The allure and influence of a strong and open country is staggering.

To be strong means to be correct, and to be open means to spread values ​​to the outside world - this is obviously no one in the Central State World can surpass the Industrial Alliance.

They not only use external interests to buy, but also gather outstanding talents from other countries into their own interior.In this world, there is probably only the Industrial Alliance, a country that actively recruits foreign students. Although their threshold for recruiting students is not low-mainly because they have to pack the nobles with the common people, the students are treated well, and most of the courses are extremely practical, so they go to the Alliance. The upsurge of studying abroad soon spread from the Xizhou Plain to a wider area, and it grew to an astonishing scale after the rift was restarted.

Thousands of young people poured into the alliance's schools at all levels, and a considerable number of nobles entered the alliance's military training camps. This process happened at the same time as the alliance dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops and work teams.People eagerly want to get the secret of rapid national power improvement from this powerful country, and the Industrial Alliance is also willing to selflessly share its own development and construction experience with them.Like their foreign aid, many people believe that these practices of the Industrial Alliance are both to fight against alien invasion and to integrate itself into the mainstream world. After all, it is a heretical country anyway.

The world of Central Continent needs its power, so many countries and regions are willing to submit to it. However, if it does too much, maybe the backlash suffered by the survivors after the last Rift War will repeat itself.

Even if the teacher said in his congratulatory speech to "cultivate reliable talents who develop in an all-round way, adapt to the needs of the times, and be able to achieve unity on the front line", neither the outside followers nor the majority of the students themselves can immediately realize the meaning of this passage.

But they soon found out.

Under the shadow of the war, the Industrial Alliance adjusted the packaging strategy of noble and commoner students, and no longer gave different education according to their status-meaning that it was not to teach the commoners the specialized knowledge that was once only taught to the nobles, but that the nobles lost them The power to choose.All the courses that they once thought were low, tiring, and unsuitable and denied have come before them. They not only have to learn agriculture, go to the fields, cultivate the land with their own hands, mix fertilizers, and apply poisonous pesticides; Theoretically, they have to put on work clothes and go to the rumbling factory to carry raw materials, operate machines, fill up engine oil, and clean the workshop; they also have to crawl on the training ground like any ordinary soldier with heavy weapons Fighting, being deprived of privileges and bound by discipline, and required to obey orders unconditionally; regardless of their origin, all international students must learn basic skills such as field survival, sewing, and medical care.

In other words, apart from courses such as political economy, that is, history, these international students must study what the Alliance people study.

To meet the needs of reality, these courses have been condensed, and the frequency and standards of the examination have been adjusted; at the same time, in order to strengthen the relationship with other countries, the Industrial Alliance has set up a special universal radio channel dedicated to broadcasting self-made programs of various countries ; and because anyone with common sense can see that the newspapers and periodicals published by the Union are becoming more and more important in the world, so they began to transfer various printing equipment to willing countries, their newspapers and publishing houses Also undertake various printing business.

The goodwill of these initiatives is unquestionable, and whatever the people want from this rising giant, the Federation of Industry will try to make their wishes come true.And no matter how many sane people have seen the consequences of accepting this kind of good intentions-it is a continuous erosion like a sea wave, a gradual transformation from body to mind, and the swallowing and replacement of weak cultures by strong cultures.In the long run, the consequences are unimaginable.

However, a person's life is only a few decades, so what's the use of looking too long-term?What's more, the war is just around the corner.

After the fifth and sixth waves of beast horde, Fan Tianlan's strength increased further.There has not yet been a demon race as recorded in the records, but the number and variety of invading alien species have not only increased, but also their intelligence and ability to adapt to the environment have also increased significantly. The defense line of the Human Self-Defense Alliance has withstood the Faced with the challenges of these growth, other military alliances in Middle-earth struggled increasingly, highlighting their logistical and defensive strategic weaknesses in the confrontation.

