I have a map editor

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong in allowing Hong Kong to develop freely according to the course of history.

In military tactics and survival strategies, one approach is to proactively create weaknesses to trick the enemy, which is somewhat similar to cutting off the tail to survive, but in fact there are some differences.

Create a weakness and let the enemy think it is your weakness, and then attack this weakness. But in fact, this weakness is just fake, or it will not feel bad when attacked, but when it is attacked, it can protect other aspects from being attacked.

Is Hong Kong important? Yes, from the perspective of sovereignty and integrity.

Is Hong Kong not important? It seems that it is not that important. It implements the "one country, two systems" policy, and its GDP is independently calculated. In the mysterious country, even a small mountain village contributes to the national finances, but it does not have to pay a penny.

The demonstration effect in finance and other fields was either destroyed by itself or replaced by other areas of the mysterious kingdom.

Given that the world is full of malice, it seems to be a very wise measure to leave such a place at the door like rotten meat, attracting mosquitoes, flies and maggots and reducing the chance of them entering the "house".

But in the real historical process, it seems to have always jumped out on its own initiative to play the role of "rotten meat", and it played it very well, attracting mosquitoes, flies and maggots to eat.

Thinking about it from this perspective, Yang Sheng was a little undecided. You know, even in the more than 20 years since the return, whether going from the mainland to the Special Administrative Region or returning from the Special Administrative Region to the mainland, you need to apply for a pass from the public security agency. Is this a similar measure to building a cover on a septic tank?

……

After signing a cooperation agreement with the north, Yang Sheng suddenly had more funds at hand.

It’s not that the local foreign currency reserve loan from the North has arrived. It’s just that there is no such convenient means of money transfer in those days. Even if there is a clear financial amount, it will need to go through many procedures before it can enter the bank account he established in Hong Kong.

Instead, it was Ship King Huo who took action and provided Yang Sheng with unlimited amounts of his own operating funds for his use. After a one-day trip to the "Guanyingshan Community" with his son, Feng Xi and Zhang Hui, they knew that there were hundreds of such larger floating land masses suitable for human habitation, and countless that were not suitable for habitation. Especially after seeing how minerals including gold were produced in the [mine], they no longer had any doubts about Yang Sheng's origins and statements.

No matter how rich others are, they are definitely not as rich as him because he can produce gold directly.

Even if Ship King Huo does not have enough funds of his own, he can use gold as a basis of credit and find some bigwigs with similar status to him for financing.

He doesn't even have to worry about the success of the investment. Anyway, Yang Sheng has paid him a sum of gold reserves as a guarantee, so Shipping King Huo is sure to make a profit.

However, Yang Sheng is only making preliminary arrangements now, and the investment is not very large. Shipowner Huo can afford the required funds himself.

With the help of Shipping King Huo, Yang Sheng easily established dozens of trading companies. These companies had office space and their own warehouses. They were not shell companies but legitimate entity companies.

Everything is easy to talk to the employees, there is no need to lower the standards, there are plenty of people locally. Hong Kong has started its involution long before the mainland these days, but finding the specific person in charge of each company is a headache for Yang Sheng.

There are excellent professional managers in Hong Kong, but there are problems in various aspects, especially in terms of values, so it is difficult to find suitable ones.

As for the mysterious country in the north, it is under blockade, so there are suitable and capable foreign trade talents, but they are relatively scarce. For example, big guys like Li (Meow) Qiang are generally ministerial officials. Although Yang Sheng can persuade a few such people from the mysterious country to come and work for him by using the tiger's skin...but it's too 404, and it's a bit of a waste of talent.

And considering the future development and cover issues, it is more useful to have a white skin of a high-level Celestial Dragon.

Yang Sheng turned his attention to his own Guanyingshan community.

Among the former Stuart residents, there are also people who are proficient in business, but it is difficult to find those whose talents and ideologies can adapt to modern society. Values ​​are one aspect, and responsiveness is another.

Therefore, the heads of these trading companies can only be found among the former residents of the Flower Kingdom world in the Crown Eagle Mountain community, and there are indeed many professionals here who used to be engaged in the trading industry or were senior executives in multinational companies.

