Chapter 753: Chapter 753
Smith did not stay to disturb them, but left some robot assistants. Although these robots were different from those on Earth, Du You quickly learned to operate them.
In the entire base, apart from Du You and his team, there was only Smith. Apparently, the population density of professionals here was not very high. After all, while there were few professionals, there were numerous planets here.
"Let’s quickly review the information here and think about how to complete the tasks ahead."
The sisters knew that what they needed to accomplish was not merely the main task, but to find a way to directly ascend to the fourth tier in this world. An endeavor they had initially planned to suppress seemed now impossible to stall any longer.
The books and materials here were carefully organized for the use of professionals. So initially, Du You came across all the various information that he wanted to understand. Other details were recorded in different books.
The main body of Star Ring World was the Star Ring Alliance.
The Star Ring Alliance was made up of a complex group of thirty-eight huge stars. Each star was surrounded by a vast number of satellites and planets, forming a complex system.
Every planet regularly moved closer and farther away in a complex pattern, making it impossible to establish stable nations. A long time ago, there were constant struggles between the various planets in the Star Ring world. As technology advanced, they gradually formed a large integrated alliance, which also held a place in the starry sky.
The name "Star Ring" does not refer to these planets but to the ring-shaped belt on the outskirts of the star cluster. The belt, filled with numerous asteroids and some unique planets, formed a dazzling ring.
Under the sunlight, whether in the night or daylight, one could look upon the night sky from afar and see a colossal ring-shaped belt that resembled a river, spanning across the entire sky. This was the origin of the name "Star Ring."
There are thousands of planets, big and small, within the Star Ring Alliance. The fact that in such a complex system, no frequent planetary collisions occurred was indeed a miracle. Technology later developed to offer planetary remodeling techniques, thus preventing such incidents.
There were a total of sixteen original life-bearing planets in the Star Ring world, each of them of great value. Coincidentally, within this range, humans were the only intelligent beings, with no other life forms present. The existence of humans on multiple planets seemed to invite some particular speculation.
Eventually, the number of planets remodeled for human habitation reached over two hundred, making up the current Star Ring Alliance.
Several power groups existed within the Star Ring Alliance, as there was no country due to the overly complex structure of the alliance.
The Star Ring Alliance was dominated by three most powerful forces: Brock Academy, the Army, and Star Ring Company.
Brock Academy was the most powerful among the three. It was a comprehensive educational institution and also a group of academies, similar to a chain of schools. Every human-inhabited planet had a branch of Brock Academy.
Unknown of how it started, there were only Brock Academies of different tiers, with no space left for the survival of other academies. Almost everyone had to graduate from Brock Academy, becoming their students.
This level of influence, although seemingly low-key on the surface, was the most potent in the whole Star Ring world. A single command from a Brock Academy higher-up could send tremors throughout the Star Ring world.
The second place went to the Army. Just because the Star Ring world is not dangerous, it doesn’t mean they do not have enemies, they have lots of them.
Many threats came from the outskirts of the starry sky, from those powerful enemies. The Army exists to combat such adversaries. Elites graduating from the academies would generally join the military.
However, the Army had its institutions for nurturing talents. Their core talents were internal, effectively avoiding a hollowing out by the academies. Otherwise, the Army would have already become the peripheral organization of the Brock Academy.
Having the most potent military might, the Army naturally became the second largest power.
Of course, some argue that Brock Academy’s military power is, in reality, stronger than that of the Army, but there’s no base to that claim. After all, in direct confrontations, the Army accounted for more than 60%, and the Academy was just over 20%.
The third largest force was the Star Ring Company. This company initially engaged in technology industries but has now become the largest tech company throughout the Star Ring. Whatever various technological outputs the Army and Academy needed, as well as robotic devices used in civilian households, they were all produced by the Star Ring Company.
Perhaps only within this unique condition that lacks nations could a company grow to such a scale. Otherwise, no nation would allow a corporation to grow unbounded.
Of course, Du You suspected that like the Army, this company might have its training system. Otherwise, the Star Ring Company would sooner or later fall under the control of the Brock Academy. Fınd the newest release on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢•𝕟𝕖𝕥
However, in the internal records, Du You found out that there was a fourth powerful organization veiled in this world– the Professions Guild. With the help of professionals and the aid of various unique resources from other worlds.
The professionals trapped in this world and their offspring formed a powerful force. Over a long period of infiltration, all three organizations were subverted by the Guild personnel. Many individuals have made it into the higher echelons of the three bodies and exerted a strong influence on the entire Star Ring world. These people were indeed not to be underestimated.
The Hidden Professions Guild also had its training system. Although the current strength of the Guild was not on par with the three major organizations, its potential was even more significant, and it remained hidden.
Given enough time, Du You was confident that the Professions Guild would surpass them and even replace and take complete control of the Star Ring. However, how much time that would require remained an unknown. This was irrelevant to Du You.
Besides these large organizations, there were many small ones, lawful and unlawful.
There were even vestiges of some nations from the planetary era, who still functioned collectively as nations and sought clandestinely to reclaim their power. But to Du You, they were merely jumping clowns.
If any major organization were to take serious action, they could easily wipe out these tiny forces. They were only kept around for their usefulness. Just like his current situation, it was best to shift the blame onto them.
Whether the upper class or the populace, they were all too happy to see them scapegoated.
