Chapter 104 Seeking Aid
After a conversation.
Xu Yuan made three requests of the people he was to bring.
1. Ideological standards must be met.
In fact, the higher-ups valued this point even more than he did.
After all, if the people sent are not steadfast in their beliefs, problems could easily arise.
The most crucial passage between the two realms and the means of transportation are all in the hands of [the entity whose true nature is unknown].
If the people they send cause unpleasantness between the two sides, they will have gained nothing in the end.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if you lack ability, but you must be firm in your mind.
2. Strong comprehensive abilities are required.
Xu Yuan only planned to bring three people.
Therefore, one must be well-versed in a specific field, but also have some knowledge of other fields, and not be completely ignorant.
Moreover, one must possess both theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
It places greater emphasis on practical skills.
Because theoretical knowledge can be acquired through books.
It's okay if we're a little lacking in this area for now.
The most important thing is to be able to get things done and to know how to adapt to local conditions and the times.
Of course, a solid foundation in theoretical knowledge is even better.
In such a large country with over a billion people and decades of universal education, there are quite a few talents like this.
It's simply a matter of varying skill levels.
Supporting the development of an agricultural society does not actually require highly skilled personnel.
In fact, sometimes highly skilled talent may not be as useful as a well-rounded talent with basic skills.
For example, a scientist who studies cutting-edge international technologies might not be as good as an excellent science teacher when asked to do popular science.
3. Voluntary.
Xu Yuan made it very clear to the higher-ups that once they went to the world of "Claymore," he would not let them return unless he felt the time was right, or they were about to die and wanted to return to their roots before they died.
At most, I'll just help them carry letters when I travel between the two worlds in the future.
Or perhaps a voice message, a video message, or something similar.
Perhaps they will stay in the world of Claymore for several years or even more than a decade, so it must be voluntary.
Being unwilling is bad for everyone.
However, time flows at different rates in the two worlds.
The ratio is approximately 1:24.
An hour passes here, a day passes there.
A month passes here, two years pass there.
So even if they stayed there for many years, by the time they returned, not much time might have passed in the real world.
In addition, if things go smoothly, he can try to help them extend their lifespan.
Theoretically, life expectancy could be extended to approximately 150 years.
The downside is that your appearance will change to some extent, becoming somewhat strange. If you mind, you can get plastic surgery.
It has to be said that everyone was shocked when Xu Yuan announced this news.
Extending lifespan?!
150 years old?!
Although almost everyone believed that there must be a way to extend lifespan in the supernatural world, it still shocked everyone when it actually appeared.
Without a doubt, if this news were to get out, human society would likely go crazy.
Especially those powerful and wealthy people whose days are numbered.
The above three points are the requirements put forward by Xu Yuan.
In addition, he needs more than just three professionals; he needs a large amount of assistance.
From agriculture to industry, from people's livelihood to military affairs.
If we compare ideological construction to software and social production to hardware...
Xu Yuan's plan is to focus on software development.
As for the hardware, a framework will suffice; the main support will come from aid, including supplies and production equipment.
The main focus is on efficiency.
We aim to transform the island within a few years.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
Regardless of whether the transformation is thorough or stable.
Even if the social structure is temporarily distorted, that's fine.
He has to win first before he can talk about the rest.
Currently, the timeline of the Claymore world should be around the year when Theresa and Claire met.
There might be a deviation of one or two years.
After that, Claire spent about ten years becoming a Claymore in the story.
It took about a year for the war to break out in the north, which began with the rise of the Great Swordsman.
He then went into hiding for seven years before descending the mountain and taking down the organization.
It's been eighteen years in total.
Subtracting one or two years of deviation, let's say it's sixteen years.
Although it's unclear exactly where the end of time will be in the Claymore world, there are at least sixteen years left.
This period of time is not short, but it is not very long either.
Moreover, this is only an optimistic estimate.
Because it could be noticed by the world's will at any time.
Who knows what will happen then?
However, he probably couldn't eliminate him directly.
Otherwise, the risk would be too great, and the system wouldn't just give him a substitute doll that can't be resurrected across worlds.
Although it sounds strange, Xu Yuan had a vague feeling that those so-called world wills seemed to follow certain rules.
It's supposed to be a deity, which is a bit strange.
In short, he didn't have time to develop independently step by step; he had to arm the population at his disposal as quickly as possible and turn them into his own power.
"Let me make a bold guess," an old man said, "Are you planning to use the manpower on that island, combined with the resources of modern society, to conquer that world?"
"More or less." Xu Yuan nodded.
"So, what do we get in return?"
The state is an interest group that represents the interests of its citizens.
Although decision-makers are human and cannot be completely rational, they certainly do not act arbitrarily based on their personal ideas.
Xu Yuan had already considered this question from the other party.
Although he can pay.
Whether he uses the healing potions he has or tries to get longevity potions later, he can squeeze a hefty sum out of those powerful and wealthy people.
Then they used that money to pay the bill.
Money is important, but compared to truly valuable things, it seems to have limited significance.
Xu Yuan said calmly, "If I said I would pay, it would make me seem a little stingy."
"Besides, some things can't be bought with money."
"If I only pay, you will definitely hold back and not go all out."
"Cooperation is all about achieving a win-win situation."
"I can't let you win too little either."
"I can share some of the extraordinary knowledge I gained from that world with you, how about it?"
"Only a part?"
"I'm not clear on the specifics, and perhaps there are some things that are not suitable for others to know."
Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances.
[Unclear] They really do say whatever comes to mind.
Because it's possible that we can't do it, so we can't guarantee it?
However, such people are undoubtedly more trustworthy.
At the very least, he is seriously considering sharing.
Instead of harboring the idea of crossing the river and then destroying the bridge.
In fact, the biggest risk of this investment is whether [the entity whose true nature is unclear] will abandon us after we've served our purpose.
"What's in that world?"
"The anti-air formation prevents me from flying any higher than 10,000 meters; the defensive array can generate a protective shield with a radius of several hundred meters."
