Chenggong told Haige that the Ice Castle complex is mainly concentrated in this area, and there are also a small number of them in Alaska and Siberia, but the number of those places is very small, and if there is, it is an early building on the Arctic continent. When the Arctic Circle was overcrowded, homeowners began to move to Greenland for safety reasons, even though it was the main theater of World War III.

"World War III?!"

The Arctic War was given such an iconic name of the times, and Hai Ge shuddered.

There are always various historical records about World War I and World War II that spread to the whole world on the earth. At the same time, all kinds of literary and artistic works describing the stories of that period emerged in an endless stream, and almost every one of them can be fascinating.

Haige knows that it is a war between different countries after forming an alliance, so it is called a "world war", but this so-called "three wars", does the warring two sides still have the concept of a country? I'm afraid it has completely evolved into a post-apocalyptic decisive battle between the two opposing classes of society fighting for the right to live, right?

From a panoramic view of the Ice Castle complex and the layout of the buildings around it, it is clear that not a single house has been built at random. It is clearly carefully planned and in accordance with the intention of the managers, a large area with integrated use functions has been carved out, and the whole takes on a regular hexagonal shape.

Success said that this is a new initiative of the United Earth Government, which has set up civilian houses with a military deployment plan, and has divided the vast plains north of Greenland into military districts.

The residences of the wealthy were all located in the middle of the military district, and the six corners of the hexagonal shape were the core strongholds for the deployment of military defense forces. A heavily fortified line was set up between each of the two strongholds, and even if the militia wanted to grab weapons and food, they had to go head-to-head with the army. The residential areas are impregnably defended by the six major military strongholds, and as long as the rich do not go out of the military control, they can basically rest easy.

Hai Ge asked, "So what if the militia group fires missiles at the Ice Fort area?" If the government forces fail to intercept it, won't the rich people on top have to be wiped out? ”

Success replied: "Of course there is that possibility, but based on the current situation, the possibility is very small." Do you see the glittering golden light on the roof of the ice castle? Those are precisely the hidden radar defense systems. Not only do they have a detection function, but they can also launch a Vulture BE-3 interceptor missile, with a target hit rate of up to 90 percent, and any ballistic missile flying at an altitude of less than 40 kilometers can be defeated by the Vulture's sharp beak. ”

"Defensive missile systems of the government army, installed in civilian homes? No wonder the ice castles scattered outside the Greenland plains have to be crowded here! Haige said disdainfully.

"In fact, the ice forts can no longer be regarded as simple houses, they occupy the most advantageous military position, like a sharp sword planted by the coalition government in the Arctic," Chenggong said. The installation of this state-of-the-art radar system on the roof of each ice fort is in line with the requirements of the military's all-round strategic deployment. Besides, don't the officials of the coalition government and the senior commanders of the army all live in the ice castle? Therefore, the terrible drought in the northern hemisphere has completely changed the political and economic structure of human society, and the government and the upper class have merged together to deal with the civilians who resist them, which shows that no matter how powerful the planetary civilization is, it is also vulnerable to natural disasters. ”

Although the Arctic continent has been shrouded in darkness of night for a long time, the strong light of artillery fire can illuminate most of the corners. The hexagonal military strongholds on the northern plains of Greenland are extremely busy everywhere. From time to time, you can see all kinds of tank armor and military vehicles passing through the snow-covered roads on both sides, and the tracks or wheels pull long ruts in the snow, and the dark gray marks are like black blood oozing from the ground. There were also army soldiers in and out of the barracks in a phalanx, and Hai Ge could even hear the "creaking" sound of neat military boots stepping on the snow.

The scenes were so vivid, and Hai Ge had another question: "Success, this is already the end of the 22nd century, and the weapons that human beings have invested in war should have developed to a higher level long ago, right?" For example, laser weapons. But how does it look like it was 200 years ago? ”

Chenggong said: "Sir's observation is really detailed, I was about to tell you this." In fact, the laser weapons of mankind were developed very well as a hundred years ago, but when a big war really broke out, no one on either side dared to use it. They even reached a compromise agreement that, regardless of the course of the war, they would only use old-fashioned traditional weapons and would never use lasers. ”

"Why is that?" Haige was puzzled.

He believed that the government forces could never have made such a concession for the sake of the militia, in order to avoid causing heavy casualties to their enemies. Those vicious bastards must wish that an atomic bomb would be dropped on them to wipe out the poor!

"After a solar cataclysm, the Earth's atmosphere is the first to be affected, and inevitably, the impact will spread to the ionosphere. The ionosphere is the medium of transmission of short-wave communications on Earth, and if there is a problem, it means that all communication in the Earth world is interrupted, ships stop sailing, and planes crash into the air. And from the perspective of life, people may not even use electric lights. In order to keep the ionosphere as intact as possible, Earth's space physicists are constantly tinkering with atmospheric cavities. Most of them are kind people, and they can't stop the war, so they can only use their modest efforts to heal the wounds of the earth while they are alive. It is true that government forces have stopped using air strikes for security reasons, and under constant pressure from the scientific community, they have agreed to abandon the use of laser weapons in combat, which could have a further destructive effect on the ionosphere. Of course, having understood how dangerous the current situation of the planet is, the coalition government has to admit that this is a very correct compromise decision. ”

Haige looked at the heavily guarded Ice Castle complex again. The overall style of the complex is beautiful and atmospheric, but in reality, there are still some houses that are a little rudimentary and cheap. But there is no doubt that even the worst of them could not be bought by the toiling masses who were isolated outside the hexagonal affluent district.

In the south of Greenland, from Karnak to Nuuk, the population is much larger than in the northern plains, but the popular dwellings here are limited to the Inuit tradition of simple igloos made of water poured with ordinary ice.

Igloos were built as far away from the center of the battlefield as possible, but anti-aircraft fire, or the heat caused by artillery fire, could still break or melt some of them, forcing people to build new ones after losing their new homes. Of course, it is better to have a chance to rebuild the house than to be blown up along with the igloo and turned into a pile of scattered flesh......

The earth world has regressed from a highly developed civilized society to the barbaric era of swords and blood, and it only took twenty years under natural disasters. It is like a tall building inserted into the sky, people have spent their lives building it, equipping it with all kinds of super facilities with the most advanced technological elements, and turning it into a miracle of the century, but a small explosion can make this miracle that mankind is proud of come to naught in five minutes.

Hey, what an embarrassing fact.
