Chapter 828: The Theory of the Sun Never Setting
ng Chao’s blood boiled as he listened to it.
Unlike in his previous life, Dragon City today was taking one step at a ti. It had been passively getting beaten up, and it was tired of dealing with it. It had also been being played around by various forces in the Other World. However, it was much more proactive and determined to make progress!
“That’s right. Looking at the Other World and embracing the universe is the only way out for Dragon City.”
ng Chao added, “It’s not that the economic construction is not important, or that the military is running out of resources. It’s just that the size of Dragon City’s civilization is too small. Even if it occupies the entire Monster Mountain Range, with only tens of millions of people, it would not be able to support a super civilization with large scale and advanced technology.
“You should know that the modern civilization is competing on size to a large extent.
“If not for the billions of consur markets and the vast raw materials base supporting us behind the scenes, the limit of Dragon City’s civilization would have arrived very soon!
“I personally support Dragon City’s ‘going out’ strategy very much.
“The recent layout of Superstar Resource Recovery Company is to march into the depths of the Other World as well as into a broader and more exciting world.
“Yes, although the recent operation of Superstar Resource Recovery Company has made many people confused. So people think that you are rushing things, and you are even more frivolous in your youth. You are so arrogant just because you have achieved a little, but I can feel your urgency to ‘advance regardless of anything’. From this point of view, ng Chao, I believe that we are in the sa boat. That’s why I am willing to discuss the future of Dragon City with you openly and honestly.”
Shao Zhengyang paused for a mont and then changed the topic, “However, although all the Deity Realm experts and the leaders of the major forces of Dragon City have reached an agreent on the issue of ‘Dragon City civilization must go out at all costs’, they have different opinions on how to ‘go out’.
“The main point is, should we expand and colonize the world as an army, or should we spread the light of human civilization to the Other World as a corporation?”
“Army? Corporation?”
ng Chao narrowed his eyes.
He felt that what Shao Zhengyang was going to say next was the most important point.
Shao Zhengyang pondered for a mont and asked, “ng Chao, have you heard of the ‘sun never setting’ theory?”
ng Chao was slightly dazed. He shook his head and said, “I’ve been studying and cultivating in Ruins No. 2 for the past ten days and half a month. I didn’t have the ti to learn the latest theories. What are they?”
“That’s a viewpoint that has been trending on the internet recently.”
Shao Zhengyang explained, “As we all know, our Dragon City civilization originated from the oldest eastern big country on earth. In terms of social form, legal system, and developnt model, including how we expand our influence to the outside world and transform the entire world... of course, we all have a very mature and superior system.
“In the era of Earth, with this system, we rose from the darkest Abyss in just 200 years and once again beca a brilliant country with advanced industry, advanced technology, economic prosperity, and the arrival of all nations.
“The forr overlords were unwilling to be surpassed by us, but no matter how they attacked and suppressed us, they could not do anything to us. Instead, they made us more and more courageous and stronger.
“In the end, the opponents could only use the most extre thod—war.
“Although it has been more than half a century since we transmigrated to the Other World, and it is very likely that we will never be able to return to Earth again, all the citizens of Dragon City regard the spirit of the eastern civilization as our most precious asset during the era of Earth.
“In the darkest mont of Dragon City, it was also this spirit that inspired us ti and ti again to get up from the boiling blood and march forward toward the most vicious enemy, facing death as if it were ho!
“However, there is a view on the internet that the traditional oriental spirit and developnt model are no longer suitable for Dragon City today. We should change our ways and learn from Earth, the other civilizations, and even our opponents.”
“What?”
ng Chao frowned and said, “I’m not saying that there is nothing worth learning from our opponents or even our enemies. It’s just that, in the past two hundred years on Earth, the Oriental countries have been the most successful global hegemony.
“Dragon City’s civilization wants to flourish in the Other World. Not learning is not only the ancestor but also the most successful example. Do we have to learn from those losers who don’t fit in with us?”
“Listen to and you’ll know.”
Shao Zhengyang calmly said, “The theory of the sun never setting doesn’t deny the advanced nature of the eastern civilization. It even believes that the eastern civilization is the most advanced, superior, and ‘civilized’ civilization on Earth in the 22nd century.
“The question is, does the current Dragon City still have enough material foundation to continue adhering to the spirit of the eastern civilization, unwavering and unchanging?”
ng Chao was slightly startled. “What do you an?”
“Since its birth, the eastern civilization has occupied the most fertile land on earth and produced the largest population. Its economic scale and social size have always been first-class.”
