Chapter 1370 - 642: How Should You Respond When I Present the Saint Byron Code?_2

It’s not necessary for the entire ship to use extraordinary materials; the cost is entirely acceptable.

Byron is always a pragmatist; whether it’s mass-produced weapons or miracle objects, it’s a good cat as long as it catches mice, whether black or white.

Byron also reminded Violet:

"Young Lady, once the finished product is ready, conduct sea trials in the Corridor of Truth. It is imperative to maintain strict confidentiality in our domestic shipyards.

The North Sea Empire is just one step away from reaching the summit; we cannot afford any unexpected errors at this time."

The girl rolled her eyes at him charmingly:

"I know, do I need you to tell me?"

Now, they only have the first prototype ship, "The Fearless," launched as a "Dreadnought-class Battleship," which is their secret weapon.

Before they gather enough to formally build a fleet, they will not reveal it to other forces on the Silver Continent.

From the initiative by [Araiyer] to contact Byron, it seems the creator’s systemic collapse has become quite serious.

The [Papal Tiara] is reputed to be equal to a demigod, yet its power source is the authority of the creator and the power of law from the Silver Law.

Under these circumstances, no one can say how much might is left.

Now is the perfect time for them to take action.

Even if the Church does not challenge them for the North Sea Empire’s crown, they would actively cause trouble for the Church.

It can be foreseen that, already having defeated the Puppet King and Juana, the Castilia Twin Kings, along with their Invincible Fleet, are the biggest obstacles.

As long as the North Sea Empire is given enough time, steam battleships crushing sail battleships, and industrial nations crushing agricultural ones, is just a matter of course.

Byron and Violet are raring to give everyone a shock from the steam era!

"Hey, the Corridor of Truth trip has ended perfectly, spirituality has reached 24.9, when are you two planning to go home?

The first link of the demigod promotion ceremony [World Transformation], ’Scissors Difference in Industry and Agriculture,’ still needs Violet to personally oversee.

The second link, ’Financial War,’ could start at any moment.

You haven’t seen the grand spectacle of Netherlands Kingdom merchants hoarding tulip bulbs after I issued purchase orders.

I worry that the Remit People of the Netherlands Kingdom may not hold back. If you stay out until the end of the year before coming back, you may not see the Netherlands Kingdom’s last face."

Catherine’s consciousness descended into one of Violet’s incarnations, turned into her own appearance, and started a family meeting.

Every decision they make from now on will profoundly impact the material world.

"Privately speaking."

Byron held the hand of each queen and took a step to arrive at the top floor of the Golden Mist Palace, sitting on the sofa by the master bedroom’s floor-to-ceiling window.

He held Catherine and Violet on each of his thighs, wrapped his arms around their slender waists, and together they gazed over the sea to the Silver Continent, speaking softly:

"The tides of the world are mighty and irresistible. Those who ride them prosper, those who resist die.

The material world is ready to enter the next stage; we are merely pushing it forward, the ceremony can begin at any time.

No need to worry, no matter who dares to stand in our way at this time, they will certainly meet a tragic end.

After celebrating with a victory feast and human alliance, tidying things up briefly, we’ll set off back home."

The promotion ceremonies corresponding to [Creation], [Finance], [Reform]—the three main divine positions—complement each other, all part of the world transformation.

It’s akin to following the tide; while raising productivity, for the first time, releasing a beast named "Capital" in this world.

Byron also depicted to the two queens for the first time how the "pirate nation" is about to transform, using another method to plunder the world’s future:

"The economic foundation determines the superstructure; no one can leap forward and ignore the historical progression.

Thus, the ’Industrial Revolution’ is both a revolution in production technology and a profound revolution in social relations, reshuffling the entire world.

With the steady development of the Industrial Revolution, this world is about to enter the next social process: the ’Capitalist’ era, where capital will dominate all.

The world will break away from its centuries-old unchanging state and embark on the fast track of development and reform.

Those unable to adapt to the ever-changing progress are destined to be abandoned by the world.

My sister’s [Finance] divine position, the Young Lady’s [Creation] divine position, including my [Reform] divine position, which is just a tad short of being condensed, will all thrive.

It can even be said that this world is tailor-made for the three of us.

Its prerequisites are two-fold:

First, there must be a large number of hired laborers with personal freedom but without production materials, such as: landless peasants;

Second, concentrate large amounts of production materials and monetary wealth into the hands of a few, converting them into capital that can be used to create wealth.

Any country meeting these two conditions can follow us into the new era.

However, we must pay early attention to one key issue.

The establishment of a capital economy is a prerequisite to further catalyzing the Industrial Revolution, and the future victory of the Industrial Revolution globally will further solidify capital.

Thus inevitably solidifying this class’s economic and... political power!"

When saying "political power," Byron emphasized those four words.

It can be said that in the era of industrial civilization, for any major power to be considered illustrious, the standard is to possess an industrial system of their own.

This not only represents immense wealth but is also the cornerstone of maintaining overall national strength and upholding hegemony.
