Natural Disaster Strikes: From Joining the Rescue Team

Chapter 988, Simulation Animation: Flood Release
Yue Feng's method of protecting the underground base's long-term electricity supply was to restart the ground-based hydroelectric power generation that had existed before the snowstorm. This was something Ye Lin had never expected.

As Shan continued to talk, she took the time to raise her glass and clinked it with Yue Feng's, and then listened to Shan's explanation with all her attention.

The projection now shows new design drawings. More than one of them appears in rotation, and then quietly leaves as the mountain is explained, making room for the arrival of the next design drawing.

The first drawing is a dynamic picture of the principle of hydroelectric power generation. Shan starts the demonstration from the most basic point like a teacher giving a lecture.

The sound of rushing water was the background sound of his speech.

Shan: "This is the whole process of hydroelectric power generation. A stream of water falls from a high place to a low place. It is not a waterfall or a slow flow, but the difference in water level contains rich potential energy. The turbine rotates and drives another mechanical generator. From then on, as long as the water flows and the machine is not damaged, electricity will be continuously generated."

Johnny protested: "I'm the Doctor."

Liang: “Asshole.”

Shan said mischievously: "I am not, and neither is the girl."

Johnny: "But the girl is a top student, she must know this principle, are you showing off your skills in front of a girl?"

Shan: "For people who like to find fault, like you, the great fake, if I don't explain this most basic principle, the whole theory will become incomplete, and you may forget this principle. Who can explain it well? In the end, when I finish, I can only listen to your endless criticism."

Adam: "The Doctor loves to hear it."

Yue Feng: “The doctor loves to hear it.”

Liang: "Today I stand with the doctor."

Ye Lin smiled: "Don't interrupt, Johnny. Yue and I still have to collect supplies in the afternoon. Let's keep our lunch brief and we can discuss it in the evening."

Johnny: "Okay, give the girl some face, not the doctor's interpreter customer service, you continue."

Shan glared at him and raised his voice: "Dear gentlemen and girls, let me explain our company's underground power generation technology to you. Please remember to give me a five-star rating."

Liang: "Oh my god, please spare my ears, they can't tell whether you are male or female for now."

Shan snorted, "How much can you expect from the customer service?"

His voice returned to normal: "This is how hydroelectric power is generated. There needs to be a certain difference in high and low potential energy, and there also needs to be water."

Adam: "In that case, the underground river is quite suitable. When they are idle, they go up, then down, then go up again, but down again."

The schematic diagram in the projection disappears and a new animation appears.

This is presented in the form of an animation, so there is no shadow environment of the underground river. If it were a real scene, not only would the person taking the photo be at risk of deep holes and slippery roads, but he might also not be able to see the panoramic view clearly.

The animation can be marked for easy viewing.

The brown area has high floors, low floors, and some are under the water. These are mud.

It is not difficult to see that the dark white and hard material in the middle is stone.

The clear water flow and water layers are light blue, and there are some free fish in it, which can be seen at a glance.

The water from the underground river gushes out to the ground, quietly merging into the streams, lakes and deep pools in the forest. They rush in, and then rush back to the new underground river through another underwater passage, never stopping towards the distance.

Shan: "This is a form of underground river. Half of its path is underground where we can't see it, and half is above ground."

The animation changes, and there are some underground rivers flowing deep in the ground, some are turbulent, some are calm, and they are making circles over and over again in underground passages invisible to humans.

This circulation path may be large or small, or a relatively regular circle, or not regular at all, winding east and west and forming a tangled network of branches and twigs, but it is always connected from beginning to end, and the subsequent water flows continuously, pushing the water in front forward.

Shan added: "The water of the underground river can be replenished from several other places. Rainwater that seeps down from the ground is also one of them. The underground rivers that do not pass through the ground can also be replenished from the underground river water sources that pass through the surface rivers from the side roads. In short, we can see that there must be a height difference in the potential energy of the water flow in the underground river."

Johnny stopped nitpicking and discussed the matter seriously: "But to build a power plant, we need to expand some underground river roads until they meet the standards for building a power plant."

Shan: “I’m not finished yet.”

Johnny stood up and bowed: "Bad review, the performance was too full and blocked other people's space to perform."

Shan: "Thank you. I'll speak more slowly then. I'll take up all your space."

The animated drawing in the projection changed again. What could be seen now was that the ground was covered with ice and snow, and the underground rivers close to the surface were frozen into ice blocks, blending into the surrounding stone and soil.

