Since the beginning of summer, the war on the North Coastline has come to an end. It's just a proxy war for the Burning Wheel.

"Boom" in the Mediterranean, and the direct confrontation between the burning wheel and the blue Gu tide at sea is becoming more and more intense,

Neither the Burning Wheel nor the Northern Golden Beetle Corps developed underwater combat forces. Because the deepest in the Mediterranean Sea is no more than 120 meters, and most of the depths are above 50 meters, the underwater Gu insect ecology is very sensitive to any fluctuations.

[On Earth, the 21st century U.S. military discovered that flounder is frightened after any submarine passes, thus emitting a unique sound wave, which is equivalent to a sonar amplifier. As for why it didn't work? Is that because flounder is an economic fish, if it is stocked in large quantities off the coast of a certain country? Alas - then, send a little more of these fish representing freedom and democracy to contain the evil empire. 】

On the other hand, Jue Hotaru has developed a small underwater reconnaissance force, and these reconnaissance fish, which are about three meters long, often cut into the seabed construction site of the burning wheel to spy on them. On the fuel ship auxiliary ship, equipment similar to the cleaning frogman on Earth has also appeared. However, the group of tubes is thicker and the dropped warheads are larger. And at this time, if you see a disturbing wave in the sea, you just have to throw a grenade at it. So the underwater was not in the way, and the construction team still firmly extended the track towards the continental shelf to the west.

The bombardment continues. Now with a new protagonist! Ballistic rockets. ——Zhou You stretched out his hand to land Boya's hard hat in the rocket factory, and at the same time earnestly admonished (indoctrinated): "This is the future, this is the king!" Learn a little. ”

Nowadays, the development of higher-range cannons is no longer available, because high-caliber guns are expensive to process and have a limited lifespan. If the cost of processing a high-powered barrel is divided by the life of the barrel (hit. number of guns), higher than the cost of a single rocket, so what else is the point?

That's how the Triumph 300 missiles appeared. This is a single ballistic missile with a range of 300 km, using hydrogen peroxide and alcohol. Of course, it is still the launch of the sea fortress platform.

In April 110, the three fortresses began to be refitted. First the cement turret was pulled out directly, and then replaced with a huge missile storage launch canister. Build a metal square with a wrench hammer cross symbol above the fortress to protect it from the wind and rain.

When launched, the missile sticks out from below. Then, under the action of electric transmission, on the metal square bin, the originally crossed wrench and screwdriver are directly rotated and opened. The square warehouse slowly opened, revealing the missiles that had been lifted up inside.

This launch system was designed by the Celestial Tour, and when Lu Boya asked the Celestial Tour, "Why did you come up with this design?"

Facing the disciple's humble request for advice, after being proud, he couldn't help frowning and thinking, and asked himself: "This...... What kind of cultural work does this seem to have been seen in any life? Alas, forgot. ”

The reformed fortress, which joined the battlefield in early autumn, made its first salvo in the early hours of the morning.

As for the scene of the launch of the fortress: the sea fog in the autumn city is heavy, and the ministry rises in the early morning. Hao Hao He Yuan Tian, dissolve the bright sun.

The speed at which a ballistic missile dives down after breaking through the atmosphere is still something that an electric mosquito cannot intercept.

A one-ton warhead also has a killing range of more than a hectare on the ground for a single shot. Of course, the head is on the right - the burning wheel is a salvo.

In the first 20 launches, the sea lookout made a very detailed observation of this kind of wave diffusion circle pushed by the shock wave of a large area of insects on the shore.

On the flagship of his own aircraft carrier, after determining the flickering firelight on the distant land, the mouth kept "boom, collapse, pop, hehe!" "Speak and dance at the same time.

This "firecracker blowing up the ant hole", Zhou You has never had the opportunity to try it on the Wind Star in his life - in the education of the Wind Star, the boy's desire to destroy is banned.

……

The Northern War, at present, is still to the extent that warhead bombing can be solved. Then if you can steal a little time, you can steal a little time. So Lu Boya was arranged by Zeuyou to open a mine again.

Actually? Zhou You feels that it is better to control the war of survival now. Lu Boya is a genius in weapon design, but after all, he is inexperienced.

Zhou You: "Lu Boya is very young, she can make mistakes. It is the leader's problem to put the person who is prone to mistakes into the unsuitable position and lead the whole team into the pit. ”

So—

In the southeast direction, the girl from the core power area of the burning wheel began the diligent exploration task.

Southern Continent.

In the largest area of the cheese landscape, steel towers have been erected in numerous potholes. And batches of Lin Dragon Gu worms in the iron tower are the control core, and they are entering it in batches. At the same time, a large number of local workers who have been trained for half a month wear well-protected clothing to go to the mine.

Fifty kilometers away in the area of the cheese landscape, a huge river valley. A large number of 20-ton digging dragons are being excavated under the command of the workers to draw lines and survey.

