Dimensional Alliance

Because in the APA world, the world of shelter is actually a game that was very well-known more than ten years ago, and in that game, the biggest selling point is that when the character manipulated by the player kills the enemy, there is a certain The probability of dropping equipment with special entries caused APA to think at the beginning that this was not the effect of the "entries" in the game attached to such equipment by the special energy dissipated when the demon died.

As for why APA finally called this phenomenon "Machine Soul" instead of some kind of strange enchantment, APA discovered after more in-depth research that the boosting effect brought by the Machine Soul occurs when the user can move along the machine. Under the premise of the "character" of the machine soul, if these equipment are used completely against the principle of the machine soul, then under the influence of the machine soul, these weapons and equipment will malfunction frequently, or they will not be able to be used at all. Like your own soul.

In order to prove his rhetoric, APA also showed a case to the human coalition forces. During the time when APA was busy recovering the monastery and bombarding Andariel, a Rogge team that was fully equipped with assault rifles and submachine guns was ambushed by the fallen. The whole army was destroyed.

And after this group of fallen people seized the firearms of the Rogge team and became familiar with how to use these equipments, they set up an ambush against the human troops at another location, trying to take advantage of the newly exchanged firearms. Equip a sneak attack to eliminate another human team.

But when another APA team entered their range, three rifles and a submachine gun suddenly fired one after another, allowing APA to notice the ambush ahead in advance.

Later, when the Fallen and the APA leaned on the bunker to shoot each other, the equipment seized by the Fallen began to jam frequently again. On average, every one or two shots were fired, and a troubleshooting was required. Two of the assault rifles even exploded directly during the firing process. Use The Fallen with these weapons didn't kill anyone, but was covered in shrapnel.

And when APA wiped out this group of fallen people, regained these weapons, and inspected these weapons, the failure rate of these firearms returned to normal levels again. Even the two rifles that were blown up before, After being replaced by APA to repair the rifling and firing pin, there was not another failure.

According to the research summary of APA, the machine souls born from these equipment and equipment are also different according to the user and the usual use status. For example, the machine souls born under the strong will to protect humans can have a better performance effect, and the machine soul born after the user kills the demon will have stronger lethality against alien creatures.

From APA's existing statistical data, the more complex the structure and the more parts the equipment uses, the easier it is to produce machine spirits during use. The probability of a machine soul is 0.00039%, while the probability of an APA main battle tank spawning a machine soul every hour is 0.0014%.

Although no detailed research has been conducted, based on the probability model established by APA, the probability of the human coalition airspace warship producing machine souls per hour should be between 0.3% and 0.5%. Although it does not seem like much, considering the recent The frequency of space and space fleets participating in battles, APA believes that one or more space battleships may have appeared machine souls. As for the performance of warships with machine souls, it is beyond the ability of APA to guess.

Of course, the above probabilities are only the probability of machine spirits appearing during normal use of weapons and equipment. When users are in a state of severe emotional fluctuations, they are more likely to resonate with weapons and equipment.

For vehicles with multiple crew members, APA believes that it is easier for the machine soul to appear when all the crew members have the same goals and beliefs. As for how strong the belief must be to make the machine soul appear, and whether only positive ideas can APA is still under study on birth machine soul and other aspects.

The above-mentioned second problem is one of the main research directions of APA at present. Although the current equipment collected by APA is all machine souls that can only exert their maximum effectiveness when they are in an active state, but in case the machine souls Appearance is actually random, and no one can guarantee that there will be cowardly, flat, bullying, and outspoken machine spirits that will weaken and restrict equipment in the future.

Not to mention that these negative machine spirits may reduce the performance of the equipment, APA is very worried that in a key battle, a certain important equipment will suddenly start to "strike..." due to the birth of negative machine spirits, and then there may be more than 01 losses: It's 30 o'clock.

Moreover, even if there are no negative effects in key battles, guns and even tanks can be dismantled and scrapped after the appearance of machine spirits with negative characteristics, but if it is expensive precision instruments or large equipment—such as the space battleships of the human coalition forces— —If there is a negative machine soul, it is a very tangled matter whether to continue to use these instruments or equipment.

