Great time travel

Chapter 99, Political Commissar Guo’s Iron Ambition
Fantastic and different world, south of Farmat continent, [-] kilometers east of Arnus Hill, southwest coast of [Blue Sea], Torch Harbor

Before the first batch of Chinese traversers came here and laid the first foundation stone, this natural harbor with excellent hydrological conditions was just a barren, barren and inaccessible barren land. It has been sleeping in the wilderness for thousands of years, almost No one cares about it, and there are no traces of villages and towns.

Although it is located on the border between the Empire and the Elbe Kingdom, not far from the prosperous imperial capital, two towering, steep and insurmountable mountains, one south and one north, go straight into the sea, connecting it with the empire and the Elbe Kingdom. The hinterland is divided, making it difficult for land travelers to reach it.And navigators who drive boats also have little interest in this place-although there are excellent sheltered harbors here, there is a lack of fresh water on the coastal land.Even if it is not as dry as a desert, it is not much better: there are no rivers for drinking and irrigation, only bare stone mountains and continuous salt land, dotted with clusters of dull gray-green groves, Couldn't find anything attractive.The only few lakes are also salt lakes with a lot of natron in the lake water. They taste bitter and salty, and they are also toxic, which makes people feel desperate when they look at them.

But around this desperate land, there are rich countryside with lush vegetation and abundant grains.Moreover, due to frequent wars and slow population growth, there are still many lands with good conditions that have not been cultivated so far.Naturally, no one is willing to ask for trouble, leaving good places elsewhere, but running to this ghostly place where even weeds don’t grow very much, enduring the scorching sun, frosty nights and bitter salt water.

However, with the arrival of the Chinese, this land soon underwent earth-shaking changes—although the arid saline-alkali land by the sea was almost worthless in the eyes of the native residents of the Farmat continent, it was It is the nearest mouth to the sea from Arnus Hill.For the Chinese who missed the age of great navigation and suffered enough in modern times, this natural port must be taken no matter what.

As for the harsh natural conditions, it is not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Chinese traversers. With their powerful engineering capabilities, the Chinese traversers dug a nearly [-]-kilometer-long canal in a short period of time. The mountains attract clear and sweet alpine snow water, which quickly revitalizes this land that has been thirsty for many years.In addition, the Navy's engineering unit also blasted away the reefs that prevented ships from approaching the shore, cleared the waterways in the near-shore area, and leveled a large area of ​​flat land for the construction of cities and roads between the rugged seaside rocky hills.

After three years of construction, a magnificent port city has taken shape in this once barren land.On the outskirts of the city, relying on the nourishment of irrigation canals and the assistance of agricultural machinery, the hard-working traversers have cultivated a large area of ​​flat and open farmland, planting barley, wheat, oats, corn and soybeans.In the more well-managed vegetable gardens, a variety of grapes, pomegranates, onions, cabbages, celery, potatoes and tomatoes are planted. In addition, new varieties of seawater rice are also experimentally planted on the tidal flats of the saline-alkali land.

In addition to the initial self-sufficient agriculture, the construction of industry is the top priority.Although this land was arid and barren before, it had huge reserves of high-quality iron ore, coal, and oil. However, there are many similar minerals on the resource-rich Farmat continent.

Out of certain considerations, the relevant departments have tailor-made a set of small-scale industrial systems that can recycle themselves for this city, as the basis for all construction. According to the terminology of the economic department, it is called "local five small industries", also They are small coal mines, small iron and steel factories, small machinery factories, small chemical fertilizer factories and small cement factories.With these five small industrial projects, the basic production needs of a region with a population of one million can be initially met.For example, a small chemical fertilizer plant that uses coal as raw material can produce [-] tons of nitrogen fertilizer every year using synthetic ammonia technology, which is enough to meet the needs of the entire Arnus city area current agricultural needs.Then, on this basis, the relevant departments will also organize the construction of small power plants, small textile factories, small printing factories, small waterworks and small food factories to meet the living needs of the immigrants and provide them with a The most basic products needed for the daily operation of an industrialized society gradually form a relatively independent industrial system to independently solve the basic needs of industrial and agricultural production and modern daily life, that is, to achieve initial industrialization.

