Chapter 333: A Short Break
The black courtesy car that Joe was riding in drove all the way into the interior of the dungeon, and now the scene inside the dungeon is very different from before.
Narrow and crowded streets are now wide, well-connected highways that are bustling with people and traffic just like the city on the ground.
What's even more interesting is that you can now see the blue sky, or a holographic projection of the blue sky, when you look up from the ground. Coupled with the vegetation that has gradually been planted in the dungeon, living here is not too oppressive, which is a blessing for claustrophobia.
Today, it's a bustling underground city, not just a place to live.
In the end, the car stopped next to a heavily guarded building, Qiao Lu walked in, and Luo Feng was waiting for him inside.
"Qiao Lu, you're finally back."
"yes, I didn't expect so many surprises to happen."
Qiao Lu couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect that this time would take so much time, almost a whole month.
"Anyway, just come back." Luo Feng said with relief.
Qiao Lu asked with some concern, "Did anything happen during my absence?" ”
"There's been a lot going on, but I'm sure you've heard about it on the way back, such as the Crescent base and the massive troop reloading. In addition, the Antarctic courtyard project and Einstein's equator have begun to start construction on a large scale, and the construction team will accelerate the construction with the fire energy obtained every month, and it will take about another year to complete, of course, this is under the premise of no accidents. ”
"It's a bit hard." Qiao Lu said helplessly.
Think of all the accidents that had happened to him in just one month on the Overwatch plane, let alone how much had happened in a whole year.
But of course, the so-called accidents are not necessarily bad, and if we can continue to get some useful technology, the construction period may be shortened.
Luo Feng continued: "Another thing is that our superconducting ore reserves have been almost depleted, and I am afraid it is not enough for 10,000 planetary engine cannons to fire a salvo. There is an urgent search for alternatives, but unfortunately no progress has been made. ”
The Avatar world is the first plane experienced by the wandering earth, and at that time, there was no means to be able to keep in touch across the plane, although 3,000 tons of superconducting ore is a lot, but after experiencing the consumption of so many planes, it will inevitably fall into a state of shortage.
"An alternative to superconducting ores? It's not such an easy thing to find. ”
Qiao Lu also felt a lot of headaches, without superconducting ore, the Spring Festival Ten Thousand Rings and the Earth Sword would become unusable, which was a very dangerous state for the Wandering Earth.
At present, we can only hope that the next plane can find a suitable replacement, otherwise it is definitely a pity that we cannot continue to use the Spring Festival Ten Thousand Rings and the Sword of the Earth.
It feels like the next plane's task has become a bit heavier.
Luo Feng seemed to see through Qiao Lu's thoughts, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Don't put so much pressure on yourself, there will always be a way to solve everything. You've just come back, so you'll have a good rest for the next few days, and you don't know what's going to happen when you enter the new world. ”
"That's right." Qiao Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'll go first, and I'll be notified if there is a situation." ”
After experiencing the Zhitong conspiracy and the moon crisis in the Overwatch world, Qiao Lu also felt a little tired, and took this opportunity to take a break and recuperate his spirit to meet the next plane.
First of all, he returned to his new home, a villa in the dungeon, where the housing conditions were no longer tight, and the housing allocated to him by the coalition government was no longer so shabby.
I have to say that the decoration of this villa is very luxurious, and there are smart housekeepers to provide services, even if Qiao Lu has not come back for a long time, this place is still cleaned neatly by smart housekeepers.
The windows on one side of the villa project a realistic image of the seascape, and together with a small man-made beach, it can also give people the illusion of being on the beach.
Of course, the reason why he didn't directly find a real sea view villa was just for the sake of safety, although Qiao Lu didn't care about it, but considering his identity, he still had to put safety first when arranging a residence.
It is undoubtedly safer underground than on the ground, which is why the residences of important officials of the coalition government are still located in the underground city, and the holographic projection is only to make up for the shortcomings a little.
But Qiao Lu wouldn't care about this, anyway, he didn't have a few days to stay at home all year round. For this new home, he may not be familiar with the people who live nearby.
Either way, it's a good place to rest, and for someone like Jolu, who often has to travel back and forth between several planes, it's nice to have a stable and comfortable place.
Now he is lying on a beach chair, looking at the vivid sea scene in the distance, and then looking at the blue sky and white clouds overhead, although it is only a space created by holograms, it also makes him feel at ease and relaxed for the first time in a long time.
At least here he doesn't have to worry about quantum collapse, no fear of the moon falling, no Resident Evil or monster invasion, just the rustling of the waves and the sea breeze from the simulation.
In this space where no one else disturbed, Qiao Lu silently sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's been more than a year before I know it." ”
One year and four months to be exact, Qiao Lu first came to the Wandering Earth during the Lunar New Year, and now it is June of the following year.
Of course, the months are no longer linked to the seasons, and for the wandering earth that travels through the infinite world, any kind of weather can occur in any month, and climate change is even less felt in the dungeon.
In this year, the changes that have taken place on the wandering earth can be described as changing with each passing day, and at the normal pace of development, even the past ten years may not be able to match the progress achieved in this year.
Of course, such a development can never be comprehensive, even if there are special research projects systematically provided, the Wandering Earth only meets the standards of interstellar civilization in some aspects, and in other aspects, it is still in the stage of the home star civilization.
There is no way, today's Wandering Earth can be said to be a human civilization rebuilt from the ruins, not to mention leaping to the standard of interstellar civilization in one breath, just being able to restore the living conditions before the Wandering Earth project was launched is already very good.
It's a pity that other civilizations in the universe will not show mercy because of this, and if they encounter a genuine high-level interstellar civilization in the next world, what should they do?
"It's been so hard to be free, why am I bothering myself again?"
Qiao Lu hurriedly shook his head and threw these distracting thoughts out of his mind, now he should recharge his energy and enjoy life.
But who knows when such fears will become a reality?
