829 The Light of Salvation
5/1/86. The gaze shifted from the East Asian continent to the European continent, which was already a wasteland.
At this time, the European continent was desolate, and it was not a nuclear strike that caused the greatest damage to European civilization in the Fourth World War.
The nuclear strike created a lot of wasteland, but the radiation levels in most areas dropped rapidly after a few months. And what really wasted Europe was the meteorological weapons.
In the past, the European region gave the world the impression of being warm and humid and the land was fertile. But there is a problem with the European region. That is, the latitude is too high, and most of Britain, France and Germany have the same latitude as Northeast China. Even higher.
And the key to making the continental climate of Europe livable. Warm currents in the Caribbean. Once this warm current deviates from Europe, it will have serious consequences (as depicted in the so-called "The Day After Tomorrow" movie). The climate of the East Asian continent is relatively stable. Because the Pacific Ocean System is too large. It is difficult for manpower to change this monsoon climate.
The plan for a meteorological strike in Europe was reported by a Japanese scientist in 2079. When the Grand Fleet of the Pacific camp, in the North Atlantic, was attacked by supersonic missiles.
The base camp of the Pacific camp believed that the casualties of the landing on the European mainland were too large. It was randomly decided to activate the meteorological weapon.
Since '82, the Pacific camp has blasted most of Greenland's glacial areas. Large amounts of fresh water poured into the ocean, and the salinity of the sea changed into a sea that clogged the ocean currents.
So 12,000 years ago, the New Fairy Wood incident reappeared today. The whole of Europe is still dry and cold throughout the summer. Coupled with the gray dust clouds in the sky, the fourth nuclear war left behind bleak cities.
Looking down on the European continent, it is not the ruins of the big cities that have been bombed and shattered, but the villages that look like haunted houses on the desolate land. A sharp whistling in the cold wind.
All the surviving Europeans hid underground. Of course, because the capitalist system was implemented before the war, it was far more difficult to face a nuclear war than in the five star regions of East Asia.
(In another timeline, in the early 21st century, China could use up a century of American cement in three years.) So much cement has been smashed on the infrastructure, raising the upper limit of what can be accommodated in the Midwest. The scale of the cement and steel consumed is huge, and it is basically a loss in peacetime. Because the infrastructure in the west has increased from zero to 60, everyone still goes to live in the big cities in the east in the 90th and 100th percent.
Only a socialist country can have such organizational power to make a long-term strategic investment in survival. The capitalist countries will not sustain this era of peace, long-term economic loss-making farming.
Behind this is the need for a super-large-scale cement and steel industry scale. And such a super-large-scale cement steel scale far exceeds the needs of the market in peacetime.
The cost of maintaining this production beyond what is needed in peacetime markets is the consumption of two or three full generations of savings. Using the 'house = wealth' value that exists in the general part of society, a large amount of idle wealth in society that cannot be invested in survival projects is harvested.
In times of peace, there is a huge difference between one house per family and ten houses. But during the war years, when the existential crisis broke out, the house was like paper money, and it was something that depreciated significantly. One or two tons of cans can be replaced with a set. And it will also be banned by the state from cashing out the house.
What kind of system determines what kind of future.
The war potential of the European region in the era of nuclear war is very weak. War is a time for the country to advance and the people to retreat, but now the state is limited by the foundation. Most of the sub-developed regions are limited by road infrastructure, and the country is unable to maintain its organizational structure. Now it is the retreat of the country and the flight of the people.
A large number of survivors, taking refuge in small shelters built by their own families, survived on canned food collected before the war. This survival action is entirely at the family level.
The reason why European governments did not collapse is simply because natural people have no strength to rebel, and more than half of the population is cyborg.
European civilization is already half-dead, having largely abandoned the natural man.
Because no matter how much natural people compress their own needs, they can't compare to cyborgs. After all, a cyborg who can ignore medical pain and work in all kinds of harsh environments during a year's growth period is much cheaper than a natural person who has worked hard to live for decades.
There are currently 67 species of cyborgs in Europe, and the genetic blueprint comes from 67 women. Compared with the genetic blueprint of the King James Bei Shuqing in the East, the Western West has much more technical blueprints produced by cyborgs than in the East due to the fact that various consortia uphold free competition. In terms of cyborg's technology, there are many technological characteristics on the European side, but in this era of disaster, dozens of factions have also been created.
