Tomorrow's Ark, the journey of hardcore and ruthless people

PS: In September 1805, with the changes in the strategic situation, 9 French infantry divisions, 20 cavalry divisions and 11 field guns originally distributed on the west coast of France gave up their plan to cross the sea and rush to Central Europe instead.In that era when the road system was extremely imperfect and relying on horse-drawn carts to transport supplies, Napoleon's army of nearly 286 ran from the coast to the Rhine in more than 20 days. The farthest was 20 kilometers, with an average of 800 kilometers. Arrived, and then fought a big victory over Austerlitz.

This is the ability of the "queue to shoot" era!

So I always tell myself, if I don’t take the book for granted, I will inevitably come up with some nonsense; and if I feel "I am smarter than XX", that is the most stupid behavior... If I make such a problem, welcome Everyone spray.

PS1: The second scan of Little Broken Ball 2 is completed.The effect was so good that when I took the subway to recall the details, I passed the station twice in a row.Obviously, I like to think too much, think blindly, and think wildly, otherwise I wouldn't write web articles.So I'm going to talk about what I came up with here.

First of all, the level of this play can be seen to a higher level with the naked eye, and the fineness of the special effects is like a technological explosion, but what surprised me the most is that it really established a sci-fi aesthetic style-I used to think about it in the previous Sui Sui Nian I mentioned it to everyone.

Each genre of sci-fi has its own symbolic elements, such as cyberpunk high-tech low-life, Skynet, and monopoly of large companies; space operas include empires, starships, and the Chosen One; Cannon and so on.Works that conform to the characteristics of this genre must have these distinctive symbols.Only works that can abstract such distinctive symbols can represent a genre, and such a genre can only be formed in a specific social state and creative group.

"The Wandering Earth 2" fully meets this condition. The whole movie is highly harmonious from the theme to the script, to the props and the screen. This sense of harmony allows us to distinguish it from any other genre of science fiction.

For example, its props and special effects are designed and manufactured strictly in accordance with the world view, which is a world view in which "huge resources are used for the Wandering Earth Project, and the development of military weapons and civilian products is stagnant."The Veyron, which takes off vertically and cancels the main bomb bay and expands the side bomb bay, uses the 20 rifle for 191 years. The mobile phone in 20 years will be exactly the same as the gadget before the solar crisis.

Even everyone is a space elevator, a spaceship, a space suit, and a hibernation capsule, but they are a bit similar to Hollywood, but there are some differences. It seems that we will show such a state when we develop into the future, rather than Western development. To the future, this is a manifestation of style formation.

In this style, I try to abstract its representative symbols as "collectivism", "large-scale industry", "super infrastructure", "cooperation of all mankind", "slightly rough in simplicity" (this is what I hope to describe People's Federation).

As for the name...

Liu Cixin said that he hopes to make science fiction as real as a documentary, so "science fiction documentary", or,

"Future History Genre"

Maybe not bad.

Well, that's right, I added a new chapter just for the last bit of vinegar.

PS2: I still owe three more...

Chapter 28 Departure and Temple Counting

Thick smoke filled the room, submerging everything in the tent in the swirling smoke.

The old smokers who puffed and smoked sat around the meeting area in the tent, refilling one cigarette after another, their eyes were bloodshot, and there were three layers of cigarette butts in the ashtray.There are always people milling around in the snow outside, and cigarette butts circle the ground in circles...

Facts have proved that not everyone has the psychological advantage over the entire world that a time traveler with the support of an organization has.Just when they heard the word "take the initiative", the commanders of the militia who had been at loggerheads with each other and almost started to fight over their radicalism and conservatism immediately began to soften.

Even if Comand was staring at them, the determination of the regiment leaders and political commissars began to decline all the way, and the fear that shrouded people's hearts day and night began to emerge.

The blow from the Ursus Empire is really coming...

Finally, the commanders smoked a draft with cigarettes.Bodroskaty was reading the manuscript directly in front of the two blocks:

"...In short, we believe that in the current situation where the troops are urgently expanding and the enemy is in full swing, there is no way to effectively deal with the land fleet. It is not suitable to use the main force to directly compete with the enemy."

The patriot finished reading the results of the collective analysis of the heads of the regiments of the Tribunal troops and glanced at the people on both sides of the table.

Commander stood up slowly and asked calmly: "Is this considered...the opinion of the army?"

The Patriot hesitates, then nods.

