Looking back in time, we arrived at the end of the 160s, the Conqueror Zone, the first place in the world to break through the prison. At this time, the focus of work was on taking over the human settlements in the north and rebuilding civilization.
Judging from the map, the straight-line distance between the Hanzhong Basin and the Guanzhong Basin is only two hundred kilometers, and the Jingxiang Basin and the hinterland of the Central Plains are also separated by more than one hundred kilometers.
And this line that continues to the north is the Qinling Mountains, the famous north-south dividing line on the second ladder on the Chinese topographic map. (Generalized division method.)
In October of the 161st year of the Pandora Calendar, at the transition between autumn and winter, when there was early frost and noon dryness, a raging fire broke out on the mountains more than 600 kilometers from Hanzhong to Xiangyang. This may be a super fire that has never been recorded in human history.
On October 4, after it was determined in the weather forecast that the air pressure and wind speed in the area met the conditions, the commanding area dispatched 600 aircraft sorties and dropped incendiary bombs at multiple locations.
In just a few hours, the entire mountain range turned into purgatory. Hundreds of thousands of square kilometers were covered with burning dust. Countless creatures in the nodes of the vast biome were struggling painfully with their tentacles in the flames.
The arthropods were wailing, and the weird smells secreted by various plants and animals in the jungle disappeared at this time, replaced by a scorched lake.
Due to the intense heat released, after the surface vegetation was burned out, the asphalt roads that were originally submerged under the thick layer of silt and were laid before the Great Disaster burst into flames under the heat. When cleaning up after the fire,
A carbon trail trace can be seen.
This fire completely emptied this large ecological area, and even spread to the Guanzhong Basin and the Central Plains that need to be entered in the clearing area.
Mountain fires are terrifying. They pour from the mountain to the foot of the mountain and can slowly advance even if there is headwind. The "superoxide ion torch" hanging down from the transport plane passing by in the sky can rekindle the flames inside after it has been ashes.
Mr. Wei sat on the plane and watched the "super oxidation" combustion. It was like going back to the junior high school chemistry experiment where red-hot charcoal was put into pure oxygen and re-ignited. Oh, that thing is more fun than firecrackers. And the current scene on the earth is like this.
The scene should be similar, but bigger and more exciting.
When the pure oxygen radiation started, only the green smoke was left on the scorched earth. Suddenly, the green smoke disappeared within a circular range of more than a thousand meters. The scorched earth was originally about to extinguish the rising sparks, and then the black charcoal turned into a
A piece of "orange burning charcoal" area. This scale is that the combustion penetrates twenty centimeters underground!

On the 25th, the typhoon that came from the Pacific Ocean forced the subtropical high back. The fires that came in the past few days produced a large amount of particulate matter and provided condensation. A heavy rain finally fell like sweet rain.
The community organisms here blocked the burning zone by pushing the soil, and contained the fire to the dividing lines of several water systems, trying to prevent the advancement of human forces.
The unification of the area did not end after the fire was set. Since then, the unification army has successfully completed the control of two-thirds of the Qinling Mountains, from the Han River to Jingxiang, and this line has advanced towards the northern line.
With the advancement of military power, only two to thirty thousand people may be needed to wipe out all the biomes around the Guanzhong Plain and provide resistance.
However, as the unified area entered the Guanzhong Plain, it officially began to compete with the Five Color Alliance.
The Five-Color Alliance is distributed along the Yellow River system. The Hexi Corridor, the Hetao area, and the Taihang Mountains are all the core areas of the Five-Color Alliance.
Due to the lack of water in the north, the ecological community is no longer strong. There are only five human social groups living in the Guanzhong Plain. In the past, they were dependent on the Five Color Alliance. But now there are new choices.

In November, after the fire.
The conquered area crossed many mountains in the south and came to the birthplace of the early Chinese civilization.
Wei Keng said to his successors in the conquered area: It is equivalent to going to Beijing to take the exam. Since ancient times, many southern dynasties have tried to expand northward, but they have stopped here.