Although this explanation of APA sounds like nonsense, considering that in various literary works of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, there is no shortage of certain weapons that have been used for a long time to produce spirituality, and certain weapons that kill more people have their own evil spirits. and other descriptions, and the world of Sanctuary is still a complete western fantasy world, so the weapon spawner spirits used in this world—or the machine souls that APA calls them—seems not so unacceptable.

What's more, the human coalition may have experienced a similar phenomenon a long time ago.

After reading the information provided by the APA, the human coalition quickly remembered that when they stumbled to form a space fleet, they had launched a war against the gods of the Foundation world together with the United... United States naval fleet of the Foundation world , In this war, the white gods who were sealed in space once cast their sights on the United Human Fleet.

In the face of the active meme pollution of the gods, all the defenses of the Foundation—whether it is the cognitive filter or the information shielding device—are instantly penetrated by the gods. Most of the crew members were deformed and turned into white-haired monsters, but there were still a small number of ships that persisted for a few seconds under the gaze of the gods before they began to grow white fluff, winning a glimmer of life for the crew.

After completing the task of expelling the gods, the human coalition forces also wondered why ships of the same model but with different names could persist in the pollution of the gods for different periods of time, and the human coalition forces and the foundation also conducted research on this phenomenon at first , but due to the lack of reference samples, and even though the gods as the source of pollution have been expelled, these ships polluted by gods themselves have the ability to cause meme pollution to the surrounding ordinary people.

In order to prevent the gods from resurrecting through these meme-contaminated ships, the human coalition forces have not yet drawn any valuable conclusions, and these polluted ships have been pulled to Mars for centralized destruction, and this matter has become An unsolved mystery in the history of the human coalition.

However, if combined with the information provided by the APA, perhaps when the United...United States naval fleet in the foundation world took the initiative to charge towards death, some of the ships had already awakened machine souls in the high will of the crew, and when the gods Casting their sights to the sky, these newly born machine souls became the last line of defense for the human fleet against meme pollution, winning a few crucial seconds for the crew and creating a glimmer of life for them.

At least from this point of view, weapons and equipment with machine souls are very useful for Foundation agents who may face meme contamination every time they go on duty. Even in some high-risk environments, machine souls may not last long, but Sometimes, as long as it can be contaminated by one second late, the agents who carry out the anomaly containment may spread key information about the containment and save more lives.

But other than that, the human coalition is very hesitant to invest more resources in this research.

Volume 1041 Conquering Hell: Chapter 1007 Chapter [-] Machine Soul and Shelter

1007

After synthesizing the above information about the machine soul, the human coalition forces don't know how to evaluate this kind of thing that sounds very metaphysical.

On the whole, the machine soul mentioned by APA is not as comprehensive as the human environment analysis AI. Although it seems that the machine soul seems to cover all aspects, it seems that its ability in all aspects is not very outstanding.

Although the machine soul has improved the stability and lethality of weapons or equipment, and can give them the opportunity to rely on a certain machine when it is impossible to win without affecting the original power of the weapon. Soul's 'critical strike' to come back, but compared to trying to study something with an unknown probability of generation and effectiveness, the human coalition forces are more willing to invest the same energy and funds in the research of the weapon itself.

Even if the performance can only be improved a little at a time, if necessary, the human coalition can use its production capacity advantages to quickly spread out. Not only the cost is lower, but the quality of the equipment produced is also more controllable.

The research progress of APA also made the human coalition not very optimistic about this project.

Currently, APA is conducting research on how to make machines more stable to generate machine souls and how to make machines generate machine souls needed by humans. He said that during APA's exploration in the past few months, the questions about machine spirits not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

So far, the APA still hasn't figured out whether machine souls can be transferred and whether there may be multiple machine souls in a combination of equipment at the same time, which are very important issues in the eyes of the human coalition.

It is conceivable that the human alliance will explore the new world with the frequency of opening the portal at least once a year for a long time in the future—at least until it finds a way out for the human revolution world.

