Time has unconsciously entered the fifth year of the Catastrophe calendar.

The Holocaust calendar is counted from the year and day when alien creatures crashed into the Pacific Ocean, causing a natural disaster like a nuclear-like winter.

The locust fleet swarms appeared in late October of that year and were annihilated in the Battle of Stardebris River in the airspace outside Pluto in late April of the following year.

Two years later, 25 months to be exact, three more locust fleets appeared, and five months later, on the same day, they were annihilated by the fleets of the outer city-states.

That was three months ago, and now it's the beginning of April of the new year.

Alien invasions, nuclear winter holasms, lunar exiles, super solar wind......

After a series of major events, for many earthlings, the surface of the earth has become unrecognizable, and it is no longer the home planet they are familiar with.

The world has changed from {Blade Runner} to {Forsaken Battlefield}, pick up the car and drive through the wasteland, and the landscape along the way is like the South Pole in summer, full of ice and snow that has not yet completely melted, and bare gravel Gobi.

Without lush vegetation, the winds generated by the hot and cold currents went unimpeded, carrying away crushed snow, mud, humus, and gravel.

Traces of the past can be seen from time to time in the gravel, which five years ago were mostly colorful buildings, and now they are buried in ruins.

The former city has also become an amusement park for adventurers, after all, there are still people who have passed the life of scavengers, there are always poor people, there are always the bottom, even in Huameng, there is still misery and despair behind the prosperity, the reasons are often very complex, not simply laziness or disability.

If it's just for sightseeing and remembrance, then it's best to have a taste of the urban ruins, and those who see the business opportunities in them deliberately use equipment to circle the area to form a theme park, and there is even a high-fidelity amusement park like {Westworld} for people to enjoy.

Outside the area, there is danger, not only hunters, but also the possibility of encountering the remaining alien infected, or even combatants.

When you walk along the road to the sea, you will no longer see a magnificent ocean with turbid waves, but more like a huge backwater lake.

In the distance, you can see a huge artificiality and seawater absorption device. It was indeed very similar to the landscape of the same kind constructed by {Forsaken Battlefield}, except that there were no tides.

This kind of big guy with a volume of kilometers belongs to the outer city-states, and there are more than 1,000 such facilities in the world.

Windy legend has it that the outland city-state planned to completely drain the sea in order to deal with alien creatures.

Some people also say that this is part of the planetary transformation, pumping water is to atomize in the stratosphere, water molecules and dust combined, the weight increases, it will turn into rain and return to the ground, so that the problem similar to nuclear dust and haze can be solved in a few years, so that the blue sky is visible, and then it will be used for more than ten years, and the earth's ecology can be basically restored.

There is also a theory that the technology of the foreign city-states has made breakthroughs again, water has replaced steel as the new main industrial material, soft machinery will be the new darling, and cold and hard metal machinery has become obsolete. So the outland city-states needed a lot of water to make new materials.

This last argument cannot be said to be groundless. In fact, as the industrial system has completed its initial accumulation and passed the infant period smoothly, the geometric industrial expansion has officially arrived.

If someone were to inspect the Guardians now, the first thing they would think would be: "Oh my day, this is really against the sky!" ”

More than 5 million sets of production lines are working day and night, and more than 40 million ships are collecting resources around the clock, going to the cultivation area, specializing in the production of brain computers in the tank to form a forest, covering an area of millions of square kilometers. The entire planet has been completely transformed into Cybertron, and there is more than one Bobos.

Energy + Laws, full manufacturing, the outer city states are already carrying out a comprehensive format operation of the BB satellite and the satellite, and it has entered the end.

After being chewed and eaten by civilization, what is spit out is something called order, and the number is in billions.

In the core base of the outer city-state of BB, the daily energy consumption is equivalent to the explosion of 100 nuclear bombs with a yield of 100 million tons.

Without such a terrifying production capacity, Xu Changqing would not say that he wanted to change the pattern of the planets in the solar system, he had never been a person who liked to blow, and when he said this, he must have the certainty of doing it.