— With iron and steel works, there is the basis for all military and civilian industries.With a chemical fertilizer factory, coupled with various high-yielding seeds on the modern earth, the output of agricultural products can be greatly increased, thereby solving the problem of hunger in the population in the territory, and enhancing the enthusiasm of the indigenous "naturalized people" for the Chinese traversers .With cement factories, the construction of roads, dams and buildings will be much easier.With a machinery factory, you can produce complex industrial products such as diesel engines, electric motors, water pumps, bicycles, and even tractors and steamers.

In addition, this set of "five small industries" can also "self-reproduce"-specifically, use the production capacity of steel factories and machinery factories to replicate the same industrial equipment such as machine tools: take a set of "five small industries" industry" into two sets of "five small industries", and then turn the two sets of "five small industries" into four sets of "five small industries"... In the end, we can build a relatively large-scale enterprise with a relatively low technical level. industrialized countries.

More importantly, relying on this industrial system, the Chinese traversers in the Farmat continent can create a completely independent military industry that does not have to rely on the mother country across the "gate".Although it can only reach the level of World War II or even World War I at most, it is still enough to crush the natives of the Farmat continent who are still in the feudal vassal era, even if the opponent has magic...

At present, the above-mentioned projects are still in full swing, but generally have begun to take shape.The first batch of factories have already been completed and put into operation, and they are self-sufficient in water, electricity and gas.Living areas that can accommodate tens of thousands of people have been built in the urban area, and their products are being sold to customers across the continent through the market on Arnus Hill.Then, on the cliffs on the outskirts of the city, the engineer troops who built the city were ordered to carve a huge burning torch relief as a landmark and symbol of this newly industrialized port city, and the city was named "Torch" from this. port"……

In fact, there are still several satellite cities like Torch Harbor within the jurisdiction of Arnus City.However, Torch Harbor is not only the largest satellite city among them, but also the only industrialized city, and the only fortress city that implements militarized management.The urban area of ​​Torch Harbor is only for Chinese travelers to live permanently. Except for the occasional indigenous fishing boats, there are almost no indigenous residents, and there are no foreign tourists. Even the city itself will not appear in the tour provided by the foreign tour group. on the map.There are many bunkers in the city and the outskirts, and the citizens and workers also wear military uniforms. No matter what position they are in, they must undergo military training. It seems like an overseas military base—in fact, this is indeed a military base. Its task is to set off from this port at some point, and sound the horn of invasion and conquest to the fantasy world!
The Chinese traversers who came to this port voluntarily with the above goals and received militarized management and training are all future conquerors.

At this moment, Guo Jing, the former professor of Marxist philosophy and the head of the preparatory team for Torchport's "Alien Conquest Army", is speaking to the latest batch of volunteers who came to report from the modern world in the largest city hall in Torchport. A mobilization speech full of brutality and violence.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

On the podium of the auditorium, Political Commissar Guo was sitting in a silver-gray Chinese tunic suit. A few years later, his hair had changed from grizzled to grizzled, and his face was also wrinkled, but his spirit became stronger and stronger, and his sharp eyes became more piercing. god.

Facing the black heads under the stage, his body remained motionless as if made of iron, and he just coughed dryly before speaking into the microphone.

"...Dear comrades! Welcome to Torch Port! Starting today, you will join the advance team of the Chinese nation to conquer the other world, and become a member of the reserve army of the Conqueror Army! Share the hard work with us Tiredness and sweat! Share the glory and joy of success!
right!Conquering Army!The reason why we came here is to start a war!It is not an anti-terrorist war, not a peacekeeping war, and it is not a self-defense war to defend the country, but a war of conquest aimed at aggression, plunder, occupation, and domination against indigenous civilizations in other worlds!

