Chapter 783 Respect and choice, the secrets buried in the past!
"You can make specific plans, but it's best to control the details, because it's only half an hour."
After listening to Feng Tianmin and Chen Shen enjoying themselves for a while, Su Mo was also quite fascinated.
Whether on earth or in the wasteland, geographical advantage is indeed the first factor for rise.
The territory of Yusanjia occupies the most luxurious location in the entire New World, and its development speed in recent years has far surpassed that of the territories below.
If Tianyuan Territory wants to catch up, it must have more geographical advantages and more superior geographical advantages.
Of course, there is a premise that everything must be hidden and hidden again, and must not be exposed before these geographical advantages are put to use.
Otherwise, the big tree will attract the wind. Even if the Dragon Banner Territory and the Tianyuan Territory are still in alliance, there is no guarantee that the other two will not take it by force.
"We naturally understand this. In fact, many such plans have been made in previous territories, but we just don't have the means to apply them. This time with this card, I have ordered a team of hundreds of people to study it intensively.
It only takes a week at most to finalize our specific renovation plan.”
"There are also some areas in the Northern Military Region that need to be improved. Our border with several major territories next to us is a plain. We usually have to send a large number of troops to defend, and our main force is restrained and dare not mobilize too many at once. Now
As long as the border is changed into a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack, our external combat effectiveness will definitely be doubled several times!"
Being in different positions, the two of them were thinking about different things, but they had the same caution on their faces.
The original Tianyuan territory was on the verge of death.
Even though Sumo's arrival in Baoyu County brought a slight opportunity for change, they did not expect changes to occur in a short period of time.
But now, just over a month has passed, and this card has disrupted all the planned steps.
Before the chaos completely breaks out in the New World, Tianyuan Territory may have to take the lead this time.
"It's okay. As long as we can successfully go to Xianjiang this time, we will be invincible." Chen Shen sighed softly: "Let's go, we will discuss the details at dinner tonight. I have to let them learn from you."
We strive to promote Baoyu County’s governance methods to every county and town in our territory.”
"In the past, transportation was inconvenient in various places, but with the connected rivers, Baoyu County will probably become a veritable port."
Continuing to talk about some details of the development, it was already approaching noon.
As a landlord, Sumo gave instructions and quickly arranged a sumptuous lunch at Wanyu Tea House.
After dinner, everyone had a long discussion and study session over several special herbal teas unique to the teahouse.
He didn't stop talking until it was getting dark.
Going outside the teahouse, after more than a month of renovation, the gangster street outside the teahouse has completely lost its previous decadent look.
Clean and tidy alleys and streets, with well-organized stalls and hawkers on the roadside.
With the smell of rice filling the air, and the children running and playing in front of the courtyards, Baoyu County is developing faster than imagined.
This old city, which was originally filled with a dead atmosphere, has undergone earth-shaking changes simply because of the change in the mentality of the humans living there.
When we arrived in the new city, the buildings that were rising from the ground and under construction overnight were even more ironclad evidence.
"They work overtime like this and only get the same salary as usual?"
Standing under a certain unfinished building that was under construction in full swing, Chen Yi looked surprised and couldn't understand why these people were so crazy.
Obviously the wages for every hour of work are exactly the same, so there is absolutely no reason to work so hard?
It’s not like they really can’t live anymore?
"Of course, County Magistrate Chen, not only are everyone's wages exactly the same in each period, but there is not much difference even in the same position." Zhang Min stood aside and bowed to explain: "According to the information we have compiled, now Baoyu
The average working hours per person in the county is about 14 hours. If we hadn’t explicitly restricted everyone to have at least 10 hours of rest time every day, maybe this number could have increased to 16!”
"14 hours, my God," Chen Kai exclaimed, which was the unified thought in the minds of other county and town managers present.
Could a small working hour system really have such great charm?
As far as the people's hearts and minds mobilized in Baoyu County are concerned, looking back on the past, it was only as crazy as the beginning of the wasteland year and the reconstruction of the wasteland four years ago.
The rest of the time, where can we see such a scene?
"In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that our conservatism in recent years has really suppressed too many people's hopes for the future. There is a reason for the return of enthusiasm after liberalization this time."
Others were visiting nearby and staying under the big trees on the roadside, but Chen Shen was obviously distracted.
Suddenly, as if he had decided something, he slowly said: "Youzong, you have done a good job, do you want me to give you more burdens?"
"Oh?" Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is this going to lose the bet between us in advance?"
"What bet?" Feng Tianmin on the side was a little curious when he heard about it for the first time, and asked quickly.
However, the next second, what happened was the two of them shook their heads in unison.
"I have read all the plans you listed in the letter, and also asked people from the think tank to make a risk prediction. The risk is not as high as imagined, but it is definitely not 100% safe. The New World is a place where small and medium-sized territories are concentrated.
