The night was getting darker, but Zhang Hao had no intention of resting.
Standing on the top of the Dayang Group headquarters building, I quietly looked at the orange light in the sky, watching the light gradually slant westward.
Although several days had passed, Zhang Hao was still a little shocked in his heart when he saw this light.
Gather one thousandth of the sunlight to accelerate the spacecraft, accelerating a spacecraft with a possible diameter of 30 kilometers to 0.3 times the speed of light, and then conduct a curvature flight.
This kind of technology has only been seen in film and television works, and film and television works are film and television works after all, belonging to fantasy series, and they are ultimately different from the actual situation.
How can a film and television production of just one or two hours, with a screen only a few meters in size, compare to the magnificence of the moment. A month-long accelerated time, a reflection that illuminates the entire planet, a beam of light that stretches across the sky, beyond the end of the line of sight...
Everything was beyond imagination, yet it appeared so clearly in front of him.
Zhang Hao quietly looked at the bright starry sky at night, the even brighter spaceships in the distance, and the beams of light across the sky. What he was thinking about was the current development situation of Dayang Group, its future development direction, and the current international form.
Today's international situation is orderly amid chaos.
Needless to say, there is chaos. Since the rise of the Ocean Group, wars have continued one after another in this world.
With the development of science and technology, people's vision continues to expand. Especially in the world of earth images and the world of river maps, for the first time everyone clearly knows that the dharma level or the innate level is no longer a bottleneck and limit.
But as the great geographical discovery progressed, as technology and cultivation progressed, everyone's ambitions also raged and expanded like wildfire.
In particular, the rise of industry and commerce and the prevalence of capital ideas have brought the four major elements of "wealth" into practice to the extreme. All spiritual resources, opportunities, and even survival crises, etc., are linked to "wealth", which has led to further
crazy.
The Mercenary Guild, an unprecedented pan-world organization, was born, revitalizing practitioners from all levels of the world and connecting every corner of the world.
The mercenary guild connects countries, groups, families, masters, nobodies, nobles, civilians, etc., all.
And the most important thing is to change the centralization of power!
With fierce competition, the development of industry and commerce, and the advancement of industrial technology, everyone is increasingly discovering that the past mentality of a small country with few people is no longer enough!
For example, in the past Holy Lands, they all occupied a mountain gate, with a total area of about a thousand kilometers; and in the Xuanhuang World, the center of each 'city' was only one land building, three to five kilometers in size.
In the past, the way the Holy Land was governed was to focus on the essence and leave most of the management to affiliated countries, families, sects, etc. As for how well these countries and families were governed, the Holy Land basically didn't care.
The Holy Land only recruits elite disciples, collects resources, and then trains its own masters to form a strong influence, and this cycle continues.
However, with the explosion of industry and commerce, everyone discovered problems. The development of industry and commerce requires huge land, a large population, and an incalculable variety of talents, and a small holy land cannot satisfy it anyway.
In particular, scientific and technological research requires a large number of elite talents.
Also, with the popularization of compulsory education in Dayang Group, everyone suddenly realized that education can still be done in this way.
At first, everyone felt that Dayang Group was asking for trouble by doing this; after all, in the world of spiritual practice, if you want to engage in education, you have to consider that spiritual resources are scarce and expensive, and cultivation itself is not universal.
However, with the rapid rise of Dayang Group, everyone suddenly realized that with the talent in their hands, Dayang Group could plunder from the outside world. And this kind of plunder is not limited to war, but also includes technology and patents, industry and commerce.
Then, as several wars broke out, everyone finally woke up.
Now, almost all Holy Lands are gradually centralizing power, gradually flattening the countries, families, etc. within their sphere of influence, and beginning to gather power; and this centralization has further led to the explosive growth of mercenaries. Everyone really cannot bear the Holy Land.
, but why don’t we leave!
And this further leads to another problem. The Holy Land cannot really kill everyone. At most, it can only kill a few happy ones; but most people have to be let go. Those let go are absorbed by the hostile Holy Land.
In short, there is no way to explain the chaos. But amidst the chaos, a new order is also being explored and established.
Also, with the explosive development of the spiritual world, the world's consumption of a unique resource has increased dramatically. In just a dozen years, the demand has increased a hundred times. Yes, this is the spiritual stone!
Spiritual stones are needed for cultivation, spiritual stones are needed for forming formations, spiritual stones are needed for war, spiritual stones are needed for refining elixirs and refining weapons, and even cultivating top-grade medicinal materials requires spiritual stones. Planting ordinary spiritual materials, spiritual rice, etc. requires crushed spiritual stones. In addition, steelmaking requires spiritual stones.
Lingshi, industrial development also needs Lingshi!
Of course, Dayang Group is a bit special. It can already extract spiritual energy from the air through electric machinery, but the spiritual energy in the air is not endless.
The large consumption of spirit stones has caused many problems. Of course, these problems have not been exposed for the time being. The main reason is that the spirit stone veins are still relatively abundant, especially because of the great geographical discoveries and the emergence of Dharma masters, which have left a large number of barren mountains and islands.
