Episode 11, Chapter 4: Drawing Water

(PS: It feels terrible to run out of inspiration...... I also know why my inspiration dried up, and on the fifth day of quitting, I only smoked 10 cigarettes a day, and I felt like I was going crazy. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info)

Norton? The conversation between Marshall and Odysseus is not known to outsiders, but both of them know that these things cannot be hidden from everyone on the entire Noah No. 1, because of the mysterious virus, the entire Noah Noah No. 1 has almost completely stopped, and no one has left Noah Noah One for more than a month, all the intelligence systems, control systems, and internal defense systems are almost completely paralyzed, and everyone is in danger, where else can they take care of?

It was only after the recent disappearance of the mysterious virus that the situation completely changed, but it would be completely pointless to control the fact that many people might already know.

"It's all about energy." Norton? Marshall made a final conclusion to this conversation, he said categorically: "Since the air itself can breathe, but we are worried about viruses and microorganisms, then every time we need to introduce air, water, and food from the outside world, we use high temperature to kill the virus, this kind of thing is not too difficult, after all, we are only the first batch of troops, and if we want to transform the entire planet, we must wait until the interstellar gate is completely established, these are no longer up to us to care, the key is energy, high temperature needs energy, It takes energy to dig minerals from the outside world, and even to supplement oxygen to the spacesuit, and Noah 1's energy is running out, we have lost most of the radioactive minerals, and the remaining radioactive minerals will not be used for long, we must find the location of the radioactive minerals before the energy of Noah 1 is exhausted! ”

Of course, that is the medium-term goal, and the short-term goal is to replenish Noah Noah's water and food, especially water, which is what Noah Noah Noah needs most at the moment.

“…… Judging from the echo oscillation detection, there is an underground river area more than 200 meters down from Noah 1 and 3 kilometers to the east, and it is not a small underground river, basically the water source there is enough for Noah 1 to use, but the key question is, how do we draw water from there? ”

At the Battle Draw for Water meeting, Norton? Marshall and Noah 1's high-level personnel were all sitting together, and unlike the Hope, which was far away, there were no scientists in this room, and there were a few personnel, who also belonged to the technical work department.

Norton? Marshall said to the officers standing next to him, "Then Colonel Tengi will tell me about the battle plan this time." ”

A middle-aged yellow-skinned man among several officers saluted, he walked to the center of the podium and said: "As you know, the fresh water storage capacity of Noah No. 1 can still support Noah No. 1 for three days, and we must get enough fresh water within three days, this battle plan has been taken out by colleagues from the General Staff, the first difficulty is that the fresh water resources are far away from Noah Noah No. 1, although it is nothing from the distance of three kilometers from the unit, but this is underground, and the terrain is complicated, I won't talk about it, Moreover, the vertical distance is more than two hundred meters above our spacecraft, so it is definitely not a simple three kilometers to reach the water source. ”

"The second is those shadow creatures, since our staff began to make a battle plan, in the past three days, we have obtained about ten shadow creature corpses, as well as two living shadow creatures, under the dissection and experiment of scientists, we have roughly come up with the situation of this shadow creature, please take a look......"

Soon, the lights dimmed in the room, and an image appeared on the opposite wall.

The colonel named Tengjing continued: "This is an exoskeleton-like warm-blooded animal, yes, although it looks a little like a giant insect, but in fact they are warm-blooded mammals, and they are extremely intelligent, and they already have the most rudimentary ability to create, and we have even found preliminarily polished bone ornaments and stone knives and other things in their nests, and it is preliminarily estimated that such creatures already have the wisdom of primitive apes. ”

"The second difficulty we have to face is such a creature with rudimentary intelligence, first of all, I would like to remind you that there are quite a few such creatures, according to the current statistics, there are at least a thousand of this kind of creature near Noah Noah 1 alone...... In addition, their exoskeleton carapace has a foam shockproof structure, in the opinion of experts, it is this carapace that resists our bullets, and it needs to continuously hit at least seven or eight bullets in the same place in a row, which can destroy the shockproof cavity structure inside the carapace, and then it can be shattered, and before that, this creature is likely to have rushed into our queue with its speed and number, so our staff gives this creature an evaluation of ...... In a small and complex environment, it is extremely dangerous! ”

The people present all belonged to the middle and high-level personnel of Noah's No. 1 army, but because of the previous super virus incident, most of them had never fought with this shadow creature, and at this moment, after hearing Colonel Tengi's detailed description, especially about the running speed of the shadow creature, the strength of the body, the tearing force of the arms, and the specific strength of the body shell, etc., everyone present felt a chill in the vest.

