Liu Xinri took a few deep breaths, recalled the conversation with Hu just now, and then picked up the phone on his desk and dialed someone.

"Hey, the second generation No. 1 is still alive... Yes... but he is missing now, but he already has descendants... Haha, yes, the third generation must be captured. If the third generation's condition is different from

Our guesses are consistent, and the Fusion God Project will achieve a huge breakthrough."

Three days later, Zhou Ming and Wang Siyan arrived at the dock safely. It took four days to get here from Qingzhou City, and they had to pass through several wilderness areas without any jurisdiction. Wanderers were rampant in those wilderness areas.

Ordinary business travelers will face huge risks when traveling through the wilderness, but if it is a relevant member like Zhou Ming who has a mission, then there will be commissioners with similar mission routes between cities.

With such a large convoy of commissioners gathered, wanderers in the wilderness would not dare to attack at will, and would most likely run away if they saw it from a distance.

Under the escort of the motorcade, Zhou Ming and Wang Siyan successfully arrived at the dock. The vast blue sea lay in front of them. There were people coming and going, and there was an endless stream of merchants. There were always shirtless and muscular men with wheat complexions carrying goods unloaded from the freighter.

The goods are very lively.

There is an isolation network and checkpoints at the boundary of the dock. The checkpoints are heavily guarded by relevant departments. They are all fully armed soldiers. No rogue unit can break through this barrier.

This level of armed protection is only suitable for traffic arteries outside the city, such as this dock.

Although strange rampages have made large-scale gatherings of humans a luxury, exchanges between countries and continents must still exist. Ocean trade is still the most important part of world trade. Ensuring ocean trade is something every country must pay attention to.

strategic aspects.

Today they waited here from morning to noon. While waiting for the Lucky Ship to arrive, Zhou Ming kept walking around the dock. This was the first time he saw such an orderly market outside the city.

"With enough military protection, the wanderers in the wilderness have no chance of winning. It would be great if every town in the wilderness could enjoy such treatment." Zhou Ming said to himself.

Ping Xingyue, who had appeared next to Zhou Ming a long time ago, explained: "That's impossible. If you came from that world, you must think the current three-wall system is ridiculous. But after living for so long, you

It should be more or less a different feeling.”

Zhou Ming nodded.

Ping Xingyue was right. Zhou Ming had just traveled through time and when he heard about the human rights classification system and the three-wall system, he felt that the world had gone crazy.

But now, he understands a little bit.

"As long as weirdness exists, humans will never be like your world." Ping Xingyue said, "The development of society depends on productivity, and the speed of information exchange and the scale of production are two important factors that determine productivity.

"If you want the production efficiency to be fast enough, you must have large-scale factories, so that you can manufacture various supplies in large quantities. Then the speed of information exchange is also very critical. Transporting goods from one city to another will take a long time.

Smooth flow can greatly reduce waiting time, which can speed up the consumption of goods in the market, increase the speed from production to sales, and also improve the entire production cycle.

"But these two points touch upon the strange birth factors. The current network seems to be instant, but in fact, there are three areas between cities, the central city, the inner city, the outer city, and the edge area outside the wall.

The network has quite a bit of time difference.

"In other words, it may take fifteen minutes for an article you publish in an outer city to be seen by netizens in an inner city. The same is true for inner cities and central cities. The time difference between cities is even greater for information exchange.

.

"These communication barriers can be completely avoided technically, but the world has deliberately created such barriers because the speed of information dissemination can greatly reduce the risk of weird phenomena getting out of control.

"Before the whole world realized the necessity of this kind of communication barrier, many major catastrophic weirdness had occurred, especially the Night of the Hundred Demons in Sakura Country, which directly turned the entire Kyoto into ruins, forming a

inner world.

“Later on, barriers to information transmission can be seen in all aspects of society. Cities are independent of each other, and this is also the case with large areas of natural environment between the two cities.

"To a certain extent, wilderness exists by default. Dealing with disorderly wilderness requires a lot of resource consumption and manpower. If not dealt with, it can effectively slow down unnecessary interactions between the two cities.

"For example, the transportation of goods, if it is not smuggling, is in extremely large quantities. It consists of hundreds of fleets. After reporting to the government, it is escorted by dedicated personnel. The two places may only need to travel once a month."

Ping Xingyue's explanation made Zhou Ming fall into silence. The more he learned about the world, the more he realized that change was a complicated and difficult matter.

Ping Xingyue leaned on her cane and walked carelessly, still not stopping her science popularization.

"The existence of the high-walled city is also to concentrate resources to do useful things and use good steel on the blade. In the case of a sharp decline in social productivity, it is simply impossible to maintain the research progress of the normal era unless ordinary people's

Life resources are diverted to scientific research.”

Zhou Ming nodded slightly and asked: "Where are the resources originally used to improve people's livelihood used now?"

"In many places, for example, the relevant departments mass-produce curse tools. You only know that the relevant departments can produce a large number of curse tools, but you don't know how much it costs to support the devout people in the prayer center.

"To maintain faith and hope in God in this era, one is destined to live in an extremely safe environment and receive complete religious education. Those prayers spend most of the day meditating and praying, and holding various rituals.

To consolidate and strengthen the subconscious belief." Ping Xingyue said.

Zhou Ming sighed: "Such a large group of people who are not engaged in productive labor and pray to an ordinary sword all day long will use up a lot of resources."

“Not only that, medical expenditures are also extremely huge. Because large-scale industrial zones cannot be established, the output of medical products has greatly declined, but the demand for drugs in all aspects of society has increased hundreds of times.

"In addition, the training of medical students has also become a major expenditure... Think about it, how difficult is it to find a way out for human beings in this situation?

"Nowadays, governments of all countries have similar ideas on people's livelihood. The top management believes that ordinary people can barely survive without encountering accidents. All resources used to improve people's livelihood must be used for expenditures related to weirdness.

"In other words, they think that as long as the death rate of humans does not exceed a certain percentage, the remaining people will have no time to worry about whether they eat soil or tree bark as long as they can survive."

Ping Xingyue made a summary of what was just said.

Zhou Ming listened silently, thought seriously, and silently compared the differences between the two worlds in his heart.

He knows that he cannot look at today's world with the concepts of his original world. Although the system and people's livelihood of the original world were beautiful, they were built in a relatively safe environment.

It is unrealistic to transfer the system from the original world to the original world.
