Chapter 47: There Are Planes
As a result, it was known that radio equipment should be vigorously promoted, and governments began to call on their citizens to develop their own equipment, especially for telecommunications equipment and small power generation equipment or for raw steel replacement parts for batteries. As well as protecting the existing photovoltaic power generation equipment and chemical power generation equipment, finding ways to replace the steel parts with other things, once anyone restores the use of a certain communication equipment, even if it is an antique radio station in the collection at home, must report to the government or send radio waves to the outside world.
Morse code began to become one of the knowledge that people rushed to learn.
Although countries have stockpiled a large number of synthetic foods, some synthetic foods that need to be refrigerated, such as meat, are slowly rotting due to the power failure.
Therefore, the agricultural production plans of each country also need to be reformulated, and there are no mechanized agricultural tools, and copper hoes, aluminum hoes and even ceramic hoes can be used, and at the same time, countries should severely crack down on speculation on grain and non-staple foods, traditional fuels and other materials to prevent famine.
Things don't seem so bad, people have other non-steel tools, and more importantly, there is scientific knowledge that is more developed than thousands of years ago, preserved in the minds of all mankind, as well as in some traditional books.
It is believed that it will soon be possible to make guns and other weapons that do not contain steel, as well as recreate parts for industrial, transportation, and communication vehicles that do not contain steel.
Although all the smelters are finished, it is difficult for scientists, engineers and even front-line industrial workers from all over the world to master advanced scientific knowledge.
Through a small number of traditional antiques that do not contain steel, or astronomical telescopes made of pure plastic and glass, many people have also found that the satellites and space stations in the sky seem to be unaffected by steel bacteria and are still orbiting the earth, so the bases on the moon should still be safe.
It's just that in terms of supplies, can the people of heaven wait for the people of the earth to develop a new launch vehicle that does not contain a single gram of steel again.
So for now, it seems, all people need is time.
On 6 January, people had recovered from the initial shock and the security situation did not seem so bad.
Because people found that ordinary rebels and rioters did not have modern communication tools and thermal weapons in their hands, and the government military and police relied on the superiority in numbers, while the rebels did not have time to find an antique radio station to repair or build a radio station, after implementing the primitive method of information transmission, the rebels and rioters quickly launched the tactics of dividing, encircling and annihilating them, coupled with the huge disparity in numbers, they could destroy each other by hand-to-hand combat alone, so the vast majority of the rebels and rioters around the world were basically wiped out within a few days.
In the square in front of the ruins of the United Nations building, rows of wooden huts have been erected, and although there are no nails, some traditional carpentry enthusiasts have taught the builders how to build wooden houses without nails, which is called mortise and tenon construction.
As for tools such as knives, although steel was still the main force before this, some high-end brands or special industries will still have some tools made of non-steel, such as nano ceramics, carbon brazing or titanium alloys without iron.
Of course, there are also some pure ceramic firearms, that is, even the barrel is a nano-ceramic gun, which has long existed, but because the ceramic barrel shooting life is not long, it is very niche, and it was originally only used for scientific research, and the stock is not large. In addition, there are titanium alloy guns, engineering resin guns, and other guns made of special metals, which are not widely available because of various problems such as cost, maintenance, and lifespan.
Therefore, the guns made of the above-mentioned special materials were not popular in the past, and some of them even became chicken ribs after they were made, and they were put in the exhibition hall or small black room. But now, only individual bodyguards of the head of government or dignitaries of special departments have the right to appoint them.
José and U.S. Vice President Steyr, in a small room at the new United Nations headquarters, looked together at a yellowed paper map of the world hanging on the wall.
José touched his fat lower lip with one hand and said, "Mr. Vice President, I know that you are very busy right now, but I have to invite you to come in person, and on behalf of His Excellency President Eden, you will discuss with me the convening of a new round of the United Nations General Assembly. ”
Previously, José made an appointment with the President of the United States himself, but was refused.
Steyr said: "You are obviously a strong man. Seeing José's displeased look, he stretched out his hand and dotted somewhere on the map, and continued: "I don't mean to offend you by saying this, now that countries are vigorously maintaining domestic stability, who has time to send someone to the meeting. Now that everyone has come to their senses, we have found that chemical power generation methods such as photovoltaic power plants and fuel cells have not been affected, and the replacement of steel parts in radio stations has also begun to become popular, and it would be good for us to maintain basic radio communication with other countries. With that time and manpower, it is estimated that substitutes for the original steel parts of new vehicles have also been researched and manufactured. ”
José shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about a meeting of leaders, I'm talking about convening a meeting of the representatives of the countries now in New York to discuss the next steps in the response, and then send the new resolution to the countries in the form of telegrams and wired telephones." ”
Steyr said, "Then you can just tell me what to do." ”
José said: "You are the host, I did not consult with you, I gave notice of the meeting without authorization, what do you think. At the same time, the venue also needs the help of the U.S. government. ”
Steyr said: "Let me be very realistic, now that all countries are protecting themselves, the role of the United Nations has been completely weakened. Every country has its own smart people, and they don't need to be told what to do next. The purpose of the existence of the United Nations is to maintain world peace, and now, which countries will fight each other when they are full of food and have nothing to do? It would be good to be able to let the people of our country not starve to death, not to fight infighting, and to live well. ”
Jose Tie blushed, and was about to have a seizure, when a jet engine emitted a "Woooooooooo Sound.
Steyr and Jose looked at each other and said, "Did I hear me right?" "What the hell?"
After rushing out of the cabin, Jose and Steyr saw a V99 vertical take-off and landing transport plane designed and manufactured by Boeing for the U.S. military but painted military green slowly landing on a lawn not far away.
