Soul of Burning Steel

Joshua stared at this era.

With the opening of the Stargate connecting the Lost Galaxy and the Starting Galaxy to the general public; as the time-space hubs of the Myriad Realms Sacrificial Fields are laid in various places in the multi-dimensional galaxy; with the popularization of extraordinary knowledge, the national literacy rate has leapt in the past twelve years The improvement of the world - more and more people are determined to participate in the "Galaxy Expedition" and this fascinating era of great development.

First of all, there are many farmers. With the disappearance of the Central Black Forest and the eradication of the erosion caused by the evil god of abundance, the fertile land that occupies nearly half of the entire Mycroft Continent just appeared out of thin air. In the big operation of eradicating the black forest with them, the ashes were wiped out and turned into fertilizer. Such a super-large farm, under the joint management and reclamation of the two legendary monsters and the assistant of the natural teacher, the monster "Furry" from the sky, turned into enough to supply tens of billions of farms. Human scale super granary.

This has led to the extreme "abundance" of basic resources in the world, and this overly prosperous agricultural development has almost led to the subsequent "decline"-the large number of farmers accounting for more than half of the total population can be said to be a direct cause. Energy armor, under the industrialization of agricultural magic energy brought by large-scale magic energy machinery, only 1% of the total population of farmers can feed more than 10,000 times the population. In this way, 99% More than a billion farmers lost their vocation in this way.

However, it is also because of the development of industrialization that the entire civilized machine is running at full power - under the technological leap brought about by the integrated information base, countless factories and enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Educated employees also need a large number of basic population to be trained as workers. These may be the manufacture of light industrial consumer goods, or the suppliers of heavy industrial raw materials, or the super factories that manufacture large ships such as void battleships. All of them are in urgent need of human resources, and these farmers who have lost their jobs are just right.

An industrialized civilization must crush the old small-scale peasant system. Centralized and orderly agricultural management can feed as many people as possible with as few people as possible, and the surplus, the former agricultural population, can become The first cornerstone of industrialization.

In this process, there should have been countless stories of blood and tears staged, but the world where extraordinary people live does not need to make any sense at all. Under the mandatory deployment of legendary strong men, the seven gods are directly placed under the arrangement of the priests, and even the seven gods come directly. , coordinating every detail of this great evolution, almost without any cost, during the days when the expeditionary fleet was galloping towards the multi-dimensional galaxy, the transformation of civilization was completed.

The current Mycroft Continent is a huge industrial world composed of the four major coastal industrial circles and the central agricultural area. The Xishan area, which used to be quiet and peaceful, and famous for its ancient elegance, has completely become a heavy industrial area. Under the auspices of Emperor Roman , The underground dark world has also become an energy base for using magma energy, and the dark elves and gray dwarves who adapt to the high temperature and dark environment are the best workers.

The area where the Northern Empire was once located has become a battleship production base and the largest military factory because of the existence of the Banerte Plateau and the 'Void Babel', while the Far South area is where various light industries and processing industries are located. As for the eastern plain, there is a production base for spare parts and high-precision equipment, the world's largest extraordinary laboratory, and the "Garden of Truth" under the jurisdiction of the Guantian White Tower is located on the banks of the Cerny River in the middle of the plain.

From the sky, the whole world has almost completely changed its appearance. The earth, which could not see light at night, is now full of lights that never go out.

This is the glory of civilization.

However, even a complete industrial system of void civilization cannot completely eat up all the surplus population. The technology that has been spurred by the integrated large information base has greatly reduced the number of executive population required by each factory and enterprise. This is a good thing in the first place. , but for Mrs. McCrom, who was temporarily unable to expand, it was a major event that caused tens of millions of people to lose their jobs.

In this regard, the Mycroft coalition government can only issue a "Development Order" to open stargate exchanges, open the authority of small private void battleships, open the colonial rights of unowned worlds, the right to name, and the right to develop, and open a long-term deal for the two worlds. The five-year complete tax exemption bill—the arrival of countless preferential policies that can only be said to be free, immediately attracted countless speculators... or so-called, adventurers.

