Chapter 1226

On December 30th of the sixth year of Gaia, a system announcement resounded all over the world.

"World Announcement: On the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the operation of "Earth Online", the game will undergo the seventh update, which will take effect immediately. Please log on to the official website to check the details."

...

As soon as the announcement came out, Ouyang Shuo logged into the official website as usual to check the update.

[1] Cancel refugee refresh.

In view of the fact that the global situation has been basically settled, Gaia has decided to cancel the refugee refresh. If the territories want to increase the population, they can only increase their population naturally, and they can only fight abroad.

For a dynasty, population means labor force.

No matter in which era, labor is the foundation of a country's development. Gaia's cancellation of refugee refresh this time will have a greater impact on dynasties with larger territories.

Among them, the Great Xia Dynasty is naturally the most.

Based on the latest territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, the number of refugees refreshed in just one year is close to 100 million. If the refreshment of refugees is canceled, the growth rate of the population of Great Xia will slow down rapidly.

This also means that the dynasty cannot support nearly seven million troops for a long time.

Although Ouyang Shuo was depressed, he couldn't find any flaws in Gaia's move, and the reason was very good. Since it was to make the game world real, BUG operations such as refugee refreshing shouldn't exist.

The territories have also reached a transition stage from blindly pursuing development speed to pursuing quality.

【2】Change the settings of the trial site.

Since the seventh year of Gaia, after the country was destroyed, the players in the country were no longer sent to the trial ground, but received the same treatment as NPCs, either surrendering or defecting to other dynasties.

Such a setting theoretically weakens the difficulty of destroying the country.

The premise is that there is a commonality of civilization between the two countries, otherwise, it will be very difficult.

Gaia's move also made up for the deceleration of population growth caused by canceling the refugee refresh to a certain extent. As long as it is used properly, the huge player group is still an inexhaustible treasure trove of human resources for the territory.

Ouyang Shuo couldn't help guessing, could it be that the legendary trial ground was already full of players from the extinct country, did Gaia cancel this setting?

The place of trials has still not revealed its mystery.

【3】Change the monster lair settings.

The herd of beasts walked out of the lair, instead of rushing out in a swarm, it was likely to establish a fixed territory centered on the lair, and slowly erode the surrounding territory.

This means that monsters will become smarter and harder to deal with.

In the foreseeable future, land boundaries such as Warcraft Forest, Warcraft Mountains, Warcraft Valley, and Warcraft Swamp will soon appear in the wilderness, which will become a major hidden danger.

Similarly, for adventure players, there is one more good place to go.

【4】Open the results of the first industrial revolution.

The restrictions on the skill tree of the first industrial revolution are lifted. On a global scale, as long as they have the corresponding research and development capabilities, they can develop related products and technologies that burst out during that period.

The first industrial revolution started with the birth of the working machine, and was marked by the widespread use of the steam engine as a power machine. The factory system replaced the manual workshop, and the machine replaced manual labor. Transformation of various industries such as railway transportation.

A series of industrial products and technologies, such as looms, steam engines, steam locomotives, steam ships, cotton smashing machines, sewing machines, and tractors, came out one after another.

What Gaia wants to promote is the dissemination of the above technologies, which will transform the wilderness from farming civilization to industrial civilization in one fell swoop, completely subverting and changing the global pattern.

Ouyang Shuo is very fortunate, fortunately, he started to promote the comprehensive industrialization as early as the beginning of the year.

From then on, in addition to war, there will be a round of technological competition and economic competition around the world.

Any lord with a little brain can imagine that as Gaia opens the gates to industrial technology, the skill tree restrictions of the second and even the third industrial revolution will definitely be lifted in the future.

Before that, whichever dynasty has more skilled workers and technical reserves, whichever dynasty can take the lead.

The above four items are the entire content of this round of updates, and no new expansion packs have been released, which indicates that the game world built by Gaia is becoming more and more perfect.

Gaia will also gradually reduce its intervention in the game world and let it evolve.

…………

Shanhai City, the royal palace.

Another year passed, Ouyang Shuo stayed alone in the imperial study, looking back on the year.

Since the Federation disintegrated and Skynet took over everything, although there were two rivals, the Azure Badge and the Silver Hand, Ouyang Shuo let go of the heavy burden in his heart and began to flex his muscles.

Externally, although the province of Morocco fell, Johor, Pyu, the three islands of Java, and Ethiopia were successively captured, and counting Maldives, Hawaii, and Ecuador counties, the results were fruitful.

Internally, it was even more powerful. It successively conquered the Han and Qing Dynasties, subjugated the Jin, Sui, Shu, and Xixia Four Kingdoms, and counting the attachment of Xiongba and Zhanlang, the trend of unifying China is already unstoppable.

