Gao Ye cast Meng Chao a deep glance. He did not answer his question directly. He just continued speaking. "There are twenty-four hours in a day, and there are three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. Every four years, there will be a leap year. This is common knowledge that even children know, but for it to appear in the Other World and Earth at the same time, it's very strange and even terrifying.
"This means that the Other World has a rotation and orbital period that is similar to Earth's.
"Of course, it also has similar gravity, oxygen content, the structure of the atmosphere and crust, ecosystem, and other things.
"You have to understand that humans have once conducted simulations of galaxies that are hundreds of light years away from Earth, but they didn't find a single habitable planet that is similar to Earth.
"As it happens, through the mysterious' teleportation ', we happened to be teleported to a planet that is highly similar to Earth. Even the zombie virus here can spread to the earthlings instantly. Don't you think that such a' coincidence 'in billions of stars is too absurd?"
Meng Chao thought about it and nodded. "Indeed, transmigration might not be a coincidence, but even the Supernatural Tower hasn't figured out what's going on. Does your organization know the answer?"
He thought of every possible way to extract more information from Gao Ye's mouth.
"No one knows the answer, but we can make some simple guesses," Gao Ye said.
"First of all, transmigration doesn't happen randomly. There must be … something like a galactic tunnel supported by outstanding technology between Earth and the Other World.
"Second, the natural environment and ecosystem of the Other World and Earth must have been modified. Either the Other World was modified using Earth as a template, or Earth was modified using the Other World as a target, or the Other World and Earth were modified using another habitable planet as a template.
"And since Earthlings and the creatures of the Other World can eat each other, digest each other, and even spread the viruses on each other, it means that we belong to the same ecosystem.
"When we consider that we discovered a lot of black technology in the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower and the runic symbols in them … it means that there was a highly developed ancient civilization in the Other World a long time ago, and this ancient civilization is definitely connected to Earth's civilization.
"Now, the problem is, do the direct descendants of the ancient civilization still exist? And how strong are they?"
A thought appeared in Meng Chao's mind, and he intentionally said, "I don't know. Director Gao, what does your organization think?"
Gao Ye did not fall for it. He only smiled faintly and said, "My personal opinion is that the direct descendants of the ancient civilization should still occupy the largest and most fertile land in the Other World. You're right. Countless fierce monsters have been suppressed to Monster Mountain Range, which means that there's definitely something even more terrifying than monsters in the outside world. Perhaps it's … the real Other World civilization.
"This Other World civilization might not possess the outstanding technology from the ancient civilization that can connect the Other World and Earth. In fact, in certain aspects, it might not even reach the standards of Earth's civilization one hundred years ago. You must know that one hundred years ago, we were already able to launch artificial satellites and observe the entire image of our home planet. We could also use high-altitude reconnaissance planes to take pictures of most of the habitable areas on our home planet. An unknown civilization wouldn't have landed on our planet for half a century without knowing anything about it.
"But if we look at it from another angle, the ancient civilization, which was incredibly developed in the past and could create practically the same ecosystem on two planets that were billions of light years away from each other, wouldn't have been completely destroyed. They would definitely have left behind something.
"Since we can discover the ancient ruins under the Supernatural Tower, how do we know that the direct descendants of the ancient civilization can't discover more ancient ruins in the boundless Other World and absorb the power in them?
"Perhaps their usage of this power is still at a very primitive stage.
"But even if they use the simplest and crudest method to use the power similar to runic symbols, it's still enough to bring great trouble to Earth's expeditionary army.
"They don't need to have the power or concepts of high technology. They only need to have the technology and civilization standards of Earth's middle ages. Besides, they have tens of thousands of Earth Realm elites, thousands of Heaven Realm elites, and nearly one hundred Deity Realm elites. Through guerrilla warfare, unrestricted warfare, and all sorts of terrifying destructive methods, they can slow down our colonization and make us bleed one hundred times more, but it'll all be in vain. The losses outweigh the gains.
"In conclusion, the mission to conquer the Other World won't be completed so easily. We'll be facing a long and arduous war. This war will last for thirty years, fifty years, or even one hundred years. Do you agree with me?"
Meng Chao simply could not agree with Gao Ye's conclusion.
Because the bloody future in his previous life was even more pessimistic than what Gao Ye had predicted.
It was not that the war to conquer the Other World would definitely last for one hundred years. Instead, it was that in less than fifty years, Dragon City would suffer a crushing defeat in the colonization war and be completely devoured by the Other World.
Meng Chao looked down and hid away the light in his eyes. He asked in puzzlement, "Director Gao, why are you telling me this? Is this related to you wanting to kill President Xie?"
