Chapter 27.03 Technology moves forward, society moves backward(1/2)
In this plot plane code-named "Future Storm".
Traveling through the sixth month, Wei Keng was speechless about the war here, and could no longer sing cheerful tunes. He also repeatedly cursed the low-level development of this world, Wei Keng: This is using the most high-tech weapons to fight an unspeakable war.
war.
After the Great Time Travel era, with the opening of multiple historical lines, materialist historians have concluded that in certain historical periods, with the slow development of technology, war organizations may not necessarily increase, and the level of civilized warfare will recede.
.
For example, classical empires such as Qin, Han, and Rome had the most efficient agricultural mobilization system at that time.
By the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the development of science and technology and economy had long been different. Iron tools were widely popularized, and animal power and water conservancy allowed the social economy to control large amounts of farmland with less manpower. However, there was a regression in military organization.
During the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the professional and standardized troops of the Qin and Han Dynasties disappeared, and all those with combat effectiveness became the Wubao armed forces of local clans and the armed forces of Western knights. The nationwide large-scale corps fighting during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was no longer seen.
Wei Keng: This is because the development of civilization is a seesaw. Economic development and military development are at two ends of the same lever. When science and technology serve as a weight on the economic end, the military end becomes lighter.
Because when the development of society is on the economic side, the economically advantaged class occupies the economically advantaged class and uses less resources to control other people more cost-effectively. There is no need to consider controlling the hearts and minds of the grassroots, so the country's military awareness is weakened.
Right now, the war between the Star Sea Alliance and the Eagle Empire is like this.
With the level of information technology, everyone has electronic monitoring, but the non-commissioned officer system has been reduced to the level before Napoleon, and grassroots soldiers are not allowed to have independent and subjective war thoughts.
At this time, the military ethics of the Star Sea Federation in this plane were compared to those of the original industrial countries two hundred years ago. Wei Keng had to compare it with the Song Dynasty. However, the military level of the Song Dynasty was almost the same as that of the Warring States countries before the reform.
Oh, the difficulty of the Qin, Qi, Zhao, Wei, and Chu reforms was to overwhelm the established public ministers of the major powers. More than a thousand years later, the scholar-bureaucrat class in the Song Dynasty was comparable to the public ministers of the Warring States Period. At this time, the virtues of the business and private oligarchs who had become rich for n generations,
Not much better than the landlords and clan masters.
…In this era, the ministers and officials are chatting and laughing in elegant residences, while more people are staying in mountain temples on snowy nights…
As Military Operation Order No. 0345 was issued, six hours later, as the final executor, Wei Keng avoided landmines during the death march, but could not escape the onrushing self-exploding tires.
Suddenly, a lot of people were wiped out. On the contrary, Wei Keng relied on the explosion crater and let the tires fly over his head, escaping the disaster. Then came the Imperial Grenadiers from all directions, as well as the one three kilometers directly in front of him.
The 30-meter-tall Judge land armor was rotating the turret platform on its mechanical feet, aiming the muzzle in its direction.
Just when Wei Keng was about to "rout", he heard the heart-wrenching sound of mechanical feet clicking from behind, and turned around to see it was a large mecha Reaper.
This is a five-meter-tall "butcher-level intelligent machine" that can open intermittent space folding within a range of 400 meters.
Wei Keng saw this kind of killing machine from the "Avengers camp" for the first time, and was about to pretend to be dead, but suddenly remembered the plot. At present, the "human-machine fusion" Avengers camp has not rebelled, and it still belongs to the Federation.
Reinforcements belonging to one's side. - From another perspective, the federal commanders used Wei Keng's group of machine gunners to attack the mines, and then took out these expensive combat machines.
The Reaper's scythe is an absolute nightmare for infantry.
In the future storm, fallen soldiers can be resurrected, but the pain before death will not be relieved.
For the infantry, after encountering this kind of intelligent machine, being cut in half is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is being slashed diagonally from the shoulder to the crotch by the Reaper's scythe.
As the huge Reaper mecha rushed towards him, even though he knew that its target was not him, Wei Keng's whole body became more sensitive to an unprecedented height as the buzzing space energy vibrated.
