Chapter 807: Fundamental
The underwater part of the Atlantic Floaters has reached the deepest point of about 1,800 meters below sea level, and is divided into 130 floors for use or habitation, of which about one-fifth of the space is used for the installation of equipment or for Artemis to "generate" new equipment, and the top three floors of about 170 meters are managed by a special committee assigned to Congress according to the agreement, while the Pentagon is the actual administrator, the first level has about 30 meters of usable space height, and the second level has 80 meters, The third layer is twenty-five meters high, and of course, there are submarine bases deeper under the control of the Pentagon, but the management is still in the hands of Titan.

Of course, in addition to the three underground floors, the vast majority of the surface part of the land is also under the management of the Pentagon, and because it is a completely controlled sea base with sufficient resources of its own, this makes Dapa very inclined to build a secret weapons test site on the Atlantic Floaters - in fact, Phoebe once demanded that the surface part of the Atlantic Floaters be tested with a medium-yield nuclear explosive device to test the structural stability of the Atlantic Floaters before they are put into service, and the decontamination of the nuclear explosion contaminated area to verify Titan's ability to quickly recover from the radiation-stricken area, so that Titan's national procurement of products will be one more, and at the same time, it will also invalidate the "incriminating evidence" that the FBI has been holding in its hands and not disclosed, and Titan has decontamination of the nuclear-contaminated soil and air.
And both Congress and the Pentagon believe that even if the Atlantic Floaters built in the Caribbean Offshore Circle are really unable to resist a direct attack by nuclear weapons, there is no problem, because Unclad has successfully carried out eighty-six orbital debris cleanup operations, proving that the North American ballistic weapons interception system with orbital debris removal capabilities is already perfect, and most importantly, Phoebe does not intend to pay for the weapons used in the test, so Congress is petty and just agrees to choose a good location, The Pentagon regretted the blasting test of thermite incendiary bombs and the attack test of ground-penetrating blasting bombs.
The purpose of Phoebe's request for this strategic-level test is actually to reassure people, after all, according to the agreement, a considerable number of people in Congress and various departments of the government will have the right to reside on the Atlantic Floaters, and she must let these people become the vanguard of protecting Titan and the floating islands, so as said before, although Phoebe's purpose in building the floating islands is not to make a large base that can hide from the end or war, but to hide many of Titan's core secrets here, But she just doesn't tell anyone else. So for others, this self-sufficient sea fortress has become the best choice for refuge, after all, in their opinion, since Phoebe has strongly requested a nuclear weapons test, then it means that it must be able to resist the attack of nuclear weapons - in fact, just by seeing the size of Titan, many people recognize Phoebe's self-confidence, after all, the island with a radius of 5,000 square kilometers can be seen with the naked eye on the International Space Station. Although the Titan was not concealed by Phoebe, everyone also felt that the Atlantic Floaters were a perfect home, and when everyone found that Phoebe could not only introduce the most powerful American army in the world on the floating island, but also reserve a considerable amount of territory for all the Titan people, the blind worship of Phoebe who could lead them forward and lead them to hold the success they had achieved was even more unstoppable.
In fact, there are also a small number of people in the Ministry of Defense and Congress who also admire Phoebe very much, because they all know very well that Phoebe has grown from scratch to her current status in a very short period of time.
Some people think that Phoebe was resurrected from the dead like Jesus, they think that she was killed at the time of the Nanyang Incident, and she was resurrected after the warship found her at sea, and the main reason why they think so is that it is impossible for an eight-year-old child to drift on the sea in the tropics for three days without food and water, and more importantly, the box containing Phoebe at that time was emitting blood into the sea all the time, and the number of sharks in the Java Sea is quite large, It is impossible for the small rattan box to stop the shark from striking lightly, so it must be that Phoebe is favored, so the animals dare not disturb it.
Among these people, some believe that Phoebe is a Jesus-like being, others believe that Phoebe is a Mary destined to give birth to the Holy Spirit, and some believe that Phoebe is the son of a demon god, or a witch or the inheritor of a druid...... In short, the gods that these people worship in private are different, but one thing they all have in common is that they all believe that no animal dares to hurt Phoebe, and only humans will hurt Phoebe because of their sins or being blinded by their hearts.
At the same time, these people are also the most active people who want to live on the Atlantic floaters, plus Phoebe previously informed everyone that it is forbidden to appear any religious signs and religious buildings on the floating islands, but believers can build religious boats to dock around the floating islands at the expense of believers, so that the relevant believers can go to the religious ships to carry out religious activities, which makes many people believe that Phoebe may be hindered by the interpretation of some current scriptures and texts, and it is inconvenient to disclose the religion she really supports. So all kinds of religious ships have sprung up around the Atlantic floaters, and what's even more interesting is that someone actually funded the construction of a religious ship dedicated to worshipping Phoebe, and it was not one, but three, and the teachings in these three ships are also different, one is to worship Phoebe alone, the other is Phoebe at the head and worships with the members of Girls' Generation, and the third is to worship the members of Girls' Generation and Phoebe on the same level.
In fact, Phoebe herself was a bit of a headache by people's religious fervor, and she wanted to say, "Wouldn't it be nice to have the effort to read more books?" But the problem is that the Titan once helped her remind those outsiders that Phoebe doesn't like personality cults, of course, the Titan people added their own understanding of this sentence when they explained, so when those outsiders understood again, it became "It's not enough to worship me".
These people even called Barbara a disciple of Phoebe, and when Barbara was on the floating island, they went to Barbara almost every day to ask about what Phoebe had said and done, and wanted to learn the way of recording the "Cobalt Blue Whale" to create the "Phoebe" scriptures - the idea of such people is easy to understand, and they want to become "saints" who record the scriptures.
