Chapter 154: Five Years
Five years
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed.
During this time, a lot of things happened that are worth remembering for Matthew.
Minaya Frese finally left the wizarding world three years ago and went to the "Elven World", and her departure took all the essence of Area 2579 with her.
Knowing that the "Elven World" was coming, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Matthew did not go to see her off in person, but just stayed at the edge of Area 2579 and witnessed the whole process. The arrival of the "Elven World" was really unceremonious, taking away all the essence of the natural law and all the inhabitants of Area 2579, leaving only a desolate land and a few ruins.
Matthew could feel the damage caused by the other party's actions to the wizarding world, but with Matthew's current strength, he couldn't stop it at all. For some reason, there was no official wizard who came out to stop this, and let the other party do it in his own world.
In addition, the "Expedition Road" project has also progressed at an unimaginable speed, and the results achieved have amazed Matthew.
The efforts and wisdom of billions of people have come together to burst out with infinite power.
By this time, thanks to the unremitting efforts of all, more than 90 per cent of the population had been educated in basic education in the 57 principalities, and great progress had been made in the industrial revolution.
At this moment, each of the principalities in the secular world has forged its own industrial center, found the right way of industrial development in line with its own local conditions, and did not let Caofeidian be predominant, and nearly 20% of the total population was freed from the shackles of the land, plunged headlong into the torrent of industrialization, and completed the important transformation from peasants to workers. In the secular world, the commodity economy is changing with each passing day, and commercialization is becoming more and more prosperous.
Tremendous progress has also been made in infrastructure development in the secular world. At least 1 billion people in each of the 57 principalities are involved in the construction of infrastructure, all of whom have their part to play and work together. The end result is that all the land territories of the secular world have been laid with an incomparably complex transportation map, in which roads and railways go hand in hand.
In the secular world, the tentacles of highways have extended to the village and town level, and basically as long as there are people, roads are opened. The railways are even more exaggerated, and among the entire 57 principalities, several important railway arteries have been built, and the distance between them has been shortened at once, especially a large ring railway linking all the major cities of the 57 principalities.
With a total length of more than 140,000 kilometers and a total of nearly three months to walk down, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a meridian in the secular world.
More and more people have begun to adapt to traveling by train or car, and everyone's perception of distance has been constantly refreshed.
What's more, the internet has also grown tremendously.
Unlike the Earth World, the Internet in the Wizarding World is a direct copy and transformation of Matthew, and it does not have a gradual evolution process, and at the beginning, it seems mature enough and attractive enough.
For ordinary people living in the wizarding world, there is no more attractive place in this world than the Internet.
After these five years, the penetration rate of network equipment has exceeded 90% in Vantasia, except for young children, basically everyone has a device, everyone's daily work, life, communication, have begun to rely more and more on the Internet, the operation efficiency of various affairs, has also been greatly improved.
In the secular world, the popularity of network equipment is slightly worse, only more than 30% of the penetration rate, after all, compared to people in the secular world, the price of these devices is still a bit too high.
