Since January 1, 777 Terra, when Ian Silverpeak, the victor of the Battle of the Sun, returned to the continent of Terra and issued the Perpetual Motion Declaration, the world began to change.
The most intuitive change is that the world war, which was still in full swing, has now completely stopped.
To be precise, before the War of the Sun, the intensity of the war across the continent was gradually decreasing.
The battles between countries have become routine. Part of the reason is that each country has dispatched a large number of high-level combat forces to study the arcane path. Another part of the reason is that the war has reached this point, and the staged victory or defeat has become clear.
If we continue to fight, unless we continue to increase investment, there will be no more results.
This is a good preparation for the armistice.
As for why there is a truce... the reason is simple.
Because from top to bottom, no one wants to fight.
The strong don't want to fight because they don't want dead people - the emergence of perpetual motion machines has made the outcome of war extremely ridiculous. Killing the opponent's soldiers is nothing more than providing the opponent with an unwavering source of dead votes, while oneself If one party dies during the attack, they might even hate themselves in turn.
At this point, no one wants to take the initiative to attack other countries. No matter victory or defeat, the gain outweighs the loss.
And for ordinary people...hey, who wants to fight!
No matter who gets the perpetual motion machine in the future, there is a high probability that everyone will have a good life. So why should we abandon the good life in the future for war? If you die now, you will really lose money. Not only will you not be able to see the beautiful golden age of mankind in the future, but you may also miss the era of 'all sublimators' in the arcane path theory!
If everything is really as Ian Yinfeng said, then after the perpetual motion machine really starts to operate, what Terran humans will usher in is a world with unlimited energy, territorial expansion, and no food worries. An era when everyone is well fed, clothed and housed, and can pursue their dreams!
Although everyone still doesn’t know who will be the final winner, there is no doubt that whoever does not set the above-mentioned futures into his own goals, then even if the other party is the strongest sublimator in his country, everyone You may not vote for him either.
Because of Ian Silverfeng's words, the rulers of all countries around the world have become involved.
Of course, some of the rulers are not interested in perpetual motion machines, or they think they cannot win.
However, they dare not continue to oppress and squeeze the people in their own country like this.
Why?
Because the powerful people in this world who have the capital to compete for the ownership of perpetual motion machines, the rulers of the largest countries, have long hungrily locked their scarlet eyes on the leaders of all other forces.
As long as these strong men with the possibility of victory find out that they are oppressing the people in their own country...
Without even thinking about it, the powerful men from these powerful countries will swoop in with lightning speed, join forces to kill him, and then divide his country and his 'votes'.
Everyone must do their best and be perfect, otherwise, they will be robbed by others - and the oppressed people will never miss a strong man who oppressed them, but will happily vote Vote for those who freed them!
This is the ‘vote intimidation’ of the new era!
The bottom class refuses war, and those who are not strong enough dare not continue the war. However, the strongest group of strong people have long given up the war, and are scanning the whole field to see which country dares to continue to pressure the people to join the army and continue the war.
In this way, the war ended quickly.
But a new concept of 'competition' appears in the world.
Powerful people are thinking about how to build a society that can best win the approval of all the people, a society that is in line with local people's livelihood, not too ambitious, but a society that can be actually created.
In a sense, this is also a kind of war, but it is a war with changed logic.
Many ordinary people are wondering about this.
The original war was when people sacrificed their lives to conquer other forces because of the will of some strong men.
This is the same as the boss of a congressman, who waved his hand and asked a group of farmers' sons to kill another group of farmers' sons thousands of miles away for the benefit of his own factories and farms.
Whether they are winners or losers, hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of people have been burned as fuel for the war, and the final result may not be satisfactory.
However, unlike on Earth, if the strong men on Terra want to start a war, they must also be a member of the war. Regardless of success or failure, the strong (powerful) have the possibility of death. In a sense, From a practical point of view, it is almost equivalent to the logic of nuclear war on earth, that is, if a war breaks out, the strongest at the top will be the most likely to die first.
