Chapter 14 Early Warning Mechanisms and Natural Phenomena

"Corpse collection team" is the nickname of the battle results supervision and verification team that directly belongs to the garrison sequence.

When the corpse collection team arrived, Yang Cheng and Captain Xu lost the tension they had before, and the two pulled the Force to the side and whispered.

Captain Xu frowned and asked, "Old Yang, do you think this beast tide is a bit fierce?"

Yang Cheng nodded and said, "According to the previous experience, it is very difficult for us to encounter a beast group of this size at this depth, and there are obviously more half-demon beasts and soldier-level demon beasts. ”

The strategy of the base city against the beast tide has always been "dismantling layer by layer, first coarse and then fine, each doing its best", with the level they are in, they are not qualified to know more information at all, but since they are at the very end, they have already felt the pressure, which means that the pressure has penetrated the entire chain.

Seeing the slight knowledge, it is not just them who feel that "this beast tide is a bit fierce".

Captain Xu frowned, and finally said, "We don't need to worry about major matters...... However, we also have to do some precautions, and then how about we act together as two teams?"

"Good. Yang Cheng nodded in agreement.

......

That's when it happened.

A few kilometers away from the combat command center, the reception room.

Chen Yiqi sat a little casually, with a faint smile on his face, and sitting opposite him was Liu Lili and the other students of Aoyita.

Next to him, his lieutenant explained the general situation of the battle to a large hanging map.

In Meng Xiaoxiao's view, the map can be simplified into three rings, the innermost circle, with buildings, streets, factories and other markers, that is the base city.

And between it and the ring in the middle, there are ears of wheat, rice, corn, potatoes and other icons, which are the lifeblood of the entire base city.

The middle ring also has a special feature, there are thick knots at intervals, like the nodules of plants, and next to each knot there is a number number, from one to forty-two.

This is where the adjutant's explanation begins.

"These are all iron forts, forty-two iron forts form an impermeable iron fence, each of which has a large number of garrisons, one is to sweep outward on a regular basis to move the safe area forward as much as possible, and the other is to ensure that the planting base of the inner ring is not damaged in any way. ”

The outermost third ring on the map is the dotted line, with three large red arrows pointing to three areas of Base City from beyond the dotted line, and several small arrows pointing to other areas.

This dotted ring is the limit of the base city's "territorial circle" delineated based on its own manpower, material resources, combat effectiveness and other comprehensive considerations, once a demon beast crosses this line, it will be defined as an "invasion", and a series of counterattack measures will be initiated.

And if you go beyond this line, then you don't care, and you can't control it.

"The base city has to face many large-scale beast tide impacts every year, especially before and after the harvest is the most stressed, not to mention other small-scale impacts, this beast tide mainly comes from three directions, the southwest direction, and the north direction are suffering from the impact of nearly 100,000 large-scale beast tides, and each of the four nearest iron forts has fully taken over the matter, and has also issued a second-level warning to the base city.

The most serious is the east where we are now, after rough statistics, the scale has now exceeded 250,000, from the number 18 to 25 of the eight iron fort garrisons have been fully mobilized, and from other iron forts that are under less pressure, we have issued a three-level warning to the base city, mobilized a large number of joint defense teams, issued a black iron summoning order, if the beast tide continues until tomorrow afternoon and there is no sign of abating, we will issue a bronze summoning order, if the situation deteriorates further, we will issue a four-level warning. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiaoxiao didn't have a particularly deep feeling, only the feeling of "the situation is very serious and may be more serious".

And many students, including Ruwens, who knew more about the inside story and thought it was another "cliché", became solemn.

The base city has very strict standards for the early warning mechanism, and has very clear specifications for how each level of early warning should be responded.

The first-level early warning, which is also the lowest level of early warning, indicates that an area on the dotted line has suffered a small-scale beast tide "invasion", reminding all human groups operating in this area to pay attention, those small arrows on the map, each of which almost represents a first-level warning, from the perspective of the entire base city, the first-level warning has never stopped all year round, and the nearby Iron Fort garrison can easily solve it.

Second-level early warning, the scale and intensity of the beast tide have been greatly improved, and it requires the garrisons of many surrounding iron forts to be ready and cooperate to solve it.

Three-level early warning, the beast tide really becomes a "tide", 100,000 starts, overwhelming, even if the surrounding iron fort garrison is mobilized to intercept layer by layer, there will still be a large number of monsters rushing into the outer ring "buffer zone", the base city must mobilize more forces to complete the clearance task in the buffer zone, to avoid damage to the inner ring "planting base".

Fourth-level early warning, the scale of the beast tide is in danger of breaking through the "buffer zone" and reaching the "planting base", so it is necessary to fully mobilize the strength of the base city and tap the potential of the base city more deeply.

The "full mobilization" and "deeper digging" include the fact that all consortia must devote all their direct armed forces to it, and there is no room for bargaining.

This is the reason why several students who know the inside story and have a background in the consortium have changed their tone when they hear this, because it has directly involved themselves.

