Background / History

Founding and early development

Tian Yuan Territory began as the Low-lying Land: a saline-alkali settlement whose Potential had once measured only a few tenths. Soil improvement, cultivation, resource upgrades, and the Small Blessed Land gradually transformed it into fertile, grass-covered land. 576

Su Mo formally renamed the settlement Tian Yuan Territory and declared that all residents would become Tian Yuan Citizens. The initial Sixteen Reforms established eight departments, four major factories, contracted land to individuals, and sought to stimulate private construction, production, and long-term attachment to the Territory. 591

An early Territory panel recorded 150 square kilometers, 1,415 citizens, a heating boiler, workshops, a mining field, farmland, and the Mysterious Sculpture wonder. 593

Rise, stagnation, and renewed expansion

Over the following years, Tian Yuan Territory developed into a major human power with a substantial industrial base, Energy Engine production, and extensive resource reserves. Its founder, Su Mo, was regarded by many residents as the “Human Su God,” whose early foundation enabled the Territory’s rise. 681

After Su Mo disappeared during the Winter disaster, Chen Shen, Feng Tianmin, the Chen family, the military, and the Academy of Sciences maintained the Territory. Its growth also created entrenched interests: newcomers and ordinary residents were often left with low-value work while early residents accumulated wealth. 699 710

During the Crimson Storm, Tian Yuan Territory abruptly rose to sixth place on the New Continent’s rankings. Its subsequent unveiling of Tian Yuan Port, newly formed border mountains, a surrounding Heavenly River, and optimized terrain demonstrated that it had reshaped its geographic disadvantages rather than merely expanded its borders. 793 795

The Territory later stopped selling basic identities and withdrew from the original identity system, instead publishing a three-year development program centered on twelve strategic directions. 796

Reconstruction and alliance era

In its rebuilt era, Tian Yuan Territory reformed its economy around Tian Yuan Coin, paid work, business investment, land transactions, and credit assessment. It expanded from Hope Village into a network of villages, industrial zones, military facilities, and allied settlements. 918 943 1077

The Tian Yuan Alliance extended the Territory’s influence through trade, logistics, industrial support, and cooperation with nearby shelters. Its eastward Clear Harbour plan targeted Qinggang City’s West Suburbs, while Hope Village, Dragon Rise Village, Fishmen Village, and Wasteland Bone Village formed the core of its territorial structure. 1260 1263

Qinggang City was eventually unified and renamed Tian Yuan City, intended to become a major cultural and commercial center of the New Continent. 1573

Legacy

By Tian Yuan Era Year 62, the Tian Yuan World had united under the Tian Yuan Federation, with a population of 2.6 trillion. The former Tian Yuan Territory had become Su Polaris Star, named in honor of its first lord, Su Mo. 1645

Territory Characteristics

• Located between the ocean, inland routes, mountain ranges, rivers, plains, basins, and hills, giving it unusual agricultural, transport, and defensive potential. 753 760
• Its terrain supports wheat plains, fern-root hills, temperature-variable basins for specialized crops, high mountains, and rivers rich in aquatic resources. 753
• A Level 5 Terrain Modification Card enabled large-scale terrain changes within a thirty-minute window, including border mountains, waterways, and the route serving Tian Yuan Port. 790 795
• Tian Yuan Port uses an R-shaped backflow channel connected to the Long Dragon Immortal River, allowing vessels to unload, reload, and re-enter the river efficiently. 795
• The Territory’s Energy Stone Mine later recovered its reserves and exposed additional ore, allowing Tian Yuan to meet short-term energy needs without imported fuel-rod conversion machines. 1275

Governance and Society

• Sixteen Reforms — Created eight administrative departments, four major factories, land contracting, and a citizen-based territorial identity system. 591
• Land policy — Residents could construct on contracted land, increasing material circulation, consumer demand, personal investment, and attachment to the Territory. 591
• Tian Yuan Territory 2.0 — Replaced shared distribution with paid work assignments, business investment, purchasable or leased land, and expanded talent assessment. 918
• Currency — Tian Yuan Coin was introduced as metal currency; one Tian Yuan Copper Coin equaled ten Tian Yuan Iron Coins. 918
• Resident certificates — The First Generation Tian Yuan Identity Certificate linked Contribution Points to each resident and added Honor Points for specialized privileges. 1003
• Free trade — Hope Village operated a free-trade system rather than Qinggang Shelter’s regulated economy, with markets, roads, task-based wages, and private commerce. 1116
• External development — Residents were eventually permitted to move freely and form expedition-team enterprises; teams could earn rewards, rankings, and access to advanced equipment through exploration results. 1318

Economy and Technology

Energy and industry

• Lü Kuan developed the Energy Convergence Ring using Energy Stones, marking an early breakthrough in Tian Yuan’s energy research. 576
• Tian Yuan Territory became known for Energy Engine production and a strong industrial base supported by resource reserves. 681
• The Territory’s low production costs came from abundant Energy Stone power and a long-term iron supply, enabling profitable low-priced goods and sustained factory employment. 1163
• Its research institute later expanded its chip-production capacity through the Black Building workshop. 1172

Trade and logistics

• Bao Yu County opened as the Territory’s first fully open foreign-trade zone; ordinary traders could obtain seven-day stay permits, while qualified merchant groups could lease long-term shops. 784
• The Tian Yuan Trade Association operated long-distance river fleets and established trade links with external territories such as the Red Flower Gang. 1284 1298
• Tian Yuan’s prices, medical services, housing, and consumer goods proved attractive enough that many visiting traders considered remaining permanently. 1289
• Tian Yuan Territory and Dragon Flag Territory began constructing a railway, while waterways, highways, airport terminals, and future air routes accelerated regional integration. 1547

Qi Tian Ecological Reconstruction Technology

• Qi Tian Ecological Reconstruction Technology uses Ecological Yuan Zi and Environment Weaving to restore ecosystems and convert barren land into usable green space. 1563
• Transforming one mu of land costs 700 Tian Yuan Silver Coins, making the technology most accessible to large territories. 1563
• Supporting systems include modular housing and modular energy systems designed for customizable, efficient, and self-sufficient settlements. 1563
• The technology triggered major orders from Dragon Flag, Golden Giant Eagle, and Northern Territory, totaling 550,000 mu. 1564

Military and Defense

• Tian Yuan Territory emphasizes defense and naval power rather than conventional territorial aggression; its fleet protects it from threats across the Ocean of Stars. 797
• Its external military forces include the Tian Yuan Army, the Volunteer Army, and a reserve force trained by Feng Tianmin. 1209
• The Tian Yuan Army expanded from slightly over one hundred soldiers to hundreds of active personnel during its early reconstruction, drawing heavily from Earth veterans and combat-capable survivors. 1198
• During the Dwarf conflict, the Territory issued an Expedition Mobilization Order for non-agricultural and non-industrial residents, with deployments projected to last fifteen to forty-five days. 1339
• Nearly ten thousand new Tian Yuan Army soldiers were prepared for frontline service during the wider war mobilization. 1338
• Three Sky-Supporting Walls were constructed to secure the Territory against infiltration and large-scale invasion. 838
• Tian Yuan won its first direct confrontation with the Divine Court, though the victory created intense internal pressure over whether to open the Sky-Supporting Wall for civilians threatened in Dragon Flag Territory. 848
• Its fleet later delivered Energy Stones and supplies to the Northern Territory Alliance during crippling winter power shortages. 1490
