Out of the cage

In 2845, the productivity of the moon increased dramatically, and it began to have the momentum of a "solar system factory".

The moon's industrial production planning is already planned for a hundred years from now. For example, how will the underground city inside the moon be developed a hundred years from now? Technologies such as "neutrinos" and "seismic waves" are now being used for detection and planning. Construction of the lunar shell below 100 kilometers in the future

As early as 2820 to 2830, during Li Gyu's era, the leadership team of the predecessor of the Human Resources Alliance at that time intentionally maintained the level of economic "excess" in the manufacturing industry.

"Excess" is claimed by the economists on Earth to be waste. But Wei Keng smiled and said nothing.

Wei Keng: The good role of the economy is to stabilize people's hearts. Only when there is more than enough every year can the people pursue their ideals easily and freely. The real waste is meaningless wars and investing a lot of resources into ruins, which are ignored by earth economists.

However, Wei Keng glanced at the scale of the Lunar Human Resources Alliance's production and found that it was indeed a bit excessive in some industries.

At this time, the per capita food consumption on the moon is 600 kilograms per year, but there are 130 million people on the moon, but 45 million giant beasts are slaughtered every year, and each giant beast weighs eight tons on average after being released.

This is still the most complex behemoth production in the processing industry. If calculated in terms of snail meat, the per capita organic matter content is even more terrifying.

For example, snails grow quickly and convert proteins with high efficiency. After the construction of the human geosyncline system, a large number of farms now produce 100 billion tons of snail organic matter every year. This is something that humans in the Earth-Moon system cannot currently consume.

Once industrialization begins, the total scale of materials produced during the economic boom period will be enough for people to use decades later, but in fact the model of "any industrial boom period" cannot last forever. Because while "industrialization" created great material abundance, it also consumed a generation's energy.

In the 21st century, the response of various countries is to establish a warehousing system to store short-term supplies, and at the same time use the tertiary industry to draw a large number of people away from the manufacturing industry, reduce the scale of production, or build other industrial projects. For example, some very large infrastructure projects: vacuum pipelines, reservoir construction and other projects have begun to consume "excess" electricity. Ensure that new basic conditions are laid to support future focus.

As for now, the moon is trying to transform lunar agriculture, well, that is to create a new protein application market model, which is to develop a large number of breeding equipment in industry.

Taking the space battleship as an example, the Human Alliance replaced the human operation chamber on the earth with an encapsulated biological reproductive suit. It is similar to using biotechnology to complete automation.

In the process of urban construction under the moon, such as drilling and building reservoirs, "colonial biological cockpits" are used as much as possible to replace human physical exertion in harsh environments.

The production of a space battleship requires 300,000 tons of protein culture fluid.

The "automatic cockpits" of various industrial production machinery deep in the moon also require a large amount of protein.

Narrator: The current route of the moon is the "insect swarm in the mechanical shell." The colony cockpit is the insect swarm that can control the machinery.

The moon is in its own way, opening up a new track while keeping up with the earth's industrial technology that has stagnated.

...Wei Keng: Applied science is like a pot of soup, the taste is different when new seasonings are added...

In May 2845, the earth saw an astonishing scene. On the equatorial orbit of the moon, rows of thousand-meter-level engineering ships lined up along the orbit and entered the space on the moon's surface. Then they spread out their frames in space and laid fifty-kilometer-level ships. Transport ship keel.

The fifty-kilometer class transport ship is the last generation of technology on earth.

However, the earth has assigned the moon the status of an agricultural area | basic raw material. In the eyes of the Lagrange point masters, the moon should not have access to such high-end technology that is beyond their control in the industrial chain.

As for the ordinary workers in the orbital factories on the earth, they stared at the previous generation of technology being reproduced on the moon and said sourly: "You (the moon) just spent money to buy it, why are you wasting resources on it?"

Of course, ordinary space station workers on Earth said this to deliberately pretend to be confused, that is, the Earth has now blocked the lunar procurement fleet. Of course, the moon must be built by ourselves, rather than purchased at staggering political costs.

Only at this time, the top politicians of the Earth Federation are deliberately ignoring their own "harsh" trade rules and blindly blaming "The Moon is unwilling to compromise, so it is asking for trouble, wasting resources, and building such backward technology industries." .”

The earth's middle-class petty bourgeoisie who are following the trend may change their perspective and think about "the importance of lunar people taking control of their own destiny", and still regard the earth-lunar system as a "family", that is: the resources of the earth-lunar family should be arranged by their own owners. .

Therefore, the narrow-minded "middle class" currently dominated by public opinion on the earth arrogantly believes that "we (the earth) should make money, and for the sake of mankind, you (the moon) should not waste resources and redundant construction."

Wei Keng lamented: "This kind of thinking that determines oneself to be the protagonist is worthy of praise, but at the same time, if oneself becomes the director and others are cast as supporting roles, then it is sick. Come on, you can customize the stage now. I am from the audience Let’s go home and watch TV.”

Just when the earth is staring at the competitor of the moon, the real threat from the earth appears.

...In the current plot of the heavens, the middle person can hold it back, but the other time travelers cannot hold it back...

