At the celebration of Meta City, countless mechanical creations that had absorbed the scientific and technological heritage of the upper city over the past hundred years appeared in front of everyone's eyes for the first time.

Heavy Mech, Mecha Samurai, Auxiliary Exoskeleton, Fighter Drone, Spider Self-Propelled Turret......

Uptown is immersed in the spiritual world, and many scientific and technological achievements are locked in the archives of the tower.

Now, with the stationing of a large number of scientific researchers, these long-standing scientific and technological research work has been restarted one after another, and the heritage of Meta City has also reappeared.

Seeing the display of many weapons and equipment that have never been seen before, whether it is the people of the upper or lower city, the pride and excitement are overflowing.

However, for the diplomats of the various city-states, they only felt a deep sense of fear and threat. It is necessary to send the news back to the city-state as soon as possible, carefully consider the relationship with Meta City, and deal with the rise of Meta City as soon as possible.

Gu Shun also announced a major plan at the celebration: Meta City will open the era of interstellar navigation, develop and manufacture space vehicles and outer space scientific research bases, and send people to space.

The news immediately shocked the audience.

The original intention of Strephen to create the metaverse was to enjoy the feeling of being on the ground through the metaverse during the long-distance interstellar travel, and to relieve the boredom and loneliness of deep space travel.

Now, Gu Shun initiated the interstellar voyage plan of Meta City, on the one hand, in order to inherit the fighting spirit of Meta City that was vigorous and went to heaven and earth.

On the other hand, it is to continuously improve the scientific and technological strength of Meta City, gather all forces, and realize the new transformation of Meta City with the help of aerospace.

Thus improving the settlement evaluation of Sims.

Sure enough, after the news was announced, the audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The diplomats who were there couldn't sit still.

Meta City opened the age of interstellar navigation, in addition to being able to occupy more space resources, it was also the fuse that set off a space race between city-states.

In order not to be subservient, they have to carry out aerospace research and development, but this is not easy to say.

They don't have the population and economy of the lower city, and they don't have the technological background of the upper city.

With the help of spaceflight, Meta City can even reshape the discourse power among all the city-states of the entire continent, and dominate the future of mankind by dominating space.

Aerospace is like a spell that haunts the heads of all city-states, and Gu Shun is the first to open this Pandora's box.

Meta City's move was to drag them down and not let them succeed.

……

After the celebration, the city-states that came to watch the ceremony were divided into two factions.

Some city-states that were close to Meta City immediately established diplomatic relations with Meta City and concluded a friendly alliance, hoping to participate in the research and development of interstellar spaceflight.

The other faction of city-states that had risen on the mainland for many years was very jealous of Meta City under Gu Shun's control, and they did not want to give up the hegemony of their city-states on the mainland. He immediately lodged representations and warned Gu Shun not to act rashly and abandon the space program, otherwise he would be restricted.

Gu Shun is naturally very welcome to the city-states that have established diplomatic relations, but for those city-states that are arrogant and try to threaten themselves, Gu Shun laughs and doesn't pay attention to these clowns at all.

The purpose of this celebration was to show off the power of Meta City, to show off its strength, and to announce the return of Meta City to the world.

It's normal to be jealous and hateful. As for the hostile city-states, let them be afraid.

The city of Meta acted without looking at the faces of other city-states.

Meta City continued to evolve according to its own plan, and the construction of the spacecraft began to unfold in an orderly manner. A number of large scientific research centers were inaugurated to recruit scientists and researchers from across the continent.

Countless researchers and experts have left their city-states and rushed to the holy land of scientific research like the moon.

Seeing that their threat did not work, and that there was a massive brain drain within the city-states, these city-states that were hostile to Meta City immediately issued a ban and arrogantly demanded that all scientists stay.

At the same time, these city-states also formed an anti-Meta alliance and sent an envoy group to Maita City to negotiate with Gu Shun.

They arrogantly demanded that Meta City share the scientific and technological achievements of the upper city, and at the same time stop the research and development of spaceflight, and accept the investigation and supervision of the city-state alliance.

In response to these arrogant and unreasonable demands, Meta City naturally rejected it at the first time, and the envoy group was expelled from Meta City on the same day.

This move made the alliance lose face on the mainland.

Therefore, in order to prevent the development of Meta City, these city-states imposed a complete blockade on Meta City, prohibiting all residents of Meta City from living and doing business in the city-state, and cutting off all official exchanges, hoping to make Gu Shun submit.

Faced with this self-defeating threat, Gu Shun immediately responded.

