Chapter 500 The Rebirth of the Rainforest

Amazon rainforest area.

As the largest tropical rainforest on earth, the cities and people here are very difficult.

On the one hand, due to the high temperature and rain all year round, the construction of infrastructure is very difficult, and the maintenance is even more troublesome.

On the other hand, the land here is very barren, otherwise the arable land of the Redwood Federation would not be concentrated on the Redwood Plateau.

The Marquez family once lived in a small town in the Amazon rainforest.

Before the year before last, he thought that life was just like that, and he had been dawdling in the small town.

until one day.

A force called Homo sapiens entered the Amazon rainforest, and the Marquez family became temporary employees of Homo sapiens in a daze.

At this time, he was building an overhead railway.

"Go back! In an hour, the cumulonimbus will reach us."

After all, there were too many repetitions of the previous city names.

Marquez's sister Julia, as an ecological investigator in the area, is currently driving a hovercraft with several colleagues to observe the vegetation restoration on the nearby river.

As for the roads on the ground, Nepenthes City, like other new cities in the Amazon rainforest, still has few ground roads to communicate with the outside world.

This kind of planning is actually a kind of adaptation to local conditions based on the local natural environment.

The damp wind blows Julia's hair, she sits on the edge of the hovercraft, overlooking the endless forest.

A very distinctive name, which is also commonly used in the naming of new cities in the Amazon rainforest, that is, to use local common or unique animals and plants as the name of the city.

Soon.

Nepenthes City is just one of them.

After drinking more than half of the sour plum juice, Li Xiong burped: "Hi... not all of them are nature reserves. Those areas that have been developed need to be readjusted and planned."

Julia and her team returned to their office building in a shared car.

He didn't rush, he tidied up the work area in an orderly manner, and then was taken to the location of the temporary elevator, and took the elevator up to the rest cabin of the construction airship.

The distance of 50 meters passed by in a flash.

Li Xiong also understands the feelings of the locals like Marquez. After all, the living environment in the Amazon rainforest is indeed too harsh. Even if Homo sapiens has various technologies, it still encounters a lot of trouble here.

There is often a gap of about 50 meters between the entire city and the ground.

The pilot in the cockpit replied immediately: "Got it."

It is to use part of the technology of building overhead railways, directly use hollow pipes as foundation columns, and build cities similar to stilt houses.

The entire Nepenthes City is not a whole, but is divided into five districts, with an interval of about 500 meters between each district.

Airships and airplanes can land directly on the domed deck above the city, without the need for an additional airport.

The streets of this block are full of artificial cultivation institutions for various tropical plants. In fact, the entire XC area is a scientific research work area.

The pillar industries of Nepenthes City are tropical rainforest biological research, aquaculture, and auto parts.

There are currently dozens of such tall cities in the Amazon rainforest.

In case of being struck by lightning, even with an exoskeleton and a giraffe, the body may not be able to hold it.

Li Xiong opened the refrigerator in the cabin: "What do you want to drink? Take it yourself."

A colleague frowned: "The recovery speed of the forest here has not met expectations!"

On the 50-meter-high ceiling above the block is a simulated sun, which is specially designed to reduce depression.

The former Amazon towns were largely abandoned. After all, the infrastructure of those old towns was so poor that they were often flooded.

Another local employee leaned against the window: "Head, didn't the company decide to set up a protected area in the Amazon rainforest? Why do we need to build an overhead railway?"

About 47 kilometers northwest of the construction airship, there is a new city - Nepenthes City.

The hovercraft stops below the XC area with a small dock below.

Marquez is wearing a working exoskeleton and is working with the construction airship to assemble various modules.

Captain Li Xiong counted the number of people, and then picked up the walkie-talkie: "Everyone is here, let's take off!"

Although the wind and thunderstorm resistance of large airships are quite good, it is really unnecessary to carry out construction against the storm.

Suddenly, a sound came from inside his helmet.

Building roads in the Amazon rainforest is really too bad, the cost is higher than building overhead railways, and the maintenance cost is also scary.

The entire XC area is divided into 4-story blocks, each of which is 50 meters high. Inside the block are streets and alleys and various buildings.

The hovercraft turned around and returned in the direction of Nepenthes City.

The elevator stopped firmly in the elevator station.

Nepenthes City is a small city with a population of 32.

After taking off the exoskeleton, Marquez took a bottle of sugar cane juice.

The construction airship released the temporary buckle between the column and the column, and then quickly pumped up the vacuum and climbed to a high altitude.

Marquez, who worked on the construction of the airship, and his family lived in this city.

[Please leave work immediately and return to the airship, the rainstorm will arrive in 20 minutes...]
Marquez turned his head and glanced to the southeast. A large black cumulonimbus cloud was rolling in.

As the hovercraft got closer and closer to Nepenthes City, the outline of the magnificent city became more and more clearly visible. Julia and the others were no longer surprised by this magnificent city.

The climate simulation system of the first floor block sets the subtropical climate here, which is also one of the more common simulated climates.

The areas of daily life are in Midtown, DC and South City, and the production area is in North City.

The locals didn't care too much, and most of them happily went to settle in the new city.

"What the hell is there to build in this place?" Marquez has lived in the Amazon rainforest for more than 20 years, and he doesn't like it at all.

"All right!"

"This kind of ecological restoration work is too difficult."

Cumulonimbus clouds in the distance are also close to the city.

Julia put down the binoculars: "It may be related to the pollution from the previous lead-zinc mining here."

But this does not affect the inside of the city, because the Nepenthes City has a dome, and the entire urban area is wrapped under the dome.

"Tropical rainforest is troublesome, it rains every day." Marquez complained.

Walking out of the elevator station, Julia came to the first floor of the XC district.

A huge construction airship is parked on the hollow pipe that has been pierced deep into the ground, and the airship is temporarily docked on the column.

At this time, it had started to rain heavily outside.

The new cities Homo sapiens invested in here all adopted special designs.

A large elevator descends to the river, and the driver drives the hovercraft into the elevator. After the buckle device inside the elevator locks the hovercraft, it starts to lift upwards.

As for the transportation in this city, apart from a part of the overhead railway that has been opened to traffic, the other two transportation methods are airships and airplanes.

At the time when the economy of the Redwood Federation was relatively good, many roads were built in the Amazon rainforest. Now those roads have become potholes, and even the roads have disappeared in some places.

The Homo sapiens company learned the experience and lessons of the Redwood Federation, gave up the idea of ​​​​building ground roads, and went directly to overhead railways and airships.

Therefore, if you want to enter the Amazon rainforest now, you can only cross the uninhabited virgin rainforest without going through the overhead railway and airline controlled by Homo sapiens, and the danger will rise sharply.
