-I am telling all this because individual points from the above, although not some kind of discovery, but depending on the worldview, are considered by many people as conspiracy theories. For example, someone thinks the idea of the United States deliberately occupying its allies is nonsense, someone sincerely believes that the peace package has not been signed solely because both sides fear deconvention. In fact, the Occupation is taking place, and peace is not being concluded out of fear of deconvention. What I am telling you, I know for sure. By the way, have you seen the Seventh Headquarters?
- No, I did not have time to properly understand the optical system, or rather, I did not have time when I was flying over Antarctica. And I have already read about it in the document, so you do not need to convince me. I have already read a lot of interesting things before you appeared. It is surprising that I did not remember some things until I found myself on the ship and took off.
- On top of everything, you also have a biochip in your head. Do you know how it works?
- I can imagine in general terms. In general, it is called a neurochip. It is a neurostimulator, sometimes implanted for medical purposes.
- That's right, they also compare it to a light bulb that makes a dog drool. What kind of... You didn't even have to be persuaded. Do you remember that?
- I remember, what's the big deal? At one time, it was fashionable to install various chips and interfaces into the head. I must admit, at first I thought that some files were written there. That amused the doctors then. In fact, it's much simpler than a file storage. And during the medical examination, no questions - a neurostimulator, what's the big deal? I was already there, in everyday life, about the medical examination. I knew about this neurochip, but I remembered the circumstances of the implantation as different, fictitious.
- The files, as you called it, were hammered directly into your brain. Not digital files, of course, but a training course, I can't call it anything else.
- What's the big deal? Do you know how great that works? I'm like a cyborg. I have to strain a little, and a super-secret message sounds in my head, which I myself had no idea about. And no one will eavesdrop or hack it.
- How old were you then? Okay, let's move on. So, with everything I've said before, I want to convey to you the idea that no one is actually planning to end the War now. If such a war had happened in the last century, it would have ultimately brought the entire civilization to nothing, but now there are reactors that produce as much energy as needed. The chemical industry will use this energy to make whatever you want out of whatever you want. Medicine, too. You know that even in the last century, some kind of oncology sounded like a death sentence, but now... Garbage is no longer a problem - you can split all this into any components with an electric arc, but I don't need to tell you. The Super Federation, however, has moved a little to the sidelines of this progress, I'm talking about garbage crises, - she grinned. - But in general, existence in the conditions of the War is now possible, and if the War is converted to a completely orbital one, then it will be even better. Well, of course, for the masters, and not for the rabble, although, at a glance, their life will become, as you said, better and more fun. In general, somewhere around 2116-2117, a course was taken towards conversion. I will not talk about Conversion - this is the same Conversion of the Military Process, which is constantly described in all colors. I have nothing to add.
I will only say one little thing - there are two approaches. The first is to first convert the War, and bring the rear to the general desired form. This is how Oppenheimer thinks in particular. The other approach is to first work with the rear, and then Conversion. This, as you can easily guess, is Harlington.
As you understand, and if you do not understand, then I will tell you once again that this is practically the same thing.
Now let's talk about what this work with the rear means. The rear, as you know, is, at first glance, in a depressing state - a bunch of internal confrontations, and that's not counting other little things like social problems. We've already talked about why the Super-Federant was needed, although as the War progressed, more functions were added to its purpose. That's not it now.
In general, despite the external devastation, the rear of the bloc, this community of all your, that is, our countries, is quite functional - weapons from the fourth-fifth classes to the highest precision are produced and developed, there is enough food, fresh forces are arriving at the front. People are busy.
Nevertheless, there are certain shortcomings that need to be eliminated in the future. And they want to eliminate them.
The main core of the rear is the so-called Big Assembler, aka the Conveyor - this is the same well-known military-industrial complex, only during the War, figuratively speaking, from an ordinary strongman he was pumped up into a steroid monster. Fortification of enterprises again. His, the Assembler's, enterprises. They built this shuttle in a year, although, of course, there were previous prototypes with a conventional nuclear engine, an extensive private research program and preliminary prototypes of a thermonuclear engine. Nevertheless, before the War, such construction would have dragged on for a decade instead of one year. Well, or so.
Maybe you know the story of the Soviet military-industrial complex, the one that was in the First Union. Yes, it is shrouded in many stupid legends, but they really knew how to do some things and did them. At the same time, the desire of ordinary people to have fashionable trinkets like jeans and CD players was, as they say, a big no-no.
Then this military-industrial complex fell apart into rusty shreds, but ordinary people were able to afford a VCR... what a story. It's funny, I'm telling you about your own country. Okay, that's normal.
So, the current Assembler is not comparable in power to the Soviet military-industrial complex. It also to a certain extent suppresses the aspirations of ordinary people for a variety of living conditions. For chic. And also in the event of signing a peace package, which, however, will not happen, Assembler could repeat the fate of the Soviet one. The owners, that is, those who head the AEX and GBA, do not want this at all. Similar considerations, as well as a similar military-industrial complex, exist in the Asian bloc, although everything is a little different there. The ideological component and general discipline are somewhat higher there. This is not a reproach to you.
