Chapter 1506: Domination
This day, eventually, passed, like countless ordinary days that preceded it.
It's just that this day is a little different after all.
On this day, the Castle of Light ushered in unprecedented success, and the Atlanta City Auditorium, after the interrupted medal awarding ceremony, was followed by several large meetings to discuss many matters.
The seeds are planted and waiting to germinate.
After that, the days began to go on like a schedule.
Two weeks later, in the laboratory, Richard took a glass tube engraved with magic patterns solemnly handed over by the old man of the lich, which contained a thick golden mist, which was a part of the memory extracted from the body of the Foehn Wind, the head of the Truth Society, after cracking the "True God Power Guardian", which contained the method of how to contact the kingdom of heaven.
After taking the glass tube containing the memory, Richard turned to leave.
After about three days, a meeting was held within the Castle of Light to make adjustments to how all the staff could work together to improve the furnace - all of them were divided into two groups, the first focusing on the miniaturization of the furnace and the second on the large-scale of the furnace.
The number of the second group is significantly larger than that of the first group.
Not long after that, outside of Atlanta, an inconspicuous 100-meter-high mountain called "Gray Head Mountain" suddenly welcomed many construction workers.
The construction crew fenced off an area within a mile radius, set up a restricted area, and then began a comprehensive transformation of the mountain.
The rails were laid at an unimaginable speed, and a large number of locomotives came and went, bringing out a wagon of stones and bringing in a wagon of iron ingots.
The entire alpine construction site runs 24 hours a day, day and night, but strangely almost no one knows exactly what they are busy with. Even managers who are responsible for supervising quality are only ordered to take care of their own part, and don't ask what they shouldn't. Otherwise, there will be a black rider who will appear behind him like a ghost, grab his shoulders like a chicken, and kindly invite him to the little black house to drink wheat tea—there is enough tea, and some can drink it for days on end.
Around the same time, other cities in the sarin system also began to expand under the instructions, greatly increasing the urban area, or directly establishing satellite cities.
In stark contrast are the cities that are hostile to the sarin.
Since the beginning of the Dark Age, these cities have insisted on not surrendering, declaring that Shalin is the sinner of the whole world and will fight Shalin to the end.
To be honest, the first half of the sentence is not wrong, Shalin is indeed a sinner in the whole world, and it was the Black Sun weapon launched by Shalin that led to the Dark Age.
It's just that the person who said this said the first half of the sentence correctly, but did not stick to the second half of the sentence.
Previously, because of the involvement of the Society of Truth, Shalin did not have much energy to deal with hostile cities, and was more inclined to develop itself defensively. After the forces of the Truth Society on the main continent were almost wiped out, Sha Lin was empty-handed, and without hesitation, he mobilized his forces and launched an attack on the hostile city.
And these cities are also reasonable, most of them have not yet been at war, and as soon as the black horsemen and black pressure like a tide appear outside the city, the white flag is decisively raised on the head of the city.
Of course, there are sensible ones, and there are rigid ones.
A few hostile city lords, completely ignoring Shalin's crushing forces, ordered his subordinates to prepare for a bloody battle to the end, even if Shalin captured the city, he would give Shalin a dead city and a city full of corpses, in short, he would never compromise.
When his henchmen heard this, they were greatly encouraged, and made a blood oath on the spot that they would obey the order and live and die with the city and the city lord.
Then one day later, in the early morning, the henchmen who had made a blood oath, holding a box containing the head of the beloved city lord, knelt on one knee in the open space in front of the city gate with all the soldiers of the city, waiting for the army of Shalin to come and receive it......
The hostile cities disappeared one by one, and were replaced by new cities in the sarin system.
Locomotive after locomotive continuously sent rations to the new city, and while supplying the people of the new city, selected capable people to plan and transform the new city and open up many mines nearby.
Iron ore, copper ore, silver ore, gold ore, galena, sphalerite, asbestos ore, ...... Under the deliberate guidance of the sarin system, many mineral deposits throughout the continent have been exploited.
"Boom, boom!"
With a bang, the rails were laid, the mines were built, and the ore was excavated, loaded into locomotive cars, and transported to the refinery.
After that, the refined metal is transported out and transported to all the places where it is needed, and one of the most important places is the "Gray Head Mountain", which is still under construction and most people still don't know what to do.
Busy, busy, busy......
After that, everyone seemed to be busy, and they all had their own responsibilities to put their energy into doing.
Each person has their own role, under the control of an invisible hand, working towards a goal that they are not aware of.
The vast majority of people have no complaints about this, after all, this is the Dark Era, and it is a luxury to be able to eat well, and now they can not only eat well but also eat well, and even eat better than before the Dark Era, what can be dissatisfied?
Not to mention, in addition to food, they can also enjoy many services beyond imagination in the cities of the sarin system. For example, if you touch a wall, the whole house will light up, if you touch a machine, canned food can roll out, and if you touch a water pipe, warm water will flow out.
However, there are the vast majority of people, and there are very few people.
The vast majority of people are perfectly integrated into the life of the sarin system, and a very small number of people are hidden in it, but while secretly resisting and destroying, they carry out some actions with other purposes.
Shalin unceremoniously punched and punished severely.
For example, the person who infiltrated the city archives and tried to steal classified documents was knocked down by the powerful lightning shot by the magic gun as soon as he entered the door, and then dragged to the prison like a dead dog.
For example, a few people secretly got a pack of explosives and tried to blow up the building to create panic, and as soon as they went out, they were pressed down by several black riders. A person who resisted the most fiercely was unceremoniously punched in the head by the black knight, and with a "click", his head was shattered, and his neck was bent at an exaggerated ninety degrees.
Another example is a small group that secretly propagates that the rule of sarin will not last long, and soon there will be a "sacrifice" sent by the true god to destroy everything and restart the world. Less than four days after the small group was formed, the city security team and the black cavalry came to the door and asked the members of the small group to obediently assist in the investigation.
The small group was completely uncooperative, quickly closing the doors and windows, huddled in the house and tried to fight to the end, shouting that Sarin would die. The captain of the city security team was immediately angry after seeing it, and considering that if it dragged on, he might have to delay lunch, so he decisively asked his subordinates to bombard the house with multiple "second-type steel fists". Then the black riders burst in, and threw out and carried away the people alive and dead.
After all the excitement, the city returned to calm, and a very small number of people became fewer, and the vast majority of people went about their normal and busy lives unaffected.
