However, most departments of the federation do not know that the base in the East China Sea and the desert are the same as the burning wheel.

The federal investigation of the East China Sea region is not as careful as Bei He Lu, and Lu Boya does not actively expose such a characteristic technology as biotechnology.

Lu Boya's characteristic technology is molten salt power generation technology, that is, the collection of large quantities of rock on the continental shelf, then processing and separating them, and feeding them into the plate lava belt as a medium, bringing heat energy back to drive the steam turbine to rotate.

……

On May 3, 454, the concealment works of the four industrial zones of the Ranlun in the Western Wilderness area were completed.

Thanks to the efforts of surface exhaust outlets, the 20,000 or 30,000 ordinary kilometers around the four industrial zones are all hidden in the haze of less than 100 meters of visibility. This is not just about defending against titanium steel long-range guided weapons retaliation. It is also necessary to reduce the superiority of titanium steel light weapons.

During the expedition, their power armor and chemical electromagnetic sniper rifles can snipe targets from a distance of ten kilometers. If you don't pull their vision to the same level as yourself, you can't fight.

[The deflagration of chemical propellant is directly converted into kinetic energy, which is limited by the detonation velocity. When the propellant reaches a certain point, the bullet does not get more energy, and the excess energy goes to the chamber of the gun. And electromagnetic acceleration breaks through this limitation. The sniper rifle in this world has an additional layer of complex structure, which is converted into electromagnetic energy after exploding, and then accelerates the projectile. 】

A sniper rifle made of titanium steel, firing a pill box the size of a cigarette case, converted into electromagnetic energy, and a six-gram projectile accelerates to ten times the speed of sound. The technology of the burning wheel cannot be imitated, so the mode of the examination room is changed.

The surface is dusty, and the people of the burner are shuttling through the underground pipes.

Now in the square up and down the mountain on the east side of the industrial zone in the West Wilderness, rows of holographic cabin training machines are placed here, and with the sound of whistles and neat footsteps, a group of trainers lined up and walked in and began to enter the machinery.

In this training base, there are thousands of training bins.

There is a red sign hanging in the hall. 'Discipline condenses wisdom, civilization looks forward to hope. ’

These new workers will begin a four-month training and then enter the labor and production department, where the veteran workers will form a production organization for a five-month internship before entering the production department.

Compared with the relatively war-torn situation in the Haoyang Plate area, the Xihuang Crack Area is relatively peaceful, and the organization of the combustion turbine here has the conditions to carry out the infrastructure construction of geothermal energy exploitation.

When he first arrived in the Western Wilderness, he used the matrix to preliminarily map the northeast crack area of the Western Wilderness.

The movement of plates comes from the flow of the earth's mantle, and the current technology of Fangxing cannot control the geocentric energy. But if you are determined enough, you can add a little cool 'lube' (molten salt) to the underground "bruises" (magma reservoirs) in the area of the fragmented plates.

Tame the irascible earth.

The specific situation of the combustion turbine is that a large number of wells are drilled, the high melting point molten salt is injected into the deepest crust, the low melting point molten salt tank is inserted into the shallow high melting point molten salt pool, and then the low melting point molten salt of the tank will be piped along the pipeline to transfer heat energy from the shallow layer to the surface.

In this process, the crew of the gas turbine continuously pressurizes the sodium chloride into the ground and injects it into the magma. Reduces magma viscosity in this area.

[Silica is the main source of viscosity of magma, with a melting point of 1650 degrees Celsius, while the melting point of sodium chloride is only 801 degrees Celsius, and the flash point is only 1413 °C. 】

In October 454, more than 1,000 ultra-deep wells were drilled on a small plate with an area of less than 200,000 square kilometers in the Western Wilderness area. One hundred and forty molten salt exchange stations are already operational.

The workload of this huge project is very tiring, because the small plate has earthquakes of magnitude 6 or higher every month, and many underground pipelines are damaged in the earthquake. It is also extremely dangerous to look at molten salt injection wells, no less than walking near an active crater, where the pressure in the pipes is slightly over, cracks appear, and red-hot molten salt will eject out. Burners had to constantly customize some higher strength reinforced metal structures to ensure safety.

Due to the short period of time, there is no positive record of the stability of the earth's crust in the current archives of the Burning Turbine, but the Matrix Field of Zeyou has observed that the pressure of the underground magma reservoir has begun to decline gradually, and it should be correct to determine the direction of this effort.

