Sword of Daybreaker - Chapter 1496

The Silver Empire and the Typhon Empire each proposed a refuge plan that has a chance to be realized under the current technological level and production capacity, regardless of whether it is the refuge metropolis or the Gondor refuge. Both plans have their own distinct characteristics and some Defects that cannot be ignored.

Typhon’s refuge metropolitan clusters have higher safety factors, higher disaster tolerance, and lower implementation costs. Refuge cities spread all over the continent and isolated from each other are equivalent to “civilized backups” scattered all over the world. , Even if an accident occurs in some of the refuges, as long as the neural network behind the metropolitan cluster does not completely collapse, as long as a few refuges survive, the civilization as a whole has been continued.

However, this plan required to give up more than half of the world’s population from the beginning, and to be honest… It is still unknown whether the small-scale refuge cities can have sufficient protection against the evil tide.

The Silver Empire’s plan is likely to protect the world’s population. At the same time, the scale of the Gondor Refuge ensures that the “output” of the entire barrier system is strong and reliable. However, the disaster tolerance of this plan itself is a fatal flaw. The sentinel tower operating at the critical point is the biggest weakness of the refuge. Frankly speaking, it may be helpless to put all the eggs in one basket in the face of world natural disasters like the demonic tide, but the biggest problem with this plan is the “basket”. “It may not be very strong…

What’s more, even if there are no problems with the Gondor Refuge from beginning to end, it is still a century-old problem how the huge population who migrated to the refuge can persist until the refuge is reopened.

Many people think that the magic wave lasts for a short time, and people only need to endure in the refuge for half a year to a year to be safely liberated. Therefore, the hard life in the refuge is not a problem at all. Forbearance is over, but Gao Wen is very It is clear that this “difficulty” also has its limits, especially when the management functions of various countries have fallen sharply after entering the refuge, the ability of a large population to maintain rationality and order is not worth looking forward to.

In one and a half years, the barrier system used to construct the shelter and the migration project itself are enough to squeeze the production capacity and mobilization capacity of various countries, and the alliance will hardly have enough power to be in the wasteland where the pollution has not completely subsided. Build a sufficient number of settlements that meet the standard, and cannot prepare enough food, medicine, water purification and protective equipment for all people in the world to consume for a year. The survival resources in the shelter will be far less than the population it contains. , This is almost inevitable.

Therefore, in Gawain’s view, although the Silver Empire’s refuge plan nominally protects mortals all over the world, within the refuge, about half of the population may still passively lose the basic conditions for survival. This is no different from the Typhon Empire’s “giving up more than half of the population to meet the size limit of the refuge metropolis”.

No, this is even worse—because half of the population that was abandoned in disguise is also inside the barrier.

Only hunger in this world cannot be eliminated through any compromise and patience.

Gawain believes that this is not the only one who can think of this. Belcetia and her courtier advisers must have gone through repeated deliberations and discussions. They are well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the Gondor refuge plan, but they just don’t care about them. How many adjustments to this plan are made, the hard shortcomings are destined to be impossible to eliminate, and these shortcomings are the “price” that civilization has to pay for the survival of it.

After briefly discussing and weighing the silver empire’s plan, Gao Wen finally turned his attention to the two dragon leaders: “I want to hear the opinions of Tarrond and the Holy Dragon Principality.”

Balogre and Herragor exchanged glances, and the latter stood up. The golden dragon who was once the chief scientific leader of Tarrond and served the gods for 1.87 million years as a priest The voice is calm: “We have two plans, these two plans can be carried out at the same time, and they also have obvious shortcomings.”

“Two plans?” Bersetia’s voice was surprised. She did not expect that the dragon not only discussed the plan in such a short preparation time before the meeting, but even prepared two at a time, which made her feel better. Subconsciously lamenting that the other party deserves to be the strongest civilization in the world, but also has an uncontrollable curiosity, “How specific?”

“The first plan is similar to the Gondor Refuge in the Silver Empire,” Herragor nodded and said unhurriedly, “We are planning to restart the Tarrond Great Shield.”

“Talrond’s Great Shield?!” Gawain was shocked. “Didn’t it have been destroyed on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony? You have the ability to rebuild it so soon?”

