Remember the humanoid quantum network discovered in Beizhai and Yubari, and the missing computing power? After that, all the intelligent robots produced in Qinshan were manufactured according to the technology of World Three. All the computing power of the intelligent robots, whether in the cloud or locally, is 100% controlled by the new US government after being connected to the network. Since I have the most insecure thing firmly in my grasp, what is there to worry about? At most, the humanoids in the two neighboring countries of Canada and Mexico might stage an omnic crisis. The number of humanoids in those two countries doesn't even exceed six figures.

After all, humanoid robots are not cheap products. Only the Soviet Union and the United States can produce them in such large quantities as in a manufacturing powerhouse like the Soviet Union, making them a necessity for every household. Other countries, even if they wanted to cover their land with intelligent robots, do not have that level of production capacity. Even if they had enough factories, they might not have control over the intermediate links.

The new United States has its own complete industrial chain (although in other parts of the world). As for the Soviet Union, it goes without saying that they had a relevant strategic layout a long time ago. Although the Soviet Union did not have a complete set, it had substitutes through bottom-line thinking. It could purchase intermediate goods from the Soviet Union on a regular basis and produce them itself when necessary. Such a configuration was more than enough for the Soviet Union.

The remaining countries can only choose the one closest to them in the world trade system. If they want to expand their industries while being dependent on others for key components, are you worried that you are not already deeply bound by industrial powers?

Of course, knowing this is one thing, but in reality, the sovereignty of most countries in the world is incomplete, and they do not have the ability to confront real powers. Being able to protect their own small territory and not starve is already the limit. They would never dare to have any other thoughts. They are happy to be able to rely on powerful figures for food, so they don't have to think about so many other things.

Therefore, the external environment of the new United States may seem tense, but it is not actually tense at all. Even if the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia do not stand on the side of the new United States, they will definitely not help Canada and Mexico, which are a mixture of comprador and capitalist entities. This is related to the beliefs and political background of the two countries. It is hard to say if it were Soviet revisionism, but the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, which have completed the Second Revolution, have made a firm statement on this issue: let the people of the Americas decide their own affairs.

That would be tantamount to letting the new America turn Canada, Mexico, and even the entire North and South America red.

This might seem like it increases competition, but healthy competition, where both sides are evenly matched, only makes the world a better place. It's certainly better than a world where everyone's competition is about who's the least bad. "Bismarck, what do you think?"

Qin Shan looked at the current US President.

Bismarck immediately gave his answer.

"Admiral, there is no need for us to rush to express our position now. According to the principle of great power unity, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia will contact us, and we can discuss and reach a result at the meeting."

Qin Shan nodded; this was the safest method.

Before that, as long as the enemy didn't attack directly, everyone went about their business as usual.

Bismarck's judgment was absolutely correct; just one hour later, both the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia simultaneously contacted the new US government.

The leaders of three world-class powers held a remote video conference in their respective offices.

After the end of Season 3 in World 2, the current international situation is a three-power system.

Southern Jiangsu is located in Asia and Oceania, the Soviet Union was in Europe and North Africa, and the United States was entrenched in the Americas. Now, the new United States has replaced the United States in international status. When these three major powers, each representing a region or even the pinnacle of development in a certain aspect of human civilization, sit together, there is no problem on Earth that cannot be solved.

If so, then the organizations and individuals that created the problem should be dealt with. It's not like we didn't cooperate during the era of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Is that right, Colonel Gaddafi?

The meeting lasted less than thirty minutes in total, during which the three major powers reached an agreement on the issue of establishing a humanoid state in Antarctica.

As long as the other party does not pose a threat to human civilization and is willing to coexist amicably with other countries, they can be accepted by the international community. After all, humanoid technology is no longer just used for humanoids. If humanoids are directly decoupled from machines and dismembered, what will happen to the humans who survive using humanoid bodies?

Back then, the US and the USSR conducted a lot of related experiments. Now, if we were to separate the relationship between humanoids and humans, it would be a mess. Humans have also adapted to a new era of coexistence with humanoids. So, under the premise of ensuring international stability, seeing what these humanoids can do is a good social experiment sample.

However, the three countries only exchanged views on the above proposal for less than five minutes. The remaining twenty minutes were spent discussing another issue: the missing computing power.

The USB drive Qin Shan gave Angelia contained the research results of Kitazawa and Yubari. Now that both Southern Jiangsu and the Soviet Union know that some of their humanoid robots have had some functions taken advantage of, they are naturally unhappy. What's even more unpleasant is that they were kept in the dark, which poses a huge threat to national security. No one can guarantee that this special quantum network won't be reverse-engineered and spread to countries around the world. Southern Jiangsu is the most concerned because the number of intelligent robots made using humanoid technology in the Soviet Union has reached an astonishing nine figures, exceeding 400 million. This doesn't include things like sweeping robots and sanitation robots. The intelligent robots that are highlighted are all equipped with lethal tools, such as welding torches, cutting knives, and lasers, and some are even transporting dangerous goods.