Even if one of the two worlds can find a world that is helpful to the human coalition, relying on this portal system, the weapon vehicles and production equipment of the human coalition will be replaced and iterated at an ever-changing speed. The equipment that was changed only a month ago suddenly became an outdated product after the human coalition forces broke through a certain technology or obtained a certain technology from the new world.

Just like the space warships of the human coalition forces, the latest modified model of the Truth-class mothership lying in the laboratory or on the blueprint has been ranked at the 'K7' level, and the latest experimental Truth-class mothership under construction has already carried Two sets of energy cores and two sets of shield systems, if the practical magic core and a set of "energy penetration shield" driven by the magic core can be used on the truth-K7-class mothership. If the above argument is passed, then all types of warships of the human coalition forces may undergo a major refit.

In this case, if a machine soul appears on a piece of equipment, the machine soul can only be bound to this piece of equipment, so the value of the machine soul to the human coalition is very low, even in the short term , equipment with machine souls may indeed have a slight advantage in performance, but wait a year or two, or a little shorter, five or six months, after the human coalition forces have iterated their own equipment, these equipment with machine souls can only Handing it over to the second-line troops, I am completely sorry for the human coalition's investment in them.

In addition, although APA found signs of the birth of machine souls on an old warship, including this warship, all the equipment and equipment that have appeared machine souls have not applied too many independent systems.

However, many systems of space warships of the human coalition are interconnected and independent at the same time. When these warships generate machine souls, will only one machine soul appear in the entire warship, which can coordinate all systems, or these Each system must have its own machine soul?If there are independent machine souls, then in a battleship, will these machine souls do it by themselves because of fighting for dominance?

Before these issues are clarified, the human coalition forces are cautious about APA's use of machine souls, and APA's previous focus on machine souls is more or less a bit of a technology that has almost stagnated. Well, now that there are human coalition forces willing to support the situation, APA's demand for machine souls is actually no longer so urgent.

But the uncertain prospects in military and production do not mean that machine souls are really useless.

From the description of the APA, the birth and effective mechanism of the machine soul sounds a bit like the containment of the foundation world with the ability to distort reality. It can also bring some unscientific abilities to originally ordinary objects, and it is also difficult to explain with existing science.

Therefore, after the human coalition forces obtained more detailed information about the machine soul, they informed the foundation of the relevant information, and asked the foundation to participate in the investigation, evaluation and possible follow-up research.

After the Foundation joined the conference evaluation meeting, the human coalition quickly organized personnel to test the reality stability of some instruments or equipment suspected of having machine souls collected by the APA. The test results showed that the Hume index of these instruments and equipment Although it will be higher than the surrounding environment, it is comparable to a level one reality bender, and it is not high enough to distort reality.

However, unlike the anomalies or reality benders contained by the Foundation, although these equipment with machine souls have a higher Hume index, their existence does not seem to cause a decrease in the stability of the reality around them. On the contrary, if these equipment If placed in an area with a low Hume index, they can actually increase the stability of reality around them.

From this point of view, rather than saying that these equipment with machine souls are like containment objects, it is better to say that they are more like a kind of reality stability anchor with unknown reasons. , some battleships can last longer.

In addition, from the test data, the more complex the machine can achieve, the higher the degree of stability and reality, and the greater the scope of influence.

在标准的100休谟指数环境下，一只拥有机魂的步枪可以将自身周围半径三十到五十厘米范围内的休谟指数提高0.14~0.24，一辆拥有机魂的坦克则能将自身内部以及周围半径两到三米范围内的休谟指数提高4~7。

However, the human coalition forces spent great efforts to secretly send the old APA world warship to a standard environment for testing, and found that the display stability inside the warship and within 15 meters around the warship can reach 114~124, reaching the level of ordinary reality benders. The degree of autogenous Hume index.

Although the value of the increase does not seem to be much, the mathematical model used by the foundation to describe the Hume index itself is a logarithmic function. When the Hume index exceeds the normal environment, it will become very difficult to increase or decrease the Hume index. .

