Chapter 100: Conflict
The Ninth Theater of Operations. The eldest grandson, Lian'er, told She Xuan to describe the world of the Ninth War Zone.
"We live in a world that is higher than the First War Zone in terms of the level of human civilization. But the living environment is much harsher, and the problem we have been facing for a long time is always survival. ”
"Half of our planet is eternal day, and the other half is eternal night. We call them the day hemisphere and the night hemisphere, respectively. The magnetic field on the dividing line between the two hemispheres of day and night is extremely chaotic, the gravitational pull is abnormal, and there is a circle of naturally occurring ultra-high frequency rays, which no living creature can cross unscathed. ”
"Even the most advanced delivery vehicles are turned into a pile of wreckage by the vagaries of gravity and the irregularity of hurricanes as they try to cross the demarcation line. So most of the time, the day and night hemispheres are isolated and independent of each other. ”
"The Daytime Hemisphere is governed by the Seven Kingdoms of the Dawn Federation, and the Night Hemisphere is governed by the Dark Court of Five Nations. The place where the stars in the day hemisphere shine directly is our day pole, and the corresponding side of the night hemisphere is the night pole. ”
"The area near the diurnal pole is a land with extremely high temperature, and there is almost no possibility of living organisms surviving, and it is almost a dead place. ”
"It's the opposite near the night pole, where the temperature is extremely low and the cold kills all life that tries to break into the night pole. However, even in the diurnal and nocturnal circles, which no one can reach, there is the main energy source of our planet. ”
"There is a fire tree growing in the diurnal circle that produces crimson crystals, which we call flame crystals. These crystals contain enormous energy, and their strategic and economic value far exceeds that of the oil of your First Theater world, and they are the core energy source that supports the civilization of the day hemisphere. In the icebergs of the night polar circle, a kind of snow crystal is produced, which is a necessary resource to promote the development of the night hemisphere. ”
"Outside of our world, there is a comet called the Death Star, whose orbit is an extremely flattened ellipse, and our planet is at the center of this ellipse. ”
"It takes 200 years for the Death Star to orbit once in one cycle, and every 100 years it approaches our planet. When the Death Star approaches the diurnal hemisphere, the diurnal polar circle expands rapidly, the temperature rises rapidly, and when the Death Star is closest to the diurnal pole, the entire diurnal hemisphere will be destroyed. We call it the Flame Plague. ”
"Generally speaking, the entire Death Hemisphere is almost impossible to survive for 2 years before and after it leaves the Death Star. Fortunately, when the Death Star approaches, the geological anomaly on the dividing line between the day and night hemispheres will disappear, which means that the separation between the two hemispheres will be opened. ”
"Therefore, whenever the heat is imminent, the Dawn Federation will coordinate the migration of the 7 major groups to the night hemisphere to seek refuge and survive until the death star leaves. As I said before, the periapolar circle is inaccessible, so it is almost impossible for people in the diurnal hemisphere to actively obtain fire tree crystals, but when the death star approaches and the entire diurnal hemisphere becomes an unsurvivable periapolar circle, the fire tree will grow widely in the diurnal hemisphere. When the Death Star leaves, the countries of the day hemisphere return from the night hemisphere and reap the enormous energy riches. ”
"In the same way, when the Death Star approaches the night hemisphere, it causes a cold plague. The entire night hemisphere will be gradually covered with snow and ice over the course of 2 years. At that time, the Dark Court will organize the five past of the night hemisphere to move to the day hemisphere, and when the cold plague passes, the people of the night hemisphere will return and get the snow crystals scattered all over the place. ”
"Fire Crystal and Snow Crystal are important resources for our world's survival. After thousands of years of development, the application of Yanjing and Xuejing has been integrated into every corner of our lives. Even cultivation is very dependent on this. ”
"The day and night hemispheres of our world have spent a long time in this way supporting and assisting each other. However, with the development of our technology, more and more underground structures have been developed, and underground structures have appeared in both hemispheres day and night, where they can escape the heat and cold when the Death Star falls. ”
However, the high development costs of the underground complex limit the fact that only a few upper floors are destined to be eligible for occupancy. Ordinary people still have to migrate long distances to other hemispheres for refuge. ”
"Because the upper echelons of the day and night hemispheres do not need to leave the land where they live, they can quickly gather the resources of the flame crystal and the cold crystal after the disaster. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, and after that, every time a disaster migrates, it will not bring any benefits to the repatriation, but will increase its own social burden. ”
