The knight in the big world of American TV series

In fact, it was not just the bully who was surprised and horrified by what happened today.

The same applies to other countries. The latest fighter aircraft requires a country to invest a lot of resources from research and development to actual combat.

Let’s take the F35 as an example. The F-35 fighter jet originated from the U.S. Joint Strike Fighter program. This program was the last major military aircraft development and procurement project in the 20th century. It is also the largest ongoing fighter development program in the world. It is designed to In order to replace various military aircraft such as F-16, F/A-18C/D, AV-8 of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and the British Royal Navy. The plan is positioned as a low-cost weapon system. This is because the cost of modern advanced fighter jets, such as the F-22 fighter jet, continues to rise. The United States and other countries feel that relying solely on such high-performance and high-priced fighter jets to form a fighter force will be insufficient. Financially unbearable. Therefore, the various U.S. military services have changed their past tradition of developing fighter jets separately and joined forces to jointly develop a low-end fighter jet that is versatile, advanced in performance, and affordable.

In 1993, the U.S. Department of Defense launched research on the "Joint Advanced Attack Technology" JASF demonstrator, and established the JASF Research Program Office in January 1994, hoping to develop a series of light fighter attack aircraft common to several services to replace the U.S. Air Force. The F-1E, F-15, F-16C and F-15, the Navy's F-117, the Marine Corps' AV-14B, and several obsolete models. At the same time, the United Kingdom also expressed strong interest in this plan and proposed to join this plan to replace the Harrier fighter jets and its developed Sea Harrier series with this aircraft. In order to integrate resources and highlight priorities, the U.S. Department of Defense incorporated the ongoing U.S. Navy's "Joint Strike Fighter" JAF program and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's "Common Low-Cost Light Fighter" CALF program into the JASF program, and in March 8 The JASF program was officially renamed the "Joint Strike Fighter" JSF. The JSF project was officially launched on November 1996, 3.

F-35外型像似F-22猛禽战斗机的单引擎缩小版，而且它的确从中吸取了一些元素。F-35的排气喷口设备则从通用动力在1972年设计的垂直起降飞机Model200得到了灵感。第一架进行试飞的F-35是空军版F-35A，编号AA-1。2006年12月15日在德克萨斯州首飞成功。

虽然美国是主要的购买国与资金提供者，但英国、意大利、荷兰、加拿大、挪威、丹麦、澳大利亚和土耳其也为开发计划提供了43.75亿美元经费。总开发经费预估将超过400亿美元，主要由美国买单，购买2400架战斗机预计将另外再花费美国2000亿美元。九个主要参与国计划在2035年前取得超过3，100架F-35。不过2009年，以色列、土耳其和新加坡也在就采购F-35与美国进行谈判。进一步的乐观估计、F-35型战斗机未来的总销售量将会突破6千架，使F-35成为数量最多的战斗机之一。

Think about it, your country has spent so much resources and energy to develop advanced weapons, only to be instigated to rebel as soon as it turns around. This would be a nightmare for anyone!

So the White House contacted Kay and Tony that day. They hope the two superheroes closest to the government can provide answers.

Tony was quite irritable, and his research had hit a bottleneck, so even with Pepper's comfort, Tony still directly satirized the White House and hung up the phone.

And Kai... There has been almost no news about Kai recently, and no one knows where he has gone.

Only a few people know that he was in Atlantis.

Because something happened here too in Atlantis.

Just after the Dark Trident was lost, Kai and Mela rushed to the Mediterranean-Atlantis outpost immediately, because just when Kai and Mela left Egypt, they received an emergency distress signal from the outpost.

But when they arrived, the entire outpost was destroyed. Everyone is missing.

Only a mangled human corpse was left.

Through news from the White House, it was confirmed that the human corpse was the defected artifact holder of the Little Overlord.

Although they didn't understand what happened, Kai and Mela both knew that the underwater world was in trouble.

After all, the Dark Trident is missing.

