Xiling Empire

Chapter 80

This strong man named Tieke is right. Under the current circumstances, the only way for the "condenser" town is to go to a nearby big town for help, otherwise the town will fall into an extremely dangerous situation. "Net" users playing

The fusion reactor has blown up. This shocking fact left many townspeople at a loss at first, and they didn't even feel the fear, because such a thing was so incredible that when it was born, The first reaction of ordinary people is not panic, but confusion. But now, some people have realized how dangerous things are happening. Tieke is one of the people who first realized the situation.

The fusion reactor matrix, which is evenly distributed and hangs over 3,000 kilometers above the ground of the planet, is the only source of light and heat in this world ecosystem. Because no one can master the technology of using psionic reactors to provide stable thermal radiation, so these Ancient fusion reactors have been in operation for hundreds of thousands of years, and are still irreplaceable. When the fusion reactor goes out and there is no longer the possibility of maintenance, the entire northern hemisphere can be expected to usher in constant nights and cold, which can be fatal.

The artificial atmosphere of these ruined planets is not heavy enough, and their heat preservation efficiency is lower than that of the normal atmosphere. After losing the continuous heating of the fusion reactor, they will soon lose their thermal balance. This is one of the bad things. Unfortunately, due to the power of the fusion reactor, Limited. In order to ensure the uniform supply of light and heat to the entire planet, there are actually several fusion reactors over the planet. Each fusion reactor is only responsible for providing "sunlight" to a small area below it. In this case, Some of its reactors went out, and the area it was responsible for would hardly receive any "sunlight" replenishment from nearby reactors.

Immediately afterwards, the northern hemisphere of this ruined planet will be frozen by the cold wind for a very short time.

Of course, the big man named Tieke may not think of such a detailed thing, what he is worried about is only things that can be inferred by simple logic: continue to darken, the weather will become cold, the town will not have enough food, insufficient energy, and in and out traffic will be affected. Blocked, if you don't have the food you can take with you, rush to ask for help in good condition, and wait for a long time to delay everything.

The "condenser" town is just a small settlement with less than two residents. When the iron house was just established, it did not even have a name. Such a backcountry and remote country cannot have enough reserves to fight against ice. Yes, it also does not have an energy shield that can withstand the cold wind, and there is no lighting energy that can always be bright under the lasting night. There is no reliable administrative management mechanism in this world. Only a few people know about the existence of the condenser town, and those people are unlikely to come to the rescue in this case. In fact, you are polite to say that even if this town is dead today, After two years, no one knows what was born here.

You need supplies, you need energy, you need a food reserve that can withstand the long winter nights. Of course, if possible, you need to relocate the entire town to a sunny place, but these things did not fall out of thin air. The only way is to go to the nearest big town for help. Even if there is no supplies, let them know the existence of the town, so if the big city starts to organize rescue in the winter night area, it will not be left out. .

As for waiting for Dacheng to put a fusion reactor here ... In fact, everyone knows that this is a good wish.

Of course, Father Barnard also knew this. He agreed with Tieke's idea, but raised a very sharp question:

How do you go?

Seventeen kilometers climbing on the cliff covered with black steel wrecks? Are you Superman his second cousin?

Tieke and Barnard are tit-for-tat, each insisting on their own ideas. Because they are all right, no one can persuade anyone at this time, and when I have started to think about whether I should help myself, but suddenly A white light came near the horizon, interrupting everyone's attention.

Near the distant horizon, the sky was suddenly illuminated by a bright white light, as if the dark curtain there was suddenly torn open from above by a large mouth. Because the distance is too far, we can only see that the horizon is plated. There is a bright edge, but the specific light source is uncertain.

But by speculation, this is probably the light of a fusion furnace.

The white light outside the horizon is just the beginning. Soon, the same light is also lit from the horizon on the other side. The distant sky that is visible in all directions begins to be illuminated by white light. The townspeople are confused. Yes, Barnard suddenly responded, and said with joy: "Fusion reactors! Fusion reactors elsewhere have been repaired!"

"But our fusion reactor is gone."

Tieke poured a basin of cold water on the spot.

The white light outside the horizon formed a ring, showing that the fusion furnaces in those places had resumed operation. After a few minutes, no flashes of explosion came from those places, indicating that the other fusion furnaces had not encountered the same as the one above us. Doom.

When the sky far outside was shrouded in white light, the ground beneath everyone's feet seemed to be an abandoned island, like a circular black spot on white paper. Due to the distance between the fusion furnaces, the single power was again Insufficient, the surrounding sunlight can't take care of the eyes and eyes. Everyone can only see that the horizons in all directions seem to be plated with silver edges, as if the light of dawn is coming from every direction. Sunrise-But sunrise never comes.

In this case, I do n’t know whether to cry or laugh. The townspeople at the scene silently looked up at the sky. There was still darkness above them, and the slightest cold air came from all sides. At this time, the darkness and cold seemed to be more obvious. .

