An artificial grotto-heaven

Hundred Lands Mountain Range, Gao Village Town.

As a village that was once protected by the Spring God, Nüman.

This area has always been a key development zone for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

From basic agriculture to more advanced light industry, and then to large-scale, systematic heavy industry...

Gao Village Town has become a model for the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and even the world.

Every year, countless people come and go, learning advanced production techniques and bringing them back to their villages, cities, and kingdoms. The sheer number of people entering and leaving Gao Village Town each year is overwhelming.

It started about five or six years ago that a Formation array was set up around Gao Village Town.

It wasn't until recently that this world-renowned, super-large Formation barrier was finally completed.

The foundation of this Formation is the [Heaven and Earth Formation Diagram] that Nü E obtained from Chi Fou.

By using the [Heaven and Earth Formation Diagram] to mobilize the Earth Veins within a radius of a thousand miles, a group of deities led by Nü E created a [Heaven and Earth Talisman Incantation]. The [Heaven and Earth Talisman Incantation] had a vast coverage area.

It encompasses almost one-fifth of Yunmeng Marsh, and more than half of the Mountain Folk dwelling areas.

The instant the "Heaven and Earth Grand Formation" took shape, the surge of Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi caused abnormal weather across the entire Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Fortunately, Li Boyang intervened in time to regulate the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi of the riot, thus preventing the riot from truly escalating into a disaster.

However, such a huge price is worthwhile for Gao Village Town and its Mountain Folk.

Because after the "Heaven and Earth Grand Formation" was formed, it quickly created a semi-open blessed land.

Inside this blessed land, wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the four seasons are all regulated by the barrier, bringing obvious benefits to the Mountain Folk.

Besides agriculture no longer being dependent on the weather, various industries have also experienced rapid development.

When water, wind, or electricity is needed, it can be adjusted in a timely manner to maximize the development of the race into a virtuous cycle. Moreover, the essence of the [Heaven and Earth Talisman Incantation] is the embodiment of the power of spacetime.

Leaving aside the issue of time management...

The spatial manifestation of the "Heaven and Earth Grand Formation" is the most authentic and intuitive.

The result of the significant compression of time and space is that the living space of the Mountain Folk has expanded more than tenfold.

The previously tense relationship between people and land, which had developed rapidly with the Mountain Folk, was suddenly and completely liberated.

Nowadays, the biggest worry for the Mountain Folk is no longer that they don't have enough land, but that they have too much land and what to do with it.

Try harder to have more children?

Even if more children are born, it's impossible to fill a land that has expanded tenfold in a short time!

Therefore, in order to make the most of this surplus land, agriculture naturally entered the era of large-scale industrialized farms. This included integrated seeding and transplanting machines, large combine harvesters, and even high-altitude drones...

On Earth, these things are undoubtedly high-tech products.

However, in this world, a single Bronze Beast is enough to solve the problem of semi-automation.

With the help of many deities and the guidance of Li Boyang, similar "alternative products" quickly emerged.

With the combined pull of more than ten Bronze Beast, a seeding, transplanting, and harvesting machine equipped with various ingenious mechanical structures can be created.

This modular concept is even more advanced than some large-scale farms on Earth.

Because all the large machines on Earth are produced by large companies.

To protect their patents and maintain confidentiality, they often artificially increase the difficulty of use and maintenance.

After large corporations achieved industry monopolies, farmers had to pay extra every time they used these machines. In contrast, large agricultural machinery in the world is characterized by its simplicity, crudeness, and wildness.

Among these, the only one with even a modicum of technical sophistication is perhaps the high-altitude drone originating from Flying Sky Stockade.

It's not just a simple bronze bird that can fly.

Its accompanying directional cruise and pesticide spraying devices are top-secret technologies of Flying Sky Stockade.

With the wisdom of gods and practitioners, deciphering this device is not difficult.

The real challenge is how to deal with Wu Zhen, the future leader of Flying Sky Stockade.

Unlike the Dao Ancestor, that Wu Zhen did not hold an open-source attitude towards all his technologies.

Although she, who came from Great Xia, did not know the word "patent," she already had the most basic awareness of encryption and anti-leakage measures. At the very least, the Hundred Lands Mountain Range at this stage respected the hard work of Flying Sky Stockade.

Even Li Jingshu, who was the most curious, only disassembled the high-altitude drone of Flying Sky Stockade in private and did not publish its specific structure in the Prophet Daily.

Thus, a kind of "patent awareness" based on tacit understanding rather than explicit regulations was born.

Li Boyang knew this was a sign of progress in civilization, so he did not stop it from happening.

On the contrary, after learning all this, Li Boyang even deliberately instructed Li Jingshu and the others that from now on, the Prophet Daily would only publish some patents that were already known to the public.

Fortunately, Li Boyang's updates to the Luo River Book have not stopped.

Therefore, as long as the Luoshu (Luo River Book) still exists, the emergence of "patent consciousness" will not affect the progress and development of the entire civilization.

Outside of the agricultural system, the sudden expansion of land undoubtedly has the greatest impact on industry.

Previously, out of respect for the existence of deities, the Mountain Folk would always consciously or unconsciously avoid mentioning the gods when developing their industrial systems. This was like dancing in shackles, ultimately preventing Mountain Folk from fully realizing their potential.

But now, there are no gods on these newly emerged lands.

The Mountain Folk, wielding various kinds of "Xirang," transformed the land almost without restraint, according to their own intentions.

With its extensive network of roads, factories built along the water, mines nestled against the mountains, bridges spanning rivers and mountains, and streetlights and watchtowers everywhere, this place has transformed into a landscape completely different from the outside world in just a few months.

Complex, bustling, yet orderly...

Everywhere you look, you can see all kinds of farmland and factories.

Farmland refers to large-scale, systematic farms.

The factories are large-scale industrial parks with complete systems and supply chains.

Between these farmlands and factories, various small Bronze Beast run around the mountains and rivers, constantly driving the development of the entire region. Looking up at the sky, one can vaguely see countless floating objects drifting in the wind, occasionally releasing a conspicuous spark of electricity. If one's eyesight is sharp enough, one can even see through the layers of clouds.

A gigantic mechanical structure, resembling an eyeball, was seen suspended high in the dome, operating continuously for 24 hours a day.

That was Heavenly Palace No. 2 -2, a low-altitude artificial satellite built by Li Jingshu, gathering the strength of the entire Li Household Village and Flying Sky Stockade, specifically for this cave heaven.
