Ultra-Dimensional Technology Era

"Look clearly, this place."

"Look clearly." Yin Yamanaka looked carefully at the background, only to realize that these "Zaku" were on the safe haven of Cuarteron Reef, and the background of one of the photos was still next to the Sapphire Princess.

Yin Yamanaka asked in disbelief: "You're joking, when did you PS?"

"I don't believe you can go to the passage on the south side later. These mecha fighters are patrolling there, and the captain and the others have also seen it."

The unbelieving Yamanaka Gin and the other two crew members ran out.

Half an hour later, they returned to the refuge room stunned. Obviously, what they saw and heard just now had a great psychological impact on them.

Chapter 167 After the Storm

The storm outside did not affect the interior of the shelter. In the simple room, the sense of security that the land gave to humans was something that the ocean could not bring.

山中银一边撒开一袋应急食品，里面的东西非常简单，2块压缩饼干、1包维生素饮料冲剂、1份自热咖喱土豆泥、1包豆瓣酱、1条能量棒、2颗话梅糖。

Pale yellow vitamin shots, and then waited for the curry mashed potatoes to heat up, while he waited while nibbling on compressed biscuits.

"Captain Mishima, is this the military base of Huaguo?"

Mishima thought for a while and replied, "Maybe!"

"Silver, believe it now!" Muto Taizai said while eating mashed potatoes.

Yin Yamanaka was both excited and sad: "It's so cool, but it's a pity that the Self-Defense Force can't equip it..."

Mishima, who was burying his head in his meal, trembled slightly, and then returned to normal. In fact, his heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

He once served on the destroyer of the Japan Self-Defense Force. After retiring in 2003, he joined the Gangu Co., Ltd. where the Sapphire Princess is located.

Around 2000, Huaguo in that era was still lagging behind the world, but it is completely different now.

In just a few decades, it has become a world-class power. The former Japan also experienced a period of rapid development.

It is a pity that with the signing of the Plaza Agreement, Japan lost 20 years, the semiconductor industry was snatched away by Korea and the United States, and the electrical appliance industry was also squeezed by the rising star Huaguo.

In the past few years, the situation has become even more grim. Huaguo's comprehensive strengthening of semiconductors has overwhelmed the only remaining semiconductor equipment and raw materials in Dongying.

Moreover, the overall rise of Huaguo Semiconductor has brought another effect, that is, Huaguo's electrical appliance industry is also being updated. It is even more difficult for Dongying Electric Appliances, which can still eat some high-end product markets.

Another pillar industry, the automobile, also faces strong competition from Huaguo's electric vehicles.

从2014年的国内生产总值（GDP）的比较来看，No.1依旧是世界霸主米国的16.3万亿美刀，No.2就是华国12.3万亿美刀，No.3是东瀛的5.8万亿美刀。

It seems that the United States is still going strong. In fact, the economic growth of the United States last year was 0.2%, while the direct negative growth of Japan was 2.4%.

Huaguo benefited from the rise of the four pillar industries of semiconductors, virtual worlds, terahertz communications, and high-energy batteries—electric vehicles, and its economic growth rate reached 19.7% last year.

Coupled with the rapid growth in 12 and 13, the economic scale has increased by 43% in three years, and it is estimated that it can still maintain a growth rate of more than 10% this year.

This is the result of the United States' desperate suppression. If there is no suppression, it is estimated that it will become the real world's largest economy around 2018.

Captain Mishima sighed bitterly in his heart, the world is changing too fast, and Japan is a country living in the cracks, it is really too difficult.

Today, his world view has been greatly impacted, and the impression that the United States is invincible has been shaken once again.

After hastily eating curry potatoes, Mishima lay on the bed, but couldn't calm down the throbbing in his heart for a long time.

Depressed, he put on his shirt and walked towards the corridor alone without waking up the others.

In the dark corridor, it was already dead of night. Walking in the long passage, the crackling rain hit the glass windows.

Through the glass window, the exoskeleton armored warrior with the flashing red indicator light is still patrolling unswervingly.

He took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket. It was a box of captains produced by Japan, and there were only two remaining cigarettes in it.

The flame of the lighter lit one of the cigarettes and took a deep puff. The strong tobacco smell was mixed with a trace of tea bitterness.

call!As the cigarette was exhaled from his lungs, there was a slight aftertaste similar to tea, so he quietly smoked the cigarette while looking at the exoskeleton armored patrol outside the window.

As the last bit of tobacco burnt out, a sense of endless loneliness welled up in his heart, and Mishima felt like a ghost, as if he was lost.

Suddenly he walked towards the sales warehouse in the afternoon in a mysterious way, Mishima aimlessly along the way, until he saw the two temporary telephone booths.

"Excuse me, can the phone booth be connected to the Internet?"

The salesperson, who was busy counting supplies, pointed to the large screen beside him without raising his head: "There is an operation guide in English on it."

"Hi! Aliado!" Mishima bowed slightly, then turned his head to watch the big screen carefully.

He read it very carefully, even more carefully than when he was taking the university entrance examination. Mishima didn't seem to want to give up any words, and he read the Chinese version.

Hey, you can go to the virtual network

Opening the temporary phone booth, there was indeed an iron bed inside, and a glass cabinet beside it, which was somewhat similar to a vending machine.

After inserting $50 from the coin slot, a box automatically popped out of the cabinet, with a pair of brain wave glasses inside.

Mishima took the brainwave glasses, went to the bed and lay down, put on the brainwave glasses, and then his eyes went dark, and he entered a whole new world in the chaos.

However, since he entered Nanke Mengjie as a tourist, he can only move in designated areas, and many functions are also restricted.

After lingering for more than three hours, he came to a virtual library before he knew it.

[Library of Truth]

Gently pushing open the door, the library is empty, as if in a stand-alone world, rows of books are displayed on the bookshelves.

Suddenly Mishima stopped in front of a bookshelf.

These books are very few banned books in Japan, and he even saw a Japanese edition of Selected Works of Mao, pulled the books out of the bookshelf, and summoned a set of tables and chairs.

Flipping through the pages, unconsciously, most of the night had passed, and Mishima stayed up all night, just reading quietly like this.

It wasn't until the brain wave glasses automatically reminded him that there were only 10 minutes of online time left that Mishima woke up from his contemplation.

After waking up, he took a deep look at the red star on the cover, as if he wanted to engrave it deep in his heart.

Click to go offline.

He opened his eyes and returned to the real world again, but he felt as if he was born again, and all the doubts in the past suddenly became clear.

"Maybe this is my mission." Mishima whispered to himself.

He stood up and moved his body, returned the brain wave glasses, and after paying $50, he returned to the shelter.

When Muto and Yamanaka Gin asked where they went last night, Mishima said lightly that he went to experience the virtual world once, and then fooled the matter away.