For Phoebe, there are so many people in the world, and religious beliefs are like carp crossing the river, believing in everything, so the appearance of these people is not very surprising to her, but it makes her feel a little early, after all, Titan is still in an important period of digging people, and she wants to condense the people they have dug into a new nation, completely severing the emotional connection between the Titan people and the original nation. And once these people are united for religious reasons, although on the surface they are also a new nation, in essence, the Titan people will still maintain an emotional connection with the original nation and country, which is absolutely intolerable for Phoebe.
Barbara also knew Phoebe's intentions, and she very much agreed with Phoebe's plan to sever the emotional ties between the Titan nine and the original people - in fact, Barbara hated the Germans very much, especially after she joined the Langley Company and received a lot of intelligence training, and even more hated the West Germans who took over most of the power in East Germany.
And Barbara on the Atlantic Floater, is also busy with this matter, according to Phoebe's plan, from now on, all the teenagers of Titan, no longer have to study in various schools in the locality, but uniformly use Titan's teaching materials and teaching resources for learning, Barbara knows Phoebe's purpose, so she also attaches great importance to this matter, after all, there are examples from the Prussian era, the Germans are through compulsory education to standardize the thinking of the new people, and then comprehensively eliminate illiteracy, In the end, the German nation, which had been divided for centuries, was brought together.
Phoebe said to Barbara very clearly, "Education is quite necessary for most young people, and in addition to developing the people's intelligence and providing high-quality talents for the country, there are several aspects that have never been mentioned." For rulers, maintaining the stability of social order can make the cost of increasing national strength cheaper, so what kind of people are most likely to disrupt social order? ā
The answer is teenagers.
The worldview promoted in the traditional cognitive structure is only a partial excerpt from some of the research results. The earliest codification and study of the modern worldview was in a seventeenth-century church school in England, where Protestant teachers tried to make a more detailed division of the state of the educated group in order to break the traditional superiority of Catholicism and Judaism in education, which was only a relative advantage, and what they initially obtained was the result of the division of spiritual maturity.
Later, with the formation of the empire, England had been worried about the centripetal force of the colonies everywhere, and on this basis, the question of spiritual maturity was further studied, which was actually studied as a metaphysics at the time, and the Druid Presbyterians of North Wales and Scotland were also involved in this study, which was of course a fact that had to be concealed by the Protestant priests......
The results of this study provided the rationale for the passage of the bill on the employment of child workers by capitalists in the House of Parliament during the subsequent Industrial Revolution in Britain. At the same time, the main result of this research was the emergence of the first nationalist ideology in Britain, which was the first to reduce the neonatal mortality rate to less than 1 in 1,000, and obtained two foundations for world domination, one was a rapidly increasing population and the other was a centripetal force for the country.
However, once theory is applied to practice, and it is applied too widely in practice, it will inevitably produce unexpected deviations, as the colonies continue to study nationalism in depth, the uneven level of understanding creates a bias in the national identity of each locality, and the colonists are regarded by the native residents as second-class citizens within the empire, and the distinction between good and evil by faith, which has been carried over as early as the Catholic period, has also been mixed into the worldview of narrow nationalists during this period. Because Britain only saw the benefits of education at that time, but did not see the benefits of compulsory education, the education of the colonies was like the aristocratic schools and public schools in the modern United States, and there was a considerable deviation, so the centripetal force on Britain quickly collapsed under the disruption of the chaotic and disorganized education system.
In the unified German region of Prussia, it is just the opposite, the education system supervised by the emperor himself does not distinguish between public and private, and all adopt the same teaching standards, which makes the German national centripetal force spread to the parents of the children through the education of children in just a few years, so that the German nation can be quickly condensed together, of course, it is also because of this, the Germans in the German-speaking areas of Austria and other regions did not produce such a centripetal force, as for the yearning for Germany at the beginning of World War II, It was only after seeing that Germany was quickly emerging from the economic crisis that these German-speaking people immediately became the leading party.
The most interesting thing is that in the United States after World War II, due to the rise of television media, some sociologists immediately perceived that state-led compulsory education is no longer the only choice to unite the centripetal force of the whole country, and for this reason, the United States immediately canceled its investment in public schools across the country, and at the same time prohibited private schools from adopting different teaching methods from kilometer schools, which is the famous "anti-intellectual thought". Although this saved a lot of money, in fact, the work of condensing the centripetal force of the American state was completely handed over to the television media, so with the rise of the Internet, the centripetal force of the United States became worse day by day, so that "terrorist" and "terrorist" organizations based on various ideas appeared in the country......
When Phoebe shared these analyses with Barbara, Barbara agreed, because one of her priorities in Eastern Europe was to bribe principals and teachers of local primary and secondary schools to instill in their classrooms a biased view of Western society, especially the United States...... Although this may lead some people to yearn for the United States, and after going to the United States, they find that the United States is not what they think, and then have the desire to return to China to serve the country, but on a large scale, if a country's economy can rise, as is the case in Germany now, the people who stay in the country will indeed have a sense of pride in their country, and then become patriotic, but once the country suffers a setback, they will immediately turn, in fact, these people can be seen as leading the way in both sides, seemingly patriotic or traitorous, but in essence, It's just for personal interests, after all, personal interests are not only economic interests, psychological satisfaction, but also personal interests.
And one of Barbara's tasks left on the floating island is to comprehensively urge the Titan people to hand over their children as soon as possible, of course, the compulsory education of Titan was designed by Phoebe herself, and even included a visit to the Pentagon's weapons test site on the second basement floor, and this really made the children happy, and sincerely felt that the Titan where their parents were, under the leadership of His Royal Highness Phoebe, became stronger and stronger, because the secret training ground of the United States is as strong as the United States, and it will be open to us to visit, You know, this is a treatment that even American children don't have......
