Chapter 216: The History of Ceylon's Aerospace Development
About 100 years ago, the first steam engine was built on the planet Ceylon, which coincided with the second reversal of the 'vortex of the world' and the gradual transition of history from ancient times to modern times.
Different from the sluggish earth, after the appearance of the steam engine, it was valued by the monarchs of major countries for the first time, and in just ten years, the steam storm swept through Middle-earth, and the original steam engine underwent several transformations, and the entire planet entered the industrial civilization.
The steam civilization of the planet Ceylon has been able to develop so rapidly because of the reversal of the vortex of the world. Before the Maelstrom reversed, the planet's elemental power was in an extremely low state, which could be seen as the end of the era.
At that time, the ancient gods or fell, or slumbered, or trapped in the realm of the gods, unable to affect the current world; the demons in the deep mountains and old forests were also in a weak state like the gods, and they acted in a low-key state of self-preservation, and rarely made a public effort to cause trouble in all directions, and took the initiative to die; although the capable ones were countless times stronger than mortals, their numbers were not many, and although their status was very high, they could not guide the general trend; as for the ancient races such as elves and dwarves, they were also ordinary and ordinary like human beings, and there were very few capable people. At that time, it was the era when the human kingdom dominated Yiqiē.
When the vortex of the world began to reverse, the energy elements slowly increased, the old gods awakened, new gods were born, and other races regained their ancient powers, the number of demons in the mountains and forests skyrocketed, and the ability to disobey discipline increased, and the position of the mortal dynasty was in jeopardy. There is only one way to bridge the gap between you and otherworldly beings, and that is to master the power of 'science'.
In order to assert their position, mortals began to involve science. Starting with the steam engine, gunpowder bombs, guns and missiles were invented one after another. After that, there was the counterattack era when mortals shot those who had the ability to shoot and the army bombarded magicians.
It's a pity that the good times don't last long, and the technology that mortals can master, can't those who have ability? No one is a fool, and those with benign mutations in brain cells are smarter than ordinary people. Despite their abilities, they never mind arming themselves with more advanced equipment.
So, magic guns, magic artillery. Something more violent and murderous, such as a magic airship. Sent out by those who have been opened.
When humans created a steam mecha and rebelled against extraordinary creatures again, the magic mecha was born!
Subsequently, the situation on the mainland changed several times. From the agricultural civilization to the industrial age. Then the old empire fell. The republic, the federation took its place. The mainland has entered a new era of equality for all, and the capable have relied on technology to kick out the emperor and climb to the top.
Afterwards. Various scientific systems such as physical alchemy, chemical alchemy, necromancy and biology have been improved one after another. Whatever the earth should be, this world has appeared. However, due to the influence of ancient magical civilizations, Ceylon's technology tree has obviously been distorted, and the physical, chemical and biological collectives have changed in the direction of black technology.
This twisted technology tree, nourished by the super golden gold brewed by the 10,000-year-old magical civilization, is growing wildly with the momentum of the flooding of the Yellow River.
About 30 years ago, the first rudimentary rocket in history flew into space with a broken magic satellite, and mankind entered the space age! A new era in which people could fly into space without climbing mountains.
Due to the difference in civilization, Ceylon's satellites are very different from the earth's satellites, and the most important point is that wood has an electronic communication system and a wooden computer. Those iron bumps that fly into the sky cannot monitor the ground, nor can they make satellite communications. Although the 'starlight' of the observation tower can transmit information all over the world, there is no magical computer in this world! Although the biological brain has the performance of a computer and can interpret the information in the starlight, the high-end gadget of the biological brain is obviously not popular, it is a rare item, and only the big forces can have it.
A certain comic in the 'Ring of Zero' once proposed an abandonment plan: to popularize low-level biological brains on a large scale, so that every family can have a 'small brain soaked in a fish tank'! When every household has a 'brain', then install a 'medium brain soaked in a fish tank' in the community, install a 'giant brain soaked in a container' in each urban area, and then each city is equipped with a 'super brain soaked in the water cube', and finally the whole country, the whole continent, and the whole world are networked to create a comparable ' 'Star Network', which is able to surround the 'biological brainwave network' inside the planet. Let the disgusting brain fill every corner of the cloth world!
Not to mention the huge cost of this plan, just thinking that every cute little pot friend in elementary school has to hold a bottle of infiltrating active brain, and connect the tentacle-like biological tissue with his own nervous system, and enter the virtual classroom to learn knowledge, which can make those mortal parents get goosebumps. What a horrible picture of a ghost animal? So, the plan deservedly failed.
Once upon a time, he firmly believed that the profession of necromancer was promising, and that he could make a fortune just by digging out his brains and making and selling fake 'bottled brains'. If you pack it in an amethyst bottle, you can definitely sell it for a lot of money, and then you can easily become a multi-millionaire! He has thought of all the advertising words: "I won't receive gifts for the holidays this year! I won't accept gifts, I won't receive gifts! I will only receive 'brain crystals' for gifts!"
Having said all this, I just want to prove that the cultures of the two worlds are different, and the development routes are naturally different. Because electricity is not developed, there are no computers and networks in Ceylon, and satellites in the sky have become dispensable. However, the human beings at that time did not know this, they only thought that it was a bunker to be able to throw things into space!
