Chapter 714 Purgatory Gate Platform.
Hart calmed down and tried his best to relax a little from the nervousness when they first met.
The contents of the documents in his hand became more and more complicated, and he did not fully understand many terms, especially those related to magic and interdimensional terms.
He didn't want to show that he didn't know much about any of these things during the first meeting, so he decided to read everything carefully before asking for specific details.
Hart's fingers gently turned the paper, and his eyes quickly scanned the last few pages of the document.
The content mentioned here began to become more realistic and concrete, and the multiple projects that Zhujie Construction Unlimited Company and the Administration Bureau would launch in the quarantine area came into his eyes one by one.
Hart frowned slightly. Although the contents of the document sounded very good, it was always much simpler to talk about it on paper than to actually implement it.
"Can these projects really be implemented? Can the Authority fulfill their promises?"
These questions are swirling in Hart's mind.
He turned to the last few pages, and the terms in the document gradually involved the details of the cooperation between World Construction Co., Ltd. and the Infected Persons Union.
This company not only aims to build infrastructure, but also plans to recruit infected people into the construction team, relying on the extraordinary physique and abilities of infected people to accelerate the progress of the project.
Hart can feel from between the lines that the Administration is planning a comprehensive and rigorous construction plan, and the infected will not only be participants in this plan, but may even become a key force.
Hart's heart is filled with many questions and...expectations.
He raised his head and looked at Xia Xiu, trying to find the answer from the expression of the heavenly sword holder.
However, the blond young man still had a gentle smile on his face, and his eyes were calm and calm.
"Have you finished reading?"
Xia Xiu spoke softly, his voice was as calm as ever, but it made Hart feel a trace of invisible oppression.
Hart nodded subconsciously, although there were still many questions swirling in his mind, he felt that he had to speak first
"Your plan... looks very... grand, I can feel your determination to change the entire quarantine area, and even the entire group of Terran infected people, but..."
He paused for a moment, his eyes falling on the document in his hand.
"I don't quite understand how all this should be implemented for our union? These seemingly complicated projects... can we really do it?"
Xia Xiu smiled slightly, It seemed that Hart had already expected such questions.
He leaned forward slightly and tapped his fingers twice on the table.
“Don’t worry, your doubts will all be answered. This is not a task that you will do alone. The Administration will provide support throughout the process.
We will open up the resources of the think tank ‘Adam’ For your use, it will provide you with scientific advice and detailed planning.”
He paused for a moment, his golden eyes gentle but profound, as if he could see through Hart's heart:
"With Adam's help, the infected group can not only successfully complete these projects, but also move towards a new era." The future. The infected will unite under the banner of the Kingdom of Heaven. You will no longer be an isolated group, but an important part of the new world."
After answering some of Hart's questions, Xia Xiu started talking. Turn, the tone becomes more direct.
Too many empty words can make people feel vague, but only by telling the other party specific plans and what they can actually do can truly eliminate doubts in their hearts.
He pointed at the document in Hart’s hand, smiled slightly, and said to Hart:
"You should have seen the Purgatory Gate platform construction plan mentioned above, right?"
Hart nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, with confusion in his tone:
"This is one of the things I don't understand."
Xia Xiu had a faint smile on his face, already understanding Hart's questions.
“The Purgatory Gate Platform is an extremely important part of my plan.”
He explained:
“This is a pivot point connecting the new world, the junction and all the worlds.”
“It will not just be an ordinary station, it will carry Extraordinary people, students, nobles and passengers on special missions. We plan to establish multiple functional levels, each leading to different areas and train lines. This means that in the future, we will be able to transport large numbers of people and trains quickly and efficiently. resources, and even directly connect to other planes."
Xia Xiu crossed his fingers and leaned his elbows on the table, as if he was describing a grand blueprint in his mind.
"Of course." He smiled slightly, his tone slightly relaxed.
"These may seem a bit far away to you, after all, this is part of the future. But at this stage, I plan to use an existing wonder building in Terra as a template to reproduce the initial concept of this platform."
"We will first copy... imitate it-Platform 9 of King's Cross Station in Fog City."
