Chapter 64 Chapter 2.21 Command and Conquer

In the year of Qin Tongli 2202, the entire Western Economic Union formed a prototype of an industrial cycle in the Western Regions.A foundation is being born that will make society work for tens of millions,

In the past, the vast west could not develop because some core elements were lacking.However, large infrastructure can integrate it.

The plateau environment is fragile. Although it is not short of water, it is the upstream of all water sources in China.Heavy industries such as ore washing and coking, which may generate three wastes, must not be developed.However, the local energy reserves are quite abundant.

It is also a thermal boiler that never goes out. Compared with nuclear energy, hot dry rock is safer and pollution-free.The difficulty in restricting its development is that the investment in preliminary geological survey is too high, and the water consumption is large. At the same time, it also needs to do a lot of power storage infrastructure.

According to the detailed geological data on the roof of the world by the main world, Wei Keng gave guidance (opening and hanging), and the [-] hot and dry wells drilled by the West Economic Union have burst out abundant energy, and the entire plateau area has become an energy exporter. .

In the Western Regions, in addition to the characteristics of solar energy and abundant minerals, the focus of WEI planning is agriculture.

[It is impossible for Wei Keng, as a person who lived once in the 27th century, to be superstitious about such a large-scale Russian-style reckless project with too many uncontrollable elements.Natural river water contains soluble salt.The amount of evaporation in the Western Regions is still greater than the amount of precipitation. Extensive irrigation for several years will only dry out the land, resulting in a saline-alkali land where poplar trees cannot grow. 】

According to the data of the main world, the way out for agriculture in the Western Regions is the comprehensive utilization of water sources.

All crops are grown in metal plastic greenhouses.The technology enables the use of drip irrigation and precisely controlled planting techniques to reduce water evaporation.

During the day, the water vapor produced by a large amount of transpiration in plant photosynthesis is directly introduced into the area with lower underground temperature through air exchange, and condensed in the condensation box through the cooling of groundwater to ensure constant humidity in the greenhouse. In the evening, when there is no photosynthesis and the temperature is low, is proper ventilation.

Such agricultural inputs may seem large, but as industrial productivity increases, the cost of non-high-tech products such as glass, steel frames, and thermometers will gradually decrease to the point where they are not so outrageous.

At least Wei Keng has seen many garden flowers in rich houses, and this is how they are cultivated.Mr. Wei is not interested in flowers, but when it comes to farming, it is like "a starving ghost sees grain, hoards and wants to store canned food".

As for the industry in the original Guanzhong area of ​​the Luoshui Group!The disadvantage is that the site is too small, far from the sea line of communication, lack of raw materials, and lack of market for industrial product sales.

In the past, the transportation of Luoshui had to go through railways, so it could only be attached to the Northern Plains Economic Zone of Shenzhou.Now, with the continuous investment of manpower and capital on the plateau and the Western Regions for three years by tightening the belt, the Guanzhong Economic Zone has begun to gradually get rid of its original dependence.

Now in the management system of WEI: agricultural products and light industry products are becoming self-sufficient, especially the cotton textile industry has become a leading product.

Although heavy industrial products depend on imports, Luoshui Group has core technologies in projects such as heavy trucks and high-performance batteries. It still maintains self-made technical requirements for the imported heavy industrial products, and does not form fatal dependence. There is also the electronics industry, which has brought the deficit back.

The most important thing is that the Western Economic Union has just passed the battle of Talas, and it has not lost!There can be no more wars outside the North Great Wall in the short term.

With security in place, it is now possible to devote full energy to basic economic development.It's not like the East is caught in a fierce high-tech competition!

In the shipyard of the Union of Shanghai and Suzhou, the price of a new cutting-edge battleship with an all-electric system is easily 400 billion.

The entire eastern part of China's navy chiefs kept asking for military expenses, clamoring to maintain [-] "Xuanming" class battleships with laser anti-missile capabilities to replace the "Prince Wumiao" class that had fallen behind a generation.

