Original God, but the real world

Chapter 177-Attitude
Putting aside the psychological effect of fighting with one's own kind, killing is actually not a very difficult thing.

Mihua City is full of talented people. They can always kill all kinds of people for various reasons, and the means they use are beyond the imagination of normal people. There is nothing this group of talents cannot do.

Because the human body is indeed very fragile.

Also, throughout history, humans have always been more interested in offense than defense.

This also resulted in that, although the essence of the flesh and blood body had not been improved, the attack power of the human species had been soaring.

So killing becomes easier.

"Qi Xing was actually interested in the evil eye before."

Continuing to follow the camp, Ye Lan, who was very dedicated in killing the Fatui, suddenly said.

Jiang Qing paused for a moment, then returned to normal.

Ye Lan didn't seem to notice Jiang Qing's reaction, and just said to herself: "The strength of the Qianyan Army has actually reached a limit."

"The Qianyan Army's weapons and spears are all standard military equipment. You know the benefits of this kind of thing."

The so-called standard weapons and armor are often produced in batches.

According to a conventional standard, everyone can only adapt to this standard.

Unless you move up from an ordinary soldier to a general, you can customize it according to your physique and fighting style.

The advantage is that they are built in batches, which makes them easy to improve.

These Qianyan military equipment are all the masterpieces of craftsmen, that is to say, they can meet both quality and cost requirements under the existing material conditions.

Basically, it is impossible to continue to improve and strengthen it.

Unless the craftsmen serving the Eight Gates are suddenly blessed by God and transformed from ordinary alchemists into geniuses like Albedo, this is already the most affordable and useful version.

According to the game, they are basically three-star weapons and armor.

"Their strength has reached this level and there is no way to improve it anymore." Ye Lan said in a low voice.

A person's strength is nothing more than his physique, armor and skills.

The Qianyan Army has its own training process for physical training, and all of their weapons and armor are standard three-star weapons and armor.

As for skills...it depends purely on the person.

Jiang Qing didn't say anything, he just thought of a very interesting question from his previous life.

About kung fu and bullets.

Skills are passed down from person to person. On the surface, they seem to have a history of hundreds of years, but in fact, it is just one person who laid the foundation, and subsequent people added to and modified it on this basis. Once there is no successor, it will be gone.

For example, the spearmanship practiced by the Qianyan Army can even be traced back to the Demon War period.

It looks like it has a long history, but in fact there have been few improvements.

Although a bullet has a low cost, the required technology requires hundreds of years of scientific progress before it can be mass-produced.

In other words, the cost of martial arts and bullets are actually the opposite.

One person learns and one person teaches, and it seems to be a long-term inheritance, but in fact the time cost is only two or three generations at most.

The cost of a bullet and a gun used to kill these warriors may not seem high, but their development dates back hundreds of years.

"The cultivation of skills depends entirely on the individual." Jiang Qing said calmly, "Most of the Qianyan Army has learned the military fighting techniques that were determined in an earlier period."

"But the fools learn something different."

For a musketeer, what he needs to learn is how to pull the trigger.

One person learned to wield the rifle, and the other learned to pull the trigger.

No matter how Jiang Qing thought about it, he felt that the latter was simpler and more lethal.

The improvement of firearms has changed the entire modern history. Large-scale group combat has basically made individual bravery out of date.

It’s not that it’s useless, but in the context of group combat, individual heroism has completely lost its place.

It is precisely for this reason that the admiration for personal heroism has become increasingly strong.

Everyone knows that a person can only do things relying on the times and the country.

But this does not stop them from longing for a way to transcend limitations and do something that no one else can do.

In short, to show one's holiness before others.

Of course, that was Jiang Qing’s previous life, a world without any supernatural powers.

If it were someone like the old man or Walnut, the situation would be the opposite.

The continent of Teyvat has elemental power, and through the practice of elemental power, one can form an army by oneself, or even suppress an entire country by one person.

Like Osel.

If he were in his prime, instead of being in a weakened state after being sealed for so long, the entire Liyue would not be enough for him to display his abilities.

Even if we don't count these demons, if there are no opponents of the same level to hold them back, it will not be a problem for the immortals like Ganyu and Xiao to plow the entire Inazuma City or Mondstadt twice.

The game still needs a bit of personal heroism.

Nothing in the world can be accomplished without me.

No one in the world can be without me.

Personal heroism will always attract most people.

This is reflected in the game, where the protagonist controlled by the player can use his own strength to crush all kinds of crises that are capable of destroying the world.

This kind of crisis can be resolved, let alone a "mere" one-man enemy country.

But this is a very special situation, and ordinary Qianyan Army does not need to look forward to such a future, because it is completely impossible.

Ordinary soldiers in the seven countries can be regarded as mortals. In this case, upgrading armaments is actually the fastest way to improve combat effectiveness.

But as for the current four countries, they are basically equipped with armor and spears or swords.

With this configuration, there is really no way to defeat the Fatui.

Both are ordinary people who are trained to become soldiers, but the other side uses technology and kryptonian life, while this side uses normal training.

