Chapter 21 (bug fix)
Three months after the meeting at the spire, on the third-to-last night, the Wuyan Tower officially started building a defense barrier over Country A.
The first order issued by Shen Jian was officially released to the public. The written documents received by the cadres were printed with a raised steel stamp of intersecting swords. The entire Wuyan Tower entered a busy state as if it had been activated. Every time someone passed by someone in the corridor, they could bring up gusts of wind.
An hour after the Tower of Invincibility began to move, other organizations in the camp seemed to have received some specific instructions and began to build giant steel barriers in the sky above their own countries.
When Shen Jian looked down from the bright glass of the leader's room, he could soon only see construction materials that blocked out the sun and mechanical equipment that soared into the clouds.
"The authorities have already sent out agents to issue pre-war warnings to civilians, and have also sent people to various organizations to count and distribute the war supplies and war compensation issued to civilians." Shen Pingyan pushed his glasses up, his expression showing the indifference of someone entering work mode, "We have doubled the supplies."
"Are you going to keep the ground safe all the time?" He thought Shen Jian didn't know about this unspoken rule. "This is tacitly agreed by everyone. I mean, all organizations and all civilians."
Being dragged into the war in the later period was inevitable, and the compensation given by the organization group was to open a few places to enter the laboratory within its jurisdiction.
Shen Jian took a final look under the clouds before turning around, sitting down and smiling faintly: “The compensation has been paid in advance, how can we take action?”
Shen Pingyan was startled, and for the first time he looked at Shen Jian with a little surprise: "Sir? Are you going to promote a civilian?"
"Yes, he has been promoted." Shen Jian corrected calmly.
Then, he stopped looking at Shen Pingyan's expression of both confusion and approval, and turned his head to focus on the surveillance of [Solomon]'s projection.
The four square screens were monitoring the situation on the ground.
The official staff member on the screen adjusted the badge on his chest and whispered to the captain, "I heard that this time, it was the Wuyan Tower that declared war on the Middle Ages first? But I heard that it was the Middle Ages that provoked the Wuyan Tower first? The news is almost reaching the ground."
He couldn't help but ask, "This is the first time on such a large scale... What can the Middle Ages do with Wu Yan..."
The captain squinted at the person who spoke and said, "Watch your mouth. We are in charge of the ground. Don't you know who you are?"
The captain paused for a moment, and finally lowered his voice and said, "At the beginning, who would have thought that Wu Yanta, who was unknown, could sit in the current position? Who knows, what cards will the higher-ups let you know? Haven't you seen that nearly half of the organizations have joined the unknown Middle Ages?"
Many people believe that this war is almost one-sided - most people on the ground and even the official minority.
Who knows, the atmosphere between the two sides in the upper echelons who are about to fight is even more tense and murderous than the atmosphere of the change of power in [Manipulator].
He said nothing more, knocked on the door of the election autonomy director in another district, showed his ID, and started to convey his orders.
"squeak--"
The smooth metal box-like door of the bungalow next to it quietly opened a crack, and a child wearing synthetic fiber clothes looked at the rare official curiously from inside.
"Mom, are the brothers going to give us some delicious food?" she asked innocently, looking with envy at the high-quality reflective fabrics worn by the older brothers.
Even these on-duty personnel are people they rarely see in normal times, not to mention that there is a war to be fought this time!
The woman half holding the child behind her was startled, looked up at the equipment she had started to build, and smiled helplessly: "Yes. We can't go out for a while."
For the civilians, the initial erection of this barrier only means that the upper echelons have once again changed their blood. They are managed vertically by the government, and they are the civilians who are given priority protection. They can receive compensation materials and funds for the economic stagnation and stay at home leisurely, just waiting for this giant bowl to be dismantled.
The man who had just spoken up and was reprimanded noticed the mother and daughter, walked over, took out two small candies and put them in the child's hand. The woman instantly felt embarrassed, but she was not afraid or panicked: "Thank you."
In fact, except for organizations like [Control Panel] that ignore the civilians on the ground, most organizations maintain a moderately friendly attitude towards the ground, at least on the surface.
But in any case, the ammunition was flying over their heads, and it would be a lie to say they were not worried.
What's more, if anything really happens, this steel hole that blocks the natural sunlight will shatter, symbolizing that the battle situation has turned crazy and the second barrier will be erected, then the ground will not be spared and will be involved in a situation of blood and flesh flying.
Civilians are afraid of ending up like Country R, but they can't help wanting to watch the war that belongs to the upper class.
So everyone paid to purchase the communication broadcast signal of [Jiawen Media] and stared at the holographic projection with nervousness and excitement.
