Chapter 457 Base Upgrades and Technological Barriers

"Congratulations to Commander Xiaobai!" Xiaohua's congratulations in his ear did not attract Meng Xiang's attention, and his heart was already filled with surprise at this time.

"Level 5!" As the bell rang on New Year's Day, Meng Xiang received the news that Deng Shaohu had crossed the Tanggula Pass, and then heard the prompt of his upgrade.

However, when he impatiently ran to the big screen to search for new changes in the base, it was still the same as usual. He didn't care, with the experience of being promoted to the second-level base, he knew that there was still a shortage of scientists.

Sure enough, Xiaohua's hint is that 9 Level 3 scientists are needed to preside over the upgrade mission of the base.

Level 3 scientists are naturally scientists with a post-World War II scientific level, and Meng Xiang has no pressure on this. Many of the big cattle that were looted by the vanguard army were at a sufficient level.

The name of a joint theater scientific planning meeting brought those big bulls together. Personnel from all disciplines were quickly assembled. Meng Xiang chose 9 of them, which was very simple.

In mathematics, Meng Xiang chose Hua Luogeng, an internationally renowned mathematician who was busy finishing his "Theory of Stacked Numbers". With this one, it is enough to have the level of a third-level scientist, not to mention that he is still presiding over the experimental work of the electronic computer of the vanguard army at this time.

In terms of physics, since Wang Ganchang, who is studying nuclear fission, can be called the father of Chinese nuclear weapons by later generations, he naturally has no problem;

In terms of chemistry, Hou Debang, who has tested the Hou's alkali method in advance, is also absolutely qualified;

In meteorology, not to mention Zhu Kezhen;

In terms of geology, Xie Jiarong has no problem, and even Li Siguang has also entered the vanguard army;

Bei Shizhang, the founder of biophysics, is also among them;

Gao Lu is also one of the founders of modern heaven in China, but he did not come this time, but recommended Yu Qingsong, a thousand-mile horse.

Pan Shu, who studies psychology, is also among them.

In terms of optics, Yan Keats and Gong Zutong are also qualified.

At this time, there were too many future bulls under the command of the Vanguard, and it was not difficult to find scientists who met the scientific and technological level of the post-World War II era. For example, physicists, Wu Youxun, Ye Qisun, Rao Yutai, Wu Dayou and other big bulls are definitely qualified. It's just that considering the disciplines involved in the future base, Meng Xiang specially chose these 9.

Meng Xiang still remembered that the weapons of the base needed to take into account biochemistry, meteorology, psychology, optics and other aspects, so the selection of talents also focused on these aspects.

Seeing the number of 9, Meng Xiang couldn't help but guess in his heart, 3 scientists are needed when they are promoted to the second level, 9 are needed to be promoted to the third level, and 81 are needed when they are promoted to the fourth level? Meng Xiang will not guess in multiples of 3, but will not hesitate to guess with the largest number. At this time, it is easier to find a third-level scientist, but only Einstein and Tesla, who can reach level 4, are confident, and their level may be enough for level 5 in the future, but they may not meet the requirements now.

"Why think about it so much? Level 4 is still far away! Meng Xiang quickly relaxed, it was so difficult to be promoted to the third level, and it would inevitably be a long ordeal to be promoted to the fourth level in the future. At that time, the scientists trained by Huaxia itself have also grown up, and those big bulls have reached a higher level, not to mention 81, no matter how many scientists may be able to find out. In a country as big as China, there may be a few Einstein-like figures.

The nine scientists named by Meng Xiang stayed in the science and technology center for three days, and the upgrade of the base center also took three days.

Three days later, Meng Xiang entered the command center of the main base, revealing that the space inside was larger, and there was not much change, but he knew that the changes in the base were all invisible. A lot of it takes a lot of time to see how big it has changed.

The upgraded Level 3 base is still divided into three Temporal Barrier Phases, corresponding to Level 5, Level 6, and Level 7 Commanders.

The three-level base corresponds to the initial stage at the beginning, and the time span in the original history is from the post-World War II to the Cuban incident in the early sixties, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The intermediate stage was the presentation of Star Wars from the events in Cuba to the early eighties.

The advanced stage of the third level is from this time until the collapse of Soviet Russia and the collapse of the Red Empire.

The subsequent exhibitions belong to the scope of the fourth-level base, but Meng Xiang can also see that the scope of the third-level base is the entire Cold War process.

Although the first-level upgrade of the third-level base is only the first level, at this time, such as -47 and -54 tanks, MiG-21 aircraft, etc., have already appeared, and it is still very simple to use them in the World War II era.

