Chapter 437: Chaos in Stormwind City
The space station transformed by the combination of the B3234 communication transfer station of the Hot Wind River was named 'Storm City' by Xu Changqing.
Obviously, this is the usual nostalgic spoof again, the other two being 'Orgrimmar' and 'Argus'.
The construction speed of Stormwind City is calculated in hours, and when the total construction time exceeds 100 hours, it can already be partially used. After 200 hours, all the functions that the space station should have are complete.
The transformation is still underway, and the unmanned towed boat picks up the materials discarded in space, and the engineering ship eats them, and spits out qualified construction materials or parts.
Stormwind gradually took on its own style, and the landscape belonging to B3234 and the hot air space station became less and less until it disappeared completely.
The new Stormwind City is like a string, a drill, a string full of burning areas, and the light from a large number of doors and windows and other facilities makes the sky vista like a starlight.
And a little closer, the atmosphere of civilization comes to the surface, order, and the splendor of lights that make people feel safe and comfortable.
Stormwind City adopts the traditional form of docks, with passages of different lengths reaching into space, strips, personnel and goods all go from the inside, and the passages are full of mechanical arms, anchor pliers and other facilities, and ships dock left and right.
Everything in the saucer zone with a dock relies on energy to form artificial gravity, while other saucer zones rely on centrifugal force. Because it is large enough, people in the depths cannot feel its rotation at all, and it is difficult to detect it even if they stand in front of the window and observe.
Stormwind is about 2.5 times the size of the St. Michael's space station, and its dock passage is collapsible, allowing it to move forward like a ship when it is folded axially in parallel. It has an upper and lower head, with powerful communication facilities at the top and a propulsion system with four large and four small cylindrical rings at the tail.
When it is completed, it is moved between Jupiter and the asteroid belt, and this position is not fixed, but will be adjusted in stages.
When Stormwind arrived, the Republic's exploration of the Eros fragments had not yet ended, and the Federation's analysis of the remains of the alien supergiant eggs allocated to them had only just begun.
So when Stormwind City appeared, not to mention the Federation, even the Republic sighed that Xu Changqing's side was amazingly efficient, and the space station that could accommodate 150,000 people was completed.
Of course, in terms of total construction capacity, the Republic and the Federation are sharper, and the two major forces are now frantically building ships.
The kind of ship that has already been made is built with an efficiency of more than 100 ships per day, and the ship's personnel are also being recruited and trained, and almost all the reserve crew members will complete the boarding within three months.
Humanity has entered a state of war, and is being further deepened and broadened in order to achieve the effect of full entry.
The economy of the Earth-Moon Federation is improving rapidly as if it has been stimulated, and it is doing shelter construction everywhere, and this construction boom has driven the entire economic chain, whether it is the earth or the moon, as long as you are not lazy, you can definitely find a job, and the pay is often very good.
Against this backdrop, the eleventh-ranked Lambda space station and the fourteenth-ranked Kersey space station were attacked by alien creatures.
The method of attack is to use the hull of the ship that has been abandoned by humans.
After the alien creature covers the hull, it can avoid general optical detection and radar detection through energy absorption, but it still has loopholes after all, and the premise of energy absorption is that the biological characteristics are obvious and the cell activity is strong, and in this state, its temperature cannot be too low, so the thermal system can detect it.
It's a pity that the two space stations, the related facilities are lacking, and they can't be found in time, and the alien creatures have taken a dense breakthrough, and after all, there are still ships crashing into the starport, and the resistance is basically over within an hour later, and the latest rescue at that time takes more than two hours to arrive.
However, the federal officers and soldiers carried out a comprehensive investigation of the Ganymede planting base, but found no trace of alien creatures.
Of the twenty-four space stations named after the Greek alphabet, seven were destroyed, and an Eros star was built, and the asteroid belt people were completely panicked.
The most populous Ceres, Vesta, Wisdom, and Marriage (the last three are more than 400 kilometers in diameter), as well as the Righteous God and the Spirit God, the situation of these six space stations is not bad, and the administrative control ability of the Federation is strong.
Other space stations like Alpha and Beta, which are in the forefront of the faction, are barely controlled, and the rest are really not done. Four of these stations were hit by vicious incidents, and federal civil servants were killed and expelled.
The Federation can be regarded as finding an excuse, completing the evacuation of personnel from the ten space stations in one go, and then saying to the asteroid belt people of these space stations: "You are free, and the autonomy is given to you." ”
This result once made the people of the space station cheer and held a grand celebratory parade.
In interviews, many people said that this was a huge victory for the people of the Asteroid Belt in the fight for democracy and freedom over the years.
Others smug their words: the Federalists gave up their property and fled with their tails between their legs.
Reports about the parade were seen by Xu Changqing at the Pig and Whistle Bar in Stormwind City.
Xu Changqing saw the news at the Pig and Whistle Bar.
In this regard, he was no longer able to complain, swallowed the food, drank a few large sips of dark beer, and then waited for Ella? Olivier's phone.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the special line to be connected.
What Ella talked to him about in this situation was naturally how Kyushu Industry interacted with the asteroid belt people of the space station abandoned by the Federation.
If you want to change Xu Changqing's thinking, at this time, you will definitely choose to watch from the wall, so that those who celebrate freedom can taste the true taste of freedom.
But Ella doesn't think like this, she still wants to save, through persuasion and reasoning, to make the people of the asteroid belt realize how terrible freedom without order is, and how weak freedom without economic support is.