[However, in the early stages of walking in the right direction, there is a lot of resistance and difficulties in response. 】

Molten salt injections have led to faster magma flow and less stress in the plate, and a series of small earthquakes are now occurring more frequently.

These small earthquakes indicate that the stress of the large earthquake on the fragmented plate is constantly being consumed, and it is expected to drop to about 3 after the earthquake in the future, and the fragmented small plate is expected to continue to slide and complete the buffer in the collision of two large plates. But now, the release of this energy is constantly causing problems for the project.

There are a total of eighteen small plates with an area of more than 100,000 square kilometers in the Western Wilderness, and it will take a long time to completely tame them.

"But it must be tamed, just as an ancient agricultural civilization had to tame a river that is constantly diverging." ”

……

In 453, the Burning Wheel behaved very honestly, doing the necessary work for the Federation, producing the necessary metal parts, and patrolling large areas.

No way! Who calls the federal system the central system of human society?

The scientific research and research of any force must maintain exchanges with the center of the world. Even if you have institutional advantages, it is always difficult to fight against the minority and the majority.

Of course, this kind of closeness is not integration, even if it converges in one place, it is also distinct.

The dusty fault zone area of the Western Wilderness

In the hollowed-out sinkhole in the middle of the hills, after completing the inspection of the drilling system of the No. 1 fragmented plate, Zhouyou made contact with the federal military intelligence team on time, this time to express the statement just issued by the saline-alkali security army.

Bei Helu: "You explain this matter to me." ”

Zhou You: "Let me explain, why don't you inform you of the messenger of Bai Ji first, right?" ”

[At this time, it is in the northeast corner of the Tianluo plate and the Haoyang plate. 】

Rows of huge pyramid fortress buildings at the base, on which groups of delta-wing fighters are flying high in rows.

From the perspective of the sky where you can see these pyramids 'like the sands of the earth's 21st century construction sites'.

Groups of black beetle-like tanks, like fellow army ants, formed rows of marches between the pyramids, and at the back of these small ant queues, rows of huge land warships were strolling along the hundred-meter-wide road.

In the room at the top of the pyramid, Bei He Lu glanced at the steel officer corps outside the window, and then looked at Zhou You and showed a smile: "You, how do you want to quibble!" ”

And here, in the relatively small and dark underground command hall of the Burning Wheel, Zhou You spread his hands and said, "My lord, there is nothing to justify, we did what we had to do. ”

Bei Helu sneered: "It seems that I didn't realize the mistake!" ”

Zhou You: "If it is our mistake to be suspected by the Lords of the Federation, then the root of this mistake is that our physique is a little bigger. If we hand over to you the people who will come into contact with us as soon as possible, you will still set up a plan for us to contact with titanium steel. Because it seems to you that it is necessary! ”

Bei He Lu was silent.

The words of the Zeus lobby are right, the current organization and model of the Burning Wheel, as well as the scale of the economy, have been completely separated from other local forces, and firmly occupy a lot of crack areas, such forces, the Federation did not say anything on the surface when dealing with the war of titanium steel, but in fact made a lot of plans.

Even if Zhou You asked the Burning Wheel to directly buckle the Rose Blade and then hand it over to the intelligence organization, it could only prove that Zhou You now had a good personal relationship with Bei He Lu. Bei Helu can clear the suspicion of Zhouyou in his heart, but the entire political decision-making group of the federation cannot listen to Bei Helu alone, and even Bei Helu himself will not be completely relieved of Ranlun because Zhouyou is loyal enough!

[Gaddafi also bribed Sarkozy, which did not allow Sarkozy to keep his votes in the general election, and then to carry out a war attack on Libya. 】

Zhou You: 'Charismatic diplomacy' is the most meaningless political show, Lao Tzu never believed that marrying a girl and making a few brothers would keep peace with his meow.

In accordance with the most formal rules of diplomatic communication, the burning wheel is open to the content of contact, and the ambiguity is openly cut off, indicating the hostile attitude of titanium steel.

In this bright move, the Federation can only publicly guarantee its support for the burning wheel, and does not even dare to move some small actions. Because privately suspecting that once the small actions of allies are exposed, it is a scandal. It means that they are not at ease with their closest allies, and they are waiting to force the centrists in other regions to be duplicitous.

Bei Helu once again stared at the beautiful young man on the screen who was calm in his chest.

Bei Helu sneered: "Mr. Bolun, you answered beautifully!" ”

As a regional leader, he handled it decently, but as a friend, he was very unqualified. There is no affection for keeping secret channels between each other at all.

