Keeping horses alive cost quite a bit. If a horse got sick, you needed to treat it. If a horse accidentally broke its leg, that horse was done for...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were just so many possible accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without considering those things, how long did a horse even live?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But magic-powered vehicles were different. They just needed charging to work. As for charging costs, self-charging magic arrays could provide that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People who had the ability to build self-charging arrays would obviously get it for free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they didn’t have the ability, self-charging arrays had already started spreading everywhere, since using some Magic Net functions required them. They just needed to pay a small fee to have usage rights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, they could also pay a small fee to charge at these self-charging arrays.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, in almost everyone’s perception, magic-powered vehicles definitely cost less than carriages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, the cargo capacity was completely different too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much cargo could a single carriage haul?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How heavy could the cargo be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much could a single magic-powered truck haul?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How fast could a carriage go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How fast could a regular magic-powered vehicle go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could see for themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparing magic-powered vehicles to carriages was basically total domination across the board. They were even more comfortable to ride in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tons of nobles had already expressed interest in buying some.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But neither Roster territory nor Viscount Roster had shown any intention of selling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they could finally buy them, which naturally caused huge waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wonder how much one of these vehicles costs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m definitely buying a few trucks. The transportation demand here is just too huge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I went to Foster Iron Mine before, and seeing those mine carts made me so jealous. Now that they’re going on sale, I’m definitely buying one, even if I have to sell everything I own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, same here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you guys think the price will be? Will it be over ten thousand gold coins?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Regular magic-powered vehicles probably won’t be that much, right? Magic-powered trucks might be though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t that too expensive? An agricultural magic-powered machine only costs a few thousand gold coins.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s different. Agricultural magic-powered machinery only needs to work in one area. Speed doesn’t matter—just needs to be strong enough. But other vehicles are totally different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seeing everyone so enthusiastic puts my mind at ease. These vehicles are made entirely of steel—they consume so much steel. Looks like steel futures can keep rising.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one sentence from the convoy leader, the entire online world seemed to boil over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the next few days, the internet went crazy with discussions every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convoy smoothly headed to the City of Epic, then passed through seven or eight more city-state nations, finally arriving at the City of Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that the new-style housing construction site?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From far away, the convoy leader could see countless human figures appearing on the empty land beside the City of Gold’s massive walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, framework after framework had been erected. At a glance, you could tell these frameworks were all made from steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just unclear why, even though a long time had passed and the frameworks were almost finished being assembled, concrete still hadn’t been poured in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convoy leader just figured they probably hadn’t gotten to that step yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe they needed to build all the steel frameworks first, then pour in concrete to establish the building’s actual framework, and finally fill in the walls and such.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The convoy leader shared his general thoughts with the livestream: \"Anyway, I think this is already pretty impressive. Look how high these building frameworks are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After they’re built, you’ll probably be able to directly overlook the entire City of Gold from up there. The person who designed and built this building is a real talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>History had a sense of convergence at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ren were paying attention to all this, he’d definitely sigh that this scene was exactly like the steel trust from his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A capitalist in the steel business originally built bridges and railroads. During competition with the Rockefeller family, he faced serious restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost went bankrupt and got swallowed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the most dangerous moment, he invented skyscrapers and built the famous Home Insurance Building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the establishment of the Home Insurance Building, countless skyscrapers began spreading across the new continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This steel industry capitalist used this opportunity to swallow up tons of mines, factories, sales operations, and more, creating a steel empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By creating this new-style building and creating demand, he managed to build himself into one of the top companies of that era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This moment, just like that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except the plot was a bit hazy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this world, the first to start building skyscrapers were believers of the Church of Technology at Foster Iron Mine, with the goal of giving every local miner their own home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these miners would also pay a huge price—most of their income for the next twenty years would go toward buying this home, paying the money to Dragon Bank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, the construction site appearing next to the City of Gold actually had some issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like it was purely to show people how much steel building a skyscraper like this would require!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed prepared to set the stage for steel futures to keep rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, not many people in this world understood new-style housing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody noticed anything wrong with this construction site at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People were all marveling at such a massive project, wondering if a building like this really wouldn’t collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was the safety really guaranteed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thing looked as tall as a mountain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some people also questioned whether building such a tall structure would make the building itself thicker, darker, stuffier, heavier...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were problems traditional stone-built houses had to face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, amid a huge crowd’s discussions, the convoy slowly drove into this famous City of Gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The castellan of the City of Gold personally came to greet them, showing extreme importance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve already prepared the exhibition area and the stage you need according to our advance communication, honored Mister Adventurer, representative of Viscount Roster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1151,"2026-06-06T14:38:03.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","8888082a12cb524a30b5d842a8fb7b9fdebf6cef30f8f4b8334638cccc3e4858","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-445","god-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-chapter-443",524,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fgod-of-technology-creating-the-internet-in-anoth-cover.jpg"]
