The last human in the universe

Chapter 42 Delivery
Over the past few years, the human city has become a paradise-like place that everyone yearns for.

At this moment, at the human city construction site, the huge construction task has officially begun.

According to the plan, the human city was also built underground, with a length of a little over two kilometers and a width of one kilometer.In order to reach a sufficient height, the engineers originally had to dig a 40-meter-deep pit on the ground of Star Sedna.

Calculated in this way, there will be 8000 million cubic meters of earthwork, with a total mass of more than 8000 million tons.Assuming that a heavy-duty train can transport 20 tons of earthwork in one trip, and can transport [-] trips a day, it will take almost two years for such a large amount of earthwork to be transported.

Of course, there is no need to spend so much time in actual operation.Because the location of Human City was chosen on the surface of Sedna, a place lower than the average height of the surrounding areas, that is, in a big pit.This greatly saves the earthwork workload.Specific to the first phase of the project, the amount of earthwork is even less.

After the official start of construction, people first started the foundation work.After leveling the land and laying various underground pipes and cables, the first floor was laid, followed by the second floor, and the third floor...

The building materials from the industrial area were continuously transported here by train. Under the hard work of hundreds of construction workers, they were combined into different shapes and integrated into the overall building of Human City.A tall and straight support column that doubles as a lighting pole, a monitor pole, a line pole, etc. rises from the ground, directly connecting the "sky" from the ground, and a piece of simulation screen that can be seamlessly connected is installed on the support column above.

They can simulate different sky scenes in different time periods according to people's instructions.

In September of the 117th year of the new calendar, that is, more than two years after the construction of Renmin City began, the outer frame of the first phase of Renren City, a large box with a length of 9 kilometer, a width of more than 1 meters, and a clear height of 500 meters, was announced to be completed.

Various basic life support facilities have also been installed.After a series of procedures such as debugging and testing, the people working here can finally take off their spacesuits and go directly to the next step of work.

The next step is much more complicated.After all, it is a job similar to interior decoration. Compared with the external frame, it is much more delicate and more energy-intensive.However, with the support of sufficient resources, these things are still proceeding in an orderly manner and steadily.

Under the eager and expectant eyes of people from the outside world, houses in the Human City No. [-] project have sprung up one after another. The spacious and straight streets have begun to take shape, and the greening work has begun to show results. It began to add a little vitality to the city under construction, and the creek promised in the original promotional video also appeared-it flowed from one side, crossed the entire city, and merged into the forest promised in the planning Among the green spaces, while adding to the urban landscape, it also undertakes the task of irrigating the green spaces.

When Human City No. 120 project was announced to be completed, it was already March 3 of the new calendar.The entire construction period lasted five years.

These five years are also a comprehensive test of the industrial capabilities of the entire human civilization.During this process, I don’t know how many times people suddenly discovered that a certain engineering capability could not meet the requirements of building a city, so they had to urgently start research and development to make up for this shortcoming in the shortest time.Many omissions that were not discovered because of insufficient demand in the past have also been made up for in this process.

This single short board, or an omission may be very small and completely inconspicuous.But the gathering of thousands and tens of thousands of them and all of them being resolved will directly raise the industrial capabilities of human civilization to a higher level.From this point of view, even if the human city does not have the effect of inspiring people's enthusiasm for work, it is worth building it.

After the first phase of the human city project passed the acceptance, the house handover ceremony hosted by Zhao Changxing was officially held.

After going through layers of selection, the people who finally obtained the occupancy qualification took the fully enclosed passenger train from the No. [-] comprehensive base to the No. [-] station of Human City. After walking out of the station, what appeared in front of them was a shocking scene. .

Spacious streets, tall houses, green vegetation everywhere, meandering streams, especially the sky that is simulating the scene of the rising sun in the morning...

Everything is showing a completely different atmosphere from the narrow and cramped No. [-] base.Although I have seen countless times the appearance of the cities where human beings lived in the Earth Age in film and television dramas, but when I was really there at this moment, the sense of livability still shocked people's hearts instantly.

This makes people feel "not inside the building, but outside the building" for the first time.Moreover, there is no need to wear any life-support facilities, and you don't need to wear a space suit to be in the wild.

Sima Fangfang and Xuanyuan Lizhen's hand held tighter and tighter.Even Sima Fang could clearly feel that Xuanyuan Li's body was really trembling slightly.He hugged his lover gently, and saw that his lover's eyes were already red, and tears were flowing out uncontrollably.

He knew clearly that neither he nor Ah Zhen could go back.Even if they haven't lived in the human city for a day, neither of them can return to live in the No. [-] comprehensive base.

"Afang, Afang, this is our home, our home..."

Xuanyuan Li really hugged Sima Fang tightly, weeping uncontrollably.

Among the people around me, some were yelling with forgetfulness, some were embracing and crying, some were dumbfounded, their expressions were shocked, some were running and jumping crazily, with a jump of several meters high... …

Never worry about being hit by the ceiling when you jump up.

Facing the people who were almost insane, Zhao Changxing smiled slightly.

"It's only here and there now, but it's only the first phase of the project... Even if the entire human city is completed, it's actually nothing, when it was on Earth..."

He shook his head with a smile, interrupting his memory.

During this period of time, the delivery of the first phase of the human city project became the talk of everyone in the entire civilization.The first batch of 300 families or individuals who moved in have all become celebrities, surrounded by a group of people no matter where they go.Even, Zhao Changxing's most frequently asked question during this period has become when the second phase of the project will start construction and how long it will take to complete.

Construction on Phase [-] will begin soon.This is just a step-by-step matter, and Zhao Changxing no longer needs to pay too much attention to it.At this moment, the matter that troubled Zhao Changxing and various government officials had become another one.

He had a hunch that this incident had become the biggest bottleneck hindering the development of human civilization at the current stage.
