Douluo Continent: What should I do if I don't have a cheat system?

Chapter 225 Technological Roadmap, World War, Nuclear Weapons Emerge

Unbeknownst to them, another year had passed in the main world, while ten thousand years had passed in the small world.

Over the course of ten thousand years, the humans of this small world united and cooperated, conquering more and more territory.

As humanity rose to prominence and the population increased, humans began to extensively clear forests.

At first, humans thought the forests were boundless, but as they gradually advanced, they eventually reached the coastline.

This small world is only 1000 million kilometers wide, with a land area of ​​only 600 million kilometers. Humans have expanded without restraint, and the land has been completely occupied by humans.

Within a few years, food became scarce on land, leading to hunger, famine, and the emergence of class-based rule among humans.

The upper class has no worries about food and clothing, while the lower class struggles to get enough to eat.

In order to survive, humankind turned its attention to the sea.

Soul beasts in the sea have a geographical advantage, making them much easier to deal with than soul beasts on land.

Many people perish at sea.

But this did not stop human progress; on the contrary, it aroused human desire to conquer the ocean.

One difference between humans and spirit beasts is that humans can use tools and make weapons.

Years later, ships were built by humans, and the Age of Exploration began.

The number and variety of spirit beasts in the sea are countless.

Humans discovered that hunting sea spirit beasts yielded abundant food. On land, they couldn't get enough to eat, but at sea, they ate until they were exhausted every meal.

More and more people are moving to the coast, which indirectly reduces the food pressure on land.

Because food was plentiful at sea, humans did not exercise restraint.

This is a small world created by Jerry. Compared to the main world, it is smaller in area and has fewer people. Jerry originally thought that since writing and language have been invented, it wouldn't be a problem for a few wise people to appear.

In reality, no wise men or good leaders emerged among the humans in this small world.

They only focus on strength and respect the strong, thus ignoring many other things.

Humans reproduce and cultivate quickly. Although countless people die in the sea every year, people still come one after another to conquer it.

The reproduction rate of sea spirit beasts is gradually falling behind the rate at which humans are hunting them.

Many sea spirit beasts hid in the deep sea and never came out again.

Over the years, it has become increasingly difficult for humans to hunt spirit beasts from the sea.

They set their sights on the upper class, and the first thing that makes someone a member of the upper class is considerable power.

A few individuals alone cannot overthrow those in power.

People at the bottom began to band together for mutual support, and those who were less powerful than those at the top started to explore other methods.

Various weapons and poisons appeared.

Perhaps because this small world is too small, human development has become limited. Humanity's research into tools is completely different from that of the main world.

Humans in this small world have evolved from the era of cold weapons to the era of firearms.

Jerry used to be very interested in firearms, but because of his soul tool, he didn't study them.

As time progressed, the power of firearms became increasingly greater.

Moreover, with the advent of firearms, other technological products gradually emerged as well.

Jerry was also surprised. Was this the beginning of a technological age?

With the advent of powerful weapons, the lower classes began to rebel against the upper classes.

After a period of time, the mainland was divided into two forces.

One force consists of cultivators from the upper class, while the other force consists of lower-class individuals who primarily utilize technological weapons.

Firearms can be manufactured as long as there are materials, and they do not consume soul power, so anyone can use them.

At first, the cultivation forces could suppress these firearms, but once their soul power was exhausted, they became lambs to the slaughter.

Humanity began to admire the power of firearms, and fewer and fewer people practiced cultivation.

Three hundred years have passed, and there are no more cultivators on land. Humanity has since entered the technological age.

Jerry had anticipated this outcome, but the Silver Dragon King and the Fairy Queen had not.

"Jerry, do you think the main world will become like this place in the future?" the Silver Dragon King asked anxiously.

"Maybe so. Every world develops in a different direction, but don't you think their technology is interesting?" Jerry also wanted to see what technology would look like in the end.

"It's really interesting. It doesn't require soul power, and anyone can use it. Apart from being a little weak, it's great." The Silver Dragon King had witnessed human wars, and compared to the outside world, the power of these weapons was indeed somewhat weaker.

"Silver Dragon King, you can't compare this place to the outside world. This place has only been developing for ten thousand years, and it hasn't stopped developing yet. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"That's hard to say. It all relies on external aids. Cultivation is still better when your own strength is strong." The Silver Dragon King was somewhat skeptical of technological methods.

However, it's normal for a cultivation world to look down on current technology. As technology develops, sooner or later there will be weapons that catch the eye of the Silver Dragon King.

