Out of the cage

Going back in time, we came to the end of 160, the logging area. The first place in the world to break through the cage. At this time, the focus of work is to take over the human settlements in the north and reconstruct civilization.

From the map, the straight-line distance between Hanzhong Basin and Guanzhong Basin is only 200 kilometers, and Jingxiang Basin is more than 100 kilometers away from the hinterland of the Central Plains.

And this line that continues to the north is the Qinling Mountains, the famous north-south dividing line on the second step of the topographic map of China. (Broad division method.)

In October of the 161st year of the Pandora calendar, at the turn of autumn and winter, early frost and dry season, a raging fire ignited on the mountains of more than 600 kilometers from Hanzhong to Xiangyang. This may be a super fire that has not been recorded in human history.

On October 4th, after the weather forecast determined that the air pressure and wind speed of the area met the conditions, 600 aircraft sorties were dispatched to the unified logging area, and incendiary bombs were dropped at multiple locations.

In just a few hours, the entire mountain became a purgatory. There are belts of burning dust floating on hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Countless biome node creatures with great supernatural powers struggled painfully with their tentacles and limbs in the flames, wailing, and the strange smell secreted by various plants and animals in the jungle disappeared at this moment, replaced by a burnt one.

Due to the intense heat released, when the surface plants burned out, the asphalt roads that were submerged under the thick layer of sand and laid before the Great Destruction burst into flames under the heat. When cleaning up after the fire, a trace of carbon road can be seen.

The fire completely emptied this large ecological area, and even spread to the Guanzhong Basin and the Central Plains where the unified logging area needs to enter.

The wildfire is terrifying. It flows from the mountain to the foot of the mountain, and even the headwind can slowly advance. The "superoxide ion torch" hanging down from the transport plane in the sky can also rekindle the flame inside the ashes.

Mr. Wei sat on the plane and watched the "super-oxidation" combustion, just like returning to the junior high school chemistry experiment, the scene of putting red hot charcoal in pure oxygen to re-ignite. But the current scene on the earth is similar, but bigger and more intense.

When the pure oxygen emission started, on the scorched earth where only the green smoke was left, the smoke disappeared within a circle of thousands of meters, and the sparks that were going to be extinguished rose up on the scorched earth, and then the black charcoal turned into a cloud. A piece of "orange burning charcoal" area. This scale is to penetrate the burning to 20 centimeters underground!

On the 25th, the typhoon that came along with the Pacific Ocean pushed back the subtropical high. The fires that came over the past few days produced a lot of particles and provided condensation. A heavy rain finally fell like rain.

Here biomes block the burn zone by pushing the soil. Contain the fire within several water system dividing lines. Trying to stop the advancement of human forces.

The unified cutting area did not end after setting fire to it. Since the First World War, the unified cutting army has successfully completed the control of two-thirds of the Qinling Mountains. From Hanshui to Jingxiang, this line is advancing towards the northern line.

The advancement of military power may only require 20,000 to 30,000 people to wipe out all the biomes around the Guanzhong Plain and provide resistance.

However, when the unified logging area entered the Guanzhong Plain, it also officially began to compete with the Five Colors Alliance.

The five-color alliance is distributed along the Yellow River system, and the Hexi Corridor, the Hetao area, and the Taihang Mountains are all the core areas of the five-color alliance.

Due to lack of water in the north, the ecological community is no longer strong. There are only five human social groups living on the Guanzhong Plain, and they used to be attached to the Five Colors Alliance. And now there are new options.

In November, when the fire passed.

The unified logging area crossed the mountains in the south and came to the birthplace of the early Chinese civilization.

Wei Keng said to his heirs in the commanding area: It is equivalent to going to Beijing to take the exam. Since ancient times, how many southern dynasties tried to expand northward, but they all stopped here.

If after entering the unified cutting area, but unable to settle here deeply, then if the situation turns into a stalemate of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it will become a historical sinner.

