I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

Wherever there is magic, there will be differences in talent levels, and the quality of the talent bloodline is related to the efficiency of an individual's absorption and understanding of magic.

If local stimulation of the body is increased to accelerate the iteration of the body in advance and give the body the wrong signal, then the talent can be realized in advance.

The idea was proven to be feasible after being put into practice, but there would be a lot of losses during the process, which was about 30% lower than the upper limit of the expected potential.

Essentially, the dwarf's idea is to gain current power by exploiting the individual's future potential.

The idea is normal up to this point, but the dwarfs are born with a short lifespan, so there is no point in squeezing out the future.

This leads to another idea, which is to transfer the harm. Wouldn't it solve the problem by squeezing the potential of others and transferring the power to yourself?

So who is being exploited?

At first, the dwarves experimented on Warcraft. Warcraft's naturally strong bodies, huge life potential, and simple but developed brains were undoubtedly very good experimental subjects.

The initial extraction of the essence went very smoothly, but problems arose when it was injected into the bodies of the dwarves of the same tribe. Due to individual weakness, the dwarves themselves were unable to suppress the potential essence extracted from their bodies.

Everything about a living organism is accelerated and concentrated into a tube of reagent. Why do you think that once it is injected into your body, it will be yours, rather than you becoming its new host?

Therefore, all dwarves who have been injected with the essence reagent will be assimilated by the substance injected into their bodies, and the essences of both parties will be recombined and rearranged to form a new life form, or a monster with only the primitive life instincts left.

During this period, the dwarves tried many biological samples, but the result was always the addition of new strange species to the monster family. They did not solve the problem until the facility was damaged and lost control due to negligence, releasing an army of monsters.

The witches didn't take the information seriously because it was meaningless as they couldn't use it.

However, the blood race did discover a blind spot from this, and they did not need to rely on this technology to improve their own abilities. It was just that for them, a monster that acted purely on instinct could be used by their blood control ability.

With the help of strong suggestion and blood manipulation, they can replace and change the biological instincts of these mindless creatures to achieve the purpose of control.

So what is a problem for the dwarfs is not a problem for them at all.

Experimental subjects are easier to deal with. All we need to do is capture the young of other talented races, and then forcibly overdraw their potential to control them. These children must be at least level 9, and the better ones can reach the saint level. Aren’t they powerful and perfect fighters?

The dwarfs' method of potential transfer also allowed them to see a new possibility, if high-level or high-concentration origins could directly change and assimilate the fragile host itself.

Then they can completely use the blood of their own strong men or other source materials to achieve the purpose of large-scale forced infection and transformation of low-level life forms.

With the help of blood manipulation ability, the vampires will have an additional set of servant armies from high to low, with both quantity and quality.

Just thinking about that kind of scene instantly ignited the blood clan's ambition to rule the continent, but thinking about the countless powerful people from other races on the continent and the gods who can resist the blood mist, they still think it is better to keep a low profile. At least they can't become the rats crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats.

This is also the basis for the cooperation between the vampires and the allies. Anyway, they don't know that the vampires can actually control the monsters. They all think that these monsters act completely according to their instincts and can cause heavy damage to the enemy country if they are deployed into the enemy's territory.

Ardashir's plan was to transform all of Cabancia's more than 10 million people into these things. In this isolated land of the subcontinent, they had only one way to go, which was to attack the border of the alliance.

The Alliance's General Staff certainly hadn't anticipated this. They had improved the Alliance's early warning and defense mechanisms in response to the incident in Area 9, but they had not considered what other countries would do.

The local intelligence department noticed the unusual behavior of the Allied forces and quickly reported the news back, while also speeding up the investigation into what those things were.

But Ardashir kept his mouth shut and almost no one else knew about it except him, which made the intelligence investigation very difficult.

Eventually, the intelligence department determined that it was a poisonous gas or some infectious virus, and asked the front-line garrison troops to bring gas masks and emergency oxygen tanks in advance, and at the same time applied for targeted bombing to eliminate these things.

Before the Alliance had time to take action, the large number of tanks that the Allies had shipped to various states and stored there suddenly exploded. Countless red mists exploded in the night sky of various states in Cabancia, but it was too late.

The alliance completely underestimated Ardashir's bottom line.

The red fog spread on a large scale. The elderly, the weak, women and children with poor physical fitness were assimilated by it at the first time and began to indiscriminately attack all living life around them.

However, due to the enhanced coverage area and consumption ratio, the concentration of this batch of potions for the vampires is not as strong as before, and young and middle-aged people are less affected.

Because Cabancia has been in constant war and has poor control capabilities, a large number of residents have guns in their homes, and larger gangs can even pull out 75 field guns, so they were able to resist for a while at the beginning.