The five-level warning means that some kind of major crisis is about to or has already befallen the base city, and the whole city is mobilized and urgently mobilized.

Six-level warning, natural disasters, catastrophes, survival in death.

When the adjutant explained the six-level early warning mechanism to the students, even if they didn't understand it before, they all understood what the "four-level early warning" meant at this moment, which was basically the limit of a regular battle.

As for the fifth and sixth levels, they are all unconventional and catastrophic, but they don't have to worry about it.

The adjutant spent half an hour giving an overview to the students present, allowing them to see the battle going on outside from a broader perspective.

Then, he said, "Okay, that's all I have to say, you can discuss and communicate, and in ten minutes you can ask questions, as long as I know, I will try to give you an answer." ”

The students of the Ayita naturally formed several discussion groups and exchanged in a low voice, of course, there were also a few operators watching from the side and not participating in the discussion, including Rubens, Liu Lili glanced vaguely a few times, as long as it did not affect other people, especially the people she had to focus on on this trip, she didn't care what purpose these people were doing this.

Ten minutes later.

A boy who looked handsome put his finger on the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Beast tides occur frequently before and after the harvest every year, with large scale and high intensity, but I found that there are not many herbivorous beasts, especially those that feed on human staple foods such as wheat, and as far as I know, demon beasts are not very interested in plants that do not contain the mystery factor, so they come one after another before and after our harvest every year, what is their motivation?"

The adjutant smiled and explained: "We also had this doubt, and later learned that the root of the problem is not that they have any motives, but that the phenomenon itself is part of the natural ecology of this area, and this is already a 'phenomenon', like the migration of fish and the migration of birds. ”

Not only the Sven boy who asked the question, but everyone else, including Meng Xiaoxiao, was confused by his answer.

"You must know what the migration of fish and birds are, and in addition, it is recorded that before the great changes of heaven and earth, a thrilling migration of wildebeest was staged every year on the savannah, and millions of wildebeest herds crossed the entire steppe after all kinds of hardships and dangers, paying huge casualties, and repeatedly, year after year. ”

The students present are all top smart people, and when they hear this, they have vaguely grasped a certain essence.

"The emergence of the mystical factor has changed the whole world, and nature has also affected the entire ecological chain, whether it is animals or plants, they are frantically reproducing, crazy upgrading, it seems that there is a force urging them at the genetic level, if they can't keep up, they will fall behind the times and be quickly eliminated - and this is also a fact.

We already know for sure that there are hundreds of species of plants and animals that are extinct, which is not tolerated by the world in the new era, and there will only be more that are not known or discovered, and at the same time, more new species are being born.

This is an era of explosion, an explosion of species, an explosion of evolution, a explosion of reproduction, an explosion of life!

There is an upper limit to the life that an area can carry, and these countless lives are 'crowded' in the mountains and forests, even if they are constantly competing, predating, and consuming each other, but after a while, there will still be a large number of 'redundancy', which must be eliminated on a larger scale and more completely.

Base City has become a port for nature's 'pressure relief', because no matter what, we can't let them attack our planting area, they will kill with all their might, they will fight resolutely, and once the beast tide is cleared to a certain extent, they will collapse and shrink, and those who successfully return to the mountains and forests are the winners, and they will gain the right to reproduce in the next wave, which will become the beginning of the next wave of beast tide outbreaks...... We act, in fact, as a whetstone for nature. ”

Everyone understood what he meant, but they felt even more incredible.

Someone exclaimed: "Such a miraculous method, ingenious design, really makes people wonder if this nature itself has also opened up the mind." ”

The boy who asked the question just now habitually put his fingers on the top of his glasses and said:

"To put it another way, this is a kind of survivorship bias.

Just as we often feel the subtlety of life and the miracle of creation, and ignore those non-subtle lives, the unmagical creation cannot survive until now, so as long as it survives, it must be exquisite and magical.

Our world is at an unprecedented critical juncture, where mass extinctions and explosions are taking place in days, and the ecological chain is dynamically adjusting at a high speed almost at any time, with continuous destruction and continuous reconstruction overlapping.

The pressure of ecological imbalance will be transmitted to every species and every life along this invisible chain, and through them this pressure will be transmitted in all possible directions, and there will be a solution, the simplest, such as the complete collapse of the entire ecological chain itself, whether it is through the cross-species plague or the great famine or some other way, anyway, the problem can be 'solved' after all, but this solution is too thorough, it can be called 'internal injury', and it will take a longer time to ferment and brew......

Unfortunately or fortunately, our base city has provided a 'short, flat and fast' solution, so that all kinds of other 'possibilities' are directly stillborn, and the original countless possibilities have since become the only option. ”

Hearing this, everyone nodded secretly.

They are more inclined to this explanation than the statement that "nature has opened up the mind".

Just like a wooden barrel made up of many wooden strips, filled with water and continuously pressurized it, before the first piece of wood breaks, each piece of wood is under pressure, and there is a possibility of breaking, but when one of them breaks, the water naturally flows out of the gap, and the other sticks no longer have the pressure of breaking.
