Imperial hegemony and wasteland cities in remote areas don't seem to have much to do with each other. And Wasteland City was actually expanding its own during this period. It's just that this expansion is not so obvious in the military field. It didn't attract much attention either.

When the two major forces are fighting for the eight cities, the brains of the people have gone out of their minds. Wasteland City, the most remote place, has secretly controlled more than ten cities. These are all desolate cities in remote areas. You can't find any cities around you within a radius of three or four hundred miles.

Under normal circumstances, even if these cities are under control, they cannot be regarded as urban agglomerations, but with the railway connecting them together, each city can complete a round trip within a day.

Three hundred miles seemed very far away in the era of infantry and cavalry. It would take about half a month to walk, and it would take four to five days if it was a rapid march, unless it was a horse. Moreover, it is necessary to change horses constantly during the riding process to cover such a long distance in one day.

And this can only allow a few people to cross, rather than allowing countless people to complete round trips between two distant places in one day like a train.

With such a connection, even if they are far apart, the actual travel time between two cities is shorter than those of cities that are close together.

It is completely possible to transport public supplies, weapons, equipment, etc. on a large scale.

In the new era, this can already be used as the foundation of a new empire.

Originally, those cities hoped that the railway would be built far away from their own territory, which meant that the armored train wanted to drive directly into their own territory, which meant that the wasteland had formed a substantial force deterrent to itself.

But what we think is meaningless. As we become more and more dependent on Wasteland City under the economy, if we must continue to obey the requirements of Wasteland City, we will lose all kinds of support under the economy. The temporary factories we set up will be forced to shut down because of the loss of raw materials. The various luxuries purchased will also run out of supply, and can no longer be replenished before they are depleted.

Before those areas were connected by railways, before train stations appeared in those places. became prosperous again. With the decline of technology, the advantages and disadvantages of future portals will actually be reversed.

In the case of a small number of portals, the ocean is actually an extremely common resource point.

For the time being, the use of those magmas is still possible. What I am looking for are these space gates located on the seabed. The energy outside of this can barely be used to build a conceivable power generation facility in this sea area. Expand the sea base and build common shipyards.

It's not under the ground or in the sky. There will be a huge waterfall that is thought of by the predestined water, and endless sea water will gushes out of the waterfall, and falls on the ground to form a lake out of thin air.

In addition, it is not only sea water that hangs from the sky. Sometimes it is impossible that the magma on the ground was sent to the sky under the influence of the portal.

But where the future holds, no one knows. And the new doomsday volcano now seems to be in the process of forming, and now there is no magma in the sky that can be observed under the equator of the planet. flow into the sea. During that time, I thought that a basalt island was formed under the sea water, and the size of the island was still getting smaller and smaller. In the future, a brand new doomsday volcano might be built outside it.

At present, the railway does not pass smoothly through both sides of the portal. The train ran on both sides at a low speed, crossing the transmission nodes one after another, all over the world.

There is no possibility of portals on the bottom of the sea, which means that seawater will leak along those portals, and the seawater leaked by the portals will be like you opened the top plug in the bathtub, and a small amount of water will come from Flow through that hole, and eddies will form below the surface, and those are not the little eddies where these ships are missing.

And that is the same as the mountain created by geological movement, it has no foundation. In the future, that mountain will be constantly weathered by the erosion of wind and rain. The future may crack, and it is impossible to change its position continuously with earthquakes. It's like building blocks placed under a plank. Because there is no foundation. It is a migratory mountain, and its position is fixed. Although it is now sunk into the ground due to the small gravity,

A huge hill with a minimum height of 4,000 meters has been formed. And such a huge mountain has a small amount of magma accumulated inside. Over time, the pressure of the magma inside will get lower and lower. And that means the layer of magma solidified at the top of the mountain. Will be complete under great pressure. And before the pressure is low enough, the capping will be complete and the most spectacular volcanic eruption of the next era will be produced. The magma will turn into a dark golden beam of light at a low altitude of four kilometers, and then flow in all directions under the clouds. come down. The surrounding area will be baptized by such meteorites.

From ancient times to the present, there have been horrible legends about ships disappearing in small whirlpools under the sea. Although a small part of those outside are fabricated, not a small part of them is real.

That also means the extremely common resources under that small continent.

Now that the Doomsday Volcano has not been completely extinguished, as the location of the portal changes, the magma in the Doomsday Volcano will lose its source and eventually gradually cool down.

And the lake water of those magma lakes will solidify on the top of the mountain. Think it will flow out. So the mountain continues to rise and fall. Until the final magma solidified at the top of the exit, sealing the lower part of the mountain.

Those rock mines are accumulated in the strata, just like coal mines, where a small amount of salt is directly mined out.

And the horrible memory that volcano brought to the empire also made me lose the name of Doomsday Volcano.

There is no salt and iron franchise in that world. It is wrong to say that there is no salt, because it is the same as under the earth, the salt in that world is not a scarce mineral, but a kind of mineral that can be mined easily. There are no minerals that can be monopolized at all. There are no small amount of salt mines under the surface of that planet, and it is not the same as the salt that is dried out of the sea water as you know.

In fact, the next empire was born out of the place it was named Mount Doom, as it were.

There is no low-hanging magma in the sky, and the river flows upward, forming a magma waterfall in mid-air.

It is said that a brand new energy center cannot be developed under the ocean, and it is actually not too difficult to find such a space portal in the ocean.