But on the other hand, every war in Terra today is equivalent to a nuclear war, so the possibility of world destruction is unusually high.
Cruel.
But it’s also simple and easy to understand.
But now?
Everyone no longer has to face the danger of world destruction at all times, and because of this, many people are confused about this.
——Even in the end, a strong man with a perpetual motion machine is really decided... This cannot change the logic of the world. It is nothing more than creating an invincible emperor for everyone!
——If the emperor does not intend to fulfill his promise, can the perpetual motion machine counter it?
The original war brought about clear destruction, but now the competition is too complicated, and the people cannot understand the consequences of this complicated competition, so they will be more confused.
However, there are also many people who don't care about this: Is it possible that there is no invincible emperor/speaker/prime minister above everyone now? Rather than worrying about this problem, it is better to simply believe in perpetual motion machines.
A goal that is not lofty enough may not start the perpetual motion machine at all.
This is Terra today, a world that is changing with each passing day.
In the Setal Empire, the center of the Solar War and the Perpetual Motion Declaration, the situation is changing even more rapidly.
The situation in the empire today is very strange.
The Earl of South Ridge, Ian Silverfeng, and the second prince, Mikael, joined forces to fight against the imperial emperor, the defender Axel, and Earl Silverfeng returned to Terra as the final winner.
Earl Yinfeng did not betray the empire - at least, not according to the moral values of a fifth-level strongman - he returned the blood of the emperor and the second prince to the original eldest prince Carlos and eldest princess A Legria received a share of the blood of the top.
Then... the empire split.
In fact, not only the empire, but also the countries of Terra are now somewhat divided.
After all, the perpetual motion machine does not choose ‘a force’ but ‘an individual’ as the final winner.
In this case, even if the comrades who originally fought side by side have different wishes, they still have to compete for the perpetual motion machine.
In fact, the fifth-level powerhouses who are originally in the same country will weaken each other's votes and cannot defeat those forces that have only one supreme voice.
For example, Yanjiang has a small population. If Juyue and Yuanxing both have different wishes, then their biggest opponents are not the rulers of other countries, but their own 'colleagues'.
The original empire belonged to the latter.
Neither Governor Baiji nor the commander of the First Army could compete with the glory of the Sun Emperor.
But now, the sun's brilliance is split.
Neither Carlos nor Alegria are characters willing to be subordinate to others.
If their brother Mikael, who was the first to enter the fifth level, is still alive (in fact, he is alive), then they may still be able to accept him as the new emperor, but if it is the other party... then the division of the empire is the best solve.
Nowadays, although the empire is still legally one, it has actually become a divided empire between the east and west.
The commander of the First Army followed the eldest prince Carlos, while Governor Baiji chose to support the eldest princess Alegria.
And the new generation of Immovable City, the successor of Black Sun, Earl Ian Silver Peak... also became the Duke of Silver Peak and the Grand Duke of Nanling of the Empire by virtue of his contribution of "escorting the blood of the top throne back".
Three points of the empire.
The ticket source is also three points.
At this point, the empire no longer has an overwhelming advantage over other forces, so in turn, the forces within other countries have begun to divide and divide.
Although it is not the same world line...but the same.
For the sake of perpetual motion, the era of great division has arrived.
And for Ian, everything is a good thing.
If nothing else, now that Ian has become the legitimate Grand Duke of Nanling, it is equivalent to allowing him to establish an independent country.
Although Ian had virtually controlled the entire South Ridge before, the owner of South Ridge was still the Marquis of Barton, and after Ian became the Duke, he was the real owner of this land.
People will be proud to be from Nanling and happy to be his subjects under Ian Silverfeng.
As for the Marquis of Baton...he retired happily.
Although the Marquis was a little regretful about Axel's ending, after the old man knew that his master was actually planning such an incredible madness and actually succeeded, he didn't even regret it. .
"I don't think anyone can regret for him - His Majesty has accomplished everything he wanted to accomplish."
"As a minister, I just want to be happy."
With that said, the Marquis of Barton handed over the rights of the Nineteenth Legion to Ian very comfortably, and his son also swore allegiance to Ian, and he was completely retiring under Ian.
