Traveler Major League

Chapter 257 Transforming Cocoon into Butterfly

Yu Chengdong followed the footsteps of the soldiers and walked forward along the stone alley. After passing through the small door, it suddenly became clear that this was the residence of the Prince of Qin in Xi'an. It was completely different from what it looked like in the Ming Dynasty. It was more like an open-air warehouse now. He felt that he kept walking towards the middle square, and the number of people on both sides continued to increase. Modern forklifts kept picking up goods from the high shelves and placing them on the trucks. The roar of machinery and the sound of people Yu Chengdong felt as if he had returned to a modern cargo terminal in the third world.

Constantly moving towards the center of the circle, the numbers on the two rows of signs also confirmed his guess, 100m, 90m, 80m. . . When you reach 10m, a small circular tower comes into view.

"Please wait here for a moment."

A thin officer who entered the door nodded to Cheng Dong with a tablet computer, pointed to the left side of a row of young people who were busy counting supplies, and motioned for him to go in and wait.

The soldiers escorting Yu Chengdong stood on both sides of the door like door gods. They had no right to choose. Yu Chengdong had no choice but to open the door and come in. He looked at the room. There was only a single bed and some simple things. supplies, and a small wooden table that was only varnished. It was very quaint and looked like a lounge or a duty room, rather than a place to hold prisoners.

This room was obviously frequently occupied. Except for a new quilt on the bed, everything else was spotlessly clean and gave off a smell of sunshine.

The little wait that the officer said before was not reliable. The watch showed that four hours had passed quickly. With a bang, the door of the small room was pushed open, and the thin officer from before walked in and faced the person who was already there. Lying on the bed, Yu Chengdong, who had obviously taken a nap and regained his energy, nodded. "Inspector Yu, you've been waiting for a long time. We'll leave immediately."

The wait didn't take too long again. After a change of light and shadow, the roar of forklifts and the noise of soldiers came from the already quiet outside.

Yu Chengdong's journey to the Second Spring and Autumn World did not stop. Following the footsteps of the soldiers, he once again passed through the mirror-like time and space passage to the small universe world. The small universe was also transformed into a warehouse. The only thing that remained unchanged was It was the hut at the center of the same circle. Liu Ze and Liu Zeyi greeted Yu Chengdong at the door of the hut.

Except for the four soldiers escorting Cheng Dong, everything was like entertaining friends. The modern furnishings in the house and the faint fragrance rising from the tea table had a very classical artistic conception.

Yu Chengdong, Liu Ze, and Liu Zeyi sat opposite each other. Two large screens were hung on the wall not far from the tea table. One screen showed constantly beating summary data, and the other screen showed a map of China, which showed the real-time power of the People's Army. scope.

This room is Liu Zeyi's private domain, a thinking space away from the hustle and bustle of the world.

Liu Ze and Liu Zeyi, as the leaders of the two cross-time and space organizations, the 'People's Alliance' and the 'Traveler Alliance', had previously received an official letter from Yu Chengdong, and this time it was a private meeting before formal negotiations.

Yu Chengdong, the early domestic special envoy, his arrival was actually within the expectations of Liu Ze and Liu Zeyi, and it was even a little late.

Yu Chengdong, the third-world official who is most familiar with the Popular Alliance, has firm and sharp eyes, revealing a power that cannot be ignored.

He knows that the task of his trip is arduous, but he also knows the difficulty of achieving comprehensive cooperation. However, as long as there is the first step of cooperation, only humanity as a whole can move towards a broader future.

The air between the three of them seemed to have solidified, leaving only the sound of each other's breathing and the sound of tea being poured.

Yu Chengdong was the first to break the silence. His voice was low and powerful: "On behalf of the domestic government of the third world, I hope to fully cooperate with the Popular Alliance to jointly develop resources across time and space, including but not limited to the three worlds. The above is It’s diplomatic, but we are all acquaintances, so don’t say those kind words. Brother, what kind of cooperation are you planning?"

After saying that, Yu Chengdong picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and swallowed it while enjoying the sweetness.

Liu Zeyi raised his head slightly, his gaze was deep and distant, as if he could penetrate the mists of time.

He smiled softly and said, "Brother, do you know what we are pursuing? It is the truth of the universe and the future of mankind. Politics and power are just a passing cloud to us."

Yu Chengdong was not swayed by Liu Zeyi's words. He took a deep breath and said, "I understand, I understand. With your status, you still drink this kind of cheap tea that costs 100 yuan for two packs of g." , I can understand your pursuit. There are two worlds. Based on this, you will definitely become the most powerful people in the world in the future."

Yu Chengdong said, pointing his finger at the ceiling.

"I feel that these two vast worlds should not be shelved, but should be used to benefit mankind. This kind of scientific and technological research across time and space is of immeasurable value to our country and even the entire world. We have the ability and the responsibility , use these resources for the right path, especially this kind of technology that spans time and space.”

A trace of complicated emotions flashed across Liu Zeyi's eyes. He was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "Brother, you know, we have not concealed anything about the information about another universe and the three worlds now. Without this miraculous technology, every time we travel across time and space, we will see the insignificance and ignorance of human beings." "I know, so this must be studied by those scientists, otherwise we can rely on the scientific research power of our Popular Alliance , we won’t know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse until the research comes out.” Yu Chengdong knew the concerns of Liu Ze and Liu Zeyi. Although he didn’t say it explicitly, as a veteran criminal police officer for many years, due to the special nature of the industry, he often came into contact with various types of criminal suspects. , has a thorough research on criminal psychology, and can easily see the details of the other person based on the details of the other person's expression and eyes. This is also a professional skill where practice makes perfect. He could see the eyes of these two young people from the first time they met. There is another layer of meaning buried in it, which is vague and cannot be explained clearly.

