Chapter 270 Not a conspiracy?
At the beginning of Dragon City's time travel, it was the purest mechanical civilization. The construction, operation and defense of the entire city relied on various machines.
However, with the depletion of energy, the mechanical failure rate continues to increase, a large number of precision instruments are scrapped, and the technological inheritance of the earth age is gradually lost.
Before the rise of the new generation of machines engraved with runes and equipped with crystal engines, the time travelers temporarily returned to the ancient era when human power and animal power were the mainstay.
However, people soon discovered that the combination of supernatural beings who practice psychic abilities and powerful monsters can actually exert a power that is no less than that of heavy engineering machinery. In some aspects, it is even more powerful than cold metal.
The advantages.
Even with the birth of rune technology and the continuous development of new automated machinery, humans' determination to modulate monsters and follow the path of biochemical technology has never changed.
The collision between mechanical civilization and biochemical civilization also unfolds at all levels of Dragon City.
The conflict between "Lingchuang Creatures" and "Tiangong Machinery" is the most typical example.
"Tiangong Machinery" is the first company in Longcheng to apply rune technology to the field of large-scale construction machinery.
While the ancient machinery of the Earth Age is paralyzed and rusty, engraving runes, breathing spiritual energy, billowing black smoke, and making deafening roars, a new generation of heavy machinery is flying on all fronts, undertaking various types of projects.
Tiangong Machinery, which has made great contributions to the development of Longcheng, is one of the representatives.
To this day, dozens of types of construction machinery produced by "Tiangong Machinery" are still digging tunnels, building fortresses, building hive cities, and opening up transportation lines from Longcheng to surrounding mining areas...all fields play a vital role.
.
But these construction machinery equipped with rune technology are also facing increasingly strong challengers.
The giant sandworm prepared by Lingchuang Biotechnology can replace traditional underground engineering machinery such as shield machines, boring machines, excavators, etc. The cost of opening a tunnel per kilometer is only one-third of that of Rune machinery, and it is pollution-free.
, pollution-free, causing less vibration to the surrounding geological structures, and can be used even in fragile terrain or underground in downtown areas.
With this advantage, Lingchuang Biotechnology has already snatched many orders from Tiangong Machinery.
The main battlefield for this confrontation between the two sides is Longcheng's No. 20 subway line.
This is a vital subway line.
Because it will run through the Chilong River, it will connect the main urban area and Jiangnan District together for the first time in half a century.
The project is of great significance and naturally extremely difficult.
At this moment, the Chilong River is fed by a river from another world. The width of the river far exceeds that of the famous rivers in the earth's era. There are also various monsters that are very sensitive to vibrations in the river. It is not easy to open a tunnel under the river that stretches for several kilometers.
Despite facing many difficulties, the major engineering construction groups in Longcheng are still gearing up and determined to win.
Because everyone knows that whoever can win the construction of Metro Line 20 will be the leader in this field and can take the initiative in future construction.
In the long-term plan by the 100th anniversary of the new era, Longcheng will build more than 50 rail transit lines, including nine cross-river tunnels.
In addition, the "Xinglong District" in the north, which is being developed in full swing, is also a big cake with its own cream sprayed on it.
The profits here are astronomical.
It's enough to make anyone crazy and take risks.
At present, there are two main ideas for the construction plan of the No. 20 underground rail transit line. One is to use giant sandworms to dig tunnels, and the other is to use Rune Machinery, a more traditional shield machine, to tunnel.
Machines and other equipment.
The technical support behind the engineering construction groups of both parties is "Lingchuang Biotechnology" and "Tiangong Machinery" respectively.
"In order to penetrate the riverbed tunnel that passes through the Chilong River, we spent a lot of money to specially prepare a giant sandworm that likes humid environments, has minimal vibration when devouring rocks, and is very quiet."
Xie Xiaolei said, "In several experiments, our giant sandworms are ahead of Tiangong Machinery's in terms of excavation efficiency, consumption per unit distance, failure rate, and pollution... in various performance indicators
Traditional equipment.
"Seeing that this big order is about to fall into the hands of Lingchuang, some people within Tiangong are at a loss and can only think of solutions from the perspective of 'security'.
"They are trying every possible means to prove that our biochemical beasts are unsafe and can lose control at any time, and even cause horrifying and vicious cases. Only in this way can they seize food from the tiger's mouth and steal orders.
"It just so happens that at this juncture, a middle-level 'Tiangong' employee died tragically under the claws of his pet beast. If the gruesome photos of the body were posted online, it would arouse the fear of all citizens. Under the pressure of public opinion, not only would we not be able to
If we lose the order for the No. 20 Underground Transit Line, the company will be doomed!
"Mr. Ning, classmate Meng Chao, do you think there can be such a coincidence?"