"Ordinary people need to prepare for the cost of migration 10 or even 20 years before the disaster strikes. During this period, agriculture in the migrating world was almost at a standstill, and it had to rely on food reserves to survive. This gives the upper echelons of space for those who don't need to leave to continue scavenging the middle and lower tiers. This has made our world's social stratification even more severe. ”
And when one hemisphere is in the status of a displaced country, it cannot get any benefit from the refugees who have been exploited all the way in the face of the poor people in the other hemisphere, so gradually, the top leaders of both hemispheres are unwilling to treat these migrants well, and even many people start to call them wanderers. ”
"Social conflicts are beginning to intensify in our world, but we have been seeking change, and my father, the eldest grandson, Tianhong, is the head of the Yao-Sun Federation. His lifelong wish was to resolve the root causes of the conflict, so that all classes in the hemisphere could share resources and live in peace. ”
"My father withstood a lot of pressure within the federation to complete the reform of the system of social inclusion. However, my father's kindness and compassion for the Wanderers was seen as weakness by the radical Wanderer Movement, and a revolution of the Wanderers broke out. ”
"This is a war of wanderers against the ruling class, this war lasted for sixteen years, affecting all seven countries in the hemisphere, as the so-called granary of the hemisphere, the land of the ground was almost in ruins, a large amount of arable land was destroyed, and a large number of labor was lost. And my father was also forced to step down in this war. And I succeeded in ascending to the position with the means I had accumulated before. Although the riot eventually ended with the Wanderers being suppressed, the impact on the day hemisphere was far from over. ”
"We are running out of resources, factories are forced to shut down, agricultural water is paralyzed due to lack of energy, and the lighting system of the underground complex can only last two or three hours a day. Just after the end of the war, it takes resources to recover from the war, a lot of arable land has been destroyed, agriculture has been severely damaged, and it will take at least 20 years to return to its original level, but the most deadly thing is that there are only 3 years left before the next fire, and our daily hemisphere food can only ensure the survival of 57% of the people. ”
"Even if our ruling class tightens their belts and controls their daily diets, at most 70 percent of the population will survive. In other words, no matter what efforts we make, three out of ten people will starve to death. ”
"People will not choose to bow their heads in the face of death, they will do everything to survive. So my father blocked the news of the lack of food, and even the people who worked as statistics were put under house arrest. Because once this matter is announced, there will be another post-war riot in the hemisphere, and the number of people who will survive by then may be far from 70%. ”
"But just when I was in a dilemma, the reincarnation game appeared, and the acquisition of reincarnation badges can be exchanged for food. Moreover, after the coordination of the Overseer, the Ninth War Zone was forced to complete the reunification in the reincarnation primary, and the reincarnation candidates in the day hemisphere decided to contribute the reincarnation badge in exchange for food. ”
"However, the candidates among the low-level wanderers don't trust us, and even if Yuki mediates in the middle, it will only ensure that we can reach a unity in the face of the world war and the plan to eliminate Ye Qingmian. ”
"According to our initial calculations and distributions, if the badges of all the abilities in the day hemisphere can be planned uniformly, then at least 95% of the people can survive, which is already the limit. However, because of the fragmentation and unplanned nature of the candidates at the bottom, the number of people facing death will rise dramatically. ”
"In the land of the morning, there are two brothers whose parents were killed in the war. However, they were fortunate enough to be selected by the reincarnation game and became candidates. They hate the rule of the Dawn Federation and attribute the death of their parents to our greed. ”
"The brothers have always felt that we are using food as a weapon to continue to suppress and even starve civilians after the war, so they have plundered our granaries several times and distributed them unplannedly to the hungry people. This disrupted our overall plan once again, and the projected percentage of eventual survival dropped again. ”
However, the brothers' actions have won a lot of hearts and minds and have been imitated by other wanderer candidates. In order to ensure the stability of the overall situation and the interests of the whole. We decided to capture these two brothers and prevent them from going their own way, causing immeasurable damage to the people of the day hemisphere. ”
"However, with the Reincarnation Badge that can be exchanged for any item, the two brothers have been able to avoid our gaze and continue to loot the granary and distribute it arbitrarily. They thought they had saved some people, but many more were dying because of them in places they couldn't see. ”
