Chapter 232 The wonder of the ancient city of Petra!
"We are indeed utilitarian in helping the wild boar people resist oppression.
But we must realize one thing, that is, there are no super-utilitarian things in this world.
Doing something will ultimately benefit some people and harm some people's interests.
As long as you correctly understand utilitarianism, it can help you make correct judgments.
Because the Hanhai Protector has made a profit in helping the wild boars, you are wary of us, and may not trust us. This is wrong.
We are harming the interests of the colonizers, the Kalimdor borers, but allowing more unfree beings to gain benefits.
I hope you can know that the core purpose of the Hanhai Protector is always to make civilization more prosperous and free life from its constraints."
Kalga may never forget what Li De said after he forgave their behavior in front of everyone.
But she could clearly feel that after Li De finished speaking, the breath of Agamaggan that existed in the wilderness was a little more joyful!
Li De's words not only moved him, but also moved Agamagan!
This made Calgar's respect for Lid rise to another level. As a priest who teaches the wild boars, she is eager to know what gives Lid a noble soul that can impress the gods.
In this way, Calgar finally joined the Light of Civilization in Stonehenge under the introduction of Li De.
Enlightened by the light of civilization, Calgar suddenly realized how tragic it was for the wild boar people to fight among themselves for thousands of years.
This race has been wasting away like this for thousands of years, making no progress at all and seeing no future at all.
After realizing this, Calga decided to immediately return to the Barrens. With the right path, she couldn't wait to devote herself to the cause of saving the quilboar.
However, Li De did not let them leave like this. After all, before the wild boar team was trained and formed, just the two of them returning to the Barrens would not be able to change the overall situation immediately.
Li De invited two wild boar heroes, as well as Shandris Feathermoon and many others to witness the birth of a new wonder!
…
1. Mausoleum of King Mausolus (Classical): Productivity 400,000 points.
Construction terrain: Coastal land (near the port).
Wonder effect: The overall defense of the coastline of the area with this wonder is increased by 10%; it can promote cultural development (a cultural master can be born); it can randomly make a production professional under the leader become a grand master.
(Note: The civilization you are in has officially published defensive military works, and the cost of productivity is reduced by 20%)
2. Great Library (classical): Productivity 400,000 points. (Libraries adjacent to the plain: improve technological development, other players recruit Dake, and randomly improve technology) Historical records
Construction terrain: plain (adjacent to the library).
Wonder effect: Increase the speed of scientific and technological development of the civilization where it is located; can include the research results of great scientists from the civilization that has established diplomatic relations.
(Note: The civilization you are in has a formally published general history masterpiece, and the cost of productivity is reduced by 25%)
3. Ancient City of Petra (Classical): Productivity 400,000 points.
Build terrain: Desert plain or desert floodplain.
Wonder effect: The geological environment of the area where this wonder is built will be improved (gold reserves increase by 20%, the soil becomes arable for drought-resistant crops, and urban productivity increases by 10%!)
(Note: The civilization you are in has a college of advanced mathematics, and the cost of productivity is reduced by 10%)
Construction terrain: required to be close to the river.
Wonderful effect: The food production of [all settlements] under the leader is increased by 15%, and the abilities of all heroes under the leader are increased by 10% (including the leader).
(Note: If the leader owns a grain-producing farm, cost productivity will be reduced by 30%)
…
The above are the four wonders that have been refreshed this time. Let’s not talk about the “old acquaintance” Hanging Garden. Among the wonders of the classical period, there are two new faces.
One is the "Mausoleum of King Mausolus" and the other is the "Great Library". What particularly attracted Li De's attention was that the lowering of construction conditions for these two wonders was all related to the publication of civilized books.
It seems that when civilization develops to a certain level, attaching importance to culture is a necessary stage.
Azeroth is a magical world. There are both the goblins, a civilization with a weak physique, but highly developed technology and commerce, and the human race, a civilization with a rather backward political system, but highly developed art, philosophy, and ideology.
