Chapter 450 Large-Scale Arrival

A few days later, Ramsay was a guest at the home of a Kasper friend in Dele Town. Although the Kaspers are a people on horseback, not everyone is good at being a warrior.When it came time to make a decision, the Kasper native chose to be a laborer of his own accord and is now a seasoned and beloved construction captain, married and settled in Dreux.When Ramsay or other Kaspers who settled in Dele Town moved with the army and fought, the residences of these bachelors were maintained by this kind-hearted elder brother and the townspeople.

"If you don't care about it, you don't even want to enter the door when you go home," he said with a laugh. "Plants grow very fast. It's completely different from the desert here."

"The fifth district is not short of water now," Ramsay said. "The crops in the irrigated areas are growing well, and cotton is grown in some places."

"I saw it in the newspaper. It really makes people want to see that scene. I only remember the sandstorm back then, but as soon as the dam is completed, I will take a long vacation and take them back. It won't take long..."

While they were chatting, the friend's one-year-old waddled out of the living room, came up to Ramsay, grabbed his pants with small but strong fingers, looked up with bright brown eyes He, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Ramsay could only understand the meaning of "hug the baby", so he bent down and picked her up.

Babies are cute sometimes, Ramsay thought, as she sat in his arms.

They chatted for a while, and most of the topics revolved around their respective experiences. No matter the engineering construction this friend had participated in or the many battles that Ramsay had experienced, they were all things that they were interested in each other. Ramsay pulled into the study, fetched the project booklet and unfolded it on the table, and while he was explaining to him enthusiastically, the child in Ramsay's arms sucked his fingers, his big eyes reflected the blueprint, and he didn't show any signs of impatience. movement.

Ramsay looked at her round face.

"She's so sweet," he said.

A proud and satisfied smile appeared on his father's face. "I think she's going to be very talented in the future."

"Hahahaha." Ramsay let out a hearty laugh reserved for unmarried young men.

Evening came unknowingly during the pleasant conversation, the sleeping child was sent back to the bedroom by his father, the sun was setting, the street reflected by the sky still looked bright, the twilight in the room was a little drowsy, and the smell of the food accompanied the The evening wind blew in, and the voice of a friend's wife came from the living room, asking him to bring a new pack of candles.So this friend opened the drawer and searched for candles. When Ramsay, who was sitting by the desk, raised his head because of some wonderful premonition, almost at the same time, a light voice sounded in their minds or in reality. The sound came from outside the window, and the two looked out together.

The street lights outside the window came on.

Under the deep blue sky, the golden lights reflected the white walls, green trees, and the faces of people who were surprised and then turned into ecstasy.

The friend's wife came from the living room to the study with a patter, and she looked out with wide eyes.

"Power on!" she exclaimed joyfully.

The same shout of joy was carried from one end of the street to the other.

"Power on!"

"The dam is generating electricity!"

"The area has electricity!"

The whole town is filled with a warmer atmosphere than festivals. As an important material transfer place for the dam project, one-third of the townspeople have participated in the construction. The residents of Dele town know more about this than ordinary citizens in the central and western districts. This project, they can even proudly say that they participated in its construction throughout the entire process, not only knowing that its completion is not easy, but also knowing that this is a miracle that only the Alliance can plan and realize.It will work, there's no question about it, but when the moment does come, incredible excitement and seething pride fills their hearts.

Not just a Deloitte town, but the entire Midwest, and even the Fifth District will enter a new era!

If even the witnesses of the dam from its inception to its completion could not contain the excitement after it was completed, for those on the top of the dam at this moment, as they watched the intake gates open, the seemingly tamed The water flow spirals into the water inlet, restores its unruly nature in the steeply inclined water channel, rumbles towards the huge metal blades, and then the turbine turns, and the current is generated. Although the invisible energy cannot be seen, one can see the huge spectacle it creates ——From the depths of the mountains to the banks of the lake, countless bright lights lit up in the field of vision one by one, the melancholy twilight dissipated like ice and snow in an instant, and the water waves were misty, as if there were subtle and grand vibrations transmitted from the thick artificial rocks to the lake. The soles of the feet make people's blood vessels beat violently along with the heart.

