Chapter 923: Sudden Universe Signal (1)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Changing day by day was a fact that the various countries were unwilling to admit to Great Xia. As more and more cultivators appeared, the Hearing Dao Bureau bloomed everywhere in Great Xia. This also caused Great Xia’s strength to suddenly increase.
The military had established a special force of the new era alone. All the members were cultivators who entered the Dao with martial arts and respected the Dao. Even if the various countries racked their brains to think of ways to limit Great Xia’s development, those tricks were not enough to stop the wheels of Great Xia’s advance. In the end, they all turned into bubbles.
From the fourth ruin on the moon, the various countries had already begun to decline. Back when Su Yun was in seclusion, the resources that Great Xia could obtain in the first and second ruins were less than a fifth of the Atlantean countries.
Everything was the other way around now. The resources that the Great Xia team obtained were many times more than the resources of the Western countries. Once an advantage was formed, in this era, it would quickly pull away.
The fourth ruin became the beginning of the decline of the various countries.
Firstly, the Western countries did not have a rich historical foundation like Great Xia. The high development of genetic technology a few years ago had blinded everyone. The national treasury was deficient and insufficient in resources, so the various countries could only maintain their development by plundering resources on the moon battlefield.
The problem now was that they did not even have the ability to plunder. In the year after the fourth ruin, the two overlord countries, Atlantis and the Ice Bear Nation, had no choice but to tighten their belts to live, let alone the other small vassal countries.
Gradually, in order to maintain the development of large countries, small countries naturally became the target of demand. Originally, these small countries were trying to survive in the cracks. Now that they were being sucked dry by the big countries, they naturally lamented.
In the past month, there had been no less than ten protests by the people in various small countries. At the worst, they even had to mobilize troops to suppress it. The leader of the small country knew that if this continued, the country would only decline more and more. Therefore, he asked the vassal countries to reduce the resources and tribute.
However, to the Atlanteans, they did not care if a small country lived or died, so this proposal was naturally rejected. The resources available to countries were decreasing, and some planned developments had to be nipped in the bud before they could begin.
On the other hand, Great Xia was prospering day by day.
Great Xia had used the resources they had brought back from the moon ruins to develop machinery and artificial intelligence. The current Great Xia had completely entered the era of automated intelligence.
This gave the people of Great Xia more time to cultivate. The increase in their cultivation realm also meant that the overall strength of Great Xia had increased. Once the form of a trade-off was formed, it would not be so easy to shorten the distance between them.
From the beginning, Great Xia had rejected the development of genetic technology. This was even mocked by various countries, feeling that Great Xia would soon be drowned in the wheels of history.
In fact, it was only now that it showed how correct Great Xia’s decision was. Every country was developing genetic technology, so the resources needed were naturally the same. Once it was discovered, it would be fought over by many parties. In front of resources, the so-called alliance was worthless.
Big countries could indeed develop rapidly at the beginning. Small countries could not obtain resources and could not develop independently, so they naturally had to choose to rely on others.
It was also because of this that the three countries in the current international situation were formed. However, as another year passed, such a world structure had long disappeared.
The potential crisis of genetic technology finally erupted. The western countries, who were greedy and hoped to reach the top of the world through genetic technology, began to suffer the consequences of their own actions.
The current genetic technology had already been innovated to the eighth generation. Due to the lack of technology and resources, they could not break through to the ninth generation for a long time.
Before this problem could be resolved, a new problem appeared.
Due to the fundamental changes in human genes caused by genetic technology, scientists today could no longer investigate the gene sequence in the current geneticists. The genes began to mutate to a certain extent. This mutation was especially obvious in newborns. Deformities, mutilations and stillbirths occur from time to time, resulting in a marked decline in fertility in these Western countries.
Even though the current eighth-generation genetic technology could already extend people’s lifespan by hundreds of years, the development of a country could not only be determined in these few hundred years.
If the problem was not resolved, hundreds of years later, without the use of powerful enemies, this country would collapse and dissipate. Only at this moment did the various countries finally understand Great Xia’s forward-looking wisdom.
Because they knew that they could not control the influence of genetic technology on their descendants, they simply gave up.
Even though they had been suppressed by other countries for a few years, they were still unwilling to use genetic technology. Instead, they took another path and embarked on the mechanical path.
The development of genetic technology was indeed very fast. The strength of the country also increased in a short period of time.
However, the competition between countries has always been a long game. Clearly, Great Xia had won a few years ago. Many citizens who had been injected with genetic medicine wanted to eliminate genetic technology after realizing the hidden dangers.
However, the Western countries were already in a difficult position. If they lost their genetic technology now, they would completely have no place internationally.
