The area where the European Joint Defense Agency is located can be traced back to the last century and has a well-known name -- "Wolf's Lair", from which the important military orders of Germany in World War II came from, where the Führer formulated the second Sea Lion Plan, and signed the order of Sino-German nuclear bombing of Red Russia. The order to hang Churchill, an important war criminal of World War II, was signed here. Today, it remains the center of military decision-making throughout Europe.

The double-S-shaped building has a total of 27 floors on the ground and 16 floors underground, and at this time, in the conference room in the center of the building, dozens of high-ranking and senior military officers are gathered here, and on their large screens are playing images captured by satellites in East Asia.

Beginning on June 12, 2038, the warships will be heading north at a speed of 500 kilometers per day. The battleship was traveling at a normal cruising speed, twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, slightly faster than a bus, and walked day and night. This speed is slow for a lightly armored division that deploys quickly and mobilely, but it is a state of high-speed march for a heavy armored division without rail support. A total of nine 10,000-ton warships, this is a force to be reckoned with on the sea. And on land it can be understood as the movement of nine heavily armored divisions to the north.

In the halls of the European Joint Defense Agency

General Hartmann, dressed in a black military uniform, held up a laser pointer to the photo taken on the big screen and said: "The first time I found it was in March of this year, when we saw this platform that could move on land in Asia. But at that time we did not pay too much attention, knowing that the day before yesterday the units of this model carried out a long-distance maneuver. So far, it is still moving northwest at a speed of 500 kilometers per day. ”

An officer sitting in the second row of the seat (in the Jerusalem area) raised his hand and said, "With enough air power, I think such a huge platform should be easy to destroy." ”

Hartmann pressed the laser pointer, and switched to the next set of photos on the electronic screen, on the grassland, the eight-legged giant steel monster was moving forward, and seeing this steel monster reminded these Germanic generals of the Führer's big toy, Gustav's cannon.

"This is a picture taken by our intelligence officers that was taken 10 hours ago," Hartman said.

The photo shows the full picture of the ship. Electromagnetic naval guns, radar towers, are clearly visible on the photo.

Hartman pointed to the second half of the land ship in the photo, the steel platform that spread out like big wings, and the seven (four meters long) without # man-machine on one platform, and said to everyone: "You guys are shocked. The Asians are directly installing their newest ground attack ship with eight legs. ”

A scientist in the fifth row immediately said, "No, this is not scientific, and the current machinery cannot do it to this extent." "And the field is getting noisy

"Knock knock" Hartman tapped his fingers on the table, signaling the audience to be quiet, and when the audience was quiet, Hartman said: "Don't forget last year's Pudong incident, the super battleship floating over Pudong City. This earth has superpowers, and the large war machines that meet the special conditions with superpowers cannot be speculated on. Just like our U-boats, now the Russians should also be shouting unscientific. The world has changed. ”

Harmant finished the introduction with many officers, and randomly decided that the European Military Joint Defense Agency made the decision to recruit the superpowered into the army on a large scale, and at the same time launched a more in-depth cooperation with the gods, and held this meeting. Prepare to regulate military resources and military establishments.

June 15, 2038

In the Golden Sheep Society, the major superpowers in white suits gathered. A total of fourteen gods from the entire Golden Sheep Society are present now, and of course, ten of them participated in this meeting in the form of 3D projection.

In the very center of the meeting room, the god Odin raised his head and looked at the children who were bowing their heads and praying sincerely, and said randomly, "Farewell, children. ”

At this time, these gods raised their heads one after another and looked at Odin with somewhat complicated expressions. Seven years ago, Odin came, and in these seven years, the Golden Sheep Society has eight more gods. Odin became the de facto head of the Golden Goat Society. And now that the leader has announced that he is leaving, the first reaction of these gods is that there is no lucky one to come out and be their equal.

In the past seven years, the gods of the Golden Sheep Society have been far more low-key than those of other ministries, because their rights can be reduced at any time.

After the world in Pudong last October, Odin announced that he was leaving. This news caused a major earthquake within the Golden Sheep Society, and for most of the people of the Golden Sheep Society, the strength of the Golden Sheep Society could not continue to expand, and of course, for the gods, the time for them to call the shots had arrived.

It's not just Odin who is leaving, Hera, Poseidon, and the other six Adventists are leaving, in the original plot, after these six Adventists arranged the seven main anchors, they then inserted their own character fragments into a number of lucky people to push the number of Earth Gods to three digits.