But there is a problem here. Yang Sheng has taken good care of these guys. They all live a wealthy life, and their own extraordinary level belongs to the second tier in the power. Few people are willing to leave the community and go to an ordinary world to engage in a career that can't even be considered as land reclamation.

Zhuo Yisi and Luo Ruier took turns to interact with some people in the community, and they basically had the same attitude.

After thinking about it, Yang Sheng came up with a solution.

There was no salary increase, but some supernatural materials were added to the remuneration of these positions, such as the "experience value" KPI reward that fluctuates according to the business situation, a small amount of rare supernatural supplies every month, and the invitation letter for the black market auction organized by Claire...

Once this routine was implemented, within a few days, these guys all obediently went to "Wolf Fang Corner" to report to Yang Sheng.

These people are basically middle-aged people over 40 years old. Regardless of whether their marriages are stable or unstable, their children are either studying at Yang Sheng's [Magic Skills Academy], or working in the Guanyingshan system or the special rescue team. Moreover, there is a barrier between the extraordinary world and the ordinary world. They themselves are extraordinary people with [attribute panels], so there is no need to consider their loyalty at all.

In appearance, they are all blond-haired and blue-eyed high-level Celestial Dragons. This skin alone will gain them a lot of advantages in their business activities in the next twenty to thirty years. And strictly speaking, they are all authentic old Chinese people who follow the Stars and Stripes. If you round it off, they are American citizens of this world.

Maybe some immigrants in the United States across the sea don't think the Stars and Stripes are as authentic as theirs.

Although Yang Sheng had no interest in overthrowing the regime, exporting assassinations and terrorism, it was more than enough for him to make good use of these people to safeguard his trade activities in this world.

……

0067

The "submarine airship" flew smoothly and silently in the space-time channel filled with glowing purple cloud-like substance.

In the cockpit, there is a hemispherical space in front of the control panel, which simulates the external scene in real time through illusion magic, making the entire closed cockpit look like a spherical glass cockpit. This is a function that Yang Shengxin "thought of", which can greatly improve the driving experience. Because illusion magic is something he has mastered himself, the cost of this transformation is very low and the time taken is very short.

However, this change is aimed at ordinary people without extraordinary mental power. Any extraordinary driver who can project his spirit body through the boat basically does not need this function, because they can "see" the scene outside the boat through mental power or other similar abilities. If it is a setting in a fantasy novel, it will be useless.

The "divine mind" can be used to scan an area of ​​thousands of kilometers or even the entire planet.

Lina, with long black hair and wearing a school sportswear, stood beside Yang Sheng with shining eyes and an eager look on her face - but Yang Sheng didn't dare to let her try to fly his airship easily, especially in this kind of space-time channel.

Although she successfully obtained a driver's license from the mysterious country No. 02 and drove smoothly, she changed more than a dozen driving school instructors and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in car repair costs alone... Maybe the setting of kitchen destroyers or vehicle killers really exists?

Emily and Nina were also on the airship, but they had long lost interest in this kind of flying and were now chatting in the activity room at the back.

……

This is a family trip.

Since he couldn't figure out a strategy to implement in Hong Kong in the 1980s, Yang Sheng simply put the matter aside and took his wife and Nina out to relax and change his mind.

In the airspace of the "Misty Realm Space" where space cracks are frequent, two people were doing daily maintenance work for a few days. Occasionally, they discovered this dim space-time channel and came in to take a look.

Because Lina had a contractual relationship with him, he consulted her opinion and took her along on this trip.

Come to think of it, this fairy dragon has hardly visited the "Misty Realm Space".

The structure and environment in the "Misty Realm Space" are quite bizarre even from her perspective.

The sightseeing and experiences during the past few days opened her eyes.

The composition of magical elements in the world on the other side of this space-time channel may be very different from that in the "Misty Realm Space". The air from the two worlds mixed and converged in the channel may have undergone some reaction, resulting in a purple mist form.

Walking along the long and narrow passage, we soon reached the end.

Most of the space-time rifts here are caused naturally or unintentionally, and this one is no exception.

When the submarine arrived, the exit had been narrowed to the size of a basketball.

Generally speaking, if you want to travel through this situation, you need to stop to make a space-time stabilization device, or cast a space-tearing spell to expand the exit to a size that can accommodate the airship before you can safely travel through.

