Ten thousand I am across the heavens

While the superconducting coil provided a strong defense capability for the Mohist territory, it also played a considerable role in the civilian field, especially in the transportation industry.

The pure military industry cannot support such a large-scale infrastructure construction, because if the industry in this area does not invade the outside world, it will not see short-term benefits, and industries that cannot obtain benefits will make the people lose confidence in the long run.

This is actually the reason why many socialist countries in the world will use the land economy to stimulate national development after they have developed to a certain stage. In addition to future hope, workers pay more attention to the benefits that can be obtained now. This is in human values. Before the complete change, it was the existence of iron rules.

The superconducting coils buried underground provide convenience in transportation. Although the railway is still the mode of transportation with the largest carrying capacity, with the establishment of rows of superconducting coils and laser towers along the railway, a new high-speed transportation The pattern has spread out.

Magnetic levitation is not a black technology. In the case of many superconducting coils underground, it is much simpler to realize the magnetic levitation of vehicles. In this way, the cost of low-altitude flight is greatly reduced, and the load capacity of floating trains is also greatly increased. Compared with the pure railway transportation, the logistics speed between them has been improved to a higher level.

Moreover, the track is not as rigid as the railway. It is theoretically possible to turn and reverse the car, but in some high-speed sections, such an operation is prohibited.

It's like building a high-altitude highway between cities.

Theoretically, this model can also be used to build floating vehicles on the surface of the city. If it develops without foreign enemies, the city will become a three-dimensional structure in many science fiction works, and a large number of vehicles fly freely in the city. .

But now that the city is developing underground, such floating logistics can only be used for transportation between cities.

While doing their best to build in the Jiangnan area, the Mohists did not limit their vision to the land blocked by the natural dangers of the river. If they continue to the west, there is still a large area of ​​land waiting to be developed. Humans in this era say that they want to develop the moon and Mars. It is too early, the environment of the moon and Mars, no matter how they are modified to be suitable for human beings, can there be more suitable for human beings on the earth?And there are still many places on the earth that have not been effectively developed, such as the deep sea, or the roof of the world...

This is the most extensive plateau in the world, but its development is quite backward on this timeline. All countries know that this is a strategic location. If you want to win, the problem is that the upfront cost of plateau development is extremely huge. Even if the infrastructure construction is completed and the roads are opened, the benefits obtained are still difficult to match with other regions.

The three major powers treat non-indigenous areas with the attitude of colonies. How can it be possible to invest in the development of this place under such circumstances.

Indeed, by occupying this place, they can deter large surrounding areas with a small force and establish their own authority in the surrounding area, but the resources required to maintain an army on the plateau make them daunting.

The Mohists have no worries in this regard. They regard every inch of the area under their control as their own land to build. Even though the natural environment in the western region is harsh, they still develop without hesitation.

The biggest problem in the construction of mountainous areas is the problem of transportation. The cost of transportation with heavy transport aircraft is too high, and the speed of opening the road inch by inch is too slow. Let's transport the materials for one mile!

Therefore, if you want to develop these mountainous areas, you often need to rely on animal power or even manpower to complete the earliest development work.

The Mohists are determined to invest resources, manpower, and people to develop the plateau. There will always be more solutions than difficulties. The first is the problem of large-scale transportation equipment. The Mohism chose air transportation. On the one hand, they tried every means to reduce the cost of large-scale transport aircraft and increase the capacity.

Most of the current industrial projects, as long as the investment is sufficient, can gradually improve performance and reduce costs. After completing the supporting industrial chain, the equipment that used to be extremely expensive will eventually be smashed into cabbage prices.

On the other hand, it is to develop a new transportation mode. The transportation mode this time is still magnetic levitation, but instead of relying on the coils on the ground to achieve magnetic levitation, it relies on atmospheric organisms that reduce the floating height.

With the floating electric tower, the new generations of the Mohists already have a data base for the cultivation of other atmospheric organisms. The volume of the new type of floating jellyfish begins to expand, and the air sacs also begin to become larger. The adult individuals will grow into diameters one by one. Giant balloons ranging from three to five meters, and have a certain power system.

Of course, the Mohists don't expect this thing to be able to control its own flight direction, the power system is just for the convenience of splicing itself together in the air.

A large number of buoyant jellyfish flew to the plateau area under the traction of the drone. This scene looked very funny, as if a sesame seed was pulling an elephant forward.

In the plateau area, these jellyfish are spliced ​​together to form a high-speed airway. Because of the huge number, the high-speed airway usually has a diameter of more than [-] meters, so the buoyancy provided is also extremely large, forming huge floating pipelines.

The aircraft only needs to use the magnetic levitation capability to take off in the area where the infrastructure construction has been completed, then enter the pipeline, and fly in the center of the pipeline, so that it can reach the area that needs to be constructed at high speed, low consumption, and heavy load.

Compared with ordinary roads, the biggest advantage of such aerial pipelines is that they can be moved. With the traction of drones, the position of the entrance and exit can be changed, that is, any pipeline can realize the infrastructure construction of a large area. .

The initial cost of the air corridor technology is still relatively high. The most expensive is the steel cable of the core structure of the air corridor. All floating jellyfish must be attached to the steel cable. Otherwise, the air pipeline will be broken when the wind blows, and you You can't expect such a strong structure from a jellyfish with a developmental period of less than a week. He can guarantee that his balloon will not break and leak for a long time, which is considered excellent.

The high-altitude wind speed in the plateau area is very high, so the requirements for steel cables are quite high. In a sense, they are accumulating advanced technology for space elevator technology.

With the investment of a large amount of capital and manpower, the cost of technology is gradually reduced.

Now on the plateau, huge white pipelines are like blood vessels, constantly transporting resources and population to the barren areas, and building the plateau at a speed that makes the world dumbfounded.