In 2845, the waves rolled in the Pacific Ocean, and batches of insect swarms began to raid Australia.

On the Australian side, groups of human maritime warships launched close-in defense guns, shooting at the swarms of insects swimming rapidly in the waves.

But suddenly, an alarm came from the underwater sonar, and then the hull suddenly bulged, the keel broke, and the all-electric nuclear-powered warship was directly broken.

Swarms of mammoth behemoths landed from the east coast of Australia.

These 100-meter-high seawater broke through the sea and rushed to the holiday beach land. Under the brightly lit buildings in the city, a large number of cars accelerated on the traffic line, and the collision caused many traffic accidents.

Then, in the air above the mammoth, a large number of supersonic flying insects that sprayed plasma flew past.

These "face-riding flying dragons" rush to human high-rise buildings, emit concentrated acid cannons, and set off large amounts of acid flames. Australia's Oceania Defense Department building, which cost a lot of national funds to build, collapsed in flames.

After the earth entered the era of space warriors, there has been no war for more than a hundred years. The most important matters of the country are military service and sacrifice, and the Earth Federation has not done either of these well. The whole people are pursuing glitz, and a small number of capable people are moving towards the individual heroism faction such as warriors.

Before the major cities in Australia fell, the people of the earth were surprised at this time: "Where are the armored forces?" "Where are the artillery and bombers?" "Are the military all playing real-time strategy games?".

When the unofficial lunar people saw this news, they made a low-quality comment: "Yes, because you have been "breaking the void with force" for decades and disrespected the military, you deserve the consequences."

As early as two hundred years ago, during the Great War on Earth, the Earth Government could organize millions of people to carry out general wars, organize armored brigades to assault cities, and even train veterans to blow up the tracks of enemy tanks in the ruins.

But now, it is really embarrassing to be chased away like ducks by the swarm of insects in the city.

The only bright spot for the officers of the Australian Regional Theater Defense Organization was that a group of retired officers organized and fought a beautiful blocking battle.

This retired military officer corps blocked the swarm's attack on the No. 3 Rail Transit Station by deploying explosives and other means, giving the people of Canberra three days to retreat.

However, the experience of these old soldiers has not been taken seriously by the bureaucrats.

And after the bureaucrats took the credit of these retired officers in a leadership posture, they began to follow their "superior operations". In view of the "feasible cases" created by the retired officer corps, the Australian bureaucrats produced a large number of items from the sealed warehouse. Vehicles and artillery. Form the "Australian Dragon Corps".

However, when Australian bureaucrats implemented it based on "feasible cases", they adopted a "anyone can get it" attitude. In the process of forming the "Australian Dragon Corps", there was nepotism.

As a result, when this gang of gangsters and tax policemen went to the battlefield two months later, everyone was intimidated from the beginning.

These guys with automated artillery tanks are not as effective as the local tyrants of the 21st century. They opened fire blindly and emboldened themselves when encountering various firepower from the insect swarm, exposing their own firepower. After being stuck in front of them by the giant beasts, their morale collapsed.

…the dividing line between the star catalog and the blue sky…

At the Lagrange point, the space city is still brilliant, overlooking the blue earth.

But at this time, a demonic disaster occurred in the Pacific region, and the earth's surface could no longer supply resources. The supply space defense department and the Lunar Humanity Alliance were facing off at the front.

The captain of the Bifang in the far orbit of the earth, Zhu Hesi, bypassed the federal government and directly negotiated with you on the moon.

In the first dialogue between the two parties, they reached a preliminary consensus: that is, to jointly curb the demon disaster! Well, this is what is recorded in the history books. The two sides reached a consensus, but in fact, behind the consensus between the two sides were a lot of disagreements.

In an undisclosed space network conversation.

Wu Xuan: "You mean, let us help you fight, and then win, and then we leave, and you will give us a high praise? Right?"

Zhu Hesi "What do you want?"

Wu Xuan: "There are no moon people in this world, well, at least not in terms of civilization and bloodline."

Zhu Hesi's expression paused. He suddenly remembered that thirteen hundred years ago, the Mohists who landed from the East China Sea also said the same thing to their ancestors, the Ming Emperor: "We are not barbarians."

However, after the Danzhou fairy said those words, he opened the sea, and then started coastal industry and commerce in a grand manner. Then a hundred years later, the Hui Party appeared along the Yangtze River Basin, squeezing away the governance rights of the Ming Dynasty royal family.

Now the Moon Man claims he is not a Moon Man. How do you say this?

Zhu Hesi looked at the fifteen-meter earth projector in front of him and warned the moon: "You have great ambitions. You are trying to spy on the artifact."

Wu Xuan looked at the top nobles on earth: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. This world is not the world of your Zhu family!" (This sentence comes from after the Zhu family was overthrown by the Second Republic a thousand years ago. , what the revolutionaries say.)

The Moon spread out a map and requested the Loess Plateau, which is now a vast expanse of yellow sand, to be the foothold of the Alliance of Humanity.

Moreover, Wu Xuan planned the frigate preparations for landing 45 years later, as if to emphasize: "If it is not given to us, we will take it ourselves."
