My hero is myself

Over the past 100 years, the temperature of the entire world has been rising, and the rate is getting faster and faster.

The ocean will continue to shrink, water will evaporate into the void, and their living environment will become increasingly worse.

What's even more frightening is that through special frequency band observations, they discovered that behind the lonely sun, there seemed to be more new suns gestating.

Yes, the new sun.

The new sun will be smaller than the current sun and will be surrounded by an opaque shell-like structure.

Only the most advanced and sensitive radiation receiving devices can observe its existence.

Astronomers call it the "solar egg."

The sun in this world is not a star, it is not that huge, and its distance is not an astronomical unit.

The solar egg has not hatched yet and has released very little energy, but is undergoing a violent reaction internally.

The current climate change is just the original sun releasing energy to hatch solar eggs.

But hatching will eventually end. If more than a thousand suns appear at the same time, the energy released instantly will cause a terrifying chain reaction.

The earth melts and collapses, the ocean turns into plasma, and the air may produce uncontrollable explosions...

Eventually, this world will cease to exist and will be burned into nothingness.

What’s even more frightening is that this future won’t last long.

Comparing the structural differences between the sun and solar eggs, scientists predict that the first solar egg will hatch successfully within ten years.

In 30 years at the fastest and 100 years at the slowest, thousands of suns will be in the sky at the same time.

With the technology currently available in Watch City, even if there is a breakthrough in 30 years, it will be difficult to guarantee the survival of 200 million people in that environment.

When the tenth or more sun appears, the ocean will evaporate to an extremely thin level, and the dome of the observatory city will face the intense heat.

On the night after the verification of this astronomical model was completed, the genius physicist who led the observation project committed suicide.

His suicide note contained only one line:

The world no longer exists.

After the suicide incident, the city hall immediately controlled all members of the project team and strictly blocked information from the outside world.

Many researchers are in fear and despair, being devoured by the maliciousness of the world, losing the motivation to continue research, and must receive psychological counseling.

All the consuls voted together that the news that the world would not exist in 30 years could not be announced to the citizens of Watch City.

According to the simulation of eternal sin, although they are active, brave and determined, they still cannot bear such a future.

Life now has not returned to before the apocalypse, but there is always a hope in everyone's heart, that one day summer will end.

If it is confirmed that summer will not end and it does not become a disaster that exceeds the world's carrying capacity, more than half of the people will collapse.

Living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming has become the norm, and the one-hundred-millionth hope that humanity might have overcome the disaster will also be cut off.

Therefore, in order to maintain the order of R&D and production, Kamiya Kaya has one more lie to tell every day:

The rise in temperature has come down, and our technological development can outpace the rate at which the world is getting hotter.

While giving hope, we also increased investment in scientific research, and the main direction changed from fighting high temperatures to finding ways to leave this world.

It's just that for such a large-scale project, there are always smart people who will spot the change in the main direction.

Not directly damaging.

However, they chose to be passive and slow in work and call on more people to indulge in pleasure and pursue hobbies such as music, art, and literature.

Lookout City is not a capitalist company, it is not for profit, and it allows citizens to have holidays.

However, spreading negative emotions among people consumes less of the limited working time of the population...

Jingu Kaya must find a way to control this trend of thought.

So on the one hand, the official propaganda machine and the people who are loyal to their positions turn everyone's pursuit from material things to dreams.

On the one hand, we must limit dreams that are too floating, and we must not fall into too artistic pursuits and waste manpower and financial resources in spiritual emptiness.

Some spreaders of negative thoughts must be eradicated, and the organizations they establish should also be under the control of the city hall.

Give an outlet for venting, but don't let it sink and fall.

This is the line that Jingu Kaya is trying to control, but it also makes some governors think that they have betrayed their dreams.

"In order to survive, do you trample on human civilization?"

The consul chose to resign.

That time, it was a huge blow to those who knew the inside story, and the core members of the city hall almost lost their morale.

Fortunately, Kamiya Kaya is not an idealist, she has always been a careerist.

She wants the people to be used by her, she wants her own will to fight against heaven and earth, and she wants her territory to last forever.

Even if she uses lies and violence, she will let her city fall on the way forward.

"I have been a liar from the first day, and I will continue to cheat from now on."

"You can leave this manor and live a leisurely life, but don't tell the secret to cut off other people's hope of hard work."

"And I will persist until the moment the world burns up to see who is the hotter fire."

The young girl who has gradually lost her tenderness is still not tall, but she seems to be overlooking everyone present:

Do you want to be a consul without even daring to lie?

The eleven consuls all chose to stick to their posts until their juniors who had higher priority than themselves appeared.

Of course, Jingu Jiaye is more determined than these governors, and there is another reason:

In three months, Gao Tianyuan will open.

At that time, the real eternal sin will come back, and he will definitely come back.

With his help, I can fly a thousand suns into the sky, and I will blow up the sun for you to see!

Volume 213: First time entering Kyushu: Chapter [-]: Difficulty meeting each other

Gao Tianyuan, the most mysterious third floor of the Watch City, has only one-tenth of the normal space of the second floor.

But it is the core key for this city to be able to stand on the seabed and complete the refrigeration system cycle.

Allowing materials to heat up releases energy.

But for cooling, in reality it is difficult to find an object that can continuously absorb unlimited heat.

After all, the infinite water-cooling module of the ocean has been heated beyond the limit that humans can endure when taking a bath.

