Chapter 664 The Iron Tower Republic
A province in the Iron Tower Republic is larger than a state capital of Da'ang. Although most of the planets are not much different from each other. However, the railway transportation of the Iron Tower Republic is much better than that of Da'ang. With the star gate as the center, the area derived from the transportation line on the planet is an effective land. Only the capital and the planet where some important administrative cities are located connect to the planets of multiple subordinate provinces. Generally speaking, there is only one star gate for a planet.
The Star Gate is not adjustable after being set. One star gate and one planet will leave a lot of room for expansion for the next step of civilization promotion. When the train approaches the Star Gate of the Green Province of the Iron Tower Republic, Ren Di couldn't help but admire the spectacular man-made scenes around the Star Gate of the Iron Tower Republic.
This is an extremely huge city. The center of the city is one kilometer high. The five-kilometer-long star gate is arranged on one side of the star gate and the other side is arranged to enter, and logistics is maintained at all times. On the high floor of the bottom 100 meters of the star gate, countless bridges connect to the star gate and enter the star gate at different heights. The bridges on both sides of the star gate are like a hill made of steel bars and concrete, and the center of the hill is cut by the star facade. In the hills, countless iron towers are lined up, and these five hundred meters high towers have set up a large number of steel cables in the air. The pods of giant containers hanging above and below the steel cables pass through the star gate. At the top of the star gate, there is space for aircraft to fly.
A height of one thousand meters, up, middle and lower, was completely utilized. The logistics order of industrial society is not comparable to that of Da Ang. This is the capital of the green province. The other side of Xingmen is the capital area. From a higher point, it is like the center of a spider web, with railways gathering here. This is a world of steel.
"The green city has arrived, and five million people live here," Jiuheng said to Ren Di. Ren Di was looking at this city with a strong steel style. The greening is too low, the distance between buildings is not enough, and the housing prices may be extremely expensive. Ren Di gave this evaluation inexplicably.
Whether it is the Da'ang or the Republic of Iron Tower, they all look like oriental people. The buildings also have the style of the Oriental Continental system. Take the earth as an example. The buildings in the world are all steep. In order to allow water to fall freely from the roof, the roof style is different. Europe is a Gothic style. If the roof is not sharp enough, it is not pious to God. The wind and sand in the middle east are strong, so there is a small sharpness on the spherical shape. As for China, the beams support the roof and lay the eaves from high to low tiles.
You can say that religious beliefs are different, but in terms of engineering, they are in line with the structure of local people to deal with the weather and live in. However, with the development of human materials science, under advanced building materials, no matter which style is used, it can be used to prevent wind, sand and water. The practicality of the architectural style is not a necessity. However, this city cannot see traditional culture at all, and it is all flat-topped houses. This is a city built with reinforced concrete.
In this metropolis, Kuangyi Academy also has a branch. The train stopped slowly and a large number of teenagers got off. They will take the next exam in the provincial capital.
Outside the car window, a pair of phoenix eyes looked at Ren Di resentful. When Ren Di turned his face, these eyes immediately left. Ren Di knew that this was Han Qin, and Jiuheng also saw this scene and said, "You are hated by her."
Ren Di said: "This kind of emotion is not good for her, but as time goes by, she should be able to calm down." Jiuheng nodded and said: "It's great. For people you will never meet again, let time take it away like water."
Ren Di said, "Where are you? Don't you get off the boat?" Jiuheng said, "I am responsible for sending you and fourteen other guides from other provinces to the capital province."
Half an hour later, the train continued to start, and after making an appointment with the Star Gate, it arrived at the planet where the capital of the Iron Tower Republic is located. There are three continents on this planet, and the planet has been completely controlled by the Iron Tower Republic. Star Gate in various provinces and regions is located here. In the area where the Star Gate is located, there are even islands on the ocean. After entering the Star Gate, the materials controlled by a province will pour out directly on the island port on the ocean, and then a large amount of materials will be shipped and transported to cities in various coastal areas.
These islands are backed by a star gate, so the economy is very developed. After passing through the star gate, Ren Di arrives in such an island city.
There are a total of three star gates on this island that is equivalent to the area of Honolulu, with materials transferred from three planets behind it. This island is also a financial center.
When Ren Di walked out of the transit station like a mound of the mixed steel territory of Star Gate No. 3, he saw the city and bought a map of the capital area. A minute later, he said: "There is a lot to do in this world battleship."
