New Features Are So Useful

Land could be used for many things.

In Viscount Rost's view, land could be cultivated. As long as enough of it was cultivated, food prices could be controlled, allowing Magitech Industry to develop more smoothly.

With more places growing crops, they could naturally withstand all kinds of natural disasters.

Beyond that, land could also provide more employment.

As development continued, Viscount Rost also came to realize the importance of employment rates.

In the past, the vast majority of people had been farmers, slaves, or people barely scraping by at the very bottom of society.

Perhaps such people could more easily provide faith, but they were difficult to convert into believers of the Technology God.

As a believer of the Technology God, his sole goal was to make the world more industrialized.

That required converting more people into industrial workers, or allowing more people to come into contact with industrial products.

Guided by this line of thought, Viscount Rost believed they should continuously acquire more land. It would become his solid foundation.

Of course, there was another very important point.

Those lands would directly affect the future construction of the Ultra-High-Speed Rail Transit System.

People might find it difficult to imagine that, although building the Ultra-High-Speed Rail Transit System would benefit everyone, the construction process would inevitably be extraordinarily difficult.

Human greed could sometimes be terrifying, especially among these traditional nobles.

Even if those nobles had not realized how important the Ultra-High-Speed Rail Transit System was to them, they would not hesitate to jack up land prices to outrageous levels when the Super Rail Transit System passed through their territories.

In the end, this would drive up the construction costs of the Super Rail Transit System enormously, or even make further development impossible.

To avoid such a situation, acquiring more land
