Of course, the complete collapse of the financial system is actually not a big problem for Yamato, which has been striding forward on the road of planned economy for many years.
As early as more than ten years ago, Seres, the high priest of the Sea Clan, had already seen that the economic development of mankind was largely dependent on globalized trade.
Therefore, it believes that through a blow to trade, it can very effectively create an economic crisis in human society and slow down their development.
So they ordered a large number of Sea Clans to drive their low-level counterparts to attack all ocean-going merchant ships belonging to human beings regardless of the cost, so as to cut off the most important ocean trade network that communicates with the world.
And because of the fear of the possible tsunami that might appear again, and the sea tribe who landed and harassed them unexpectedly. Except for the countries that really cannot retreat, the vast majority of countries have moved their political and economic centers to the inland after the disaster, and the coastal areas have become the front line of the battle.
Various reasons eventually led to a sharp drop in maritime trade. Only large-scale valuables that cannot be transported by plane will hire master shipkeepers at high prices.
This action of the Sea Clan is undoubtedly an extremely fatal blow to Yamato, an island country that is surrounded by seas and relies heavily on ocean trade.
Under such circumstances, the Yamato people who had no choice soon began to implement the material rationing system, stipulating the daily distribution of necessary living materials for each person, and reducing unnecessary consumption as much as possible.
A large number of bankrupt factories were taken over by the state, and only needed products were produced to adapt to the new environment of shortage of various raw materials. The country soon entered a wartime economic system.
Yamato, the bridgehead of capitalism, was like this more than ten years ago, and was forced to a planned economy by the cruel reality.
A nearly 180-degree crazy U-turn in terms of national policy will inevitably be accompanied by countless sacrifices.
Their technology tree has always been habitually crooked. In order to alleviate the extremely serious problem of more people and less land after the tsunami, they have researched a lot of black technology.
Not to mention the technology that is specialized in land reclamation, which belongs to the normal category, the Technology Development Bureau under the official leadership of Yamato has spent nearly ten years tossing out such a crazy technology as "the second dimension of human beings".
Initially, what they wanted to achieve was to further improve the Huaya Federation's virtual reality system, allowing some people's bodies to stay in the nutrition cabin, and then live in the virtual network most of the time.
Because once this technology is popularized, the material needs of people living in the cabin for the real world will be reduced to the extreme, and the space requirements will be almost zero, which can greatly reduce the pressure on the country.
Yamato has extremely rich spiritual stone resources, but after the sea route was strangled, it could only pinch its nose and accept the high-priced raw materials jointly supplied by the Huaya Federation and the United States to maintain the normal operation of the country.
At the same time, the price of the astonishing number of spirit stones in the local area has also been suppressed by the alliance, which is convenient for neighboring countries to trade in scissors and shear sheep round after round.
Although transcendents who have cultivated to a certain level gradually evolve to get rid of external dependence, and can get rid of the problem of eating by absorbing spiritual energy, ordinary people, who account for the vast majority of the population, still need to eat, drink and consume.
What's more, extraordinary people also have the desire to enjoy, so while importing bulk materials, a large number of spiritual stones are exported through secret channels in exchange for luxury goods from all over the world.

When the research was in its fifth year, the first batch of life support cabins were successfully put into production. Thirty volunteers participated in the experiment and lived healthy and healthy in the cabin for nearly three months, declaring the success of the experiment.
Afterwards, the existence of the life support cabin was made public by the Yamato government, but the vast majority of people, even if their lives were not satisfactory in reality, still expressed considerable distaste for living in the virtual world, and very few people took the initiative to sign up in Kyoto.
There are only a very small number of people who hate daily boring work and like to stay at home all day, and accept this kind of thing with pleasure.
Living on the Internet 24/7 without having to worry about various problems in real life is, in a sense, seeking benevolence and gaining benevolence.
It's a pity that a large part of the work in modern society can be done remotely through the Internet. The Yamato government, who can't wait for a penny to split the two halves, certainly won't support them for nothing.
These minds are wandering on the virtual reality network, and those who think that they will not have to work by escaping into the survival cabin still cannot escape the fate of becoming social animals. They just moved their office locations to the virtual world.
Two years after the existence of the survival cabin was made public, through various overt and covert efforts, more than 2% of the population in Yamato was either half-forced or lured, and finally became a member of it .
The underground center of the Kyoto life-support capsule located in the inland area has also gathered two million people who are physically dormant, and they "live" together in a virtual city called "New Tokyo".
This virtual city is like the shadow of the city on the ground, silently supporting the development of the entire Yamato behind it.
Naturally, with the survival capsule and virtual reality, some people will want to go further and explore the possibility of human beings completely free from the bondage of the physical body.
More than ten years ago, the ghost king located in the ruins of Tokyo was instantly killed by a mysterious light man and turned into a soul crystal, leaving behind a lot of residues, and these residues gradually evolved into some soulless creatures under the guidance of spiritual energy. ghost.
After brutal fighting, these ghosts finally gave birth to a very small number of highly intelligent elites, who are called "Piao Ling" by Yamato people.
Yamato, who urgently needs to unite all forces, ignored the so-called different paths of humans and ghosts, and reached a consensus with them in a short time, allowing them to reintegrate into this country.
Piao Ling is undoubtedly an excellent research example in the study of human beings completely freed from the shackles of the physical body. Bai Mo's clone Hei Xue, who stayed at the Yamato Technology Development Bureau at the time, also participated in related matters.
It wasn't until the eve of the outbreak of the Red World Rebellion that the plan of "informatization of thinking" had a slight start, and Yamato couldn't wait to start the human experiment, but the result this time was disastrous.
Among the one hundred experimenters, thirty-one brain explosions died on the spot, forty-one became lunatics due to disordered thinking, and twenty-five successfully transformed into "two-dimensional creatures", but they were just a bunch of people who lost all their sanity , incomprehensible garbled characters.
There were only three people in total, and finally achieved the purpose of the experiment. They were able to successfully cut off all connections with the physical body while maintaining normal thinking, and became real data beings.
However, before each research center had time to analyze the experimental results, the spirit-eating virus broke out crazily, and the research team composed entirely of extraordinary people was forced to disperse and hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
In the ensuing chaos of the Red World, the almost unmanned experimental field was destroyed by mobs. Bai Mo, who was able to save him at the time, was also entangled by the Red World gangsters, unable to control the avatar, so the experiment finally came to nothing. .
