Chapter 53: The Beginning (1)
In normal order, Roger was the first to walk out of the conference room. Due to the conversation he had with DG about responsibility and obligations in the spirit link just now, he still seemed a little absent-minded after turning into the hallway.
Then, when he felt something tugging at his hair, he looked back and saw nothing, at best, a tiny forearm as sharp as the tip of a claw dangling in the corner of his eye.
Miss Nono and her team then came out as if they didn't see anything, and then the ordinary smart people seemed to see something but decided not to say anything. Finally, when it was the turn of the Savior team to go out, Luda at the front was really a kind person, he was the first to ask someone to wait, and then after a few steps, he helped Roger take off the little armadillo hanging from his hair.
That's right, it's picked.
Although I don't know what kind of transformation DG has made to this little armadillo, but the sharpness of its claws is obviously unable to help Roger's hair, so although the little armadillo squatting at the door to sneak attack Roger hits with one blow, because someone's hair is too flexible, the result is that it is dragged out of the corridor and slides away.
Everyone in the room knew that the little guy was Passafol's pet, and that he didn't like Roger for anything, and basically everyone could understand it somewhat. The most important thing is that it can't pose any threat to Roger, so of course this level of mischievous harassment is up to it. As for the self-inflicted hardships that followed, of course, it was not even an ordinary episode.
Anyway, after clearing the burden on his head, Roger at most turned around and thanked Luda, and continued to walk in the direction of his own lounge - the meeting was obviously going to continue for a while, and some of the participants who were originally on the field were specially arranged to live in a single dormitory near the venue. What kind of hotel, five-star hotel and the like are not there on the earth now, even the commander-in-chief like Roger has only arranged the closest one to the venue, and the others have no preferential treatment.
Of course, if you think about it from the perspective of "not having to teleport back to your respective residence", the benefits themselves already exist. As for why the little armadillo will appear here, it is because there will be related links such as "self-report of the parties" in the next meeting, so Passasocial will live here for a few days anyway, and there is nothing wrong with arranging her pet in advance, right?
As for the working meal, the leaders will not repeat the irrelevant details such as taking the time to deal with their own business, in short, although this meeting has been held for nearly a week or so, and there has been no effective conclusion at the end, but the daily operation of the earth's civilization has not been affected. Miss Nono, in particular, actually made a new solo album this week......
In short, the only clause that seems to be a solution is that the DG side has once again opened the right to visit and test drive the ten Templar Lands, and this kind of large-scale project may solve some of the problems of young people's excess energy, maybe.
The visit itself sounds like nothing, but in fact, except for the specialized assembly workers, only the staff and airframe pilots of the previous few Templars have boarded the ship, and the other ordinary earth humans have only sat in the Great Red Lotus level a few times at best, and only a few reserve elites can have the treatment of riding the Red Lotus Ark class. As for the immersive visit of the latter in the form of the eye of the big red lotus, it is usually used for the department's year-end benefits.
It's not a new hierarchy, it's just a protection for the general population.
Now the population of this earth is tens of millions, and the specific number can only be grasped by Roger and DG. Since there is no plan to develop the next generation in the short term, the so-called census has not been officially conducted.
And it's obviously something that DG can count directly with a few batches of doppelgangers, and it is also used to launch a regular census?
Of course, the real reason for not doing a demographic survey is not to draw the attention of the general public to the attrition of their own troops in the battles over the years. This number itself is actually very small, because Roger's side has always adhered to the principle of preserving himself first and then expelling the enemy. There is such a big hidden danger as the anti-spiral clan hanging over their heads all the time, who has the time to consume their own manpower to fight those spiral clans that are used as tools?
But after all, there will always be accidents of one kind or another in this world, and combat attrition can be avoided as much as possible, and non-combat attrition is not so easy to control. For example, take the little armadillo's sneak attack on Roger just now as an example, usually if it is replaced by an ordinary person, it is a matter of losing a few hairs, and only on the head of Roger's monster will it become a little armadillo and turn into a gourd on its own. In short, in all previous battles, the greatest losses of the Earth Space Army came from their own misoperations, and even Roger couldn't save this kind of thing.
Obviously, then, military personnel who have undergone a certain degree of professional training are able to make mistakes in their busyness, and they are originally screened, and civilians who do not have the corresponding talents can only be in more trouble once they get into trouble, so it is normal to formulate rules such as "entering the combat area of the ship under all-round strict protection".
And not only civilians, but also drivers are usually restricted to operating only in the Gnaku, training grounds, dormitories, and living quarters. The bridge can be visited occasionally, such as the power room, the engine area, or the weapons operation room, etc., which is also insensitive to the pilots. Who makes the spiral force pay attention to the courage to innovate, but these key parts must be kept smooth and stable?
In fact, one of the most troublesome aspects of the Spiral Military Technology is that basically most warships can be transformed into humanoid bodies of the same level under the action of the spiral force. But unless the original crew members of the ship teleported out of the city at the first time, the protection on the bridge could not be as strong as the cockpit of the fuselage with one or several layers after all, right?