Ye Lin chewed on a pig's trotter and asked: "Is this the actual situation we are facing now?"

Yue Feng: "Yes. As early as when Gu dug the underground city, we knew that there would be no water seepage underground, the ground would not collapse, and everything was frozen by ice and snow and was harder than steel. Our base obtained the underground data earlier than Gu, and the base has never given up the underground living space."

As he spoke, the animation in the projection changed again. This time it was a view from the sky. A group of people as small as ants were releasing the dome on the ground, making the wind and snow disappear from the air. Another group of people were also as small as black dots. They dug from the ground. Countless trucks brought in cast steel and built underground layer by layer.

One layer, two layers, three layers.
The direct effect of this scene was that Ye Lin was completely unaware of the deliciousness of the pig's trotters. The sweet feeling faded from the tip of her tongue like a tide, washing away a wave of it, sending her excitement point directly to the mind that dominated the spiritual world, causing her to burst into excited fireworks there.

Ye Lin: "Wow! Brother, you had such a big plan when you just built the base?"

Yue Feng asked back: "What pattern?"

Ye Lin pointed at the projection with her greasy fingers: "The dome doesn't cover too many places yet, but most people are working safely in the snow. This should be the ten days when the temperature was zero degrees. At that time, you built the ground base and the underground base as well."

She had heard the documents on the construction of the base, which contained a few sentences related to the major project of the underground base. However, the feeling of hearing it and the feeling of seeing the simulation animation with her own eyes were two different concepts. The atmosphere ignited by seeing it directly was more and faster, and it was more mind-blowing.

Ye Lin was so excited that she could hardly sit still. Her body was swaying, and the pig's trotter in her hand was shaking with it.

The light from the greasy fingers and pig's trotters reflected in front of Yue Feng.

There were small towels next to the dishes. Yue Feng took one out to wipe Ye Lin's hands, and said with some disdain: "What I want you to see is not my layout, but the first-hand data that I have long ago that the ground is not leaking and not collapsing."

Ye Lin stared at you intently: "But I only saw that you had a grand plan when you first built the base. Brother?"

She opened her eyes wide and asked, "I never told you there was an underground base. This is entirely your credit. Tell me how you came up with the idea at that time."

At this time, one of her hands was wiped clean by Yue Feng. Ye Lin swiftly handed over the pig's trotter in her other hand and stretched out her other oily hand to Yue Feng.

After the pig's trotter exchange was completed, Ye Lin came to her senses and looked at her greasy hands with a grin: "It was a waste of time. You can help me after I finish eating."

Holding the pig's trotter in both hands, she stared at Yue Feng and waited for his answer.

Yue Feng: "Actually, the reason I show you this animation is mainly to show the shortcomings of the design at that time."

Ye Lin quickly retorted: "Refuse to go off topic. Please tell me about your big picture at that time."

Yue Feng: "Let's not go off topic. We are now discussing the unfinished topic of breakfast, which is how to solve the safety problem of the wind turbine air intake duct in the underground base."

Ye Lin stared at the projection for a few seconds and said with a smile: "I saw that your underground base has been built to 19 floors. That number should be the number of floors. So what you want to say is that if you want to complete the underground river hydroelectric power generation, you must dig very deep, right?"

Yue Feng smiled: "That number is the number of floors. In addition, thank you for correctly accepting Shan's intention. Yes, if the supply point wants to obtain hydroelectric power, according to Shan's introduction, the water level must have a potential energy drop, so it must be dug very deep. However, all the external supply points of our base have only five floors, and there are restrictions on the number of floors and height. So let us insert a question here, girl, please answer why there is such a restriction?"

Ye Lin: "Ha, it's not a good coach to use your brain when people are full, but I forgive you because your question is very simple. Coach, your supply point has only five floors in total. The first floor is a dome that supports the increasingly heavy snow on the ground. This is the load-bearing layer and the entrance. The second floor can be completely closed, which plays a role in warmth and defense resistance, and it is also an airport. The third floor is the residential area, the fourth floor is the warehouse and the future commercial area, and the fifth floor is the general control area, which is also indispensable. Although there is no breeding or planting area here, it will be excavated very large in the future, and the production area will naturally emerge. In my opinion, the above five floors cannot be missing any one layer, but these five layers are enough to use. Since they are enough, there was no inspiration for hydropower generation when the supply point was first built, so of course you hope to dig around instead of creating depth, so that there will be a production area, and you can save people and get more materials underground."

