Chapter Seventy-Two: Preparing for Another Challenge

Someone interjected a little choked: "Don't talk about it, a lot of people here know what's going to happen." ”

Someone said: "Maybe there are more than one or two!" ”

Someone said angrily: "There is sensational speculation and nonsense here. Isn't it still far away? You knew it was going to crash into us? ”

"If you don't believe me, you can ask the old tower!"

A few people went to see Ta Ming, but Ta Ming didn't answer anything, as if he hadn't heard it.

Ivan asked Tamin, "That's all, right?" ”

"Hmm!"

Ivan said loudly to everyone: "Please be quiet, be quiet." The crowd began to quiet down.

"We're going to carry a probe into space with a collector. This probe will be used by us to meet the meteorite. The aim is to approach it so that it can be observed at any time when it is moving. At that time, the detector will send back the accurate data we need.

We're here not just to find out how meteorites will approach us. In the face of this problem, what should we do next and how to deal with it, it is best for everyone to be able to put forward some of their own opinions or opinions. ”

"Actually, it's very easy to do, we can also dig a hole in the mountain and hide it inside!" It was said.

"It's a good idea, just like they did." Someone chimed in.

"Why, what about these houses and facilities we built?"

"It's important to keep people first, then you can take care of the house, and besides, as long as you keep people, can the house be built in the future?"

"Where's our ship? You can't take it into the hole too, can you? ”

"Hey! Ay! That's right! Why don't we go out in the spaceship and hide before we leave this planet, and the facilities in the spaceship are also complete, and living in it is more familiar to us than in the cave. ”

"The ship needs propulsion devices for take-off, do we have one for the spaceship?"

"Why not, when I first designed it, I thought that some planets might not be suitable for long-term stays, so I prepared a propulsion device to leave again."

"Whew! That's good! ”

"I also have a way, why don't we build a submarine and dive into the sea, so that we can avoid the heat on the ground and the sea."

"No, when the time comes, if a big meteorite falls on the sea, the tsunami caused by the meteorite will not carry the submarine to any terrible place. No, no! ”

Ivan didn't interject from everyone, but listened patiently. Tamin, Ivan saw him using a communicator to record everyone's main points.

"Huh! Only then did I eat food for a few days with peace of mind, and it seems that I will have to eat those synthetic foods again in the future. As soon as this grievance came out, it hit everyone, and the scene fell into a state of calm for a while.

"Eat it! I don't think it will last long this time. When the disaster has passed, we will build a constant temperature shed and produce food again. ”

"You said lightly, where have you seen that after a big disaster, the environment can be restored immediately, at that time, the surface environment of this planet may not be terrible to the extent of terrifying, you still want to grow food, there is no door, then, maybe you have to wait. More seriously, maybe we'll never be here again. ”

"Don't scare people, I can't stand the scare anymore, or I'll have nightmares at night."

"Hey, hey! Hey! The laughing man laughed and imitated the man's words again: "Otherwise, I will have nightmares at night!" ”

Hahahaha! A few people couldn't stop laughing. A smile also flashed across Ivan's faceβ€”a very reluctant smile.

"There's more, there's still an idea to continue." Ivan opened.

"Gone, right? After saying it all over the ground, underwater, and in the air, there is only the microscopic one left, and that will have to wait until we become "The voice of speech is weakened." Ivan fixed his eyes on the man, and glared at him again.

Ivan leaned over to Tamin and said, "That's it!" ”

"That's it?" Tamin asked.

"Leave a few people and let's discuss it together and come up with an implementation plan, and then everyone will discuss the plan, what do you think? There's nothing practical going out of a chaotic scene like this, can it? Tamin nodded in acknowledgement.

Ivan said to everyone: "It will be here!" Except for the name I read and left, the other work, like the one in the thermostatic shed, is still as usual. If you also need to maintain and overhaul your equipment, please start a thorough overhaul of your collectors and detectors right away. If there are other projects, don't do it, and rest and wait for the notice. Wen He, Le Siya, Lang Dai, Zhao Li, and Ta Ming, you stay, and the others disperse. ”

A few days later, Ivan came up with their response plan.

