Doyle nodded as he spoke, as if confirming that he was indeed right: "The front can be regarded as another area isolated from the empire, because almost all of the people who stay here are soldiers, and their nature
Creates a different environment. If you don’t adapt, you can apply for
Patrolling outside is full of ancient natural scenery. I don’t know how long you will stay here, but in spring and autumn, the scenery outside is the most beautiful. In summer it is just sweltering heat with the endless sound of cicadas. In winter
That’s it for now, it’s better to stay in the base.”
"And many people died during this period. It seems that there is a powerful sniper outside. The kind with super long range, and the type that changes positions after shooting. It is very troublesome and makes many people not want to
Went out. I wanted to send out a large number of people to encircle and suppress, but Yuanhai
There seems to be a lot of movement on the front by the United Nations. However, the Volcano Base can't figure out the specific situation and dare not make any big moves. Be careful. It's not easy to avoid being ambushed by snipers in the jungle. There are ballistic lines.
To determine the location, but it is not very accurate."
The Volcano Warehouse No. 7 is very large, and it also hollows out less than half of the interior of a mountain. Now, the buildings Cassia saw following Lieutenant Doyle were all used by the management, and the real warehouse did not appear in his eyes.
.
"It's at the foot. I heard what the boss said. Because it is an important material for war preparations, safety must come first. The excavated storage space is very large, several times that of this base. It is very deep. It seems to have gone deep into the ground, but the specific depth
It’s a puzzle, and the passage to get in is also a secret.” Doyle said.
As Cassia walked, she said, "It says it's a warehouse, but to be honest, I've been here for a long time. I don't know what the warehouse is like. Maybe it's because my official position is lower." He said this a bit self-deprecatingly.
Taste, Cassia wanted to say a few words of comfort, but couldn't think of the right words.
The ground of the base is also a hard concrete structure. In some wide areas, daylight-style lamps are used to replace the original cold-colored lights, which gives the cold base a warm feeling. But beside the lamps, you can still see the same
Something, Cassia discovered such a strange phenomenon when she was first escorted into this base.
They are pipelines for transporting gas, and there are also completely exposed red copper pipes for steam. Red copper pipes for power output are very common, and the main operations of the base also rely on those milky white steam. This base and the Empire
Like most prosperous areas in China, various applicable electrical appliances and power transmission equipment have been widely popularized, including electric lights, as well as panels that use differential engines to control different colors of iron powder to display things. Cassia has also seen a lot of them.<
/p>
It feels like every component around is a good thing, but the pipes that transport the gas, as well as the gas lamps connected to the pipes, which are well preserved and have obviously been carefully maintained on a daily basis, seem too abrupt in such a military base. Steam.
As power, it is absolutely indispensable. From the birth of the empire to the present, even though it has been impacted by the emerging energy sources of electricity caused by limestone in the middle of history, it still adheres to its status as the main form of energy and has never been shaken at all.
But gas lamps are familiar to Cassia. In the small town, such things have been with him day and night for five years, and their familiarity is no less than the knowledge of steam machinery that he has completely memorized in his head.
and transmission principles. But in such a base that closely follows the development of the empire's science and technology, Cassia cannot understand the reason for retaining such a thing.
"It's caused by human factors." Cassia asked Doyle, and he replied.
"The explanation is, I don't know either." Doyle said with a smile on his face, "No one seems to know that the new people on the front line have many similarities, whether it is about gas lamps or we can meet again in the future.
I can't understand the lime lamps or even the most basic torches. Although there are extremely simple things like electricity and electric lights, why have things like gas lamps and lime lamps not been eliminated, but are still appearing in the market?
Inside such a base."
Doyle imitated the tone of the recruits who had just completed the first training period and were assigned here: "Isn't it a waste of money? They ask us to do maintenance every once in a while because we are too busy? Wait a minute.
, there are so many words like this! But no reasonable reason has come out for so many years, and a few superiors who may know the truth have not said anything, and just told us to just obey the orders with peace of mind. In the end, he said, "It's all caused by human factors."
', there is absolutely nothing to say."
"Man-made reasons?" Cassia repeated it after him, unable to figure out the possible hidden meaning.
"Yes, human reasons. After I was promoted to lieutenant a few years ago, I found the opportunity to ask the reason again, and the answer was the same." Doyle looked over, "It seems that the confidentiality level is very high, and you need to have a matching identity to know the answer.
.But at present, it seems that, at least as far as I know, the major is half-informed. Perhaps it is also because we are in peacetime. There are many frictions with the enemy on the front, but it cannot escalate into a war at all. Both sides are fine.
I’m used to it being blown up again and again.”
There was also a lot of helplessness in Doyle's words: "Anyway, if you see some strange things here, you can just rely on human factors for the reasons. This is also what the superiors taught me. I am stupid and can never figure out the meaning.
But when you think about the fact that the war was originally caused by man-made things, what actually happened?
Everything can be explained by this 'human reason'. Feelings are just used to fool us. After so many years of getting used to it, it doesn't affect anything at all. Just like why the electricity flowing in the wires above our heads has not been able to survive in the long history.
It's the same as replacing steam power."
"What do you think is the reason? There is no reason for the Empire to leave good things unused, right? Comparing steam and electricity, each has its own advantages, but in summary, electricity should be on the winning side. But the fact in the Empire is that hot steam
It has always occupied an unshakable position, and electricity always plays an auxiliary role. And in some important machines
In terms of construction, there is not even the slightest trace of electricity. Like the differential engine and the analytical engine, this is equivalent to one of the heart of the empire. Apart from the supporting radio equipment, it is all steam hoses and gear shafts. In the design
From the perspective of thinking, it can also be seen that the scientists of the empire have never thought of using electricity to drive gears forward."