Here, I don't want to use any hypocritical words, such as 'educating the barbarians', 'spreading freedom', 'advocating human rights', etc., to beautify this upcoming war of aggression, and I will not give you an opinion that is in line with the mainstream international values ​​in the 21st century. The reason for the war, this will only confuse your cognition.So, please give up those unrealistic fantasies, and seriously return to the law of the jungle!We are not here for love and peace, but for aggression and expansion.As Jesus said, 'I did not come to bring peace to the earth, but to bring swords to the earth. '

But everyone should not feel guilty. The two terms of aggression and expansion, in the post-Cold War era, have of course become derogatory terms that people are afraid to avoid.But in the history books of the past, at least [-]% of the most famous achievements of those great emperors were to send troops to invade other countries and expand their territories for their own countries?Could it be that all the wise emperors and generals since ancient times will be beaten into sinners by us one by one?

Obviously, such a historical view is absolutely wrong!Throughout the long history, the rise of every great country is accompanied by a sea of ​​blood and bones!Natural selection, survival of the fittest!This is a natural law that each of us knows. Even in the 21st century, after putting on the high-sounding banners of human rights, democracy, and freedom, the essence of international competition is still the law of the jungle.

Some people have been fooled by a part of the modern propaganda media that tries to emphasize "political correctness", thinking that China has been a country that lacks interest in external expansion since ancient times, and will always be harmless to humans and animals, and will always be passively beaten.But in fact, you only need to flip through the map to understand. If we Chinese really love peace so much since ancient times and lack the warlike gene, then the [-] square kilometers of the Republic is given away by phone bills?If there were no Chinese ancestors who conquered barbarians, overcame thorns and thorns, how could our China have the territory it is today?
The Chinese ancestors expanded their territory by relying on swords and blood, rather than clothing, etiquette and moral articles.Modern Western civilization has swept the world since the Age of Discovery, and it does not rely on the moral highness of democracy and human rights, or even pure scientific spirit and dialectics, but on the greed, cruelty, shrewdness and bravery of Western adventurers.From the Age of Discovery to modern times, the brave, greedy, brutal and cruel ancestors of the western powers, driving simple wooden boats and risking shipwrecks, storms and scurvy, resolutely crossed thousands of miles of sea waves and brought new civilizations to other civilizations. Come war and destruction.They wiped out the American Indians with muskets and plagues, conquered black Africa with sowing dissension and slave trade, shocked the kings of the East with the bombardment of naval guns, trampled on the Middle East and India with riding boots and iron hooves, and let the glory of Europa shine on all nations.They stood out in the brutal competition for survival, using bullets and sabers as pens, using the blood and tears of the enemy as ink, and using corpses and ruins as paper, they wrote a glorious chapter of modern civilization.

We can say they are cruel, tyrannical, and shameless and evil, but in the eyes of history and nature, they are still just and great—natural selection, survival of the fittest, this is eternal for hundreds of millions of years The truth of this is the natural instinct of all living things.

The brutal competition among human civilizations will never die because of the multicultural theory.All those who do not adapt to this fierce competition and want to escape the barbaric law of the jungle, such as the seclusion of the Tokugawa shogunate in Japan and the seclusion of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty in China, are nothing but self-deception and will only be punished more harshly and mercilessly in the end.Civilization can make the law of the jungle tender, but its existence must not be denied.Otherwise, no matter how noble and advanced, prosperous and rich a civilization is, if it loses the courage to fight, it will inevitably perish.Those who claim to be civilized people will also be despised and ridiculed by the "barbarians" in their eyes because of their seemingly elegant weakness.

Therefore, on this occasion, everyone should not hide their savage nature!As the saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten, and the reverse can also be understood as: if you advance, you will be beaten.How can we prove our strength and civilization if we don't catch some unlucky guy and beat him up?The reason why we gather here is not for humanitarianism and social progress, but for war and conquest, to expand the living space of the Chinese nation, to smash an old world and build a new world!Of course, it belongs to our new world!
In this looming war, to put it bluntly, we are a group of vicious invaders and colonists, bullying the weak for our own benefit.Many innocent lives will be killed at our hands, and many natives who have lost their homes will be filled with hatred against us.

