Chapter 2824 Era
After fourteen years, the first planetary engine started up, and the spectacular tail flame was broadcast live to the world, and even a flashing place on the earth was seen from the weather satellite.
It burned for ten days, then reduced the power to serve as a power plant, and then entered the underground city to experience life, because no one knew what problems would be encountered in the underground city. Although the designer has considered it very fully, it does not mean that there will be no other accidents. It's like game designers always think that their games are perfect, but when they are in the hands of players, players can always do something weird. The imagination of users is beyond that of designers, and they can always find loopholes that designers have never thought of.
So you have to live first, and then make various repairs. After all, no one has ever lived in an underground city for a long time before, and what needs to be improved can only be known through practice. After practice, subsequent underground cities can be improved.
Many people bought the underground city industry out of curiosity. Of course, some people bought it because they were worried about nuclear war. In short, there were many people who lived in the first batch. As for others, they can only go into the underground city to take a look when they travel.
As an experiencer, Duran knows very well that the process of promoting the wandering plan is far more exciting than the process of executing the wandering plan. There are all kinds of struggles and compromises in the process of promotion. Although there are sharp confrontations in the process of implementation, they are the sequelae after paying a heavy price.
It is like World War II is a continuation of World War I. Although the tactics of World War II are more exciting than those of World War I, many strategies were laid by World War I, and World War II is just a supplement. Contradictions also existed in World War I, and World War II is just a continuation.
After the two eras of braking and escaping, mankind has paid a huge price. The rebels in the wandering era are just inevitable in the historical cycle. After wandering to a certain era, rebels will inevitably appear, because the foundation of the rebels has been laid in the era of engine construction, but the power is not enough to stop the plan.
For Duran, the process of preparing the wandering plan is more exciting, because this is the first time that all mankind has tried to merge, and the first time that people all over the world have established a standard. The planetary engine is the totem of all mankind.
In ancient times, when humans formed tribes from blood clans, they would use totems. In the industrial age, if humans want to go out of the country, they must also have a totem to unite people from different countries.
So although human technology has been developing, in fact, the trajectory of human behavior has not changed. We can see clues of human future from history. Duran wants to see the construction of the totem of the new era and the hard running-in of people all over the world. There will definitely be wars in the later stage, which is not about right or wrong, but only about winning or losing. The process of running-in is also a process of accumulating contradictions. When the contradictions finally break out, there will definitely be a winner. Barbarianism will defeat civilization and error will defeat correctness again and again, but history will make a judgment in the end.
The erection of the totem represents a set of standards, a set of distribution relationships established around the planetary engine. With the establishment of the first planetary engine, the vested interests will promote it with all their strength.
It's like when Shang Yang carried out the reform, everyone opposed it at the beginning, but ten years later, many people supported it, because vested interests had appeared within ten years. Everyone saw the benefits of the reform, so they would naturally go all out to rush towards the reform, so after Shang Yang's death, his law was still implemented.
Of course, the doubts about helium flash and planetary engines have never stopped, because there is only so much money, and the money has flowed into the planetary engine industry. Other industries don't have so much money, so they naturally have to question it. But the planetary engine industry involves too many technologies, from light industry to heavy industry, from rare earth refining to material processing, not to mention high-end technologies such as chips and lithography machines, all of which can be used, and everyone can share a piece of the pie in harmony. In the past fourteen years, these companies that have made a lot of money relying on planetary engines have also launched a heavy punch to compete with the voices questioning helium flash.
Although the voices of doubt have raised scientific uncertainties, they insist that the sun is just a cold and will recover soon. Although what they said makes sense, can they use money to compensate the companies for questioning others? No, their doubts cannot make money.
On the contrary, as long as the planetary engine can continue to be built, these profit-making companies can make money and can continuously support the theory of "helium flash is inevitable". Even if they are not 100% sure, they will say that the sun is already terminally ill and incurable. Is it profitable? Not bad.
