Chapter 760: The Swamp Workshop and the Upheaval in the Southern Seas

Lot 721 doesn't have a cafΓ© or a restaurant, but it does have a library.

Not only that, there are a lot of books here, and the repair is also very magnificent, basically the largest "cement house" in the town.

In the morning, when school-age students attend school and workers work in the well team, the three "academy people" who have returned to their hometowns to visit their relatives choose to gather here.

And the Night Ten from the Alliance.

Jiang Xuezhou originally planned to make a cup of coffee for everyone, but as soon as he took out the coffee pot, he was taken over by Wu Xiaoxiao.

"I'll do it." The girl smiled shyly, with shallow dimples on her face.

Jiang Xuezhou didn't shirk, politely said thank you, and then pulled out a chair and sat at the table.

Soon there were four cups of coffee on the table.

Seeing a pair of expectant eyes looking at him, Ye Shi, who had just picked up his coffee and took a sip, immediately understood their eyes, so he coughed lightly.

"Where did I last talk about?"

Li Xiang said with blazing eyes.

"The decisive battle on Bate Street!"

"Oh oh......" Ye Shi suddenly remembered, and the old memories also opened.

But then that thing is also called a decisive battle?

But in the end, he said it himself, Ye Shi cleared his throat, brought in the emotions of the time and continued to speak.

Including Wu Xiaoxiao, who is still an explorer, everyone listened to it fascinated.

However, just as he was talking about the beginning of the industrialization of the Union, Li Xiang suddenly raised his hand and interrupted his story.

"Wait a minute, there's something I haven't figured out...... You said that most of the original inhabitants of the Coalition were wastelanders and freed slaves, who were completely uneducated and did not even know a word, how did they develop industry? ”

Wu Xiaoxiao also nodded thoughtfully.

"I've heard that people in the wasteland can't even do ...... arithmetic"

Ye Shishen nodded approvingly.

"It was indeed difficult, and even our wise and martial manager felt that it was difficult, but he was not discouraged, on the one hand, he called on the residents of the shelter who knew how to devote themselves to the front-line construction, and on the other hand, he set up a night school in the industrial area to teach the experience and techniques of production to the liberated people, and even ...... He also became a tutor himself. ”

Li Xiang asked with a slight frown.

"Evening School...... Is it a type of school? ”

Ye Shi said succinctly.

"Sort of, but unlike the school on Bate Street, the night school is mainly for adults to break the law, after all, the workers have to work during the day and can only study at night."

He is a combat professional player, and although he was involved in construction work in the early days, he still fought a lot later.

In contrast, the life pro player of the league may have a better understanding of the situation at that time, after all, he has heard a lot of things from the forum.

"Work during the day and study at night...... Then they don't have much time in the day. Holding the warm coffee cup, Wu Xiaoxiao said with emotion.

"Learning is also for themselves, if a person wants to be easy, he has to use more advanced production tools, and if a group of people wants to be easy, most people have to use more advanced tools, and the alliance cannot be burned by relying on the pot camel machine, although it was essential at that time."

After a pause, Ye Shi said again.

"Moreover, their hard work was only temporary, and then we gave them back the time that belonged to them, including other things borrowed from them."

Li Xiang asked with interest, "For example?" ”

Ye Shi thought for a while and said: "For example, power and responsibility, in the future, we will not teach them how to make products better, they have their own industry representatives and institutions, they need to make their own rules, and define what is 'good' by themselves." Not just the product, but also the lifestyle and so on. After all, the version ...... Ahem, I mean the world is constantly being renewed, and we are ahead of the world, for example, to liberate more people. ”

All three had a sparkle in their eyes, drawn to the story he depicted.

Strictly speaking, this is not a story, after all, this is what happened in the wasteland, and it is happening.

While the light from that flame itself is not surprising, it is surprising that it was born out of the ruins of nothing.

There was no near-magical technology of the Science and Technology Commission, no steely dominance of the Legion, no abundant resources of the enterprise, only a group of surviving people themselves.

If only such a miracle could be born on the swamp, although it is a bitter cold place, the conditions are much better than in the valley province.

