"What's that? Did I hear me right? North American Section D Established? ”

Chen Nian looked at Li Xiang in amazement and asked in disbelief.

On the other side, Li Xiang looked helpless, and while putting away the report that Chen Nian had already read, he replied:

"Anyway, it kind of means that -—— program has been made public."

"Opposing private ownership of land, destroying large capital groups, and demanding equal decision-making power, in a sense, they do have the characteristics of a part of the branch."

"But to say that they raised the red flag is a bit of an exaggeration."

"In fact, the way they are thinking is still the ranger-style thinking of Lao Mei in the era of the Westward Expansion Movement, but the 'sheriff' they are fighting against now has changed the gun in his hand from a revolver to a Poplar missile."

"In other words, even if they do succeed and really get rid of the current sheriff, the badge will still go to the next sheriff."

"As long as the foundation is not moving, the problem cannot be solved."

"Didn't they demand public ownership of the land?"

Chen Nian asked suspiciously.

Looking at the information on the report, the first thing Yellowstone Farm did after the "Juyi" was to tear down the fence on the edge of the farm and make a statement that "the ranch is shared".

It should be said that this action is intended to be radical both in terms of symbolism and practicality.

Isn't that the foundation moved?

Looking at his expression, Li Xiang shook his head and replied:

"The concept of personal private property is unbreakable in Lao Mei's heart, so their actions are not really to say 'public ownership', but 'joint shares'."

"In their opinion, the only effective way to fight against the group is the larger group-—— isn't this thing just going down the old path of the United States again."

"Indeed."

Chen Nian understood the logic of the "uprising" at Huangshi Farm.

They are trying to unite the scattered middle and lower classes of society with a common idea and goal, and merge them into some new form of "mega-organization", so as to gain the power to oppose the capitalist group and even the federal government.

It has to be said that such an idea is feasible to a certain extent.

Especially under the special national conditions of the United States, it is even more convincing than directly waving the red flag.

But in the final analysis, what it is still pursuing is only "power change" within the existing social framework, not to break the "empowerment" system.

So, it can't really solve the problem

Thinking of this, Chen Nian shook his head slightly and continued:

"It's another senseless mess."

"If this continues, the North American gunfight suits are really going to be opened - you say, is it possible for them to fight a new civil war in the modern sense?"

"Unlikely."

Li Xiang replied:

"Prolonged unrest was inevitable, but the opposing sides did not have a natural conflict of interests, as they did in the Civil War."

"It is very likely that while fighting, both sides will find that they have entered a state of you and me, and I have you."

"At that time, who will be able to fight?"

Hearing his words, Chen Nian thought so.

It is true that at the time of the Civil War, there was at least a low-level contradiction between the plantation agricultural economy and the capitalist industrial economy, but now, is there any fundamental contradiction between the organization headed by Yellowstone Farms, which they themselves call the "New Union of North America", the state government and the big capital group?

Not really.

It's just a matter of competing for the order of distribution of benefits.

"This is our chance."

"The Yellowstone Farms manifesto is a signal that the internal situation in the United States is beginning to move from superficial chaos to underlying disorder."

"In the process, there will be a huge reshuffle, and we can take the opportunity to get everything we can get our hands on."

"We're already doing that."

Li Xiang replied:

"There are already several white gloves looking for opportunities in the United States, the most typical of which is R&F Properties' 555Fulton, and it can be said that they have contributed to the development of the situation in Yellowstone to this extent."

"Even the formation of this new alliance in North America is the result of our promotion."

"In short, a new battlefield has been opened."

"Offense and defense are easy to shape, and in the coming period, we are likely to exert pressure through various means to completely cut off all hope for them."

As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Yes, unconsciously, the offensive and defensive situation has been completely reversed.

Although in terms of military strength, everyone still does not have the ability to "unilaterally destroy", but in terms of comprehensive strength and deterrence, China has surpassed it.

This can be seen from the changes in public opinion on the Internet.

Years ago, the most selling topic was the "collapse theory".

The United States in the next life of this life and the Runren of the previous life are all supporters of this topic.

——

But compared to the long-term tug-of-war and strife in the previous life, in this life, this stage lasts for a short time.