1. After starting the collector into space, release a probe to go to the meteorite cluster.

2. Except for the continuation of grain production, all other projects will be suspended.

3. Use the existing vacant land to build all of them into a constant temperature shed, and open a large area of open space on the north side of the east-west creek to build more constant temperature sheds to grow grain, fruits and vegetables.

4. Find a place to dig a cave in a volcano as a self-help project.

5. Overhaul the spacecraft and prepare it as a self-rescue project.

6. In addition to leaving one person to manage the aborigines and facilities there, the rest of the mainland bases will be withdrawn to the sea base to build urgently needed facilities such as constant temperature sheds.

When Zhao Li saw this plan, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Oh! With so many projects, can we complete them in this month? ”

Wen He said: "The most important thing to take care of is, of course, the excavation of the cave and the maintenance of the spaceship, and the rest, if you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you will pull it down." That's what I'm talking about, right? Doctor? ”

Ivan nodded in thought.

Bai Min, who was still busy with geography under the cliff of the Fire Tribe, received a call from Dr. Ivan. Bai Min dodged the natives in his vicinity in the field and went to a remote place to answer the doctor's call.

The doctor told Bai Min that after satellite observations, it was determined that there was indeed a meteorite group attacking 'luckyly'. He told Bai Min that in order to thank the leader of Huoyue for his reminder, and also to enable these aborigines of the Huoyue tribe to survive this disaster, their friends, humans, would do their best to help them

After the call, Bai Min sat on the ridge at the edge of the field, thinking about how to talk to the leader of Huoyue. This was actually a very simple question for him, because after only a while, Bai Min made up his mind - he only said that Ivan knew about it, and the other things that helped the Fire Tribe were brought about by him himself.

He told the leader of the fire: After Dr. Ivan found out, he began to take corresponding countermeasures.

I also told Dr. Ivan to help you through this disaster as well. So what you have to do now is to plant the land well, gather and hunt more, and try to harvest more food. And the grain you harvest will be specially packaged by us, and at that time, it will not spoil even if it is left for a long, long time, that is, when you eat it much later, the food will be as fresh as when you first obtained it. Also, at my request, Dr. Ivan promised me that he would send a probe to help you gather food. Of course, you don't understand how to help, but I'll just mention to you, which is to use the remote sensing detection function of our probe to find ripe food for you, and to find large pieces of food for you to collect. In this way, you will no longer have to look for food based on your feelings, which will not only waste your time, but also your manpower at this critical time. I'll tell you exactly how to do it. I guess it's not complicated for you guys. At that time, as long as your people follow the guidance of our detectors, go to the designated place to collect.

Finally, I hope that we can plant crops on all the flat land of this valley, and when the harvest comes, we will have a lot of your food. Lead your men to cheer them on, we're running out of time. In such a large field, only one season of grain can be planted during this time. After that, we had to hide in the cave.

Before the catastrophe came, not to mention the base on the mainland, in Ivan's plan, it would eventually be vacated, that is, temporarily abandoned. But there are still a few people here, they are Chad, Huoman, and the three aboriginal women and a child. What's more, there is also a large area of aboriginal food here that is waiting to be harvested when it grows, and then handed over to the Huoyue them. These crops are inseparable from human management, so the base on the mainland left so many people until they had to evacuate.

As for what specific things Chade is doing here? What else could he do but serve the crops planted in the fields! Of course, he is using his thin body as an artist to contribute his strength to cross-border reproduction in the universe.

Why do you say it's cross-border? Let's remember that in the classification of the earth, it seems to be called the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the microbial kingdom. Whoever comes to the 'lucky' planet doesn't increase the alien biological world, and the "action" between the people of the earth's higher animal kingdom and the aliens of the 'lucky' alien biological world can only be called cross-border reproduction. I wish that with his unremitting efforts, he can succeed, which will not only make his happiness index soar rapidly, but also make the pace of intermarriage between creatures on different planets in the universe a big step forward.

Let's take a look at what preparations are being made at the base at sea.