Just when Meng Xiang's saliva was about to flow out, the MiG-21 could not be manufactured, and even the -54 tank could not be manufactured, each of which indicated that the conditions were insufficient-47 could be manufactured in the upgraded logistics support center, but the price was high, not only did it not mean a discount, but it seemed to be more expensive. It simply can't be made on a large scale.

The more Meng Xiang looked at it, the more annoyed he felt.

"Xiaohua, is this a third-level base or a second-level base, why can't so many of them meet the conditions and can't be used?"

"The command center of the main base has reached the level of three levels, but it is limited by the barriers of time and space technology, and it cannot carry out all its functions." Although Xiaohua's voice was still cold, her tone was much softer.

"How to break through the barriers of time and space?" Meng Xiang quickly calmed down and said. He has long been familiar with the base, and there must be restrictions. It's useless to be angry, you can only find a way to solve it.

"Upgrading to a third-level base requires the support of key technologies in order to gradually expand all functions." Xiaohua said.

"Key technology?" Meng Xiang suddenly thought of the time when he was promoted to the second level, it was nearly twenty years since the end of the First World War, and the second level base was at the end of the First World War, so naturally there was no problem with the key technology. However, at the end of World War II, many technologies did not appear, so they naturally needed the support of key technologies.

"What are the key technologies?" Meng Xiang was also worried in his heart, if he listed dozens of them, he didn't know when he would be able to get them together.

"The development of the basic functions of the third stage requires the support of nuclear bomb technology and transistor and electronic computer technology." Fortunately, Xiaohua only said three. Meng Xiang also understands that it is with the use of nuclear energy and the emergence of transistors and electronic computers that human science and technology have ushered in a new exhibition. It may be that many parts of the MiG-21 aircraft involve key technologies, so they will be prompted that they cannot be manufactured.

Meng Xiang pondered what Xiaohua said in her heart, she just said that the three-level basic functions will be expanded, and perhaps there will be more functions that need the support of key technologies in the future.

Now we can't take care of these things, and the most important thing is to solve the problems of these three key technologies first. But each of these three is difficult to climb to the sky, but fortunately, Meng Xiang still has a little science foundation and the help of another golden finger.

After Turing outlined the relevant basic theories in 36 years, it was not impossible to piece together an electronic computer using a vacuum tube. Coupled with Meng Xiang's guidance across time and space, Huaxia himself is now engaged in it. This one, although complicated, is undoubtedly the easiest.

The emergence of transistors needs to involve semiconductors, and Meng Xiang knows little about it, but a vague theory can also provide a little direction. But engaging in science is precisely the direction that is the most difficult to grasp, and all that remains is continuous exploration and experimentation, within the framework of silicon and gallium, transistor semiconductors, although troublesome, are not particularly difficult.

However, nuclear bomb technology is not just a matter of direction.

39 years Lise. Meitner and Otto. Hann had nuclear fission.

At this time, the Manhattan Project of the Americans had already begun to be launched, and the German nuclear technology was being intensively studied, and even the Japanese began to pay attention.

Manhattan in the United States brought together outstanding Western scientists to carry out this research, and it took more than three years to build the atomic bomb on the basis of the powerful industrial base of the United States, spending $200 million. The Germans didn't get it out with all the effort. If you want to let Huaxia do it at this time, I'm afraid it is also a long way away.

It is impossible to count on the Americans to come up with it, and it is impossible to get the base bare.

Although the Americans made it, the base can be regarded as the opening of the barrier of time and space. But if the Americans have mastered the nuclear bomb, will they still have the nourishment of China? Meng Xiang didn't dare to bet that if the base broke through the barrier of time and space, there would definitely be a nuclear bomb produced by the base. What if it is again blackmailed at that time? Southeast Asia cannot avoid the presence of the Americans, and some arrangements will inevitably fall through at that time.

Meng Xiang will never pin his and Huaxia's future on Americans whose reputation has always been poor. It's easier to control the big picture on your own.

"Do it, you must do it yourself. Smashing pots and selling iron is also going to make an atomic bomb! Meng Xiang said ruthlessly. The theory of the nuclear bomb in later generations has also been heard of, and it has a greater sense of direction than the Americans who started from scratch. The material and experimental basis provided by the base also avoids the helplessness of the industrial base in the Chinese handicraft workshop. As for talents, there are many scientists in various fields in China at this time, and they can completely rush out of a way to develop a nuclear bomb on their own.

Even if it is uranium ore resources, Meng Xiang also knows a little, although he is not very clear about Xiangshan, Linxian, Xiazhuang and other places, but Xing'an County, Guilin, which he has heard of in later generations, is the largest mine in China. And the approximate location of the Australian Lanjie and the Olympic Dam can also be drawn in a large circle, and slowly search.