In actual combat, the pilot may feel that he is in danger, but the former staff who only have a seat belt (or personal safety device) on the bridge at best are obviously unlucky. But if they were to go back to the safety cabins in their respective rooms immediately, in case the fuselage turned back into a battleship again, or if they were unlucky enough to be sunk directly, they wouldn't even have time to return to the lifeboat on the bridge?
What the? You say that this is unscientific, that all personnel should be concentrated in a central position at the beginning, each lying in a tightly protected liquid biological tank, and directing the battleship through a line?
Well, isn't this an anti-spiral?
Of course, the introduction of the inertial control device of the TOP plane can solve the problem very well, but it seems that there is no such thing in the original book of this plane, in other words, in many places, naval battles and even roller coaster modes are deliberately used to interpret the intensity of the battle, isn't this asking for trouble......
Unfortunately, the more such details cannot be arbitrarily changed, and the more unreasonable the many existing systems on the earth become. In short, this is an inexplicable plane where the vast majority of people are shoehorned into "the quality of ordinary people and the addition of spiral force". Roger is an absolute outlier in this world, and he can't do DG transformation of his companions at will like he did in the previous mission planes.
In short, this constrained status quo is not to mention Roger, and even the existing leadership is quite a headache. Top pilots like Passaford and Tommy, sitting on the fuselage are almost invincible, and getting out of the cockpit is only a star and a half stronger than ordinary people, if it weren't for the fully automatic early warning system arranged by DG, it would be too rebellious. In the previous battle, if the enemy insisted on decapitating the tactics, the Earth side might have suffered a major blow directly.
……
"In this way, the orcs have one more reason to exist."
Roger, who has often been dizzy due to his outrageous thinking lately, opened his mouth in the spiritual link quite casually, completely unaware that although he was bent on despising reality, he had unwittingly substituted himself into the group of Earth as usual.
So DG woke him up without hesitation, "Accepting rules that don't match your original intention is in itself the first step towards submission." ”
To be honest, even in the original plane books, in addition to the millions of people in addition to the Great Red Lotus Regiment—millions of humans, and there are also quite a few orcs—the population did not play much positive significance at all, but there was a negative buff that caused a decrease in spiral force due to depression. From the standpoint of normal reincarnation, these beings are not fundamentally different from numbers. As for these earth humans at the moment, Roger has not been in contact with much more than he has been in contact with, if he just wants to keep Kiha's old age, plus some acquaintances of the Savior team, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
Well, if it weren't for the accumulation of a lot of batches of drivers he taught later, maybe it would have been possible to break the jar?
Of course, it is precisely because DG secretly arranged this work for him, or that Roger has instinctively learned to "be a teacher" in the previous mission planes, so that he is used to taking care of or understanding the weak to the greatest extent without nagging about any righteousness.
No matter how fierce he complains, Roger, who has not accepted DG's infinite devouring proliferation or cloning mass production proposal from the beginning, his tendencies have actually been decided.
So the driver training that followed, as always, after the two aces gradually appeared in public at the same time due to personal problems, Roger was equivalent to returning to the post of front-line instructor.
In fact, driver training is nowhere near as important as it was at the beginning, after all, all qualified people have been repeatedly screened in previous years. In the absence of newcomers to add, even those earthlings who were younger than Roger at the beginning have now reached the age of enough to open a super robot, and the corresponding all-round physical examination has been done at least three or five times, and there is basically no situation where there is no pearl in the dark. So the people who are still coming to the beginner training course are basically people who are really talentless.
Not only is there no talent in piloting the fuselage, but I am afraid that even the operation of the warship is also incompetent. Otherwise, even if the latter is limited by conditions - the minimum specification of the current fleet on Earth is the starting point of the four heavenly kings - if the practical operation training courses cannot be widely opened, you can also learn a few simulation programs, right? After all, ordinary work on a battleship is much easier than first-line mecha fighting.
Although someone keeps saying "if you can't do it, just inject DG cells on these people", but in actual teaching, he is so patient that he is often invisible at regular Earth Leaders meetings. So after receiving a lot of descriptions such as "the commander-in-chief is really approachable", Roger was surprised to find that he didn't know where Pasaford and Tommy had been transferred.
Fortunately, there were various doppelgangers of DG, and it didn't take him a few seconds to receive the latest information about these two people.
Passafo is the most unaware of the situation, usually eating and sleeping, running around the streets with a little armadillo, and recently following the No. 1 ship to visit one of the final-level allies. In other words, even though she was questioned for more than ten minutes in the previous meeting, she never realized what was going on. Is this really dull, or is it a deliberate attempt to turn a blind eye? Roger, who usually boasts of a fairly low EQ, feels that there is a big problem in it, but it is not easy to use the mind to detect the clone in this kind of thing, so he can only continue to pretend to be confused.
