Chapter 24: The Rise of an Empire
Leaving the mountain martial arts hall, in the study.
Lin Tuo stood quietly beside the sand table, waved his hand, dispersed the mist forcibly rolled up from Taihe Mountain, and quickly withdrew the clone into his body.
After doing all this, overlooking the still calm crowd in the square of Yangcheng's central business district, he exhaled softly.
"All the best."
Taking the time to enter the Taihe Mountains with his doppelganger, he carved the exercises on the surface of the boulder, which really wasted his effort, and for the sake of prudence, he even deliberately carved with his left hand, and carefully cleaned the fingerprints and other traces.
Make sure you don't leave any clues.
"Yangcheng said that it is not small, but it is not big, there are many people in the square who witnessed this scene, and there are many people who shoot it.
Especially in the local area of Yangcheng, it will inevitably cause further heated discussions......
As for the national scale, it is likely to attract some attention, but not necessarily very much.
At the end of the day, there is a limit to what a mysterious warrior can attract attention...... At least, until the exercises are proven to be effective......"
"Next, as long as the Yangcheng City Government is not too slow, it will definitely conduct an investigation and report to the superiors, perhaps, soon the provincial investigation team will come."
However, Lin Tuo was not worried about finding himself, with the help of the ability to derive the sand table, he appeared out of thin air and disappeared out of thin air, and the details of his body were also covered up, and his whereabouts could not be traced back at all.
I saw that the flow of people in the square gradually calmed down.
Lin Tuo didn't think much about it anymore, got up and went to the martial arts arena for daily practice.
……
……
Midday.
When Lin Tuo came down the mountain and came to the town to eat, he had already heard some diners discussing the events of the morning.
In the group chat, in the circle of friends, there are also related videos, as well as photos of "Qingling Breath Technique" circulating.
Many people will be skeptical, some will be convinced that they are liars, and others will be supportive:
"It's true! I testify! I happened to be in the center of the city this morning, and I witnessed the man throwing such a large stone tablet from the upper floor into the flower bed, and the ground smashed into a big hole!
I've even touched it, it's a real stone, not a prop! So heavy, and can throw so accurately, it's not something that normal people can do at all! ”
In the company group, a former colleague said in a matter-of-fact manner.
A copywriter girl who came in for an internship for a short time was curious:
"Is it right in the heart of the city? I'll check it out when I'm off work. ”
"Don't go, it's been blocked, the relevant departments in the city have taken over, I heard that the stones have been moved, and I don't know if it's true or not.
It's a pity...... Don't even say it, the stele looks pretty good there......"
"Ah, that's right."
Lin Tuo silently peeked at the screen, watching everyone's discussion, not too surprised.
Suddenly, a colleague said:
"You say, that Qingling Breath Technique...... Is it true or false? I mean, this thing looks like some kind of internal mental method, right? ”
Another person quipped, "I think it's more like cultivating the method, the kind in the novel." ”
After a pause, he added, "Why don't we try it too?" I've looked at it carefully, and this trick shouldn't be difficult, even if you adjust your breathing, it doesn't hurt to try it. ”
"Not good...... Or wait for the official news? ”
"No matter, anyway, I'll try it first when I get off work."
"Plus one."
There were mostly young people in the group, and they were full of curiosity, and several people immediately discussed the matter of cultivation, and the rest of them did not speak, but Lin Tuo estimated that many people were also moved.
……
After lunch, Lin Tuo entered the study, immediately called out the "virtual panel", and switched the derivation sand table to the "creative mode".
In the room, the light and shadow suddenly dissipated, and then reorganized, forming a continent in an instant.
After more than 30 hours of acceleration, there have been changes on the Sand Table Continent.
Looking down, the originally chaotic farmland in the entire Chi country has become much more regular, and some of the originally barren and unsuitable land for cultivation has also been reclaimed as farmland.
If you look closely, you can vaguely see the busy human beings pushing the new agricultural machinery in the fields.
This is clearly the result of the "agrarian reform".
The land was cultivated by "big landlords", or by the national and local governments, and the use of new agricultural tools, new fertilizers, and more scientific planting methods increased food production.
