The world enters the age of mythology.

The emergence of this fact made everyone look forward to, nervous and excited!

Everyone is discussing each other's development with great interest, what will happen when the two parties meet, whether they should prepare some special etiquette and so on.

Lu Yiming sat on the stool, listening to everyone's discussion, he suddenly laughed: "The other party should be very surprised to see our Kunlun Mountain. We have more than one Yunhai refuge, but we have two big ships. !"

"It can be seen from the outside, the huge changes on our side."

Kunlun Mountain is twice as big as Yunhai!

This kind of progress makes everyone feel proud.

Shi Dayong also laughed loudly: "No, no, you are wrong. The other party will be even more surprised when they see our more than 1000 B-level superpowers! We have made great progress in the past five years. It’s unbelievably big. If I were to travel back to 5 years ago and tell the past me about the achievements of these years, I probably wouldn’t believe it myself!”

"Yeah, we are a refuge on the Sea of ​​Clouds, and our combat power at the supernatural level can crush the previous earth civilization!"

Of course, it is only supernatural combat power. Compared with modern firepower, it is definitely not as good as earth civilization.

"I don't know how they... the development of Hope."

"It should be much stronger than when we first set off. We can't underestimate each other. They must have a relatively good chance."

"Yeah, it's just luck, it's impossible to live until now... Maybe we can learn from each other?"

After 3 days of waiting, everyone seemed so impatient, and the electromagnetic wave communication was coming and going, and it was a joy.

While people were happy, they did not forget to be cautious. The mutual communication of electromagnetic waves did not reveal too much information, but only introduced the population and living conditions of both sides.

Hope... 13.3 people!

A lot of people!This part of the population has also been carefully selected, and most of them are practical talents.

Therefore, their living conditions are not bad, there is no food crisis, and everyone can eat and drink enough.

The Sea of ​​Clouds has a population of 17.

Together, the total population exceeds 30!

Since the correctness of this news was gradually confirmed during the communication during this period, with the consent of the government department, the news media began to spread the news through channels such as TV and the Internet.

Sure enough, the people immediately became a sea of ​​joy after hearing the news.

"Ladies and gentlemen! There is a very big news that needs to be announced: We met our compatriots in the vast Yanghe River!"

"Hope Shelter, there are 13.3 compatriots there!"

There were overwhelming discussions in the cabin.

This is a very simple feeling, it has nothing to do with interests, it is just a feeling of mutual identity recognition!

Everyone has escaped from the disaster on earth, most of them are the first generation, and the feelings for the motherland have not completely disappeared.

After experiencing so many hardships, it is naturally the happiest thing to see fellow villagers who are from the same earth.

And the recent development, almost 5 years, makes the people of Yunhai very proud!

As long as it is a hard worker, whether it is a scientist, an engineer who is still building Kunlun Mountain, or even an aunt who grows vegetables in the vegetable garden, it is full of pride when talking about the development in the recent period.

In the past few years, everyone has not fallen behind!

It is because of the hard work of all the people that the Yunhai has become what it is today, and even the aunt who grows vegetables is proud of it in her heart!

"Hope Shelter, is it your partner?" Heisha asked blankly. As a severe Internet addict, she knew the news right away... After all, this guy added 43697 buckles crazily No matter the group, whether it is a novel group or a game group, as long as it is a group that can be joined publicly, there is her active figure.

She is resident in the supercomputing center, and is now mainly responsible for the manufacture of rune bullets, rune knives, and anti-gravity aircraft parts.These industries consume a lot of calculations, and if Heishasha replaces humans to complete them, the yield will be higher.

When Lu Yiming finds time, he will also go to see how she is doing, chat with her, and occasionally play games together.

Of course, she has been very happy recently. For Rubik's Cube, there are countless clones. As long as she can surf the Internet and play games with tens of thousands of people at the same time, she will be very happy.

"Yeah, the former partners, now... it should be, if they don't change particularly." Lu Yiming nodded.

"Degenerate? What do you mean?"

Lu Yiming smiled: "People will change, just like us, haven't we changed a lot. But we think that this change is positive. In our society, every citizen still has human rights, and we still have a lot to do. Great room for improvement."

"...I hope the other party can do the same."

"It's great to have a partner." Hei Shasha looked a little confused.

Does Xia Wenming have any partners left? She can't remember.

"Don't worry, you must have companions! This Consciousness Rubik's Cube was given to me by your companions. It shouldn't die so easily." Lu Yiming said with a smile, "Besides, Yanghe also appeared normally. ?"

"Hey, hey." Hei Shasha smirked, the laughter was exactly the same as that of Hong Mama.

There is really no need to think too much about this kind of thing...

……

Different from the reaction of the people, the top management of the Yunhai government quickly calmed down after being pleasantly surprised at the beginning, because people thought of something else: What is the political structure of the other party?Is it an authoritarian structure, or a relative democracy?