However, as time went on, ammunition began to run short, and one by one the points of resistance were eliminated, destroyed and assimilated, and more and more monsters began to spread around.

At the same time, the allied forces also suffered indiscriminate attacks, but Ardashir, who had made preparations in advance, concentrated his troops near the portal and held their ground. It was very easy for hundreds of thousands of troops to ensure the safety of a state.

After he eliminated the first batch of red fog monsters in a bloody battle in Praida, he began to sit back and watch the alliance fall into chaos.

Odrinsar Line

Dense flames were emitting from countless firing points, and from time to time there were covering bombardments from rocket launchers and artillery. The barbed wire mesh of the previously arranged front-line positions was filled with twisted, skinless flesh monsters.

The MG42, with a firing rate of up to a thousand rounds per minute, madly strafed the monsters that attacked one after another like waves. The blood and broken flesh and body parts all over the ground made the entire position look like a real hell.

No expression could be seen on their faces because of the gas masks, but their steps as they carried the shells and ammunition boxes were a little messy, and it was obvious that the scene outside was not pleasant for them.

【5分钟后第16轮白磷燃烧弹投放覆盖，第9轮凝固汽油弹于200公里外进行战场遮断，预计休息时间22分钟。】

When the large number of white phosphorus incendiary bombs fired by the rocket artillery unit covered the entire position and the smell of burning fat and meat filled everyone's nose, they got a short break.

From the beginning the alliance knew that the defense line would be attacked, so the entire army was in a state of combat readiness, and they all arrived at their posts as soon as anything unusual occurred.

But no one expected that what was waiting for them was not the Allied troops, but all those ugly monsters without skin, without human shape and with strange appearances.

"Ugh...how many of them are there? Where the hell did they come from?!"

"Who knows... But I have a bad feeling. Please check if there is any problem with the machine gun. Let's replace the barrel in advance."

"I'll replace the barrel. Go ask the squad leader if he can give me two more boxes of bullets. I'm using too much."

Chapter 304 Is there any law left?

The monster encountered on the front line was immediately identified as the same creature as the one that appeared in the Area 9 terrorist attack.

Experiments on the remaining living samples in Area 9 revealed that after infection, the original host's consciousness died, leaving only basic biological instincts, so the name was officially confirmed as [Corpse Beast].

Although the garrison troops of the Odrinsar Alliance are not large in number, they were positioned as the first line of defense in the homeland from the beginning. Therefore, the construction of its defense line is rigorous and scientific, with a large amount of heavy firepower, and extremely rich reserves of ammunition and supplies.

It can be said that if a higher level of combat power does not appear, it will be difficult for ordinary corpse beasts to break through the Odrinsal defense line.

But this refers to the defense line itself, not the entire border area.

After all, in conventional military warfare, it is difficult for the enemy to bypass your defense line and attack the rear. He has to consider whether the logistics will be cut off and whether the vanguard troops will be blocked and surrounded.

Therefore, in the construction of the defense line, the main focus is on concentrating forces on heavy defense positions, and many areas have no garrison forces.

These areas give the omnipresent corpse beasts the opportunity to break through the defense line.

For this purpose, the Alliance urgently summoned the garrison troops from the second-line states to complete their equipment changes and follow the transport airships to various designated areas for resistance, in order to buy time for the establishment of a tighter second line of defense in the rear.

This kind of order does not mean that they are going out to give their heads. The special and convenient explosion-proof wall allows ordinary soldiers to build a small defensive fortification in a very short time. It is no problem to kill the zombies to a certain extent while protecting themselves in the short term.

The most important targeted elimination mission was delegated to the Alliance's Second Airborne Division, which was called back to the country for repairs, as well as various division-level special forces brigades.

Their goal was simple, to get deep into the field and provide valuable precision bombing targets for the air fleet, not only to find the corpse beasts, but also to find the Allied forces.

Ongita

Suddenly, a sharp, high-pitched alarm sounded over towns across the state, waking up residents who had already fallen asleep.

In the bedroom, John woke up from his bed, turned on the light switch, sat up, and took out the pistol from under his pillow. The cold and hard touch calmed his nervous and sensitive heart.

"Honey, what's going on?"

The woman also sat up and rubbed her eyes. Her little son in the wooden cradle was awakened and opened his mouth to cry loudly. She hurriedly got out of bed, held him in her arms and coaxed him softly.

John was a little uncertain: "I don't know, but this seems to be... an evacuation alarm?"

"Is this a drill? But the radio didn't say that..."

John's wife's voice suddenly dropped as she spoke. The two looked at each other, and John made a prompt decision: "No matter how careful you are, there's nothing wrong. You quickly pack up, and I'll take care of the girls!"

