Chapter 742 Chapter 17.18 Next step

Early 3234, under the escort of Anglo intelligence agents.

The airship that Her Royal Highness Princess Xuelisi was on was evacuated from the southern port. At this time, Her Royal Highness's face was much more mature than before, and she was also a little more charming. Her chest was much more protruding than a year ago.

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

The former Sky Empire will soon belong to Iron Star.And two hundred kilometers away.The army led by the person who loved her (Ludis) was also surrounded by heavy soldiers.

In this catastrophe, the royal family of the empire bet on many forces, but this time they all failed.

Iron Star, a force rising from rural areas, has a strong determination to eradicate all conservatives in the territory.

The once-ruling symbol of the "Griffin Badge" has never had any intersection with Enma's circle. (God actually arranged it, but it didn’t happen.)
Beside the carved railing of the airship, Xue Lisi's white corset was tightly wrapped around her abdomen, regaining her grip, but Xue Lisi's heart was always concerned about the lost flesh and blood.

Some things she cannot take away. At this time, she must resume her princess status and continue the political marriage that has been set long ago.

Xue Lisi put her hands together silently, praying to the god of fate, praying that the person she loves can be safe.

Somehow, this prayer was answered.

...Fate has cast a heavy bet on Princess Xuelisi. Of course, some people did not make a wish, but there are "blazing stars" coming from 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 behind, looked at the airship navigation and waited for it to go away.
At this moment, in her arms was a baby, a baby that was just a hundred days old.Seagate's figure is now as flat as ever, and it is clear that this child is not hers.

The princess stayed here and wanted to bring the child to the father. Seagate didn't know at this time, "The Ludis who is far away in the encirclement is about to leave in grief and anger."

If Ludis knew that the shot he made ten months ago had the result, he might not have let go hastily.

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

The baby wrung its fingers and looked up at the sky, with the stars reflected in its pupils, it seemed—— Seagate couldn't help whispering: "It's really cute."

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

...the stars in the sky twinkle and twinkle...

In the 3234th year of the Fire Emblem, on February 2nd, Iron Star officially liberated the entire territory of the former Sky Empire. Since the Battle of the Founding of the Nation was fought beautifully, the national border has not changed at this time.There are no territorial disputes with the outside world.

Moreover, Iron Star's current leadership and the old ruling class of the Sky Empire are two types of people, which means that they will not inherit all the economic treaties signed by the ruler of the Sky Empire in the defeat stage in terms of "legal system".

It's not just that the "economy" doesn't endorse the "investment" that doesn't allow international capital to intervene in the sky in advance, even the "City of Kaidi", which has been changed now, exists on the entire defense line, and it has become the core of Iron Star. scope of governance.

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

The current world situation, Iron Star can afford it now.

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

…Countries are the same as people, the most important thing is self-knowledge. …

Before 2000 years ago in modern times, many theories that "the master is the last system of human beings" were regarded as the standard. "Open = Right" is also dogmatized,

In the textbooks after the 27th century: the mind must be open no matter what, but economically, this is like covering a quilt. When the weather is cold, it must be increased, and the weather must be decreased. It has nothing to do with absolute correctness, but depends on the overall environment.

When deciding to open up the economy, Eastern strategists have such a prejudgment that there will be no global war in the future for a short time.Note: This is a judgment made ten years before Maozi is finished, and the strategic vision is not advanced.

When there is no war in the world, it means that the contradictions have eased, and the global raw materials and technologies have begun to communicate with each other.

At the same time, a new round of technological explosion has brought about an economic explosion. At this time, the global market is booming and there are a lot of basic technologies and basic materials that can be bought, allowing emerging groups interested in developing industries to accumulate their own "advantageous industries."Narrator: Under the magic of small money, everyone is a hero who is alive and well. Lying flat can only mean that money is not easy to earn, and everyone is not easy to develop.

During the bonus period, opening up the economy to the outside world will definitely do more good than harm for 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 the economic stimulus in the international market can stimulate you, and it can also stimulate others. Chain upgrades will have to fall behind.

In terms of technology, as long as you are faster than your opponent, you will win one step faster and you will be able to seize the market!

One step behind, the cost is several times and tens of times.This is why there are still so few late-developing industrialized countries during the rapid advancement of smart technology throughout the 21st century.

However, when the general environment changes, such as in the 23rd century, there will be bottlenecks in technological advancement, economic stagnation, and the accumulation of contradictions.
The major powers have blocked all technical information from the outside world, and are stuck in the raw material market. Apart from the bonds that are flooding the market, there is no dry goods at all.If you choose not to protect and open the economy, oh well, it is tantamount to sending a colony to your door.

…Wear undershirts in summer and add quilts in winter, it’s a matter of time…

What Wei Keng judged for this Wanlun Continent is that there will be a big war in the next ten years!