"Ajun, Ajun, it seems to be blowing!"

Shallowly dragged my arm and cried strangely.

Sure enough, Shallow reminded me that I noticed that I did n’t know when a soft breeze had blown around. The wind was very chaotic. There was no way to tell which direction it was blowing from, as if changing constantly as I wanted. Shallow fingers After getting a little bit of saliva, I felt empty for a while, and told us solemnly that the north-south and east-west winds were blowing.

"Wind-the situation is not good, I forgot this, humans can't stand this situation!"

Sandora's silk was blown up by the increasing turbulence, looking at the small pieces of paper flying off the streets nearby, and she suddenly looked solemnly, "Everyone, leave the town at once! Transfer to the metal station Below those flying cliffs! Barnard, are there any large settlements in the area where the fusion reactor that had been blown up in the sky originally illuminated? "

"There is a town called" Zhongzha "a dozen kilometers away. It is an excavation station, and then there are no other settlements. The area of ​​thousands of kilometers is a metal stack with almost no residents."

Barnard was confused by Sandora's sudden questioning, but quickly answered her question. As for the townspeople to withdraw from the town, he couldn't figure out what was going on, "Why leave the town?"

"hurricane."

Sandora looked at the sky, deep darkness, and it seemed that a giant was gradually gathering her strength. That giant might be worthless to Sandora, but for ordinary people here , I am afraid it will be a general doomsday disaster.

"In the beginning, all fusion reactors in the northern hemisphere were shut down, which caused the thermal balance on both sides of the planet to fail. Although it sounds serious, it is actually safe. On the large scale, the atmosphere has sufficient buffer space to cope with this imbalance, but now, thermal balance is very It collapsed in a small area ... the atmosphere was unevenly heated, and the hurricane that swept the entire thermal imbalance zone will be caused. You have all seen bonfires, beside the bonfires, the airflow will accelerate as the flames heat the surrounding air, And now the fusion reactors around the area are countless huge bonfires, and above us are large-scale cold air masses on the planet. "

Sandora explained the upcoming events in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, and concluded: "With all the fusion reactors surrounding the atmosphere continuously heating the atmosphere, the cold air zone we are in has formed a huge wind tunnel. This planet The atmospheric balance is too poor, and this thermal imbalance will almost lead to a meteorological disaster on the spot. I am afraid that the hurricane will strike in less than forty minutes-now you should be able to feel that the air flow is increasing, this is Local inert air masses are gradually becoming active. "

Sandora's explanation is clear enough, but the townspeople here are all miners. Their scientific knowledge is probably very limited, so many people are still confused, but as more and more townspeople come together, Shan Dora's warnings have been conveyed throughout the town. Regardless of whether they can understand the truth, people's anxiety has been well stimulated.

At this moment, the wind direction of the air changed again, and the wind speed was instantly increased by an order of magnitude. A large amount of shredded paper and fabric fragments were blown into the sky by the sudden enhanced wind. Someone subconsciously looked up at those fragments as they flew higher. After flying to a height of several tens of meters, he suddenly accelerated, and whistled and was swept to an unknown place.

"Go and notify everyone! Leave town!"

Father Barnard seemed to have just straightened out the principle described by Sandora. At this time, looking at the high altitude, the strong wind was obviously strengthened, his face changed slightly, and he immediately called out loud.

"Is this really possible? It's so windy?"

A thin-skinned, dark-skinned woman tightened her tight-fitting overalls, apparently she didn't want to accept this abrupt command.

"It's not ordinary wind." I muttered, and Barnard frowned as he looked at the already cloudy sky. "What if it's true? At least hide first, or come back when the time comes."

"Someone needs to notify another town," Tieke said harshly, "The heavy gate is only seventeen kilometers from here. If there is a hurricane, it can't escape!"

The situation has changed dramatically compared to just now. At the beginning, the helpers now have to take the responsibility of rescue. The "heavy gate" town never imagined that the hurricane was about to hit their homes. The only person who knew the news was more than ten kilometers. Outside this settlement, there are only two people.

"I wanted to ask before, don't you have a more convenient way to communicate?" Bingtis glanced at Father Barnard, "there is even a spaceship in this world, but you don't call?"

"Telephone? What's that?" Father Barnard was stunned by this earthly term, and then shook his head awkwardly. "If you talk about communicators, it was originally in the town, but it has broken a few days ago. Now, we are just a metal sorting station, and no one wants to spend time setting up information nodes here. "

"Okay, I can open an interstellar spacecraft, but the wireless network has not yet been popularized, and this is the wonderful world." Butters muttered, and then went to chat with her protoss sliver group. I didn't mean to help.

"If there are only a few tens of minutes, there is no time to inform them anyway, but that is a dozen kilometers of cliffs," Father Barnard said with deep anxiety on his face. "Can you just let it go?"

