As mentioned before, although Future Star's technology is not as advanced as that of the peaceful Blue Star, it is not far behind.
However, compared to the future planet where wars break out every now and then, the consumption and income concepts of Earth are indeed more similar to those in "Normal Future". In other words, the more capital intervenes in a world, the more technology will tend to develop in the direction of eating, drinking and having fun.
After all, these are the things that make money. Talk about protecting the country and defending the homeland is too far removed from one's own life, so who would care?
On Earth, people often say they "don't care about the rise of great powers, they only want the dignity of small nations," but that's a complete joke on Future Planet. What a joke! What dignity do small nations have? Being annexed by a great power and becoming part of it is already the best outcome.
Even worse, they would be cut off from water and electricity by the enemy, and eventually be surrounded and annihilated like prey.
In the future, Cheng Zhu often heard that the wars in neighboring countries were never-ending, and the flames of war could not be extinguished. This kept the Kyushu Kingdom on guard, and there were occasional small skirmishes on the front lines.
Previously, Cheng Zhu never thought about how to end the wars between countries, but now, because of the strange rules that have descended upon Future Star, all the countries have shaken hands and made peace.
In fact, as early as when the Legend of the Rules first demonstrated its ability to destroy a country, Cheng Zhu clearly realized that the war was about to end and the future would be a world of peace and mutual assistance—the reason being the source of the future interstellar war: the struggle for land and resources and the population explosion.
The destruction of nations in the game of "Strange Tales of Rules" will lead to a decrease in the population of future stars, but it will also further reduce resources.
If the unspeakable future star eventually departs, then the wars caused by the population explosion will no longer be necessary. After dividing up the territory, countries will enter a period of rest and recuperation.
If in the end the Unspeakable Ones will not leave Future Star, but Future Star collapses first... by then she herself will be dead and reduced to ashes, so there's no need to think about so much.
By replacing his math book with a history book about Wisdom City through "easy reading," Cheng Zhu read the stories of this other world with great interest, pondering whether there were any lessons he could learn from it. This world had also once had Chosen Ones, but why did it become an alternate world? And how did they manage to leave the planet of Wisdom, a fact that remains unspoken?
As Cheng Zhu flipped through the pages of this wondrous knowledge medium—which was clearly tactile yet a projection of books—he tried to learn from history.
As he flipped through the pages, Chengzhu ended up in that country.
Kobiet.
Because there is very little information about Kobet on the public network of Smart City, Cheng Zhu still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that Kobet was actually just a reskinned version of Kyushu, with the same origin and common usage.
However, upon turning to the next page and looking at the numerous names of people from the Kobetan nation, Cheng Zhu sighed.
"What's wrong, Christine?"
Just then, Ya popped up and peeked in next to Cheng Zhu, saying, "Are you reading a history book? Christine really loves the Kingdom of Kobet!"
"No, I'm just... a little disappointed."
Looking at the names of "So-and-so-ski" and "So-and-so-father" in the celebrity profiles, and the high-bridged noses of the clearly Caucasian people in the book, Cheng Zhu finally gave up on Kobiet.
The Kobet of this world corresponds to Lucia of the future planet.
Its counterpart on Earth is the Russian Bear Country.
This is a world without the Kingdom of Kyushu, so there are no chopsticks, no ink paintings, and no many things full of the unique culture of the Kingdom of Kyushu.
It doesn't feel like home.
The history books of the City of Wisdom naturally held Kobet in utter contempt, calling him a blood-red bear, a ghost haunting the world, and a demon of dictatorship and control.
All of this was automatically translated into Cheng Zhu's view as "Kobet wanted to implement a planned economy, but without the allied nation of Kyushu in the parallel world, he was ultimately unable to resist everything in the Smart City, so he was constantly suppressed and infiltrated into the Smart City in small parts."
This historical development is surprisingly reasonable.
No matter how strong Kobie was, he couldn't carry the team alone, and there was nothing he could do about losing in the end.
After all, history is never shaped by one person alone, but by millions of people. With such a huge gap between the two worlds, it's no wonder that Kobiet ended up like this, with all the blame being placed on artificial intelligence.
That's probably how the code was written.
After regretfully finishing the history book that recounted the past of Weisi Star, Cheng Zhu once again summoned the "Easy Reading" software and replaced it with another book about the principles of aircraft manufacturing.
Whether she understands it or not, scientists from various countries in the live stream can see it anyway.
As for what they might discover through research... that's beyond her control. Cheng Zhu mustered her courage and turned to the first page of the new book.
It wasn't turned over.
A crystal-clear lock appeared above the book, with floating subtitles beside it: [To read "Analysis of the Manufacturing Principles of Magnetic Levitation Vehicles," 9998 Universal Points are required. Do you wish to unlock it?] [Yes] [No]
Cheng Zhu suddenly recalled the fear of being dominated by Asia Advertising's sales pitches.
She almost forgot that the core of this world is that money can buy anything, and from another perspective, without money, you can't get anywhere.
Perhaps because there were so many free items in the Slote High School dormitory, and the two books he initially read were also more basic common sense and could be read by students for free, Cheng Zhu naturally assumed that all the books in the school library could be borrowed by students free of charge.
Who knew that after reading only the third book, which involved professional manufacturing knowledge, Cheng Zhu directly encountered a book worth nearly 10,000 general points.
