In the year 2202 of the Qin Dynasty, the entire Western Economic Union knitted together the prototype of an industrial cycle in the Western Region. A foundation that could enable tens of millions of people to function as a society was being born.
In the past, the vast western region could not develop because of the lack of some core elements. However, large-scale infrastructure can be integrated.
The plateau environment is fragile. Although there is no shortage of water, as the upstream of all water sources in China, heavy industries such as ore washing and coking that may produce three wastes must not be developed. However, the local energy reserves are quite abundant.
It is also a thermal boiler that never burns out. Compared with nuclear energy, hot dry rock is safer and pollution-free. The difficulty that limits its development is the high investment in early geological survey, large water consumption, and the need for a large amount of power storage.
Infrastructure.
Wei Keng guided the detailed geological data on the roof of the world based on the main world (cheating). The eighteen hot dry rock wells drilled by the Western Economic Union burst out abundant energy, and the entire plateau area became an energy exporter.
.
Here in the Western Region, in addition to features such as solar energy and abundant mineral resources, the focus of the Western Economic Union's plan is agriculture.
[As a person who lived once in the 27th century, it is impossible for Wei Keng to be superstitious about such a large-scale Russian-style reckless project with too many uncontrollable factors such as the Tibetan Shui River in Xinjiang. Natural river water bodies all contain
Soluble salts. Evaporation in the Western Regions is still greater than precipitation. Extensive irrigation for several years will only dry out the land, resulting in saline-alkali land where poplar trees cannot grow.]
According to the data in the main world, the solution for agriculture in the Western Regions is the comprehensive utilization of water sources.
All crops are grown in metal and plastic greenhouses. This technology can use drip irrigation and precisely controlled planting techniques to reduce water evaporation.
During the day, the water vapor produced by plant photosynthesis is directly introduced into areas with lower underground temperatures through air exchange, and is condensed in the condensation box through groundwater cooling to ensure constant humidity in the greenhouse. However, in the evening, when there is no photosynthesis and the temperature is low,
It is proper ventilation.
Such agricultural inputs may seem large, but as industrial productivity improves, the costs of non-high-tech products such as glass, steel frames, and thermometers will gradually decrease to a point where they are not so outrageous.
At least Wei Keng has seen many garden flowers in rich houses, and this is how they are cultivated. Mr. Wei is not interested in flowers, but when it comes to farming, it is like "a starving man sees food, and a hoarder wants to save cans."
As for the Luoshui Group's original industries in the Guanzhong zone! The disadvantages are that the site is too small, far away from ocean transportation lines, lacks raw materials, and lacks a market for industrial product sales.
In the past, Luoshui's transportation had to go through railways, so it could only rely on the Shenzhou Northern Plains Economic Zone. Now, with the tightening of belts and continuous investment of manpower and capital in the plateau and the Western Regions for three years, the Guanzhong Economic Zone has begun
Gradually get rid of the original dependence situation.
Nowadays, in the management system of the Western Economic Union: agricultural products and light industry products have become self-sufficient, especially the cotton textile industry has become a leading product.
Although heavy industrial products rely on imports, Luoshui Group has core technologies in heavy trucks, high-performance batteries and other projects. It still maintains self-made technical needs for the imported heavy industrial products, without forming a fatal dependence, and it is economical through mining refining.
There is also the electronics industry, which has brought the deficit back.
The most important thing is that the Western Economic Alliance has just gone through the Battle of Talos and did not lose! There is no chance of another war outside the Northern Great Wall in the short term.
With security guaranteed, you can now devote all your energy to basic economic development. Unlike the east, which is trapped in fierce high-tech competition!
In the shipyard of Su-Shanghai United Engineering, a cutting-edge new battleship with an all-electric system is priced at easily 40 billion.
The navy commanders throughout Eastern China are constantly asking for military expenditures, clamoring to maintain fifty "Xuanming" class battleships with laser anti-missile capabilities to replace the "Prince Wu Dao" class that is already a generation behind.
