episode_0052

Cass began to leisurely and quietly inspect the Jirex territory, guided by Cromelle and closely guarded by knights and soldiers.

However, it seems like we have suddenly moved from the barbaric medieval era to the modern era.

This was the impression I felt while slowly looking at the streets where factory workers live as I pass by before heading to A1, the pilot industrial complex that Cromelle is now introducing.

This place reminds me not of the barbaric Middle Ages but of the modern times of the Victorian era.

“Count Cromelle. This street is very different from the old street near the Teleport Center that I passed through. It seems like the times have really moved forward in an instant.”

“Of course! ‘Revolutionary Workers Street’, where many workers and technicians who commute to the pilot industrial complex A1 live, is completely different from other places in the Girex territory!”

“Casduks. This street is a transportation intersection between numerous future factory sites and is heavily focused on modernization and development. So it has been greatly modernized and is clearly different from other regions. It’s my pride.”

“It is a very modern street because it is a traffic intersection of industrial complexes… . It’s really amazing.”

I see gas street lights and small machines in front of stores that move while emitting steam. And to the extent that electrical engineering has been developed, I was able to pass by a very wealthy building decorated with incandescent lights that were still running on expensive aluminum Leyden jar type batteries.

It’s already incandescent… . It’s probably a low lifespan type that uses a carbon core, right? Still, it’s amazing. This is truly an incredible development.

When magic and superhuman labor come together, the world changes so quickly.

Indeed, the more I wandered around Revolutionary Workers’ Street, the more I was reminded of not the 13th century savage Europe that had not yet experienced the Renaissance, but the budding industrial revolution era of the 18th century.

The streets of the early steam industrial revolution.

Exactly, the Revolutionary Workers’ Street that I was looking around was a wonderful street that had progressed for 500 years in an instant.

“That’s really amazing. It seems like five centuries have passed.”

“Sometimes, when I pass by Revolutionary Workers’ Street to inspect the A1 industrial complex, I suddenly feel as if I have been transported to another world. Kasduks, it really is a very developed street.”

Crom’el nodded loudly at my words.

Revolutionary Workers’ Street, which was a street that was renovated based on the urban planning design brought by Kasduks, was truly a street from a different era.

It was the result of one month of civil engineering work by wizards and adepts, made with money, and modern and contemporary technology.

A truly modernized street.

“But Count Cromelle. Since we are using so much natural attribute energy, is it okay for the spirits to play pranks? A light bulb may suddenly be shattered by a messenger of electricity, or a gas lamp may be exploded by a fire spirit.”

I raised a question about the terrible science marines to Cromelle. Isn’t this street going to explode? Then you can’t do it.

“Don’t they really think of science products only as playgrounds? However, the price of the magic circle is too expensive to apply spirit expulsion liquor to each product.”

“Definitely so. As the lord of a territory, but also a soldier of the Kingdom of Bemes, I was truly displeased with the spirit’s antics. Even though the recipe for that great gunpowder was brought over from the Eastern Continent a long time ago, the reason why we couldn’t put that fire attribute resource to practical use until now was all because of the fire spirit’s mischief! If it were the power of gunpowder, it would have been able to slaughter even the Demon World bastards!”

Suddenly, Crom’el, like me, burst out in anger at the spirit’s prank and then lamented loudly.

That’s the way it is. First of all, it was a gunpowder barrel that was difficult to make like the old Joseon Dynasty because it was the Middle Ages, and it became too expensive to apply expensive spirit exclusion magic circles to each one.

It’s just that wizards’ fireball showers are much cheaper.

“Because of such disgusting spirits, I followed Kasduks’ advice and made sure that only safe non-spirit products that fall below the spirit risk standards set by research institutes were used on the streets. Occasionally, firefighters are dispatched when an accident occurs that illegally exceeds the prescribed risk standards. However, they only like the convenience and increased profits of new science.”

“Fortunately, the streets are well complying with the regular risk standards provided by the data. We ask you to continue to work hard for the safe modernization of our country, Count Cromwell.”

“Yes! Dux! Please leave the Bemes Kingdom modernization test model to me! I will lead my territory as an example of the modernization of my country!”

I was encouraged by the fact that the modernization of the country taking place in the Jirex territory was not deterred by the pranks of spirits and the like.

After all, science always finds a way. If it is an unfeasible science, it is correct to think about whether there is a lack of money or technology.

Moreover, there is no shortage of modern and contemporary knowledge and money, but the headquarters of the revolutionary army that will have a strong influence on the surrounding area cannot be allowed to remain in the same medieval era.

