In fact, just like the ordinary residents of the Iron City, these scholars who joined the Steel City were obviously divided into several factions. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Some of them are centered on pure academic research, some are centered on leading the times and protecting humanity, and some are naturally self-centered.

The City of Steel itself does not show any stance or inclination, but only provides these scholars with the most cutting-edge equipment, the most crazy technology, and at the same time reveals the most terrifying truths.

In addition to the requirement that too cutting-edge technology not be leaked, the City of Steel has no restrictions on these scholars who join the spire to participate in research, and they can implement their own ideas with their own hands.

Of course, for some people who violate the ban, the Iron City will also impose severe sanctions, and no one has slipped through the net so far.

In fact, with the emergence of a large number of illusions, especially some scientific and technological illusions, the scientific research progress of secret research institutions in many countries can be said to be showing leaps and bounds.

It's just that compared to the steel city, the level of science and technology in the real world is still too far behind, after all, science is not a castle in the air, it needs a certain foundation, not to get a drawing, or a textbook, you can read the book.

The Iron City has condensed the essence of a fantasy plane, and its foundation is incomparably solid to develop so quickly.

Ling Qi actually doesn't care if some technologies will be leaked, but in order to avoid too much trouble and appear early, there is nothing wrong with preparing more!

Moreover, the steel city strictly adheres to the bottom line, which also contributes to the cohesion and unity of the residents.

After all, the basic rules of the Steel City are too loose, and humans are complex creatures, and it will never be possible to subdue people's hearts by grace alone.

God's grace is like the sea, and God's power is like hell!

There is an example from the front, and there is a reference for the later!

After brutally dealing with the few people who violated the ban, most of the remaining people not only did not deviate from morality, but took the initiative to unite under the banner of the Iron God, and they were all willing to abide by that criterion!

Compared to most organizations in this world, the rules of the City of Steel are as generous as they are not.

As for those taboos, most people can understand them, and in their eyes, they are just a human nature.

Even, some people with high ideological consciousness still idealize that this is the protection of human beings.

After all, except for the Iron City, there has never been a force that, after mastering such a powerful force, will not invade the weak!

On the earth, in history, and even in modern civilized society, there has never been a person who does not eat the weak, but the means are different and the whitewash is different!

Everyone has desires, and the group composed of human beings, of course, also has collective desires, which can also be said to be collective spirit. There is no group whose ultimate goal is to harm itself and others, otherwise such a group will certainly not last. Whether it is to the detriment of others and self-interest, or to benefit others and oneself, self-interest is the fundamental!

When it is not feasible to benefit others and benefit oneself, the implementation of that strategy can only lose more than gain, and only then will the benefit of others and self-interest appear.

If it is already able to dominate the world, which country is willing to take a corner of peace?

Clear-headed people know that it is not the improvement of the quality of spiritual civilization that brings peace, but nuclear deterrence!

Because they don't want to end up together, countries have to change their way of warfare and settle disputes through seemingly more civilized methods, not because they don't want to invade, but because they can't afford to invade.

Provoking a war outweighs the cost, so there is no war.

If it weren't for this, a world war would have started long ago as various resources became increasingly strained. Isn't it true that some small countries are bullied because they occupy a lot of resources and are unable to protect them?

Relying purely on civilization to maintain peace, not to mention impossible, even if it succeeds by luck, it is extremely fragile!

So it is deterrence and balance that brings peace, not humanity itself.

The science and technology of the Steel City are completely enough to upset the balance of the whole world, and even make nuclear deterrence no longer!

Once a large amount leaks out, it will definitely not bring the progress and development of civilization, but a new war!

Ling Qi doesn't care about those, he is an aggressor himself, but uninformed scholars can think about it like that, it can be regarded as a mistake.

In fact, in the City of Steel, it is those pure scholars who can really touch the core secrets inside!

They don't care about any external influence, they just keep their heads down in their own research. This is certainly a madman in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is undoubtedly the most needed talent for any organization, including the City of Steel!

The rest of the scholars, all with their own positions, whether their goals are noble or not, there will always be times when they are unreliable, so they are only responsible for those peripheral secret explorations that seem to be important. These people often clash with each other.

For example, this old man, named Chen Guangrong, regarded the research of the Steel City as an opportunity to benefit human society. The City of Steel has been regarded by him as the most advanced scientific research institution on the entire earth, and he does not think that he is serving the City of Steel, but is fighting for the future of mankind.

The little man Zhang Mu is an outright egoist. If it weren't for the fact that the supervision power of the Steel City was too terrifying, Zhang Mu might not dare to sell the research technology to dignitaries from all over the world in large quantities, as long as the other party could afford the price.

