Out of the cage

In 2272, the wind on the northern plateau carried heavy snow and blew into the city, turning into a drizzle of cold rain, and the paper shells in the streets and alleys became damp and fragile.

Wei Keng has been in this world for two full years. The humanistic background of the current era is basically clear.

In a word, it is just the projection of the late ancient times of the main world.

Let's talk about population explosion, it is indeed a population explosion. In the rising super cities, the skyscrapers are built higher and higher like building blocks. All kinds of windmills are floating on the calibrated aviation track in the city. Cities are running out of resources.

[Oh, this kind of Yufeng car is different from the weight of two or three tons of fuel jeeps. The pure titanium alloy body makes it about the same weight as the "Old Man". It can only carry one person, and it is smaller than a helicopter. (In the 21st century, there is the concept of a single-soldier hoverboard, which is a commercial version that can be driven while lying or sitting.) This is generally a consumer product for high-income technicians. Their time is precious. 】

In the city, there are many markets where people come and go. All in all, at first glance the city seems to have a population of hundreds of millions!

~

But in fact, the total population of Xialian and the Kyushu area is only 2.3 billion, and the population of each super city is at most 20 to 30 million.

As for why it looks crowded? Because many open and spacious areas in the city are private.

Such as large clubs. A huge mansion garden with a large area, and a gorgeous parking lot for large-scale technological supplies (sports cars, helicopters, suspended vehicles, medium and large personal mechs).

One in a thousand people occupies 80% of the urban space, and one percent of the people occupies 99% of the urban space.

If a young girl from a rural background comes to a metropolis, everywhere her perspective goes is a scene of extremely affluent material life. That's because the urban facilities she saw, the people behind them who can be connected are all wealthy. And these places will accept these young ladies in and out, but this seemingly "free" access comes at a price.

And when a young man from out of town enters such a cyber environment, his perspective is full of the crowded life of the working class. It is because although this reinforced concrete forest is vast, as an area that wage earners can freely enter, it is a scattered point in the city.

Supermarkets, general game halls, and public office buildings! People come and go here. Walking in these crowded spots for a long time, so I feel that the city is very crowded.

~

This is the "huge gap between the poor and the rich" in modern times.

After the twenty-sixth century, and now in the twenty-eighth century, the young people in the main world have not experienced such an era of "dire misery". If we only understand it from the "mimetic world", it is easy to have cognitive illusions about the ancient times. In the splendid and prosperous superstructure, seeing beauties like clouds, and at the same time being sought after in every move, you may say "the ancient times are good" jokes like a maid).

Note: After the major nuclear war in the main world, the core business districts of all cities in the ancient times were all razed to the ground. After the post-war reconstruction, entering the era of social security, the rebuilt city maintained the spirit of "public ownership of the city", that is, 90% of the land and construction in the city must be shared. Before Wei Keng crossed over, his hometown had a private house of several hectares in the western desert. But in Puhai, I still rent a house to live in, and I rely on the public transportation system to commute to and from get off work.

Return to the plane of Shenzhou.

In this world, due to the unreasonable distribution of assets, the class gap between people is huge, and the concept of portals is also unprecedented.

Wealthy families from all over the world have exclusive mansions in the center of big cities; in their own circle, they also socialize in high society in friends' clubs and parks.

The poor families are those senior technicians, they have their own contacts, hold 1% of the high-paying positions in China, have close personal relationships with the heads of various yamen (refer to Song Jiang), and have several sets of private houses in the city. Of course, flashy things like personal mechas and transforming cars cannot be consumed.

As for the lower ones, there are crowd streams. They are basically working-class people with a monthly income of around 340,000 to 150,000. It seems that the income is high, but it is burdened with a large amount of medical insurance and residential loans. It takes the subway to travel to and from public places. It may also have its own house in the countryside, but in the city it is all on its own.

As for the lowest non-proprietors, the so-called free and flexible practitioners. Being crowned as "free" and "flexible" is precisely the least free. ——With such a conservative atmosphere in China, 90% of the tattoos are on this group. It is not within the scope of order constraints, nor is it within the scope of order protection. Since there is no permanent property, it will not encounter any backlash if it is dealt with by the city's "machine" at will.

For example, in bars, those old and lustful women who have been spoiled, or the drunks who have been used up and are burdened with large debts. They are all portrayals of the end of this class.

Every class has tragedies, but the worst tragedies are concentrated among the so-called "free groups."

~

In the marriage communication of all classes, they definitely pay attention to the door.

No class would be willing to marry the lower class. ——Because everyone knows how helpless the life of the next class is, and they are afraid of falling down.