With a wistful glint in the eyes of the three of them, Ye Shi coughed lightly and said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I still have to say that our solution is not the only way, and you are actually doing a good job. The people here are already better off than most of the survivors in the wasteland, and you don't have to learn from us to start from scratch, then you're putting the cart before the horse. ”

Li Xiang looked at him and asked sincerely.

"And what do you think we should do?"

"How do I know this, I'm not your ......" Ye Shi said with a smile, scratching his head and giving an ambiguous answer, "For example...... Still with the long-term goal of finding a new home, but at the same time slightly better for those who can't make it to the new world? ”

When she heard this, Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly felt a little frightened, and she lowered her voice and said.

"It's something that only a Doctor of Conclusions can decide......"

"Then it's not such a lofty goal, just start from the small things around you, such as being a little better to the ordinary people around you, it's always okay to use your knowledge to improve their living conditions, G points should be exchanged for more than just food."

"That's right," Jiang Xuezhou's expression was slightly abrupt, and he nodded thoughtfully, "I can bring back some tools that the well team can use." ”

Night Ten said patiently.

"It's not just the tools, it's the more critical ones...... Although the description may be somewhat abstract, your vision is much higher than that of the inhabitants of Land 721, and there should be a lot more you can do to help them. ”

Li Xiang touched his chin and thought to himself.

"You mean knowledge? But the academy has a school, and the people here have been studying since birth, so they probably don't need us to do anything. ”

Jiang Xuezhou shook his head.

"The schools of the academy only teach them what the academy needs, but they themselves need very little, and we have to teach them the latter as well, just like the schools of the alliance to teach them the scientific method and the logic of exploring the laws of the operation of objective things...... At least they can't be selfish guys like Su Qiming. ”

Night Ten: "Su Qiming? ”

Li Xiang said with a smile.

"Ah, the one who got into an argument with you on the train, an E-class researcher, a refined egoist."

In the second half of the sentence, he used a mocking tone.

Night Ten suddenly came back to his senses.

"Oooh...... I've forgotten about it. ”

But is that mild wording a quarrel?

Sure enough, the guys in the academy are not ordinarily small......

Wu Xiaoxiao said with some hesitation.

"But we can't take away the children's time, they need to take exams."

Jiang Xuezhou touched his chin and nodded.

"I think ...... too So how about tutoring as an extracurricular course? Only 12~14-year-old children and 18~20-year-old youth are taught. The former has just met the age limit for taking the exam, and the exam pressure is not so heavy, while the latter basically has little chance. If it can influence more people, it may be able to promote the spontaneous reform of the Science and Technology Commission. ”

Li Xiang's eyes lit up.

"That's a good idea! I'm for it! ”

Seeing that both of them agreed, Wu Xiaoxiao hesitated, but did not refute anything.

Seeing that someone supported him, Jiang Xuezhou's eyes became brighter and brighter, clenched his fist on the table, and continued with great interest.

"We're going to have to give this organization a name...... What about calling the students? ”

At first, Ye Shi was still happily watching them discuss there, but when he heard the name of the bird, he almost didn't squirt out the coffee in his mouth, and coughed twice.

"Let's call it a seminar...... Sounds a little better. ”

Because of this broken game, he was deducted points by that thing when he went to bed, although he didn't know what the use of deducting that thing was.

Jiang Xuezhou and Li Xiang glanced at each other, but they didn't have any opinions, and nodded.

"I think so."

"I don't care...... That's the name. ”

"Then I...... Also in favor. Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little worried, but in the end she didn't say anything.

It is true that the SCT did not restrict the researchers from organizing the survivors of the SC to study, but this kind of thing has never happened.

She admits that the Alliance's story sounds fascinating, and even faintly tempts to go there.

However, some stories sound good, but if she had to make some changes, she didn't know if it was the right one.

Ultimately.

Xuezhou Senpai is just a D-class researcher.

Even if she is a promising research department, her mentor is only a powerful person who is only a thin line away from the A-level, and this power is still too small compared to the entire academy.

What's more, this kind of thing may not be supported by her mentor.

The second half of the meeting was basically a discussion of the details of the workshop and how to attract more fellows to participate.

To this end, they also discussed specific measures to expand the influence of the training institute among the grassroots forces of the academy by helping students of appropriate age to enter the academy.