Bei He Lu, who now needs exclusive political resources, is very dissatisfied with the air tour.

Zhou You was still smiling brightly, and waved to Bei He Lu: "Oh, Bei He Lu, I have been short of a lot of supplies here recently, can you make up for me?" ”

Bei Helu couldn't help but get angry: This product just rejected himself seriously, and now he is embarrassed to ask himself for something! He really wanted to ask if you have the cheeks.

Zhou You looked at Bei He Lu's blue face, and whistled in his heart: "This is politics, thinking about the moment of compulsory education in the Wind Star, I was cut leeks, and the liar is still showing off his political and historical experience in front of me, and I'm not, well, cough cough ...... it."

……

The line hung up, and three hours later, the victorious tour of the fighting mouth waited for the official mail of the Ministry of Military Intelligence.

The above approved the material request for the fuel wheel.

Even though Bei Helu was very annoyed by Zhouyou's attitude, the combustible wheel was supported by him after all, and now it is becoming more and more useful, if he gives up, then the investment in the early stage will be completely wasted.

Zhou You: It seems that there are obviously politicians of the older generation behind (Bei He Lu) who are guiding the maze, otherwise you will hang me for seven or eight days according to your character.

Zhou You won the battle, but he couldn't deny the fact that Bei Helu's current assistance was actually a rope on the burning wheel.

The Federation transports state-of-the-art large-scale platforms to the Western Wilderness region. Among the other aids, 40,000 heavy trucks alone are ready to help, and it is obvious that they are very supportive of the Western Wilderness's great work on the Great Rift Valley, but these are basic raw material production, and the fuel turbines are more dependent on the Federation in industry.

The operation of the Burning Wheel by the politicians of Luo Tian is not just economic.

In November 454, under the leadership of a political force in the Luotian plate, military assistance was provided to the other force of the burning wheel in the Luotian plate, the saline-alkali security army.

The political forces behind Bei He Lu are trying to kill two birds with one stone.

The first is to divide and control the growing local power of Ranlun.

The Western Wilderness has become a mine, and the saline-alkali security army has become a war, so that the federal government of the Luotian plate has mastered the key points of the two parts of the burning wheel. The Western Wilderness needs to find the upstream supply chain, the saline-alkali security army needs to find it, and when a problem solved by a political force pleases the outside world, there is no internal inconsistency.

The second is to meddle in the Haoyang plate area. The politicians of the Luo Tian plate have always wanted to meddle in the affairs of other plates, but this kind of interference cannot directly send the army, because they are not familiar with the place, and it is very risky to rush into the regular army, and supporting a reliable local agent who is oriented to themselves can thread the needle for the future layout.

The reply to Lu Boya's communication was: "If they feed it, then just eat it." Don't worry about getting stuck in the neck. ”

……

This is what is recorded in the history of civilization and politics of the bells.

In the process of the development of human civilization, the state, a violent ruling machine, grasps different key elements at different stages and under constraints.

In the beginning, the old forces will control the new advanced forces for a while through the old elements, but the vitality of the new forces will not die, and the problems of the old elements will be quickly resolved, and then the new elements will be controlled to challenge the old forces.

For example, the rulers of the agrarian era needed elements, stable grain storage points (cities), and the organization of civil and military officials.

As for the rebellion of the hungry people and the overthrow of the ruling power? - The Song Dynasty had more peasant uprisings than any other dynasty, and nothing happened at all, as did the medieval castles of Western Europe. The peasant uprisings in the East can really make a big scene, and it is all internal corruption, showing talent and raising people to be thieves, and improving the organizational strength of the peasant army. Let the combat power continue +++. Therefore, the successive dynasties did not care about the general peasant uprising, but the literati followed the thieves, and immediately sent a large army to exterminate the county town (grain storage point).

However, a dynasty could not rule stably in the primary industrial era by mastering the elements. Tsarist Russia had a fairly high rate of agricultural self-sufficiency, and if it were a feudal empire with the support of feudal lords who controlled the granaries everywhere, it would be nothing.

However, the agglomeration of the population brought about by the factories is needed, and the logistics are guaranteed by capitalist industry and commerce. When there was a long queue in the St. Petersburg bakery. The number of people in the first few was in the millions, and the industrial cities began to revolt, not on the scale of small peasant uprisings in the Middle Ages in Europe. - As a result, the urban population revolted, armed with rifles and heavy artillery, and directly collected the surplus grain from the landlords.

