Arknights is too real, right?

After bidding farewell to Baiye Town, Xia Feng and Ying Wuyun got into the same carriage and drove to Dongzhou Mansion.

The so-called Dongzhou Mansion does not refer to a specific mansion, but the capital of the entire Dongzhou, that is, a city.

Judging from the entire Dongzhou map, Dongzhou Prefecture is located close to the East China Sea and is considered the hinterland. The Dongzhou area faces Shenye Bay to the north and is connected to Nishikawa to the west. It is of great strategic significance to locate the capital in the hinterland.

Before meeting Ying Wuyun, Xia Feng had been in Dongguo for some time, and during this period he also had a certain understanding of this island country.

As he expected in advance, Dongguo will also encounter natural disasters and there will also be infected people. However, compared with other countries in the world, the infected people in Dongguo are not extremely discriminated against.

In fact, there is nothing surprising about this. If you observe this land carefully, you will get the answer immediately.

After a person is infected with mineral disease, the body's organs will slowly fail, but at the same time, more or less Origin Stone skills will be awakened.

Because of frequent wars and chaotic social order, the population of the Eastern Kingdom is extremely mobile.

To put it simply, in a hard-working life with today and no tomorrow, who would care about a chronic infectious disease in which organs are gradually failing and there is a chance of gaining "strength"?

Compared with some vicious plagues caused by war, ore disease is really not too scary.

This is the difference reflected in the degree of civilization development and has nothing to do with race.

Just like Victoria, Sami, Colombia and other big countries, because the country's economy is developed, the living standards of residents are generally high. At the same time, a complete political and legal system can protect their personal safety, life and property safety.

In this case, people no longer need to think about survival. Of course, the value of their own lives is higher.

Famine, severe cold, war, and thieves, when these things that can threaten survival no longer exist, the problem of infected people will be infinitely magnified.

Because this is the only thing that will harm the interests of ordinary people.

In contrast, Dongguo, which is extremely closed, is more pure in its treatment of infected people.

If you are unfortunately infected with mineral disease, the infected person will not be expelled. Even if you don't tell, almost no one will know until the Originium crystals appear on the body.

There is no universal medical test for mineral sickness here, and neighbors will not suspect you are infected just because you have a sallow complexion and thin skin.

Compared with infected people, people are more afraid of war, more afraid of the strong men in their families being forcibly recruited into the army, and more afraid of the head of the family forcibly taking away all the food for the winter.

On the way to Dongzhou Mansion, Xia Feng saw many villages along the way.

It is midsummer now, which is also the golden period for the growth of grains. Looking at the farmland bathed in the sunset is quite unique.

However, there are always times when you feel tired while admiring the scenery.

Judging from the distance, Xia Feng felt that it was only about the same distance from Happy City to Yehua City in Victoria, but this broken carriage traveled for several days.

During this period, Xia Feng and Ying Wuyun changed from respectful friends to good friends who talked about everything.

There was no way, after all, there were only two people in the carriage, and it would be too embarrassing if they didn't say anything.

In order to pass the time, the two chatted about martial arts, mathematics, and the sunset about the universe.

Although Ying Wuyun seemed to be a shrewd person, his knowledge was too narrow. Faced with the novel things Xia Feng said, he was stunned for a while.

Because the Eastern Kingdom is extremely closed, trade interactions with overseas countries are basically at a standstill. Of course, the Originium technology here is very backward. This can be seen from the fact that the eldest son of the Sakurawu family takes a carriage when traveling.

Listening to Xia Feng talking about these high-end products, Ying Wuyun murmured.

"A steel plant with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of tons. A huge freighter powered by Originium. Moving. Moving cities?"

Xia Feng was slightly surprised.

"Brother Yun, have you never heard of mobile cities?"

"I heard that the family owner received businessmen from Longmen a few years ago, but I thought they were bragging about the mobile city, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Seeing Ying Wuyun's appearance, Xia Feng seemed to have seen his own childhood. When he thought that the Little Overlord game console was the most fun thing in the world, he suddenly heard that a neighbor's child was trying it in the Internet cafe run by his uncle. Counter-terrorism CS.

It turns out that characters can not only move in a plane, but also rotate in 3D.

What Sakurawu Yun thought was that it turned out that a huge city not only needs to be rooted in the earth, but also can move in the wilderness.

"Brother Yun, if you have a chance in the future, you can go see the outside world. Hey, there's actually nothing interesting to see. I think Dongzhou is pretty good. At least the air is good."

Ying Wuyun nodded somewhat disappointedly.

"Brothers En and Zhang, can you tell me something more about Originium technology?"

"sure."

The two of them chatted day and night. Except for the time when the horses were resting, they were almost always chatting about the stars and the sea.

During this period, Ying Wuyun also introduced many things about Dongzhou to Xia Feng, who was new to Dongguo.

Due to the closed information, the information on Nishikawa and Kanye Bay is not accurate, only Dongzhou is accurate.

According to Ying Wuyun, the entire Dongzhou has a population of close to 2 million, with 9 large towns, more than 50 towns, and countless villages.

According to Sakura Wuyun, Dongzhou is the most populous region. From this, it can be inferred that the combined population of the three states in Dongguo is only about 5 million.

This population was less than a quarter of Victoria's, but what Xia Feng didn't expect was that if the Yingwu family forced conscription, Dongzhou's population of 2 million could assemble close to 600,000 soldiers in a short period of time.

This is a very outrageous ratio of soldiers to civilians. In other words, as long as the head of the family is determined to fight, everyone in the territory must serve in the war.

Men, young and old, as long as they can handle a knife, must go to the battlefield.

Women and the sick and disabled must also do their best to provide military supplies, even if they starve to death.

Of course, the current permanent strength of the Sakurawu family in Dongzhou is only about 100,000, and apart from the small friction at the junction with Nishikawa, Dongzhou has not had large-scale wars for many years.

Ying Wuyun's explanation was very detailed, and he even helped Xia Feng analyze the current situation.

To sum it up, it is peaceful on the surface, but actually it is peaceful at all.

The Nishinomiya family that rules Nishikawa just changed its head this year. He is a young and energetic guy. I am afraid that the situation will change drastically this year.

To be honest, the "customs and customs" of Dongguo made Xia Feng feel very novel, and the situation of the Sakurawu family was more in line with the needs of those "ambitious people".

After all, value can only be reflected in difficulties, and war is the examination room where warriors are tested.

However, these things did not make Xia Feng feel nervous or excited. He could see that Ying Wuyun really admired him and regarded him as a brother who would fight side by side in the future.

It's a pity that he is destined to live up to Brother Yun's expectations.

identity?

status?

money?

Beauty?

If he really wanted these things, there was no need to leave Victoria and come to the distant and unfamiliar Eastern Kingdom.

What he really wanted was a reason to sleep peacefully in the dead of night.