So the two of them rushed back to Atlantis as quickly as possible.

However, before they could discuss anything with the government of the Kingdom of Atlantis, bad news came from the Fisherman Kingdom.

They were attacked.

Their orichalcum was robbed!

To be honest, Kai didn't know what orichalcum was at first.

So I don’t really understand what special significance this thing has to Atlantis, but I was so panicked when I saw a group of people who were mourning for their heirs.

Then I knew what orichalcum was.

Later he learned that orichalcum is actually a common name. The scientific name of this thing is Orihakon. It is a special ore that can only be produced in volcanic craters deep under the sea. This thing can provide very huge energy. How to use it It's very simple, just burn it directly.

To Kai, this stuff was the equivalent of solid petroleum.

But it contains much more energy than oil.

At the same time, Orihakon is volatile and extremely dangerous. When it leaves the high-pressure environment, it will begin to volatilize, and when combined with oxygen, it will immediately become highly toxic! Even if this thing burns, it will produce highly toxic greenhouse gases.

Thousands of years ago, after Atlantis entered the deep sea, their civilization collapsed. After all, they used to be a land civilization. Even though they relied on the ocean, they were more of a land civilization. Their way of life has always been that of land people. lifestyle.

When entering the deep sea, it can be said that you are completely destitute. There is no civilization at all. The emergence of orichalcum allowed them to start the first industrial revolution.

The original deep-sea civilization was actually more like a tribal civilization. They chased schools of fish and grazed seaweed. Doesn't tend to settle in one location.

But orichalcum revitalized their civilization.

They rebuilt their civilization in a very short period of time and began to abandon the habit of land that eventually formed what it is today.

It can be said that orichalcum is their key, allowing them to open the door to a new era.

But the consequences of this kind of thing are the same as the industrial revolution on land, both good and bad!

Just compare it directly here.

The British Industrial Revolution took place from the 18s to the 60s. Through the Industrial Revolution, Britain became the most productive country in the world at that time. Machine production replaced manual labor and laid the foundation for the British Empire to continue to dominate the world in the 19th century. A solid foundation. However, Britain had actually established an empire on which the sun never sets before the Industrial Revolution and realized its ambition to dominate the world. The completion of the Industrial Revolution continued Britain's hegemony for hundreds of years until the two subsequent world wars.

In the "Industrial Revolution" experienced by the United Kingdom, an industrial production system based on "coal, metallurgy, and chemical industry" was established. With the advancement of the Industrial Revolution, coal resources have unprecedented value, and coal has also become an important factor in the early stage of industrialization. main energy source. Although the role of coal is indeed greater than imagined, it will release a large amount of "smoke, sodium dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide" and many other harmful substances during production.

The billowing smoke containing harmful substances such as sulfur dioxide released when coal is burned has become a characteristic of the steam engine and the industrial revolution that people often talk about. Before the industrial revolution, Britain was known as "Happy England", which included the beauty of the natural environment. But now, it has become a different scene of billowing coal and smog. Another word associated with this is "black". Because of the thick smoke, the sky and buildings turned dark. Paul Manto said that due to the role of steam engines, factories will be able to gather together to form some huge and dark industrial cities, and steam engines will make endless smoke clouds fly over these cities. In 1784, a French mineralogist wrote after visiting the Cullen Iron Works: “There are such a large series of workshops that the air in the distance is steamed and heated. At night, everything is illuminated by flames and light, so when When people found so many piles of shiny coal at a considerable distance, when they saw the clusters of fire erupting from the blast furnaces, when they heard the heavy sound of hammers hitting the iron drills mixed with the sharp hissing of the air pumps. , people wonder whether they are at the foot of an erupting volcano, or whether they are transported by magic to the mouth of the cave where the god of fire and his one-eyed eye are busy casting thunderbolts."

French traveler Defoe once described Sheffield, the emerging center of the iron-making industry: "It has a large population, narrow streets, dark houses, and constant smoke from the continuously working iron furnaces."

