From black technology to super engineering

Ye Ming thought about it again and again last night, and finally decided not to visit the wounded with Ai Wen - although deep down in his heart he had respect and a little guilt for these soldiers of his own clan.

The reason is very complicated... The main thing is to consider the issue of "degree".

After all, the radical label on him is already very strong now. If he goes to greet the wounded in the war, it will undoubtedly cause doubts and dissatisfaction from many aspects. Besides, this is beyond his own responsibilities.

Moreover, the act of visiting the wounded on the front line and the publicity behind it involve many considerations - even sending these wounded to the human world for treatment itself represents some of the demands of the front-line soldiers.

To put it more specifically, when the frontline sends the wounded back to Earth, Earth's leaders will have to consider how to treat it, whether to publicize it with great fanfare, or to treat it in a low-key manner... These will all represent the attitude of humankind's top leaders in future wars.

After all, mankind has not yet entered a wartime system...even apart from the massive publicity of the battle two years ago, there is not much publicity about frontline wartime now. The human beings on the earth are living a peaceful life... and even have the energy to carry out large-scale demolition and construction.

And now, with the arrival of the wounded and the widespread publicity... it is conceivable that this means that the BOSS group should have reached a certain consensus on how to move ordinary people from "running around and dancing around". Wake up in the state.

"It means that the military expenditure will increase in the future?" Ye Ming asked softly after pondering for a few seconds.

"It's possible, but there should be deeper considerations above." Qin Weiguo smiled: "You may not have paid much attention to the source of our Taiyue Space Force's military expenditure before."

Ye Ming was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded: "Indeed... my impression still remains on the 10 trillion space fund issued by the country ten years ago... and those funds were mostly used for space cities, lunar bases and exploration spacecraft..."

"Well, how long ago was that? Now the cost of a latest Falcon-class battlecruiser is generally more than 32 billion yuan, and the cost of a Daqin-class battleship is as high as 50 billion...that is to say , So far, the ship cost of our four major fleets has exceeded 15 trillion, not counting the early investment in factories in other galaxies, rice grains, second-generation rice grains, super accelerators, etc. "

"All in all, our investment after the war in the past few years has exceeded at least 60 trillion."

"And we contributed most of the money." Qin Weiguo laughed: "Before, the bosses have been undecided whether to advance quickly or wait for the technology to explode. An important reason is that the cost is too high, and you know, The current mechanism of the community is a parliamentary system. In the past, when the enemy was very strong, everyone could work together and feel comfortable giving money and other things, but now..."

Ye Ming hummed slightly.

He does know this, and he also knows that the issuance of "Aita Coin" is essentially the BOSS's plan to rely on a new financial system to coordinate the wealth and information of the entire human society and even the entire local galaxy civilization.

But in fact, there are many difficulties in the implementation process.

The main reason is that some previously developed countries and regions have always expressed strong resistance to this "International" initiative due to various historical and ideological reasons.

Now, it seems that the bosses have completely figured it out and plan to make good use of this "defeat" on the front line to publicize the cruelty and necessity of the current war in a big way, thereby promoting various necessary processes.

For example, vigorously increase military spending, intensify the efforts to sell dumplings, accelerate the integration of global economy and currency, and finally realize the world of Intrachonal - this is what Ye Ming knows, and what the bosses of the elder group most hope for in their lifetime. See the world.

"To be honest...sometimes, the dead are really more useful than the living." Qin Weiguo sighed and reminded Ye Ming to get ready. Maybe the higher-ups were about to find him and then ended the call.

Ye Ming took off his headphones, thought for a moment, took out his phone, and opened social media that he hadn't opened for a long time.

Today's social media has completely shifted from flat surfaces to 3D stereoscopic vision. For example, many people have become accustomed to wearing virtual glasses to enjoy holographic projection information that is close to the real world when they browse their mobile phones or play games in their spare time. Especially for today's college students, the first social media they come into contact with is the three-dimensional community, so almost everyone is used to holographic glasses.

As a promoter of this new technology, Ye Ming has always maintained the habit of two-dimensional vision.

