Military ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Cultural Committee personnel carried out friendly visits with representatives of the various racial groups and tribes,and distributed invitations to them to travel to the Alliance Capital to jointly discuss matters of independent autonomy。

There ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍were countless ethnic groups within the Allied Nations,normally speaking inviting everyone would be troublesome,so these representatives were not limited to a single race,they could also be joint delegations of multiple races or multiple ethnic groups within a region。

Large ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍numbers of Military Transport Aircraft and ships were temporarily modified,transporting the leaders from various places across the oceans through all kinds of methods to the Subcontinent to participate in this World Joint Conference。

Those ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍who could represent a race or ethnic group and come to attend the conference,within the Alliance’s conception these people would basically all become the predecessors of nations large or small in the future,it could be said that they were all potential clients。

At ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍this Joint Conference,through a full vote the Seven Nations would roughly be divided and reorganized,the newly formed nations would be incorporated into the newly established World Government system and formally registered on record。

Then the Revival Plan would officially begin,providing the newly formed nations with free aid and support in reconstruction technology and funding。

All aid plans during specific implementation would follow basic Market Principles,new nations would complete certification applications,and apply to the Revival Committee for aid。

The Committee would conduct cross-review through the downstream Ministry of Finance,Alliance Ministry of Construction,Alliance Central Bank,Internal Affairs Department and other parties to complete calculations and approvals,forming specific construction plan orders that would be placed into a general pool and listed for bidding,allowing the various States to bid independently。

The bidding was not awarded to the highest bidder,instead within the plan’s mandatory construction standards whoever offered the lowest price would win the bid,and in order to prevent malicious underbidding a minimum cost threshold was also established。

The winning company could receive targeted funding from the Revival Committee according to the construction plan,then go to the local area to complete the construction task。

The newly established Continental Revival Plan Committee’s funding pool had already received a total of 40 billion Alliance Currency for the first two phases of Stage One,this plan was expected to invest approximately 100 billion across five phases in Stage One,with no specific upper limit。

The aid funds and materials were free,but the national markets of the aided nations after being supported had to unconditionally integrate into the World Government system,and at the same time they had to adopt an open policy across all sectors of their own nations,accepting investment from friendly foreign enterprises。

Anyway regardless of what the future held,this plan itself represented an enormous and lasting profit,and every State coveted it greatly。

Even the worst State in the Alliance possessed a complete self-circulating Basic Industrial System,with enough Technical Reserves to complete the reconstruction of a small or medium-sized city。

Of course,things like Large Bridges,Undersea Tunnels,Railway Networks or large、Super-large Urban Clusters still had to be handled by national-level enterprises,working jointly through subcontracting with State-owned Enterprises。

However they had no communication channels through which to promote the enterprises of their own States,so this naturally became an excellent opportunity to promote themselves at close range to friends from various nations。

After most political dignitaries、chieftains、and representatives had arrived on the Alliance mainland,Sivius State Capital,acting as the vanguard,announced the convening of the Alliance’s First Transportation Expo。

It was both an event to popularize the Alliance’s various cutting-edge Transportation Technologies among its own citizens and increase national confidence,and also indirectly a process of flexing its muscles to the various racial representatives。

Infrastructure,infrastructure,no matter how a city was built it definitely could not avoid its Transportation System,all kinds of large Rail-laying Machines,First-generation Tunnel Boring Machines,Bridge and Road Construction Machinery,as well as Large Passenger Aircraft,Commercial Flexible Giant Airships,and Intercontinental Broad-gauge Double-deck Heavy-duty Trains。

There was even one final trump card as the main event。

A black-and-white bullet-shaped locomotive was parked in the center of the exhibition hall,it was called bullet-shaped because the locomotive resembled half a conical bullet lying on the ground,the front of the locomotive extended extremely far forward,making it appear long and elegant。

Crowds of onlookers packed the surroundings,the side door of the locomotive had already been opened allowing visitors to board the train and observe it from close range。

【Anti-gravity Superconducting Train】

Actually within the Alliance people preferred to call it the Magic Superconducting Magnetic Train,but Anti-gravity Superconducting Train was simpler,and sounded a little better。

The proposal for this train had been put forward extremely early,basically beginning simultaneously after the Alliance obtained Anti-gravity Technology,the greatest transformation of the Industrial Revolution was the disruptive leap in the field of transportation。

The leap in transportation was the foundation that allowed the fruits created by Industrial Reform to reach every household,so technological breakthroughs in the transportation field had always been one of the key projects in the Alliance Academy of Sciences’ research plans。

Anti-gravity...just hearing it made it obvious that this was an excellent new Transportation Technology。

Lower self-weight together with higher payload reduced energy consumption while also increasing transport capacity,even slight application allowed the Alliance to gain roughly a threefold increase in transportation capacity out of thin air without changing the existing Transportation Structure,an improvement no less than a Technological Revolution。

Setting aside wartime needs,Anti-gravity had also gradually penetrated all kinds of Public Convenience Infrastructure,it could be said that Anti-gravity Devices were now used everywhere among the results of the Alliance’s Large-scale Infrastructure Projects。