Even with these, China's nuclear bomb research may lag behind the Americans, or even the Germans. However, the trick that the Americans used against the Germans back then might as well be used first.

The base is in hand, and among the conventional weapons, Meng Xiang dares to boast of being the first. If there is no nuclear bomb, with the slow accumulation of bases, it is not impossible for Meng Xiang to sweep the world. But this advantage is likely to be broken by the unconventional weapons of nuclear bombs. In this way, the absence of a nuclear bomb is more conducive to Meng Xiang's exhibition at this time.

In any way, sabotage is a certainty.

Coupled with the initial functions revealed after the base was upgraded to the third level, Meng Xiang decided to make a big deal.

Although the base is only a half-finished product due to the impact of space-time technical barriers, the level of Meng Xiang's commander has not been affected, as long as the merit value is enough, Meng Xiang will naturally become the commander of the fifth-level base. Level 5 is a big leap.

What made Meng Xiang happiest was that he could command more clone troops.

At this time, as the vanguard army was rapidly expanded within two years, there were still many unstable factors in the army, and some veterans were affected by the original thinking and could not be changed all at once. The hill is constantly rising. If it weren't for the clones who controlled the supervision and military regulations departments, I am afraid that the vanguard army would have been in chaos long ago.

But it can only be done like this, after all, there are only 20,000 clones, of which the navy, air force, engineering troops, etc., plus half of the clones who are engaged in the work of the administrative department, and the remaining less than 10,000 people will be difficult to control the army of millions.

Meng Xiang didn't dare to let go too much, just considering the instability of the rear. If some of the mountains are provoked by other people, even foreigners, and chaos occurs, the whole plan will be ruined. He would rather go slower, step by step.

This time, Meng Xiang hopes to increase the number of people commanding the clone team. Fortunately, this was not restricted, and when the number of 2o million command personnel echoed in Meng Xiang's ears, Meng Xiang couldn't help but be ecstatic.

2o million troops, just ten to one command, can easily control 2o million troops. If we add the continuous increase of the lineage of the vanguard army and the mature operation of the institutionalization, the tens of millions of troops will no longer be a problem.

It's just that some of them need to be used in some technical arms and administrative aspects that are in short supply in China, but even so, Meng Xiang feels very sure of controlling 2oo0,000 troops. After eliminating those hidden dangers, you can clench your fists and attack out.

Although it is 2oo thousand, if they are all mechanized troops, they can be regarded as invincible.

Meng Xiang has also been thinking about building an elite army in his heart, which is also inevitable for the future army. In the face of the dense firepower weapons of the future, the sea of people is just one more layer of cannon fodder. The increase in pensions and the treatment of soldiers was also prepared for this, otherwise the army would have been enough to crush the Chinese economy.

However, because of the time and space barriers, many functions of the third-level base have not been unsealed, which also makes the plan of the elite troops considered by Meng Xiang missing part -47 is easy to use, but the high price has made it lose the cost performance of the popularization of the army, and can only be studied as a sample. It just so happens that the Vanguard assault rifle is moving towards the 7mm specification, and the -47 can be used to better wield the role of the assault rifle.

Although this path does not work, because with the upgrade of the base and the increase of the level of Commander Mengxiang, the original cost of building weapons has been discounted again.

Within the same level of the base, there is a discount of one-half of the collapse level. But there is a one-third discount for cross-level production. However, when Meng Xiang wanted to farm steel by producing weapons from World War I, the maximum discount value could only stop at one-fiftieth. However, this can still be used to brush steel, although it is recycled to the base, and the base will only confiscate it if it is not recognized, but the steel produced in this way can be used by itself. With the lowest discount offer, it's more than enough to offset other expenses.

But this was enough to make some World War II weapons that were originally considered expensive to achieve a higher price.

"Equipped with the best weapons of World War II, you can also build an invincible army in the world." Meng Xiang is already very satisfied with this, a large number of low-cost high-end equipment is enough to suppress any enemy, even the Americans will not be willing to give up all the equipment is the best, they can't get the Soviet-German weapons to equip them.

"In this way, those weapons that stay on the drawing board and in the laboratory can also be cheap." Many of the best weapons in World War II were on the drawing board and in the laboratory, but because they never appeared or were not installed, the base was relatively expensive to build.

The base network covers a lot of planes, and the weapons that are not made in this plane do not mean that other planes have not been created. Therefore, some weapons on the drawings can be produced in kind, but because the backbone time and space have not appeared, they need to cross the time and space barriers, so the cost is high and it is not cost-effective. However, at this time, the command center of the main base has been upgraded to the third level, and with this cross-level discount, the cost is naturally much lower. This cost performance has also been reduced to an acceptable level.

