Doctor, I'm really strong!

After arriving in the community, Rosetta didn't make any friends, mainly because her life revolved around two points and one place. Living as a forest ranger in Siberia for a long time left Rosetta completely clueless about how ordinary people lived their lives.

High emotional intelligence: an excellent warrior.

Low emotional intelligence: Completely incapable of living a normal life.

In the Siberian environment, there's nowhere to enjoy yourself. Moreover, as long as the constructs have energy and routine maintenance, they can keep working. Therefore, the daily lives of the rangers, including Rosetta, are very simple, and over time they become less emotionally detached. Only Diana, as the adjutant, is different; she is more emotionally rich, which is why she is everyone's favorite. In terms of leadership, Diana is more suitable than Rosetta, but in a perilous environment, Rosetta is more suitable than Diana.

However, after arriving in the community, the abundant resources and her newly acquired body allowed Rosetta to live like an ordinary person. For a long time, Rosetta's movements were always a simple, safe, and standard routine. Meanwhile, the STEM professionals at the research institute, who were clearly not very knowledgeable in psychology, were mostly the type who could work from home for six months without a care in the world. Neither side felt that there was anything wrong with their current lives.

Until Magellan appeared.

Although the little penguin isn't someone who enjoys life, he still has the normal life that ordinary people should have.

After learning about Rosetta's life, Magellan's first reaction was that this was abnormal, but Rosetta herself did not react. So Magellan would take Rosetta out every now and then for ordinary shopping trips, ordinary shopping, ordinary errands, and to talk about some personal secrets. That was all.

But this was a life Rosetta had never experienced before. From being somewhat afraid at first to later adapting to it with ease, Rosetta was grateful for Magellan's help, even though the latter didn't feel that he had helped her at all.

Because that's something that any ordinary person would do.

Now the two have become good friends. Magellan's apartment during his business trips happens to be in the same place as Rosetta's, so they run into each other from time to time. Whenever they do run into each other, they make sure to go out for a stroll if they have time that day.

How's work lately?

"I'm fine, how about you?"

"We're still traveling around, but we've made quite a few new discoveries recently, and we're about to head to the polar ice caps. There are definitely many things worth observing there, and hopefully they'll be helpful for our future research."

Scientific research is never as passionate as it is for laypeople. In reality, most of the time, researchers are observing, experimenting, testing, and collecting data in various environments, using countless exhaustive methods to obtain what they want or discover new data.

The simplest example is a particle collider. This equipment sounds cool and powerful, but for non-professionals, using it is a form of mental torture. You simply cannot judge what is amazing about that pile of colorful and illogical microscopic images. But researchers have to find their favorite part from this vast sea of ​​data, and this part often has the potential to propel human civilization forward by leaps and bounds.

But those things are just too abstract. Researchers without a high degree of professionalism can't stand them. To put it bluntly, anyone who gets a headache just looking at math is basically cut off from cutting-edge science after graduating from high school. Those who can get into it are tough guys who can release dopamine through numbers.

In comparison, Magellan's field research work is actually a more enjoyable type, at least it makes staring at the practice problems much faster.

Of course, regardless of the type, patience is essential. If you were to stare at an ice field for years, you would understand what loneliness is. If you can keep yourself from developing a mental illness by talking to yourself, you could easily get a license to provide psychological counseling to others after you leave the ice field.

After finishing their work for the day, the little penguin and Rosetta decided to go to an Eastern-style restaurant to fill their stomachs.

The main dishes here are various seafood products, which are Magellan's favorites. To ensure food safety, the seafood here is all processed at low temperatures. On the issue of food safety, the community's strict requirements all come from Liu Jiuli's strict orders.

You can certainly adulterate food, but the bullets of the Community are made of the real thing.

If someone transfers assets during the investigation, congratulations! Regardless of the charge, you'll face the death penalty, and all those involved will be brought back, along with their families. However, based on meritorious service, these individuals may be acquitted. In that case, you'll be the only one left to suffer. Think carefully before making a decision.

