Chapter 608: The World With Technology Distorted
The world of heaven and man is like the western world. This is not a casual statement from Gao Li, but a conclusion drawn based on Ailu's description of the world of heaven and man. The world of heaven and man has a long history, about tens of thousands of years, but just like Gao Li's human history in his previous life, humans have basically lived like wild beasts for tens of thousands of years, and have only made great progress in the last few thousand years. In the past few hundred years, it was an era of crazy technology development. The technicians there invented machines that can travel through time and space. It was with that kind of machine that the celestial beings came to this world. In the world of heaven and man, there are also industrial agriculture, social and financial developments like this world. After all, this world is almost transformed by heaven and man according to their world, so the difference between the two is basically not much.
"Wait, I have a question." Gao Li asked while eating.
"You ask." Ai Lu was very assigned to the team.
"Are there great differences in cultures in your world, different countries?" Gao Li asked.
"Very big." Ai Lu said, "For example, the border area, it was originally a big country, but because it was in the center of the mainland, they called themselves the central kingdom. However, because the central kingdom did not contact the ocean and was surrounded by other countries, their own development was very limited, and other countries around could bully them at will, and the borders narrowed almost every year. For the people of the central kingdom, basically all foreign countries are enemy countries. Because of this, the people of the central kingdom will devote a lot of energy to this world after discovering this world. They hope to treat this world as their new land. Unfortunately, as those who come to explore this side stay here longer and longer, the separation between the two sides becomes more and more serious. People here do not want to go back or fight for the people of the central kingdom."
"So, the talents of the Central Kingdom are released and annihilated, wanting to force them to go back?" Gao Li asked.
"Of course it's impossible. They are not crazy. How could they cast annihilation on their own people? The Central Kingdom is fighting with foreign countries. Those foreign countries are afraid of the combat power here, so they specially sent people to secretly hand over the annihilation method to you monkey demons. The result is that the gods and evil spirits here were all bombed to death. And the Central Kingdom outside has also become the current 'border zone' because of its retreating step by step." Ai Lu said.
So that's the case, to be honest, it's really surprising.
However, what really made Gao Li sigh was another thing.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten." Gao Li sighed.
All the eyes around him stared at Gao Li at the same time.
"What does it mean?" Ling Long asked.
"It means that if you fall behind, you will be beaten." Gao Li smiled and repeated, and then explained: "Our world is too weak, so weak that it has no way to decide your own destiny. The people of the Central Kingdom plan to turn this place into their backyard and turn the life of this world into their people. This is the will of the heavenly beings. The enemies of the Central Kingdom do not want this to happen, so the annihilation they brought to make the monkey demons in this world annihilation, eliminating the heavenly beings and evil. Although they indirectly gain freedom, this is essentially under the control of the heavenly beings."
"Let's go further, the Central Kingdom has been eroded for so many years, and it can't even rely on the machine that takes off to travel through the air to find a way out in this world. I have to say that the plan is very large, but if they really have a way to fight against foreign countries, they wouldn't have done such a time-consuming and energy-consuming thing. So, it's just one sentence in the final analysis."
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten." Ling Long said.
"That's not necessarily true. Look at Yanan, you are so behind, and you didn't hit us." The person who spoke was Ruan Suya, who was grilling fish.
"Because I am a good person, but you can't expect every strong man to be a good person. If I were a war maniac rather than a businessman, the first thing I did when I came to Yannan City was to conquer Yanan. Is there any other way you can?" Gao Li asked.
"Surrender." Ruan Suya has now understood what Gao Li's ability means, and of course she also knows how difficult it is to fight Gao Li.
"So, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. For example, if you don't say that you are far away, just now. Is the emperor jealous of a person as rich as me? Do you want my skills? The emperor wants to be jealous of the emperor and want it. What should I do? He wants to hit me, but he dare not. Why? Because I am strong enough, he dare not attack me easily, so we can maintain a superficial balance." Gao Li continued.
"It is difficult to create true friendship between countries. There are so many resources in the world. If you want to occupy a little more, I need to have less. This is the so-called zero-sum game. If several countries can maintain a surface balance, it means that both sides can gain benefits from other places, which is to transfer contradictions. Once both sides have a common goal of interest, this friendship will be broken immediately. At that time, if there is no weapon to decide the outcome, the final result will be to be rubbed on the ground."
"Then, is this the case between you and Yanan?" Ruan Suya asked.