That's pretty much it now. The Kuiper Belt is being quickly picked up by the ships of the outer city-states, what is the concept of 40 million ships moving? It's these ships, if they are connected head to tail, that they can go all the way from Earth to Mars.

Outland city-states have reached a point where there are no metal resources available, so they must be topped with new materials.

As a result, the Leopard Man's silicon-based series, as well as the water series derived from xenobiotechnology, have all appeared on the stage.

In order to develop technology, the outer city-states have invested a huge force unimaginable to ordinary people.

Especially after the geometric expansion of the system and the temporary need to rebuild ships, resources and other forces are fully inclined to technology research and development, and the deduction system composed of a large number of giant brain computers has a trillion trillion per second, two trillion yuan, and 90% of it is used for simulation experiments.

And the experimental field, it is 1 million +. In other words, there are 1 million experimental projects that have reached the operational stage at the same time, and for each completion of the project, there will be new projects on top.

It can be said that with the wisdom of the entire human group now, the superposition of thinking ability is not enough to find so many experimental projects.

It is no exaggeration to say that the outer city-states are equivalent to the absolute sanity of human civilization, which is equivalent to 30 billion people frantically producing and manufacturing and climbing technology.

Against this backdrop, R&D results in applied science and technology are being developed almost daily. It can even be said that the ships produced today, by the time they wait for tomorrow, may already be of the third or fourth generation.

Many products are phased out after being produced in small batches, and more advanced alternatives have emerged.

According to the estimation of the brain computer AI, at the current rate of development, in ten years, in addition to the sun itself, other materials in the solar system, including planets, will be repeated.

At that time, the solar system will no longer be pristine, but will be built into a super fortress by humans according to their own will, like a wilderness turned into a city.

Xu Changqing is still not satisfied with this, it is still too slow, a higher level of science and technology, and a faster development speed. Since we can already study particles, we can find new energy sources from a more microscopic world, and only by unlocking the locks of energy can science and technology continue to upgrade wildly and our production capacity can continue to expand geometrically.

As for civilization, the humanities are indeed missing, and the spiritual civilization is also many steps behind, it doesn't matter, as long as the technology is high enough, you can make up for the lack of spiritual orientation with technology, everyone has a long lifespan, they all become cultivators, and they are experiencing and growing in a highly realistic world, so the ideological realm will naturally improve.

Is that really the case? To be honest, Xu Changqing didn't know.

But it doesn't matter, we can try to do it, okay, let's do it first.

In this world, he feels that his biggest gain is to look down on everything and complete the transformation of returning to the basics.

The previous open atmosphere was based on quality, the product of education and self-education, and it was virtual but not real. Along the way, in less than ten years, I have seen the rise and fall of more intimate and human nature, and it is the idea and attitude that has really gone through thousands of sails.

He just thinks now that it's no longer interesting to talk about those little things. When he came to his position, he was faced with things of this level, the rise and fall of the race, and the future of civilization, which was indeed one of his main thoughts, as for suffering, death and injury, feelings, hatred, and the happiness and misfortune of thousands of families, they had become important and unimportant details.

In the summer of the fifth year of the Holocaust, Tesla's electromagnetic transmission technology was applied to machinery manufacturing.

This represents the further improvement of electromagnetic restraint technology, and the characteristics of energy as equipment components in the Xiandao system have now been fully realized at the basic level with electromagnetic restraint technology.

And in the eyes of ordinary people, this means magic, just under the effect of energy release, in a magnetic field, nuclear fusion occurs, the ore is smelted, processed, and finally a piece of ore becomes a wrench or alloy plate.

With the beginning, there is a path to improvement, continuing to complicate operations and manufacturing finished products with more complex structures.

Reduced energy consumption, the same energy output power, to create larger equipment......

Organic superconducting substances have replaced magnetic sources, and pure water with great strength has become a new material, giving people the feeling that this kind of creation has the characteristics of jellyfish. The inside is soft and the outside is transparent.

