Gu Shun stood on the viewing platform of the city lord's mansion in the face of the sun. The excited shouts of the people resounded like a tsunami, over the lower city, and lasted for a long time.

Countless people opened their arms to embrace the sun, and they had never been bathed in the sun as they are today.

For everyone in the Lower City, the gray and dark sky is the main color of the Lower City from small to large.

I heard someone shouting loudly: "It was the city lord who brought us the sun, he was the sun god, the god who came to save the downtown."

In an instant, countless echoes came everywhere, praise and worshipping Gu Shun as the sun god in the world.

Faced with the worship of the people, Gu Shun could only smile and express that science tells us that there is no god in the world, but behind science tells us that the end of technology is theology.

Immediately afterwards, the highly anticipated review began.

Compared with a year ago, this inspection was larger in scale, more people participated, and the equipment was more advanced than a year ago.

In the atmosphere of vigorously developing science and advocating science, a large number of researchers who have not received attention and preferential treatment in various city-states have come to Xiacheng one after another.

Of course, Gu Shun refused everyone and gave them the conditions as good as possible to conduct research with peace of mind.

With the help of these experts, the equipment of the Lower City has been greatly improved and upgraded, greatly improving combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the birth of more and more new weapons has also enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Xiacheng army, and it has greatly exalted its power in this inspection.

Among the troops under review, there were many parliamentary soldiers who had put down their weapons and turned against each other.

Last year they were still in the crowd, envious of the soldiers who walked through the square.

Now they have become one of them, as the New City-State army, they are being watched and inspected by all the people.

As part of this newly born city-state, they are extremely proud and proud.

This is the best era, this is the era of the rise of heroes. They vow to defend the glory of the downtown with their lives and engrave their youth in the torrent of the downtown rolling forward.

When passing by the viewing platform, all the soldiers looked at Gu Shun standing on it with great respect. He was their city lord, a person who was even greater than a god in the downtown.

Countless people looked at the soldiers and equipment with honor, and walked through the square in front of the city lord's mansion.

The power of Xiacheng is obvious to all. Gu Shun has greatly enhanced the cohesion and pride of Xiacheng people through this move.

They will completely get out of their inferiority complex as lower-city people, and move forward bravely with a fearless innocent heart.

Seeing so many weapons and equipment that had never been seen passing by, some of the Gentile delegations invited to attend the ceremony were stunned.

They sighed one after another, it turned out that they could still play like this.

So this activity was immediately copied by other city-states and quickly became popular in all city-states.

At the same time, these missions also felt unprecedented pressure. The speed of the downtown rises and the potential it contains is undoubtedly.

The Xiacheng also used this to completely break the previous prejudice of being closed, backward, poor, vulgar, polluted and weak.

The city-state Maita City, which was once extremely dazzling and famous in the world, has now returned to people's sight.

After the celebration ceremony, the number of applications for resident status in the Lower Town skyrocketed, and many businessmen and refugees from all over the country hoped to join the Lower Town.

Compared to the city-state where they lived before, merchants prefer this vibrant and hopeful emerging city.

Because they saw an unparalleled future from the city lord Gu Shun.

The city-state that once attracted worldwide attention is coming soon.

...

In the public library open to all the people in the Lower City, Gu Shun spent a long time finally reading a thick book about the history of Lower City.

After winning the title of the Lord of Xiacheng, Gu Shun did not relax or slack at all. Because he wanted to create a more glorious life, this victory was only one step in a journey of a thousand miles.

He aimed his next target at the east side of the city and inspected the upper city separated by the city.

If you want to know yourself and your enemy, Gu Shun must know more about Shangcheng. Information and information are the basis for him to formulate all strategies and plans.

So, in addition to handling the affairs of the downtown and spending time with his grandmother, Gu Shun read a large number of books about the uptown and downtown.

Through history, Gu Shun learned that the upper city and the lower city once belonged to the same city-state, Maita City.

Maita City is rich in minerals and its land is very fertile, so it was the most powerful city-state in the world a long time ago, no doubt about it.

The name of Maita City comes from the vast wheat fields outside the city and blast furnaces smelted after mining of minerals.

Due to its prosperity since ancient times, Maita City has gradually become a prosperous city-state integrating agriculture, mineral smelting and trade, and the scale of the city-state has continued to expand.

