Out of the cage

Chapter 1304 Chapter 26.27 (Part 2) Black Mud on Venus

In April 1943, a ruin disaster also occurred on Venus. ——This plane has reached its final stage and is already full of loopholes.

At this time, the largest underground reservoir in Donglaizhou began to be polluted by an "algae" organism. This algae organism made the water unsafe. This water source could burn memories, causing human thoughts to flow out with the metabolism of the water, realizing " "Personality excretion", in infected cities, all human beings' original "empathy" and "kindness" are lost, turning into cold, cold-blooded monsters.

This water source enters thousands of households like worms. In the end, it became a murderous ghost. The three underground cities around the reservoir, with a total of 150,000 people, turned into a ghost city, where people killed people coldly and cannibalized their own kind. The walls of the city are covered with minced meat, and every residential area is filled with blood. The murderers will not smile grimly, and those who are killed will not scream.

On Venus, the Federation blocked the city and cut off the water supply.

When the researchers looked at the green algae flowing like souls in the glass-covered reservoirs in the three cities, they felt horrified.

Algae carry the "metabolized" personality in the city. These algae form a personal soul form that dances wildly in the water.

Individuals whose personality is washed away by the water of Venus will struggle and wander around, staring at living people for help.

Since the rotation has just reached "night" at this time, once daytime comes, as the algae life cycle changes, these stored personalities will be wiped out.

(The rotation period of Venus is 243.01 days, so compared to the four seasons, day and night are the important major cycles.)

...the dividing line that cannot be saved no matter how hard it is saved...

In winter, after the first cold front, the federal government on Venus began to decide to enter the infected city to carry out decontamination work. The dark tunnels entered by mechanical police soldiers were completely blocked. As the incendiary warheads were injected, this ruthless cannibal The city began to be scorched by fire.

But the smoke seemed to be alive when the flames were burning. As the federal mechanical police soldiers and soldiers wearing mechas began to enter the city, the smoke quietly contaminated the bodies of these soldiers, and the small black carbon particles penetrated deep into the mechanical armors. Internally, it penetrated into the organism inside the armor.

The situation of cities on Venus is similar to the city construction on the moon before "Satan's Day" (the day of demon spirits) eighty-five years ago.

This kind of urban construction still belongs to the design of the last century. In the glass cover, there is only a small distance between each building.

The Venusian government, like the lunar government, initially felt good. When these bureaucrats and politicians encounter emergencies, they always try to solve (cover) the matter at the minimum cost.

The senior government officials watched through the screen as these mechanical soldiers began to spray "high-temperature ion flames" at each room of the building.

Narrator: This high-temperature ion is argon gas with a temperature of more than 1,000 degrees. It can burn people, but it will not set the building on fire and will not cause much damage to the building structure. It is a technological flamethrower dedicated to urban warfare.

Amidst the blue flames that the mechanical warriors continuously sprayed, there were slime-like debris between the buildings, and the bubbling slugs were burned by the flames and quickly shrank into the underground pipes.

When these mechanical infantrymen wearing gas masks began to adapt to the "simple mode" and entered a relaxed state, sweeping all the way through the city, the central reservoir in the city began to turn into a "black mud pool."

The fungus carpet became active and knew how to "advance and retreat". Before the arrival of the human RoboCop, it disappeared like a mural fading.

When most of the teams entered the city center, the "algae slimes" that fled in the flames were quietly gathering.

The first group of mechanical soldiers responsible for disinfection felt the creaking of the alloy steel plate floor under their feet, and the entire ground was bulging, so they began to disperse cautiously towards the surroundings. Finally, with a loud bang, on the ground Huge bubbles bulged up, and clusters of large liquid bubbles appeared.

The mechanical warriors immediately started the injectors, heated the argon gas through thermal fusion, and sprayed it against the large liquid bubbles with various biological organs flowing inside.

The blue flames scorched the transparent tentacles that popped out of this huge blue droplet monster, but each tentacle was burned into carbon strips, but there were still new mucus that gathered into tentacles and pounced in the air.

On the ground tunnel, many small bubbles rolled out. These bubbles rushed in front of the mechanical warriors and began to explode, spraying out green fluorescent liquid. The steel mecha was suddenly corroded.

