    "This is our Taiping City?" Lei Xiaochun looked at the land getting closer and closer with some disappointment.  He was a little excited because he had become a Taiping nationality because of his father, and he was full of expectations for Taiping Island, which had been making a lot of noise recently. However, his first impression when he came here was still very different from the so-called royal city he imagined.  "Didn't you say that a great city is being built here? Why are there not even any decent high-rise buildings here?" He looked around depressedly.  After coming out of the airport and driving along the newly built highway, the buildings in sight are basically low.  Maybe it's a little better than the buildings in some small counties, but compared to Kyoto where I came from, it's just like the countryside, and it's not as great as others praise it.  "A city is great not because of its tall buildings." Lei Yun, who was filled with emotion, said this to his son Youran.  Even a year ago, he would never have thought that his son would be able to change his nationality to Taiping.  Although he was unable to join the Taiping Kingdom like his third brother Lei Shi because of taking care of his family and other reasons, he had no regrets in his heart, but he would not easily try to hang his family's future destiny on this new small country.  But now his mind has changed.  Perhaps in the eyes of most people, the Taiping Kingdom has always been just a small country that cannot control its own destiny, even if they were lucky enough to win one or two rounds against Japan.  But for Lei Yun, who had been staying in Taiping Kingdom and watched Taiping Kingdom change every day, Taiping Kingdom was simply a place where miracles were born.  Just like this city, the citizens of the Taiping Kingdom affectionately call her their royal city.  It is because miracles are happening that this city is growing rapidly and moving towards a real super metropolis. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By? of? a? first-time outsider, looking at this city from the outside, their impression is just average, and those who are used to the local high-rise buildings feel it is just average, but they don¡¯t know that this city is expanding underground every day.  Lei Yun even believes that the depth of Taiping Island's underground extension is definitely not weaker than the height of those so-called high-rise buildings, and the extending underground passages are denser than the roads in metropolitan areas.  Because the space that expands underground is definitely more than one floor.  As an old acquaintance of the Taiping Kingdom, Lei Yun has visited at least three floors of underground space.  I didn't even finish shopping after two days of shopping.  And this is only the part that is open to civilian projects and some parts that can be open to outsiders.  There are more sensitive areas that are inaccessible due to his identity.  "We can discover new caves every day!" This is a drunken saying collected by local intelligence personnel stationed in Taiping Island, but many people believe it is true, and there are even rumors that Taiping Island will be changed to Hanging Island.  Laugh.     In their view.  On this new island.  Magma from the Earth's mantle seems to scorch every inch of space in its path.  Even if many of them only see areas that are open to civilian projects.  There were already various sighs.  From the very beginning, the underground space has been partly planned for civil projects and is part of the plan to create a three-dimensional metropolis.  "There is so much precious underground space. It is such a waste to use it for civilian use!" Local intelligence personnel, including Lei Yun, often complain with envy about the waste of Taiping people after seeing the densely populated and spacious subway stations on Taiping Island.  If these underground spaces are used properly, the mainland can drive a nail here that will make it difficult for Americans to sleep or eat.  By then, Americans will hardly have peace at home, let alone meddling in East Asian affairs.  Although the underground space here is not known to be large or deep, as long as it is transformed and modern missile technology continues to develop, it will pose a greater threat than the Soviet Union's use of Cuba.  From a military perspective alone, the role of Taiping Island, with its huge underground space, is no less important than Hawaii¡¯s role in the heart of the Pacific for Americans.  Even if it is not enough to make the mainland directly block the three island chains, it is enough to make the Americans timid.  "We actually don't need to open so much underground space to civilian projects." Many people in the Taiping Kingdom also feel sorry for this. In their view, if the confidentiality is increased, the military defense system thus constructed will make it difficult for anyone who dares to attack.  The enemies who entered Taiping Island had a headache.  "We have fresh water in the underground space and enough space to store food and ammunition. We can build an underground fortress that cannot be conquered. Even if the Americans come, they can only hit the wall and lament." The Taiping Kingdom's general staff even earlier said  They formulated a plan for the military use of underground space and suggested setting aside more underground space.  Fighting in underground space is more complicated than street fighting. Many weapons of the military powers, such as aircraft, tanks, battleships, missiles, etc., have almost no use.  Even if the Americans, who have advanced individual weapons, want to conquer Taiping Island bit by bit,The space and the number of possible casualties are enough to deter them.  And if the underground space cannot be breached, even if the ground is occupied, it cannot be used, and it will ultimately be regarded as useless.  ¡°These underground spaces are used for civilian purposes and are not wasted at all.¡± In this regard, Li Xiang and a group of urban planners are very firm in their attitude.  "Have you ever considered the traffic problems that a city, especially a megacity, needs to solve?" Tian Qing's tone was always unceremonious.  To attract people¡¯s attention and lead the cultural trend, it is essential to build a super metropolis.  Building a great megacity is also a planner's lifelong dream.  But reality is restricting the unlimited expansion of cities, and transportation is a major problem in the world.  Because the automobile industry involves the huge interests of energy oligarchs, giants such as steel and rubber, and arms dealers, it is difficult to change even the power method of changing gasoline to diesel or oil to electricity, let alone hindering the expansion of private vehicles.  Just like in the mainland, everyone knows the benefits of public transportation, but under the baton of internal and external interest groups, the ever-increasing number of private cars has become a decoration in the long queues of traffic jams.  