As for Shenjing, it is gritting its teeth and developing a cutting-edge air force. It must benchmark against the first-class air force of the European Allied Forces and upgrade the new generation of Suzaku, Phoenix fighter jets, and Qinglong floating ship. The funds behind any of these projects,
This is enough for the Western Economic Alliance to transform thousands of hectares of farmland into greenhouses in the Western Regions (one hectare costs four to five million yuan, and one thousand hectares is four to five billion yuan)
The main world also encountered this problem after the Industrial Age, during the First, Second, and Great War.
After achieving the goal of victory at the Versailles Peace Conference, the British found that their living standards were not as good as those of the Germans. Haha, the British did not want to think about how terrifying their battleship clusters spread across the oceans were at that time.
As for the second time, the economic situation of Germany and Japan was better than that of the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War, because these two countries were restricted from development and did not need to compete for nuclear energy, aerospace, aviation and capital ship technology. They focused on themselves.
Specialized in machinery, chemical industry, and semiconductor fields.
Of course, it is necessary for superpowers to compete in cutting-edge fields. After solving the furry bear, the bald eagle turned around and cut the leeks of its followers. As for the rabbits that kept pace in the field of high-precision technology, the bald eagle was wielding the harvester.
When I was there, I had more worries.
However, it is also important to recognize one's own strength. The biggest negative teaching material during the same period was the white elephant. As a regional power, it needs to consolidate the security of the region first. However, after the second millennium, there are many loopholes in its internal governance system.
Before it was solved, the economic structure had not even laid the most basic foundation, so it tried to compete in various fields such as nuclear energy, aerospace, capital ships, etc. to expand global influence. As a result, in the rush to get started, various external
Technological substitution is in full swing, just like the Westernization Movement of the last century. As a result, the world fluctuates and everything comes to a standstill.
Wei Keng is very practical now. He looks like a middle-aged man, so he doesn’t have so many wild thoughts.
After serving as the commander-in-chief of the Shenzhou Plateau region, the number of tanks did not increase in the first few years, and all were wheeled armored vehicles.
For air power, we only updated drones and did not compete with other war zones for new fighter aircraft.
As for the distribution of weapons and equipment at the annual meeting of the Ministry of War, Wei Keng will choose which one is cheaper. Anyway, no one can attack him on the plateau, and his military expenditure is reduced to a quarter of that of other land generals. As for the naval divisions in the east,
General soldiers, Wei Keng is even more incomparable.
…
Of course, Wei Keng gave up his unrealistic pursuits, not because he was unmotivated as people said. Some things can be accomplished, and what should be accomplished must be done conscientiously.
In August, in order to commemorate the third anniversary of the Battle of Talos, whether it was to show support or Xiangzhuang's sword dance, Wei Keng held a series of exercises on the plateau.
In the multiple sets of passages in Kunlun Mountain, trains were mobilized in the caves. Then the missile vehicles maneuvered along the road system to various highway sections.
Following an order, three missiles took off at different times from three launch positions, and then made tactical maneuvers according to different trajectories. Finally, they crossed two thousand kilometers and arrived at the designated shooting range in the Mobei area at the same time.
.
The exercise was very successful. In the final summary report submitted, there was a boastful saying: "Being condescending, you can provide tactical support to the surrounding military areas."
Wei Keng: "I am not a sinner on the plateau."
It seems to be a procedural award from Shinkyo.
But in Wei Keng's real calculation, the cunning rabbit made three caves, and the third cave was completed.
[The third cave in the allusion of the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit is that the ancestor worship vessels of Qi were distributed to Xue Yi, the fief of Lord Mengchang. With the artifacts stationed in his own fiefdom, Qi had to send troops to protect it, so there was no need to worry about other plots. 】
…
As for what will happen in the next timeline of this plane? The novice mission planned by the Space and Time Administration for Wei Keng is not planned.
On August 15th, just after Wei Keng finished the plateau exercise, the decrypted information on this plane from the Space-Time Management Bureau had just been released. After seeing this information, Mr. Wei frowned.
The Prince of the Sun who changed the history of this timeline is back. However, after he comes back, there will be changes in the entire process of time and space fusion.