It is the most chaotic place and the place where accidents are most likely to occur. The intertwined forces there are all spokespersons supported by various large territories. Problems that are usually difficult to solve will be concentrated here for fighting."
"Including our Tianyuan territory, we have actually established several branches in these places and provided a lot of economic and military assistance."
"If you go to a place like this to negotiate trade routes, you will first have to face the entanglement of these people. As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to mess with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. These people may not dare to disobey your decision in person, but afterwards
There is definitely a high possibility of betrayal, which will cause great trouble to our route. These factors must be considered in advance," Chen Shen quickly explained.
"I have anticipated these, don't worry, I have the means to deal with them," Sumo replied in a deep voice.
"That's good. You came from a small territory. I guess you can also imagine this." Chen Shen suddenly became serious: "But besides that, I have a few points that I must explain to you clearly."
"First, although the alien race is gone, the remaining alien races are absolutely impossible for us humans to eliminate. Their fighting power may not be strong, but they definitely have special abilities that you can't imagine. In this way, I will ask someone to demonstrate it to others.
You will understand”
After Chen Shen finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and a short man walked out of the seemingly deserted grass next to him.
Judging from his height, he was only about eighty centimeters, with a look of alertness and confidence on his face.
"Ke Zhe, show County Magistrate Su your special abilities."
"Okay." The dwarf nodded, raised his arm and lightly touched the elbow socket.
The next second, something magical happened.
Originally, the short body of Ke Zhe was illusory for a while, but after it solidified, he turned into a normal person.
Moreover, his face also changed into a face that was indistinguishable from Chen Shen.
"This is the unique ability of a foreign race stationed near our territory. We call them the Demon Soul Race. They have all kinds of strange transformation abilities and can transform into various different creatures at will. According to our
According to research, certain human physiques can also achieve the effect of transformation. Although it cannot be as good as the seventy-two transformations, it can be the same as now, enough to disguise itself into different human shapes and lurk."
"We once launched a war against the Demon Soul Clan. Although we won the victory, we still could not completely eliminate them."
"In addition, there are many special alien races like the Demon Soul Clan in the New World. The three types you need to be careful about most are the Demon Soul Clan who hate us to the core. The second is a race that can possess humans.
The parasitic alien race on the body, the ghost-backed insect race. The third is a special alien race that can influence the human mind and pry into the secrets of the human soul, the evil fox."
"We already have a lot of experience in preventing and treating the Turtle Zerg. Last time, Fenglong even tested the latest mobile field hospital. It can kill them in the body, but the Meihu."
"The charming fox should have been exterminated long ago, but you should know that her value determines her fate." Feng Tianmin on the side sighed: "Among the top thirty territories, there are only
There are only a few territories where no foxes are kept in captivity.”
"Except for the obvious difference between this alien race and humans in their tails, it is basically difficult to tell that they are aliens in appearance. The males in their race are all very brave and extremely masculine, while the females are shy and have an unusually graceful figure.
Coupled with the ability to spy on the minds of subordinates, they are the alien race that many great lords like to keep in captivity."
"Have we ever raised them in captivity?" Sumo blinked, a little curious.
"Of course not." Chen Shen subconsciously wanted to refuse, but in the end he said sheepishly: "We also kept this dangerous creature in captivity for a while during the lost period, but in the end we gave up on this dangerous creature."
"Lost period?" captured the key term, and this time Sumo was not going to let it go.
Different from his previous little transparent status, he now holds a level 5 card and is the manager of Baoyu County. His status is unusual.
Asking about these secrets again is not only not rash, but also natural.
"This is also the second point I want to tell you about this trip." Chen Shen immediately stopped talking nonsense.
He waved to Ke Zhe, who was standing next to him, and others lurking in the grass to observe martial law.
He took two faint steps back to completely distance himself from the crowd of visitors in front of him.
At this time, he slowly pulled out the words that had been prepared in his mind for a long time.
"Although you are unwilling to tell me about your relationship with Sumo, I can tell you clearly now that the lord of our Tianyuan Territory is none other than Mr. Sumo."
"It's just that you probably don't know that since the winter disaster in the Wasteland, the lord has disappeared."
A trace of recollection flashed in his eyes, and Chen Shen's tone became deeper and deeper: "When he disappeared in the Wasteland Year, we were not in a hurry, because the lord did not lose in that evenly matched battle, but drifted away under the threat of the enemy.
But then one month passed, two months passed, and when the winter disaster was completely over, we still didn't receive any news. It was like he had disappeared from the world, leaving no trace."
"Under such circumstances, we can no longer sit still and wait for death. Even if the heavy fog disaster comes, we will go into the mountains and start a long search despite the pressure. The difficulties and obstacles on the way will not be mentioned for the time being. According to the information we collected, we finally
Found the last remaining place of the lord.”