It's normal to be defeated.

It's good that Qixing wants to improve.

"Both the Evil Eye and the armaments of these advance troops are far superior to those of Liyue today."

The old man has 3,700 years of experience in governing. Under his rule, Liyue tends to focus on internal affairs and development and has little interest in fighting.

There's nothing we can do about it.

Weapons and armaments are either for expansion or for defending against enemies.

Expansion... Perhaps among the seven nations, only Zhidong takes such action.

To defend against the enemy, there have been no large-scale wars since the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms of the World.

The only time was with my old friend Kanriya five hundred years ago.

It is normal for Liyue's military to develop slowly as there is no war and no threats.

Kanreya is full of martial virtue, because what they are exposed to is not the right path. They know very well from the beginning that walking on this path will inevitably bring disaster.

They know, they prepare, they perish.

It's quite simple.

"This is an advantage accumulated over time," Jiang Qing tried to organize his words, "No matter what means the Seven Stars use, it is impossible to catch up in a short period of time."

Preparations for the Winter Solstice began five hundred years ago, leading to the power of the Fatui today.

Considering that they are still making progress today, even if Liyue's development is faster, it will take at least a hundred years to catch up, right?
One hundred years...
Ye Lan did not deny Jiang Qing's words.

This kind of gap is the simplest. It is not a question of whether you can do it or not, it is simply because you have not been prepared before.

Theoretically, all the people in the seven countries are human. Excluding geniuses like Dr. Harlequin who suddenly appeared, the talents of normal people fluctuate within a certain range, but the difference is not big.

In this situation, the Fatui started early, so if we want to catch up, we can only delay time and increase investment.

Considering the support of Winter for the Fatui, even if the Seven Stars increase their investment to catch up, their investment will most likely be equal to that of the other party, and they will not be able to surpass the other party's time advantage.

Qixing understands this principle, and Ye Lan also understands it.

When it comes to scientific research, investment may not necessarily bring returns, but if you don't invest, there will definitely be no returns.

To achieve a breakthrough in this area, it all depends on talent and capital.

Funds cannot constitute an advantage, and Zhidong’s investment will not be less than Liyue’s.

The talent gap can be partially filled by improving the training mechanism, but to be honest, people like Doctor, Rhinedort or Harlequin cannot be completely relied upon for training by any training mechanism.

The doctor came from the Council of State, but when he betrayed the Council of State, he was alone in exploring new research directions.

No one is on the same path as he was back then.

His method of conducting experiments was very simple.

Get projects from mentors, complete the projects to gain Mora and resources, and then invest the resources in your own research.

Most people need to wait for the teacher's guidance and instruction, but he can complete the task perfectly by himself, and this is just his side job, just a little free time he uses to support his research.

In the end, his research was recognized by the Harlequin, and in the future, he was invited back by the sages.

They did not approve of the doctor's character, but they had to acknowledge his talent.

Comparing the story of Ailani, who walked all the way from Mondstadt back to Xumi, and finally gave up completely and hired a treasure-stealing group to imprison her, we can actually get an answer.

Talent is something that you really can't deny.

It can be said that Ailani's failure had a lot to do with luck, but seriously speaking, if she was really talented, she wouldn't have to travel to four countries.

"So there is only one way to win, find a genius, or a group of geniuses." This was Jiang Qing's answer.

If you want to overtake on a curve and catch up with your opponent's time advantage, the only way is to wait, wait for God to send down two or three geniuses.

Jiang Qing couldn't find any other solution.

Scientific research is the simplest and most hardcore thing.

Whether it can be done depends on resources and investment, as well as personal talent.

You spend the money, you get talent to join, and then you have the hope of catching up.

Ye Lan looked silent.

How to describe the various gaps?

"Have you considered mechanical engineering?"

People have been playing on the old track for so long that if we really want to compete, it’s either that we can’t win or that it’s a little too difficult.

So why not try a different track?

"In terms of mechanical engineering, Liyue has its own top master."

"I don't understand alchemy and mechanical engineering, so I won't consider the integration of the two. But at least as far as mechanical engineering itself is concerned, Liyue's mechanical engineering still has a lot of room for development."

Jiang Qing could actually understand Ye Lan and Qi Xing's choices.

Anyone who has a high degree of recognition of his own country will choose to use various methods to strengthen his country when he finds that his country has opponents and enemies.

Previously, because of the existence of Morax, Liyue had no enemies.

But after what happened to Osel, they gradually realized that maybe Morax's Liyue had no enemies, but that might not be the case for Qixing's Liyue.

So they began to weigh how to strengthen Liyue from various aspects.

Jiang Qing could understand, so he did not dissuade them from doing their useless work.

According to his understanding of the hero's story, if the previous Teyvat still needed to climb the technology tree, then since the appearance of Ying, everyone can start to lie down.

Any heroic story is inseparable from two people: the evil devil who wants to destroy the world or has other purposes, and the hero who is bored and makes a living by destroying the devil's ideals but always stands on the side of justice.