The effect was excellent. After arresting and publicly punishing thousands of "role models," a clear red line was drawn for food safety in the community, and everyone stayed within it obediently, not daring to cross it even half a step.

"Welcome, it's been a long time, Miss Magellan."

"Hello, madam, we're here again, at the usual spot."

"Okay, no problem, this way please."

Magellan and Rosetta were regulars here. Under Magellan's influence, Rosetta, who was from Siberia, also came to like this Eastern-style cuisine.

Ironically, the vast majority of people in Dongguk are unaware of what Dongguk cuisine is.

The vast majority here does not include the common people of the Eastern Kingdom.

The reason is very simple: because of the existence of the sea monster, the development of the ocean by various countries is relatively limited. Although the East has a near-shore fishery, the scale of development is very small. After all, not every country can be like the Community, greeting the entire sea monster family with various explosives before going into the sea to fish.

Now, the Sealings are all traumatized by the Community's art. Unless a higher-ranking Sealing organizes an attack, scattered Sealings will not run towards the Community at all. They have even changed their habitats to get further away from the Community's explosive coastline (various mines, hedgehog bombs, and anti-submarine missiles have blocked all of the Community's coastal areas).

As a result, other coastal countries suffered double the invasions from the sea monster, which is called "striking once to avoid being struck a hundred times".

Those countries that cannot launch a single, decisive attack will only be able to withstand a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand punches from Haisi.

The Sea Si did launch a large-scale counterattack, such as attacking the Great Tranquility with the help of a tsunami. However, the problem was that the community's coastal defenses were all mobile fortresses, the furthest being one or two hundred kilometers away, and the closest being ten kilometers from the coastline. As soon as there was a tsunami warning, they would immediately run away. No matter how powerful the tsunami was, it could not penetrate fifty kilometers into the inland.

After all, it was just a tsunami, not sea level rise due to global warming.

Once the tsunami has subsided and the forces are exhausted, it will be the Community's turn to sharpen its knives.

Don't worry about Hai Si's body being difficult to dispose of. The recycling station set up by the all-powerful factory can clean up Hai Si's body, ensuring that there are no excess harmful residues. Everyone who has used it says it's great.

After these problems were solved, the community's deep-sea fishing industry developed. With the support of deep-sea fishing, the community's coastal cities truly became prosperous ports. I dare not say anything else, but at least there was an abundance of all kinds of delicious seafood, enough to make you feel nauseous.

The chefs who came to the community from the East quickly discovered the business opportunities here. After passing the community's food safety and business license certifications, they opened restaurants serving their hometown specialties, namely East Korean cuisine, specializing in various kinds of fresh seafood.

Because the marine fisheries in the community are developing rapidly, the seafood caught is diverse, high-quality and inexpensive. Chefs from the East quickly discovered a new market, developed new strategies, focused on user pain points, and launched a series of combined initiatives. They meticulously cultivated the freshness of the seafood, conducted thorough market research, and improved the dishes according to local needs, successfully creating a set of East-style cuisine in the community.

This is an open secret among chefs in the East: the place of origin of East Korean cuisine is actually the community. As for the so-called East Korean characteristics... it's not that they don't exist. Knife skills and cooking methods are certainly characteristics. At the very least, the fact that the owner is from the East is 200% true.

Right next to Magellan and Rosetta, another group of Agor deep-sea hunters, who also love seafood, are enjoying a delicious seafood feast.

Skadi, Specter, and Grace are currently part of the Agor Special Envoy team. Their main task is to come to the Community to investigate and learn from their advanced experience in eliminating the Sealings.

However, Goredia felt that there was no need to learn anymore, and even if she did, Agor wouldn't be able to learn it.

The Community's method is art, and art of greater quantity. This mass production technology is something Agor does not possess. The Community's 1,000mm electromagnetic railgun shells can be produced in units of hundreds of thousands or millions. Even if Agor were to manufacture crossbows, it could not produce as many of their super-heavy artillery shells.

The gap has widened to the point where they can only lie down and rely on the powerful. The deep-sea hunters' previous tactical thinking has become a joke.

This time, I just brought some former colleagues here for a visit and to receive the weapon upgrade service provided by the community.