Ye Shi originally wanted to continue telling the story he had just made, but found that both Jiang Xuezhou and Li Xiang had lost interest in the second half of the story, and only Wu Xiaoxiao looked at him with blank eyes, looking forward to the follow-up of the story.

Before you know it, it's evening.

It wasn't until he followed Jiang Xuezhou back home that Ye Shi, who was standing in the entrance, suddenly reacted.

He originally wanted to dig the foot of the academy wall, but he told the story all day, and as for the serious work, he completely left it behind, and there was no progress at all.

"it, it!"

β€œwocaoοΌŸβ€ Jiang Yuehan, who was quietly hiding next to the entrance and peeking, tilted her head.

"Children don't learn this." Ye Shi hurriedly went up to cover her mouth, but was caught by Jiang Xuezhou.

"What do you want to do to my sister?"

"No, I-" The murderous gaze, the constipated expression of the night eleven, was hesitant for a long time and couldn't explain clearly.

The little guy hiding behind the shoe cabinet laughed and grimaced mischievously.

"Giggles, wocao!"

Night Ten: "......@#%!" ”

……

Just when Ye Shi was caught by Jiang Xuezhou and knocked on the head and hid in the kitchen for refuge, there was also a jubilant and lively scene on the Meat Meat Moored in Xifan Harbor.

The pier of the West Sail Harbor.

In the vault of the Meat Meat, a man and a bear are rolling in the pile of gold coins.

Lying on the floor covered with gold coins in a large figure, his tail is doing a backstroke position while talking in his dreams with his eyes closed.

"Oh oh oh, meaty, you know what! I always had a dream when I was a kid! Be able to swim in the pool of the vault like Mike Duck! ”

"What is Mike Duck?"

"Haven't you seen Donald Duck?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Poof, there's still a bit of a gap between our vault and that guy. ”

"It doesn't matter! Feel it! ”

couldn't catch up with the topic of the two at all, Sesame Paste stood aside with an aunt-like smile on his face, and Sisi sat at the table and meticulously checked the account.

A total of six hundred and fifty tons of goods have been completely sold out, and the total sales have reached 4.9 million silver coins.

After deducting the purchase price, labor expenses, and other shipping costs and taxes, the profit from this trade reached a staggering 2 million silver coins!

Part of the payment was made through the EC's electronic money settlement system, while some was paid directly in dinars at a 1:5 exchange rate.

If you also take into account the exchange rate difference, the profit from his trading may be higher than the actual calculated amount.

After all, in the Legion's main trade zone, the general exchange rate between the dinar and silver coins is around 1:3.

At this moment, the gold coins earned have been spread on the ground by Ah Wei and Meat, saying that it is to experience a gold coin bath that is difficult to experience in reality.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ When I'm old, I'll exchange all my money for gold and hide it on an island! Tired of playing, Tail suddenly sighed, stretched his hand to the ceiling and said.

"Can you secretly tell me where you plan to hide?" Flesh asked, pricking up his ears.

Tail grinned, got up from a pile of gold coins, and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"Oh! If Flesh also wants the treasure of Black Tail, then go find it, it is at the end of the sea of stars! Go, the riches of the whole world are there! ”

This terrier is too old, and the flesh rolled his eyes, and he didn't accompany this guy to be stupid.

In fact, she is an easily satisfied person, she has no special desire for money, and enjoys the process of adventuring with her partners more than the process of making money.

In contrast, Sisi may enjoy making money more, after all, she is always so serious.

But what makes Rou Rou curious is why she would share this lucrative business on the forum.

Furry Bear Paw picked up a gold coin, and she asked curiously as she looked at Siss, who was stretching out and leaning back in her chair.

"Anyway, why put such a lucrative route on the official website? Isn't it good to make a fortune in a muffled voice? ”

Si Si couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and said casually.

"It's okay to make a small fortune by taking advantage of the information gap, but it's still a little difficult to make a big fortune."

"Huh?" Flesh tilted his head in confusion.

Seeing her confused expression, Si Si thought for a moment and continued.

