He could not rush the Mystery of the Supernatural Entities, so he could only set it aside for now.
Right now, the most important thing was to solve the problem of the Enclosure Law.
"Uncle Shao, my words carry no weight, so I naturally can't stop the Enclosure Law from being carried out or even being upgraded. But the Broken Star Club has hundreds of thousands of members, and these broken-star superhumans are the backbone of various industries. They personally fight at the frontlines and come into close contact with the majority of citizens," Meng Chao said seriously.
"Aside from that, I'm also a director of Blue Home. Many of the members in Blue Home are owners of small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as specialists who wish to break free of the restrictions placed on them by the mega corporations in terms of funds and resources.
"I believe that they're the same as us. They don't want to see the nine great mega corporations continue expanding until they monopolize everything because of the Enclosure Law.
"Even though the Broken Star Club and Blue Home are just civilian organizations, at the very least, we can say things that are completely different from the theory that the sun never sets. We can say that we can go against it so that millions of Dragon Citizens can think about a second possibility in the future that is different from the empire that never sets, which only has a short one hundred years of glory!"
Meng Chao's stance was even more proactive and resolute than Shao Zhengyang expected.
It was precisely because of this that the strongest fighter in the Red Dragon Army, who did not even bat an eyelid in the face of an Apocalyptic Beast, was a little hesitant.
"Meng Chao, think about it carefully. I didn't want you to do this in such a grand manner when I talked to you about this," Shao Zhengyang said earnestly.
Shao Zhengyang said earnestly. "I know that Superstar has quite a number of projects with the nine great mega corporations. Recently, you've signed so many business deals that your hands are aching." You've also fought side by side with the outstanding members of the third generation of the nine great mega corporations, and you've gone through life and death situations together. You have an extraordinary relationship with them.
"If you use the power of the Broken Star Club and Blue Home to oppose the Enclosure Law in a clear manner, it will definitely affect Superstar's business interests.
"And you will also be deeply bound to the Red Dragon Army.
"This might not be a good thing for your future development. So, you must think about it carefully."
Shao Zhengyang's words caused warmth to surge in Meng Chao's heart.
If they were people who would do anything to achieve their goals, Meng Chao's stance would be exactly what they wanted. There was no reason for them not to immediately place Meng Chao and Superstar on the Red Dragon Army's side and bind them together.
But no matter what, Shao Zhengyang was an upright and resolute general. He was truly thinking from Meng Chao's perspective.
"General Shao, I've already thought it through."
Meng Chao smiled.
He changed the way he addressed Meng Chao from uncle to general to show that he supported the Red Dragon Army. It was not because of their friendship, and neither was it because of Battle God Lei Zongchao. Instead, it was purely because of the overall situation and the future of Dragon City.
"In the beginning, you asked me whether I had imagined Dragon City's future. Honestly, I've imagined it countless times, but I never found an answer. Just who will be able to save Dragon City?"
"But even though I don't know who can save Dragon City, I'm certain that the nine great mega corporations won't be able to save Dragon City!
"Dragon City is completely controlled by the mega corporations. Even if it can extend its tentacles to the Other World like an octopus and show off its might for a while, it is bound to fail and even be destroyed, just like Peach Blossom Town.
"If Dragon City is destroyed, will Superstar, business interests, future, and relationships still have any meaning?
"As for being deeply bound to the Red Dragon Army …
"My father is a retired veteran of the Red Dragon Army. This is something everyone knows.
"I might not be his biological son, but he risked his life to dig me out of the swaying ruins that were ravaged by monsters.
"My life was saved by the Red Dragon Army, and I'm also raised by the Red Dragon Army. I'm definitely a son of the Red Dragon Army. Are you saying that I'm afraid of standing out in the open and standing on the same side as the Red Dragon Army to create Dragon City's future?"
Shao Zhengyang's expression changed.
His short silver hair shone with a light that was as sharp as a sword. Sparks gathered and surged in his eyes.
"Good, good! Son of the Red Dragon Army, what a son!"
Shao Zhengyang said firmly and clearly. "Meng Chao, based on what you said today, the Red Dragon Army will forever be your strongest shield. We will always support you, the Broken Star Club, and Superstar!
"Don't worry. We don't have the habit of letting anyone charge alone in the Red Dragon Army, and we won't let down any warrior who fights bravely or gets injured.
"Coincidentally, while the Red Dragon Army was attacking Hidden Fog, they discovered a compound mine with a lot of resources more than twenty kilometers to the southeast of God of Fog Mountain, and they occupied it. There are Fire Crystals, White Crane Stones, Blue Flashing Stones, Red Origin Crystals, and all sorts of rare crystals there. Based on the high-pressure spirit energy that gushed out of the holes, the number of crystals underground is astonishing, and the quality is pretty good.