Comand nodded, holding out his hand.Bodroska handed over the papers.Comand took it but didn't open it: "I think your opinion now ends up coming back to putting the enemy in. Right?"

"Yes," Bodzoska answered on his behalf.

Comand nodded again, and glanced at the cadres of the Tribal Army.

Then he threw the documents on the table: "Then what use do you have?!"

The atmosphere was extremely tense, and the group leaders and political commissars all lowered their heads.

"Look at your appearance! Your style! Just now some people wanted to fight the defensive war of 'repelling the enemy from outside the country', but now they hear an 'active attack' and they are bloody, from the strategic adventure of trying to win quickly, to avoiding The retreatism of the battle can change so quickly! It’s really eye-opening! Will someone think I’m a waste who can’t be called the United Army?

"Now you have automatic guns, howitzers, and endless ammunition. With the strong support of the 113th Division! And your enemies are using single-handed rifles as a new weapon for decisive victory! I really want to ask, are you still A revolutionary soldier?!"

Commanders lowered their heads lower.Only Frost Star murmured coldly: "To put it lightly, can it offset the naval guns of the land carrier?"

"Then you just let the enemy trample on the base area and destroy production?" Comand confronted, "When the conditions have not improved, when you just came out of the workshop and acted here as military workers, how did the masses treat us?

Comand's roar shook the tent, and in the gap between the roars, the whole place was so silent that you could hear the sound of a steel pin hitting the ground: "The villagers themselves were short of food and clothing, but they tried their best to help us. Several families collected more than ten kilograms of grain and Three or five eggs were secretly stuffed into us when we passed by at night. Now that the integration movement has moved to the ground, it has become proud and prosperous. We ride through the village on big horses and carry guns in broad daylight. The staple food of the troops still depends on what is grown in other people's fields. Come out. At the critical moment, our reward is to let them leave their homes? Ah?!"

Even Frost Star lowered his head, and even drooped down his rabbit ears.

When the commanders were preparing to face a bigger storm, Comand's voice suddenly calmed down: "Let's rest for a while and do a feasibility analysis later."

People seem to hear the probation order before the execution, and the eyes are fixed on Comander, and they look away when he looks back.

When Comand slowly walked out of the tent, Tallulah hurriedly followed.Comand raised his hand before she could speak: "You don't have to worry, I haven't lost my mind."

"Then you..." Tallulah looked at Comand worriedly.

Commander was still angry, but he was not very radical: "Ask everyone in the tent to come over and follow me."

When the commanders of the troops ran out of the tents, Commander was walking alone up the slope not far away.The slope was not flat, with a full thirty-degree angle, but he still walked up steadily and quickly.The commanders followed him one after another, running as fast as Commander and reaching the top of the slope at the same time.

And saw the village in the distance.

More and more people climbed to the top of the slope.Those who followed clearly felt that the atmosphere was changing among those who looked ahead.Those comrades froze there as if under a spell, staring at the small mountain village not far away where the smoke was rising.

Patriot and Froststar, who were following behind, also climbed to the top of the slope.They were initially confused as to why there was such dense smoke even though it was not a meal, and then they suddenly realized why the village looked so strange:

Every house, every household in this village, the courtyard door and the door of the house have disappeared.The courtyards were eerie and subtle, looking like a mouth with its front teeth knocked out.People were going in and out of empty porches.

The integration movement is now a fairly independent political entity, and in many places it is not so easy for the 113th division.

Although relying on the huge advantage in productivity, the 113th Division of the People's Federation of Extraterrestrial Corps feels that it can exchange some rags for the Integration Movement, a promising organization, to make money from debts. The Integration Movement feels that it has a bargain price and even writes an IOU in exchange. So many things make money.

But, after all, this is a trade between two parties, not a distribution within an organization.Such as automatic rifles and cans, the integration movement has begun to have some self-production capabilities, so it no longer obtains all from the 113th Division, and turns to produce and supply troops by itself, saving import quotas for more important things.

The first self-sufficient thing of the integration movement is the staple food.

Commande's deep baritone voice echoed on the top of the slope: "I want to tell you, don't doubt that the masses have the awareness to overcome difficulties together with you! Do you know why there is so much and so dense cooking smoke in this village? Why? Is every house locked out?"

In the silence, Comand continued: "This village has not slept for two days and two nights - the army's cooking unit is too busy, it is they who offered to share the task and make bread for our soldiers as field rations.

