Chereads / Divine God: Forging Divinity with Technology / Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Great Development

Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Great Development

It has been over a month since the last divine realm completion plan.

With 1,000 people refined every ten minutes, 6,000 people per hour, and 60,000 people in a ten-hour day, three years have passed in the divine realm, resulting in a population of 2,010,000.

Luo Luo's divine realm is flourishing.

Compared to the mechanical race's somewhat rigid characteristics, other life races are much more active and play a crucial role in the development of various industries. The entire divine realm is becoming more like a normal world, with everyone performing their respective duties.

The abundance of food has led to a significant increase in the birth rates of various races. Babies are now being born in droves, and with such a large base, lives from different races are emerging in the divine realm every moment.

Norr City

This is a city built by the Norr humans in the divine realm and serves as the center of the human race, essentially the main city for humans. The population here exceeds 50,000, making it one of the most densely populated areas in Luo Luo's divine realm.

Upholding the principle of harmonious coexistence among various races, a small number of elves, dwarves, and goblins who enjoy urban life also reside or do business here. The city is managed by the Norr humans themselves, but the enforcers are robots from the mechanical race, as they are fair and impartial.

Over time, the various races have come to understand these iron beings better, losing the initial fear they had. As long as you do not violate the law, these robots will not trouble you. In fact, if you encounter minor troubles and seek help, they can assist you effectively. Fear stems from the unknown, while understanding promotes integration.

Luo Luo has made ample arrangements for his chosen subjects. For beings like the nature elves, who excel in planting, the best positions for them are to cultivate various grains, fruits, and vegetables to provide food security for the divine realm.

Luo Luo allocated a large tract of land at the intersection of forests and plains to the nature elves. According to his plan, this area will be for staple food cultivation, adjacent to a vegetable area, and next to that, a fruit orchard where various fruit trees from the great forest have been transplanted.

After sharing his ideas with the mechanical race, they relayed the information to the elf race. Then, the elf clan leader organized various groups for crop rotation. They work on a set schedule daily; even if they cannot use their own talents and skills, they are still significantly better at planting than other beings. The yield speaks for itself: the crops planted by the nature elves have a per-acre yield 2.3 times that of other beings, and their quality is superior.

"Utilizing each person's talents and resources" is also Luo Luo's motto. Therefore, he assigned the nature elves, who excel in agriculture, to suitable positions.

Conversely, the Black Rock Dwarves are more adept at forging and smelting. Their forging techniques are better suited for small batches of high-quality products. Large-scale industrial production is handled by the mechanical race, so the Black Rock Dwarves focus primarily on smelting experiments. Luo Luo shared some experimental methods and experiences from Earth with them, helping them purify, combine, and forge various magical metals to develop more properties to meet diverse needs. Even if some materials are temporarily unnecessary, they can serve as technical reserves for future requirements.

If the Black Rock Dwarves forge stone, then the goblins create sand—smaller yet more refined. The goblin race's innate talents and skills enable them to create and use tools effectively. The items they produce are quite delicate. This is Luo Luo's preparation for the precise industries needed in the future technological development.

Together, these three races encompass agriculture, metal processing, and precision parts manufacturing. Humans serve as a supplementary force, focusing on the development of animal husbandry and fishing. Anything missing in the divine realm has been arranged by humans. They act as a lubricant, connecting the three races. After all, elves and dwarves are naturally at odds, and goblins look down on both of them; they all hold disdain for each other, and putting them together is bound to lead to conflicts. Human mediation effectively reduces friction. Additionally, the territories of the three races are neatly divided by the mechanical race and humans, preventing direct contact and thus major conflicts.

Divine Realm Storage Warehouse

"It's already full, Director Tie." A bearded Norr man, dressed in a finely made cotton robe, said with a flattering expression to a robot.

However, the robot did not respond to him but instead carefully inspected the warehouse twice before nodding in acknowledgment.

"Liu Decai, your task is complete, and no errors were found upon inspection. Please go to the entrance to collect your reward."

"Okay, thank you, Director Tie. I'll go right away!" Saying this, Liu Decai started to leave but instead followed closely behind the robot with an awkward smile.

"Why are you still following me?"

"Director Tie, look, this warehouse A0038 is filled. Those warehouses at the back also need to be filled. Do you think I could help? I can guarantee the lowest price. Besides, I did quite well this time. If there are any good opportunities, Director, you should give me more chances, right?"

"Liu Decai, I cannot answer your question. Please go to the entrance to collect your reward. All tasks are assigned by the warehouse management department, and I have no authority to intervene. Please do not disrupt my work."

"Okay, Director, I'll go now." Seeing that he couldn't get any information here, he had no choice but to head to the entrance to get his reward.

"Uncle, did you get any useful information?" As soon as Liu Decai walked out the door with his money, his nephew Liu Zeyuan rushed over to ask.

"Don't even mention it. Those iron lumps are as stubborn as rocks. They won't accept money or gifts. Is there really such a thing as someone with clean hands in this world?"

Since arriving in the divine realm, the mechanical race, as the supervisory body for all beings, has also taken on various important roles. Some crafty individuals have set their sights on them early on. Even when faced with the strange steel bodies, they don't miss any chance to profit.

The mechanical race is entirely different from other beings. Although they have desires, their minds are filled primarily with orders, and they remain unperturbed by any temptation. As the saying goes, "Without desire, one remains strong." Although they have small wishes, these do not alter their positions, and they do not allow any gray areas. Moreover, robots are inherently rigid; they recognize only Luo Luo as the master of the divine realm and disregard everyone else. As long as it is a task assigned by Luo Luo, they will complete it meticulously, ignoring any flattery from other beings.