The city of Meta issued a proclamation welcoming the inhabitants of these city-states to settle in the upper and lower cities and conduct commerce, but to stop one-way trade to these city-states.

Gu Yu

As soon as the news came out, many foreign residents who had long been yearning for Meta City, especially Shangcheng District, rushed to Meta City regardless of the obstacles.

The openness and inclusiveness of Meta City contrasts sharply with the narrow-minded selfishness of the city-state alliance.

The city-states soon discovered that their blockade of Meta City had not only lost its reputation, but had not restricted the development of Meta City in the slightest.

On the contrary, due to the policies of Meta City, many people, especially scientific and technological talents, secretly flowed to Meta City.

And more and more city-states began to turn to Meta City out of profit.

Gu Shun's trick completely annoyed them.

Therefore, they convened a general meeting attended by all the mainland city-states, and openly asked all the city-states to choose sides, hoping to coerce all the city-states to isolate Meta City, so as to completely lock off all trade and exchanges with the outside world.

What they didn't expect was that at the meeting, the supporters of Meta City left their seats in anger, and their coercion not only did not work, but pushed more city-states to the side of Meta City.

There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, Gu Shun can give them more benefits, and they are naturally unwilling to follow those city-states that are hostile to Meta City and let their interests be damaged

Seeing that the coercion could not be achieved, several city-states took the opportunity to declare war on Meta City and formed a federal army, in an attempt to completely make Meta City subordinate to it with the help of war.

They claimed that the mechs and mechs displayed in Meta City were nothing more than bluffing models, and a large number of arms dealers also took the opportunity to preach and make a lot of money.

This happened to be in Gu Shun's arms, and with the development of space vehicles, Gu Shun felt more and more that the current resources were stretched.

The size of a city-state cannot support the consumption of large-scale space development, and it needs more resources and land.

Therefore, under the pretext of their declaration of war, the people of Meta City, who had long been extremely dissatisfied with what they had done, raised their voices to fight.

In order to be able to teach these city-states with no one in their eyes, many people signed up to join the army.

Meta City is naturally not a soft persimmon to be bullied.

On the same day, a grand review was held in the city of Maita, and Gu Shun issued the news of the declaration of war to all the residents of the city-state.

All of a sudden, the sound of killing in the square shook the sky, and the crowd was excited.

Greeted by all the people, relatives and friends, the soldiers of Meta City, carrying the latest weapons and equipment, walked in front of the square.

With full of pride and determination to take revenge, he went to the battlefield.

And so the war began!

What people didn't expect was that the fierce Federation Army was about to collapse at the touch of a button in the battle against Meta City.

The powerful gap between weapons and firepower shocked all the Federation soldiers who participated in the battle.

His own plane was shot down before he could resist under the strike of the fighter drone in Meta City.

The federal army, which lost air supremacy, was quickly used as a live target by the overwhelming number of drones.

On the ground, the tanks were surrounded by mechanical samurai and heavy mechs, and they became moving iron coffins, and they were all destroyed in less than ten minutes.

The positions that the Federation Army was proud of quickly collapsed under the dense suppression of fire.

This was a unilateral crushing massacre, and the defense that the Federation Army was proud of was torn apart like paper under the perfect cooperation of Gu Shun's land and air.

By the time the soldiers of Meta City rushed up in exoskeletons, the war had come to an end.

Some of the surviving Federation soldiers knelt on the ground in horror, looking at the horrific corpses of their companions next to them, they could no longer have the slightest fighting spirit, and they wanted to raise their hands and surrender immediately.

In addition to the extreme fear in their hearts at this moment, they also cursed the consuls who had declared war on Meta City.

These arrogant consuls, who sit in parliament all day, have no idea what kind of monster they have provoked.

Qiao Hongyu, who was in charge of the front-line command, was wearing a special body armor and was heroic, like a Valkyrie, she came to the command position of the enemy army, looked at all the captured officers, and shook her head contemptuously.

I thought they would be able to resist a little more, but she was defeated so quickly that she wasn't happy yet.

When the enemy officer saw Qiao Hongyu, he said in a panic: "You can't kill the prisoners, let us go back to the city-state, we are willing to negotiate peace with you." ”

Qiao Hongyu took an order from Gu Shun, "Go back to the city-state?" You don't have a city-state anymore. Come and don't be rude, pass on the order of the city lord, continue the attack, and take the enemy city-state. ”

In an instant, dense and loud shouts of killing echoed on the battlefield. Above the sky, countless drones whizzed past like swarms of locusts.

All the enemy soldiers who witnessed all this raised their heads in despair, as if they had seen the end of the world.