Similarly, in the face of anomalies with reality-distorting abilities, each increase in the Hume index means that the relevant personnel can last longer. If a D-class personnel with 100 Humes can face a malicious anomaly with 170 Persist for ten seconds, so as long as the foundation can increase the Hume index of the D-class personnel by 0.1, he can extend this time to 2 minutes. Although it may not be able to make an effective counterattack, it is still enough for him to make a counterattack to the foundation. Forewarned.

But the reason is this. The Foundation has few means to increase the limited stability. The Scranton Reality Anchor, which is currently the most effective and the easiest to make, also needs to be extracted from the dead parallel world. The cost is very high due to problems such as reality, and the Foundation generally only deploys this facility at abnormal containment or observation sites.

And when carrying out field missions such as containment and exorcism, unless the foundation has confirmed from the beginning that a certain anomaly will cause a large-scale reality distortion and the danger reaches "red" level or above, otherwise the special service team that goes to contain the anomaly will not Will carry Reality Anchors on every mission.

Although proportionally speaking, the abnormal probability of having the ability to distort reality is very small, and after the thought broadcasting towers that have been widely popularized in the Foundation world and the safety of the artificial nerve beams have been verified, when the phenomenon of reality distortion is discovered, the human coalition forces can also Mobilizing the computing power of the thinking network, temporarily granting the reality-distorting ability to a certain field personnel implanted with artificial nerve bundles, greatly increasing the flexibility and safety of the field personnel.

But reality-bending and meme-contaminated anomalies are still the biggest culprits in killing people each year.

Just like facing the pollution of the gods, when faced with anomalies with large-scale reality-distorting abilities, field personnel often have no time to report and apply for allocation of computing power, and they will be lost under the influence of the anomalous ability. According to the report provided by the foundation Last year, when containing anomalies, more than 400 field and D-class personnel died due to reality distortion.

Therefore, for the Foundation, it is very necessary to have a cheaper and easier to carry means to improve the stability of reality, even if there are really "depressed main battle tanks", Machine spirits such as "fishing assault rifles" and "lustful monitors" that may have a negative effect on the function of the item itself can also be of great help in containing anomalies as long as they can still play a role in reality stabilization .

Based on the fact that the larger the size and the more complex the internal mechanism, the higher the reality stabilization ability of the generated machine soul, the machine soul that can appear on a warship may be able to stabilize its internal reality on the basis of the cosmic environment. Another [-] to [-] percentage points, otherwise, when facing the pollution of the gods, it would not be possible for some warships to persist for a few more seconds when all the active defense methods of human beings were instantly penetrated.

Such a battleship is enough to complete most of the anomalous suppression and containment tasks, even if the machine souls that appear also have negative characteristics, they can also serve as a space prison for containing high-risk containment objects.

Therefore, triggered from the Foundation's own point of view, they strongly recommend that the human coalition increase investment in machine soul research. If the human coalition is short of funds due to wars and reconstruction plans during this period, the funds will be used even if they are independently funded. Research continues.

The strong attitude of the foundation has changed the view of the human coalition forces on machine souls to a certain extent, and in order to make their reasons more convincing, the foundation has also begun to dispatch more people to the world of sanctuary to collect information.

And as the research that the Foundation participated in gradually increased, they soon discovered that the shelter brought more surprises to the Foundation than this.

In the process of researching the machine soul, the foundation also tested the environment of the sanctuary world and the Hume index of the aborigines, and what surprised the foundation, and it can even be said to be confused, was that most areas of the sanctuary world The Hume index is only 30~35, and some areas—such as the Hume index of the Demon Fortress are even less than 30.

Such a low Hume index is often only possible to appear around Level [-] or other containments with extremely strong reality-distorting capabilities. In theory, this place should have become a chaotic land full of various twisted creatures and human dark fantasies That's right, it is impossible to develop any normal civilization on this soil.

Therefore, the foundation is very surprised that the reality of the shelter world is still exceptionally stable when the environmental Hume index is already as low as 30.

In addition to the appearance of unscientific products such as machine souls, not to mention that ordinary people cannot easily change reality with their own ideas. Discovered that in the world of Sanctuary, his reality-distorting ability cannot have any effect on reality other than himself.

It is [any influence].

