Industrial Cthulhu? It's Cthulhu Industrial!!

Chapter 18: January City-State (Please Read!)

Ocean storms come and go quickly, generally releasing all their energy in a short period of time.

After the storm comes the long period of rebuilding and construction.

Because there is no interference from gods here, and no other beliefs artificially change the celestial phenomena, the natural environment is still under the chaotic but orderly control of the spirits of nature, and some common sense still applies here.

In a megacity like Londinium, the sun would be shining brightly in the sky, never setting, bathing the land in absolute light and hope every day. Even the area hundreds of miles around would be plunged into sleepless nights under the queen's glory. But Leon hated all this. He simply wanted the fruit to grow normally and for nature to cycle harmoniously.

Although in the eyes of many ignorant people, he is a god, and a god with some mental problems, but Leon doesn't care.

He only cares about his colonies, his territory, and his people.

Sitting at the entrance of the Silver Gate and personally guarding this otherworldly creation, Leon quietly watched his people controlling it, using their hands and the soil to continuously create a huge spectacle.

Although there are only hundreds of people, they gradually became familiar with collaboration in this job and conveyed their ideas in a simpler and more effective way.

Large-scale projects and sealed environments are often the best breeding grounds for friendship and trust, and this is especially true on this sealed island.

These ignorant people, who had been under the influence of the gods for a long time, did not even know how to build a raft or a canoe. They were trapped on this small island and began to recuperate naturally. In the process of construction and mutual assistance, they vaguely divided the classes and status.

First of all, there must be the three chosen ones appointed by Li Ang. All three of them have unique status and abilities, and are even vaguely worshipped as gods. However, they are not completely obedient, after all, they themselves were promoted.

The backbone of the group were Charlemagne's warriors and the women who went out on exploration. They were regarded as extensions of God's will and were also respected within this small group.

Then there are the ordinary people without any abilities, who serve as the cornerstone and nutrients of this small village.

They remain ignorant.

The appearance of a person with an exploratory spirit does not mean that they will be able to awaken anything.

It's normal for one or two people to change occasionally, but it's abnormal for them to all realize their mistakes. Ignorance and stubbornness always occupy the majority of the time.

In fact, Li Ang had recently pondered the reasons for the fall of dynasties in his previous life. Even in the middle period of many feudal dynasties, they promoted many high-yield and easy-to-grow crops, but they just couldn't continue to promote them.

Even merchants and landowners are happy to plant crops for various reasons, but their seeds and seedlings are often secretly replaced with the original seeds by farmers who have been farming for a lifetime. This is because they simply don't believe in the coming of change. Compared to the unknown world, they would rather live in the past forever.

Li Ang feels that he has basically given up hope of reforming the thinking of this group of people.

His eyes looked more expectantly.

It is worth mentioning that during the construction of the wonder, a pregnant woman gave birth to a child.

But because no one knew how to deliver a baby, and no one knew how to keep the children alive safely, before Leon realized it, the child had been killed on the pretext of not disturbing the adults' rest. Leon was very angry at the time, but he didn't know what to do.

In this crazy world, having children isn't particularly sacred, nor is raising them. The continuation of the species isn't something to celebrate. After all, everything everyone does is governed by the will of the gods, and killing children because they think it will disturb the gods is the most natural decision.

This is wrong, but sadly, Leon doesn't even know how to correct their thinking. Because in today's world, these people's ideas are the most correct.

He could only demand that they not kill newborns under any circumstances on the grounds that all lives belonged to him.

Besides, Leon didn't know what to do to change these people's thinking.

A month of construction and large-scale engineering was enough to create the most basic records and classes for these lunatics and believers. This was already the limit of what Leon could do without using mental manipulation.

He really didn't know what to do to make these people understand what civilization and family affection were in a reasonable and self-aware manner.

They have never enjoyed family love, and for thousands of years, human beings have always danced under the will of gods.

You can't force someone who has no idea about this concept to understand it all at once.

Facing the baby's body, Li Ang was silent for a long time.

In distant places, clay sculpture furnaces were constantly being built and piled up, eventually forming an amazing community.

Like the Hanging Gardens, Lianshan Kiln wasn't a facility that could be built all at once. The current construction only represents the most insignificant 1% of Lianshan Kiln's construction. If necessary, like the Hanging Gardens, it would eventually be relocated to safer, more spacious lands.

But simply seeing a massive structure begin to emerge under their own hands was enough to boost the spirits of these humans. As the month approached, a circle of shells spontaneously formed around the gray, bare furnace.

They did not dare to directly attack the furnace built under the will of the gods, but wanted to make the furnace more beautiful and in line with their aesthetics in this way.

There is anger and sadness, but there is also more collective progress and the emergence of rules.

It was difficult for Li Ang to describe what he had encountered this month. It was as if he had had a chaotic and illogical dream.

The diversity and unity displayed by humanity deeply shocked him, but as a high-ranking totem, he did not interfere with these changes in humanity. Since they had made such an evolution, it was obviously the people's own choice.

He will only push all interests in his own direction at critical moments, and at other times he will allow human society to grow freely, so that it can bear rich fruits.

'System prompt: The construction of Lianshan Kiln has been completed!'

'System prompt: Your territory has begun producing a unique specialty, Lianshan pottery! This item can be sold as a commodity!'