The current decision makers in the unified logging area are all historical materialists. I will never admit that the "Dragon Qi of the World" is divided into two halves.

Wei Keng commented in the system: The historical objective reason for the coexistence of the Northern and Southern Dynasties is that the regional and cultural gaps are huge.

Especially in the Southern Dynasties, due to the distance from the center, many policies were brutally issued and promoted in the north, causing huge dissatisfaction with the environment. In the end, they could only rely on remote control of the northern warlords to maintain the extremely weak imperial power.

You must know that the farming harvest, mountain and forest resources, and even water conservancy and transportation in the south are different from those in the north.

The agricultural production areas in the south are calculated according to the population, and the governance cost is a little lower than that in the north.

The loss of a single pack horse transportation is different from the loss of water transportation in the south. The Southern Dynasties habitually used the method of absorbing the resources of the people in the south to use them in the north. Oh, then there is no governance.

So relocation is necessary. The current unified logging area does not understand the situation in the north. Hengyang is naturally out of the way of the people in the north in terms of geographical location, and because the north is short of people, it is impossible to coordinate the policy by mobilizing grassroots cadres from the north to work in the center. (When Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, when the imperial examination was held, even if the north could not pass the exam in the south, he still had to arrange Jinshi from the north. This method of maintaining a unified system was adopted.)

What will happen if the center is separated from the local grassroots?

In ancient times, the masters of the imperial capital increased their assets by relying on real estate alone, and the best talents from other places poured in continuously by relying on educational resources alone. It is difficult for the media people here to notice the problems of "it's hard to find a job", "it's hard to chase after girls", and "it's hard to work hard", and they say "no way" in a provocative tone.

It is also unacceptable to expect the personnel of the center to go to the countryside again. Entering the dire straits from the dry shore can only be aware of the problem, but there is no determination to solve the problem. Because as long as they return to the dry shore, individuals and small groups will not have to face problems.

Only by relaunching the entire central group can the ruling vitality be restored.

Historical reference: Other ancient civilizations at the same time as the Shang Dynasty were extremely prosperous, with wine, sewers, and public bathrooms, and then they were destroyed immediately after a wave of prosperity. The Shang Dynasty continued to prosper, and it declined and prospered for five hundred years, and finally faced the world's bullying of Aryan, with abundant martial arts.

In the center of the unified logging area, the crew still controls the decision-making power. In recent years, it has absorbed many organizational personnel from Yishui.

There is no obstacle to the northward strategy.

When the Qinling fire was completed, the decision to relocate the center of Hengyang to Hanshui was made. The related work has entered the process of waiting for the handover as Wei Keng, an all-round transfer team, took over.

The administration of tens of thousands of people, as well as various economic planning and military decision-making departments, are all ready to pack up and head north.

Transportation, as well as production, are all preparing for this second northward march.

This great migration will definitely become a profound historical memory.

In Hengyang, the control area, Zhao Feng was filling out the form for this trip to the north at the train station. The tasks kept him busy eating sweets, but he didn't complain, it just brought back his memories.

He was born in the Xinzhu area. When he was a child, he remembered the process of moving across thousands of miles. On the train, the adults were busy coming and going, while he and his friends had fun and ran back and forth on the train that was very rare at that time.

The train often stopped, and when the adults and Brother Wei Keng were dealing with the giant beasts killed along the way, they sat inside the glass window and watched Dad operate the machine gun to fight the monsters.

Oh, that was really a memorable childhood. After more than ten years, the former boys have grown up. Now, it's time to start migrating again. The technology in today's unified logging area is much more advanced than it was ten years ago.

For example, the train at that time only served canned food and instant noodles, and occasionally only some sugar water.

Now, every carriage has a specially prepared cooking area. From kung pao diced meat, to scrambled tomatoes with eggs, Sixi dumplings, there are all kinds of dishes.

And there is a virtual game room built with carbon-based helmets.