Shao Zhengyang explained, “Compared with the ‘nouveau riche’ who suddenly rose up by relying on the Industrial Revolution, our enormous size and deep heritage determine that even if we were defeated by the enemy for a mont, it would be very difficult for us to be completely defeated, let alone completely wiped out.
“As long as we are given a little ti, we can always repair ourselves and develop quietly. We will quietly expand into a colossus again. In the end, instead of ‘breaking down’ the enemy, we will ‘crush’ the enemy with a body that is five to ten tis larger than it.
“Similarly, because we are the number one in the world and far larger than our competitors, as long as we train hard in our internal strength, we will be able to have considerable competitiveness and attractiveness just by relying on the internal circulation of the economy. If we participate in the international competition while ensuring the basic foundation of the dostic market, we will simply be invincible.
“However, is Dragon City today like this?”
ng Chao was stumped by the last question.
That’s right, the eastern civilization was certainly very outstanding, and ng Chao would always be proud of being the son of the east.
The problem was that the difference between Dragon City, which had crossed over to the Other World, and the largest country on Earth, which had dominated the east, was too great.
The forr only had tens of millions of people.
Many key resources could not be self-sufficient.
Being in a state of war for a long ti, the entire economic system had been kidnapped by the high-speed operation of the war machine, and the developnt of many fields was extrely abnormal.
The end of the Monster War did not an that everything was going well.
Once the economic transformation was not successful, the Survival Committee’s financial system would collapse, and it was very likely to lead to an even larger-scale disaster.
Although the ancient ruins and the legacy of the monster civilization had brought the Dragon City civilization technology that surpassed the tis...
Even if the Dragon City civilization could produce five or ten tis more goods with this technology, they still had to find custors!
How much food to feed a son of a b*tch in a jar, how much hormones to administer... It could not be raised no matter what. That was the truth.
At its peak, the great eastern powers of the earth had more than a billion people, more than half of the world’s industrial capacity and a quarter of its consumption, and were able to lay infrastructure all the way to the hottest deserts and the coldest glaciers; In a critical mont, they could easily mobilize an army of tens of millions of people who were united against a common enemy and ard them to the teeth with the most advanced weapons.
This was the true torrent of steel.
To make the present-day Dragon City replicate such a brilliant and powerful civilization in the Other World 100% was really... too much!
“It seems to make sense.”
ng Chao curiously said, “Then, which of the many powerful civilizations of the Earth era is the most worthy for the present-day Dragon City to emulate? The sun never set... The empire on which the sun never sets?”
“That’s right. The supporters of this theory believe that the empire on which the sun never sets during Earth’s Industrial Revolution era has a lot of similarities with the present-day Dragon City civilization. Perhaps, we can learn so lessons from the rise of this small island country in a remote corner to beco a super hegemony with the Union Jack all over the world.”
Shao Zhengyang said, “Today’s Dragon City is far from a civilization with a vast territory, a large population, and abundant resources. We, who are trapped on Monster Mountain Range, have nothing to do with the words ‘vast land and abundant resources.’ On the contrary, it is like an isolated island in a foreign land. It is similar to the empire on which the sun never sets in the past.
“At the sa ti, since the natives of the Other World have not discovered us yet, it can be assud that they do not have the ability to explore the world. Their civilization and technology are different from us, who can manufacture large-scale armored airships, master instantaneous teleportation technology, and export long-range force across continents.
“This is also the most important advantage of the empire on which the sun never sets after the Industrial Revolution. It is more powerful than the ancient countries with more people but less advanced science, technology, and social organizations.
“Therefore, the Dragon City Civilization should copy the strategies and paths of the empire on which the sun never sets from its rise to its expansion so that we can build a version of this empire in the Other World so that our flag can bask in the Other World’s crimson sunlight twenty-four hours a day!”
It did sound like a plausible and bewitching theory.
However, ng Chao slt so fishiness from the words.
“Then, based on the sun never setting theory, what should the Dragon City civilization do in the post-Monster War era?” he asked patiently.
“The sun never setting theory has detailed explanations on economy, military affairs, construction, colonization... you can go online when you have ti. You can find them in many places. By the way, they seem to have clubs and seminars. With your na, ng Chao, if you want to participate, you can get an invitation letter at any ti.”
Shao Zhengyang smiled and said, “However, no matter what they say, the core aning is actually just one—the expansion of Dragon City civilization must rely on the ga corporations and peerless experts. Therefore, we must further concentrate the crucial strategic resources on these two. At the sa ti, we must give these two more privileges so that they can develop freely without any hindrance, interference, and managent!”
