Chapter 111: The Necessity of the Mage Tower
Bai Mu had a strong interest in the science and technology of the Zitari people, and although they did not bring stronger strategic weapons in the battle in New York, their comprehensive technology surpassed that of humans.
For example, what is the principle of flying insects, which are so large and completely unaerodynamic, but can fly freely in the air?
One may be a superconductor at room temperature, and the Meissner effect generated in the superconducting state opposes the earth's magnetic field, so that it can remain suspended from the ground, and controlling the state of superconductivity can make it flexible and undulating.
The second is that it may be an anti-gravity device, because the flexibility of flying insects, only with the help of superconductivity, the technology is still too complicated, if it is anti-gravity, everything can be easily solved.
Whether it is superconductivity or anti-gravity, it is of great help to human science and technology, superconductivity can create a strong magnetic field, can break through large-scale nuclear fusion power generation technology, can supply energy with zero loss, build the strongest electromagnetic gun, and so on.
Not to mention anti-gravity, the benchmark of science fiction works, in short, is able to quickly pull mankind into the interstellar age, space travel is no longer a high-cost activity, and the stage of recycling rockets can be directly skipped.
Flying technology alone is so important to humans.
The weapons, communications, creatures, hive consciousness that the Zetarians also brought with them...... The countless battlefield equipment, the cleaning up of the wreckage, basically who took it and who developed!
It was not surprising that other units in the United States were eyeing each other, but the relevant departments were brutal enough, and they also united with General Anderson, who was temporarily guarding New York, to block any items, which could not be touched by others, otherwise they would be hit.
Anderson is also a good person, holding a cigar and being there as a doorman, I don't know if I ask three questions, and I don't care if I ask again! Of course, protests came, and Bai Mu faced this issue more than once at the meeting.
He has already memorized the rhetoric: "The relevant departments will hand over the items left by the alien invaders to various units after confirming that there are no dangerous or anti-personnel explosives in the items left behind by the alien invaders." ”
"But until then, please be patient, gentlemen, no one can guarantee that the Zetarians have left a time bomb in it, and you laymen will meddle in and play with one that explodes? In the event of a second casualty, who is responsible? ”
The high-sounding rhetoric temporarily gags the mouths of the opponents. Bai Mu contacted the deputy director after the meeting, asking to speed up the collection of loot to ensure that every researcher had a job to do.
Hill also offers a more divergent opinion: "We can take advantage of the research materials we have to attract more scientists. ”
Bai Mu did not refuse to come to the benefit: "We have abundant funds, so we can rest assured." ”
After saying this, he asked about New York: "Is there any movement in the reconstruction of Manhattan?" Maybe it's okay to move more about the base to Long Island. ”
"The post-disaster relief is still ongoing, and the reconstruction of Manhattan is a certainty, and the details will not be discussed until the relief is over," Hill said. ”
"What about Long Island? Shouldn't it have been less damaged? Bai Mu remembered that it was a suburb, that is, there were mostly two-story buildings, and the damage should not be serious.
"In fact, we're planning to buy a local airport and expand it into a base — if Congress agrees, sir?"
Seeing the smile flashing across Hill's face, Bai Mu knew that she was sure of her smooth sailing here. The state of war is not over, the president has unprecedented power, and basically whatever he says, Congress agrees.
It's like during World War II, Roosevelt did whatever he wanted, Congress was just a group of his fans, and its role was to follow behind and shout Lao Tie 666.
Because the vicious aliens have given these Americans a head start, the mentality of the world hegemon has been sitting in the well and watching the sky, and how to maintain their status and ensure safety is what they are pursuing.
Yesterday, Bai Mu asked the secretary to write an application to store a batch of nuclear bombs in the relevant departments' bases, but the Congress had no opinion, and the president had already signed and agreed.
The effectiveness of the United States in times of war has skyrocketed, and the president's power has reached unprecedented heights, and he is tasked with maintaining American military power, calming domestic sentiments, and ensuring that overall power is not surpassed.
As a result, the whole country has entered a state of all-out focus on post-war reconstruction, the replenishment and upgrading of arms and weapons...... The flip side of the war is that it will greatly boost GDP and promote the prosperity of various industries.
After digesting the technology of the Zetarians, it will be the ideal "post-war technological explosion", and all walks of life will take off again, quickly replenishing the strength of the interstellar era.
It is no wonder that war drives scientific and technological progress.
……
Because there are still many interests involved, Bai Mu temporarily lives in Washington.
When I have nothing to do, I run a few laps around the lake to maintain exercise, and the scenery on this side of Washington is still good, although the landmark Washington Monument was destroyed by the Zetarians, and the White House was also hit twice.
But the army's defense of Washington was also the most intense, second only to New York in the center of the battlefield, and because there were not many skyscrapers here, the city's appearance was not greatly damaged.
Sometimes he forgets that the Great War had affected the area, and if he went to New York, it would have been miserable, because there were so many high-rise buildings in central Manhattan that they had been destroyed and now in ruins.
But the hearts of the Marvel people are reflected, even if Manhattan suffers, it is still an ideal place, the center of finance, and the fastest recovery and reconstruction work is also Wall Street.
The suspended securities trading will soon resume, and veteran shareholders know that after the war, those military contractors, weapons and arms companies, and their stocks will usher in a wave of soaring, and they can't wait to enter the market!
Bai Mu doesn't comment on this kind of speculation, but he also thinks about buying the bottom - isn't Manhattan a waste of waste? Even half of the building has collapsed, and reconstruction is inevitable.
The options for reconstruction are also broader, and there are a lot of ruins around, so it is easy to buy and rebuild, and the price is not high after the disaster. The most important thing is the energy core, and the magic energy here is the most abundant.
The work of reconstruction made him think more, to continue the ordinary building? He's out of sight anymore! As a venerable mage, there is no mage tower at all!
The Mage Tower represents the essence and strength of the mage, in addition to showing off and creating unattainable effects, it is also an ideal energy supply station, which can continuously "refuel" the mage.
If someone fights him in the mage tower, he dares to guarantee that there will be three more ancient ones, and the end will be rubbed on the ground by him!
It can also set up various defensive prohibitions, trigger magic, and a large protection system in it. In fact, the temple in New York is a kind of mage tower, but it is made like a house, and it is relatively low-key.
Low-key is not what Bai Mu wants, high-profile domineering is what he favors. Simply build a large spire, towering into the sky, proud of New York, underground nuclear power supply, and above-ground mana protection.
At least five or six hundred meters high, collect the top materials that can be used on the earth, such as vibranium and Edelman alloy, build its main skeleton, and then depict the magic formation, standing majestically in New York.
If he had an ideal mage tower when the aliens invaded, whether the Zetarians could be so arrogant or not, I'm afraid it would have to be another story!
Thinking about it, the construction of the Mage Tower is really necessary!
