Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

"Actually, many middle and low-level transcendents also have opinions on high-level transcendents."

Ye Xiaoxing said to Meng Chao, "You should know that most of the god-level powerhouses in Dragon City belong to 'strategic weapons', except for crucial battles like the northern offensive, they usually live in seclusion and don't take part in actual combat, right?

"I can say responsibly that these god-level powerhouses are not idle, but under the Transcendent Tower, they are conducting various cutting-edge explorations on the ancient ruins. The danger and importance are no less than any In the war, many god-level powerhouses have made great sacrifices and reaped a lot of results.

"Now we can construct so many spiritual magnetic force fields, understand the meaning of more and more runes, connect countless runes into different commands, activate ever-changing magical powers, and give birth to all kinds of incredible 'black technologies', It's all thanks to the exploration of the ancient ruins by the strong in the divine realm.

"But exploration and experimentation will definitely fail.

"Throwing down an astronomical amount of resources, the project still fails, such a possibility must exist.

"Moreover, many projects focus on the future, and the benefits will not be seen until 20 to 30 years or even longer.

"In the eyes of many mid- and low-level transcendents, they feel that the god-level powerhouses are wasting resources. If the resources they invest in projects that are doomed to fail are used on the majority of mid- and low-level transcendents, maybe, It will be able to cultivate more powerful people and achieve greater victories on the battlefield.

"There is even an absurd saying that after monopolizing a large number of precious resources, the strong in the divine realm hide in the bottom of the Transcendent Tower to practice in seclusion. environment——only in this way can they control the hegemony of Dragon City forever.

"Of course this is a shameless rumour.

"However, new rifts have been created among some middle and low-level transcendents and god-level powerhouses.

"Especially between mid- and low-level transcendents from small and medium-sized enterprises and emerging industries, and god-level powerhouses from the nine super companies that monopolize traditional industries. There is not only competition in the business field, but also a strong desire for rare resources. The cake is only this big, no matter how it is divided, some people will not be satisfied."

Meng Chao nodded.

There are tens of thousands of problems in Dragon City, but in the final analysis, there is only one problem, the cake is not big enough.

When there are more wolves and less meat, no matter how you teach the wolves to be upright, united, friendly, and united, it is useless.

Going out to hunt, it is only serious to bring back a few more fat sheep.

The problem is, these "fat sheep" from other worlds are really not easy to pick up...

Ye Xiaoxing sighed, and talked about the Red Dragon Army again.

The Red Dragon Army itself is fine.

The problem is no money.

Dragon City is a lone army in a foreign land, and the whole people are martial, and the army scale is far beyond that of the most militaristic country in the earth era.

In order to stimulate soldiers and the public to fight against the monsters, no matter active soldiers or veterans, they and their families can enjoy various benefits and privileges.

The allowances for disabled soldiers and the pensions for sacrificed soldiers are even more astronomical.

Ordinary people can also get rewards for killing monsters, calculate military exploits, and enjoy various benefits.

For example, Meng Chao killed the Blood Moon Wolf King in the actual combat test of the college entrance examination, and he was awarded medals jointly issued by the military, the Chaofan Tower and the Survival Committee, and the three major institutions. With these medals, he can apply for housing in advance and purchase training resources at preferential prices , Under the same conditions, priority is given to admission to the military and relevant departments, and so on.

For him personally, of course it is very cool, and the next time he encounters a monster, he will be more motivated to fight bravely.

But for the Red Dragon Army, the pensions for the disabled and sacrificed soldiers, and the resources required for various rewards, have increasingly become a heavy burden.

"The key problem is that the Red Dragon Army has set the reward standard too high from the very beginning."

Ye Xiaoxing said, "But it can't be helped. The Red Dragon Army was born in the era when blood and flames were intertwined and Dragon City was the most critical. At that time, we hadn't mastered advanced black technology and cultivation methods. Fighting with monsters was often a Nine deaths, if you don't set a high reward, how can you be worthy of the heroic spirits who sacrificed the soldiers?

"Furthermore, at that time, most of Dragon City fell under the minions of monsters, and the restored areas were often turned into ruins, which were supposed to be demolished and rebuilt, and distributed to the general public.

"As long as a certain area is recovered, various types of housing will be built immediately, and distributed to meritorious soldiers and their families, and the meritorious service system of Dragon City will be able to maintain a virtuous circle, allowing the Red Dragon Army to continue to develop.

"But it's not like it used to be.

"Today, the main urban area of ​​Dragon City has been completely restored, and our construction has advanced all the way to the edge of the fog. The various forces have raced to enclose the land, and have long built the entire Dragon City so that it is airtight and water cannot enter.

"After 20 years of baby boom and population explosion, the city's population is several times larger than at the peak of the earth age.

"We really don't have a place where we can provide more rewards for meritorious officials.

