Chapter 447: A thunderstorm is coming

The 35th day of the closure of Starport is also the 15th day of complete autonomy of the asteroid belt.

Xu Changqing arrived at Orgrimmar this morning to conduct an on-the-spot inspection here.

Located between Jupiter and Saturn, Orgrimmar is roughly similar in exterior to Stormwind, but with a larger saucer and fewer partitions, with only nine.

When the Velvet arrived, it was a busy place.

Most of them were requisitioned from the space stations of the asteroid belt to transport children in care, and the requisition was paid for, in addition to a free maintenance inspection, 3,000 ready-to-eat snacks and 3,000 bottles of mineral water.

The water and fast food are all from the Qingyun base.

Similarly, Xu Changqing has eaten and drunk. There is nothing to say about water. Fast food is compressed food, with an appropriate amount of water and microwave, and after opening the package, it is a steaming meal. It doesn't taste very good, but the nutrients are still enough.

Inside Orgrimmar is either a robot or an Earth cultist, the atmosphere is like an army, there is no polite etiquette to usher in, the pursuit of simplicity and pragmatism, more solemn, less warmth.

Xu Changqing, accompanied by an AI, visited various areas. I have experienced first-hand the specific problems that are not intuitive in the next report. For example, the beds for the children, the air quality, the warmth of the dormitory, etc.

Due to the hasty construction and the short trial operation time, various details inevitably appeared.

It's not a big deal, but it's often a big hassle for specific users. For example, noise, low temperatures, etc., which affect sleep. Even the smell of the futon purchased from the Republic of Mars can be a problem due to the lack of drying.

And that's nothing compared to gravity.

The gravity of each space station in the asteroid belt is not the same, and the gravity of each area of the same space station is also different.

As a result, the children have to be treated differently, which is a great inconvenience to the placement.

Xu Changqing paid special attention to it, even if there was a brain computer to take the marking service, it still seemed disorganized and noisy.

Now is the most undisciplined period, the details of the shelter are rapidly improving, and the children lack discipline. Seven or eight years old are annoying, it's really not just talking. Xu Changqing observed for a while, and felt that his head was noisy a few times.

He said in his heart, this is also the AI system, replaced by human power, not to mention the grandeur of this project, even the management of these little children is enough to make the Buddha angry, and child abuse or something will inevitably happen.

Jumping out of the containment project, Xu Changqing checked the hardware facilities of the space station, because they are all fully automatic and mechanized operations, the construction quality is naturally reliable, but it is not without problems, the information hoarded in his space station-related technology library is still a little thin, so that some details are actually completed in a clumsy and unreasonable way.

AI is actually a stupid apprentice, and its advantage is never invention and creation, but seriousness. The mistakes that are corrected will never be made again, but at the same time, it will keep making new mistakes.

This is also the main reason why Xu Changqing asked the space-time hunting group to cooperate with humans in the outermost planet of the Fourth Age of the Extreme Realm, the White Ghost. Although the brain computer is a biological computer, its lack of creativity has not improved much, and it needs an abundant database to become powerful, and a large part of this database is the conclusion that human beings have come to correct and improve the details.

Now Xu Changqing himself is already an expert in engineering, machinery, building structure, etc., and he can put himself in the shoes of some problems when he inspects this circle.

Of course, this is not enough, but for the time being, it will be so much. So far, he has no plans to raise his own scientific team in this world. If I had to say yes, no, these children who had just been taken in.

In the future, they will build this impersonal place into a real home.

He really wanted that day.

However, in the current situation, this hope is a bit extravagant.

Judging by his experience, the opponent is calm, and there is only one possibility, that is, he is waiting for a big one.

This big one may come from the outside, like the Fourth Age of the Extreme Realm, with a large number of warships arriving. Or from within, starting from the most populous earth, it will form a prairie fire, and in a short period of time, it will lay the foundation for victory, and build the earth into a base camp, relying on high-end biotechnology, sweeping the world and the solar system.

So does the federation have a similar understanding to Xu Changqing?

Of course.

Latticia? Salazar's prophecy has made it clear that the catastrophe of destruction is inevitable, and the difference lies in whether human civilization can survive this catastrophe, or what price it will pay.

The president's staff is the Salazar faction.

That is, they believe that the worst is bound to happen.

Not only that, but they also advised the president to believe in this as well.

And in the eyes of the president, this is not called faith, but gambling.

As his chief of staff said: "Your Excellency, although it is not your fault, I must say that during your tenure of office, a series of unbelievable events have greatly hindered your re-election, and according to the current survey statistics, we have no chance of winning next year's general election." In this case, trusting the prophecy of His Highness Salazar is the least bad option. ”

Of course, the chief of staff did not speak in vain, but handed the latest report to the president.

"The technology of time sales also clearly points out the direction."

At a glance, it is indeed very clear that neutron scanning technology is used to see, and mecha suits are used for combat, and it is the most basic level of fighting.

With two technologies, what can be guaranteed?

A safe base.

Nope.

It may seem like a few, but it's actually quite a lot.

Correspondingly, it also expresses the pessimism of time about the current situation.

The subtext is: don't think about those that don't have them, start to improve the most basic, get ready for a bloody battle, and then talk about the rest.

So the federation asked for a lot of technology during this time, and only these two really got it.

In fact, the Confederation has also gained from the republic.

However, this harvest involves one of the worst defections in history, so it cannot be made public.