"Platform 9?" Hart looked confused. He seemed to have never heard of this thing.
“It’s normal to not recognize this name when you hear it. In fact, this platform has always been in the hands of the Fog City Magic Association and is almost never open to the public. It is a special train platform for noble thaumaturges of the monarchy faction. It belongs to their private domain. Even those thaumaturges who are born as civilians are no different from the Muggles they call them. "
The supremacy of blood has always been criticized in the Fog City thaumaturge circle... Hmm. , in the foggy city, they still continue the tradition and like to use the word "magic".
"Your bloodline determines your destiny. 』
This is one of the oldest and most powerful families in Clock Tower. The leader of the family, Bartholomew, is famous for his extreme remarks, which are also the motto of their family.
In the concept of pure-blood families, bloodline is the foundation of magic power. Only magicians with noble bloodline are qualified to master powerful magic and gain a firm foothold in the magic world. This idea is widely supported in the Clock Tower, especially in the fight against low-blood magicians.
In Xia Xiu's crossed hands, his thumbs were moving up and down, showing an interesting sense of randomness.
How can farming develop without building wonders?
Moreover, his platform construction is not just a wonder building, it is a track that will link all worlds in the future. In the later stages of development, various ether tracks will be laid, allowing people to use the power of the [Golden Tree] to travel across the planes.
However, Xia Xiu is sure that he will control the administration, re-create King's Cross Station, and even open a school soon...
It is inevitable that he will be behind the scenes of the thaumaturgy nobles in the Fog City. .
He thought about how those blood-supreme guys could cricket him, cricket his school lines.
“Why didn’t the angel go to slay gods and demons? Instead, he went to teach mudblood magic. Oh, the Kingdom of Heaven is going to change its profession?”
From the twenty-eight Saints in the past to the twelve monarchs in the Clock Tower now, the nobles in the Fog City are all the same.
In the magic system of Fog City, magic is acquired through blood and family inheritance.
Magician families accumulate magical knowledge and magic power through generations of efforts, and usually have more powerful magic circuits (magic channels in the magician's body, similar to the inheritable version of the thaumaturgy circuit in the genealogy).
Therefore, the strength of a foggy magician often depends on the family's history, inheritance, and the quantity and quality of magic circuits.
Controlling the lifeblood of Fog City is not only the Clock Tower, but also the Fog City Magic Association. They are the core organization in the extraordinary world of Fog City and are responsible for managing the activities of magicians.
The Fog City Magic Association is an extremely elite organization that only serves those magician families with noble bloodlines.
Many powerful magician families control important positions in the Magic Association. The twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower are typical representatives of this power structure.
The Magic Association is an extremely closed and elite organization. In its operation, civilians have almost no chance to enter the world of magic.
The barrier between the magic world and the ordinary world is very strong. The Magic Association will make every effort to hide the existence of magic and prevent ordinary people from being exposed to the power of magic.
If the Third Academy is established in Fog City, it will definitely be "destroyed" by people from the magic family on the genealogy forum, and the Fog City government is expected to resist fiercely, and even turn against the Kingdom of Heaven.
The Holy Church, the first secular product of the Kingdom of Heaven, had a fierce conflict with the Magic Association.
The main teaching of the first generation of popes was to protect the will of the Kingdom of Heaven and the church think tank, and to eliminate all forces considered heretical.
Although the Templar Church is not completely hostile to all magic, they have a very strict attitude towards the behavior of magicians, especially magic that involves souls, immortality or dark forces, which will be considered heretical by the church.
The Magic Association happened to be in conflict with the church of that period, in every sense of the word.
When the Kingdom of Heaven lost control of the church, the church think tank [Mastima] went on a killing spree, hunting heretics, wizards and magicians. The Magic Association bore the brunt of the attack, and the Saint Twenty-eight Family stood on the front line against the church. The two sides fought fiercely.
Platform 9 of King's Cross Station is a relic of the original front line. The twenty-eight Saint families were cut down by the church to only thirteen families. On the other side of the church, several archbishops and a pope were killed by the Magic Association.
Furthermore, when the first swordsman in the Kingdom of Heaven defeated the Church, the Magic Association also contributed a lot behind the scenes.
