Take Taobao with you to another world

The vision that gave all the mortals in Central Continent a strong spiritual stimulation finally came to an end, the earth still trembled, but it was only the aftermath, the terrifying stars in the sky had gone, but the huge beam of light that could not be hidden no matter whether it was in the clouds or on a sunny day, It reminds people all the time that the world can never return to normal.

The huge storm has almost completely changed the appearance of the area. Huge sand dunes are piled up on the outer edge of the central city of the fifth administrative district like solidified waves. Looking out from the central park covered by a layer of sand, you can vaguely see its undulating landscape. Curve, except for the school, the functional areas surrounding this beautiful park are all in great hustle. People in the living area are repairing houses and cleaning the streets. Workers work together to remove accumulated sand, maintain pipelines and repair damaged equipment.In this wide-ranging natural disaster, many villages in the region were buried or half-buried by sand dunes. As soon as the storm subsided, one after another team rushed out of the city with tools and supplies to the affected areas. Regions, their goals are very clear, and there is no doubt that the accurate instructions from their superiors allow them to find the most needy objects as quickly as possible.They are not worried about losing their way, and the space channel standing in the sand sea is the most eye-catching coordinate.

Among these teams rushing to the four directions, there is a cavalry team that goes in a different direction, going straight to the descent point deep in the desert.This team was small in number, but everyone was nimble and skilled in riding. They traveled left and right in the maze-like sand dunes, and kept moving towards the distant space passage. It took about a day for them to arrive at the foot of that space passage. .

The instrument they carried with them showed that it was not an illusion of the naked eye. In just one day when they moved forward, the diameter of this space channel had further expanded, and it was obvious that it would continue to grow.Because this spectacle is too huge, it is said that there is still a considerable distance between the feet, and they can no longer move forward. Not only the environmental changes that the body feels are warning, but also a newly formed black lake lies in front of them.

A straight beam of light stands between the sky and the earth. The huge black lake is like the blood gushing out from its pierced wound on the earth. Under the sunshine, the black lake has slight golden waves, and the wind does not belong to this place. The breath of the world, mixed with the stimulating and somewhat familiar smell from the lake, a knight turned over from the back of the camel, walked quickly to the lake, took out the container, filled it with viscous brown lake water, and the rest Humans set up their instruments and start recording data. After the recording is completed, they will retreat a certain distance and build a simple observation point outside the designated boundary before departure, just as others have done for the other seven space passages inside and outside the Industrial Alliance. like that.

The data is recorded on paper and transmitted upwards by barely usable radios outside the boundaries.The electric waves crossed the city where the rough wind was still blowing, across the mountains and the vast land, and gathered precious materials in that great city that was as pure as ice and snow and as strong as steel.This city is like a strong heart. Countless information is concentrated here, and countless instructions are issued from here, which promotes the stable and efficient operation of the huge machine of the Industrial Alliance.

With the close cooperation of various departments, the production that was suspended in response to the impact of the handover of the two worlds resumed in the shortest possible time.The tents in squares, parks and open fields disappeared completely, returning crowds poured into factories, machines started rumbling, boilers belched smoke; trains departed from stations; the miners carried shovels, wrenches, crowbars and other tools, used carts to push away the fallen stones, repaired the broken plank roads, pulled people on their shoulders, and straightened the crooked equipment. Back to the original place; the waves that have become gentle again beat the concrete seawall that has accumulated all kinds of debris and garbage, the scarred white boat is moored in the harbor spectacularly, the flexible maintenance personnel are tied to safety ropes to climb up and down, and the shipyard is huge. There are still traces of seawater invasion on the wall of the factory. The factory area is dry, with welding lights shining, and workers as tiny as ants are busy among the skeletons of various giants.

An airship that is about to be completed stops on the ground like a dark cloud, and workers are spraying numbers on its hard film shell. The huge shadow of the airship falls on the office not far away. In a half-open glass window, a black-haired man The handsome young man is drawing at his desk.

The metal nib flows smoothly in his hand, and he writes without hesitation. The map he draws is accurate in scale, without errors and omissions, and rich in information, which can be directly hung on the wall or sent to the Ministry of Resources for use.

If there were other people present, it would be easy to see that what Fan Tianlan drew was the distribution map of the seventeen space passages in the central and western parts of Central Continent.