As for Shenjing, it is clenching its teeth and developing a cutting-edge air force. It needs to match the first-class air force of the European Allied Forces, upgrade the new generation of Suzaku, Phoenix fighters, and Qinglong floating ships. The funds behind any of these projects, It is enough for Western Economic Federation to transform thousands of hectares of farmland greenhouses in the Western Regions (one hectare, 500 million funds, [-] hectares is [-] million yuan)

After the industrial age, the main world also encountered this problem during the first, second, and war.

The Versailles Peace Conference, after the victory was achieved, the British found that their standard of living was inferior to that of the Germans.Hehe, the British don't think about how terrifying their battleship clusters all over the oceans were at that time.

As for the second time, the economic situation of Germany and Japan was once better than that of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, because these two countries were restricted from development and did not need to compete in nuclear energy, aerospace, aviation and capital ship technology, and focused on themselves. Good at machinery, chemical industry, semiconductor fields.

Of course, it is necessary for superpowers to compete in the cutting-edge field. After the hairy bear was eliminated, the bald eagle turned around and cut off the leeks of his followers.And the rabbit who keeps up with the high-tech field, the bald eagle has more scruples when wielding the harvester.

However, it is also very important to recognize one's own strength. At the same time, the biggest negative teaching material is the white elephant. As a regional power, it is necessary to consolidate the security of the region first.However, after the second millennium, when many problems in its internal governance system have not been resolved, the economic structure has not even laid the most basic foundation. Compete and expand global reach.As a result, the rush to launch is to replace all kinds of external technologies, and it is in full swing, just like the Westernization Movement of the last century. As a result, the world fluctuates and everything stagnates.

Wei Keng is now very at ease.The posture of the middle man, there is not so much fantasies.

After serving as the chief soldier in the Shenzhou Plateau region, the number of tanks did not increase in the first few years, and all the wheeled armored vehicles.

Air power, only updated drones, did not compete with other war zones for cutting-edge fighters.

As for the distribution of military equipment at the annual military meeting, Wei Keng is the cheapest second-hand one, and he wants that one.Anyway, no one hit him on the plateau, and the military expenditure was reduced to a quarter of the other land soldiers.As for the navy chiefs in the east, Wei Keng was even more incomparable.

……

Of course, Wei Keng put down his unrealistic pursuits, not because he was not motivated by the outside world.Some can be done, but what should be done must be done honestly.

In August, in order to commemorate the third anniversary of the Battle of Talos, whether it was a show or Xiangzhuang dancing a sword, on the plateau, Wei Keng came to a series of exercises.

In the multiple channels of Kunlun Mountain, trains are mobilized in the caves.The missile vehicle then maneuvered along the road system to various road sections.

With an order, three missiles took off at three launch positions at different times, and then made tactical maneuvers according to different ballistic trajectories. Finally, they crossed [-] kilometers and arrived at the designated shooting range in the Mobei area at the same time. .

The exercise was very successful. In the final report submitted, there was such a boast: "Condescending, it can provide tactical support for the surrounding military areas."

Wei Keng: "I am not idle on the plateau."

Shenjing seems to be a procedural reward.

But in Wei Keng's real calculation, the three caves of the cunning rabbit and the third cave were completed.

[The third cave in the allusion to the Three Grottoes of the Cunning Rabbit is to distribute Qi's ancestor-sacrificing utensils to Xueyi, the fief of Lord Mengchang, and with the artifact sitting in his own fief, Qi has to send troops to protect it, so there is no need to worry about other calculations. 】

……

As for what will happen in the next timeline of this plane?The novice task planned by the Time and Space Administration for Wei Keng was not arranged.

On August 8th, just after Wei Keng finished the plateau exercise, the declassified information on the plane of the Time and Space Administration had just been released, and after seeing this information, Master Wei frowned.

The Prince Rising Sun who changed the history of this timeline is back.It's just that after he comes back, there will be mutations in the entire time-space fusion process.

