This is easier said than done. The players' solution was to fight fire with fire.
Don't the Indian people believe in gods? Well then, let's start this crazy deconstruction of gods. Let's fill the newspapers, media, and radio stations of New India with all sorts of jokes about gods.
That's right, it's similar to the Soviet jokes that the US made about the Soviet Union back then. The only difference is that the US's Soviet jokes were a reflection of reality, while the jokes created by the players are meant to dispel feudal superstitions.
Initially, these jokes were so shocking to the Indian people that they dared not listen. Curiosity and a thirst for the unusual exist in any society. Some people would inevitably listen secretly, seeking that unique thrill. Once others discovered that this behavior went unpunished, they too would subconsciously begin to do the same.
Their motivations may be varied, but they all have the same result: the status of gods in the hearts of the Indian people has gradually become more concrete, no longer so lofty, and even quite approachable.
Of course, it is obviously impossible to deconstruct the beliefs that have existed on this land for thousands of years with just a few jokes. The transformation of beliefs can only be gradually completed through the transformation of the thinking of generation after generation. Only when young people who have accepted new ideas completely replace the old people of the old era and complete the iteration in the age structure of the population can the ideological reform usher in the final victory.
This process must be carried out slowly, like boiling a frog in lukewarm water. Haste makes waste.
To this end, the players held a special internal meeting to discuss the ideological education work in the new India.
“The minds of the elderly are already rigid. Forcing them to change now would kill people, which is not in line with our development policy of maintaining stability.”
"The previous anti-rightist campaign has thoroughly cleaned up the vested interests of the old era. The chains of the old era will not stop us from moving towards the new era. Those elderly people do not hold real power and pose almost no threat to us. Therefore, we should adhere to the ideological education policy of stable development, slow iteration, and gradual advancement."
"How is the construction of our new schools going?"
"It went very smoothly; our infrastructure capabilities are unmatched."
"Hardware is not a problem for us; the key is the children's enrollment rate."
At this point, the players present all started to have a headache.
Just like the problems we encountered when we were working on literacy campaigns, many families in India believe that girls should not go to school.
Even in some remote areas, it's not just girls, boys are the same.
Don't assume that the old-fashioned ideas only restricted women; men and women in the lower classes were no different.
In the agrarian era, those who possessed a certain degree of freedom were all upper-class individuals.
In India, these people would be called Brahmins or Kshatriyas. Educational resources, especially high-quality educational resources, are extremely valuable even in modern society.
Many people believe that the most ignorant and disadvantaged are those who refuse to go to school, but the reality is that the most ignorant and disadvantaged people don't even know what school is.
Reality is just that cruel.
This forced players to preach to the Indian people in the name of the gods that learning is an obligation that every Indian must accept, and that if the state gives their children the opportunity to receive an education, but the parents obstruct it, then they will go to hell after they die.
Well, although this propaganda sounds quite outrageous, it works wonders in India, and the problem of school-age children being able to attend school is solved immediately.
There's no need to worry about teachers; at worst, we can have intelligent robots take over. The intelligent robot technology of the Human Revolutionary Alliance has reached a level that is indistinguishable from real ones. Compared to humans, they can at least guarantee a kind of mechanical fairness, and will not treat each child differently. The teaching content is the same for everyone.
However, we must objectively acknowledge that there are differences between individuals when it comes to learning. Some people's ten years of hard study may not be as effective as a genius's sudden enlightenment. Therefore, the idea that everyone should go to university is a false proposition. Practical technology and cutting-edge science should be developed in parallel. Socialist countries should ensure that everyone has a job, even if it is mandatory, because people who are employed and people who are not employed are two different concepts.
Qin Shan didn't want to see the New World's People's Revolutionary Alliance filled with a bunch of invincible people. To put it bluntly, that thing was caused by a poor governance system and was a harbinger of the collapse of social order. The cause of these problems was the inaction of the government and the stagnation of the entire grassroots management system. As for why this situation occurred, it was because there was no goal and no hope. Similar problems occurred in almost all capitalist countries.
