Rebirth 2009: Synthetic God

For Zhou Rui, the reenactment has been completely over and forgotten, but for many people, its impact has just begun.

Late at night, French observer Ophir finally completed his last day's report in an official written format.

For this reason, he didn't even drink a drop of wine at the dinner today, not like a Frenchman at all.

But at this time, he still couldn't calm down, always feeling that something was missing.

It was the kind of feeling that under the waves of the times, he always wanted to do his best and make even the last useless effort.

So, Ophir wrote a letter in a private tone.

"Dear Pierre J., I haven't greeted you for a long time. I am in Ryukyu now. You should have known the reason and seen the corresponding report. But I still hope that you can take a look at this letter in your busy schedule."

Ophir's keyboard clattered cleverly, and for three hours, the screen was full of text.

He reorganized what he wanted to say about this reenactment.

There was no complicated reenactment process or equipment description, only some conclusions and judgments.

But when he typed the last period, he still felt it was not enough.

So he walked out of the hotel alone, lit a cigarette, and headed for the beach at three in the morning, wanting to relax.

As he walked, he bumped into a figure, also an observer, Moravi from Goose Country. The two had met at the dinner party that night.

Goose Country and Europe have always had a bad relationship, or it can be said that Goose Country is devoted to Europe, and Europe is devoted to guarding against Goose Country, so they haven't spoken to each other for so many days, but when they met at this place at this time, Ophir still raised his hand and said hello.

Moravi nodded silently, and the two passed by.

But after a few meters, they stopped at the same time, turned around and said at the same time: "Chat?"

Then they smiled at each other and walked in the same direction.

Without asking about their well-being, Moravi said directly: "The power they showed this time exceeded our most exaggerated guesses before. My boss would email me every day to ask if I drank too much vodka when writing reports."

Ophir: "I am similar. I have been repeatedly emphasizing that what I wrote is not exaggerated. Sea, land, air... No, to be precise, it is the four dimensions of 'sea, land, air, and space'. It seems that we are in two different eras."

To be honest, they did not despise China before they came. Those who still despise China in this era are either bad or stupid, but after coming, the actual performance made all their previous assumptions seem "frivolous".

Moravi suddenly asked: "If we start a war, which side do you think will have a greater chance of winning?"

Ophir was stunned: "With whom? France? We are not crazy yet."

Moravi shook his head: "Of course it is the United States."

Ophir pondered for a moment: "In terms of total volume, the United States, which is deployed globally, must have a larger army, but if they do not attack each other and do not enter the 'H war', I can only say that the United States has no chance of winning in the western half of the Pacific."

Moravi suddenly said: "Otherwise, let's try to deduce it?"

Ophir's eyes lit up. Deduction can be said to be a necessary skill for officers like them, especially those who will be sent out as observers.

Moravi has a strong knowledge of geography. He actually drew a simple outline centered on the Pacific Ocean on the beach with a branch. After discussion, Ophir was the Z side and Moravi was the M side.

The military configurations of most mainstream countries in the world are in their minds. Although not rigorous, they are also well-founded.

Ophir held up a branch: "Then who will start the fight first?"

"Of course it will be the United States, but not itself."

Morawie pointed to the location of the "Southeast Alliance" and drew a big circle: "I guess it's an agent here."

"Why?"

"Do you still need to ask? Obviously, agents are safer and can stop losses at any time."

"Secondly, direct confrontation will bring too much pressure to the whole world. The United States is not a monolithic country, not to mention the reaction of public opinion. If the two sides officially start fighting today, then the people will collectively fear and collectively oppose it."

"But, if it is one big and one small, the smaller one will be By creating an image of a "weak bullied country", the internal voices can be unified, and with this as an excuse, more forces can be mobilized and many allies can be won over. "

"What needs to be done is to deliberately instigate the small guys to provoke the "core interests" that the big guys cannot give up..."

Speaking of this, Moravi couldn't help but think of the friction between Ermao and Daye in the past two years.

He sighed. This is an open conspiracy.

Because there are loopholes in the rules, small countries are easily controlled by a very small number of people, and then people across the country are kidnapped to take risks.

Because the media is controlled, small countries are also easily provoked to do things like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.

Then one by one, they become consumables, the country and the people together.

Ophir nodded: "Then I think it's here."

He pointed to the archipelago representing "Wow Fang".

"The weakest and the most ambitious. Have you read "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms"? There is a line in it called 'fierce and cowardly, ignoring life when seeing benefits', which I think is very appropriate."

Morav nodded: "Okay, let's start with this."

The two of them started an unrigorous deduction with sand, sea water, and branches.

Then they did it again and again.

At first, they only centered around the Pacific Ocean. Later, they felt that this was a major event that was destined to involve the world, so they completed the topographic map to almost the entire earth.

It was carried out seven times in a row.

As a result, if the Pacific Ocean was divided equally and not extended too much, Ophir won six times.

The only time that the M side represented by Moravi won was because Ophir changed his goal halfway and took a small life as the main goal, which caused too much energy to be involved.

There was a faint bright line on the coastline, and the sun was about to rise.

Both of them were still unsatisfied.

Until the third wave of people came on the beach.

Two figures, one tall and one fat, jogged past where Ophir and Moravi were.

Zhou Rui stopped curiously.

Che Gan was determined to lose weight, and his perseverance was stronger than expected. Zhou Rui took Che Gan with him to do a morning run before the sun rose.

The effect was not bad. A few days of exercise was not enough to change Che Gan's figure, but it did change his perseverance and endurance. Even if he was panting like a broken bellows, he didn't stop.

He just kept muttering "Ouni-chan" in his mouth, I don't know what the hell.

He had seen both Ophir and Moravi, but he could only name Ophir, the French observer.

