There must be something wrong with me

Chapter 166: The Arrival of the New Century_3



Zhang Feng looked at him and smiled, taking out a small notebook from his pocket, "Inside are my insights on Visualization. Practice well.

If I come to find you alone next time and you still haven't started Visualizing,

then don't talk to me about anything else.

When the time comes, I will tell you where to go, you just go there."

...

After leaving Dr. Wu's home,

Zhang Feng strolled around casually, as he was already out.

As he wandered along the way,

Zhang Feng saw not just more martial artists appearing, but also some roads beginning the groundwork for planetary magnetism.

This is not about tearing up the entire road,

but about measuring distances and assessing the necessary specifications and dimensions.

When the installation happens, there will be specialized machines lifting a people-wide trench on both sides of the road to lay superconductors, achieving electric grid coverage and connection.

Of course, different roads and different locations will have varied coverage methods as well.

By then, the technical department will deliver the optimal solution, implementing a relatively perfect geomagnetic network layout.

Additionally, Zhang Feng proposed the mechanical platform plan to the planning department.

This ensures future mechanical platform construction and the existing city's superconductor planning.

Otherwise, for instance, if this city is covered in geomagnetism now,

and this city turns out to be the 'foundation point' in the future mechanical platform plan,

then a lot of it will have to be dismantled.

Similarly, Zhang Feng feels the mechanical platform is the planet's 'final plan.'

In the future, large things will not be built on this planet anymore.

Because Zhang Feng still hopes to keep his planet in a relatively 'green' environment.

He even thought about, someday, when conquering other planets, sending the Computation Power Building and such over there, directly creating a 'Computation Planet.'

In the future, when there's overpopulation, people can also be sent to other planets.

As for his own planet, it is the 'Celestial Dragon People' base.

After all, everyone is someone who walked through this era together with him, and moreover, provided him with many veins and help.

In a certain sense, they have contributed to the effort for the entire civilization.

So there is undoubtedly a place for them here.

This is beyond dispute.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng returned to the data center.

Because Zhang Feng suddenly remembered he hadn't checked the materials from these past few years.

...

In the following months,

the news of the imminent formation of the Federation spread throughout the world.

Unexpectedly, the once highly anticipated Federation now faces differing opinions.

But not long after, these voices disappeared.

It was eventually revealed as intentional moves by certain interest organizations.

The establishment of the Federation would impact their various businesses, preventing them from earning the exchange rate differences from different regions.

But if it is a formal organization, and official ones too, they have now been formally transformed.

This matter quickly vanished without a trace.

At least for the general public, it had no impact.

Because what people cared about more was what would happen to their previous money.

The official response was clear: it could be 'exchanged' for Federation Coin at equivalent value, or kept as a collection.

Currently, it is still a common currency, not immediately abolished.

But it is being gradually phased out.

As for money stored online, it will be directly converted to the corresponding amount of Federation Coin.

For example, if you have 100R on your phone now, next time you open it, it changes to 100L.

L is the abbreviation for the Federation.

This conversion will start after the Federation announces its establishment.

So when there's no problem with the wallet, and some Z1 ships and Z1 airplanes offer lower ticket prices,

and with no major issues in obtaining visas later on,

the call for the Federation became even stronger.

Even many foreigners started flocking to Great Xia, wanting to be in the same country as the pioneers.

Later, restrictions were imposed because too many people were coming.

But many people from Great Xia also went abroad,

although not out of a desire for freedom, rather a small number aimed for tourism, while a greater number went to reclaim and farm lands.

There is a lot of land in the West that can be used to plant medicinal herbs, with some additional subsidies.

This caused people from various places to run around, but noticeably, more people from Great Xia.

In recent years, with the saved surplus electricity costs and much cheaper travel expenses,

many people gained a little financial freedom.

Many people realized their dream of traveling the globe.

In addition, the Western martial arts teaching methods are somewhat different from the Eastern ones.

There's also different understanding about Visualization practices and the like.

Some have made small breakthroughs because of this.

But no matter how amazing the public's travels were this time,

until half a year later,

two years and eleven months after Zhang Feng's return,

the time was New Year's Eve in Great Xia.

On this night,

amid worldwide broadcast attention, in a conference hall in Xia City of Great Xia,

in the front few rows of the venue sat representatives of citizens from various regions.

In the next few rows were official personnel from Great Xia.

Around the venue were journalists from all over the world.

At this moment, their eyes all focused on the podium.

There sat a row of tables occupied by official representatives from all sides.

Zhang Feng, in military uniform, was positioned in the middle of everyone.

Meanwhile,

Zhang Feng glanced at the tea on the table, wondering if it was drinkable.

Was it just for display, or could it be drunk when truly thirsty?

But thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

Seeing everyone unmoving, he chose not to move either.

But in truth,

Zhang Feng was somewhat emotional because this was too formal, something like a 'new era inauguration.'

It wasn't him casually promoting martial arts or giving a lesson.

Those were informal occasions.

Even when visiting the West, it was more of a foreign visit and exchange, plus observing overseas base constructions.

It was more work-related, in Zhang Feng's mind, akin to reviewing reports in the data center.

The two can't be discussed on the same day.

And Zhang Feng knew, once he spearheaded this 'global speech', any major future events and breakthroughs would inevitably need to go through formalities.

After all, he wasn't just within a small controlled portion of the data center anymore; there was much more to manage now.

Yet, contemplating the global new networks and new veins channeling towards him,

it was quite nice.

While Zhang Feng's thoughts were drifting,

as the clock approached midnight,

everyone stamped the official seals on the agreements on their respective tables.

Finally, Old Liu collected all the agreements and approached Zhang Feng's table.

The whole process was quiet; there was no speech.

Old Liu timed it perfectly, flipping to the last page of the agreement with five seconds remaining, solemnly placing it before Zhang Feng.

Amid all the attention,

Zhang Feng didn't stamp, but as the clock struck midnight, he signed his name on the Federation agreement book, symbolizing the agreement's official activation.

Click-click—

As photographs and videography commenced,

cheering unique to Great Xia for the New Year echoed outside the venue.

Inside the venue, everyone stood up at that moment, subconsciously slowing their breathing, looking towards Zhang Feng also standing up, awaiting the 'New Era Speech.'

Including people all over the world, watching Zhang Feng on TV and screens.

Zhang Feng, facing the cameras from around the globe, with a resounding voice declared in the tranquil setting:

"The current progress is not the limit of our human civilization.

But as long as we humans unify, we can continuously surpass one monumental problem after another.

Cooperation is the beginning of all civilizations.

I declare,

the era of the Federation, formally established from today."