The Thunderbolt Alliance lost a lot of financial resources in the battle against the Sky Empire. With the rise of Iron Star, what benefits have they not gained?Oh, and got some gold coins!
Gold coins are the equivalent.

Now the problem on Wanlun Continent is that the richest people have no shortage of gold coins, they can’t support the expansion of shipbuilding, steel, and electricity consumption, and the vast majority of people who want to consume, they don’t have gold coins, their own labor is idle, and they can’t stimulate industry develop.

Since commercial speculation is not supervised, the price of gold coins corresponding to actual goods can fluctuate up to ten times in different economic cycles!
For example, when a country loses a war, the gold coin will suddenly appreciate in value, and the capital speculators holding gold coins will reap wildly from the defeated country.

The Anglo-born nobles who were born thousands of years ago by those pirates who have been laundered, but still have not lost their "family education", have always chosen Sky as a defeated country with their eyes shining, trying to force Sky to open the country and destroy everything in their family. Put it on the "street" at the door and sell it at a low price.

Everything here, including "minerals", "farmland", "port cities that absorb cheap labor", "freedom to adjust customs tariffs", and "right to issue currency".

At this time, Anglo smashed several times the gold coins back to Iron Star, devouring the Sky Empire.After destroying a country's economic immunity, the profits obtained by selling high and buying low are far greater than tens of times and hundreds of times the compensation.

For the old capitalist powers, the biggest problem is not that you "lose" it, but that you take the initiative to sell it at a low price when you are short of a penny after the defeated country.

For example, after the Sino-Japanese War, the [-] million taels paid by the Qing Dynasty was just drizzle, and the terrible thing was that all the [-] million taels had to be paid in pounds (in the small days, they borrowed pounds to fight the war), which directly led to a sharp depreciation of silver against the pound. Since the Ming Dynasty, In the East, which absorbs silver from all over the world, its wealth has shrunk directly, and it has to exchange more than ten times the silver for British paper pounds.No amount of silver can withstand printing. This is the systematic plundering of the ancient East by modern finance.

Now that Iron Star has completed the control of the Kingdom of Sky, it has built a financial system that has been slandered by the Anglos as "closed", "conservative" and "lack of flexibility and innovation".

Iron Star now maintains the core capital of a country, the factories are running at full capacity, and agriculture is steadily accumulating capital with sufficient technical funds.Anglo hungry wolves from outside came here with gold coins, they could only buy industrial "consumer goods" and could not grab core production resources.Nongxiang is also wise at this time: things that can continue to make money are heirlooms and cannot be sold.

Enma: The gold coins lost in the imperial reparations in the past few years can be considered as aiding poor countries.When the time comes after the economic crisis, how much you eat today will be vomited out tomorrow.

...the most important thing for a country's capital is internal stability...

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

Even if there are only a few hundred tons of symbolic gold in the treasury, it is still well-capitalized.

But if military armaments, food, and core industrial components are all dependent on the outside world, then you have accumulated a huge amount of precious metals, and you are still short of capital (not to mention the fact that in ancient times, those international companies were still using green paper. .)
If you have strong capital, you can engage in technology. Capital is not necessarily gold. As long as you are productive enough and others need you, your paper money (credibility commitment) is also capital.

…In the 27th century, Wei Keng’s history elective included capital in the ancient industrial age…

Iron Star has now completed the effective capital integration after going through the great revolution, which is across the ages.

What is "capital"? "Capital" is the proof that people within the sphere of influence are willing to pay labor.

Iron Star is in the urban area in the east near the Kingdom of Osima. 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 living expenses and future social status guarantees.

Converted into gold coins, this is the "sky-high capital" that the two first-class powers, Anglo and Vail, will frown on, even though they hold more than 20 times as many gold coins as Iron Star.However, during this period, Iron Star has not yet connected with the international community, and external capital cannot introduce technical personnel to "immigrate" on a large scale to live in unstable external areas.

…In Iron Star’s propaganda, Angloland is not a paradise “flowing with milk and honey”, but all skilled personnel will not immigrate…

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

Science and technology is not the accumulation of data, but the industrial group to make it run systematically.

When the Iron Star land cruiser entered the imperial capital, the technical guards leading the team were pushing away the treasury of the Sky Empire.

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

April 4th.A technician "Su Ni" (one of Wei Keng's offshoots) in the scientific research team made a discovery

Su Ni twisted a crystal stone on the experimental platform. This stone has lost the blessing of divine grace. It is said that it is already an ordinary stone. crystals.

Wei Keng rubbed his eyes and sighed. He knew the basic situation of this kind of spar in the "personal system".It is the same as the "spiritual power crystallization" technique of the ancient arcanists.

It's just that the ancient arcanists were not good at culture and education, and could only use their personal "cognitive" mental power to lock the rules of fluctuations around them.However, only by popularizing science can a certain fixed reflection be formed in the etheric world, and the physical constants of condensed matter can be very stable, and superconducting and semiconducting materials with excellent properties can be mass-produced.