The real enemy has not yet appeared, and their opponents are still beasts. However, apart from the solid defense line, the self-defense alliance with minor casualties and the pressure of war have successfully passed the run-in period, changing from a nominal alliance to a military, political and economic alliance. In addition to the United Kingdom, whose power has grown significantly due to the integration of the rift, the casualties and material losses suffered by the countries in the central part of the continent in the previous animal hordes are almost close to those caused by the changes in the world when the rift restarted.

In stark contrast between the east and west lines and the central defense line is their rear construction and production. More than eight months is not enough to completely transform the basic situation of a country and region, but it is enough for liberators with sufficient material support to lead people to harvest The first batch of production results.The small blast furnace they built can only produce some agricultural tools with stable quality, and the arsenal can only produce some throwing weapons with a small damage range. It's different, but the results of their self-examination have many shortcomings, which is close to a miracle for the local people.

In a few months, the international students of the alliance will finish their application courses and begin to return to their home countries on a large scale.Under the repeated influence of rigorous study, high-intensity training, daily-changing battle reports and various group activities, only a handful of the most determined students can still maintain the values ​​​​of the past.There are so many of them, so many skills they have acquired in the alliance, and such a large demand for talents that countries have passively generated due to various projects promoted by the industrial alliance and actively learn from the alliance, means that These international students will soon be filled into various vacancies in new positions in various countries.

The Pope of the Holy Alliance said that "unimaginable shaking is taking place in the West, and a corruption more terrible than the plague is spreading in the name of war." Inexorable change is happening, and people's perceptions of the future are shifting.

Once the process has started, there is little outside force to stop it.

The environment outside the industrial alliance is changing, and it is changing within the industrial alliance.

Even without the reminder from Meravia, Fan Tianlan has already realized that his ability will only work among people who have established a common understanding. The deeper their consensus, the stronger their beliefs. In this vast thinking network The more positive feedback you get.

Thus, the reality he wanted to see was born from this interaction: the more loyal to Yun Shen and his beliefs, the more people who are willing to make contributions, the more talented they will be, and the more they will be able to participate in the fair selection and competition of the alliance. It is valued and rewarded in the evaluation system.

It wasn't that Fan Tianlan controlled their thoughts, but that the data cloud based on him and Yunshen allocated resources to its network members, making them show obvious identity.The principle of distribution is generally that believers will become stronger, and those who are capable will become more capable. If someone wavers, or even betrays, then the beneficial assistance that was given to him before will be withdrawn. It is the most beneficial tool for firm loyalty.

Therefore, Fan Tianlan also knows that even if the trust and admiration for the "Sorcerer" inside and outside the alliance has reached the point it is today, people who can truly understand his wishes and practice his path are not even seven percent among the liberators one.This is a number that is like pouring cold water in a fiery atmosphere. Fan Tianlan is very dissatisfied with this, but Yun Shen thinks it is much better than he imagined, and it also proves from another angle that Fan Tianlan's innate power cannot distort people's true will .

So which group came from to give Fan Tianlan such growing strength, even enough to touch the barriers of the world?

The answer is obvious.

Regardless of whether people believe in the bright future pointed out by the sorcerer, no matter how many of the liberators are willing to devote their lives to endless dedication and struggle, no matter how much external enemies slander them, and no matter whether the Human Self-Defense League No matter what form the second rift war will take, the industrial alliance represents the pursuit and practice of human beings for an ideal society.

No country or region - not even the United Kingdom of the East can imitate and repeat its rise. This is a political entity that has never existed in the middle-earth world. It has created a completely new social order, through land system Reform and increased productivity have destroyed the foundation of the existence of the king and the aristocracy. Regardless of race, nationality, gender, age and experience, it embraces all intelligent life willing to accept this order, not only improving their material life, And through the popularization of education and the mobilization of the public opinion machine, a common understanding that transcends traditional identity positioning has been established among a very large number of people.

It is not so much a country as it is a civilization.

The Industrial Alliance clearly distinguishes itself from the countries of Middle Continent. The members of the Alliance stepping out of the land of the Industrial Alliance are also incompatible with others. It is not their identity but their ideology that draws a clear gap between them and the old world.