A Sky Eye subsystem shrunk down to the size of a desktop is suspended in front of the desk, and he has authority over it second only to Yunshen, without zooming in, he can also see these extremely subtle image details, as if reflected in his The whole union in the conscious world is generally clear.As far as the currently observed phenomena and recorded data are concerned, these space passages are still in the process of development, and there is a strong rejection position from the outside that prevents people from approaching them with common sense. The interior is in an unstable state, and there is no biological After experiencing this, I came to the world of Central Continent.

No matter whether it is a tentative invasion or a formal invasion, at least it cannot start until the space channel becomes stable. This is the last preparation time left for the Central Continent world.

Fan Tianlan closed the pen, straightened his body, and pushed the drawn map aside, revealing the map of the world of Central Continent underneath. His eyes fell on the other half of the map that was not covered—depicting the eastern part of the Central Continent and the land connected to it. The half of the Far Eastern continent.

There are a total of 54 descent points, 33 in the Central Continent, and [-] in the Far East Continent. Three of the descent points landed on the sea. It is one of these three points that makes the buoy that is "returning" to the Industrial Alliance The empty city is "fixed" somewhere on the sea.

Although there is no evidence to prove it, there are reasons to suspect that this is an early arrangement.

The arrival point cannot be moved, the floating city is fixed in the West Sea, and the main battlefield of the Second Rift War is still in Central Continent.

But if there is a war, the Far Eastern Continent will theoretically bear greater pressure than Central Continent.

Fan Tianlan's eyes fell on the silhouette that was only half the size of Zhongzhou.

Where he was looking, the same was reflected in the eyes of the joint council of the United Kingdom.

The projection of another Tianyan subsystem landed on the huge conference table. The intuitive picture combined with information from all parties, mainly from the industrial alliance. With a basic understanding.After discussing and making decisions on the most urgent issues of disaster relief and war mobilization, they proceeded to the next topic, which was the current situation in Middle-earth after the restart of the rift.

Although there is no doubt that it has caused extremely large losses, as long as one understands the nature of the disaster caused by the opening of the space channel and the docking of the two worlds, the current situation of the Central Continent world cannot be said to be bad, at least it has the ability and willingness to bear The forces responsible for leading the Second Rift War all retained a majority or majority of their forces in the Scourge - in this case primarily the Industrial Federation and the United Kingdom.As for the Northern Empire and the Pope State, who are the representatives of the main forces in central Central Continent, it will take more time to wait for them to recover and reorganize. Their determination and perseverance also depends on whether they can let go of their prejudices and actively accept help and cooperation from other ideologically different regions.These are the situations that they can grasp for the time being.

In this war that concerns all mankind, even with the assistance of the Sky Eye system, it is not easy to understand, but what cannot be ignored is the existence of the Far East Continent and the black-haired monarch.To this day, even though the Elf Queen has established contact with the Far East Empire through more tortuous means, and the two sides have had some relatively friendly exchanges, this superficial friendship is not enough to reveal the secrets of the vast land. All kinds of mystery.A kind of conjecture believed by intuition of gifted people believes that Astaros, the monarch of the Far East, holds many mysteries about the other world. Therefore, when the rift restarts, people can see very clearly through the sky eye system. Before reaching the strait pass, the Far Eastern Empire had already made due preparations for the possible impact of the restart.

As an extremely successful monarch, there is no doubt about Astaros' ability to manage and control the Far Eastern Empire. People only worry about his position, and they cannot but worry about his position.

Although the more powerful the gifted person is, the easier it is to be eccentric, but from the only knowledge of him, people feel that this great king is not so much eccentric as he has a very disturbing "inhuman" temperament.

"Inhuman" does not mean madness. On the contrary, this powerful monarch always behaves rationally and calmly, and he never indulges; although he has unparalleled strength, he does not have any homicidal and cruel preferences ;He has not shown contempt or hatred for any race, and can even speculate from certain details that all beings are equal in his eyes.He never seemed to be less than perfect, and has been that way for over 100 years.

Although there are great differences in power, this kind of "perfection" can't help but make people think of the "magician" who founded the industrial alliance. Both have the characteristics of a middle-aged man, and both are extremely successful rulers, but they feel very different from each other.Even though it also lacks the obvious specialties of human nature, people can still feel the rational logic behind the various decisions of the "Sorcerer". All his actions are based on the interests of human beings, and his "inhumanity" is because he surpasses the inferiority of human beings.And Astaros—

He should not be human.

