Chapter 269: The destruction of the two territories.
The crystal ball emits a soft glow, slightly illuminating the dimly lit interior in the night.
A figure appeared under the light, it was Gu Mi.
She stood on the glowing crystal ball suspended in mid-air barely, and gently covered it with a probing hand, and then felt a strong suction coming from within, instantly sucking her figure in.
space transformation.
When Gu Mi got her feet on the ground again, she was not surprised to find herself standing in front of the Dwarf King again.
This time the dwarf king is not like before, he looks very old and weak, his hair and beard have all turned silver, and his originally short but extremely muscular body has shrunk into a thin old man.
At this moment, he should have almost reached the end of his life, and even standing in front of Gu Mi seemed powerless.
"Heir..."
The dwarf king raised his head and looked at Gu Mi with a pair of eyes that seemed cloudy, but still shrewd: "Congratulations, you have successfully passed my test, as my only heir, except for my country. , I will leave everything I have to you."
He raised his hand tremblingly, and spread out the dry palm that had been clenched into a fist towards Gu Mi, on which lay a small small Small, glass bead-sized crystal balls.
Gu Mi recognized that this was a miniature version of the big crystal ball outside.
"Thank you."
Gu Mi, who had already experienced this, stretched out his hands respectfully and took the small crystal ball given by the dwarf king.
When the small crystal ball touched her palm, the figure of the dwarf king and the small crystal ball in front of her instantly collapsed into countless crystal dust. When the dust dispersed, what was revealed was what she had seen before...
—— The Dwarf King's Treasury!
Here is a collection of the life savings of the Dwarf King, with countless high-level and powerful equipment and weapons, as well as many casting books, experience, and a large number of treasured ore veins!
Note, it's veins, not even just ore.
But a strip of mine.
Among them, there are 53 large-scale energy gem mines, not to mention other ore veins. With them, maybe in the ore veins, I hope that the territory will be richer than the rich and powerful territories.
Gu Mi has always been adhering to the principle that good things are not used, it is a waste of time, so as soon as she gets these ore veins, she directly takes them out and places them in the industrial area of her own territory.
With the development and expansion of their territory, the industrial area has now become the second densely populated area after the residential area. The commercial area is not counted. There are many floating populations there, and everyone does not mainly live there. .
On the contrary, due to the need to work in the industrial area for a long time, and the later period of the territory became too large, it took too long to travel back and forth from the residential area to the industrial area, so many workers and their families moved there to live there.
There are more people, and naturally it will gradually develop there.
Nowadays, there is even a small commercial area in the industrial area, which appears to meet the daily shopping needs of people there.
With the blessing of the dwarf king's treasure house, I hope the development of the territory can be regarded as entering a rapid stage. Basically, new things appear every day, or new buildings, or new technological products, or new weapons, equipment and so on.
Of course, the new population is naturally indispensable.
During this period, although there were no major global disasters, various small disasters continued in various places.
For example, the Hope Territory has experienced acid rain, earthquakes, etc.
Fortunately, everyone is quite experienced in this, and the territory has been preparing for various disasters, so whenever they face a disaster, although they are not without damage, they at least survived tenaciously.
Before you know it, half a year has passed.
It is August, and the Hope Territory has ushered in a new round of bumper harvests.
Today's harvest season is no longer the same as it used to be, and it is necessary to dispatch all the people of the territory to complete the harvest of the entire agricultural area.
It only takes a small number of farmers to drive a new energy harvester to complete the harvesting of a large field in an extremely fast time.
After harvesting, the grain is transported to the grain drying yard by transport trucks. There are many large machines running rumbled, threshing machines threshing grains, noodle grinding machines grinding noodles...
The machines that perform their duties seem to interact with each other. Do not interfere, in fact work in cooperation with each other.
Part of the harvested grain will then flow to the market inside the territory, and the other part will be stored as the territory's war reserve.
Most of the residents have no feeling that the new food is on the market.
After all, nowadays every household is not short of grain. If it is not for people who are engaged in this industry, or if they pay special attention, they really do not know whether they are eating the grain produced in the previous season or the grain produced in this season.
However, with the support of sufficient food, the development of the territory is more and more prosperous to the naked eye.
The most notable change is certainly the population.
Now the total population of the Hope Territory has exceeded 100 million, of which 55% are ordinary citizens and 45% are soldiers (including reserve soldiers).
In other words, I hope the territory has more than 40 million soldiers!
And those ordinary people are not really ordinary.
Among them, those who can go directly to the battlefield occupy most of them, and a small number of people are really not able to participate in the war, and they also have a certain ability to protect themselves.
They can't beat the enemy, but they can protect themselves.
Therefore, the route that Gu Mi planned for their territory at the beginning was all soldiers, and now it is basically realised.
But over time, other territories, including the Hope Territory, whether survivors or Aboriginal, have discovered a heart-pounding and complicated matter.
The population growth rate of their territories has slowed down, and many territories have even begun to experience negative growth.
