Inazuma, since the resurrection of the first-generation Electro Archon, Raiden Makoto,
has reached deep cooperation with Liyue.
No one knows exactly how many projects have been cooperated on, but everyone only knows
that today's Inazuma is constantly changing every day.
Many things have already been figured out independently.
Especially the shipbuilding industry and related fields, which have now formed their own small industrial chains.
Not to mention Sumeru, which has many scholars of its own.
Now they are also slowly building their own technological systems.
Mondstadt has also begun to exert effort.
Various technologies are being developed.
They must have researched things like power stations.
After all, this is extremely important.
If they kept purchasing equipment from Liyue and asking people to maintain it,
the consumption for Mondstadt would be enormous.
So if they didn't develop it themselves, the annual expenses would be massive.
It was precisely because of this that Mondstadt started researching early on.
Now the technology is very mature and can already be put into use.
Coupled with Albedo's technical support, development has become very smooth.
Although Albedo is currently working for Mondstadt, Takumi doesn't mind him supporting Mondstadt.
Besides, Albedo's support is mostly answering some complex technical questions.
It can't really be considered a loss.
"It seems Mondstadt's development is going very well."
"That's really great~!"
Takumi couldn't help praising after confirming these things.
Faced with Takumi's praise, Jean felt a little helpless.
"Compared to Liyue, we're still far behind."
"There are many things that still need to be developed."
Although it looks good on the surface, the gap with Liyue is still very large.
No one knows how many years it will take to truly close that gap.
Now Liyue has already begun developing toward space.
Thinking of this, Jean couldn't help feeling envious.
At the same time, she remembered something.
Since Takumi and Ningguang were both here, she decided to bring it up directly.
"Takumi, can the subway that Liyue built also be constructed in Mondstadt?"
"We also need a subway system here."
"Once a large number of houses are built and people move in, mobility will definitely be affected."
"So there are some things that need to be prepared in advance."
"Even though the city isn't fully built yet,
some planning can already be put on the agenda."
Takumi raised his eyebrows when he heard Jean's words.
"A subway?"
"If you want to build it, that's fine."
"I can give you the blueprints, and you can implement them yourselves."
"Tunnels will still need to be dug on your own."
"Of course, you can also ask me to handle it directly."
"I could finish it for you immediately."
"But if that happens, a lot of job opportunities would disappear at once."
There were two choices.
Takumi could handle everything instantly without any trouble.
Or Mondstadt could build it themselves step by step.
After hearing this, Jean immediately made her decision.
"We'll do it ourselves!"
"Takumi, please help me with the blueprints."
Of course she had to let Mondstadt handle it themselves.
Only in this way could more employment opportunities be created.
That was the whole point of infrastructure construction—
to stimulate the economy and let more people earn money.
Naturally, she couldn't let Takumi finish everything alone.
Hearing her answer, Takumi nodded.
"Alright."
"I'll prepare the blueprints for you."
Takumi wasn't surprised by Jean's choice.
He closed his eyes briefly and began constructing Mondstadt's subway layout in his mind.
Soon, Takumi opened his eyes.
After glancing at Jean, he directly summoned a tool and displayed the blueprint.
Then he handed it to her.
"Take a look."
"This subway line connects several cities in Mondstadt."
"If you want to build it, it will still be somewhat difficult."
"It's best to get machines to assist."
"Otherwise, who knows how long it would take just to dig."
Hearing Takumi's words, Jean nodded.
She took the blueprint and carefully examined it.
Seeing the contents, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Thank you!"
"With this, we can arrange people to start construction."
"In the future, travel will be much more convenient."
"And this project can officially be added to the agenda."
After becoming an Archon, Jean naturally became aware of Teyvat's expansion.
She had even been summoned to Celestia once.
There, she learned many things.
If possible, it was best to build these facilities in advance.
That way, many future problems could be avoided.
Now, all nations are continuously developing themselves.
Liyue remains the fastest-growing among them.
Because of Liyue's rapid development, other nations are also accelerating their progress.
The second fastest developing nation is Snezhnaya.
Alchemy has always been highly advanced there.
Now, many technical specialists have also gathered in Liyue.
Although they follow different development paths,
many aspects are progressing very well.
At present, all nations are immersed in development.
Even the Abyss Order has gone quiet across Teyvat.
No one knows what they are planning.
Because of this, Teyvat has entered a rare period of peace.
In the past, there were always members of the Abyss Order or the Fatui active around Teyvat.
Now, they are almost completely silent.
Many Fatui members have even been recalled to work as contractors.
As for other cross-border organizations, their numbers have dropped sharply.
Groups like the Treasure Hoarders have all gone to work as laborers.
The same goes for Sumeru's Eremites.
And also the wandering samurai from Inazuma.
After many of them were captured, they followed Liyue's example and were sent directly to labor camps.
Forced to work.
This saved a lot on wages.
Why wouldn't people make use of that?
Everyone sat together and continued chatting about development issues.
In reality, Jean was mainly asking Takumi and Ningguang for advice.
She raised many questions that had been troubling her.
Even Lisa occasionally joined in to ask questions.
As a newly appointed Archon, Jean felt significant pressure regarding Mondstadt's future.
She was afraid of making mistakes.
When she was Acting Grand Master, she only needed to manage Mondstadt internally.
As long as nothing went wrong, that was enough.
But after becoming an Archon, many more issues had to be considered.
That was unavoidable.
After all, wasn't it Venti's intention for her to take this role—
to guide Mondstadt toward better development?
Because of this, Jean was under immense pressure.
So she wanted to ask as many questions as possible.
Takumi looked at Jean and, after thinking for a moment, gave many suggestions.
Although Takumi had already reached a complete stage himself,
his growth had not stopped.
The development of civilization was still beneficial to him.