Yes, this world battleships are even more effective than aircraft carriers. There are a large number of marine island cities in this world. Every city does not need to rely on the supply of materials from the mainland, and can directly obtain materials from the star gate, just like the Blue Coral City where Ren Di is located. There are three star gates on it. Animal resources can be increased from three planets, and the external routes are blocked. You can still survive.
This city is equivalent to three different dimension continents, a contact point on the ocean of this planet. The strategic value of routes on the earth is extremely high. Because for island countries, once the route is cut off, the island countries will completely lose external channels for material supply. And within the range of ships with a very large combat radius such as aircraft carrier battle groups, there is no need to blow up your city, and the sea area around you will be blocked directly.
It is of no strategic significance to block large areas of waters in this world. As for the little aircraft on an aircraft carrier to attack land-based air defense towers and roadbed clusters, it is very unwise to do.
There are more than 30,000 planets in the Iron Tower Republic, and more than 30,000 star gates are arranged on major coastlines and island cities. Most naval battles are not ocean-going naval battles, but offshore naval battles. No one pays attention to you when you cruise in the blue water. Just like you are racing in an unmanned land, no police will catch you.
The dense star gate erecting greatly reduces transportation costs. The cost of transportation from one planet to another is extremely low. When you reach the near Star Gate in the capital area, you only need to span a few hundred kilometers to find what you want to transport in another city. Ocean transportation, such as high-cost transportation, cannot compete. Therefore, there is no transport ship on the blue water ocean.
The entire planet is highly regionalized. If there is conflict, it means there is conflict with neighboring areas. Send a cluster of battleships to travel hundreds of kilometers and use a naval gun to deter it. As for aircraft carriers, first of all, you don’t have to cross a few thousand kilometers to bomb other city-states that are not related to your interests. Secondly, even if you fly all the way, you will be intercepted by a large number of fighter jets taking off by city-states.
The battleship formation with thick skin is the soldiers under the command of various marine city-states. The entire Iron Tower Planet (Capital Star) is entrenched by twenty-seven families. They all have city-states that their families have absolutely controlled, and their businesses are also operating in multiple neutral city-states.
On this special planet, large-scale military conflicts have been extinguished for thousands of years, and the camps led by twenty-seven families have been fighting for thousands of years, and now there is an economic attack between various city-states.
The edge of the Blue Coral City is like a serrated block, with ship berths arranged in an orderly manner everywhere. Ren Di took the subway to arrive at the No. 7 passenger cruise ship. Ren Di will conduct a voyage of 3,000 kilometers.
Merchants don’t need to travel far away on this planet, and if students want to go to the school on this planet, they must travel far away on this planet.
On the blue sea, super battleships with a displacement of at least 60,000 tons and seven battleships with a displacement of 30,000 tons are escorting all the way. This super-large battleship is more of a glory in this world. Just like the sailing era on Earth, wooden battleships often have many carvings, showing the wealth and power of the noble forces in the manufacturing of battleships.
Ren Di feels that if the world can enter the era of large-scale automated chip production, the output of various high-precision parts is enough. A missile boat of 500 to 1,000 tons is enough.
There are missiles in this world, which can be seen from the configuration of the battleships. However, the output of missiles is obviously a bit touching. If you really want to start fighting, these giant battleships should first act as mobile missile launch platforms.
There is a huge difference between missiles and artillery shells. The shells of the Iowa-class battleship weigh a little 2 tons, and the standard low-speed heavy artillery shells designed to reduce air resistance. This thing is a pile of iron, with only 20 kilograms of explosives inside. After smashing through the armor, the damage caused is limited. Sometimes it even penetrates the weak armor on the bow, and then comes out directly from the other end and explodes directly in the ocean on the other side.
The missiles do not have such a heavy shell. The warheads inside the ship-based missiles, that is, explosives, are at least one or two hundred kilograms. What is the concept of one or two hundred kilograms. Don't be fooled by nuclear weapons at thousands of tons of TNT energy. A few hundred kilograms of explosives are not used as explosives. Please refer to the Shijiazhuang explosion case, which is more than one hundred kilograms of civilian explosives, and directly blow up a dormitory building with a brick and stone structure. If a warship encounters a ship-based missile, if it is lucky to be bombed to a key position, it will be half-destroyed, and a large area on the warship is paralyzed.
For specific results, please refer to the flying fishes in the Battle of the Horse Island. Argentina had only a few flying fishes, which made the British Empire nervous. Use diplomatic forces to prevent Argentina from obtaining additional missile sources in the international community. This is the power of missiles, and enough explosives will send you missiles to heaven.
