Chapter 85 Material Reserves
Hearing this, Lu Yiming sighed silently.
Only a larger population size means more post-disaster reconstruction efforts.
Even if a small number of people survive through the shelters, they are considered extinct, and it is difficult for them to continue to pass on the culture of their own countries.
Ding Yuan played a photo on the screen: "Let's get back to the point, let's not be too happy too early, our Yunhai Shelter is actually a real floating island...... Let's consider it a super-large giant ship, because the tonnage is so large, the propeller propulsion can only barely make it move. ”
"It's impossible for us to sail against the currents in a strong wind, so it's impossible for more than 200 shelters scattered across the country to converge in a moment and a half."
"The nearest shelter is 150 kilometers away, and we have to live our lives separately...... Everyone should be mentally prepared for this. At present, most of the infrastructure is flooded, and the satellites are gone, and they can only communicate with each other by telegraph, and the amount of data transmitted is limited. ”
"According to the instructions of headquarters, this torrential rain from outer space will last for hundreds or thousands of years, submerging everything. Except for the plateau area, which is not flooded, almost all other areas are flooded. ”
"Wait here in place, even if our shelter can barely resist the torrential rain, there is still no chance of survival, as time passes, we will inevitably usher in the fate of running out of survival materials, so in the end we still have to find a way to enter the Yang River, that is, the entrance to the parallel world, to find a new continent!"
"When you get to the parallel world, it's hard to say when the situation comes...... No one knows what will happen, and we may or may not be able to find new land, but in any case, it is better than staying here and waiting. ”
Ding Yuan suddenly aggravated his tone: "All in all, the key point is in three days!" ”
"After three days, the rising water level will allow our Yunhai to float on the surface with enough buoyancy. A violent northwesterly wind will propel our ship away from the current continental skeleton, the target ...... Southeast! ”
"Since we have lost our satellite navigation system, the stars in the sky are obscured by dark clouds, and we can only locate them by compass and gyroscope, including the communication coordinates of friendly shelters."
"We will be the vanguard of entering Yanghe!"
"There are ...... related technicians"
Ding Yuan called a series of names in one breath, arranged specific technical staff, measured the condition of wind and water flow, and made final maintenance and debugging of the power system of the shelter.
This operation is undoubtedly extremely important, and in the face of heavier and heavier rainfall, there is no point in waiting. If the wind direction changes, the shelter may be trapped in the torrential rain and will never be able to enter the Yang River again.
Go to a parallel world in search of a new continent...... this
It is indeed a crazy, bold and fantastic idea that has no choice, maybe humanity will usher in a more colorful story, or ...... All extinct.
Lu Yiming looked up at the ceiling, but he was inexplicably looking forward to it.
"I'm a little flustered." Jin Lili whispered, "Yanghe has also appeared in the parallel world, does it mean that it has also suffered the disaster of world destruction?" We went from one S-class disaster to another? It always feels a little funny. ”
"That's not necessarily ......" Lu Yiming said optimistically: "Yanghe appeared ten years ago, was our world not good ten years ago?" As long as there is a few years of respite, or even, as long as there is half a year of respite, it is always good. It's a big deal to keep running away. ”
"And, as you can deduce from the wooden sailboat that floated over, there may have been a safe place in the parallel world...... Well, we still have to think in the best direction possible. ”
After Dr. Ding finished speaking, another official in charge of logistics came to the stage to speak: "Ladies, sir, I will talk about the material preparation of the Yunhai City Shelter ......."
Sure enough, as expected, the reserve of major grains such as flour, rice, meat, and vegetables was the first priority, so the preparation was quite sufficient, about two years.
This reserve is already a lot, because food will rot, and even if it is well preserved for a long time, it will not be able to eat, and the volume of the Yunhai is limited, even if there is a large cold storage in the shelter, it is impossible to directly reserve the share of tens of hundreds of years.
"But now it's 1.3 years because of a 56 percent overload. If you take into account factors such as humid air, water ingress in some granaries, moisture, rotting, aquaculture, and food waste, it is expected to be depleted in about a year. ”
However, when I heard the next work report, everyone's mood eased slightly.
At present, the sun in the sky is obscured by clouds and mist, and there is no way to grow plants on the deck, but the production room can produce some food through soilless cultivation. In addition, the breeding of broilers and mealworms, including the cultivation of synthetic meat, is also being carried out in an orderly manner, which can bring some qualified protein supplements to humans.
The most troublesome thing is that the inorganic salts and nutrients required for soilless cultivation cannot be reused, and these material resources cannot be produced, and they can only last for about three years.
"If we get out of the heavy rainstorm and get real sunshine, then we can grow vegetables and fruits on the deck of the shelter, and the food question is basically not asked," the logistics officer said. ”
"Next is about the electricity ......"
The supply of electricity is basically atomic energy, which is currently the most advanced fourth-generation molten salt reactor, plus a small amount of thermal power generation as a backup option.
Therefore, from the perspective of electricity, it is not too much of a problem, as long as the staff is properly maintained and does not fish in the process of going to work, these nuclear power units can last for a long time, and there is no need to think about this matter in 20 years.
"Conventional Daily Necessities Reserve ......"
Conventional daily necessities, including chemical fiber materials, toothbrushes, soap, rubber products, toilet paper, plastic bags, etc., these things will not affect survival, so the preparation is not sufficient in a hurry, at most it can only be a year, or even a year may be used up.
However, the lack of these materials can affect the quality of life, and if it can be recycled, it should be recycled as much as possible. If not, there is no way to do it, and one can only hope for some turnaround in the future.
In addition, the reserves of raw materials such as oil, aluminum, zinc, silver, and gold are not very sufficient. Except for the amount of steel and copper, the other quantities are not enough. After all, Yunhai City is not a mineral industry city, and the logistics are not smooth, even if the inventory of Yunhai City is emptied, there is only these.
At this point, the official nodded: "The reserves in terms of materials are probably like this. ”
