When a civilization enters the nuclear age and can launch a nuclear bomb in space, it may be complacent to claim that it has finally gotten rid of the menopause (natural fluctuations in geological time) of the mother planet in tens of millions of years, and can even replace the mother with its own rebellious period (man-made mass extinction) to renew the biological world.

But in reality, arrogance does not help development, and at a higher level of civilization, the civilization of the nuclear age is only a layer of skin on the planet. A greater path awaits civilization.

The crustal engineering of the turbine is no longer just a mineral industry project, but has begun to develop towards a separate industry. This crustal industry can stand side by side with the surface industry.

For example, "chips, integrated circuits" can be called Silicon Valley industries on the surface.

Ranlun's current scientific researchers are trying to construct "graphite documents" in a deep underground high-heat environment.

……

Graphite Document Technical Brief:

This is a technology system that integrates semiconductor circuits on a large scale in the earth's crustal environment.

Principle: The principle of using the different melting points of graphite and diamond (the melting point of diamond is 3550 °C, graphite is 3850±50 °C), as well as the conductive properties of graphite and non-conductive diamond.

The critical environment between graphite and diamond was found by using the normal environment of 1100 degrees Celsius and high pressure in a certain layer of the earth's crust (the conductivity of graphite is at 1200 °C, and the resistance decreases with increasing temperature).

The calculation system is completed by using the change in resistance when the current passes.

As for what kind of material this "graphite document" protects the shell underground, as well as the structure of molten salt to stabilize the temperature, as well as the personnel involved, and a series of details (space is limited, saving).

……

Someone and a team, busy with Graphite Docs for hours of the day. Finely carved structures in the earth's crust and spread across the globe in the form of a network. Let the earth have memories (storing information) and bloodlines (matter extraction).

May 4, 464.

After Zhou You walked out of the holographic cabin, he stretched.

On the projector on the side, Lu Boya flashed: "Your Excellency, Chief Manufacturer of Zhouyou, take up part of your free time." ”

Zhou You looked down at the clock, then looked up and apologized: "I'm sorry, Lu Boya, the technical verification in the formation is really amazing, and it makes people linger. ”

Lu Boya nodded softly and responded, "I know, farming...... Well, industrial accumulation tends to be a no-brainer. ”

Lu Boya muttered in his heart: "I'm outside the Lord, and you're inside, it's good." "Let's talk about the geopolitical situation now.

A dark blue star globe, suspended on a projector. When it turned around, Zhou You stretched out his finger, and the projected star stopped, and the area pointed by Zhou You suddenly zoomed in.

The 'turf' occupied by the Psio Legion. - It's really the land, and the way to get economic benefits is to scrape the land (salt layer).

There are no psychological barriers to this product in Heshan, and all the developments below 1,000 meters underground are sold to Ranlun. He took the initiative to invite the ranlun to the concession on the site, lay a mineral mining shaft, and then arranged a circle of defenses around the mine, and monopolized the raw material and electric energy trade port of the ranlun as a resource point.

He put an advertisement on the burning wheel.

On a global scale, other local forces have a little psychological problem with the cooperation of Ranlun, such as the fact that they originally felt that they occupied the land, but let the Ranlun, which is also a local force, take the biggest advantage. These 'half-altar water' scientific and technological elements want to seek the support of the federal (science and technology model) to build a leyline system of burning wheels in the future. And even if you can't do it now, how can you do it in more than ten years, and the burning wheel will rise in the next ten years, so why sell this precious "resource" now?

In fact, the Confederation does not provide industrialization services. Moreover, in the past few years, there will be no environment for independent industrialization, and they themselves will not have the ability to industrialize.

……

Zeuyou kept looking through the information, and when he came across the information that "the warlords of the fringe areas captured the mechanical puppets".

Lu Boya's eyes drifted around. - Obviously, she's a little weak about the handling of the mechanical dolls. She knows the nature of the universe.

The people who burn the wheel can jump out and oppose the rescue of such "self-depraved". But as a guide to civilization, it is immoral to fail to find an enforceable way to save lives.

Zhou Youshou paused for a moment, and also turned over, and did not criticize Lu Boya.

After all, if the mechanical puppet class was really so easy to save, the other celestial-level wisdom of the Star Civilization would not be helpless for so long.

Zhou You flipped to the information of the Iron Dragon's Back.

Zhou You asked casually: "Huangshi's mechanical technology, how many percent of the Iron Dragon's Spine is now?" ”

……

Yellowstone's family political structure restricts an outgoing general, in addition to the dragon heart code, it will also constrain the technology system.

Dragon's heart.

Now that the Huangshi plate has begun to obey the dispatch of the Luotian plate, some hawks within it have been unwilling.

In the past two years, Iron Dragon's Spine has focused on persuading those who have hawkish thinking,—— so that they can open up their dragon heart permissions to themselves.

And in terms of technology.

Iron Dragon's Back side has increased its reputation through a series of battles in the Great Lakes and obtained funds from the Burning Wheel to operate on it, gradually accumulating the highest technology of the Yellowstone Plate.