The bright avenue stretched to both ends of the line of sight. Many people rushed to the road from the dormitories on the construction site, hugged and cheered under the illumination of the street lamps, faint singing and drum music came, people held hands, and even began to dance.

How can people not be deeply moved by this scene?

The witnesses on the top of the dam took a deep breath, not even knowing how to properly verbalize their feelings.

"My God, my God, my God..." a prince murmured incoherently, "this is a miracle!"

"This is a miracle!" Another royal shouted, "A miracle done by human power!"

"Oh my god, I can't stand anymore, my feet are like standing on clouds, and my head is so dizzy..." A noblewoman supported her head and said, "This is something that mortals like us can see. Did you arrive?"

"Yes, yes!" said her partner excitedly, taking her arm. "This is what we're going to see! We're on the right track this time, and couldn't have been more right!"

Others also agreed.

"If we don't leave that square inch, we will never see such a spectacle!"

"Seeing is believing! Who could not be overwhelmed by such a miracle?"

After a chaotic admiration, this group of dozens of princes and nobles from the far north finally turned their faces to the companions they formed this time, and walked towards these alliance members who were as immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of them as they were before. The etiquette that I had only learned recently, I held the opponent's hands tightly.They said almost in unison:

"Don't think too much about it, we did join the alliance voluntarily, please let us join the alliance!"

The polite smile on the face of the receptionist almost couldn't be maintained for a moment.

These princes and nobles were neither prisoners of a certain war, nor did they travel to the Central and Western Regions just for the purpose of increasing their knowledge.Although there have indeed been quite a few tourists visiting the territory of the Alliance in recent years, this group of nobles were able to receive formal reception in the Central and Western District because they came from the first batch of countries that established diplomatic relations with the Alliance with equal and solemn etiquette. , and this is very rare in the history of the alliance's foreign exchanges.This situation may seem unbelievable. Since the establishment of the alliance, it has not established "normal relations" with any country. It is difficult to establish a so-called normal relationship.

As for the representatives of these extreme northern countries, on the day they contacted the relevant leaders in the central and western regions, they asked them how to peacefully merge into the industrial alliance.

Their frankness shocked the person in charge of the foreign affairs department, but it didn't seem to be the other side's whim. They were also willing to visit the fastest-growing Central and Western District of the alliance in person before making a final decision to see the reality of this area. Whether the situation is turning into a paradise on earth, as rumored.This group of visitors came from north to south, saw the situation of land reform in the north, and also saw the increasingly perfect regional water conservancy and road projects. The Tagore Dam was the last stop of their trip.

In order to show them the most authentic appearance, the local reception staff did not know the real purpose of these guests until the nobles from the extreme north returned to Xinmaxi City after their trip, and set off to return to the extreme northern countries. The report will be published in a few days, and many people still find it unbelievable.

"I thought the nobles were all the same. They overestimated the glory of their ancestors, the inheritance of history, and fiefdoms since ancient times..."

"The same food can feed a hundred kinds of people. Since there are such nobles, there will naturally be nobles like this."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, their vision is actually pretty good."

"Their choices were far-sighted."

"And their life in the extreme north is indeed difficult..."

After all, there are very few places with superior resource endowments like the Principality of Ridan. Kasuo Mountain, the remnant of the Julong Mountain System, serves as the boundary between the northern countries and the extreme northern countries. Before the northern countries merged into the central and western regions, the "north" Many people's minds are directly connected with barrenness and bitter cold, although this is not necessarily the case.But it is an undeniable fact that the farther north, the colder it is, the less suitable for human survival and development.Except for the capital and major cities of Lucia, which are located at or close to the middle of Central Continent, the territories of the other northern countries are roughly estimated to be the size of two fifth administrative districts, but their population is less than one-third of that of the fifth district, which has the same harsh environment. Second, a large land and a sparse population does not mean that each person can get more living resources, but it means that if the alliance has any intentions for them, they will not be able to resist.

Although the example of Ridan is right in front of us, it shows that as long as the different alliances are deliberately hostile, they may not be unable to continue to survive in the way they used to, but now even Ridan is not suitable as an example.There is no lack of nobles from the extreme northern countries who went to the more and more livable Principality of Zidan to spend the winter. As bystanders, they may be more aware of the extent to which this country has changed than the people of Zidan. Compared with the guild system created by merchants, yes.But even the most desperate for the future of Zidan cannot deny that their lives are indeed much better than they were in the days before the Alliance.

