Chapter 2214: The Technological Iteration Speed of the Dragon Kingdom
On the other end of the live stream.
When everyone on Dragon Star saw the survivors appear in the inner sea of Satellite Base No. 1, they cheered.
More than half a year.
No one has forgotten those who remain at the satellite base.
These are the people who stand on the front line against the Zerg disaster, when they face the Zerg threat.
There was no chance to retreat.
They could only cower in that underground shelter, waiting for the planned support.
And now, they've finally gotten what they've been waiting for.
These heroes will also be returning.
"I am the head of Vault 3, underground, Satellite Base 1." He boarded the starship and removed his helmet.
The person in charge saluted excitedly.
The captain returned the salute: "On behalf of Starship 001, I express my deepest respect to you."
You are our heroes.
We've been ordered to come and take you home!
As they spoke, their hands involuntarily clasped together.
Everything is understood without words.
"Can your shelter contact people in other shelters?" the captain asked the person in charge of Shelter No. 3.
"Can.
This satellite base has a total of five shelters, all of which have communication channels.
"We contact each other every now and then." The head of Shelter No. 3 nodded.
"Then I hope you will inform the other shelters of our arrival, and also tell them that Dragon Star is now safe."
However, they should also be told not to rush to open the shelter doors.
Because we only have one starship right now, and its carrying capacity is limited.
We can only take three hundred people with us this time.
"But we brought a lot of supplies," the captain said.
The shelter manager nodded and said with a smile, "It's alright, none of this is a problem."
Your arrival has given us hope.
During this time, we just didn't know how things were at home.
Now that we know everything is alright at home, all the hardship and exhaustion we endured was worth it.
"rest assured.
Soon, we will bring everyone back to Dragon Star.
We need you to do a few things now.
First: Inform the other shelters that we have arrived, but tell them not to worry, that we will gradually rescue them, and to hold on a little longer.
Then we need to take stock of their current supplies and living conditions.
We will determine the order of priority based on the conditions of different shelters.
After all, there are other satellite bases waiting for us.
Second: Select 300 people from your No. 3 shelter to evacuate, with priority given to the wounded.
..."
The captain explained these things one by one.
The shelter manager wrote them all down.
Afterwards, the shelter manager returned to Shelter No. 3.
Tell them that Dragon Star is safe and that the Zerg on Dragon Star has been wiped out.
They also informed everyone about the current situation, etc.
The news that the vast majority of people could not return immediately did not seem to bother people much.
After all, compared to their previous aimless waiting, they now at least see hope.
Soon, they will also rebuild the signal tower connecting to Longxing, so that he can have video communication with Longxing's family.
So they didn't mind staying here a little longer.
Everyone gave their spots to those who should go back.
Soon, three hundred candidates were selected.
Wearing protective suits, they boarded the starship.
Meanwhile, hundreds of interstellar marines disembarked from the [N O V E L I G H T] starship, carrying various equipment.
They began to establish a new bridgehead position centered around the gate of this shelter.
After all, there are many other Zerg life forms on this satellite.
After the starship picked up the people, it returned to Dragon Star.
Under the watchful eyes of many, they landed in the dock.
The entire maiden voyage took twenty-four hours.
Everything went smoothly.
When the returning combat personnel stood firmly on the ground of Dragon Star, they were all moved to tears of joy.
Many people came out from under the dock.
All the family members who could be brought along were brought.
When the family members saw their loved ones return, they rushed up to hug them.
King Zhao Chen of the Xiaolong Kingdom also appeared at the scene.
He personally presented the Dragon Kingdom Commemorative Medal to these more than 300 people.
Regardless of whether these three hundred people are soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom.
At this moment, they are all heroes.
These 300-plus people were treated like heroes.
Those who were not soldiers of the Dragon King Kingdom also met with their respective country's leaders.
Those national leaders had long ago prepared various medals for them.
Then, a mournful melody began to play.
Squads of honor guards from the Dragon Kingdom boarded the starship and then disembarked carrying urns draped with the flags of the Dragon Star Alliance.