However the most advanced Anti-gravity creation was today’s protagonist,the Anti-gravity Superconducting Train。

This thing was actually a product derived from the Alliance Low-temperature and High-temperature Superconducting Maglev Train Project,and in fact did not belong to the Anti-gravity Research Group’s research topic。

As Electrification advanced,the Alliance gradually began attempting applications of various forces,with Magnetic Force accounting for the largest proportion of research among the refined classifications。

However the Maglev Train was still too advanced for the Alliance,and before this progress had also been fairly ordinary。

It was only after the field of Magic Research began catching up that the Maglev Project Group underwent a 180-degree reversal,and rapidly completed theoretical breakthroughs as well as physical implementation and operational experiments。

The difficulties previously encountered by the Maglev Train could be divided into three categories,testing and application of Magnetic Force and Magnetic Fields,absolute temperature control for Low-temperature Superconductivity,and internal power supply for the train。

And these three problems were also interconnected,for example in testing Magnetic Force and Magnetic Fields,the manufacturing cost of ordinary Electromagnets was extremely low,but applying them to the field of trains encountered major obstacles。

As everyone knew the stronger the Magnetic Force of a magnet,the greater the Lift and Propulsive Force,thereby achieving higher speed and greater levitation。

But ordinary Electromagnets could not increase current to the limit,because due to the Thermal Eddy-current Effect the greater the current the higher the temperature of the Electromagnet,which in turn caused its Magnetic Force to rapidly decay and weaken,in order to maintain its Magnetic Strength and Magnetic Force energy supply had to be increased while simultaneously cooling it。

For this reason they could only replace it with another type of Superconducting Magnet,Superconducting Magnets were divided into High-temperature Superconductivity and Low-temperature Superconductivity,and this train used a Low-temperature Superconductor。

After the conductor material dropped below the Critical Low Temperature it suddenly produced an enormous Zero-resistance Current,in other words as long as you passed current through it once,under Zero Resistance the Superconducting Coil would circulate this current forever,with no energy loss,and the current flowing within the Superconducting Coil far exceeded that of ordinary Permanent Magnets。

In Mitia’s previous life,in order to keep the Superconducting Coils beneath a Maglev Train permanently in an ultra-low-temperature state of Zero Resistance,a cooling system had to be installed for this purpose,such as a Liquid Helium Refrigeration System。

Liquid oxygen passed around the outer shell of the Superconductor and carried away its heat,actually after the Superconductor itself had current injected into it it no longer required additional energy,but the cooling device needed to maintain its ultra-low-temperature state wasted enormous amounts of electricity。

In addition each side where Superconducting Coils were located needed a set installed,and the increased weight from multilayer stacking then required even stronger Magnetic Force to balance,turning it into the problem of adding flour when there was too much water,then adding water when there was too much flour,which also left it with almost no economic practicality。

At the same time in order to provide Magnetic Levitation Force,densely arranged inverted figure-eight coils had to be installed along the tracks to provide Levitation Magnetic Force for the train,this was another electricity-devouring monster。

But these problems did not exist in a Magic World,the low temperatures required for a Low-temperature Superconducting state could be maintained permanently through Magic Inscriptions,while Matrix Energy Crystals with their small size、high energy density、ease of replacement and other characteristics completely outclassed the Liquid Helium Refrigeration System。

The space freed by removing Liquid Helium Refrigeration was used to install Composite Anti-gravity Devices,the power supply group was uniformly supplied by Energy Crystals,combined with a propulsion system composed of ordinary magnets inside the track,as well as Anti-gravity Inscription Arrays,the Anti-gravity Train moved from drawings into reality。

In experimental testing,at maximum power the Anti-gravity Train reached a top speed of 798 kilometers per hour,truly flying while hugging the ground。

However this speed had little practical operational significance,after formally entering service its speed would remain around 500 kilometers per hour,and it also had to operate on a dedicated Superconducting Line。

After all at speeds above 500 kilometers per hour a manually operated Dispatch Center was basically useless,the time between feedback and the Train Driver receiving the message would be enough for the train to die three or four times over,only after future Computer Systems underwent large-scale innovation would it be possible to open operating speeds above 500 kilometers per hour。

But 500 kilometers per hour was still a disruptive speed,the current top speed of Alliance trains was still around 250 kilometers per hour,the technological generation gap between laboratory products and products in actual use was at least three generations。

At present several Economic Special Zones within the Alliance all had demand for construction of Anti-gravity Superconducting Trains,a speed of 500 kilometers per hour was already enough to allow each Economic Special Zone to form a three-hour or even one-hour Circular Economic Radiation Zone。

In the future through constructing Vacuum Tracks on elevated pillars to build intercontinental routes,with Air Resistance removed it would not be impossible for Anti-gravity Superconducting Trains to achieve Subsonic or even Supersonic speeds。

However although this thing looked incredibly impressive in reality it was only there for those foreigners to look at,Technology Export was impossible,the Alliance Central Train Factory had simply flexed its muscles,the main export product was another Intercontinental Broad-gauge Double-deck Heavy-duty Train。

