Chapter 276: The Super Graveyard is nutritious
At minus 22 degrees, the sea breeze is howling and the snow is flying.
The Magic Eagle is not affected by the bad weather, it is a cloud of energy, a looming light and shadow, it flies in the air about 600 meters above the ground, it can hover and soar, and it can also fly like a peregrine falcon or a petrel.
It can see the ground very clearly, as if it were seeing from a height of 2 meters.
Kane saw the harbor with the help of the eagle's vision.
It was a grand picture with the theme of ice death, enough to shoot long shots for more than half an hour without repeating it.
Kane roughly calculated that at least 200,000 people had died here, and judging from the large-scale ice sculpture patterns at the scene, it was supposed to have been hit by a bomb cyclone.
In today's climate, bomb cyclones are the number one killing weapon.
The bomb cyclone that exploded here was not only large-scale, but also the explosion height should be tens of meters, and it formed an ultra-low temperature in an extreme time, thus constituting this terrifying effect like a meteorological weapon strike.
Looking at the situation, at that time, a sea trip was being organized here, and a large number of people gathered at the port, materials were being moved, and people were queuing up to board the ship.
Then the bomb cyclone suddenly happened, and most people froze to death before they even had time to figure out what was happening.
A small number of people panicked and tried to dodge, but after running three or two steps, the water in their bodies completely froze.
Kane estimated that the ultra-low temperature at that time should be below minus 120 degrees to have such a terrifying effect. It is necessary to look at the situation on the ship to further determine.
Sighing, Kane drove to the port, and on the way, he saw more frozen people.
They are the ones who die more painfully, and the cold pursues them relatively slowly, and has more time to feel the horror of death.
Kane didn't know how many people had escaped the sudden catastrophe. The only thing that can be said for sure is that the living people left here without looking back, they should have collapsed with fright, most of them probably don't even have the cognitive concept of a bomb cyclone, and it is not strange to regard it as a heavenly punishment.
The death of a large number of adults will only make Kane feel heavy, and the death of a child will make him feel tragic. The sound of the howling of the cold wind is like the wailing of countless dead, the frozen scene, and countless ice sculptures make the whole city exude a strange and terrifying atmosphere.
To tell the truth, Kane would rather face a killing battlefield full of corpses and rivers of blood, and not far from facing this kind of ice sculpture hell that truly records too many moments of death.
However, despite his low mood, he still had the patience to complete a series of operations on this trip.
Steam cores, sure enough, are still in large quantities.
The boxed energy tower parts, too, can be put together in a complete set.
Steam robots, too, are more mature in technology than he expected, and their intelligence uses a strange black technology, mechanical computers.
After deconstructing the robot, Kane discovers that this kind of AI, built on a mechanical computer, actually has a trained hound-level IQ.
Steampunk black technology has reached this level, and the technology of the origin world in 1945 cannot be compared in any way. This is at least the level of artificial analog intelligence at the end of the 20th century.
As for the bionic structure, it is very ordinary, in line with the silly and rough characteristics of the hair system and the steampunk style with many pipe valves.
Its appearance looks like an iron spider, such a mimic object, Kane gives 9 points, and the mimic reduction degree gives 7 points, which is already very good, although the movement of the eight legs is slightly slow, but it is relatively smooth and coherent, such a technology origin world has not been able to do it in the early 21st century.
Kane pays attention to the steam black technology in this world, so naturally he can't just focus on strange creations, he will also pay attention to more basic subjects, such as material technology.
If you want to cope with the extreme cold crisis, general steel materials and insulation materials are definitely not enough. If you don't have the skills to do this, you don't need to run to Greenland, and you may be able to survive by digging hard.
After all, digging down can increase the temperature by 3 degrees per 100 meters, and the effect is even better after digging into the mantle layer. As long as the planet's magnetic field is normal, it means that the Earth's core is functioning normally, and geothermal heating is a way out.
Kane still doesn't understand that the magnates chose the polar regions instead of digging holes in the ground, but through the search of Lancaster Harbor, he has basically figured out the technology mastered by the magnates.
He saw composites for insulation, and the cross-section of the material was porous, like a coral reef.
He also saw a more advanced sandwich insulation design. Sandwiches are formed between the composites and then filled with inert gas, which is not comparable to vacuum sandwiches, but is more powerful than normal air sandwiches.
A rough calculation shows that relying on these technologies does have a greater chance of surviving in the extreme cold crisis. But this high-tech creation, if not laboratory-grade, is bound to be produced in small batches.
Depending on the situation, the magnates are indeed ready to sacrifice more than 80% of the population.
Kane also learned through scattered information such as logbooks, diaries, and shipping lists that the high-end materials that Lancaster Port was preparing to transport were not ordered by the magnates, but ordered by a combination of forces such as several chambers of commerce.
Kane can understand this.
Volkswagen, in fact, is a very general concept.
If you analyze it in detail, there are also high and low levels of the public.
Connections, capabilities, information channels...... Each is a yardstick against which to measure the gap.
