"Because the political system within the entire island is an experimental zone, we can completely set aside the influence of military factors when discussing political system experiments here, and thus truly look at the issue from a management perspective, because we are not enemies, but allies."

Zhang San's words make some sense, since everyone shares the same goal: to further advance this discipline.

As for differences in ideology or faction, they prefer to prove their faction's superiority through concrete strength rather than resorting to underhanded tactics and various behind-the-scenes conspiracies.

"I remember this experiment has been going on for many years now. Which areas have the biggest advantage now?"

Li Xingkong recalled that it seemed that quite a few areas had been divided up at that time.

Upon hearing Li Xingkong's question, Zhang San and Liu Suiye exchanged a glance and smiled.

"At that time, we were divided into four major regions and nearly a hundred smaller regions. Today, nearly half of these regions have failed in their political system experiments."

Liu Suiye said.

"Basically, if more than 80% of the population disappears from a political system region, then we can determine that the political system experiment in that region has failed."

"The traditional slavery system in our neighboring region was basically one of the first failed political systems."

"Firstly, the personal safety of slaves was not guaranteed, and depended entirely on the mood of the slave owners. As a result, many people who drew slave lots chose to escape. In the subsequent development, the slave owners found that these slaves were completely unmotivated and Heavenly Capital. Moreover, the slave owners had to provide them with food, lodging, medical care, and even care for their reproduction. It was basically like they had paid money to buy a son."

"Although they held the power of life and death, it wasn't entirely effective. If someone was killed, where would they find new slaves? So, after a while, the slave owners in this area all went to the capitalist district to become capitalists. After all, capitalists only need to deal with money; they don't have to worry about anything else."

"There are also some regions with rather peculiar systems, such as the extreme egalitarian system, where all resources in the entire region are counted and then distributed equally to each person. This distribution is even down to two decimal places. Whether it is clothing, food, housing, transportation, or various property, everything is strictly distributed equally."

This led to most of the hardworking people in the area leaving, leaving behind a bunch of lazy people to fend for themselves, which ultimately resulted in famine even in today's world of abundant resources.

Speaking of this, even Li Xingkong found it hard to believe. In this day and age, you can grow anything and not starve. These people are quite capable of creating a famine.

"Anyway, the areas that are currently in an advantageous position are our area, a few areas in the capital zone, two or three well-developed areas within the feudal zone, and finally, the Netizen Autonomous Region."

Both of them looked somewhat helpless when the topic of this area came up.

Li Xingkong also remembered the Netizen Autonomous Region. The biggest difference here was that all the political systems and laws were elected by netizens. He remembered that the political system they chose was the Skynet System, which handed over all the power to enforce the law to artificial intelligence.

All the laws were decided by public votes among netizens.

This place is arguably the most bizarre area ever; Li Xingkong never expected it to survive for so long.

"Because of netizens' resentment towards capitalists and the wealthy, most of the laws here are targeted at the rich. Initially, the wealthy couldn't stand this kind of control and tried many methods, but because the law enforcement officers are mechanical and lack human emotions, their efforts were basically futile. In the end, most of the wealthy chose to leave this area."

"But because this place is friendly to ordinary people, it quickly attracted a large number of ordinary people. And because the laws are harsh on the upper and middle classes, all industries here have developed towards a workers' union autonomous region. Now, it is actually the place that most resembles an ideal society..."

Indeed, as humanity has progressed to this point, the so-called legal system has never been considered in terms of human needs; its sole purpose has been to maintain rule.

It never cares what the weak think, and most of the time, it indulges, or even favors, the strong.

Although this experimental zone has developed very well, it is basically not replicable.

Or rather, it may work well in experiments, but it's simply impossible to implement in reality.

After all, classes truly exist in the real world, and the differences between classes cannot be explained by a few words from one or two experimenters.

Through the two people's accounts, Li Xingkong gained a general understanding of the experiments on the entire Cherry Blossom Country Island.

Nearly two hours had passed since Li Xingkong left the government building. Instead of immediately setting up the formation, he took a walk around the entire Cherry Blossom Country Island and looked at all the government entities that the two had mentioned.

Regardless of their structure, overall they were trying to move forward rather than regress in order to enjoy the life of an emperor.

After circling around, Li Xingkong returned to the edge of the rift, took out the array diagram, calculated it using the Hexagram, determined the location of the array's core, and then flashed downwards with the refined array flags.

After passing through the fissure, we arrived at the bottom. Unlike other rivers, the bottom of this fissure was formed from obsidian, a mixture of seawater and magma that had solidified, creating a dark and opaque landscape.

A breach was made in the riverbed, Li Xingkong, carrying the array flags, continued downwards, entering the magma. However, due to the barrier of Magic Power, the scorching Li Xingkong at all.

After continuing downwards for several kilometers, Li Xingkong finally arrived at the designated location. He activated the array flag, and a small, built-in isolation array was created, opening up a bubble-like space within the lava.

The array flags were set up here, which was obviously not very safe. Li Xingkong then used the Thick Earth City Fortification Technique to wrap the array flags tightly with obsidian formed from magma.

Well, now no one would guess what's inside such a big black lump.

Moreover, no one usually ventures into such deep magma.

After setting up the first phase, Li Xingkong returned to the ground through the rift.

This terrain-altering formation is called the Four Directions and Four Symbols Heaven and Earth Shifting Formation. Because the energy consumed in altering the terrain is too great, the array flags it requires are naturally incomparable to those of the Four Seas Heaven-Regulating Formation.

Li Xingkong traveled around the entire Earth Star several times, venturing into places that virtually no one would visit in the next hundred years, such as deep-sea trenches, the depths of the Antarctica ice sheet, the East African Rift Valley, and even the deepest borehole ever drilled by the Russia.

The main energy source of the formation is the Earth Star itself, so the deeper the formation flags are placed, the better.
