Chapter 664 The Republic of the Tower
A province of the Republic of Eiron Tower is larger than a state capital in Daang, although the two planets are mostly not much different. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info However, the railway 'cross' of the tower republic is much better than that of Da'ang, with the star 'gate' as the center, and the area derived from the 'cross' line on the planet is the effective territory. Only the planet where the capital and some important administrative cities are located connect the planets of multiple subordinate provinces, and in general, there is only one star 'gate' on a planet.
The star 'gate' thing cannot be adjusted when it is settled, and a star 'gate' and a planet will leave a lot of room for expansion for the next step of civilization's advancement. When the train approached the Star Gate of the Verdant Province of the Iron Tower Republic, Ren Di couldn't help but admire the spectacular man-made scene around the Star Gate of the Iron Tower Republic.
This is a huge city, in the center of the city is a kilometer high, five-kilometer-long star 'gate' on both sides of the star 'gate' arranged on one side, the other side is arranged to enter, and the logistics are maintained at all times. On the upper floor of the bottom 100 meters of the star gate, countless bridges are connected to the star gate, and enter the star gate at different heights, and the bridges on both sides of the star gate are like a hill made of reinforced concrete, and the center of the hill is cut by the star gate. In the hills, there are countless iron towers, these 500-meter-high iron towers, a large number of steel cables have been erected in mid-air, and the pods of huge containers hanging above and below the steel cables pass through the star gate. At the top of the star gate is the space for the aircraft to fly.
The height of a thousand meters, up, middle, and down, was completely utilized. The logistics order of the industrial society is not comparable to Daang, which is the capital of the verdant province. On the other side of the Star Gate is the Capital Region. From above, it looks like the center of a spider's web, where railways converge. It's a world of steel.
"The verdant city has arrived, and five million people live here," Jiuheng said to Ren Di. Ren Di, on the other hand, looked at this steel-style city. The greening is too low, the spacing between the buildings is not enough, and the housing price may be extremely expensive, Ren Di gave this evaluation inexplicably in his mind.
Whether it is Da Ang or the Republic of Iron Tower, they are all the appearance of the Oriental race. The buildings are also with the style of the Oriental continental system, the architectural style takes the earth as an example, the buildings in the world are spires, in order to let the water fall freely from the roof, but the roof style is different in different climates, Europe is the Gothic poke the dead series style, the roof is not sharp enough, it is not reverent to God. The mid-east wind has a large sand, so it is spherical and has a small sharp point on it. As for China, the roof is supported by beams and cornices from high to low tiles.
You can say that the religion is different, but from the engineering point of view, they are all structures that are suitable for the local people to cope with the weather and live. However, with the development of human material science, under the high-grade building materials, no matter which style is used, it can be windproof, sandproof and waterproof. Architectural style is not just needed in terms of practicality. And the city has no traditional culture at all, and all the houses are flat-roofed. This is a city made of reinforced concrete and concrete.
In this metropolis, there is also a branch of Kuangyi Academy, and the train slowly stops, and a large number of teenagers get off the train, and they will take the next exam in the provincial capital.
Outside the car window, a pair of phoenix eyes looked at Ren Di resentfully. When Ren Di turned his face, those eyes immediately left. Ren Di knew that this was Han Qin, and Jiuheng also saw this scene and said, "You are hated by her." ”
Ren Di said: "This emotion is not good for her, but with time, she should be able to calm down." Jiuheng nodded and said: "Very good, for people who will never meet again in the future, let time fall and take them away like flowing water." ”
Ren Di said: "What about you? Aren't you going to get off the boat. Jiu Heng said, "I am responsible for sending you and fourteen other escorts from other provinces to the capital province. ”
Half an hour later, the train continued to move, after making an appointment with the Star Gate. Arrived on the planet where the capital of the Eiffel Tower Republic is located. There are three continents on this planet, and this planet has been completely controlled by the Eiffel Tower Republic. The star gates of various provinces and regions are lined up here. In the area where the Star Gate is located, there are even islands in the ocean. The materials controlled by a province are poured directly on the island ports on the ocean after entering the star gate, and then a large amount of materials are directly loaded and transported to cities in various coastal areas.
These islands are backed by a star gate, so the economy is very developed. And after passing through the Star Gate, Ren Di arrived at such an island city.
There are a total of three star 'gates' on this island equivalent to the size of Honolulu, backed by the transfer of supplies from the three planets, and the island is also a financial center.
And when Ren Di walked out of the mound-like transit station of the No. 3 Star 'Gate' steel 'Mix' territory, he saw the city and bought a map of the capital area. A minute later he said: "This world battleship has a lot to offer. ”
Yes, the world battleships are even better than aircraft carriers. There are a large number of ocean island cities in this world, and each city does not need to rely on the supply of materials from the mainland, and can directly obtain materials from the Star Gate, just like the Blue Coral City where Ren Di is located. There are three star gates on it. Able to mobilize supplies from three planets, the outside route is blocked. You can still live.
