Chapter 64 Chapter 2.21 Command and Conquer

In the year 2202 of the Qin Tongli calendar, the entire Western Economic Union formed a prototype of an industrial cycle in the Western Region. A foundation that can enable the operation of a society of tens of millions of people is being born.

In the past, the vast western region could not develop because of the lack of some core elements. However, large-scale 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 Shenzhou. Heavy industries such as ore washing and coking that may produce three wastes must not be developed. However, local energy reserves are quite abundant.

Also as a hot boiler that never extinguishes, hot dry rock is safer and pollution-free compared to nuclear energy. The difficulty limiting its development is the high investment in preliminary geological surveys and the high water consumption, and a large amount of power storage infrastructure is also required.

Wei Keng guided the detailed geological data on the roof of the world in the main world (opening the door), and the 18 hot dry rock wells that the Western Economic Union successively hit all burst out abundant energy, and the entire plateau area became an energy exporter.

In the Western Regions, in addition to solar energy and abundant mineral resources, the focus of the Western Economic Association's planning is agriculture.

[As a person who lived once in the 27th century, it is impossible for Wei Keng to be superstitious about such a large-scale Russian-style reckless project of bringing water from Tibet to Xinjiang, which has too many uncontrollable factors. Natural river water contains soluble salts. The evaporation in the Western Regions is still greater than the precipitation. Several years of extensive irrigation will only dry the land and create saline-alkali land where poplar trees cannot grow. ]

In the data of the main world, the way out for agriculture in the Western Regions is the comprehensive utilization of water resources.

All crops are planted in metal and plastic greenhouses. This technology can use drip irrigation and precise control of planting technology to reduce water evaporation.

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

Such agricultural investment seems huge, but with the improvement of industrial productivity, the cost of non-high-tech products such as glass, steel frames, and thermometers will gradually decrease to a less outrageous level.

At least Wei Keng has seen many garden flowers in rich houses, which are cultivated in this way. Master Wei is not interested in flowers, but when it comes to farming, it is like "starving ghosts see food, and hoarders want to save canned food."

As for the original industry in Guanzhong area of ​​Luoshui Group! The defect is that the site is too small, far away from the ocean transportation line, lack of raw materials, and lack of market for industrial products.

In the past, Luoshui had to transport by rail, so it could only rely on the northern plain economic zone of Shenzhou. Now, with the continuous investment of manpower and capital in the plateau and the Western Regions for three years, the Guanzhong Economic Zone has gradually gotten rid of its original dependence.

Now in the management system of Xijinglian: agricultural products and light industrial products have begun to be self-sufficient, especially the cotton textile industry has become a flagship product.

Although heavy industrial products rely on imports, Luoshui Group has core technologies in heavy trucks, high-performance batteries and other projects. It still maintains its own technical needs for imported heavy industrial products, and has not formed a fatal dependence. It has also pulled back the deficit through the mining, refining economy and the electronics industry.

The most important thing is that the Western Economic Union has just gone through the Battle of Talas and did not lose! There will be no more wars outside the northern frontier in the short term.

With security guarantees, we can now devote all our energy to the development of the basic economy. Unlike the east, which is caught in a fierce high-tech competition!

In the shipyard of Su-Shanghai Joint Venture, a cutting-edge all-electric system battleship costs 40 billion.

The generals of the navy in the eastern part of Shenzhou are constantly asking for military expenditures, clamoring to maintain 50 "Xuanming" class battleships with laser anti-missile capabilities to replace the "Prince Wudao" class, which is already one generation behind.

As for Shenjing, it gritted its teeth and developed a cutting-edge air force 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 are enough for the Western Economic Union to transform thousands of hectares of farmland greenhouses in the Western Regions (one hectare, four or five million funds, one thousand hectares is only four or five billion)

The main world also encountered this problem during the first and second wars after the industrial age.

After the Versailles Peace Conference, after achieving the goal of victory, the British found that their living standards were not as good as those of the Germans. Haha, the British don't think about how terrifying their battleship clusters across 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 battleship technology, and focused on their own expertise in machinery, chemicals, and semiconductors.

Of course, it is necessary for superpowers to compete in cutting-edge fields. After solving the bear, the bald eagle turned around and cut the leeks of its followers. As for the rabbits that are keeping up with the latest technology, the bald eagles have to be more cautious when wielding their harvesters.

