Chapter 777: The True Strength of the First Civilization

To the future moments millions of years ago where the Big Mac and the primordial beasts were staying, a small country in the Mediterranean, she only had a land area of just over 50,000 square kilometers, and the whole territory was surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Except for the countryside, there are small population towns, and the rest of the vast population is accommodated by major cities. While preserving the antiquities, new settlements and commercial facilities were developed and constructed, and tall high-end apartment buildings were erected to accommodate a large population.

At the same time, in response to the huge population and traffic, many cities have already upgraded to add corresponding lanes and subways to divert the vast population. It's really because the population of this country is really a bit overloaded. More than 50,000 square kilometers of land accommodates more than 20 million people, and the load on land is not ordinarily large. Although the country has been engaged in land reclamation projects, it does not mean that many people will be able to afford the huge cost in the short term. The fact is that the cost is a bit inflated, and although their residents are generally richer than other places, it does not mean that they are rich enough to buy land and build houses on the new islands.

In order to cope with the increasingly obvious land shortage in the future, housing design that can reduce the use of land while not making the rooms too compact has become the mainstream design. After the hard work of many talented designers, new ideas for space and land occupation began. Subsequently, new buildings were erected, making full use of the space, making the house beautiful while the internal space environment would not be too compact and oppressive. This was unanimously sought after by the people, who in turn built or bought related houses.

Despite the serious land problem, the government has not chosen to invest in many wetland reserves, nature reserves and mountain forests. They have been on a limited land, making full use of every inch of land, and applying everything reasonably. At the same time, the scarcity of land has made the price of the country somewhat inflated, and the food and various daily necessities have also increased with the population, and can not fully take care of the entire population. Therefore, the annual import of various materials and daily necessities by Tuthelm is an astronomical amount.

If it weren't for the country's highly developed science and technology, using various technologies, it would have earned a huge amount of money all over the world. Then, she can't maintain her own powerful armament and related scientific and technological research and development. Because of this, this country is different from many other countries, although the land is small. However, her status as a superpower is truly recognized, and it is also the only country that cannot be replicated.

At the same time, with the original fall of King Kong, a big trouble, although it also brought losses. However, the outside world was shocked by the force that Tuthelm had displayed through this move. Whether it is the aircraft carrier fleet flying flags on the sea, the developed air force of this country, or the various defenses and weapons hidden underground, it is terrifying. For the first time, a country within the Mediterranean has found that the force of this country is so terrifying.

No one thinks that the military power exposed by the Fallen King Kong's troubles is the full strength of this country. However, the exact amount of the country's total strength has been speculated by the outside world. A series of calculations and analyses of their land area, population size, per capita income, and government income have never ended and never stopped. As a result, it is naturally unbelievable, because there are many countries in the world with little land, large population, and rich per capita, but the force of these countries can basically be ignored by the powerful countries.

Because, such a country is destined to be dominant only for a while, but not for a lifetime.

Whether it is land, resources, or population, it is destined that such a country will not continue to maintain a strong state. The problem of land can still be solved through land reclamation, but the problem of resources is difficult to solve. Because there are some resources that cannot be purchased by money alone. Because those are usually strategic resources, which belong to the resources that countries strictly prohibit export.

However, Tuthelm, with its highly developed technology, not only through the reuse of resources, but also from the sea. At the same time, in her vast overseas territories around the world, related mining facilities have been built one after another. Through the power of science and technology, all kinds of materials hidden in the sea are mined one by one, and then transported back to the local processing reserves or land reclamation operations.

And many problems that are not known to the outside world make it difficult for the outside world to guess the true strength of this mysterious country. Obviously, their land area is so small, and it is clear that most of their resources are sequestered, and although the resources are abundant, most of them have not been mined. However, this country has always been able to maintain its strong military power for many years, and it still has the spare energy to continue to conduct relevant research. This situation has made the whole world think of today, and even now, it is impossible to figure out, let alone analyze, how they can maintain their status and at the same time have enough money and resources to carry out corresponding research and development.

Of course, the outside world will not understand that although Tuthelm's land is small, although the technology is very advanced, although they mine all kinds of resources in various overseas territories around the world, and mine resources in their own territorial waters. However, the most critical resources, as well as the corresponding resources that do not exist on Earth, have always been mined from alien planets and shipped back to the mainland.

Originating from the alien race with a high degree of civilization and intelligence captured by Jiang Ning, they used their technology to open a stable wormhole. At the same time, a series of engineering and mining equipment were built to continuously extract resources from extraterrestrial planets in the universe and transport them back through a steady stream of transport vehicles and spaceships.

Therefore, even if the outside world wants to break its head, it will not be able to think of this at all.

Moreover, the related facilities and wormholes are located in a super-large underground space thousands of kilometers underground. The precious research institute, as well as the personnel and various equipment, are also located underground. The area and space required for the continuous excavation and development of underground space, the installation of various types of equipment, and the opening of giant wormholes must be able to meet the installation of wormhole equipment and the opening of wormholes, and at the same time, they must also be able to accommodate the entry and exit of spacecraft and docking work.

Therefore, the scale of such a super-large underground space is unimaginable. The entire earth, except for Tuthelm, which has such technological prowess, can build one and several super-large underground spaces. It is difficult for any country to have the strength and technology to continuously excavate and build one giant underground world after another. This is where Tutheim's confidence lies, and where his real secret lies.

Therefore, this country, this island nation, can have enough confidence to maintain its own high quality of life, and at the same time have enough strength to maintain its military strength and global status, and carry out multiple research programs. That's because the royal family and government of this country are very clear. All this is because of one person, but also because of the power of science and technology, which has brought them unimaginable huge wealth and unshakable super status.

Otherwise, even if it is the original birthplace of civilization, after thousands of years of long changes, I am afraid that it will have long since declined. Reduced to a product of the old era, there is no ancient country, the title of the first civilization, but there is no corresponding strength!