"Because of our work mistakes, there are not enough explosion-proof asbestos cages as fortification materials. What are the main fortification materials? It is the door panels of the whole village that the masses have dismantled from the courtyard door to the house door. It is the dowry box presented by the bride. The coffin that the old man and the old lady originally prepared for themselves!"

Comand didn't go on.

The people standing on the top of the slope were silent, only the cold wind from Beiyuan sang low and solemnly in the air, sending the noisy sounds from the distant villages.

After a long time, Commander raised his voice: "If victory does not belong to such people, then who can it belong to?"

**

When standing in the tent again, Command first made a self-reflection: "First of all, I want to say that I did lose control of my emotions just now. This is very inappropriate in a formal meeting. I will make a self-criticism to my comrades."

The regiment leaders and political commissars looked at each other in blank dismay.

In any case, in addition to emotional changes and incentives, objectively feasible solutions are also needed.Commander calmly opened the page and entered the following topic: "However, no matter how much blood is shed, we still have to face practical difficulties. If it is not feasible at all militarily, then no matter how much blood is shed here, everyone There is no point in trying your best. The military needs to respect the facts the most.

"As for the battle. My opinion is that if the mobilization is sufficient, the command is good, the positions are well chosen, and the fortifications are as good as possible, then it will not be a problem to block the enemy's attack with only two regiments."

The officers looked at each other, Frost Star raised his hand, and stood up when Comand agreed: "This is impossible! Comrade General Political Commissar, the invading enemy army is a full-staffed army. The drone reconnaissance intelligence has confirmed that , the enemy has a full three infantry divisions, ten cavalry squadrons and corresponding support artillery, counting engineers and transport units, the enemy's total number of offensive troops has exceeded the 9000 mark, while our army only has five infantry regiments and one cavalry Regiment and a group of artillery units, the total number is only [-] people. Considering the enemy's land-ship detachment-in this case, the ratio of troops and firepower is too great!"

This is a fact, so Comand cannot deny it.But he still has something to say.He waved his hand: "That's right. The crux of the problem is the land-ship. In terms of infantry and mounted guns alone, we have advantages over the enemy. However, the enemy sent two light cruisers to In terms of firepower, protection and maneuverability, land ships far surpass other army units. So let me ask a question first: If the enemy's land ships are excluded, our army's field troops will Against the enemy's field troops, do you have the confidence to carry it down?"

There was a lot of discussion, and Bodroskaty finally spoke: "In this case, if we build a solid defensive position, mobilize adequately, command properly, and give full play to the advantages of light weapons firepower, of course it will not be a big problem."

Comand nodded: "Okay, Comrade Berkonsky, it's up to you."

People looked at Andrei Belkonsky sitting in the corner in surprise, and suddenly realized - he is now a cavalry commander, but as a former land cruiser, when it comes to his understanding of land cruisers, everyone knows nothing about land cruisers. There is no one better than him in the integrated movement.

Belkonsky, who was wearing the iconic army green coat of the Integration Movement, got up and walked to Comand who was hanging out the map.

Comand gave up his position so that people could see the map clearly: "The enemy's logistics center and assembly point is the medium-sized mobile city closest to the northern plains in the entire Ursas: Tsaritsyn. From here, there is a necessary way to take the shortest distance. -"

Comand used a pencil to draw a circle on the map where the contour lines were denser: "Kursk Mountains."

"If you don't go here, that Earl Wrangel will have his [-] troops go around for a month or two to deal with the boundless fields and dense forests of the northwest tundra."

Berkonsky took up the conversation: "And I would like to introduce such a situation to you: Comrades, the off-road capabilities of land ships cannot actually be compared with vehicles and infantry.

"In most areas of the Terra continent, land-ships and mobile cities can become mainstream, and there is an important reason: dense and frequent natural disasters make most of the ground barren and relatively flat, making it easy for land-ships to maneuver.

"Beiyuan is different. Although the climate here is cold, there are no natural disasters. Therefore, the original topography and landforms are well preserved; at the same time, the original vegetation here is also well preserved.

"If land-ships try to forcefully pass through such areas, they will definitely face the problem of the complex terrain of Beiyuan, and the more rugged terrain and dense arbor forests are natural obstacles against land-ships.

"There is only one place where land-ships are allowed to enter Beiyuan."

Berkonsky turned around and placed his fingers heavily on the map: "Kursk!"

The soldiers who smelled the opportunity had already started to look at each other.

While Belkonsky was talking, Commander was busy taking out another map with a larger scale and hanging it up. Now he took over the conversation: "This is Kursk."

