Chapter Fifty-Nine, from the Golden Age
"Can you believe it?"
Wu Jiarong didn't believe it.
Productivity comparable to the casting world? It's possible;
Can the standard of living be compared to the garden world? It is not without such examples.
But both?
That's a joke.
Garden World has a beautiful environment, abundant resources, and a superior quality of life, and is usually an administrative planet, or a commercial hub planet. As for the casting world, the environment is usually not much better, and the whole world will be a huge factory, in which countless people have to contribute sweat and even flesh and blood.
Can these two things be blended together?
How many such examples can be found among the countless stars in the entire empire's borders?
Can Holy Terra, the capital of the Empire, live up to the Governor's mouth?
I don't know.
Listen to the propaganda, but she hasn't been there, she hasn't seen it with her own eyes, and she doesn't dare to believe it casually.
Even Holy Terra couldn't believe it could be what the Governor said it would be, let alone on this remote wasteland planet.
Rationally, she felt that the Governor was just talking nonsense and drawing a pie.
The pie, it was big and round, but it was ridiculously distant and illusory.
But emotionally, she could feel Governor Gu's lofty ambitions.
Of course, ambition can't be eaten. She still had the ambition to be promoted to a mechanic, or even go up the ladder, to be promoted to a technical priest, but in the end, she didn't let people pay the imperial tax?
However, she felt that she could believe in Governor Gu's ambitions.
Believing that he has an ambition is not the same as believing that this ambition can be realized.
But just by believing in the Governor's ambitions, she was able to depict in her heart that her Governor should not be a person who only thinks about eating and waiting for death, only thinking about expropriation, and only thinking about paying the imperial taxes every two years, and then enjoying the rest of the time.
To do things under such a governor seems, like, probably...... Is it a good opportunity that I have never had in the past?
Ten years ago, she was in the casting world, thinking that she was talented and talented, but all she wanted was to be promoted to a mechanic; On the starship, the future is cut off, and all I want is to find a better man to marry and have a baby, and then eat and wait for death. One day you will be able to retire when you are too old, but it is also very likely that before then, the 'Quintet' will be destroyed in a certain war, and all the people on board will become another part of the space junk.
Following a Governor and becoming the most important technician under the Governor's command, her future achievements may not be that of a mere mechanic or a mechanical priest. Perhaps, she will have a chance to become a mechanical bishop, or even ......
She didn't dare to think about it any further, it was too difficult to be promoted to a sage. Isn't that as illusory as the Governor's fantasy that the Raging Owl can become a combination of the Casting World and the Garden World?
It's all far away, but it's not that far away.
Indeed, the Governor is now poor and white, and the population under his direct control has not even exceeded 10,000, and even the Governor's executive power cannot be extended to the whole world. But then again, if the current governor is in power, can he still look at himself as a small technical commissioner? I'm afraid that I can't just recruit a bunch of more advanced experts casually.
It is now, when the family is started, that there is an opportunity to send charcoal in the snow, and there is an opportunity to grow as the governor continues to take power.
What's more, the Governor still has a black box maker in his hands......
The value of this thing is incomparably precious.
Legend has it that they come from a distant golden age, when empires were not yet established and were almost impossible to verify. It is said that at that time, human beings were the masters of the entire universe, and it did not matter if every human being had dignity, could enjoy the best life, and could engage in any kind of industry according to their own interests, or not work at all.
The black box manufacturing machine is a product of that era to ensure that human beings can easily and quickly obtain products in any environment. As long as the interstellar colonists have a black box, they can quickly establish a suitable home on a new barren planet.
It is precisely by relying on the black box that human beings can spread their footprints throughout the universe in the golden age, and maintain the same level of technology in each world.
In this day and age, the technology of the Empire is completely different from the Golden Age.
Scientific research depends on archaeology, this sentence is not a joke.
A subject that can't be solved in a hundred years of research in the casting world, maybe one day you find an ancient ruin, and get a little hint from it, and solve the problem.
In fact, many of the technologies that are now widely used in the empire are reconstructed by archaeology, and the level is less than one percent of the golden age. The precious Titan armor may have been just some kind of vehicle piloted by a lumberjack during the Golden Age.
And this kind of thing like a black box making machine is even more archaeological...... Well, I mean the top priority of scientific work.
This thing can be directly produced into a finished product, and it also has a high research value.
Although the three black boxes that are suspected to have appeared in Governor Gu's hands at present, the things produced are all things that have long been rotten in the empire, and they have no value in themselves. After all, what normal point of the world can't produce rifles, alloy plastic steel, stone engines?
However, it is the black box itself that is very valuable.
The product isn't that important, but the Black Box itself contains technology from the Golden Age is enough to drive the Church of the Machines crazy.
……
Gu Hang listened carefully to Wu Jiarong as he introduced these situations to him.
Some he knew from memory, some he didn't.
These messages are important, but relatively not.
According to Wu Jiarong, he basically broke off the idea of selling black box machines. In fact, it's not that it can't be sold at all, and it takes a lot of effort for people to grab it, and it is not a more labor-saving way to buy it for some money.
However, Gu Hang won't sell it.
It's too dangerous.
Compared to the Mechanical, which is extremely powerful throughout the empire, he is a small governor, and he is nothing.
What's more dangerous is that if he sells a few, then the Church of the Mechanics won't be staring at him? Interested in getting more? Or do you want to know how he got his hands on the precious black box?
As for the unimportant point, it is that the angry star is too remote and inconspicuous. It's hard to get to the ears of the Mechanists what is happening here.
At present, the entire interstellar communication of the Angry Owl is only with the quintet. If you don't leak the news to the sky, this matter will be gone.
What's more, it is impossible for Gu Hang to abandon his roots, and he has a black box in his hand and does not use it.
He was careful before, but it was inevitable that some of it would be revealed, and as long as he used it, he couldn't do anything.
In the future, he will be more careful.
At the same time, he also needs someone to help.
Gu Hang looked at Wu Jiarong with expectations.
