Chapter 395: Pollution and Mutation
Without the filtering of the artificial light mask, the entire sky in the distance was shrouded in billowing red clouds. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As far as the eye can see, there are patches of dirty soil, which are obviously not naturally formed, and occasionally there are one or two ditches that have not yet dried up, and the shallow water in them is faintly emitting colorful fluorescence, which at first glance is polluted by excessive radiation.
What's even more terrifying is that in such a harsh environment, there are still groups of plants on both sides of the road, but from the distorted, deformed appearance and color, it is obvious that they are mutated varieties, not only can not be improved, but continue to pollute the earth like toxins.
Sitting in the special commuter car of the Blazing Agricultural Company, in the middle of the carriage, witnessing all this through the window only the size of a grapefruit, Zhang Longchu was silent for a while, pouted and said to Jin Xiuzhen beside him: "Wow, the scenery outside Farrag City is really unexpectedly spectacular.
No wonder you just said that you didn't want me to mess up my mood on the first day of my vacation in Senlan. ”
"Actually, it's not just that I'm afraid of messing up your mood," Jin Xiuzhen said with a bitter face: "I don't want to go out of the city to see all this, so every time I go to Blazing Farm to choose goods, I can delay it."
But the strange thing is that once you go out of the city, you can't help but want to see it. ”
What she said was a little contradictory, but Zhang Longchu understood this kind of psychology similar to Stockholm syndrome very well, and shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not surprising, people's thoughts are originally subtle, so bizarre..."
As he spoke, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black beetle at least a meter tall with its fangs exposed, bursting out of the strange bushes on the side of the road, and couldn't help choking.
Then he saw a thumb-thick laser beam on the roof of the car, piercing and exploding the beetle from head to tail, melting into a pile of rotten meat mixed with outer bones, Zhang Longchu opened his mouth, frowned and said: "Miss Xiuzhen, did you see the big insect just now, is it that the insects that live in the wild in the main plane of Senlan are so big, or is it a mutant variety?" ”
When the words landed, before Jin Xiuzhen could speak, Adom, who was sitting opposite, replied with a heavy face: "It's a mutant variety."
Now the environment on the 173 auxiliary planes of Senlan that still has development value is fine, but because of the corrupt fungus blanket laid by the Red Cloud invaders;
the contamination of the nuclear weapons that we Senlan people were forced to use in order to resist their invasion;
As well as the fact that both sides have no time to deal with it in a state of war, and can only let it decompose, leak corpses and mechanical wreckage, more than half of the area of the main plane itself has been severely contaminated, and the situation we see now is considered light.
Humans and animals generally cannot survive in such a harsh environment, but some highly tolerant plants, and some insects that can heal themselves even if their bodies are cut in half, and can survive in highly toxic agents, have slowly adapted to this extremely harsh environment, and have continued to mutate and multiply from generation to generation, and now the wild has completely become their territory. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Longchu finally understood why the commuter car used by the employees of an agricultural company to and from work would make it look like an armored vehicle, and it was also equipped with a light combat vehicle as an escort.
However, after a mystery was naturally revealed, another question arose in his mind, that is, how could there be an economic unit as a farm that is highly dependent on the environment in such a heavily polluted environment as the window.
With such a puzzle, Zhang Longchu sat in a special commuter car and trekked for nearly an hour, and finally came to the farm set up outside the city by the Blazing Agricultural Company.
It is a huge steel fortress with a diameter of more than 10 kilometers, the outer shell is a round arch, the surface is densely covered with cannon barrels, alloy covers for the entrance and exit of aircraft, and the inside is completely like a high-tech military base.
As the flow of people got down from the carriage, looking at the flying saucer-like fighters, medium-sized tanks, and metal giant mecha warriors parked in the distance, Zhang Longchu was stunned for a moment, looked at Jin Xiuzhen and blurted out: "Miss Xiuzhen, are you sure this is a farm, not the forward position of some kind of regular army garrison in Senlan?" ”
"I knew you would be surprised," Kim so-jin explained with a smile when she heard this, "I couldn't believe it was a farm when I first came here."
However, the situation of the main plane of Senlan is very special, because the arable land is polluted, and the farm can only be built deep underground like the city.
And because although food is very inconspicuous, it is one of the most important strategic materials, if there is no food, no matter how strong the army, the advanced civilization will collapse in a very short time, so in order to ensure the safety of the food supply system, the central government of Senlan will send special defense troops according to the size of the farm..."