"This is actually the same as the listing of Baiyue Company, it is indeed feasible to save all the shares in their own hands, and with the current scale of Baiyue Company, there is really no need to share the benefits with others, as long as the existing cake is kept. But if we want to go beyond that, we need to get more people to support it. Not only the support of our customers, but also the support of the majority of the residents of the Alliance...... And the quickest way to get their support is to make them our shareholders. ”

Although the NPCs of the alliance do not have the GM permissions that can be banned like the managers, they do have some permissions.

For example, they can really participate in legislative work through the congress, and they can participate in the selection of personnel in local institutions and alliance institutions, etc., in other words, they have the value of wooing.

It's not about buying or anything.

It's just that if Baiyue Company's profits are also shared by those NPCs, instead of just being shared among players, it will be more secure for Baiyue Company.

I think that those NPCs, even if they are for their own interests, will consider the interests of Baiyue Company a little more without touching the principles, instead of opposing on some issues.

When an institution amasses a huge amount of wealth and is stingy to share it with the majority that creates it, it is a dangerous thing at all times.

What's more, the funds brought by the listing itself can also accelerate the overseas business expansion of Baiyue Company.

The Baiyue Strait has a huge primeval forest, and it is not enough to rely on the small savings in the hands of players and the limited profits they have at the moment to expand their operations.

They need to make use of the savings that the inhabitants of the Alliance can't use for the time being, and if necessary, they will have to use the power of the Ideal City to use the vast legacy left by the Age of Prosperity.

Administrators have paved the way for them, including the earliest currency exchange protocols, and today's cohesive electronic payment and settlement systems.

"So...... Opening up new routes is itself a way to make the pie bigger? Trying to make sense of the complexity, Sesame asked thoughtfully.

"That's right."

Sisi nodded approvingly and continued.

"It's hard for us to make this pie bigger on our own, even if we buy a few more boats and make a few more trips. It is better to involve other players who are interested in sailing, and use their power to expand the entire market together...... What's more, even without us, they would have found out sooner or later, but we accelerated the process. ”

Although Seasail Harbor has a large population, it is still the territory of the Willant people, and the situation is far more special than that of Golden Gallen Harbor.

Under the iron-fisted rule of the Willant people, the locals have no political power, not even the freedom to eat, and can only act as slaves of the Willant colonists. Even if they wanted to make money from these people, they had to make the locals rich first.

There is no point in selling goods to livestock.

There is currently only one route from the Eastern World to the Western World, but it will be different when the rest of the Alliance players come here.

When the players become active in the local area, they can even expand the branch of the White Bear Knights Bank to help those who want to start a business solve their financial problems and provide shovels for those who want to pan for gold.

This is a lot more profitable than a simple trader.

Tail also nodded thoughtfully, and said vividly, "That's right, meat, you have to take a long-term view!" We'll be able to buy a ship five light years away! ”

Rourou couldn't help but complain: "That's just a pie with a big picture!" ”

The tail cocked the corners of his mouth proudly: "It's so naΓ―ve, how do you know it's not true?" After all, no one has ever seen it there. ”

"Is it called Planet Gaia...... I really want to know what it's like there. Looking at the vast ocean outside the porthole, Sesame Paste said with a fascinated face.

Tail: "Oh! Xiao Yu's hometown! There must be a lot of weird tentacles! ”

"Ahaha......" Sesame Paste smiled a little reluctantly.

Forget it.

Although Xiao Yu is quite cute, if it is the kind in the center of Qingquan City, it is somewhat mentally polluted......

……

The Meat Meat bound for Westsail Harbor is just an ordinary freighter that can no longer be ordinary.

At this moment, neither the few guys laughing and playing in the vault, nor the drunken sailors, did not realize that they had unknowingly planted a seed in this land that had not existed for two hundred years.

The stevedores in the harbor looked at the sailors with envy, or rather at the bottles in their hands.

It was an imported product from the east of the mainland, and a bottle cost hundreds or thousands of Xilan coins, which was more expensive than working in the port.

It was clear that among those sailors there were also some people from the province of Borneo, and they couldn't understand why those guys were treated differently when they were even like them, or even less than them.

Sure enough, it was the hateful Luna who stole their pockets......