The Elf Queen said: "He doesn't hide it, he observes the human group from a different perspective. He is not of the same kind as us in essence."

Even if there is no evidence to support it, the speculation that this great monarch of the Far East is not only not human, but may also be a key figure from the other world has spread among the gifted group and some decision makers through the Shenguang Forest.If this conjecture is confirmed, then when alien races from the other world descend from the sky, will this monarch still regard the humans in the Far East as his subjects, or will he abandon them and return to his true identity on the other side, becoming a powerful threat to mankind? ?

Currently, no one can answer this question.Therefore, both the United Kingdom and the Northern Empire, which are located in the east of the Middle Continent, must bear the heavy pressure it brings.In such a severe period of drastic changes, we should not pay too much attention to etiquette, but should directly ask the other party's attitude towards the war.

When the envoys sent by the United Kingdom to the Far East Empire marched towards the pass in light clothes, in the middle of the Far East continent, seven equally spaced space passages provoked an infinitely high sky, and compared the capitals guarded by them as if they were natural. A small but exquisite model in the great temple, looking at this wonderful scene from the top of the holy capital, even Thunderbird, whose knowledge has surpassed most mortals, couldn't help feeling small, and sighed:

"If the human race that descends from here refuses to admit that you are still the king, and agrees to attack us together," he said, "would we be finished?"

Astaros said calmly, "Maybe."

"You won't let this kind of thing happen, right?" Thunderbird asked again, "After all, in terms of strength, there is no way anyone in this world is stronger than you, are they not that stupid?"

Astaros smiled, "Maybe."

Thunderbird discerned his expression for a moment, and after thinking about it, he took it as a kind of affirmation to him, then turned his head and looked into the distance with a little excitement, and after greeting Astaros, he changed back to his original shape, the huge The shadow hovered over the head of the Far Eastern monarch for a moment, then flapped its wings and flew towards the distant Tianzhu.

Astaros had been leaning against the railing until Bristol returned home, and the silent attendants came up from behind to redress the Thunderbird, whose dark blue hair was flying in the wind, happily Ask Astaros: "The smell of each tunnel is different. It's a wonderful world over there."

Astaros smiled.

The wind on the top of the mountain is always strong, Thunderbird turned his face to the front, "The wind is blowing." The direction of the strong wind brings the breath of the distance, thunder and fire are intertwined with the fresh air of grass and trees, and are also surrounded by the slightly salty ocean. Covered by air, Thunderbird asked: "The air in Central Continent is harmful to the human race in that world, right?"

"Yes." Astaros said.

"Are the substances of that world harmless to the people of this world?"

"Mostly harmless," said Astaros.

"Why is there such a difference?" Thunderbird asked.

"Because when the two worlds were separated, such a design was specially made." Astaros said.

Thunderbird tilted his head, "What is 'design'?"

"It means that each other should return to the bridge, and the road should return to the road." Astaros explained to him calmly, "A space is divided into two worlds, and the same descendants, one has knowledge and the other is ignorant, and they are separated from each other. Evolution, trying to find two kinds of hope to get rid of this dead world through two directions, but this plan is hasty, and the result is obviously a failure."

Although Thunderbird made a gesture of listening carefully, his eyes showed that he was having difficulty understanding. "What were you talking about," he asked earnestly, "about something very important about the world?"

"That's right." Astaros said with a smile.

"But I don't understand," Bristol said. "Can you or someone else explain it to me?"

"Actually, there is a faster way." Astaros said.Then he snapped his fingers.

Thunderbird: "?"

After a while, his eyes turned from misty to clear again, and the fragments of memory from before had been wiped out. He glanced at Astaros, looked a little excitedly at the space passage in the distance, and greeted the latter After that, he jumped out of the railing again, changed back to his original shape, hovered over Astaros' head for a moment, and then flapped his wings and flew into the distance.

The attendant returned to the inner hall, fetched another set of clothes and waited.

Looking at Thunderbird's free back, Astaros said: "Sometimes total ignorance is better than half-knowledge."

He looked up at the majestic sky pillar standing in front of him, "Power brings responsibility, knowledge is painful. The more you know, the more you understand that there are many things that cannot be reversed by human power. We can help this world like the eggs of death What we are fighting for is only a sliver of life, and we have to make necessary sacrifices for this." He said, facing the spiritual friend on the other side of the sea, "You have already achieved the same level of awareness as us, haven't you, 'Master' ?”