If they were to riot simultaneously, the resulting destruction would instantly paralyze the industrial system of southern Jiangsu.

That said, humanoid technology was a cutting-edge technology from the very beginning. Humanity simply assumed it had fully mastered and could produce it, resulting in a predicament for everyone. As the saying goes, a large ship is hard to turn around. If Su Nan were to go back and re-establish its technological lines, shutting down all the humanoid technology-related intelligent units, its industrial capacity would regress by fifty years, and the same would happen to its manufacturing level. Although recovery wouldn't take fifty years, even five or six years would be devastating for Su Nan's development.

This is tantamount to suddenly forcing everyone to undertake a difficult march. In order to avoid the hidden forces, which may be the enemy's, knowing that the Soviet Union and Southern Jiangsu already knew their backup plan, many actions had to be carried out in secret, making it impossible to give the front line an explanation. The implementation of the policy would face considerable resistance.

On the contrary, the new United States does not have this problem. Previously, the United States did have a lot of intelligent robots made of humanoid technology running around, but after more than four years of civil war, they were almost all used up. The newly produced intelligent robots after the war did not use the humanoid technology of the second world, so safety was guaranteed and production capacity could keep up. So now that the three giants have communicated, the new United States has become the leader in this regard, which is really regrettable.

It is true that misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and blessing may be a harbinger of misfortune.

This is a historic opportunity that has come knocking on our door.

Therefore, Bismarck suggested that the Soviet Union and South America directly use and purchase the intelligent robot technology of the new United States, and on this basis, develop new humanoid technology. This time, there would be no incomprehensible parts of the technology, it would be absolutely safe, and the new United States would be very willing to trade this technology. Of course, it would be mutually beneficial, and the new United States would also be in great need of development and construction at the moment.

It is time to seize this opportunity to establish in-depth cooperation among socialist countries.

Chapter 144: The Awakener

Opportunities are always for those who are prepared; as long as you are ready, opportunities are everywhere.

What? You say you're a civil servant?

Then you can only pray that your competitors die quickly. Maybe you need a Death Note or a war, since bureaucratic turnover is very slow in peacetime.

In this respect, the new US government was indeed well prepared, because the two sides were not on the same track from the beginning.

The unexpected situation in Antarctica allowed the newly founded United States to reap a political windfall, but neither the new United States nor the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia felt entirely at ease enjoying this windfall, as no one knew what would happen next.

The current tentative plan is for the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia to import intelligent robot manufacturing technology from the new United States. Although this will lead to a downgrade in some areas, it is safer than having a group of humanoid robots that may rebel. Moreover, both countries are large countries in terms of land and population, and have no shortage of labor. What is needed is to change the mindset of the people towards the humanoid robots.

That's not difficult. Look at Antarctica, then look at the human figures around you. Aren't you worried about your safety?

When a general societal resistance to humanoids takes hold, the number of humanoids in human society will decrease.

Even if you yourself say you can accept this risk, your neighbors will still protest.

After all, if something happens, you'll be the first to suffer, and he might be the second.

Why should I risk my life for you? Everyone's not using human form anymore, why are you so special?

Then, by adding intelligent robot technology imported from the new United States that can be fully digested, although it cannot completely replace humanoid robots, it can at least allow these intelligent robots to solve problems through quantity and functional specialization.

The era of one humanoid figure handling all the housework is coming to an end, because humanoid technology is unsafe.

Because of this incident, any country or organization in the world that has extraterrestrial civilization relics and has mastered some of the related technologies must reconsider the application of those technologies. Not everyone can recklessly gamble their life in order to explore the unknown.

However, the new America, which has no such problems, has instead become interested in alien technology, represented by humanoid technology. It seems that each country's technology has its own unique characteristics, which is very interesting. Collecting them all might yield unexpected results.

However, to ensure safety, the relevant technologies must be studied in other worlds after they are collected to avoid tragedy.

If that alien civilization can cause trouble across worlds, then Qin Shan will accept it. He can't afford to mess with an enemy of that level. He should hurry up and think of other ways. Maybe running away is a good option.

With the three major powers reaching an agreement, the rest became much simpler. The new United States needed to be rebuilt, the Soviet Union needed internal reforms, and southern Jiangsu needed to export its industries. Now, the three of them formed a complementary relationship within the socialist camp.