"Silver Dragon King, keep watching, but I must say, don't underestimate technology!"

Due to differences in technological levels, human society gradually split, eventually dividing into hundreds of smaller factions.

War broke out between these forces, and they began to annex each other.

Eventually, a tripartite balance of power was formed, and then the war stopped, with no one daring to attack the other first.

Because of the tripartite balance of power, each country began to vigorously develop science and technology and manufacture weapons.

Because Jerry created the four seasons in the little world, one spring, a thunderclap rang out and shattered a large tree into pieces.

This scene was witnessed by some humans, who felt that if this lightning were made into a weapon, it would be many times more powerful than current weapons.

Eventually, humanity discovered electricity, and its emergence undoubtedly spurred the development of many technologies.

With the advent of electric lights, they were quickly adopted by all walks of life, enriching people's nightlife.

Then communication devices appeared first, followed by various electronic products over the next few hundred years.

Later, mechanics was discovered, and the steam engine was developed.

In just one thousand years, humankind has made a series of discoveries, including optics, various metallic elements, and energy.

Cars, airplanes, and ships were subsequently manufactured.

Radios, televisions, landlines, mobile phones (brick phones), cell phones, and many other modern products were manufactured.

Above the sky

"Jerry, this phone is really good. We could promote it in the main world. Although it's not as amazing as your watch, everyone can use it. It's just that it needs to be charged and has a signal, which is a bit of a hassle."

The Silver Dragon King and the Fairy Queen sat on the sofa with a lot of snacks and two glasses of red wine in front of them, each holding a mobile phone and playing with it.

"It's indeed a very interesting thing. I've learned the entire manufacturing process. Then, I combined it with my knowledge of soul tools and made some improvements."

After Jerry finished speaking, he handed a high-end-looking cell phone to the Silver Dragon King and the Fairy Queen.

"Jerry, why didn't you bring this good stuff out sooner?"

"I just figured this out, didn't I?" Jerry explained speechlessly. Doesn't research take time?

"What you're doing is very different from what the humans below are making."

Silver Dragon King received the phone from Jerry but didn't know how to use it.

"Haha, this phone of mine requires identity verification. You can bind the phone with your mental power or blood, and then no one but you can unlock it."

Jerry felt especially happy seeing how naive the two of them were.

"After binding your phone number, you can access the phone's operation page. You can operate it using the touch screen or with your mental energy, whichever you prefer. There are also a few mini-programs that I developed; you can try them out first."

Jerry watched the two of them clumsily operate their phones, looking rather comical.

After the Silver Dragon King entered the phone, the first program she saw was the owner's information, which she then clicked on.

Seeing the information inside, I realized it matched her current situation exactly. When did Jerry give me the test?

"Jerry, how come there's my information in here?!" Silver Dragon King flipped his phone over and showed the screen to Jerry.

"Yes, I have one too." The fairy queen next to her also showed off her phone screen.

"Don't panic. I just added a detection function to the phone. It can detect the owner's physical data to help us cultivate. It can also detect whether the user is the owner. If not, the phone cannot be turned on."

Jerry calmly explained that this was a phone he had personally developed, so how could it only have the same standard functions as those of humans? Of course, it had to have some exclusive features.

Moreover, the cell phone that Jerry made is a complete soul tool with an energy storage device inside, so as long as it is not destroyed, it will always have power.

Furthermore, the phone that Jerry developed is essentially a soul tool base, which can add programs, each of which is a new function.

There's also a communication app inside. Jerry made it based on WeChat from his previous life, but of course, he added some new features. One of them is a location function. Once enabled, it can send one party directly to the location of another party for face-to-face chatting.

With mobile phones, mobile phone stores will naturally follow, and most of the business of the Spirit Hall's logistics department can be transferred to mobile phones in the future.

Ordering from the online store and having the items delivered instantly is so outdated. Free shipping in the past is so lame; Jerry just gets free shipping.

Another important function is its encyclopedia feature.

It contains information on all aspects, from cultivation to daily life.

With just a mobile phone, you can learn anything you want from encyclopedias.

With a mobile device in hand, the world is mine.

As for many more features, they are yet to be developed. Jerry will develop some programs whenever he has time, and everyone can use them as soon as they are installed.

Under the Clouds

Human society

As technology advances, the power of weapons is also increasing.

One of these countries began to come into contact with atoms and molecules.

The year is unknown, but nuclear weapons were developed. Because their power was unknown, they were never used.