This rectangular depression, 30 meters wide and 80 meters long, has been excavated. Then, with a loud rumbling noise, a huge mobile base drove over, slid into the slope edge of the crater, and sat down steadily.

It's a planet where it's easier to move a base than to build a house on the spot.

There are not enough suitable construction workers on this planet, especially those who are reluctant to explore the southern region. But there are Gu worms who are willing to dig in the soil and are full of brute strength.

After the base was laid down, a large number of cockpits were multi-legged vehicles with clear glass spheres, and began to walk through the wide underground with the steps of spiders.

To the north of the base, an area of the lake has been fenced off by a closed dam. Around the dam, there are large green algae fields.

And this water-rich algae field was originally occupied by a giant ant tower that resembled a kind of blood crystal ant. Heavy machinery from the Burning Turbine bulldozed the area, and then made a huge paddy field with cement that was leak-proof. The water from the dam is channelled here, and then a windmill pulls the water away from the algae fields.

In fact, humans can't directly consume algae, and they also use a very simple type of Gu worm to convert energy to produce sugar-based and protein-based fruits.

There are organic collectors such as blood crystal ants in nature. A year before the Burning Wheel arrived, the ant towers here stood like tombstones!

Why do you have to do this when food is always sufficient?

First: From the perspective of the trajectory of the development of starry sky civilization, the core of the development of productive forces is human organization. In the past, the grain industry has always been a gathering industry that only knights are qualified to engage in. The amount of collection is certainly sufficient for consumption at the moment. However, in terms of efficiency, it is far inferior to modern plantation and cannot be upgraded to a more advanced agriculture.

Second: In the past, blood crystal ants produced crops, and the degree of human control was very low, so that blood crystal ants have gradually increased their toxicity over the past hundred years. The trend is to exterminate the original human race and then select the human race by nature. On the normal civilized planet, human beings artificially select crops, which is the opposite. In the process of algae processing now, the Gu worm that digests and produces the algae in the ditch is far simpler than the blood crystal ant system. It is an existence that humans can breed and control, and humans will not allow it to evolve to be toxic at all. Its whole life is like a broiler, growing in a dimly lit pool.

Humans' large-scale agriculture is now superior to the Blood Crystal Ant Tower in terms of yield per unit area.

After all, the speed of replication and proliferation of simple things like algae is faster than that of complex things. However, humans need to consume a lot of water to produce this kind of farmland. So now in a broader sense, this involves natural ecology.

In terms of the natural ecology of the rock crystal star, the scope of influence is greater than the worst-case assumption of the previous orbital tour.

June 7, 110, in the cheese area, Cave 344.

In this huge cavity with a diameter of 134 meters, steel towers have been transporting a series of minerals underground to sort them in the surface clearing. Loaded by forklifts, they are transported directly onto the train and transported to the northern coastline. These minerals will provide strong support for the Burning Wheel War.

And now Lu Boya was squatting on the top of a huge mine pile, carefully looking at the huge crystals in these ores, and his face was particularly ugly.

These snow-white crystals like rock candy are naturally one or two tons, one or two tons a lump in the ground. The composition of these substances is glass, which is Na2O· CaO·6SiO2。 This wasn't a poisonous substance, it belonged to the excrement of those giant mine worms underground.

But in the eyes of Lu Boya, the industrial party, the problem is particularly serious. The predecessors of the above-mentioned substances are in the form of limestone and gypsum in nature. This kind of substance has acid roots.

Glass, on the other hand, is insoluble in water and seems to be crystal clear, as can be seen from its chemical equation, is weakly alkaline.

Glass, a weakly alkaline substance, is unstable in geological time. It only takes a thousand years for the groundwater to erode and begin to weather, and then regain its natural mineral appearance. But on the time scale of civilization, it is a substance that can survive more than plastic bags.

In other words, this kind of existence excavated from the ground is not actually supposed to exist in nature, but is made by an underground Gu worm. The impact of this organism on the lithosphere is obviously upsetting the balance of nature, and large amounts of carbon dioxide, as well as acidic salts, will enter the ocean through undercurrents.

Lu Boya looked at these white crystals on the ground and fell into thought—there is no doubt that the carbon balance will be broken. The soil is weakly alkalized, while the ocean is acidified.

In fact, for hundreds of years, except for the primitive algae and lower animals in the ocean, all the rest have been extinct and replaced by marine Gu worms, which is the reason. However, terrestrial Gu worms and marine Gu worms rarely interact in the food chain group of species, which is also the reason for the large environmental classification.

Lu Boya: "In the hundreds of years of this world, there must be a mastermind behind such a development direction. This driving force is weakening human control over nature, and it is also weakening the control of human wisdom over the direction of social development. ”

She looked to the north, her gaze more serious than ever.

……

In this war, the space tour has always been to enhance the resistance of human civilization to deal with disasters.