Liu Jiuli said he would give them a surprise.

Section 331: The Crossroads of History

(There are four more major chapters to come: Economic Crisis, World War, Invasion from Another World, and the Vast Expanse of Space...)

Liu Jiuli was not surprised by Gretia's return visit.

When Ling took her to visit the artillery shell factory, she showed a strong yearning for art, a kind of persistence comparable to that of a failed art student in Vienna. This will surely push her to come back to this place where she can realize her dreams.

For the Agors, their greatest dream is to completely expel the Haisi, ideally leaving none alive.

I wonder if there's a liberal who likes to kill horses among them.

This time, Goredia brought two full teams of Deepsea Hunters, but none of the Agorians.

"It seems your higher-ups don't believe in the strength of the community," Liu Jiuli said calmly.

Goredia said with shame, "Yes, I didn't do a good job."

“To be precise, it’s arrogance,” Liu Jiuli said incisively. “Agor doesn’t believe that there are any more productive forces on land than they do. This arrogance makes them not even willing to send a convincing person to take a look.”

Goredia didn't say anything, but she agreed with Liu Jiuli's statement from the bottom of her heart.

That's arrogance, utter arrogance.

As for the cooperation proposed by Agor, Goredia didn't mention it at all. Her own people were really outrageous, not even showing the most basic attitude of cooperation. The so-called cooperation terms were like charity. This kind of behavior was simply suicidal. What good would it do to anger the community? The other side was a powerful force that could really use "art" to evaporate Agor.

Although the Agorians cooperate with the Iberians of Terra, this cooperation is limited to technical personnel, that is, private cooperation, and has nothing to do with the Agorian government.

Liu Jiuli was too lazy to bother with these outdated old fogies. Times had changed, and those who couldn't keep up would be eliminated.

However, Liu Jiuli still values ​​the Deep Sea Hunters. These people are heroes who protect humanity. Since they are heroes, they should be treated like heroes, given better equipment, and made into special forces personnel to hunt down the Sea Creatures.

Some special Sealings have disguised themselves as humans and entered the Terra continent, or rather, some humans who voluntarily chose to accept the flesh and blood of the Sealings have become their accomplices. These races from the deep sea are marching towards the Terra continent. Although they have not yet shown any intention to invade the entire Terra continent, as long as there is an irreconcilable conflict of survival between the two sides, then it will inevitably be a fight to the death.

We could also take the opportunity to study Agor's genetic technology. Hopefully, their deep-sea hunter modification isn't like Bloodborne's blood therapy, which is so low-tech that no one wants to learn it.

During their in-depth conversation, Liu Jiuli learned about an institution that did not appear in the game—the Hunter Academy.

Although it's called an academy, it's actually a retirement home. Many hunters with physical disabilities teach here or serve as school guards. They are like hidden masters, appearing to be disabled, but if a fight breaks out, their life experience alone can crush 99% of newcomers.

The reason it's not 100% is because there exists a kind of prodigy in the world called a genius. In front of them, your years of hard study are no match for their casual flipping through a book.

"To be honest, our community has made great achievements in prosthetic technology. They are heroes of humanity and deserve better treatment. If they come to our community, we will provide them with prosthetic transplants free of charge. Even if they cannot recover to their full potential, they can at least live a healthier life."

"Thank you for your generosity, but..."

"Don't worry, the Community is not Columbia. We have no interest in conducting human experiments. Of course, I admit that we are still very curious about the genetic technology in the Deepsea Hunters, but that's all. Whether or not you want to participate in the cooperation is up to you. You can also act as a supervisor to oversee and guide the entire process. We will respect any taboos the Deepsea Hunters may have. They are free to leave after the treatment is completed, and we will never interfere."

Goredia's heart skipped a beat, and she asked incredulously, "You really... no, I don't mean to doubt you, it's just a little... unbelievable."

"Because many countries want to obtain the Deep Sea Hunter technology, your danger comes not only from the sea creatures, but also from the covetous eyes of those around you, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, thank you for your understanding. We need to discuss this matter."