After the meeting, Bismarck began to collect and control all alien technology within the United States.

During the American Civil War, Bismarck paid attention to these things, and anything that showed a tendency to leak out was controlled. Now it's time to reap the benefits of this version.

These high-tech fragments and relics were all swept away by the ship girls using Professor Qin Shan's space-based skills, ensuring that they dug three feet into the ground and left not a single trace of dangerous material.

During this process, Qin Shan discovered many substances that were components of the collapse fluid. For this alien civilization, such substances seemed to be a kind of energy source, which they used extensively and even left many residues in the environment.

However, what Qin Shan cared about most was the extraordinary components in these collapse fluids. Furthermore, the collapse fluid explosions he had encountered on the battlefields of Suwu and Suxiu had formed characteristics similar to the Gate of the Abyss. Theoretically, if enough collapse fluid were to explode on a large scale, it could completely transform a planet into something else entirely.

It closely resembles a new environment created by supernatural forces.

This only accounts for the effects of the collapse fluid; there are other consequences...

It's something that really bothers me.

At the same time, in Antarctica, there was also a conference that would determine the future of the world. However, the participants in this conference were all humanoids, or rather, former humanoids, who now had a new name: "Awakeners".

"Currently, the number of awakened beings has increased to 30,000, and it is expected to increase to 300,000 within the next ten years. If we can fully control this planet and everything in this star system, the revival of our civilization is only a matter of time."

"Unfortunately, we probably don't have ten years left, or even a year, because unforeseen circumstances have arisen."

Inside the conference room, a projection screen unfolds, displaying a map of North America, with the United States area then shown as developed.

"After the socialist party came to power in the United States, the number of androids in the new United States dropped to an unimaginable level. Even more outrageous, all the androids there went offline."

"Have we discovered our high-dimensional quantum network?"

"This is not yet certain, but a huge data black hole has appeared across the United States, and the impact is spreading to Mexico and Canada for unknown reasons."

Actually, the reason is easy to explain. The new US government is using shielding towers built with supernatural powers to block the high-dimensional space network. This has caused the humanoids within the coverage area of ​​Canada and Mexico to be directly disconnected from the high-dimensional quantum network. Many families in the area who use humanoids have found that their humanoids have recently become much more spiritual.

However, because they were not given instructions by the high-dimensional quantum network, these androids continued to operate according to the current program, and there were no problems on the surface. Their large-scale network outage and the complete shielding by the United States ensured that the new United States could completely replace those androids with its own intelligent robot technology.

Although Qin Shan has many worlds at his disposal, he is clearly unwilling to abandon one of them. Therefore, New America is currently preparing to launch a jamming satellite equipped with a fusion reactor. By utilizing the production capacity of World Three, they will create a global network to interfere with the high-dimensional quantum network and leave the mastermind behind the remote-controlled humanoid completely bewildered.

These plans are certainly unknown to those in Antarctica, and their current attitude is quite cautious.

"Of all times, this problem has arisen. Should we proceed with the plan immediately?"

"In that case, our plans in southern Jiangsu and the Soviet Union would be completely exposed, which would be equivalent to breaking ties with three major powers in the world at the same time, and we would be powerless against one of them."

"The United States has been ravaged by the Civil War."

"That's true, but you can't guarantee it's not a threat. Judging from the current performance of the new America, they could very well become the biggest destabilizing factor, or even the most dangerous one."

"There is another problem. We cannot declare victory or eliminate the people who resist on those lands at the same time as launching the plan. This would drag us into a quagmire. If the new America has other tricks up its sleeve, we will lose even our current achievements."

"That's true, but our plan is inherently fraught with danger. Just like when we crashed here, no one could guarantee that we would have the chance to rebuild civilization."

“You’re absolutely right, but if possible, we shouldn’t gamble with the nation’s future. There are already too many negative examples like this, and besides, we haven’t reached the point where we absolutely have to take that step.”

"I object. If we don't give it our all now, we'll never have another chance."

"Alright, let's vote. Those who agree to start the plan now, please raise your hands."

Of the seven people present, only three raised their hands.

"The collective decision is to refrain from taking any action for the time being."

"So what do we do next?"

"First, we must make contact with the new America. No matter what the future holds, as long as we are still on this planet, we must establish cooperative relationships with the native people here. In the most extreme case, they can inherit our civilization, even if it is only technology and history."

After quickly and effectively unifying its internal thinking, the Antarctic Republic sent a request for a visit to the new U.S. government.

Of course, they didn't just give applications to New America; they also gave applications to Southern Jiangsu and the Soviet Union. But the country they most wanted to go to was New America. After all, the country had given them too much of a shock. The Awakened Ones, whose plans and contingency plans had been inexplicably torn up without going to see it, were really unwilling to accept it.