The difference between high and low determines that some people can fight for their future, some people can only be used again, and some will passively go with the flow, or even simply be abandoned by the group and wait for the judgment of doom.
The magnates had already figured themselves out by using their wealth and power that they were now living in a new city built somewhere in Greenland.
In the context of their rescue and a small group of people, middle class such as engineers, ordinary businessmen, and civil servants are bound to fight for themselves and their families.
They can't afford tickets for the Grand Ark, but they can use the facilities used to build the Grand Ark and find a way to build their own secondary Ark.
At the same time, the top elites will also try to continue to control and facilitate the creation of the sub-arks, and they will also need the population to serve them in the aftermath of the disaster.
In addition, they can make themselves understand that in addition to the use of power and money, there must also be mouth cannons, that is, promises. Officers and soldiers, supporters, more technical backbones, and healthy men and women who will take responsibility for the demographics of the future are all needed.
So the whole thing is actually interrelated and entangled, and it is impossible to carry it so clearly.
This also means a drag effect.
When the top magnates have built their own shelters, the secondary ones have almost been built.
If possible, secondary shelters will be further expanded to accommodate larger populations.
This is the country from the city fortress, the construction will not stop, and there will indeed be a large number of people who will die in the end, as for who lives and who dies, the lower the bottom, the more it seems that you need to look at your face.
The whole incident is probably such a trend of eating big and eating puree, and what he is facing now should be the end of the stage, the situation is becoming more and more tense, and batches of population deaths are already being staged.
"What a waste! Do you want to have a killing match against the harsh climate?"
After gathering a wave of technology and resources in Lancaster, Kane drove along the migration route further north.
He's already planning to turn on Terminator mode, and accordingly, his ride has changed.
In the land train, the iron pillar is transformed into a steam locomotive, and it is combined with a half-section of the modified train car, so that it looks very much in line with the block standard of the steam locomotive of this era.
The front of this steam-armored train is Kane's car.
There are also four columns of 20 cabinets and coffins inside, which look like lockers, but are actually coffins, two of which are against the wall of the carriage, and two of which stand back to back along the center line of the longitudinal axis. This is a bit reserved for the brain puppet.
Kane chooses one out of 10,000 young men and women from Lancaster's spectacular ice sculptures to create brain-plugged puppets in flesh and blood puppets.
This puppet has low energy consumption, and does not require the use of Enlightenment, but is manipulated like a marionette, which is multi-tasking.
This is also an energy-saving application. Because his mental strength will be restored after resting every day. Used to manipulate the puppet, the desired purpose is achieved, and the magic power is saved.
Although these puppets are dressed in ordinary woolen fabrics, they are clean and neat, and they are excellent clothes racks, so they naturally look very good.
At the front of the car is three carriages, the first two are stuffy tank cars that look sturdy, and the last is a dining car, all of which are widened and heightened models.
The stuffy tanker was carrying supplies collected from Lancaster Harbor, mainly ingredients, but not unusual, but the essence of extracted from various ingredients.
This series of concentrates took some extraordinary power, but Kane felt that it was an upfront investment that was necessary in order to make a profit. After all, if it is just ordinary ingredients, the capacity of two stuffy tankers is relatively limited. And the essence means that most of Lancaster's ingredients have been passed through.
The dining car can accommodate up to 60 people at the same time, and also includes a small kitchen.
The entire land train is cast iron, and on the side of the carriage, it is written in white lacquer - Heavenly Train.
After passing through the small town of Kendall, the Celestial Train welcomed its first guests, a group of migrants who had fallen behind, and looking at the personnel structure of the team, it was known that they were a vulnerable group that lacked the ability to survive and compete.
Seeing the heavy and majestic armored vehicles, these people instinctively chose to avoid them. Someone muttered, "How come there are still nobles who are behind us?"
"Those vampires have warm and comfortable vehicles, so what's the matter if they leave later? Maybe they'll have to stole the whole city before they leave. ”
"Okay, don't complain, save your energy and take a few more steps. The middle-aged man who led the team said and looked into the distance, and couldn't help but take a secret breath. The future of their team, just like the road ahead in the snowstorm, is confused, it is really a step by step, and one more day is a day.
After overtaking the group for some distance, the Heavenly Train stopped, and when the group caught up, they found that the people on the train had actually beckoned them to eat for free.
"Fresh and spicy soup, drink a bowl of warm day, it's free, come if you need it!" The appearance of the brain puppet is good enough, and the professional festival exercise is also full, shouting and working hard, and the smile is also very sincere, which makes it easy for people to have a good impression.
"Huh, and such a good thing?"
"Ha, I can already smell the fragrance, it smells so good. ”
"Go get a bowl. ”
"Wait!" the team leader stopped, "Don't eat the food given by strangers, children know it." This train is strange, I'm afraid it's not good. ”
"Then let me, an old man, try it, I'm poor and have half my life left, and if they want it, take it." ”
As a result, before the old man came back from testing the waters, more people participated. They all feel that they are barefoot, and they are rotten, so what is there to be remembered by others? More importantly, the taste of the thick soup is really fragrant......