"The limitations of their vision left them without a co-ordination arrangement, and the only thing they could do was to see where they were starving, so they robbed the food and sent it. And those who receive food consume these resources without moderation and planning, which in turn expands discontent and suffering. ”
"We finally decided to put the brothers to death, but when they were cornered by the Union forces, they chose to go to the road of heaven. Unfortunately... And they succeeded. ”
"The Overseer wants to put me in the position of candidate leader of the Ninth War Zone, and given her deterrence, my position is still secure. However, when the brothers succeeded in the primaries to become past competers, some opposition began to emerge among the Wanderer candidates. And for the night hemisphere, they don't care who the leader is, as long as it's strong enough, it doesn't matter. ”
"When we arrested them before, we almost destroyed their hometown and injured a lot of their villagers, so this contradiction is almost irreconcilable. So when they became capable, the identities of the hunter and the prey were reversed. ”
"However, in order to avoid the confrontation between the Wanderer Tier and the Ruler Tier candidates, it will affect the overall strength of the Ninth War Zone. The nominee leaders in both hemispheres of day and night have come up with what they consider to be a relatively modest solution. That is, they can choose to continue to support me, but they will not actively hurt the two brothers, and the hatred is only between the three of us. ”
"It was a test for them and a test for me. They won't stop me from killing those two brothers, and they won't stop them from killing me. The one who survives in the end can become the true leader of the Ninth War Zone. What they are willing to rise and fall is either the wisdom of my eldest grandson Lian'er, or the strong ability of the two brothers in the past camp. ”
The eldest grandson Lian'er said it very concisely, but for She Xuan, it was no less than understanding a world. For the eldest grandson Lian'er and the two brothers, She Xuan is inconvenient to evaluate right and wrong, they just stood on their own position and vision and did what they thought was right.
And She Xuan finally knew that the eldest grandson Lian'er, as the commander of the Ninth War Zone, why did he still need to rely on external forces to deal with two people with past abilities. It turned out that the two brothers occupied the hearts of the people at the bottom of the day hemisphere, and the blind public would not understand the coordination of the upper level, but whenever something went wrong, it must be the fault of the leader.
The public cannot see the undesirable consequences behind the two brothers' sabotage of the plan, and they will only support the actions of these two people.
This led to the Ninth War Zone's non-interference attitude towards the eldest grandson Lian'er and the two brothers. In other words, they still recognize the leadership of the eldest grandson Lian'er, which can be regarded as the eldest grandson Lian'er's good means.
She Xuan was silent for a moment, thought for a moment and asked, "How long is it until the fire disaster in your day hemisphere?"
"Less than a year. The eldest grandson Lian'er replied.
She Xuan frowned, "The food problem in the entire hemisphere, this is already more terrible than the fire disaster. In less than a year from now, you're going to starve to death there. ”
"Therefore, the turmoil at the bottom will continue to intensify, and under the leadership of those two brothers, there is a faint possibility of another riot. ”
"Don't they know that even if they kill you, it will be useless, and that they will overthrow your rule and not produce more food out of thin air. She Xuan was a little surprised.
"No, there will be more. We have a surplus of reserves. ”
After the eldest grandson Lian'er finished speaking, She Xuan was even more puzzled, "These reserves are used up, everyone..."
"You can live. ”
"How...?"
Eldest Sun Lian'er smiled bitterly, "I can leave the day hemisphere alive to escape the flames, and then what about the night hemisphere will not take in these people, but they still have to come back." Is it possible to wait for the previous year to restructure the land without eating or drinking? Can we wait for the previous year to plant crops without food or drink and wait for the grain to ripen and harvest? Can we wait for another half a year to distribute the grain to everyone who needs it?"
"These food reserves are the hope of rebuilding the hemisphere and the minimum we can do with our budgets to restore the functioning of society. Once breached, everyone can indeed live, but at the same time, there is no future. They may choose to stay in the night hemisphere by force, or they may continue to come back with a delusional desire to ask us for food. But either way, it's all a tragedy. ”
"I sought cooperation, first of all, in the hope of turning all the candidates for management into dream disturbers, expanding the income of the reincarnation badge, converting it into food to soothe people's hearts, and weakening the foundation of the two brothers at the bottom. At the same time, I invited Ye Qingmian to enter the real world of the Ninth War Zone to stand up for me, force the neutral candidate team, and make my leadership status worthy of the name. Finally, kill the two people who have been able to do the past to realize the trouble. ”