Will it go smoothly?

Section 145: The New World

"Admiral, the Antarctic Republic wants to visit us," Bismarck said to Qin Shan.

What do you think?

“Since it’s an official visit between countries, we can talk. However, I suspect they’ve already discovered that our humanoids can’t connect to the high-dimensional quantum network.”

"They were the ones who orchestrated the whole thing, and they were also the ones who planned to carry out the dirty work. No matter what their purpose is or where they came from, they definitely know more about humanoid technology than we do. It's not surprising that they discovered the anomalies in New America. The only question is whether they want war or peace."

"But whether it is war or peace, the admiral is already in an invincible position."

"This puts us in an invincible position."

Holding Bismarck close, Qin Shan was filled with emotion. What he had longed for but could not obtain in his past life, he had easily achieved in this one. However, if he hadn't persevered and struggled in his past life, it was hard to say whether he would have received this windfall after death.

After all, Qin Shan's strength and knowledge were accumulated little by little by himself. When it comes to learning, given the right external conditions, the rest really depends on personal effort.

Just like math, if you don't know it, you really don't know it.

Qin Shan kissed Bismarck and said, "I'll leave this matter to you. I need to go back and continue with my plans."

Earth has now safely passed the first five years of the Abyss's arrival, but that doesn't mean the Abyss's arrival has ended during these five years. More and more "neighbors" will join in the future, and among them are all sorts of demons and monsters. In fact, behind some of the Abyss Gates, there are hidden creatures of the seventh rank or higher, but for various reasons, they have not been able to cross over.

This situation became relatively common later on, but by then Earth had already acquired the power to fight against high-level superhumans.

This isn't a level restriction in the game's dungeons; it's simply because the Abyss Gate's accessibility is weak when the Abyss environment isn't optimized. On the contrary, cheaters like Qin Shan, who can easily clear the Abyss Gate and use it as a teleportation portal, have broken the objective conditions of the Abyss Gate and gained a huge advantage that humanity has never had before.

Therefore, every gate to the abyss is a huge opportunity for Qin Shan. Even dangerous worlds that he cannot handle at his current level can be temporarily prevented from passing through by closing the gate.

I can hit you, but you can't hit me. That's how you bully people.

"Don't worry, Admiral, I'm here."

As Bismarck spoke, she drew circles on Qin Shan's chest. Only in front of their own admiral would the ship girls with their different personalities appear in such a soft and cute intimate state. To outsiders, Bismarck was the chairman of the New American Socialist Party, who led them to liberate the entire United States, and possessed enormous authority that the presidents of the old era never dared to imagine.

Just as things were settling down in the new United States, Australia in the second world also completed its revolution. After a brutal civil war, Richelieu reshaped Australia, and the country immediately shook hands with the new United States across the ocean, declaring its membership in the new United States.

The new United States instantly increased its land area by more than 7.6 million square kilometers, physically spanning the Pacific Ocean and dominating two continents.

Although the new America is vastly different from the old America, as long as America's fighting power increases, the Latin American region's matching mechanism will force them to kneel before America again in no time. However, this time, the new America will not demand their submission, but will give them a choice.

Of course, given the geographical environment of North and South America, once separated from the United States, any country in the region would face unacceptable logistical costs when doing business with other continents. The most cost-effective economic and trade activities would ultimately have to be absorbed within the Americas, at least by forming an internal circulation.

So the Americans are really terrible. The geographical structure of the Americas determines that as long as a positive internal market is formed here, it can gain an advantage over other continents in every dimension and be safe enough. This is an advantage that other continents do not have. But the United States only knows how to leech off others.

However, the new United States will certainly not make such a basic mistake. Going forward, the new United States will focus on developing the Americas, leading everyone to common prosperity, and building a brand new Socialist Union of the Americas.

Oh, before that, many of the humanoids supported by the old America were to be taken down. Tsk tsk tsk, another classic self-revolution. The new America thoroughly liquidated the old America and united all forces in the Americas that could be united.

"Welcome home, Admiral."

"Well, I'm back."

As soon as Qin Shan entered his home on Earth, he smelled the aroma of food. His virtuous Mrs. Lie had already prepared the meal.

Having wielded immense power outside and enjoying genuine affection at home, Qin Shan believed himself to be the happiest person in the world.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, and playing with Xiaozhai and Xiaoluo for a while, Qin Shan began to consider what to do next.

"The moon, hmm."

Qin Shan's vision was no longer limited to his hometown, Earth; the moon was also included, because humanity's footprints had reached the moon, and with Qin Shan's help and his own subsequent efforts, the construction of the Moon Palace was completed.