These all represent those who sacrificed their lives in previous battles.
The front of these urns features smiling photos of the deceased. Inside, however, are not ashes, but rather their clothes or nameplates.
Because for the vast majority of people, no intact corpses can be found in this battle.
All the families of these martyrs who could be invited were present.
The sound of crying echoed throughout the space.
For families present, the honor guards personally handed the urns containing ashes to the family members.
Zhao Chen and other national leaders personally comforted the families of the victims and touched the hearts of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for Longxing.
This scene was broadcast live worldwide.
From initial excitement to present sadness.
The hearts of people around the world seem to be connected.
On this day, flags in countries around the world were flown at half-mast in silence.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Kingdom continued to carry out its plans without stopping.
First is the starship dock.
The Dragon Kingdom has begun the first phase of its starship dock construction program.
Apart from the first shipyard, construction of the other ten starships has begun at an accelerated pace.
The entire project can be completed within six months.
In addition, there is the construction of the second starship.
A single starship is completely insufficient to meet the current needs of the Dragon Kingdom.
At the same time, other kingdoms also applied to the Kingdom of Wyvern for permission to build starship docks.
In response, the Dragon Kingdom directly opened up the construction technology for T1-level starship docks, and if needed, they could also assign technicians to help them build docks.
Openness to technology.
Zhao Chen was not worried at all.
For Zhao Chen, the construction technology of the T1 starship dock was merely a transitional step.
The T2-class interstellar warships are truly suited for the vast universe.
The reason why various kingdoms began to deploy starship manufacturing industries was...
Of course, this is to ensure that their technology does not fall behind, and that they can also shoulder some of the industrial needs of interstellar warships in the future.
This is of paramount importance to Zhao Chen.
In exchange for the technology licensing, the first few starships built in those countries' shipyards would be constructed according to Zhao Chen's requirements.
It also allows them to learn this series of construction techniques.
For those countries, there is naturally no right or reason to refuse.
From then on.
From that moment on, construction began on hundreds of shipyards around the world.
Everyone hopes to own their own starship.
Time began to pass by little by little.
After the first starship of the JF-17 finishes its daily rest and repairs, it will head to various satellite bases to bring back personnel who need to be evacuated from the shelters of each satellite base to Dragon Star, and then arrange for replacement combat personnel.
In the third month.
The appearance of the first interstellar transport ship completely broke the 001 ship's life of toil.
It was the first T1 interstellar heavy interstellar transport ship built entirely for transporting supplies and personnel.
In one trip, they packed up and sent all the people in the satellite base shelter back.
At the same time, replacements were sent up.
The three satellite bases marked the beginning of the final phase of Zerg eradication.
Combat mechs, in coordination with interstellar marines, gradually cleared out the Zerg from the satellite's surface.
On the ground, with the completion of starship docks, everyone began to rush to build various models of T1 starships.
The most numerous are naturally the T1 Wolfhound-class medium-sized star destroyers.
As a relatively conventional interstellar destroyer, it has the lowest construction requirements and the highest stability.
Everyone was naturally very happy to accept.
At this moment, the Dragon Star Alliance possessed its first interstellar fleet.
Dragon Star Alliance Starfleet.
According to regulations.
All interstellar warships of the various countries under Dragon Star must be incorporated into the Dragon Star Alliance interstellar fleet.
However, the Kingdom of the Falcon can be an exception.
As for why the Dragon Kingdom has this privilege, it's naturally not something anyone should ask.
After all, these are privileges granted by the Dragonflight Kingdom.
at the same time.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Kingdom began constructing a space elevator and its first starport!
Relying on interstellar transport ships to transport supplies and personnel back and forth is too time-consuming and resource-intensive, making it very inefficient.
Using space elevators and starports is the most logical arrangement.
Meanwhile, the dock required for the T2 starship can be built within the starport.
The T2 starship is very difficult and costly to build on a planet due to its enormous size.