The fluorescent acid liquid is a strong acid, and the heat waves generated by corrosion of steel spread over the newly scorched and blackened road. As those unextinguished fire points came into contact with these "oxidizing" acid mist, a raging fire suddenly broke out.

The railings, which had been scorched black by argon gas heating, began to creak and deform due to acid corrosion. It started to crackle and burn.

As the algae colony began to "shoot back with burning liquid jets," the Venusian suppression forces began to flee.

However, during their escape, they were dragged into the fissure swamp and swallowed by the liquid tentacles ejected from the ground, and then were digested without a trace.

After humanity was defeated, new individuals emerged from the three cities occupied by strange algae.

These new residents have inverted triangular heads (like a mantis) and regular bodies like lobsters and insects.

A week later, these algae creatures were named "Styx Tribe" by solar system scholars.

Before the Internet was blocked on Venus, a large number of panic messages began to spread. One of them was "We (civilians) will also become part of the ruins!"...

…The immeasurable calamity has begun…

From this moment on, Earth, Mars, and Venus, the three major human planets in the solar system, have all fallen into a new round of "demon disaster". And the cudgel of the Humane Alliance is starting to get thirsty.

Beginning in 2843, the Earth Federation relaxed its blockade on the moon and began to acquiesce in the moon's re-establishment of merchant ships in orbit. Moya in the mobile suit battle group, like a dragonfly on water, landed on the latest space battleship produced on the moon.

He looked at the retreat of the space city on the Lagrange signal from the earth and pouted, and reported the situation to other comrades in the communication: Their space forces really could not sustain the two-year blockade, and they were deployed far away from the supply area. The fleet needs at least ten times the mass of supply ships.

The current confrontation between the Earth and the Moon has resulted in all supply ships from the Earth bound for outer space having to stay at the Lagrange point to avoid being destroyed by orbital artillery shells launched by the Moon.

Therefore, the capital of the earth, whose interests have been greatly damaged in the past three years, is extremely concerned about a preliminary ceasefire agreement between the earth and the moon.

Please note that this is a "ceasefire" rather than a "truce". The Earth families who started the war want to maintain the "new model" of confrontation.

Therefore, the attitude of the current Human Rights Alliance government is very clear: a ceasefire is to stop the exchange of fire within a predetermined range, and a truce is the default between the two sides to allow communication. This exchange included the previous light industrial grain trade.

Why just a ceasefire and not a truce? The federal government simply wants to restore light industrial trade to its own orbiting cities on the moon.

Earth Lagrange News The parliamentary elites have made clever calculations and are preparing to continue to impose sanctions on high-tech trade. Then there are actually second-rate, but packaged scale “high-tech” elite consumer goods, in exchange for lunar labor-intensive industries.

Therefore, the Lunar Humanity Group believes: "Did you lose the battle, or did we lose the battle and treat us as a colony of raw materials that can be exploited?"

The people under Wei Keng's leadership are all unruly people. According to the unruly people's theory: when the so-called trade order makers formulate trade rules that "only allow one side to produce high added value in exchange for the other side to produce low added value", this is to You are treated as the defeated party that can be exploited.

Why can we only work hard and sweat, but you can be artistic and elegant, and then be relaxed and happy by just using your brain?

Fortunately: the Lunar Humanities Alliance has already made arrangements in advance.

Before the war blockade, the several expensive warships purchased were dismantled. At the time, it seemed like a huge waste and wasted money.

At this time, when the heavy industry channel cannot be solved through purchase, the experience gained by the industrial team's "useless" disassembly and assembly has become a valuable roadmap for self-production and self-research. These workers who participated in the disassembly have now become the core technical backbone.

In 2040, the Moon decided to build a one-kilometer-level "space frigate" with a tonnage of five million tons.

The first "space frigate" deleted a lot of the original destroyer's configuration, and put together all the "internal organs" in a thing the size of a sparrow. It really tests the design ability.

In the design, the first version of the frigate did not even have a laser secondary battery due to insufficient energy, and could only use an ion cannon secondary battery that continued to have insufficient firepower. As for the main offensive weapon, it can only rely on its diamond-shaped stealth design to launch nuclear torpedoes for attack.

Of course, the warship does not lag behind in terms of informatization indicators and can be connected in parallel with a large number of surrounding satellite systems.

