The True Thousand Gold Possessions of the Myriad Realms Trading System

Chapter 26 Can I take the books of the future with me?

Wang Yingdao, Sun Changsheng, and the others had come for supplies and should have brought up the matter, but seeing Ruan Mianmian's warm hospitality, they couldn't refuse and all nodded in agreement, saying, "We'll follow Comrade Ruan's arrangements."

Ruan Mianmian nodded happily, then said to Zhang Ying and Jiang Yingchen, "I would like to trouble you two leaders to entertain the leaders properly and to make a list of supplies. We will go and move them out as soon as we have eaten." Seeing that the two nodded in agreement, she headed straight for KFC.

The Ruan family favored boys over girls, so she never ate anything nutritious from a young age. Later, she was bullied at school, suffering both physically and mentally. After being knocked senseless, Su Jingchen was willing to spend money to buy her good food, but Xiao Yao, who took care of her, would let her eat in front of others, while eating it all herself in private. As a result, her health deteriorated significantly.

Having found some sun-dried ginseng, she decided to nourish herself properly. Considering the possibility of encountering Chen He's situation again, she brought two large jars of sun-dried ginseng to KFC, ready to brew and drink it anytime.

As soon as she entered, Ruan Mianmian quickly brewed two large pots of ginseng tea: "This is tea made from sun-dried wild ginseng, so everyone can replenish their blood and energy." After saying that, she poured the ginseng tea into paper cups, held them with both hands, and handed them to the leaders present one by one.

Wang Yingdao, who was the direct contact person with Ruan Mianmian, said with a smile, "Comrade Ruan is very thoughtful. Today, let's drink this luxurious ginseng tea and see what it tastes like."

Everyone laughed.

While drinking ginseng tea, Wang Yingdao and Sun Changsheng chatted casually with Ruan Mianmian, inquiring about the future of people's livelihood.

The other leaders listened attentively and nodded with satisfaction upon hearing Ruan Mianmian's answer.

After everyone had finished their tea, Ruan Mianmian immediately invited them to take the elevator to the sixth floor for dinner. While in the elevator, she asked them what they wanted to eat: "We have all eight major cuisines. Although the taste may not be authentic, it should be pretty good. Of course, since there are many of us from all over the country, we can eat separately and try different flavors according to our habits."

As far as she knew, the members of the Xipai family came from all over the country, and their tastes varied considerably.

Although people aren't picky about food, she still wanted them to taste the flavors they were most familiar with when they came here.

Wang Yingdao, who was directly in charge, spoke up again on behalf of the leadership: "In that case, let's eat separately. Everyone, please don't be shy, just pick what you like. It's a rare opportunity to come to such a wonderful place, so relax and do whatever you want!"

Once Wang Yingdao, representing the leader's intentions, spoke up, everyone stopped objecting and quickly divided into three tables based on their region.

Ruan Mianmian first took the comrades from Sichuan to a Hunan restaurant, took out a tablet from the cashier to tell them how to order, and then divided them into two groups according to their tastes, taking them to a Zhejiang restaurant and a Fujian restaurant respectively.

Ruan Mianmian was as busy as a spinning top, running back and forth between three restaurants to make sure everyone had ordered their food and the dishes were served before returning to the Sichuan and Hunan restaurant to have dinner with the leaders.

Sun Changsheng was a skilled social butterfly, adept at interacting with people. Fearing that Ruan Mianmian might be bored, he kindly asked her how old she was, what books she had read, and what she planned to do in the future.

Ruan Mianmian dared to tell Zhang Ying and Jiang Yingchen about being bullied, but she didn't dare to mention it at all in front of General Wang Yingdao and others. She only talked about the setbacks she had experienced and emphasized what kind of books she had read over the years.

Staff Officer Sun Changsheng listened and nodded: "A well-rounded development in morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics and labor is very good. It's just that the humanities subjects are a bit too basic, but it's still better than what I did back then."

Other leaders also chimed in, saying, "You silly kids are born in a good era, you must study hard!"

Hearing this message, Ruan Mianmian was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely study hard!" In her mind, she frantically called out to the chubby system, "Baby, my good baby, do you have a camera function? Did you take a picture of the leader's message to me? My God, I'm so lucky!"

The chubby system was initially unhappy with her madness, but when it heard her calling it "baby" and "good baby," it couldn't hold back any longer and said irritably, "Everything that happens around you is recorded in 3D video, so don't worry."

Upon hearing that it was not only recorded, but also a 3D video, Ruan Mianmian went wild with excitement, showering the chubby system with compliments: "Waaah, baby, you're so wonderful! I love you, I love you to death!"

Overwhelmed with excitement, Ruan Mianmian felt dizzy for a while. After calming down, she said:

"Distinguished leaders, as we say in later generations, the economic base determines the superstructure, and science and technology are the primary productive forces. After the Western school succeeded, it went through a long period of development, during which Western countries imposed various forms of blockade on us, among which the technological blockade was particularly devastating. I have some books here that may not be suitable for the present, but they are suitable for the future. Could we take some technical books back with us?"

These were things she had thought about before going to bed last night, so she seized the opportunity to say them now.

When the leaders heard the phrase "The economic base determines the superstructure, and science and technology are the primary productive forces," they nodded and silently recited it. After hearing all the words, their expressions became serious.

Staff Officer Sun Changsheng asked, "Can we take the books of the future with us? If so, of course we should take them, the more the better. As you said, even if we don't need them today, we will definitely need them in the future."

General Wang Yingdao asked somewhat anxiously, "Do you have any books on weaponry?"

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "I think I've seen it before." She paused and said, "However, no matter what technology it is, it needs a foundation and materials. We are still in the initial stage, so it will be quite difficult. The production cycle of weapons will also be relatively long, and the cost will be quite high."

She didn't really understand these things, but she had watched a lot of short videos when she was in school and knew that many things that we take for granted in our daily lives cannot be produced in most foreign countries because they do not have a complete industrial system or industrial base.

For example, in terms of power generation, Dongda University experienced frequent power outages in the early days, but later, even a half-hour power outage became unbearable for everyone.

However, in the Southeast Asia region, due to the lack of systematic power generation technology, they rely on us for electricity, and even so, they frequently experience power outages.

Why don't they control something as important as electricity, but instead rely on the Eastern Great Power? Is it because they don't want to?

No, it's because it's impossible.

Without a large industrial base, even very simple things are difficult to manufacture, and even if they could be manufactured, the cost would be extremely high.

Ruan Mianmian made things clear to General Wang Yingdao in the hope that he would be mentally prepared to accept the problem of slow weapon production or high costs.

General Wang Yingdao nodded: "I understand. Just like our current ideals and careers, it's always difficult to get started."

Relieved, Ruan Mianmian resumed her meal, racking her brains as she ate, trying to figure out how to talk to the leaders in front of her who played an important role in the country's development about the future.
