Chapter 46 Natural Disasters

In the working area of ​​the new Kazdale Village and Township, the cold winter did not stop the rolling flow of people and vehicles. The traffic flow came with modules that were easy to assemble to build a new city. No one will help them do OEM for the mobile city block now. made.

Casimir's industrial strength is not enough, and Victoria refuses to manufacture, and Dayan and Ursas have no roads to transport out of the mobile city block in winter, let alone, they will not OEM for New Kazdale.Rum Billiton and Columbia are willing to accept this order, but they also have many partners, and it is impossible to lose more customers for one customer.

Therefore, they either build this time-consuming and huge mobile platform by themselves, or build new urban areas and industrial areas with vehicles and mobile RVs. Neither the relocation speed nor industrial production can be compared with real mobile towns.

After all, this means that their industrial equipment can only be of a size that can be hoisted by manpower and loaded onto a truck. Otherwise, they will not be able to escape in time before the natural disaster strikes. Fortunately, Lao Xia has prepared a large number of anti-natural disaster equipment, which can greatly deflect natural disasters or induce small-scale natural disasters in advance.

This comes from Xiao Yang's scientific research results. It has to be said that the artificial volcano provided her with a large amount of research data. Construction of the giant tower named "Natural Disaster Beacon" is already underway. It is about 850 meters high, and its tip is divided into five parts. Fork, protruding towards the surrounding.

With the support of Originium Warlock and the wetware system, it will consume the energy of the natural disaster cloud that is close to the critical state to a great extent, release the natural disaster in a relatively easy-to-handle way, and transmit part of the energy to the underground energy storage station , to charge the large amount of Originium waste crystals installed inside.

Like a giant lightning rod, it can greatly weaken the scope of influence of natural disasters and the power of non-core areas, but it cannot completely eliminate natural disasters. It can only make the core areas relatively predictable in less deadly areas. Way to explode.

The main reason is that the energy level of the core area is too high, which will instantly burn the part used as the conductive antenna, and even the internal circuit of the entire giant tower will explode at the moment of contact, which can suppress the energy level of natural disasters in the low-pressure area and affect it to a certain extent. Enough of New Kazdel as a top-secret technology and a trump card.

On the edge of the city, you can see the terrifying ice storm pillars on the wasteland in the distance. It is a natural disaster that has been suppressed to a certain extent and detonated in advance. The residents in the area have been evacuated, but the crops and canals inside Just let it be destroyed.

The storm is nailed to the ground like a huge sword reaching to the sky. Snowflakes and hail are the sharp edges of this huge sword. Even at a distance of nearly 10 kilometers, even the armor of the Titan chariot can hear the snow and ice being scraped by. With harsh sounds, the tower heat furnace engine is running at full power, not only resisting the high-pressure airflow that almost blows the mobile warship up, but also providing heat for the interior.

Xiao Yang tightly held the staff with data detection function in his hand, surrounded by a large number of research equipment and data processing equipment she purchased, and there were two wetware servers alone.

This Titan chariot has removed its weapons and most of its combat configurations in order to stuff these devices in, so that the scholars of the "Natural Disaster Research Countermeasures Project" can observe this thing up close.

This is the first time that the people of Terra approached a natural disaster outbreak area at close range. It was the first time that they were no longer run over by the mighty force of nature, but bravely marched towards this unknown world. The scientific research vehicle and the The traffic flow running away from the natural disaster is in stark contrast.

After crossing the "low pressure zone", the escaping traffic is no longer visible, because those who have not escaped will turn into a lifelike ice sculpture at this moment and be torn apart by the airflow and hail like a meat grinder in a few seconds broken.

"Minus 179 degrees, well, it's minus 180 degrees now." The carbon dioxide is solidifying, turning into pale white paste-like particles, scraping across the surface of the armor like a blade.

"I can't move forward, just observe here!" The lamb observed the direction of the natural disaster through the multi-layer graphene protective layer. At this distance, the dark blue storm column like a cornflower moved slowly.

