Lelai County has been preparing to welcome the convoy of the National Academy of Sciences several days in advance. A separate unit building has been arranged in Yulong Community to be used as a backup laboratory, and various auxiliary aspects such as power supply have also been reconfigured. facilities, so the placement went very smoothly.
In just two days, the National Academy of Sciences deployed more than ten laboratories and could officially start construction, a full three days ahead of schedule.
Time does not stand still, it always moves forward irreversibly.
In these days, Zhou Youzong, who rarely comes back, is also busy.
Now Yuan Yike's belly is getting bigger, and Shen Ling is also starting to show signs of morning sickness.
Luo Xun and Bai Youyou thought their chance had finally come, but they didn't expect that Huayin would parachute in, a domineering and unruly man who jumped in and filled the gap in Zhou You's personal life, leaving no gaps.
But nowadays, people here have no time to think about their private love lives.
There are many things to face every day.
As Lelai County's reputation outside the country grows, more and more people come to seek refuge.
Almost every day new people enter the Le Lai realm.
Sometimes, these people who come to seek refuge are quite lucky and can reach the county seat smoothly on their own.
But as the number of people increases, the problems will naturally increase.
Some people's vehicles broke down, some people were attacked by rats on the road, some people lost food and supplies due to various accidents, and some people simply lost their way.
At the beginning, some people in both the Zhou family and the Lelai County government believed that the trapped people should be ignored and allowed to find their own way to survive.
But this erroneous argument was quickly criticized and suppressed.
After consulting with Zhou Lingsheng and many middle and high-level officials within the Zhou family, the county government officials decided to use existing personnel to do their best to rescue.
As a result, more and more people have received basic military ability training and become new recruits.
More and more new types of small airships that can last for a long time are being manufactured.
More and more ground mobile vehicles have been produced, as well as a small number of single-person three-dimensional mobile devices inspired by animation.
Nowadays, humans have smaller body sizes, lighter weights, and stronger athletic abilities, so it is indeed possible to turn fantasies into reality.
The three-dimensional maneuvering device is composed of an ejection grappling hook and a high-pressure cylinder spray device placed on the waist. It can be used by elite warriors who have strong enough athletic ability, superior athletic ability, nerve reaction speed, and body balance.
A small number of soldiers can wear and use this device after undergoing high-intensity training.
It is by relying on these elite soldiers that the action teams of the Zhou family and Lelai County have gained sufficient mobility in the wild. When necessary, they can even go deep into the wild to observe the signs of rat groups up close and rescue some trapped people. , or place and maintain some sufficiently strong external camouflage equipment.
With the restoration of mobile phone communications in Lelai County, operators have also begun to make some camouflaged monitoring devices with long battery life and install them on trees in the wild.
Because solar panels are too conspicuous and not safe enough to be easily discovered and destroyed by rats, these monitoring devices are basically equipped with large-capacity lithium polymer battery packs, with an average battery life of about two weeks.
If the animals in the monitored area move too frequently, the camera and transmission device will be activated frequently, and the battery life will be shortened to about a week.
When replacing the battery pack, if airships or drones are used, it is easy to be interfered by trees.
But if you use a three-dimensional mobile device, you can use the ejection grapple and the electric winch to lift the entire battery pack up at once, and you can also use the winch to lower the old battery, which is very convenient.
With the help of a variety of new facilities and equipment, a large number of air troops are active in the mid-air within Lelai County, which can not only monitor the movements of rat swarms, rescue a small number of trapped people at any time, but also provide intelligence support for ground troops
, provide fire support when necessary.
In short, although the process is very difficult, the operators will inevitably make sacrifices, and many people really cannot wait for rescue, the population in Xinlelai County and Yulong Community has continued to increase.
In the few days since I returned from my travels, the total population of residential areas in Lelai County has officially exceeded one million.
Over in Kangyue County, after the reconstruction and cleanup work in the past few days, the population of the settlement has also increased significantly.
These are all good aspects.
