I can find treasures in my dreams.

Chapter 437 Golden Cudgel

The world was in turmoil, and many changes had also taken place in Daxia.

In Shapdian.

With the signing of an agreement, the two cities of Guangrong City and Dongfang City, with the Caiyun Province of Daxia, officially began the "integration" process.

To put it simply, the economies of both sides have been fully integrated, and the various systems of the two cities have begun to move closer to the Caiyun Province.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just an insignificant matter because it has no impact on their lives.

On the Internet, all kinds of voices have emerged.

"The hungry Eastern dragon has finally begun its annexation of its neighboring country, Shapudian!"

"The old overlord has fallen, and the new overlord has just taken the throne, and he has already shown his huge ambition to expand his territory!"

"The Eastern Evil Dragon's current territory is 1263 million square kilometers, and Shapudian's territory is 87 square kilometers. I think it won't be long before their territory will become 1350 million square kilometers, because the Daxia people's desire for land and resources is endless. Maybe in a few years, the land they occupy will become 2350 million square kilometers, or even 3350 million square kilometers."

All of the above voices are trying their best to exaggerate the "Eastern Dragon Threat Theory", attempting to portray the Eastern Dragon as the culprit that destroys world peace.

But the Shapudians, as the parties involved, reacted unexpectedly calmly.

In the city of glory.

Seventeen-year-old girl Ma Miaodan, or Zhang Qianqian, was holding her new ID, turning it over and over with curiosity.

This is the new version of the national ID card she received.

The appearance and style are exactly the same as the national ID card of the Daxia people.

The difference is that one of them starts with "Shaputian" and the other one starts with "Daxia".

Her boyfriend Zhou Furui said with a smile: "In the future, when you go to Daxia to take the high-speed rail and stay in a hotel, you can just swipe this nationality ID card. You don't need to apply for a visa because the data of this nationality ID card has been entered into Daxia's system."

Ma Miaodan said, "Oh," and said, "It is indeed a lot more convenient now."

Now the two have officially established a relationship, and even their parents have met each other.

Zhou Furui's parents were very satisfied with this beautiful girl. She was not only pretty, but also gentle and virtuous. They did not ask for a dowry, a house or anything like that for their marriage.

The parents of both parties had even agreed to wait until Zhou Furui turned 18 to get engaged, and then hold the wedding when he turned 20.

At this moment.

Ma Miaodan's pretty face showed longing: "I want to visit the Forbidden City, climb the Great Wall, and climb the Five Mountains."

She also recited an ancient poem in Daxia dialect: "How is Mount Tai? The green of Qi and Lu is endless. Nature has endowed it with divine beauty, and yin and yang divide the day and night."

The corrosive power of the dominant culture on the weak culture is vividly demonstrated by this girl.

It is entirely foreseeable that in two or three years at most, she will completely transform psychologically into a Daxia person.

Zhou Furui smiled and said, "Two months ago, your wish to climb Mount Tai would have been impossible to achieve because the entire mountain was sealed off. Snow monsters often appeared in the wild. The government completely sealed off Mount Tai."

Ma Miaodan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about now?"

Zhou Furui said: "Mr. Ghost and Mr. Ling Ya founded the Blue Six Paths, among which the Qinglian Path and Haoran Path require careful appreciation of Daxia's poetry culture.

“It has been proven that visiting famous mountains and rivers is of great help in appreciating the artistic conception of poetry.

“In order to provide convenience for cultivation, the government has now opened up many scenic spots, and the Five Mountains is one of them.

"The safety of climbing Mount Tai is no longer a problem, because the authorities have deployed drone swarms and war spider guards to patrol Mount Tai day and night."

Ma Miaodan immediately responded: "It seems that the Five Mountains will soon be overcrowded because people from all over the world want to climb them."

Zhou Furui nodded and said, "With so many ancient poems written by ancient poets in Daxia, Daxia's tourism industry is going to be very popular. In the future, Daxia will definitely become the most popular tourist destination in the world.

“Before the natural disaster era, the annual output value of Daxia’s tourism industry was 8.4 trillion Xia yuan, while the annual output value of the global tourism industry exceeded 125 trillion, accounting for 6.7% of the world’s total.

"It is estimated that in ten years, the output value of Daxia's tourism industry will climb to 60 trillion Xia yuan, accounting for at least 40% of the world's total."

Ma Myattan said admiringly: "You know so much."

Zhou Furui smiled and didn't say that this was the information he learned from listening to his parents' conversation at dinner.

The two chatted for a while and the topic returned to the new version of the certificate.

Ma Myat Tan asked a question: "I heard that the new certificate comes with a lot of benefits, is that right?"