“…It has not been completely destroyed,” Herragor was silent for two seconds, then gently shook his head, “It just went out… We completed a round-trip inspection of the Tarrond continent not long ago, and we were surprised to find that it was around Ninety percent of the shielding devices on the entire continental border are in fact intact, and only the section on the southeast coast is completely destroyed. That was… when the gods rushed out of the continent to intercept the spacecraft and were torn apart by the gravity field. Part, and this short paragraph can be tried to repair with our current capabilities.

“As for the rest of the shield generators around the mainland, they are actually only temporarily shut down due to the overload of the energy system and offline…all of them can be restarted in a short time.”

Gao Wen opened his eyes wide, and for several seconds he didn’t know what to say. This is a situation that everyone, even the dragons themselves, had never thought of. At one time, everyone thought that the Tarrond Great Shield had been completely destroyed by the Dragon God. But in fact, that thing was miraculously preserved, but due to the difficult situation in the short time after the war, the dragons themselves did not have the energy to inspect the entire territory, and did not even think of checking the shield conditions, so this matter until Only found out now…

But then again, on the terrifying battlefield like the coming-of-age ceremony, how did the big shield survive?

Gawain was puzzled, but his gaze suddenly froze again. Looking at Herragor and Balogir sitting across the round table, he couldn’t help but come up with an idea—perhaps, he was afraid that they would be cold…

He shook his head, threw some irrelevant thoughts out of his mind, and stared at Herragor with scorching eyes: “After restarting the Talrond shield? This shouldn’t be the whole plan, after all, according to what I have learned. Knowing that the large shield alone does not have the function of resisting the magic wave.”

“Yes,” Herragor nodded slightly. “Restarting the large shield is only the first step. Since the hardware foundation is still in place, the part that needs to be repaired is only a small section, so this step can be completed soon. After this, we will begin to try to link the’Unification Field of Mind’ to the Great Shield-this is theoretically feasible.

“In the age of the cradle of eternity, the Talrond Great Shield once sheltered the dragon from the devil wave several times. What it relied on was actually the Dragon God linked to the Great Shield, and according to the message sent by the Noi Technical documents and recent research results of the alliance, the position of this “god” actually corresponds to the unified field of mind. If the theory is correct, then the connection technology we used to use on the big shield should be directly applied to the unified field of mind. The above… only need some compatibility adjustments at most.

“I, Andal, and Balroger have studied the blueprints sent by the Neumanns. Although there are still many technical details that need to be confirmed, in general, I think my judgment is correct. The shield can be a carrier of the neural network and the unified field of mind—this is the same as the effect of the sentry tower, or even better.”

Gawain nodded slightly as he listened. From the perspective of the reliability of the whole system, the Tarrond Great Shield may be a better solution than the Sentinel Tower Barrier-that thing has a higher technical level and a better hardware status. , And the Tarrond Great Shield itself has many redundant nodes, and more importantly…this thing has been tested in practice.

After all, the dragons have survived the magic tide more than once with this thing. In a sense, their large shield was even originally designed to resist the magic tide. Even now, this large shield just lacks a demon resistance. The trendy “signal source” is just that. This signal source used to be the Dragon God Enya, but now it is very likely that it can be directly and seamlessly switched to the unified field of mind, a more advanced and harmless solution.

But it is not enough to have only one barrier in the refuge—the asylum needs to survive in it.

Gawain raised his own question, and Herragor’s answer appeared to be prepared: “Most areas of Tarrond have indeed been turned into wasteland after the Battle of the Manhood Ceremony, but after the war, they spared no effort to clean up and rebuild, although The whole territory has not yet been recovered, but great progress has been made. At present, one-fifth of our land belongs to the “green zone” without pollution and hazardous organisms, and about two-fifths of the area is risk-controllable. Residents The “yellow area” where you can live in a short-term stay in a group of self-defense, the remaining dangerous areas also have clear borders and perfect protection and early warning methods, and more importantly… we already have a certain scale of infrastructure, and at the same time resume some production The operation of the center may not be sufficient, but at least it is not as wasteland as the Gondor Wasteland.”

