Spring came to the Ocean Country again, and it is very strange to say that the continent where the Ocean Country is located is the only "world island" on this planet that can be called a continent, and the rest are scattered, adding up to a total area of only five or six million square kilometers.

These data were observed by Xin Yu after he flew out of space, and although they are not as accurate as satellite remote sensing measurements, they are not far away. And the World Island, the continent where the maritime country is located, is incalculably large...... At least Xin Yu is in space, because of the curvature of the planet, he can't calculate it. If you estimate it, it will be about seven or eight hundred million square kilometers.

However, most of this large land mass is distributed in the northern hemisphere of the planet, that is, except for the equatorial region, the seasons are synchronized in the rest of the entire continent. Therefore, when spring returns to the ocean country, most of the whole world also ushers in spring.

Of course, for the change of seasons, except for those peasants who still need to watch the weather and eat, at most plus those ordinary people who need to increase or decrease their clothes accordingly, it can be said that most people, especially for astrowizards, the change of seasons has no meaning to them at all...... The only thing of value is probably to tell them that another year has passed.

For Xin Yu, the arrival of this spring not only means that he is one year older, but also means that the Ocean Country has begun to enter a higher stage of development.

Although Xin Yu has been sending this signal to the people of the entire Ocean Country, that is, he, the crown prince, will not take over the development of the Sea Country at some point in the future, but his younger brother Xin Kong will ascend the throne. But for the people of the entire Ocean Country, even the current king Xin Daqiang, his status and prestige among the people are not as high as Xin Yu, the crown prince.

So although Xin Yu, the crown prince, is a little "unworthy of the name", but in general, his influence in the Ocean Country is definitely at the level of the "Father of the Nation". Not to mention that every citizen of the Ocean Country will be grateful to Xin Yu, but most of them, from officials to civilians, cannot ignore Xin Yu's ...... to the Ocean Country The changes brought about by Xiao Zhou, the border of the former Great Liang State.

Speaking of which, the Ocean Country has been established for more than twelve years, and from the perspective of the development of the entire country, its degree far exceeds that of all the countries on this continent, even if ordinary people cannot have a wide range of activities like an astrologist, but from the situation of the surrounding countries, they can obviously feel the strength of the Ocean Country.

This kind of strength is not based on force, although on the sea, because the national policy of the maritime country is to ask for wealth like the sea, so for those pirates, pirates, and even the fleets of hostile countries, it has always been out of a strong position.

However, in the land direction, because the maritime country only borders the current Daliang country, there is no possibility of conflict or even war at all. And the vast sea, what kind of naval battles have taken place, for this world where the transmission of information is still very primitive and backward, is not big news at all. In particular, the various disasters that occur in the ocean are too frequent and "ordinary", so even if there is a naval war, countries and even maritime countries will have losses, but for the people, they are some very "distant" things.

In order not to make enemies on all sides, the maritime countries will only make a big deal of it if they exterminate those pirates and pirates who have the backing of other countries. In the event of a maritime war with other countries, this hostility will generally not be extended to the population.

Because the ocean is too huge for the entire continent, even if Xin Yu has the confidence to be in the leading position all the time, he does not dare to guarantee that he can dominate the entire ocean like Great Britain in his previous life. And the navy, especially the blue-water navy, is essentially an offensive branch of the army, and if it offends all the coastal countries...... In other words, if the entire maritime country is hostile to other countries, from the people to the high-level, it will inevitably create a fanatical war atmosphere.

This is obviously not in the interests of the maritime country, in addition, the maritime country started from commerce and trade after all, even if the foundation of the industrial and commercial country has gradually shifted to industry-oriented, but exchanges with other countries always need a friendly environment...... Even if it is only in the direction of public opinion, it should not allow the people to become hostile.

After all, the history and development time of the Sea Country is too short, and Xin Yu cannot guarantee that he will be able to control the emotions of the people, which is a force that is enough to destroy the country...... Even if the propaganda departments of maritime countries have some experience in guiding public opinion, it is only relative to other countries.

Therefore, the strength of the maritime country, and the self-perceived strength of the people of the maritime country, actually depends on the strength of finance. Whether it is from the private or national financial point of view, the maritime state can be proud of the entire continent...... Even the Great Liang State, which has developed because of the constitutional monarchy, because there is no "golden finger" like Xin Yu, the speed of development cannot be compared with the corner of the Ocean Country.

Because Xin Yu had focused his energy on the astral realm in the previous stage, and even for several years before, it was inevitable that he would slack off on the development of the Ocean Country. And the whole country that happened before fell into a state of unenterprising, which made Xin Yu rectify it once, and it changed. Especially Xin Yu, the prince with absolute authority, personally took charge of it, and the ocean country still walked out of decadence for a while.

However, ideological work is a work that requires long-term perseverance and unremitting perseverance, and it is not possible to completely eradicate it because Xin Yu, the "tallest, collar, and sleeve," said it once. In the past few years, Xin Yu has devoted his energy to the layout of the astral world and his own cultivation, and has been "neglecting" the development of the "worldly" for a period of time.

Under such circumstances, a trend of self-satisfaction has begun to spread among the maritime countries. It's not that Xin Daqiang, the lord of the country, can't see it, and it's not that Prince Xinkong, who is growing up, doesn't pay attention, it's just that Xin Daqiang is only from the tenant farmer level after all, and although Xin Kong has learned a lot of national strategies that are "advanced" for the world with his eldest brother, he is only a teenager after all, and his horizons are not broad enough...... Xin Daqiang also has such limitations, and even everyone in this world cannot have such a clear development idea as Xin Yu.