Unlike ordinary people who will actively go to areas with a high Hume index, when reality benders are in an environment with a higher Hume index than themselves, they will feel as uncomfortable as if they were covered with thirty layers of quilts. When you want to distort reality, it is equivalent to reaching out a hand from such a thick quilt, so it will naturally become very difficult.

However, even in the European region of Edge of Tomorrow, where the Hume index is extremely high, only the scope of the reality bender's ability has been greatly suppressed, and the scope of influence on reality and the duration of the ability have been shortened at the same time. A level four reality bender At least he can maintain a certain degree of control over the space of about half a meter around him, rather than being completely unable to cause a little change.

And when these reality benders arrived at the Sanctuary World, the low Hume index environment of the Sanctuary World immediately made them feel as happy as a whale that had been stranded for a long time and finally returned to the sea.

But just can't use the ability.

If it weren't for the changes that are applied to themselves, and there are indeed many ordinary people living in this world, these high-level reality benders almost think that this is a new type of prison created by the Foundation for reality benders.

After combining the detailed setting information about the world of sanctuary in the APA world, the human coalition speculates that it is likely that the suppressing effect of the world stone is not only effective on the aborigines of the world of sanctuary.

Volume 1042 Conquering Hell: Chapter 1008 Chapter [-] Coveted

1008

According to the "background setting" provided by APA, the world of shelter was established in a hidden "miniature dimension" thousands of years ago to avoid the tracking of angels and demons, and after a series of events, the shelter was established An angel from , has modified the way the Worldstone works so that all supernatural powers within the world of Sanctuary are suppressed.

When the APA established a stable frontline base in the shelter, it also tried to launch a reconnaissance satellite, but just like the "background setting" of the world of the shelter, the world of the shelter is just a miniature dimension in the entire dark world, the rocket When it rises to more than 2 meters from the ground, it will suddenly be impacted and exploded, as if a transparent wall is covering the world of the shelter.

Similarly, the APA has also observed the astrology of the Sanctuary World in the past few months, but apart from the alternating rotation of the sun and the moon, the stars that the Sanctuary World can observe all seem to be some kind of "stars" used to deceive human beings. High-definition texture', hanging in the same position with the same brightness every day, is not a normal celestial body at all.

But the strange thing is that although the world of sanctuary is only a 'miniature dimension' in the setting, when APA readjusts the rocket launch height and completes the deployment of reconnaissance satellites in low earth orbit, it can still be confirmed that the world of sanctuary is still A normal planet, except that the world has two continents so that monsoons have less impact on the deep regions of the continents, and the climate is very different from that of the earth, in terms of the size of the planet, the coefficient of gravity, and the estimated mass of the planet based on this, it is similar to that of the Earth. Earth is not much different.

From this point of view, APA always believed that the so-called Sanctuary World was actually Lilith, Inarius and other angels and demons using the power of the World Stone to move a livable world far away from the battlefield. The planet is hidden.

As for why a planet with a complete ecology is called a "miniature dimension", APA thinks that it is because the angels and demons in this world setting are a group of non-standard races that can take out dead neutron star cores to forge weapons, yes For them, a "mere" planet may really only be described as "miniature".

But the discovery of the human coalition seems to have broken this inference.

According to some words and phrases in this world's "Settings", the human coalition can understand that the angels and demons of this world seem to believe that the World Stone is [the cornerstone of all time and space, which is connected to physical reality and vast and endless. The hub between unknown possibilities].

In fact, judging from how much the demons and angels attach importance to the World Stone, the role of the World Stone is not only to shield the angels and demons from prying eyes and to maintain the suppression of supernatural forces in the Sanctuary World. If the APA world finds out about If the setting of the shelter world is feasible enough, the description of the world stone in the setting may indicate that the world stone itself has the ability to stabilize and control space.

Combined with the fact that the Hume index detected by the human coalition forces in the sanctuary world is far lower than the Hume index level that a normal physical universe should have, the human coalition forces believe that the sanctuary world was originally in the real physical universe of the dark world. It's just a literal 'miniature' dimension, and the angels and demons who established the Sanctuary World used the power of the World Stone to forcefully support this miniature dimension while ensuring that it does not maintain too much connection with the physical universe. As big as a planet.