It doesn't have to be a demon king, it can also be a simple disaster.

In short, with destruction and salvation as the core, the story begins to develop rapidly.

An entire heroic story sounds quite long, but in fact it is only described on the timeline within a few years.

What are a few years?
Morax ruled for 3,700 years and lived for more than 6,000 years.

But in just a few short years, the story will soar and then completely go off the track.

For mortals, any efforts faced with such troubles are actually... a waste of effort.

If Jiang Qing did not have the extra-curricular conditions of the system, the only choice he would make would be to find the most peaceful country and leave his fate to Ying.

Mond is fine.

With so many version changes, and only a few countries experiencing various crises, Mondstadt has been celebrating various festivals.

if not?
It's just traveling through seven countries. In terms of the timeline, the story should come to an end in a few years at most.

And from the Seven Rulings to Phanes, the ceiling of Teyvat's problems is obviously still soaring.

So, what kind of development speed can enable a country that can only barely deal with the devil to have the power to control its own destiny in the future?

No more.

It is hard to say what the outcome will be, but in terms of time, the efforts of Ye Lan Ningguang and the others are not even worth mentioning.

Because it doesn't matter, their efforts have nothing to do with the outcome of the story.

This is what Jiang Qing thought, but when Ye Lan asked him about it, he put this assumption aside and really thought about the problem from their perspective.

Even if it takes a hundred years, we must have the weapons that the enemy has, and they must be better.

Standing on this standpoint, Jiang Qing gave his own suggestions.

Still looking for a homegirl.

In a way, the nerds of Teyvat all possess magical technical abilities, whether it's Lei's technology of creating intelligent life forms out of nothing, or this True Monarch Liuyunjiefeng who practices in seclusion in a cave.

If Lei's film technology still has some of Kanriya's flavor, then the mechanical technology of Master Liuyunjiefeng should not have such hidden dangers.

After all, mechanical technology has already existed during the Demon War. She can't possibly be connected to the future Kanriya, right?

"You really do trust the immortals." Ye Lan chuckled, "If possible, I would also like to seek the truth from the immortals."

"But I'm afraid that Master Liuyunjiefeng doesn't have such patience."

Sometimes Jiang Qing is more like one of the immortals than Gan Yu. He always expresses his trust in the immortals and does not mind relying on them at all.

"I've always felt that it's not wrong to admit one's own powerlessness." Jiang Qing spoke casually.

"As for the results, you made the decision to separate the immortals from the humans."

"Since you have made this choice, you naturally have to take responsibility."

Jiang Qing and Ningguang's plan at the time was to lure the immortal into the game.

Anyway, no matter how they thought about it, they didn't think that this group of immortals seemed to be able to patiently deal with the trivialities of mortals.

In the end, the control of this city will still be in the hands of Qixing.

Oh, maybe it wasn’t called the Seven Stars at that time, but that didn’t affect the fact that they had mastered the essence of power.

As long as the immortal does not intend to seize all power, Ningguang is confident that she can return to the throne.

The saddest time in her life has passed. As time goes by, the world will only become more gentle and will no longer show the grinning scene of her childhood.

But in the end, both she and Jiang Qing lost.

The immortals retreated and left Liyue Harbor completely.

Although they will definitely jump out again when Liyue is in danger.

But after all, the relationship between everyone was really completely severed.

Liyue Harbor also became a so-called human city.

A human city naturally does not need the intervention of immortals.

Since there is no need, then you don't have to look for immortals.

According to Jiang Qing's own feeling, this was a victory in face, but a loss in essence.

Even if they acknowledged it as the immortals' city, they themselves would not really hold all the power if the old man were still alive.

In return for bowing your head for the sake of face, you can directly "drive" the immortal most of the time.

But many things are actually a matter of face. You can lose your foundation but you cannot lose your face.

Ye Lan smiled and did not argue with Jiang Qing.

What can I say about their identities? They know a lot, but can't do much.

Ye Lan is Ningguang's intelligence officer, and her power comes entirely from Ningguang.

Jiang Qing didn't work in Liyue at all. If it weren't for the old man's divine power that gave him a certain status, he wouldn't be qualified to comment on the selection of the Seven Stars.

What they discussed was just a conversation when they were bored.

As for whether it will be realized... Jiang Qing can say with certainty that it will not.

The story goes back to the beginning, and we still have to bow to the immortal.

The threat posed by the Fatui is not yet to this extent.

The old man is not dead after all.

He claimed that he had faked his death, but in fact all the Seven Stars knew his identity.

This alone greatly reduces the threat posed by the Fatui.

No one is really worried about the Fatui or Solstice declaring war on Liyue, because Morax is still alive.

When the external threat is not strong enough, the importance of face issues can be so strong that a person cannot understand it at all.

Jiang Qing has verified this many times.

The Fatui compromised with Jiang Qing because Jiang Qing was no longer a threat to the Fatui's plans. In Inazuma, he even dominated the Fatui's plans.

The threat level increased, so when there was no sure-kill method, the attitude softened.

When there is no threat, the solution is much simpler and more brutal.
