Chapter 198: The Return Trip

The real horror of volcanic eruptions lies in the large amount of volcanic ash, which can impede breathing, which can carry countless toxic substances over a range of hundreds of kilometers, and most importantly, enough volcanic ash that can block out the sunlight and cause the temperature to drop within a certain range.

It is said that this is how the dinosaurs died.

Once volcanic ash enters the stratosphere, the volcanic aerosols will quickly disperse from the equator to the north and south as the stratosphere moves from the equator to the polar regions, thus spreading around the world.

April 1815, after the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia, 1816 was called "a year without summer": in June of that year, snow fell all over the United States.

Huang Xuan didn't have time to feel the cooling, but because the distance was too close, the volcanic ash with an average thickness of tens of centimeters gathered at the foot of the mountain, almost burying him in it, and the choking smell was quickly shielded by Lorraine, and after two minutes, even the oxygen he breathed was directly generated by electrolysis raindrops - to separate oxygen from toxic substances, it consumed more energy.

In just over 10 minutes, hundreds of millions of tons of material were produced on Mt. Fuji, and many cities and prefectures, including Edo and Shizuoka, were covered in thick ash.

"Within a radius of 200 kilometers, the signs of life are reduced by 97%" Lorraine's voice was cold and tight.

Huang Xuan sat on the ground with some weak legs, which was actually a pile of volcanic ash that was still hot, and said, "Then Tokyo is over?" He still used to call Edo Tokyo.

"The chances of Tokugawa Yoshiki surviving are less than 0.5 in 1,000."

Huang Xuan coughed and said with a smile: "Isn't that the same price as the bank's non-local deposit and withdrawal?" ”

"Yes." Lorraine still doesn't have a bit of a sense of humor.

Dian Wei dug the soil and said curiously: "This windy ......"

Huang Xuan was in a cold sweat, but fortunately he didn't know about the sandstorm.

Accompanied by the eruption, in addition to heavy rain and lightning, is mixed with volcanic ash mudslide, if you get closer, the hot magma will be nearby more than ten kilometers within the terrain and landform completely changed, Huang Xuan from beginning to end after reading the great project of Mount Fuji, but also had to sigh: this volcano is also aged, to menopause, after all, it is different.

In such an environment, it is impossible to distinguish the time and the sky, and if the dust settles, it may not take a few months, Huang Xuan breathed in the oxygen that still smelled of sulfur, and asked Lorraine: "How much can we make now?" ”

"At least 800,000." Nick chimed in, "And it's increasing by thousands every hour. It's so exhilarating. ”

"If you're human." Lorraine retorted to Nick, and continued: "The energy stored in the base is running out, and if we don't go back within an hour, there will be another power outage in São Paulo." ”

Huang Xuan felt a pity and said: "Thousands of people per hour, you are willing to do it?" The energy you're ready to upgrade is also used? I'll find you again when I get back. ”

"Nick also uses 60% of the energy in reserve, sequestering toxic substances, maintaining temperature, and degrading waste, each of which doesn't consume too much energy, but it's a lot if you do so many things at the same time, and in addition, Dian Wei's lung capacity is 4 times that of you."

Huang Xuan scratched his head, coughed twice and said, "It is said that my body size is much smaller than his, not to mention that we still have the potential to exercise......"

"With your quality, it is difficult to train to the level of Dian Wei." Lorraine stabbed Huang Xuan again without realizing it, and then said: "Our reserves are too small, now the buffer belt is very disorderly, and the energy consumed in the transportation process is also more, and if we wait, our energy will not be enough to deal with emergencies." ”

Thinking that Edo, dozens of kilometers away behind him, might kill people and animals, Huang Xuan could imagine how much energy he had spent on his peace, he was also not a person who liked to take unnecessary risks, in order to increase the 5% income, but he was willing to take more risks than the 95% return, which was the behavior of a fool, so Huang Xuan was just a pity, and said: "Then let's go back." ”

Nick exclaimed, "We can also buy energy from R001, and you still have at least 150 million energy circles in your deposit on the R plane." ”

"There's no need." Huang Xuan vetoed: "Buying a large amount of energy may cause unnecessary trouble. What's more, 800,000 can be toned, which is enough for us to toss for a while. Even with his meagre experience, he knew that energy was always a commodity under control in your face.

"Return in 10 seconds." Huang Xuan has decided that Lorraine is the first in efficiency.

……

Breathing fresh air, it is still a very comfortable thing, greedily took two deep breaths, Huang Xuan remembered some planes in Lorraine's data, in order to maximize the speed of plane development, even air is limited as a resource, that kind of life, that kind of domination, is about the real ****.

The air was damp and earthy, and the plane door was reflected in the flickering wall, Huang Xuan "rubbed" and "rubbed" his eyes in order to recover his eyesight quickly, and asked by the way: "Is there a problem with abalone?" ”

That's tens of billions of yuan, and I can buy the port of Santos.

"No problem. I placed them in the center of the plane channel, determined the temperature and humidity, and everything was fine. Lorraine also understands that abalone is energy, and if someone is put in, as long as the other party does not have permission, he has no heart to care about the problem of comfort and discomfort.

Huang Xuan looked around, and they still returned to the cave in the Negev desert, and the original patterns on the ground had been smoothed.

Dian Wei easily adapted to the characteristics of the plane passage, jumped twice on the ground, touched his head on the top of the cave, and fell a lot of clods of earth with a brush. Lorraine said: "The space-time characteristics of this cave 'hole' are already very weak, and the energy of the plane gate is not enough to travel to the plane again, so let's close this place for the time being." ”

"It's a pity that this thing can't travel back and forth between two definite planes." Huang Xuan said with some regret: "There is no surplus value to exploit?" For example, how to make this face door shuttle back and forth? ”

"I don't have a research function." Lorraine said flatly

"I will, I will." Nick said excitedly: "As long as you upgrade two more levels, the level 16 advance base also has simple research capabilities." ”

Huang Xuan said a little strangely: "Didn't you say that not all bases can be upgraded?" ”

"I can't upgrade directly." Nick said without a little embarrassment: "Lorraine is a prospect base that has a complete configuration, and it is a base that is ready to carry out colonial aggression, although I am just an ordinary prospect base, but I am an 18-level advance base, and now you have blueprints, as long as you rebuild it, it is much less than building a new base." ”

Huang Xuan rolled his eyelids very directly, and said angrily: "How much electricity?" ”

"It's not much, about 100 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity is enough."

The cost of power generation in Furnas is slightly less than 0.3 yuan, and 100 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity is 30 billion yuan. ”

Nick replied in a very elastic voice, "Actually, after I am upgraded, I can still do a lot of things......

"Forget it." Huang Xuan sneered and said, "Just close this place, I'd rather close this place." ”

"I'm really sad, Master Huang Xuan......" Nick's voice echoed in the cave.