Therefore, in the era of primary industry, it is necessary to card the supply of raw materials, core technologies, markets, as well as waterways and railways.

The Eight-Petal Flower Federation is now stuck on these elements. Under this line of thinking, if the burning wheel is still in the form of capital organization, then all the internal personnel will become compradors, and they will not be able to organize and complete the technological autonomy.

However, this time it is not the capitalist system.

Now the Federation does not know the goal of the Burning Ship in large-scale infrastructure.

The first reserve will be connected in four months, the information network of the Western Wilderness, the Saline-alkali Security Army, and the three regions of the ice field.

In the longer term, the goal is to connect energy.

The exchange of ideas is an essential element of state rule in the post-industrial era. Because more and more production is created by thinking.

An intelligent program in a chip can solve the problem of intelligent production. It is not visible in the throughput of traditional trade.

……

After the Confederation provided military aid to the burning wheels of the Oceanic Plate, the schism they envisioned did not happen.

Saline Security Army, in the command hall of Area VI.

Lu Boya's signature received a batch of military equipment from the Luotian plate, ranging from heavy helicopters to multi-legged combat vehicles on land, as well as rock tanks that were previously standard in the Luotian region.

Lu Boya patted these devices, turned his hand to open the communication interface, and said to Zhou You quite actively: "Mentor, I have a batch of Luo Tian equipment here. ”

This side of the Western Wilderness.

It seems that he is in an automated welding factory, making corrections on the stereoscopic projection diagram and explaining the tasks assigned by the management team.

After seeing Lu Boya's snort, he looked up and said, "Oh, so it's time to support again?" ”

The support here is to provide industrial and technical assistance to the Celestial Tour.

Lu Boya was already sitting on the barrel of the tank at this time, and said quite implicitly: "Mentor, what came is actually a batch of broken copper and iron, second-hand goods from the Federation, you see?" ”

Zhou You raised his head helplessly: "Federation, (you) don't want technical guidance?" ”

Lu Boya said helplessly: "Of course not, they keep the core design to the core, I here, nominally can produce their own parts, but the standard parts we make, the same production line, the same operation process, are one grade lower than their standard parts, and they can't understand the technology at all." Mentor, we have to rely on your technical experts to help us become autonomous. You see, the medium and high-speed Internet connection in our factory is ready for you. ”

The same production line, the same operation process, can not process the same yield. That's because the production line is copied and copied, and I don't know the details on it. Others know why the standard is set this way. And the recipient doesn't know. Therefore, the accuracy of the production line drifts, and the reason cannot be found. As for how the standard is set - this is the core technology.

Zhou You let out a breath and said: "It's okay to help you, but you know, our industrial base is weak, and we want to completely autonomize (copycat) the equipment they provide......"

Lu Boya waved his hand: "Mentor, I don't have that much ambition, I just want to bring the indicators of the armored bull tank to the level of the Federation Rock Unmanned Tank." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Boya patted the barrel of the black-armored chariot under his buttocks.

The good figure set off by Lu Boya's mechanical suit makes her a very good car model.

Zhou You glanced at the diamond-shaped barrel under her buttocks, took a deep breath, and said: "The power system can be upgraded, and the tank gun can increase the chamber pressure, well, you have thought about the electromagnetic cannon." There is also infrared stealth technology, which can be done with a laser light interception system and an active missile defense system. The electrical control of the car body, as well as the external perception technology, can be copied, but the technical indicators should be reduced ......"

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved Lu Boya's face became.

Lu Boya: "Stop, stop, I don't ask for a swan, you just give me a duck, it's really not okay, you let me hold a big rooster, you must not cut it into a quail." ”

The engineering ability of the fuel turbine is indeed a bit sufficient. However, Lu Boya knows that the engineering ability of Zhouyou is very strong, and after the brain expansion and loading, the brain design ability is comparable to that of an electrified national industrial research team, and Zhouyou's continuous refusal is obviously focused on geothermal power stations.

Lu Boya complained in his heart: "The basic operation is to be carried out, but you can't not be a little soldier, a little technology, is it possible that you want to hold back high-tech in a mine!?" ”

After a detailed discussion between the two, well, Lu Boya argued step by step. Raise the tank indicator step by step.

Finally, the standard of the armored bull unmanned tank was positioned to the same type of task that could be completed and the federal rock tank.

……

However, the Rock Tank is only the most basic unmanned mechanical vehicle of the Federation. There is still a long way to go.