A socialist country's comprehensive management capacity must cover the entire society; otherwise, the problems that have arisen in capitalism will reappear. Once the economic base is strong, the superstructure should adapt to the economic base. Although this theoretically perfect model is difficult to achieve, Qinshan has the foundation.
Since Qin Shan himself holds the power to travel between worlds, the connections between the various worlds are not very close. Although the two sides can communicate, the original entities are in their respective worlds. Some worlds are also independently developing worlds. In other words, the development models of the twelve worlds under Qin Shan's command each have their own characteristics and directions. This can be considered as using the method of exhaustive search to explore the path of world development.
If a world goes astray, becomes irreversibly corrupt, then it should be restarted by intervening through the power of other worlds that are still developing normally, constantly undergoing self-revolution.
This is also why Qin Shan lets the players experiment freely. They are also part of the exhaustive method of civilization development. Everyone has their own mission and responsibility. What human civilization will become in the future depends on each practice.
India certainly has the same right, as does Africa. In Qin Shan's view, every nation and country has the opportunity to choose the right path, and he is very willing to give them that opportunity. However, whether they succeed or not depends on themselves. After all, players are very busy and cannot be responsible for a country forever. The purpose of giving them crutches is to enable them to truly stand up on their own.
By 1957, the situation in New India had completely stabilized, and the locals had accepted the fact that their country had become more than ten and began to accept their new lives. New India and the People's Revolutionary Alliance naturally established a strategic cooperative development model of mutual benefit. During this period, New India achieved a great victory over Pakistan.
No, you guys are still fighting.
After all, they are arch-rivals, so it's normal for them to fight frequently. Pakistan is just like India; given the chance, both sides will try to kill each other. In the history of the world, India was stronger than Pakistan, so they won. But the situation is different now.
Xinhua did not launch a self-defense counterattack against India. Instead, India disintegrated under the counterattack of the NPC. The newly independent countries all adopted friendly diplomatic strategies towards the NPC (those that were not friendly all died). The new India even launched a comprehensive cooperation with the NPC. At this time, the situation in South Asia became dominated by Pakistan.
At least on the surface, it appears to be a dominant power, but in reality, Pakistan's situation is not much better than that of other countries during the same period in its world history, and may even be worse.
First, they have no connection with Xinhua; second, they have no connection with the People's Revolutionary Alliance; and finally, New India is actually a country that was established through some kind of extraordinary means, and the People's Revolutionary Alliance is the boss behind it.
Even if the United People's Revolutionary Alliance did not personally send troops, the combat effectiveness of the Indian army after completing a thorough revolution would be incomparable.
In terms of weaponry, the weapons were outdated products that the People's Revolutionary Alliance had taken from its arsenal. Although they were outdated, they were only outdated compared to the People's Revolutionary Alliance. Even on Earth, they would be considered products from the late Cold War, such as the T-72 tank.
The People's Revolutionary Alliance certainly had no interest in these old cars, but New India didn't care at all. In fact, they had a huge stockpile of these kinds of old cars, which could now be given to them for use, which conveniently solved the problem of storage costs.
This is the India that Pakistan faces in the twelfth world: seemingly divided, but actually stronger.
The outcome of the conflict can only be described as devastating. Pakistan's 100,000-strong army was chased to the brink of defeat by the new Indian Red Army, which had less than a division. Pakistan was forced into a battle to defend its capital and experienced the treatment afforded to its home world, India.
But at this moment, the Indian army withdrew, stating that the conflict was due to Pakistan's invasion. India had no intention of provoking a war in South Asia, and that peaceful development was the theme of the future. They hoped that Pakistan would become a harmonious and friendly neighbor with India in the days to come, rather than becoming enemies who would fight to the death without saying a word. Even if we had enemies, they should hate the Britain that had divided and ruled us. Well, that's all I have to say. You'd better think about yourselves.
India's statement left Pakistan completely bewildered.
This style sounds so familiar, are you out of your mind?