However, even a person like Zhang Mu knows that those characters with heads and faces can't offer a higher price than Steel City!

The various interests that nations are now rushing to are like stones on the side of the road in the city of steel. This makes a villain like Zhang Mu very happy to continue to live in the Steel City. The change in the world is obvious, Zhang Mu doesn't want to save the world, he just hopes that he can live well enough. Then backing such a strong organization is undoubtedly the wisest choice!

Those who can stay in the City of Steel have their own reasons regardless of their position and goals.

In the city of steel, Wang Xiaoshun stood expressionlessly in front of the huge scrolling screen in the square, looking at the refreshed subtitles on the pages.

Ninety percent of these are quests waiting to be completed, of which exploration still accounts for the majority, but there are fewer secret realms to explore and more realistic ones than they did a few years ago.

The tasks released on the platform are roughly divided into two types, one is directly released by the official, involving the secret realm to be explored, or the real resource point, which is likely to be virgin land, with huge value and no small risk.

The other part is a private release, which is not limited to exploration, but also trivial. Most of these exploration missions are forwarded by individuals or groups who find that they are unable to complete the official tasks, or that the cost of completing the tasks is too great, or find someone to cooperate.

These missions often mean trouble, but because someone has probed the way, there is no longer ignorance of the mission, and there is more specific and relevant information.

And if you receive a task forwarded by others, there is often a private contribution compensation from the task publisher. After all, for those people, this kind of unfinished task is a burden, and after a long time, the task will fail, and the contribution will be deducted, so it is better to take the initiative to spend some and seek help as soon as possible, so as to get out.

Therefore, the contribution rewards for completing that kind of task may be more than when it was officially released, and those who think they have strength can be specially selected.

There is also a small set of quests, which, unlike all of the above, come from inside several minarets.

The number of tasks is extremely rare, and compared with regular tasks, it is negligible, and there are often requirements for the task taker beyond strength, the most common is the requirement of contribution level!

What Wang Xiaoshun is looking for is precisely the very few tasks!

Otherwise, with his seniority, status, and contribution level in the Iron City, there would be no need to do ordinary tasks at all.

In recent years, the Iron God has turned from darkness to light, and the call has gradually become louder. But probably even those believers couldn't have imagined that Wang Xiaoshun, who usually lives in the same city as them, and Wang Xiaoshun, one of the few liberals who became one of the settlers, was still following the "God of Steel" seven or eight years ago!

The god of steel, for believers, is a god, and for enemies, it is also a mysterious devil, but for Wang Xiaoshun, it is half an acquaintance, half an acquaintance who has always been unable to see through him!

"There it is!"

After a while, Wang Xiaoshun's eyes lit up, and he found the task he wanted!

The content of the mission is to complete a deep-sea exploration, which is probably near the Pacific Ocean, and requires an individual with a contribution level of B or above, or a team of C or above to receive it, and the rewards are expensive, and the number of people is not limited.

Wang Xiaoshun didn't go for the reward, so he didn't hesitate to accept it on his personal platform!

Over the years, Wang Xiaoshun has not given up on breaking away from the steel city, and has always been working hard for this goal.

It's a pity that he is different after all, and he knows that he can't leave the city with a ticket like everyone else!

Now, there is an opportunity in front of him!

Wang Xiaoshun remembered the guy who found him before, the activist of the die-hard faction who had quarreled with him in public!

He thought coldly, probably even the "God of Steel" couldn't have imagined that there was such a figure hidden among his disciples!

Unfortunately, he no longer had the ambition to take revenge on the "Iron God", and he knew that the distance between him and the man would only get farther and farther away.

Regarding the plan of the powerful actor, Wang Xiaoshun actually scoffed a little.

Regardless of whether this "God of Steel" is a true god or a false god, the power he wields is beyond the imagination of ordinary people or even the so-called high-level people in secular countries!

The City of Steel is like a holy place in some Xianxia novels, independent of the world, and not affected by secular forces!

You must know that seven or eight years ago, that man was already comparable to a level 5 ability in this world!

Now, how strong should he be?

In this world, how many level 5 abilities are there now?

In the Iron City, how many level 5 abilities are there?

The naked data, once it is revealed, is enough to wake up some naïve guys from their fantasies.

Wang Xiaoshun just wanted to take the opportunity to leave the city, not really wanted to do something big together, so he didn't mean to remind him at all. In fact, even if he said it, the other party would not believe it. As for what will happen to those people after they fail, and how that man will retaliate, it has nothing to do with him!

He didn't have much ambition anymore, only a little hope for freedom.