On that map, there was a concentration of eyes comparable to machine gun fire.The cadres of the integration movement craned their necks.

It is a wide valley with gentle slopes.The mountains on the south side of the valley are higher than the North Ridge. The highest peak of the North Ridge is about 60 meters higher than the bottom of the valley, but the slopes are not steep.The two mountains in the north and south are not completely parallel.In some places, they are very close together, but the closest location is more than three kilometers away.

There is a north-south road here, which is one of the main roads from the north of Usas to the northwest tundra. The imperial army going north along this road will see the vast valley ahead and the North Ridge on the South Ridge.Judging from the rather sparse contour lines on the map, the observations on the ground will only show that the straight road descends slightly, enters the valley, and then ascends slightly again, extending to a large area of ​​farmland, which is the North Ridge.

Beyond the open mountains with a total length of six kilometers, there are dense and tall forests on the left and right sides, and the terrain is even steeper mountains, which is not conducive to the mobility of any large-scale troops.

Comand took out more intuitive aerial photography and field observation photos from his briefcase, as well as a document distribution: "And the 113th Division has already conducted field surveys in the Kursk area. There are sufficient defensive positions including anti-slopes there." conditions; and the mountains on both flanks are steeper and densely forested, enough to prevent the enemy from outflanking us."

People looked at the people watching the show next to them.

Comand continued: "The technical arms of the 113th Division of the Extraterrestrial Corps will continue to provide support in the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign. Keep your heart in your stomach."

Bozhuoskati said suddenly: "In this case, the conclusion is actually very obvious. Such a terrain will allow the enemy to attack our defensive position here from the front, and it will also weaken the power of the naval guns."

Commander nodded and looked around: "Climate, precipitation, vegetation, and terrain have seriously restricted the ability of land carriers and large troops to pass. And the enemy's tactics and supplies are highly dependent on land carriers, so they cannot abandon land carriers. Sailing ship.

"Both the environment and the enemy's situation have led to a result: Kursk is the place where the enemy must pass. And there is a location that is beneficial to our defenders. Therefore, the military conclusion is: it is also possible to fight for positional defense." "Anyone comment on that conclusion?" Comand said.

No one spoke.After a few seconds of silence, Shuangxing shouted loudly: "No!"

Commander waved his hand: "Okay, I will continue to emphasize economic issues." He saw a lot of confused looks.

The General Political Commissar shook his head slightly: "So I say, you are not enough to deal with the military struggle in the new era. Everyone, think about our wartime industrial construction plan, which is just coming to an end."

Mentioning this made everyone feel complicated again.

The People's Federation of Extraterrestrial Corps has rich experience in helping an underdeveloped area establish an industrial system that can meet the most basic production needs - simply put, it is the so-called "five small industries".

Comand has repeatedly emphasized the importance of "self-circulation" and "hematopoietic ability" to the integration movement.According to the plan tailored by the Social and Historical Research Office of the 113th Division for the northwestern tundra base of the integration movement, with more than a year of hard work, the integration movement has already owned a small coal mine, a small steel factory, a small machinery factory, a small chemical fertilizer factory and The small cement factory, these five small industrial projects can initially meet the basic production needs of areas with a population of one million, and can fully meet the population controlled by the current integration movement.

—With our own iron and steel works, we have the basis of all military and civilian industries.With its own fertilizer factory, and learning from the People's Federation to build its own modern agriculture, the food production within the base area can be greatly increased, and the people's enthusiasm for the reunification movement regime can be greatly enhanced.With your own cement plant, the construction of infrastructure will become much easier.With its own machinery factory, the base area can produce diesel engines, electric motors, water pumps, bicycles, and even complex industrial products such as tractors and small steamers, and no longer need to occupy precious quotas to import from the 113th Division.

The best thing is that this low-tech "five small industries" can "reproduce themselves" relatively easily.Specifically, it is to use the production capacity of steel plants and machinery plants to replicate the same machine tools and other industrial equipment: turn one set of "Five Small Industries" into two sets of "Five Small Industries", and then turn two sets of "Five Small Industries" "Become four sets of "Five Small Industries"... Both in terms of cost and technical difficulty, they are relatively low, and preliminary industrial construction can be achieved at a faster speed.

Recalling the scene depicted in the People's Federation study class: chimneys everywhere across the country, fields with chemical fertilizers rolling in, and all kinds of steel machinery overwhelming the sky, the military cadres of the integration movement felt what they saw at that time. Feeling of shortness of breath.