Though over time, various beings have come to understand the differences of the mechanical race, these merchants remain hopeful, wanting to gain more insider information. Of course, their intentions aren't malicious; they are simply cautious, aware that trying to pass off inferior goods as superior could lead to serious consequences. As Luo Luo's subjects, they are not lawless; any beings that violate the rules set by Luo Luo will be punished by the mechanical race. From detention to the death penalty, no exceptions are made.

Employing robots as judges is truly impartial, with no chance for favoritism. Thus, while all races find the mechanical race unemotional, they do not raise any objections to their management.

Warehouse A0038 is a storage facility built by the mechanical race for divine realm supplies. Type A warehouses specifically store various food reserves, including grains, vegetables, fish, and meat, to be activated during natural disasters or wars.

After three years of effort, the warehouses constructed by the mechanical race are now being filled with various supplies. The A-type food resources have filled up to the 38th warehouse.

Type B material warehouses have also started to be filled.

The entire divine realm storage warehouse is located at the center of the divine realm, which is also a holy place for all races. The technology capital built by the mechanical race houses most of the buildings at the core of technology, making it the heart of the entire divine realm. The northern Leaf Forest is the territory of the elf race, the western area adjacent to the Great Wasteland Mountain Range is occupied by the Black Rock Dwarves, the southern Grell Hills are home to the goblin race, and the eastern coastal areas are the primary activity zones for humans. The northeastern Al Plain is the main farmland cultivated by the elves, supplying food for the entire divine realm.

As the center of the technology capital, it has become the place where the integration of various races is most closely knit. About 200,000 residents from various races live here, contributing to the prosperity and development of the technology capital.

Of course, the entire mechanical race is located on the outskirts of the technology capital. Here, all fully automated robot factories are placed, including those previously built by Luo Luo.

Today is a special day. The unique building, the Technology Laboratory, and the Divine City Library are both completed.

Luo Luo is paying great attention to this matter. His divine authority allows for research and integration, but application requires the ingenuity of his subjects. The well-equipped laboratory can help them quickly find application directions, effectively turning knowledge into power.

Special Building: Technology Laboratory

Level: LV1

Function: The laboratory is equipped with basic infrastructure for researching various sciences, which can improve experimental accuracy and speed up experimental processes.

Previously, Luo Luo had established various schools among the races, from elementary to junior high and university levels, with each stage lasting three years. Children of appropriate ages from each race can attend free of charge. This is a right and an obligation set by Luo Luo; all eligible children must enroll, as there is no issue of hunger in the divine realm. To prevent individual laziness from affecting the entire race, Luo Luo began promoting a plan for private property early on and issued divine realm coins, facilitating the circulation of goods and creating desires among beings. With desire comes the motivation to progress; everyone wants to use better things and lead better lives. So what should they do?

The primary task is to learn, while the war against other gods and divine bodies is a responsibility for the mechanical race. Other races cannot play a decisive role on the divine realm battlefield after losing magical energy. Thus, they can only study the knowledge granted by Luo Luo to promote the development of divine realm culture.

Luo Luo compiled foundational knowledge into manuals and sent robots to explain them, which aligns with the educational methods of Earth. At the same time, he also attempted to integrate the culture and knowledge of the Earth source continent into it. Magic and technology are definitely not opposing forces; rather, they should complement each other to create a more splendid civilization.

This is how he thinks and acts. The smartest batch of individuals is about to graduate from university, coinciding perfectly with the completion of the civilization laboratory. Luo Luo calculated the timing and arranged for them to enter the laboratory to study existing technologies. After all, as they are just starting to engage with technological civilization, they cannot take too large steps.

This also reflects the grand integration of races, as wise individuals from different races gather in the laboratory, entering into a great era of merging technology with magic.

Meanwhile, the Divine City Library plays another crucial role.

Special Building: Divine City Library

Level: LV1

Function: It inspires wisdom and ignites more creativity in readers.

Inspiration also requires accumulation and awakening. The Divine City Library serves this purpose.

Compared to other biological races, the mechanical race is more serious and rigid in their work, resulting in their imagination and creativity being nearly zero. This necessitates that other races compensate for their deficiencies. This was an issue Luo Luo discovered after his demigod assessment, explaining why he hurriedly established these two special buildings.

Seeing them operate smoothly, Luo Luo handed over the previously analyzed Hero Tokens and Flame Essence to the wise individuals from various races working in the technology laboratory. He hopes they can research technologies suitable for the divine realm.

In terms of development, the mechanical race is much faster. With ample faith value and resources, Luo Luo embarked on a frenzied journey of upgrades and construction.

A large number of fully automated robot factories have been established and are continuously upgraded. The highest level of fully automated robot factory has reached LV4, costing Luo Luo a staggering 100 million faith value, and it is extremely powerful, capable of producing 1,000 industrial robots daily. Not to mention, he has numerous LV3 and LV2 factories, while he has long since lost interest in LV1 ones.

In addition, the fully automated war robot factory has also been upgraded to LV3, with a production capacity of 10 units per week.

These factories are producing robots day and night.

Technology continues to advance, and the entire divine realm has begun to enter an industrialized society, skipping right over steam engines and moving directly into internal combustion engines. Industrial robots have already established various oil extraction facilities in the oil fields, with oil continuously being sent to the mechanical race's processing plants, where it is refined into various resources. Those resources that are not currently needed are categorized and stored in the divine realm storage warehouse, ready to quickly generate production capacity once the relevant technology is unlocked.

Let's not forget that Luo Luo is also analyzing the two powerful artifacts: Void Gems and Illusion Gems. In the future, there will be a high demand for resources, and he can ensure they will sell well.

At this time, a large amount of resource stockpiling is also part of Luo Luo's plan.