Heavy artillery, rockets, these things that can be produced in the industrial chain that can now allow a large number of primary labor to join, are fighting in this war. Rather than stronger, more advanced, higher technology that is beyond the limits of its mass worker manufacturing level.

Lu Boya realized why at the beginning of this year, Zhou You rejected some of his "advanced" plans.

It's not that these schemes are wrong. However, many scientific and technological solutions do not conform to the current social productive forces, and at least weapons that can only be mass-produced after universal compulsory education for all.

The Burning Wheel under the guidance of the Celestial Tour is now fighting a general war. The social system allows all people to assume corresponding responsibilities in the war, and then the responsibility corresponds to the awareness of rights, and then can promote social development after the war.

Simple and crude industrial mega-tooth casting and forging to form the parts on the huge cannon. So that the barrel of tens of tons can be rotated and moved.

After hundreds of production processes of heavy artillery shells, they are transported by strong men with pliers and carts, sent into the barrels of guns in the whistle and in concerted cooperation, and under the determination of the highest forward observation system, the supreme commander presses the electric bell and fires! This is the war of the people. It is very different from the elite war group of the Northern Gu Worm Legion.

……

September 110.

After the burning wheel threw more than 400 missiles and destroyed more than 90 barrels of giant cannons.

Behind the turbine, on the assembly line, a missile, counting from the generation of molten aluminum and other metals, requires 1,400 workers to spend a week of working hours to complete each production.

As for the processing of the barrel, it required two hundred workers for three months. Under the power of the motor, the guillotine hammer begins to forge the steel lump repeatedly, then drills it in a huge deep well for a full month, and finally moves it to the lathe for processing. The process is complex, but it is not a tall chip manufacturing. The main reason is that the energy level of the hammer is high, the material is large, and the loss of defective products is great.

What Zeusyou threw out was a mature battleship gun barrel processing technology. These are all processes that have been accumulated by the factory for decades when normal civilization is playing dreadnought.

Burning Wheel is now using artificial labor to exchange for the production of the Gu Nest on the other side, and the effect is obviously outstanding.

The Blue Gu Worm Corps, at least 132 Imperial soldiers were killed. These are all blindfolded by non-precision-guided warheads.

Hotaru had to retreat along the eastern coastline. It is impossible not to retreat, the productivity of the fuel wheel is fully opened, and the missiles are being thrown more and more diligently. Because there are at least 1,800 Shengli 300 missiles in the warehouse, and 398 ultra-long-range heavy artillery barrels are hoarded.

In this way, the production capacity is still a little disgusted with the slow production capacity. Because there is no shortage of factory facilities, no shortage of raw materials, and even the current manpower is abundant, the production capacity should also increase dramatically. At this speed, it should be that the management system has not been built in place, which has dragged down production.

……

With the support of the Burning Wheel, the Northern Alliance won successive battles.

The Blue Gu Nest, on its side, seemed to be enraged by this kind of bastard's behavior.

Started in the second half of 110 years.

On this side of the Northern Continent, the Gu Nest seems to have stepped up its mutation. On both sides of the Great River Basin near the imperial capital, crystal buildings with a height of 40 meters and an area of one or two kilometers began to rise. At the base of the tower are countless filaments inserted into the soil, swallowing up a large amount of water. These large northern rivers are beginning to expose their beds in large sections. And at the top of the tower, the huge crystal is refracting a strange brilliance!

Within a few tens of kilometers of the glass tower, there are a large number of gas outlets the size of graves, which are bubbling with water vapor from the outside. When viewed from above, it dissipates heat like a pore.

After the whole situation was transmitted back to the burning wheel, Zhou You looked deeply for a full hour, picked up a pen and sketched out this model diagram of 'absorbing groundwater, cooling the center and reaction tower, and finally dissipating the hot gas to the earth'.

After Zhou You put down his pen: "The investigation process went smoothly, and the other side came out." ”

And on the southern continent.

After getting the relevant news, Lu Boya commented on this: "Now the mastermind behind the scenes has no care to be exposed, and he is standing in the foreground more and more recklessly. ”

In Lu Boya's eyes: "This system, which uses nuclear energy, has no mechanical processing, and is completely automated by the nano system, must have a terrifyingly high technical content of its core components." ”

……

On September 23, in the Holy Horn, the guard of honor changed compared to a few months ago.

At the latest imperial council, the Jehotaru in military uniform stood behind the young emperor, and the regent only sat on the lower side of the young emperor. The Regent's face was now pale.

After a while, at the court meeting, the golden decree signed by the puppet emperor was handed down.

One by one, the officers will take over the important checkpoints of the imperial capital, and the consuls will replace the original consuls and manage important land. And these are all people who have been promoted by Jue Ying in the imperial capital.

If these orders are carried out, the regent will inevitably be overthrown. However, the sixth prince did not dare to make a rebuttal in the end, and looked at him with a smile, as if waiting to tear the last layer of skin.
