Iron Star has completed control of Sky Kingdom, it has built a financial system that the Anglos have used every word to denigrate as "closed," "conservative," and "lacking flexibility and innovation."

Iron Star now maintains a country's core capital, with factories running at full power, and agriculture steadily accumulating capital with abundant technical capital. External wolves like Anglo come over with gold coins and can only buy industrial "consumer goods."

, unable to grab core production resources. Farmers and rural areas also have a brain at this time: things that can continue to make money are family heirlooms and cannot be sold.

Enma: The gold coins lost in the empire’s reparations in the past few years can be regarded as aid to poor countries. After the economic crisis, we will eat whatever we eat today and spit it out tomorrow.

…For national capital, the most important thing is internal stability…

As long as a powerful country is stable enough, the export of productivity will make surrounding forces dependent on itself economically, militarily, and culturally.

Even if there are only a few hundred tons of symbolic gold in the national treasury, it still has abundant capital.

But if military armaments, food, and core industrial components are all dependent on the outside world, then you have stockpiled a huge amount of precious metals and are still short of capital (not to mention that in recent times, those international companies stocked green paper.

.)

If you have abundant capital, you can develop science and technology. Capital is not necessarily gold. As long as you are productive enough and others need you, your banknotes (credit commitment) are also capital.

…In the 27th century, Wei Kengxuan’s history electives included capital in the ancient industrial era…

Iron Star has now completed effective capital integration after the Great Revolution, which is beyond the times.

What is "capital"? "Capital" is the certificate that allows people within the scope of influence to willingly contribute labor force.

Iron Star is in the urban area near the Kingdom of Osima in the east. Tens of thousands of newly graduated science and engineering students were transferred here to start the next step of industrial development.

These skilled workers have been allocated with living expenses and guaranteed future social status.

Converted into gold coins, this is "sky-high capital" that even the two first-class powers, Anglo and Ver, would frown upon. Although the gold coins they hold are more than twenty times that of Iron Star. But during this period, Iron Star and the International

It has not yet been integrated, and external capital cannot introduce large-scale "immigration" of technical personnel to live in unstable external areas.

... According to Iron Star's propaganda, the Anglosphere is not a paradise "flowing with milk and honey", but all skilled personnel will not immigrate...

"Technology determines the future!" This sentence is more valid than the earth in today's era.

Technology is not about the accumulation of data, but about industrial groups operating systems.

When the Iron Star land cruiser entered the imperial capital, the technical guards leading the team were pushing away the sky empire treasury.

Iron Star's technicians have discovered many technological equipment accumulated over hundreds of years, and their strong curiosity is driving the scientific research department to race against time to decipher it.

April 15th. A certain technician in the scientific research team "Su Ni" (one of Wei Keng's splits) made a discovery

Su Ni picked up a crystal stone on the experimental platform. This stone had lost the blessing of divine grace and was said to be an ordinary stone. After prying it open, it was found that the inside was as shiny as the fractured interface of dense granite.

crystal.

Wei Keng rubbed his eyes and sighed. He knew the basic situation of this kind of crystal in the "personal system". It was the same as the "mental power crystallization" technology of ancient arcane mages.

It's just that ancient arcanists were not good at culture and education, and could only use their personal "cognitive" mental power to lock in the rules of fluctuations around them. However, only by popularizing science can a fixed reflection be formed in the ethereal world, which can make the condensed matter physical constants very special.

Stable, mass-produced, superconducting and semiconductor materials with excellent properties.

Of course, once awareness is spread, even if there are only tens of thousands of people in the scientific and technological circle, the effect of "idealism and stable materialism" will make the technology of this plane very easy to develop.

For example: below two nanometers on earth, wafer technology processing technology is very complicated, but in a special concept field, all processes can be completed very easily.

…In the era of optical brain, the initial materials have been found,…

Iron Star, no, the entire Wanlun Continent must face energy and information if it wants to break through.

There is a saying on earth that says that scientific and technological progress is the discovery of new energy sources and new ways to boil water, while the progress of civilization is the recording and transmission of information.

Information recording and transmission in the main world: In ancient times, starting from knotting ropes to record events, then moving to paper, and then disks, the scale of information recording became larger and larger. And information transmission also started from early oral transmission, letters, wireless telegraphs, and submarine optical fibers.

, and now the plane nodes are transmitting information faster and faster.

In the multidimensional plane, quantum effects permeate various concepts, and the development of concepts has many possibilities, so technology is also uncertain. But as long as a certain technology is used more and more and forms a broad conceptual law, other technologies

The route was blocked.

...How the Wanlun Continent will go in the next era is in the hands of Wei Keng. The gods have mixed interests here and cannot agree...

Now there are at least three types of Iron Stars, indicating the possible development of computer technology systems in the future.