On the site, which is usually used as a landing point for aircraft such as collectors, a renovated collector is placed under a special device that is bound to a collector on the bottom and a giant balloon that can be filled with helium. The helium balloon will automatically disengage and land after sending the collector to a certain height, returning to base. At this time, the collector at high altitude will use its engine to send the probe higher, almost 30 kilometers above the ground, where the probe will be released, the collector will return to the ground, and the probe will be able to fly towards the meteorite cluster.

The collector was sent high in the air, and after it had released its probe, it returned to the sea base.

Soon after, a huge spaceship was also driven from the base on the mainland to the direction of the sea base.

In the vicinity of the landing site of the aircraft, a large area of ground has long been reserved. On the large curve of the spaceship, a small regular or irregular surface of this place was pushed out of it, and then another piece was pushed out of it. The people on top of the improvised wooden ladder went in and out of the gaps in the blocks that had been pushed open. Inside, after some inspection after landing 'Luckyly', the ship has been largely shut down in the intervening years. The various equipment and facilities inside are also dull, cold and dim in place. Now, all kinds of lights and equipment inside are working again, some are on, some are flashing, some are displaying images or data, and some are showing various sounds.

There were also several figures dangling inside the boat.

In a grove of woods and shrubs and weeds north of the east-west creek, here were the largest number of earthlingsβ€”about a dozen men and women.

Some of the men were holding on to the chainsaws, and at the lower part of the thick trees near the ground, the chainsaw's toothed chains ate deep into the trees almost to the center of the tree. The toothed chains rubbed against the wood's wet, tough fibers, making a loud, even piercing whistle. Some men, one with an axe, or two with a saw, were dealing with the thinner trees, and the pieces of wood fell to the ground as the axes broke away from the trunks, and the sawdust flowed out of the saws. Shrubs and weeds, these plants could not escape the fate of being slaughtered, and around them, men and women cut down their bodies with various tools, and those who cut them were sent to a pile of burning flames, contributing to the increase of the flames and their lives. Some women were cutting branches from fallen trees, which were dragged into the fire by piles.

A collector (which used to fly in the air, but now had to put away its flight function and walk on four wheels on the ground) sent the pieces of wood that had been cut into large sections and sent them to the piles of wood in the distance, which were made up of many pieces, and when they arrived, the collector also sorted the pieces of wood that were delivered, the thick straight sections were a pile, and the thin curved ones were a pile.

Let's take a look at the place not far from the pile of wood, where the wood section is being further processed.

Another collector used its mechanical arm to throw pieces of wood into a large pool of water that had been dug in front of the pile of wood, and each time it lowered a section of wood into the pool, it stirred up a wave of whitening water. After the pool was covered with wooden pieces, a man used a wooden shovel to sprinkle white earth on the wooden sections and water in the pool from the white mound at the edge of the pool. The collector who threw the wood into the pool shifted again, and it went to the other side of the pool, where there was a pile of wood with white powder marks on the sections. After the collector dragged a section from the pile of wood and placed it on the flat ground, it stretched out its two mechanical arms, and the manipulator of one of the mechanical arms touched the collector and put on a strange device, after this manipulator pulled the wooden segment from beginning to end, the other mechanical arm turned this wooden segment like this, and a piece fell off the round surface of the round wooden segment, and the wooden segment revealed a rectangular flat surface from beginning to end. The collector continued to work on the cube, which had been made in four planes, until all the cut parts of the wood were the same size as a nearby pile of cuboid pieces, and then placed in the pile of wood with each side straight.

Not far away, a few men lifted a section from the rectangular wooden pile, placed it on a wooden bed made of very thick wood not far away, and then used the electric planer in their hands to push the rectangular wood from beginning to end, and a gap in the electric planer spit out countless unrestrained strings of shavings. The surface of the rectangular wood after the planer has been passed away is now as smooth as a mirror. Then two men would come, both of them wearing gas masks, and they would lift the smooth cuboid wood to a farther place, and lay it on a wooden bed, and then, one of them, with a jar with a mouth on it, would spray a liquid mist on the smooth cuboid section, while the other would help to turn the other side and continue to spray on it.

