Chapter Ninety-Four: People Do Not Give Up on Themselves
The merit is in the contemporary, and the benefit is in the future.
Xu Changqing thought that what he did in Cloud City was this type of thing. It just needs to be bracketed to indicate that it remains to be seen.
After all, it's just from the perspective of the operation of the magic weapon.
The biggest difference between a ritual device and a machine is that under the premise of environmental support, the longer the normal operation, the better the performance.
But throughout the history of the human world, there are many examples of good beginnings and bad results in the end.
Whether it is good or bad to build Cloud City into a super-large magic weapon is such an unconventional and eye-catching thing, from the perspective of a hundred thousand years, it is really hard to say.
But for now, it is indeed due to the people.
People did see the benefits, and Xu Changqing also clearly felt the merit.
This is a humane compliment from the power world, not the favor of the god of the new creation, although the latter is more rewarding, and as a fair example, he should also accept it, and not play some high-spirited and bright things, so that it is difficult for others to do it, and it is unprofitable to do such things.
But in fact, he still carried out a dark operation, and in turn lent money to Shinshen to facilitate its operation.
The church was created, and every time one more miracle was shown, it could strengthen people's faith one more time, but when they needed firewood, so he, the god father, could be regarded as a helper.
With the operation of the Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Array, the environment in the lower area has been continuously improved, and even aroused the envy of the people living in the central area.
However, when the relocation order was actually received, there were still complaints.
Mainly because since the Red Wolves will be in power, a series of big moves are too intensive.
Moreover, relocation inevitably abandons some furniture and buys a batch of supplies, which is an expense that not everyone is willing to bear.
In the words of some people, with a bit of jealousy and ill intentions, "Those in power firmly believe that power is not needed, and it is invalid when it expires." And it involves redirection promotion, which is very shameless. ”
Despite this, the Red Wolves have not softened in any way, and their execution is resolute and cold.
In this way, ninety percent of the city's population lived in Cage Street.
This time, the space of Cage Street was really used, and the only thing that made people feel uncomfortable was that it was only six meters high.
Six meters doesn't seem to be low, but when the area is large, it seems depressing.
What makes people feel psychologically balanced is that the cloud area, where there are no residents, and all the top-level areas will be planting areas.
Secondly, there will not be many people living in the central area in the future, and it will become an industrial area, and the overall planning is currently underway.
An important reason for relocating the population down the hierarchy is that the Red Wolf Society intends to stop operating the Magic Energy Generator Unit.
In simple terms, the magic crystal replaces the nuclear raw materials, and the spiritual energy is an important catalyst. The two are combined to generate heat and generate electricity.
So the edifice of this world, the city, has the external characteristics of heavy industrial punk, electricity, waste heat and steam, are the main driving forces.
Due to the high-end materials science technology, room temperature superconductivity and temperature insulation materials are very sharp, so people can fully use electricity, heat and gas in all aspects of life and work.
However, civilization is going downhill, many advanced equipment is aging and obsolving, and the same level of substitute products cannot be made, only repaired.
The most typical representative is precisely the energy equipment that is called 'magic energy' by the people of this world.
Skylight Energy, a company in Sky City, has always played the role of tinker.
On the one hand, the equipment is old, and various problems emerge one after another, which urgently need to be replaced or overhauled.
On the other side is a huge demand, which does not dare to stop at all, it is the lifeblood of the entire city, once it is stopped, the loss is not ordinarily large, including four people.
But now, the negative impact of the outage has been greatly alleviated, because it is supported by the Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Array.
With the completion of the repair of the city, the base of Cloud City became a giant fortress with a total length of 20 kilometers and a height of 400 meters.
This fortress is located at the core of the Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Array, serving as an array eye weapon.
On the contrary, the Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Array is also refining it.
What people don't know is that this pedestal alone will take a hundred years to complete the sacrifice.
From this point of view, Xu Changqing's placement of people in the area dominated by Cage Street is really the conscience of the industry. After all, within a hundred years, only this area can be protected by the Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Array.
As a super magic weapon, there are a large number of etched runes inside and outside the thick walls of the castle.