The earth was torn apart, and the elevated aqueduct that was finally repaired was no stronger than noodles, and was easily twisted and torn.And this is just the power of the "medium pressure zone" of natural disasters, which is the limit travel area of ​​the ancestor land ship Rhodes Island.

Further inside is the so-called "high pressure zone". The energy level of the Originium natural disaster cloud can directly burn all the Originium devices on the car in an instant, just like an electrical appliance within the killing range of a planetary EMP.

The material of synthetic jade cannot accommodate such high-flow and energy-level source stone particles to pass through. Even the insulation of the synthetic jade material made of pure source stone will be broken down instantly, changing from a semiconductor to a conductor, and then the source stone's Energy bursts around in the form of various spells, as if a warlock were out of control.

And the core area further inside is an area that cannot be observed by humans, and the energy level inside has reached a very terrifying level. If it is this kind of negative energy-absorbing natural disaster, the moment the Titan approaches, all the Terra in it will Even if a person is not shredded or frozen by the high-pressure air mass, he will die because all the energy of the origin stone particles in the body is drained.

Even before dying from oxidative respiration, it will spontaneously ignite instantly because of such a huge energy flowing through the nerves and cells. .

However, as long as you are not so unlucky that you are really swept into the core area with a diameter of less than 200 meters, a high-standard bunker can still protect some people. If it is only a low-pressure area, then ordinary mobile cities will be severely damaged , However, it can also ensure that the people who enter the bunkers and shelters will not be wiped out.

However, without being able to get into close quarters of the Scourge, how did the Terrans try to understand it and control it?This requires not only wisdom and courage, but also sacrifice and luck. In fact, the boundary of the medium-pressure zone where the Lamb is now is already the limit, and no one has ever entered it before.

"Measurement reading!"

"2277"

"How much is the error from the theoretical value?"

"13%, still rising, within the error tolerance range of the empirical model, but it will be exceeded in at most one minute, if it continues to increase."

"The temperature sensor outside the car has failed, and the last reading was minus 194 degrees!" Outside it began to rain or a large amount of condensation began to appear. This is liquid nitrogen condensed in a high-pressure and ultra-low temperature environment. A little bit of beautiful light blue is mixed in, which is oxygen and hydrogen.

The sealing system inside the car has reached its limit, and everyone is wearing thick extreme environment protection suits, helmets and masks, and all kinds of scientific research equipment inside are gradually failing.

"We can't hold on anymore, we can't go if we don't go!"

"Evacuate!" Lamb didn't insist on collecting all the data, and ordered to evacuate. The Titan chariot started to back up at a very slow speed, because if it was too fast, the tonnage and counterweight could no longer be held down, and it would be directly pulled into it by the storm vortex. .

However, an accident still occurred. After leaving the area closest to the high-pressure area, the vehicle suddenly made a strange noise, skidded and hit the outside of a destroyed canal, "What happened!?"

"The power furnace is damaged!" The reason why wet parts are not widely used in the Covenant is because as a biological tissue, it is too easily destroyed by extreme environments.

"We have spare parts, but we need to go out to replace them!" There was a sudden silence in the vehicle, leaving the car in this area means death, and the victim must be replaced within 10 minutes, otherwise not only will he die, but the spare parts will also die. Will be destroyed by cold temperatures and storms.

Even if you are unlucky, the spare parts will be destroyed the moment you go out.

"I'll go." The deputy captain took out a spare part protected by a high-pressure insulator from the locker without hesitation.

"Wait, let me go!"

"I'm going, my order is to bring you all back." The deputy commander is a strong Ursus, and there are no scholars here to stop him, so he can only watch him walk into the ventilation room.The moment the tailgate was opened, a layer of frost and snow filled the ventilating pressurized cabin, "Temperature!"

"The temperature sensor is still not restored, unable to measure"

"It's so cold!" The built-in heating tubes and capillary tubes are already doing their best to maintain body temperature, but it still feels like I'm standing naked in the snow, and the heat is passing away quickly.

