The reduction in the number of teleportation formations had the greatest impact on the vast empires like the Great Xia, the Dawson Dynasty, and the Romanov Dynasty.
In a short period of time, there would definitely be some inconveniences.
Especially for the Romanov Dynasty. Without the support of teleportation formations, their control over the Far East region would definitely be greatly weakened.
This was the only good news for the Great Xia.
Gaia's reduction in the number of teleportation formations was also a consideration for the industrialization process.
With the rise of railroads, road transportation had entered a period of rapid development. As long as a complete network of railroads and roads was established, the use of teleportation formations would be greatly reduced.
In the future, there was the possibility of Gaia eliminating all teleportation formations.
Other than reducing the number of teleportation formations, Gaia also greatly increased the teleportation fees. For every person teleported, the teleportation fee was as high as 500 gold coins. It was truly an astronomical expense.
This price was in line with the function of the teleportation formations.
From then on, it would be impossible for an army to use teleportation formations. Just think about it, just teleporting a hundred thousand soldiers would cost five million gold coins.
And that was just a one-way trip.
If the return trip was added, even the wealthy Great Xia would not be able to afford it.
In the future, teleportation formations would become the choice of a minority of people in special situations. For example, if Ouyang Shuo wanted to patrol the overseas territories, he could use teleportation formations.
Of course, the number of people accompanying him had to be greatly reduced, or else the expenses would be astronomical.
Stop the distribution of gold coins.
In the entire world, aside from the Ashoka Dynasty, there was no other NPC dynasty. Therefore, compared to before, the number of gold coins in the system's total production was becoming smaller and smaller.
The main driving force behind the increase in the production of gold coins came from the gold mines around the world.
For example, the twenty million gold coins that the Banto Dynasty paid to the Great Xia for firearms came from the gold mines in the South Africa region. Otherwise, the Banto Dynasty's finances would not be able to create such a value.
In this update, Gaia completely stopped the production of gold coins. From now on, be it the system's capital cities, the rewards for players' quests, or the rewards for lords, there would not be a gold coin option.
Not only that, Gaia also stopped the conversion of gold mines into gold coins.
This also meant that on a global scale, the total amount of gold coins would no longer increase. Reforging gold coins into gold bricks like the Great Xia would also greatly reduce the number of gold coins.
On the contrary, with the wave of industrialization, the global resources were increasing at an exponential rate. In the process of trade, there was an objective demand for the growth of gold coins.
Otherwise, the value of gold coins would constantly increase.
On a global scale, the value of gold coins would usher in a period of turbulence.
In order to deal with this change, it was necessary for the various dynasties to issue their own currencies. In this way, gold coins, or rather, gold, would only be used as a measure of value in the future, but not as a currency for direct transactions.
A new currency system was about to emerge.
Of course, for a long time, the price of gold would still be an important reference for currencies.
In the recently concluded eighth year of Gaia, Grand Xia had raked in more than 200 million gold coins from various overseas dynasties. Together with its own gold coins, it became the dynasty with the largest gold reserves in the world.
According to preliminary estimates, more than 35% of the world's gold was stored in Great Xia.
In this way, Great Xia would have the biggest say in the price of gold in the future. If they could obtain the right to set the price of gold, it would be even more incredible.
Apart from that, Great Xia was also the first dynasty to establish a complete monetary system.
The Great Xia currency had already been widely used in the empire and had entered the daily consumption of the commoners. Hence, the fluctuation of the gold price had the least impact on the Great Xia economy.
Aside from the Great Xia, the Indian Empire, the Banto Dynasty, and the Dawson Dynasty would also become the winners of this Great Game of Gold, thanks to their rich gold reserves.
In comparison, the European dynasties were miserable.
[4] Permanently ban nuclear technology.
As the technology tree of the second industrial revolution was fully unlocked, the birth of nuclear weapons such as hydrogen bombs and atomic bombs was probably only a matter of time. After all, there were no technological obstacles.
Nuclear deterrence was clearly something Gaia did not wish to see.
In the Federation era, all nuclear weapons had been destroyed, and what was left was the use of nuclear energy.
Gaia clearly had its considerations when it listed nuclear technology as prohibited in the game world. Without nuclear deterrence, it would be difficult for the game world to have true peace.
War would never disappear from the game world.
[5] Open the Gendaya Continent.
The Gendaya civilization was the only one among the four known mysterious civilizations that had yet to surface.
According to legend, the Gendaya Continent was a continent that rose from the bottom of the sea after an underwater volcano erupted 962 thousand years ago.
The sea that connected the African continent and the South American continent was where the continent used to be.
The Gendaya Continent set by Gaia was not only the last unopened map of the game world, it was also the main base of the monsters' nest. On the continent, monsters ran amok, and it was a 100% simulation of the environment of Planet Hope.
To the dynasties, this was clearly not a good place to go.
Moreover, it was currently in a period of global chaos, so it was even more impossible for anyone to go there.
On the other hand, Ouyang Shuo showed great interest in this. He was prepared to form an expedition team after the new year to explore the Gendaya Continent.
Obtaining information on the Gendaya Continent was equivalent to obtaining information on Planet Hope.
This was something that nothing else could compare to.
The last system update only had the above five items.
After Ouyang Shuo finished reading, he could clearly feel that Gaia was withdrawing from the game world as much as possible. The only thing that could face Gaia's existence was probably the players' real-time Achievement points.
In a year, the Xia territory expanded once again. More importantly, the quality of development had significantly improved. Even Ouyang Shuo's Achievement points had experienced an explosive increase.
As of now, Ouyang Shuo's Achievement points had reached 50 million, more than tripled from last year. He was already halfway to the next level of S-rank authority.
At this rate of development, Ouyang Shuo was likely to become the first human to have S-rank authority.
What the players, including Ouyang Shuo, did not know was that other than releasing the system update, the NPC world was also quietly undergoing a round of "update."
After this round of update, the image of Mother Gaia would be erased from the minds of the NPCs. In their memories, the existence of Mother Gaia was only a distant myth.
Gaia also gave the NPCs true freedom.
From then on, the game world would really be like a real world.
How vast was the universe? Not only the material plane was considered a real world. Virtual worlds like the game world that were built on data were also considered a real plane.
There was no essential difference between it and the real universe.