However, Xinhua highly praised the new India's propositions, and the two countries subsequently established a closer diplomatic relationship, similar to that between Xinhua and Pakistan in the local world. After all, the India here is no longer the India of the past, but has replaced Pakistan and become a good friend of Xinhua in another direction.
Any policy shift must be based on the actual situation. India is more rational and advanced in this world, and is willing to pursue peaceful development and win-win cooperation. Therefore, Xinhua naturally extends an olive branch. Moreover, on the road to future development, the integration of the whole of Asia and even the whole world must be carried out in depth. The earth is just the cradle of mankind, and our goal is the stars and the sea.
Just as peace was gradually returning to the entire eastern region of Asia, the civil war in the United States began to draw neighboring countries into the conflict.
Overall, the whole of North America was thrown into chaos.
Section 38: The Tenth Step, A New Beginning
As we all know, Anglo-Saxon bandits love to oscillate between "profiting at the expense of others" and "profiting at the expense of others without benefiting themselves." They truly believe that "it's more painful for others to make money than for me to lose money," so they try their best to drag everyone down with them, unless they are the sole victor. No wonder there are so many diodes in their country.
On the path between desire and ideal, they chose the ideal of desire.
No wonder Britain sent batches of its best talent to the Soviet Union back then. The country's management structure was not suitable for people with a conscience to survive. Those who could survive were either heartless or just coasted along.
Therefore, during the American Civil War, the first thing the Republicans and Democrats on both the East and West thought about was, "What if the United States suffers heavy losses and neighboring countries attack us?"
Canada, in particular, has a history of this; its militia has utterly defeated the regular U.S. army and even joined the British lobster troops in burning down the White House. The tarnished future of the United States was foreshadowed by this incident.
Even if the exterior wall is painted white, it's still black (outrageous statement).
If the United States had intercontinental ballistic missiles, it wouldn't be impossible for it to drag the whole world down with it, but they don't. The emergence of the People's Revolutionary Alliance and the rapid rise of Xinhua have rendered many of the United States' plans merely on paper.
There's no PowerPoint presentation yet, and Hollywood has become a thing of the past since the American Civil War.
The United States can no longer reach further afield, but the attitude of its neighbors is very important. If Canada and Mexico take advantage of the situation, the United States will suffer huge losses. No, no, this kind of thing must not happen.
So the Republicans and Democrats, picking on each other and using every means at their disposal, first recruited soldiers from Canada and Mexico, then began mobilizing the governments of those two countries to actively interfere in U.S. domestic affairs. And when the time was ripe—well, you're already involved—then…
Let's all join in the fun. It's not like we can't use external forces to fight the American Civil War.
Adhering to the idea that "even if it's destroyed, it's better than myself being destroyed," the entire North America was turned into a battlefield of iron and blood by the American Civil War. Both sides wanted to borrow passage from neighboring countries and take advantage of their resources. Meanwhile, neighboring countries also took this opportunity to think about whether they could take over the United States, since Mexico and Canada didn't really like the United States.
If it were possible to destroy the United States, neither of these two countries would mind.
Now is the time to settle scores and grievances. The open door of America is the ladder to our progress.
Thus, the American Civil War turned into a three-way conflict, and the Total War expansion pack, Total War: North America, was officially launched.
The players stirring up trouble in the US were shocked. They knew about it but hadn't participated. They were mainly curious whether Canada and Mexico would be dragged in. Was the US government really going to bring in foreign troops to wreak havoc on North America?
Then they witnessed the Anglo-Saxon madness and selfishness, and they did just that. As for the catastrophe that ordinary Americans would suffer in the process, the two parties, who were already celebrating with the leaders of Canada and Mexico, didn't care.
So the players acted decisively. With their intervention, Mexico sided with the Democrats, and Canada sided with the Republicans. The American Civil War 3.0 officially began. Let's see who will ultimately win the White House.
While the US was engulfed in gunfire, Qinshan was also under heavy fire. After all, there were many American ship girls in Kantai Collection R. Recently, many of the girls have returned, and Qinshan is a ship-collecting powerhouse, so it's normal for them to be working day and night.