That's how the name soft machinery comes from.

But such a lump or a stall replaces a 10,000-ton hydraulic press, a gantry crane, or even an entire dry dock and an oil refinery, which is simply a challenge to human imagination.

When the outer region city-state took out this kind of product, the first feeling of the high-level of the Martian Republic was: the god-level alliance of the outer gods had arrived, and the secondary technology was opened.

There are no gods, in the context of the great extinction of the heavens and all worlds, Xu Changqing is lonely and lonely, running in the unknown where he has no direction, relying on his unremitting heart of progress, he ran out of such a strange road.

Although he did not participate in specific research, he knew the direction of the entire research system, so to speak, the science and technology of the foreign city-state is advancing around his concept, from matter and energy, from macro to micro, from body to soul, forward, and then forward, finally, the end of science is philosophy, the end of philosophy is theology, and now material science and technology have been integrated with energy technology.

While his own technology is changing with each passing day, he has not forgotten to pull the humans of this world.

The republic was given a system of synchronous production of ideas.

This system is simply understood, just like human beings looking at holographic projections, thinking, and using simulated hands, through various tools and software, and even including pinching plasticine, to adjust objects, from parts to wholes, are completed in this way.

Correspondingly, in a real production area, the product is created from scratch, from a pile of materials, directly into a finished product.

The main purpose of this system is obviously not quantitative production, but creative production, which greatly simplifies the production steps of prototypes and accelerates the rate of innovation, which is a good helper for scientific research and practice steps and important performance parameters.

With it, the technology of the Republic has also been put on wings and has begun to improve rapidly.

In November of the 5th year of the Holocaust, the outer city-states completed the reorganization of their fleets.

The 6 million Type III Wolf's Eye Gunners are hardly a series of the original 'Wolf's Eye Flashlight' if you just look at their appearance, but in terms of characteristics, they are indeed gunboats in the same vein.

Xu Changqing is still influenced by his homeland to a considerable extent. The people of the Celestial Empire, or the hairy bear family, like to use cannons, calling them the god of war, plus hundreds of millions of turrets and hundreds of millions of glory, there is such a terrifying artillery battle fleet.

Energy technology has been improved, 50 spears, the power of a single spear has been increased by 45%, and the firing interval has been shortened from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.

Coupled with the improvement of ship material technology, this type of ship has a combat cruising speed of 15 million kilometers per hour.

The electromagnetic restraint technology has been further upgraded, and the brain computer has also been upgraded to version 7.0. To this end, Xu Changqing made an extremely dangerous move, he used xenomorph gene fragments in his new brain computer.

You must know that alien creatures have cluster intelligence, and the ontology of the brain computer is the enhanced humanoid brain, once awakened to self-awareness, tsk......

However, the benefits of taking this step are also great, the brain computer has completed the level of improvement, just like the progress of electronic computers to photon computers, the limits of the human brain have been surpassed, and the road to the improvement of the super brain has begun.

Such a brain computer, combined with the huge number of ships, new tactics are applied, and the area is saturated with strikes.

If the locust fleet appears again, a salvo of 100 million light spears from a cluster of 2 million artillery ships can kill it in a wave beyond 1AU. There is no possibility of dodging, they are all counted dead.

The original 1000+ new Mingcheng-class battleships basically became reserves without firing a shot, and the new capital ships are 10,000 with proton impact runs.

The proton velocity is increased in three stages, which can approach the speed of light, and it is used to bombard the nucleus of matter, which is broken and releases neutrons, antiprotons, and other particles, while releasing energy and causing a chain reaction (the excess protons released hit other nuclei). ）。

Undoubtedly, this is a way of striking from the destruction of the basic structure of matter, and its appearance is tantamount to touching the ceiling of the series of weapons that accelerate the launch of material projectiles into orbit. Smaller quarks and the like are still only the content of research, and they may not be able to develop relevant weapons for hundreds of years.
