There's a black hole inside me - Chapter 384
c384 Continuous challenges
Wei Ming did not stay in the Andong Empire for too long.
I stayed there for about five months in total.
A drone armor army of 100,000 units was left for Queen Metis to use, and a development fund of 100 billion gold coins was given to her to stabilize the situation in the empire, consolidate her position, and plan for better development.
Wei Ming believed that Metis could do a good job. She had stayed in the Magic Research City for three years. Her role was not just to warm Wei Ming’s bed, but to learn a lot about modern social governance during this time. knowledge, became familiar with various systems, and after making in-depth comparisons, she came up with her own ideas. Now she plans to go out and prove her ability.
“My dear, don’t leave, can you stay with me for a while?”
Metis was very reluctant to leave Wei Ming, and tried her best to hope that he could stay for a while, preferably not to go back, and help her build a powerful empire.
Obviously Wei Ming would not agree.
He waved his hand.
Left the White Swan Castle and returned to the Magic Research City.
Without the interference and covetousness of large outside forces, in the next twenty years, the Magic Research City entered a period of ultra-rapid development, with huge changes occurring every year, and the number of magician students recruited continued to rise exponentially.
Even to create your own basic base.
Wei Ming ordered the machine army to cultivate 1 billion acres of fertile land around the Magic Research City, and relocated billions of indigenous immigrants, all of whom were only low-level civilians, a small number of middle-level rich farmers, urban businessmen, and almost no nobles. .
The admissions system has also been changed. A large number of “admissions teams” are sent to conduct talent testing for all children aged 5 to 12 years old. Those with magical talents are recruited to the Magic Research Academy.
Take various measures.
The proportion of students with noble backgrounds has been reduced from more than 60% to only 10%.
In terms of resources, the resources were heavily tilted towards civilian children, offsetting the innate advantages of aristocratic students.
Within five years, the number of geniuses among civilian students began to exceed the number of geniuses among noble students.
By the tenth year of the reform, civilian students had gained a crushing advantage, and both the number and quality of geniuses exceeded those of the nobles.
Naturally, the aristocratic class also saw this phenomenon and trend, and they were anxious in their hearts. They couldn’t bear it anymore, so they sent a representative to question Wei Ming, why they should pay so much attention to civilian students and invest so many resources, but Instead of mainly aristocratic students, it is obviously suppressing the aristocratic class.
He even asked a faint warning: “Boss, do you want to go against the nobles who dominate this world? Do you know the consequences of doing so?”
“Well……”
Wei Ming could only say: “I am just using facts to prove that under the same resources, the talents of civilians and the talents of nobles are basically the same. Bloodline cannot prove anything. Therefore, under this training model, magic The density of divisions can be increased from the current one ten thousandth to one thousandth or even one percent, forming an absolute numerical advantage and changing from elite to mass. In this way, no matter what kind of competition we face, It’s impossible to be at a disadvantage.”
“The School of Magic Studies currently enrolls millions of students every year, and there are also millions of graduates who have gone out. They have created a lot of wealth and opportunities, and opened up a large area of more than a million students in the World of Warcraft Forest. The square kilometers of territory increased a lot of living space and changed their respective fates.”
“Is there anything more exciting than this? One person’s wealth and 99 people’s poverty are not developed. A hundred people have achieved food, clothing and prosperity. That is real development. This is a kind of poverty. Our developmentist values do not intentionally ignore the interests of the aristocracy.”
“There can be no such world!”
The representative said flatly: “The order of nobles and commoners has lasted for millions of years and is impossible to change. We ask your school to make immediate changes to reduce the proportion of civilian students admitted. The proportion of noble students must be restored. To more than 90%, return to the original order. If your school persists, we will take necessary actions to correct it and no longer allow the interests of the nobles to be undermined by this model! ”
“impossible!”
Wei Ming immediately refused: “This is also the order we admire, and no change is possible.”
“Okay, let’s see!”
The representative said harsh words and left angrily.
And because of the breakdown of this negotiation.