If after entering the conquered area, but unable to settle down deeply here, and the situation evolves into the stalemate of the Five Dynasties, Ten Kingdoms, and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, then we will become a historical sinner.
The current decision-makers in the unified control area are all historical materialists. They will never admit that the "dragon spirit of the world" can be divided into two halves.
Wei Keng noted in the system: The objective historical reason for the coexistence of the Southern and Northern Dynasties was that there was a huge regional cultural gap, and neither regime was able to integrate this contradiction, nor was it determined to resolve it from the governance level.
Especially in the Southern Dynasties, due to the distance from the center, many policies were crudely issued and promoted in the north, causing huge acclimatization. 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 harvests, mountain forest resources, and even water conservancy and transportation in the south are different from those in the north.
Agricultural production areas in the south have lower management costs than those in the north based on population.
The loss of a single packhorse transportation is different from the loss of water transportation in the south. The Southern Dynasty habitually used the people's resources in the south to use them in the north. Oh, then it would be impossible to govern.
Therefore, it is necessary to relocate the capital. The current command area does not understand the situation in the north. Hengyang is naturally far away from the people of the north due to its geographical location. Moreover, since there is a shortage of people in the north, it is now impossible to recruit grassroots cadres from the north to serve in the center.
Policy coordination. (During the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang held the imperial examination. Even if the north could not pass the exam in the south, the northern scholars would still be arranged. This is the method of maintaining a unified system.)
What will happen if the center is separated from the grassroots in each place?
In recent times, gentlemen in the imperial capital have increased their assets by relying on real estate, and relying on educational resources alone have allowed the best talents from outside the country to continuously pour in. It is difficult for media people here to realize that "it's hard to find a job and it's hard to chase girls."
"How difficult is it to work hard?" The question was answered with an irritating tone such as "No way."
It is impossible to expect the people in the center to go back to the countryside. From the dry shore to the dire straits, one can only be aware of the problem, but not determined to solve the problem. Because as long as they return to the dry shore, individuals and small groups will not have to face the problem.
to the problem.
Only by relaunching the entire central group can the vitality of its rule be restored.
Historical reference: Other ancient civilizations at the same time as the Shang Dynasty were extremely prosperous, with wine, sewers, and public baths, and then were destroyed immediately after a wave of prosperity. The Shang Dynasty continued to prosper, with several declines and prosperity for five hundred years, and finally
Faced with the overwhelming opposition of Aryans in the world, he is full of martial virtue.
At the center of the command zone, the crew faction still holds the decision-making power. In recent years, it has absorbed many organization personnel from Yishui. These people who came from the grassroots level in Yishui have now gradually formed a team of personnel heading north in the center.
There is no obstacle to the northward strategy.
When the Qinling Fire was completed, the decision to move the Hengyang Center to Hanshui had been made. The related work was taken over by Wei Keng, the all-purpose transfer team, and was already in the process of waiting for the handover.
Tens of thousands of people in administration, as well as various economic planning and military decision-making departments, are already preparing to pack up and head north.
Transportation, as well as production, are all being prepared for this second northward march.

This great migration will definitely become a profound historical memory.
In Hengyang, Tongfu District, Zhao Feng was filling out the form for his trip north at the train station. Each task 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, but he and his friends were on the train, which was very rare at the time.
Have fun and run back and forth.
The train often stopped. When the adults and brother Wei Keng were outside dealing with the giant beasts killed along the way, they sat inside the glass window and watched their father operating the machine cannon to fight the monsters.
Oh, that was really a childhood worth remembering. More than ten years have passed, and the boys have grown up. Now, they are starting to migrate again. The technology in the unified felling area today is already more advanced than it was ten years ago.
too much.
For example, the trains at that time only provided canned food and instant noodles, and occasionally they could only give out some sugar water.
Now, all carriages have specially prepared cooking areas. There are all kinds of dishes, from kung pao pork cubes, to fried tomatoes with eggs, and Sixi dumplings.