Occasionally, a third collector will emerge from the sky. After hitting the ground, it threw the pieces of wood it was carrying onto the first pile of wood and flew away.

Of course, the construction of a constant temperature shed is indispensable for the construction of building a constant temperature shed. Let's take a look at the factory in the easternmost part of the base laboratory and residential area.

Let's start with a production plant that produces glass, one of the main materials.

Thick, tall cement pillars with glass sandwiched between them, and herringbone wooden beams on top covered with planks, this is what a glass production plant looks like.

A car with a bucket comes out of an open factory door, it drives to four very fine piles of stones (three are only white and one variegated), shovels a stone into its bucket, and then enters the workshop, the whole car first goes up to a large wooden plank, and a person standing next to the wooden plank will look at the data displayed on a monitor not far away, and then remove some from the bucket of the forklift with a wooden shovel, or add some to the bucket from the same stone pile next to him, and then The forklift drove up to a large drum mixer and poured the stones from its bucket into the bucket of a mixer.

After the forklift has poured all four ingredients into the mixer, the mixer will send the materials into its own drum and spin for a while, at this time, the forklift has stopped under the chute that sticks out of the mixer's outlet. The bucket of the forklift feeds the mixture from the mixer into a large, deep, square, open-mouthed trough dozens of meters away.

After twenty or thirty minutes, from the top of the square trough, you can see that there is a red light emitting, and when you look closer, you can see that the materials in the trough have melted into a red liquid. At this time, a person on the side of the square trough used a metal rod to pick up a gate in the lower part of the square trough, and then saw a stream of red liquid, flowing from the gate to several square meters of large but shallow metal trough next to the bottom. After the liquid in one tank is almost filled, the metal rope of this string of shallow metal troughs is pulled in the distance, and the metal trough is pulled apart and replaced with an empty light metal trough.

When the liquid in the tank has cooled completely, a large piece of transparent glass appears in the shallow tank.

Let's talk about cement production plants. The cement factory is the same size and appearance as the glass factory, and is located further south of the glass factory.

Another forklift drove towards three large piles of material (two white powders and one yellow soil) piled up outside the factory gate. The forklift puts the two materials, one white and one yellow, into a special mixer. The reason why it is special is that when the mixer is spinning, the two ingredients added to it are still heated and emitting green smoke. Soon after, the heated material is added by a forklift to another (non-heated) mixer, and finally, a third white fine powder is added to it, and then it is swirled and blended.

The fine powder material that comes out of this is cement.

To the west of the island, on a steep slope to the south of the snow-covered volcanic mountainside, there is a cave with a sharp and round upper part and a flat lower part. On the left side of the cave entrance, a tent was set up more than ten meters away from the cave entrance, there was only one person in the tent, and there were very few things set up in it, only a table and a chair, a computer on the table, and a remote control in front of the computer's display screen.

More than ten meters deep into the cave, there is a strange-shaped machine more than half a person high, which stands in front of a stone wall more than twenty meters away. I don't know what kind of magic the machine has done to the stone wall opposite, and the whole large stone wall is red, like a large piece of freshly baked iron. Then, from an exit, the machine spewed out a number of small balls at the red stone wall, and each ball was smashed after hitting the stone wall, and the broken balls also spewed liquid and white smoke, and the red stone wall under the liquid and smoke immediately stopped being red. These small balls are evenly smashed against the stone wall, so the whole red stone wall is no longer red when hit by the liquid that shatters the small balls. Then, the strange machine spewed out a lot of small balls from another mouth, these small balls are also evenly distributed and hit the stone wall, and each small ball will explode after hitting the stone wall, and after the explosion, there will be a lot of rubble falling down, so that after that, the stone wall will be broken out of a layer of rubble, and finally, the stone wall that those evenly distributed balls will hit the stone wall, and there will be a large surface that completely collapses down. Soon after the dust and fine stone debris from the collapse of the stone wall filled the cave, a four-wheeled machine (forklift) with a large bucket in front of it shoveled the fallen pieces of rubble into its bucket, then exited the hole, and finally dumped the pieces of rubble from the bucket down the hillside to the right of the cave entrance.