"In the past few decades, the number of soldiers who have made meritorious service, disabled and sacrificed has increased, reaching millions. Just the allowances, benefits and pensions for them have consumed more than half of the military expenditure of the Red Dragon Army. The Red Dragon Army has no extra budget at all to update equipment, research and develop technology, and upgrade the combat effectiveness of the strong military.

"The Red Dragon Army has always been worried about their inability to control the peak combat power of Dragon City, hoping to play a greater role in the war.

"This is also normal. Throughout the ages, no army can tolerate it. I am not the strongest armed group in the country.

"But to increase combat effectiveness, resources are needed.

"If you want resources, you have to keep attacking and take the initiative to challenge the monsters.

"The Red Dragon Army is not afraid of war, but every time they attack, there will always be sacrifices, and the pension after the sacrifice can only be increased, not reduced.

"As a result, the budget problem of the Red Dragon Army has become even worse.

"All in all, the Red Dragon Army is like a dinosaur over 500 meters in size. It can't be said that it has no combat effectiveness, but it is extremely easy to be crushed by its own weight while opening its teeth and claws. Most of the time, it can only drag the bloated body, lying helplessly on the ground."

Meng Chao nodded thoughtfully.

Countries that build their countries on military exploits will all encounter this problem.

In the development stage, of course, it can stimulate the strongest combat effectiveness of the whole people and win one war after another.

But once the development reaches the limit, no resources can be found to reward military exploits, and the war machine will easily collapse in an instant.

In the Earth Era, Qin destroyed the six kingdoms, swept away thousands of troops, how domineering.

In the blink of an eye, the second generation died, although there were many reasons, and it was not unrelated to the fact that his military merit system could not be maintained.

In Meng Chao's memory fragments of his previous life, after Longcheng stepped out of the monster mountain range, there was a period of good times, which shocked the entire world under the name of "Alien Calamity".

But the doomsday still comes to everyone after all, but I don't know if it has something to do with the abnormal expansion of the military merit system?

"Many grassroots officers of the Red Dragon Army are very dissatisfied with the Survival Committee and strongly demand to increase investment in the Red Dragon Army in the annual budget to achieve a comprehensive update and upgrade of the Red Dragon Army."

Ye Xiaoxing smiled wryly and said, "The problem is, the Survival Committee is already stretched thin, and is on the brink of financial collapse every year, so how can it afford money?

"Actually, for the Red Dragon Army, the best solution is to disarm and trade quantity for quality.

"But no one dares to bring up disarmament—aside from other issues, let's say that millions of young and middle-aged soldiers who know nothing but killing skills will come out, and there will be an extreme shortage of jobs, and young people under the age of 30 will be unemployed. No one knows what consequences will be caused by the high rate of death in Dragon City.

"In the final analysis, in a world where extraordinary people can ascend to the sky and enter the earth, how should the ordinary human army maintain its existence, function and dignity? This is really a big problem that no earth army has ever encountered!"

Ye Xiaoxing told Meng Chao that in addition to the above problems, Dragon City also faced various conflicts.

For example, the contradiction between the "colonists" and the "returners", one side believes that all resources should be invested in external expansion, and continue to launch colonization wars until the entire foreign world is conquered.

On the other hand, the other party believes that capturing a planet with a city is a whimsical and impossible task. The expansion of Dragon City should be limited to the area around the Monster Mountain Range, and a small part of the resources should be used for defense. It is used to research and develop controllable traversal technology, open up the channel between the alien world and the earth, relying on the earth, with the support of 10 billion people and massive resources, it is possible to talk about conquering the entire alien world.

There is also the contradiction between the "biochemical modulation school" and the "rune mechanical school", the contradiction between "extreme flow" and "super-killing flow", the contradiction between the four major combat professions, and even the " The contradictions among "Ripple Strength", "Mang Niu Strength" and "Dragon Snake Strength" are all technical differences, needless to say.

In short, today's Dragon City seems to have reached its peak in the past half century. It is full of flowers and thriving. However, under the bright and beautiful appearance, internal and external troubles still exist, and the journey ahead still needs to be trembling, walking on thin ice.

"Student Meng Chao, after hearing so many complaints from me, are you a little disappointed in Dragon City?" Ye Xiaoxing asked.

Meng Chao shook his head.

If you are a college student in an ordinary ivory tower, when you first hear that there are so many problems and contradictions in Dragon City, you may feel that your three views have collapsed.

But Meng Chao was the one who knew the end was coming.

Since the Dragon City in the previous life was destined to be destroyed, apart from the powerful external enemies, there must be various internal problems.

Don't be afraid of problems, there are always more solutions than difficulties.

"Group leader Ye, what you said, I usually hear netizens mention it in dark web forums. It is normal to have conflicts. Tens of millions of people are crowded in a small city, unless they are all dead. Maybe there is no contradiction at all?"

Meng Chao said, "However, what do these contradictions you mentioned have anything to do with the work of the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau, the matter of Bai Youling and Gao Ye?"