And there is also a virtual game room built with a carbon-based helmet.
In Zhao Feng's words, the children in Hengyang today are much happier than they were back then. Of course, the only thing that has not changed is Wei Keng's "brother". (Just like in the 1990s, there would be one or two one-on-ones in children's programs.
For the whole generation, Wei Keng has a great influence on the new generation in the control area.)
Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Feng stood on the platform. The queue he was in was a production and construction camp composed of 243 members of the colonial mecha operating team. They all wore helmets at this time.
Wei Keng was introducing to them the functions of the latest colonial armor.
In the introduction in the language of the mind. Not in the order of ordinary language.
This is not a catalog index system for everyday books. In a three-dimensional perspective, it is a knowledge tree diagram system from far to near. Therefore, when introducing it, the order of dialogue with each person is different.
Taking Zhao Feng as an example, his priority is the power configuration.
What you see when you open it is forty-five official carbon-based radiation towers along the railway. The mecha can quickly tune to these official carbon-based radiation towers and directly absorb energy.
Of course, if you can't find the official carbon-based tower, you can also find biological nodes to recharge.
Today's human dog-leg nodes obtain valuable proteins from the human industrial sector, and then exchange frequency bands with the surrounding plant communities. Therefore, when the mecha needs energy, it can also borrow energy from these "nodes".
It's just that this process is quite difficult. Compared with the official broadcast towers erected by humans, individuals have to record the frequency bands of these biological nodes along the way, just like "reciting the full text of a thousand-word text" in elementary school.
The thousands of nodes marked by Wei Keng are thousands of energy sources that can be temporarily obtained.
Zhao Feng looked at the densely packed natural nodes on the map and asked, "Our ecological nodes have been deployed. There should be no dangers along the way, right?"
Wei Keng pointed out to this little naughty guy: "The Qinling Mountains have just been reset. It's not clear whether the local biomes have counterattacked. You need to be responsible for observing along the way. Moreover, the danger does not only come from the ecology, we are heading north this time."
Arrive in the north. Other city-state forces are also moving here, so be prepared if you don’t know their attitude."
"Oh." Zhao Feng had no choice but to admit his mistake after being exposed that he was trying to be lazy.
Mr. Wei has not let him go yet: "For these frequency bands, you must complete the frequency band docking of 500 natural nodes. Don't try to find nodes with simple frequency for docking. If I see significant coverage holes in your frequency area, I will still
Add! Remember, I will focus on training you." The so-called focused training means focused inspection.
Zhao Feng opened his mouth. Wei Keng was no longer his immediate boss, he was just an instructor, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
From childhood to adulthood, from kindergarten to university, I have been brought up by this "brother Wei Keng". Now I am simply suppressed by my natural elders.
Relatedly, the second center of the unified expedition area moved northward, which brought huge shocks to the north.
Especially for the young people who have grown up in the Five-Color Alliance in the past ten years. Today's unified control area cannot be compared with ten years ago. The policy of moving the center to the north ten years ago has made the unified control area no longer a southern coastal force. Over the past ten years, we have made great achievements.
, constantly making adjustments on key strategies, proving that the entire southern country has been conquered.
And now! It has stepped into the north. And with the credibility of fulfilling its promise, it has impacted. This is a magnificent impact on the people of the North.
The Five Color Alliance and Jianye have been secretly competing for hundreds of years. Each side is content with its two major water systems and cannot do anything to the other. They also know that it is difficult for their influence to penetrate into the core area of the other side. They can only maintain their relationship through communication and alliances.
But the Conqueror Zone is a different opponent. From beginning to end, the strategy is not constrained by the 'geographic center'.
This cannot be said to be south versus north or west versus east.
Just like the fighting force that established the first center in Ruijing in modern times. It was a standard southern origin geographically, but its decision-making did not have regional characteristics.
~
After receiving the signal that the center of the unified expedition area was migrating to the north, some young people from the Five-Color Alliance began to become restless and quietly rushed to the Guanzhong Plain. Of course, it was not for the Five-Color Alliance to stop the unified expedition area. Although it may be so in name.
