If using emerging technology to demonstrate is a difficult proposition, it is even more difficult to let others see the substantial progress brought about by this progress. And more importantly, any demonstration of technology must have a basis for comparison.
For example, people who live in the age of letter writing would naturally be shocked by the method of being able to instantly make a phone call and transmit information across thousands of miles.
The same goes for movies. In an era when there were only photographs and novels to appreciate, seeing moving pictures would of course make people jump in fear.
If humans have never seen birds flying, they naturally will not be able to understand the value and significance of the existence of airplanes.
However, what can a crystalline chip and guide plate that are many times faster and smaller than modern systems do?
If it were in Founder's world, people would immediately start imagining driverless cars, faster computer speeds, better graphics cards, more automation and intelligent technology, etc. However, in this world that is still in the era of guided power industry, this kind of informatization is a bit too advanced.
It's like it's England during the first industrial revolution, and people are talking about steam engines and trains and all kinds of mechanical equipment, and then you bring in a tablet from 2020.
It was just a dull moment.
However, Fang Zheng was not completely helpless in this regard. He quickly gave an idea to the workshop manager Madok. After hearing Fang Zheng's idea, the workshop manager Madok was immediately ecstatic and eager to get to work.
Fang Zheng also took this opportunity to start the modification work of the Starlight Technology Guided Workshop.
After referring to the layout of Estell's house, Fang Zheng bought a piece of land at the intersection of Torrant Plain Road and built a manor villa-style building. This place is well connected and has convenient transportation. Not only can you quickly go to Chase City, you can also go to the nearby Almo Village to soak in hot springs, which is very comfortable.
As for the Orbital Workshop in Chase City, Fang Zheng directly converted it into a large video game entertainment city, which was basically the same as the large electronic entertainment cities in modern shopping malls, and it was also renamed "Starlight Entertainment City"... Well, considering the psychological trauma of the little ones, Fang Zheng was not going to use the word "paradise".
After the reconstruction, the entire Starlight Entertainment City was built to imitate the castle in Disneyland. Of course, due to the limited land area and the small population of Chase, Fang Zheng only built a miniature three-story castle-style building with the five big cartoon-style characters "Starlight Entertainment City" hung on the outside.
This time Fang Zheng has learned his lesson. Why use the name "Conduction Workshop"? Just call it an indoor playground!
When you use the Guided Workshop, a bunch of people think it’s some kind of hardware or appliance. It’s better to simply tell you that it’s for entertainment!
Not only that, this time Fang Zheng also dragged the Qiyao Church onto the pirate ship.
As we all know, games, especially electronic games, are easily associated with addiction. Children are not mentally stable, so they are easily deceived. Fang Zheng wants to develop sustainable development. He is not one of those unscrupulous black Internet cafe and arcade owners who take advantage of children and don't care whether their money is their own New Year's money or stolen.
But how to avoid this situation?
It’s very simple, just find a third party to supervise!
The Seven Stars Church was in charge of the "public elementary schools" of the entire Semlia continent, so Fang Zheng naturally found them and proposed a cooperation request - he hoped that the Seven Stars Church could send people to the entertainment city to supervise those children to prevent them from losing their ambition due to playing around. In return, Starlight Technology would donate 10% of the entertainment city's income every year to the Seven Stars Church's local welfare organization.
The Qi Yao Church would naturally not refuse such a good thing, so the two parties signed the cooperation agreement quite smoothly.
At the same time, Fang Zheng also attacked from all sides and began to look for partners - or franchisees - in various cities within the Kingdom of Liberl.
After all, Starlight Technology is just a small workshop. For now, Founder has no intention to build it into a large international enterprise. Therefore, the form adopted by Founder is - chain franchising!
For this purpose, Founder even spent money to place an advertisement in Liber Communications. Basically, what it said was that Starlight Technology was recruiting partners to open Starlight Entertainment Cities in various cities. Starlight Technology would provide them with various amusement equipment, and all the other party needed to do was to manage the local entertainment city and provide annual reports.
Of course, this kind of recruitment actually has many loopholes and may be exploited by people with ulterior motives.
But the problem is... Fang Zheng has "Whispering Banner"!
Since this business model was quite new, and Fang Zheng had also raised the banner of Chase Central Workshop and the Seven Lights Church, and this business model only required the other party to provide land and manpower, and the rest was all borne by the Starlight Technology headquarters, so for a while, applications flew into the mailbox of Starlight Technology like snowflakes.
For these applications, Founder's solution is also very simple.
Open "Whispering Announcement" and look them up one by one according to the name.
In front of the "Whispering Banner", the backgrounds, motivations, and affiliations of these applicants were clearly presented to Fang Zheng. He did not even need to conduct face-to-face inspections or communicate in a double-faced manner. He could directly see what the goals and ideas of these applicants were.