Some officials within the Alliance proposed a plan,in the future at least 3-5 Ultra-long-distance Railway Trunk Lines with total lengths on the scale of ten thousand kilometers would be constructed on the Main Continent,directly connecting the Allied Nations of the Main Continent with one another。

Their thinking was that Airships were too slow,their enormous aerial size also affected safety,Aircraft had limited range and carrying capacity,while maritime transport could not penetrate deep into the continent,after calculating everything Trains were still the most cost-effective,so this Century Plan was derived。

With 2200-millimeter-gauge Broad-body Rails trains could be made extremely large,train height would be around seven meters,double-deck passenger carriages would be approximately 420m long,freight versions would be extended to around one kilometer,with a maximum speed exceeding 200 kilometers per hour。

However this technology was somewhat fanciful,and was shot down by technical experts at the meeting。

This plan was basically impossible,not only was there the issue of whether every nation would agree,even if all agreed,building something with such an enormous span on the Main Continent itself was a major problem。

How would construction be carried out?Where would the materials come from?Where would the labor come from?Moreover tracks capable of bearing seven-meter-high Double-deck Carriages had extremely demanding requirements for steel。

Even if it were truly completed,who would conduct daily maintenance and patrols?If someone stole a section of such a long railway line that would be quite a spectacle,a carriage more than 400 meters long would certainly have over a thousand passengers,as long as one major accident occurred and caused public panic,the entire railway operation would encounter problems。

The total investment in this plan was an astronomical figure,if it could not be recovered the losses would be enough to instantly collapse several nations,even the Alliance itself might be unable to bear it。

However now that the entire Continent had been reduced to ruins,if the absurd parts of this plan were revised it actually seemed possible to launch it。

First of all as the various construction plans were subcontracted out,large numbers of infrastructure personnel and companies would spread across more than half the Continent,the materials required for infrastructure would also meet the requirements of railway construction,then using them as chain nodes with each region undertaking one section was theoretically feasible。

However a Super Railway Network on the scale of ten thousand kilometers was still unrealistic,but fragmented segmented construction winding between cities as stations,which could then connect overall into a Railway Network,was indeed feasible。

Similar to Intercontinental Logistics Dedicated-line Trains,the 2200-millimeter Track Gauge would allow them to easily haul more resources,and during wartime they could also be directly requisitioned,becoming powerful support for the rapid circulation and deployment of the Alliance’s Mobile Forces。

Together with supporting Intercontinental Unlimited-speed Expressways,it could not be said for the entire Continent but the various nations within the Seven-Nation Alliance would indeed to a certain extent be connected over land through railways and roads,further reducing the time lost during the transportation of materials。

However apart from this,the standard gauge used for general traffic on the Continent would still adopt the 1435-millimeter standard,1435 was already sufficient for most needs,while also significantly reducing the engineering difficulty of cutting through mountains、boring tunnels、and erecting bridges in complex terrain。

The Transportation Expo in Sivius State was only a minor interlude,in order to reduce to the greatest extent the dissatisfaction that Alliance intervention in territorial allocation might provoke among the representatives of the various races and ethnic groups,the military also held a Military Equipment Exhibition。

At the exhibition Saint Dragon-class Multiple Rocket Launchers,all kinds of Heavy Mecha,Tanks and Fighter Aircraft were all brought out for everyone to look at and cool their tempers,apart from these old friends that everyone had seen once or twice more or less,the Jet Fighter Aircraft that had never formally entered service with the troops also made an appearance at the exhibition,and a small test-flight demonstration was even held on-site at the base。

The moment everyone arrived at the airport runway they immediately exclaimed and gathered around the unveiled Fighter Aircraft,its design was completely different from existing Fighter Aircraft,its extremely minimalist appearance even made those who saw it wonder how exactly it was supposed to fly。

The reason for the astonishment of the crowds and representatives was the same,even they were seeing this thing for the first time,although around ten years had already passed since the First-generation Jet Fighter Aircraft was manufactured。

Dark-skinned Aisha in her girl form leisurely walked onto the runway beneath everyone’s astonished gazes,completely ignoring the bright and focused eyes of the crowd outside,and the representatives of the various races also experienced for the first time the Alliance’s internal boldness and openness。

The most cutting-edge technology and a woman of another race appearing within the same scene truly challenged the hearts of those old fossils somewhat。

But within the Alliance Aisha really did possess the best flight skills

There was no helping it,not everyone working in the high-risk profession of Test Pilot could crash an aircraft dozens of times without injury。

The overwhelming majority of the valuable data in the Alliance’s Aircraft Field had been produced through Aisha’s operations,her Half-God body could withstand all kinds of reckless experimentation,flying machines to the maximum limits they could endure。

This data would feed back into Flight Schools,every Pilot who graduated could know,setting aside theoretical data,exactly what the maximum load-bearing capacity of their aircraft was in reality,and beyond what value it would disintegrate and collapse,and all of this data had been crashed out by Aisha。