"You made this call, and I knew you wanted me to help you hang up. It's okay to hang up, but I won't raise them in vain, pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold the mother, parade and make trouble when I have nothing to do, and do everything except not do the right thing. ”
"I think you're too prejudiced about asteroid people." Ella sighed helplessly.
"No matter how many grievances they have, no matter whose fault it is that they didn't study for a few days, the result I see is like this, I don't save this poor, I only save the emergency. Therefore, the Qingyun base can afford the supply of food and water, but Kyushu Industry needs to come up with corresponding products in exchange. Trading at market prices, not disaster relief, this is my bottom line. ”
"But ......"
"No, no. If the federation doesn't save it, the republic doesn't save it, I save it, this is already a hanging. The system I build has its own goals. It's not for the sake of saving the suffering. ”
"Don't the asteroid belt people want to stand up on their own? This is an opportunity. Let them find their own way to survive, and learn to distinguish what is a fool of the mouth and what is self-help through labor. Sooner or later, this one will have to go, a little more miserable, a little bloodier, and it is easier to remember it for a long time. Of course, if you can carry the burden of fourteen space stations, I would be happy to see it. ”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Changqing roughly calculated the minimum consumption of food and water for the fourteen space stations, and then shook his head.
The Asteroid Belt people have a specially invented slang word, elala, which means traitor to the people, similar to a lackey, traitor, etc.
In the past, there was a federation pressed on it, playing the most hated villain, helping the federation to do things, such as the police with indigenous identity or something, and became a traitor to the people in the eyes of the people.
Xu Changqing felt that the time had come to test the quality, who was the one who really harmed people, whether it was the indigenous policemen who maintained order and did collect a little money, or the freedom advocates who advocated stirring up trouble all day long.
To be honest, Xu Changqing is a little bad in this regard.
He wanted to see how those who usually advocate rebellion, but could not come up with effective plans at critical moments, rode on people's heads, and blindly demanded people's patience and support, and their faces became more and more disgusting, and how they could act.
He also wanted to see what it was like for the evil seekers of freedom to find out that they had driven away a brutal lion and then crushed a bunch of hungry and greedy wolves on their heads.
The reason why he has such a bad taste is somewhat related to his current positioning. Rulers, dictators, tyrants...... Sitting in this seat, the ass is naturally disgusted with those tricksters and thorns.
There is always such a Zhao family, after all, no matter how good the system is, it can't get rid of the essence of oppression.
He always plays the role of the Zhao family, but he naturally dislikes those barefoot men who want to be the Zhao family, fan the flames all day long for the Zhao family, and demagoguery, as well as the cannon fodder who love to listen to Aixin's remarks and are sold and help them count the money.
He didn't want to save the people in the asteroid belt, and the reason why he used the Hunting Association to massacre and establish a terrifying Iron Curtain order was the same as the reason why he used the Hunting Association to massacre and establish a terrifying Iron Curtain order, that is, there were too many people who felt that the asteroid belt was foolish and unwilling to do business.
He did not see the characteristics of thrift and hard work in the asteroid belt people, but what he saw was like the living habits of seafarers in the old days, gambling, getting drunk, spending money on the streets and willows, and then trying to make money.
With this kind of customs, you still want to start a country?
"I never thought people could be stupid like this." Even a woman like Mary can see the point of the problem.
At this time, Xu Changqing said some actual situations fairly and objectively: "In fact, as the party that bears the most intimidation, ordinary people are the first to be unable to hold back, which is normal. ”
Alien raids, which are one side of intimidation, are shared by all, rich or poor.
So far, the way to avoid this threat with a high probability is to live in the spaceship in the star port, although the entire human world, non-military ships, are basically out of service, but at the critical moment, get rid of the attacked space station in time and enter space to become an island, at least it can be delayed for a while, maybe the situation will improve at that time.
This little bit of hope makes it difficult to find tickets for spaceships on various space stations, even if they are sampan-class, and they have to live there if they are bankrupt, which is the most basic of the five major human needs, and no one can go against this instinct.
However, the two space stations of Lambda and Kxi prove that the alien creatures attach great importance to the starport, after all, the starport is sealed, and the space station becomes a stuffy tank, and basically none of them can escape.
Two space stations were attacked, and none of the ten ships that managed to leave Starport managed to leave.
According to survivors, the alien creatures have army-like combat power in the early stages, and after hitting a hard landing, they will rush out of the monster like an attack pod to launch a landing, and their first target is the other ships in the starport.
Despite this, the enthusiasm for staying on the ship is still undiminished, just for the less than 1 in 10 probability of escape.
The second side of intimidation is also the existential pressure, food, water, and even air. The pressure on this ordinary person is far greater than that of federal employees, wealthy people, and most of those who incite rebellion.
Let's not talk about the first two categories, let's just say that they incite rebels, these people don't go back to eat and drink well, and then put on makeup like professional beggars to work to encourage others to make trouble, and there are relatively few people who really have this condition.
The instigator is sharp in that he cares less, at least he makes himself careless.
Alone, a son and daughter of the revolution, he left his family and business to dedicate himself to everyone, whether others believe it or not, he himself believes it.
How can ordinary people compare to these iron-hearted people? Ordinary people are old, young, and have friends in the middle, and they don't want to let go, what kind of pressure is that?
Therefore, people's rebellion is not a simple 'stupid' that can be summed up, but it is indeed stupid, because the more this time, the more people dig the pit, and they are vaguely aware of it, but they still choose to jump into the pit, because it is easier, you just need to believe in the fool, and follow it, it seems to be fine, this is stupidity......
