Chapter 1278: The Land of Trials Exposed

Although the trouble of zeroing out the map is not small, the benefits are obvious.

The biggest benefit, of course, is that it greatly strengthens the control of the imperial court over the place, and at the same time makes the territory no longer so empty, like a stone falling to the ground, and has a sense of steadiness.

Exchanges between provinces and between regions will also be enlivened.

In addition, after the map is reset to zero, it will also increase the promotion of ocean trade.

In the past, the maritime trade between Bactria and South America was difficult, and after the map is zeroed, the trade between the two sides will surely usher in a real golden age.

When it comes to Great Xia specifically, the benefits are also obvious.

First, although it weakened river transportation, it greatly facilitated the construction of railways and official roads, and made it possible to develop a railway network throughout the empire.

Otherwise, Ouyang Shuo really didn't have the confidence to build a large-scale railway.

Second, it has weakened the pressure on garrisons, especially the defense of the army in the border areas.

This round of disarmament in Great Xia is really timely rain.

Third, it is also what Gaia expected, so that Great Xia has a stronger impetus for external expansion.

This is what Ouyang Shuo can think of now.

What touched Ouyang Shuo the most was that after the map was reset to zero, he really had a sense of intimacy with the game world.

That's right, it's kind!

The tenfold expansion of the game world, although it is based on the earth as a template, can be as large as mountains and rivers, as small as ancient roads and castles, and there are always differences with the real world.

This is the illusion after exaggeration, like a balloon that has been blown up.

Although they were familiar, they were always reminded that this was an illusory world, not an earth that occasionally appeared in their dreams and would never return.

As soon as the map was zeroed out, the familiarity came to mind.

Yes, although it is impossible for them to return to Earth, they have recreated an Earth in the virtual world as the collective memory of their generation.

Every grass and tree here is nostalgic.

"Thank you, Gaia!"

At this moment, not only Ouyang Shuo, but most of the strangers let out such an exclamation.

[2] Opening up the achievements of the second industrial revolution.

Lifting the restrictions of the second industrial revolution technology tree, as long as there is corresponding research and development capabilities, the relevant products and technologies that burst out during this period can be developed around the world.

The second industrial revolution ushered in the "electric age".

After the steam engine, the generator came into being, and then the birth of electrical appliances such as electric lights, trams, movie projectors, telegraphs, etc., became a new energy source that supplemented and replaced the steam engine as the power.

Then there is the innovation and use of internal combustion engines, which gave birth to internal combustion vehicles, ocean-going ships, airplanes and other means of transportation, and promoted the development of the oil extraction industry and the production of the petrochemical industry.

Compared with the petty fights of the first industrial revolution, the second industrial revolution is a complete subversion of the old world, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "changing the day".

Historically, it was during this period that monopolies emerged, which in turn gave rise to capitalism, which began to challenge the old order in order to gain greater benefits.

This is what makes Ouyang Shuo the most vigilant.

The future Bactria Empire must not embark on the road of capitalism.

Fortunately, for Ouyang Shuo and the vast number of aliens, the second industrial revolution is nothing new, and even from the perspective of their time, this is just a "primitive society".

The rapid changes in modern society were unimaginable to people at that time.

In 2190 AD, the world not only entered the federal era, but also crossed the fourth artificial intelligence revolution, the fifth virtual reality revolution, and the sixth space exploration revolution.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Second Industrial Revolution was a "primitive society".

After two hundred years of exploration, the earth has long established a more effective management system, and Ouyang Shuo stands on the shoulders of giants and has the confidence to guide the way forward for Great Xia.

As the founding emperor, Ouyang Shuo has advantages that others can't match.

All in all, with the unlocking of the second industrial revolution technology tree, Daxia is about to usher in a more magnificent era, with both opportunities and challenges.

[3] Open the Mu Continent.

The Atlantic civilization, the Lemurian civilization, the Mu continent civilization, and the Gendaya civilization are known as the four most mysterious civilizations, and although they are invisible, they have been circulating various legends.