In the Silvermoon Church in the port area, Melgio was shutting himself in the attic wondering what the name of the newly established newspaper was, and his eyes happened to fall on the crescent moon outside the window, so his eyes lit up, and he wrote the religious name of the "Silver Moon Gospel" on the paper.

Originally, this newspaper was also intended to spread the beliefs of the Silvermoon Sect.

However, out of consideration for the feelings of the locals, he thought about it, and removed the word "moon" and changed it to "Silver Gospel".

Although it seemed a little inappropriate to serialize it in such a religious newspaper for entertainment, the book was handed to him by the incarnation of the goddess of the silver moon walking in the mortal world, and it was not a bad match.

Compared to the Spirit of the Sand Sea, the Silvermoon Sect itself is a sect that has undergone secularization and reform, and it is not so stubborn in dogma, and it is also open to new things.

And he had carefully read the old books he had picked up from the Flesh Horn, and the story of Bohr the Awakened was probably the most resonant to the locals, and it was more suitable for the illiterate to pass on by word of mouth.

Just as the new wind blowing towards the wasteland became more and more violent, the situation in the southern seas finally took a new change after a long silence.

Shazhou Island, which had been forced to fall to the Northern Federation under the pressure of the battleship "Haiya", broke out an uprising with the "Alien Defense Act" signed by the new cabinet.

The island's guards were swift and quickly suppressed the local military camp, then seized the Governor's Palace, declared Charas's new cabinet an "illegal institution", and declared Sandbank Island's secession from the Northern Union in the name of defending the Declaration.

As strange as it sounds, there are only 70,000 people on Sandbank Island.

The soldiers of the entire island together were less than a company, and the lads of the guard bureau had a battalion instead.

Coupled with the fact that the stability of the Charas authorities was completely maintained by that battleship, the legitimacy itself was a question mark, and the soldiers could not raise any will to resist, and after firing a few shots, they tied up their commanders, so that this strange uprising ended without a drop of blood.

The young men who were heathing were actually confused, they were dissatisfied with Charas, and they didn't look down on Charas's puppets, but they really didn't think about what to do if they drove that guy away.

What's even more bizarre is that when they occupied the Governor's Palace, the Governor, who was sitting in the Governor's Palace, simply took off his hat and threw it at them, threw down a "You won" and resigned on the spot.

They did something they wanted to do, but no one knew what to do next......

One thing is certain, though, that it is clear that Charas will not tolerate this betrayal, and neither will the radicals standing behind him.

They need to use the blood of traitors to deter others who are ready to move.

Not to mention that they've done it once before -

Ordered the battleship Haiya to fire at Anle Island.

The new authorities on Shazhou Island, apparently aware of Charas' certainty, sent a telegram to the South China Sea Alliance in a hurry.

Behind the South China Sea Alliance is the Alliance, and behind the Alliance is the Adhesive Community, this big tree is much cooler than the Northern Federation, and there are not so many outrageous requirements.

After receiving the telegram from Shazhou Island, the South China Sea Alliance authorities did take it very seriously, especially when they found that a destroyer was covering another cargo ship converted landing ship from the North Island.

It looked like a decoy, and Charas couldn't have counted them out for a sortie, the battleship was already silently ambushing somewhere at sea.

However, this is not an opportunity.

In order to gain full certainty, Commander Li Minghui immediately called the port of French fries while dispatching the fleet, hoping to obtain reinforcements from the alliance.

The commander who received the telegram did not hesitate, and immediately went into action after asking the governor appointed by the administrator.

Substantial military friction between the two sides has already taken place, and there is no need to hide anything. What's more, the collusion between the Northern Federation and the Torch henchmen is already a matter on the surface, and at most it has not pierced the layer of window paper.

The guy crouching in the landing craft is a flare-operated mutant!

This is not the first time!

Two H-10 "Overlord" transport planes stationed at the military base on the north side of the port of French fries scrambled into the air, carrying two companies of the Burning Corps in the direction of Shazhou Island.

At the same time, two L-10 Thunder forward-swept wing VTOL fighters were dispatched.

Loads of ammunition hung under the steel wings, and the pilots of the Goblin Regiment were also ready.

The quiet sea is brewing with the sound of rolling tides, and invisible waves are churning up and down the sea.

The Great War is imminent!
