The Darkening Rabbits

How the old Chinese leaders had reached an agreement with Wakanda, and what methods they had used to obtain vibranium, was not something Chen Mu needed to worry about.

Once he learned that vibranium could be obtained easily in the future, Chen Mu was extremely pleased.

This meant that they would no longer lack a material like vibranium.

Thor’s Spear would have been stronger if it had been forged from vibranium, but material constraints had forced Chen Mu to settle for high-strength alloys instead.

As a result, its power had been reduced, and the Thor’s lightning power its user could wield was not actually that formidable.

Now that they had enough vibranium, however, it was undoubtedly good news for Chen Mu.

"The Dimensional Gate will remain open. Zheng Xian has also been ordered to assist that world in establishing a God Spear Bureau of its own. The God Spear Bureau’s role will be to safeguard China’s security and defend against threats from the future, outer space, and even other worlds."

Humanity was not the only intelligent race in the universe. There were countless advanced civilizations in outer space.

Once those civilizations reached Earth, they would undoubtedly pose a threat to humanity.

The old leaders all possessed a sense of vigilance in times of peace, let alone now, when they were already trapped in dire straits.

There was no peace at all. They were in danger at every moment.

They had only just driven the foreign invaders from their homeland. After learning that countless other civilizations existed in outer space, they had naturally been eager to establish a powerful organization.

They sought to protect their people.

They did not want to see their compatriots left utterly unable to fight back when facing powerful enemies again.

In short, China in 1943 was working to establish a complete industrial foundation. With technological support from the Main World, that was quite easy for them.

Chinese people always hoped to rely on their own strength and did not expect help from others. But if the other party was one of their own, another Chinese person, there was no need to stand on ceremony.

They shared the same roots, and the world of 1943 really was the "grandfather generation" of the Main World, so they accepted all kinds of technological aid with peace of mind.

Of course, certain matters of principle could not be changed. The old leaders would not accept aid for nothing; they proactively offered resources in exchange, treating it as a purchase.

For example, vibranium, which only Wakanda possessed.

At this time, the old leaders had had their warrior genes awakened by the invaders. A large number of them even held other ideas.

With powerful strength backing them, they did not need to worry about what methods they used.

There was a saying among this generation.

They would rather bear infamy themselves than deny their descendants a good life.

The rabbits of this era had already been on the verge of turning dark. When they saw that countries like America and Japan had gained strong economic foundations after the war, with their citizens living comfortably,

they could not help but envy them. So, in order for their own descendants to receive the same treatment and live well, they chose to stop at nothing.

As a victorious nation, they had ended up impoverished after the war, while Japan, a defeated nation, could openly enjoy the dividends brought by war.

Why?

There were still many people of insight in this era, and there were also those who favored war. The country was currently impoverished and bare-handed, and those with nothing had nothing to fear. Unlike China in later generations, they did not need to consider so many issues.

Later generations had to restrain themselves to prevent the fruits of their predecessors’ efforts from going to waste. But what did the predecessors of this era have to fear? What did China have left to lose?

Everything had already been seized by the invaders. Especially after learning of the unfair judgments of later generations, the old leaders had become enraged. Even the most mild-tempered people had moments of fury.

In any case, China in that other world was heading down an entirely different path.

Robbing the rich to aid the poor was also one of their means of development.

Aside from reclaiming wealth that had originally belonged to them, they also had to seek benefits for their descendants.

Rob Wakanda’s wealth to relieve their own poverty.

The old leaders were willing to use vibranium as an exchange resource in return for all kinds of equipment from China in the Main World.

China in the Main World now possessed unprecedented military strength. The various weapons originally in service were already facing retirement, and now they had found a new destination.

They would go to China in that world and continue serving the Descendants of the Yellow Emperor.

"The Main World’s weapons and equipment are now being transported to that world through the Dimensional Gate."

By then, Chen Mu had roughly understood what the old leaders were doing.

The Main World did not lack resources. China in the Main World had already entered the age of cosmic civilization and could obtain all kinds of resources from space.

Wakanda’s unique vibranium was the only thing China in the Main World could possibly be interested in.

After learning of this, the old leaders had chosen to stop at nothing in order to acquire vibranium.

"Every Descendant of the Yellow Emperor who loves their own people has the right to evolve to a higher level of life."

Chen Mu thought for a moment, then continued, "If possible, bring the Tablet of Life’s evolution equipment to the old leaders as well. That will minimize their casualties."

The old leaders of 1943 had now embarked on another completely different path.

No civil war broke out again.

They now shared a common goal and had truly achieved cooperation.

This was something Chen Mu had never expected.

But this was good too. Their ideals might differ, but the mutual slaughter of compatriots should be prevented whenever possible.

China’s future lay among the stars and the sea.

It could not be confined to Earth alone.

Moreover, the World War in that world had not yet ended. China had to display strength powerful enough to intimidate the entire world if it wanted to gain greater benefits in future negotiations.

Wasn’t America in later generations exactly like that?

The old leaders were envious!

For the sake of letting their descendants enjoy the same benefits, the army in that world had already crossed the border.

The powerful Kirin Armor was an utterly crushing advantage against other countries in this era.

No country could threaten China at this time.

"Two evolution machines have already been completed. Send them over for use first."

In Chen Mu’s view, all Descendants of the Yellow Emperor were his compatriots. As long as they possessed such a profound sense of identification with their own people, they were qualified to evolve to a higher level of life.

As for those traitorous collaborators and country-sellers, they could go wherever it was cool. Not killing them outright was already the greatest mercy Chen Mu could grant them.

Let them watch as their fellow compatriots gained immortality while they could only grow old and die, perishing in endless regret.

"Alright."

Xu Jia nodded and left the laboratory. She was going to that world again.

In truth, Chen Mu did not know that the development of that world was dozens or even hundreds of times more complicated than what Xu Jia had described in just a few words.