"That's a cave. The strange thing is that the person who led the master there couldn't remember the reason. We didn't find any clues in the cave." After taking a deep look at Sumo's face, Chen Shen couldn't see the expression on his face.
any psychological changes.
"Since the shelter left by the lord has not collapsed and the territory is running smoothly, we firmly believe that Lord Somo is not dead. He must be trapped somewhere, or temporarily lost somewhere in the New World for some reason.
So starting from the second year of Wasteland, our Tianyuan Territory has officially entered a long and painful period of loss."
"During the lost period, we made a lot of efforts. We worked hard to expand the territory from a few thousand people to tens of thousands. We withstood the fierce attacks of aliens time and time again. Our technology is making new progress every day.
, we have never given up the search for Lord Soma, we always believe that it is worth it, as long as we can find him, no matter how high the price is, it will be worth it!"
"Thus, we made our first big mistake, which almost destroyed our entire Tianyuan territory."
Having said this, Chen Shen stopped talking and looked at Feng Tianmin.
The latter nodded and took over the conversation and continued: "Before, the fishmen suddenly gathered their troops to besiege you. You must be surprised, right?"
"Is this related to that mistake?" Su Mo was slightly startled, and some speculation suddenly came into his mind.
"Yes, this deep-sea fishman tribe appeared on the eve of the disappearance of the lord. They claimed that Master Soma was their sea god, and the purpose of coming here was to receive the will of the god. So in the following one or two years of research,
By chance, we discovered that there seemed to be a subtle connection between the fish people and Lord Somo. And it was from this connection that the direction of territorial research at that time changed qualitatively."
"The two discoverers of the Kuanfeng Energy Stone are the technological cornerstones of our Tianyuan Territory. Starting from them, on the way to pursue the lord's path, everyone paranoidly believed that as long as they discovered the connection between the fish-men, they could develop a corresponding
A means of remote communication. This method ignores distance and is similar to quantum communication. It can save us countless efforts."
"At that time, the deep-sea fishmen were not as violent as they are now. At that time, they were still the main combat force and the main labor force in our Tianyuan territory. Every fishman was developing the territory wholeheartedly and looking forward to the return of the lord. This plan was proposed
Finally, Chen Shen, myself, Feng Long and many people you have met during this period all voted against it, but unfortunately more people voted in favor, accounting for 70% of the votes."
"So, a secret hunting plan for the fishmen began."
As if he didn't want to recall the dark past that attacked his own people, a trace of pain flashed across Feng Tianmin's face.
"We studied and imitated a special building left by the lord, and created a special device with a sacrificial function. As long as creatures are put into it and burned, the so-called "bond factor" can be extracted in a targeted manner for communication. Just now
At first, everyone was optimistic that we only needed to invest up to a thousand murlocs to meet this base. But as time went by, even if we had sacrificed a third of the murlocs overtly or covertly, it would be close to 50,000 people.
This bonding factor is still not in place.”
"Finally, this hunt was discovered by the high priest of the deep-sea fish people. A fatal crisis of trust suddenly broke out, almost putting everyone in the territory in danger. No one knew whether he would be thrown into it next.
Extract this factor"
"But it was also that night, in order to prove that I had no selfish motives, in front of tens of thousands of murlocs and tens of thousands of humans."
"K" Lu Kuan among the inventors of the "KF energy stone" was the first to walk into the furnace calmly, "F" Ai Jianfeng was the second, former Commander Li Hu of the Eastern Military Region was the third, and Feng "F" the Southern Military Region
Commander Mengyue is the fourth one."
"That night, almost all the people who voted in favor walked in. It was just like this that the fish agreed to withdraw their troops, and this crisis of trust was lifted. But only like this, it is far from enough for the relationship between us to return to the past.
Now, the contact between the fishmen and us has begun to decrease day by day, and they have chosen to use their own methods to find the lord. The reason why they attacked you last time may be that they used the fetter factors they extracted to get some kind of answer."
"So, the reason why many people in our territory have forgotten this period of history is this." Sumo suddenly said: "Charming fox?"
"Yes, this mistake has little to do with ordinary people. It only needs to be remembered by those of us who were supposed to enter the furnace together." Chen Shen nodded decisively and answered without a trace of hesitation.
"But at that time, there were many people who did not choose to forget. They could not accept this bleak result. They chose to leave the Tianyuan Territory and set up their own business. They also began to search for Lord Somo in their own way. And it is these people who are the three major territories today.
The biggest reason to always be polite to our Tianyuan Territory."
"Guess who they are?"
"Can the three major territories be feared?" Sumo was slightly stunned, and then a term that he had never thought of before flashed in his mind: "The branch that will be separated will not be the current Adventurers Alliance, right?"
