Chapter 199 Establishing Relations with City-States



It is magnificent and vast; it is no exaggeration to call it a miracle.

Qin Che, however, was tired of seeing it and felt no emotion whatsoever.

This massive ring bridge is indeed a marvel, but the technology is not ancient, after all, the other side possesses antimatter energy.

This thing can be built even in the desert, but Qin Che is a complete pragmatist and doesn't know anything about architectural art.

Later, I heard from Yuan Lingyi that...

The ring bridge was originally a project of the World Chamber of Commerce.

After the catastrophe, large areas of the coastal region, along with the entire southern continent, were submerged by seawater.

The survivors migrated northward, driven by the sea, and eventually settled here.

The half-submerged city clusters beneath the ring bridge are the ruins of the old world.

Later, as the population of the South China Sea increased, the South China Sea Fleet was gradually formed, receiving quiet support from the World Chamber of Commerce.

They built ring bridges over these city clusters.

Using those tall buildings as bridge pillars and foundations, advanced engineering technology was used to reinforce them time and time again.

Yuan Lingyi speaks like a tour guide.

After all that talk, not a single thing about the antimatter energy group was revealed.

Qin Che didn't ask any further questions.

He knew it in his heart, anyway.

...

As night fell,

The view of the ring bridge from the VIP hotel is breathtaking.

At night, the ring bridge shines brightly like a halo.

Safanyin walked over gently, placed her jade hand on Qin Che's shoulder and said, "I never imagined that after crossing mountains and traversing those barbaric regions, I would find such a beautiful city at the end. I also want to move here to live; it's so much more beautiful than the desert."

Qin Che gently pinched the bridge of her nose: "This isn't our home. It's fine to come here for a trip once in a while, but do you want to settle down here?"

Safanyin giggled, rested her head on Qin Che's shoulder, and began to gently roam over her man's body.

"Thank you for giving me such an unforgettable trip."

Qin Che hugged her and kissed her forehead: "How should I thank you?"

Safan pressed her delicate body against him, her face flushed, and said, "Let's talk about it in bed."

Qin Che picked her up and carried her back into the house.

...

In the following days, Qin Che completed his work in the South China Sea.

As a leader, he can't keep things hidden forever; he needs to come here to meet with the top leaders in the South China Sea and make friends.

Qin Che also got to know many politicians in the South China Sea.

These guys are rather mild-mannered.

Especially after winning the war, they had no worries about the future.

The people of the South China Sea are mostly content with leisure and tend to be rather lazy.

Compared to the people of the desert, they lack the desert people's perseverance and never-give-up spirit, as well as their experience of desperately scavenging for food in resource-scarce areas in order to survive.

The word "softie" is more suitable to describe them.

Fun-loving people in the wasteland.

Meanwhile, Qin Che also embarked on his journey home.

This time, instead of taking his time to return, he took the helicopter that came to pick him up and leisurely returned to Leopard Court in just three or four days.

The country still has a lot to do.

Qin Che held meeting after meeting and issued one directive after another.

He wanted to streamline administrative units and personnel, while expanding industrial production to maximize the use of desert minerals, arable land, food, and human resources.

After they defeated the raiders,

The institution of slavery and the industrial chain it created reached a certain peak.

Qin Che couldn't help but abandon his idea of ​​abolishing slavery.

Given the current development trend and scale, it is completely impossible to eliminate it.

It would take decades or even centuries to complete.

So we had no choice but to give up.

But then again,

Slaves are really useful.

This would allow him to expand production and construction at the fastest possible speed.

...

Time flies.

Three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Qin Che went through three simulations in the past three years: 2013, 2014, and 2015.

Perhaps because there were no enemies left and relations with the South China Sea had entered a honeymoon period, Qin Che didn't have much to do even in the simulator, so he could only bury himself in cultivation and travel around.

Three simulations,

Qin Che experienced natural death and lived to be at least three or four hundred years old.

He went to the north and the south, and also to the eastern edge of the desert.

I saw many ruins and encountered many adventurers from the wasteland.

I have seen the footprints of many civilizations and the wastelanders who survive in extreme environments.

There are human settlements in the desert, the Garden of God, and around the South China Sea.

But the cultures and languages ​​of these settlements were similar to theirs, though they varied in size; some were villages, some were tribes, and some were nomadic. When the raiders were still around, they dared not approach the Garden of the Gods.

Now that the desert people have opened up this area, it has accelerated human communication and trade, and spurred the gradual prosperity of some settlements in the surrounding areas.

Qin Che still remembers,

In the simulator, on all three occasions, in his later years, he saw the 'Sage's' aircraft at the edge of the coast.

That was not the kind of technology and civilization he recognized.

At least their aircraft don't need wings and propellers; it's very high-end technology.

The sages were tall and slender, with appearances similar to humans, but with fair skin, and each one was as handsome as an angel.

At first, Qin Che suspected they were aliens.

But later conversations revealed that this was not the case.

In one simulation, Qin Che eventually left with the sages and disappeared at the horizon.

However, the sages did not extend an invitation to Qin Che during these three simulations.

It seems that there's a chance of triggering the desire to leave with the sages.

The most regrettable thing is that Qin Che has been trying to make himself stronger in the simulator, but after three simulations and hundreds of years of life, he still has not been able to surpass the current stage and become the third stage 'Master'.

then,

In the simulator, during the last two simulations, Qin Che turned his attention to Zhongzhou.

He began to focus on the true nature of the Mechanicus and the Iron Beast Kingdom, their initial motivations for starting the war, and the root of their conflict.

Qin Che discovered something...