This gap, together with the geographical isolation, once isolated this country from the understanding of the mainstream world, but this isolation was weak and short-lived for the industrial alliance. In the post-industrial society of China, it is an inevitable choice to break the barrier and go to the world.

This civilization has escaped the many twists and turns that other civilizations it learned from inevitably took, like a vigorous and fearless teenager, even if young and inexperienced, even its creators cannot guarantee it. It won't go awry in the long run, but it's on its way.

No longer is the spiral repetition of history, a new future has emerged.

They are in the stage of changing from quantitative to qualitative, just like Fan Tianlan's power development.

When the seventh wave of beast tide comes, invisible power ripples spread between heaven and earth, from west to east, from south to north, from the Industrial City of the Industrial Alliance to the Shenguang Forest of the United Kingdom, to the peak above the central peak of the Far Eastern Continent. In the White Palace, the most powerful gifted people in the world all felt something, and raised their eyes to the sky.

After the rift restarted, the once-stabilized boundary membrane oscillated again.

In the other world, all the floating cities have been brought into place one by one by the Palace of Immortality.

This grand project to rewrite the pattern of this world is all controlled by one person. Regardless of the size of the territory, the large population, the strength and status of the lord, each floating city, in this long and almost torturous traction process, in addition to sticking to the city A spectator, without them can make a move, and there is no room for them to comment.

They can't even leave the airspace of their own city.

Ever since the king of the previous generation passed away and the Immortal Heavenly Palace was hidden in the half-space, the high-level human race has not felt this kind of involuntary oppression for a long time, and some even can't recall the almost hopeless power gap that made them tremble.

Now they're thinking about it again.

The Palace of the Immortals is a symbol of kingship, and for a long time, its form was greater than its substance.Even though the nobles had witnessed the duke's Starnest City peeling off its false appearance long ago, they still seldom directly link it with the Immortal Palace. Living with Astaros in the Palace of Immortality, they only saw the destruction and resurrection of the Palace of Immortality after the death of the human king, and did not imagine its possible transformation in the long years.

Dominating a hundred cities with one city is like suppressing a clan with one person.

200 years ago, one-third of the great nobles collectively betrayed King Astaros, and after they believed that the overthrow was successful, they signed an offensive and defensive covenant among the great families, changed the orbit of the city, redrawn the boundaries, and caused the magnetic field to be chaotic. , the living environment on the ground is becoming more and more extreme, and due to the separatism of the princes, the new king lacks prestige and strength, unable to suppress, and unable to coordinate the contradictions between cities and cities, families and families, so people's hearts are corrupted, wars arise, conspiracy and murder are common , the doomsday is approaching at an accelerated pace.

Abandoning this chaotic old world, like a continent in a cage, and going to a new world with weak inhabitants, vast territory, and stable space, the higher races have long wanted to do so.In order to realize this long-cherished wish, they have been patient with the previous king for a long time, and did not start until the Millennium Plan was basically formed.

When they were celebrating, they suddenly discovered that their treason had long been known to the king. Under his contemptuous gaze, their various actions were like puppets performing a drama, and the thread of manipulation was always maintained in the palm of the king. These nobles One can imagine the fear and anger.

No one wants to be a puppet, and no one wants to be trampled on their dignity like this. What's more, after Astaros left and Duke Delderan closed the city, the new king was not to be feared. After unprecedented freedom, they never want to lose it.Therefore, they encouraged other families who did not participate in the rebellion to make a covenant, untie the ancient connection between Zhucheng and the Immortal Palace, and reset the cruise route.

Even if there are endless troubles after this move, even if the world they live in now is another world they will go to, they will be subject to greater time and space shocks when the rift restarts, and maybe the other world will be torn apart. After they leave However, this abandoned hometown will be crushed into powder in the gravitational cemetery. None of this can stop their decision, and even strengthen their determination.

In the long time waiting for the rift to reopen, the nobles have not been without progress.