Now the products of the second secularization of the Kingdom of Heaven - the Administration and the Third House of the Kingdom of Heaven.
When people from the Fog City Magic Association see it now, they are probably suffering from PTSD.
Just the fact that the Management Bureau allowed Dai Yi to vote for the infected people gave them a smell that something was not right.
Now, the rumors that the Kingdom of Heaven is going to establish the third hospital and plan to implement the educational policy of "education without discrimination" make them feel numb even more.
In fact, there are many academies of thaumaturgy in Terra, and Deer Park is one of them. When the Clock Tower saw them, he pinched his nose and ignored the mudblood representatives. If he tolerated it, he could still hide it. The people with magic blood in Luyuan get along well with each other in a friendly manner.
At the very least, there is no serious conflict between Lu Yuan’s extraordinary ideology and the Magic Association. It is even said that Lu Yuan does not have any extraordinary ideology.
But the Academy of Heaven, Gan! ! !
How did the Holy Church lose control in the first place, and how did the Saint Twenty-eight Family at the peak of the Magic Association be chopped into pieces?
He has no points in heaven?
When the number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven did not come down, the Magic Association planned to open the [Spiritual Tomb], pull out the [Sword in the Stone], liberate all the holy relics, and use all the association's knowledge to fight against the Holy Church. .
Look at those utopian transcendental ideologies and the pure-bloodedism of Fog City. No matter how you look at them, they will work.
In the past, the angels of heaven were high and had big fists, so everyone sought common ground while reserving differences.
However, if you want to pursue secularization now, conflicts are inevitable.
It is estimated that the Third Court of Heaven will also reproduce the conflict between the Holy Church and the Magic Association.
Of course, the conflict will be slightly better than before. From the clergy and magicians fighting each other, it has become a fight between college students.
Xia Xiu usually has the habit of reading newspapers. Among the many media in Terra, the official media that is malicious towards him, the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, is the Fog City Broadcasting Company, which broadcasts all kinds of false statements every day. .
What are the human rights charges, what are the extermination charges, what are the organs of agents under the jurisdiction of the Administration being sold...
After the first stage of the Gate of Purgatory platform and the third courtyard are established, he will have to disgust the people on the other side of the Fog City.
Hart didn’t understand the twists and turns inside, and he had never heard of such a grand idea, especially the concept of the Purgatory Gate Platform, which sounded like more than just a transportation hub. It is more like a symbol of the changing times.
Although he did not know much about the so-called "Platform 9", from Xia Xiu's description, he could clearly feel that this platform represented an invisible barrier for the privileged class to some extent.
“The Administration also needs its own high-speed construction company, and the Purgatory Gate platform is the breakthrough the company needs at the beginning of its establishment.”
The fourth sword holder of the Kingdom of Heaven continued, his The voice was a little higher.
"It will not only be a transportation hub, carrying the flow of extraordinary users, but also become a bridge connecting Terra to all the worlds in the future."
After Xia Xiu finished saying this, he let go He lifted his crossed hands, gently rubbed his chin with his right hand, and raised his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about some future plans.
Then, a slightly evil smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his tone became more relaxed:
"When the time comes, once the platform is completed and opened to traffic, I would like to invite Wu. Several big figures from the monarchy faction in the capital came to visit. After all, the times are progressing, and the old guys in the foggy capital should also learn and stop staying in their ivory towers."
In. After slightly expressing his bad taste, he continued to say to Hart:
"These plans, Mr. Hart, will not happen overnight, but as soon as we take the first step, the path forward will become clearer. You don't have to doubt the power of the infected, and don't underestimate the role of your union - Modified Value The economy and the new world system are much more convenient than you think.”
The final conversation between Xia Xiu and Hart has entered into the details. The two discussed the details of the reconstruction of the quarantine zone and the joining of the union. discuss.
As Xia Xiu spoke, he took out a small ball from the desk drawer and handed it to Hart.
This small ball looks like some kind of mechanical peripheral. It has a smooth surface and is of medium size. It is suspended in the air and has a round shape like some kind of cute Q-version doll.