The ability to foresee time and space appeared again, and it successfully predicted that the robot would swing the electromagnetic vibrating blade and activate super electromagnetic acceleration to rush towards the Empire's tanks ahead.
Wei Keng immediately turned around, and a beautiful "spirit rat rolling oil pan" rolled into the mecha's arms, and then stuck to the mecha's arms like a sucker fish, and then...
Wei Keng, a machine gunner, charges with the mecha like a shadow. As a pendant on the waist of the five-meter-tall intelligent machine, the impact of the mecha is seen. Wei Keng shoots with a Gauss rifle. - When lightweight intelligent machines are combined with human subjective initiative,
This already looks like a dragon guard.
Ever since, in the federal monitoring system's military merit determination, this special case of "a beneficial combination of the two" was quickly noticed. Generally, the Avenger omnic's loss rate is as high as 40% after three rounds of charge, while the Defender's
In the arms of the Keng mecha, after using the Gauss rifle to cover it, the mechas Wei Keng was attached to moved in and out seven times.
Note: The regional intelligent evaluation system quickly determined Wei Keng’s military exploits and calibrated that Wei Keng may have completed the “Future Awakening”.
Forty minutes later, Wei Keng climbed down and hid on the side of his own "Armored Core" (a five-meter suspended ball-state mecha), feeling the "premonition of time and space" just now. Just now, his premonition of time and space was in the air.
The time is extended by four seconds, and targets within a range of thirty meters can be seen in space.
Wei Keng took a breath: "The "source energy" of this world is based on time and space."
Wei Keng has just completed the first stage of "tracing to the source". Tracing to the source only represents the intensity of "consciousness". "Consciousness" "twists the rules" in various plot worlds in the heavens to produce "source energy", so powerful consciousness can exist in different heavens.
The "super effects" of planes are different...
Three hours later, the combat mission ended, and Wei Keng was recalled to the base. In the super-time and space plane composed of nano clouds in the base, which was like a 3D printed mirror, Wei Keng was teleported to the base.
Wei Keng realized that during the space jump just now, every molecule of the entire body was transformed into one dimension, as if his consciousness could somehow feel the "stars" in the interdimensional layer.
Wei Keng confirmed and affirmed: If he wanted to, he could escape from this plane just now.
Now Wei Keng, as an "elite" who has awakened the premonition of time and space, no longer has to walk through the rusty passage full of cigarettes and alcohol smell.
When he arrived at his exclusive position, Wei Keng saw those non-commissioned officers with obviously higher "quality" talking about the news in twos and threes. They all had the ability to predict premonitions in time and space. (Wei Keng later learned that these elites only had
, In a crisis, a premonition at the microsecond level is different from your own future vision of tens of seconds.)
Judging the "quality" of a social class, Wei Keng: When people in this class pay attention to daily details, they will reduce "overdraft" consumption
For example, among the current non-commissioned officers, Wei Keng obviously found that they were different from the grassroots soldiers in that they did not drink or smoke.
After Wei Keng opened the system and checked the information, he sighed that they would pay more attention to their own health and stability.
Although in this era, every soldier also has a "time and space template" backup, but among the top military officials, they will not waste their lives endlessly.
Because research shows that every death will damage a person's ability to "see" in time and space. Yes, in the future storm plane, physics allows for warping. Everyone theoretically has future vision, but most people
In the confusion of not paying attention to the development of life again and again, this "future vision" is lost.
Wei Keng opened the public introduction system here and determined that the elites now pay special attention to the time and space sensitivity of their consciousness during the transition process.
Perhaps when these elites are on the battlefield, their consciousness of the crisis is only momentary, but it is very useful.
Since this kind of "time and space prediction" is related to one's own identity and rank, these elite soldiers will naturally not squander it at will.
Wei Keng lamented: “This is the reason why the property owners in commercialism are sometimes said to be of higher quality than the have-nots. Because different classes’ values are promoted, the higher classes are promoted to value certain values, while the lower classes are promoted not to value them.