As the planetary engine begins to generate electricity, it seems that there is a possibility of making a profit, because the planetary engine not only only needs to burn stones, but is also designed to have a service life of 2,500 years. The service life of 2,500 years is slightly less than that of the pyramids, and it can be said to be the second longest service life of facilities in human history. The longest pyramid is a tomb, which can only create tourism value, while the planetary engine can generate electricity all the time. If the power generation of 2,500 years is converted into money, it has exceeded the manufacturing cost of the engine, so in the long run, this is a sure-win business.
So don't miss it if you pass by, and install a planetary engine for your country. With a service life of 2,500 years, you will not suffer a loss or be fooled if you buy it. One can be used as a national treasure, a one-time investment, and enjoy it for 2,500 years.
The benefits of planetary engines suddenly increased, such as defense against nuclear war, prevention of helium flash, long service life, and guaranteed return on investment. It is even said that the light of the tail flame can treat cancer, anti-aging, treat kidney deficiency, and make children smarter. Science and metaphysics are circular punches, which make ordinary people dazzled.
The first step is taken, but there are still various problems behind. Duran began to wander around various construction sites, feeling the changes and evolution of production modes, and the changes in the production and construction process of planetary engines, scale, centralization, modularization, standardization, humanization, automation, mechanization, and safety.
Various new technologies are easier to use, and women and the elderly can operate them. From rolling in the mud at the beginning, the construction site is becoming more and more comfortable and safer in the later stage. Many technologies have also been transferred to civilian use, used in civilian products such as cars and smart butlers.
However, with the construction of planetary engines, everyone will also worry about whether they will really wander. After all, the wandering plan is not a joke. Once the braking era is entered, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and other disasters will erupt in full swing, and many people will die.
It is unknown whether the sun will have a helium flash, but if the earth brakes, many people will definitely die, and it is impossible for everyone to enter the underground city.
The first batch of workers who built the planetary engine have grown old, and the new batch of workers have different ideas. They think that the bosses of the company earn too much and they earn too little. They are very anxious and worried that "those who wear silk clothes are not silkworm breeders". They are worried that although they have built the underground city, they will not be qualified to enter in the end.
If there is only one silk dress in the world, only a few people will fight for it. When there are 10,000 pieces of silk in the world, there will be more people fighting. Yan Zi of Qi said that dogs are usually very harmonious, but once a piece of meat is thrown in, the dogs will fight to the death. So when there is only one underground city, most people know that it is not their turn, but when there are more underground cities, they will think about getting their own place.
Some people may ask if it would be better to build more, but this is unrealistic. First of all, it is a problem of resources. Secondly, people who have already lived in the underground city will no longer care about those who have not lived in it. They want to seek new growth points instead of continuing to build for those who have not entered the underground city.
Therefore, it is impossible to build enough underground cities to satisfy everyone. First, the resources may not be enough. Second, even if the resources are enough, it is not profitable and no one will invest.
It is still the story of Yan Zi. King Jing of Qi felt cold and put on a fur coat. After a while, he began to complain why it was not cold enough. Yan Zi said that when a saint is full, he will think of others who are not full, when he is warm, he will think of others who are not warm, and when he is comfortable, he will think of others who are still working. It's a pity that only saints think so. How many saints are there in the world? Most people just eat and wear warm clothes, but they don't think about those who don't live in the underground city.
So the first generation of workers are workers and don't consider living in the underground city. But as the discussion of the wandering plan becomes more and more heated, their children must consider whether to live in it. After all, if they don't live in it, they may die. Times have changed, and the issues to consider have changed.
Anxiety is increasing, especially the number of planetary engines is increasing, the more people worry that one day we will enter the braking era. Wouldn't those who don't have underground city tickets be finished? But the number of underground cities is limited, and even if they are full, they can only accommodate half of the population. No matter how you look at it, you can't afford a house in the underground city, isn't it dead? Since you are going to die, why bother moving bricks?
