The actual control area of the original Petrochemical Alliance, the concept city of Tabuk Province in the northwest of old Saudi Arabia - the first-tier city, "THELINE".
This was once the pride of this country. When fossil energy was still valuable, they spent trillions of federal dollars worth of money to build this city and regarded it as the country's future hope.
However, before the city was completed, the financial crisis broke out, and the first-tier city became the largest unfinished city in the world.
In the plan, THELINE will be a smart linear city starting from the Strait of Tiran in the west to the hinterland of the Arabian Desert in the east, with a total length of 170 kilometers and a width of 200 meters. On both sides, high-rise buildings with a height of 500 meters and reflective curtain walls on the outside will be used as walls.
A megacity expected to house nine million people.
Although it was just a whimsy idea of the Saudi Crown Prince at the beginning, it was built more for the purpose of political show, attracting traffic, and establishing a national image. It did not consider too many practical and social issues, but as long as you have money
Naturally, someone will help you consider other issues.
Designers quickly identified the advantages of linear cities, such as the advantages of linear cities in transportation. The all-weather ultra-high-speed railway system runs day and night in the open space between the two curtain walls. In theory, you can
Reach any point in the city within ten minutes.
There are no ordinary roads prepared for ordinary vehicles here, but the three-dimensional city has prepared highly suitable air passages for the rich, which can facilitate them to take their own floating cars to shuttle to every corner of the city.
The reflective curtain walls on both sides provide an all-weather mild climate inside the building and the two hundred meters in the middle of THELINE. Most of the temperature from the sun is refracted by the reflective curtain walls, and the curtain wall itself will become the largest mirror in the world.
Provide Saudi Arabia with another world-class tourist attraction.
Another important point that needs to be mentioned is that THELINE is an environmentally friendly city. Most of its energy comes from two nuclear power plants, and a quarter of its energy comes from solar energy. The two sides are 170 kilometers long.
The reflective curtain wall itself also reinforces the effect of the solar panels.
But just like other novel ideas of those crown princes, they are good when they are thought up, and they are good when they are drawn into promotional brochures by designers. Only when large sums of money are spent and the construction of the project begins,
Only then will some not-so-good questions be raised.
For example, although the material of the reflective curtain wall can achieve the effect they want, it cannot withstand the devastation of desert storms. In order to maintain the refractive index, they have to completely replace the curtain wall material every three years, and maintain the curtain wall during the entire use process.
Perform intensive maintenance.
The maintenance work itself will consume all the solar energy collected by the curtain wall, and even require electricity subsidies from the city itself, and the groundbreaking linear transportation system has also encountered numerous technical difficulties.
Of course, these are not the most important issues. What really breaks the construction of the prince's dream castle is the corporate war.
When the war ended, the devastated land had ushered in a new owner - the Petrochemical Alliance. Of course they didn't care about smart cities. They were a group of profit-driven capital entities, and everything they did was to maintain the value of fossil energy.
.
THELINE naturally came to a standstill, even though it had completed a full sixty kilometers at that time, and the first batch of 300,000 immigrants had moved to the city to provide more data support for new urban life.
Based on THELINE's avant-garde nature, the Petrochemical Alliance briefly used this city as its headquarters when it was first established. After all, its location was very advantageous and suitable for controlling the Red Sea Strait. However, the rebels only used one explosion to destroy the city.
The new owner understands that THELINE was not built for war.
It is hard to imagine that a city would come to a standstill due to a small explosion, but that is what happened to THELINE. The Petrochemical Alliance abandoned the city, and most of its 300,000 residents soon dispersed.
Less than 100,000 people are left in the city. They use solar energy and the arable area of high-rise buildings to survive, and live a self-sufficient life under the eyes of the Petrochemical Alliance.
But this kind of life has been broken today. It is hard to imagine how curious the players were when they saw THELINE for the first time. So much so that as the new owners of this land, they actually planned to repair it with great fanfare.
and continue to complete the city.
