Donner didn't think Lisa would really build a wall to defend it, and if one day, monsters and aliens south of the equator would threaten Middle-earth, the line of defense should be on the coastline, not a wall. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The giant catapult that Lisa made coincided with some of Donner's ideas, but he would not rush to put them into practice before the capacity of the water electrolysis plant was up.

In the second year of the new calendar, with the opening of freight trains and the completion of the installation of various machinery and equipment, the Aili Industrial Zone is rapidly expanding like a balloon.

In September of the second year of the new calendar, the second blast furnace of the steel mill was ignited, and the pure hydrogen transported by the water electrolysis plant completely replaced the coke, and the coking plant in the western area of the industrial park was suspended after less than two years of operation.

In October, the oxygen plant, which used to use water totem poles to liquefy and separate air, began to produce nitrogen and carbon dioxide in large quantities.

In November, the first chain tractor produced by the machine plant rolled off the assembly line.

In December, more than 300 magic apprentices, who had mastered the magic of the arc of fire, were selected from among the laborers who built the factory, and after initial training, they officially took up the position of magic welders, and began to build two large reactors on the other side of the Isa River.

While the industrial park is thriving, there have also been many serious industrial accidents. The gantry crane supporting the No. 2 blast furnace collapsed during construction, killing and injuring more than a dozen people; the machinery factory had two accidents in which the machine tool was started by mistake and crushed the maintenance technicians to death; and the low-temperature furnace of the Air Liquide plant leaked, and nitrogen gas of more than minus 200 degrees Celsius directly sprayed two workers into debris...... There have been dozens of accidents involving broken legs and broken hands.

Although most of the casualties in the accident were workers who had not received industrial safety education, Donner still mobilized Danny and other technical backbones to carry out job safety education in the industrial park while paying high pensions.

In fact, these deaths and injuries in the Avery Industrial Park are nothing compared to the chaos in the entire Hulse Continent.

This was the year when the negative effects of the New Deal and the popularization of magic began to appear. Even if he only visited Coenas once in a while, Donner was a little annoyed by the news.

A count in the province of Cope was beaten to death by angry farmers for preventing them from signing up in textile mills.

In several provinces in the south, there have been farces of civilians storming magic gold sales points and robbing magic gold.

Wesley's bicycle factory was paralyzed by the congestion of civilians who were required to work in the factory, forcing Wesley to borrow the Royal Knights from Coenas in order to maintain order.

The nobles, led by the five dukes, jointly submitted a petition to Empress Lucia, requesting the repeal of the Presbyterian Church and all the laws it promulgated. Because in these laws, it was even stipulated that the fiefdom nobility had to open free schools in their domains for the so-called compulsory education of commoner children.

Because of the popularity of magic, various security incidents have emerged one after another. Moreover, as civilians earn magic gold in factories and schools, the number of magical apprentices is increasing exponentially, and the level of chaos is still on the rise.

Downer even heard that some nobles were forming so-called self-preservation associations to discuss how to deal with the increasingly unspoken farmers.

In this atmosphere, the newly built Capitol next to the Coenas Imperial Arena did not receive enough respect for its majestic momentum. The Imperial Council and the Council of Elders, which were almost entirely composed of nobles, were feeling the exclusion of the entire imperial aristocracy. Even the personal safety of the parliamentarians needs to be guaranteed by the Imperial Capital Police.

Donner could feel that the rise in status of the commoner class had caused unease among the aristocracy. The division and antagonism between classes is stronger than ever. And this change did not all come from the New Deal, and had more to do with the popularization of magic. Because anyone can become a magician as long as they can get magic gold, and the larger number of civilians obviously has more potential.

It is this potential that makes the nobles panic all day long.

In fact, the situation has developed so far, which was expected by Downer. The practice of magic for all is bound to cause great social change, and the weaker the productive forces, the more rigid the social hierarchy, the more destructive this change will be.

The absolute prestige gradually built up by Donner's successive miracles, in the great transformation that the Femont Empire was experiencing, both Lucia, Wesley, and Merkel firmly believed in the direction he pointed out. Even Lisa, who has always been hard-mouthed, is faintly looking forward to this change.

However, Donner was not as confident as he appeared to be.

He couldn't help but wonder if he, like the philosopher-kings, was wishful thinking about building a utopia that could only exist in fantasy.

The reason why Donner did not go to the center of the stage of reform, but always stood behind the scenes, was also to keep himself calm. He did not incite the people, let alone dress himself up as a savior, but even more because he was afraid that he would be carried away by the adoring gaze.

Unsure, with no ready-made experience to draw on for the Magic Empire, Donner could only pour his attention into the details.

Through Merkel's hand, he introduced Robert's rules of procedure in the Reichstag.

Occasionally, he would tell Lucia about "Maniskind, butmenarecruel." The truth.

Under his direction and encouragement, two newspapers devoted to social news, the Coenas Observer, and the Misty Times, the former belonging to the royal family of Faimon and the latter the private property of Wesley, were published.

In addition, in order to shift the discontent and resistance of the lower classes of society from violent conflict to political demands, Downer also established a prototype political party called the "Peasant Union" among the common students through the hand of Laurent, the director of Santan School of Magic and Magic.

At the end of the second year of the new calendar, Downer's actions are gradually showing their strength, but a news from the Far North has added another layer of worry to Downer.

In the month of Doom, Donner was invited by Cynthia to return to Fog City, and in the Fog City Government Hall on the Sixteenth Street, he met with the seven elders from the Far North Country.

The three dwarf elders, two men and one woman, each looked much older than Cynthia, and judging from the dwarf's lifespan of more than four hundred years, it was probably more than three hundred years old.

The four dwarven elders were all male, and they couldn't tell their age at all—the male dwarves had a beard all over their faces as soon as they reached adulthood.

In addition to these seven, the council chamber was filled with Cynthia, the dwarven king Grunada, and his son Gernada.

When Cynthia introduced Donner to the seven Elders, Donner could clearly sense that at least three of them were cold to him, unlike the dwarves and gnomes he had seen in Fog City.

It was only then that Donner realized why Gernada would tell him that the Far North was not monolithic.

He thought as he sat down on the only empty chair in the chamber.

"Donald ......" Cynthia looked preoccupied, not at all like her usual breezy appearance, "The Onya Empire has fallen...... As you might expect, troubled times are coming. ”

Donner looked straight at Cynthia, waiting for her to continue. Out of the corner of his eye, a dwarf elder was closing his eyes, seemingly uninterested in what Cynthia was going to say next.
