Change began in Argos.

From the heart of this kingdom, among the most prosperous cities.

The spark of fire started burning blazingly before I knew it, and the fierce fire swept across the earth in all directions.

Steelmaking technology, steam technology, cutting machine tools, lifting and transportation... Various advanced technical materials and corresponding fields and industries seem to have accelerated time countless times, directly skipping the original accumulation and acceleration of the technological revolution.

During the development stage, it just appeared in Argos.

What followed were huge changes sweeping across society.

Just like business simulation and real-time strategy games, it is necessary to reasonably allocate the proportion of population and resource positions, and balance output and consumption, so that society can function normally. That is why change will be accompanied by severe pain, because society

With the shift of the center of gravity, the originally stable distribution will be disrupted again.

Reality is not a game, and the reform process cannot be simply completed by simply clicking a few mouse clicks, assigning the corresponding numbers of the population to the corresponding positions.

It takes time and trial and error to find a suitable social system again, and during this process, the vast majority of people can only passively accept and endure it all.

"I'm not hiring anymore, I'm not hiring anymore, how many times do I have to tell you..."

In the unrecognizable former shipyard, now the gate of the Titan Weapon Assembly Factory is surrounded by a large, dark crowd of people. They are crowded, bustling, you push me, they are all shouting excitedly, with various accents.

Together, I can't hear the specifics at all.

In front of the closed door of the steel factory, the person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead and repeated it loudly over and over again under the protection of the guards.

He felt that he was really unlucky today. He had just come over for inspection and encountered such a problem. But there was no way. If these damn thugs really caused trouble here and affected the production of the factory behind him, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.

.

After repeating it loudly several times, the people around finally heard it clearly, but they started to uproar even more dissatisfiedly, and the scene was extremely noisy for a while.

They were extremely dissatisfied with this, and the crowd started to riot.

For now, because of the short time, the people have not yet felt the pain of social change, but they have definitely felt the impact it brought. The shipyard suddenly closed more than a month ago, and then changed its name to become

He established the so-called "Church of Steam and Machinery" and hired a large number of craftsmen.

There are ten times, a hundred times more craftsmen than the previous shipyard.

It's a pity that they didn't seize the opportunity at that time. After all, they still looked at it the same way as before, thinking that the original shipyard had just changed its brand, and they also felt that this job was too insecure.

After all, there is no need for so many ships on weekdays. The market in this era is extremely limited.

It can be said that the only purpose of the shipyard's existence is to repair Argos warships.

There is no work at all on weekdays, but it can't be done without. Naturally, I can't say how good the salary and benefits are. I can only say that I am hanging on to my life... Now if I try it again, no one will be fooled.

Even the original shipyard craftsmen who had finally escaped from this pit were beaten to death and refused to go in again.

The result is that the relisted Church of Steam and Mechanics can only be purchased from "outsiders" who have recently come to Argos for pilgrimage in search of opportunities. After finally gathering enough manpower, they can start operating again with the highest efficiency.

Put into production.

Of course, it is impossible for everyone to have access to the top secrets of creating huge mechanical warfare weapons, but the Church of Steam and Machinery does not exist simply for this matter.

Because the Titan Soldier is not a country without an industrial foundation, the heavy equipment that can be maintained, even if it is built with all the efforts of the whole country, will not be maintained thereafter, so all-round technological changes are necessary.

At least a country with an industrial base must be able to support it.

Therefore, the Church of Steam and Machinery naturally shoulders such a mission. The core secret is to create giant weapons, and at the same time, it is also promoting the process of industrialization regardless of cost. Starting from the entire city, it is vigorously carrying out major transformations in all aspects.

Fortunately, this is a high-level magical plane with mythological elements, and the driving force behind all this is otherworldly power, so things can proceed smoothly without any overthrowing or cynical jokes.

The first people to feel this impact were naturally the residents of Argos.

"It's like a dream!"

This is a sentence that almost everyone has been talking about since this month. They have seen with their own eyes that the ruling class is going crazy and wants to transform the entire city, and it actually spends a lot of money to implement it.

Roads were re-planned, complex buildings were bulldozed and rebuilt, steam pipes as complex as spider webs but well-proportioned were laid to every corner of the city, crystal street lamps were erected on both sides of the spacious main road, and various strange machines appeared...

…

Some veterans with disabled hands and feet were replaced with mechanical prostheses that were either cold or ferocious, but whose structures were incredibly sophisticated and all had a unique sci-fi aesthetic. They were revitalized, as if they had started a second life...