There is a simplified expression panel on the front of the ball. The big eyes on the panel blink from time to time and change their expressions according to the atmosphere, making it look both anthropomorphic and technological. Hart stared at it, filled with wonder.
Xia Xiu looked at Hart's reaction, with a smile on his lips, and joked in a relaxed tone: "In the future, this kind of thing will spread all over Terra, and even in every corner of human beings, whether they are extraordinary people or ordinary people, they will Own it. "
Hart was stunned for a moment and took the ball. Although he thought it sounded like a joke, he actually said no in the face of Xia Xiu's relaxed and humorous tone. Come up with rebuttal.
[Hello, Adam X-type civilian version is at your service——]
[Do you need to turn on the custom mode? ]
[Do you need to name me? ]
The small ball floated next to his hand, flashing blue light slightly, like a small smart assistant. It blinked a few times from time to time and was looking at Hart.
"This thing... looks quite interesting."
With some curiosity, Hart touched the ball cautiously, and the ball instantly made a brisk sound. With a beep sound, her eyes lit up and her expression changed into a smile, as if in response to his touch.
Xia Xiu smiled and nodded, with a casual tone:
"Don't worry, it is much smarter than you think, and it will become a good partner in your work. Any questions, It can help you solve it. I can be regarded as half of his father. I wrote a lot of easter egg programming in it, and the emojis on it are also one of my masterpieces.”
He then added jokingly: "But you have to be careful, it will also remind you when to finish the work, don't think about being lazy."
Hart couldn't help but chuckled as he listened. The words of the Heavenly Sword Holder made him relax a lot.
Xia Xiu's humor and approachability made the meeting seem relaxed and natural, completely different from the serious conversation he originally imagined.
He carefully held the small ball in his hand. Although he was still full of curiosity about this gadget, he also began to realize that the changes brought about by the Administration were far greater than he imagined. More extensive and far-reaching.
Finally, Xia Xiu finished giving the last few instructions, and Hart also had some relevant documents in his hand.
He collected his thoughts, stood up, and bowed slightly to Xia Xiu to express his sincere gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Abraham." There was a hint of respect and gratitude in Hart's voice.
Xia Xiu waved his hand slightly, but his tone remained calm:
"Don't be so formal, Mr. McDowell. Remember, I look forward to cooperating with your union. There is still a long way to go. "
Hart nodded, took the small ball and paperwork, and left the office with complicated emotions.
*

When Hart walked out the door, the dazzling sunlight fell on the ground, and the golden beams of light that penetrated the clouds softly shone on his face.
He subconsciously squinted his eyes slightly, feeling the warm light spreading all over his body, bringing a kind of peaceful comfort.
His heart seemed to gradually calm down at this moment.
The world outside seemed completely different from what he had seen before.
Hart gently held the small ball and glanced down. The pair of round electronic eyes on the mechanical ball blinked with a lively and naughty expression.
Hart couldn't help but smile slightly, touching it lightly with his fingers, as if he was having some kind of silent communication with it.
At this time, he felt an unprecedented sense of expectation and responsibility, a sense of mission that he, as a union leader, had never been so strongly aware of.
He raised his head and looked into the distance. The sunlight in front of him was shining on the ruins of the isolation zone. The isolation wall slowly fell down amidst the roar of bulldozers. The moment it collapsed into dust, it seemed that an era had followed this wall. ended with the fall.
Those high walls that once imprisoned infected people, those cold isolation and discrimination, are gradually disappearing into the dust of history.
"A new era." Hart said silently to himself.
The depression and hesitation in his heart finally dissipated at this moment.
The pain and confusion of the past are diluted by sunshine and new hope, replaced by a firm belief.
He took a deep breath and felt more relaxed than ever before, as if the burden that had been on his shoulders for many years had been lifted.
The steps under my feet became lighter, and the footsteps became more powerful in the sunlight.
"Hugh Abraham, that lord...he is really the one who can change Terra's fate."
This idea emerged in Hart's mind and quickly took over All his thoughts.
He had never believed so firmly that that man, the fourth sword-bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven, the leader of the Administration, would be the man who changed the fate of the entire Terra.