When a country becomes powerful, its first action is often invasion.

The reason why conflict was inevitable was because Jerry made the land area too small and the living space limited.

It started as a war between two countries, but eventually a third country was drawn in.

The two countries that started the war have now formed an alliance for reasons unknown.

The third country was forced to retreat repeatedly, losing city after city, and is now besieged in its capital by the armies of the other two great empires.

Sometimes, wars just get out of control as they escalate.

The third country is the one that is researching nuclear weapons.

The national leader was very resolute; even when the country was on the verge of collapse, he resolutely refused to surrender.

The other two countries were about to attack the city when the researchers reported the nuclear weapons issue.

Nuclear weapons, in theory, should be extremely powerful.

The leaders had no way out at this point and decided to fight to the death. The other weapons were basically used up in this war.

So the leader decided to take a gamble on this nuclear weapon, leaving one behind and launching all the remaining 20,000-plus nuclear warheads.

The leaders felt that even if these nuclear weapons were not verified and did not have the power that the researchers claimed, launching more than 20,000 of them would be enough to give the other two countries a hard time.

More than 20,000 nuclear weapons were launched to various locations across the continent.

The leader thought, "You can defend some places, but I'll launch them in a dispersed manner. I don't believe you can defend them all."

With the explosion of the first nuclear weapon, a city vanished, followed by a series of nuclear explosions that shook the entire continent.

The leaders of the other two countries outside the capital were shocked to receive the news from their subordinates. The nearby cities had all been destroyed by nuclear weapons.

He shouted at the people on the city wall, "What have you done? Are you crazy? Do you want to destroy the entire continent? Stop it!"

The leader of the third country on the city wall, seeing the two hysterical men below, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, too late, it's all too late. You two have teamed up to invade my home. You are both invaders. My home is gone, and you won't have it easy either."

The leader on the city wall completely ignored the words of the leaders of the two countries below, and instead looked into the distance.

Mushroom clouds appeared one after another, shaking the continent each time, but it didn't matter anymore. To see such a spectacular scene just before the country was destroyed was already quite an achievement.

The two leaders at the foot of the city wall immediately ordered an attack, demanding that the area be captured quickly, the control room located, and all nuclear weapons shut down.

Seeing that the two countries below had begun their attack on the city, he turned to look at the people behind him and said, "My people, those below are invaders. They have occupied our homes, killed our people, and slaughtered our army. It is my incompetence that has prevented me from leading you to victory. I am sorry to all my people, and I express my heartfelt apologies to you all."

After the leader finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the people below the city.

"However, we are not cowards. We would rather die fighting than surrender. I saw the power of the weapon that was just fired. I only regret that I did not pay attention to this weapon sooner. This is my dereliction of duty as a leader."

"My people, if any of you want to surrender now, I can understand, and I won't blame you. But I will hold out until the very last moment. I have left behind a nuclear bomb, and at the last moment of my life, I will perish together with the enemy. So those who want to surrender, leave now."

After the leader finished speaking, he stopped talking.

"Leader, we won't leave. We'll fight them to the death! My family has all died at the hands of these invaders. I'm all alone now, with no ties to them. I'll take them down with me!" a citizen from below the city said.

More and more of their people spoke up, and now their words were inaudible except for the repeated cry of "Let's all perish together!" "Let's all perish together!" "Let's all perish together!"

The leader was pleased that although his country had been defeated, his people were united and not a single one had surrendered or fled.

With the city gates breached by cannon fire, the troops outside advanced directly into the city.

The city is now only guarded by a few thousand soldiers, who are too few in number to withstand the enemy and have been slaughtered by them.

Many civilians, who were not soldiers but ordinary people, students, and researchers, took up whatever weapons they could and began to fight the enemy.

"Leader, activate the nuclear missiles! Our people are rising up in resistance, but how can ordinary people possibly defeat an army trained for years? I can't bear to see the enemy slaughtering our people any longer. I beg you, Leader, activate the nuclear missiles and perish together!"

"Leader, activate!"

"Everyone, please be quiet. I only saw the power of the nuclear bomb from the city wall. It's too far away, so I'm not sure how powerful it is yet. I have people keeping an eye on the leaders of the other two countries. Once they enter the city, I will activate it."

The leader, his eyes red, said that seeing the people being slaughtered was also causing his heart to bleed, but now was not the time to activate the nuclear missiles. Because he was unsure of the power of the nuclear missiles, he could only grit his teeth and wait for the leader of the hostile country to enter the city.