On the one hand, as a person who came from the mobile phone era, he is now a bit "old". On the other hand, the holographic information environment is too easy for people to focus on and waste time.

How could he have so much time to waste?

Fortunately... due to the existence of Aita, the current Internet operating costs have become extremely low, and there is still a large amount of flat visual information media.

On social media, headlines and questions began to flood the screen, and all of them were related to the frontline war.

"Sophie Galaxy Battle Report: One against ten, the Allied forces destroyed hundreds of enemy warships and achieved a new victory. 》

"The wounded on the front line are about to arrive on earth through the artificial portal"

"The leader visited and expressed condolences to the wounded on the front lines of the Kra ethnic group"

"The Kra princess Ewen greets the wounded Kerong people"

"Blue Star Leader Uda Dashi gave a speech on the frontline war"

Slowly flipping through one by one, Ye Ming mainly looked at the messages below.

There is no doubt that after excluding the "trolls" who deliberately set the rhythm - and now they are gone - the attitude of leaving messages truly represents the inner thoughts of ordinary people.

He saw that under these news, except for a few individual weird messages, the rest of the messages were full of indignation and impassioned.

"Dad!" Ye Xiaoxi's voice came from a distance.

Ye Ming looked up at his daughter and Qi Yumo, smiled and took back his cell phone to greet them.

"What did Lao Qin say?" Qi and Mo couldn't help but ask when they saw Ye Ming lowering his head and scrolling through his phone for a while.

Ye Ming suddenly became happy: "You didn't listen just now, and now you are gossiping?"

"I didn't listen just now because I respected your authority! Now the gossip is about respecting my curiosity!" Qi Yumo stared, and finally whispered: "Of course I want to listen if you can tell me."

"Haha... Actually it's nothing. He just reminded me that I might have to go to the capital in a while."

Qi and Mo were startled and said angrily: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have listened - how many days have you been back? Can't we communicate remotely?"

"Yeah..." Ye Ming held his wife's hand with emotion, but unexpectedly, his daughter got in the middle and separated the two.

He, Qi and Mo looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and slowly led their daughter home together.

…

…

The next day, Ye Ming received a call from the capital and asked him to make arrangements. He would go to the capital to attend the meeting a day later and handed him the meeting outline in advance.

Looking at the outline, Ye Ming expressed his admiration for Lao Qin - as expected of Jiang, Lao Qin not only guessed what he was looking for, but even guessed the specific content of the meeting.

In this meeting, as shown by the media and public opinion in the past two days, the Elders want people to truly realize that the war is not over, but is still going on, and is even cruel...

And while reporting on the frontline information, a large amount of information about the Frost Star and the 31st Executor Base Aila Star was also released, including where the ancestors of the Blue Star people were abducted thousands of years ago. The living conditions on the side, etc.

Among them, there are also reports on the hardships of the Blue Star in the process of exile, as well as the in-depth cooperation between the Blue Star and humans, etc...

In short, it once again set off a wave of friendly introductions to the Blue Star people.

You know, the emotions of ordinary human beings are very simple. Not to mention that the Blue Star people are the first aliens that humans have come into contact with. It has even been officially confirmed that the Blue Star people have arrived on the earth thousands of years ago. , the crisis of a meteorite impact was eliminated for the earth, and the warning given by the Blue Stars to humans this time... made humans have a good impression of the Blue Stars a long time ago.

Now I heard that there is still a group of Blue Star people suffering as slaves at the Executor Base, so the call to "attack the enemy's lair" immediately started.

And since public opinion is available, the rest will be much easier to handle...

A week later, Ye Ming left the capital, and then arrived at the space factory without stopping.

There is also a large warship waiting for him to test.

…

…

In the space factory, all senior executives were present. Chief Engineer Peng Xiaofei stood in the second position, welcoming the delegation headed by Qin Weiguo and Ye Ming.

The reason why both of them took the lead was because they were very delayed in deciding who should go first. In the end, Ye Ming shrank behind Qin Weiguo because of his youth, and then began to shake hands with everyone along the way.

