308 Symptoms of total collapse
Since the beginning of the monster crisis, the earth ball has destroyed hundreds of first-level and second-level monsters. If placed in a controllable environment, it is a huge victory for the overall civilization.
But fighting monsters is slightly different, and the actual situation is getting worse and worse.
According to data provided by relevant statistical agencies, as of the end of xx24, five second-level monsters around the world were in a state of circumvention. There are signs that there may be more than one monster nest under the seabed of the Great Middle Ocean.
Countries around the Greater, Middle and Oceania are all trying to find ways to assist countries a and c in search. Unfortunately, due to the problem of underwater combat capabilities, they have lost at least five submarines so far, and no credible conclusions have been drawn.
Not to mention the earth ball when fighting underwater, even in the game, it shows a long-lasting difficulty.
As a liquid, water itself restrains high-speed objects almost like concrete.
The underwater strike capabilities mastered by humans are limited to deep-water bombs, underwater nuclear explosions, torpedoes, and mines, and there is no electromagnetic harpoon in the game.
It's not bad, the problem is that these methods are not easy to deal with small monsters.
The deep-water bomb sinks too slowly and does not threaten the relatively petite little monster;
It is not realistic to use a nuclear explosion to completely eliminate small monsters. Although the underwater nuclear explosion is powerful, the high threat radius is relatively poor.
The launch depth of conventional torpedoes generally does not exceed 30 meters of water depth, and can be released even deeper. The performance and safety cannot be guaranteed. In the case of limited water depth, the strike efficiency can be imagined.
In fact, weapons are not the key point. The key point is that modern military submarines do not have underwater optical observation capabilities. Most of them still use old sonar devices and rely heavily on ears and cannot automatically simulate digital environment graphics. This leads to their combat methods that must be a turn-based response method, which is not suitable for dealing with small monsters.
The mines are slightly better, but they do not have mobility.
In this regard, the local players have also made efforts, with results, but no influence.
There are fruitful results because the earthball man did create a submersible that could face the small monsters underwater.
These submersibles are generally modified with tourist submarines and scientific research submarines. Because they are smaller in size, they do not require high-strength enclosures as military submarines, which retain the possibility of installing optical observation windows. Most tourist submarines that do not emphasize the depth of submersibles simply use acrylic (plexiglass) shells.
The models that already have results on the escort route are all in the fishing net and torpedo mode. The fishing net is deliberately made into a structure that easily entangles the target. With the underwater automatic inflatable float (built-in compressed air cylinder), it can force the small monster to a depth suitable for torpedo strike.
The reason why we have no influence is that we are still in the exploration stage, and the models developed in different places vary greatly, and there is no mass production, and we cannot fight in dull seas.
The lightless sea area biologically refers to less than one thousand meters, while 200 to one thousand meters belongs to the biological light zone. For the demand for monster combat, less than eighty meters can be defined as lightlessness. Without strong lights, it is basically a delivery of dishes.
Lighting can solve the light problem. Visibility is affected by the turbidity of seawater, and some sea areas can meet the needs of combat vision. The problem is that the weapon system will basically become a slanted view at this depth.
Nowadays, in addition to escorting fleets, the greatest defensive force comes from the large number of mines deployed.
Mines have no technical content. Like landmines, they are weapons that will be victimized for life in one deployment. Some of them also have the possibility of a global hidden danger after the anchor chain corrosion and drifting away with the ocean currents. However, in order to ensure the last bit of global capacity, large-scale deployment has to be carried out.
In this environment, the status of monster combat submersibles is embarrassing.
Either make it smaller and incorporate it into the escort fleet in a form similar to a lifeboat, and use it as an eye under the water; or it is in the port, only responsible for emergency resistance when the mine net is touched by a monster.
But in fact, the escort formation is more willing to use unmanned reconnaissance submersibles and towed detection equipment, so it is not distressed if it loses. In terms of ports, the water depth of most ports is less than 30 meters a few kilometers away, and high-speed surface torpedo boats can do the mission better!
If the deep-water combat capability cannot be broken through, the new submersible will not have suitable battlefield positioning.
However, deep water combat has serious contradictions.
Deep water means that real-time data exchange with the surface system cannot be achieved, and all information needs to be collected and processed by the boat itself. Such requirements will inevitably lead to the larger submersibles, which will obviously move closer to existing military submarines.
The most radical thing in this regard is the new enterprise invested by Lijiaji, the Mala Strait, which adopts a dual-machine solution and uses optical fiber to directly connect a water surface to follow the mobile data station to obtain data link support.
The use of surface stations to receive information collected and processed by other surface ships towed or deployed sonars can effectively control the number of equipment and manpower needs of underwater entities.
But it's useless. The optical fiber is very fragile. The waves and undercurrents pull, and the movements on and underwater cannot be fully synchronized. The hubs responsible for dragging and dropping and recycling optical fibers work constantly. Various tosses have caused the team to change more than a dozen fiber/cable models, and none of them can survive for a hundred working hours to test.
After all, optical fibers all over the world are fixed facilities, and no one has to do anything to develop a resistant to repeated bending and stretching. Even if you invest in a fiber optic enterprise on site, a new type of wire that is not available elsewhere will eventually be distributed to subsequent combat submersibles. Then you don’t want to buy it without opening the unit price.