Ning Sheme and Meng Chao looked at each other, both of them felt strange.
"Xiao Lei, you must speak responsibly. What you are making now is a very serious accusation."
Ning Shewo frowned and said, "Are you trying to say that someone deliberately used a certain method to make three biological beasts go crazy and cause a bloody tragedy? In this case, it is not an accident, but a murder."
Xie Xiaolei snorted coldly and said: "If you knew how big the interests involved are, you would know that there are people who can do it, let alone murder, even massacre."
Meng Chao scratched his hair, thoughtfully.
Ning Shewo glanced at him and said, "Meng Chao, what do you think? Since I invited you here, I won't treat you like an ordinary college student. If you have any ideas, just say it."
"No, I roughly understand what happened, but I think...it's quite strange."
Meng Chao looked at the giant sandworm incubation pool outside the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Suppose that someone from 'Tiangong Machinery' is really so crazy that he deliberately stimulates the biochemical pet beast prepared by 'Lingchuang Creature' to create a horrifying and bloody tragedy.
Why did you choose to start at 'Sega Sky City' and risk the lives of your own middle-level people?"
Xie Xiaolei was slightly startled and said: "Of course it is to increase the influence of this matter, so as not to be suppressed by us. You must know that 'Sega Sky City' is adjacent to the cultural and educational district, and many teachers from famous schools, middle and high-level managers of laboratories and research institutes are...
If you like to buy property here and cause trouble in 'Sega Sky City', you can cause serious damage to 'Lingchuang'.
"As for hooking up with one's own middle-level people...this can eliminate one's suspicion, right?"
"no."
Meng Chao shook his head, "Even our casual chat did not rule out the suspicion of 'Tiangong'. Could it be that if the police really intervened, would they be deceived so easily? You know, when human lives are involved, the nature has changed, and it may not be possible to connect
The judges of the Transcendent Tower will be dispatched, and things will get out of hand.
"Okay, even if someone from 'Tiangong' is really crazy and reckless, there is no need to choose 'Sega Amagi'.
"Yes, Sega Sky City is a high-end commercial housing community. Because of this, its floor area ratio is not high and it adopts fully closed management. If such a vicious incident occurs, the property management will also block the news to prevent idlers from waiting around.
Enter, how can this have the effect of 'expanding influence'? Look, it has been two days since the incident happened, and there is no news or news on the forum, how can it create pressure from public opinion?"
Ning Shewo nodded slightly and looked at Xie Xiaolei.
Xie Xiaolei coughed dryly and said: "That's right. After the incident, we and the representatives of 'Tiangong' rushed to the scene immediately. The people of 'Tiangong' were naturally very angry and threatened to take the matter to the sky, but...
After all, things happened strangely, and we can't be 100% sure that we are responsible. Moreover, there are many stakeholders involved, and Tiangong is also worried that there is something hidden. In short, we reached an agreement to temporarily block the news, and everything
Let’s wait until we find out the reason.”
"now it's right."
Meng Chao said, "Whether 'Lingchuang' or 'Tiangong', both companies have big businesses. Although they are tit-for-tat in many fields, they will always look down and not see each other again. Things happened in a place like 'Sega Sky City', and it is not so easy to completely break up."
of.
"If it were me, and I really wanted to take advantage of the pressure of public opinion, I would never choose 'Sega Sky City' as the crime scene. How about choosing our 'Tianfuyuan' instead?"
"Tianfuyuan?"
Ning She, Xie Xiaolei and I were both stunned for a moment.
"That's right, my family has a saber-toothed hound made by Lingchuang. We also have many neighbors who have biochemical pets made by your company."
Meng Chao said, "First of all, our community is crowded with people and has no concept of security and isolation. Monitoring is sometimes ineffective, and it is very easy to manipulate biochemical beasts.
"If a similar incident happened in our community, it would be guaranteed to spread to seven or eight surrounding communities within an hour. In less than half a day, thirty or fifty posts could be made on the Internet and hundreds of witnesses could be found.
Within fourteen hours, the whole city was in a storm!
“If you want to create pressure from public opinion, Tin Fook Court is the best choice.
"Oh, wait, there should be a better choice than Tianfuyuan, that is, the crowded shopping malls and downtown areas - if in the city center in public, someone is 'spiritually created' under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes,
The prepared biochemical beast was killed, and blood splashed on the faces of dozens of onlookers. Do you think anyone can suppress such news?
"No matter what the final investigation result is, the public's impression of biochemical beasts is probably only 'fear', right?"
Ning She, Xie Xiaolei and I both shuddered deeply.
"So, do you think this matter has nothing to do with 'Tiangong', or is it an accident or a flaw occurred during the preparation process?" Ning Shewo asked.
"Not enough information, I don't know."