"
As an unruly citizen, Wei Keng hates nothing more than those sanctimonious guys: in a direction with no development potential and a direction that requires a lot of investment, they shout for everyone to work selflessly for the public. They seem to be important promoters, but the truly valuable resources
, the development direction with potential was optimized and allocated based on the judgment of "competent people".
The transformation from a big soldier to an elite is a small step for Wei Keng.
Wei Keng's new barracks is a gathering place for the military's two technological arms, such as shaped energy tanks, Poseidon chariots, Nightingale healing spaceships, Osprey delta-wing high-speed fighters, and various vehicle personnel gather here.
The value of these large equipment is higher, so people with a sense of time need to operate with caution.
...Shangsi talks about "everyone is free and equal", but in fact, he considers everyone's value in his heart...
In the elite barracks, Wei Keng stood blankly at the exit of the hall for a minute. If he were in the original first-level barracks, he would have been immediately targeted by everyone, and then he would show off his power.
But here, Wei Keng stood in the circle of light, waiting for orders, and no one paid attention.
After the system arrived, Wei Keng was led to the scheduled registration area and wartime training began.
During the training and assessment in the holographic warehouse, Wei Keng was assigned to the pilot department and received an Osprey fighter jet.
Wei Keng completed the training in six days. As the war in the south became more and more intense, more and more heavy equipment was put into the Burma River battlefield.
The base deployed by the Federation in the area underwent two rounds of resource upgrades sixteen days later and successfully determined a large-scale equipment jump channel, becoming the Sanben Science and Technology Base.
Today's Star Sea Federation, due to the advancement of its energy system, has gradually abolished traditional maritime battleships and instead developed "air battleship" units for strategic projection.
Because tens of thousands of tons of metal vehicles of the same size are enough to put down fusion power energy and anti-gravity systems, then why do we need to develop surface combat ships? This is just like the advancement of mobile phones, Walkmans, MP4s, and mobile phones have been cancelled.
Space printing technology can quickly and cheaply produce various large-scale vehicles, which has brought unprecedented productivity prosperity.
…This is a wonderful business era where both “people” and “equipment” can be squandered.…
Wei Keng looked at the screen in the cockpit: A few months ago, during the air parade over Puhai City, the armed battleship Glory slowly floated past the top of the city's skyscrapers.
It is eighty meters long and thirty meters wide. The central cockpit is a hemispherical water drop. When the ship is parked, it is fully 21 meters above the ground. The total tonnage of the warship ranges from 1,700 tons to 2,300 tons.
The difference in tonnage mainly depends on what kind of combat module is loaded. - Some are loaded with a large number of air missiles, and some are used to transform the escape cabin into combat modules for the sake of personnel safety.
Judging from Wei Keng's perspective, this "Glory Class Battleship" cannot be called a battleship. It is just a large, wingless fighter.
Although the name is a "battleship," its operating platform is only the size of a traditional bomber, only twenty square meters.
There are no more than five pilots. And the operation center is designed according to the streamlined water drop warehouse where the pilot is located, ensuring the pilot's aerial observation angle, but it is slightly larger.
Note: The water drop ball cockpit of the 21st century third-generation fighter jet is only half a meter wide, but the bomber cabin is three meters wide.
The controller of the Glory Battleship sits on a handle-like seat, and his body can sway along with the one-meter-high handle. The cockpit of several people without moving around shows that this is a combat unit, not a strategic unit. Because there is no
"Strategy Meeting Room".
The most obvious way to distinguish strategic and tactical units is to look at the "highest military rank they carry."
Strategic units often have a vital position in the "chain of command."
If the Glory Battleship is a strategic unit, it will be equipped with a meeting space for the command team.
According to the current overall military level, this decision-making space can at least allow the commander, staff team and logistics officers, more than thirty people, to make strategic decisions.
Even a simple decision-making space, such as a cave dwelling on a high loess slope, cannot be accommodated on an airplane.
For example, when the head of state draws a circle on the map before calling him "scumbag" in the Doomsday Fortress, there will be a circle of people around him. It looks crowded, but the internal facilities are complete.
In the combat hall of a real strategic "ship", the "school" level officer responsible for commanding the entire ship is in the work area and is responsible for coordinating the collaboration of various working groups such as "radar" and "firepower".