Zhou Furui knew this very well and immediately gave an example: "Recently, Daxia's welfare has increased a lot. As long as you give birth to a child, you can receive 2 Xia yuan. It was only 1 before.

"Anyone holding this certificate can also get this much money as long as their children become citizens of Daxia."

Ma Miaodan nodded without hesitation: "Of course our future children will join the Daxia nationality."

When Zhou Furui heard the words "our children", he was in a trance for a moment.

He is still in school and is not yet an adult both physically and mentally, so it is really hard for him to imagine being a father.

Ma Miaodan asked curiously, "By the way, how many children are born in Daxia every year?"

Zhou Furui thought for a moment and replied, "I remember that more than 4300 million babies were born last year, and this year it is expected to be 5600 million."

Ma Miaodan was shocked: "So many?!"

The number of births in these two years combined is more than the entire population of Shapudian. Daxia is really scary!
She calculated in her mind and asked in surprise, "5600 million newborns will cost 1.1 trillion yuan in welfare. Does Daxia have that much money?"

Zhou Furui did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you still remember the 300 billion tons of iron ore that fell from the sky in Shapudian?"

Ma Miaodan nodded vigorously: "Of course I remember."

This incident shocked the whole world at the time, but major events happened one after another on Canglan Star, and the large-scale blood sacrifice soon overshadowed the 300 billion tons of iron ore.

Zhou Furui took out his cell phone: "Let me show you a video."

Tap the screen once.

The video starts playing immediately.

Ma Myat Than immediately saw a large number of construction machinery mining iron ore.

Hundreds of large excavators were seen scooping up buckets of iron ore and pouring them into the cargo beds of large transport trucks.

There is a long queue of transport trucks waiting to be loaded behind.

The power of this mechanized operation shocked Ma Miaodan a little.

This was the first time she had seen such a scene, and she couldn't help but sigh, "Daxia is so developed."

Zhou Furui pointed to a large transport truck and explained, "A full truck of this size can carry 250 tons of iron ore. The mining company can work 300 hours a day and can mine 10 million tons of iron ore every day, which is more than billion tons a year."

Ma Miaodan couldn't imagine the weight of 10 billion tons, and just sighed: "It's amazing."

Zhou Furui asked in a mysterious tone: "Did you find anything special?"

Ma Miaodan was a little confused: "What's so special about it?"

Zhou Furui didn't keep the secret and gave the answer directly: "All the machines here have no one inside!"

Ma Miaodan was surprised and said, "No one controls it this way?"

She immediately reacted: "Is it remote control?"

Zhou Furui shook his head: "No, it's not remote control, but intelligent AI that controls the machines to mine and the transport vehicles to transport the iron ore. The human workers are just responsible for supervision."

Ma Miaodan was immediately shocked.

Zhou Furui pointed at the screen and said, "I heard from my father that this system only has 50 people. In other words, these 50 people can mine 300 million tons of iron ore every day.

“They don’t have to stay in dangerous areas, so there is no need to worry about safety affecting the progress of the project.

“They can stay in the comfortable office at the back, enjoy the warm heating, and work more efficiently.

“My dad also said that this intelligent AI mining system has just been deployed, so we have doubled the number of staff.

“After a while, when the system has been iterated several times and is thoroughly optimized and mature, only 25 people will be needed.”

Ma Miaodan was a little excited when he heard this: "Daxia's technology is too advanced!"

Zhou Furui said with pride: "Daxia has a lot of world-leading black technology and can easily feed 18 billion people.

"Don't even mention 1 trillion yuan. Even 2 trillion yuan or 5 trillion yuan is not a problem."

Ma Miaodan nodded repeatedly: "Indeed."

Like a questioning baby, she asked again: "If intelligent AI is fully popularized in the future, many jobs will be replaced by AI. What should we do if the unemployment rate is too high?"

Zhou Furui answered without hesitation: "Now is the era of superpowers, this is not a problem at all.

“Because Daxia is facing not only Canglan Star, but a vast and boundless primordial world, and countless civilized worlds.

"We need as many warriors as possible to deal with the threats, and as many technicians as possible to develop more powerful technology.

"If some people really can't find a job, then just pay them to have children.

“Because of the competition between civilized worlds, population size is a very critical indicator.

"If a civilization does not have a large enough population, it cannot have enough psychics.

“It is also more difficult to produce outstanding geniuses, that is, super strong people like Mr. Ghost and Mr. Crow.

"For example, the Iron Fist civilization has a population of 340 billion, and some powerful civilizations that have developed for many years even have a population of 3000 billion or 4000 billion.

"Compared to other civilized worlds, the population of Blue Planet is pitifully small, so the government attaches so much importance to population."

