Chapter 93 Today in the area controlled by knights
This time Jeanne and the others were going to a mining base, somewhere 0.8 light seconds away. Workers would usually work there to the limit, receive their pay, and then fly back to rest.
This saves time commuting to and from get off work.
And there is also a knight's outpost on that planet.
"Why do you want to go to that place?" Jeanne wrote puzzledly, "You can come inside the city, right? Knights are not excluded here."
Li Liang shrugged at the window: "Of course we have a stronghold in the city. But within the asteroid belt, knights have less time to be active in the city."
"Why?"
"We are here to fight. And neutral cities are a good place for knights to rest. With the current situation, we must fight. There is not much room for rest."
"Fighting? With those workers?"
"Don't underestimate the workers of neutral city-states." Li Liang said with a smile. "These workers are basically elite soldiers from the old era. They have gone through a long period of professional military training. Although some of them cannot keep up with the times, the military
They are all very well-educated. It’s just that they have become disillusioned with the world. Besides, knights should stand together with the workers.”
According to Li Liang Chuangchuang, many similar bases are inhabited by knights. While people in neutral city-states are mining on the planet, knights will also find ways to turn them into hidden bases and place the necessary equipment for starships in them.
Supply, or place mines, forts, etc.
The fleet of chivalrous forces can gain a greater advantage here.
Some technologies developed in the chivalrous zone of the outer ring of the solar system, especially those used in construction, can also be put into practice here to collect usage data.
This is a win-win strategy for knights and neutral city-states.
Jeanne suddenly became curious. Saturn and the distant planets beyond its orbit have been occupied by knights for a long time. It is a truly bitter and cold place. The sun's light and heat are already quite weak there, and there is a lack of easily mineable metals.
Ore vein. In the propaganda of the protectors, it is the real bitter cold frontier.
"This is generally true." Faced with Jeanne's curiosity, Li Liang's window felt very natural, "There is indeed a shortage of many things there... Anyway, anything that is not lacking here is lacking there. Since there is no solar energy
, so all individuals are highly dependent on public infrastructure construction and the power grid. Population development is also very restricted. The environment there is too harsh. If you want to expand on a large scale, there are too few mineral deposits that can be mined... From here
Let’s transport it, but it’s too far, and we have to be on guard against the Protector fleet in the Jupiter space domain.”
"In the beginning, all our resources and infrastructure were ruins taken from the protectors. It was the people there who transformed them bit by bit and turned them into a new hometown."
"In the era of the Sixth Martial God, the knights who raised the flag of justice began to call on everyone to rebuild the industrial system. In the era of the Seventh Martial God, it was even more remarkable. We even rebuilt the normal research and development system - not the Scientific Research Knights.
It's not a deformed thing, but something more...more normal."
Jeanne asked: "What does 'more normal' mean?"
"At the end of the old era, Ancestor Wu tried to promote academic reform, sweep away the mentor-apprentice system left over from the Middle Ages, and completely erase the teacher-student relationship that contained personal dependence." Li Liang Chuang said: "It has achieved certain results, but
A secret war probably broke out before it was completed. The Sixth Martial God left a plan, and then the Seventh Martial God also sent some assistance when they were fighting in the asteroid belt."
"In the past forty or fifty years, Xiake has been constantly experimenting with new research and development systems. It strongly links 'engineering education' with 'industrial production' and 'engineering research and development', and combines 'theoretical research' with 'science education'
Deeply integrated with 'engineering research and development' to form a stable large structure... blah blah blah, it's quite complicated to say. However, one thing is that, thanks to the existence of the Scientific Research Knights, we at least know what the 'academic community should not become'
"What should we avoid as scholars?"
Jeanne nodded as if she understood. But Zhu Xiangshan scratched his head and said with emotion: [Oh my god, this is a normal scientist. This is what scholars should be like. There are still normal people in this crazy era.
Well.】
Li Liang pointed the spacecraft's camera at the outer edge of the solar system, probably at the position of Saturn, and said: "You can take a look... The optical equipment on the spacecraft has limited capabilities, and can only see a little light near the rings of Saturn. But I can
Let me tell you, that is our pride."
Jeanne connected her vision to the camera. She followed the direction Jeanne indicated and indeed saw the distant artificial light that was as faint as a dreamy bubble under the dark and magnificent universe.
Zu Xiangshan looked a little dazed.
Zhu Xiangshan suddenly sighed: [That guy from Lao Qi, he never saw this until his death. 】
The seventh Martial God was born on a starship, experienced countless fierce battles, and finally died on the starship.
When he was alive, the chivalrous rear and neutral city-states had not yet appeared.
He has been fighting from the time he was born to the time he died.
Li Liang's window didn't notice Tuzi's subtle emotional changes, and was still proudly introducing the information there. The technology that Xia Ke's team attaches most importance to is superconducting technology. Far-solar planets have natural ultra-low temperatures, and some requirements are not so high.
When the material reaches there, it becomes "normal temperature superconductor." And superconducting technology is the backbone of quantum computers.
The superconducting power supply network and quantum computers are the core infrastructure of the knights. Their computing resources are not far behind those of the protectors. There is a fairly developed network over there, and the literature and art materials of the old era are completely available there.
It is open to the public and active in creation.
For Li Liangchuang, all of the above are "our" achievements and the things she is most proud of. If someone from the inner ring of the solar system asked about these, she would talk about them proudly.
Unfortunately, there are few connection points between the internal and external networks, and the rate of information exchange is very low.
This is not to say that any side is deliberately isolated. The Father of All Machines does not prohibit anyone from connecting to his network. And the knights are eager to transmit their own information to the patron-controlled area inside the asteroid belt. However, the solar system
It's really too big. The cost of setting up a signal transmission link across the orbit of Jupiter, the orbit of Saturn and the orbit of Uranus is quite terrible. The patrons don't have the will, the knights don't have the resources, and they have to worry about King Agni sneaking in.
The destruction.
Currently, information exchange between the two parties basically relies on people carrying hard drives.