"Sheffield is one of the dirtiest and smokiest cities I have ever seen. Because small blacksmith shops do not have tall chimneys, and the city has many hillsides, the smoke rises directly to the streets. This causes People are constantly breathing dust into their bodies. If people stay in the city for a long time, they will inevitably inhale soot and accumulate it in their lungs, which will have harmful effects."

Historian Paul Manto once described the industrial cities during the Industrial Revolution: ugly, dark, and surrounded by smoke. For example, in Manchester and some nearby small cities, coal smoke is everywhere. Their buildings are built with red bricks, but due to the erosion of the coal smoke, they have turned into black bricks, giving people a particularly gloomy impression. . In order to be close to water sources and water transportation lines, factories are generally built at the bottom of river valleys. Therefore, there are many factories along the river and the air is polluted. In the Birmingham area, the development of the steelmaking industry caused the city to echo with the sound of hammers all day long and glow red with furnace fires at night, and the entire area became a veritable "Black Country." In London, smoke and fog mix with each other to form a thick yellow smog that persists for many years. The famous novelist Dickens even called this a "London characteristic". The formation of this smog is caused by burning coal. caused by environmental pollution. Luke Howard, a 19th-century London meteorologist, noted that all of London's chimneys were involved in creating the clouds of soot that so regularly hung over the city. And when the atmosphere stagnated, the city did become almost uninhabitable. For example, on January 1812, 1, a windless day, London fell into darkness for a few hours. Lights were lit in the shops and pedestrians had to take special care to prevent accidents.

A writer also described the smog in London in the 18th century. Thick smog filled her countless streets and squares, shrouding 150 million people in misty water vapor.

Factories built along the river include tanneries, dyehouses, bone meal factories, rubber factories, and gas plants. The sewage and waste from these factories, including sewage discharged from nearby sewage ditches, all collect in the Elk River. On the other side of the river, every house in the residential area was blackened by smoke. The river water is dark, full of sludge and waste, and smelly bubbles often rise up, spreading a stench that is nauseating. The situation is essentially similar in the UK's industrial heartland. As people said at the time, new industries brought new sewage, but "the drainage channels and ditches are still in a natural state" and the water quality has seriously deteriorated.

British scholar Cartwright also believes that by 1830, England's large industrial cities did not have a safe drinking water supply, and the rivers in these areas were seriously polluted, so much so that there were no fish in the rivers. The most typical example is the Thames River in London. Industrial sewage is discharged directly into the river without treatment, turning the originally clear and pleasant "mother river" into a smelly sewage river. 1858 was the "stinky year" of the Thames. In June of that year, the stench was so appalling that even sheets soaked in disinfectant had to be hung on the windows of the parliament building by the river.

……

But these were nothing to the people of Atlantis back then.

They enjoy the convenience of the 'industrial revolution' brought by orichalcum, but naturally they also have to bear the nightmare brought by orichalcum.

During that time, global temperatures increased, and a large number of marine life began to become extinct. At the same time, they themselves also suffered greatly.

Atlanteans began to suddenly fall ill and die.

Atlantis is a longevity nation. Although they are not as immortal as the Amazons on Paradise Island, they still live much longer than ordinary people. So as there are more and more examples like this, someone finally starts to pay attention to this issue.

They began to investigate the cause.

Soon they noticed orichalcum.

They didn't believe it at first. After all, the Atlanteans wouldn't be stupid enough to keep the waste and exhaust gas produced by orichalcum for themselves. Don't forget, there is still a large area of ​​land in this world! They treated the then untamed land as their own landfill.

Just like modern people leave pollution to the ocean, the Atlanteans left pollution to the land.

They don't believe that this will affect them living in the deep sea!

However, smart Atlantis scientists soon informed everyone of the concept of 'environmental protection'... Their knowledge of environmental protection was thousands of years earlier than humans!

Their pollution will eventually kill them!