Relatively speaking, Tommy's performance is really transparent-
At the same time as the Savior team "interrogated" him, the big-nosed lover knew that the "East Window Incident" had happened, so even if no one said that he was wrong during the entire interrogation, his back, which had been slightly rickety in the perennial mining process, was even more bent. Although I tried my best to be fluent in language when answering questions, there were still occasional stumbles in the details, and it was simply a standard unrequited love (secret love) template.
So even if the rest of the team doesn't understand what love is at all, they don't bother to pursue it when they see him like this. There was no need for any punishment at all, he was already punishing himself.
So strictly speaking, it was Tommy himself who applied to go to the jump point on the far side of the solar system to garrison, and the leadership had to approve his application after repeated attempts to retain him, and he also deliberately teleported the Templar Land he was used to as well, believing that as long as there was no Finals-level enemy sneak attack, it would not cause him much danger.
However, that garrison area or sentinel Roger has also been there, and in short, except for drivers above the elite level, no one is willing to stay there for a long time. Although not as numerous as the asteroid belt, there are too many open areas, which makes daily patrols quite difficult. You must know that the enemy who can pose a threat to the earth now, its fleet can almost reach the orbital area of the planet with a casual deployment, and if it patrols a specific area at a normal speed, how can it take nearly two hours to circle around, right?
This period of time may not be much for some people who are withdrawn or bring their own partners, but Tommy is a good guy with an extraordinarily introverted personality no matter how you look at it, and he just walks alone, who knows how long he can carry it in that ghost environment?
Isn't it just an ordinary relationship, you have to lose an ace driver, why bother?
In short, Roger personally went over to persuade him a few times, but the result was nothing, fortunately, he knew that it was useless for others to talk about this kind of thing, and the more he pressed, it might have the opposite effect, so he could only ignore Tommy for the time being.
As for whether to "enlighten" the Passafolk Sect first, Roger thought about it for a long time and still felt that he couldn't do this kind of thing, and would rather let DG go over and mess around.
As he had wondered before, if Passafolk wasn't really dull, but just pretending to be stupid, he would have been able to add another place to the Border Patrol if he had rushed over and put everything on the surface.
……
"So no matter how you think about it, the real solution to the problem is to defeat the anti-spiral clan first?"
"That's right, if you can find them."
"Isn't it okay to reverse search from the finals or even finals-level civilizations, or focus on the appearance of shameless cases?"
"If it was really that easy, how did you think the Spiral King in the original book failed?"
"But didn't you also say that the current anti-spiral tribe may not have built their isolated universe yet?"
"Purely from the data such as the cosmic temperature constants of the original plane (these are described in a way that you can understand, and you can't understand the formal explanation), the antispiral group should have only divided a special dimensional gap region now, and it has not really reached the level of recreating the universe, and to be honest, in this plane, theories such as conservation of mass and energy do not seem to be applicable in some aspects."
Well, Roger admits that he really didn't understand what DG was saying, and he didn't think he could have any positive experience with string theory or quantum mechanics at the civil level.
Well, the focus is on civil science, not the latter two keywords that are still relatively scientific.
To use an inappropriate analogy, like the inertial control device or the aether in the TOP plane, the theory that was absolutely wrong or impossible to implement in Roger's original plane exists in the mission plane so grandiosely, and seems to be working quite well consistently, which really doesn't make much sense.
It's the same in this universe now, the anti-spiral clan doesn't know how much it will consume just to monitor various spiral civilizations every day, not to mention what level they set the upper limit of the spiral force alarm at each level, just from the perspective of the spiral civilization that the earth has been in contact with in the past few years, if the anti-spiral clan wants to completely rule it, it is not a small number in terms of the consumption of military conquest.
So sometimes Roger feels that it is not the anti-spiral clan that deliberately breeds or captively raises the spiral clan, but in this universe, they can't compete with the evolutionary principles of the universe on their own. Unless......
Unless the Anti-Helix can really create a new universe that is purely theirs and has the same energy level as the original universe. And this kind of universe that can transcend the fate of the spiral or anti-spiral family, it is normal to be directly named supercoil.
"I always feel as if I've forgotten some key details." Someone who has repeated this phrase countless times, this time he still hasn't gotten rid of his old problem.
"You've forgotten so many things, I don't know which one you're referring to." Then the DG side also responded positively and mercilessly.
"Well, don't you think the situation is a little too calm now? Do we really have to take the initiative to find trouble with a finals-level spiral civilization in order to continue the following plot? ”
"I'm not against going if you want to, but are you sure there is still such a thing as a fantasy?"
"What do you mean......"
"Luda led the No. 1 ship on a visit this time, and the other party obviously asked us, which is normal. However, according to the information gathered before, our ally is an old-timer who has been raising the banner of resistance for more than half a century. ”
"Are you trying to say that the problems with these old fritters are generally quite tricky?"
"No, I want to remind you that in this plane, the lifespan of ordinary spirals is about the same as that of normal humans, and few civilizations have conducted research on life extension and other aspects."
"More directly?"
"Okay, do you think the second generation of the Great Red Lotus Regiment in the original book was born in a few years?"