In this stable space-time, there will be a complex space-time reflection, and there will be major application changes in the super-space-time technology of all countries in the world.

Just as two mirrors can appear innumerable mirror-in-mirrors.

In the space-time rift technology, after projecting large weapons into it, injecting enough energy and metal minerals, the weapons and equipment in the reflection can be easily taken out.

Of course, the more you want to project in the space-time crack, the more energy you consume.The most economical post-projection claim will be around twenty times.The projected product, after error correction, can continue to be projected as a master!
And what will this mean? ——The above-mentioned expensive large-scale military weapons will be able to be built exponentially.The only consumption is minerals and energy.

Wei Keng clicked on the information Ke Feijia had left for himself.

It turns out that this dude's research and development purpose for the two space laboratories of Hetu and Luoshu is not just for super power.

In fact, Wei Keng himself was careless. At that time, Ke Feijia left a lot of complex concepts such as time and space reflection in his report.And Wei Keng, because these physical concepts are different from the main world, they only apply here, and he feels that it is useless to learn them.completely ignored.

And now!Once physicists around the world discovered the phenomenon of space-time mirrors.

This technology will soon be practical and put into various military factories. The operator only needs to compare the master plate and continuously correct it in the process of forming the metal structure in the space-time crack.

The manufacturing threshold of those industrial products that have been perfected will be greatly reduced. As long as the energy system and resource extraction and transportation system are stable, they can support the frontier combat forces.

The base car system will appear.

Wei Keng hurriedly opened up the information of various forces in the world in this regard:
The Soviet Russia's "Little Basil" base car in Siberia, because its architectural structure is very similar to St. Basil's Cathedral, was originally just to stimulate the economy and build prefab houses, but as long as the processing system of this crack projection is installed, it can automatically Use local minerals to manufacture weapons and vehicles.

The base vehicles specially developed by the Allies for overseas supplies, their space printing technology has better projection progress, and there is no need to prepare lathes for additional grinding in some places with high precision requirements, like the Soviet-Russian base vehicles.

As for the rising sun, the original interferers in the history here are them, and their nano-calibration technology can even allow armor, even large ships and floating fortresses to be included in this projection system.

Wei Keng sighed and complained to Ke Feijia, who was no longer in this timeline: "No wonder, I feel that what I do is playing a home in your eyes. The world is so crazy. In fact, no matter what Building, in decades of conflict, the powers here will only be talking with artillery and energy bombs."

Wei Keng also understood why the system only sent the information of this plane to himself now.
That's because I was just a novice originally. According to the original plan, I should go back in this world until Qin Tongli 2202. In order not to interfere, the time is divided into the deployment of combat time and space, so whether it is Wei Qiang or Ke Feijia, according to the space-time mission regulations, kept Wei Keng a secret.

However, now, Wei Keng has set up a mission on this plane alone.

And with the end of the plane war, Wei Keng was classified as an official traverser based on his contribution to the Pandora plane.So, a new mission release was made.

When Wei Keng was on the plateau, his positioning was just a "archer" of strategic projection.
Now the system prompts Wei Keng, who is too frugal in military armament, to master heavy armored armament.

Command and Conquer is about to begin.

……

On May 2203, 5, when spring came to summer, on the Oriental cruise ship in the southeast waters, this modern water hotel with dragon boat style was on the board.

The No. [-] figure of the Donglin Party, Yan Muneng, the housekeeper of the old Yan Ge, is meeting with European businessmen on behalf of Fenghou Group.It was not an ordinary businessman who came, but Lisette, a special agent sent by the Intelligence Department. She has come to the East with the false identity of a business manager, and her purpose is to try to sign a rare earth procurement contract for the Allied forces.

Such strategic resources as rare earths are related to military technology.

four years ago,
The local conflict between the Soviet Army and China in East Asia gave Europe a glimpse of the true strength of the red behemoth's armored power. A lot of '***' information.