"I've never seen anything so exciting before!" Buck Murdoch, the leader of the Zealots, held a press conference for everyone in the world at the end of the player group, and expressed his willingness to use it at the meeting.
Two generations of free coupons without being harassed by players can be used to recruit aboriginal construction teams to repair and expand THELINE.
This is the first time that players try to have a conversation with aborigines in public. This is a day worth remembering for many people. After all, you can only fight to the death with a group of beasts that cannot communicate, but if the other party is also civilized
creature, you can consider the option of surrender.
The first batch of naturalized people were basically speculators who took risks in order to transcend classes and retaliate against society. But now, with the bidding for the THELINE project, a large number of naturalized people have begun to emerge in the world in order to survive and live a stable life.
.
Compared with the former, the latter are often more determined and more willing to accept their current status.
This is the situation that Mikkelsen prevents. Perseverance has never been a quality of most individuals of the human race. When faced with a war with no chance of winning, they often choose to live in an ignoble existence. This has been the case in countless wars.
Proven.
It's just that they don't understand that this time they didn't bear the humiliation or retreat in order to advance. There is only one chance. When someone plans to retreat, the entire front will collapse.
The fanatic war group's press conference was released through the channel of Puppy Video. Although after liberating the ghosts, they had immediately controlled the software controlled by the pioneers, there were still fanatical converts who took advantage of the opportunity.
The release of this news was completed within the company.
For a time, Zealots and THELINE became new hot search terms. This time, what was originally just a personal whim, became an accelerator for the war to reach a turning point.
The first to react were the Ganges people.
The Ganges people can no longer stand the whippings of General Zay Wangchuck. They have long been accustomed to being dominated and colonized by others. Now it is really not a big deal for them to change their masters, but this kind of rotation is being dominated by the most vicious people in the world.
The days of being attacked by biological and chemical weapons and being bombarded repeatedly by nuclear bombs are really unbearable.
Therefore, in response to the call of the Zealots, the Ganges people held a peace march in the non-occupied areas. Hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets to demand that the coalition stop the war and return the Ganges to the Ganges people. They wanted
Survive without dignity!
Furthermore, the remaining members of the military government directly demanded that the coalition forces get out of the Ganges River. The Ganges River belongs to the Ganges people and they do not need the intervention of the coalition forces.
If the former still has a sense of grievance in order to survive, then the latter is completely selfish. In their view, no matter who rules India, someone needs to help manage it, since facts have proven that they cannot be independent.
If they manage this country well, they can take the initiative to choose a new master.
After all, Mikkelsen is an old guy who has lived since the Cold War. He still has a deep memory of how the Ganges people fought for independence, so he made corresponding preparations in advance.
He hastily completed the phased array nuclear explosion devices in the Ganges area just to prevent this trick.
Sure enough, after the demonstration asking the coalition forces to get out, the Ganges people gave General Zay Wangchuk a show of non-violent non-cooperation and pretended to be dead. Except for the troops fighting defensively at the Wall of Sighs, all the Ganges armed forces
It fell into a state of shutdown and no longer responded to the orders of the coalition forces.
What's more, a branch of the Nehelu Gandi family came forward to appeal. In order to promote mutual understanding and mutual prosperity between humans and players, the Ganges people should take the initiative to help respond to the needs of the players and go to Saudi Arabia to repair the old land.
THELINE, complete that miracle city as a testimony of friendship between humans and players.
As soon as this news came out, countless Gangesians rushed to sign up, hoping to get a spot and protect themselves and two generations from worry.
If history is a circle, then the circle of Nihelu Gandi's family is too round, almost following the trajectory of their ancestors all over again.
"Do you need help?" Tang Ji rarely took the initiative to offer help. After all, in his opinion, purging the bloodline of Emperor Nihelu Gan was also the purification of human civilization.