In the game world, Ouyang Shuo awakened the Atlantean civilization and had a deal with the Lemurian civilization, but he didn't know anything about the Mu Continent civilization and the Gendaya civilization.

Whether it was in the past life or in this life, there was not a trace of clues.

Legend has it that the continent stretched from the present-day Hawaiian Islands in the east to the Mariana Islands in the west, and Fiji, Tahiti and Easter Island in the south.

The continent is 8,000 kilometers long from east to west and 5,000 kilometers wide from north to south, which is equivalent to the total area of North and South America, with a total area of about 35 million square kilometers.

Unexpectedly, Gaia took the initiative to expose the Mu continent this time.

After reading Gaia's introduction to the Mu Continent, even if Ouyang Shuozhi was calm, he couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth: "I'll grin!" ”

It turned out that the so-called Mu Continent, from the very beginning, was set up by Gaia as a mysterious place of trial.

This time, the appearance of the Mu continent in the Pacific Ocean is just Gaia's lifting of the "stealth" of the Mu continent, exposing it to the world, and re-participating in the competition for global hegemony.

"It's really a big deal to see the excitement!" Ouyang Shuo couldn't help but complain.

Worldwide, in the country where Gaia was destroyed seven years ago, players are all reborn in the land of trials, that is, the Mu continent, starting from novices and starting the game journey again.

Mu Dalu was born, and the biggest headache was Ouyang Shuo.

Think of the countries that were slaughtered by Bactria before Gaia, Dongying, Goryeo, Southeast Asian countries, Morocco, Somalia, Ethiopia, and so on.

It can be said that more than eighty percent of the newborn countries in the Mu Continent are the "sworn enemies" of Great Xia.

After all, in the European continent, most of the rise of dynasties relied on mergers and acquisitions, rather than group annihilation, and very few were really sent to the Mu continent.

Including the Persian Empire and the Arab Empire, it is basically the same routine.

On the Mu Continent, in addition to the sworn enemies of Great Xia, the remaining main forces are estimated to be the enemies of the Indian Empire, and their pair of allies are really sympathetic.

Coincidentally, the Mu continent happened to be in the Pacific Ocean between Bactria and the Indian Empire.

Ouyang Shuo unconsciously held his forehead with his hand, shook his head and said, "It's really not a good life!" ”

Although Gaia said that the environment in the Land of Trials is even harsher than the wilderness, and the outcast player will have a harder growth rate than the wilderness, and they will be forced to reincarnate, so there will be a certain gap in strength compared to the main world.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo still didn't dare to take it lightly.

First, Ouyang Shuo was not sure if Gaia had put the black technology of the Mu Continent into it for the exiles to explore while setting the Mu Continent as a place of trial.

If it is, it's a big problem.

On a global scale, no one knows better than Ouyang Shuo how rebellious black technology is.

Second, perhaps it is precisely because of the cruel environment of the land of trials that while eliminating a group of people, it will actually achieve a group of strong people.

It is conceivable how strong the survivors in the harsh environment will be.

Third, Ouyang Shuo had no way of knowing whether the countries of the Mu Continent were in a state of fighting for themselves, or whether they had merged into a whole and were in the same boat.

If it was the former, Ouyang Shuo had nothing to worry about, if Great Xia could destroy them once, he would be able to slaughter them a second time. But if it was the latter, it would be enough to arouse Ouyang Shuo's vigilance.

When put together, the organization will be a super-giant.

Now that the Mu Continent has just been born, everything is still unknown, and Ouyang Shuo can't do much, just instruct the Nanyang Theater to immediately enter a state of combat readiness.

Southern Xinjiang is not only the closest to the Mu Continent, but also the nest of Southeast Asian countries, if you want to attack the outside, it is impossible for the Mu Continent forces not to think about the southern Xinjiang.

Ouyang Shuo had previously planned to weaken the Nanyang Theater, but now it seems that it can only be shelved.