The Allies believed that it was necessary to develop a new type of advanced anti-armor swarm combat vehicle. After several rounds of bidding, European and American technology companies took turns to demonstrate the technology of various anti-armor swarms.

The European Joint Operations Committee finally finalized the high-energy spectral penetrating weapon. After many studies, the scientific and technical personnel finally reached the limit of the spectral power output, 465nm. At this time, the system outputs blue-violet visible light.However, the output of high-power beams is limited to the coupling of optical fibers to the spectrum, and regardless of its complex industry, rare earths alone, the share of rare earths opened by the United States is not enough for the Allies to manufacture.

Now China has the most terrestrial rare earth resources in the world.

……

In the first-class cabin of the cruise, the oriental garden decoration makes the huge ship on the sea luxuriously express the quiet atmosphere of the mountain temple. In terms of taste, it is still wonderful for the oriental people to play.

Lisette picked up the tea and said, "Tea from Wuyi Mountain. Are you willing?"

Mu Neng said: "Of course it is the best to entertain foreign guests."

When the two were discussing Zhenghuan, they did not know that their conversation had been eavesdropped by a small bug.

And the next half-hour private tea party became an important blade in the internal struggle of Donglin party members.

The next day, the news that Donglin party members colluded with the outside world and prepared to sell important strategic resources made the headlines of major business news.

This matter caused an uproar, and the Yan family in the cabinet quickly cleared the matter and swept the steward out of the house, but under the unanimous opinion in the public opinion, how could he be allowed to argue?
According to the data proven in the main world, this eavesdropping incident was planned behind the Fenghou Group, in order to combat the Chaotang forces behind the Shanghai-Su United Industrial Group, and the same is true on this timeline.

...

Under the influence of this temple turmoil, Bai Jingqi spoke to Wei Keng again.

The guy who has now climbed to the top of the Fenghou Group has recently become more and more oily on his face and has a romantic air.On the other hand, Wei Keng's face turned red, and he became more and more country bumpkin.Therefore, the styles of the two sides seem to be very different, but the business exchanges have made the relationship between the two parties more and more harmonious!At least on the surface it is peaceful.

Wei Keng's group currently has no strategic projects that have been dealt with by Fenghou. On the contrary, whether the financial report of the Fenghou project this year is a loss or a profit depends on the procurement and infrastructure plans of the Western Economic Union.

Wei Keng took out the multi-function knife and cut an AKS apple for himself while looking at Hai Chau.

Today's topic is rare earths. China's rare earths are distributed in the north and south, and 98% are distributed in southern Mongolia, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Shandong. Now the core rare earth capital, Bayan Obo, was planned by Wei Keng ten years ago. A steel mill has been taken down.

Moreover, Luoshui's technical reserve soon came up with a set of the most advanced extraction and purification industry (from the main world), and established the largest processing industry.The output value of these processing, part of the self-developed related optoelectronic equipment is used for internal needs, while the other part is delivered to some military projects of the Fenghou Group.

When the Hu-Su United Industrial Group was caught in the turmoil of public opinion, right now, this rare earth trade is what the Fenghou Group said.

Without competitors, Fenghou Group does not need to think about selling more and sell less now, and start to calculate whether it should sell or not!So he had to ask Wei Keng to unify his opinions.

After hearing this, Wei Keng asked incredulously: "Do we need to help our potential opponents? Or did they help us when we carried the Soviet armored torrent a few years ago, and now we need a gift in return?"

After receiving a clear response from Wei Keng, Bai Jingqi patted his palm and praised: "Heroes see the same thing."

……

A few weeks later, a document from the Land and Resources Department of the Ministry of Housing in Shenzhou froze the trade.

The Fenghou Group trade representative, who was solely responsible for the transaction, returned the request from Raytheon (United States of Edenia) with a "smile of regret".

However, Wei Keng did not expect that the decision he made according to the original timeline history caused another change in the time flow.
