Doctor, I'm really strong!

Liu Jiuli's "Proletarian Manifesto" drew thunderous applause from the conference audience, while countless exploiters felt a chill run down their spines through the screen.

This conference is open to the whole world, and it is meant to tell those exploiters that they should either learn to be human beings from now on, or wait for the awakened proletariat to turn them into lamppost ornaments.

At the same time, the crew members who were putting the finishing touches on the Aurora were watching the grand event in the ship's lounge. Everyone was incredibly excited because their country was so glorious and honorable. They were about to embark on a great mission, and they were creating such a miracle.

Not only the community, but the whole world was in a state of high enthusiasm at this time. The contents of the meeting quickly became the guide for the struggle of proletarian revolutionaries in various countries, and more and more people embarked on the path of armed revolution.

At this very moment, on the Aurora, a small point of light began to coalesce, and soon took on a humanoid outline.

"Workers...unite...revolution..."

Some intermittent sounds came from the human figure, eventually merging into two words that did not belong to this era.

"Soviet Union."

The conference in Steelgrad lasted for a full two weeks, finally concluding on July 16.

The Internationale echoed through the venue, heralding the arrival of a new era.

On the same day, Colombia issued a call to all countries in Terra to form a “Union of Free Nations”.

Ultimately, only Colombia, Bolivar, and Victoria participated in the meeting. Other countries either lacked interest, dared not come, or had no idea about it at all.

For example, the Sargon region is still in a tribal state, with a piecemeal state structure, which has resulted in the region's development index ranking at the bottom. Let alone more advanced systems, they haven't even figured out how to use feudal monarchy. After the glorious Khanate era ended, this land has never been united again, like the sand of the Spartan land, troublesome and scattered.

Talking about capitalism and communism in a place like this is like asking King You of Zhou, "Why don't you call the feudal lords?"

Iberia is currently in a state of isolation following the Great Tranquility, showing no interest in anything outside. Rembiton, Syracuse, Yan Kingdom, Eastern Kingdom, and Ursus Empire do want to come over, but the problem is that they are all neighbors of the community.

Opposing the Community right under its nose is Lithuania declaring war on the Soviet Union—you have a death wish.

Shelag is a theocratic state, too small in size, and internally plagued by three major families arguing amongst themselves. Overall, it tends to be extremely conservative, making it difficult to reach a consensus on foreign policy issues unless the country faces a life-or-death situation.

It's somewhat surprising that Casimir didn't go, but it's not that Casimir didn't want to go. Rather, it's because Casimir's internal financial system has recently encountered some problems. In order to suppress the economy that might collapse prematurely, they naturally don't have the leisure to care about international affairs. This is why the Colombian "Alliance of Free Nations" only has three participating countries.

In reality, only one country participated. Bolivar was essentially Colombia's subordinate, and Colombia itself was one of the participants. The only outsider, or rather, not quite an outsider, was Victoria.

In the past, perhaps Leitania could have been added to the list, but now that the Community has swiftly crushed Leitania, neighboring countries dare not provoke this behemoth too much.

If the Soviet Union in 1937 had the strength of the Soviet Union in 1981, do you think the neighboring countries would have dared to oppose it?

This is happening to the Community now. To the surrounding countries, the Community is like the Soviet Union during the August 1st military exercises, and even more so, the Soviet Union under Lenin's leadership during the August 1st military exercises. How the hell can they play this game?

Since that's the case, let's be honest. Even if Colombia joins the Free Nations Alliance, it's unlikely to go all out for itself. Businessmen are profit-driven, and Colombia, that bastard, isn't clean either. It's still doing various trades with the Community. To say it opposes the Community is an understatement.

It's not serious. It's just that after being halved, it was fractured again. It was still a bit of opposition, so you can't say there was no opposition at all.

Murmansk, a northern city of the Commonwealth, a mobile city, currently configured along the coast.

The city was transformed from the old Murmansk, and now has 37 mobile fortresses deployed along the coast, partly to deal with the threat of the sea and partly to prepare for the development of the ocean.

The community acquired a large number of advanced technologies from the Liaoning aircraft carrier, which were then applied to new types of ships—not land-based vessels, but true blue-water warships, steel behemoths heading into the deep blue sea.

To avoid being swept away by the Great Stillness like Iberia, all coastal cities are mobile cities, constantly on the move, ready to evacuate when needed. Furthermore, these mobile cities are all more than ten kilometers from the sea, making it difficult for tsunamis to extend further beyond ten kilometers of land.