Zhou Rui looked at the two people and the obvious world map on the beach. Zhou Rui thought for a moment and guessed what they were doing.

He said to the car operator who was panting behind him: "Take a ten-minute break. Don't sit down. Walk slowly and turn around."

The car operator didn't care about anything else. He nodded, put his hands on his waist and started to turn around, while Zhou Rui came to Ophir and Moravi.

"Are you deducing?"

Ophir smiled tiredly and awkwardly, feeling like he was caught by the real owner.

Zhou Rui stared at the beach for a few minutes. His powerful analytical ability was running, and he actually restored the content of the last deduction of the two in his mind.

Xiao Rizi turned against his brother, the universe country was flattened by his brother, and the Southeast Alliance bowed.

Then there were two parties, one with the Western Pacific, East Asia, and Central Asia as its sphere of influence.

The other with the Eastern Pacific, South America, and Europe as its sphere of influence.

The earth was almost divided into two, and there were only a few that were not within the scope of either.

Zhou Rui chuckled.

The level is still too low. It is full of Western limited confrontational thinking.

Or, Cold War thinking.

Orphir said nervously: "We are just... on a whim, no other intention."

Two foreign observers, doing deductions in other people's territory in the middle of the night, are somewhat sensitive.

Zhou Rui shook his head. If people at this level can simulate changes in the world, then they underestimate the world.

Zhou Rui glanced at the car, still panting. On a whim, he took the branch from Orphir and leveled several battlefields on the beach, and then said:

Zhou Rui continued: "With the change of technological hegemony, the hollowing out of the manufacturing industry in the United States will soon usher in an economic crisis. The economic crisis is a necessary stage of the market economy. Like reincarnation, this time it will come faster than before."

High-profit industries have almost been squeezed out by China. Chips, cars, and even artificial intelligence can no longer create business miracles. The upstream of the market is technology. If there is no water in the upstream, the downstream will starve.

"Plus, they are not superior in combat power, so their main energy will be focused on financial harvesting, which is safer and faster."

But the prosperity of finance ultimately needs industrial support, which is a natural law.

If having the US dollar means being strong, then at least one of the five permanent members must have a cloth on his head.

However, in reality, the Middle Eastern rich countries are just bottom-tier players in the international community.

Ophir and Moravi looked at each other and felt very magical. On the beach in the early morning, they discussed the world situation with Master Zhou.

Zhou Rui pointed at the location of the "Southeast Alliance":

"Seeking agents will involve our energy. This will still be done. After all, the cost is very low, but with the current speed of change in the balance of power between the two sides, no one will be easily used as a gun, especially after this rehearsal."

"The various forces shown in the rehearsal will gradually appear in everyone's field of vision as normal, and constantly adjust the sanity of various small countries."

"The only place that may not be clear-headed is here."

Zhou Rui pointed at the location of the Universe Country.

"But it is a dead chess piece, and it will be flattened by its own brothers in a few days."

"Then the situation formed is that no matter how much the surrounding of a certain Eastern power stirs up the fire, it will be suppressed to a very low level, and it may even turn into an era of cold weapons, because taking action against these scum will only involve one's own energy."

"This is something that Western countries cannot understand. It comes from a unique understanding of the situation with a civilization that has lasted for thousands of years."

Moravi asked: "What understanding?"

"War is not a means of profit."

Zhou Rui drew two circles in Europe and America.

"I don't know how your culture is classified. In our classification, I belong to agricultural civilization and you belong to pirate civilization."

"All these places have profited from colonization and plunder. For China, the experience of the past thousands of years tells us that any prosperous era, a prosperous era that can benefit everyone, does not come from war, but from political stability and harmony."

"Agricultural civilization never pins its hopes for strength on external forces, such as colonizing or plundering someone. We believe that strength is inevitable, and the method is hidden in the land under our feet, not in some distant opponent worth plundering."

As soon as these words came out, Ofir and Molavi suddenly felt an ancient and profound, simple and unsophisticated wisdom.

"So, we will focus all our energy on how to 'strengthen ourselves'. We do not need any allies to stand on our side, nor do we need other countries to flatter us like they flatter Country M."

"Superconductivity, nuclear fusion, quantum computers"

"Poverty alleviation, comprehensive construction of a small K society, and improvement of national quality."

"There are so many things that can be done. After one round, there will be a new round. Just cultivating internally is enough for us to be busy for another 100 or 200 years."

Offill said hurriedly: "What about the end? What will happen in the end? The end of this deduction!"

Zhou Rui glanced at Ofir, took two steps forward, and jumped out of the already huge "Earth Plane" on the beach.

Jumped out of the deduction map.

Offill: "I don't understand what you mean."

Zhou Rui stuck the wooden stick in his hand on the beach: "Tell me, if the earth is under your feet, where is it under my feet? Where is this beach?"

Ofir murmured: "Yu Universe?"

Zhou Rui nodded: "It's smart. Just as civilization has entered a new era, why not raise your head and plan how to go further 7,000 years? Ten thousand years? On this land of earth, the era when we are the 'kings' has already passed. Too many times to be considered an achievement.”

Offill looked at Zhou Rui's retreating figure, and a feeling of epic romance arose spontaneously.

It made him intoxicated and dizzy as if he had drunk wine.

Zhou Rui walked further and further. Molavi, who said relatively little, shook his head and shouted: "How can you ensure that this deduction will become reality!"

Zhou Rui didn't look back.

"No one can guarantee it, just try hard."

“I have to say who can guarantee it?”

"us."

Zhou Rui was no longer nostalgic, changed from a slow walk to a trot, and greeted the dizzy Che Gan: "Let's go, continue."

Che Gan took a deep breath and suppressed the burning sensation in his lungs.

With a lot of sweat and determination, I continued on the road.
