Chapter 458: Selfishness Turns Behind the Crisis
Everybody counts their lives.
Big account, small account.
The Earth-Moon Federation is now on the verge of bankruptcy, desperate to grasp every life-saving straw.
's life is almost gone, and it's shameless. In the past few days, there has been a group of people who have been grinding hard with the Republic of Mars, hoping that the Republic will increase its support, such as sending a new fleet.
But the republic can't do it at all, after all, they all have a big retreat plan, and they want to go to the star field where BB is located.
BB is about 628 AU from Mars, and even if the Republic of Mars uses all cutting-edge high-speed ships to increase the average speed to 1.1 million kilometers per hour, it will take 85,408 hours, 3,559 days, and nearly 10 years.
This is the gap caused by the technology generation gap.
The technology that Xu Changqing supported to the Republic of Mars, whether it was the engine, the energy power, or the energy shield, or even the detection system and the central computer system, could not be compared with his own use.
It's not that Xu Changqing is stingy, but the ship itself is a comprehensive test of the industrial grade project, and the republic can't take it if they give the most advanced technology to the republic, unless they have the courage to go directly to the new set and discard the old ones as Xu Changqing did on the Baowei V.
And even if they had the courage, the people would be willing to accept the drastic changes brought about by this kind of industrial leap, and it would take at least five years to complete the project, which is a matter of scale.
Xu Changqing is also based on the existing cutting-edge technology in this world, combined with some of the black technology (the first brain computer) that has been developed for more than half a year, and then planted the flag in the Tianwei Qingyun base, and after a few months of preparation, he went to Baowei V.
This is a very typical story of a small pioneer ship, colonial wilderness.
It was because of this that after two years of production construction, there was the turn of the Oberon, and later the return of the fleet in small batches.
The manufacturing fleet has slowed down the self-development of Bobos to a considerable extent. But this is Xu Changqing's request. Because today did not know what would happen tomorrow at that time, he had to prepare for the possibility that the great troubled times would come at any time.
And if the Republic of Mars changes production, it can't be done so small, otherwise it will lead to all kinds of production collapse due to the large internal technology generational gap, and the special zone model will work, but there are also all kinds of problems.
In short, even if the Republic of Mars is given more advanced technology, they will not be able to digest it in the short term.
It's the next-generation technology, and it took two years to digest it behind closed doors before it can be done, and it takes three years to really bear sweet fruit. That is, it took a total of five years, and now three years have passed, because of the big war and emergency adjustment, the five-year period can only be delayed for another seven years.
Seven years later, the production capacity of the Republic of Mars will be able to surpass that of the Earth-Moon Federation, and the quality of the products will be a big step higher than that of similar products of the Earth-Moon Federation.
And now it is a big technological step away from the outer city-states.
How much difference there is in this technological step depends on the fact that the outer city-states happily target alien warships with light spears, while the high-speed warships of the Martian Republic can only be reflected by looking at them.
It is precisely such a gap that even if there is a long enough runway to accelerate, it is impossible for the ships of the Martian Republic to outrun the super speed of the ships of the outer city-states from Bobosis to the eight planetary regions. Fuel problems, detection problems, protection problems...... At that high speed, the space environment in the solar system still doesn't seem empty enough, a small pebble can destroy a ship, and then a debris can destroy an entire fleet.
Even so, the republic is still in full swing with migration plans.
A very important reason is that they know that Xu Changqing is not from this world and will have to leave sooner or later.
Who will take over the inheritance of the foreign city-state?
If it's going to BB Star to explore, then there are too many problems, and if the alien fleet follows the trajectory all the way, the new base is not built, and the fleet runs out of resources, it will be a death.
But the base camp of the outer city-state is there, which has been developed quite well, and can be strongly supported in the past, and can be put into construction and production immediately.
In the eyes of the high-ranking members of the Republic, this is the most reliable escape path for mankind.
The Republican think tank carried out a series of calculations, including the first wave of warships, the second wave of transport groups, and the third wave of operational ship groups based on the ships sent back by Bowel...... The seventh wave of warship groups, through these, to estimate the production capacity of Bobos V.
The calculation is that if the outer city-states are willing to fully accept the fugitives, then humanity will be able to fight alien creatures in the solar system for at least eighty years.
If these eighty years of alien creatures have not been able to make a major breakthrough in technology, or make up for their shortcomings. Then there is still hope for humanity to take back the world.
To put it simply, the republic is a routine that relies on Xu Changqing.
The technology that Xu Changqing traded to them was just a springboard prepared to better rely on Xu Changqing.
If you look at things this way, it's a bit disgusting.
But you can look at it from another angle, or else?
Who did Xu Changqing leave all these legacies to? Blow? Or is it that the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty would rather give friends than domestic slaves?
Xu Changqing really can't do this kind of thing.
The republic also found out his temperament and knew that he still had some affection of the same kind and a strong sense of cultural identity.
What Xu Changqing has done on Earth recently also confirms this.
Helping anyone is helping, why not help someone who is relatively closer and more pleasing to the eye?
Like Japan and India, these countries do not see the war situation even if it is more serious.
The Americas, on the other hand, demand that they have enough food and clothing.
And judging from the current performance, the one that can give full play to the combat effectiveness of the battle armor is the Kua'e Clan Legion with the Earth Sect as the grassroots commander.
They were followed by the Legion of Hercules, all of which were commanded by outlandish city-states. It shows that it is still the strategic and tactical concept of others, and the command style is more suitable for the battle armor.
Then only sending troops, not sending generals, the meaning of helping deviations is obvious.
Besides, this is not a catastrophe with alien invasions, so the Republic is also watching people put down dishes and leaning on the outer city-states.
In comparison, the Republic of Mars can be calmly arranged, and can plan for decades or even a hundred years from now.
