Chapter 351 Part 1 of the truth

"Um, where is this?"

"You're asking me? Didn't you set the destination for the transmission?"

"That's right, but the location I set for teleportation was the rooftop of the building you were in the abandoned city, but this is clearly a plain."

"Is there some parameter that is adjusted incorrectly? Like the coordinates?"

"No way, let me see."

Gloria, who had set the destination, was a little confused when she saw the unfamiliar scenery in front of her. This was not the coordinate location she had set. Using the contractor's equipment to check the current location of the two, Gloria found that there was indeed a problem with the coordinates.

"I think I know what happened. The contractor's algorithm is different from ours, but because the contractor's equipment will translate their text into ours, the coordinate values ​​are not filled in incorrectly, but in fact they are still determined according to the contractor's algorithm. That's why we were teleported to other places. Fortunately, we are still on Earth."

"Wait a minute, given their level of technology, we won't be teleported to another time, right?"

"No, it's interesting to say that the contractors believe that time travel is impossible. After all, their understanding of time is completely different from ours."

"Well, as long as there's nothing wrong, let's see where we are so we can find a way to get back first."

"Based on the scans taken by the contractor's equipment, this should be somewhere in Australia."

"Australia?"

"Yes, our coordinates are right in the no-man's land, so there is no one in a large area around here. The people in this place are really strange."

"Strange? What's strange? Are you talking about the number of poisonous creatures here? It doesn't matter. They pose no threat to the two of us."

"No, I mean the utilization rate of the geography. Such a large plain, but the population is so small. After all these years, haven't they thought of developing it? Although the area we are in is a bit dry, we can build some large-scale water conservancy equipment."

"It's obvious that you don't care much about people's livelihood abroad."

Gloria was puzzled by Han Zu's seemingly irrelevant answer.

"Is there any connection between the two?"

"Yes, and it's very large. Although Australia is geographically large, their actual population is very small, only tens of millions, so most of them live in coastal areas. For them, managing and developing these uninhabited areas is a thankless task, so for decades, the uninhabited areas are still uninhabited. However, other places inland have gained some residents, but the areas of those settlements are not large, and there are not many people. It's about the size of a village."

"Then they can establish cooperative level 4 trade with other countries. In this way, wouldn't they be able to develop these places?"

"They don't dare."

"what?"

"Due to its unique geographical environment, Australia is actually difficult to be affected by large-scale wars. Because their country itself has little national strength, almost no one will bother to attack this place. After all, when the three kingdoms were in a tripartite confrontation, the Dragon, Eagle and Bear Kingdoms actually regarded this place as a backup plan after the third war."

“You mean the ‘forced’ immigration program?”

"Is that what the group of white eagles are called? Although the Russians and our plan are not called this name, the actual content, or at least the general direction, should be similar."

"But I remember Australia was always pro-hawkish until 20 years ago when there was a hint of civil war on the hawk side, right?"

"That's true on the surface, but 85% or more of the construction here was made with assistance from our Dragon Country. So although Australia is pro-hawkish on the surface, they often pretended to obey when the Eagle Sauce wanted to use them to deal with Dragon Country. Of course, even if they really did that, we are not afraid. In fact, there is no extra connection with them, only the Russians, but the Australians are not stupid. Just because there is no connection on the surface, it does not mean that there is no connection."

"Plus, Dragon people can be seen everywhere, especially in Sydney. If you add a little conspiracy theory... then Australia is actually Dragon Country..."

"Although this is indeed the case, the Dragon government did not intervene actively. Although it took time and effort for the Australians to get used to it, they were eventually tamed by us. Especially in the current situation, it is not a conspiracy theory that Australia is actually under the control of the Dragon country. To some extent, this is a fact."

As a foreigner who is not very interested in politics, Gloria was quite shocked by the operation that Longguo had used for decades. Although it sounded a bit like conspiracy, she thought again that if she were an Australian, she would definitely be more likely to like Longguo, who was like a kind neighbor who always helped her, rather than the Eagle Sauce who was bossy and regarded herself as a master. She remembered a saying in the ancient book of Longguo's military strategy. The best strategy is to attack the enemy's strategy.

Although she was not interested in politics, Gloria, who was quick-witted, soon thought of one thing that she could associate with this information. It seemed that there was no connection, but in fact there was.

That is Han Zu’s attitude towards Unlimited Company.

