Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

He wanted to try other methods while ensuring a minimum return.

He already had a plan in mind for this.

But all of this was unknown to Xin Hai and the others.

From Xin Hai's perspective, she still faced a certain death.

All they are doing now is trying their best to improve themselves, taking a gamble, and hoping to seize the opportunity when it arises.

But how exactly can we break free from this seemingly inescapable predicament...?

"See, you understand this problem too, right?"

Seeing that Xin Hai remained silent, Jiang Ming continued to press his advantage.

"Even if you do nothing now, you'll still die in the end. That was destined from the very beginning."

"Isn't this the dead end? General Thunder is an insurmountable obstacle. If we want to live, even if we don't take her out, we must at least talk to the real thing—Thunder Movie—to have any hope."

"How are you going to get Lei Yingdian out of her sanctuary of pure heart? Given our status as the resistance army, General Lei will just strike us down the moment we meet. We should just give up on our illusions."

"So after going around in circles, we've come back to our previous topic: how to make them take this into consideration, including but not limited to approaching it from multiple angles, such as from our own perspective or from the perspective of others."

"The machinery and equipment in the industrial park, and the research results in the Ocean Science Academy, are both our hope for gaining greater strength and our bargaining chips for exchanging strength and help from others."

Xin Hai recalled the descriptions of human power in those documents.

What was it called again? The essential power of humanity?

Unlike using human power or training muscles, which rely on one's own body, this is like the eye of God. Through an external organ, it allows a power that was originally beyond human control to be controlled by a person and become part of that power.

Those machines can also be considered as external organs of the human body, extensions of human organs. For example, mechanical clamps are extensions of human fingers, and telescopes are extensions of human eyes.

From this perspective, those machines are essentially no different from the Eye of God, only in form.

If people use these machines to acquire related powers and continue to develop them, can they obtain powers no different from those of gods?

Based on the description of that terrifying weapon called "nuclear bomb," Xin Hai believed it was possible.

Not to mention the changes that guns, as a new type of weapon, have already brought about.

This one thing alone has made the Sea God Army completely different from what it used to be.

“These machines are different from the traditional Eye of God. The Eye of God can be obtained and operated by one person; but these machines require the cooperation and division of labor among people. In order to achieve the division of labor and cooperation to complete production, people must inevitably develop certain relationships.”

"Regarding the relationship between the relations of production and the productive forces, you can refer to the previous sections, which provide a detailed description, so I won't go into too much detail," Jiang Ming said, pointing to the document in Xin Hai's hand.

"A well-balanced set of production relations can cause the rate of productivity development to rise as rapidly as if it were on a rocket, and that is exactly what we need."

"So at this point, our logic is quite clear: to survive, we need to gain more power, and to do so, developing productivity becomes a necessity; to rapidly develop productivity and adapt to it, we must inevitably make a thorough transformation of the old system and the old relations of production."

"That's why I'm telling you all this today. Perhaps you don't care about the poor at the bottom of society, or those who died in the disaster, but you do care about yourselves and the life and death of Haiqi Island, right?"

Jiang Ming glanced at Wu Lang, then turned to look at Xin Hai.

"Xin Hai, you don't want Hai Zhi Island to become a new Musou Blade Crossing under General Raiden's Musou attack, do you?"

Hmm? That's strange, something feels off about what I'm saying.

"It must be said that we must admit that our goals are different. I hope that the people of Inazuma can be liberated, I hope that no one will ever encounter what I did in Inazuma Castle, and I want that red flag to fly high once again in this strange world that is different from mine. I hope that everyone can be a free person and an equal person."

"This may indeed be irrelevant to you, and you may even want to laugh at his naivety, but that doesn't matter."

"The important thing is that the paths we need to take overlap. I need to liberate and develop productive forces to achieve my goals, to liberate people and make their lives better, and for you, there is also Goro."

Jiang Ming turned his head to look at Goro, who had barely said a word since the beginning and was practically invisible.

"Huh? Me?" Goro looked up from the documents, his face full of questions.

"What does it have to do with me? I'm just a soldier, I'll just listen to whatever Xin Hai says."

Jiang Ming sighed silently to himself.

He knew that Goro only obeyed Shinkai and completely followed Shinkai's opinions.

His next move ultimately rests on his own mind.

"If you want Umijima to survive, if you want the people of Umijima to live better, and if you don't want to become scapegoats for the shogunate, this is your only option right now."

Yes, for now.

Anyway, what Jiang Ming said so far isn't exactly a lie.