"Of course, that's your prerogative. Whatever decision you make in the end, it won't affect our cooperation going forward. This is my guarantee to you as the chairman of the Terra People's Community, and it's also my personal commitment."

"Thank you so much."

When Goredia returned, she told her colleagues about it. Opinions were divided on whether or not to accept the community's cooperation, with many voices opposing it because they had been hurt too deeply.

The Deepsea Hunters' activities extend beyond the deep sea to the continent of Terra, where they also target deepsea cults. This inevitably leads to interactions with various factions on Terra. Consequently, countless individuals covet the Deepsea Hunters' strength and desire their technology. Deepsea Hunters on missions in Columbia have encountered such situations, with the conflict escalating to the point of bloodshed. Ultimately, the Deepsea Hunters completely withdrew from Columbia, leading to a large-scale riot in 1081, sparked by a deepsea cult.

Colombia lost three mobile cities as a result. Although the Colombian government sought cooperation from the Deepsea Hunters afterward, no Deepsea Hunters ever entered Colombia again, because the damage was too severe.

There are countries that express goodwill, but their kindness is not cheap. They either directly ask for benefits or give you a taste of sweetness first, pretending to be very friendly, and then reveal their true colors when you lower your guard. We have seen this kind of thing far too often, so when the official community shows such sincerity, the deep-sea hunters have to question its credibility.

Trust is very expensive, especially in this kind of environment.

However, some people still chose to believe and went to the door in person.

Deepsea hunters fight against all sorts of demons and monsters year after year, so it's impossible for them not to have hidden injuries. The community's medical technology is unparalleled on the Terra continent, so we have to give it a try, and also clear out mines for our comrades.

The medical department had already received Liu Jiuli's orders and took the deep-sea hunter's personal visit very seriously. He was immediately sent to the First People's Hospital for treatment, with expert consultation. The patient's privacy was fully respected, such as whether the deep-sea hunter had any contraindications. Any blood samples with residue were sealed and given to the patient for disposal, to show that we had no intention of coveting you.

Right now, a bunch of researchers in the community are still focused on the constructs. The genetic ascension of the Deepsea Hunters and the mechanical ascension of the constructs are both very promising research topics. If the Deepsea Hunters are unwilling, they can start with the mechanical ascension. Even mechanical prosthetics require medical expertise to guide them.

Rosetta has made a tremendous contribution to the advancement of medical devices in the community; applause goes to the constructs from another world.

Kazdel New Liberated Area, Labor City

As a new type of city, Labor City is highly technologically advanced. As a model of a new city, it features wireless power transmission technology, advanced urban AI-assisted management, ubiquitous surveillance cameras, and various types of intelligent robots handling cleaning and dredging. It also boasts underground shared parking lots, cheap water and electricity, and a very low cost of living. As long as you are willing to work hard, eight hours a day, you can easily support three children.

Because of socialized parenting, raising children is not difficult, and family structures become stable and healthy. However, to enjoy these benefits, parents must accept new institutional terms. For example, parents who fail the parenting test must send their children to specialized care institutions after birth. Of course, parents have the right to visit their children at any time and can take them home to enjoy family time on holidays.

All these institutional systems, designed entirely to create a more advanced civilized society, will leave a solid mark on the community's future path of civilization. Such cities will be built one after another, ultimately completely overturning the old social order.

Anyone can apply to enter the city, but newly naturalized citizens must first pass a citizenship test.

“Listen, no matter what your life was like before, from today onwards, you say goodbye to the past for good. You will have a brand new life, a brand new name, and even a brand new family and relatives.”

"Everyone knows what the past was like. We've complained, we've experienced it, we've awakened. Now you are people, people who must earn your future through your own efforts and struggles!"

The person speaking to these new recruits was Lappland, and the sergeant next to her was Texas, who had only recently enlisted.

Now Lappland is a colonel and political commissar, a political cadre with knowledge, culture, thought, and awareness.

Watching Lappland speak passionately on the stage, Texas could no longer connect her with the crazy killer she used to be; they were completely different people.

It was the community that changed her, or rather, it was the new society created by the community that transformed her.