The continuous expansion of the territory is the improvement of national power elements such as military strength, population, and resources.

After a year of hard work, Great Xia has made major breakthroughs in both domestic and foreign affairs, initially getting rid of the constraints of the Silver Hand and the Azure Badge, and established a solid rear.

Even so, Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

Gaia's seven years will be a year full of opportunities and challenges, and we need to continue to forge ahead.

Internally, it is necessary to step up the pace of unification and create conditions for optimizing the size of the army; externally, it is necessary to use the African battlefield and the American battlefield as the medium to open the road to global hegemony.

In addition to expansion, internal affairs construction is also a top priority.

How to manage a Nuoda dynasty well and keep it from going off course, Ouyang Shuo has a long way to go.

Especially with the surging wave of industrialization, Great Xia is bound to make changes, mobilize all resources, generate internal power, optimize the industrial structure, and consolidate the foundation of the dynasty.

In addition, with the rise of the new classes and nobles, how to balance the forces of all parties so that they can avoid internal conflicts and unify the outside world is also a huge test for Ouyang Shuo.

Nuo Da's dynasty, the territory is more than ten thousand miles away, and the subjects are hundreds of millions. Ouyang Shuo can't do it, let alone observe the people's sentiments, even if he wants to patrol the territory like before.

What Ouyang Shuo can rely on is Daxia's Civil Service Group and Generals Group.

Department of historical talents, department of aboriginal people, family department, civilian department, aristocratic family department, Han Dynasty department, Tang Dynasty department, foreign relatives department, royal family department, Han nationality department, foreign nationality department, central department department, overseas department...

In the current Great Xia, from the confrontation between the two supergroups, civil and military, down to the duel between different dynasties and provinces, there are factions within factions, factions within factions, intricately woven together into a big net.

Ouyang Shuo is entrenched in the central node of the big network.

Today, Ouyang Shuo is only in his early thirties. Throughout the Chinese dynasties, he is definitely the youngest founding emperor, and also the one with the heaviest burden on his shoulders.

Don't look at Daxia's triumphant progress all the way, Ouyang Shuo sits in the capital, has civil servants to assist him, and military generals to serve him outside, so he can enjoy the glory all by himself, who can understand his hard work.

As long as Ouyang Shuo was in the capital, he would review the memorials almost every day until late at night.

It is by no means an exaggeration to use the four words "walking on thin ice".

Such hard work is not only a rare experience, but also an inescapable responsibility.

Ordinary players, even top players like Bloody Romance, would never imagine that an emperor like Ouyang Shuo would not be on the same level as them.

In other words, they are two completely different worlds.

Ouyang Shuoqiang is not only outstanding in talent, but also tempered day and night in the past six years.

The environment is the most capable of tempering people.

Ouyang Shuo's position is something that countless heroes dream of but can't dream of. It means that Gaia has mobilized a lot of resources in the game world to cultivate Ouyang Shuo's talent.

Hundreds of historical talents, hundreds of millions of subjects, and even a huge group of players can be regarded as Ouyang Shuo's training partner, pushing Ouyang Shuo from a commoner to today step by step.

This is both an opportunity and a steelmaking furnace.

Hardened into steel, only then will it last forever.

Although Ouyang Shuo did not forget his original intention, he still had to shoulder the burden of spreading Chinese civilization to the whole world, making it the source of civilization for the future Hope Planet.

With such a heavy burden, Ouyang Shuo is also a mortal, so naturally he had some fears.

From the fifth year of Gaia, Ouyang Shuo's rebirth advantage no longer existed. He had to work hard, study hard, ponder day and night, and continue to point out the direction for the Great Xia Dynasty.

I am always worried that due to my own decision-making mistakes, I will bring irreparable losses to Daxia.

Outsiders only know that Da Xia is smooth sailing, like God's help, but they don't know that in order to formulate a development strategy for the dynasty, Ouyang Shuo used to suffer from insomnia all night and day and night.

Only his wife, Song Jia, can understand a thing or two.

For this reason, Song Jia has resigned from all external positions, given up her dream of being in the world and entertaining the Pope, willing to be the woman behind Ouyang Shuo, acting as the harem, and creating a small world for Ouyang Shuo to rest.

Husband and wife, love each other.

The road of the emperor has never been just flowers and wine, but more thorns, suffering, loneliness, choice, and everything that abandons personal thoughts.

Just when Ouyang Shuo fell into deep thought, a clear and clear voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Brother!" Like a clear spring, it washed away the dullness in the room.

It's like a ray of sunshine, pouring into Ouyang Shuo's heart, making the corner of his mouth unconsciously reveal a smile.