"Old slippery man."
This is Ian's evaluation. He is quite helpless about Marquis Barton's application for retirement. He also hopes that the other party will work hard for a while to stabilize the situation.
But he also knew that Marquis Barton had a short lifespan. If he did not retreat now and use arcane methods to recuperate his body, he might die in a few years.
Human life is paramount, so we can only let him retreat.
In addition, there are many strange things happening in the empire.
First of all, in the western part of the empire, the Mist Forest, where the Grand Duchy of Thorin was originally located, began to gradually emit the fiery breath originating from the center of the earth.
The meaning of this scene is obvious: Justice Thorin is gradually bringing his country's subjugation to the surface and returning to the world.
As the fifth level of the former imperial faction, his appearance attracted everyone's attention.
After Axel's death, Archduke Thorin returned again...
What is his purpose?
Is it to take pleasure in someone else’s misfortune?
Or do you plan to get a share of the pie in view of the current chaotic situation in the empire?
Or...
Before others could continue to speculate, Grand Duke Thorin's own words eliminated everyone's doubts.
[I don’t have any ideas about perpetual motion machines, and I don’t think I can succeed]
[Now that the world situation has changed, there will no longer be destructive wars in this world. My people can choose to be reborn - but this requires too much energy and resources, which I cannot bear in a short time, or To put it bluntly, I can’t do it]
[So, if someone is willing to make a contract with me and revive my people, my power can be used by him]
Grand Duke Thorin transformed all the people in his principality into souls, avoiding the tragic battle between the empire and the Firelands, and the invasion of the demon army.
From the perspective of future generations, Grand Duke Thorin did preserve the souls of his subjects, and did not let anyone's soul be devoured and shattered by demons, leaving the possibility of rebirth for his subjects.
However, the cruel methods used in the process of studying the dead king, and the fact that a large number of people were indeed 'dead', also made Grand Duke Thorin the well-deserved 'worst tyrant' in the world - anyone who talks about him is Disgust mixed with fear.
Grand Duke Thorin's declaration is very sincere, and no one will doubt whether he still has ambitions for perpetual motion machines. Everyone knows that Archduke Thorin will not compete with them for perpetual motion machines. In this case, such a fifth-level ally is very tempting.
But the problem is that most Terrans have a natural aversion to 'Grand Duke Thorin'.
Forging an alliance with him is likely to cause his own people to no longer support him.
This is the natural fear of madmen, an attitude that cannot be changed with words or promises.
——For your own good, I can kill you and turn you into a dead soul... This kind of will is simply like the dark devil.
Of course, according to Grand Duke Thorin's words, as long as his people are revived, then his people can get rid of their status as 'unfree souls' and have the right to vote.
The person who revives them will undoubtedly get this vote.
This huge income is enough to offset the fear of his own people towards Archduke Thorin.
But here comes the problem.
——If you want to get Grand Duke Thorin's votes and fight for the perpetual motion machine, you need to resurrect Grand Duke Thorin's people.
——As for the people who want to resurrect Archduke Thorin, it is difficult for all the strong men in this world to do it in a short time. Only with a perpetual motion machine can it be possible.
The circular paradox belongs to yes.
"Currently, I am the only one in Terra who has the possibility to obtain this 'source of votes' from Grand Duke Thorin."
In the South Ridge meeting, Ian expressed his opinion very directly: "The arcane path is the only way that can allow these souls who are about to lose their self to find themselves bit by bit, and I believe , with my appeal, the people of Nanling will not fear me for Grand Duke Thorin."
"But let me say that letting the dead souls in the hands of Archduke Thorin restore themselves is only the first step. The second step is to let these dead souls regain their bodies."
Compared to those fifth-level people on Terra who are still issuing new policies to appease the people and attract votes, Ian's current attitude is to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
As long as he builds his Nanling base, the people of Nanling who have loved him very much from the beginning will never be pulled away by others.