After the upgrade, not only the price is preferential, but the production capacity of the base has also been greatly improved. Tank factories, shipyards, etc. not only have a few more production lines, but also improve production efficiency a lot, which also greatly eases the shortage of weapons supply.

The most important thing is that after the upgrade, Meng Xiang can govern more sub-bases.

"Thirty-six!" Meng Xiang was also amazed, the originally stingy base suddenly changed from 12 sub-bases to 36, plus a main base, 37 bases can be advanced to the world at any time.

Before, Meng Xiang was still a little worried. The network of bases that can be built with 13 secondary bases is too small. Long-distance mobilization needs to pass through transportation lines, but Huaxia's transportation lines are very bad, and logistics support has become Meng Xiang's biggest headache. But if you have a base car, you can push it directly to the front line and use it as an advance base. Fighting within the direct jurisdiction of the base, Meng Xiang is not afraid of any incoming enemy.

"I order, produce a base car!" Meng Xiang immediately ordered.

"There is not enough energy to carry out orders." But Xiaohua followed by a basin of cold water, so that Meng Xiang had to humbly ask:

"What's that energy shortage?" There are quite a few power plants in the base, especially those around the main base.

"The impact of time and space barriers makes the base basically incomplete. To build a sub-base, you must use a huge amount of energy to break the influence of the time barrier. The instantaneous power is too high to meet the requirements. Xiaohua said in a faint tone.

"Little flowers are getting more and more individual." Such a thought suddenly flashed through Meng Xiang's mind. Since the upgrade, Meng Xiang has finally seen Xiaohua's tone from the metallic tone of the first-level to the cold voice of the second-level base, and then to the faint tone at this time, which has become more and more humane.

However, this idea was fleeting, and Meng Xiang was more concerned about solving the problem of energy. After some inquiry, Meng Xiang learned that under normal circumstances, the base's nuclear power plant would have appeared. And the secondary power station also needs to be upgraded to the third level of one million kilowatts of power. Only when several of them are connected together and supplemented by the networked energy of other bases can high-power energy transmission be realized.

"Huh, a million kilowatts of power?" Meng Xiang had to consider the huge amount of this value, at this time, the coal consumed by a power plant with a power of 300,000 kilowatts is an astonishing value, if it is another million kilowatts, I am afraid that transportation will become a problem. Moreover, the power station is not one or two.

"Let's upgrade the mining cart first!" For now, we can only rely on the upgrade of the mining vehicle.

"There aren't enough stars to complete."

"How can there be a lack of stars?" The star value of the base that Meng Xiangcha saw had not changed, it was still 1o8 points, but it had doubled after the mining vehicle was upgraded. And the sub-base has no extra points.

"What the hell is going on? Why doesn't the star value increase? Meng Xiang had to continue to ask Xiaohua.

"The limitations of time and space technology make it impossible to complete all the basic functions." After asking several times in a row, Xiaohua was pushed to the space-time technology barrier.

"Does it have something to do with computers?" Meng Xiang suddenly thought of the control of the Zhi Brain, everything in the base has a source, and if the computer technology is stuck, it is likely that it will not be able to touch the conditions for the increase in star value.

In this way, if the barriers of time and space science and technology are not solved, it will be difficult to even upgrade. Meng Xiang looked at other projects, and sure enough, because of the wisdom of the brain, the direct jurisdiction of the original sub-base was still limited to a radius of 1oo kilometers, and it could not be upgraded for the time being. Even at the main base, there are only a few changes, but there are still not many changes overall.

"Is there any other way to break down the barriers of time and space?" Meng Xiang was also a little frustrated, seeing that there were 36 sub-bases but they couldn't be fully utilized, it was simply torturous.

"Merit points can be redeemed." Xiaohua is really a lot more humane, and she answers questions at will.

Xiaohua had also mentioned before that merit points could be exchanged for money and energy, but at that time, Meng Xiang did not have the need for this, and he needed merit points to be continuously upgraded, so he did not use them. At this time, as soon as Xiaohua said, Meng Xiang immediately thought that this was a merit value that could be directly exchanged for energy.

"Then exchange it now, and produce a base car!" Meng Xiang immediately ordered. There is still no time to upgrade again, and merit points might as well be exchanged to produce sub-bases that can quickly control each region. Many areas continue to base logistics and stabilize the front. Even if the sub-base is only a 1oo km radius of the direct jurisdiction, it is enough to cover a network of offensive and defensive bases.

"Merit points are insufficient and cannot be redeemed." Xiaohua's voice was still indifferent, but it made Meng Xiang a little helpless. has just been promoted, and the merit points are naturally not enough, so I can only wait until later. Ro
