Chapter 291: The Current Situation of Nole Star
In October 2417, two major events occurred in the Vesy Empire.
The first thing is naturally that through the unremitting efforts of the mecha R&D center, the first generation of all-round mecha has finally been successfully developed, but after the news came out, it did not cause any big sensation among the countries of the galaxy's scientific and technological civilization.
Since the inexplicable leak forum suddenly came out, the technical threshold of the all-round mecha that has been in the hands of the two superpowers has long been broken, and in the past two months, several countries with developed military industries have developed their own all-round mechas.
The reason why everyone's progress is so fast is because the Weixi Empire has leaked a secret about the manufacturing process of the sixth-generation military mecha half a year ago, so that those countries with a deep industrial foundation have abandoned the original slow development plan and directly invested in the research and development of the sixth-generation mecha.
In this way, as long as the control system is simply upgraded, the original sixth-generation military mecha will be directly transformed into an all-round mecha.
In contrast, the shock caused by the second event was much greater.
It was also in October of the same year that the Vesy Empire issued an announcement through the Imperial Family.
It was announced that from now on, the ban on biological genetic engineering will be lifted in all aspects, and the genetic modification research center will be officially established, with the young royal aristocratic doctor Amy as the chief researcher, and the volunteers will be openly recruited from the society and the army.
As soon as this news was issued, it was immediately thrown into the lake like a boulder, causing an uproar, and all kinds of public opinion rolled in overwhelmingly for a while.
Among them are many who agree, and of course there are more condemnations and spits.
However, none of these organizations or individuals that express their opinions include the official bodies of any country.
Because only those in power in those countries know that the work of genetic modification has been carried out secretly as early as five or six years ago, but everyone tacitly has not put this matter on the table.
It's like the genetic modification research center in the Weixi Empire, which has actually been established for some years, but the Weixi royal family has only now disclosed its existence to the whole society.
In the face of those voices of doubt and opposition, the response of the Vesy Empire was simple.
On the starting point technology forum, the second post made it clear that the world of Xiuzhen is far more terrifying than everyone imagined, and if you don't catch up now and strengthen your military force at all costs, you will only be left to the next few decades.
In fact, for the popular science post on the forum about the details of the cultivation realm, most of the human citizens in the technological world have already read it, but the authenticity of its content is divided into two completely different camps.
One side thinks that this is just a mysterious hacker called Passerby A, who deliberately made an alarmist prank, which is simply out of tune, and it is good to look at it as a mythological story, and it is not worth believing half a word.
On the other hand, the other party firmly believes that passerby A will never do such a boring thing, and how can he make such a mentally retarded joke if he can break through the extremely strict firewall of the super national defense and steal the all-round mecha technical data and share it for free.
No matter how the two camps argued, the speech of the royal family of the Vesy Empire had clearly expressed their official attitude.
The critical moment of human civilization is imminent, and it is imperative to lift the ban on genetic modification technology.
What is surprising is that less than two hours after the announcement of the Weixi Empire, the Qingxia Empire, which is far away in the Magellan system, suddenly issued a statement to the Galactic Interstellar Alliance without warning, fully supporting the decision of the Weixi royal family, and also lifting the ban on its own genetic modification technology from now on.
For this result, Zhang Tianjiu, the driving force behind the scenes, had long expected it.
As the saying goes, extraordinary methods are practiced at all times, and in the face of the aggressive offensive of the Xiuzhen world, it is time to uncover the fig leaf of genetic modification.
Compared to the original history, this point in time is almost ten years earlier.
Although he was selected by the Visy Empire's Genetic Warrior Project in 2418, at that time, the modification operation was still only carried out secretly and was not made public.
It wasn't until after 2427 that the tech community came to accept the existence of GM warriors and saw it as the only hope that could save a tech civilization.
It's a pity that Zhang Tianjiu and his comrades-in-arms, after more than 300 years of bloody battles, finally failed to recover the decline of the war, and the cornerstone of scientific and technological civilization was finally trampled under the feet of the Xiuzhen world.
The turmoil of public opinion comes and goes quickly.
Within a few days, the headlines of major news outlets, the discussion of genetic modification had disappeared, and it was back to the normal state of all kinds of entertainment gossip flying all over the sky.
In fact, for the vast majority of ordinary people, firewood, rice, oil and salt are the eternal theme of their lives, and it is nothing to occasionally pay attention to social gossip as a pastime, the words genetic modification are too far away from everyone, no matter what Emperor Weixi is doing, as long as it does not affect their normal survival.