"I remember that your Dragon Country doesn't allow the emergence of oligarchic companies in the country, right? Then why can unlimited companies become so big that their influence has overshadowed your Dragon Country? Your government doesn't..."

Gloria saw Han Zu's half-smile.

"I understand why you feel this way about Infinity."

"You mean...?"

"The existence of the Unlimited Company is actually caused by your Dragon Country..."

"It's okay if you understand it, it's not good to say it out loud."

When Han Zu stopped her from speaking, Gloria was sure that her idea was correct.

Even though Han Zu had experienced many assassinations by the Unlimited Company, his attitude towards the Unlimited Company was always to compete with it instead of replacing it. This was very unreasonable considering Han Zu's eye-for-an-eye character. After all, Han Zu now had the ability to overturn the table, but he still chose to cooperate with the Unlimited Company, even if it was just superficial.

Although Han Zu said that he hated trouble and didn't like being a manager, it didn't mean he couldn't, but he didn't want to. Judging from his conversation and ruthless methods, it was completely enough to run a company. Even for an industry giant like Unlimited Company, he could use dozens of executives to manage it. But even so, Han Zu said that he couldn't manage it and didn't want to manage it, which could only mean one thing, that Unlimited Company was not actually a "company" with a normal structure.

Based on the conversation just now, Gloria can be sure that the actual controller of Unlimited Company is not the chairman or the board of directors, but the Dragon Country government itself. They have gone to great lengths to create such a huge deception, and there must be some extremely important purpose for them to do so.

"So even though the board of directors and the chairman don't get along at all, they rarely try to assassinate him. Is it because the chairman is actually an official?!"

"I don't know about the previous chairmen, but the current chairman is definitely one. He has many subconscious little movements that only soldiers have. However, there is no introduction to military life in the chairman's resume. You have to know that in Longguo, it is a very proud thing to have served in the army."

"Then why go to so much trouble to set up an unlimited company? Wouldn't it be better to use these financial resources and time to manage the country normally? After all, your Dragon Country has been the best country in practice for many years, and many people are scrambling to become Dragon citizens. Are you going to do something big to shock the whole human race?"

"almost."

"Can you tell me about it?"

"Okay, it's a good time to take a break."

Han Zu lazily lay on the hot ground burned by the sun. This little bit of heat was comfortable for him. After finding a comfortable position, Han Zu began to tell Gloria what she wanted to know, the real purpose of the establishment of the unlimited company.

"I think you have almost understood that humans can now build spaceships, right?"

"Well, it's not a secret. Many countries now have this technology, but it's expensive. For them, it's useless, so in fact only the three countries of Dragon, Eagle and Bear have the extra financial and material resources to mass-produce these things."

"Don't you find it strange? So far, there are only immigrants on the moon, and they are a mixture of three countries, and a few super-rich people. According to the current speed of technological development, we should be able to carry out a certain degree of interstellar travel, at least to Mars."

"Isn't it said that there is no way to solve the engine energy problem of large spacecraft? That's why we haven't built large spacecraft that can accommodate more people."

"No, this technology has not only been realized a long time ago, but it can also be mass-produced. Even the most difficult engines can be mass-produced. So making a suitable shell shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Can't you?!"

"You've seen this kind of engine before. Remember the special energy reactor I used when I was testing my flying ability? That's the cheap version of that engine. In fact, if you connect fifteen of those reactors together, you can form a real engine."

"In that case, why not just build a spaceship that can travel a certain distance? Since you said it's not a technical problem, then what is it? What does this have to do with Infinite Company?"

“It’s a political issue.”

"Political question... Are you saying that whoever brings this technology to the table will be...? This... This is impossible, right?"

"Yes, remember the news that a Russian physicist suddenly died of cardiac arrest? This matter was very popular at the time."

"You mean? Eagle Sauce sent someone to kill him?"

"Although there is no direct evidence to prove it, judging from the fact that the Russians kept the cause of his death a secret, he definitely did not die of natural causes. As for cardiac arrest, this is the most reasonable way to explain his death. But later someone on the dark web found out that the physicist was involved in the design and manufacture of an engine."

"But why do this? Isn't this a good thing that will benefit all mankind?"

"For politicians, this means something completely different. Everyone is playing a conventional war on the ground, but you are preparing to play Star Wars. Who else should we fight? Not only that, the rocket launches of the Eagle Sauce always have accidents, and the data network of the Dragon Kingdom is always attacked because of this kind of thing. So if you want to research long-distance spacecraft in the name of the country, it is completely impossible unless the three countries fight one, destroy two, and the remaining one becomes the boss."