If reality is compared to sand, then what Lilith and Inarius and other angels and demons do is equivalent to spreading the sand on a beach to an entire continent, and the sand (reality) per unit area will naturally become very thin.

However, it is slightly different from other worlds. The existence of world stones reduces the reality of the shelter world while maintaining a relatively high display stability. If you want to compare it, if the reality of other worlds is sand, then The reality of the sheltered world is steel and concrete.

A ton of sand and a ton of solidified reinforced concrete have the same quality, but people can easily break the castle built by the former, but even if people are exhausted, it is impossible to demolish the statue poured by the latter with bare hands.

Therefore, when the foundation learned of the relevant information, it suggested to the human coalition forces almost three times a day, hoping that the human coalition forces would have the opportunity to conduct close-range research inside the World Stone Fortress, even if the human coalition forces clearly stated to the foundation that the asylum The world is at a sensitive point in time, and we are not allowed to get close to the Worldstone Fortress. The Foundation also hopes that the human coalition forces can get some samples of the Worldstone fragments—even if it is the one that is carrying Murphy. The world stone of Stowe's soul will also work.

If the appearance of machine souls can make the human coalition forces have more adequate means of coping with various abnormalities in the future, then as long as the human coalition forces can find out the principle of the World Stone's effect and the method of duplicating the World Stone, the foundation may be able to borrow This is an opportunity to solve once and for all the weak barrier between reality and fantasy in my own world.

Even if the scope of influence of the World Stone is limited, at least the foundation can guarantee the safety of the lives of residents on the earth to a greater extent.

Or to be more radical, the Foundation can use the World Stone to turn all residential activity areas into real safe areas, and at the same time, when the security capabilities are more complete, the armed forces are more sufficient, or some special experiments that are not on the earth at all In the base, keep the fantasy and physical worlds at a low barrier level so the Foundation can artificially create anomalies.

Relying on the high-level security conditions of these special bases, as long as there are no abnormalities such as gods or rules, the Foundation has a high degree of confidence in containing them smoothly. In this way, it can not only ensure the safety of civilians in the Foundation world, but also It can also allow the foundation to continue to study anomalies, and obtain technology or information that is helpful to the human coalition.

In addition, the human coalition's current inferences about the so-called fantasy world are entirely based on the Foundation's conjectures. If there is no problem with the description of "connecting physical reality with vast and endless unknown possibilities" in the background information of the World Stone, it is likely to be On behalf of the human coalition forces, they can use the World Stone to actively explore the fantasy world, so that the human coalition forces can see for themselves what the fantasy world is like, and whether there is a chance to send an expeditionary fleet to the fantasy world, and directly obtain the containment that is helpful to the human coalition forces things.

And the premise of all this is that the human coalition can obtain the research authority of the World Stone-and this is precisely the most difficult point.

Although in the past few days, the human coalition forces did not send too many troops to directly participate in the battle against the demons, whether it is the oppressive force caused by the space carrier or the powerful logistical supply capabilities brought by the stable portal of the human coalition forces, They all left a very deep impression on the united front of mankind.

But no matter what attitude these countries have when facing the demons, and no matter how they use the heroic battles of human united front fighters to fan the various countries in Sanctuary World, they cannot change the essence of them being feudal countries.

And the lord of any feudal country will instinctively reject the interference and changes of several forces by external forces, form a united front to solve the current demon crisis, and in order to deal with this crisis, some allow APA or human coalition forces to set up production lines or The simple factory is already the limit they can accept.

In fact, in addition to the few countries that APA "visited" according to the plot, as the news that the devil was defeated outside the Worldstone Fortress and the King of Destruction disappeared under the cooperation of humans spread all over the world, many countries or organizations also began to I started to think about quitting, and just two days before the official meeting between the human coalition and the APA, there were still ministers who approached the APA in private, hoping that the APA would allow both parties to withdraw from the human united front in a dignified manner.