Not to mention the space occupied by parking spaces and the pollution caused by exhaust gas and noise, the saturated capacity of only about 270 vehicles per kilometer will eventually become the insurmountable red line.  Cost disadvantages and also require a certain amount of floor space.  Even staggered overpasses cannot make up for this shortcoming.  After all, a city's ground resources are limited, and the emergence of some extremely popular transportation nodes has become a fatal shortcoming of urban transportation.  What makes Tian Qing happy is that the huge underground space resources on Taiping Island have inherent advantages compared to spending huge sums of money to build three-dimensional transportation lines such as several subway lines.  In her opinion, the criss-crossing lava tunnels are simply a gift from the Creator and the best resource for developing a transportation system.  "We can distribute subways to every point in this city!" Tian Qing, who has always been very serious about actual data, said in a rare exaggeration after getting the underground space exploration report that was constantly being added.  "With these underground transportation lines, even if every family drives out with two cars, I can guarantee that there will be no traffic jams under normal circumstances." Pang Cheng, who became Tian Qing's new assistant, also followed suit.  "Transportation is the conscience of a city. These underground spaces can solve everyone's troublesome traffic problems. What's wasteful?" With the support of a group of planners.  Tian Qing retorted confidently.  ??Obviously, having enough underground space not only solves the problem of transportation, but also the conscience of sewerage as the saying goes, but no one is bothered about it.  "These underground spaces can be used for civilian purposes. Once war breaks out, they can also be converted to military use." Li Xiang is not worried about the use.  "Even if the enemy marks the entire civilian underground space map, we only need to change the structure and set up more levels. It will still make the enemy confused and unable to distinguish between east, west, north and south." Others will worry about the leakage of map secrets, but for those who can move it  For Li Xiang, who works on land reclamation, it is easy to change the structure of the underground passage.  Explosives that can clear the way for the enemy by just removing some rocks are useless.  "The more underground spaces we reveal, the more our enemies may be able to guess our unknown spaces, and they will not dare to take action easily and fall into such an underground maze." Li Xiang is not worried about safety issues, "Besides,  Our strategic policy is to actively defend and keep the enemy from outside the country. If the enemy really attacks the island, our losses will be huge. " Li Xiang is not worried about others' attack at all.  On Taiping Island, there is no need for tunnel warfare. Li Xiang himself might become anxious and start using unconventional means.  He has never announced a harmonious declaration to anyone not to actively use nuclear weapons, nor has he opposed the kindness of killing to stop killing and entering the enemy's lair.  ¡°Ground space is also extremely valuable!¡± Li Xiang¡¯s point of view is partly based on this.  For Li Xiang, ground space that can always be bathed in sunshine and fresh sea breeze is more valuable.  In order to save energy, the Taiping Island he built has more holes than people imagined.  It is no lie that new caves are discovered every day. Li Xiang cannot always be a magic stick. Many caves were discovered by Taiping people through exploration with step-by-step hints.  Just like Lei Yun's guess, the deepest cave has reached the seabed hundreds of meters deep.  In order to solve the problem of discharging sea water, those huge cavities are located directly on the seabed and accommodate a large amount of sea water.  Li Xiang only needs to use some magma to plug the surrounding loopholes, and then drain the sea water, and larger caves will greatly expand the underground world of Taiping Island.  Li Xiang could even use the cover of sea water to travel around Taiping Island or further away.place and build more underwater caves.  This is much simpler and easier than building a ground space that is exposed to the water and easily exposes one's secrets.  With more caves available for military use, it will not affect some of them for civilian use. Even in Li Xiang's plan, in order to occupy less ground space, more caves will be converted for civilian use.  "Underground caves are less sensitive to external conditions and are very suitable for use as warehouses after being converted. Such warehouses are also more suitable for wartime conditions and are not afraid of enemy bombing damage. And our subway lines can directly run through these strategic warehouses, which are basically used in normal times.  No impact.¡± In the blueprint of the planners, they also strongly support Li Xiang¡¯s idea of ??moving as many buildings underground as possible. ¡°These distributed power stations using fuel cells can also be placed underground, and even some factories can be placed underground.  It can operate underground. Our densely packed network can create an environment that is no weaker than the ground space.¡± From the surface, there are not many large factories on Taiping Island.  But Lei Yun knew that Taiping had an unknown number of electronic production lines that were world-class, and the underground vacuum dust-free constant-temperature workshops built for this purpose were also world-class.  Li Xiang only needs to borrow the gas in the space earth, and it is easy to create a vacuum environment that others have invested heavily in.  Such vacuum conditions are even used cheaply in underground production workshops of some daily necessities.  In places where Lei Yun can't see, and where others can't see, more underground factories are being built and improved by Li Xiang.  The thick strata became the best cover for Li Xiang to display his magical powers.  But the buildings on the ground are eye-catching, so we can only proceed step by step.  This is also the reason why there are no high-rise buildings in the Taiping Kingdom. According to the laws of construction, just one year is not enough for countless high-rise buildings to be erected on the ground.  But Lei Yun never doubted the future of this city.  "The greatness of a city is multi-faceted. The greatness of this city has begun to rise from underground. You should not just look at the surface of this city. You must understand her more deeply to understand her greatness more clearly." Lei Yun told  The son solemnly said, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice, and the meeting of the country's highest authority will be held on this day. By then, you will understand the true greatness of this city." (To be continued) PS: I hope you can still watch it.  Happy New Year to everyone who has received this blessing!