In short, after two years of trouble, in addition to the escort formation, we can also escort the fleet on the deep-sea route. The existing sea transportation is concentrated in the water area within 60 meters. Only a few areas have to maintain a minefield with a water depth of more than 60 meters due to poor environment.
At first glance, the depth of 60 meters seems not much different from the fish pond. In fact, some places on the earth ball do not reach this depth, such as the large bathtub sea in the West Central Ocean, the sea of kelp in the East Central Ocean, the sea area around a certain island country in the Indian Ocean, some areas of the Dapiaoliangzhou Paradise Sea, etc., facing the ocean coastal areas to a range of several kilometers to dozens of kilometers, so the range of freight activities is not small.
Compared with two years ago, global shipping has shrunk by about 70%.
It has shrunk a lot. In fact, compared to the chaos when the Golden Canal accident just happened, everyone has done a good job. If it weren't for the reduction in demand caused by the increasing number of occupied areas, more could have been preserved.
Compared with shipping, the fall of various places has brought greater difficulties to the world.
The so-called fall is that both the government is destroyed by monsters, and some people turn into monsters and cannot produce normally due to the breeding of monsters.
In the former, international armed rescue forces have been exhausted, and there is no way to quickly return to order more areas. Just because of this change, millions of people are expected to die in various criminals this year. The new warlords, coupled with the newly added deaths in the occupied areas due to hunger, will be exaggerated;
The latter has caused military pressure on the borders in the surrounding areas. It almost exhausts all its strength for places with insufficient industrialization. From time to time, external support is required to withstand the spread of humanized monsters on the border.
The occupied areas not only bring themselves to global rescue burdens, but also have an impact on surrounding areas not only at the military level.
According to the influence, the country that has fallen into a total collapse has the highest ranking in e-country, but it still maintains basic official operation with one-third of its "clean" territory. And no matter how much the Western Central Community is straddling, it is also the third largest economy in the world. It has an impact but is not fatal.
The second is au, which has the greatest impact on the surrounding areas among the occupied areas.
In addition to the capacity of the Arctic route for more than 100 days per year, au and its surrounding island countries are the most important maritime transport routes around the Greater, Middle and Oceania region.
Au was ruined by the second-level monsters for several waves and the population was reduced by half. The smaller island countries around were no longer safe. With a little economic strength, they were willing to immigrate at all costs, even if they went to the inland countries to clean up their plates.
The loss of senior talents caused by this wave of population migration directly caused the transition island chain from Zhongzhou to Nanda Beautiful Continent to completely collapse. By January 25, there were only three ports left on the entire maritime chain that could refuel large freighters, and one of them should be counted as the Central Region.
There are many similar situations. Statistically, the number of several percentage points is converted into area, and the occupied areas and areas that cause negative impacts can account for nearly 30%.
What's left is not intact, it's just that many things take time to spread.
Then there is the problem of immigration wave caused by fear.
Under the premise that both industry and agriculture have been greatly affected, the number of new jobs that can be generated is very limited, and the immigration wave is even harder than that of refugees a few years ago.
As mentioned earlier, immigration from inland countries has brought them development opportunities. In fact, due to water resources, transportation conditions, and the total amount of migration is relatively limited. A inland country only has a few thousand people to about one hundred thousand.
More people are crowding towards the coastal countries in Central China near the inland.
Zhongzhou is known as the world island, which concentrates most of the world's population. It is affected by military strength and industrial distribution, and has also become the last place of hope for the monster crisis.
Based on strength, Country A will not be weaker, but individual cognition will vary.
Country A believes that it is a global model and leader of civilization, but in fact, it can be seen clearly that it is more suitable for people who are vicious and fierce. More "mortals" still believe that Zhongzhou, a region that is more affected by ancient civilization, should be safer.
Even if we think more rationally, in terms of strategic depth, the world island is not comparable to that of a beautiful continent. If humans reach the stage of perseverance, the country A may not be able to continue the world island.
Therefore, most people have turned their immigrants to Central China and raised problems for all regions of the Central China.
It would be better for C country who did not accept direct immigration, although it would be scolded by foreigners, and would not lose any meat. However, now many illegal immigrants from many places have lost their repatriation conditions and must make some arrangements, which are about one million people.
The Western Central Region is worse. If you get over the fire, you will eventually cause the fire to burn your body.
According to incomplete statistics, in 24 years, the number of new population settled in Western Central China through legal and illegal channels reached 10 million, and some institutions said that the actual number would increase by 20%.
The position of Western Central in modern history is undoubtedly the leading of the industrial age, the birthplace of modern medical care and education, the birthplace of the two development lines, etc., but no matter how you say it, the entire Western Central continent is only a region where the area, population, economic size, and industrial capacity are not as good as those of Country C. A bunch of countries have gathered together to live, which has also caused additional waste of administrative resources.
The pressure brought by 10 million new immigrants, coupled with the industrial volume lost by the monster attack in G country, has directly pulled down the quality of life of the people in the entire region. The crime problems caused by the lack of jobs have further intensified the situation.
From this perspective, the statistical figures summarized in xx24 years ago mean a bit over-beautified.
To put it seriously, even if the monsters do nothing this year, the world will have to spend a lot of energy and countless resources to maintain the current situation without worsening.