Or is there any corruption or something...

It is normal for a society to have corruption, and if the water is clear, there will be no fish. As long as the nature of human beings remains unchanged, a little nepotism is normal.But if it is too corrupt and affects the development of society, and even regresses to the feudal era, will it affect the Yunhai?

The social system is very important, because it involves the most critical issue, can the two sides integrate smoothly?

On the Yunhai side, the public has the right to supervise by public opinion. Although the government does not change its term and does not engage in popular votes, officials will still be criticized and reported if they do not do well, or even step down. Once someone crosses the line and is stabbed out, They will inevitably be dealt with, and those who should be sent to prison will be sent to prison.

Is that the case over there on the Hope?If the Nozomi Hope was an autocratic oligarchic system, or simply regressed back to the feudal system, and some leaders became emperors, the two sides would naturally not be able to integrate smoothly.

It is impossible for the people to accept such a huge change, and there must be riots.

And, there is another point, dominance is very important.When the two refuges meet, will they merge into one government, or, as before, continue to have two governments?Naturally, there is a big difference. The government is equivalent to the brain of the refuge. One body cannot have two brains, right?

However, when the Yunhai met the Nanfeng, a refuge from the Lanmeng, the strength of the two sides was 10 times weaker, and the Nanfeng was still unwilling to give up its dominance...

Power is poison to leaders!Is anyone willing to give up their rights directly?

Now, the Sea of ​​Clouds has encountered a more powerful Sanctuary named Hope, which has a population of 13. Even though the other party is from the same country, but... who will be the boss?

This is a big question!

Ding Yuan is a good leader, he does things fairly and justly, and he doesn't engage in family corruption. He handles the miscellaneous affairs in the shelter with ease. After so many years, Lu Yiming trusts him and thinks he is very good.

If an inexplicable leader is airborne, in such a dangerous environment in Yanghe, he must be skeptical.

The Sea of ​​Clouds has such an idea, so what about the Hope?

"It is naturally impossible to let the other party join the Sea of ​​Clouds for no reason."

Such things as power must be controlled by talented people, otherwise it will be transformed into a highly poisonous one, which will be eaten back by one's own people.How the two sides trust each other is also a big question.

"So, comrades, the distribution of dominance is a big problem!" Ding Yuan cleared his throat, and said in the conference room: "It is impossible for us to conquer each other by force? This is impossible... Even if we There is a high probability that they are stronger than the opponent, but it is impossible to conquer by force."

"Well, we are indeed very strong now, stronger than ever. In this regard, we must fully realize that we are no longer what we used to be."

Everyone in the conference room laughed, and everyone seemed very confident.

Chapter 441 The Contest of Comprehensive Strength

Ding Yuan paused for a moment, and then said: "Anyway, no matter what, the matter of dominance still needs to be considered in advance. According to the current speed, we will formally contact in 66 hours."

"It is estimated that the other party is also having a headache with this problem...Since we have encountered it, cooperation is still necessary. Fighting in the nest is meaningless. How to cooperate better and faster, everyone has to think of a way and come up with a plan."

Everyone is very curious about the development of the "Hope" shelter, and has it developed its own unique technology?

The Sea of ​​Clouds has its own unique technology, two generations of x-enhanced potions, and a set of academic creations with the "ether theory" as the core, all of which are something to be proud of.

These theories are also very good trading content.

There are also various life-saving cards, such as rune bullets, rune knives, blood demon bullets, A-level protective clothing, and Nubi altars, etc., of course, needless to say.

A government official raised his hand and said: "I think the alliance system can be adopted like the Nanfeng in the past. In normal times, everyone communicates with each other, resulting in commercial, academic and military exchanges, and the flow of personnel will not be adjusted. Too restrictive."

"But when it comes to dangerous times, if you can help, you can help a little. If you can't, you can only rely on your own ability."

Ding Yuan shook his head: "The alliance is naturally the easiest way, and it can also guarantee their respective regimes. But ordinary people may not be satisfied. What's more, the alliance method cannot achieve the effect of 1+1 greater than 2."

"Hope has been developing for such a long time, and there is a high probability that it will have its own encounters. If it is just an alliance, it will definitely not trade its best things, right?"

"It's just that the alliance can achieve 1+1 equals 2, which is already very good. Flying separately in the face of disaster is a true portrayal of a loose alliance."

"The other party has an accident, will we go to help? Shi Dayong, Li Yao, are you willing to go to work for your allies? Of course not. The same is true on the contrary. When we encounter a crisis here, the other party will not Will work hard. That's the downside of the league system."

Shi Dayong nodded, if he was one of his own people, he would sell his life, if he was just an ally, forget it, no one would be so noble.

There are too many similar examples on the earth. At the beginning, the Six Kingdoms joined forces to fight against Qin. It sounded aggressive, but it was actually useless.The combined national strength of the six countries must be much stronger than that of Qin. However, there is no unified regime, and there is no way to unify their forces.