This shadow creature presented in front of everyone is a super monster that can dodge bullets just by speed, the body can resist more than a dozen bullets, the arms can tear the shell of an armored jeep, and there are at least thousands of super monsters, in fact, this creature is stronger than the classic alien in science fiction movies, except that its body fluids are not strongly corrosive, this biological strength can completely match or even surpass the aliens in the movie!

“…… Therefore, our battle is not as easy as you imagined, and it can even be said that it is difficult, if you are not careful, you can not say that you can draw enough drinking water, I am afraid that even if you can come back, so take back all your ease, this is no longer the earth, even in the face of wild animals, we humans can not say that they have an absolute advantage! The more Colonel Tengi spoke, the more stern he became, and by the end of his life, he was even in a low voice.

"Well, all the difficulties and details have been told to you, and now will be the concrete steps of the battle to draw water......

The whole operation is divided into three parts, the first part is that Noah 1 uses superior forces and superior firepower to clear all the alien races within three kilometers of Noah 1, in the words of the General Staff, even a fly has to be exterminated for me, of course, if there is a fly on this planet.

The second part involves a rubber pipeline that is nearly five kilometers long, connecting Noah No. 1 and the water source, of course, although Noah No. 1 has a lot of materials, there is no rubber pipe of such length, and it is impossible for a rubber pipe of such length to go straight to Noah Noah No. 1, but there is no such great water pressure to let the water source flow up hundreds of meters to Noah Noah No. 1.

So the second part is very complicated, to establish three to five water ballast chambers between Noah 1 and the water source, use machines to increase the water pressure, draw enough water to transport to Noah 1, and this process requires a large number of technical staff, they are no better than soldiers, they have no combat power in the face of alien creatures, and these people are all real elites carefully selected from the earth, and dying any of them is an unimaginable loss, because of this, so before the second part, Only then did we have the first step to clean up the operation.

The first part is expected to be completed in two to three days, and the second part is expected to take about half a month, during which the water for Noah 1 needs to be transported by the military every day using modified vehicles, which requires a peaceful environment and absolutely no danger in some corners.

As for the third part is a long-term plan, after all, the rubber pipeline is not very reliable, for the time being, Noah No. 1 is basically unlikely to be lifted off, or at least within ten years can not be repaired, so this underground will be the headquarters and residence of human beings at least in the next ten years, this water source pipeline must use metal pipes, but this project is relatively large, it is estimated that it will take the next one or two years to complete the transformation.

“…… In this way, the first part of the water drawing operation will be officially launched at three o'clock this afternoon, with a total of six brigades and more than 9,000 people launched simultaneously, and the blue beret squad will serve as the spearhead to guide the direction of the large army and search for all medium and large creatures, and the rest of the troops will search and kill in a carpet manner. ”

As Colonel Tengi finished speaking, Captain Norton? Marshall also came out and said a few words of encouragement, and then the officers of the General Staff began to arrange specific tasks, such as which brigade controlled which area, which brigade was responsible for fire support or held on to the main road, what kind of weapons that the brigade carried, and so on.

Just when Noah 1 launched the plan to draw water, nearly 10,000 soldiers wearing spacesuits and weapons walked out of the spacecraft and headed for a three-kilometer radius around the entire spacecraft, inside Noah 1, a group of geologists were nervously discussing something.

"The geological exploration fault map has come out...... But why do I look at this geological fault map and feel a little strange? I don't know if it's my delusion...... Guys, have you discovered the location of the mantle layer? A scientist looked at the image in the computer, and he said very strangely.

The surrounding scientists also had such expressions, after all, the geological fault map in front of them was too strange. Logically speaking, a planet should be composed of the earth's crust, mantle, and core, and the earth's crust is like a hard eggshell, while the mantle is composed of a large amount of liquid magma, and the core is not shown for the time being, but the crust and mantle are certainly so.

The Earth's crust makes up the continental shelf and continental sections of the planet, like moving blocks floating on magma, which is the cause of earthquakes.

But the planet is still strange......

On the geological fault map, the existence of the mantle has not been found, so there is no so-called continental shelf and continental plate, and the entire planet's shell seems to be fixed all the time.

In other words, the underground space of this planet is safe and stable, and there is no damage caused by earthquakes and other factors......