The flying Thunderbird turned into a point of vision, and on the vast and barren plain, a huge alchemy corps centered on the "White Knights" of various shapes, rumbled forward towards the four-dimensional space passages.

This picture with a huge amount of information was captured by the continuous operation of the sky eyes at each arrival point, and reflected in the general system of the industrial city in time. There are four shifts a day, and any meaningful information is transmitted to the information center in real time, and then submitted to the command center after being summarized and selected, and the standing committee members of the alliance who stick here will respond in a timely manner.None of the national representatives who joined the Human Self-Defense Alliance did not admit that, except for the Industrial Alliance, no other country could play the role of this system in this way, and effectively helped those countries that gave their trust to the alliance before and after the restart of the rift.

In the Industrial City Convention Center with a strong geometric aesthetic, practical meetings between the Alliance and various countries, and between representatives of various countries were held one after another.Through these high-intensity meetings, the representatives of various countries learned about the current overall situation of the Middle Continent world actively or involuntarily.

During the change of heaven and earth, which lasted for more than three days, the entire world of Central Continent was severely impacted, especially the countries and regions with descending points within their borders were hit particularly hard.Overall, only the industrial alliance suffered minor losses. Immediately after the catastrophe, its industrial production capacity recovered by 90.00%. The most important thing is to explain the catastrophe to the domestic people honestly. Even if they cannot provide material assistance and set a reliable example, most people can save themselves in time and tenaciously; secondly, The impact on the Far East Continent was also very limited. Due to the reasons obviously not luck but man-made choices, there were no large human settlements around the points of descent located in the Far East Continent, but there were some huge creations as the center of the legion waiting in full force; Thirdly, although the tension in manpower and the confusion in the coordination of various institutions are inevitable due to the process of integration, the United Kingdom can still be called safe-haven on the whole, and its main losses are in the southern coastal area and mainly The ground is manifested as damage to agricultural production, disaster relief operations are underway, and social order has basically been restored.

It can almost be said that the most stable and reliable country at the intersection of the two worlds is the most powerful country in the Middle Continent world, but there is a very significant gap between the first three and the last countries.

In terms of population, land, and military strength alone, the Central Empire, which has only part of the central region and all the northern regions, may not be weaker than the United Kingdom. The empire conveyed various forecasts about the opening of the rift channel. However, due to the influence of various factors, their sincerity and goodwill have not received due attention, or even though they have received attention, they have not been able to be transformed into effective actions in a timely manner.Many areas of the northern empire suffered significant losses in this disaster, and the people who did not receive sufficient warning fell into great chaos, especially because a passageway of descent was located near the imperial capital, and the nobles of the imperial capital disregarded the prohibition. The escape made the situation even more difficult to control.

Surprisingly, but not so unexpectedly, the people who suffered the heaviest losses and the most chaotic order in this disaster turned out to be the Pope's State in central Central Continent and the vast area it governs.As a result, the prestige of the Holy See suffered a huge blow, and the reputation of the Industrial Alliance surpassed the "Wall of Faith" and spread unprecedentedly in the central region of Middle Continent.Countries cannot fail to learn this lesson.

While the meeting was going on, countless materials and personnel were transferred from the industrial alliance every day, and countless people arrived at the alliance from the outside world every day: some of them were later aware of the existence of the industrial alliance, or regretted the country representatives who rejected the alliance at the beginning. They come to join the alliance; some are officials and military generals sent by countries that have already joined the alliance to receive training suitable for alliance management and war work; there are various large and small chambers of commerce who come to transport war materials for their own countries; There is an astonishing number of groups, which are the families of the royal family and various powerful nobles who have flocked to the industrial alliance to determine that the area is the safest from now to the future.

Although it is not within the scope of the covenant, the Industrial Alliance has indeed given affirmative asylum commitments to the countries, and even quickly prepared houses with good conditions in various cities for these important figures, eliminating the worries of the allies. This thoughtful move not only enhanced the centripetal force of the alliance, greatly improved the injustice image of the industrial alliance in the central and western regions of Central Asia, but also—or more importantly, due to the departure of a large number of upper-level rulers, they are arriving in these countries and regions in turn The Union Army and Task Force therefore reduced the resistance of many works.