Having said that, he paused, organized a few words, and continued: “There is another point. Many of the infrastructure and material reserves of Tarrond are set up in accordance with the standards of the dragon, and a giant living in the form of a dragon. If a dragon keeps itself in a human form for a long time, it can save a lot of resource consumption and living space. Even in more extreme cases, as long as we don’t switch forms, we can endure months of hunger… which is almost enough to persist until the end of the magic wave. The rations that came down could save millions more.”

Gao Wen frowned: “This…”

“We have discussed this in the clan, and everyone has no opinion,” Herragor said before Gao Wen continued. His gaze swept across the two leaders of Typhon and the Silver Empire at the same time, Wei Wei Nodded, “After the coming-of-age ceremony, dozens of countries in the Alliance have collected food and medicines and sent them to Tarrond. These things allowed most of the survivors to survive the first difficult days after the war. The dragon is reported by the knowledge of grace.”

The round table was quiet for a while, until Rosetta frowned slightly and broke the silence in thought: “Perhaps what I want to say is a bit of a destructive atmosphere, but this should still be not enough…Talrond’s living space is much smaller than that of Gondor. The refuge, and it’s located in the Arctic Ocean, is inconvenient to transport personnel and material resources. No matter how much people go inside, no matter how much materials are saved, I am afraid that many people will still be left outside the barrier, right?”

“So we have a second plan that can be carried out at the same time to accommodate other people,” Herragor nodded, “The cost and time required to restart the Tarrond shield is not much, and the dragons can be independent. When this is done, the alliance can save enough resources and energy to open up a’second shelter’.”

“Second shelter?” Gao Wen frowned.

“In fact, we have a natural shelter, which can be directly’moved in’ without any’handling’. It is absolutely safe and reliable. The demonic wave will not affect it in the slightest, and its scale is not too small. Maybe not enough to accommodate everyone, but at least enough to accommodate those people outside the Tarrond Great Shield,” Herragor smiled slightly, “Have you forgotten… the Alliance still controls a’Divine Kingdom’?”

“You mean the kingdom of God of War?!” Gawain was taken aback. This was completely beyond his expectation and belonged to a proper blind spot of vision, but he soon realized that this was an excellent idea, “Yes. , The realm of the Kingdom of God is a natural barrier to the magic tide…”

“The kingdom of God was born based on mortal thoughts and belongs to the standard model of the’observer effect closed loop’. Even if the gods themselves fall, as long as the kingdom of God has not completely dissipated, its interior will still not be affected by the demonic tide,” Herago You nodded, “Although the God of War God Kingdom is currently in a state of accelerating’disintegration’, this disintegration process is calculated in decades or even hundreds of years. For the demonic wave that will end in three years, it will be an extremely stable and safe refuge.

“We don’t have to worry about any’hardware failure’ in the Refuge of God’s Kingdom, we don’t have to worry about it being broken down, and we don’t even need additional neural networks and mental unity to maintain its operation. Mortals defeated the God of War with their own hands. There is no need to worry about mental pollution in the National Refuge, and there is no waste soil poisoning and dangerous creatures in it, and its environment is stable and safe… It is said that Cecil’s agronomists even tried to grow vegetables in the Temple of God of War and succeeded? ”

Hearing the sight cast by Herragor, Gawain nodded: “Indeed, we brought in some equipment and materials from outside, and built a small-scale hydroponic farm in the Temple of God of War. The harvest was good, and we It also tested a circulating water purification facility that does not rely on magic to operate, and it has also been successful…”

Beside Bersetia was stunned, she stared at Gawain: “How could you think of… doing this kind of experiment in the kingdom of God of War?”

“Why not?” Gawain stretched out his hands. “When you find a place where the environment is mild and the climate is stable, and you happen to have never grown vegetables before, don’t you want to grow something?”

Bersetia thought for a while, but was speechless.

Herragor understood very well the fact that “the Cecil people tried to grow vegetables in the Kingdom of God of War and succeeded”, and even when he first learned about it, he did not have the slightest surprise, because he knew very well that this was true. It is an important part of the many technologies of alien exploration-and it is a rare part that can be lighted up without triggering the “final disobedience”.

For this dragon leader who personally led the dragon aerospace project, he actually noticed this from Gao Wen’s many actions a long time ago… The Cecil’s eyes have turned to the stars. The sea.