The new ship girls have also been assigned new roles. It's no exaggeration to say that Qin Shan's harem is half of his empire, and his interactions with the ship girls are all about maintaining the unity and stability of the country. He's really going to great lengths for them.
After the hard work was over, feeling the weight of conscience on both big and small, and contemplating the future of human civilization, the feeling can be summed up in two words—it was exhilarating!
However, not all ship girls are good at administration. Some are purely talented in combat. These ship girls are often the guards who follow Qin Shan. They are the kind with both combat power and good looks. If you see a few girls following Qin Shan, don't think they are easy to mess with. The destroyer is also close to the eighth tier of superhuman.
But Qin Shan has been thinking about something else recently, which is to break through from the ninth rank to the tenth rank of the Sun.
It is now confirmed that tenth-tier extraordinary beings exist, and Qin Shan had already reached the threshold of the tenth tier in his previous life.
This feeling is growing stronger, and Qin Shan has a strong premonition that breaking through to the tenth level will be a huge change that will change the times for him and for the entire human civilization.
Perhaps this is the opportunity for a leap forward in civilization.
After a sufficiently long period of accumulation and development, the bottleneck of civilization was broken through by chance by someone who happened to be pushed into that position.
Because this was Qin Shan's first time breaking through to the tenth rank, he temporarily put aside all his work and focused his energy on this matter. During this time, the security force around Qin Shan was also increased to the maximum. Although the breakthrough of a superhuman is not the kind of dangerous operation that cultivators in novels must go into seclusion and make full preparations before they can do it, it is always better to be safe than sorry.
However, how should I put it, this feeling of impending breakthrough is very strange, as if something is calling to me, but when Qin Shan responds, that thing falls into a state of confusion, as if a layer of thin paper is blocking out many things.
But it doesn't matter, because Qin Shan knows that he is about to break through, and even without a stroke of luck, it's only a matter of time.
Then he broke through; reality is so sudden, it doesn't give you any preparation.
It was a sunny afternoon, and Qin Shan was tending to the extraordinary plants he was cultivating. Every extraordinary person has a similar hobby: cultivating the extraordinary materials they need, developing skills, and cultivating their mind and body.
During this process, Qin Shan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then his extraordinary power burst forth from his body. However, it was neither violent nor out of control, but gently covered every inch of the surrounding space. Nourished by the rich extraordinary power, the extraordinary plants began to grow wildly, and soon the surrounding environment became like a tropical rainforest.
The surrounding ship girls immediately sealed off the area, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving unless the admiral emerged unharmed.
At this moment, Qin Shan felt as if he were bathing in an ocean of extraordinary power, able to generate and condense small, enclosed spaces with self-circulating energy. Then, he suddenly realized that he was creating a miniature universe.
The power of the creator god!?
No, not quite. It's just a tiny little world. Qin Shan could do something like this in his previous life. Now he's just taking it a step further, making the man-made world more complete and capable of endless life.
I understand now. The ultimate power of extraordinary strength is creation, is rebirth!
Ten days later, Qin Shan emerged. By this time, he was no longer just a space-type superhuman; he was proficient in all types of superhuman abilities and could create things with superhuman power within his capabilities.
It's just the most basic kinds of matter, but isn't the world's evolution from simple to complex based on these very basic substances?
Time and simple combinations can create the most colorful world.
For those at the tenth level of transcendence, it is a new starting point.
Section 39: Fairness, Fairness, and TM's Fairness
Personal success requires both the opportunities of the times and one's own efforts, but once a person succeeds, they can also become a new trendsetter.
Qin Shan's advancement was like breaking some kind of restriction. First, all the ship girls had the extraordinary potential to advance to the tenth tier. Then, all the worlds that were transformed into extraordinary beings and under the management of the Human Revolutionary Alliance experienced a wave of extraordinary breakthroughs.
In this wave of transcendence, the number of extraordinary individuals in each world has more than doubled, with the local world even more exaggerated to the point that every newborn baby is an extraordinary individual, realizing Qin Shan's dream of everyone becoming extraordinary.