In Zhao Feng's words, the children in Hengyang today are much happier than they were back then. Of course the only thing that hasn't changed is Wei Keng's "brother". (Just like in the 1990s, one or two children's programs would appear as uncles and sisters to a whole generation. Wei Keng had a great influence on the new generation in the unified cutting area.)

Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Feng was standing on the platform, and his queue was a production and construction battalion composed of 243 members of the colonization mech operation team. They all put on their helmets at this time.

Wei Keng was introducing to them the functions of the latest colony armor.

In the introduction in the language of the mind. Not the order of ordinary language.

This is not the catalog index system of daily books, but in a three-dimensional perspective, it is a knowledge tree diagram system from far to near. So during the introduction, the order of dialogue with each person is different.

Taking Zhao Feng as an example, his priority is the power configuration.

When I opened it, I saw forty-five official carbon-based radiation towers along the railway. The mech could quickly tune to these official carbon-based radiation towers to directly absorb energy.

Of course, if you can't find an official carbon-based tower, you can also find a biological node to recharge.

Now, the dog-leg sub-node of human is to obtain the valuable protein from the industrial department of human, and then exchange the frequency band with the surrounding plant community. So when the mecha needs energy, it can also find these "nodes" to borrow energy.

It’s just that this process is quite difficult. Compared with the official broadcasting towers established by humans, these biological node frequency bands along the way must be recorded personally, just like a “thousand-character text full-text recitation” in elementary school.

The thousands of nodes marked by Wei Keng are thousands of energy sources that can be obtained temporarily.

Looking at the densely packed natural nodes on the map, Zhao Feng asked, "Our ecological nodes have already been deployed, so there shouldn't be any danger along the way, right?"

Wei Keng pointed out to this little slippery head: "The Qinling Mountains have just been reset. It is not clear whether the local biome will counterattack. You need to be responsible for observation along the way. Moreover, the danger does not only come from ecology. Our northward march this time Arrive in the north. Other city-state forces are also acting here, and when you don't know their attitude, be prepared."

"Oh." Zhao Feng, who was punctured for wanting to be lazy, could only admit his mistake.

Master Wei has not let him go: "For these frequency bands, you must complete the frequency band docking of 500 natural nodes, do not try to find frequent and simple node docking. If I see significant coverage holes in your frequency area, I will add Remember, I will focus on training you." ——The so-called key training means focusing on inspection.

Zhao Feng opened his mouth. Currently Wei Keng is no longer his immediate boss, he is just an instructor, but after thinking about it, forget it.

From childhood to adulthood, from kindergarten to university, he was brought up by this "Brother Wei Keng", and now it is simply a natural suppression by the elders.

Relatedly, the center of the unified cutting area moved northward for the second time, which brought huge shocks to the north.

Especially for the young people who have grown up in the Five Colors League in the past ten years. Today's unified logging area is incomparable with that of ten years ago. Ten years ago, the policy of relocating the center to the north made the unified logging area no longer a southern coastal force. Over the past ten years, he has accumulated a lot of money and made continuous adjustments in key strategies, which proves that he has completed the unification of the entire southern country.

And now! Stepped into the north. And with the reputation of having fulfilled the promise, he rushed over. This is a magnificent shock to the hearts of the people in the Northland.

The Five-Color Alliance and Jianye have been secretly competing for hundreds of years, and each side is content with its own two major water systems, unable to do anything to the other. Everyone knows that it is difficult for one's own influence to penetrate into the opponent's core area. Relationships can only be maintained through communication and alliances.

But the unified cutting area is a different opponent. From the beginning to the end, the strategy is not constrained by the "geographical center".

This cannot be said to be south to north, west to east.

It's like the fighting force that established the first center from Ruijing in ancient times. Geographically, it originated from the standard south, but the decision-making did not bring regional characteristics.

~

After receiving the signal from the central logging area to move north, some young people from the Five Colors Alliance became agitated, and they quietly rushed to the Guanzhong Plain. Of course it wasn't for the five-color alliance to block the logging area. Although this may be said in name, after all, it is necessary to find a plausible excuse for the top of the Five Colors Alliance in order to obtain resources.

