Chapter 715: Deep Sea
The world's largest artificial island, an "artificial archipelago" consisting of 100 small circular islands with a diameter of 100 meters connected by steel cables.
This is a supporting sea surface living space built by Green Island Technology for the Cyborg Underwater City project, located 500 kilometers north of the Solomon Islands.
"Hey! We actually met again! I also really like artificial islands! Lin Mao greeted the celebrities who came to inspect in surprise.
The last time they met was on an artificial island, where the members of the "Worship the Great Society" erected a golden statue of their idol Windsor the Great, a bit like the hidden owner there.
However, this time, the hidden owner has become Lin Mao. The people around him didn't know that this artificial island and the entire cyborg undersea city project were presided over by Lin Mao.
Lin Mao and Mingjin Liu both like artificial islands, and they are also very similar, they both like to wear magic mirrors forever. It's just that Lin Mao is in order to keep in touch with Saber at any time, and Mingjin Liujun is to hide his appearance.
They don't like to drink because they have to be vigilant all the time. Needless to say, Lin Mao was afraid that Lao Wang would send someone to kill him.
Mingjinliu smiled and said: "It's you, fortunately, if you come again, you are not afraid that the wind on the sea will blow you away?" ”
Lin Mao said confidently: "We have established a perfect weather forecasting system, and if something goes wrong, everyone will take refuge in the windproof culvert." ”
Celebrity: "We? Could it be that you were involved in the construction of this island? ”
Lin Mao laughed, didn't answer the question, and said, "I can take you around and give you a reassuring pill." ”
This sentence seems to be a tacit acquiescence to his own mastership.
In order to have a sufficient center of gravity in bad weather, the central area of these islands is a relatively heavy trunk, reinforced with steel, hollow, and can be used as a shelter from the wind.
This area of the sea is 3,500 meters deep, and the artificial floating island is not fixed to the bottom of the sea with stupid black chains, but is connected to the traffic of the underwater city, and the sheltered duct is also the entrance to the underwater city, which has been opened to tourists in small batches.
There are not many elevators that can be combined with the thermodynamic circulation system of sea water temperature difference power generation, and only once every five minutes, each trip can only enter 12 people.
The elevator was insufficient and he was too lazy to queue, so Lin Mao used his privilege and directly used the private submarine to get embarrassed in front of his friends.
Some submarines will use ballast to dive in order to save fuel, but Lin Mao's submarine is equipped with a super battery engine, and the submarine that lacks electricity directly uses the propeller to power the dive, which is very fast.
Due to the refraction and scattering of seawater, by the time you dive a few hundred meters, the sky above you has turned into a small dome, and it is getting smaller and smaller.
As soon as Najin Ryu controlled the submarine, he knew that the magic mirror played a central role, so Lin Mao's identity was about to be revealed-the cyborg partner. A faint smile appeared at the corner of Najinliu's mouth.
"Why did cyborg build an undersea city?" Mingjin asked coldly.
Lin Mao was stunned: "Isn't it to fight with humans?" ”
Mingjin snorted: "Interesting explanation. ”
Lin Mao: "Do you have any ideas that the public doesn't know?" ”
Nazu: "I wonder if the cyborg have good intentions, and when a nuclear war breaks out again, the surface of the sea will be filled with all kinds of dangerous radiation volcanic lava ashes, and the extreme cold will envelop the world.
Hey, have you noticed that this undersea city happens to be built on the equator? Perhaps in the time of nuclear winter, only the climate here is slightly better. ”
Lin Mao was stunned again and fell into deep thought.
Mingjinliu: "It's a pity that no one among the human race has thought that mankind has chosen to build an underwater city in the Sea of Japan between the Soviet Union and Japan. If nuclear winter comes, it will turn into a frozen sea, and the ice may be hundreds of meters thick. ”
Lin Mao finally sighed and said, "If there really is such a day, in fact, everything doesn't matter, right?" ”
Mingjin nodded: "It's okay to say that." The best thing about the last nuclear war was that everyone had just invented nuclear weapons, and they were not in many quantities and of low quality, and if you come back again...... It really doesn't matter anymore. ”
Lin Mao: "...... Why didn't Windsor the Great unify the Earth? I really hope that he is a tyrant as the Yankees advertise, but unfortunately, this so-called tyrant has not even given up the opportunity to unify the earth. ”
Mingjinliu: "yes, it's a pity. ”
After a while, Lin Mao said again: "Is the bottom of the equator really safe?" A nuclear bomb comes and evaporates all the water of the sea, and maybe the underwater city will also turn into steam. ”
"Fortunately, the water at a depth of 3,500 meters will not be evaporated, but the world is covered by ice, the sunlight is lost, the bottom of the sea has no energy, sooner or later it will freeze to death, maybe even the temperature difference of the sea water power generation will not reach a feasible critical point." ”
Lin Mao: "You can use nuclear energy. ”
Nago: "Nuclear fusion is pretty much the same, because it can collect heavy water from the sea, but the current technology can't control fusion power generation. Just think about how hard it is to take an atomic bomb the size of a fist to reach the tipping point of a hydrogen bomb. ”
Lin Mao: "Yes, how many countries and how many scientists are working in this direction. ”
"The only thing that can survive is in the equatorial sea, and there is one energy source that cannot disappear - tidal energy caused by the moon. ”
Lin Mao: "There is also the chemical energy provided by the oil fields. ”
Mingjinliu: "Yes, but all the methods of human exploitation are now obscured by a thick layer of ice. What's more, when natural disasters come, living things don't have time to evolve, and most species on the earth will go extinct, a bit like the largest mass extinction in the history of the earth, the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
96 marine organisms and 70 local organisms are extinct. There is a theory that at that time it was a supercontinent that made up all the continental plates together, and volcanic lava covered 80 of the continent's area. ”
Lin Mao was surprised: "You are very familiar with this, is it a geology major?" ”
Mingjin smiled: "I'm just interested." ”
Lin Mao: "Yes, at this time, I'm afraid that the moon is more habitable than the earth, hehe, hey, is it feasible to settle on the moon?" ”
Mingjinliu: "Originally, it was not easy, because the nights on the moon are very long, and it is very difficult. There is only one place, the north and south poles of the moon, where there is a possibility of 'Eternal Day Peak'.