It all started with the Friendship Space Station.

Since the Republic of China has initially completed its technological upgrades, ended its seclusion, and intends to improve its relationship with the Earth-Moon Federation, and jointly built a friendship space station, a dark war has begun.

The fur of this secret war is still the set of high-ranking officials and money beauties that have been passed down for thousands of years, and the core is an ideological war.

The political education of the republic is indeed powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to wash the whole world.

There are always the mountains that see the high, the depressed, the losers in the power struggle, the overambitious, and the opportunists.

Through contact during the construction of the Friendship Space Station, federal agents managed to take down some of the little people, and then used them to activate the dark lines within the republic.

Although the Republic carried out a comprehensive purge two years ago, and did not let its guard down in the next two years, there are still very deep agents who have not been dug up.

And one of the dark lines was transferred to a big fish, thus completing a shocking technical theft. There are as many as 23 specific technologies, and with these technologies, the construction of an advanced space station is just around the corner.

Through make-up and impersonation, the agent takes the big fish to complete a thrilling absconding.

The technology brought back made the Commonwealth side happy and crazy.

And then what?

This is where the disagreement begins. Whether to concentrate on arming oneself or to prioritize the creation of space shelters.

A lot of powerful people voted for the refuge.

The Federation's current force may be lacking in protecting the Earth and the Moon, but it is more than enough to protect a few Vaults.

So what these people mean, first understand their own retreat. Let's talk about the rest.

If people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed. There is nothing wrong with other people's statements, after all, human, material, and financial resources are actually in the hands of others.

The external statement is also very high-sounding. That is to lay a space grain production base to further solve the problem of grain and light industrial products for the moon. At the same time, it also involves the existential crisis of alien people, after all, Europa is occupied by space pirates, and at a glance, at least humanitarian rescue will have to start soon.

Of course, the common people of the Federation have long since disbelieved in these things.

Since the Republic's expedition to Mars, the Earth has been completely ruled by the blue camp, and the happiness index of ordinary people has deteriorated.

Relying on the migration to the moon and the development of the asteroid belt is better than a few years.

And then it didn't work, and I got stuck with the technology again.

The immaturity of technology makes the cost of developing alien domains too high, and the appetite of capital has always been strong, and there is no red camp to fight against the table, at least on Earth, the blue camp is a horizontal and vertical kick, and you can play how you want.

Therefore, the grain and milk are not poured into the river again, but this does not mean that all people on earth can have enough to eat. The earth still has a new era of Ethiopia, and shocking photos of children such as vultures can still be taken. Grain milk, on the other hand, was taken away at a low price, processed with more advanced processing and storage techniques, and then shipped to the moon and asteroid belts to compete with Ganymede's grain exports.

Many people have seen how the capitalists play, but so what? They are not asteroid carriers, they have long been intimidated and numb.

And the meaning of the president's chief of staff is to take advantage of the power in his hands, fight to the death, sing the opposite, and do everything possible to continue to promote the arming of the whole people.

"That's right, we're selling down and singing down, it's not authentic. With 164 days to go until next year's election, if a big war breaks out in the meantime, we will win. And it is unprecedented authority. Even if we fail, our strategy is not very wrong, after all, arming is the trend of the times. ”

After thinking about it, the president thought about it for two days, made many phone calls, and finally agreed to the proposal of the staff group.

So when Xu Changqing tried his best to contain the children, the Federation once again fried a pot of porridge, arguing with the angry Republic of Mars, and also quarreling internally.

The project faltered through this bickering, and the days passed.

The horrors of the asteroid belt went from shocking at first to numbing later, and it didn't take more than a month in total.

Humanity is not very willing to pay attention to it anymore except to admit that it has become hell.

Especially the people of the Earth-Moon Federation, many people expressed gritted hatred. Because the asteroid belt people slaughtered almost all the Federation like cattle.

In fact, people are still fairer, and killing their own people is not ambiguous, or even bloodier.

However, the Federation people don't see it that way, or they only value what they want to value, and the Earth-Moon Federation people there make them feel a little bit of empathy, and the asteroid belt people, in the words of a certain radical, "They are the deformed products of human civilization, and they are not worried about death." ”

A lot has already died, and in less than 40 days, the number of dead people has already exceeded a million.

Cannibalism has become a semi-public affair.

Pick the meat and cut it and eat it directly, and the rest becomes a solution mushroom, mushroom stew, and the slums are already openly selling this dark dish.

The rulers of the various space stations have basically changed, and the earliest batch of bigwigs have been brought down for various reasons, and the only thing in common is that none of them have a good death.

The new ones will either become more brutal and brutal, or they will do some appropriate personnel and rule the space station in more pragmatic ways, for example, to restore the operation of society to a certain extent.

There are good ones, such as the ruler of Ceres, whose salary has fallen to the point that he can only earn one meal a day's work, but he still flocks to these cheap products, which are used to trade with the pirates of Europa. Sometimes the Outland Confederation also collects some.

Of course, the price offered by the Foreign Federation is more reasonable, but the premise is that the quality of the things is good, and after the turmoil of the space stations, the lack of professional personnel, the damage of equipment are very headaches for the rulers, and the production plants that can ensure the quality of products are extremely limited as in the past.

But in any case, in the face of a desperate situation, society began to function again, the most basic, slow, bloody and deformed operation.

It was against this backdrop that the invasion of alien creatures broke out in full force.