However, the emergence of extraordinary abilities also brought another problem, namely the shortage of extraordinary resources. Since everyone is an extraordinary being or has the potential to become an extraordinary being, everyone needs to cultivate and advance. Although not everyone can become a high-level extraordinary being, there is still hope. What if it happens?
At this moment, Qin Shan had a guess.
"Did the Reaper Civilization embark on a path of harvesting other extraordinary civilizations because it lacked extraordinary resources after its overall civilization became extraordinary?"
This possibility cannot be ruled out, but as to how much, there is too little information at present, so we can only speculate. However, it is indeed one of the most likely possibilities for the formation of the Reaper civilization at this stage.
Further research requires more data, which means the People's Revolutionary Alliance needs to make further contact with the harvesters.
I just don't know how the Reaper civilization communicates, or whether they even have the ability to communicate.
That should be the case. It would be the biggest joke in the world if a super civilization didn't even have the most basic ability to communicate. It's just a matter of whether they are willing to communicate or not.
"To conduct further research, we need to examine the situation in the hunting world."
The so-called hunting worlds are those that have been plundered by the Reapers or where the Reapers are nearby. These worlds are not included in the Human Revolutionary Alliance's world management system, but are observed as objects. When necessary, they will confront the Reapers' lower-level combat units to collect their intelligence.
By now, the lower-level combat units of the Reaper civilization have been largely collected and organized. To learn more, it is necessary to contact higher levels, but there is currently no specific direction for action. A new change has arrived; all worlds under the rule of the Human Revolutionary Alliance must accept a new order—a transcendental order.
First and foremost: the acquisition of extraordinary resources.
It must be acknowledged that there are indeed some extraordinary resources that can be mass-produced. However, just as breakthrough materials in games are scarce, various materials that assist in breakthroughs are also scarce for extraordinary individuals. Talented people can indeed find paths that no one has ever imagined before, but the vast majority of people in this world are ordinary people. If cultivation resources cannot be made fair, then the extraordinary war that occurred in Qin Shan's memories of his previous life will come again.
The Xinhua Civil War that destroyed humanity's future was, in essence, the upper echelons' attempt to achieve hereditary privileges in the new era by monopolizing extraordinary resources. However, it proved impossible for them to succeed, because before that could happen, the lower echelons would have already pushed the situation to a lose-lose situation. At that time, Xinhua was indeed humanity's only hope.
Sophisticated egoists, with their most shrewd calculations, have castrated the future of humanity, along with themselves. This illustrates that while you can have biases when it comes to fairness, you must never let the scales tip out of control. The real problem is that no one complains online; everyone takes direct action.
The extraordinary can choose from more than just Cars or Sword Art Online; they can actually unleash a barrage of cannon fire or transform into the new Avengers, causing bloodshed throughout society.
What destroys stability is never adjustment, but extremes.
Of course, there are many things that extraordinary beings can do. The potential of extraordinary civilizations is enormous. Therefore, for extraordinary civilizations, fairness, fairness, and fairness is of utmost importance. Fairness is their lifeblood.
The good news is that high-level extraordinary resources are currently monopolized by the Shenzhou civilization. The cross-world alliance system formed by Qin Shan and the ship girls manages this system and has done its best to ensure fairness. As long as you use the points you get in Dimensional Online to exchange for extraordinary resources, you will definitely be able to get something.
Although some players have complained that the difficulty level of the tasks is not set reasonably, as long as the system can still function, such complaints will remain just that – complaints – and can be fine-tuned over time.
At this point, only one thing needs attention: offline murder and looting.
This kind of thing really can happen, because superhumans themselves are also resources.
In many cultivation novels, humans and other races are depicted as having a "I lust after your body" relationship where they hunt each other. However, in reality, anyone can have this kind of relationship. Extraordinary beings can also be resources that assist other extraordinary beings in their cultivation. This is how various unorthodox cultivation methods came about, and such methods will inevitably be developed by someone.