And at this time in the main base under the European Alps,
A new generation of cyborgs began to produce, with 50 percent of the skin being ceramic skin, 30 percent of the body being mechanical, and 30 percent of the brain's inorganic chips. On the blue mechanical production line, there is a mixture of mechanical parts and biological cell tigers. This is the most advanced cyborg in Europe.
In the glass corridor above the production line, generals in military uniforms walked by. Right now. The textile industry is not enough to sustain a diverse range of garments. So it's all military uniforms.
Arbon, an evolved officer, was able to look at the screen on the cyborg production center below. On the screen is a comparison of the values of cyborgs in various families in Europe at this time. At this time, the cyborgs produced in the base are more basic numerically than those of all other families.
This technological advantage is brought about by Albon's own technology.
And now Albon's expression is very solemn, and he has no joy in surpassing this era in biochemical technology. Numbers jumped in the pupils of his eyes, and in his perspective, the latest intelligence information popped up,
The first piece of intelligence was that the East Asian civil war had ended (this is outdated information, but the European side of a nuclear war is really closed. The League of Nations lost its leadership in East Asia and was unable to launch a large-scale offensive on Europe in the short term.
The second piece of information is actually the information of the regenerators collected before the war. and information on the forces of the moon in space.
Regenerators and cyborgs are technically connected. However, in terms of social role, the regenerator assumes the role of a human, while the biochemical person assumes the role of a tool.
As an evolutionary officer, Albon always kept an eye on the technological progress of this era during his mission. Of course, there is also social progress. The technological level is one level, and now there is a lack of people in the whole of European society who can keep up with technological developments.
Albon was looking with envy at the Regenerator Project on the moon at this time. When the total natural human population in Europe fell to 10 million, the European evolution officers experienced the heartache of what it means to be bankrupt.
Intelligent tools only know to obey orders and master technology, while people develop technology with their own main purpose. The situation in East Asia heralds the beginning of the next historical process.
In the new historical process, since East Asia has preserved a large number of people during the war, these populations can promote the further development of social production after regeneration. And Europe simply has no time to recover. Restore the number of natural persons. Proceed to the next historical process. From the very beginning of this historical process, Europe has fallen into a huge backwardness.
And biochemical people, the knowledge of biochemical people is passively input, and the knowledge system is a variety of formulas. For them, they are born with it, but the system is perfect. It is extremely difficult to break the perfection of this body of knowledge and then create the motivation to pursue perfection. Because the inherent mode of knowledge, like a shackle, limits its ability to think in multiple lines.
In the last historical process, European civilization took advantage of the industrial revolution that was the first to start and overtook the Eastern civilization in the corner. In this nuclear war, it was swept away by the waves all at once. European civilization in this era is facing a huge demographic disadvantage (of natural persons).
And now what's worse is that in this timeline, the European side has not yet realized its natural demographic inferiority. Many forces are still enthusiastically replacing natural vacancies with cyborgs. They are not aware of the consequences of doing so.
"In terms of natural persons, Europe is already very difficult to recover"
After walking over the blue glass bridge, Albon also retrieved the information on his pupils. In a deep voice, he made a judgment that bordered on despair.
However, a few minutes later, a crystal cube appeared on his finger, which was a large-capacity data storage, and the data in this silica cube could not be changed or deleted compared to a disk hard disk. But the advantage is that the amount of information is huge.
He inserted the data container into the main control room, and a few minutes later, all the cyborgs in the lab in the rows of culture silos below him opened their blue eyes.
The cyborg in the cultivation warehouse has a complicated and blank vision, like a child who learns for the first time that "there is deception in the world".
The information infused by the Albon Crystal Cube is very complex and is a thinking concept of Western Greek philosophy and German philosophy. There are also some questions that have no answers, and are half broken. In this information, there is no full answer at all.
Example 1: There is a wood that has sunk to the bottom of the water in this world, but the name of the wood is not known.
Example 2: The density of plastic and amber is different, but the difference in size is unknown.
This item, the information that does not directly give an answer, is poured into the information of the cyborg, which can be said to be useless information, and after a large amount of information is entered, it is easy to make the cyborg. So much so that it is not perfect.
But making cyborgs imperfect is what Arbon is aiming for now. - Natural people have become drunk and degenerate from psychotropic drugs and have lost hope, so they can only let the cyborgs do their best to carry the burden of civilization.
