During the period after the space complex fell on the Northern Continent, in addition to focusing on the possible bases under the Central City, Zhou Xin and the others still paid a little attention to the disaster that befell the land of the Republic of Kazran. www.biquge.info As Atlas said, what she had reported was only a preliminary loss statistic. Only twenty-four hours after the disaster. Losses in the Republic of Qazran have increased by at least 20 per cent compared to projections, the number of deaths has increased from 200 million to 230 million, and more than 750 million other Kazrans affected by the fall in addition to the dead population. As for the damage to various facilities, there is no way to calculate an accurate figure, and the only way to draw the scope of the damage on a map is to the point. And this statistic continues to rise over time. According to Atlas's worst estimates, if the losses of the Republic of Kazran continue to grow at this rate, the level of domestic productivity will be reduced by even ten percentage points, and the entire Republic of Kazran will be regressed to the state of thirty years ago.

For Atlas's conclusion, everyone suddenly felt embarrassed. For any of them, a single attack could have such devastating consequences on a technologically advanced civilization that they could never have imagined before. After some discussion, many people still believe that such a serious loss is also inextricably linked to the serious deformity of the technology tree of the Kazlan civilization. In fact, whether it is the Kazlan civilization or the Yuen civilization now, they have made an extremely sharp spear, but they lack a solid backing to support it. If this scene that is happening in Kazlan now happens to the Eun Empire, I am afraid that their fate will not be much worse than the former.

Not only did he pay attention to the disaster in Kazlan, but during that time, Zhou Xin also found time to make a long contact with the community.

Having just met Demancha during the contact, Zhou Xin's first sentence was to warn him of the importance of balanced development. This made the other party not figure out his mind at all from the beginning, and even thought that Zhou Xin's head was suddenly wrong. But later, after listening to Zhou Xin explain the reason, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"I never realized that the consequences of a shortcoming in technology could be so terrible." This was the first thing Demancha said in shock, and I am afraid that his words also represented the thoughts of all the Kazrans and Euns, "We also planned to classify the technologies you provide and select the key ones from them to directly improve our technology as quickly as possible. Now that I've heard you say that, I don't think we're moving in the direction of what you call deformed technology. ”

Sighing slightly, Zhou Xin said, "Sure enough, it's the same as I thought before, but it's not too late for you to wake up now." Listen to me, balanced development, and don't just overspeed on a certain technology. Some knowledge may not lead to a noticeable increase in your strength, but it will make you more aware of the advantages and disadvantages of other revolutionary technologies. Otherwise, too rapid development will lead you to faster self-destruction. ”

Demancha's expression became serious, and he replied in a grateful tone, "Thank you very much for the reminder, and in a moment I will order a meeting of all the members of the council to inform everyone of your warning. At the same time, we will also make some changes to our previous research plan, and learn all the materials you have sent at the same time. ”

"Let's wait a little longer before the meeting starts." Spred stopped, and it could be seen that his mood was not very good, "If it's just a one-sided statement, even if what you say makes sense, I'm afraid there will still be people who don't believe it." I'll send you a piece of information in a moment, it's related to our civilization, and it can be regarded as the bitter fruit of the overdevelopment of science and technology. ”

Slightly stunned, Zhou Xin remembered the thunder star that destroyed the new star explosion. In summary, it was indeed the Thunderstar people themselves who did not realize the consequences of using untested techniques on their stars that led to the anomalous explosion of their home star.

While Zhou Xin was stunned, Demancha was thanking them again and again, waving his hand to stop the words of thanks that he didn't know how many times he had said. Looking at Demancha on the screen, Zhou Xin suddenly asked a question, "You already know about the attack on the mainland of the Kazran Republic by the Eun Empire not long ago, what do you think of the serious losses suffered by the Kazran people?" As soon as this question came out, not only the other side, but even the Voyager's command module instantly fell silent. Dart and the others all looked at Zhou Xin in surprise, as if they wanted to understand why Zhou Xin asked this question.

After a few seconds, Zhou Xin realized what he had just asked, but at this time, it must have been too late to retract the previous question, and he hurriedly remedied: "I'm sorry, I'm not trying to ask your personal opinion, but I want to know what your entire community thinks about this matter, if you don't want to say it, forget it." ”

Hearing Zhou Xin's addition, the other party's originally tense atmosphere relaxed. Then, Demancha replied with a wry smile, "Actually, we have been paying attention to the war between the Eun Empire and the Republic of Kazran, and we all know what they have done, but what is the use of that? His tone was filled with deep helplessness, "Even if we want to do something, we can't do it with our strength." So all along, the only thing we could do was to watch. So if you just want to ask what we think, then our answer is only to condemn the actions of the Ewen Empire. Then he glanced at Pro, who was standing beside him with a somewhat gloomy expression, and continued, "Still, as far as what you say, many of us still feel some remorse for what our former compatriots have done. ”

"But we all belong to the same community now, and we have long since lost any relationship with the former Kazran Republic or the Eun Empire." As soon as Demancha finished speaking, Shilek patted Puro's shoulder and encouraged, "There will be no dispute between the two races in the base like the two civilizations on the planet, otherwise we wouldn't be here now." ”

"Now we have the foundation to grow." De Man looked at Zhou Xin's eyes and said, "After we have developed to a certain level and have considerable strength. I think the community will have the capital to exert some influence on Kazlan and Eun as a third force. When the time comes, we can find a way for the two sides to try to coexist peacefully. He finally spoke up openly. The other people around him didn't react too violently to Demancha's words, and it seemed that they had similar thoughts in their hearts.