This is not only due to the temperature, but also because the energy level of the origin stone particles in the cell is decreasing. In other words, his metabolism is slowing down, and the heat in the cell is invisible, just like the activity of mitochondria is decreasing.

Although the organelles that metabolize the origin stone to carry out oxidation are still working normally, but the energy level of the origin stone particle itself has dropped, and while feeling cold, it is also feeling suffocated.

The deputy captain hugged the spare parts tank, and then pulled away a hidden safety cable on the shoulder, and then the high-pressure oxygen tank began to supply oxygen, and it was dyed with a layer of light gold. It was the fully charged origin stone powder, which could make the A person's normal activities in this environment, however, also means actively embracing ore disease with open arms.

After inhaling the high-density source stone mixed gas for the first time, the terrible pain made the Ursus man tremble. The blood seemed to be cutting the blood vessels with small knives. He felt his limbs become dull. Not only the cold, but also the dendrites growing at a speed visible to the naked eye in the bones and muscles.

"Phew!" It took him almost seven or eight minutes to move over the short distance of a few meters. He opened the heat sink of the power furnace, grabbed the scorching heat and quickly cooled the cracked tower heat pipe, and pulled it out before it burst. Within seconds, he stuffed the spare parts in his arms, pulled out the protective cover, and closed the hatch.

"Okay, restart the power furnace!" The remaining time is not enough to go back to the rear of the car, and it is meaningless even if you go back, a large dose of origin stone is inhaled, and then it is quickly drained and metabolized, and the origin stone crystals have covered the entire body. skeleton.

"Is this the last feeling of an infected person?" As a non-infected person, it was the first time he felt the pain and despair of an infected person at the end of life, "Reverse!" The last bit of vitality turned into a signal flame in his hand.

"Woo!" The vehicle slammed backwards, directly smashing the deputy commander who had become a statue wrapped in a protective suit. He quickly left the medium-high voltage area and entered the relatively safe low-voltage area before starting to overhaul the rest of the vehicle. place.

There was silence in the car, and everyone was doing their own things silently. When they set off, they already knew that this would not be an easy journey, but they didn't expect that there would be no problems when they entered. On the return journey, if the collected data cannot be saved in time, then a life will be wasted in vain.

Two days later, "one person died...very lucky" the doctor looked at the report in silence. Fortunately, yes, he had long been mentally prepared that everyone except the lamb would die inside. , and even prepared for the entire army to be wiped out. After the storm weakened, the rescue team was ready to go in to rescue the data.

"It's just a human life in exchange for close-range data on natural disasters. It's a very successful operation, and it's very cost-effective."

"Don't you have a heart! That's a living life, and it's your subordinate!" The lamb in front of him finally couldn't help it, and slapped the table with his blushing face.

She is not angry at the sacrifice in action, she knows that the significance of these data cannot be measured by a single life, but she cannot tolerate the doctor's understatement, and even thinks it is "cost-effective".

No matter how gentle and easy-talking Eyjafala is, she can't help but get angry in the face of this attitude, but her anger can't move the doctor at all.

"No, you are also a researcher. You should know that data has no heart. It is meaningless to dwell on sacrifices and casualties."

"You!" Lamb walked away, leaving only the doctor in the office to continue looking at the report and research materials.

"Life..." The doctor showed a wry smile. This is just the aftermath of a real disaster, just a sliver of strength from the pendulum pulled up in the past, and it's just a life, and Terra is ruthless here. How many lives were paid for a way out in the universe?

After seeing too many sacrifices or losses in units of tens of thousands, in the eyes of the doctor, a life is no more than an insignificant number, which does not depend on his personal emotions and moral concepts, even if he knows it is wrong. Difficult to change.

Therefore, the operators in Rhodes Island respect and fear the doctor. The respect is because he is a true tactician, a learned scholar, and a pioneer in ore disease research, and the fear is because he always shows a kind of indifference and numbness. ——I have seen the indifference of hundreds of millions of people being wiped out by the sliver of anger leaked by the sun, and the numbness of building an ark construction site with bones.

