3.8 Steam has experienced modern history (nearly 1,000 years) and changes in the geography of the continent.

Since the end of the Divine Age, the geography between the Eastern and Western Continents has been in a state of isolation.

Highest latitude: Hella people and a range of nomads. The disruption of trade routes was artificially created

In the mid-latitudes: the vast Luna Basin and the surrounding Lunar Meteorite Mountains create a geographical isolation.

At low latitudes on the equator: sea humans occupy shallow sea islands.

Therefore, for a long time after the fall of human scientific and technological civilization, there were few social and cultural exchanges between the eastern and western continents.

#

But a thousand years ago,

The continent entered the steam calendar, and the Oka Empire on the peninsula on the west coast of the Western Continent began the Industrial Revolution, and then rose, bringing changes to the world.

The Industrial Revolution led to the expansion of the military and economic power of the Oka Empire. When they were at their strongest, that is, during the period of 400 to 600 years of steam, the whole Mediterranean was them.

At that time, the St. Sauk Empire was still struggling to guard the Black Sea bath, and the fiefdom of the Dragon's Tooth family was not yet within the territory of the empire, and they were not loyal to the empire.

The Oka Empire's naval fleet at that time was not limited to the Mediterranean,

At that time, the country was extremely powerful, and they decided to open up the sea and land to expand to the east. After the end of the Divine Age, the first economic communication between the East and the West began.

In the 300th year of the steam calendar, the Oka Empire easily opened up the trade routes between the East and the West with the strength of its ships and guns.

In the process of opening up the Southern Ocean, the first thing they crushed was the human race in the Southern Ocean.

This nation is not a race like the Kraken of the Old Age of Magic, and in fact it would be very angry to confuse this nation with the Sea Clan of the Old Age of Magic. They consider themselves to be the most orthodox human beings since the age of God.

The sea humans, like the terrestrial humans, have lost a lot of civilization and technology after the end of the God-given era, but the basic civilization is still there.

Before the arrival of the Oka Empire, they lived by domesticating dolphins, growing seaweed, firing porcelain, and building splendid palaces on the islands of the South Seas, inlaid with gold. Their history on the ceramic plate also records the God-given era, and there is a certain prejudice against terrestrial humans. Therefore, the era of sail warships failed to open up the nautical lines of communication.

Some history buffs in the Western Continent now always like to assume that if the Oka Empire, which was strong at that time, treated the sea humans in a better way after the war, then what would be the relationship between the land humans and the sea humans now.

#

But history does not assume that the end of the God-given age is not only human science and technology, but also human civilization.

Humanity after the end of the God-given Age was full of prejudices,—— which led to the extinction of all non-inhuman sapient species after the fall of humanity.

At that time, the ironclad ships of the Oka Empire directly swept through the six sea human kingdoms, massacring, destroying, and looting in large numbers. At that time, the high-level of the Oka Empire took it for granted that the strength of the country must be unscrupulous to trample on another country, humiliate another nation, and show off the exquisite artworks stolen from another civilization to show strength.

After the Oka Empire easily opened up the South Sea Route at that time, it definitely did not expect to leave a serious historical problem for itself and even the terrestrial humans of the entire Western Continent.

#

After crushing the sea humans, the Oka Empire fleet reached the east. Having just arrived in the Eastern Continent, the Oka Empire was still very careful. Although there are no economic exchanges between the East and West Continents, there are still intermittent people-to-people exchanges. The three high-ranking professions in the Western Continent are also found in the Eastern Continent.

But only ten years later, the Oka Empire realized that they didn't need to be so careful in the Eastern Continent.

Because the Eastern Continent was still in the era of beast control technology at that time. Gunpowder weapons have appeared, but flintlock pistols and front-loading cannons have not yet been able to shake the dominance of the mighty beast war.

Moreover, the Eastern Continent was in an era of competition for hegemony among nations at that time. Note that the beginning of this era of nation-to-nation hegemony predates the rise of the Oka Empire.

After the arrival of the Oka Empire, the suddenly intensified contradictions between the countries of the Eastern Continent cannot be said to be created by the Oka Empire, but are themselves brewing over the years, and the people of the Oka Empire quickly discovered and took advantage of the contradictions of all parties in the Eastern Continent.