But in fact, they are looking for, this is an opportunity.

The trains in the unified logging area headed north, while a group of tractor teams in the Five Colors Alliance headed south burning precious fuel.

Chen Changluo is the leader of this group of teams.

In the city-state near Mount Li, he looked to the south, took a deep breath and said, "May I see the flame rekindled in my lifetime."

Standing beside Chen Changluo was Peng Haitao, a traveler who mixed with the youth groups of the Five Colors Alliance as soon as he stepped into the north. He originally wanted to engage in giant beasts, but in the end he still carried out the strategy of unification outside the territory.

Holding the information, Peng Haitao said to Chen Changluo: "The strategy of the unified logging area is to sweep up the ecological area in the next two years. They don't lack materials, and they don't lack technology. But they need information from this area."

Now Peng Haitao's strategy for the seniors who are still on this plane is dead set.

All mechanical beasts are monopolized by the upper echelon, just like Wei Keng back then, after showing their hot faces and cold butts in front of these nobles. Peng Haitao was extremely annoyed, and the system did not forget to tease him, "I know, the seniors in the south are so used to you."

Peng Haitao realized that it is impossible for his own class to come into contact with mechanical beasts, the only way to overthrow the five-color alliance.

These youth organizations that were newly branched out from within the Five Colors Alliance have actually existed for a long time.

When the high-level members of the Five-color Alliance use the slogan "For the Yellow River" to gather the will of the youth, this will also feel anxious about the rigidity and inaction of the upper-level members of the Five-color Alliance.

This anxiety was suppressed in the past because there was no alternative.

Jianye in the south belongs to the city-state group. After many exchanges, as early as 20 years ago, the reformers of the Five Colors Alliance felt that the south was not the hope of restoring civilization.

Until the emergence of the unified logging area in the south, in fact, the reformers did not pay attention to the unified logging area at the beginning. Because in various initial perceptions, the unified cutting area is a force influenced by humanoid apostles. This force should be authoritarian and controlled by the thought of that human-like apostle.

Pride and prejudice are hard to change for a while.

It wasn't until the Yucheng forces in the south were directly beaten away by the unified cutting area that the youths of the Five Colors Alliance felt that they should re-understand the unified cutting area for the first time.

You must know that the Five Colors Alliance collided with the Yucheng forces three times in the 35th, 74th, and 99th years of Pandora's history. And Yucheng was frustrated three times.

The three battles destroyed the vitality accumulated by the five-color alliance in the west three times, and also destroyed the strategic determination of the five-color alliance to try to go south from the west. They knew how terrifying this group of humanoid creatures in Yucheng was, but now they were run away by the logging area.

Although they haven't directly changed the impression that the unified logging area is controlled by "humanoid apostles", they have begun to feel that the "humanoid apostles" in the unified logging area may have a better attitude towards humans.

Until the impression is completely changed, it is still the struggle of the Yishui area in the past ten years. A large number of ordinary people in the eastern city-states were organized.

Moreover, a large number of genetic polluters have restored their genetic status after contacting that "same-looking" human being. The Five Colors Alliance learned about the "human male" apostle directly from a large number of channels.

This "human group" can indeed influence human beings through the mind. For example, during the adjustment process of a genetic adjuster, almost all aspects exist in the adjuster's brain, providing encouragement and reminders.

But~ the biggest difference between this "human apostle" and the "shouling" in Yucheng is that he has a kind of determination to "drive his son out of the house".

After all the adjusters successfully restored the human genes, to be precise, they brought the genes of this "human apostle". All mind control was decisively cut off.

Even later, even the power to directly lead human beings was given up, but it is said that it is safe to do the final inheritance in factories, technology departments, and education.

The more the exchange understands, the fear begins to dissipate gradually, and an attempt to understand each other begins.

The youths of the Five Colors Alliance are a little curious about the "Brother Wei Keng" that the new generation in the commanding area is talking about.
