Chapter 66: The Gathering Place of Black Technology - Alchemy City
"That's right, this precious formula has no other forces except Alchemy City!" Kano paused after speaking, and continued: "Before talking about Alchemy City, let me ask you a question, have you ever wondered if magic is so magical and simply omnipotent, why is the life of ordinary people still so difficult? ”
"Yes" Chen Yu himself did have such doubts, through the understanding of several formulas and what he saw and heard, he could roughly judge that the level of science and technology in this world was very high, very high, compared to the technology in reality, it was not much better, and even slightly exceeded, at least in reality, there was no Sky City and Teleportation Array.

It stands to reason that such a high level of science and technology is enough for the people to live a life similar to that of ordinary people in reality, not to mention wearing gold and silver, at least worry-free food and clothing, but in fact? According to Chen Yu's understanding, the living conditions of ordinary people here are very difficult, equivalent to the level of the 14th and 5th centuries, and there are often deaths of starvation and freezing. In such an environment, it is not difficult to understand that equipment is difficult to obtain.
But why is this happening? Chen Yu didn't know, but he knew that there must be some secrets, and he asked, "Could it all be related to the alchemy city you said?" ”
"Yes, you must also know that alchemy is an extremely broad and complex discipline, there are more than a dozen branches alone, there are metal alchemy, non-metal alchemy, life alchemy, etc., there are many sub-categories under these big categories, but even a genius can only be proficient in a few sub-categories in his life, so alchemy is not only difficult to learn, but even more difficult to inherit, some alchemy masters in order not to let their lifelong learning from have no successors, they united to form a neutral force alchemy city, this is the origin of the alchemy city" Kano explained: "The original intention of the establishment of Alchemy City was to pass on the alchemy technology, but after thousands of years have passed, they have grown into a behemoth relying on the unparalleled alchemy technology, and have mastered countless alchemy recipes, such as the Sky City, the Sky Battleship, and the Teleportation Array, which you know, are all their creations!" Although it is still a neutral force, it has almost monopolized all alchemists, reaching the point where it can decide the life and death of a small country, and in the face of such power, almost no one can give up, and alchemists are no exception! ”
Chen Yu nodded, once a person has the right to decide the life and death of others, it is difficult to let go, especially the kind of right that has no restrictions, such as the emperor in history, even if his own son wants to grab the position, he will kill it, without the slightest hesitation, and it is the same if he wants to come to the alchemy city at that time.
"In order to keep the power in his hands, Alchemy City began to prohibit the outflow of all things related to alchemy, including alchemists, materials, formulas, etc., which can only be passed on internally" Kano sneered when he said this, and said: "A group of self-defeating guys still want to rule the world based on this, hehe, I have to say, alchemists are really naïve sometimes!" ”
Technophiles are generally naïve! Chen Yu has a deep understanding of this, because he has a group of technical nerds under his command, they are naïve enough to make people half dead, and often do things that make Chen Yu cry and laugh, and he often complains secretly: Have you 250 IQ been eaten by dogs?
Alchemy City didn't know what the consequences of their move would be, thinking that doing so would make the major forces double their favor and respect for him, hehe! I really don't know how their heads grow, how can they think so? Don't they know that everyone used to treat him so much because of their selfless heritage? Maybe they know, but they thought that their powerful power made them swell, so the war besieging Alchemy City broke out, and Alchemy City ended in a fiasco, if it weren't for the fear that the alchemy technology would be cut off after killing them, maybe Alchemy City would have long ceased to exist."
Kano narrated these secrets, which opened Chen Yu's eyes, it turned out that no matter what world he was in, it was not peaceful, and there would be interests and disputes.
"After learning the lesson of this time, Alchemy City began to develop in a low-key manner, but it refused to promote alchemy technology on a large scale, and only allowed it to spread within the prescribed range, such as the Star Capital" Kano said this, asking, "Do you know why they did this?" ”
"Uh...... Why? Chen Yu shook his head and didn't understand, Alchemy City had obviously failed miserably, and his wounds were still bleeding, how could he have the courage to make such a request? Isn't this a death, even if you don't want to promote alchemy technology, you don't need to say it, at most you are secretly doing some small actions.
"Hehe, you can't think of it, can you?" Kano chuckled as if laughing at himself, and said: "Their reason is: if once their alchemy technology is promoted, the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes, the most obvious change is that the living standards of ordinary people will be qualitatively improved, and there will never be starvation or freezing to death again, but the disadvantages are also obvious, people will lose the will to struggle and strong physique because of the ease of life, and over time, the entire race will degenerate, and then perish and disappear into this world!" ”
Chen Yu was speechless after hearing this, is this reason correct? Yes and no!
It is said that it is right because the Twin Pupils Clan was born in the midst of alien surrounding, and after how many tempering, how much blood was shed, and how many lives were lost during this period, it is unknown how much it has risen to the current overlord, which shows how important the external environment is to a race.
It's not right to say that it's because we can't give up food because we choke, we can't ignore those living lives for fear of racial regression, aren't we becoming strong to protect our people? Then why turn a blind eye to those who starved and froze to death? It's ridiculous!
In fact, the reason of Alchemy City is suspected of reversing the logic, using the "effect" that will not happen in the future to negate the present "cause", and then achieve their goal of "hoarding goods" and stabilizing their own status, but this "fruit" is really possible, because before the Double Pupil Clan, there were several civilizations that were not worse than them and perished, this is a lesson from the past, so Chen Yu has already speculated the result, otherwise the whole world will not be as poor as the earth in the fifteenth century.
"Since the fate of the entire race is at stake, the higher-ups have to be cautious, so they temporarily agreed to the request of Alchemy City, which has continued until now." Kano said: "Regardless of whether the reason for Alchemy City is correct or not, let's just talk about Alchemy City. Although Alchemy City has retained its unique position for this reason, the other high-level forces are obviously not idiots, in order to prevent Alchemy City from developing and growing again, they have united to control the material channels of Alchemy City, alchemy, alchemy, what gold do they refine without materials? ”
No matter what world you are in, there is no shortage of smart people, the Alchemy City Demon is three feet high, and the forces are one foot higher! Chen Yu sighed.
"It seems that the forces have seized the lifeblood of Alchemy City, in fact, as long as they don't want to rule the world, life is still good, and they have to be offered wherever they go, and no one can do anything about them, after all, they really can't do without them!" Kano's voice changed: "However, there is a group of people who have broken this status quo, or are about to break it!" ”
"Who?"
"You guys!"
"We?"