Some people wanted to prove their abilities, some thought it was a good opportunity, and some were attracted by the reputation and credibility of the Chase Central Workshop and the Seven Lights Church. Of course, there were also some who tried to take advantage of the situation, some were spies from various countries, and some were intelligence personnel...
Well, it seems that Liberl’s technical information has indeed been discovered by other countries. This is normal, otherwise these intelligence personnel would be just eating for nothing.
However, for Fang Zheng, the next period of time will be very painful. As the only person in charge of Starlight Technology, he can only run around to sign contracts and agreements, and at the same time investigate the actual situation in the local area. This is very painful for Fang Zheng. If he can bring a few Kuang San here, maybe it will be better...
Unfortunately, it is useless to think about these things now. Moreover, after what happened at the third coordinate point, Kuang San kept a close eye on her clone and no longer allowed a second thieving cat to appear.
Today is just an ordinary day for Fang Zheng.
"The welfare facilities of the Qiyao Church should be in front."
Halfway through the journey, Fang Zheng couldn't help but yawn. He now understood that on the continent of Semlia, although each country held political power, if you wanted to influence the people, you still had to go through the Guerrilla Association and the Seven Stars Church.
Of course, strictly speaking, the Guerrilla Association is a stopgap measure, and its birth was accidental. Fang Zheng believes that with the continued development of various countries, the Guerrilla Association will sooner or later withdraw from the stage of history.
But the Seven Lights Church was different. Although Fang Zheng knew that there were many things that could not be said directly within the Seven Lights Church, they were the spiritual leaders of the people of the Semlia Continent after all. Cooperation with them would bring more benefits than disadvantages. So now whenever Fang Zheng went to a place to discuss business, he would first visit the welfare facilities of the local Seven Lights Church and then donate some money - this way, it would be pleasant to deal with the local Seven Lights Church leaders.
"Hmm... Shion's house should be here."
Fang Zheng has been to many welfare facilities. To put it bluntly, these are orphanages built by the Seven Lights Church, which specifically take in children who have been abandoned or lost their parents. Basically, the conditions of these welfare facilities are similar. The houses are old and most of them rely on self-sufficiency to survive. Obviously, this is also due to insufficient funds.
"Um?"
However, when the welfare facilities appeared in front of Fang Zheng not far away, he stopped and looked forward in confusion.
Although they were far away, Fang Zheng could still see two fully armed men wearing black combat armor and helmets with their faces covered, standing at the entrance of the welfare facility.
Fang Zheng is very familiar with this kind of dress. Isn't this the hunting corps?
What are they doing here?
Fang Zheng stopped and stared at the welfare facility with its doors tightly closed in the distance. He was very familiar with the Hunter Corps, but these guys usually wouldn't take action unless they were paid a lot of money. But now, they actually came here to attack a welfare facility of the Seven Lights Church?
Are you out of your mind? It's unclear whether there is money in this welfare facility. Besides, this is a facility of the Seven Lights Church. If you hit the church in the face, will they let you go?
But no matter what, now that I'm here and have seen it, I can't let it go.
Because of Fei, Fang Zheng had no favorable impression on the Hunter Corps. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes, looked at the fully armed Hunters, and then lightly snapped his fingers.
The next moment, flames suddenly erupted, covering Fang Zheng's entire body. Then, the man wearing a black windbreaker, a wide-brimmed hat, holding a broadsword and a pistol appeared again.
Next, it’s hunting time.
For the hunters standing guard at the door, they didn't even feel how the crisis came. The dark sword blade fell from the sky and turned the two people into corpses in an instant. It was not until Fang Zheng stretched out his foot and kicked the door open that the two bodies sprayed with blood fell to the ground.
At this moment, in the small orphanage, there were continuous roars and cries. Several children were curled up behind the two nuns, crying non-stop. The few hunters who were in charge of guarding them obviously didn't like the crying of these children and were scolding them loudly.
The loud noise when the door was kicked open attracted everyone's attention. Even the crying child closed his mouth in fear. Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the door.
Then, they saw a figure wearing a black windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat standing quietly at the door. Blood was dripping from the blade of the black sword in his hand to the ground. Behind him were two corpses lying in a pool of blood.
"black?!"
However, when they saw the man in front of them, the expressions of several hunters suddenly changed.
Although in other fields, the assassin Hei was not very famous, and with his "retirement", the legend of Hei gradually became just a legend. However, it was not the case for the people of the Hunter Corps. The God of War Balder was a top figure in the Hunter Corps. Hei killed him as he said, and even chopped off his head and sent it back. Although Hei no longer accepted orders after that, there were also rumors that he was injured in the battle with the God of War Balder and needed to find a place to recuperate.