In the opinion of contemporary earth and space experts, this kind of warship that is closely linked to the satellite communication network can only fight defensive warfare in low-Earth orbit, and it is difficult to navigate in deep space.

Earth Federation space expert: If they want to expedition to Mars and Venus, they must find a window period when Mars and the Earth are close to set sail.

Of course, it's just a joke, but no matter what, this is towards the production of self-made warships! In these troubled times, self-production is a valuable skill. Because the solar system will no longer be peaceful.

It's like the WPC's military technology is the strongest in the early 21st century, while all other armaments are child's play. In peacetime, those second-rate countries all regarded it as superior to buy other countries' advanced weapons in order to suppress the market, and never considered the risk of not having the goods on the market. But as it entered a high-risk environment decades later, the military industry of powerful countries has been used for its own purposes. Countries suddenly found that weapons were unavailable on the market, especially in the small war in Eastern Europe. Military purchasers found that Ukraine could only use weapons from decades ago, and the quantities were not enough. Second-rate countries suddenly discovered that self-creation is a very valuable ability.

Just like India's BrahMos missile, you can laugh at it as a technology from the 1970s, but at least it has a production line, so it won't end up like Argentina decades ago, where it continued to use missiles until it ran out of missiles. , you can’t buy missiles all over the world, so you can only rely on pilots to drop iron bombs.

Arms independence is originally a kind of "defense deterrence". "Creating something from scratch" in this kind of national defense is a threshold, and being able to achieve "sausageization" is another threshold.

After large-scale industrial coordination on the moon, Jinchan Industrial City began building the first batch of eight frigates.

Ninety years ago, before the first demon spirit disaster, Jinchan Industrial City was an important shipbuilding center. At that time, it was crowded with space battleship technicians dispatched by the earth. This former ruins, two hundred years ago, The first batch of Shanhaijing-class battleships were built here.

The Human Rights Alliance relocated the center of fleet manufacturing here, which can be regarded as a different kind of revival.

In 2843, after the "ionic nano-welding factory" was completed, the shipbuilding pool completed the keel construction within fifteen days.

Start following the steps to strengthen the carbon fiber structure and strengthen the aluminum alloy magnetic armor. The entire construction period is eight months.

The six thousand sub-steps of shipbuilding have all undergone strict inspections, such as ultrasonic flaw detection and X-ray darkroom irradiation. The technology used to build nuclear submarines and aircraft on Earth is available in the Jinchan Industrial Center, and the exploration equipment that is not available in the industrial production lines is also available here.

Finally, in July 1944, it was delivered to the Human Alliance for testing. During the test, it was verified that this warship was fully qualified, and some air tightness indicators were better than similar products from the Federation.

Please note that 30% of this batch of shipbuilding workers are from the "black mud" generation.

The first batch of them were born in 2016. They were born as human beings and have now begun to integrate into social work.

Before the age of sixty, the genes of the Black Mud Generation are in a natural human state. After the age of sixty, they begin to connect to their "high oxygen base" and prepare to emerge from the chrysalis and become a butterfly.

The Human Alliance completed the unification of the moon and entered the construction state, which happened to coincide with the peak of their 20-year-old natural energy. It also coincided with the blockade of the Earth Federation. The manufacturing of a series of space heavy industries happened to require a massive industrial population and engineers.

Sixty-seven industrial bases, including Jinchan City, are now in full swing. In the factory here, these ordinary skilled workers look unremarkable, but they speak calmly and move their hands steadily.

The new era is full of vitality because of them. And after all the shackles are gone, the moon also provides them with the possibility to realize their ambitions.

In a healthy and progressive society, policies are not overly "stimulating" and everyone does not need to be arrogant or frivolous. Maintain a fair and reasonable evaluation of merit, so that no one is hindered. Such a good era has come for cultivating one’s life according to one’s nature.

The people in Wei Keng gave the generation of the "Human Base" a standard "righteous" life, and the moon is also the embryo that is to be cultivated as a carrier of civilization. In the future, this embryo will advance through the planes and enter Gaia's consciousness.

Li Gui was holding Zhu Xiaoyan on the roof of the engineer dormitory, looking at this era of human fire: "Gaia consciousness, I take you extremely seriously."