She smiled and said, "Even if we are rescuing the survivors who are the best at digging, the depth of five floors is more than enough."

He took a bite of the pig's trotter and gave himself a vague score: "Correct answer, plus 10,000 points."

Yue Feng held his chin in thought: "Pig trotters can actually nourish the brain?"

Ye Lin burst into laughter: "Please speak human language."

Yue Feng: "If the answer is correct, you will get 10,000 points."

Ye Lin: "Hehe."

He turned to Adam who was sitting on the other side and said, "But speaking of which, today's pig's trotters are really delicious. Coach Adam, cook more when you have nothing to do."

Adam: "Got it, girl. I have to cook more for the president's brain. The president's advice to nourish the brain is really good advice. Thinking of using practical actions to compliment him for future bonuses, I have to listen carefully." Yue Feng was also happy.

“Yue.”

Shan's eyes were still on the animation when he called him: "You see, when we designed the base, we never thought that the underground river could be used for a lot of purposes. It's such a waste of such a deep foundation."

Yue Feng said: "Yes,"

He also fixed his eyes on the animation: "But fortunately we have the girl. We finally remembered that the underground river is still useful. It's not too late to make up for it now."

Ye Lin shouted happily, "Isn't this off-topic? I agree that you can talk about things like praising me at another time, but don't keep us in suspense about things that are not off-topic. Come on."

Adam: "The reason I support the girl is not because I don't want to praise her, but if the president didn't hear it, please eat two more pig's trotters to replenish your brain."

Liang: "Support the girl. If the president didn't hear you, please eat two more pig's trotters to replenish your brain."

Johnny: "Support the girl. If the president didn't hear you, please eat two more pig's trotters to replenish your brain."

Shan: "Well, I was standing in a row with the president and your words cut off my right to answer. I won't follow your trend. I'd better chew more pig's trotters to replenish my tongue."

He took half a pig's trotter and put it in the bowl.

Yue Feng laughed: "How strange, pig's trotters can actually nourish the tongue?"

Shan: "This is all your fault. They all want you to answer, but I'm the one who worked so hard to play the animation. Fine, I'll eat the pig's trotters and won't argue with you."

Johnny grinned, "Yo, customer service is offline? I appreciate your efforts."

Shan: "You should also eat some pig's trotters, bastard."

Yue Feng: "Don't log off yet. Please ask the customer service who worked so hard to eat pig's trotters to work hard again and play the full animation so that the girl can watch it happily."

Ye Lin's eyes lit up: "I agree."

She looked left with a smile on her face, smiling at Yue Feng, then looked right, watching Johnny and Shan bickering. Her eyes were unusually bright and beautiful.

Yue Feng sighed: "It's really strange, today's pig's trotters can also repair the eyes, the sudden light scared me."

Ye Lin said to him in a ridiculous tone: "You can still punch me. If you keep saying that, I'll hit you!"

Yue Feng smiled and said, "Please look at the right point of your attention. The cartoon is about to begin."

The base under construction in the projection had an even wider angle of view than before, with wind and snow, construction workers, trucks, and flying domes. Everything was moving.

A line of big words appeared: One year later.

The perspective starts to narrow.

The dome flying in the sky blocked the wind and snow, allowing vehicles on the ground to move freely. Some of them were large trucks carrying construction materials, and some were heavy excavators, driving to the areas newly covered by the dome.

This place is not the edge of the dome, but it is also far away from the living area. The wind and snow are not very strong, so the excavator started working here without any impact, digging from the bottom of the peak of snow on the ground.

The newly arranged domes continue to add new construction areas around the base. These areas are lost lands that have just been recaptured from severe snowstorms. The thick snowstorms have piled up new ground over the year. Compared with the ground in the base's living area, the altitude is several thousand meters or miles higher.

After digging out some snow holes, the operators in protective clothing jumped out of the car and stuffed some things into the snow holes. They retreated to a distance and took out something like a controller and pressed it. After a loud bang, the snow blocks collapsed and a piece of the snow peak ground collapsed. The excavator went forward again to clear the snow, and then repeated blasting and cleaning until a new ground appeared under the newly installed dome, which was flush with the ground in the residential area.

New workers and construction materials arrived. They built houses on the ground and constructed bases underground. Then people moved in, students went to and from school, and factories began construction.