It is even much better than the nobles of the extreme northern countries.

It is true that people in the extreme north are proud of their strong physique and perseverance, but the average life expectancy, the same low birth rate, and the increasingly embarrassing living environment are all that the rulers of the extreme north have to face But it has never really been solved. When they heard that even the peasants in the alliance had a better life than the king in the extreme north, some people finally couldn't help joining the convoy between the two places and went to the alliance to verify it in person.

The positive spirit of this nobleman is of course commendable, and his travels went smoothly, but what he brought back made people feel complicated.

Rumors are rarely without exaggeration, but this time it was true.

In addition to not having a status that can be passed down from generation to generation, and even the land is not their own in name, the peasants of the alliance do live a good life, even better than the heaven after death that the religion says.Perhaps because no living person has ever seen the Paradise after death, the description of the Paradise beyond is always unclear in the Holy Scriptures, only saying that people will have no worries in that world and enjoy eternal bliss.But if bliss is not lacking in material things, then the life of the Alliance people has almost reached such a level: they have inexhaustible food and inexhaustible wine. There is no need to be afraid of being abandoned. A behemoth like the "Alliance" is like a mother with an infinite heart, embracing all members into her warm embrace.

Mother's embrace can easily make people lose their blood, but the alliance people obviously have such benefits, but they don't become shrinking slobs or lazy cowards.

The alliance is not only victorious in every battle, they are more courageous to fight. Many conflicts that others seem to be able to alleviate have become out of control because of their unwillingness to back down. People can't help but suspect that this is their original intention. Annexation is one of the proofs.However, what impressed the nobleman the most during his travels was that the Alliance people were addicted to their study and work just like ordinary people indulged in enjoyment.This is a scene that has never been seen anywhere else, not even imagined.

If the alliance is only rich, people envy the life of its members, but they want to control and possess; if the alliance is only powerful and violent, people can only fear and avoid it; but what the alliance shows to people is not only rich and powerful, What it shows is a path that has never existed before, but makes people want to believe that it is a path of hope.

If being annexed is an inevitable fate—why leave only this imperfect piece of the alliance's territory, then why don't they take the initiative?Isn't the example set by those kings and nobles who are still complaining about the closed farms not clear enough?

"Will something like this happen in the future?" someone asked.

"Maybe," replied the others. "Who doesn't want a better life? But resolutions aren't so easy to make."

Even if they have made up their minds, it will still take time from mutual inspections to an agreement process. Not all nobles in the extreme north are willing to give up their rights, and the alliance will handle this unprecedented situation with a prudent attitude.

Although in the eyes of many people—especially the people of the Principality of Ridan—the lands of the extreme northern countries are not of much value, the alliance only reluctantly accepts these poor ghosts because it "will not reject anyone who comes."However, the events of the extreme northern countries seemed to add a halo to Fan Tianlan, the supreme consul of the Central and Western Region. They believed that the reason why he set up another administrative center in the northern part of the Central and Western Region was precisely because he had foreseen such a situation.

In a sense... this conjecture is not wrong.The completion and commissioning of the Tagore Dam will undoubtedly further develop the New Mahi City and the Buber Plain. In contrast, the acquired disadvantages of the north must be made up for by administrative means.Fan Tianlan moved a new set of institutions to a small city in the former northern countries. The Liberator also tore down everything and rebuilt it, just like the original construction of the new Marsh City. Half a year later, the city gradually has a The framework that a central city should have.

Probably only those who have seen the entire map of the alliance can know why Fan Tianlan chose this place as the administrative center of the northern region.The map that Takla saw was more detailed. He spread the topographic map on the table, almost covering the table, and then walked around it.

"Railway." He said, the pen in his hand zigzags along the map from the red dot where the industrial city is located, until it stops at the city where they are located, "From here to here, you also 'see' the geological conditions ?”

He looked at Fan Tianlan.

The latter sits behind the desk and reviews the documents one by one.Five years have passed, and his handsomeness has become more and more dazzling. Perhaps it is because he has been in charge of the overall situation for a long time, and his temperament has become calmer than before. At least when he was walking with Yun Shen, he could no longer see the obvious age gap like before. up.