On the other hand, in the coming war of conquest, many of you will die in battles, assassinations, diseases and accidents... Even if you survive, you will have to overcome various difficult tests.The real time travel is not the kind of Japanese RPG game of "Dragon Quest", there will not be so many beautiful girls throwing arms at you, and there will not be luxurious palaces or comfortable cabins for you to rest at any time , there are no clean and sanitary toilets and spacious and flat roads, only bugs, poisonous snakes, sneak attackers and germs that infeste anytime and anywhere... The bullets you shoot are not like those shown in TV shows, they will only be in the air. A small hole is made in a person's body, but it will break a person's limbs, pierce a person's torso, blow up a person's skull, and make blood, internal organs and brains all over the ground. Even veterans will vomit at the sight .

If you are unfortunate enough to be captured by the aborigines, you will probably feel that it would be better to die early-there is no war treaty in this place, but human sacrifice is popular!Have you seen all those bunny girls who have relocated to Hong Kong in recent years?Don't look at them all being so petite and cute, like pets, but when they were holding machetes on the grassland, many of them used to be experts at skinning people alive!
But despite all the risks and hardships ahead, let's take a gamble!Because this is the historical mission of our generation! "

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Speaking of this, Commissar Guo couldn't help but patted the tabletop excitedly, "...just like Columbus discovered the New World and opened the prelude to the great age of exploration for Europeans. With the possibility of traveling through different worlds, our generation The Chinese have also stepped on the crossroads of the era of great time travel. Fortunately, this era of great time travel was first started by us Chinese, which means we are one step ahead at the starting line!
However, one step ahead at the starting line does not mean that this advantage can be maintained.Before the Europeans started the era of great voyages, our country also had the feat of Zheng He's voyages to the Western Seas, but then the ships were dismantled and stopped sailing, and the ocean was surrendered to the Westerners.Of course, I don’t intend to condemn the shortsightedness and stupidity of my ancestors here, because their sailing technology was immature at that time, and every time they built a ship and went to sea, it was an expensive adventure with huge costs and huge risks. The income from land rental is so stable and reliable.Just like our current time-traveling operations are still immature, we can't even fully grasp the time-space gate leading to other worlds, and each connection with another world has a time limit.Due to the size limit of the time-space gate, it is also difficult for us to transport a lot of products back from other worlds to give back to our motherland.

But despite this, we still have to enter the other world, no matter how much it costs and what risks we take.Think back!Europeans in the age of great voyages risked leaving no bones, sailed to sea with an adventurous spirit, and ushered in a new era.The contemporary Chinese literati were satisfied with a comfortable pastoral life, and only wanted to live a peaceful life with rent as usual, while building ships and going to sea was dangerous and costly. The Way——Thus, as the saying goes, "God does not take, but suffers."In this way, we Chinese not only continued to stand still for hundreds of years, missed the entire era of great navigation, and eventually even our own homeland almost became the prey of Western adventurers.

Never forgetting the past is a guide for the future. We Chinese have already missed the era of great voyages. How can we miss the era of great traversal again?
Going forward, it is the heavens and worlds, the stars and the sea, and taking a step back, it is the crippled, guarding dog, or even sitting and waiting for death—who can guarantee that the road to the other world will always be monopolized by us?What if other countries also have a way to travel across different worlds?
In the face of such a fate-determining tide of the times, it is self-evident what we modern Chinese should do.

In fact, our motherland has reaped huge benefits through several alien-world travel operations in recent years, from cold nuclear fusion reactors to spaceships, as well as various magical alien animals and intelligent life, and more There are no practical technologies or discoveries yet.The influence and value of these technological advances that can help us to reach the stars and oceans in the future cannot be measured simply by money.