The dome above was still expanding, and the excavator workers were carrying explosives to clear the snow in new areas.

At this time, the wind and snow stopped.

The bright golden sunlight penetrated through, causing the snowy peaks surrounding the base to begin to melt.

At first, it was just a trickle of water that merged into a cheerful stream flowing down from the snow-capped mountains, and then the stream grew bigger and bigger, with broken ice blocks rolling down, large ice blocks rolling down, and half of the snow peak collapsed. A large amount of "snow" blocks rushed towards the base at the foot of the mountain, making a thunderous roar all the way.

By the time they rushed to the edge of the base, they had turned into an overwhelming ocean of icy water.

Sharp warnings sounded throughout the base, and people living in every area walked out of their homes and work places and retreated in an orderly manner.

No one drove away or flew them away.

When the ice and snow melt one day, there will be ice water everywhere. The planet will be a world where snow piled up by the wind quickly turns into sea, and there will be almost no dry place.

There were people maintaining order on the ground. People in the queue opened the downward passages from different communities and entered the huge elevator, and large groups of people moved underground.

As the icy water roared towards them from the ground, the people in the elevator began to allocate houses underground and settled the families one by one.

Someone started to cook on a large stove, which should be a place like a canteen.

The icy water finally rushed over, showing the extremely strong and rigid properties of the water, which should have been soft and calm. Wherever it went, houses collapsed, factories were damaged, and machinery that could not be taken away floated on the water.

They occupied the entire base, completely submerging this place that provided shelter for humans in the wind and snow.

Looking at the surface of the planet, the future water world has officially appeared.

Water roams in this new world with its true power.

It is heavy.

There is no doubt that the weight of a large area of ​​water cannot be underestimated.

Then, “Swoosh!”

The sound was earth-shaking, as if something was forcibly blown up. Some parts of the ground were severely damaged by the pressure of the water, and the ground was shattered into nothing, revealing downward passages.

These places are hollow underneath, so they can no longer bear the weight of water. Some bombs appeared in the water, and it is not ruled out that humans underground also used targeted blasting.

The water just flowed into the underground.

Without a doubt, they flowed along the passage to an unknown place underground.

On all sides of the passage, in places with traces of artificial buildings, the base residents who were evacuated underground are working, studying, and continuing their normal lives on the ground.

The water leaked day after day, month after month, and finally one day, golden sunlight shone into the passage and the ground was safe.

Shouts of victory rang out, and people rushed into the elevators to return to the ground to rebuild their homes.

Ye Lin was stunned, and the pig's trotter in her hand lost its flavor again.

Yue Feng's voice rang out: "This is my original intention to build an underground base. When the snowstorm came out on the first day, not only did I propose it, but 147 countries also arranged their own professionals to measure the 24-hour snowfall. The result was amazing. If the snowstorm continues as the respected Miss Forecast said, then whether we defeat the snowstorm or it disappears on its own in the future, the humans on this planet will not be able to live on the ground for the time being. The strong amount of snowmelt will turn our planet into an ocean. The final decision of the board of directors was to trust the respected Miss Forecast and me, insist on building a ground base, and strive to complete the ground dome even if it is completely impossible, and also build an underground base. There are only two key points for the underground base. One is to have a solid flood discharge channel. Even if it floods three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, the channel can still be used. The second is to provide an underground area for all survivors on this planet to live in."

He looked at Ye Lin with a smile on his face: "Originally we thought that these two points would be enough. At that time, we only considered producing more reserve electricity, enough for three generations to use in case of flood discharge. But we have you, and we have discovered the underground city of the intelligent brain. Shan and I have thought of the role of underground rivers. So, the overall underground base will be reorganized and the on-site construction will be revised. We can now artificially create some underground rivers around the underground base. The more underground rivers there are, the safer humans will be when the flood is discharged, and there will be endless hydropower at that time."

He looked up and around: "Just like now, we have endless electricity."

The silvery-white environment is always extremely bright. This is because there is wind and snow outside, which is considered severe by everyone. The wind and snow have destroyed human civilization on this planet, but at the same time they have also brought endless electricity and water to those who can overcome the hazards of wind and snow.

These two things added together provide hot water, which is sufficient energy.

Thank you Huahua dear for the red sleeve ticket 2, okay.

Thank you 1592 Dear Red Sleeve Ticket 1, okay.

Good luck in November.

See you tomorrow.