So far, no human lunar exploration vehicle has been able to discover the theoretical possibility of the existence of the Eternal Day Peak with the lunar polar regions, but the nearly 1,000-meter super solar sail on the Tanuki battleship can arguably create the Eternal Day Peak, so that the lunar colony has sufficient energy.
The Moon's water is evaporated by the solar wind, but there is plenty of ice in the shade-protected ground of the crater that can be used as a source of water for human needs. ”
Lin Mao said happily: "It's really timely, then, is there enough minerals on the moon?" ”
Mingjinliu: "Yes, the composition of the moon is very similar to the earth, and it can be said that what is on the earth is what is on the moon, so that the heavenly family generally believes that the moon was originally a part of the earth, and after being hit by the planets, countless fragments were ejected, and these fragments eventually accreted together to form the moon. ”
Lin Mao: "I really didn't expect it, the habitable place of the moon is actually in the polar region, and the name of the polar republic of cyborg is good, and it has become the best place on the moon." ”
Mingjinliu: "I'm such a good submarine, I have a good relationship with cyborgs, right?" You should advise them to go to the development of a lunar base as soon as possible. ”
Lin Mao smiled and said, "Guess who I am?" ”
Mingjin: "Huh? ”
Lin Mao: "The Tanuki battleship you just mentioned is me...... Design, my name is Lin Mao, homonym. ”
Najin Liu's eyes lit up and said, "Fortunately! I am a lover of lunar exploration, a golden streamer, and a native of the Qing Dynasty. In order to get close to Lin Mao, Mingjin immediately changed from Japanese to Qing Guo.
Lin Mao patted Jin Liu's little brother on the shoulder like a boss and said, "I'll go and consult my cyborg friend, what I said is unreliable." But...... What are the other benefits of developing the moon? Except that there is more sunlight than the Earth at the time of nuclear winter. ”
Jin Liu: "If I were someone who wanted to dominate, I would definitely use the moon as a base, because only there is impossible for the enemy to strike." Just like Daqin, who hides behind Hangu Pass, just like the United States, which has no strong enemies in the north and south, and has the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as moats, it is difficult to be attacked. ”
This sentence is on Lin Mao's heart, if the 7 major families of cyborg compete for hegemony in the future, the place where he Lin Mao sits is a lunar colony that cannot be attacked, don't be too cool.
Lin Mao nodded: "Well said!" What do you do now? ”
Jin Liu: "I'm very honored to travel everywhere, I don't need to work, and I have left a lot of savings at home. ”
Lin Mao said "oh", he is actually a rich second generation, and he still wants to recruit talents.
In the middle of the conversation, the underwater city arrived.
The beehive-like underwater city, the largest public space, has a huge dome 10 meters high and spans 30 meters, named "Central Hall". This dome is very, very expensive, using a double-layered titanium alloy shell, which can withstand a lot of redundancy in pressure, equivalent to a water depth of 7,000 meters. There are also smart devices that comprehensively inspect possible cracks every other week.
Jin Liu: "It's already finished?" So, humanity is still defeated by cyborgs? ”
Lin Mao said: "Humans, they say that our design is too rudimentary, opportunistic, and not winning. Haha, funny. ”
Jin Liu: "I remember that the rules of the competition were that the undersea city should accommodate 100,000 people, and now you have reached it?" ”
Lin Mao: "Our transportation capacity can't provide so many resources, we have to take our time, but the space is enough, and human beings will make a fuss about it, which involves the jurisdiction of the high seas, and human beings will not casually recognize the rights of cyborgs to the high seas." ”
Jin Liu: "So, you're going to build missile battleships?" ”
Lin Mao: "I...... If I don't build it, the cyborgs will do the same sooner or later, and they're not monolithic, you know? My partner is nothing more than one of the branches. ”