As a media broadcast with no combat effectiveness, [Jiawen Media] quickly stood on the neutral side of [Blue Scorpion] as soon as the middle camp was able to exist, and signed a guarantee letter with a penalty of one thousand times the amount of liquidated damages, so that it was able to continue to make its own money outside the two camps that were frantically spending money.
The woman leaned on her husband who was protecting her and her daughter. She looked up at the barrier in the sky that was twice as thick as that in other countries. She smiled at her daughter and said, "Maybe it's a holiday for us? Even if we are caught in the war, we will be the last one."
The man was noncommittal: "But Wuyan Tower hasn't implemented a gentle policy towards civilians for a long time."
"But this time the advance reserves for the war are clearly biased towards civilians." The woman rubbed the child's head.
The man took the soft candy from the girl, peeled it open, handed one to the child and one to the woman, and commented lightly, "It is true that they have returned to the style of a few years ago, but I don't know how long it will last."
"Maybe it will take a long time?" The woman's soft face on the surveillance screen had a warm smile, "It's a woman's intuition."
Shen Pingyan looked at the surveillance footage, calmly pushed his glasses up again, and said indifferently, “Although it is not advisable to act on emotion in official business, the lady’s inference is reasonable.”
"Of course you are impeccable." He said as a matter of course.
Shen Jian twitched his lips, and any tension disappeared: "..."
He looked away in shame and said weakly, "Really?"
He pressed a button, and the smooth, intact wall on the left was smoothly split in two, revealing the room inside. Shen Pingyan glanced around and saw no less than ten thousand black screens densely and neatly arranged inside.
It's enough to make people with trypophobia scream out in abuse and faint on the spot.
This room was once the place where Shen Jian found the video surveillance equipment.
"Do you know about the research that Wen Yan has not brought out two years ago?" Shen Jian asked as he stood up and picked up the black cloak with a red background hanging on the chair.
In order to distinguish the colors of the clothes used to divide enemies and friends, Shen Jian personally approved the black one month ago.
At that time, Shen An felt aggrieved. He thought that as the party that started the war with legitimate reasons, Wu Yan Tower should use white. In frustration, Shen Jian explained that white was first used in the Middle Ages.
So when Shen Jian got the uniform design draft, he only saw the black and red military uniform designed by the extremely angry Shen An himself.
Shen Jian: “…”
He turned the page helplessly and saw the uniform style of the Middle Ages - a white military uniform that happened to be the same.
Shen Jian: “………………”
Do you guys have the same rituals and emotions in your mind?
Shen Pingyan took the cloak from Shen Jian's hand very smoothly, adjusted it and put it on him, and looked at Shen Jian in military uniform with respect and appreciation for a full minute without any offense.
Until the second before Shen Jian got scared, he suddenly retracted his gaze and returned to his calm and composed appearance: "Yes, he is responsible for the research of the space part."
“Well, I used the space compression and expansion technology.” Shen Jian turned his head silently, motioning him to look at the monitoring room whose floor height in the Wuyan Tower was totally inconsistent. “This technology should not have been leaked. Wen Yan didn’t even report it in the past two years.”
"..." When this topic was brought up, the corners of Shen Pingyan's mouth drooped unconsciously. Although he was not on the list of people whose information was leaked, it would be uncomfortable for anyone to know that his family assets might be taken away.
"After Solomon took over the video surveillance, Yun asked me for a room to install the surveillance."
But Shen Jian did not expect that the so-called "monitoring" did not refer to the defense system of the Wuyan Tower, but to the "world network" defense system.
The system is in official hands.
Each organization has its own private network, like the private network of the Wuyan Tower, or the detection technology carried by the [Tanling], but the one used on the ground is a grid network covering the entire world.
“It was not long ago that I learned that the ‘world network’ that Yun was talking about was referring to the official network…” Shen Jian said helplessly.
The kid was also very bold. He openly let his machine occupy other people's territory and serve himself.
Shen Pingyan lowered his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, without making any comments on this "revealing" statement. Ever since Shen Jian let him go that day, Mr. would occasionally complain to him - only to him about some of his true feelings.
Although it may soon be snatched away by other jealous subordinates, this trust currently belongs to him alone.
Shen Jian clapped his hands lightly and stood in the center of the circular high-ceilinged room.
Layer upon layer of screens lit up accordingly, spreading rapidly like a virus, filling the dark room with light, and the area was clearly divided into four parts: the annihilation tower area, the camp's organizational area, the front line, and the ground.
Under the extremely high ceiling, everything seems very small, and the whole circle of tables and chairs placed like a spire meeting look like toys.
Finally, Shen Jian turned on the soft light of the hidden treatment, and said calmly: “This will be the command room.”
He turned his head to glance at Shen Pingyan, who was wearing a neat military uniform, and said, "First commander on the front line, how do you feel?"
"...Ah, better than ever, sir." Shen Pingyan replied.
