Chapter 681: The Power of Industry
The power that industry can bring out is powerful and vigorous.
Whether it is the Wugmar Empire built by the Black Orcs or the steam civilization that rules the entire continent in the Forgotten Realm, after they embarked on the industrial road, the size of the entire force can accumulate dozens or even hundreds of times the scale in a short period of time.
Metal, rivets, steam, revolution...... A series of familiar words crossed the mind of the god of time in an instant.
His ontology, Night, has an incomparably familiar understanding of industry, and has the experience of fighting several industrial civilizations in this multiverse.
Each time, Cangye plays the role of either the leader of the early classical civilization or the medieval epic civilization, fighting each other with the industrial civilization.
Although every night can prevail.
However, we have to admit that the other side is much more civilized than our own, and its military power is also much stronger than that of the rabble of weaker civilizations.
100 years of industrial civilization is enough to be worth 2,000 years of medieval civilization.
The terrifying power of expansion combined with the power of rapid change can create a behemoth like the Witchmar Empire or the Iliad in the multiverse in every hundred years, in just ten hours, less than the age of the gods.
……
The god of time knows how terrible the change industry can bring.
Although the Heavenly Wise Men used most of the Good God Camp to build a complete logistics network, the Devils' logistics channels were no less than those of the Good God Camp.
Although the passage was narrower and smaller, it was faintly larger than the sheer volume of the gods of the heavenly realm in terms of transportation speed and turnover complexity.
With the help of lighter and more flexible communication equipment, the commander of Purgatory can command dozens of battlefields at once, while the metal god can only rely on divine vision, which, if bewitched, will bring a devastating blow to his own forces.
Justinian, the Monarch of Hell, cooperated with the Queen of Pain, the Lord of Purgatory, to obscure the vision of the metal god, inducing the metal god to send his elite forces in advance, such as the Knights Templar, the Templar Order, the Priests' Order, the God's Guard, and the Metal Elemental Clan...... And so on and so on.
Later, the Devil of Purgatory concentrated his artillery fire on a steel fortress.
The Fallen Angel Legion attacked strongly, leveling the entire fortress almost immediately, guiding a large number of demon seeds to pour into the hinterland of the Black Steel Continent.
Seeing this, the god of rest knew what was going to happen.
The metal god was defeated, but the Celestial Sage also planned this step and ambushed the superior forces in advance to rescue.
In the final result, after a large amount of damage to the combat power of the Order, the metal god pulled out the first blood battle star 'Black Steel Continent', and the remaining forces reunited on the second line of defense to thwart the crazy abyss offensive.
With the help of the eyes of the metal god, the wise man of the heavenly realm must have fully understood the terrifying nature of the abyss, especially the purgatory, after the establishment of a relatively complete industrial system, the war potential that broke out made the wise man have to re-evaluate.
Mobility, penetration, speed of mobilization, contact distance, structural identity......
Judging from a war, the wise men of the heavenly realm have already understood what kind of power supports the demons behind them.
In contrast, the gods unite all their forces through faith, and high-ranking priests can communicate with their peers, or gods, messengers, and even gods themselves, through their faith networks.
However, this method of communication is only rigid and one-sided, and there is always only the superior to contact the subordinate, and what is even more backward is that the so-called high-ranking priests will always refer to only legends and above.
In contrast, the Devils have covered the network of contacts into the minds of every mid-ranking Devil.
At the same time, weapons of mass destruction produced on industrial assembly lines can aid in the genocide of the Holocaust, and many clergy are often shattered by thunderous artillery fire before they even get close.
The Celestial Sage had to take into account the seriousness of the matter.
Although I am not familiar with this kind of civilization development model, I also know from a few words that industrial civilization can only germinate in a determined and unified force.
In other words, it is only in absolute order that industrial civilization is born.
The Demons of Purgatory have always been the forces of order and evil in the Abyss, and they are closer to the evil gods than the demons.
I have to admit that it is indeed the other party that is stronger now.
The Celestial Sages are already thinking about how to spawn the germ of industry within the camp of the gods, and fight industry against industry.
However, this necessitates a change in the current rigid model of clerical rule, and a new vitality within the order.
The Reformation is imperative!
……
The god of time was also thinking about catalyzing industrial civilization.
He undoubtedly knows more about the interior than the Celestial Sages, and knows how to build a complete and powerful industrial civilization.
The transition from medieval civilization to industrial civilization is actually a transition from agriculture to industry.
Any plane of gods has to admit that nearly 90% of the population is confined to the countryside, growing food for nobles and priests.
In order to develop the rudimentary industrial system, it was necessary to liberate a large number of agricultural populations, drive them into the cities, become merchants, craftsmen, and thus evolve into a new profession - workers.
However, in this way, the productivity of the rural areas will inevitably fall to the bottom after a large number of people are reduced, so it is necessary to improve farming technology and further liberate the productive forces in order to allow a small number of people to cultivate and ensure that agriculture will not weaken.
In the end, it is necessary to promote the development of industry with a large amount of money, so in the development of industry, it is necessary to promote the change of demographic structure, and the fundamental thing that promotes the change is the improvement of productivity, in short, the economy determines everything.
The god of time understands this very well.
Therefore, in the 'Forgotten Realm', a large number of 'Secrets of Time' cultists were sent here, and while the New Kingdom of Monsutteria was engaged in agricultural work, they built city-states, established trade with the 'Land of the Dragon' and the 'Land of Madness', and at the same time, the handicraft industry flourished, and in this way, with the primitive accumulation of capital completed in the various wars, the state of transition from classical civilization to medieval civilization and to industrial civilization was quickly completed.
The emancipation of the productive forces, the massive increase in population, the infusion of primitive capital, the incomparable obedience to the will of the people...... Next, the god of time needs to change the faith of the faithful.
The more religious a person is, the easier it is to satisfy him, and the lower his desires.
However, industry was born and flourished in the midst of naked interests, and therefore, in order for the god of time to develop industry, he had to stimulate the fire of desire that lurked under the shell of faith.