According to the procedure, the system asked Wei Keng to express his thoughts on the situation of this plane.

Master Wei looked at the light sources around the city, oh, there are no street lights these days, and all the lights are embedded on the cliff-like walls of the building, which is unattainable.

Wei Keng: "The road I walked last time, this time I can no longer walk."

Before the system asked "why\

,"Wei Keng took the initiative to answer: "Last time, the reason why formatting was possible was because there were still reformers and enlightenedists who were willing to invest downward in the scholar class. Now, the class has been very clear, and all classes are strictly adhering to their own principles. The basic plate. This has lost the basis of cooperative improvement. Today, there must be a strong force to smash through this solid class."

Speaking of this, Wei Keng frowned. ——Ignoring all frameworks, determined and determined to run through the future, this kind of rigidity and yang is different from my own temperament.

Well, it's not that you can't do it, but that you may not be able to do it well. On the other side of the Pandora plane, there are tens of thousands of selves, and only by chance and coincidence, a "true new and authentic" individual state will appear. Of course, that's not a hero, it's a "madman" in the dark smashing an iron house, just enough rigid, but not masculine enough.

Wei Keng: In the term "carrying on the past and opening up the future", I belong to "carrying on the past". And "Kailai" requires a heroic spirit, a youthful spirit, and a talent far beyond that of a middle-aged man.

System: After inquiry, time-quake space-time, all recorded consciousness lists, there is no one you want to find. (When all horses are silent, there is no such thing as a young hero.)

Wei Keng nodded: "Okay, let's lay down the basic conditions first, and let the times create heroes."

2273.

To the west of Jiuquan, Gansu, to the east of Jiayu Pass. A new geodetic lens test station is completed. Seen from the sky, this is a cauldron with a diameter of four kilometers turned upside down. (The Eye of Heaven in Guizhou has the mouth of the pot facing the sky. That thing is facing the sky, and this one is looking into the earth.)

Under the inverted large pot lid is a spherical space with a diameter of one kilometer. This space is filled with liquid water as a scalar quantity.

This is an expansion of mainstream crustal exploration equipment to more than four orders of magnitude (ten thousand times). It can penetrate 600 kilometers underground.

And now all mining technology is to mine in the earth's crust.

That is, extending the technical indicators to the point where no economic returns are currently visible.

Purely for scientific exploration. This is in the current situation where the world is in a monopoly depression, and most of the super-large scientific and technological explorations have been reduced to negative assets. It seems that such a large-scale scientific research investment really seems to be a bit of a "afterglow".

~

In the process of productivity breakthrough, technological development is needed. However, the development of basic technology is often not based on the needs of productivity at that time.

The development of productive forces precisely requires basic technology to meet the conditions.

So when advancing to the next era of productivity, you don't know what technology to develop. There must be enough fools to spend money to "just happen" to get you the front-end technology.

Therefore, when civilization is facing the big test of technological advancement, it is like a college student trying not to fail a subject and wants the teacher to focus on it. The teacher will give you a sentence-the book is full of key points.

And people in the era of scientific cognition barriers, that is, China's current predicament, are like scumbags, knowing that they can't do many things, but feel that they don't have the energy to read books line by line, looking forward to grasping the key points, but can't. I know where the key point is, and then I don’t have the strength to look at it, so I don’t look at it, and I fall into an endless loop.

Wei Keng has experienced two hundred years in the empty twisting plane - he understands that the most difficult thing, and it seems that there is no benefit return, "maybe it is the "breakthrough point" (simple, there will be benefit return value soon, others have already broken through up.)

And Wei Keng, a graduate student in the 27th century of the main world.

In the plane of Pandora, I have a lot of experience communicating with the physical powers of the Judgment plane. Now I return to the original plane of crossing, and I also start to practice the theoretical knowledge I have learned in the process of "designing large-scale experiments".

Now it is time to prepare for doctoral level scientific research.

June 1.

The newly built geodetic detector was turned on for the first time. In the first detection, it showed unprecedented performance. Jiehongzi wave scanned most of Liangzhou and the crustal plates in the Western Regions, and photographed a place 140 kilometers away, 30,000 meters below, a place that had just cooled for less than 50,000 years. The rudimentary mineral deposits that began to show band-like precipitation.

In the high-definition resolution map, it can be clearly seen that this metal mineral has not completely broken away from the periodic erosion of the magma veins, and it can be seen from the layers of bright bands that are repeatedly precipitated from the molten salt and the edge of the crust. In the millennium stage, there is an active cycle of geological activities here.

Of course, if the mineral belts known to humans on the surface are to be formed, it will take millions of years for magmatic activity to stop completely, tens of millions of years for crustal uplift, and millions of years for groundwater to be transported.

