Underwater world. Nu Federation. The capital city is "the land of rising tides".

Strange to say, the underwater world upholds a clear federal system, consisting of the kingdom of the seamen scattered all over the world. The process of the merging of the kingdoms is quite thrilling, and if it is recorded together, it will be thousands of years, and it is not inferior to the story of human struggle. In the end, the kingdoms went through divisions, wars, and finally their ideas penetrated each other and merged into the Nu Federation. On the whole, the Nu Federation is a very strong principality, similar to the European Union in political attributes. However, the names of the various kingdoms have been preserved, so to this day, the capital of the Nu Federation is still called the "Land of the Tide", with the word "country" in the name, but it is essentially a "capital city" attached to the Nu Federation.

The border of the Land of Tides is a long forest of red algae, each about ten meters long, planted on the ocean floor like a row of trees...... As the water flows, the slender red algae dance like a flag, which is also a rare spectacle.

"Whoosh————"

An airship in the shape of a flying fish flew through the red algae forest in the direction of the Land of Tides, pulling out a series of blisters behind it. The airship is dark blue in color, similar to the ore in the deep sea, and is not very eye-catching. After the most cutting-edge technological processing of the Nu Federation, it can resist the terrifying water pressure at the bottom of the sea, and it can drive as fast as a race car on land. The position of the fish's eyes is two underwater headlights, which are used for illumination, and the position of the head of the flying fish is almost branded with a golden trident pattern, this pattern represents the official power of the Nu federal coalition government, theoretically speaking, the person who flies this airship represents the Nu alliance people in the execution of official duties, authorizing the right to change speeds, change lanes, accelerate in the city-state, and even run a red light in an emergency......

Shizuka sat by the window in the airship, watching the red algae forest "brushing" on the window, and passing away quickly, with inexplicable complicated feelings.

Back then, the five-member group was taken to house arrest in the Land of Rising Tides and quietly slipped out of the city...... Sneaking all the way, almost walking in the red algae forest, the city found them fleeing. So the Nu Federation immediately sent people out to chase after him, Doraemon immediately took out the props, and the five of them hid underground together, watching the airship fly overhead in horror, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere...... So much so that now when she sees this red algae forest, Shizuka will still have a trembling feeling.

Of course, in the past days, the identity is different. Now, she has come to the Federation as an "important envoy".

The young Al who had a little fate with the five, attacked the Temple of Poseidon together, and made great contributions to the Nu Federation is now grown up, and he is sitting directly opposite Shizuka at this time. The blonde hair has not changed much, the figure is tall and straight, and even if the clothes are a little looser, you can still see the solid muscle outline that bulges under the material. He wears a black Admiral uniform with a gold trident on his chest. In the Nu Federation, this pattern is recognized as the "official high-level", which acts like a military rank in our army...... Being able to wear this kind of uniform with a trident proves that Al has half a foot in the upper echelons of Nu Federation politics.

You don't have to think about it to know that ten years ago, Poseidon's "destruction program" entered the countdown stage, and it was about to explode the surviving nuclear bombs to all corners of the world. If he really released the nuclear bomb, he couldn't imagine what the situation would be now...... At that juncture, Al personally participated in the attack on the Bermuda Triangle and indirectly saved the world, which was a great achievement. (The plot is from "Nobita's Undersea Ghost Rock City") With his outstanding military exploits, Al also took advantage of the situation to enter the political circle of the Nu Alliance, from a military leader with a little leadership to a serious leader.

Otherwise, he might not really be able to pick up Shizuka in person......

The airship staggered into the city.

It can be seen that the Nu Federation is still quite concerned about the alliance. In order to greet Shizuka, they specially emptied the main streets of the Land of Rising Tides, so that Shizuka looked out of the window and saw it alone...... The streets were unusually deserted, but they didn't have the tense atmosphere of martial law, and the traffic could still be heard a few blocks away. It's just that the route of this airship is completely under martial law, and there are soldiers with guns everywhere, as if they are afraid that a terrorist will come out of somewhere and blow up the airship.

……

"The Nu Federation has really changed a lot." Shizuka withdrew her gaze from the outside and gathered on Al opposite, with a decent smile on her face, like a little diplomat, "The last time I visited, I remember that there weren't so many high-rise buildings here...... Including these airships are also used by the government. And now, the number of airships has greatly increased, and it has become a means of transportation that even ordinary people can use. ”

"This ...... They have all been learned from you earthlings. Al scratched his head a little embarrassedly and smiled, "You took down the fortress of Poseidon and saved everyone. After that, the Nu Federation began to re-examine some of its views on the earthly people, and sent two waves of spies to the earth to learn the excellence of the human race...... We found that private transport was a commonplace thing on land. What's that called? ”

"Cars."

"Yes, cars, every citizen can buy. The car was framed with tracks, the skin was thickened, and with the addition of a gun barrel and gunpowder, it became a tank. This incident tells us that it is completely possible to reduce the effectiveness of what the military uses and downgrade it to the version used by the people...... Something like this has never been considered before. There is also the Internet, which allows all citizens under the rule to connect together through the Internet, transmit information at high speeds, and at the same time further promote the birth of new things......"