Seeing that the Magic Research City was unwilling to compromise and make changes, the nobles soon united and implemented a severe blockade of the Magic Research City!
Entered the stage of blockade and confrontation.
Including material blockade.
Restrictions on personnel movement.
Magicians who graduated from magic research schools were suppressed, banned, and even hunted and killed.
The purpose is to strangle the magic research city that is destroying the interests of the nobles and not allow such explosive expansion to continue.
but……
This joint boycott by the noble class did not have much effect in the face of the initial growth of the Magic Research City.
If there is a personnel blockade, the admissions team of the Magic Research City can go to places farther away to recruit students, such as the Andong Empire, which has good cooperation. Although it is a bit more troublesome, the enrollment task of 1 million people every year can still be easily done. Finish.
If it is a material blockade, on the one hand, in terms of conventional materials, we must achieve self-sufficiency as soon as possible and not rely on imports. If it is magic medicine, gemstones and other materials, we can only purchase them at a higher price, five times or ten times the price. It always makes some nobles sway, and for the sake of profit, small openings are opened – the aristocratic class is not monolithic.
in addition,
Therefore, the students and graduates of the School of Magic Studies were killed by the noble forces and caused blood debts. Hundreds of thousands of satellites have been launched to establish a global positioning and communication system around the planet Girubi. The terminal worn in each graduate’s hand can determine their location in real time. Once they are in danger or intercepted, they will know the location and even take a picture of the assailant’s face to know who the murderer is, and then retaliate and fight back.
After many beautiful counterattacks, the nobles were forced to give up their radical actions, knowing that the Magic Research City was not easy to mess with.
The confrontation lasted no more than five years.
Until this day, the Magic Research City announced that the number of registered students has officially exceeded 10 million, the number of graduates has exceeded 4 million, the number of trained magicians has exceeded 2 million, the number of magic saints has exceeded 10,000, and the number of magic gods has exceeded 10, and every year When more than 300,000 great magicians can be trained.
As soon as this information is announced.
The nobles within a 10,000-kilometer radius around the Magic Research City collectively deflated like deflated rubber balls, or fell into great uncertainty and fear.
A large number of people announced their withdrawal from the Noble Alliance, not wanting to continue fighting with the Magic Research City.
Because if this continues, nobles like them will die without a burial place.
The Magic Research City is even more powerful. The students who graduated from this city are even more arrogant. A small team of ten people can destroy an entire earldom without any damage to themselves. If they dare to reveal their secrets, On the friendly side, a family may have been passed down for thousands of years, and a few students can make this family history – this has happened hundreds of times.
besides.
The Magic Research City also began to turn its defense into an offensive, taking the initiative to challenge the nobility and proposing the so-called “Freedom Plan”. The purpose was to eliminate the aristocracy, eliminate inequality and exploitation, distribute land to serfs and civilians, and then carry out modernization. Reform, elite officials were sent to manage, and large tracts of noble territories were turned into free towns, free cities, and free zones…
Faced with such a strong counterattack.
The noble alliance began to split and disintegrate, or launch desperate counterattacks, and some took the initiative to change and cater to it. It didn’t take long before it completely collapsed and could no longer be united into a group, and could only be allowed to be flattened and rounded by the Magic Research City.
The nobles had to kneel down and start looking for a new way of survival.
Of course, the aristocracy is not the most powerful force on this planet, and it is not such a difficult challenge.
The most powerful one is actually the Magic Guild.
This guild is the management organization for all magicians. It has quite advanced magic technology and even an Internet-like information management system. It has a long history, at least 100,000 years ago.
And only the Magic Guild has a spaceship that can sail in a semi-vacuum environment, travel to other planets at a relatively fast speed, and connect all intelligent life in the entire galaxy.
Although the Magic Guild is not the most direct ruler.
But without this guild, the entire galaxy will fall into a certain kind of paralysis and isolation, and its importance is self-evident.
Therefore, after the Magic Research City emerged, it only took more than thirty years for it to enter the Magic Guild’s sight and become a major challenge that had to be faced.