If you just crash straight into it, the edge of the space rift will produce different effects depending on its type. For example, the edge of some space rifts is the most invincible blade in the world, and anything tangible and material will be ruthlessly cut.

Either the edge of the crack itself is an invisible and intangible existence, and nothing will happen if you hit it, but you won't be able to pass through it either.

Under Yang Sheng's control, the "submarine airship" only slowed down but did not stop, and crashed into the space exit at a lower speed.

The first thing it came into contact with was the barrier opened by the "submarine airship". In an instant, it made corresponding countermeasures based on the automatic response mechanism. The huge body of the submarine suddenly appeared in a flash of light, and a large number of golden symbols appeared on the surface of the spherical shield. When the smooth bow of the "submarine airship" touched the space exit, time and space distortion occurred, and it seemed that the entire submarine airship was stretched and thinned, and it suddenly drilled through the gap the size of a basketball.

And when you arrive in the other world, the process that just happened happens again in reverse.

After recovering from the distorted special effects, the densely packed golden symbols in the spherical energy wall began to dissipate. After being transformed into a normal energy shield, the invisibility barrier took effect again, and the huge boat silently faded and disappeared under the clear sky.

During this process, Yang Sheng and others who were inside the airship did not feel anything.

……

Thick smoke blocked out the sky.

This was the first time Yang Sheng saw a real forest fire.

Whether it is TV or movies, the fire scenes created are extremely limited. At most, a wide-angle lens can cover a few hundred meters or even a few kilometers. But now the fire on the ground has spread for dozens of kilometers.

"Wow, what happened? How could there be such a large fire area?"

Because of the illusion imaging system, when you are in the cockpit of the airship, you don't need to lean on the porthole to see the outside world simulated by illusion magic under your feet.

Emily sat next to Yang Sheng and exclaimed in surprise.

"It's really strange. Naturally caused wildfires won't burn all at once over such a wide area. There must be some that start first and some that start later."

Because they are at high altitudes, everyone's field of vision is extremely broad, and the illusion imaging system developed by Yang Sheng, when used with modern technology telescopes, can reduce and enlarge the outside world in the cab, just like using a mobile phone with a high-magnification camera in your hand.

Nina also heard the voice and came to the cab. She stood by the side, folded her arms and looked at the screen, and said:

"I feel that the magical elements in the outside world are very strange, as if they were forcibly distorted by something."

"Oh, I see. It's definitely that one. The forbidden spell!"

Emily clapped her right hand on her left fist and suddenly said with some excitement: "Just now or not long ago, someone must have used forbidden magic here, which is why it caused such great damage. The remaining violent magic energy also inadvertently created an unstable space-time rift, which is the one we came from."

Yang Sheng looked at her and laughed: "How many online novels have you read? How come forbidden spells and magic appear?"

As he spoke, he zoomed in on a few spots on the ground: "Not likely, these traces of fire did not emit any radiation.

There are traces of shock waves. If it is a forbidden spell, then its power is not strong enough."

"Perhaps the caster was not competent enough and the forbidden spell failed midway, so this was a fire scene caused by a failed forbidden spell."

Emily sat on the chair, swaying her body from side to side, and used her car headlights to point at Yang Sheng, as if she was dissatisfied with him ruining her show.

A few people talked and laughed for a while. No one in the family was an extreme environmentalist. Although the fire below looked terrible, no strongholds of intelligent creatures were found within the detection radius of the "floating airship", so no one suggested putting out the fire.

The normal flight mode of the "floating airship" must be a stealth mode with various shields and anti-reconnaissance barriers. Yang Sheng fiddled with the operating table for a few times, activating the detection and special vision magic recorded in the airship's operating system. Several screens on the table displayed the images one by one.

A special vision magic similar to a spectrum display can observe the invisible magic elements and energy fields in the air. Apart from the thermal turbulence emitted by the fire on the ground, it can indeed be seen that the arrangement of magic elements in a wide area is very strange.

It seemed as if they were gathered into different categories by people, and then spread out in all directions in a clear and distinct manner... Well, after observing carefully, Yang Sheng changed the wording to "flow".

"It seems that someone did forcibly condense a huge amount of magical energy here, but it caused the most explosive reaction in the end. It may be some side effect that caused this fire covering dozens of kilometers."