All of a sudden, 'plane merchants', 'galaxy trading caravans' and 'private colonists' emerged one after another, and began to spread in the Jetrum star field and various time-space hubs located in other galaxies.

Adventurers, speculators, colonial groups, void merchants, and a large number of sub-service providers serving these large teams, the transfer stations quickly spread across a large number of star fields-of course, most people are unwilling to go to other worlds Adventure, but even a few decades ago, there were fewer adventurers, explorers and mercenaries in the Mycroft world? Those caravans, business groups, and pioneers across the Black Forest, did they disappear like this?

Of course not, they changed their name, changed their equipment, changed from a ground dragon mount to a private exploration ship, from a simple gold and iron sword to a cracking ray gun, from thin cloth armor to one that can Use vindictiveness, magic power and energy shields driven by various extraordinary forces.

The productivity of the top layer pulls the middle layer, and the middle layer creates demand to pull the lower layer. The unreasonable extraordinary world can change everything from top to bottom—of course, someone must lead the way.

Joshua can see that these traveling merchants who think that trade across star fields are not much more dangerous than trade across the Black Forest are spreading towards the multi-dimensional galaxy under the name of Mycroft civilization. They have good and bad, or fair trade , or by force, or receiving courtesy, or being beheaded... Maybe, for a big man like him who can overturn the galaxy, this is just the aftermath, but this is indeed a magnificent era.

So, for these adventurers, what is their purpose?

Is it to open up the land that already knows the end?

Is it ascending to the sky where the border has long been known?

Is it going to the void that belonged to the glorious era in the past?

No, it's not, this is not the process of 'Starfall Mycroft' regaining the former territory and authority of 'Glorious Mycroft', this is a brand new civilization, with the help of the predecessors, gradually walking out of its own way Process - This is an era when adventurers set foot in unknown places and embark on new adventures.

And in this process, there will inevitably be countless outstanding people rising, and countless strong men will appear frequently. Joshua believes that if this era has passed in the past few decades, there will definitely be legendary strong men far exceeding the number in the past, making the stars fall. The era has gradually reached the glorious era of the former Glorious Era.

Similarly, behind such a glorious era, there are bound to be countless people who are behind it and lead it.

Joshua turned his perspective and looked at his relatives, friends and disciples.

He could see that No. 3 led Hotaru, Rin, Black and Light, and the members of the Lord's Mansion, as members of the 'World Reconstruction Project Team', taught construction experience to many departments with learning experience, and hundreds of thousands of people became everyone's apprentices , from the very beginning, master the details of climate modification and terrain modification.

Joshua can see that in Jetrum's void laboratory, the former member of the first team, Karin, the daughter of the knight, is conducting research on "destroying energy" with countless colleagues. For further "annihilation energyization", under the leadership of the legendary powerhouse Faina, hundreds of core researchers and tens of thousands of logistics personnel dedicated to serving this research institute are conducting experiments and The research, their purpose, is to completely solve the world-wide energy problems.

Joshua could see that the dwarf Nick, who was very interested in cooking, put his vision into all the materials of the multi-dimensional galaxy. He applied for research funds and summoned a large number of colleagues from the former Winterhold College, such as Professional explorers such as the safari Bell began the process of researching and numbering all the supernatural materials in the multi-dimensional galaxy. This process is no less than the process that the sages of the past tasted all kinds of vegetables in the barbaric era, and searched for truly useful herbs and extraordinary potions among countless poisons and weeds. Today, they have achieved a lot, many of which were once The potion material that was determined to be extinct has found a new substitute in another world.

Joshua can still see that the former hunter siblings have taken different paths in the past few years. The elder brother Ivan has become the founder of the third intelligent alchemy puppet laboratory in the empire. The work under the department, that is to say, directly belongs to the department led by Joshua and No. 3, and Ivan's job is to be responsible for researching and manufacturing various giant engineering equipment of the surface modification level. Among the modification equipment of Disc World, hundreds of Ninety percent of them are researched and developed by the team led by him. And the younger sister Amira is worthy of the name of a genius. She has broken through the ultimate soul and is now following Nostradamus. With this master of time and space, she travels through worlds, experiences the customs of countless civilizations, and prepares for the future. The legendary road to build the most solid foundation.