After its completion, the Humane Church held a grand consecration ceremony, and since then, in the dents of the etched runes, there is always a glowing energy, mysterious, magnificent, magnificent, especially at night, which can be seen more than ten kilometers away.
Before the magic energy generator set was completely shut down, under the guidance of Xu Changqing, Cloud City also produced another general-purpose semi-magic weapon-Sky Mirror.
The production of this half-magic vessel is not difficult, it is nothing more than the mercury part of the mirror to add some materials, and the other need to draw the pattern, the texture is fixed, just paint the cat and the tiger, with a special gold lacquer to draw it, from the front, there is a mysterious pattern.
The focus is on consecration.
In the past, only Xu Changqing could preside over the consecration ceremony.
Nowadays, the priests trained by the Humane Church can also preside over the consecration ceremony with the power of the gods.
The sky mirror can reflect the sky scenery during the day, and the sunlight released is real.
This makes perfect sense for the interior of a near-sealed floor that needs to be lit 24 hours a day.
In the words of the people of Sky City: it allows us to live in the sun again.
The reason why the sky mirror is said to be a semi-magic instrument is because it is incomplete in itself.
A real sky mirror can absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and reflect the sky. However, the requirements for materials and manufacturing processes are much higher, and there are also requirements for the environment, and the vitality of heaven and earth is insufficient, so it cannot run for a long time.
But this half-magic weapon, associated with the Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Array, has no such shortcomings, and the price is that it cannot be used independently, and can only be used as a supporting component, unless it can be upgraded to a magic weapon.
And if this kind of semi-magic weapon wants to achieve a magic weapon, don't even think about it for thousands of years.
After the Sky Mirror was in place, the Red Wolf Society announced the situation of the magic energy generator set, and three days later, it was completely suspended and a ten-day overhaul began.
This big move once again aroused people's dissatisfaction, and some people even took the opportunity to make trouble, but the matter did not make a big fuss, but let the Red Wolf Club plan and pull out a lot of spies and two or five boys.
Speaking of spies and Erwuzai, we have to mention the relationship between the three major city-states in this region.
In fact, this area, known as Yunzhou, originally had four major city-states.
According to the overall strength, they are Tianjing, Haotian, Yunxiao, and Liuyun.
The establishment of Tianjing City benefited from the original Pingyang City.
The pattern of Yunzhou is equivalent to the province of the Celestial Empire of the Origin World. Although Binh Duong is not the capital city of the province, its economic strength is the first in the province.
It is also one of the country's leading heavy industrial cities, with top-level industrial parks, and is located in an important east-west transportation artery. There are three horizontal and three vertical in the country, and it is located in the center of the northernmost horizontal one.
Such a city was naturally the primary target of the enemy during the world war.
Tianjing City was originally a new district of Pingyang City, but the reason for the destruction was the collapse of the magic energy generator set, and the city could not function, and now the buildings are empty, and there are less than 5,000 people living in the top floor area.
The three cities of Haotian, Yunxiao, and Liuyun have divided most of the technology, materials and population of Tianjing City, and they can be regarded as having a friendship of sitting on the ground and sharing the spoils together.
There is indeed a discord between the three cities, territory, population, business...... Entanglements of interests are everywhere, but the three-legged structure is actually very stable, and after years of struggle, the balance is gradually formed.
In terms of companies, except for energy, construction and medicine, other companies have no duplicates, and they can be said to have their own tastes. Even the leaders behind the company have formed a relatively unified internal and external strategy through in-laws and other means.
However, all this collapsed with the sudden rise of the Red Wolf Society.
The Clouds City Council was defeated too quickly, and a few hours ago it was a pest extermination battle that was still overwhelmed by the army, but it was completely overthrown in a blink of an eye, and the next day it was put on trial, and he was beheaded.
This swift and ferocious action frightened the rulers of Haotian and Liuyun.
In the first three months, instead of clamoring for revenge, they played martial law and bombed all the residents of Cloud City who had fled to prevent infiltration, and then they were joined by the inside and outside.
After that, although they have not analyzed the method of playing the corner that is the abyss, what kind of principle it is, and how to break it, but the red wolf will take the resources obtained from the house to toss vigorously, but they see it.