In turn, he can also plan other people's territories and siphon the population of other countries just like he is currently planning the votes in the hands of Archduke Thorin.
"There are many ways to give the dead souls a body, but biological cloning is difficult because we do not have the gene pool of Archduke Thorin. After all, humans are not real dragons and can switch biological prosthetics at will. , so we need to think in the direction of 'mechanical prosthetics'."
At the meeting, Ian looked at Roland, the head of his Mechanical Alchemy Department: "I have already sent the technology of mechanical prosthetics before. Now, the main task of our Yinfeng Mechanical Alchemy Department is to technicalize these theories. Make reality."
"It doesn't matter if you encounter problems along the way. Summarize them all and submit them to Albert, and he will solve them."
"Yes!" Roland answered seriously, and then began to write quickly on the crystal board, writing down all of Ian's speech word for word.
The technology of mechanical prosthetics is actually the mechanical technology of pre-epochal civilizations and the technology related to Canaan Moore's 'Eternal Elves'. Ian has already obtained it, but it still takes some time for his technical department to fully understand all these advanced technologies.
Ian believes that in the process, Yinfengling's technical staff will encounter many problems. Only by constantly asking questions and solving them can they make progress and keep up with their own pace.
As for whether Adelbert can really solve all the problems raised by the technical department...
Haha, it wasn’t Adalbert who was answering at all!
Although Adlbert is not inferior to his own genius, Ian also knows that the other person's main talent is in soul and spiritual energy. Although he is relatively proficient in mechanics, he is only at the level of an ordinary genius and absolutely not. May solve all problems encountered by the technical department.
But, Adlbert is the ‘test paper writer’ of ‘Pioneer Space’!
If he really encounters a problem that he cannot solve, he does not need to burn his brain cells to solve it. Instead, he can directly write it into a test paper for Pioneer Space and distribute it to all Pioneer Space users!
In the Pioneer Space, there are many people who are proficient in mechanical technology, and it is not uncommon for them to be better than Adebert.
Even if you can't win, one is a busy person and the other is a student taking exams. Who can put more effort into solving the obvious problem?
Gathering the wisdom of all the outstanding talents in Terra to solve problems for their own territory technology, this is the power of Ian's pioneer space free prostitution!
Similarly, this is why after Ian returned to the Silver Peak Territory, he immediately worked hard to improve the Pioneer Platform and combine it with the Heart of Terra to turn it into a 'Pioneer Space'!
The creator of Pioneer Space is Ian.
The initial founding members are close friends Isengard, Adlbert, Anfa and Xio.
After Ian returned to Terra, these people came to greet him immediately. Anfa even asked his uncle Yapheda to open the space-time gate from Canaan Moore.
Ian is naturally very happy. He is not a bloodless and tearless machine - maybe in other timelines, he may become that kind of existence, but at least this time, he has friends and family from beginning to end. Elders are naturally not that kind of monsters.
During the War of the Sun, Isengard stayed in the Imperial Capital, communicating with the 'immortality' in Inaga II's body.
Just like Ian's chat with Inaga II, Isengard does not have too much pressure...just as a 'copy' of Inaga II in a sense, he has no feelings for his great-grandfather, himself The Primarch was very curious.
The exchange between the two of them is a story outside of the story... But in general, Isengard has completely solved the knot in his heart.
He completely reconciled with his past and origins - he is a unique individual, his mother's child, not a descendant his father did not expect to be born, nor an experimental subject for his grandfather's grand plan, and naturally not A clone of Inaga II.
His Heart Light Body was also completely formed at this moment.
It is called "Light of Sunset", a kind of light that combines the beast of a thousand stars and the sun bird. It is close to dusk, not bright, not clear, and even gives people a hazy and dim feeling.
Its effect is not that magical and powerful, it can just 'calm' people down.
It's like sitting in a circle with family and friends around a crackling campfire under the dusk sky.
With smiles and peace of mind, everyone drank drinks together, ate barbecue delicacies, and watched the sun slowly set on the horizon... Then, the world sank into night.
So, you can sleep peacefully.
It's such 'peace'.
