Chapter 14 Balance
Below the Q&A, there were scattered hundreds of Super Links, each pointing to the official organizations of various regions and countries, as well as the official websites of civilian guilds. Unfortunately, only registered forum accounts could access them; visitors did not have the permissions.
Li Cheng carefully read the names of these organizations, among them he found familiar entities such as the Special Affairs Administration, Prometheus Laboratory Company, the Global Supernatural Alliance backed by the United Nations, and a Special Incident Department under the FBI from the United States.
In a corner, he also discovered Zhangsun Yao's World Peace House, which seemed to be more established than he had imagined.
"England, France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Japan, Korea, India, and other countries all have established their own official organizations. Vatican has the Inquisition, the European Union has European Heavy Industry, Middle Eastern countries have joined forces to create the Middle East Abnormalities Retrieval Office. This shows the importance placed by all parties."
Li Cheng lightly tapped his temple, opened a search engine, and started to look for breakthroughs in the field of scientific research across different areas over the past four and a half years. He compared this to the pace of scientific breakthroughs of the previous decade.
"As expected."
After carefully searching for nearly an hour, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, his gaze becoming grave.
Those living in an era of rapid development had a severely distorted estimation of the pace of technological breakthroughs.
The Wright brothers invented the first airplane in 1903; just 66 years later, humanity had officially landed on the Moon.
Nowadays, the computing power of a mere smartphone far surpasses that of the Apollo 11's navigation computer.
The explosive development of science and technology over the past century has given us a wonderful illusion—as if technological breakthroughs are a matter of course and that they will always proceed at such rapid pace.