But now, due to Lu An's battle against Tianyun, Tianyun's huge dark matter structure collapsed, and the dark matter structure of the gods in this world has been violently impacted. Lu An's super energy in the battle of Tianyun is extremely complicated in the struggle of 600,000 times. After the war, the global dark matter field was already fluctuating with Luan. This led to the rapid collapse of the six Adventists after the Pudong incident. In fact, in the original plot, these six people also affected the global dark matter because Lu An used it as an anchor of wisdom, making the dark matter structure carried by these six unstable, and in the timelines of other plots, these six have never been able to find the reason. And the reason is found in the next timeline.

After Odin created a god in March of this year, he decided to leave (consciousness died in this world) and bring important information from this world back to the Synod universe.

Winter: "Lord, what revelation have you left us?" Odin appeared in front of him, and he pointed to the place on the East Asian continent and said, "Last October, the being who resisted God's presence is still in this world. ”

Hearing this, the gods of the Golden Sheep Society held their breath, and then Vogt, another god beside Winter, said: "My god, according to our information, that existence should have been hit hard after the Pudong incident. ”

Odin shook his head: "The dark matter fluctuations of the gods (Tianyun) descended by Pudong in this world have disappeared, and judging from the fluctuations of this world, which victor of the war (Lu An) has not been hit hard. ”

Odin's words silenced the members of the Golden Sheep Society, Ragnarok was inevitable. And the one in the east who can end up at any time may give this world variables, so that the gods of the Golden Sheep Society, who have lost their gods, can't help but feel frightened.

However, Odin's subsequent words made these gods feel that there was a turnaround, Odin: "However, the one in the east should be in a new round of dormancy at the moment, and he is probably in this position. The globe in front of Odin rotated, and his finger pointed to southwestern China. Enlarged map fingers slightly draw a circle of 400,000 square kilometers in the southwest mountainous area. Odin said, "Right here, in a sparsely populated place, just avoid here." ”

The members of the Golden Sheep Society began to consult the map database and search for this local area, and found that this is not an important strategic area, sparsely populated, inconvenient transportation, and belongs to the dead end of the earth. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at random.

But then the next god smelled curiously: "Where is he doing now?" ”

Odin shook his head and said, "Unknowable"

July 38 In the mountainous land of Qiandi. Despite the 100 years of industrialization in the world, it is still extremely difficult for human beings to leave traces of large-scale activities in such a place on earth.

If we stand in the 22nd century or the 23rd century, human beings will re-evaluate the development of human civilization in this period, and they will never compare per capita GDP and human happiness indicators as in the 21st century.

Later generations will only judge the following three criteria

Personal welfare: health technology (medical technology) for human beings to maintain their own bodies,

Tool production: the output of the tool and the quality of the tool

Natural environment exploration: and the development of harsh natural environments.

Article 3 is very different from the criteria for judging the international "level of social development" in the 21st century.

For the technological level of the industrial countries of the 21st century, there is no difficulty in building coastal areas, as long as there are sufficient financial resources, the world's productive forces in the 21st century can build cities full of science and technology, such as Dubai. Of course, if a nation has industrial literacy and can provide labor for the global industrial chain, it is even more so, just like the coastal cities of Japan and South Korea in Northeast Asia.

Coastal ease of construction is based on maritime technology. The shipping technology of the twenty-second and twenty-third centuries provides the same transportation cost, so the future people will never regard the coastal prosperity supported by shipping as an indicator of the degree of development of civilization at this time, and from the perspective of the future, the development of the harsh natural environment is the indicator of the degree of development of civilized countries at this time.

These mountainous parts are too difficult to develop in the eyes of most people in the twenty-first century, with low wages, few supplies, too heavy work responsibilities, and no fashion and entertainment. But these mountainous areas are much less difficult to develop than the Moon and Mars.

The fact is that the Moon and Mars are even more inhabitable, and if you plan to build an early base on the Moon, you will need to implement a rationing system for water and food. Because an independently operated lunar base is a complex system, the early construction of a lunar base in the 22nd century will require hundreds of thousands of people to do their jobs. In order to maintain the perfect operation of the base, life here is much more difficult than in the mountains, where you can return home once a year, and in the development of the moon, maybe once every few years.

As for Mars, with a rocket space system, a trip to it will take a few months. Moreover, the distance between Mars and Earth is still changing, and it is not possible to go back and forth casually.

Therefore, in the 21st century, if it is difficult to even build a mountainous plateau, then it is best not to stare at the Moon and Mars.

In the mountainous area of Guizhou, a large amount of white smoke is coming out of the cooling towers (the size of a nuclear power plant, which is actually geothermal) after the construction of the cooling towers.

This is a sign that this place is being developed, and to Luan's delight, due to his superpowers, it is developing quickly here, and to Luan's disappointment, it still can't attract a large number of people to settle here. The conditions for material comfort provided by the plains are still better than those in the mountains.