There is also a civilization like the vast trolls, whose social system and technology are extremely primitive, but have strong survivability.
Not to mention, civilizations like the Kaldorei, Quel'dorei, and Zandalari, which are like kingdoms of gods that came out of myths.
In such a world, various civilizational development routes are crowded together in a wonderful way.
The clear, single-threaded, iterative and progressive civilization narrative is destined to be inapplicable to this world.
What Li De can do is to firmly follow his own path in this magnificent world.
The spectacle this time is no small matter. The productivity of hundreds of thousands is definitely not comparable to the previous three wonders.
And what is completely different from before is that this time there is no need for Li De to tell everyone: Dao Dao has once again given a revelation.
When a civilization has gathered a consensus and established an imaginary community, almost all the people in the Hanhai Protectorate felt that there was a mysterious force waiting for them to awaken in the deep sand plain!
The people in the two cities and one port of Tanaris were suddenly drawn to the depths of the desert.
For example, Haggard, who is in charge of civil affairs, and Niebuhr, who is in charge of military affairs, both stick to their posts. I hope that the road will still favor the Hanhai Protector this time.
The road from Gadgetzan to the deep sandy plains was surprisingly calm. The monitor lizards, hyenas and scorpions that usually roamed the desert seemed to have all escaped, making it impossible to see them.
figure.
We walked to the very center of the deep sand plain, where we could see some ruins half hidden in the dunes.
They belong to the former sand trolls. In ancient times, the sand trolls were a branch of the jungle trolls in the Tanaris Desert, also known as the Falaki Province of the Gurubashi Empire.
Unfortunately, with the division of the continent and the deterioration of the environment, the entire Falaki Province also completely declined. The sand trolls retreated to the edge of the desert to guard the last Zul'Farrak.
Under the witness of everyone, Li De opened his hands and shouted towards the desert.
“The ancient glory will eventually fall, and the great pioneers will also reach their final chapter, but life always has the power to penetrate time.
After all, we shine under the same sun, bathe in the same moonlight, and witness history together, as well as the rose-red wall."
Kel'Thuzad, who was among the spectators, was shocked to find that just after Li De recited this short poem, the arcane energy in the world was actually gathering at Li De's feet!
At the same time, Nozdormu, who was "guarding" the flow of time in the Cave of Time, also felt a power that was close to the law of time.
This force made the Bronze Dragon King, who was lying lazily, raise his head in surprise, but after sensing it, he shook his head helplessly.
"It's Lid Wickley who made the noise again. He always bothers me every once in a while...
Forget it, go to sleep.
If there is trouble, this guy will definitely find a way to solve it. Compared with other people with problems, he is much more responsible..."
Nozdormu lowered his head again in thought, and the movement felt in the deep sand plain, or to be precise in the entire Tanaris, was not ordinary!
Almost the entire Tanaris Desert was trembling. Although the intensity was very small, it was indeed an earthquake sweeping across the entire Tanaris Desert!
And as the desert trembled, people clearly discovered that the sand under their feet had actually become a little wetter?!
Birgwitz, who was also among the spectators, was so excited that he almost fainted when he saw this scene.
"I knew it! The reserves of groundwater under this desert are quite amazing! There is at least enough for us to use for a hundred years! A hundred years!"
Bigwitz, the great engineer, did his most remarkable research at the time, which was to use water-detecting rods to find water sources in the desert.
But what he didn't know was that in addition to the rise in the groundwater level, which would make it easier for people to collect water in the future, there were also bigger changes in the desert!
While the natural environment of the Tanaris Desert was changing with tremors, a rose-colored rock mountain slowly rose from the sand dunes!
The troll ruins that were half hidden in the sand dunes have also become part of this rocky mountain.
What shocked everyone even more was that the front of the rocky mountain seemed to have been split into a flat section by a Titan!
And embedded in this flat rock wall section is a beautiful ancient city!
The classical wonder, the ancient city of Petra, appears in the world of Azeroth!