Ma Miaodan looked at her boyfriend's cheerful face and suddenly felt an urge to say, "Let's have a baby too."

She increasingly felt that the people of Daxia were far superior to their peers in Shapudian.

But Ma Miaodan finally suppressed her inner restlessness and did not say this somewhat ridiculous sentence.

at this time.

At the same time, they both heard a sharp whistling sound coming from the sky.

"Woo~"

Ma Miaodan was startled by the sudden sound and couldn't help but scream "Ah".

In fact, she was not timid, so she was not too scared.

But when she caught a glimpse of Zhou Furui's profile, she immediately put on a pale face and reached out to hug her boyfriend's arm tightly.

Zhou Furui quickly hugged her and patted her back gently: "Daxia is responsible for the safety of Glory City, there will definitely be no danger here."

After a while.

Only then did the two of them understand what the whistling sound just now was.

According to news leaked online, an extremely bizarre collapse occurred at a company in the northwest district of Glory City.

With a five-story building purchased by the company as the center, all the buildings and trees within a radius of thirty meters collapsed one after another.

The five-story building in particular had its top floor sunk into the ground, leaving a large dent in the center.

Ma Miaodan looked at the picture and was amazed: "It seems that everything is collapsing towards the center of the circle. This is so strange!"

Zhou Furui nodded: "Within the collapse range, cracks appeared on the ground like spider webs. Outside this range, the cracks suddenly decreased by more than half."

He paused and concluded: "This is definitely some kind of supernatural power."

Ma Miaodan expressed his own opinion: "That scream just now might be some kind of powerful new weapon."

Zhou Furui agreed: "It's possible!"

He took his phone and scrolled through the social media platform, then suddenly realized, "So that's it."

Ma Myat Tan asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zhou Furui said, "Someone has revealed that this company is ostensibly owned by the neighboring Antai Kingdom, but is actually controlled by a Jamenian." Ma Miaodan also understood, "So is Daxia attacking the Jamenians?"

Zhou Furui said "hmm".

Ma Miaodan didn't understand one thing: "This company is in Glory City, why don't they just arrest people?"

Zhou Furui thought of an explanation: "Maybe it's to establish his authority."

*
at the same time.

Things like this happen one after another in various places on Canglan Star.

The Kingdom of Blue Lions.

Due to the time difference, darkness enveloped the country.

"Woo~wu~"

A shrill scream suddenly tore through the sky.

Several shadows invisible to the naked eye struck a medical research institute like thunder.

A horrible scene occurred.

"Boom!"

The ground shook violently.

It was as if a pair of invisible giant hands knocked down the dozen or so buildings in the institute and pressed them hard into the ground.

In an instant.

The research institute was razed to the ground, and a large area of ​​the ground was sunken.

soon.

Several drones belonging to the Royal Police quickly flew over to check the situation.

A bald senior official saw the tragic situation of the institute through the drone camera and cursed: "Fuck you!"

He paused for a moment, and said solemnly, "Judging from the impact, this should be a high-tech weapon that controls gravity."

A tall official nearby was startled: "Controlling gravity? Isn't this something from science fiction movies?"

The bald official said in a tone of surprise: "In the Age of Superpowers, there are all kinds of strange things. Just because the Kingdom cannot develop gravity weapons does not mean that other countries do not have the ability to do so."

The tall official suddenly remembered something and gasped, "This is a big problem! I remember that a descendant of the Klofe family seems to be in the institute."

The bald official was not nervous at all: "Times have changed. Gameni is no longer the overlord of Canglan Star, and the Klofei family is no longer that scary family. They are being used as an example by the Daxia people, so their lives must be very difficult."

He is the most typical old white man with an incredibly stubborn mindset. Even he began to believe that Gameni was no longer the overlord, which shows how much Gameni's influence had declined.

The tall official immediately realized what his colleague meant: "Did the Daxia people use some secret weapon to destroy the research institute and kill the members of the Klofey family?"

The man paused and said angrily, "This is an infringement on our country!"

The bald official shrugged his shoulders and said, "Since you know this is a secret weapon, Daxia will definitely not leave any evidence, so there is no point in protesting."

The tall official was speechless.

The bald official said, "Daxia is no longer the Daxia of the past. Daxia people have the power to do whatever they want. I am sure that the higher-ups will just pretend that this incident never happened."

He added: "Besides, this is a fight between the Daxia people and the Gameni people. There is no benefit for the Blue Lion Kingdom to get involved."

The tall official was convinced: "Okay, you make a lot of sense."

As he watched the drone video, an idea suddenly occurred to him: "Could this be a weapon launched by Daxia's Lingxiao Palace?"