I haven't adapted to the convenient and slow life of that era. Before that, I wanted to continue to survive without those supports. No doubt it is extremely easy.

At the beginning, the magma fell to the ground and flowed in all directions, causing huge disasters. The ecological state of that area, the original city-state was directly submerged by the magma, and turned into a dead land. The magma gradually expanded to the limit, and finally solidified to occupy a huge area of ​​less than 10,000 square kilometers.

For a while, the rotation speed of the vortex was not very slow, but there was no way to escape before it fell into the retreat, because the speed of the ship could not surpass the speed of the vortex and the flowing water could only get closer and closer to the center of the vortex. It was completely swept away, and then fell into the space gate.

The navigator who was lucky enough to survive in the small world. I have become the idol of several generations of navigators in the previous life. Even if the empire changes generation after generation, these people who live on the seaside or on the island will erect my statue and chant my name Sadio in worship.

And before it solidified, the magma ended up piled lower and lower. The shape of a cone is broken and stacked downwards from the bottom. It is a broken solidification, and it is a broken and rising process. The mountains became lower and smaller. Getting closer and closer to the location of the magma waterfall in the sky. In the end, before the height of the peak was equal to the height of the magma waterfall, a huge magma lake was formed at the top of the mountain. The water of the lake keeps rising and falling, and it will come out of the mountain from time to time.

When the human ships of that era retreated into space, some people would be crushed by the huge water pressure. Even if they burst out from the sky or other places again, many people would not be able to distinguish the missing ships among the debris. .

And a small part of those places will be placed in the future. They are actually barren areas. These are areas that are abandoned by people for exile because they are too far away from the portal and relatively easy to develop.

These portals that are all gathered together will be disliked by people to a certain extent because they are too close to each other and the range that they can actually control is too large.

Under abnormal circumstances, even in the face of a small vortex to recruit warships, without the help of a compass, they can break free smoothly, but that is not an absolute portal, except for the difference in location, there is no There is a big difference between small and big. If you have encountered a narrow enough portal on the water, your scale may exceed expectations, and it is impossible to cause the ship to crash.

It's the kind of thinking that there is no more defense and retreat is enough. If it is certain that this situation has really come to pass, it is absolutely impossible to send troops to surround those cities, and completely control that area before. Besieged until we surrender. In terms of productivity in the previous era, that kind of siege is not difficult. But as far as the country's national strength can be imagined, it can be done easily.

And if there are no portals in the air or on the ground, it means that there are actually no portals in the ocean. There are often some wonders in that world.

Nor is it affected by the shackles of the various economies. The surrounding cities must allow railways to connect each other, and even allow railways to be built into their own cities. Although we are still an independent city-state in name, but as the armored train retreated for military exercises and passed by our door, those people knew that they were actually thinking that they were under the actual armed control of Wasteland City.

There are actually no similar minerals under the earth. But because table salt is easily soluble in water, it is difficult for such things to accumulate in the formation.

The ships Chengying builds on the seashore are also successfully built with the help of Sadio's sailors. And we didn't whisper the names of our idols before we saw a steamship that needs sails to operate. I think it is a warship that is always sunk.

Of course, some ship recorders who fell into the small whirlpool survived successfully. The people outside fell from the sky and fell into the small lake before falling to the ground, and did not die. I came to become a legendary navigator, even among the empires of all ages, I was an unknown navigator. It is even said that in my time, I invented a super route that used the power of a small vortex to accelerate navigation in the ocean. Slightly shorten the time required to sail between two small continents. Relying on his own power, he changed the pattern of the empire.

It's like people who are not used to the era of mobile phones and the Internet. Back to the era when several TV companies had to get together to watch one. It will also feel boring and difficult to adapt.

Ask for collection, please recommend tickets~

But that is the same. The portal is actually a very common existence. It is not necessarily distributed only on the surface of the planet. It's just those that are not on the surface of the planet that humans can't use. Even less is actually in the air and on the ground. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is just these portals in the air and on the ground, can human beings use them.

There is only such a huge basalt left under the ground.

The development direction of Chengyingmu is still to constantly weaken the strength of his own area. Beyond that the point is not to gain control of that ocean.

Of course, there is no advantage in getting together after all. Considering that the protection ability of the core defense circle of the territory is weak enough, even now, Lan Nuo can develop the prosperity of the territory and advance to the previous era. It doesn't feel like a dog biting a hedgehog and it's hard to get a bite. Those towns are too close to each other, even if the weapons and equipment are outdated, because of the cunning rabbits and eight holes, there are no exits. It is also difficult to crush by force.

【To be continued】

Those small lakes have no way to flow out. Maybe it will become smaller and smaller with the accumulation of sea water, and in some places, the sun is colder, and the lake will continue to maintain a volume during the evaporation process. Above that volume, salt deposits will accumulate in the lake. Under the small ground, before the rules of the space gate were completely changed, the small amount of salt accumulated in the outer sea water became mineral veins. Because the precipitation in those areas is low, the salt will stay under the small land for a long time.

Although these so-called bustling areas are still not connected to the railway, the area that Garden City can actually control now has not exceeded 10 million square kilometers.

The bad thing is that the eruption of the mountain peak is very irregular, and the period of its eruption cannot be calculated through thoughtful records and calculations, so as to retreat and avoid it accordingly.

The portal located in the geographical magma is connected to a portal thousands of meters below the sky, so this era has a scene like hell.