Of course, some people say that since this is the case, we only need to collect resources, technology, and products from other worlds, so why migrate to another world to live?This is really a very short-sighted idea, just as the Spaniards are only happy to dig and mine the gold and silver in the Americas to go home and enjoy them, but they are unwilling to build the American colonies into their own land.You know, for a country or a nation, nothing in this world is more precious than the country. The big families in ancient China still had the instinct to spread their branches and leaves. How can modern Chinese people not even have the courage to go out? no?
What's more, the modern earth we live in may not be as peaceful and safe as many people imagine.Although the cold war is over, the nuclear weapons of the great powers are still aimed at each other, ready to turn each other's core hinterland into a radioactive wasteland.All kinds of severe threats such as sea level rise, climate warming, deforestation, mineral energy depletion, terrorist attacks, civilization conflicts, and class conflicts are still lingering around our modern civilization. Avoid the outbreak and spread of all these crises.Although, after successfully repairing the alien spacecraft Macross that crashed in the Pearl River Estuary, we have been able to organize a large number of people to go to the moon to mine and build a space station in lunar orbit, but it is far from establishing a self-sufficient lunar colony. There is still a long way to go.Moreover, once the worst predictions come true and a global nuclear war really breaks out, the permanent base we built on the moon may not necessarily be destroyed by the maddened enemy.

However, now that we have this different world that can be traversed, in the future catastrophes that may occur on the earth, we Chinese have a relatively safe refuge out of thin air.By sending our immigrants to another world to settle down, we can not only spread our compatriots in the multiverse, spread our civilization and beliefs, create a backup of the Chinese nation there, but also reduce the population pressure in China , to reduce excessive demands on the earth's natural resources.Moreover, the cost of sending people to another world is far cheaper than manned landing on the moon even now.

In fact, I believe that everyone here knows that the same colonization of foreign worlds was organized by the country when they crossed the plane of the late Ming Dynasty. Nearly 20 brave compatriots went to the familiar and unfamiliar land. Different world.Then, out of the consideration of the Three Caves of the Rabbit, in this even stranger fantasy world, we also have to repeat the precedent of colonizing the plane at the end of Ming Dynasty, so as to spread more fire for our civilization.

To give a similar example, England in the Age of Discovery spread their unadvanced culture to the whole world with such a pioneering and adventurous spirit.Even though the British Empire has collapsed today, English has evolved from a little-known marginal and backward island language to the most widely used international language on earth and the official national language of the world hegemon.And the emergence of a series of English-speaking countries on all continents is also the legacy left by the English navigators... And we also hope that even if the motherland on earth encounters unpredictable and devastating disasters, our Chinese and Chinese culture , and can still be passed on from generation to generation in the sub-base on the other side of the multiverse, endlessly..."

"...In addition to the above-mentioned principles of the macro narrative, for the personal future of each comrade, there will also be a higher new starting point in another world, and this may also be one of the biggest attractions of traveling through another world... ..."

After explaining the great strategic significance of conquering and colonizing foreign worlds, Political Commissar Guo suddenly changed the topic, "... I believe everyone should also have this self-knowledge. On Earth, people with similar talents as you can be said to be a lot of people. As much as you want. Your work and life are like a drop of water melting into the sea. The trajectory of your life is like a gear turning day after day until the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death makes you disappear in the sea of ​​people, and you will soon be eliminated. People forget, and there is no trace left. It is really difficult to leave a little reputation.

However, in this fantasy world, the modern scientific knowledge you have in your mind, even some of the most basic concepts, is as precious as an oasis in the desert.Even if they graduated from high school, they are already high-level intellectuals in this land, and the personal value of every comrade on the starting line can be said to have been greatly improved.The success rate of your being able to leave your name in history is definitely much higher than that on Earth.

Moreover, compared to a radish and a pit, the flow of class is getting slower and slower, and the modern earth that is gradually becoming a delusion, this different world that is about to be cleaned by the war, is a blank for you, as long as you are willing to pay enthusiasm and sweat, the future There are infinite possibilities.