"Of course it's related. I don't have any personal grudges with Xie Xiaolei. Instead, we're partners who have a very good relationship with each other. But to save most of the normal people in Dragon City, I must use Spirit Creation Creatures to develop a brand new technology and use it to change our civilization. This is something Xie Xiaolei will definitely not agree to, so I can only come up with this plan."
Gao Ye sighed and cast Meng Chao a glance. "As for why I'm telling you this … perhaps it's because I admire you a lot and believe that there's a certain chance that you'll agree to my ideals and even fight for them."
Meng Chao could not help but laugh.
"Director Gao, do you think that I'll agree to your ideals and fight for them after you're arrested?"
Once he said this, he felt a little regretful.
Because he suddenly realized that pretending to agree to Gao Ye's ideals was a good way to solve the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities.
Perhaps he could follow the clues through Gao Ye and join the organization behind him. Then, he could get rid of the people who created the White Spirit and the other Supernatural Entities in one fell swoop.
"I don't know, but why don't I try?"
Gao Ye did not know what Meng Chao was thinking. He continued speaking calmly. "At the very least, I believe that the current you, who hasn't awakened to supernatural abilities for long, is still willing to stand on the side of the 99% of normal people in Dragon City."
Meng Chao frowned a little. "It sounds like your organization is completely opposing the 99% of normal people and the 1% of superhumans."
Gao Ye did not answer. He stared at the super Giant Sandworm outside the window and thought about it for a long time. Then, he changed the topic and said, "Since we both agree that it won't be easy to win the war to colonize the Other World, with this as our starting point, what do you think Dragon City will become one hundred years later? Have you thought about this question, Meng Chao?"
Meng Chao was a little stunned. He shook his head.
He had indeed never thought about what Dragon City would become one hundred years later.
In his nightmare, Dragon City would be completely destroyed thirty to fifty years later.
"Since you haven't thought about it, why don't I talk about it?"
Gao Ye said. "First of all, since the war continues, the lack of resources will always exist. As the supply line grows longer, we will need to defend more regions, and we will need more resources. Most of the resources will have to be used in the war, and they won't be able to land in the people's pockets to improve their lives.
"In other words, the Survival Committee's suggestion that as long as we win the Monster War, everyone will be able to live in peace is a complete lie. At the very least, it's an unrealistic fantasy.
"Before we conquer all of the Other World, we definitely won't be able to solve the problem of limited resources. Do you agree?"
Meng Chao's mind raced.
In his previous life, Dragon City had suffered a major blow in the newbie village. Later on, they did not have a smooth fight against the foreign forces. They lacked resources for a long period of time, and the normal people did not have a good life.
But in this life, Meng Chao had stirred up a storm and completely changed the outcome of the northern offense.
As long as they destroyed the Nine Great Supernatural Entities, they could end the Monster War cleanly and allow Dragon City to rush out of the newbie village in full health.
The colonization war in the future should be even smoother than in his previous life.
Regardless of whether it was directly snatching the spoils of war or using the soldiers from Earth armed to the teeth to forcefully open the consumer market of the Other World natives or indirectly suck their blood, the lives of Dragon Citizens would definitely be much better than in his previous life, right?
"I know what you're thinking. You must be thinking that as long as the war against the foreign forces goes smoothly, we'll be able to suck the blood of the boundless Other World natives endlessly, and the normal citizens will definitely be able to rely on the profits from war to live a much better life," Gao Ye said coldly.
Gao Ye said coldly. "The Survival Committee just wants to turn Dragon Citizens into mindless war machines. When they hear the slogan 'for Earth', they'll launch brainless attacks. That's why they've been continuously increasing the portion of cultivation courses in basic education, but using all sorts of excuses, they've been continuously reducing the time and depth of humanities courses like history.
"You didn't learn much about Earth's history in school, right?
"As long as you've learned a little bit of Earth's history, you'll know that not everyone has the right to profit from war.
"The countless colonization wars during Earth's era proved that even the citizens of the victorious countries can't change their fates as long as they aren't the rulers standing high above them. No matter how glorious their victories are, they can't change their fates.
"When the western empires conquered the seven seas and had countless colonies, they were known as The Sun Never Sets. But their women and children still had to work until they died in the hellish textile factories. On average, it would only take a short five years for a worker to enter the factory and reach the grave.
"When the Japanese empires won against their powerful enemies and allowed the Sun Flag to fly on the fertile, black soil of the Other World, the warlords and corporations got rich, but the wives, sisters, and daughters of the normal citizens had to sell their bodies to fill up the gap between them and the military.
"The profits from the colonization war will only be completely snatched by the rulers. They will continue strengthening the rulers and widen the distance between them and normal people. This is a necessity of history. It won't change just because we transmigrated to the Other World."