After all, Xin Yu's previous life had an extremely rich history in terms of social development, especially in the development of material civilization. Therefore, Xin Yu can have clear development ideas and plans, but Xin Daqiang and Xin Kong, and even the so-called smartest scholars in the world, are only in the stage of "crossing the river by feeling the stones".

As a result, although Xin Daqiang and Xin Kong also felt that something was wrong with the Ocean Country, they could not find out what the problem was. As Xin Yu said, the progress of development is slow, and there is nothing abnormal at all from the environment they can access and the "reports" they see every year or even monthly.

It's not that Xin Daqiang and Xin Kong were "locked up" in the palace and couldn't get in touch with the outside world, but sometimes things in thought can't be seen by inspection and inspection. Because the level of science and technology and the degree of industrialization of the maritime countries are much higher than those of other countries, they do not need to be deceitful in terms of commodity trade and other achievements, and they can give people a sense of satisfaction...... At least judging from the data, the maritime countries still maintain a very strong development capacity.

However, these are not what Xin Yu wants. Although he also knows that the current scientific and technological development of the maritime country has fallen into the bottleneck caused by the lack of a complete scientific system, more and more high-level "intellectuals" and skilled workers are pouring into the society, and the development progress of the maritime country's economy, culture and other aspects is still the same as before, which is very abnormal.

At the very least, just like the state-owned enterprises without external competition in the era of the "planned economy", although they can guarantee sufficient profit points, they are not so enthusiastic in terms of technological innovation and excellence.

No, because Xin Yu felt that in the recent period, in terms of astrological cultivation and preparation for facing the astrological world, he has done the best he can, and there is no other thing he can or need to do. Therefore, after arranging for the astrologists of the Ocean Country to infiltrate the astral world, he shifted his attention to the "worldly" aspect.

It's also to blame Xin Yu himself, although when the Ocean Country was first established, he went to great lengths to sketch out a long-term plan for the country, and even had many detailed plan details. However, for these slow-paced living habits that have been accustomed to for decades, or have lasted for tens of thousands of years, Xin Yu's requirements are like "big leaps".

Moreover, even the wise men of this world are far inferior to the elites who have undergone many years of education in Xin Yu's previous life. The Ocean Country is located in a remote area, and the original cultural atmosphere is not very strong, but after the establishment of the Ocean Country, Xin Yu gritted his teeth and established a public education system, so that there is today's "talent flourishing" situation.

But twelve years, in the previous life, was just enough to graduate from high school. Even if the textbooks compiled by Xin Yu were very concise, it would not be possible to cultivate countless undergraduates in such a short period of time. Moreover, it is precisely because Xin Yu's own knowledge system is incomplete that it has caused these students in the Ocean Country to be "lame" very seriously. In addition, the faculty of the maritime country in the natural sciences was not abundant, so at the beginning, it had to hire more "old-style literati" to teach, at least at the beginning, the development was very slow.

In this way, it is really remarkable that the maritime country has been able to develop to the point where it is today in ten years. Think about it, in the previous life, although Xin Yu's Huaxia was also poor and white at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, after all, it had a lot of scientific and technological workers who had seen the development of science and technology and had a good education.

In that way, it took Huaxia more than ten years, with the help of other countries, to establish a complete industrial system. Moreover, it took more than ten years to develop such a big killer weapon as "two bombs and one satellite". In such a comparison, the Ocean Country has been able to develop to the extent it is now, no matter which aspect it looks at, Xin Yu has no reason to complain.

Think about it, a huge country with a population of hundreds of millions, with a certain education foundation and talent base, still needs to spend so long to achieve the level of a maritime country, think about it, Xin Yu himself is too demanding.

But is this really the case? Xin Yu doesn't think so, although he doesn't require everyone in this world to be as powerful as in his previous life, and from the reality of the situation, at least the nutrition is sufficient, and the IQ of the new generation of the Ocean Country may not be very high, but can the so-called "achievements" made by the Ocean Country really be as advanced as it appears on the surface?

This is not the case. Not to mention the "hydrogen bomb", the big killer weapon of the Ocean Country, it benefits from Xin Yu's guidance in theory, and relies on the "manual" skills of the astrologist in terms of manufacturing. Even generator motors, which don't seem to be as high-tech, aren't built very well...... Although Xin Yu also understands that the leap in science and technology is not an overnight thing most of the time, without enough accumulation, even with his golden finger guidance, it is impossible to develop independently in a down-to-earth manner.

However, Xin Yu felt dissatisfied that the citizens of the Ocean Country were really too easy to satisfy, and it might be an exaggeration to say that they did not want to forge ahead, after all, the power of money also prompted people to go faster and faster on the road of development, but compared to Xin Yu's previous life, because of the fierce competition everywhere, the progress of various industries was very fast, and the development rhythm of the Ocean Country was extremely slow.

And as I said at the beginning, because whether it is compared horizontally with the development level of other countries, or compared with the previous time when the maritime country was still subordinate to the Great Liang State, today's maritime country can be said to be outstanding, even if the people do not lie on the merit book and eat the old book, the current level is enough for them to earn high profits from other countries. In such a situation, there is naturally no incentive for people to research higher technology.

Therefore, although the development of the maritime state does not seem to be slow, and compared with other countries, it is still far ahead and cannot be surpassed. Xin Daqiang and Xingkong naturally couldn't find the drawbacks, but Xin Yu could see at a glance that if this continued, the Ocean Country would inevitably be overtaken by other countries...... This in itself is not a problem, after all, no force can guarantee that it will always be at the top. However, the Ocean Country was overtaken by others because of its stagnation, which made Xin Yu a little worried.

So at this time of spring, Xin Yu made a puzzling decision......