In just a few years, after the global economic crisis, the collapse theory has become a threat theory, and the most conspicuous terms are no longer "backwardness" and "suffering", but "authoritarianism", "freedom" and "individual value".

At that stage, the core of the media attack is no longer the economic level and future development potential, because they all already know that the potential of China is immeasurable.

So, they have to throw that classic question.

"Is it all worth it?"

And the answer was soon revealed, and it was worth it.

By now, the central theory has once again replaced the threat theory, and sociologists have obediently avoided the "system dispute" that they had hyped up before, and instead argued the "natural law" of global integration development from multiple angles, trying to persuade the public to accept the argument that "China-centered technological development can achieve the greatest benefits".

And this undoubtedly shows their attitude.

"So you're ready to start harvesting? Where do you start? ”

Chen Nian asked.

"Middle East, Commonwealth of Arab States."

"The Lasraquera metal-hydrogen plant has been inaugurated, the first products are about to be launched and the fusion unit has already begun to be assembled. It's time for this industrial complex to start doing something. ”

"Just take advantage of the Chang'e-3 tuyere to pull up the prestige of the Arab Commonwealth."

Qatar, Ras Laqueira Integrated Base.

Jomai has been here for more than four months, and under the full responsibility of her and several other researchers, the factory has been rising in the desert at an extraordinary rate.

Just two hours ago, she completed the last inspection of the hydraulic system, which means that the plant is officially capable of safe production.

As soon as the final pipeline tests are completed and the gas valve is opened, a steady stream of metallic hydrogen is produced on the plant's production line.

The metallic hydrogen will be encapsulated into containers and transported back to China one by one.

Whether they will be used as rocket fuel or industrial manufacturing, Qiao Mai doesn't really need to know, but in fact, she is as concerned about it as everyone else.

Because what she knows is that what this factory makes is a real "future".

It was a strange feeling, and unlike the big, empty things, she could experience the process that her superiors called "molting".

Each piece of metallic hydrogen is a new scale, and you can watch as it is attached to an inch of the dragon's body, making the otherwise dull scales shine.

Today is a piece of nail on the dragon's claws, tomorrow is an inch of light on the dragon's whiskers, and then slowly extends to the dragon's head and extends to the whole body.

No one can resist the temptation, right?

Therefore, finding out the latest shipping plans and order sources has become a special pleasure for these researchers with high confidentiality permissions.

So is a batch of materials sure to be stored in a liquid state? Is this going to be used in rocket engines? ”

In the office, a colleague named Bong Hui asked curiously.

In the office, a colleague named Bong Hui asked curiously.

Qiao Mai spread his hands and replied:

"I don't know, it's possible."

"Didn't Chang'e-3 just send a message that it would use liquid metal hydrogen to improve the original methane + hydrogen fuel?"

"But I'm not sure, I don't know much about this part, rocket fuel is too complicated, if you pursue stability, it is not so safe to use metallic hydrogen"

"You didn't graduate from Western University of Technology, why don't you know this?"

Hearing this, Qiao Mai couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Indeed, in the past few years, Xi'an University of Technology has almost become a "Huaxia Aerospace Talent Reserve Base", and the most impressive points of the outside world are almost all related to aerospace.

So it's not surprising that Bong asks such a stupid-sounding question-—— he's just trying to play a joke.

"I didn't study this, I really think that after graduating from Xi'an University of Technology, I understand aerospace?"

"Is it close to Zhu Zhechi, hehe."

Bong Hui smiled, put away his mocking tone, and after a moment of thought, continued:

"However, the significance of this matter is still quite large, and the domestic metal hydrogen plants have been in operation for more than a month, and theoretically speaking, if raw materials are needed, it is the best choice to extract them from China."

"But the above is going to release words, pointing to us here, pointing to Laslaqueira, pointing to the drunkard in Qatar who doesn't mean to drink."

Qiao Mai nodded slightly, and answered:

"This intention is obvious, and it intends to tie up the Arab Commonwealth and China to death through the space project."

"Once it is implemented, the top aerospace technology order of all countries will be impacted, and the United States' current greatest technological advantage will also be shaken."

"Yangmou, Gao!"

Qiao Mai gave an exaggerated thumbs up, and Feng Hui also nodded, and at this moment, both of them couldn't help but feel a little proud in their hearts.