And the root cause of this phenomenon is horrifying, because...
no one is there anymore.
These three words do not have any other meaning. It is exactly as it expresses. Because of the frequent occurrence of various disasters and large-scale wars in many places, the population of the world has dropped sharply.
Therefore, the growth rate of the foreign population in each territory has slowed down, or even not increased at all, and there will be a regression phenomenon as the original population of their own territory leaves or dies.
After the discovery of this problem, the world gradually began to have some bad guesses.
Some say the world is going to end.
Some people also say that the end has come a long time ago, and many people have died, but those who are alive are still fighting fearlessly.
Some people say that...
...
until now, most people who are in hindsight don't realize what kind of ordeal their world is going through.
However, do you think this will stop the war?
No, they fought harder.
In order to snatch resources and obtain opportunities for survival, many forces have participated in various wars, not only the aborigines, but also the survivors are actively or passively involved.
I hope that a target with such a large territory will naturally not be able to escape.
Fortunately, Gu Mi has specified the correct route for the development of the territory from the very beginning. In the face of a territory full of soldiers, there is simply no force that can shake them.
And they have other allies.
But war is cruel and ruthless, and some territories can be preserved in it, but naturally some cannot.
The super-territory was destroyed directly because of this.
Taking advantage of the war, they invaded several small-town-level aboriginal territories one after another. Who knew that the lord of one of them was the prince of a certain big kingdom. As a result, he spit it back as he ate it, and even lost money. own territory.
However, Gu Mi received the news that the Harmony Firm secretly probed, and knew that there was actually a shadow of the Paradise Territory behind the collapse of the Super Territory.
They took this to swallow most of the super territory.
He also removed himself cleanly, leaving no evidence behind. Now the original group of people in the super-territory still regard Medelke as their saviour.
If there were people lurking in the other party who were inadvertently assigned tasks related to this matter, they would not have been able to detect the news.
Also involved in various wars are the democratic territories.
The democratic territories are also unlucky, and they obviously have no intention of participating in the war, but their territory is not very well positioned, and they are sandwiched between several major powers.
In the era of peace, this is a feng shui treasure land. It is stuck in the middle of the transportation hubs of various countries. It is very suitable for developing economic trade or tourism, and it is easy to make a lot of money.
But once it comes to the era of war, this is a completely unfortunate place.
Those big powers fight each other, and the first one will point the finger at the democratic territory. Almost whoever occupies this place first will be able to take the lead in the battlefield.
Fortunately, the democratic territories are not vegetarians. Facing the covets of various countries, they directly slapped them all and barely kept their territory.
But they were also devastated by it.
Seeing that their own territory was about to endure, their lord Song Wenchao simply sighed and made the same choice as Emilia before.
Abandon the lordship, disband the territory, and divide your own territory into three, one part is merged into the Hope Territory, some is merged into the Prosperity Territory, and the other is merged into the Civilization Territory.
This arrangement is based on the idea that eggs cannot be placed in the same basket. If something happens to one of the territories, at least another part of them will exist in other territories.
In return for thanking the original residents of their territory, Song Wenchao naturally divided the buildings, resources, and property of their territory into three, and dedicated them to the three territories respectively.
In addition, three lord-level items were also given to them, hoping that the territory would get its territory core.
After arranging everything, Song Wenchao himself went to the civilized territory.
Gu Mi once sent him an invitation.
But the other party may have seen that the management system of the Hope Territory has developed more maturely, and there is no room for him to intervene, so he simply went to the newly built Civilized Territory to seek new development.
In immature territory, there are always more opportunities.
Knowing what the other party thinks, and also understands the truth that everyone has their own aspirations, so Gu Mi, who was rejected, felt nothing. He only promised that if the other party had any difficulties, they would be willing to help.
Gu Mi always admires such a great person who can give up everything for the sake of the people.
The Hope Territory has received more than 10 million people from the Democratic Territory in one go, but due to their large territory, they have not reached the saturation of the population capacity, and there are even large vacancies.
So when these people from the Democratic Territory entered their territory, it was like pouring a glass of water into a pond.
There was a little splash, but it quickly disappeared.
However, in order to better accommodate this large group of people, Gu Mi still added a lot of buildings to his territory.
Some of them came from democratic territories.
Because the technology in the democratic territories has developed quite well, when Gu Mi wanted people, he deliberately poached a group of top scientific research talents, including many talents in various fields.
She was quick and ruthless, and even the civilized territories that were geographically closer to the democratic territories than the Hope Territories were one step behind, not to mention the prosperous territories.
No way, who said that the Hope Territory has a large teleportation array that communicates with the Democratic Territory?
Moreover, when the democratic territories encounter difficulties, they hope that the territories will help them behind their backs, so that they can protect themselves from the covetousness of various countries and counteract the other side.
Otherwise, the Democratic Territories would not dedicate their most people and most precious resources to the Hope Territory.
Because this is the reward.