Everyone had to yearn for the revolution.

In that sense, the modernized industry and city of the current Girex territory were natural.

Although the new weapons could give the revolutionary army greater physical strength, it was also possible for brutal invaders and vicious coup forces. It was absolutely impossible to present a sweet economic vision of the future to the people with weapons alone. Unless it’s Hitler’s vindictive fascism.

Therefore, a good revolution had to develop into modernization in all aspects, not only military, but also economic and ideological.

Only by demonstrating the economic vision, which would naturally be admired by numerous forces in Bemes, through modernization methods like now, would it be possible to gain enormous support for the later uprising.

Xiang Yu of the Chu Dynasty, who was merely strong, ultimately failed to become a strong king.

“Really good! I hope that you will calmly turn Jirex Yeongdo into a modernized revolutionary propaganda city like you are now, Count Kromelle. This will be a camouflage for the revolution for the central government, and a blueprint for the future that will automatically support us on the day of the uprising. Ideology, military, and finally economy! If these three things come together, the revolution will be easily accomplished.”

“Yes! We will never neglect private sector development! Dux!”

Crom’el shouted confidently while pounding his big chest.

I wonder if Cromelle’s voice was a little loud.

Or, upon hearing the loud voice of the familiar lord, the street spirits began to look at us.

“I guess the lord has come, is he inspecting again? But that person???”

“It’s Kasduks!!! Dux! It’s Duksushi!!!”

“Monk Dux looked at me for a moment! I’m going to Hellyer’s heaven now! Lord of the sacred relics!”

“Wow! You are the savior of G-Rex territory! Long live Kasduks!”

“Hurray! Revolutionary Taiwan tax! Vivat Revolution!”

Citizens suddenly started to come out and gather to see me.

Oh my, I haven’t even been to A1, the pilot factory complex, yet, but the reason I purposely quietly and secretly inspected it without a carriage was lost due to Cromelle’s loud noise.

“Kasduks! Please look at me! I read Kasduk’s Mein Kampf a lot! Please sign the book!”

“I would like you to sign the hardcover copy of Liberal Nationalism! It’s my life’s wish!”

“Thank you so much for giving me a warm job when I was starving! Kasduks! Long live free nationalism!”

“Dux, Dux, Dux!”

People waved yellow cloths or hats and were enthusiastic about my name and nicknames.

Oh my, my autobiography, Mein Kampf, is a very propaganda autobiography adapted from the original, but did anyone even see that horrible thing? A book of crazy propaganda, like the birth myth of a child not even twenty years old?

Currently, it is not at the level of the terrible German people who faced the Great Depression after their defeat in World War I, but to the residents of the Girex territory who were completely destroyed and starving day after day, Cass was light, salt, and bread.

In addition, his spirit is filled with natural human rights, liberalism, and nationalism. There is no one in the Girex territory who does not love Cass.

But his number one favorite was suddenly hidden behind the knights’ close guard?

He was not like the common Count Kromelle.

Cass regretted not covering his face at all like he did when leaving the teleportation center.

I didn’t really notice it so I thought there wouldn’t be any problem!

Let’s understand that the people are Cass. In order to get a glimpse of the sky, I started clinging to the railings of a five-story tall building newly built with new technology.

“Holy Kasduks! The public’s interest is so great! It will be very late on the way to Area A1!”

The leader of the Girex Territory knights bowed his head to me and expressed his deepest regret and reported that the road was blocked.

“Sorry, Kasduks! Because I was so happy I made a loud noise!”

“No, Count Kromelle. No one knows whether there will be a half-elf spirit with big ears that catches the sound in such a noisy street. So it’s not Count Cromelle’s fault.”

“But. How can I get to the A1 Industrial Complex and the Revolutionary Army Training Center if the roads are so blocked? .”

“Please tell the knights to prepare for the march. Let’s change it to an official visit schedule.”

“Casduks? A sudden march?”

Before answering Crom’el’s question, I recalled the necessary memories and briefly gave Crom’el an order.

“Didn’t you say in yesterday’s discussion that there is a safe two-stroke multi-cylinder engine steam car in a nearby military warehouse? We ride it and have a car parade.”

“No. Hasn’t the embargo on steam cars been lifted yet? Is it a security object?”

“Let’s solve it now. There is no way to get through the crowd like this anyway.”

Looking at the citizens and workers who were almost rioting with enthusiastic revolutionary ideas, I quickly asked Crommel to organize a car parade.