As for Xin Hai, she understood Jiang Ming's intention upon hearing this.

He wanted to carry out a radical reform.

Reforms were carried out according to his plan and in accordance with his wishes, to adapt to the machines and to enable people to live better lives.

This will be an even bigger operation than the ones we've done before, even...

Xin Hai looked at the document in his hand again.

If this content were to spread to any country... well, maybe Mondstadt is an exception, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar.

Jiang Ming handed them this document and talked to them so much; there's no doubt that he hopes to use its contents as a basis for reform, and he's trying to gain their support.

Reforms based on this shocking content will inevitably overturn past traditions and bring many unknown risks.

But the benefits it brought were rapid development, and most importantly, the hope of breaking the deadlock and gaining a chance to survive.

Xin Hai found this condition quite tempting.

After all, they didn't have many chips to play.

Rather than waiting for final death, it's better to think of another way and try, no matter how shocking the method may be.

Even if the two sides have some differences in their ultimate goals, at least for now, they are not in conflict?

In terms of the methods they choose, the two seem to have many similarities.

And the most important thing is...

Coral Palace, which has just purged a group of extremists, and Haigi Island, which has converted a large number of its population into so-called "industrial population," seem to have the foundation to implement most of these measures.

"I roughly understand your thoughts. Tell me, what kind of reforms do you hope to implement, and how do you need my support?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Very good!

Once those words were spoken, and the person relented, they had already agreed to most of the terms.

"First, we need to establish a new organization in which we need to clarify which class we are led by, which class we serve, our goals, propositions, and vision for development... With these as the core, in our world we would call it a political party, a social group with specific political ideologies."

"...Is this really necessary?" Xin Hai looked up at Jiang Ming. "Wouldn't it be simpler to just issue the relevant orders or make the corresponding changes through the Coral Palace?"

"This is different. The Coral Palace is just an administrative body, more like a tool; while the political party functions more like a brain, playing a leading role. It is important who leads the Coral Palace."

Jiang Ming thought for a moment and then used an explanation that was as easy to understand as possible.

"What I'm doing now is letting the brains of the majority lead the Coral Palace. As I said before, the history of human society is driven by the majority. Letting the majority come and unleash their power will be the key to our development."

The sea of ​​thoughts remained silent.

This means that their stance will be automatically switched to the stance of the "majority" on Haizhi Island.

However, Xin Hai didn't care; she valued Hai Zhi Island as a whole more.

From this perspective, she has always represented the position of the "majority".

However, she suddenly thought of the "mutual aid groups" in the factory.

"You must have been planning this for a long time, right?"

Jiang Ming was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, before realizing what Xin Hai was really saying.

“You mean those… Yes, that was my initial plan. I originally thought it would take a long time to build up strength, but I didn’t expect it to be so fast. These groups share the same philosophy, so they can be directly converted after the organization is officially established.”

Xin Hai nodded slowly and said nothing more.

"Then I'll continue talking about this organization."

"Our philosophy..."

"Our goal..."

"nature……"

"The process of joining and leaving..."

One by one, they were gradually improved.

Xin Hai initially showed little interest, but gradually began to actively participate.

"Considering that the enemy is too powerful at present, and much of the content is not suitable for public release, I suggest a tiered approach. Some content should only be circulated among senior members, while content involving deities should only be circulated among the three of us. Our purpose in making this public is to serve the people wholeheartedly."

"Our organization is called ICP."

Chapter 94 The Lively Scene

Jiang Ming and Xin Hai's group discussed their next steps in the Coral Palace. Hai Zhi Island was also quite lively at the moment.

Yesterday's battle took place in almost all the major densely populated areas of the Coral Palace controlled zone. Whether you were sleeping at home or working the night shift in a factory, you could hear gunshots and explosions.

Those closer could even hear shouts of killing and the sounds of large-scale human activity.

Aside from a few people who were sound asleep and woke up completely bewildered, almost everyone knew about the large-scale battle that took place last night and was discussing it among themselves.

Such hot topics are always a juicy topic among people, especially on Haigi Island where there is currently little entertainment.

Take, for example, the factory now.

"Hey, now that we're able to come out and go home, the fighting must be almost over. So, who do you think has the upper hand now?"

"Isn't that obvious? If we're at a disadvantage, why would we be allowed to go home?"

"That's hard to say. What if we repelled a small raid? There are over 20,000 rebels. How could we possibly wipe them out in one night?"

The worker who spoke first looked back at the clock on the wall. It was just past eight o'clock, more than an hour earlier than usual when he was supposed to finish get off work.