…

There are also a variety of magical products. In addition to the unknown and unfamiliar ones, there are also those that are more in line with their cognition and style of painting, such as various valuable books in the past, mass-produced enchanted cold weapons, and mortals' lifetime

Magic potions that may not even be accessible...

It can be said that everything that can be industrialized and mass-produced has quickly entered the right track and become popular and civilian.

It was so beautiful that it was like entering the kingdom of heaven.

And people will never be satisfied. When the people discovered that all this came from the Church of Steam and Machinery, and although they could be exposed to all the beauty, they still had to pay a certain price, but the craftsmen in the church

Naturally, everyone is red-eyed when they can enjoy such benefits as a matter of course.

Why can those out-of-town bumpkins be treated like this!

This is obviously an opportunity for them, the Argos people!

…………

"No matter how many times I watch it, I always feel that the style of painting is so magical..."

Inside the assembly factory, in the highest office, a woman looked condescendingly through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the commotion happening at the door below, and couldn't help but sigh like this.

This is obviously the world of "Clash of the Gods", but now it feels like it has changed beyond recognition.

"What's the point? Isn't this a magical world?"

The captain sat behind his desk, raised his head after hearing this, and said with a smile.

"Don't make trouble, captain, you know what I mean." The woman curled her lips and waved her hand.

All kinds of novelty gadgets are emerging in an endless stream. The changes in Argos in the past month are greater than the changes in the past ten years combined. Inventions and creations such as energy pipelines, mechanical prostheses, cement and steel bars, etc.

Applications seem to be pouring out for free.

The city that once had an ancient Greek feel has now completely transformed into a steampunk style.

There are many chimneys in the distance, emitting thick smoke...

The spacious cement stone slopes and concrete buildings in the civilian area complement each other, setting off the majestic Greek-style palaces belonging to the royal family high above, giving a sense of time and space confusion...

Brass-made pipes are laid at random, steam-powered hubs are steaming, and guards wearing ancient Greek-style armor and weapons and shields, but whose arms or legs may be mechanical prosthetics that reflect the texture of steel, patrol back and forth on the streets.

…

Although it is still just a prototype, they still feel mixed emotions. Of course, the sense of accomplishment is even greater, because strictly speaking, it is all their own handiwork.

The boss is a completely hands-off shopkeeper. He wants resources for resources, technology for technology, and has everything. It is as if the main god has transformed into a human-like power in the space. He can exchange it for unlimited things and get all kinds of things, but...

No matter what happens.

So for more than a month, they were so busy running back and forth that they suddenly achieved such results.

"By the way, Captain, have you made up your mind?" The woman pondered for a moment, turned back to the man, and asked.

During this period of time, she and the other three people had successively exchanged for what they wanted, controlled their rationality well, and did not take risks to try to obtain things beyond their ability to bear... Inside

The water was too deep and they felt they couldn't control it.

The power of that being was completely beyond their imagination, and it seemed that he was no longer an ordinary god or demon. The redemption list he gave included many first-class enhancements from the "Emperor of the Universe" and the "God of All Machines". It seemed that as long as they made up their mind,

, you can reach the sky directly in one step...

But at what cost?

They don't know and don't want to know.

Only the captain has not made up his mind to make a choice. The four team members are all very aware of the entanglement in this man's heart.

The man sighed and grabbed a handful of his hair in pain: "I...I don't know."

Reason and impulse have been fighting against each other these days, and no one can overpower the other. But he knows that the fact that he has been so entangled means that a clear tendency has gradually emerged in his heart, and greed has defeated reason.

Not far away.

Power...

He was extremely thirsty for power, and he had never had such an opportunity before him. It seemed that as long as he signed a contract and handed over his soul, he could get it all.

"Captain, I...I don't know if I should advise you, but..." the woman said hesitantly, "I don't know when the club will come. You have to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise, we will

Lost the initiative..."

"I know..." The man sighed deeply.

It has been a month since the signal was sent out. It seems that nothing happened, but in fact it is just because the time flow rate between worlds is not equal. It is very likely that the support of the society is already on the way.

Generally, a team of core members serves as the vanguard, with a demigod leading the team.

If he did not have sufficient conditions before their arrival, then the development leadership of this world would inevitably change hands.

"and you……"

The woman wanted to continue saying something, but then she noticed some strange atmosphere, like the calm before the storm.

She subconsciously looked out the window, and with the advantage of height, she could clearly see the sea outside the harbor. Suddenly, it turned from calm to turbulent. The sky with the bright sun shining high in the sky was also gloomy and gloomy, and the sun was no longer visible.
To be continued...