Ye Ming and Peng Xiaofei were walking side by side behind him. When he saw Peng Xiaofei winking at him, he knew that this guy must have been on the Mars a long time ago. He glanced sideways at Peng Xiaofei and said, "Don't tell me, you lived up there for a whole day." Night."

"Ah haha, that's not true, but I slept on it." Peng Xiaofei chuckled: "I have to say, sitting on the command chair and feeling the big guy who is more than a kilometer below me, this feeling... really It’s unparalleled.”

"Yes, I believe it." Ye Ming nodded naturally.

"By the way, will this battleship be manned or completely unmanned when it fights in the future?"

The reason why Peng Xiaofei asked this question is entirely because according to the current technology and conditions of mankind, it can be used by both manned and fully unmanned remote control, just like the Daqin-class battleship.

"Passengers."

"Holy crap, how many people are there?"

"It doesn't take much, just the necessary engineers and command team."

As they spoke, the crowd moved toward a landing ship docked at the dock.

Ye Ming's position is with Peng Xiaofei, close to the window of the landing ship.

Through the window, the spaceship outside is like a sky full of stars under the sunlight. As the spacecraft moves, the starlight also turns into a flowing galaxy.

Even if he has seen this scene many times, Ye Ming still can't help but sigh and sigh every time he sees it.

After completing several inspections, the landing ship began to slowly start. As it gradually turned around, a bright light like a lighthouse suddenly came into view.

Ye Ming's pupils shrank instantly, and he subconsciously stuck to the glass and looked at where the light came from.

Gradually, the line of sight adapted to the light, and as the landing ship approached, the outline of the light gradually became clearer.

It is the super battleship, Mars, quietly waiting for big guys like Ye Ming to land and inspect.

…

Just as Peng Xiaofei wondered, although the original design intention of the Mars was to be a pure war weapon and an aerial fortress, in fact, it still retained various manned elements - the most typical one is that it has a restaurant. And the size of the restaurant is not bad, enough to accommodate hundreds of people dining at the same time.

Of course, since there is a restaurant, there is also a matching living cabin and command cabin.

In fact, although the appearance of Mars looks like a multi-turret monster with thorns all over its body, its internal structure is the same as that of battleships such as Daqin. However, due to the addition of secondary guns, it makes it no longer a living cabin. Both the number and the command module are smaller than those of purely manned warships.

After touring the entire spaceship almost at a glance, everyone reboarded the landing ship from the belly of the Mars and left, and then returned to the Taiyue command center on the moon.

Back at the command center, Qin Weiguo never gave in to Ye Mingqian. He stood on the command platform without hesitation, looking at the spacecraft model that occupied half of the hall coming from multiple sensors. Qin Weiguo held the microphone and said, The order to turn on the main energy pile was given.

"Self-checking, start the main energy reactor."

"The main energy pile has been activated."

Following Aita's report, the battleship in the projection began to glow a little bit.

Standing opposite Qin Weiguo, Ye Ming just glanced at the virtual model briefly, then lowered his head and looked at the flat screen in front of him. A series of data on it kept skipping, and one row was all green.

Peng Xiaofei stood behind him and whispered: "Would you like to drive a little further? The recoil of this thing is probably a bit strong, right?"

"Well, Lao Qin knows."

As Ye Ming saw that all the indicators were fully up to standard, he stretched out his hand to make an OK gesture to Qin Weiguo.

Qin Weiguo agreed and immediately issued another order.

"Start the attitude engine and adjust the attitude in the direction of YX135884, YY2451, and YZ12578."

"receive."

Aita's voice fell, and the attitude engine of the Mars began to emit a faint blue light, and then...

It started to squirm in the air like a worm.

Looking at the relative speed data returned on the display screen, a smile appeared on Ye Ming's lips.

This thing...if it can't destroy the enemy, it will really become an iron coffin.

After a long wait, Aita finally sent back a report that they were in place.

Qin Weiguo looked at Ye Ming, who pursed his lips and nodded slowly.
