Why not have an iron rice bowl system at the base?

The reason is simple: scarcity makes things valuable. If class antagonism were to emerge, it would only complicate matters further.

...

On October 4th, 12 flying ships of the Okshung Federation suddenly crossed the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea to the east, for unknown reasons, entering the territory of the Moduo Da United Republic.

The two countries engaged in fierce battle in the Usabekistan region of northern Mordo.

Ultimately, the Okshung Federation was completely annihilated.

On October 8th, the Okshung Federation dispatched another 16 flying ships into the area.

In the end, only 2 escaped, while the rest were all destroyed.

Dramatically, just two days later, on the morning of October 10th, the Okshung Federation and the Moduo Da United Republic issued a joint statement, announcing the establishment of friendly cooperative relations.

No one knew about the battles, and even fewer knew the details of the cooperation.

Upon receiving this news, the Huaguo Assembly held a day-long meeting, ultimately yielding no results.

Everyone was baffled by what these two mysterious super-polities were up to.

When Oriental Chen received this news, he initially found it somewhat unbelievable, but quickly sensed something unusual.

He was unaware of the two previous battles between Okshung and Mordo. He only vaguely felt that their target might be Huaguo or himself.

Moreover, it was more likely that they were targeting him.

This was because he had just eliminated over a dozen Okshung flying ships at the Alien Life Research Institute in Krastov Oblast a while ago.

And the conflict with Mordo had also been long-standing.

This was a reasonable explanation for why they could unite.

Sure enough, three days later, on October 13th, Okshung's warships traversed the airspace of Mordo and Olos Country, arriving at Lake Baikal and stationing themselves at Kudara on the eastern shore of the lake.

It was confirmed; they were here for revenge.

During this time, Oriental Chen had Xiao Lin decipher an Atis stasis pod and conducted a comprehensive analysis.

And guess what?

The being hibernating inside was indeed not human.

They had large heads, pointed chins, exceptionally large and protruding eyes.

Their arms and legs were very slender.

They were hairless, with grayish-green bodies, and many parts of their surface were covered in wrinkles.

If Xiao Lin hadn't told him that this was from the Atis Civilization 300 million years ago, he would have, like those Olos scientists, classified them as extraterrestrial beings.

Perhaps because the stasis pod was forcibly opened in a semi-violent manner, the Atis inside died within a few minutes.

The liquid in the stasis pod was also analyzed for its composition.

Most of it consisted of high-molecular compounds, which Xiao Lin speculated were nutrients to maintain their bodies' normal functioning.

As for how the stasis pod could contain such a large amount of nutrients, enough to sustain them for hundreds of years, this question relates to the function of the stasis pod itself.

In reality, the stasis pod did not contain that much nutrient material, but rather, through a special design, formed a completely enclosed circulatory system.

The body's waste products were reprocessed to form new nutrients for them to absorb, thus creating a closed loop.

The total amount of matter in the entire circulatory system did not increase or decrease; instead, it continuously circulated between the inside and outside of the body. However, energy loss would occur during circulation, and this lost energy was replenished by the small nuclear battery at the bottom of the stasis pod.

To minimize loss as much as possible, the metabolism of these hibernators was extremely slow.

This design was absolutely brilliant, and the technical requirements were extremely high.

Now, with the Okshung Federation's warships arriving at Lake Baikal, there's no doubt they're here to cause trouble for him.

Valetov was startled when he learned that Okshung's warships had arrived in the North Siberia region.

Although his usual style was to confront things head-on, times were different now, and he didn't have the capital to do so.

So, he contacted Oriental Chen immediately.

"Mr. Valetov, I apologize. Unless Okshung's warships enter the Ulan Neutral Zone, I will not intervene."

Oriental Chen knew that the other party's target was himself, but it wouldn't hurt to take advantage of the situation.

"Oh, in that case, it's easy. Mr. Dongfang, from now on, I will gift Brit Oblast to you free of charge. Official documents will be sent shortly." Valetov was decisive.

Brit Oblast is located on the eastern shore of Lake Baikal and has 350,000 square kilometers of land.

"..." Oriental Chen was speechless.

His purpose in taking advantage was just to make Valetov remember his favor; he never really intended to gain anything.

Originally, this matter was caused by Oriental Chen himself, but now, without doing anything, his territory had expanded significantly.

Kudara is located in Brit Oblast.

This meant that the Okshung Federation's warships were now stationed within the Ulan Neutral Zone.

Valetov was a man of his word.

Soon after, he issued a public announcement to all countries worldwide.

Mordo: ...

Okshung: ...

Huaguo Assembly: ...

What kind of maneuvers are these? Does diverting trouble eastward really cost so much?

This decision caught the Okshung Federation off guard.