He paused as if he suddenly realized something, and smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I said too much at once." ”

"It's fine." Shizuka waved her hand slightly, telling him in body language that he didn't have to be so restrained, "I can see that the Nu Federation has changed a lot......" she turned her gaze to the window, staring at the newly built high-rise buildings and the many airships that were flying through the city like schools of fish in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "Compared to then, what I see now is a newborn Federation, not an ancient specimen embedded in amber." That's a good thing. ”

She stroked her long black and shiny hair and said casually, "Look at this situation...... You've experienced more than one technological explosion since we're gone, right? ”

"......" Al looked at Shizuka meaningfully, and for a moment, his eyes were as sharp as a knife again, as if he was going to see her through from top to bottom. But Shizuka was unmoved, her hands were still folded, and there was a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth - she was not a casual little girl, she could cry when she was stared at, and the world that people had seen was big.

Seeing that she didn't show any flaws, Al had no choice but to withdraw his aggressive eyes, and secretly sighed in his heart that it was really the eighteenth change of the female college student...... A little girl who used to be so pure and lovely, gentle and considerate, but now I don't know why, she has become more comfortable even in such high-pressure situations.

Why?

He had heard that if a girl liked someone, she would be willing to take the initiative to change herself for him.

Is that the same with her? Changed because of Nobita's change?

……

Al shook his head, shook the gossip out of his head, and replied honestly, "Well, given your contributions to the Nu Federation, and the fact that we may soon have a long-term relationship, it doesn't make sense to keep your fortune history a secret...... You're right.

The five of you were the first land-based people to visit the bottom of the sea, and that's all that happened...... When Poseidon woke up and all intelligent life on Earth was on the verge of extinction, the entire Nu Federation collapsed, and the government system almost completely stopped. And then you know...... It was up to the six of us to break into Poseidon's interior and reverse the mortal situation. ”

"One can imagine how big the impact of this fact on the government is after the disaster."

"The people were told that on the night they were asleep, there were countless nuclear warheads on alert, and that if one mistake made a mistake, the nuclear warheads could come out of their nests at any time, and they would turn into carbon slag in their sleep. And it was five young earthmen and a lowly sea knight who reversed all this, which made the people feel more angry than ever...... The useless rhetoric of the government was ignited in an instant, and under the pressure of public opinion, the government had to carry out internal political reforms. I also took this opportunity to take advantage of the east wind to be promoted to the top of the military circles, and after ten years of doing it, I barely climbed to my current position...... I have a little bit of a reputation in both the military and the political circles. Who would have thought that a small sea knight would be able to do this? ”

Al shook his head and smiled wryly, obviously very dissatisfied with the heavy bureaucracy of the Nu Federation.

After that, the new government began to study the Poseidon system, from which it learned how to construct highly intelligent AI and everything needed for a honeycomb network. In addition, the technical data of the Bermuda Triangle's 'Energetic Shield' has also been discovered, and the Nu Federation has organized five scientific teams to conduct research, and now it has begun to bear fruit......

Naturally, the arsenal that originally belonged to Poseidon was also incorporated into the arms stock of the Nu Alliance. We found that in addition to nuclear bombs, Poseidon also has many large-yield bombs, as many types as the stars in the sky, and there are even many bombs that we don't know what they are...... All in all, I'm glad I captured Poseidon in the first place. It's like an endless treasure trove, and if you search carefully, you can always find something that is good for the development of the Nu Federation, and this is our first technological revolution, and at the top of the Federation, we call it the 'hardware revolution'. ”

Shizuka diverged a little and said thoughtfully, "So there is still a 'software revolution'?" ”

"It was you people on earth who brought about the software revolution." Al took a deep breath, "Remember? As I said earlier, in order to learn from the people on earth, we sent some of them to lurk on land, and when they returned, they ...... They introduced some advanced concepts and knowledge from the ground to the bottom of the sea, causing quite a stir. ”

"It was only then that we understood that the 'democratic' system adopted by the Nu Federation was still very immature, very low-end, and had a lot of idealistic things. Under its rule, the people will lack vitality, and technology itself will stagnate, relying on the abundant resources of the sea, and everyone will not starve, but it will not be able to go further...... In this respect, human beings are clearly better at managing the state than we are. As a result, this kind of thinking began to become widespread, and some sociologists spontaneously studied the management model of a large human country, and gradually had a more advanced and excellent ideological spark...... Within two years, these ideas began to spread and even became one of the compulsory courses in schools. ”

"This is the software revolution." "With the help of progressive ideas, our scientific and technological achievements have made breakthroughs one after another, like ignited gunpowder...... In the appellation of the top, this is the second technological explosion. ”

"Good thing." Shizuka smiled faintly, "You already have the basic conditions to join the Olive Leaf Alliance, if nothing else, you, the underworld, and the heavenly people will become the backbone of the alliance." ”

"Are you sure?" This time it was El's turn to be suspicious, "That merfolk...... But he has the ability to manipulate the sea! ”

"The power of the individual is limited in most situations." Since Nobita put the video of the four hundred sentinels vs. Blake at the base, this concept has been deeply implanted in the hearts of several friends, "So...... Yes, I can be sure. ”