"I see, I hope you can succeed." Zhou Xin glanced at Demancha deeply. Although he knew in his heart that, according to Demancha's idea, it would be almost impossible to succeed if he only interfered with those two countries. But Zhou Xin didn't point this out, he wanted Demancha to understand it himself. Before Demancha could react, he suddenly spoke, "The next batch of materials will be sent to you tomorrow, please pay attention to receive it when the time comes." ”

After that, their conversation went on for a while, but it was just some nonsense that didn't have much nutrition. A few minutes later, the two sides ended the communication.

"It's good that you got the problem back, otherwise Demancha's attitude towards us may not be as good as before." Spred breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhou Xin, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this question?" ”

"Actually, I really want to ask this question, but it's just the wrong time to ask, and it is better to wait until the aftermath of the attack is over. I didn't know what was going on just now, but I asked it out as soon as my brain twitched. Zhou Xin scratched his hair and replied, "But it's good that they answer now, at least it can make us more aware of the attitude of the community, and it also allows Demancha to confirm what he thinks in his heart." I think if the community is going to do that, we can increase our support for them a little bit. ”

"It's not impossible." After such a long exchange, Dart has also changed his opinion of the community a lot, but he is still vigilant, "But the kind of technology that is high-end for us must wait until we finally decide to leave before we can hand it over to Demancha them, so as not to cause any accidents." ”

"Well, I understand." Zhou Xin nodded in agreement.

Next, it was Atlas who found the entrance to the underground base. Then, according to Zhou Xin's previous arrangement, the probes lined up one by one at different entrances to investigate for several days. The first two or three investigations really triggered the alarm of the sentry cannon due to accident or other reasons, which really made Zhou Xin and the others a little worried, for fear that their actions would be discovered by the Kazlans. However, the probe hiding in the distance found that after the probe at the entrance was destroyed, there was no appearance of the Kazlan. Subsequently, after invading the defense system of Central City, Atlas also figured out that the sentry cannon was indeed running automatically and no one was on duty, which made Zhou Xin and them a little relieved. After figuring out the range of the sentry cannon, the probe's actions are not as careful as before.

Of course, while invading the defense system of Central City, Atlas wanted to find the defense arrangement of the underground base inside. But the result is nothing, and it seems that the two defense systems are still independent of each other. In desperation, Tesla had no choice but to turn his attention back to the investigation of the entrance to the base.

On this day, Zhou Xin, who was following the progress of the investigation throughout the whole process, asked Atlas: "It's been five days, and you still haven't found a way to enter the underground base?" ”

Shaking her head with a bitter face, the little girl replied dejectedly, "It's still early." The accuracy of the seismic detector is not very high, so until now people have only been able to confirm that the passage is near the locations given before, and even the exact location of the entrance has not been found. ”

"Haven't you decided where the entrance is?" Atlas's answer slightly surprised Zhou Xin, and his tone of voice was obviously a little disappointed.

"If I had access to all the equipment on the probe, someone would have found that damn entrance a long time ago." The little girl said hatefully.

"There's really no way around this, who told us not to expose our targets. So you might as well bear with it. Zhou Xin hurriedly comforted.

"Hmph." The little girl snorted unhappily, and then her tone returned to normal, "Brother Captain, although the investigation in the past few days has not accurately located the entrance to the underground base, people have discovered a very strange thing. Before Zhou Xin could open her mouth to ask, she continued, "The probe has been investigating the location of those entrances for so many days, but it has not found that any of the entrances have been opened during this time. It stands to reason that even if the people in the base work inside all day and don't need to go in and out, they still need supplies, so how can they not even carry out such basic activities, it is impossible that the underground base has reached the point of being self-sufficient. Moreover, if they hadn't opened the entrance door all the time, people wouldn't have spent so long unable to find the exact location of the entrance. At the end of the day, Atlas was still a little stubborn.

The situation reported by Atlas made Zhou Xin's face also show a strange look, he thought about it, and then opened his mouth to guess: "Could it be that there is still an entrance between the underground base and the outside world that the probe has not discovered?" Through these undiscovered portals, they maintain communication with the outside world? ”

"Impossible." The little girl categorically rejected Zhou Xin's opinion, "Although the accuracy of the seismic detector is not so high, people have personally analyzed those data, and it is impossible to ignore those passages with a width of more than ten meters." As for the passage below ten meters, do you know how big that base is, brother Captain? Nearly half the size of the central city, do you think such a small passage is enough to sustain the supply of such a huge base? ”

"Maybe it's because the underground base has a long supply cycle? We just didn't have time to meet them for supplies these days? Zhou Xin thought for a while and put forward a new view.

"But such a large base has not been replenished for a few days—" Atlas tried to retort again, but she couldn't find a very good reason, so her momentum suddenly dropped, "Well, maybe there is some truth in what you said, Brother Captain, and it is not impossible that the activities of the Kazlan people are different from ours. ”

"Let's wait a few more days." Zhou Xin didn't have a good solution to the situation he was facing, so he had to follow the previous arrangement and order the probe to continue to investigate the detailed location of the entrance.

However, only a few hours have passed since this conversation between Zhou Xin and Atlas, and a new situation has once again occurred on the surface of the planet......