"It's meaningless. If a fool dies, thousands of fools will stand up. Since the end of the corporate war, the concept of the country has been eliminated from the civilized level and replaced by capital entities. You can count on all
Do people fight to the end for this reason?" Mikkelsen, who was accompanying Tang Ji in Minnesota to complete the enchantment of the 764th phased array nuclear explosive device, shook his head.
Mikkelsen is telling the truth. Looking at the world, the main forces resisting players are the Federation and the European Union, but the Federation is now completely under the military technology group, or to put it another way, it is under the strong constraints of Mikkelsen
Fighting with players.
Mikkelsen relies on the influence and control brought by his more than 4,000 clone branches at all levels to carry the entire federation to fight this war. This is also based on the fact that he uses Tangji as a threat to coerce those congressmen.
, the general did not dare to make unnecessary moves.
As for the European Union, because the top management moved too quickly and too cleanly, there was even a power vacuum. The Prophet took the opportunity to step in and put the Ark Organization on the head of the European Union, making it impossible for them to get off the ship.
What's interesting is that as the actual controller of the Ark organization, Wang Zhengdao actually borrowed Tang Ji as a backing to make the newly appointed politicians obedient, either to see Tang Ji or to cooperate and wait for Mikol
There is no third way to go.
As for other political entities such as the Northern Slavic Federation, the African Union, etc., they played more of a role in this war that I tried not to hold back, and further down, like the Ganges, I failed anyway.
, it’s up to you, whether you want to help me or not, I’m a dragging teammate who will surrender to the enemy if you don’t help me.
To truly talk about a political entity that has both the will to fight and the ability to fight, looking around the world, Mikkelsen can only find one regional organization like District 13.
The people of District 13 have long been accustomed to this kind of life due to their special historical reasons. For them, the great changes in the world are just moving from one pit to another, and the enemy has changed from Gauls to players.
, to talk about the impact of the war on them, Mikkelsen could only be surprised to find that their morale seemed to have improved a lot.
After all, not only can they now go shopping in Paris with their chests held high, but they can also arrogantly take in those Gallic wastes.
As for players, that's another story.
A few days ago, Boyer Taha obtained a Greedy Blood potion with uncertain capabilities through some channels. This thing has become increasingly rare with the increasing number of players recently, but as a member of the Taha Gang,
Leader, if Boyle wants it, he can get it.
Both Philip and Marvolo have advised him that this is an era of superhuman beings. If he awakens to become a superhuman earlier, he can better lead the Taha Gang.
Boyer Taha regretted not awakening earlier, which led to the death of Marvolo Taha. He died in a mission to respond to a federal agent team.
To be fair, Mavolo Taha has no complaints against Mikkelsen and the others. This is a war, and it is natural to die in a war. However, the Federation and the Ark organization have been operating too frequently in Gaul recently. The Taha Gang
The soldiers are under tremendous pressure.
Boyer Taha only knew that they must have a big plan. Those people had previously transported a lot of supplies to the player-occupied areas through the channels of the Taha Gang, but they had always kept it secret from the Taha Gang. This made Boyer somewhat a little bit confused.
Displeased.
Looking at the Greedy Blood potion on the table, Boyle took a deep breath, and in the presence of Philip and several other senior Taha gang officials, he inserted the potion into his heart.
He is too old, and his body has begun to become a burden on his will. Now Boyle needs his body to be twenty years younger to better support his will to lead the Taha Gang and lead District 13 out of a bright future at this critical time.
road.
So, give me a good awakening!
Maybe it was Boyle's will that brought the bonus, maybe it was the potion that was blessed by Mr. Good Luck. When Boyle lost consciousness and woke up again, he also became a superhuman, and he was still at the original LV2 stage [
A carrier of the ability to recover from cancer.
Theoretically speaking, this ability perfectly suits the needs of the Taha Gang and Boyle himself. If nothing happens, even the young man Philip may die of old age, but he will not die, but the busy gang affairs will also follow.
Coming——
"Boyle, we found an unconscious middle-aged man in the warehouse. You have to come and see. He ate our supplies for half a year by himself."