"This time, the Red Dragon Army doesn't intend to hand the crystal mine to any mining company to mine it. Instead, they intend to develop it, refine it, and use it on their own.
"If you want to mine the crystal mine, you'll need large underground operating facilities like tunnel boring machines or Giant Sandworms that have been specially modified and are skilled in digging holes underground and eating stones.
"Meng Chao, I heard that Superstar bought the original Spirit Creation Creatures and took over all of their technicians, related information, and research facilities?
"Spirit Creation Creatures was once the best manufacturer of Giant Sandworms in Dragon City. Many of the underground development projects in Dragon City, including the construction of the underground transportation system, were handed over to Spirit Creation Creatures. How much of the technology in this area do you have left?"
"There's definitely no problem with the technology."
Meng Chao explained to Shao Zhengyang. Even though Professor Gao Ye, their chief biochemical technologist, had turned into the Ultimate Sandworm and betrayed human civilization, which caused them to suffer a huge blow to their foundation, Spirit Creation Creatures was still bought over by Superstar.
With Meng Chao's connections and the support of the entire biochemical modification circle, they gradually recovered to their previous standards.
Through Meng Chao's connections, they managed to form a strategic partnership with the abnormal beast research department and Agricultural University. Not only did their researchers' skills improve by leaps and bounds, their research facilities also changed. They were now much better than when Gao Ye was in charge of the project!
"If that's the case …"
A brilliant light shone in Shao Zhengyang's eyes. "Meng Chao, is Superstar interested in working with the Red Dragon Army to develop this composite crystal mine with an astonishing amount of crystals?"
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
His breathing quickened.
Spirit energy was the most important source of energy in the Other World.
It was also the source of energy for all the Other World civilizations, including Dragon City's civilization that had transmigrated to the Other World.
Crystals were highly compressed spirit energy, and they contained a lot of spirit energy. They were the foundation for cultivation, research, construction, and fighting.
In a nutshell, whoever controlled the crystal stone lode would be the winner.
Whoever controlled everything would be in control.
In the past, most of the crystal exploration, mining, and refinement industries in Dragon City were firmly controlled by Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation.
The two corporations relied on their sparkling crystals to rise into the ranks of the nine great mega corporations.
In fact, they were among the top two giants among the nine great mega corporations.
Even the crystals the Red Dragon Army used on a daily basis were mainly provided by Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation.
Even though most of the time, Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation would ensure the quality and supply of the crystals the Red Dragon Army needed first.
But the vital strategic resources were in someone else's hands, and this was not a good feeling.
It was fine if it was just normal crystals, but when it came to high-grade crystals that were incredibly valuable and rare, even if Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation managed to dig them out, they might not immediately send them to the Red Dragon Army.
There was a higher possibility that they would leave them for the peerless fighters in the nine great cultivation families who could afford it.
The Red Dragon Army naturally wanted to change this situation.
The problem was, before the Red Dragon Army and the Survival Committee were formed, the predecessors of Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation had already begun exploring and mining the crystal mines around Dragon City.
Sky Pillar Corporation's founder and Lu Siya's grandfather, Lv Zhongqi, was the best mine explorer, crystal expert, and spirit energy researcher in Dragon City.
In fact, it could be said that the naming, definition, mining, and refinement methods for crystals in Dragon City were all created by pioneers like Lv Zhongqi.
Lv Zhongqi had once contributed greatly to Dragon City.
The dozens of mines he discovered brought spirit energy to Dragon City, which had run out of resources and was about to be devoured by darkness.
As for him, he had been exploring the mines with the thickest spirit energy day after day, year after year. His organs, limbs, and spirit meridians had been nourished by crystals without his knowledge. Besides, he was talented and his cell structure was different, so he managed to become a peerless fighter with the greatest amount of spirit energy in Dragon City.
It was only logical and impeccable for a peerless fighter who had contributed greatly to Dragon City to create the largest mining corporation in Dragon City.
Sky Pillar Corporation's competitor, Universe Corporation, and the other mega corporations that monopolized the other important areas in Dragon City were in a similar situation. They had their reasons for monopolizing the market, and they had objective reasons that were logical or forced upon them.
Hence, when the Red Dragon Army had just been formed and was still in its infancy, it had always accepted the model of the nine mega corporations providing the war resources and military budget.
In other words, the Red Dragon Army only cared about fighting, and the other trivial matters could be handled by the nine great mega corporations!
When Dragon City's civilization was on the brink of death, this model had worked well.
When they faced the threat of the monster horde, the Red Dragon Army and the nine great mega corporations had a long honeymoon period where they were incredibly close and worked together.
But as the Red Dragon Army rose to power, the mega corporations expanded, and their greatest enemy, the monster civilization, collapsed over the past half a year, the situation changed subtly.