However, building in a space environment can avoid many problems.
As for this Starport...
The Kingdom of Wraiths announced that it would name the place Dragon Palace.
Two years after the Zerg catastrophe ended.
Queen Nancy came here again.
"The Dragon Kingdom is developing so fast!"
"In just a few short years, I can hardly believe what I'm seeing." Queen Nancy looked at the holographic billboards, the maglev cars, and so on.
Not long ago, these were technologies that only existed in their novels and movies.
However, it has already appeared in the Kingdom of the Wraith Dragon.
Huang Min, standing beside her daughter, said with emotion, "Don't even mention you guys."
Even we locals are finding it hard to adapt to this rapid development.
Things you've just learned can become outdated in just a few months.
I need to learn new things again.
Fortunately, the Kingdom of Dragons fully covered all these learning processes, so we didn't have to pay any fees, and there was even a guaranteed salary.
Otherwise, I really feel like I'm going to lose my job.
Queen Nancy gazed at a space elevator connecting heaven and earth, built on the outskirts of the Dragon Kingdom's continent.
There is an island there, created by the Dragon King Kingdom through land reclamation. The island is connected to the Dragon King Kingdom's mainland by a bridge.
That island was specifically prepared for the space elevator.
"It is said that the space elevator will be ready for use within six months."
The first phase of that Dragon Palace Starport is expected to be operational within six months. Queen Nancy gazed at the creation that resembled a god.
"I never dared to imagine this before."
But now everyone says, before we get old.
Perhaps we will also have the opportunity to ride the space elevator, ascend to that Dragon Palace Starport, and see the home we live in.
Okay, let's not worry about that anymore.
It's rare for you to come and visit me.
Although those technologies have been upgraded a lot.
But there's one thing that remains true to its original flavor: the food we all love.
"Let's go eat hot pot today!" Huang Min said, pulling her best friend and leading her daughter toward a hot pot restaurant.
Inside the hot pot restaurant, you can see many holographic projection advertisements and various hot pot dishes.
After Huang Min and Queen Nancy took their seats, a huge virtual ordering interface immediately appeared on their seats, accompanied by a gentle, mechanical female voice explaining the menu.
Huang Min skillfully began ordering food.
After ordering, a robot waiter brought over the prepared dipping sauce and various ingredients to be cooked.
All of these dishes are prepared by robot waiters.
Time, heat, they control everything.
Finally, scoop out the prepared ingredients and distribute them into each person's bowl.
The entire process requires the guests to do it themselves.
As Queen Nancy watched this scene, she felt as if she were out of place in this era.
The last time I came here, the only thing that happened was that robots delivered the food.
All of this progress has been happening so fast.
"Now, in our Dragon Kingdom, all the service jobs are those that don't require brains and are purely physical labor-intensive."
"They're almost all being phased out by these robots," Huang Min said, enjoying her delicious food.
"What will happen to everyone if so many jobs are lost?"
"Won't this lead to a surge in unemployment?" Queen Nancy frowned slightly.
While eating, Huang Min said, "Keep studying."
Dragon Kingdom offers a complete learning process, which will cultivate your professional skills based on your strengths, as well as a series of subsequent advancement processes.
If you want to work, then you don't need to worry about your job.
There are no truly stupid people in this world, except for those who are sick; there are only lazy people.
Of course, this applies to those who want something for nothing.
The Kingdom of Xiaolong did not support them for nothing; they were only provided with the most basic living necessities.
As long as I don't starve to death, that's fine.
However, these people will also be looked down upon by others.
The Dragon Kingdom has given you such a great opportunity, taking everything into consideration. Instead of striving for progress, you want to lie low.
Do you think people will respect someone like that?
Most of these people will be eliminated and marginalized by society.
But no one will sympathize with them.
After hearing all this, Queen Nancy had a premonition.
The Dragon Kingdom is technologizing its entire population; those without technical skills will be replaced by robots.
In this way, the quality of the people of the Dragon Kingdom will be greatly improved!