The Earth and Moon Federation will not be, they are now only looking at the present, and they are talking about other things after getting rid of the death calamity first.
From the perspective of productivity, the Earth-Moon Federation, with a population of 32 billion, is naturally a well-deserved boss, and before it was attacked by alien creatures, its ship-building capacity was 2.3 times that of the Martian Republic.
According to such an algorithm, the Earth-Moon Federation has adjusted its industrial structure and policies since the Republic of Mars closed itself three years ago, and the economy has transformed into a wartime system.
But this is not the case.
Along the way, the Earth-Moon Federation has experienced too many political twists and turns in the past three years, and it is almost the same as changing the order of the day.
In addition, the problem of redundant officials and redundant personnel is also very serious, inefficient, and the official government is far from implementing and enforcing the decrees of the Republic.
The most important thing is the top capital magnates who control important industries.
They are thinking about the problem, and the first starting point is profit.
Do I gain or lose doing this?
If it is a loss-making transaction, even if everyone loses together, it is also unwilling of the boss.
As for whether this deal is beneficial in the interests of the Federation as a whole, that is none of my business? Haven't I done charity every year? Could it be that I will ruin my family and relieve my difficulties? I didn't get my money in the wind, it's hard to earn money, it's hard to eat, I don't know?
In fact, this is the fundamental reason why Xu Changqing doesn't look down on capital.
The reason why he prefers the Republic of Mars is not only because of cultural identity and other reasons, but also because he himself is tantamount to taking the road of dictatorship.
One person is civilized, to put it bluntly, he is a super emperor, the world is mine, but I am also responsible for all things in the world.
Such a ass is sitting on a centralized power. The biggest difference between the imperial system and the feudal system is the centralization of power.
And the road of national socialism taken by the republic is also a kind of centralization.
There is no one who can take on the position of emperor, so there is no emperor at all, only a cabinet and a chairman, which can be regarded as a leader.
The biggest difference between this system and the capital system is that it focuses on the concept of the state, and in many cases it has to consider problems from this perspective.
Capital is not like this, the existence of the country in the eyes of capital is necessary because with it I can make more money and make more money. Rather than being confined by the state in reverse.
Capital has never been limited by the concept of the state, whether it is in the United Kingdom, or later left in the United States, or in the operation in Europe, the country is the state, capital is capital, when the capital is harvested, it is not said that it is spared because it is a native person, but it is harvested outside, due to policy and other reasons, more dramatic and tragic characteristics, the other party is more lacking in resistance, and the ghost who is cut cries wolf, as if it is more ruthless to outsiders.
It is precisely because of this essence that Xu Changqing does not expect the capital tycoons behind the federation to be noble and righteous in the catastrophic climate of human annihilation.
If they had that awareness, they would not be capitalists.
I'd rather die than be poor. If you have money, you have power, you have power, you have dignity to die, you are poor, and you live like hell.
Therefore, capitalists will be at the peak of their money position, and they will eventually die miserably because of money.
No, what those powerful people in the Earth Moon Federation were most afraid of had happened, their money was deprived, just like they were worried about, their life was worse than death now.
And the reason for all this is precisely because they only want to reap the benefits, do not want to take responsibility, and in the end there is no real consciousness to work together to protect the market. I only think about how to minimize my losses in the process of market breakdown.
With such selfishness, things can't get better.
Now, the space colonization satellite program carried out by the magnates has turned into lime and is used to deal with the alien fleet.
If you can't even defend the starport, how can you still have the ability to defend the space colonization satellite? As long as the alien fleet is no longer blind, it can be dismantled by the solar wind.
The great exodus of mankind is a foregone conclusion, will these things stay to fund the enemy?
It's all waste.
And the moon side.
The lunar colony is the heavy industry base of the Federation, and a large part of the real wealth of the capital tycoons is here.
After the war clouds gathered here, it did increase its production at full capacity.
However, the capitalists are laying the way back and planning for the future, and have been screening and transferring personnel, technology, and materials. Pack and stock up for a comeback in the future.
Therefore, even if the president of the Federation took their belongings in the name of jihad, the hundred-legged insects did not stiffen, and they still had their own way to escape.
Not to mention how these guys play.
In terms of the Federation's current production capacity, the lunar colonies are in a very bad situation right now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rapidly eroding.
The chaotic order has already caused a serious decline in production capacity, and the rampant infestation of alien creatures has caused people to have no intention of doing anything.
In the past week, production efficiency has hit a new low, and less than 10 ships have completed outfitting in the last three days......
Is this the base of heavy industry with six billion people?
Xu Changqing didn't want to say anything, and directly showed with his actions that the outer city-states didn't even support this side with a single screw.
This kind of immature and unpoliticianish behavior of love and hate has also led to more and more despair among the people of the lunar colonies.
But so what, from Xu Changqing's point of view, in the face of this catastrophe, the tragedy of a large number of population losses will inevitably occur.
Full of malice, it is not tragic enough, where to find variables?
Besides, he didn't watch from the wall, so he didn't enter in time.
His past actions are not pretending to be cold, but not believing in others and believing in himself, and establishing a system for development. should be supported, and he rightly supports it.
Now that we are engaged in rescue, who is not saved by saving? Since they are all rescued, why can't they be rescued by acquaintances and people who understand first?
Earthlings, even if they are unaccustomed to white Europeans and Americans, at least have some impression of their national character.
The moon man will not become, and he will not draw conclusions just by hearsay.
Then let's look at how people and things they do with consequentialism.
With this kind of performance of less than ten ships outfitting in three days, it is comparable to the muddy asteroid belt people, so why save it? What can you do if you are rescued?
And there are some words, even if they are not said, everyone should understand that there are too many rescues and not enough food to eat......
