I, transformed into a vampire girl, sparked the Industrial Revolution.

Chapter 102 The final outcome

"The roar of industry began to dominate the world, nations began to awaken in the darkness, and modern states began to take shape... I will ride the tide of public enlightenment and spread ambition and enlightenment throughout the world!"

——————Alice Delalaye

The chilly spring rain of April swept through Trian. Alice sat upright in the car, the raindrops pattering against the glass. Her face was pressed against the edge of the glass and the car door as she looked out the window.

The magical light scatters in all directions through the rain, forming beams of light in red, yellow, green, and blue. The second-generation magical light only needs to add different metallic elements when melting the light core, just like when melting glass, to display different colors.

The Trian urban development project is nearing completion, with almost every block transformed from wooden or thatched houses into reinforced concrete townhouses, which Alice has given a name to: "Brooklyn style".

Three- to four-story Brooklyn-style townhouses can accommodate six to eight families, with almost no gaps between buildings. All buildings have a communal terrace. In each block, several ground-floor units are replaced by department stores. In the plans of the professional but not entirely professional city planning bureau, each block must have small commercial shops for daily consumption. Within the segmented urban space planning table, there will be a large department store or supermarket every five kilometers. These markets will provide all the goods that residents need for daily life, even including furniture and cars.

The city's overall layout is a radial ring road. The city center, namely the Red House and the adjacent Trian Botanical Garden (currently under construction), as well as the adjacent administrative and research areas, including the Amelansi National Union University, the Amelansi Polytechnic University, and the area encompassed by the Trian government peninsula, is known as the old Trian walled district. After Alice initiated the Trian urban development plan, the original Trian city walls were demolished, and a four-lane inner ring road with a central green belt was built. The construction of buildings taller than 20 meters is prohibited in the entire inner ring area.

Outside the Second Ring Road are the commercial and residential areas, which are the core of Trian's population. When it was planned, the Second Ring Road was divided by a four-lane main road, and the area within the block was divided by single-lane roads. The Second Ring Road was extensively equipped with public transportation, including a public transportation network of buses, trams and taxis established by several state-owned public transportation companies such as Trian Bus Company, Trian Rail Transport Company and Trian Taxi Company.

The Third Ring is a six-lane expressway that connects the coastal Trian Chemical Industrial Zone, the Whiterun-Trian-Shilla heavy-duty railway line with Trian Station, and the Trian Magic Power Plant. This is the industrial heart of Trian, where all of Trian's industrial entities are built. Apart from the founding industries that were originally built on the edge of the Second Ring, all industries can now only be built outside the Third Ring.

As cars entered the city via the airport expressway, a large number of concrete buildings sprang up. The Trian city development plan was undoubtedly an exorbitantly priced project. Various upstream and downstream industries flourished, and the government invested heavily in various construction projects. A large number of farmers entered the city and became the most basic labor force, further promoting the formation of the working class.

"We've really facilitated a huge project!"

Alice smiled as she watched Trian transform into a metropolis. Outside the window, workers, trucks, machinery, scaffolding, cement, black smoke, bridge designers and road architects were designing a modern road system for Trian, creating multi-lane roads ahead of their time.

Large numbers of Ford Model Ts, Volkswagens, and Fiats were on the roads, and crude oil began to replace coal as the source of fuel. The samples sent by the Sirens were indeed crude oil, but Alice did not have the capability to drill for seabed oil at the moment, so she could only proceed slowly, first sending exploration teams to the deep-sea oil spill site mentioned by the Sirens.

"Thanks to your work, Amelia is now a completely different place... In my opinion, you are... the greatest... ruler."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Viktor Andreevich, the head of the Interior Ministry, lowered his voice on "the greatest ruler," Alicia and Alice, the former indeed a powerful queen, but not a qualified one.

Alice created a new era, ushered in the industrial age, established various systems and facilities, set up a stable upward channel for ordinary people, established the spirit of Amelia, and built an industrialized future for the world.

Such achievements deserve a large place in history books.

"No, it's not just our achievement alone. The people of this land—you, me, him—we all collectively accomplished this great civilization..."

Alice knew that she was the one who had driven all of this, and that the people she saw everywhere on the street, regardless of race, gender, or background, were the ones who had made this possible.

Viktor Andreevich knew that his princess wasn't someone who valued honor and achievement, but he never understood why she had created all this and refused even a mere title. What was her purpose?

Who knows? In any case, he believes Alice is more suitable for the position of empress than Alicia. However, for the time being, Alice is no different from the empress. All the power she wields is for the development of the country, and she has indeed done so.

Regardless of Amelansi or the unified Crimson Empire, the Demon Race finally has a great and stable nation, and that is the most important thing.

The car entered the Hong Kong Coliseum, and Raffis appeared in front of the entrance. The car door was opened by a maid-knight, and raindrops hit the black umbrella, making a pattering sound.

"Welcome home, miss~"

"Ah, Laphis, it's been so long!"

"Lady Alicia is waiting for you. Of course, please allow me to bathe and change your clothes before that."

Alice's outfit was indeed not very elegant; her clothes were worn and tattered, and she was wearing a military overcoat. Her long white hair was covered with sand and dirt.

There is hot water available for bathing, which is extremely comfortable on a rainy day like this. The Hong Kong Coliseum is equipped with modern facilities for bathing, and the bathing tub is as big as a swimming pool.

Alice undressed, and the maid knight saw several light-colored scars. Although they would soon disappear, they were enough to prove the danger of Alice's bloody battle.

After rinsing the vampire loli clean, Alice stepped into the bathing pool, which wasn't very deep.

"Wow~ So...so good!"

Alice sat in the pool, surrounded by the warm water, not even noticing that she was sitting in a duck-like position.

A head emerged, silvery-white hair floating on the water like drifting water droplets. From the battlefield to the bathhouse, Alice felt reborn.
