God of Technology: Creating the Internet in Another World-Chapter 505: There Are Already This Many Factories!

Things went just as Ren thought.

As these churches one by one established their own factories and started making profits through Magic Net video sales, Shopping Mall functions, or through the Golden Merchant Guild, sure enough, territories also began their industrialization reforms.

Or perhaps because the groundwork laid before was too good, in a short time, these factories appeared rapidly like mushrooms after rain.

Roster Territory Group Company received more and more orders.

Even Viscount Roster couldn't help falling into contemplation.

"Did I take the wrong path from the start? If we'd had these churches begin industrialization reforms from the beginning, is it possible the whole world would've completed reforms already?"

Viscount Roster looked at the growing number of orders for various production Magic Conductors and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Lord Roster, without all that earlier preparation, how could these churches possibly do these things?"

His secretary said with a wry smile, "Besides, without all the preparations we made, even if they wanted to do this, they wouldn't have the conditions!"

Viscount Roster paused, then nodded.

It did seem to be that way.

Without their series of preparations, without increasingly convenient transportation and more food and mineral output, how could all this be achieved?

If he hadn't forced these lords into a corner, how could they possibly reform?

Even if they saw churches making money in these areas, probably their first thought would be that it was definitely due to the special nature of churches.

It had nothing to do with them.

But now, they'd all been forced into a corner.

Their land was basically worthless.

No matter how much food they produced, they could only feed themselves. If they wanted to sell it to buy other things, it just wasn't worth much.

Plus, the steel futures from before had caused so many people to suffer heavy losses.

At this point, their only choice was to figure out how to embrace the new era.

The churches' success was like giving them a shot of adrenaline.

That's why the current situation appeared.

"Anyway, no matter what, the result is good, much faster than we imagined."

Viscount Roster finally sighed, "Have everyone produce these equipment at full capacity. If nothing unexpected happens, within half a year, there will be at least ten thousand factories on this continent!"

"Don't worry. The managers of various factories, after receiving orders, are all producing like crazy. Quite a few factories have already proactively come to the Southern Territory to meet with Southern Development Company managers, opening second factory zones to ensure equipment output."

Viscount Roster nodded. "Good. Knowing to develop proactively is a very good thing. But remind them—they also need to think about their backup plan. After this production wave passes, the number of orders will drop."

"They need to figure out how to handle excess workers or excess production lines and workshops."

Meanwhile.

On Dragon Island.

Nidhogg the Dragon of Despair looked at these loan orders, his face showing what looked like a terrifying smile.

In fact, the dragon higher-ups were almost all wearing the same expression right now.

In a short time, churches, great lords, and great merchants—who knows what they'd taken—anyway, not long after the Church of Light's loans were distributed, these people came one after another asking for loans, all presenting what looked like very reliable plans.

Originally, the dragons had been struggling with how to transition from precious metal standards to credit currency. Most of the gold and silver on the continent seemed to have already been moved to Dragon Island by them.

If things continued like this, squeezing money from these matters would become increasingly difficult.

Now it was all good. So many giants were coming to them for loans one after another. After these people got their loans, they'd take them to Viscount Roster to buy things.

After Viscount Roster used them to purchase various raw materials and redistribute them, a large portion would enter the stock market, bond market, futures market, and real estate market.

In other words, giving credit currency to these big guys would achieve their originally expected effect.

Gradually diluting the currency bit by bit, eventually completely breaking away from the precious metal standard.

"Speaking of which, it really is amazing. In less than a year of cooperating with Viscount Roster, we've already moved so much gold to Dragon Island."

Nidhogg the Dragon of Despair paused and looked at that white dragon. "I thought you wanted to say that Viscount Roster could actually make most of the churches and nobles on this continent make changes. This is an unprecedented change in a thousand, ten thousand years."

"According to our dragons' records, they haven't had any changes for at least fifty thousand years."

"That is pretty amazing too, but what does that have to do with us? In comparison, I prefer the feeling of just lying around while others keep sending us gold."

That white dragon said with a chuckle, "Don't you think this is like a dream? We don't even need to actively plunder to get almost all the precious metals in this world."

"It's not completely without cost. Those currencies we've issued out are actually equivalent to our loans to them. When they go to the bank, we still have to give them gold and silver coins."

Nidhogg the Dragon of Despair's words made the white dragon smile even more brightly.

Or rather, made all the dragons laugh.

They knew about the reservoir.

They also knew that even if problems arose, no one could take precious metals from them dragons.

Of course, more importantly, they didn't believe the current system would have any problems.

Currency gradually no longer needed precious metals. Even if they said a piece of paper had value, it had value.

Days passed like this, one after another.

More and more people joined this industry.

Especially in those places the ultra-high-speed rail transit system passed through—all the surrounding lords became particularly enthusiastic.

Perhaps there had been some maneuvering between them, but eventually they all converged.

They'd build roads to territories the rail passed through, connecting with those lords' roads to reach the stations.

They'd connect factories with these roads...

With the establishment of the first ultra-high-speed rail transit system, this situation became increasingly obvious. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

When this rail line was established, Viscount Roster was shocked to discover that just along this route, there were a terrifying nine thousand-plus large factories.

Medium and small factories, as well as auxiliary factories providing materials to these factories, were countless.

Viscount Roster even worried a bit—with them producing so many things, could they really sell it all?

But thinking about these things only happened when there wasn't much to do while traveling.

He had way too many things to do right now.

Right now, he was on his way to the City of Gold.