Hearing this, Zhang Longchu's face showed a sudden expression, and he nodded and interjected: "So that's the case, although it is a bit exaggerated to use such a strong armed force to protect a farm in the eyes of our earthlings, but if you think about it carefully, it is very reasonable in Senlan, after all, the most basic living conditions for people are to eat and drink." ”
As he spoke, 10 meters away from him, a 20-meter-long, 5 or 6-meter-wide floor clinging to the metal wall slipped away silently, revealing a bright underground passage, and groups of tired off-duty workers leaned on the right side, noisily walking out.
At the same time, the workers who came to work on the farms outside the city consciously walked down the passage to the ground, and Zhang Longchu, Jin Xiuzhen, Sha Sato and others were mixed in, and disappeared after a while.
The Blazing Agritorium's farm outside of Farrag City is divided into hundreds of levels like an underground city, but the silent dungeon on each level is more than 10 meters high, but about 5 meters.
In the height of only 5 meters, the breadth reaches millions of square meters of space, the ground according to the area of about 50 steps square as a unit, laying thousands of fields formed by scientific filtration and nourishment of fertile soil, between the ridges of the field set up countless mechanical arms, workers stay in the planting room through the monitor to understand the growth of crops, you can manipulate these manipulators to pollinate, fertilize, loosen the soil, harvest, picking and other actions, it can be said that it is very convenient;
In mid-air, a large artificial canopy covers the entire ceiling made of rocks, mimicking the gentle light emitted by the sun, allowing crops in the farmland to photosynthesize and thrive.
After going deep underground, tasting food samples, and signing a new order contract with satisfaction, Zhang Longchu followed Jin Xiuzhen and was invited to visit the newly developed fruit field with Shasa and Todna.
On the way, he sighed at the scale of the underground farm of the Blazing Agricultural Company, and also sighed at the fact that the Senlan people were forced by the Red Cloud invaders to live this life of farming deep underground, and couldn't help but whisper: "Such an underground farm needs a large nuclear power station to supply just the energy consumed by imitating the sun's rays, and the planting cost is unimaginable."
And the present of Senlan is likely to be our future, if one day the earth is slowly polluted into this ghost, I really don't know if our civilization will become extinct..."
Before the words fell, Grace Sat, who was walking in front of Zhang Longchu, suddenly interjected: "Mr. Xin, the energy of our farm is completely supplied by geothermal heat, and after building an energy circulation system, compared with the original ground planting industry, the comprehensive cost has only increased by less than 3 times.
In addition, you can rest assured, the adaptability of human beings is very strong, and if one day the main plane of the earth also becomes Senlan because of the invasion of the Red Cloud invaders, I think your civilization will definitely be able to hold on. ”
"I hope so, Ms. Gracette." didn't expect Grace to take the initiative to solve her doubts, even if she was showing off, Zhang Longchu still responded politely.
After that, he hesitated and asked, "There's a question I've been wanting to ask since just now.
I have read the entry introduction of the Senlan main plane on the earth network, saying that the number of Senlan people has a total of more than 56 billion, which is of course an astronomical number, but just now Mr. Adom said that there are 173 auxiliary planes with a good environment on the Senlan main plane, so that if you convert it, a sub-plane only needs to accommodate more than 300 million people to divide all the population.
Why don't you give up your native planes and all of them emigrate to the secondary planes? ”
Hearing this, Grace frowned and said, "The relationship between the Red Cloud Invader and a complete plane is somewhat similar to that between cancer cells and the human body.
It is not terrible that there are cancer cells in the human body, but what is terrible is that if you don't fight it with all your might, it will devour normal cells at a fission rate, and eventually assimilate all the cells, turning the human body into a corpse composed entirely of cancer cells, so any weak retreat can lead to devastating consequences.
Because the living environment is too harsh, he gave up the native of the main plane and retreated to the auxiliary plane, which is really a..."
"I understand," knowing that if he was one step too late, he might be bloody with sarcasm, Zhang Longchu hurriedly interrupted Gracett's words and said: "It's me who didn't think it through, and asked uh, how to say it, well, cowardly question."
However, we earthlings and Red Cloud invaders have only been fighting for 10 years, so we don't have much experience..."
As he spoke, he saw Sassato, who was walking beside Grace, take out his ball communicator from his coat pocket, and after whispering a few words to someone, he suddenly stopped.
"Xiuzhen, I'm afraid the contract we signed just now can't be fulfilled," and then Shasa Sato slowly turned his head with a heavy expression, put away the communicator, looked at Jin Xiuzhen and said in a deep voice: "The war is coming, as a logistics supply provider for the military, every grain and every vegetable of the Blazing Agriculture Company will now be controlled by wartime laws and regulations, and cannot be sold in any non-front-line area."
However, we will compensate for your losses in strict accordance with the provisions of the contract, and I hope you can forgive me. ”