If the Sealings had the ability to ride the waves, they would have evolved into Earthlings long ago.

As human activity along the coast increases, the frequency of Hai Si's appearances also gradually increases. However, they can only see human mobile fortresses after advancing ten kilometers, and these fortresses are never short of various weapons.

天擎移动要塞，装备十二座双联装1000mm电磁炮，50组5×5垂发单元（可以发射巡航导弹、弹道导弹和防空导弹)，双联装155mm高平两用炮100座，300mm火箭炮发射单元30组（一组30枚火箭弹，可自动装填）以及三联装500mm要塞炮三十座。

This model of mobile fortress is the current mobile fortress configuration of the community, and its bombing effect can be described as a powerful blast.

Since the community decided to move towards the deep blue, the coastal areas have been frequently engulfed in gunfire, and the attacks from the Sea Siege have been frequent. There have been two large-scale attacks, but both were pushed back by the dense barrage of bullets.

As Liu Jiuli discovered, the evolution of the Hai Si is not endless and limitless; they are constrained by reality. Any evolution requires energy, and flesh and blood have their limits. If you want to become tougher, you must pay more energy to your body. To increase the upper limit, the size must increase, and the increased size increases energy consumption. The so-called evolutionary selection is a compromise between survival and the environment.

Targeted evolution can indeed achieve good results in the short term, but just as armor that defends against energy weapons is vulnerable to physical bullets, in reality, even modern composite armor cannot stop everything. There is always one that suits you, whether it is armor-piercing projectiles, high-explosive fragmentation projectiles, armor-piercing projectiles, or high-explosive shells. If you want them all, that's simple: just increase the thickness of your armor as much as possible. In front of 10,000 meters of steel armor, even nuclear bombs are helpless.

The problem is, with that added weight, how can you move? You'd be a sitting duck. If this were a living organism, how much energy would you need to maintain this standard every day? It's less cost-effective than building a bunch of cannon fodder to fill in the gaps.

So, unless it's a Cthulhu summons, you have to bow to reality. An individual's energy has its limits. You must find a balance between reality and ideals, or you'll be beaten up by reality.

Sea-born individuals can evolve to defend against certain attacks, but as mentioned above, the community's artillery doesn't only have one type of ammunition. Even the giant octopus that appeared before was defeated by a super-powerful cannon.

Against such an enemy, it doesn't matter whether a ten-ton shell is a grenade or an armor-piercing shell. The people below will definitely start playing suona horns on the spot, asking who they'll be sitting at.

Because the seaside is so lively, the artillery units of the community are now being brought here for intensive training. Liu Jiuli really likes these targets, which are plentiful and of high quality and low price, no matter how you shoot them. He wants them to hone their skills here first, and then go to the battlefield in the Eastern Kingdom to adapt to the environment. That way, a batch of qualified three-star artillerymen will be formed.

As the coastal area of ​​the community becomes increasingly hot, a group of guests from afar notice the anomaly and secretly begin an investigation. They all share a common identity—deep-sea hunters.

Chapter 311: Hai Si is too strong × Not capable enough √

(Genshin Impact pizza is sold out, which proves that you have to queue up if you want to be a first-hand buyer ╮(╯▽╰)╭)

Deepsea Hunters—the name sounds like a special guest from the Bloodborne movie set, but in the world of Arknights, it's a real organization, or rather, a group of modified warriors belonging to Agor.

Their main task is to hunt down sea creatures and eliminate threats from the ocean.

But in reality, it was a special force established by Agor to protect his own safety. Hunting sea creatures was their job. To prevent the sea creatures from over-evolving, all deep-sea hunters were equipped with relatively simple melee weapons for combat, emphasizing the principle that "as long as I am dumber than the enemy, I can defeat the enemy in my area of ​​expertise."

Ironically, Haisi never considered them enemies, but rather another kind of compatriot. Their attack was actually a rescue, a rescue mission.

Of course, all of the above are thoughts from a human perspective.

From a sociological perspective, Hai Si is indeed so selfless that it's heartbreaking. But in reality, Hai Si has no concept of individual versus collective. They are all one, part of the will of the group, without any distinction of rank or status.

Do the cells in your body create classes based on their own identity?

This is the concept of Haisi, this is their "civilization".

If they even have the concept of civilization.

When the Deepsea Hunters began operating in the coastal areas of the Community, their enthusiasm for going ashore increased significantly. However, the Community's shells were clearly more enthusiastic in this regard, not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of fragmentation and incineration. The appearance of super-large sea creatures meant waiting to be blown apart by giant cannons and missiles, while small sea creatures were doomed to die if they went ashore. In terms of numbers, they obviously could not compete with the Community's shells.