The European Union on Earth at the beginning seemed to have a strong economic scale. As a result, an epidemic caused the internal alliance to show signs of loosening.Countries compete for supplies and close their doors to each other. How can there be such a thing as an alliance?

An alliance can only share wealth, but not adversity.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to give charcoal in the snow!

Xia people still have a kind of unified mentality. When they encountered the Nanfeng shelter, it was originally a foreign refuge, so the alliance was fine, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Now that they have encountered a shelter of the same origin, if they form an alliance, everyone will definitely be dissatisfied.

Even Lu Yiming is not satisfied with the long-term existence of the alliance.

What the Sea of ​​Clouds pursues is a merger, that is, a complete merger!

Only one mind, that is, one government, one army, and unreserved scientific and technological exchanges, can the result of 1+1 be greater than 2!

Faced with this problem, everyone in the conference room expressed their opinions, and the discussion quickly became lively.

Lu Yiming thought for a while, and then expressed his opinion: "The alliance can exist for a short time, but not for a long time. It is not realistic to think of annexing the other party as soon as we contact each other. Everyone is still on psychological guard. Yanghe is so dangerous, the two sides separate After 5 years, whether it is long or short, it is naturally difficult to return to the way it was before.”

"It's not just us, the other party is also like this... We need to understand this point. Even if the other party reports some maliciousness when communicating, it is actually nothing. As long as the maliciousness does not exceed the danger, the problem is not big."

"That's true." Ding Yuan agreed.

Some aerial reconnaissance equipment has been released in advance to detect the movement of each other's shelters.

The military will not give up vigilance just because the other party claims to be the "Hope Sanctuary", and the investigation work that should be done is still to be done.

In the past few hours, the military has detected several batches of drones, all of which came to detect the Yunhai.

However, the opponent's drone did not get too close.

This is also the unspoken rule of the two sides. The drone cannot approach the shelter for 100 kilometers. This is a relatively safe value, and the two sides will not shoot down each other.

It's just a hundred kilometers away, and it's actually hard to detect anything.

Lu Yiming deliberated for a while, and then said: "The best thing to do is the next best thing. If the security is lifted, it is normal to establish an alliance at the beginning. We can use various political means in the next six months to increase the flow of personnel, Academic exchanges, military exchanges, etc., subtly promote this matter. People go to high places, water flows to low places.”

"As long as our side is better than theirs, talents will inevitably flow over."

"That's right, the integration of the two sides will take time." Ding Yuan nodded, "However, there are only six months until the night comes, we have to speed up the time."

Lu Yiming continued: "I think the most critical thing is the issue of comprehensive strength. If we are far stronger than them, it means that we have a higher probability of annexing them, and we may transfer a small amount of power in the middle, which is understandable."

"If they are stronger than us, then...joining each other is not necessarily a bad thing, what do you think?"

Colonel Shi Dayong also agreed: "Yes, if they are stronger than us, it's okay to listen to their orders... At least I am convinced. We have already... well, I am not conceited, we have indeed turned the world upside down. Can it be stronger than us."

"The most troublesome thing is that both sides are equal in strength, and no one will accept the other, so there will be countless things to argue about."

Soldiers advocate force, Shi Dayong's thinking is very straightforward, if you are stronger than me, then I will listen to you.

If you are weaker than me, then be honest and obedient.

After all, everyone is from the same country, and whoever is the most powerful will be the one to command. There is still a bit of heart in this.

Professor Huang of the supernatural laboratory also expressed his personal opinion: "Yes, if the other party has a better theory, which is more perfect than our ether theory, then what is there to wait for? Our scientific research team will go to them It’s too late to learn from there.”

"So, the most reliable suggestion is to compete at the level of comprehensive strength. As long as we are better than them, talents will be easily attracted, and then the merger of the two parties will be a natural thing."

This should be everyone's general advice.

In fact, according to everyone's expectations, the probability of No. Hope being stronger than No. Yunhai is too low.

The Sea of ​​Clouds has been in the past five years, racing against time, without stopping for a moment.

Next, a military expert introduced the general strength of the Hope Shelter: "Theoretically, the rated population of the Hope Shelter is 9, which is slightly smaller than our Yunhai. But now the other side claims to have a population of 13.3." , It should be that during the flood, many people were overloaded. This choice is the same as our original choice, which means that their ideology is quite similar to ours. "

"According to the detection of the reconnaissance plane, their refuge is complete, and there are some military forces, so there is no problem with self-sufficiency."

The Yunhai was also overloaded with a lot of people at the beginning, with a rated capacity of 10, but it ended up with 17, resulting in a resource-poor situation.

But the embarrassment at the beginning has turned into wealth today!

Yunhai has no shortage of resources now, and with Kunlun Mountain, there is no shortage of houses, what is lacking is talents!