After all, you have to find a justifiable excuse for the people in the Five Color Alliance to get resources.
But in fact, they recognized this as an opportunity.
The trains in the unification area were heading north, while a group of tractor teams in the Five-Color Alliance were burning precious fuel and heading south.
Chen Changluo is the leader of this group of teams.
In the city-state near Lishan Mountain, he looked to the south and took a deep breath: "I hope I can see the flames rekindled in my lifetime."
Standing next to Chen Changluo was Peng Haitao. As soon as this time traveler stepped into the north, he got together with the youth groups of the Five Color Alliance. He originally wanted to conquer the giant beast, but in the end he still implemented the strategy of conquering outside the territory.
Peng Haitao took the information and said to Chen Changluo: "The strategy of unifying the area is to sweep the ecological zone in these two years. They have no shortage of materials. They also have no shortage of technology. But they need information from the area."
Now Peng Haitao is completely committed to the strategy of his seniors in this plane.
All mechanical beasts are monopolized by the upper levels. Just like Wei Keng back then, after being hot-faced and cold-butted in front of these nobles, Peng Haitao was extremely annoyed, and the system did not forget to tease him, "You know, seniors in the south are
I'll get used to you."
Peng Haitao realized that it was impossible for his own class to come into contact with the mechanical beasts, and the only way was to overthrow the Five Color Alliance.
~
These newly separated youth organizations within the Five Color Alliance have actually existed for a long time.
When the top leaders within the Five Color Alliance used the slogan "For the Yellow River" to gather the will of the youth, this will was also anxious about the stiffness and inaction of the upper leadership of the Five Color Alliance.
This anxiety was suppressed in the past because no second replacement could be found.
Jianye in the south belongs to the city-state group. After many exchanges, as early as 20 years ago, the reformists of the Five Color Alliance felt that the south was not a hope for restoring civilization.
Until the emergence of the Conqueror Zone further south, the reformists actually did not pay much attention to the Conqueror Zone at first. Because in various initial perceptions, the Conqueror Zone was a force influenced by humanoid apostles. This force
, should be a force that is authoritarian and controlled by the human-like apostle's mind.
Pride and prejudice are difficult to change for a while.
It was not until the Yucheng forces in the south were directly driven away by the unification zone that the young people of the Five Color Alliance felt that they should re-understand the unification zone for the first time.
You must know that the Five Color Alliance collided with the forces of Chongqing three times in the 35th, 74th and 99th years of Pandora's history. However, they were defeated by Chongqing 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 move south from the west. They knew how terrifying these humanoid creatures in Yucheng were, but now they were run away by the command area.
Already.
Although they have not directly changed their impression that the Tongfa District is controlled by "humanoid apostles", they have begun to feel that the "humanoid apostles" in the Tongfa District may have a better attitude towards humans.
Until the impression was completely changed, it was still the struggle in the Yishui area for the past ten years. A large number of ordinary people in the eastern city-states were organized.
Moreover, a large number of genetic polluters repaired their genetic status after contact with the "same-looking" human. The Five Color Alliance directly learned about the "human male" apostle from a large number of channels.
This "human group" can indeed influence humans through the mind. For example, during the adjustment process of a genetic adjuster, it almost exists in the adjuster's mind from all directions, providing encouragement and prompts.
However, the biggest difference between this "human apostle" and the "chief spirit" in Yucheng is that he has the determination to "kick his son out of the house".
After all the adjusters successfully restored human genes, or to be precise, they brought the genes of this "human apostle" with them. All mind control was resolutely cut off.
Even later, he even gave up the power to directly lead mankind, and was said to be peacefully doing the final inheritance in factories, science and technology departments, and education.
The more we communicate and understand, the fear begins to dissipate and we begin to try to understand each other.
The young people of the Five Colors Alliance are a little curious about the "Brother Wei Keng" whom the new generation in the command area calls "Brother Wei Keng".