However, it is also important to recognize one's own strength. The biggest negative example of the same period is the white elephant. As a regional power, it needs to consolidate the security of the region first. However, after the second millennium, when many mines in its internal governance system have not been resolved, and the economic structure has not even laid the most basic foundation, it tried to compete in various major power fields such as nuclear energy, aerospace, and battleships to expand its global influence. As a result, it was eager to start, and various external technologies were replaced, which was in full swing, just like the Westernization Movement in the last century. As a result, the world fluctuated and everything stagnated.

Wei Keng is now very down-to-earth. He is an average person, so he doesn't have so many crazy ideas.

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

In terms of air force, only drones were updated, and no new fighters were competed with other war zones.

As for the allocation of weapons at the annual military meeting, Wei Keng would take the second-hand one that was cheaper. Anyway, no one beat him on the plateau, and the military expenditure was reduced to a quarter of that of other land generals. As for those naval commanders in the east, Wei Keng is even more incomparable.

...

Of course, Wei Keng's abandonment of unrealistic pursuits is not the lack of ambition that people say. Some things that can be completed and should be completed should be done honestly.

In August, in order to commemorate the third anniversary of the Battle of Talas, Wei Keng conducted a group of exercises on the plateau, whether it was a show or a sword dance.

In the multiple channels of Kunlun Mountain, trains were mobilized in the caves. Then the missile vehicles moved along the road system to various highway sections.

With an order, three missiles took off at different times from three launch positions, and then made tactical maneuvers according to different ballistics, and finally crossed 2,000 kilometers and arrived at the designated shooting range in the Mobei area at the same time.

The exercise was very successful. In the final summary report submitted, there was such a self-boasting sentence: "From a high position, we can provide tactical support to the surrounding military areas."

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

The Shenjing side seems to be a procedural reward.

But in Wei Keng's real calculation, the cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the third burrow is completed.

[The third burrow in the allusion of the cunning rabbit has three burrows is to distribute Qi's ancestral vessels to Mengchangjun's fiefdom Xueyi. With the artifact sitting in his fiefdom, Qi has to send troops to protect it, and 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 Spacetime Administration for Wei Keng was not arranged.

On August 15, just after Wei Keng finished the plateau exercise, the Spacetime Administration had just issued the decrypted information of this plane, and after seeing this information, Master Wei frowned.

The Prince of Shengyang who changed the history of this timeline is back. But after he came back, there will be changes in the entire spacetime fusion process.

In this stable spacetime, a multiple spacetime reflection will appear, and the super-spacetime technology of various countries in this world will undergo major application changes.

Just like two mirrors can produce countless mirrors in the mirror.

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

Of course, the more you want to project into the space-time rift, the more energy you consume. The most economical post-projection demand will be about twenty times. The projected product can be used as a master for continued projection after error correction!

And what will this mean? ——The above-mentioned expensive large-scale military weapons will be able to be built in multiples. The only consumption is minerals and energy.

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

It turns out that the purpose of this brother's research and development of the two space laboratories, Hetu and Luoshu, is not just for superpowers.

Wei Keng was actually careless himself. At that time, Ke Feijia left a lot of complex concepts such as space-time reflection in the report. And Wei Keng felt that it was useless to learn these physical concepts because they were different from the main world and only applicable here. He completely ignored them.

And now! Once physicists around the world discover the space-time mirror phenomenon.

This technology will soon be put into practical use and put into various military factories. Operators only need to refer to the master template and make continuous corrections during the process of generating metal structures in space-time cracks.

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

The base vehicle system will appear.

Wei Keng quickly opened the information of various forces in the world in this regard:

The Soviet Union's "Little Basil" base vehicle in Siberia, because its architectural structure is very similar to St. Basil's Cathedral, was originally just to stimulate the economy and build board houses, but as long as this crack projection processing system is installed, it can automatically use local minerals to manufacture weapons and vehicles.

The base vehicle developed by the Allies specifically for overseas supplies has better projection progress with their space printing technology, and there is no need to prepare lathes for additional polishing of some places with high precision requirements like the Soviet Union's base vehicles.

As for Shengyang, they are the original interferers in history here. 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 just playing house in your eyes. The world is so crazy. In fact, no matter what Construction, in the coming decades of conflict, the powers here will only talk with artillery and energy bombs.”

Wei Keng also understood why the system only sent him the information about this plane now.

That's because originally I was just a novice. According to the original plan, I should stay in this world until the year 2202 of Qin Tongli and then go back. In order not to interfere with it, the time was divided into deployments of combat time and space, so whether it was Wei Qiang or Ke Feijia, according to the time and space mission regulations, kept Wei Keng secret.

