Chapter 75: Four Major Combat Professions
After a decade of emergency migration and construction, Dragon City, at its peak on Earth, had a population of tens of millions.
Among them, millions are experts and scholars who have moved from coastal areas, as well as highly qualified workers.
There are also hundreds of full-time colleges and universities, hundreds of research institutes and industrial parks. There are two steel groups alone, with millions of researchers and industrial workers.
In order to cope with the brutal war, Longcheng has a very complete range of industries, with upstream and downstream industrial chains complete. A large number of military-industrial enterprises and war bases are hidden deep underground, and many underground bases are sufficient to withstand the bombardment of nuclear weapons.
Around Longcheng, various industrial and scientific and technological towns that moved inland from the coast have formed more than a dozen satellite cities. Together with the main urban area of Longcheng, they constitute a super metropolitan area that is rare in the world.
All of this happened overnight, crossing into another world.
Because the spaces of both sides overlapped and squeezed each other, very strange space folding and stretching phenomena appeared around the entire Longcheng urban area.
For example, about 50 kilometers north of the main urban area, there was originally an industrial town with a population of more than 200,000.
After crossing over, a mountain range from another world was unexpectedly inserted between this small town and the main urban area, and the distance from the town to the main urban area was extended to one hundred kilometers.
Due to the long distance and the thick fog, it was more than 20 years before people in the main city discovered the town.
At this time, the population of the industrial town had dropped sharply from 200,000 to less than 30,000.
There is a shortage of supplies, technological regression, and a collapse of order... A population of only 200,000 and a broken industrial system are not enough for this small town to continue the flame of civilization on its own in another world.
Many of the citizens who were rescued had already been tortured to the point of being on the verge of death. In order to survive, they had even undergone earth-shaking changes in their organs and limbs, from their eating habits to their moral concepts.
The situation in Jiangnan region is similar.
After struggling in the fog for more than ten years, it was finally discovered by the main urban area of Jiangbei.
Fortunately, this is not an ordinary town. The size of Jiangnan District is enough to ensure that the fire of civilization will not be extinguished under the invasion of alien worlds.
It's just that the erosion by the alien world is more serious, the fog is thicker than Jiangbei, space cracks are more likely to appear, and there are more and more ferocious monsters.
Therefore, the customs of the people in the Jiangnan region are more sturdy than those in Jiangbei, or in other words, there are simply not many ordinary citizens here. Instead, it is a "paradise" for the Red Dragon Army and the extraordinary people.
Without some skills, no one would dare to settle down in the south of the Yangtze River.
Of course, being found in the main urban area is considered lucky.
More science and technology parks and industrial towns are still lost in the fog.
The authorities have also sent out a large number of exploration teams to search for it, but due to the drastic changes in the terrain caused by space folds, many small towns and even satellite cities are no longer at their original coordinates.
In addition, there was severe interference in the fog, visibility was extremely low, and there were monster attacks, so progress was very slow.
Even so, "consolidating the Jiangnan District, opening up satellite cities, and exploring lost towns" remains Longcheng's established strategy for decades.
Whether from a moral point of view or for the sake of obtaining more population and production capacity, the Survival Committee cannot allow satellite cities and industrial towns to be ravaged by monsters in the fog.
Therefore, every year, practical tests for undergraduates are conducted on the front lines in the Jiangnan region.
This method tells the candidates where the swords and will of mankind will be directed.
"Get off the train. We need to change to an armored train to cross the river."
"The Chilong River is so spectacular!"
"Look, there's a monster in the river!"
The candidates got off the bus to stretch their muscles, and when they were blown by the river breeze and water mist, they all cried out in surprise.
After the time travel, the terrain of the earth and the terrain of the alien world merged together in various strange ways, and the Chilong River somehow merged with a large river in the alien world with a huge flow.
Due to sudden changes in runoff and silt accumulation at the river bottom, the Chilong River has flooded several times.
After Longcheng crossed over, the first catastrophe it faced was the flooding of the Chilong River. The river suddenly became several miles wider than before, and the flood was raging, drowning countless citizens.
The rampant plague after the flood led to the emergence of the zombie craze.
After decades of governance and the gradual stabilization of space, humans once again conquered the Chilong River.
Despite this, several miles along the river bank are still a military restricted area and ordinary citizens cannot easily approach.
No wonder they screamed when they saw the turbulent waves and muddy waves in the river.
I saw mud and minerals from another world rolling down, making the river water faintly red, which just fits the name "Red Dragon".
As the tide rises and falls, many aquatic monsters are showing their fangs and claws.
Most of these monsters are relatively weak and not adapted to fighting on land. Instead, they are often hunted by humans and become an important source of high-quality protein.
Boom boom boom boom!
Dozens of armored airships lowered their altitude and dropped stun grenades similar to depth charges into the river, creating a series of water columns hundreds of meters high.
