CHAPTER 1272: CHAPTER 713: BATTLE POWER OF 170,000?! (2)

Li Chunhong said unhurriedly, "Our Yunhai City is willing to heed Lord Lu Yuan’s advice and head north. We do have some information about the Northern Territory, which we’ll distribute to you at that time."

"If you are unwilling... that’s fine, anyway in the sky, it’s easy to split by city unit..."

The meeting room fell silent once again.

Li Chunhong’s meaning was simple, Yunhai City had firmly embraced this golden opportunity! After all, Lu Yuan has a good relationship with us, his family’s household registration is still here, so he wouldn’t deliberately screw us over.

What you decide, is up to you!

However, the other cities had some concerns to varying degrees, as the power gap between both parties was vast, equivalent to entrusting one’s life and wealth to someone else’s morality.

"Mr. Li, please don’t say such disheartening things." The leader of Xini City said, "We just have some concerns, it’s human nature."

"Now, the strength exhibited by Green Grass City looks like that of aliens... If suddenly aliens visit Earth and say they want to take us to another planet, most people would hesitate a bit."

As soon as these words were spoken, the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated quite a bit.

"Moreover, even if we really want to go to the Northern Territory, we must proceed slowly, otherwise, the public indeed won’t accept it."

"On a societal level, it’s not that fragile." Another economist said, "When we first built the Sky City, confidence reached its peak. We possess a [Frost Mist Demon], and have a complete industrial chain, integrated internal differences, and public sentiment was highly excited."

This newly emerging, world-invincible belief is, to an extent, a good thing, self-reliant, well-provided for, with a high degree of initiative.

But it also has a characteristic, high exclusion sentiment—Humans are invincible in this world, and you’re all a bunch of useless slobs, isn’t it naturally highly exclusive?

This expert continued, "But now, we’ve experienced quite a few setbacks, understand our actual strength, lost the last gambling match, and now have the Haji civilization as an ally... To some extent, it’s a good thing, making us aware of our capabilities."

"Now there’s a stronger compatriot pointing the way forward... If we can guide the public opinion, I believe the masses can accept it."

After a moment of silence, another expert said, "Friends from Yunhai City, don’t rush this matter too much. Our current understanding of Green Grass City is still insufficient, and in the short term, we are still excavating ruins, unable to head north. So during this time, expand exchanges, dispatch more personnel."

"Including journalists, scholars, craftsmen, and even student representatives. I wonder if Yunhai City is willing?"

"Uh..." Li Chunhong hesitated for a while before finally speaking the truth, "They have already invited us, even invited us to participate in the craftsmen competition."

Everyone couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Well, you old fellow, no wonder you defected so quickly? Turns out you’ve already got a promise from the other side, wanting to go solo?

...

The next morning, just after Lu Yuan finished breakfast, he received a notification from the Human Alliance.

"Dear friends, our Human Alliance sincerely invites you to visit our military city, a shuttle will pick and drop you later."

"In that case... it’s better to accept graciously!"

This battle fortress, whether in terms of weapon performance or power system, is still quite excellent.

The "Human Alliance" has inherited its traditional materialism and further developed it.

The controlled nuclear fusion technology was independently invented 40 years ago—facts have proven that the ’eternal fifty years’ of controlled nuclear fusion doesn’t exist, it’s just that not enough manpower and resources were invested.

The fusion device made with purely material technology is quite remarkable.

"Over these years, we’ve made some small progress." Li Chunhong said with a sigh, "With a population of a hundred million, we barely support a Third-level Civilization industry, able to manufacture planes, cannons, and hydrogen bombs. Nearly 70% are industrial workers, but it’s still completely inadequate."

"Fortunately, everyone’s lifespan has increased, far from retirement... The life of toil may last hundreds or thousands of years, working non-stop without retirement is also a major societal issue."

Lu Yuan knocked on the wall a few times, the outer layer is the common black iron element, the interior is reinforced concrete, probably with some engraving patterns. Third-level civilization is quite presentable.

He smiled and said, "So it’s still important to advocate for the eight-hour work system and the talent withdrawal system."

"People can work overtime when needed, but on regular working days, eight hours is enough."

"But how to formulate the talent withdrawal mechanism? That’s difficult!"

Li Chunhong shook his head, who among the leaders would want to retire? Especially when lifespan spans thousands of years.

Lu Yuan said, "In my Green Grass City, retiring after 20 godhood points is about right, then going to be a craftsman. The more craftsmen, the better, always scarce, and they have quite a high status."

"Otherwise, we can only make a bigger cake, as long as there is always a cake to share, class will still have mobility. The development of civilization is like rowing upstream, not advancing means retreating."

Actually, this battle fortress can only be described as "okay", not enough to amaze humanity.

Next, the main force finally entered the main human city, Yunhai City!

Everyone was aboard a small floating spaceship.

Yunhai City is completely different from before, the past high-rise buildings are long gone, replaced by a pyramid-shaped Sky City, with a total of three layers: upper, middle, and lower, its specific structure is somewhat similar to Green Grass City.