John rushed out of the master bedroom and went into his daughters' boudoirs. The two girls, aged 13-4, were awake and sitting on the bed in a daze.

"Father..."

"Dad is a bad guy, he came in without knocking..."

He reached out and ruffled his little daughter's messy hair and picked her up: "Don't be angry yet, put on your clothes quickly, Dad will apologize to you on the way, Lucy, you too."

He quickly took his two daughters to tidy up his appearance. Finally, he had time to wash his face in the bathroom. He couldn't help but smile when he saw his beard covered with water stains.

[Ding! A large-scale plague infection has broken out in Putum and Theod in the Kingdom of Cabancia. In order to ensure the life, health and safety of the citizens of the alliance, all residents of Ongita will be evacuated. Citizens are requested to bring their high-value valuables and wait patiently at their doorsteps for official vehicles to board in an orderly manner. ]

[In order to ensure smooth traffic and efficient operation, the current wartime management method is activated. All vehicles without Alliance government license plates are not allowed to go on the streets, disrupt order without reason, and violate any Alliance laws. ]

[Violators will be severely punished, with the minimum penalty being 5 weeks in prison and the maximum being immediate execution. The Alliance will ensure the safety of citizens' lives to the greatest extent possible, so please be patient.]

This message was repeated over loudspeakers and radio stations set up throughout the streets.

When John walked to the gate of his small estate with his wife and children, the street outside was already full of neighbors.

The housing infrastructure of the alliance is basically monopolized by state-owned enterprises. Most of the buildings are exactly the same, with attractive prices and good living space. Moreover, because they are built by the same company, the supporting facilities are very complete.

Markets, commercial streets and bus stops are all built around residential areas.

Of course, if you want to show that you are different, there are houses in special areas, but the larger areas and better locations have punitive tiered price increases, which you may not be able to afford.

Because the land approval authority is controlled by the Union Central Bank, ordinary affordable residential areas have pre-set specifications and standards, and only one unit can be approved per household. Local states can decide on the construction area on their own and submit plan drawings.

However, land that exceeds the standard will be converted into commercial and economic land and decoupled from the alliance's basic welfare subsidy policy. A floating commercial land price will be used, with a minimum price set by the central bank's supervision team based on on-site economic benefits and land area calculations.

The amount of commercial property land approved in a state is limited, and the purchaser's asset documentation will also be reviewed. Therefore, as the only commercial property that can be freely circulated and traded, the price will usually soar by more than 50 times from the already high minimum price, with no upper limit.

There are high property taxes to pay, and the cost of living needs will also increase significantly at the same time, without any exemptions, and all you get in return is a bigger house and a higher social status.

In other words, it is extremely expensive to stand out within the alliance, and there is basically no chance of getting a bargain, and most people will not let you get a bargain.

The development of commercial real estate is equivalent to giving local governments a big money bag to improve people's lives. Each term has only one or two approved quotas, which is usually related to how long this team can last. There is only one quota for every five years, and two for every two terms, and they are gone when they are used up.

Even if they save you money, the entire team will suffer a huge loss. If they want to launch any new project, they will have to watch it happen without money. The public welfare of the current team will also be reduced.

This is the case with the area where John lives. The housing prices are very expensive, and the people who live here are naturally either rich or noble. They generally speak in a tougher tone, and now they gather together and complain loudly.

After all, it’s hard for others to tell that every household must have several cars, and they can always drive faster than ordinary people. Wouldn’t the government’s ban on civilian vehicles putting them back on the same starting line?

Then what do I earn so much money for? Some people who were not convinced asked their whole family to sit in the car and start the car, wanting to drive away directly.

But they soon became obedient. A Sherman modified engineering tank squeaked into the commercial residential area. When it saw the cars blocking the road, it did not stop and pushed the cars and the people inside for a distance. The soft voice of the female announcer continued to come out from the loudspeaker on the top.

The family in the car that was hit by the tank was scared to death, but fortunately the army did not go to extremes. They kicked open the car door and dragged the family who had wet their pants into the police car behind. As for the small car that was blocking the road, it was flattened and pushed to the side of the road, leaving the surrounding wealthy people stunned.

"Is there any law here?!!!"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd said this. The soldier following the tank looked back at the crowd and said coldly, "Her Majesty the Queen said that only those who obey the laws of the Alliance are citizens of the Alliance!"

Chapter 305 Emergency Transfer

Media has linked everything that goes beyond basic welfare needs and reaches the consumption survival of the wealthy class to commercial consumption for a premium increase, and most of this commercial consumption is linked to luxury consumption.

Tobacco, alcohol, cars, houses, and in the future various luxury brands, etc.

Luxury goods consumption is supervised and managed by state-owned enterprises, most of which are descendants of meritorious service workers and have complex interests involved.
