At this time, the Uzi sports car completely ran out of the city circle of Azula and came to the suburban farm area. There were large tracts of farmland on both sides of the road. The terrain was vast and the land was fertile. Agricultural machinery was plowing the fields early in the morning.
Ash looked around and saw a village of low-rise buildings in the distance. Although they were also two or three stories high, compared to the advanced two-story cities, these buildings were like remnants of the old times. However, there were young orcs driving machinery like tractors in the farmland, and they were full of vigor along the way.
"Are there so many young and strong people in the countryside?" Yaxiu asked curiously, "I thought all the young people would go to big cities to work."
"How is that possible?" An Nan said casually, "80% of the Gospel Kingdom is made up of production towns. Even if the alchemy machinery is advanced, industries such as animal husbandry, fishing, and mining still need people to develop. The ten major cities can be so developed because of the blood transfusion from all the other towns."
"Why didn't the young man run away?" Igulla asked. "Rural life can't be better than that in a big city, right? There are no drones in the sky here."
Ash's face darkened: "Don't mention the drone, Liz will be scared."
An Nan raised his eyebrows: "Are you curious?"
"I can't say I'm curious, but Blood Moon has also gone through this stage." Igula said calmly: "It's biological nature to yearn for prosperity. In order to let the lower-level labor force recognize their own position, the Blood Moon Kingdom has spent a lot of effort."
An Nan thought about it, and when passing a field, he slowly stopped and greeted the orc boy who was working: "Hello."
An Nan, who was in the top ten of the beauty list, had already surpassed the racial boundaries with her charm. The orc guy came over happily, scratching his head stupidly, and was so nervous that he didn't even say hello.
"Have you watched "Xinyue"? "An Nan asked.
When the orc guy talked about this, he was no longer nervous: "Look, I am still the earl with three thousand friends!"
"It's like this. I'm from Culture Media Company Limited. I want to do a field survey on the interests of Xinyue users to investigate the advertising delivery range. I want to know which Xinyue videos you have watched recently. Can you let me see your viewing history?"
The orc boy readily agreed and summoned the Gospel to show the exile.

"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation." An Nan took out the wine they drank yesterday: "This is a small gift for you."
"Thank you." The orc boy took it curiously and said, "What kind of wine is this, Pink Rabbit? I've never seen it before. Can you change it to the throat-piercing wine produced in our village?"
"Sorry, I'll remember that and switch to the brand you like next time." An Nan smiled, making the orc boy infatuated. "Goodbye, I hope you will also have a blessed day today."
Glancing at the orc boy who had been standing for a long time behind him, Ash teased, "Miss, you have easily destroyed another person's marriage."
"Do you understand?" An Nan asked.
"What do you understand?" Ash didn't follow the young lady's train of thought.
"Information Gap?" Igula asked thoughtfully, "But this place is not far from Azula. If you stand on tiptoe, you can see the second-tier city on the horizon. Will they really be trapped in the information gap?"
"It's much easier than you think," Annan said. "The barrier of the Gospel has no loopholes."
Knowing that the idiot in the back row didn't understand, Igula explained, "The videos the orc just browsed were all about residents of other towns and villages. None of them were about big cities like Azula. Plus, the Pink Rabbit beer that Annan drinks is a very famous brand in Azula, but the orc farmers don't know it at all. So we can draw a conclusion - although the orc has received secondary education, his worldview is completely limited to towns and villages, and he has no idea about the prosperity of life in big cities."
"Perhaps in his eyes, Azula, which is dozens of kilometers away, is just a slightly larger village and is not worth longing for. His current life is already very good. People who are richer and more powerful than him, at most, don't have to work in the fields, and can just lie in bed and have fun every day."
"Just to say," An Nan said, "City dwellers don't use the Xinyue app. Even farmers outside of Azula use local customized information apps. Xinyue is an exclusive app for Azula's second-tier cities and below."
Information gap, information curtain, information cocoon.
There may be many names, but the meaning is the same - blocking your channels for obtaining information, so that you only get partial and one-sided information, thus shaping your shallow and narrow worldview.
The principle is simple, the method is not complicated, but the consequences are terrifying.
Ash couldn't help but shook his head. "How is that possible? If they are uneducated, it would be fine, but all the citizens here have received secondary education, right? How could they be deceived so easily—"
At this time, Liz had woken up and was hanging on Ash like a koala, listening quietly to their discussion.
"I don't know what your Blood Moon Kingdom is like." An Nan said calmly, "But don't forget, we have good news."
Gospel.
The noun, which they had heard countless times these days, once again showed them its importance, comparable to that of air, sunlight and water.
"The class barriers that you have exhausted all your wisdom to build are nothing more than sand castles for the gospel. In the social system of the gospel, there should be information gaps not only between classes, but also between every region, every village, every family, and even every individual."
"As long as you don't know my extravagance and I don't know your vulgarity, then everyone can work together happily in the kingdom of the gospel, and the regional, racial, and class conflicts that are bound to arise between them will be resolved by the gospel."
"Everyone has their own social position and must stick to it. Perhaps greed, fear, jealousy, anger and other emotions will make people make irrational decisions, but it doesn't matter. The Gospel teaches us to be rational and subdue desire from an early age."
"Even if you really can't do it, it doesn't matter. The Gospel will help you 'block out' the information that will pollute you. As long as your world is narrow enough, that weak light can illuminate everything for you."
"What better oil can lubricate the social machine than lies and ignorance?"
At this time, a highway bridge that seemed to lead to heaven appeared in front of us. This was not just a concrete building. The ground above the bridge was covered with a light blue halo, full of high-tech avant-garde feeling. The halo formed words, representing the three directions: "Hemera", "Astra" and "Vamra".
"Hold on tight, we're about to start speeding up."
An Nan spoke cheerfully as he drove the old sports car onto the bridge. As the mileage increased, the passengers found that the speed of the sports car was getting faster and faster, almost like it was flying over the bridge!
"Miracle?" Ash exclaimed.
"This is a miracle built by the civil engineering team." The young butler said with a smile, "This is a skybridge leading to other first-tier cities. As long as you drive on it, your speed will increase faster and faster, even breaking the speed of sound, as if the bridge is also moving forward. This is the fastest way of transportation in the Gospel Kingdom."
Ash held Liz in his arms and looked out the car window at the land below.
The farmlands are neatly organized and the houses are lined up side by side, but if you raise your eyes a little higher, you can see the prosperous second-tier city of Azula.
The sun has risen high in the sky, the sunlight is dazzling, today is another day full of hope.