~

After the related photos accompanied the publication of the paper, it aroused great interest from geoscientists around the world.

Oh, such a large-scale scientific research equipment is like an otaku figure. The price of several thousand yuan is very expensive, and everyone expresses that they are not interested and cannot afford it. But if someone around you really buys it home, then they will definitely come over to take a look.

This mantle observation facility costs tens of billions! It is about the price of an aircraft carrier battle group.

In terms of design, it also borrowed from the world's mature crustal observation technology, and then improved the design (Master Wei's engineering design level was burnt out of the empty twisting plane resources).

However, the observation range can be expanded hundreds of times, and the observation accuracy can be increased by three orders of magnitude. ——This is equivalent to the grid compound eyes of insects in the Cambrian era, which is suddenly complicated to the visual system of vertebrates.

The difficulty of eye evolution lies in the fact that in the process of competition, whether vision is in the key evolution direction is very important.

The same is true now, tens of billions of observation funds are not difficult for the major powers, but the difficulty is how to pay attention to implementation.

"Attention" is not just appropriation of funds, but the top management who control the allocation of resources, willing to send people to lead, the middle management to do their best, and the grassroots to have a capable atmosphere.

The results of major basic scientific research projects most of the time cannot be directly fed back to the power system, and the entry threshold for the ability and sense of responsibility of the person leading the project is also very high. These conditions are very clear to all industrial powers, including China, who have come to the end of their commercial and private roads

However, there will be sparks in the dark, Wei Keng now belongs to the upper middle of Shenzhou. An existence that is completely different from the current elite education system. With huge social capital conditions, from the perspective of traditional interest groups, we selected unsatisfactory but competent technical leaders, gathered young people who are still energetic, and accomplished such a thing. .

The observation in June not only detected the distribution of the crust and mantle in a radius of 200 kilometers, but also peeked at the shield earth dragon of Kunlun Mountain under the desert basin of the Western Regions - this is the new underground transportation network that West Kunlun is building.

The Kunlun School, its headquarters was originally in the Kunlun Mountains of the Tianshan Mountains, but with the recruitment of the contemporary court and the game of various local schools in China, the "Kunlun School" blossomed. A secondary inheritance system was formed.

~

This is divided into three walls.

The Tianshan Mountains and the Kunlun headquarters are Ziwei Yuan, which is the middle wall of Sanyuan, and it is located in the center of Beitian, so it is also called Zhonggong. (Dare to use this name in ancient times, it is arrogance. As for the contemporary, it is located in the center of Asia, the center of the world island, what's wrong with being positioned as the middle palace?)

The psychic commander inheritance in the mountain base in Xi'an Ridge in Northeast Asia is Taiweiyuan, which is the upper wall of Sanyuan, located in the northeast under Ziweiyuan. In the south of Beidou.

Hengduan Mountain and the southeastern foot of the Himalayas, the Tianshiyuan, the inheritance of the psychic commander, is in the southeast direction below the Ziweiyuan.

~

At this time, he was in the fifth base of Taiweiyuan, Jiuqing base. (That's right, this base is called Jiuqing. Taiwei has 20 star officials. There are 20 bases in Xi'an Ridge, eight of which have been built so far, and the others are to be determined.)

Guan Wenjun took a bullet-shaped shuttle, passed through the underground exclusive express tunnel, and entered the communication hall in the center of the base.

The inside of the hall is semi-elliptical, with the Zhoutian stars on the top and the Yin-Yang, Bagua and Five Elements below. After entering the hall, the stars above flickered, and the positions of the surrounding hexagrams also changed, and optical projection began.

As Taiweiyuan's fifth star official, her psychic level is C (this just corresponds to innate), and the direct power she holds in her hand is a mechanized brigade.

Guan Wenjun's position is quite special now that all the other brothers and sisters have entered the air and sea forces.

The reason for this is that in addition to being a disciple of Kunlun, she is also a disciple of the royal family of the Guan family. The capital of the Guan family must be guarded by ground mechanized troops. After experiencing the unreliable performance of the various envoys, the royal family did not believe in other forces.

And today it was her master who called. It is to ask her to pay attention to a person.

In the process of rapid rotation in the center of the pole map of the Tai Hall, it turned into a chaotic galaxy, and then the earth projection was made on the astrolabe corresponding to the location of the Liangzhou earth as the base point, the cauldron turned upside down on the east side of Jiayu Pass.

After reading the information, Guan Wenjun pondered: "The Wei family really wants to create momentum! But, meet now?"

The projection communication responded: "After a while, I can only confirm that it is a regenerated body. Hey, there should be some will left!"
