Chapter 143

Most of the populace had needed to pay a hefty fee just to use the Communicators in the public facility, but now they could use it at an affordable price and in the comfort of their own homes too

And the Department of Supplies announced that with an extra fee, they would add the broadcast function to the Communicator

Everyone was oblivious to what that meant, as they were simply in awe of the communication function alone But the few curious individuals that purchased it realised the true advantages of the broadcast function

The Co to other people It only took a day or two for everyone to have called other people to chat, leaving theap hat the broadcast function filled

The very first broadcast progra on the current state of the Empire’s Royal Family, recorded in history as the very first news broadcast within the Ee of media

There weren’t any proper television shows, let alone ardless, the Eoal at one Communicator per household

It was the airshi+p that served an integral part in supplying all these Communicators, and Isaac was honestly baffled at first as to when they designed such a meticulous plan And he was even more so ile hurdle orthe process

Up until this point, Isaac simply wondered why the Empire was so desperate to proceed with this Isaac siht that maybe that’s how much of a threat the Expeditionary Forces seemed at first But soon, Isaac realised that he had been stabbed square in the back

In the previous world, it took an immense amount of funds, materials, and time to construct railroads But in this world, it was too easy to a fault

All they needed to say ill you donate this land for the Emperor?’ to acquire the lands necessary for railroads

Co their land was the greatest reward

There was not even a notion of standing ground or negotiating to get a larger coh, if anyone even attempted, the Arc Royale would compensate them with a broken back instead

Rails? That was even simpler There was no need to line up steel like in the previous world All they needed izards capable of using earth ic

A wizard would be deployed to their spot designated by a surveyor, and the wizard would use ic on the spot

Then, the earth would rise to forether, and the railroad netas completed

The sa out

Creating the Grand Canal was an astronomically expensive exception because it needed to be of an ialley and a h for a train was akin toa small hole in theconstraints were reduced to be almost incomparable to that of the old world

All of this was thanks to ic

When this revelation hit Isaac, he threw the glass of wine out his hand in sheer frustration

“Are you joking with ? You thinkrailroads really that easy? I understand that they’ve been preparing this for a long time, but are you serious that it only took one month to create a railroad network in the Middle Province with Gabelin at its centre? All your fears and complaints about the Expeditionary Force—you were all just crying wolf, right?”

The reason behind Isaac’s anger was that the more active trains became, the less value airshi+ps would have Airshi+ps couldn’t even compete with trains in terms of sheer volume of transportation

The airshi+p’s only advantage over the train was the shortened travel tiinwith rules they loved soairports well away fro them less convenient coh it

In terms of the cost, airshi+ps unfortunately were more expensive than trains

It was quite clear which transportation iven that airshi+ps only boasted of just cohow quickly the railroads were created, airports would likely follow a similar timeframe And once airplanes appeared, the airshi+p’s only advantage would disappear

The reason why airshi+ps couldn’t become commercialized in the old world was exactly this They couldn’t coainst planes in terms of speed, nor could they remotely compete with trains in terms of volume And Isaac was about to repeat history

Isaac didn’t monopolize airshi+ps just to use theeted at the richest nobles

“I should have knohen they immediately accepted my concession of shares! I’ve been had! At this point, the development of supply chains for other businesses will hasten too… I guess they are prepared to leave the stragglers behind”

Hued much quicker than the old system could adapt, there would be some ould try to revert back to the old systees

“At this point, I’ll need to make a new plan… I don’t understand this What is the Directorate of Surveillance doing? Don’t they know the non-hu out on this?”

The da back the flood of civilization was broken, and it eeping across the continent

Hues in environment, but they were also the quickest to adapt to their new environ lifespans and reclusive nature in their reservations would face a harder ties, unlike humans And in the name of tradition, they would withdraw even further to try tothat would happen in the meanwhile would create a disparity in the level of civilization, thus destroying the balance

All that awaited the non-humans were extinction, slavery, or doht each other on the basis of a different skin color They wouldn’t hesitate to fight non-humans clearly weaker than them

And the non-humans should be well aware of this fact, which hy it was puzzling why they sih and looked at New Port City’s main street

Because the entertainy, new Communicator screens were already installed on rabbed the eyes of passers by and stopped them in their tracks