However, the doctor is not ready to change, because in a civilization, there must be a character who has given up the morality and emotion of being a human being, and will always look at the universe with ruthless eyes, because survival and living have always required life to do its best. Not for granted.

During the half month that the extreme cold disaster lasted, the doctor sent 16 teams one after another, 11 of which came back with different personnel losses. Blown tens of kilometers away by the strong wind.

And the remaining five teams, together with the researchers and students who collected data and the most elite armored soldiers selected by the entire Guards, were alive and dead.

In the search and rescue after the storm stopped, only three lucky wrecks were found, one was twisted into a twist, and everyone was integrated into one, and the other was airtight due to air pressure problems, causing everyone to become a pile of beings. Clothes wrapped in fine crystal powder, the last one was the luckiest, stuck behind a rock, but all the people inside were dead.

However, the data they collected gave Xiao Yang the opportunity to perfect and improve her giant tower of "Scary Beacon", which was the first time the people of Terra obtained close-range data and information on natural disasters, and it was also the most valuable knowledge.

Perhaps decades later, the people of Terra will be accustomed to the giant towers that protect them from being taken away by natural disasters, but they will not remember the names of those who died in the wilderness or anywhere else in the study of natural disasters, especially those who have just finished their studies. Research students who bite the bullet and participate in research.

As for the members of the armored forces who died protecting them, traces can only be found in the military monuments and cemeteries. In the wilderness, the array of magnificent towers that formed the city wall for human beings to resist natural disasters.

"That's it." The doctor shook his head, pulled out the list of victims and the action briefing separately, put them in a somewhat yellowed folder, and put it back on the bookshelf. The name of the folder was "Tomorrow's Ark Project: Cornerstone"

At the end of the folder was a blank form with nothing written on it except the doctor's own handprint at the end.

No one cares about what happened in the wilderness, just like no one cares about the ending of those who walk against the natural disasters. They are used to fleeing in all directions under the natural disasters, and they don't care about these things that are too far away and dazzling.

Neither the nations of Terra nor the groups realized what the new Kazdel's approach meant, what was the significance, just as no one understood the significance of the research of Eyjafala's parents.

Their eyes are all focused on Kazdel's preparations, as well as the stock market that is about to collapse, but has been slightly pulled by Lunar Light and Shadow Industry. Natural disasters have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. Since ancient times, they have been crushed It is a matter of course to have to run away with your head in your arms.

Any design or invention that claims to be able to suppress and resist natural disasters has been proven to be a scam or a meaningless lie. The people of Terra have been completely numb and will no longer believe it, nor will they invest resources in this bottomless pit .

Chapter 47 Air Force

In addition to the huge damage caused by the raging natural disasters, there are also a large number of source stones that have been charged due to the negative energy state effect mixed with hail and smashed on the ground, leaving clusters of source stone bare mines. This is considered one of the natural disasters The only advantage is that after simple refining and collection, these source stone bare ores can be processed into high-quality synthetic jade and other source stone products.

The natural disaster tornado left a wide scar on the desert, and all crops and agricultural infrastructure were destroyed. Fortunately, it is the beginning of winter, and it is not difficult to organize manpower to repair it.

"The damage statistics came out. We lost about 6000 hectares of land and [-] irrigation canals, and the loss of the branch water network was countless. Except for the scientific research personnel, the residents were evacuated and resettled well because they were notified by the natural disaster messenger in advance, and there were no casualties. "

"How's the soil?"

"Miss Mudstone and others have checked that the source stone particles exceed the standard, and need to be reprocessed and degraded. Otherwise, the crops will most likely not meet the food safety standards set by Boss Xia." The form of solution exists in the fruit and leaves.

The crops on the earth cannot metabolize origin stones, which means that their concentration will gradually increase. Originally, Xia Lin thought that plants did not absorb origin stone components. However, it was later discovered that it was at a certain concentration. Once the concentration of origin stones exceeded the standard, plant roots would They will be mistakenly taken as inorganic salts and actively absorbed.