As for using a continuous barrage to wear down the community's cannons and then rushing over while the enemy was replacing their cannons, that was even more impossible. Putting aside the Originium Arts repair system of these heavy cannons, the average lifespan of the cannon barrels, which is over a million rounds, is something that Hai Si cannot withstand. Moreover, the community's mobile fortresses move within ten kilometers inland. After crossing that distance, Hai Si will have completely left the sea and will need time to adapt to the land.

Even if they adapt to the terrestrial environment, they will still face the predicament of insufficient numbers and inability to expand. Their opponents are civilized countries built with a highly efficient information-based social management system with centralized authority. Their maximum mobilization capacity can even reach tens of millions. The Hai Si have a huge advantage at sea, but if they expand to this scale on land, how incompetent will the community's border defense system be?

You might think there are many blind spots in a vast, sparsely populated land, but in reality, the Commonwealth's air force trains every day, especially various reconnaissance aircraft, which frequently fly up and down in the sky. Various early warning aircraft have already been equipped by the troops. If there was any possibility of Haisi developing secretly in the past, now it's not even worth thinking about.

Once the scale expands to a certain extent, even if they want to hide themselves, the operation of the massive cluster will alarm the entire country. Once it exceeds a million, it will be impossible to hide. However, a mere million sea creatures cannot withstand the community's integrated air and ground attack, as has already been proven in the coastal offensive and defensive battles.

Moreover, what is the purpose of the Haisi attacking here? Their goal is very clear. The Haisi system is essentially designed to maintain the survival of the species, unlike humans who have many miscellaneous needs. Therefore, when resources are plentiful, their expansion is very inert, and expansion is only necessary for survival.

The advantage of this is that Haisi's system operates very stably. The disadvantage is that once they decide to expand, they will resolutely carry it out without any discounts, until it can no longer be carried out.

If the countries of Terra had nuclear weapons, the expansion of the Sea Kings would not be a threat. However, their Originium industry system, which is mainly based on handicrafts and large-scale handicrafts, is a fatal flaw.

The difference between producing 100,000 flintlock rifles a year and producing 10 million AK47s a year represents a gap between two dimensions of civilization.

In the era of pure handicrafts, even with assembly line operation, product costs were still very high. The manufacturing difficulty of flintlock bullets was certainly not as high as that of modern bullets, but the latter was cheaper than the former. This is because production capacity spread out costs. This is the charm of large-scale industrial mass production, and also the charm of modern industry.

However, the deep-sea hunters were unaware of the community's actual situation. They were very uneasy about the community's complete disregard for the evolution of the sea creatures and its use of various powerful forces to provoke them. After some internal discussions, the deep-sea hunters decided to have a dialogue with the community's higher-ups, hoping that the community would stop this "suicidal" behavior.

After some twists and turns, a free six-star character appeared before Liu Jiuli: a flush toilet, cough cough cough, it should be a front-loading washing machine, and a dashing older sister—Greedia.

Liu Jiuli was definitely impressed by her, after all, she was the first six-star character given away for free, but in terms of cost-effectiveness, Red Ti was obviously better. Hmm, beware of the new type of nipple clitoris.

For push-pull operations, Ah Xiao and An Suo are better suited.

Liu Jiuli naturally welcomed the Deep Sea Hunters' visit, as they were certainly more familiar with Hai Si and the two sides could cooperate in this area. However, after Gretia explained Agor's tactics and the threat posed by Hai Si, Liu Jiuli realized there was a problem.

"For the reasons mentioned above, we hope that you can immediately stop this behavior that stimulates the evolution of the sea creatures, so as to prevent them from developing a higher level of advanced ecology and threatening the safety of the Terra continent."

Goredia's explanation was logical and well-founded, and sounded very reliable, but Liu Jiuli felt that something was amiss, so he asked:

"Agor has used advanced weapons in his battles against Haizi before, right?"

"Yes." Goredia nodded.

Liu Jiuli: "Could you describe the process of your large-scale battle with Haisi using advanced weapons?"

Goredia: "Of course, the war lasted a month. At that time, we concentrated three hundred ships and launched at least ten thousand torpedoes at Haisi, and the result was..."

"Stop!" Liu Jiuli suddenly called out, then asked, "How much ammunition have you used?"

"About ten thousand torpedoes, one hundred thousand shells, and..." Goredia said doubtfully.