The places where monsters and monsters live, shallow seas, etc. have become new resource areas.
Due to the new development in these places, the production of spiritual stones has slightly increased some time ago, and the quality has also improved somewhat.
But Zhang Hao knows better that those with the ability to develop new spiritual stone veins are large forces. Ordinary small families, merchants, nobles, etc. are already sitting in the city of sleep.
But here’s the bad thing. It’s clear that resources have begun to be tight, but everyone is still spending lavishly. There is no way, the elixirs, magic weapons, formations, etc. for practice all require money. In this era of great explosion of practice,
If you make slow progress, you are regressing.
Therefore, the less money you have, the more money you have to spend! Loans also cost money!
All of this is in the sight of Dayang Group, and even more so in Zhang Hao's eyes.
At this time, Zhang Hao was unable to change anything. This was the trend of the entire world, and no one could directly stop it, not even Zhang Hao. But Zhang Hao saw the crisis in it.
At present, the cultivation resources can be replenished, but many current wars are already related to the cultivation resources. Why is the Xuanhuang Group eager to declare war on the Hetu world? To put it bluntly, resources!
The Xuanhuang world used to be a world with developed spiritual practices. Various mineral veins, medicinal materials, etc. had been developed for hundreds of thousands of years, and the land was basically barren.
If Xuanhuang Group wants to develop, it needs resources. Dayang Group and Kuodixiang World have no hope, they can only bully Hetu World.
However, what Zhang Hao is more concerned about is that according to Bai Ye's news, the Xuanhuang Group's aircraft have shadows of the technology of the Ming Dynasty. This is something to be wary of.
Dayang Group is not afraid of trouble, but no one likes trouble.
Naturally, Zhang Hao couldn't let the Ming Dynasty join forces with the Xuanhuang Group. He was a little busy before and couldn't spare any time. Now, maybe it's time to think about it.
The commercial exchanges between the Xuanhuang Group and the Ming Dynasty mainly involved ships, followed by passenger aircraft and recently improved flying boats.
However, the main force of transportation is still ships, and they are steel ships.
"Perhaps, it's time to consider pirates! Let the mercenary guild use it one last time before breaking away from the control of Dayang Group!" Zhang Hao murmured to himself.
I have never considered pirates in the past, because this thing is a sharp sword with sharp edges on both sides. If one is not good, it can easily hurt others and yourself.
In particular, this world is extremely special, and in Zhang Hao's opinion, it is completely suitable for the breeding of pirates.
This is a world of spiritual practice and there are many masters. If the masters play pirates, coupled with the master's power and the magic of their spells, the pirates will appear elusive and elusive.
In addition, this world is extremely large, has a thick atmosphere, and has low visibility. This will also make sea search extremely difficult.
On the other hand, this world's oceans are huge, its land is relatively far away, and it relies heavily on ocean transportation, so it is naturally a hotbed for pirates.
Furthermore, there are so many islands in this world. If pirates and others come up with an invisible mountain-protecting formation, they will really be unable to find it even if they dig deep into the ground.
The reason why pirates did not appear during this period was mainly because most countries organized fleets for ocean voyages.
But if Dayang Group takes action and takes the initiative to cultivate pirates, it will be... lively.
However, this plan was too crazy after all. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Hao summoned the top management of Dayang Group to start a secret discussion.
…………
When Zhang Hao and other senior executives of Dayang Group began to discuss pirates, a fierce negotiation had already begun. This was the issue of the "construction of the Innate Cultivation Research Center" between Dayang Group and Hetu World.
The main representatives of Dayang Group are Zhang Jialin from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Nan Xiaoyun;
The main representatives of the Hetu world are Jiao Yuhe, the great national advisor of the Song Dynasty, and Yue Yunfeng, the minister of the Song Dynasty; there is also Fang Hanle, the representative of Dayang Group.
The negotiation location is a conference hall in the Blue Ocean Hotel in Ninghe City, Dayang Group. The hall is contracted by Hetu World.
There is a reason for doing this. Coming to Dayang Group to negotiate is a sign of Hetu World's weakness. However, Hetu World contracted the hotel and then 'invited' Dayang Group there, which seemed to be declaring its sovereignty. However, if you look deeper, you can see that
This is because Hetu World lacks confidence and is engaging in formalism:
What you are contracting is still the assets of Dayang Group.
The negotiations were in trouble at the beginning. Hetu World said that our innate cultivation method is very good; while Dayang Group said that our Dharma practice is very mature, and Dayang Group has strong technology and is the birthplace of Dharma practice.
, mastered the essence of Dharma.
In contrast, you yourselves can't even tell what this innate thing is.
"Who said that!" A representative from Hetu World couldn't sit still.
"Sit down!" Jiao Yuhe said angrily.
But how could Zhang Jialin, the negotiator of Dayang Group, give up this opportunity? He immediately looked at the other party with a smile: "Then, could you please briefly explain what this innate thing is?
If you cannot explain this clearly, this negotiation will not be possible!"