After all, it is not so easy to make the choice of "going to the Middle East".

If it weren't for the sake of making a contribution, who would want to come to such a place?

But I didn't expect that I was just here for the metal hydrogen plant at the beginning, and now I can still have something to do with the lunar exploration project, and I have won the resume lottery.

Technology is really a whole, and in the most advanced field, no link is isolated.

"After the first batch of goods is shipped and the road is running steadily, it's almost time for us to return home, right?"

Feng Hui's eyes were a little expectant, he was still homesick after being away from the domestic environment for too long.

"You can go back, I might have to stay here for a while."

"After all, I am engaged in hydraulics, and these equipment are not tested once and for all after a day, but must be monitored and maintained for a period of time."

"It's not like you, it's a one-shot deal"

"Who told you not to learn electrification in the first place?"

Bong Hui said proudly.

He cooperates closely with Qiao Mai, and the two get along more easily, and some jokes have no scruples.

"Heh, electrification, I just didn't major in electrification, don't forget, my direction is."

Qiao Mai was about to say the term "mechatronics", but suddenly, their mobile phones rang at the same time.

Immediately afterward, the alarm bell inside the base went viral, and the red light overhead, indicating the emergency, began to flash wildly.

At this moment, the two glanced at each other, and then without hesitation for a second, they rushed to the door almost at the same time.

Their goal is the project command room.

Alarm bells, red lights. In this case, either a major accident has occurred in the factory area, or there is a major hidden danger that may seriously affect the progress of the project.

And they, as technicians, must be the first to be there.

By the time they arrived at the command room, there had already gathered a group of other staff members who had arrived first, and Qiao Mai glanced at it, and found the military personnel at the base of Lasrackela in the center of the crowd.

They stand in front of a large screen showing a map of the gas pipeline around the Ras Laqueira Industrial Zone.

The circuit map has been marked with shocking red dots, and needless to say, those are fault breakpoints.

The latest information has not yet been obtained, but according to reports from the Qatari side, explosions have occurred in many places around the line.

"It can be judged that this was a man-made attack on the base, and it was a fruitful attack."

"Almost all the key nodes of the entire gas pipeline have been destroyed, and the other side has used high-yield high explosives, and the flames of the explosion can be seen from a kilometer away."

"We have asked the Qatari side to immediately send armed forces to guard against a second attack."

"But the most critical issue now is how to restore the smooth flow of the pipeline."

"That's a question you need to answer."

It was the commander of the military garrison who spoke, his brow furrowed, and it was clear that even they were unprepared for this attack.

"Fix. It is not difficult to repair theoretically, this pipeline is modular construction, and only the part that was blown up needs to be replaced. ”

"But what we're concerned about now is the safety of the remediation process."

"This is an attack, not an accident, and if technicians are sent, how can we guarantee that they will not be attacked?"

"You know, their value is much greater than a pipeline, a shipload of metallic hydrogen, and who can guarantee that the enemy didn't deliberately lure them out in this way and then strike them with precision?"

Hearing the words of the project leader present, the commander nodded slightly, and then said:

"We really can't guarantee that-—— of course, if it needs to be fixed, we will send personnel to ensure safety."

"But to be on the safe side, our advice is to send as few people as possible to the scene to command."

"In this way, even if there is a problem, the damage can be minimized."

"Or a technician remotely commanding it?"

The person in charge asked.

"Can you do it? If you can command it remotely, that's the best. ”

"You can try, but the level of technical personnel on the Qatari side"

"I can't do it."

Qiao Mai interrupted the conversation between the two.

"We've tried to build completely local before, but the level of local people in Qatar is so subpar that if no one is on site, what they come up with is a complete mess."

"Somebody has to be there, and it has to be the kind that knows a little bit about everything."

"I can go."

Everyone's eyes converged on her, and the commander hesitated for a moment and looked at the person in charge on the side.

And after thinking about it for a few seconds, the person in charge nodded similarly.

"Then let this lesbian go, assess the damage first, and then make a plan."

"Don't worry, we're just talking about the worst-case scenario."

"Our car is going out, if anyone doesn't have long eyes to come up. The house was cleaned up for him. ”
