Chapter 33: The Truth About the Darkening of the Sun
Despite the dangers, other work in the camp still needs to be carried forward.
Although the direction of Winter House cannot be explored, the direction of Tesla City is still advancing.
The two reconnaissance teams can explore with all their might, and it is believed that they will be able to reach Tesla City smoothly in the near future.
Among the people brought back by the observatory, several engineers found Li Jianghao on the morning of the new day, claiming that there was something terrible to tell the mayor.
Li Jianghao, who knew the plot, of course understood what that incident was, and the observatory found that the sun was dimming, which was very likely to be the cause of this apocalypse.
However, Li Jianghao didn't take it to heart, and deliberately let these engineers finish all the talks in the control room, before saying that he would pay attention to the relevant phenomena, and for the time being, he still had to pay attention to the energy tower.
Li Jianghao knew that Bernard would not let go of this opportunity to make trouble, so he simply gave him this reason.
The system has said that the second-level world aberration is the highest level change in the initial mission world. So for at least the next 30 years, there will be no major problems with the sun in this world.
Not to mention the official trailer of "Frostpunk 2" 30 years after the timeline, there is a DLC plot of the border of the empire in the first generation of the work, telling the plot of the new home after the blizzard.
That's why Li Jianghao didn't panic at all. The only thing he needs to think about now is how people will react to the news, so that he can adjust his response plan.
"The sun in this world is really darkening, and it is expected that there will be an astronomical solar particle escape in sixty years, and it will not slowly recover until four hundred and seventy-two years later."
The sound of the system sounded at an inopportune time, and Li Jianghao sent the engineer away before he could sit down steadily, and almost jumped up from the seat.
"What do you say? Doesn't that mean that the world is hopeless and that my mission cannot be completed? ”
"The mission of the rescuers is only to survive the blizzard with enough people to survive, and astronomical natural disasters are not something you can solve. According to the rules of civilization, the hope of the birth of humanity that survived the blizzard this time could provide a standard fuel for the fire of civilization. In exchange, sixty years later, an even more powerful deliverer will come to solve the crisis. ”
Li Jianghao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, you can't finish your words at once and scare me to death." However, how many tasks do I have to complete to have the power to save the world from the catastrophe of the escape of the sun's particles. ”
The system said emotionlessly, "With the closest method to date, if the Savior has a clear definition of the Flame Sword Agni, then collecting eleven holy swords to summon the miracle of the starry sky, or having the omniscient book to modify the upper narrative of the world, can change the catastrophe that the sun is dimming." ”
Li Jianghao spread out on the chair and said weakly: "Where can I go to find other holy swords, let alone find the omniscient and all-powerful book." Forget it, don't worry about this matter for now, anyway, there is a savior of my higher level to take over, and I will solve this disaster first. ”
Bernard looked at Li Jianghao with his eyes open near the seat and twitched his body unconsciously, as if he was saying something, but he didn't open his mouth, he wanted to ask if this guy was sick. It is said that the pagan priests in the middle of nowhere prayed to their false gods twitched like this.
After adjusting the parameters of today's energy tower, Li Jianghao checked the guard station replaced by the barracks and the laying of the track leading to the steel bridge.
By the way, he pretended to approve Andrew's request to take a steam core for research, and produced a prosthetic limb in the gap between the shutdown of the factory's production robot.
The medical code route has been pointed all the way to the prosthetic, coupled with sufficient food supplies, and when the root treatment method triggers the plot after someone amputates the leg, you can avoid the plot of the amputee losing hope of survival and committing suicide.
After arranging all the way, all the citizens could see the mayor running around, busy flying, and production everywhere was not affected by the previous bad news, and when the road was in an orderly manner, people's hopes finally stabilized and began to rise gradually.
The corresponding dissatisfaction value, also under Li Jianghao's acquiescence, began to rise all the way to 25%. Bernard no longer knows how many alarmist statements have been revealed, and these rumors are growing underground, waiting for an opportunity to explode.
Li Jianghao was ready to solve the problem of the London Gang in one fell swoop when this crisis broke out. As the news of the darkening sun spread, some of those who were ready to leave the camp and return to London because they believed London was safe.
After all, the darkening of the sun is obviously more intimidating than this long winter. It makes people wonder that even if they return to London, where they wish to be safe, humanity will not escape destruction.
In the star system of the Frostpunk Age, the bright star in the prime of life burns, dispelling all the shadows of the cosmic void.
If one could look in all directions from the center of the star, ignoring the tiny planets of the home system and looking beyond the farther galaxies, one would find that the twinkling stars seemed to be covered with a veil of gray, blowing through one star after another.
And the star itself is in the path that this veil is about to sweep.
"That light shines brightly, and the stars shine brightly~"
"Coming with a miracle~"
......
There seemed to be a mournful male voice humming something, or, in the starry sky, there was silence.
There are no stars shining and no miracles coming.
"The hunters near the steel bridge organized an expedition to the coal mines, and more monsters followed the mines. However, they do not seem to have intelligence, and the traces from the coal mine to the steel bridge have been covered by wind and snow. The only thing to worry about now is whether they will notice the reflection of the lighthouse. ”
When Li Jianghao arrived at the orbital station, the workers there were listening to a hunter pointing to a simple map.
This hunter followed Li Jianghao to cut down bears and kill living corpses on the steel bridge, and he was the most experienced, so Li Jianghao pulled him back to be responsible for the psychological construction of the workers who had never seen monsters.
"That's a good point, Case. We can't afford to miss any hidden dangers, the lighthouse's signal in the direction of the Winter House has weakened, and hunters in that direction should be careful. ”
Li Jianghao approached with a smile, the hunter Keith immediately stopped, and the workers also got up to greet him.
"My citizens, I'm glad you're willing to learn about the dangers. As far as I know, a lot of people are still running away and reluctant to reach out to the terrible news. You are men of courage. ”
The workers asked:
"Mr. Mayor, Keith said that those guys can be dealt with as long as we have weapons, so why don't we rush directly into the Winter House to deal with those monsters, I'm willing to be the first to charge!"
"I'm also willing, it's better to take the initiative to solve the problem."
Li Jianghao looked at people's reactions with satisfaction and said with a smile:
"I admire your courage, gentlemen. But I have a safer approach, and your safety is my first concern. ”