This city is equivalent to three continents of different dimensions, a point of contact on the ocean on this planet. The strategic value of the shipping routes on the planet is extremely high. Because for the island country, once the route is cut off, the island country will completely lose the external channel for material supply. And the aircraft carrier battle group is a ship with a huge combat radius. Instead of bombing your city, the sea around you is blocked.
And it is not strategic to blockade large areas of the sea in this world. As for the aircraft carrier, there are so few planes to scare the land-based air defense towers. As well as subgrade clustering, that would be very unwise.
There are more than 30,000 planets in the Republic of Tower, and more than 30,000 star 'gates' are scattered on the major coastlines and island cities. Most naval battles are not ocean-going naval battles, but near-sea naval battles. Cruising in the blue waters no one pays attention to you. It's like you're racing in a no-man's land and no police arrest you.
The dense star 'gate' erection greatly reduces the transportation cost, the cost of material transfer from one planet to another planet is extremely low, and when you reach the vicinity of the star 'gate' in the capital area, you only need to cross hundreds of kilometers to find what you want to transship in another city, and the high-cost transportation of ocean transportation is not competitive. So on the blue water ocean, there are no transport ships in sight.
The entire planet is highly regionalized. If there is a conflict, it is with the neighboring region. It is enough to send a group of battleships to go a few hundred kilometers and use naval guns to deter them. As for aircraft carriers, first of all, you don't have to cross thousands of kilometers and bomb other city-states that have nothing to do with your interests. Second, even if you fly all the way, you will be intercepted by a large number of prevention and control networks, and the fighter jets that take off from many city-states will be questioned.
And the battleship formations with rough skin and thick 'meat' are the armor soldiers under the command of various maritime city-states. The entire Iron Tower Planet (Capital Star) is thus entrenched by twenty-seven families. They all have city-states under the absolute control of their own families, and their businesses operate in a number of neutral city-states.
On this particular planet, where major military conflicts have been extinguished for thousands of years, and the factions led by the twenty-seven families have been fighting for thousands of years, and now there is an economic attack between the various city-states.
The edge of the blue coral city is like a square jagged, and the berths of ships are arranged in an orderly manner, and Ren Di takes the subway to the seventh passenger cruise ship. Ren Di will embark on a voyage of 3,000 kilometers.
Businessmen don't have to travel far on this planet, and students who want to go to schools on this planet have to travel far and wide on this planet.
On the turquoise sea. Super battleships with a displacement of at least 60,000 tons and seven battleships with a displacement of 30,000 tons escorted the way. This kind of super-large battleship is more of a glory in this world. Just like in the days of sails on Earth, wooden battleships often have numerous carvings on them. It shows the wealth and strength of the aristocratic power that made battleships.
Ren Di feels that if the world can enter the era of large-scale automated production of chips, the output of various high-precision parts will be sufficient. Missile boats of five hundred to a thousand tons are enough.
There are missiles in this world, as can be seen from the configuration on battleships. But the production of missiles is clearly somewhat touching. If it is really time to start fighting, these giant battleships should first act as mobile missile launch platforms.
There is a huge difference between missiles and artillery shells. The shells, the shells of the Iowa-class battleships weigh 1.2 tons, the standard low-speed heavy shells, and the shells designed to reduce air resistance, this thing is an iron lump, and the internal explosive 'charge' is only 20 kilograms. After smashing through the armor, the damage caused is limited. Sometimes it even pierces through the weak armor in the bow of the ship, and then comes out directly from the other end and explodes directly in the ocean on the other side.
Missiles, on the other hand, do not have such a thick shell, and the warheads inside the ship-to-ship missiles, that is, explosives, are all one or two hundred kilograms, to say the least, and what is the concept of one or two hundred kilograms. Don't be fooled by the thousands of tons of TNT energy used by nuclear weapons, and disregard hundreds of kilograms of explosives as explosives. For the destructive effect of one or two hundred kilograms of explosives, please refer to the Shijiazhuang bombing case, which was more than 100 kilograms of civilian explosives that directly blew up a brick and stone dormitory building. If the battleship encounters a shipborne missile, if it is lucky enough not to be blown up to a key part, it will also be half-disabled, and a large area on the battleship will be paralyzed.
For specific results, please refer to the Flying Fish in the Battle of the Falklands. Argentina is just a few flying fish, and the British Empire is nervous. Mobilize foreign 'diplomacy' forces so that Argentina does not have access to additional sources of missiles in the international community. This is the power of missiles, missiles that explode enough 'medicine' to send you to the sky.
And this era is far from the era of automation. The Third Industrial Revolution has been below the horizon in the early hours of the morning.