……

Lu Boya called up the projection pictures of various creatures: there is a skeleton with a crocodile pattern, and there is a skeleton structure with amphibians crawling and jumping. In the skeleton, there is a launch structure similar to a missile and a cannon barrel.

and the state-of-the-art mechanical wyvern, an indiscernible biomorphic, aerial Transformer with an internal carbon-based nerve bundle that dots every mechanical wing.

After reading the information, Zhou You asked Lu Boya, "Oh, this guy is going to make trouble?" ”

Lu Boya sorted out the wording and said, "General Tielongji has some contradictions with the family's current internal decision-makers. ”

Zeuyou hears this: "Skiff ......"

The kind of family thinking of the Yellowstone plate, the tour is still clear.

Because a series of advances in the history of civilization are to turn out all kinds of decadent thinking and study them carefully. Every major historical change and the outbreak of various contradictions is to peel off the bones and skin of these filthy things. So--Celestial Tour: "This stuff is not complicated for me, and I also understand the dirtier political routines." ”

Now the Yellowstone plate is very controversial about whether to obey the political order of Luo Tian.

With the exception of a handful of politicians who directly identify themselves arguing on the table, a large number of centrists are now in a heated trade-off.

Some people in the neutral faction may be cooperating with Luo Tianlao on the surface, but they will not give up making small moves behind the scenes and creating some trouble for the integration of Luo Tian's family.

So Iron Dragon's Spine convinced them. - In fact, they feel that the Iron Dragon Spine is quite valuable, and if the Iron Dragon Spine has results, they will naturally support it, and if the Iron Dragon Spine can't end the game, they will immediately dissociate themselves. (This is somewhat similar to Burnwheel's current support for other fringe warlords.) ）

But the chess piece of Iron Dragon Spine is much more dangerous. You don't see that Lu Boya is desperate to get rid of the relationship and directly cultivate a new agent to connect with the Iron Dragon Spine in the Great Lakes Region.

Of course, Lu Boya glanced at Zhou You and was sure in his heart: "Of course, if you talk about danger, this is nothing to you." ”

Indeed, the Celestial Tour is now tied to the development of the earth's crust and has no heart to bother with this.

If Zeusyou deals with the problem of Iron Dragon Spine and doesn't avoid it at all, he will do whatever he wants. What's going on, just go over directly, and come back as hard as you can, and directly touch the truth that "the gooing worms don't dare to squeak anymore". - What? Not strong enough?

If the strength is not enough, then while seeking development, calculate the limit of strength and the environment, divide a few more small encounters, and then touch them when the strength is enough, all the way to the table tennis holy spear. Look at you dangerous, or am I invincible.

In contrast, Lu Boya is a soft rope grinding, more politically strategic, and perhaps more easily accepted by the majority of the people in the Burning Wheel.

Zeyou was also aware of this, so he did not have any opinion on the policy of Lu Boya's star catalog, but let the projection of Fang Xingxing shrink.

Lu Boya was so relieved that he switched the projection to the space map of Fang Xingxing and Bai Lixing, and said: "The situation (in space) is getting worse, but it is not getting worse. ”

The dynamic diagram begins to simulate future situations.

Over the next eight years, there will be multiple intersections of the binary star system of Titanium and Aromatic Stars. And the fifth or seventh rendezvous will be the most recent between the two sides. At that time, the titanium dioxide planet should completely revoke the magnetic force and dissolve the atmosphere, which will cause changes in the atmospheric properties of the Fangxing star, and the oxygen content will be reduced on a large scale.

Zhou You looked at the picture of the two planets intertwined, and said with a meaning: "Lightning and thunder." ”

……

Return to the Southern Fissure region.

Rows of Psychic Fire Group chariots were rapidly assembling in the dirt. The tanks weighed twenty tons, were protected by grilles on the outside and filled with plastic bags filled with water. Plastic bags are not expensive, and water - in heavy rainstorms, there are rivers everywhere. After arriving at the war zone, the plastic bags in the grid are directly filled with a pumping machine, which is a good layer of protection.

As for the innermost steel shell, it is spliced out. The hull shell of a normal tank is a one-piece forged hull, which is then tucked into the center of the turret system. It can be seen that this processing capacity is still very backward.

In June, the Burning Wheel was given to the atomic core, and the young people of the Psychic Fire also tried to make the chariot lithium-electric. However, lithium electrification technology cannot be solved by 'accompanying power generation systems' such as dragon heart and atomic core.

The material did not work out.

Heshan's corps still uses fuel chariots that have been eliminated by burning wheels. In fact, they can't replace even fuel vehicles.

Armored bull tanks and tracked personnel carriers are also combat vehicles that have been repeatedly designed by the Combustion Turbine Technology Group.

In the end, in order to support the atomic core, Heshan could only introduce the greedy dragon-class super-heavy tracked train with burning wheels to transport fuel for the entire mechanized corps.

The greedy dragon crawler transport vehicle can transport thousands of tons of fuel at a time to advance thousands of kilometers, and it is indeed a great contribution to the expansion of Heshan's current land.