In this stable space-time, a complex space-time reflection will appear, and this world's hyper-space-time technology will undergo major application changes.
Just like when two mirrors are compared, countless mirrors within the mirror can appear.
In the space-time rift technology, after projecting large-scale weapons and equipment into it, and then injecting enough energy and metal minerals, the weapons and equipment in the reflection can be easily taken out.
Of course, the more you want to project into the space-time rift, the more energy will be consumed. The most economical projection and post-projection will be about twenty times. The projected product can be used as a master after error correction.
projection!
And what does this mean? The above-mentioned expensive large-scale military weapons will be able to be built exponentially. The only consumption is minerals and energy.
Wei Keng clicked on the information Ke Feijia left for him.
It turns out that this man's research and development purpose for the two space laboratories Hetu and Luoshu is not just for superpowers.
Wei Keng was actually careless himself. At that time, Ke Feijia left a lot of complex concepts such as space-time reflection in his report. But Wei Keng, because these physical concepts are different from those in the main world, they only apply here, so he felt that
It’s useless to learn it. It’s completely ignored.
And now! Once physicists around the world discover the phenomenon of space-time mirrors.
This technology will soon be put into practical use and put into various military factories. Operators only need to compare the master plate and continuously correct it during the process of generating metal structures from space-time cracks.
The manufacturing threshold for industrial products whose designs have been perfected will be significantly reduced. As long as the energy system and resource extraction and transportation system are stable, they can support frontline combat forces.
The base vehicle system will appear.
Wei Keng quickly opened the information on various forces in the world in this regard:
The Soviet Union's "Little Basil" base vehicle in Siberia, because its architectural structure is very similar to St. Basil's Cathedral, was originally built as a board house to stimulate the economy, but as long as it is equipped with this crack projection processing system, it can automatically Use local minerals to create weapons and vehicles.
The base vehicles developed by the Allies specifically for overseas supplies. Their space printing technology has better projection progress. There is no need to prepare lathes to polish some places with high precision requirements like the Soviet base vehicles.
As for Shengyang, they were the original meddlers in the history here. Their nano-calibration technology allows armor, even large ships, and floating fortresses to be incorporated into this projection system.
Wei Keng sighed and complained to Ke Feijia, who was no longer in this timeline: "No wonder, I feel that what I do is just playing house in your eyes. The world is so crazy. In fact, no matter what Construction, in the coming decades of conflict, the powers here will only talk with artillery and energy bombs."
Wei Keng also understood why the system only sent him the information about this plane now.
That's because originally I was just a novice. According to the original plan, I should stay in this world until the year 2202 of Qin Tongli and then go back. In order not to interfere with it, the time was divided into combat time and space deployments, so whether it was Wei Qiang or Ke Feijia, according to the time and space mission regulations, keeps Wei Keng secret.
But now, Wei Keng is on a solo mission in this plane.
And with the end of the plane war, Wei Keng was classified as an official traveler due to his contribution to the Pandora plane. Therefore, a new mission was released.
When Wei Keng was on the plateau, he positioned himself as a strategic projection "archer".
Now the system reminds Wei Keng, who is too frugal in military armaments, that he still needs to master heavy armor armaments.
Command and Conquer is about to begin.
…
As spring turns to summer, on May 26, 2003, on board the Oriental Cruise Line in the southeastern waters, this modern floating hotel with a dragon boat style is displayed.
The second-ranking figure in the Donglin Party, Yan Muneng, the steward of Mr. Yan Ge, was meeting with European businessmen on behalf of the Fenghou Group. The person who came was not an ordinary businessman, but Lisset, an agent sent by the Intelligence Department. She now came to the East under the false identity of a commercial manager, with the purpose of trying to sign a rare earth procurement contract for the Allied forces.
Strategic resources such as rare earths involve military technology.
four years ago,
The local conflicts between the Soviet Army and China in East Asia gave Europe a glimpse of the true appearance of the Red Behemoth's armored power. Through the previous generation's comprehensive battlefield system, which was slightly cruder and primitive than now, combined with some of the information passed back by spies, A lot of '***' information.