Gao Li said: "According to the current development speed, it will not reach that level in a few hundred years, because the consumption speed of our resources has not reached that level. You must not guess how fast the consumption speed of our world can achieve in resources. Oh, by the way, the biggest advantage of this world is that it has true energy. It is a waste to only use this thing to fight. If a more advanced usage is truly developed in the future, it may be able to fundamentally resolve conflicts. After all, all problems in the world are energy issues."
Gao Li said, everyone listened and had their own opinions.
Ai Lu then talked about that world, and the people around him listened and rebuilt that world in their own way.
Finally, it was concluded that it was a world at the junction of civilization and wilderness. The technology of that world had breakthroughs and leaps in different directions, but the problem was that social civilization did not improve with the leap of technology. On the contrary, the material life in that world was not very rich, and the spiritual life was pitifully small, and the whole world was full of depression.
Gao Li asked about many details and proved this from different directions.
This is quite strange.
Usually, technological progress will be accompanied by material progress. The abundant material will further promote technological progress. These two are a complementary relationship. However, the heavens and human worlds can actually tear up space. According to Ai Lu, even middle-class people are only able to eat enough.
This is so strange.
Gao Li pondered, Nonoka handed Ai Lu something and asked, "Cause?"
"I don't have digestive organs, and this mouth is actually a decoration. Because I don't have lungs, I use true qi to vibrate the vocal cords. So, I won't eat it, thank you." Ai Lu said.
Gao Li looked at Ling Long and asked, "Are you from the Central Kingdom?"
Ling Long nodded and said, "It should be."
Gao Li said: "As a noble, you should have no worries about food and clothing."
Ling Long said: "It should be."
Gao Li said: "Can you recall what delicious food is in the celestial world?"
Ling Long shook his head and said, "All my memories of food come from this world. Even in my previous life, the peaches given to me by the monkey demon were extremely delicious."
So what kind of world is this? Is it really a world of true Qi Punk? Overdeveloped? A person has two nutritional capsules a day? It doesn’t sound like it.
"So, Ai Lu, are you from the Central Kingdom?" Gao Li asked.
"Of course I'm not. I'm a highlander, the Fierce Plateau, and life over us is even harder," said Ai Lu.
This kind of thing is quite strange. You obviously have high technology, but high technology does not bring a good life. The technology is wrong? Or what's going on?
"Wife, if you say so, your sister's purpose is to take the army back and fight with foreign countries." Gao Li said.
"The possibility is extremely high." Ling Long nodded.
"Sister? Who?" asked Chu Miaoyi, who was gnawing on pig's trotters.
"It's sister." Gao Li smiled.
"Oh? Is this still necessary to be kept secret?" Chu Miaoyi asked.
"It will be embarrassing if you know, it's better not to know." Gao Li said.
"I don't believe it! You aroused my desire for knowledge all at once! Hurry! Tell me quickly!" Chu Miaoyi said.
"The emperor's princess who just returned, your third sister's mother, Ling Xue, is my wife's sister." Gao Li said.
"Ha? Then I have to call Sister Ling Long?" Chu Miaoyi widened her eyes.
"Yes, isn't it awkward?" Gao Li said with a smile.
"Not embarrassing at all! Aunt! Uncle Man! Haha, you can just ask for red envelopes during the Chinese New Year! Yes!" Chu Miaoyi was proud and Gao Li was embarrassed.
"Oh, poor man." Nonoka shook her head helplessly.
Gao Li leaned on the chair, thinking about it, and sum it up.
People around him watched him thinking, but no one disturbed him, but just looked at him with frowns for a while, and then relaxed. After a while, Gao Li scratched his head and said: "You guys say, do we want to do business with the border?"
Everyone present was shocked.
"My husband, you...you are so good." Nonoka held it in for a long time before saying this.
"Okay? Is that amazing?" Gao Li laughed.
"You're crazy," said Ai Lu.
"Why do you think I'm crazy?" Gao Li asked back.
"Will you do business with a group of ants?" Ai Lu asked.
"Yes, look." Gao Li pointed to the sky, and a pair of patrol soldiers with ants flew over.
"Hello!" Gao Li shouted.
"Hello!" the soldiers and ants shouted immediately, and then flew over a series of cheers of "The boss is saying hello to us!"
"They were originally a kind of gold-eating ants. I made a deal with them, and then they became what they are now. Some were helping me with work, and some became soldiers. In my opinion, as long as there is a profit between them, who wouldn't they make money with?" Gao Li said with a smile.