#

ps: As a direct result of the long period of struggle for hegemony among the nations in the Eastern Continent, many families in the Eastern Continent crossed the Moonfall Basin and the Moonfall Mountain Range, which were still very dangerous at that time, to the Western Continent.

The Qingjun family belonged to the family that fled from the Eastern Continent, and they were the puppeteer family who were not welcomed from the Eastern Continent at that time. When crossing the Moonfall Mountain Range for 1,600 years, it seemed that something had been experienced, and a family curse appeared directly.

#

After decades of exploration and local operations.

With their advanced firing guns, breech-loading guns, and concrete fortresses, the Oka began to colonize the Eastern Continent on a large scale.

And after decades of colonization, with the arrival of generations of radical Oka Shaozhuang, Oka's policy in the East became more and more radical, when Oka's new generals, seeing that the military power in their hands was getting stronger and stronger, changed the policies of the previous generation to those who thought they could obtain more military merit, but these policies also became more woolly.

The initial colonial policy first became a struggle for hegemony in the Eastern Continent, and finally directly turned into an attempt to conduct a racial war on the Eastern Continent by imitating the model of conquering the sea humans.

The arrogance of the Oka Empire directly caused the anger of the countries of the Eastern Continent. On the Eastern continent a broad alliance was formed.

#

Finally, three hundred and fifty years ago, the Eastern nations began to fight against Oka in the Eastern colonies, and fought many large-scale battles.

One of the largest Jingdong battles: the six countries of the Eastern Continent were led by the royal family of the Jingchuan Empire. The 200,000-strong coalition fought head-on to defeat the main corps of Oka from the mainland. The coalition forces used 7,640 large-caliber artillery pieces of various types of more than 70 millimeters and eight armored trains. And the Eastern Continent dispatched more than forty high-ranking professionals in this battle.

The mega battle cost the Oka people 70,000 men, and the Oka turned to a defensive posture in the Eastern Continent. Rely on the Bastion Defense Group for defense.

#

However, in the end, it was the Southern Ocean that made the Oka people abandon the colonies of the Eastern Continent.

Sea humans are a civilized and civilized race, and they have the ability to learn after being brutally beaten in technological backwardness.

The sea humans of the Southern Ocean also began to explore the wreckage of the sunken ships of the Oka Empire, and developed steam technology at a very fast speed. Steam battleships were also developed.

On the sea, the sea humans are not fighting to break the war, their steam engine technology is not enough to support high-speed heavy armored battleships, they are forced to use low-speed battleships to ensure sea and land passages, fortress the islands of the Southern Ocean one by one, and cut off the communication lines of the Oka Empire.

In the year 384 of the Steam Calendar, the fleet of the Oka Empire was forced to start the largest fleet duel with the Sea Human Alliance in the history of the Steam, and the result of the war was that the sea fleet of the Oka Empire and the low-speed Iron King Eight of the Sea Humans bombarded each other for two days, and finally had to withdraw from the battlefield.

When he fled, he was mended by the destroyer by a high-speed lightning strike by the sea humans. In the end, only thirty percent of the warships returned to the mainland of the Western Continent.

After the victory of the sea people, the east-west maritime economic channel opened by the Oka people was also sealed again.

#

This is the end of the era of world empires in Oka.

But the end of this era has had a huge impact on the Eastern and Western Continents

Let's start with the influence of the Western Continent:

The Oka Empire and the countries of the Eastern Continent are engaged in a fierce war of attrition.

During the 30-year war, Oka spent a lot of economic resources and lost a million military members (including the army, including baggage and logistics), and more than 30 high-ranking professionals were killed and captured in the war. The median occupation lost nearly 1,000, and the lower occupation was conservatively estimated at more than 20,000. After the war, many family inheritances were tightened.

Rao was the strength of the Oka Empire back then, and he couldn't stand such a large number of casualties, and the lack of professionals directly caused the Oka Empire to enter a period of serious weakness. This gave many competitors in the Western Continent a chance to turn around.

After the defeat of the Oka Empire from the Eastern Continent, an anti-Oka alliance was quickly formed on the Western Continent.