But now, Wei Keng is on a solo mission in this plane.

And with the end of the plane war, Wei Keng was classified as an official traveler for his contribution to the Pandora plane. So, a new mission was released.

When Wei Keng was on the plateau, he positioned himself as a strategic projection "archer".

Now the system reminds Wei Keng, a guy who is too frugal in military armaments, that he still needs to master heavy armor armaments.

Command & Conquer is about to begin.

…

As spring turns to summer, on May 26, 2003, on the Oriental Cruise Ship in the southeastern waters, this modern floating hotel with a dragon boat style is displayed.

Yan Muneng, the second-largest figure in the Donglin Party and the steward of Mr. Yan Ge, is meeting with European businessmen on behalf of the Fenghou Group. What came was not an ordinary businessman, but Lisette, an agent sent by the Intelligence Department. She now came to the East under the false identity of a business manager, with the purpose of trying to sign a rare earth procurement contract for the Allied Forces.

Strategic resources like rare earths involve military technology.

four years ago,

The Allies believe that they must develop a new advanced anti-armor swarm combat vehicle. After multiple rounds of bidding, European and American technology companies took turns to demonstrate various anti-armor swarm technologies.

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 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. Regardless of its complex industry, the share of rare earths opened by the United States alone is not enough for the Allies to manufacture.

China now has the largest terrestrial rare earth resources in the world.

…

In the first-class cabin of the cruise ship, the Eastern-style garden decoration allows the giant ship, which is obviously on the sea, to luxuriously express the quiet atmosphere of a mountain temple. In terms of taste, it is still a wonderful thing for Orientals.

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

Mu Neng said: "Of course you have to be the best when entertaining foreign guests."

When the two were having a pleasant discussion, they didn't know that their conversation had been eavesdropped by a small bug.

The private tea party that took place in the next half hour became an important weapon in the internal struggle among the Donglin Party members.

The next day, the news that the Donglin Party members were colluding with others and preparing to sell out important strategic resources made headlines in major business news.

This matter caused an uproar, and the Yan family in the cabinet quickly distanced themselves from the matter and kicked the steward out. But with everyone in the public speaking out, how could he be allowed to argue?

According to the information discovered in the main world, this eavesdropping incident was planned by the Fenghou Group in order to combat the imperial power behind the Shanghai-Soviet United Industrial Group, and the same is true in this timeline.

…

Affected by the turmoil in the temple, Bai Jingqi spoke to Wei Keng again.

This guy who has now climbed to the top of the Fenghou Group has been getting more and more shiny recently, and he has become a charming person. Wei Keng's face turned a plateau red, looking more and more like a country bumpkin. Therefore, the painting styles of the two parties seem to be very inconsistent. However, the business dealings between the two parties have made the relationship between the two parties more and more harmonious! At least it's peaceful on the surface.

Wei Keng's group currently does not have any strategic projects that are being manipulated by Feng Hou. On the contrary, whether the Feng Hou project's financial report this year will be a loss or a profit depends on the procurement and infrastructure plans of the Western Economic Union.

While Wei Keng looked at Hai La opposite him, he took out a multifunctional knife and peeled an Aksu apple for himself.

Today’s topic is rare earths. China’s rare earths are distributed in the north and south, with 98% distributed in southern Mongolia, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Shandong. The current core rare earth capital of Baiyun Obo was planned by Wei Keng ten years ago. A steel plant was captured.

Moreover, Luoshui's technology reserve quickly produced a set of the most advanced extraction and purification industries (from the main world) and established the largest processing industry. Part of the output value of these processes is used to develop related optoelectronic equipment for internal needs, while the other part is delivered to some military projects of Fenghou Group.

When the Shanghai-Soviet United Industrial Group was deeply involved in public opinion turmoil, at present, the rare earth trade was decided by Fenghou Group.

Without competitors, Fenghou Group now no longer has to think about economic considerations, such as selling more and selling less, and starts calculating whether it should sell or not! So he had to find Wei Keng for consensus.

After hearing this, Wei Keng asked with an incredulous look on his face: "Do we need to help our potential opponents? Or, when we were carrying the torrent of Soviet armor a few years ago, they helped us, and now we need to return the favor?"

After receiving Wei Keng's clear response, Bai Jingqi clapped his hands and praised: "Heroes see the same thing."

…

A few weeks later, a document from the Land and Resources Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs of China froze the trade.

The Fenghou Group trade representative who was fully responsible for this transaction rejected the request of Raytheon (United States of Eden) with a "regretful smile".

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