He was silent for a moment, and then said firmly: "Brother, I believe in human nature. We are flawed, but we also have hope, otherwise why would that thing only look for you? There are so many clones, there is something to be done Tell me, before you first appeared in our world, we found a dead corpse, a corpse that looked exactly like yours. It had no external or internal injuries. The cause of death was internal organ failure. It was most likely another clone of yours. .”

Liu Zeyi fell into silence again. His eyes were a little blurred, as if he had penetrated the barrier of time and saw various scenes that might appear in the future.

Neither Liu Ze nor Liu Zeyi were intoxicated by their crushing victory over the Ming world and the Spring and Autumn world. It can be said that their hearts were not contaminated by politics and power at all. What they cared about most was just the wisdom of that alien universe.

"Listen to my brother's advice, how many years have humans been around? Not to mention the universe, just in the biological history of the earth, that's nothing. Mass extinctions have happened several times, what's the big deal? Don't worry about that, as long as we Try your best to do the right things and pursue real progress, and I believe we will not remain ignorant."

The two people's eyes met again, and there seemed to be sparks flickering in the air. Cooperation with the third world, which is more technologically advanced, is inevitable, but how to cooperate, who has the dominant position, and where the collision of political thoughts should be directed are all uncertain. is a problem.

This is a contest concerning the fate of mankind, and no one can give in easily.

Seeing that Liu Zeyi did not respond, Yu Chengdong continued: "Brother, I understand your concerns. But please believe that our country still has credibility. The above attaches more importance to this than anything else. There will definitely be strict supervision mechanisms and ethics. Guidelines. We will not abuse hypertime, let alone use it for personal gain. On the contrary, we will apply it to people's livelihood fields such as science and technology, culture, education, etc. to contribute to the progress of mankind. This is definitely what you want. .”

Liu Ze shook his head gently and said: "Brother, it is not as simple as you think. The global political landscape of the third world will be changed because of our open cooperation. The new world is not a simple tool. Or resources, it is a link that connects countless worlds. Once this link is untied, the consequences will be unimaginable. A nuclear war may be started the next day, and the sunset of mankind may be waiting for the result of open cooperation. "

"Why is it so serious? How many countries on earth don't know about these things? It's all an open secret."

"It may be more serious. Who makes China not the master of the world? The one sitting on the throne now is the United States." Liu Zeyi finally got to the meaty point, "So, what I hope is that your government will We must cooperate in a positive and friendly manner, be sufficiently tolerant of our future policies, and maintain a neutral position on our diplomatic and military actions against certain countries and regions in the third world. In other words, you can regard us as Ordinary countries in the third world, after all, we all belong to the descendants of Yan and Huang, sons and daughters of China."

Yu Chengdong took a deep breath. He knew that this contest would not end easily. If a normal country responded, what if a war broke out? The People's Alliance usually promotes various extreme humanist ideas, but when it comes to the third world, it is obvious that there will be a war.

He decided to use another strategy to try to impress Liu Zeyi, "I wonder how your contact with the U.S. government was? After going abroad, I heard that Mr. Liu Zeyi has been on the U.S. side. Are you used to the customs?"

"There are some people in the U.S. government who are very fond of our People's Alliance, and there are also some who are deeply hostile to us. There are even some people in the U.S. who regard us as countries like Iran and North Korea, and are clamoring to carry out the Military strike, haha, these idiots."

Yu Chengdong spat, his eyes darting around: "That's stupid enough. On behalf of the country, I welcome you to come back to the country."

"Actually, our Popular Alliance is not like the Soviet Union, and we are not obsessed with the concept of hostility to capitalism. What we pursue is the concept of production relations that is in the interest of all people."

"Aren't you hostile to free trade and market economy?" Yu Cheng Dongzheng's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. On the Ming side, the so-called exploiters of others in the areas occupied by the People's Alliance did not end well. Even the original scholars were dragged into transformation.

Liu Ze and Liu Zeyi looked at each other and smiled, "We also engage in free trade and market economy. The current policies of the Popular Alliance are only necessary measures for economic, cultural, and social structural reform. It does not mean that we are rigid dogmatists. . Hundreds of years ago, at the beginning of capitalism, businessmen were not a rogue party that must be suppressed in the eyes of the feudal nobles, but an advanced productive force that allowed them to make money more efficiently and produce more goods. Starting a business and running a workshop is much more profitable than farming and collecting rent. The nobles who own businesses and workshops are also much more civilized and superior than the traditional rent-collecting nobles. In this process, the feudal nobles even themselves They will also participate in business activities, and at worst they will use some white gloves bearing their brand. By the time the power of capitalism reaches the point of revolution, the transition between aristocrats and merchant capitalists has become quite smooth."

"So by the same token, we are confident that we can achieve a new world beyond these two ideological social structures that are prevalent in the world now."

Yu Chengdong followed up with: "Building XXism with XX characteristics?"

"Yes, we can turn a cocoon into a butterfly on the basis of the Third World. After all, our internal and external environmental conditions are much better than those at home." Liu Ze nodded and concluded.