Scientific research has never been directionless, and it takes countless wrong attempts to find a right path. Therefore, on the way to finding the right direction, there will always be all sorts of strange inventions.
Back then, after the birth of the first satellite, scientists from all over the world were boiling! In ancient times, the starry sky was out of reach, and everyone used a dream of soaring. It's a pity that the reality is extremely cruel, and it is difficult for both mortals and those with the ability to fly to break through the atmosphere and enter space. And the only spiral mountain that has access to space has always been controlled by the observation tower, and it is listed as a forbidden area, and only a few people are eligible to touch it.
Throughout history, observation towers have been so bulldooky. And no one knows what is in space? Everyone thinks that the observation tower must be a good thing from outside the sky. In order to maintain an advantage, it does not let us touch.
When rockets appeared, major organizations and countries began to study satellites in an attempt to gain some benefits from space. Thus, the vigorous era of space has begun, which belongs to various forces. Satellites of various models and functions. Constantly being launched into space.
What did they get out of it? No one knows. But everybody is doing this, and there's no reason why I shouldn't keep up! In such an environment, the observation tower keeps dropping satellites from the top of the mountain into space.
According to statistics, until ten years ago. Satellites launched from mainland Ceylon. Plus the observation tower was thrown from the top of the mountain. There are more than 170 units in total!
This madness continued until ten years ago, when people finally found out. Space is too big, satellites are too small, there are too many unexpected factors, our technology is too backward, we spend so much money, and we don't get the expected return.
The world is so big, why should we lock our eyes on the dead silence of space, even the dead underworld can develop a second property after death. As a result, under the hype of the black-hearted consortium, a new round of 'underworld real estate fever' began! The rich have bought villas in the underworld for themselves after death, and the poor also want to buy an apartment.
'One step ahead, one step ahead, be a ghost, start by buying a house!' This is a real estate advertisement launched by Zhongyu Hades. It's a pity that the Northern Underworld is in turmoil and didn't grasp this business opportunity.
In this way, everyone's enthusiasm for space slowly cooled down. As for those space junk, keep floating, and when you are in a good mood, you can do two more projects and try to see if you can make a fortune?
While other forces diverted their attention from space, the Observation Tower did not. Since ancient times, the observatory has lived on the top of the spiral mountain, and knows more about the starry sky than anyone else. Nowadays, with the advancement of science and the development of satellites, they have too many ideas about it, there are countless realities to be carried out, and there are countless unknowns to explore.
However, the near-Earth star orbit is full of iron gadgets of major companies, major forces, and major countries, and Yan zhòng obstructs the traffic arteries, and the observation tower is embarrassed to bombard these satellites with magic cannons, after all, their camp is absolutely neutral and cannot take the initiative to provoke a battle. So, what to do?
Today, there are more than 50 satellites in the observation tower, and the remaining 150 or so belong to the major forces. A small number of these more than 150 satellites are still in operation, such as biological companies such as Zero Ring, which are engaged in space breeding and space vegetable cultivation; large companies such as the Original Sin Group and Super Pressure are also implementing their own space weapons in space; and many gods and spirits have also burned some money to build satellites to make them fashionable, and from time to time they have launched their own 'alloy autobiographies' into outer space. But most of the satellites, some of which are undergoing occasional maintenance, most of which are dormant, and many of which are abandoned.
This situation is seen in the eyes of the observation tower, and it hurts in the heart. As a result, the Continental Space Administration was established! All forces and individuals with satellites were invited in. The purpose of this organization is: 'Make the most of the satellite resources, and everyone can make money together!'
For the first half of the sentence, no one caught a cold. However, the second half of the sentence was unanimously agreed! After several years of discussion, the 'Skynet Project' was finally established!
The observation tower is centered on the headquarters of the spiral peak, and at the same time acts as a space station, docking with major satellites, replenishing materials, and reducing unnecessary consumption to the greatest extent. At the same time, the operation trajectory of 200 satellites will be newly allocated to establish a brand-new, conflict-free operation system and make perfect use of all satellite resources. And there are plans to carry out a series of practical projects, mainly to make a fortune, supplemented by scientific research.
Before this plan was established, the satellites of any force had to return to the ground, and after replacing and replenishing the equipment, they would be shot out again, which would consume a lot of money. After the establishment of the Tianwang plan, the satellite will no longer have to return to the ground, but will fly directly to Spiral Mountain, easily replenish supplies, and return to orbit again.
With the addition of observation towers, those dormant satellites, abandoned satellites, will also be revitalized again. This is just the most basic, Skynet plans to cooperate with many large-scale projects that are 'jointly developed by multiple forces'. This kind of complex project, in the past, was not possible, after all, each organization has its own field, and it is difficult for everyone to get together.
But now it's different! Everyone has money to make together, all kinds of unimaginable big plans have been listed, many parties have worked together, technology is shared, and one impossible task after another has finally been solved and executed. (To be continued......)
PS: Tomorrow I will introduce two earth-shattering big projects, so that everyone can see them! These are two extremely heart-wrenching comic plans! One for the whole people, the other for the rich, are you curious?
Thank you tiyagoke, Huang Jingtao, Fat Man, inexplicable × 2 monthly passes, and lazy Ying Long's tips, well, ask for another recommendation ticket.