Steam cars were still classified, but now that the rare Platinum Empire International sample machine called Mark Ruger and Hamulost’s top-secret research materials on Mark Ruger are in my hands, considering the level of advanced machines in the future, it is only an early model steam vehicle. The security embargo can now be lifted.

“Bring it quickly! Dux is having a car parade!”

“Old! Play Morse! Signal soldier!”

“Okay! Sir!”

A signal soldier carrying a heavy communications equipment suddenly started using a wireless Morse signal device that generates Morse code magic waves, placed on the floor.

A wireless Morse signal was a very large wireless cell phone-like device that could only transmit Morse code. A highly efficient signal transmission tool created through a combination of electrical engineering and magic.

It was a truly incredible invention, as the equipment was heavy but cheap, sent Morse signals farther than expected, and could be used well even if you were not a wizard.

However, there was a bit of difficulty and adaptation problem of having to memorize the Morse code table.

Even before landline telephones were created, military wireless Morse signals started emitting Morse code in succession with the help of magic.

Tidi- Tidi-tidi- Tidi.

Let the repetition of just two simple notes, short and long, flow,

A few minutes later, an early steam car roars in the distance! It started to come to safety with the help of the flywheel and brakes, emitting steam and smoke.

As expected, unlike the steam cars in history that did not have brakes in the early days, it was really made perfectly.

“Wow! what’s this! The iron block moves on its own!”

“Steam? Is it possible to create a moving iron carriage like this using safe steam energy that is indifferent to spirits that do not require spirit exclusion? An iron carriage that moves on its own without that expensive spirit exclusion magic circle? This is bound to be a lot of money!”

“I’m going crazy! Are these iron wagons coming out of the factory in droves now?”

“Casduks! He is performing a miracle now!”

Through the introduction of the Raivis Grand Prize, merchants who had recently made a lot of money in textile and household goods factories were very surprised by the sudden appearance of steam cars.

At best, I only thought about a significant increase in productivity! A steam car, an iron carriage that runs on steam energy?!

Steam is a wet area where neither the wet water spirit nor the strong wind spirit are interested in each other. As long as the steam spirit that the two of them married did not exist, the steam engine was safe in this world.

Therefore, merchants and technicians with great interest in large-scale power that does not require the expensive power generation unique to steam energy lined this Revolutionary Workers’ Street.

Could it be that steam engines could suddenly be used to create not only mass-produced factory machines, but also golem-like iron carriages?

The numerous merchants and engineers gathered here were very surprised by the sudden appearance of steam cars.

And the people, who were completely immersed in revolutionary ideas, were enthusiastic about Cass, who brought a steam car, waving yellow cloth wildly.

While everyone was surprised, a black steam car in the shape of a cool open car, although the wheels were very large and hard like a monster car due to the bad medieval roads, stopped neatly right in front of me.

“It was really made in the shape I wanted as much as possible. Very old-fashioned yet modern.”

“You really want to ride this and parade?”

“Driver. today. Could I borrow your time?”

“It is a great honor to carry Kasduks and His Excellency Kromel!”

I continued to have trouble trusting steam cars rather than horses, so I forced the clumsy Crommel into the left seat of the open car.

And after I got on the right seat, the car parade began, passing by the surprised spectators who were starting to make way for me.

“Wow! A real iron carriage moves smoothly!”

“Casduks is just waving at me!”

“The knights should move slowly, but do their best to protect them!”

As I proudly received cheers from countless people on the car, I continued to wave to the people on top of the car, feeling the quiet shaking of the car’s suspension, which was completely different from the carriage I had felt in a long time.

“Casduks! Kasduks will take us to a bright future!”

“There is hope and future in the Bemes Revolution!”

“On the way to Kasduks, let’s quickly scatter flower petals!”

“Damn it! Let’s sow all the herb flowers I collected!”

“I just bought a handkerchief from a textile factory!”

On the way to my steam locomotive, there were people throwing flower petals, colorful factory handkerchiefs, and even their own small colorful clothes on the floor.

If this wasn’t a steam car with huge wheels like a monster car, it might be dangerous due to impurities on the road.

They said that later, they would definitely teach people to sprinkle at least flower petals on the road as a sign of welcome.

However, for now, he quietly accepted the cheers of many brightly smiling Youngmin. Since it was a time when there was no compulsory education yet, there was no reason to suddenly become angry at the citizens.

Cromelle also had a bright smile on his face, but along with me, he waved enthusiastically to the people and responded to their cheers.

Strangely enough, Kass didn’t like the car parade that suddenly appeared in broad daylight on the way to the factory, so he laughed a little.