This kind of 'take advantage of your illness to kill you' war has broken out

At that time, almost all the countries of the Western Continent were involved, and the Oka Empire was cut again. Oka was directly paralyzed for two hundred years, and it was only nearly a century that it began to regain the power of the country.

In the process of the decline of the Oka Empire, many countries in the western continent took the opportunity to fill the space, and it can be said that St. Sauk was the biggest beneficiary, grabbing half of the Mediterranean.

#

Let's talk about the influence of the Eastern Continent.

The war between the countries of the Eastern Continent and the Oka Empire was almost lost, and all the countries in the east were cut down in the war. When the traditional power of the Eastern Continent was fighting against the Oka people, it gave a country that was originally in the west a chance to develop.

The Taiyun Kingdom was established 3,500 years ago, and the Taiyun Kingdom was a small country 1,600 years ago. And 400 years ago, the country's power gradually rose.

The eastern border of the Saint Thauk Empire is the endless Moonfall Mountains, but the Moonfall Mountains that the Saint Saur Empire came into contact with are only a part of this sprawling mountain range.

From an extraterrestrial perspective

The Moonfall Mountains are a huge ring of mountains, with a central basin plain of 1,000 kilometers in diameter and a series of mountains around the edge of the basin. The Hagia Sauk Empire had to cross a huge mountain center to reach the center of the mountains.

This depression was the domain of the ancient forest spirits hundreds of thousands of years ago, and at that time this huge basin was called the Land of the Blessing of the Moon God. The name of the moonfall was named 20,000 years ago, and the prediction of humans in the God-given era at that time was that there were two moons on the planet 60 million years ago. And now there is only one moon, and after the other moon falls, it smashes into the center of the continent and becomes a central basin.

According to the literature, the ancient elven civilization completely declined 140,000 years ago, suffered a heavy blow again 50,000 years ago, and came back to life after a short period of resurrection 30,000 years ago, but the population was already very small, and it was completely incorporated into the rule and assimilated a large number of people in the God-given era, but after the end of the God-given era, this race was wiped out along with the old human magic family.

#

After tens of thousands of years of changes, the huge forests of the past turned into plains full of lakes in the God-given era, and human beings flourished here in the God-given era.

However, after the end of this God-given era, this is where the Godfall War was fought most fiercely.

Although in the hundreds of years since the Godfall War, it has become lush again.

But the animals that enter here become very weird and deformed after a few generations. Even after humans settle here, they will become abnormal after several generations. During the 10,000 years of the Godfall War, it was also known as the Land of the Damned.

However, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and although there are a lot of terrifying legends in the Moonfall Basin, there are still people who pass through the Moonfall Basin, and there are still people who settle in the Moonfall Basin.

Under the investigation of a large number of explorers in the East after the steam era, the jungle land full of monsters seems to have become accessible. After a joint investigation by scholars (explorer professions) from the East and West of the continent in the past hundred years, it was found that in the Moonfall Basin, even if the villages established close to the Death Glass Hills were established, the probability of giving birth to a cursed child (deformed child) was only 1 in 10,000.

Of course, this 1 in 10,000 probability of a cursed child will also give a terrible panic to human settlements, until 600 years ago, there were villages here, and no large settlements were formed.

#

In the past thousand years, the two countries of the Taiyun Empire and the St. Sauk Empire have been separated by huge geopolitical barriers, and there is almost no possibility of contact between the two sides.

However, with the war in the eastern continent, especially the large-scale invasion of Oka, a large number of famine civilians poured into Taiyun.

The royal family of Taiyun had to set their sights on the Moonfall Basin.

Therefore, in the past 700 years, the Taiyun Kingdom has continued to explore, constantly marking the dangerous areas in the glass dead hills, and cutting off the rivers that pass through the glass dead hills with water conservancy projects.

Taiyun is around the fluorescent pile of glass dead mounds, and a ring dam is built to block it. Hazardous materials in the dead mound are no longer leaked through natural water sources. The Cursed Child has been reduced to a probability of millions.

The veil of demonization in the Moonfall Basin is gradually being removed, and now is also the time for the Taiyun Empire to harvest.

In the past hundred years, the Taiyun Empire will be a large-scale moonfall basin. With the geographical proximity, as well as the trade needs of the East and the West.

Future contact is not voluntary. The top management of Taiyun is thinking about this problem.