He said, "I see."

Five years on, his "talent"—for lack of a better term for this ability—has also clearly evolved.Three and a half years ago, he just went to the mouth of the Tagore River for a "walk", and when he came back, he wrote a survey report that shocked even Yun Shen. Even with the current technical level of the alliance, it is necessary to fully verify this The survey report is also almost impossible, especially the many geological data mentioned in it, "beyond the limits of observation technology", but the joint congress passed the plan of the Tagore Dam project, just as they passed the water of the fifth district. The same is true for web engineering programs.

The construction process fully corresponds to the data provided by the series of reports, and even the geological changes caused by the project are included in the relevant descriptions.

What level of information has he mastered in the material world now, and what is the scope of another application of this ability—an application that can deify him—to what extent and how deep can he enter? For those who know it, it has become a taboo that people are reluctant to explore.However, there is no doubt that the completion and stable operation of the Tagore Dam will allow his opinions to have an irreplaceable influence on the specific decisions of the alliance.

"When do you plan to start construction on this railway?" Takla asked again.

"The project plan is decided by the joint representative meeting." Fan Tianlan said.

"You must have written the plan." Takla said, "The geological prospecting team just 'walked around' for you."

Fan Tianlan was noncommittal.

"The next conference will be at least four months," Takla said, "will there be no problems in the future?"

Fan Tianlan looked at him.

Takla leaned against the edge of the table and faced him, holding a pen in his hand, pointing up with the tip of the pen.What he was referring to was not the highest organ of the alliance, nor was he referring to the magician. What he said "there will be problems in the future", nor did he mean that someone inside the alliance would obstruct this project, or that the ongoing work of the northern countries Joining will cause unknowable twists and turns, which will affect the progress of this project. The possibility of this railway plan being rejected by the joint representative meeting is very small in anyone's opinion.

Interference can only come from outside.

Coming from "above," high -- very high, quite possibly high enough not to be in the worldview portrayed in the league's textbooks.

Talented people have a keen perception different from ordinary people, which allows them to sense certain "abnormalities" in advance, which is why they always show special resentment.

The mutations that gifted people can feel are graded as well as their strength. Although Takla and Fan Tianlan can be called heterogeneous, even Takla behaves closer to an ordinary human being than Fan Tianlan, but he clearly remembers the events related to his birth. Therefore, his relevant columns on the internal archives have always been in a "doubtful" state.Since he could have a hunch, Takla didn't think Fan Tianlan had no reaction to it.

"You know they had a long conversation last time." He said to Fan Tianlan, he was talking about Melavia and Yun Shen.

Fan Tianlan said: "But there is nothing useful to talk about."

"You must know more than I do, and you know it earlier. Why did you build the dam first? According to the records of the last fissure event, there are probably various major earthquakes this time." Takla asked, "I don't think it's because You designed this project to withstand an earthquake of that magnitude. If the dam fails—you should know better than anyone what will happen.”

"It's because I know." Fan Tianlan said calmly.He stood up from his seat and took a few pencils. Takla stood up straight and watched him walk from one end of the long table to the other, picking up nine pencils one by one.

"What does that mean?" Takla asked.

"The point of action." Fan Tianlan said.

Although some things are tacit between different kinds and different kinds, but——Takla thought to himself, I am really grateful that you think highly of me.Do you talk to him like playing lantern riddles?

"What's the point?" he asked calmly.

Fan Tianlan said: "This will be a large-scale advent event, with nine anchor points corresponding to this world."

"Second Rift War?" Takla asked.

Fan Tianlan glanced at him.

The look clearly meant "what else?"

"That's what it means to come on a mass scale, right?" Takla said, and he asked, "How many people will die?"

"It depends." Fan Tianlan said.

"It depends on the situation?"

"If someone controls it, it will come down from the node channel; if no one controls it, it will fall from the sky with a high probability." Fan Tianlan said.

"It's easy to smash it down..." Takla looked at the map and muttered, and suddenly came back to his senses, "It's not just living things that fell down?"

"... Where's your brain?" Fan Tianlan said, "The other side is also an intelligent creature." Of course, he would not use flesh and blood as a throwing stone.

Takla was about to turn pale, "What? How to fight this?"