The bald official nodded and said, "It's very likely! The Daxia people said that the Lingxiao Palace system can achieve global strikes. This is most likely a deliberate public demonstration by the Daxia people."

The tall official was a little envious and sighed: "Daxia is too powerful."

The two looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

A few seconds passed.

The bald official broke the silence and said, "I plan to send Irene to study abroad in Daxia after a while."

The "Eileen" mentioned in this sentence is the official's daughter.

The tall official was stunned for a moment and wanted to criticize his colleague's behavior.

But in the end he swallowed his words and said something else: "A wise decision."

*
In the vast space.

At an altitude of 2500 kilometers.

A huge monster that was invisible to the naked eye suddenly trembled.

Three invisible metal rods immediately broke away from the object and fell straight towards the white planet below.

The former is none other than Lingxiao Tower.

The latter is the golden cudgel.

To be more precise - the golden cudgel is a gravity strike weapon.

Under normal circumstances, when a metal rod falls from a 2500-kilometer orbit, it is initially in a space environment where atmospheric resistance is negligible.

But it definitely does not fall straight down, but moves in an elliptical orbit.

As the altitude decreases, the atmosphere becomes denser, air resistance increases, and the trajectory becomes more complicated.

Taking into account data such as initial velocity and orbital parameters, the actual falling time can be as short as a few hours or as long as several days.

This is why the Gamenes set the orbit to a low orbit when they were developing space-based weapons.

Because it is too difficult to deliver a precise strike.

But the Lingxiao Tower is different.

In an underground base in the Mo Nan Province in the north of Daxia.

A soldier was staring at the screen intently, watching a nearly straight line extending towards the ground at an accelerated speed.

This is the trajectory of the gravity strike weapon.

The powerful control ability allows the three golden cudgels to follow a nearly perfect striking trajectory.

Fifteen minutes later.

A prompt popped up on the big screen: "Accurate hit!"

The soldier grinned and shouted: "Report! Accurate hit!"

Across eight thousand kilometers.

Shift the perspective to a shelter located fifty meters underground.

"Bang! Bang!"

Only a few extremely dull explosions were heard.

The three golden cudgels easily penetrated the thick rock layer and entered the shelter with powerful kinetic energy.

next moment.

A black technology device, called "gravity anchor engine", burst out with powerful power.

The kinetic energy contained in the golden cudgel was instantly transformed into a gravity anchor, madly pulling everything around it.

The core material used to build the gravity anchor engine is a secondary exotic material obtained from the Iron Fist civilization.

The Iron Fist people regarded it as a rare material of low value, but the Daxia people found its true use.

After a while.

The three golden cudgels created three gravity anchors, tearing at all the human bodies in the shelter from different directions.

Reynolds, a member of the Cloughe family who was hiding here, suddenly felt an unimaginable pain in his internal organs and brain.

"puff!"

He spat out a large mouthful of blood and fainted.

There were two naked beautiful women lying next to them, with large amounts of blood gushing from their mouths and noses, and their hearts had stopped beating.

Their hearts broke.

Half a second passed.

A milky liquid flowed from Reynolds' nostrils.

This is brain matter.

His brain had been destroyed by the gravity anchor.

By this time, everyone in the shelter was dead.

Among them are even three people with special abilities.

This is the most terrifying part about gravity anchors.

Although the psychics have strong physical fitness, their internal organs and brains are also fragile.

Unless one possesses special powers, or cultivates the power of Jing Gang to become a warrior and cultivates the power of Jing Gang to an extremely high level, it is difficult to resist the gravity anchor.

of course.

If they are on the surface and the space is wide open, the psychic can escape as long as they are fast enough.

But this is underground and it is impossible to escape in a short time.

Subsequently.

The pulling force of the gravity anchor has reached its peak

"Boom!"

The shelter collapsed.

Five seconds later.

The gravity anchor dissipated.

The golden cudgel and its engine were reduced to dust, and the foreign material inside it degenerated and lost its supernatural power.

*
after an hour.

The Kamenian Federation.

The Blue Palace.

Eduardo looked at the report in front of him, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

There was a sentence in the report: "According to statistics, 186 of the 132 members of the Cloughey family have lost contact."

The aide stood by and said only two words.

The first sentence: "The 132 members of the Klofei family who have lost contact are distributed in 35 countries around the world. We highly suspect that the Daxia people used the Lingxiao Palace system this time, because only space-based weapon systems can carry out terrible global strikes in a very short time. This should be the Eastern Evil Dragon showing off its muscles."

Eduardo nodded: "The Lingxiao Palace system is more terrifying than we imagined."

The second sentence: "The Klofei family is finished! Several other major families in the Federation seem to be discussing how to divide up the Klofei family's assets."

Eduardo sighed.