The dragon girl Lisa, the adventure group formed by the former Balrog Syndicate and No. 1, had already sailed far away. At the invitation of the ambassador of the Lund civilization, Gvass, they went directly to the Lund civilization and paid homage to the time when the warriors conquered the stars. They were invited to visit the remains of super void behemoths one after another - the Lund people are a race with strong adaptability. Even around the magnetar, they have built observatories, which rotate infinite magnetic fields. , the release of a giant magnetic field in units of astronomical units undoubtedly has a great trigger on Lisa and Syndicate, even the steel element No. Qi stepped through the window paper that was only one layer, broke through the threshold of the mid-level Jiyi, and formally entered the level of the strong.

In the end, Joshua's most special disciple, the former Seventh Prince of the Empire and the current Prince Alva of the Empire, was the only one who did not go to the multi-dimensional galaxy, but returned to the Mycroft Continent and the Hergamos Empire. People from the imperial capital.

Joshua could see that in the depths of the imperial capital, the Morlaix Palace, the former Second Prince, the current Emperor, the former Seventh Prince, and the current Prince, two men who had been secretly hostile to each other and hated each other were confronting each other. Confrontation, one is sitting on the throne, and the other is standing in front of the hall.

"How is it, brother, what does it feel like to be the emperor?"

"It's really terrible, brother, I understand how my father felt back then."

Emperor of the Empire, Dimore Diamond answered his brother's question in this way. He squinted his eyes, his tone was flat, and he even had a hint of self-mockery: "You can't take revenge, you can't do whatever you want, there is no battle, and there is no chance to make a move—the throne, The mediocre want to enjoy it, but the strong are bound by it."

Having said that, the handsome young man in the past, now this bearded, calm and majestic middle-aged man like an emperor slowly stood up from the throne. He looked down at his younger brother and said slowly: "Dad has been sitting in this position for decades? I finally understand why he feels like he is rushing to become a god and throwing the throne to me—an old guy who abandoned his duties."

"Father did not abandon his duties - he just jumped from a throne to a bigger god, and the people he needs to protect have changed from an empire to a civilization, and his responsibilities will only become heavier and heavier, making it even more frustrating. can not breath."

From the immature boy in the past to the resolute adult now, Alva's body slowly floated up, and he looked at his brother on the high platform as an equal, and said calmly: "And you can do whatever you want—you It is the emperor, you have the right to do so."

But those who greeted this sentence only laughed.

"ha."

Di Moore stared at Alva indifferently, he sneered and said, "Who do you think I am? Am I a tyrant? Alva, I am a human being in the final analysis, I know the responsibility and the meaning of protection - don't think it's just you Having learned what it means to be a hero and keep a promise, I swore to protect the Empire, just like my father, then I will never break my promise."

Alva raised his eyebrows, and Dimore slowly stepped down from the high platform where the throne was, causing him to slowly lower his height. During this process, the current emperor seemed to be talking to himself: "Many people say , the most important thing for a hero is to be responsible, responsible, do what he says, and never exceed the rules. Many people say that the most important thing for a wise king is to be wise and know people, not to interfere in state affairs with selfish desires, and never to violate his own set regulations."

"But I'm going to say, it's all fucking bullshit."

"Because the former is the foundation of being a good person, and the latter is also the foundation of being an emperor. They can't even do this, let alone heroes and wise kings. They can't even be considered the most basic 'good people'."

Di Moore came under the high platform, and Alva stood on the ground again. The emperor stretched out his hand, and a long sword with condensed fighting spirit appeared in his hand, and the prince also let out a breath, and his palm covered a A layer of translucent air armor.

"The most important thing for a hero is to have the strength to become a hero—and the most important thing for an emperor is the heart to lead the country forward."