After Gretia finished speaking, Liu Jiuli asked seriously, "Taking artillery shells as an example, what is the monthly output of artillery shells at the Agor Arms Factory?"

Goredia: "One hundred thousand shots."

Liu Jiuli was speechless; he realized where the problem lay.

In the game, Agor is portrayed by Hypergryph as an advanced deep-sea inhabitant who seems to have inherited some of the science and technology of the previous civilization, displaying a very high level of prestige and strength. Of course, this is also a way of highlighting the Sea Sith through contrast.

Look, everyone! Even Argo, with its pre-civilization technology, can't defeat Hai Si. This is a huge threat.

After all, it's a game, so you can write whatever you want. As long as it makes sense and the players can accept it in the end, it's not considered a plot breakdown. It should be called "cool," "awesome," or "good writing."

But when things come back to reality, a cruel truth is laid out before everyone.

Whatever you want to do, you must consume energy.

Humans need to consume energy to breathe, swallow, and move. Even if the sea creatures collectively evolved photosynthesis, they would still need energy. It is impossible to solve this problem with love. Without solving this fundamental problem, talking about anything else is nonsense.

If Hai Si can generate an internal cycle without needing to consider consumption at all, wow, a perpetual motion machine! You've directly shattered the laws of cosmic physics. What survival issues would you need to worry about? The whole world would be your playground. You could be crowned the Fourth Calamity.

The reason why Agor couldn't defeat Haizi and believed that Haizi could evolve indefinitely has been found.

First of all, their industrial capacity is not much higher than that of the countries on Terra. Although they are indeed superior in some technologies, they do not have an overwhelming advantage over Terra. Otherwise, they would have unified the world long ago and taken all mankind to the stars.

Secondly, while Hai Si does possess evolutionary capabilities and its mutation speed is indeed very fast, these changes are all designed to counter Agor's limited means of attack. They simply cannot withstand bombardment of Hao Ren's caliber.

Ultimately, the fundamental problem was not the difficulty of dealing with Haisi, but the weakness of Agor; they simply lacked the productivity of modern industry.

100,000 shells a month? You've never seen 100,000 shells fired in a single day, with the supply of shells increasing. This is because they're treating Haizi as something that can evolve infinitely. It's a classic example of the blind men and the elephant.

Of course, Agor's side must have conducted various in-depth studies on the Sea Sibs. Liu Jiuli doesn't deny that the Sea Sibs as a whole have powerful evolutionary capabilities, but their pure flesh-and-blood threat is limited and not cost-effective. Instead of worrying about their evolutionary capabilities, it's more important to worry about their learning abilities. If each individual Sea Sibs behaved like in the Hypergryph storyline, rapidly growing after consuming a person and sharing knowledge, they would indeed be far superior to humans. As a civilization, they would be enough to crush humanity.

Imagine a country where every individual, from top to bottom, is willing to share everything and sacrifice for the collective good. Everyone possesses a balance between emotion and reason. There is no exploitation from above, no disruption from below, and everyone performs their duties diligently. No matter how low this country's starting point may be, its future would be enough to crush other human civilizations of the same level.

If such a civilization truly exists in the world, humanity either learns from it, or humanity destroys it, or humanity learns from it and then destroys it, or humanity destroys it and then learns from it; there is no other choice.

The Haisi are not such a civilization because they have no higher pursuits beyond survival, while humans are very greedy, and everyone has their own desires.

Humans don't want to walk, so they ride horses, carry sedan chairs, drive cars, and fly airplanes. They don't want to pay workers, so they frantically develop artificial intelligence that doesn't require workers. They don't want to sweep the floor themselves, so they create and continuously upgrade robotic vacuum cleaners. In short, humans are particularly adept at dumping tasks they dislike onto others or machines, and are obsessed with creating their own personal slaves and tools.

You can say this is wrong, but desire does drive the development of civilization. If Hai Si shows such desire, their threat level is enough for Liu Jiuli to consider directly nuclearizing the entire ocean, or trying every means to use them for his own purposes. Otherwise, facing this group of new humans without human flaws, the future of Terra is worrying.

In response to Gladys's concerns and suggestions, Liu Jiuli replied: "Yes, take Miss Gladys on a tour of our factory, let her walk around, see everything, learn from each other, and get to know each other."

At first, Goredia thought Liu Jiuli didn't take her warning seriously, and she secretly shook her head.

Looks like another arrogant mainlander, just wait to be crushed by Hai Si.