As for the labor force originally engaged in farming, they were recruited into state-owned factories, trained to work, and used new technologies to produce fertilizers, pesticides, new agricultural machinery, and so on.
After work, under the local arrangement, they enter the "night school" for basic learning, so as to achieve a positive cycle.
When Lin Tuo shifted his attention to the factories that were beginning to take shape, his mood became better and better.
This feeling of witnessing the rapid development of a country...... It's amazing.
Open the run log.
Lin Tuo said softly, and the interface automatically popped up.
[In the 740,823rd year of the world's evolution, Chi Guo's agricultural reform and the implementation of a series of new decrees, in the same year, the first state-owned factory was opened in Tao County to produce agricultural needs, and relevant laboratories were established for pilots. 】
【…… A year later, the scope of the pilot was gradually expanded, and the then monarch proposed the first five-year plan ......]
【…… In 829, the first large-scale textile factory was established on the banks of the Momogawa River in the suburbs of Kyoto, and the new textile machine had an impact on the original textile industry.
In the same year, Chi Guo invested 10,000 taels of silver to develop a steam engine, took the lead in investing in Xishan Mining, and planned to issue a trust currency...... Further liberalization of private commercial activities ......]
【…… In 838, the first stock exchange in Chi Province was established in Kyoto, raising more than ...... private capital.
【…… Forty-one years ......]
【…… Fifty-three years ......]
Lin Tuo browsed the operation log with great interest.
Through this period of exploration, he also became more and more aware of the rules of the journal, and he was more inclined to record certain landmark events of social development.
To put it simply, it is an event that deserves to be recorded in a history textbook and appear on an exam paper.
Therefore, during the period of rapid social development, records are particularly frequent, and Lin Tuo only needs to browse to roughly capture the development context.
The more the same thing goes on, if there is no major change in the same kind of thing, it will no longer be recorded.
Folding it, Lin Tuo looked at the "current environmental aether concentration" with anticipation.
It is not surprising that the back is still "low".
Further back, there is a green, rising arrow, indicating that the aether is rising in the sandbox.
"This time, it won't be so little."
Lin Tuo muttered in his heart, overlooking the sand table, slightly lowered his body, and immediately ran the Qi Eating Method again.
Then, I saw that in the sky above the rapidly changing Sand Table Continent, wisps of blue and white breath were pulled over and swallowed into the abdomen.
This time, as the ether entered, Lin Tuo's skin suddenly flushed and warmed up, as if he had a high fever, and there was even a slight amount of sweat pouring out.
Dozens of seconds later, Lin Tuocai opened his eyes and asked again:
"How much ether do I have now?"
The information that comes to mind:
[Host currently owns Aether: 536 points]
536!
Seeing this number, Lin Tuo's spirit was shocked.
Originally, after purchasing Tongyu, he only had 24 points of ether left, and absorbed a few more points, tempered his body, and removed these.
He took more than 500 points in this mouthful!
This is a leap forward from the last time.
You know, even Yang City only provided him with about a hundred ethers.
This bite is equivalent to five Yang Cities!
Of course, it can't be so simple and crude.
First, after these years of development, the total population of the Chi Kingdom has increased again, and secondly, Lin Tuo is not absorbing the ether at a certain point in time, but under the effect of time acceleration, he absorbs a certain period of time.
Therefore, it will be five times higher than Yangcheng.
Moreover, because the conversion consumption of the two modes is different, Lin Tuo suspects that the ether actually absorbed far exceeds this number, but part of it is consumed by the sand table.
"This is the right way, if you stick to the observation mode, how long will it take to accumulate five hundred points?"
Sighing in his heart, Lin Tuo felt a little inflated.
When you have money, you naturally want to spend.
I opened the "Mall" button with my mind, and there was only one product left in it:
[Observation range: 1000 points/10,000 square kilometers]
Seeing the number of 1,000 points, Lin Tuo was silent for two seconds, and the little "small expansion" in his heart disappeared at once.
I thought I had made a windfall, but I couldn't even afford half of the product.
Lin Tuo sighed deeply and smiled bitterly:
"I'm so poor."