It can be seen that Di Moore's eyes seemed to be burning with fire at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "What my father can do, I can also do, and what I can do in the future must be better than that old man who has become a god! "

An invisible aura spread from Dimore's body, and a strong energy fluctuation also appeared on Alva's body. The collision of the two auras caused a strong wind to blow up the entire palace hall, but this strong wind was limited to the body, not only did not The alarm was triggered, and even a maid who was cleaning around was not alarmed.

"Extreme guy, I haven't changed you for more than ten years."

Sensing that his elder brother is still stronger than himself, the corners of Alva's mouth curled up. He didn't know whether it was a sneer mocking his arrogant elder brother, or a pure strong man meeting the strong man's joy. He just clenched his fists and said in a low voice: : "So, is it time to start?"

"Let's finish it."

Di Moore said so, and then raised the long sword in his hand.

The fire ignited, burned the curtain, rippled suddenly, and distorted the light.

This court farce, which has lasted for more than ten years and stretched over two generations, is about to usher in its final curtain - no matter who wins or loses, both of them will abandon the past grievances and move towards the future era.

Joshua watched this scene—watched the battle between the new emperor and his brothers, he watched the strife that originated from the royal court struggle of the previous generation, he watched the ancient empire cut the last line with the past Joshua can see that in the void, the descendants of Israel are also flying in all directions. There are people who have failed in politics and have to go to another world and choose to open up a new world; there are also brothers who brought four fairies with him. , who traveled around the galaxy together; and even those who are regarded as goddesses by large groups of male technicians in the field of truth... Everyone has their own destiny, whether they are princes and princesses, or ordinary adventurers and businessmen, every day Everyone has their own journey.

In the end, Joshua turned his sights to the seemingly endless multi-dimensional galaxy.

There, there are seemingly endless civilizations, and endless worlds are surging.

The knowledge receivers are still wandering, looking for the inheritance that needs to be preserved; the galaxy of bloody battles has fallen into silence, but it is probably just the quiet night before the storm; and in the far end, there are still many civilizations fighting fiercely, they are robbing each other, hating each other, The evil group that devours the sky sweeps up the stars, and the peacekeeping group that uses violence to control violence never compromises.

For intelligent civilizations and intelligent life, war probably occupies the vast majority of history. Even if they have come to the void with almost infinite resources, this cycle of hatred that triggers evil gods will not stop. Hatred is chaining and resentment is piling up , in the silent ruins that no one knows, there is chaos accumulating, waiting for the birth of the future.

——All the stars in the sky, each going his own way.

The voice of darkness that will end everything is approaching.

The great tide of evil has already set off, and the gears of the era have long been in motion. In this sudden, but seemingly pre-determined era, the power of fate pushes the giant wheel of history forward. The stars rotated and rotated, flashing bright lights in the void, and time faithfully recorded the tracks that were all crushed out.

"...these are the worst of times."

As if smelling the rich blood, smelling the flames of war and gunpowder smoke, looking at the soldiers of the multi-dimensional galaxy, from the bottom of their hearts, they showed a calm smile: "It is also the best era."

He could see that the final strife was coming, the war to end wars, the destruction to destroy.

He could see that the originally bottomless darkness was lit up with a little light because of his existence.

He can see that he is a part of the stars in the heavens.

And very bright.

As it should be.

——Joshua never considered himself a savior.

He never fights to save.

But Joshua never denied that he was unhappy looking at the darkness, and wanted to light a bright flame in the incomparably dark haze of the multiverse.

It's not justice, it's not salvation, it's not some messy guardianship, it's just a human being, an intelligent life, a person born for war, and the personal grudge between a man behind the scenes who tries to control everything.

"It's almost time."

As Joshua said to himself, he was connected to the prayers and longings from the star world far away.

"Let's go."

The second change, 5,500 words, today's daily change of 40,000 words, ask for a monthly pass!

Those who said why Joshua didn't split the teleportation, have you forgotten that Joshua now has a group of civilized spirits in his body, a large stack of obelisks and silver goblins... He is already the world, cutting the world and teleporting it is too cruel right?