Yang Sheng analyzed the picture.

"This guy who casts the spell looks very powerful. I wonder if he is a legendary wizard or a Saint Chio wizard."

Emily echoed.

"Master Saint Qio... Eh? You know this joke?"

Yang Sheng→_→ glanced at his wife.

"Hey, it's in your study materials. I thought it was something else?"

Emily ←_← looked at him, with an expression of "That's it!?" vividly on her face.

"Uh, it looks like I need to format the hard drive..."

……

The fire burned extremely fiercely, and the thick smoke that covered the sky gradually faded. The crowns of the trees dozens of meters high on the ground were burning together, often forming a red fire curtain covering an area of ​​several kilometers. Looking down from the sky, the scene was extremely spectacular.

Zooming in the picture in the cab, you can see many animals running away with sparks in the gaps between the blazing woods. However, the fires burning simultaneously over dozens of kilometers are not wildfires caused by spontaneous combustion, so there is not much space for escape.

Most animals could only run a few kilometers before falling to the ground due to high temperatures, suffocation or burns.

But this world is a magical world, and there are also a small number of beings that are not afraid of fire at all.

For example, on a tree with a burning crown and sparks falling like rain, there is a bird that looks like a velociraptor or a rooster, or a walking chicken? Anyway, it is a creature with its front claws evolved into wings and covered with feathers.

This creature that looks like an ostrich squatting on a tree obviously has the ability to cast a barrier spell. The treetops are burning, and the branches that extend out are also burning, but there is not a trace of flame in the sphere with a radius of about ten meters with it as the center. Moreover, this barrier obviously has the ability to provide fresh air, otherwise, in such a large fire, the oxygen on the ground would probably be no different from being hit by a dozen thermobaric bombs.

This thing just squatted peacefully on a tree branch, neither running nor hiding. Instead, it came to the edge of the barrier from time to time, picked up a burning branch from the outside, and waited for the flame-repelling barrier to extinguish the branch. Then it used the smoking branch to continuously smoke itself.

It's definitely not "grilling itself" or doing some magical prehistoric barbecue of a crown-robbing dinosaur or something like that, but it's using smoke to repel insects.

Sometimes it would break away from the barrier, rush into the fire, and drag the dead animals nearby into the fire barrier, piling them up at the roots of the trees, making it difficult to tell whether the fire barrier was its own ability or the tree's.

A huge lion-like cat with its whole body burning did not struggle or roll in the fire, but wandered around like taking a walk. The prey that usually required great effort to catch was now easily available.

Like the firebird above, it is not afraid of flames at all and takes the opportunity to collect food for itself.

If you observe its flames carefully, you will find that its fur has been burning without any signs of burning, especially its lion-like head and neck, which can leave a long belt of fire when running, which is very cool.

An ice-blue stag with tall antlers and spiral patterns all over its body was trapped by a pool of water. Although it did not have the ability to be immune to fire or to create a fire-proof barrier, it could move water from the pool to create an ice wall.

Just like Yang Sheng uses the ability of "Mage's Hand" or "Shaping" to create buildings or objects, this line of ice-blue stags also has a similar ability to control the flow of water. The pool water is alive, and there is a constant flow of water from above to provide it. It uses its innate ability to continuously control the water in the pool to flow ashore, and creates circles of ice.

This guy is a pure vegetarian. He used ice walls to protect a large area of ​​forests and grasslands. He did not go out to collect animal carcasses during the fire. However, he has a bit of a lone wolf personality. Not only does he reject other animals, he also rejects doe and cubs that appear to be of the same species as him.

Its walls of ice refuse to let anyone outside, or drive them out from their protective enclosure.

There was also a creature that looked like a thick-armored dinosaur, walking slowly in the fire... But after a while, it suddenly kicked up all four legs and fell to the ground, with its tongue sticking out, and died - this guy was a real noob, not a monster at all, and was just relying on its thick armor and dull pain sense to endure the damage from the fire.

But its movement speed is too slow. Although its physical defense is excellent, it still cannot avoid being roasted.

……

Lower the "floating airship" a little and fly it over the forest, and you can see many strange creatures and magical beasts along the way.

This is a magical world, maybe science is not important.