They realized that, at least for a while, the city would be dominated by internal affairs, rather than by military force, waging a war of conquest or plunder against the other two cities in the name of liberation or whatever.
So they reacted with some normal things that didn't cost anything:
Spy.
Ever since the Great Yin and Yang Five Elements Array began to operate, Sky City began to attract outsiders to defect. These people may not be eager for the light, or how much they know and agree with the new governing philosophy of the Red Wolf Society, but they are aiming for a good rumor, or they have the mentality of taking advantage.
The Humane Church is a start-up that requires stage performance and display, so there are many preferential activities, such as the treatment of melanosis, and even the aberration can be treated to a certain extent.
It is not easy to cure such a disease, the evil enters the body, Xu Changqing does have a way to deal with it, but chronic diseases are subtle and profound, unless it is a powerful operation that does not hesitate to work, it is impossible to cure the disease, and the Xuanmen technique has to be reasonable, and it is much weaker than the supernatural disease.
But even so, it still gives hope to many people who are already desperate.
Hope may not be possible, but at least it can make people positive.
This kind of positivity includes rubbing medicine, a needle injection, the lesion is greatly reduced, and then go to the designated construction site to sweat like rain, anyway, you need to sweat to excrete the bad ingredients of the drug, and in this world, the little coolie of ordinary people is not expensive.
As a result, many people started with this, slowly understood the policies of the Red Wolf Society, and joined Cloud City.
This is in stark contrast to those who fled from Cloud City in the first place.
There will always be different ideas, and there will always be a way to go to the dark, insisting on one's own opinions, and being unconvincing.
Some people are not used to a series of practices of the Red Wolf Society.
Xu Changqing didn't have time to send people to do the work of these people, and to go deeper, he didn't really care about the life and death of a small group of people in this world, and it was his wish to grasp the big and let go of the small, put a lot of ideas in his head into practice, and send them to orbit.
With such a line of thinking, the Red Wolf Club will not only be able to toss, but also be cold and hard, and do things roughly.
Dismissive? Then go where you can get used to it. A strong twisted melon is not sweet, and these people were sent out of the country. Even so-called technical talents are not uncommon.
This practice was once considered by the rulers of Haotian City and Liuyun City to be digging their own graves, and the technical power was lost, so how could the factory production still operate?
At the same time, they have also noticed an exodus of the 'sick people' whom they see as garbage.
They talked about it in private, and joked about the Red Wolf Society, saying that they were just a bunch of garbage guys who didn't know how to run a city-state, and they lost watermelons and picked up sesame seeds.
From a certain point of view, it is true that technical personnel are very valuable, especially in this era, the birth of a qualified technical person is difficult, because one of the five basic needs of human beings, the need for security, can not be effectively guaranteed, at least for the majority of people at the bottom.
This determines that the base for the birth of intellectuals has been greatly reduced, and only the middle class can provide a family environment for cultivating intellectuals.
As for the children of the powerful, they are elite education, management, and imperial studies, and they are born to go to the goal of managing people and companies, and will not delve into a certain industry technology.
High-end professionals have difficult births, and patients are typical drags, and Skylight City lets the former leave and absorbs the latter, which is indeed not like what a reasonable operator does.
However, the rulers of Haotian City and Liuyun City obviously didn't notice the characteristics of ****.
If this church is just a mouthpiece, at most pouring some chicken soup for the soul to the believers, and struggling to produce some fanatical believers' god stick organizations, then its energy is indeed limited.
But if there is a true God and a true Dharma, then it is definitely a different matter.
A famous person on the earth once scolded such a sentence, saying that whenever the world is difficult and disasters are rampant, the monster of religion begins to show its teeth and claws and wreak havoc everywhere.
This is a fact, it is a phenomenon, it is too difficult to obtain, especially psychological comfort, even a little bit of light, people are willing to grasp it.
In times of suffering, in times of crisis, in times of despair, in the midst of encounters, most of the emotions that burst out are sincere and pious.
People hate dogs, as long as you don't give up, I won't give up. This is where the power and horror of religion lies......