Of course, it cannot be metabolized if it is absorbed, and it will be distributed in the plant along the fiber tubes. Therefore, to ensure the food safety of crops and not cause ore disease to worsen, then it is necessary to ensure that the concentration of source stones in the soil is below the safe value.

And Terra's plants may not absorb source stones for some reason, but they have evolved a filter that prevents source stone particles from entering the root system, and will form a relatively high concentration of source rock soil particles in the roots.

However, Xia Lin's earth crops do not have such an organ. The origin stone particles will enter the root system together with other water-soluble substances, and then they will be enriched because they are not metabolized at all and have no effect. Getting worse, for the Terrans, is no different from eating chronic poison.

"A big project" is almost equivalent to re-turning the mellow soil. This is a job that requires a lot of manpower and material resources. However, it has to be done because the next year's spring plowing has to be prepared. It's also a big deal.

"In addition, Rim Billiton has plans to terminate the partnership with us. The main reason is..." Kazdel and Ursas' source stone mines are the main export products of Rum Billiton. One, heavy industrial equipment and ore, and ore is the big one among the big ones. Like Australia on Earth, it is a country on a mine cart.

Now that Xia Lin is issuing Origin Stone coins, Rem Billiton was willing to accept this currency at first, and even planned to imitate this method to issue its own international currency.

However, they soon realized that something was wrong. Xia Rin's issuance was too large, which meant that if he hadn't been hyperinflationary, he would have such a huge reserve of source stones on hand, and if he wasn't afraid of a run, he would It means that the center of international origin ore transactions is likely to shift to Kazdel due to the circulation of this currency.

There has never been friendship between countries, only real interests. Under such circumstances, facing the choice of either joining this system and being constrained by the other party, or turning around and completely breaking this monopoly system, RIM Billiton has begun to waver.

"It doesn't matter, they have to waver for a while" because these two paths have advantages and disadvantages for RIM Billiton, and they will not easily make a decision on this part of their basic national policy.

As long as it persists until the end of the Kazdel War, the New Republic of Kazdel, which has demonstrated strong military power, will obviously allow Rem Billiton, as a neighboring country, to maintain a calm and cooperative attitude.You know, Rem Billiton is just southeast of Kazdel. Once Kazdel blocks its foreign trade routes, it can turn it into a famine-ridden country of the dead within a month.

This is also the reason why REM Billiton intends to terminate the cooperation, but has not made any substantive actions. They are afraid of being on the wrong team. Half of REM Billiton's industrial parts come from the industrial area of ​​South Kazdale, and almost [-]% Agricultural products and food supplies are sourced from the southern Sarkaz countryside.

The rest came from Iberia, and now Iberia was almost washed away by the tide, and the sea heirs who were thrown ashore are everywhere. They have cooperated with the Agor people and are still deeply involved in nationwide street fighting. In the quagmire of peace and security wars.

Not to mention supplying REM Billiton, not asking for international aid is already the result of the stubborn temper of the Iberians. There is also a shortage of food and equipment in the country. Only a few cities can maintain production, and half of the coastal land Turned into a state that is close to wasteland, there is no way to think about doing anything in the international society of Terra.

The doctor is in charge of Kazdel's military affairs. After all, Xia Lin really doesn't know much about it. Although he has also received paramilitary training and can use military equipment, he has no problem commanding even platoon-level units. His ability to command is beyond his ability.

Moreover, the war mode of the Star Alliance is a standard quality war mode, and the command skills and experience of its large army cannot be applied to Terra. Compared with tactics, they are more inclined to strategic planning. The enemy's strikes are more focused on the planning of own mass recovery and destroying the enemy's behavior of using friendly mass and recovering their own mass.

Compared with combat, it is more focused on the construction and operation and maintenance of a solid front and logistics system, because as long as there are no problems with these two, a conventional frontline base can rely on planetary resources to reinforce six-figure basic troops to the line of fire every month unit.

[Taking the man-hours and material cost of a spider combat drone as 1 unit, the consumption of other combat units is based on this as the base to calculate the weight]