But unfortunately, as time goes by, fewer and fewer people can escape from other places.
The news coming back from the outside is getting worse and worse.
Just as Huayin had worried before, the rat's tadpole script eventually spread to Shu Province a few days later, and was quickly mastered by the rats here.
For any civilization, the birth of writing is an epic milestone.
Although the Rat King and the Rat King can directly share memories through the connection of brain electromagnetic waves without the assistance of words, the lower rats who failed to be promoted to Rat King do not have this ability.
If any civilization wants to maintain vitality, it cannot have only a handful of individuals keep thinking.
Ordinary rats may not be as good as the King Rat in terms of overall ability, but with the overall improvement of rats' intelligence, some rats will show talents in certain niche areas just like humans.
In the absence of words, these subordinate rats can only convey information and share knowledge through squeaks and dancing gestures that cannot express precise meanings. This results in their information interaction being extremely inefficient, and they often need the rat king to act as an information relay station.
But now that mice have written words, they easily understand the wonderful uses of books and paper from the memories of "dealing" with humans in the past. They even found a large amount of paper and writing pens in the territories abandoned by humans. Some mice began to
Write books to systematically organize your knowledge.
Other rats can learn this knowledge, and the Rat King can also quickly obtain the wisdom of ordinary rats by reading books, and then share it with other Rat Kings through electromagnetic induction capabilities.
After other rat kings find useful knowledge for their own group, they will write it down themselves for other lower-ranking rats to read and learn.
With the help of words, the civilization stage of mice seamlessly entered a new era.
Although mice cannot stand and walk like humans and have a pair of dexterous hands, they can still stand upright on the spot, prop up their bodies by their tails, and use their two front paws to complete some relatively delicate operations.
At the same time, rats also have sharp teeth that humans do not have that continue to grow and can be used as tools.
According to the descriptions of those who escaped, rats have completely entered the Wood Age and have even begun to imitate human vehicles to make some real wooden wheel vehicles.
This wooden wheel cart is different from the previous flatbed carts. It is a real transport vehicle with rubber film tires, a roof, and can accommodate multiple mice riding at the same time.
However, rats have not yet learned to use high-end technologies such as internal combustion engines and steam engines, and there is no electricity. The driving method of these vehicles is rat power.
In these vehicles are installed more or less wooden hamster wheels that are very familiar to humans.
These running wheels are directly connected to the two rear wheels under the car through multi-layer belts as a transmission structure.
When rapid maneuvering is required, the rat responsible for providing power output will enter the running wheel and run under its own weight while several other rats push behind it to gradually accelerate the vehicle.
When the vehicle accelerates to a certain level, the mouse pushing the cart behind will speed up on its own and rush to the rear of the vehicle, and the vehicle will enter a normal cruising state.
Relying on this design, Mouse's wooden chariot can achieve an average cruising speed of about 20 kilometers per hour on flat roads that humans have built, and it can also improve its cruising ability by taking turns to rest.
The emergence of box-type wooden vehicles has greatly improved the ability of rats to move medium and long distances, causing great suffering to people in rat-occupied areas and areas where humans are relatively vulnerable.
In addition, it is said that rats have also built schools where humans and rats live together.
Human slaves were forced to become teachers of rats.
The rats saw through the importance of kinship in human society, and used their relatives to threaten human slaves to teach them knowledge.
It is said that rats in some areas have even learned to use soil to make indigenous iron-smelting blast furnaces to develop some crude smelting techniques.
There have even been cases where rats have snatched vehicles that have been modified by humans and directly driven human vehicles.
The technological level of mice is rapidly rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At present, the situation in Lelai County and Kangyue County seems to be good, but that is only because the human resistance in these two counties is too strong, causing heavy damage to the rats one after another. Not only have they repelled the attacks of rats many times, they can even fight back in the wild.
Therefore, the rats in these two counties are forced to migrate outward.
But whether it is Lelai County, Zhou You and the Zhou family, what they can really affect is only the two counties, and there is nothing they can do about places further away. Especially neighboring countries, Zhou You even doubts that the neighboring countries
Rats may have built their own city.