The first is electronics. Well, this depends on whether the semiconductor components are stable in nature. If they start to develop from diodes and are gradually accepted by people and form the concept of the world, then one micron integrated circuit can be integrated. In the future, one hundred nanometers will be

, forty nanometers, twenty nanometers, and technology continues to approach physical limits.

The second is the optical brain system. The photoelectric effect is still very impressive now, and light information can be processed through crystals. This technology is currently seriously disturbed by quantum tunneling. When light is solidified, it will be easily controlled by mental power, so that this thing is

It can directly complete soul condensation. Some dark mages in the arcane era relied on this kind of knowledge to prepare "soul gems".

As for the third type, it is standard black technology.

This is a steam computer. Under the protection of the Lord of Steam, the steam properties of this world have more flexible properties, and can become superfluid or viscous objects.

Wei Keng: The rules of "fluid" in this world are obviously more complicated.

The Wei Keng Cluster understands the development of "future high-speed computers" under the main rules of the "God of Steam", so a large number of small holes are drilled on a ceramic component, and each hole can pass steam. And water can be "

The "three-phase state" (solid, liquid, gas) attribute will also undergo flexible property transformation in each component air cavity. In this way, the different flow rates of the output steam will have calculation effects.

Of course, in the more advanced future interstellar era, "helium" is used as the fluid medium on the graphite semipermeable membrane, and the computing speed can reach the speed of a computer chip.

Wei Keng: The initial stage of steam computers relies on the calculations of mechanical gears such as difference engines. In the future, the flow rate can be faster and detonation can be used for calculations.

...Physical rules on multiple planes can support multi-linear development of technology, but due to the competition for "faith", in the end, only one technology can be chosen...

A certain inventor's Wei Keng split made dozens of such steam computers, which have been successfully used in textile companies to calculate the texture of yarns.

What Su Ni didn't know was that his invention was now attracting a lot of attention from the God of Steam.

In the past, all believers used difference engines to calculate, but Wei Keng's was pure steam.

The limit of airflow is also a speed of several thousand meters per second, which is slower than current, but completely faster than the differential engine.

Moreover, once this superfluid computer system is enlarged, it consumes little energy and can be used boldly in nuclear war without worrying about being burned out.

More importantly, airflow can also conduct electricity, and electrical calculations can be completed based on this.

If the mainstream first-generation computer concept is stable under the use of steam, then steam can become the supreme god of this world and the future.

Of course, it is a pity now that Wei Keng's separated mortals are not qualified to be favored by the God of Steam (qualified to be used as chess pieces) - the sharp blades Wei Keng carries are even repulsive to higher industrial gods, let alone

The God of Steam.

Wei Keng is a mortal, but he is not an ordinary "ordinary".

Mortals are "non-specific", and this "non-specificity" can be all kinds of depravity in low-level tastes. But for Wei Keng, a mortal with a strong soul, his "interest" is to use various ways to change the world.

Let it develop in the long run.

Wei Keng will not stand with the Steam God, but as long as Wei Keng has a little willpower and leans in this direction, the Steam God can make huge gains in this world.

So when "Su Ni" was invented, the Steam God quietly blessed the people around Su Ni. This small action did not destroy the consensus of the gods on the big goal, but it caused some tacit understanding between the gods.

Calculate each other.

…All “inadvertent” favoritism is seen as “deliberate” in the eyes of other stakeholders…

The perspective returns to Swan City, which is the capital of Iron Star. As the first city, it is close to the core area of ​​​​the sky. It is geographically suitable for leading the country, and it can also avoid the decaying advantages of the old imperial capital.

In August 3234 of the Fire Emblem Calendar, when everyone agreed that Enma would be the first leader, it was Willy who was actually elected. As the most powerful general in the Iron Star, Enma retreated bravely.

.

Faced with people's questions, Wei Keng just answered Willie: "What is the purpose of our revolution? To get rid of an emperor? No, it is to get rid of the entire royal power system and establish a consensus. Anything that hinders the formation of this consensus

It’s all a historical retrogression.”

Willy: "Enma, although the situation is just balanced now, what if you leave now?"

Wei Keng: "I don't want what happened to Ludis to happen to you, Bess, or Anjiexin! When I first met him, he was full of confidence, and so were you. Even though a guy like Ludis,

Confidence is easy to make mistakes, but it is better than the "stale" old-fashioned bureaucracy. Willy, we are comrades. We are in control of the state's public institutions, and we should allow "those who are led by us to make mistakes." The key point to grasp is that entrenched in the state's public institutions

The kind of person who “knows his mistakes and never corrects them”.

Willy looked at Wei Keng and took a deep breath: "Yes, he is a comrade. But I..."

Enma: "But you can't say it. Those old-fashioned parties nowadays, right? - If you can't say it, you have to fight. Do you expect me to be able to suppress it alone? I can't suppress it. In the end, you didn't speak. I was talked about by a group of people.

Just saying that, he became the new emperor, this is a joke."