Countless aquatic monsters were knocked unconscious by the explosion and floated to the surface of the river, just in time to be caught by the high-strength fishing net with barbs.
Some aquatic monsters were unwilling to surrender and jumped out of the river, trying to attack the armored airship.
But they were dozens of meters apart, so even if they could jump into the air, they would be at the end of their strength and would be blown into a hornet's nest by machine guns on the spot.
Not to mention that there are extraordinary people flying around in the air. If they encounter a rare aquatic super beast, the extraordinary people and armored airships will rush forward and suppress it.
Soon, all the hideous and ugly aquatic monsters were dragged to the shore.
The harvesters have already been waiting here. After simple processing, they are sent to the fish processing plant using robotic arms.
After a series of magnificent operations on the assembly line, the monsters that were originally baring fangs and claws were all turned into square-headed cans.
The so-called canned luncheon meat is actually made from the leftovers of aquatic monsters, giant earthworm meat and various food additives.
This scene made the candidates excited.
"We Earthlings are indeed the most brutal creatures under the stars. We eat whatever we can find wherever we go!"
"What monster? I'm afraid that to these poor beasts, we are the monsters, right?"
"We will definitely win the ultimate victory in this battle for survival!"
Dozens of school buses were parked at a military base on the river bank.
The soldiers looked at the candidates getting off the bus with curiosity and envy.
There were also a few veterans with unshaven beards and tattered clothes, who looked like they had just come back from the front lines. They greeted the children with a smile and reminded them to wear more diapers during the practical test later to avoid wetting their pants.
"Woo! Woo!"
The armored train's crystal engine screamed, and air waves rushed up into the sky. In the smoke, the black turret on the carriage looked particularly majestic.
Thousands of candidates boarded armored trains and crossed the railway bridge toward the Jiangnan region.
The Chilong River today is almost twice as wide as it was in the Earth era. There are high tides every day, with huge waves crashing against the shore and rocks shooting through the air, which is extremely spectacular.
However, no matter how ferocious the rivers are, they can be conquered by humans.
After decades of construction, twelve "Longjiang Bridges" have been built on the river where the other side cannot be seen at a glance, and five more are under construction. They are like sharp swords running through the city, a symbol of the earthlings' conquest of the alien world once again.
Many candidates took an armored train across the Chilong River for the first time. They couldn't help cheering when they saw the surging river and the savage monsters under their feet.
Among them, Chu Feixiong's roar was the loudest.
Candidates taking the undergraduate practical test were assigned to dozens of different examination rooms. The two brothers were lucky enough to be assigned to the same room. They met by chance on an armored train and were overjoyed.
Chu Feixiong's written test score was pretty good, 812 points, ranking more than 10,000 in the city.
In his own words, "Brother Xiong's writing has always been ordinary. He can rank more than 10,000. In the actual test, as long as he can display the earth-shattering "Super Bull Power" and get into the top 5,000 in the total score, he will have a great chance of being admitted to the military academy, or even the heroic spirit department of the military academy!"
This is true. Meng Chao has instructed many citizens in the past month, and the ones he cares about most are naturally his best friends.
This guy was a bit stubborn, so he practiced "Mang Niu Jue" hard, and the more he practiced, the more excited he became.
It wasn't a mysterious and unfathomable magical power. After practicing hard for more than a month, combined with his natural strength, he might be able to create a miracle.
Just then, the large screen at the front of each carriage lit up.
The noisy carriage immediately quieted down, and Meng Chao and Chu Feixiong also stood on tiptoe to watch.
This is an introduction to the "four major combat professions".
It represents the top majors of four prestigious universities with the highest score lines.
First, a .
He stood straight as a javelin in front of a collapsed bunker.
"The Otherworld is a place where the interference of spirits on matter is far greater than on Earth. Here, our souls and wills are no longer illusory, but may be visible to the naked eye."
The heroic officer said, "The human brain sends information to the outside world through brain waves at all times, especially when it is strongly stimulated, determined, and has a strong will, it will release a large amount of highly condensed information.
"On Earth, this information is quickly dissipated by the winds and completely shredded by Earth's magnetic field and solar storms.
“But in the alien world, the stellar radiation and planetary magnetic fields here are slightly different from those on Earth.
"With the nourishment and protection of the super energy 'psychic energy', human brain waves can exist in the void for a long time. Even if the physical body perishes, our faith, will and spirit may turn into 'obsession' and continue to exist.
“These obsessions are not souls, nor are they so-called ghosts or spirits. They have no personality, thoughts, or feelings. They are just like photos and videos, faithfully recording the owner’s most brilliant spirit during his lifetime, or the strongest wish at the time of his death.
"If the spirit is bright enough and the desire is strong enough, the obsession will last for a long time and even absorb spiritual energy, continue to grow, and attract and condense with the same type of obsession. In the end, it will turn into a heroic spirit!"