The Allies believe that they must develop a new advanced anti-armor swarm combat vehicle. After multiple rounds of bidding, European and American technology companies took turns to demonstrate various anti-armor swarm technologies.
The European Joint Operations Committee finally finalized the high-energy spectrum penetrating weapon. After many studies, scientific and technological personnel finally reached the limit of spectral power output, 465nm. At this time, the system outputs blue-violet visible light. However, high power
The beam output is limited to the coupling of the optical fiber to the spectrum. Regardless of its complex industry, the share of rare earths opened by the United States alone is not enough for the Allies to produce.
China now has the largest terrestrial rare earth resources in the world.
…
In the first-class cabin of the cruise ship, the Eastern-style garden decoration allows the giant ship, which is obviously on the sea, to luxuriously express the quiet atmosphere of a mountain temple. In terms of taste, it is still a wonderful thing for Orientals.
Lisette picked up the tea and said, "Wuyi Mountain tea. Are you willing to give it up?"
Mu Neng said: "Of course you have to be the best when entertaining foreign guests."
When the two were having a pleasant discussion, they did not know that their conversation had been eavesdropped by a small bug.
The private tea party that followed for the next half hour became an important weapon in the internal struggle among the Donglin Party members.
The next day, the news that the Donglin Party members were colluding with others and preparing to sell out important strategic resources made headlines in major business news.
This matter caused an uproar, and the Yan family in the cabinet quickly distanced themselves from the matter and kicked the steward out. But with everyone in the public speaking out, how could he be allowed to argue?
According to the information discovered in the main world, this eavesdropping incident was planned by the Fenghou Group in order to combat the imperial forces behind the Shanghai-Soviet United Industrial Group, and the same is true in this timeline.
…
Under the influence of the temple turmoil, Bai Jingqi spoke to Wei Keng again.
This guy who has now climbed to the top of the Fenghou Group has recently become more and more shiny and has a romantic air. On the other hand, Wei Keng's face has become a plateau red and he is becoming more and more like a country bumpkin. So the style of both parties
They seem to be very incompatible, but business dealings have made the relationship between the two parties more and more harmonious! At least it seems harmonious on the surface.
Wei Keng's group currently does not have any strategic projects that are being manipulated by Fenghou. On the contrary, whether the Fenghou project will make a loss or profit this year depends on the procurement and infrastructure plans of the Western Economic Alliance.
While Wei Keng looked at Hai La opposite him, he took out a multifunctional knife and peeled an Aksu apple for himself.
Today’s topic is rare earths. China’s rare earths are distributed in the north and south. 98% are distributed in southern Mongolia, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Sichuan, and Shandong. The current core rare earth capital, Baiyun Obo, was planned by Wei Keng ten years ago.
A steel factory was captured.
Moreover, Luoshui's technology reserve quickly took out a set of the most advanced extraction and purification industries (from the main world) and established the largest processing industry. Part of the output value of these processings, related photoelectric equipment developed by itself, is used for internal needs.
, while the other part is delivered to some military projects of Fenghou Group.
When the Shanghai-Soviet United Industrial Group was deeply involved in public opinion turmoil, the rare earth trade was now in the hands of the Fenghou Group.
Without competitors, Fenghou Group no longer has to think about economic considerations, such as selling more and selling less, but instead starts calculating whether it should sell or not! So he had to find Wei Keng to unify his opinion.
After hearing this, Wei Keng asked incredulously: "Do we need to help our potential opponents? Or, when we were carrying the Soviet armored flood a few years ago, they helped us and now we need to return the favor?"
After receiving Wei Keng's clear response, Bai Jingqi clapped his hands and praised: "Heroes see the same thing."
…
A few weeks later, a document from the Land and Resources Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs of China froze the trade.
The trade representative of Fenghou Group, who was solely responsible for this transaction, returned the request of Raytheon Company (United States of Eden) with a "regretful smile".
However, Wei Keng did not expect that the decision he made based on the original timeline history would cause another change in the time flow.