Almost every day, when traveling around, one hears bad news coming from the outside world.
Finally, on the seventh day after he returned to Lelai County, a solar-powered cruise fixed-wing aircraft modified with a self-propelled missile landed at the small airport on the roof of one of the unit buildings in Yulong Community.
The visitors were combat personnel under Zhang Jing's command.
The other party brought back terrible bad news.
Just last night, rats all over the world took action simultaneously.
The targets of the operation are the many ground and underground missile bases that are extremely important to mankind.
The specific locations of these missile bases may be a secret that is extremely difficult for humans to expose, but for the all-pervasive rats, there is never any foolproof secret base in the world.
The well-trained and well-planned rats used the cover of burrows and ground vegetation to quietly gather a large number of troops near various military bases. Then, last night, they mobilized simultaneously to launch a forcible raid in an extremely crazy manner.
In this attack, the rats used thermal weapons based on the flintlock principle.
Although the soldiers at each base resisted heroically, the number of troops on both sides was vastly different.
Once the rats also take out hot weapons, the advantages of human weapons and equipment in the past will no longer exist. A disastrous defeat is inevitable.
After a night of hard fighting, most of the missile bases fell.
In order to prevent these vital weapons from falling into the hands of rats and becoming research samples for the other side, many bases have chosen to detonate them urgently.
Although the detonated missiles caused a large number of casualties to the rats, the results were probably of no avail in the face of the rats' desperate reproductive capabilities.
To make matters worse, there are some missile bases in neighboring countries and other surrounding countries that did not explode.
Those cutting-edge weapons of mankind have fallen into the hands of rats.
No one knows how long it will take for rats to digest and absorb the relevant knowledge of cutting-edge weapons, but both Zhang Jing and people at higher levels believe that it may not take long.
After all, with the blessing of the global brain, as long as one rat king makes a major breakthrough in a certain aspect, it won't be long before rats all over the world can master this relevant knowledge simultaneously.
"In short, the current situation is very critical. The senior leaders have judged that after last night's globalization battle, it will be difficult for us to limit the large-scale mobilization of rats. Next, after the next round of large-scale breeding is completed, rats should be gone
How long will it take for a major purge to start on a global scale? Whether it is Lelai County, Kangyue County, Fanyang City, or Rongcheng, any area where there are large-scale gatherings of humans will most likely be subject to concentrated attacks.
I only bring this bad news when I come this time. Commander Zhang asked me to tell you something for him. In short, I hope you can hold on for as long as you can. We have begun emergency mobilization and are preparing to go.
Satellite launch base, trying to restart the space program to see if a group of people can leave the earth. Here in Lelai County, the laboratory members of the National Academy of Sciences, you, who have the third-order super-limited ability, as well as your descendants and relatives,
They are all within the scope of candidates for the space program. The top management hopes to send at least 10,000 people."
After saying this, the combatant who delivered the message immediately drove the plane and embarked on the return journey.
Watching the plane taxi quickly on the runway, then watching it fly away quickly, and standing on the roof blankly.
He suddenly felt that the sunlight in the distance was so dazzling, and that his efforts so far were ridiculous.
From the time when human beings shrunk to the present day, the battles he has experienced have always been invincible and he has never been defeated.
He also beat the rats in his hometown and neighboring counties until they couldn't hold their heads up, so he had no choice but to leave his hometown and get out.
However, in the tide of history, my own personal struggle seems so small and insignificant.
"I haven't changed anything at all."
"Aerospace? With the current level of science and technology of mankind, we can't even build a base on the moon. Even putting an exploration vehicle on Mars will fail. Can we really send 10,000 people into space and keep these 10,000 people alive?
? Without the earth as our home as a logistics, do we have to wait alone in space for resources to be exhausted, and then die? Let these ten thousand people live for a few more years, and barely extend the existence of human civilization by a few more years? Does it make sense?