After all, in order to prevent Barr from polluting the Worldstone Fortress, the APA did not set too high a threshold for joining and withdrawing from the human united front. In the eyes of the kings or lords of this part of the sanctuary world, since humans are already outside the Worldstone Fortress With a big victory, shouldn't this "front" also cease to exist?

Although this behavior of rushing out after winning has made many people incomprehensible, especially when the human coalition forces have shown almost unparalleled military strength and development potential in the oppressive environment of the World Stone, anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see that this Only by tying yourself to the chariot of the human coalition forces can you win the greatest benefit for your country, not to mention quitting voluntarily, even if the human coalition forces want to drive them away, they will definitely be shameless in the end Paste it.

However, the attitudes shown by various countries and organizations in Sanctuary World are completely different. The soldiers fighting the demons on the front line are still heroic, but as more and more demons or fallen people on the land are temporarily cleaned up, they want to leave the unity of mankind. The power of the front is also gradually increasing, especially those countries that have not directly become the battlefield in this war, and the hearts of the people are fluctuating.

Are you saying that these countries do not see the benefits of joining the united front of mankind?

Not at all.

Among other things, when the APA established standardized production lines for magic potions and enchanted equipment in some cities in these countries for the convenience of supplies, the production capacity of enchanted equipment in these countries was almost [-]-[-] months after they joined the human united front. Catching up with the total output in the past one or two years, most of the equipment has been distributed to the troops participating in the World Stone Defense War, but even if the remaining defective equipment is sold, it can make these The city's income increased by at least [-] to [-] percent.

In addition to the direct benefits brought about by the increase in productivity, these countries, especially Enstinger, which is close to the Arreat Plateau, have received huge supplies because of the large number of supply stations and medical stations set up by the United Front of Humans. In terms of throughput and personnel flow, apart from the economic benefits that the united front of mankind directly surrendered to Ernstinger, the consumption brought about by these personnel movements is already enough to make Ernstinger a lot of money.

But at the same time as the tax increase, for the lords of these forces, they can also see that the civilians under their own rule have shown signs of breaking away from their control after being organized by the human united front for production.

Just like the production of magic potions, in order to ensure sufficient supply of potions during the most intense battles, it is impossible for APA to rely on only a few magicians or alchemists to make potions, dismantle and classify each step of making potions, And handing over the less important parts to civilians is the only option for the APA.

However, for any force that wants to carry out mass production, it is necessary to ensure that the workers have the most recent order, and to let the workers know what they can do and what they cannot do, they must also ensure that they have received the necessary education .

The simplest example, if the workers are not clearly explained what bacteria and viruses are, then it is very difficult for workers to understand why the workbench needs to be kept clean before processing magic herbs.

Therefore, in order to ensure smooth production, APA naturally resorted to its own housekeeping skills. Various measures such as literacy rewards, evening schools, and mutual aid associations for workers took turns, and quickly trained a group of barely qualified assembly line workers.

Even out of respect for the strength of its allies, APA did not publicize its ideas and concepts with great fanfare this time as it did in Rogge New City. For the various lords of the world, it is also absolutely intolerable.

After all, 'literacy' itself is a very dangerous signal. An illiterate civilian can only obtain the information that the lord wants them to obtain, but once they have the ability to read, the lord wants to continue to restrict their access to information. It has become very difficult, which is not conducive to the long-term rule of one's own family.

Although continuing to maintain the identity of the human united front and joining the human coalition, both yourself and the civilians under your rule can live a safer and more comfortable life, but the limitations of feudal lords are doomed. Most kings Both the lord and the lord value the inheritance of their titles more than the extravagant life.

Therefore, rather than change—whether the change is good or bad—the vast majority of lords are more willing to maintain their existing traditions and lives. In their view, after the crisis caused by demons is resolved, everyone can What should I do at home.

And with the running of the blind eye and APA's pursuit of demons, almost all countries or organizations in this world have understood the importance of the World Stone to the world of Sanctuary. In their eyes, World Stone's attempt to conduct research will also become a very dangerous signal that may completely change the situation in the world of Sanctuary.

"Why, you cooperating with you outsiders to drive away the demon's coveting of the World Stone, do you want to do it yourself?"