Therefore, it was not long after the collapse of the Noble Alliance.
The Magic Guild also sent several representatives over, led by an old man with a white beard. They met Wei Qi in the conference room and stated the Magic Guild’s requirements:
“Your Magic Research City has developed too fast in recent years, beyond the normal development patterns of things, and has destroyed many traditional orders.”
“You can’t go any further!”
“Disband the school, hand over all scientific and technological information and magic research information, and then go back to where you came from.”
“This is a request from the elders of the Magic Guild. It can be said to be an order. If you are smart enough, just do as I say.”
The old man with a white beard said kindly, but the content of his words was tough and cruel.
Wei Qi’s eyes narrowed.
Magic Guild?
Demanding that the Magic Research City be disbanded?
Wherever it comes from, it will go there.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to reply to such an imperative request.
“What if we don’t do it?”
Wei Qi could only ask: “What will be the consequences?”
“Haha, I know that ordinary Dharma Gods and Dharma Saints can’t do anything to you. With your kind of technology, even Dharma Gods can easily kill you. On this planet of Jirubi, there really is no one who can destroy you. The power of outsiders, but…”
The white-bearded old man narrowed his eyes and said, “Have you ever heard of ‘divine punishment’? When divine punishment comes, no one can survive. If you are stubborn, then the final divine punishment will make you realize the price.” , it’s just that all living things within a radius of ten thousand miles are completely extinct.”
“So…do you want to give it a try?”
Divine punishment?
A true god-level powerhouse.
As expected, the Magic Guild has a profound foundation, and even has a true god.
Destroying all living beings in the surrounding area means that the blow released by a true god-level powerhouse is at least a trillion tons of energy, which is no less than a single blow from the main gun of a major interstellar battleship.
Can the ability of a single true god-level magician really reach this level?
The energy density contained in it may far exceed that of a nuclear explosion, and is even equivalent to an explosion of matter and antimatter.
But it can be controlled by a human-sized life.
This can indeed be regarded as the category of God.
“I understand what you mean. I will tell my boss about this matter and how to do it. The boss will give a clear answer.” Wei Qi said to the white-bearded old man.
“I’m waiting for your boss to make the right decision.”
…
soon.
In the conference room.
Regarding the upcoming challenges brought by the Magic Guild, Wei Ming held a meeting, and the main think tanks sat together to discuss it.
What to do next?
Expert Chen Jian said: “I think the Magic Guild should be the challenge at the top of the ceiling that we are destined to encounter, and it is also the most powerful challenge in this universe. If we do not handle it well, we may even overturn, and even pay a certain amount of money. casualties.”
Another expert shook his head and said: “The nerves of that Magic Guild are too sensitive. We have only been developing for more than thirty years, and they can’t help but jump out. Hey, they really don’t need to be like this. In fact, we can still cooperate. ”
“Boss, what do you think we should do? It’s not that we can’t solve the problem with the magic guild and the powerful men at the true god level, but there are too many bottles and cans at home now. Even if the war is won, the things we have accumulated will probably be It will also be affected by the war, and it may be reduced to pieces, which means that these decades of work have been in vain and deviated from the previous plans and original intentions. ”
“Otherwise~”
Another expert stood up and said: “Take out some basic technologies and some magic research materials and give them to the Magic Guild to see if they will give up. If you don’t hand over the advanced information, find a way to delay it for a certain period of time. Wait until The strength is strong enough, and there will be no showdown.”
“No need to act cowardly.”
Wei Ming frowned, waved his hand and said: “The ultimate goal of the Magic Guild is not only the information, they want us to disappear, or even kill them all. If we take a step back, they will press forward step by step, and they will never give in. “We stall for time and give ourselves a chance to develop.”
“Be prepared for war, start evacuating people and supplies, completely defeat this wave of challenges brought by the Magic Guild, and completely defeat them. We will develop well instead of getting into their rhythm!”
“yes!”
All the experts and think tanks said at the same time.