Just like Shenzhen in the early days of reform and opening up, the first few batches of people who went out to make a living, as long as they were not too unlucky, basically became bosses.But for those who go to Shenzhen later on, no matter how educated and capable they are, most of them will have a hard time getting ahead and can only be high-end wage earners... In the same way, we conquer and colonize different worlds here, although the risk is higher than before. Breaking into Shenzhen is much higher, but the benefits are also greater.We will be one nation, one civilization builder.It must be much easier for you to stand out and rank among the top in the new world than it is on Earth.

What's more, after seeing such a wonderful new world with your own eyes, will you return to your daily life willingly and continue to limit your life trajectory to the earth?At least, I don't want to. I have decided to stay here for the rest of my life and burn with more brilliance.You know, life is short, but a hundred years.There should always be something in life that is more meaningful than our mediocre daily life.It can make our life value not so ordinary and so boring.I think, compared with the step-by-step ordinary life on the other side of the earth, the novel challenges here will attract you more.Just like those famous western explorers in the age of great voyages, although they risked never returning every time they went to sea, they still took risks and set sail again and again, and embarked on the adventure driven by curiosity. trip.Because a nation without the spirit of adventure is a boring nation; a people without curiosity is a boring people.In order to make our nation and yourself less boring, please let go of your curiosity and adventurous spirit, and show your dreams and talents in a different world!Comrades! "

With Commissar Guo's right hand raised high, after a moment of silence, the auditorium burst into warm applause.Looking at those excited and eager eyes, Political Commissar Guo was smiling and waving his hands, but out of the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed an acquaintance——Li Wei, who is currently acting as the captain of the Urban Management Team of Arnus City, unexpectedly Came here and walked straight towards the podium.

After being taken aback for a moment, Political Commissar Guo quickly got up and walked over, holding Li Wei's hand, and said with a pleasant smile, "... Oh, it's Comrade Li Wei? It's been a long time. I haven't seen you for a long time. The city of Arnus was blown over? Is there something urgent?"

"...Alas, it's been a long time. Political Commissar Guo, your mobilization speech just now was really good. It was quite sensational. I saw a few boys down here who were so excited that they burst into tears." Li Wei also smiled. Replied.

"...Where, where, you are really exaggerating! And they are a little excited now, and it will be good if half of them choose to stay in the end. After all, colonizing a different world is not an overseas trip, even It’s even harder than doing engineering in Africa!”

Commissar Guo replied disapprovingly, "...By the way, you haven't said what you are here for!"

"...It's just a little personal matter, it's not a big deal." Li Wei said carelessly, "...Where can we go for a private talk?"

"...Well, it's almost time for dinner in the evening, so let's have dinner together, let's talk while eating!"

Political Commissar Guo looked at the wall clock on the wall and made an inviting gesture, "...Although the place in Torch Harbor is shabby, the seafood is not bad... Today I treat guests, drinking dark elf raspberry wine, and frying Sea lizard steak and giant spider crab!"

"...You are so polite, how can I make you spend money...Well, then I would rather be respectful than obedient..."

PS: Regarding Taiwan’s unpaid labor “potsticker service” as an alternative to military service, it actually includes Sihaiyoulong potsticker shops, Uni-President supermarkets, Thai cuisine, taxi companies, and black cat express companies, etc.It really looks like the trackers, boatmen, oil press workers and hotel guys in the late Northern Song Dynasty belonged to the style of the Xiang army.

In addition, I read a very embarrassing historical material today. During the battle of the Eight-Power Allied Forces into Beijing, the Austro-Hungarian Empire sent about 400 soldiers to make up the number.But the problem is that the expenses of the Austro-Hungarian Empire on this expedition plus the cost of rebuilding the Beijing embassy, ​​the account reported to Emperor Franz is equivalent to more than 600 million taels of silver. It cost nearly [-] taels of silver—what a costly expedition!God knows how much the officers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire were corrupted... Moreover, because the Austro-Hungarian Empire disintegrated in World War I, China only paid about half of the indemnity in the end, and the assets left by the Austro-Hungarian Empire in China were returned to the Beiyang government.