"But if a war breaks out, no matter which side is left, the remaining civilization will not be enough to conduct research again. It will take at least hundreds of times longer than before. It won't work in the name of the country, but it will be fine for commercial use? So this is why unlimited companies came into being?!"

"Yes, and in order to avoid gossip, when Unlimited was first established, it was actually a joint multinational company. It is true that the chairman at that time was a Dragon, but you can see that the lineup of the board of directors, apart from the Dragon, is either Eagle or Russian."

"That's why there are many foreigners in the top management of Infinite Company... Wait, isn't this actually equivalent to a second alliance..."

"That's right. We don't need the remaining two pieces of trash holding us back."

"In fact, even if it weren't for this, the two countries would be in trouble. After years of tug-of-war, the Dragon Eagle Bear has grown bigger and bigger. The two of them have been torn apart. Have they never thought that they are being played for fools?"

"It's useless to know. They have no right to resist."

"Wait a minute, according to what you said, then the struggle between the chairman and the board of directors within Infinite Company is actually...?"

"Yes, even though the Eagle Sauce is currently in a civil war, in fact, the Eagle Sauce's control has long been out of their own hands. So even if all their native people die, as long as their materials and technology are still there, they will always have influence."

"So the Feidenan family is the one who actually controls Eagle Sauce?"

"Yes, so in order to prevent things from getting out of control, they must be eradicated, I mean physically. At first I thought the threat was the board of directors, but since you showed up and told me more about the Ferdinand family, I changed my strategy."

"It looks like we have finally come together. From my experience with you, you might be more extreme. I'm curious why you didn't use something like the gene bomb. Although it's forbidden to study, it must exist, right?"

"You are right, but gene bombs are very unstable because they only work on human genes. But among the large human population, there are always many people with genetic defects, and these people are immune to the attacks of gene bombs. For example, if I want to use gene bombs to kill all people with the genes of the Ferdinand family, then if there is a person with a genetic defect among them, he will not be affected at all. As long as there is a person who can think normally and survives, then he will know what will happen if only his family members die. Once this news is made public, the original idea of ​​using the secrecy of gene bombs will be ruined."

"I don't think Dragon Eagle Bear cares about public pressure."

"Yes, that's just one of the reasons. Think about it carefully. Even you and I, after simple training, can do some basic genetic programming in a specific way. Do you think those big guys can't do it? They have already changed their genes. So unless there is a more advanced discovery, the gene bomb can only kill ordinary people, not the ruling class."

"So the abilities gained in the Infinite City, which can be brought back to reality, are actually due to the players undergoing genetic modification surgery?!"

"Yes, otherwise why do you think Infinite Company would recycle the bodies of players in Infinite City after they died?"

"Improving gene modification technology based on the cause of death, it turns out that everyone is a guinea pig. Ugh!"

Gloria felt a little nauseous at the reality of the situation and made some uncomfortable noises.

"So where did you know these secrets?"

"Of course, it's inside Infinity."

"But this information is highly encrypted, right?"

"After all, the Infinite Company is indeed facing a big problem right now, and the three governments are gradually losing control of the company. In fact, it is hard to say, in the end, maybe the Infinite Company will really defeat the Three Kingdoms Alliance and truly become the master of the Earth."

"I remembered some movies and TV shows I've seen. It's definitely not a good thing for a huge company to control all of humanity."

"Of course, that's why I'm looking for ways to strengthen myself. My ambitions are not big. As long as I don't become one of those zombies or puppets in the future, that's enough."

"So you created an army to...?"

"If I don't make good progress, or if someone wants to put me on the chessboard as a chess piece in the future, I will flip up the chessboard and the chess table together, and then smash the heads of the three people playing chess into my chest. My own strength is growing day by day, and I have also found like-minded people."

Gloria nodded. Overturning the table was indeed very exciting.

"I think you actually have an absolute ally that you may develop into a team with. After all, in theory, we are also one of them now."

"contractor."

"contractor."

The two of them said the contractor's name in unison and smiled at each other.

"Okay, let's stop here for now. Let's go. We still have two coordinates to go to."

"So you're going to run to where there are people?"

"I would like to fly, but I can't fly far, so I'll just take a walk."

"alright."