But no matter what, for the Hunter Corps, the name Hei was like a ghost in a nightmare - no one wanted to see him appear.
But he just showed up.
How did he get here?!
“Hurry up!!”
Seeing the dark figure in front of him, the leading hunter shuddered and shouted hastily. Then he saw the other hunters raised their guns and pulled the trigger at Fang Zheng.
Suddenly, a torrential rain of bullets flew out and shot towards Fang Zheng. At the same time, another hunter in the back also grasped his guide device tightly and began to prepare to launch a magic attack.
But Fang Zheng's speed was faster than they thought.
Bullets flew and hit the wall, the ground, and the door. At the same time, Fang Zheng appeared behind the hunters. He kicked out the hunter who was about to use the guide magic. Then he swept his sword with his backhand, and two more hunters fell to the ground.
The last hunter, seeing that the situation was not good, hurriedly tried to reach out and grab the nun next to him as a hostage. However, before he could hold the nun's hand, a whistling black sword flew directly towards him, pierced through his body, and nailed him to the wall behind him.
Fang Zheng clapped his hands, then looked at the nuns and several children not far away. At this moment, they were still pale and seemed to have not recovered from the attack just now.
"Are you all right?"
"Thank you very much, sir. We are fine... Thank you..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's question, one of the older nuns answered hurriedly, and at this moment, a boy hiding behind her suddenly poked his head out and looked at Fang Zheng.
"Please save Liz, she's been captured by these bad guys!"
"Captured?"
Hearing the child's words, Fang Zheng glanced around.
"Where did you take it?"
"In the church."
"church?"
Fang Zheng glanced at the church not far away, and was filled with doubts. It was fine for these people to take a hostage away, but what could they do with him in the church? They were not the cultists, so they would not perform any evil rituals in there.
"I'll go check out the situation, you guys hide in the room."
Fang Zheng said something to everyone, and then came to the door of the church - this was a small church, and there was nothing special about it from the outside. Fang Zheng also stretched out his hand, and soon, accompanied by a loud bang, the heavy door was pushed open by Fang Zheng. He walked into the church with a broadsword and a pistol in his hands.
However, there was no one in the entire church.
But it is not empty.
Fang Zheng walked to the wall in front of the church and saw a white ribbon scattered on the ground. The originally solid wall now opened like a flap, revealing the dark and dim passage inside.
It seems that this place is more than just a church.
Passing through the stone gate is a seemingly very long staircase that spirals downward along a thick and huge column, as if sinking into a dark and gloomy hell.
"I see. I was wondering why the Jaegers had nothing better to do than attack an orphanage."
After seeing this scene, Fang Zheng finally understood the whole story. It was obvious that there must be some treasure buried under the orphanage, and somehow the Hunters found out about it, so they launched this attack.
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng leaped up and jumped directly from the gap outside the stairs.
This staircase was unusually long, several dozen meters deep. An ordinary person would probably die if they fell down. However, this was not a problem for Fang Zheng. He fell from the sky like a meteor. However, just as he was about to hit the ground, Fang Zheng's figure suddenly became as light as a feather and landed on the ground silently.
“——!!”
Suddenly, at this moment, a monster-like roar suddenly emerged. Hearing the roar, Fang Zheng frowned and quickened his pace to rush forward.
After walking through the corridor, Fang Zheng soon arrived at a huge room at the end of the corridor. It was a circular room that looked like a place where some treasures were placed. However, at the center of the circular hall, a man who looked like a huge ghost was holding a thick spear in his hand, and in front of him was a boy half-kneeling on the ground with hair like an onion, and a girl who was unconscious not far behind him.
"hateful……"
Looking at the monster in front of him, the boy was obviously overwhelmed. At the same time, the monster raised the spear in his hand and aimed it at the unconscious girl not far away.
Seeing this scene, the boy's face turned pale.
“Stop… Stop it now, ahhhhhh!!!”
However, the monster showed no sign of heeding the boy's call. It raised the spear in its hand and swung it down with all its might.
Then, it collided with the pitch-black sword.
"Bang!!!"
With the sound of metal colliding, the huge monster staggered backwards, and the young man looked up in surprise, only to see a man in a black windbreaker and a wide-brimmed hat appear in front of him.
"Who are you……?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this. Take that girl and leave here immediately. I have dealt with all the hunters outside. You should be fine, right?"
Fang Zheng tightly grasped the sword, his expression mixed with tension and solemnity. It was no wonder that he had such an expression, because at this moment, on the spear held by the monster, he clearly felt the power from the Order Clan!
That is the same power as the "secret treasure" created by the Goddess of Order!
This is trouble!