Shrouded in the shadow of war for a long time, everyone has developed a habitual numb mentality, gradually becoming indifferent to hot current affairs news, and the only hope is to wake up tomorrow and be able to sit at the table and enjoy breakfast, instead of fleeing with their families to avoid the pursuit of the monks.
At this moment, Zhang Tianjiu was enjoying an extremely hearty breakfast at Prince Gregory's mansion.
Unlike the synthetic meat on the plates of ordinary people, the royal family and nobles have a special supply of wild meat and organic vegetables every day, and the consumption of a daily meal is worth the expenses of ordinary families for several years.
Zhang Tianjiu knew this, but he didn't think about changing anything.
People are born unfair.
He is also from the bottom of the Changnan untouchables, step by step to climb to the current position, seemingly infinite scenery, in fact, how much price has been paid behind it, only his own psychology is clear.
In troubled times, human life is as worthless as mustard, and the word equality is the most worthless.
At this moment, Gregory was using a fork to stuff the last tender and juicy steak on the plate into his mouth, squinting his eyes and chewing a few bites, then he picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said: "Your letter of appointment can be issued today, but as a friend, I still advise you, it is better not to go to Nore Star to be the governor." β
As a top nobleman, he naturally has a set of behavior etiquette, and eating without saying anything is the most basic requirement.
However, after getting along with Zhang Tianjiu for a long time, Prince Gregory, who used to be extremely exquisite, was also invisibly contaminated with his military ruffians, especially when there were only the two of them, what bullshit table manners had long been thrown out of the clouds.
Zhang Jiuye burped, leaned back in the chair and picked his teeth with a fine silver toothpick, and when he heard Gregory's advice, he just smiled and said: "Don't worry, how can it be so easy to want Brother Jiu's life, the Longtan Tiger's Den in your eyes is like my own back garden to me." β
Seeing Zhang Tianjiu's confident attitude, Gregory could only shake his head helplessly, he knew that persuasion was useless, this guy was so oily and salty, once the matter was decided, he couldn't pull it back with a 50,000-ton freighter.
In fact, Zhang Tianjiu's choice of Nolei Star as the base for his development and growth was also carefully considered.
There are three main reasons for this.
First of all, he is a native of Noray, and he has a special affection for this ancestral star that has fallen in the future time and space for more than 300 years.
The second is that Noray Star is remote, far away from the capital of the Weixi Empire, in other words, the Tiangao Emperor is far away, and no matter how he tosses, it will not attract the attention of the royal family.
As for the third, although Noray Star was captured by the army of monks and all military bases were almost destroyed, the city's infrastructure was not too seriously damaged, and a stable life order could be restored as soon as possible.
In the past few days, Zhang Tianjiu has asked Xiao Taohong to retrieve the detailed status quo of several major cities in Nolei Star through the Skynet system, and it can be said that he knows the situation over there well, and even the Weixi royal family is not as clear as he knows.
Last year, the army of monks, after looting out the useful resources of Noray, had already moved on to the next target.
The ordinary inhabitants of the city, although they suffered heavy casualties, were not deliberately slaughtered.
In fact, this situation is normal, although in the eyes of the monks, the human beings in the technological society are like ants and mustards, which can be killed at will, but except for those who are perverted because they have cultivated some kind of evil sect and are addicted to killing, few monks will be bored enough to stay and slaughter ordinary people on a planet who have no ability to resist.
This is like a normal person seeing a bunch of ants, if it is not pleasing to the eye, he can naturally raise his leg and step on it to death, but if the ants hide underground, it is estimated that he will not dig a hole in the ground, and he has to chase and kill them to the end.
After all, there is no point in doing so except to waste time.
According to the information fed back by Xiao Pink, the three major cities of Noray Star are currently occupied by three different armed forces.
His hometown of Mali City was taken advantage of by a group of passing interstellar pirates, and he lived in the city government building and became the emperor of the soil.
Utan City, known as a university town, fell into the hands of a local underworld armed group, which is said to have thousands of members, all kinds of guns, and even dozens of powerful private mechas.
As for the largest city, NorΓ© City, the situation is relatively special.
When the city's nobles and high-ranking officials retreated last year, those relatively low-ranking government officials were not qualified to squeeze into the royal cruise ship and were abandoned in the city as cannon fodder.
These low-level officials who were forced to stay in the city of Neverey, at best, survived, and after the departure of the monks' army, they became the supreme governors of Norre City, and openly refused to continue to swear allegiance to the royal family of Vesy.
Zhang Tianjiu can understand this.
When the catastrophe is approaching, he becomes an outcast, and whoever is in it will be unhappy.