On the cutting-edge granular sand.

A large number of wolfdog-type creatures are constantly searching forward under the command of soldiers at the front.

The mechanism in the wolfdog's mouth has been turned on to allow its sense of smell to work, and the controls on its brain send information like a wolf king, instructing the group to follow the human's commands to move forward. The external fire devices on both sides of the rear hips will fire according to the judgment of artificial intelligence.

The PsiFire Legion has developed a variety of domesticated breeds. Among them, the human "good friend" (useful) is the most important consumable item of the Psychic Fire Legion. What is the average game, and hundreds of dogs have died. Of course, the follow-up supply can deliver 10,000 dogs every day.

Wolfhounds are just elite scouts. Those who can carry individual heavy equipment are omnivorous animals such as wild boars.

Now these battlefield wolves are quite efficient, surrounding a group of mechanical spiders.

And the intelligent weapons carried by the wild boars in the rear also showed an armed posture.

[Wild boar carrier war beast, the head is mechanically bound, the front is covered with carbon fiber, interpolated ceramic interlayer, and the eyes are protected by glass to prevent being injured by gunsmoke. Its waist and thighs, though exposed flesh, are firmly linked to assault rifles or grenade projectiles. 】

Under the fire of mechanical spider bullets, these fierce (in fact, injected stimulants) animals carry their own armed fearless charge.

Even if in front, there is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood (the war beast vision system directly codes the dead target to reduce fear), even if the gunfire is getting louder and louder (directly blocking the sound), it is still rushing forward.

At this time, the non-commissioned officers of the Psychic Fire who wear power armor, hide in the pits, and hold wires to command can't help but feel a sense of kinship - if there is peace of war one day, they must fight for a forbidden status for companion animals.

……

Forty minutes later, the battle was over.

The drone streaked across the sky, uh, it's purely mechanical. All kinds of parts, the production line can be manufactured directly. And the systems that can be used in air combat are also ready-made for burning wheels.

The drone took aerial photographs of the tragic situation on the battlefield from 3,000 meters in the air. In the distance, Heshan in the command post of the air defense position could not help but feel something. But before he could think of what flag to plant, an uninvited guest appeared.

A pure white flying machine arrives in the sky. Distorted heat jets out of the aircraft's chassis, lifting the hundred-ton aircraft and turning lightly as it was propelled by a powerful fan in the middle of the fuselage.

And below, those prismatic metal-hulled chariots emitting black smoke are compared to this, like a white swan looking down on a toad, and the painting style is nearly a hundred years apart.

……

Determined by a brief communication.

Heshan ordered the troops in the crossfire zone to cease further operations.

He knew that the only people who could build such an advanced large-scale heavy armored aircraft now were the big families of the Federation and the Burning Wheel.

Burning wheels can also be manufactured, but the burning wheels do not take the route of heavy armor in the Air Force, but directly take the route of a swarm of forty tons. In contrast, the Federation's aircraft are gone in heavy duty, and the fighters have not reached 150 tons, and they are embarrassed to join the air battle.

Heshan took a deep breath and muttered in his heart: "Okay, the Lord is here." ”

On the fighter plane, rows of combat mechs walked down. These humanoid mechanical warriors with four-legged lower bodies and upper bodies scanned the armored car team with dark blue eyes, and their arms were armed with heavy Gatling cannons for great intimidation. Heshan paused at this and quietly ordered his troops to be on alert.

A mechanical puppet aboard the plane and drags out the virtual receiver.

On the command vehicle two kilometers away, Heshan saw this through the screen, paused, and asked the non-commissioned officer in the area to drag the line and dock with the receiver.

Then he put on the goggles in the convoy and met an arrogant aristocratic commander in the virtual hall - Iron Dragon's Back.

……

The conversation between the two lasted less than five minutes.

Tielongji came to meet Heshan with a superior attitude. In the virtual meeting, his projection is much larger than that of Heshan, to create a sense of oppression.

In this regard, Heshan, who was involved in the accident at a young age, did not emphasize his background in a strong manner, but also humbly reminded that he had a mineral trade with the federation and an industrial trade connection with the Burning Wheel.

Tie Longji slowly gave Heshan a diamond-shaped crystal, and threw down a sentence, "Looking forward to your solemn consideration." Then the communication ended.

The flying machine sent by the Iron Dragon's Spine took off in such a whirlwind-crisp attitude, obviously disdainful of arguing with Heshan, who was too low-level.

……

And in the Great Lakes region, the 60,000-ton battleship that is stretching its protective shield in the wind and rain is in the bridge hall.

Iron Dragon's Back did not step out of the communication module, but looked at the burning wheel of the Divine Presence Region on the planetary instrument, and a sneer flashed on his silent face, and then his face returned to being like iron.

Iron Dragon's Spine didn't know what the Burning Wheel, which had originally cooperated with him, suddenly began to support the agent and then contact him, what his plan was.

Tielongji was very unhappy, and the burning wheel jumped directly halfway.

Therefore, after he finished the matter on the Heshan side, he began to dial the communication on the Burning Wheel.