"How does that work!" Tieke said aloud immediately, but after the sentence, he did not go. Bingtis and her group of gods known as compassionate and compassionate people still talked in deafness, but the former used spiritual connection to Message: "Body is suddenly curious, what decisions they will make in this case, this will directly affect the score of their entire race, so you and Sandora should not take the shot yourself until the end. "

"Score?" I frowned, as if I didn't understand why Bingtis would help at all. This wasn't the devil's bad taste of mortals, but there seemed to be a valid reason, "What are you doing?"

"Isn't this race already de-listed from the Temple of Life?" Bettis smiled. "But now, you certainly won't leave the world alone, so you have to re-register for them. But the procedures are good. Yes, some formal things still have to go through again, so use this test as an assessment of grassroots members of this race. "

I am speechless.

Elder Barnard and Tieke frowned about how to notify the “Gateway” town. The time passed by one minute and one second, although the wind around them was still so strong and weak to scare people, but it may be psychological. Many people feel that the air around them is gradually condensing.

The townspeople have gone home individually, greeting the elderly and children at home to prepare to take shelter under the cliff near the metal station. They only brought very little food and water, and most people did not even bring an extra piece of clothing. Obviously these people They all think that what is going to be bad in the future is just a strong wind. They also plan to go home after the wind stops, which can be judged by carefully locking the door of the room before they go out.

It seems that no one believes that the strong wind will destroy their iron plate house. If the highly respected mayor gave a death order, perhaps most people would choose to hide away from the strong wind. Now the only thing that is fortunate is that they still obey the command. of.

Seeing such a scene, Sandora frowned, but didn't say much, just looked at the sky occasionally, and estimated the time for the hurricane to travel from the upper atmosphere to the lower atmosphere.

"If only transportation is available," Tieke's loud voice seemed particularly prominent at this time. "But we only have a suspended vehicle that pulls metal scraps. It can't rely on that thing to be a" heavy gate town ", and there is no road on the road yet. light."

"Wait! With transportation, I have it at home!"

Just when two adults were at a loss for this, a childish voice suddenly came in. It was Glick.

"I have one at home, a high-speed flying machine!" Grick straightened hard, and now his face was full of pride, as if he were about to become a hero. "Really, it's just outside my room ... Ah, These guests gave me! "

Seeing that none of the adults around him noticed his words, Glick rushed his fingers in our direction.

The aircraft he said was a single-armed fighter assembled by "Dudu". Under the strong request of Glick, Sandora and I did not take back the apparently non-civilian thing for the time being, and now it seems to be taking on a great mission Already.

When the silver-white, streamlined shuttle hovered on the square, people who were still skeptical at first suddenly exclaimed: especially when it was knocked down. Obviously Glick's skills in driving this stuff are not enough, and I should suggest that he use autonomous driving in the future.

That's right, Glick has already opened this thing, no matter how he bumps, but he can still let it perform basic flight control-don't be surprised, a 14-year-old child learns how to make the Spirit equipment work It ’s not surprising at all. The trend of science and technology exhibition is like this. The more advanced the thing, the simpler and quicker it is to use it. All equipment will tend to be simplified and simplified as the technology matures. It takes years of training to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but it is much simpler to learn to shoot. Humans can basically do it except Hawking. As a widely used grass-roots weapon, the single-armed fighter is extremely simple to use. Its intelligent system can even complete flight control based only on vague phrases. Yes, Hawking can operate, not to mention a clever child like Glick.

Of course, meeting is one aspect, and mastery is the other. There may be billions of people in the world who can pull the trigger, but more than half of them may hit the feet ... As for understanding the principle and structure of firearms, it is still It has to be brushed down by more than a billion, so high-tech things are always divided into two levels, one layer is for users, as the technology exhibition becomes simpler, the first layer is its real scientific content, which is for experts, Increasingly deep. This trend of the Apostles of the Spirit is far away, and the polarization is incredible: a 14-year-old child can control the take-off and landing of fighters with brain waves, but you may not be able to engage scientists around the earth Understand how the sound of Pandora's belly comes out ...

Barnard glanced back and forth between us and the individual fighter with an incredible look. It seemed extremely confusing, but no one explained anything to him. Grick was familiar with the actual takeoff and landing process of the fighter (previously it only I did a virtual scene in the cockpit ~ www.readwn.com ~ This thing didn't design a crew cabin, so Grick wanted to complete this task by himself: warn people more than ten kilometers away.

"Let a child do this? I'd rather go!"

Tieke shouted.

I glanced at him with a smile: "Will you drive?"

"You will! Why don't you go by yourself?"

Teck was obviously a candid person, and after speaking this with a rough voice, he caused Barnard's dissatisfaction: "Teck, they are guests."

"I believe that the child can do it," the elder sister said suddenly. "He may be a hero. In addition, the thing is also very safe. It has an automatic driving and danger avoidance system, even if Glick does nothing, He will reach his destination safely. "

"Well, I won't talk about this anymore," Barnard watched Glick flew away from the sight of the fighter, and glanced at us indifferently. "Not much time, hurry up!"