With the development of the three industrial revolutions in this world, Maita City became more developed. The first steam engine, the first train, the first generator, and the first computer were born here one after another.

This city-state also attracts countless foreigners who are eager to stand out and pursue a better life gathered here from all directions.

They built one house after another outside the city, and the scale of Maita City continued to expand, gradually covering the nearby mountains and once fertile fields.

As the population increases, the conflict that has accumulated for a long time in Maita City finally broke out.

Some people in Maita City began to reject the Gentiles, who believed that they were the real citizens of Maita City, and that the prosperity and honor of Maita City belonged only to them, so these despicable foreigners should be expelled.

Another group of people opposed this, thinking that the Gentiles were the best cheap labor force.

No matter which faction, one thing is the same.

They are arrogant and conceited, arrogant, and think that they are the best city-state in the world, the Tiancheng Shangbang.

However, they led the three industrial revolutions one after another, and they had such arrogant capital.

Gradually, most residents who were extremely excluding Gentiles and companies and researchers who pursued a better scientific research environment moved to high places and established new cities there.

The residents who stayed here continued to live on this land. The earliest prototypes of the upper and lower cities were formed.

Later, Maita City, a mountainous part, developed a simulation chip that has influenced the present day. Through it, you can enter the meta-universe world and indulge in the world of fantasy and virtual weaving.

This virtual world built on technologies such as vr, ar, xr was initially popular and quickly became popular between the entire Maita City and the world.

But a nightmare ruined everything.

A Trojan virus called Spider Cut quickly spread in the world of the metaverse. Although the service providers of the metaverse tried every possible way, they were still helpless against the Trojan.

As a result, the metaverse world collapsed, a large amount of data was completely lost, and countless people who made their living by this went bankrupt instantly.

Coupled with the pollution caused by the occupation of a large amount of arable land and urban expansion, people are immersed in the virtual world and have no time to take into account the real world. Grain production is reduced and almost out of stock.

Maita City suffered heavy damage in that disaster and suffered heavy losses.

Upper City and Lower City also had huge differences in the metaverse. Lower City believed that the thing created by Upper City was the culprit in everything, so it forbidden the Meta Universe and its chips in Maita City.

The upper city controlled by the company naturally cannot sit idly by and watch such huge profits be banned, so they refused to accept the ban on the lower city on the grounds that they were the orthodox city. The two cities completely parted ways, and the city of Maita was divided into two.

Later, the relationship between the two cities became worse and worse.

Because the altitude of the lower city is lower than that of the upper city and is close to the upper city, a large amount of pollution naturally flows into the lower city.

The Lower City was gradually covered by fog, land was polluted, grain production was reduced, and a large number of people moved out. The Lower City was increasingly decayed and withered.

The upper city has almost hollowed out the mountain foundation where the upper city is located because of the unlimited mining of minerals in the lower city, resulting in constant earthquakes in the upper city.

The upper city had to build a large number of tall towers, burying the foundation deep underground, preventing the entire city from being buried in the mountains due to the collapse of the mountain.

In this way, the original family became enemies and mortal enemies.

The two city-states have completely different concepts regarding technology. Shangcheng rebuilt the meta-universe world after the disaster, and continued to develop technology and improve its own strength.

In order to prevent the Gentiles from moving over, the arrogant Shangcheng people occupied their already small land and destroyed the order of Shangcheng, so they set up border inspections around the city.

Except for trade merchants and diplomats, all people are prohibited from entering and leaving the city.

Xiacheng believes that everything is the result of technology. Maita City lives well enough with minerals and planting, and does not need any meta-universe or technological creations. Therefore, it refuses all new technological products to be popular and used in Xiacheng, and also keeps itself in seclusion.

The original Maita City was officially split into the upper city and the lower city, and has continued to this day.

Due to the differences in development concepts, the gap between the upper city and the lower city is getting bigger and bigger.

The prosperity and development of Shangcheng and the development of technology have made Shangcheng a neon city and a city that is brightly lit day and night among merchants.

The lower city has become a sin city and fog city that everyone despises and dislikes in the increasingly exhausted minerals and heavy pollution.

The closure and isolation of the two cities have completely become synonymous with loss in the world.

But now, Gu Shun's rise has completely broken all this.

He made the face of the Lower City look fresh, and the long-lost name appeared on the mainland again.

Gu Shun roughly understood the past and present of the two city-states and began his own plan to unify Maita City.