Things like air conditioners can lower the indoor temperature, but they also require a temperature difference in the external environment.

The heat that originally exists in the environment and the heat generated by the operation of the system needs a space that can be transferred.

If it is the hottest summer day and the temperature outside reaches above [-] degrees, the cooling function of most air conditioners will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the refrigeration in Lookout City is really not as simple as air conditioning.

This city can maintain a stable temperature and survive despite the destruction of other submarine shelters. However, the core cooling system is a technical black box.

The information only records that Tsuneisei Sanzhu was the earliest settler and built a three-story structure. After completing the construction, he accepted refugees from Tokyo City and established the Second New Tokyo City.

The first group of settlers became the "family" that dominated the world and ruled the order of New East City.

Among them, the Three Eternal Pillars are the oldest.

Just because of time constraints or people deliberately concealing it, the three major families did not say much about Gao Tianyuan.

In the 200-year history of Shinto City, the operation of Takamagahara's cooling center has generally been quite stable, with only one unexpected problem.

With the efforts of Chang Shi Sanzhu at that time, the problem was quickly solved without leaving many records.

In addition, for maintenance once every ten years, technicians will enter Gaotianyuan according to the process, record a series of data, and return to the present world.

This has led to a stable operation, so that the presence of Takamagahara is getting weaker and weaker. The vast majority of residents who have never left Shinto City have no experience of the extremely hot era.

Only mercenaries who go deep into the ocean, fight against the harsh environment, and face the ever-evolving algae tree spirits can have the most intuitive sense of the malice of this era.

At this time, people will think of their current difficult life. Without the refrigeration system that is always working, it will be even more difficult.

However, no matter how powerful the technology is, it has its limits.

When the temperature of the seawater rises further, and even evaporates completely one day, sooner or later the Takamagahara refrigeration center will be unable to protect humans.

At that time, everyone will become a frog in warm water, and their only life is to be cooked.

Without Roland and the vigorous awakening movement, Xindong City, led by the Changshi family, would probably have ended like this.

They subjectively have too much, have lost the will to enter, and cannot endure the hardship of technology research and development.

Facing the inevitable doomsday, we simply gave up.

Have fun while you can still move~

Now, the governors headed by Jingu Kaya understand the severe situation facing the Watch City.

Letting this city continue is an unavoidable problem before them.

The main route chosen by Jingu Jiaye is to find other worlds and find ways to leave this world whose destruction has been difficult to reverse.

There are also two secondary routes, which serve as auxiliary to provide human survival time when additional resources are available:

The first sub-route is based on Gao Tianyuan, transforming a more powerful refrigeration center, using the body of the algae tree spirit as a medium, to preserve human beings and consciousness, and survive the most difficult times.

The Thousand Suns Volley is terrifying, but the more intense the energy, the easier it is to reach its limit.

The sun will also cool and die.

If this world still exists after the most terrifying apocalypse, then human civilization will restart in a post-cooling era.

The second sub-route is to develop an extraterrestrial combat system, find and kill solar eggs, and convert energy in forms other than heat and light.

Strive to control the energy explosion in an orderly manner, kill the extra thousand suns, and let humans end this summer with their own hands.

The above three routes are called the Wandering Plan, the Parasite Plan and the Descendant Plan respectively.

This is a plan where scientists and AI work together, forgetting sleep and food, thinking hard, and discarding thousands of plans before picking out a theoretically possible plan.

Sadly, at this stage, a lot of money has been invested in the three routes in Lookout City, and the success rates are all...

zero.

There is no way, none of the three routes can be realized with the existing technology.

The Watchtower City, which exists on the bottom of the sea, has missed too much time.

Under the governance inertia of the Changshi family, a large amount of resources are devoted to the research and development and upgrading of consumer products, and there is not much progress in core technologies.

In just a few years, hundreds of billions have been invested to upgrade the charging speed to 5V1A.

At the same time, it is planned to invest 40 billion in ten years to explore the possibility of controllable nuclear fusion and build an experimental reactor.

This is capital-led scientific research.

After getting a stable refuge in the apocalypse, Shinto City appears prosperous and strange on the surface, but in fact it can be said to be a lost era in material terms.

The awakening movement eliminated the capitalists who were riding on everyone's head, and also awakened people's desire to fight against external crises.

But three years is too short after all.

The city hall has allocated manpower and material resources as efficiently as possible, exploring the surrounding areas as much as possible, investing in technology, mining new mineral deposits born in high-temperature environments, and looking for relics of other cities...

But the lost 200 years cannot be recovered, and the environment outside is getting more and more terrible.

They do not have the ability to build a second Takamagahara, nor can they complete revolutionary breakthroughs in technology in a short period of time.

It’s not that the governors didn’t know that if they spread their investment and spread the rain and dew evenly, they might not get anything in the end.

But the problem is that none of the three routes are clear at all.

Which way to choose specifically, you still have to wait for which way to make a breakthrough first, and then add more money.

Instead of diversifying their investments, they are buying lottery tickets.

In fact, it is impossible to win the lottery, so just buy one and have peace of mind.

"This is likely to be the last time we enter Takamagahara. According to the records of previous maintenance personnel, all we can see is the operating console and complex parameters, and we cannot see the core device."

"And the whole journey is only three days. If you don't leave, you will have to wait until ten years later. No one knows if there will be a chance to leave after that."