At least they've found the source of Astaros' power.

As the most powerful human king ever recorded, Astaros surpassed the nobles because his strength did not come from natural talent, but from the spirit of life.That is to say, as long as there are still humans in this world who are willing to be driven by them—even if they are not willing—it doesn’t make a difference—he can continue to exist, and he can continue to stand proudly above everyone as if everything is under his control.

He stipulated the destiny and order of the human race in this world, and he will continue to be his king in another world, so that human beings must abide by the laws he made to survive.He was undoubtedly a wise and great monarch, but definitely not a tolerant saint.

The nobles could not see a bright future in him.

When the last floating city entered the designated location, almost all the nobles sensed the establishment of a huge system through the heart of the city, and at the same time realized their proper position and obligations in this system.

Then, it got dark.

Day and night do not change, it is the energy network covering the whole world that filters the skylight, the non-reflective longitude and latitude criss-cross at high altitudes that cannot be reached by human beings, outside the skynet is the dark cosmic background, and the stars are just lifeless cold stones Block—wrapped by the turbulent flow of space, dancing in a crazy trajectory, the only stable celestial body is the black sun, which has been rapidly evaporating for thousands of years, and has changed from a source of destruction oppressing the entire world to a blazing hole The malicious eye that peeped over.

After the natural environment system loses power, this world on the verge of collapse also loses its color. Whether it is a peak or an ocean, no matter whether it is hot magma or cold frozen ice, there are only three background colors of black, gray and white.The rich landforms that were once contested by thousands of species have long been torn apart by the magnetic force of the city's movement and destroyed into an endless vast ruins. The mountains collapsed, the magma flowed horizontally, the tides poured back, the storm roared, life disappeared, and the whole world was creaking. , only the huge space magic circle stood still, and the extremely concentrated energy caused a light energy reaction when it flowed. The bright pillars of light penetrated the sky and the earth, marking the escape channel for the higher human race overlooking from the sky.

The Dragon Clan watched silently from the edge of the world as all this happened.These high-energy creatures who can fly in space with only their physical bodies, but are trapped in this small world by the Skynet, see the strings of ties stretching out from the floating cities, gathering in all directions in the central Palace of Immortality, where flowers and trees are in full bloom. Countless filaments of light hang down from the domed hall, which criss-cross with countless light paths emerging from the ground as deep as a starry sky. The hall is as empty as a wilderness. Duke Delderan in a robe looks up at the sky slightly. The Palace of Immortality is like nothing, only the higher The curvature of space that humans can only see is reflected in his eyes. The incumbent king is standing in the center of the hall, the gorgeous and heavy royal clothes are rustling, and countless threads of light are connected to his body. The massive amount of counting information washed over his body, he could only squeeze out a little distraction to listen to the Duke's instructions, and the rest was focused on maintaining the operation of the large system.

Dozens of city lords stood on the edge of the hall, and they also shared their strength to assist the King to maintain the system, but their most attention was not on Zhucheng, which was sinking towards the boundary membrane, but on actually presiding over the project of destroying the world. the duke.

Once all the high-level human race migrated to that world, the world would be declared destroyed.The Dragon Clan will fuse the city engine, then split Skynet, and engrave himself as an armor that travels through the universe. The Duke will not migrate with the human race. He will stay alone and witness the destruction of this world with his own eyes. As for his ending after the world is destroyed No one knows whether to be buried as a sacrifice, or to go on an endless journey with the Dragon Clan.

The previous king, Astaros, was in another world, but the Duke didn't seem to intend to see him goodbye.

But it is impossible for him to be ignorant of the plans of the nobles, especially the great nobles. No one knows better than him the people's fear, vigilance, and never-ending elimination of that majesty.Don't ask them where their hatred comes from so deeply, because they don't know it well.

The throne of the human race is not inherited through blood, because all the higher human races are born from the same source, although the selection of human kings is methodical, not completely capable... But Astaros is different.He is not only different from the human kings of all dynasties, but is essentially different from the entire human race.