Of course, once awareness is popularized, even if there are only a few tens of thousands of people in the technology circle, the "ideal, stable and materialistic" effect will make this plane of technology very easy to do.

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

…In the era of optical brains, the initial material has been found,…

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

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

Information recording and transmission in the main world: In ancient times, starting from knotting notes, then paper, and then disk, the scale of information recording is getting larger and larger.And information transmission has also been transmitted from word of mouth in the early days, letters, wireless telegraphs, submarine optical fibers, and now to plane nodes.The velocity of information is also increasing.

In multidimensional planes, quantum effects permeate various concepts, and there are many possibilities for the development of concepts, so technology is also uncertain.But as long as a certain technology is used more and more and forms a broad concept law, other technological routes will be blocked.

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

Now there are at least three kinds of iron stars, and the development of the computer technology system in the future is possible.

The first is electronics, oh, it depends on whether the semiconductor components can be stable or not. If diodes start to develop and gradually become accepted by people, forming the concept of the world, then integrated circuits of one micron can be integrated.In the future, it will be [-] nanometers, [-] nanometers, and [-] nanometers, and the technology will continue to approach the physical limit.

The second is the optical brain system. The photoelectric effect is still very impressive at present, and the optical information can be processed through the crystal.At present, this technology is seriously disturbed by quantum tunneling. When the light is solidified, it will be extremely easy to be controlled by spiritual power, so that this thing can directly complete the soul condensation. Some dark mages in the arcane era rely on this kind of knowledge to prepare "soul gems" ".

As for the third type, it is a 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.

Wei Keng Group understands the development of "future high-speed computer" under the main rule of "Steam God", so a large number of small holes are drilled on a ceramic component, and each hole can pass steam.The "three-phase state" (solid-liquid-gas) properties of water will also undergo flexible property transformation in the air cavity of each component.The steam output in this way has a calculation effect at different flow rates.

Of course, in the more advanced future interstellar era, the graphite semi-permeable membrane is replaced with "helium" as the fluid medium, and the calculation speed can reach the speed of a computer chip.

Wei Keng: The initial stage of the steam computer is to rely on the calculation of mechanical gears such as the difference engine. In the future, the flow rate can be faster and the calculation can be performed by detonation.

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

A certain inventor, Wei Keng, has manufactured dozens of such steam computers, which have been successfully used in textile enterprises to calculate the texture of yarn.

What Su Ni didn't know was that this invention of his own now attracted the attention of the God of Steam very much.

In the past, all the believers used the difference engine to calculate, but Wei Keng's is pure steam.
The airflow limit is also a speed of several thousand meters per second, slower than the current, but much faster than the difference engine.

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

What's more, the airflow is also conductive, which can be used as a basis to complete power calculations.

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

Of course, it is a pity now that Wei Keng's split mortals are not qualified to be favored by the god of steam (qualified to be used as pawns),-the sharp blade carried by Wei Keng itself is even repelled by higher industrial gods, let alone God of steam.

Wei Keng is a mortal, but he is not an ordinary "mortal".
Ordinary people are "non-specific", and this "non-specific" can be all kinds of depravity in low-level tastes.But for Wei Keng, a mortal with a powerful soul, his "interest" is to use various methods to change the world and let it develop in the long run.

Wei Keng will not stand with the God of Steam, but as long as Wei Keng's willpower is slightly biased in this direction, God of Steam can make great gains in this world.

So when "Su Ni" was invented, the God of Steam 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 differences between the gods and the gods. Calculate each other.

...all "casual" favoritism, in the eyes of other stakeholders, is very "deliberate"...

The angle of view 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 at the same time, it can avoid the decaying advantages of the old imperial capital.

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

Faced with people's questions, Wei Keng only answered Willy: "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 Yes, it’s all going backwards in history.”

Willie: "Enma, although the situation has just been balanced, what if you leave now?"

Wei Ken: "I don't want what happened to Ludis to happen to you, to Beth and An Jiexin! When I first met him, he was full of confidence, and you were also confident. Even though a guy like Ludis, Confidence is easy to make mistakes, but it is better than the "old-fashioned" conservative bureaucracy. Willie, we are comrades. We are in control of the state's public affairs. We should allow "people who are led by us to make mistakes." The key point to grasp is to occupy the state's public affairs On the existence of "knowing the mistakes and not correcting them".

Willie looked at Wei Keng and took a deep breath: "Yes, it's comrade. But I..."

En Ma: "But you can't say it, those old-fashioned parties now? - If you can't say it, you have to fight. Don't you expect me to be able to suppress it alone, and I can't be suppressed. In the end, you don't speak, and I am talked about by a group of people Saying that, he became the new emperor, this is a joke."
