Chapter Seventy-Seven: Construction and Evacuation of Tesla City

Ten days before the blizzard arrives in Tesla City, and fourteen days before it arrives in New London.

The temperature is minus 50°C.

For two days in a row, minus 80 degrees Celsius kept most of the residents resting in their rooms, except for some alcoholics who would go out to drink every day.

When the temperature returns to 50°C, people finally have the opportunity to go for a walk.

But when people went out, they were shocked by what they saw.

I don't know when the four robots have been fixed in the four directions of the low-lying ice wall, and the huge steam pipes extending from here carry the heat, and the construction robots below squeeze the steel specially built by the steel mill into the ice wall, and lay stable anchors at intervals

Their mayor, standing on a robot, welded the joints of the steel walls, and from a distance, they could see the fires stretching out in a regular manner, fixing the walls.

For half a day, people were at their doorstep looking at a wall where the ice wall near the robot was covered with steel, and some places where the engineering robot could not be constructed, there were engineers working on the support.

Dressed in red robes and carrying tool kits, the apprentices smoothly walked smoothly through the construction supports on their prosthetic legs, helping the engineers lay the lines.

In every place where people work, there is a steam hub to ensure that the temperature is right.

Except that the wind was blowing a little hard, it hurt people's brains, and there were no other problems.

Some curious people walked under the ice wall to watch, after all, it was too tired to stay indoors all the time, and this kind of construction scene they had never seen before was even more attractive.

However, with the exception of the area where the Ice Wall Rig is located, the road is not blocked, and the area below the four Wall Robots is located near the Ice Wall has been fenced with warning signs painted on them.

People can only stand behind the fence and watch the huge project go on, with puzzled looks from time to time.

Some have found that the rail station is also constantly transporting steel to the low-lying ground, driving foundations into the perimeter of the buildings near the rail station and erecting a high wall.

This obviously encompasses all the buildings outside and inside the low-lying area, and does not make people worry about who will be abandoned under the blizzard.

Within one day, a quarter of the ice wall and all the foundations and stabilizing anchors under the ice wall had been completed, and Li Jianghao's hand holding the holy sword was about to collapse, and after putting away the holy sword, his fingers had been in a state of virtual grip and could not recover for a long time.

As for explaining to the public, the engineers couldn't wait to make up the reason, and it wasn't a lie anyway, it was a thermal insulation device to ensure that the temperature inside was maintained in the event of a blizzard.

It's just that they didn't explain how it works to these people, and they wouldn't even know that there was a transparent dome on their heads from that day onwards.

Over the next three days, Li Jianghao repeated the process, completing the construction of the entire steel wall, with towering minarets extending in four directions on the low-lying ground.

There are electrically driven opening and closing devices and backup wiring between the four minarets, and two engineering robots that have been converted into crawlers travel around the entire ring without interruption, ensuring that there are no accidents.

The steam engines hidden in the four wall robots are working at full capacity, and the snow collected from the outer perimeter of the minaret pours directly through special pipes, after all, the last thing this place needs is snow.

Inside, it looks electric. Outside the four main pipes of the steam are tiny arrays of steam that release heat from the low-lying ground.

The weather of minus 50 degrees Celsius was forcibly lifted to minus 30 degrees. If it weren't for the fact that the dome had not been built, there would still be cold winds.

Otherwise, according to the current heat level of the Portal, people can already move freely directly outside wearing only a single suit.

There are still six days left before the blizzard arrives in Tesla City, where the temperature is about to start changing.

Li Jianghao gave the order to dismantle all the outposts in the field, and finally rescued a batch of supplies in Tesla City before abandoning it.

The third wave of refugees arrived as scheduled, and many of the medical clinics that had been prepared for a long time performed amazingly, staying up all night to treat the seriously ill.

Of course, there are many severed limbs of patients who are disposed of and incinerated.

A drunken guy went out and saw the doctors dealing with the severed limb, and was so frightened that he howled all night in the middle of the night and was invited to tea by the guards.

With the end of the third wave of refugees, the Lighthouse was able to discover several survivor settlements that were unable to make it to the Portal on their own.

Three idle scouting teams quickly set off to escort the survivors to the Energy Tower.

The day after the evacuation of Tesla City, the first part of the blizzard touched the area, dropping the temperature to minus 80 degrees Celsius, and gradually decreasing.

In the extreme cold, the last remaining unmaintained metal building became fragile and covered with a layer of frost.

Soon, it will become a city of ice, and no life will survive in it.

As for the landing of dreadnoughts in the distance, it was already completely covered by a blizzard.

As the survivors continued to enter, the population of New London continued to break through the 900 mark, reaching 924 people.

Although he did not achieve the goal of breaking 1,000, Li Jianghao was also very satisfied. He has saved as many people as he can, with a clear conscience.

The next step was to deliver the silica-rich stones dug up in advance to the walls in the middle of the night, before the outpost was demolished and rebuilt.

It took an extra day for the new shearer to collect enough stones, because most of the other stones were scrap, and the glass made from the extracted material was too weak.

For the sake of safety, Li Jianghao first laid a stable device over the wall to prevent falling rocks or glass domes from suddenly shattering and falling debris, and also used to cover his movements when he opened the big one.

After making sure that most of the residents were asleep, Li Jianghao held the holy sword in his hand, and the drive appeared on his waist.

The Storm Condor Drive was inserted into the corresponding creature slot, and the giant holy sword shrunk the moment it was inserted into the drive.

Li Jianghao moved his fingers and pulled out the holy sword.

"Flame draws the sword!"

"When the Condor and the True Red Sword intersected, a tornado roared!"

A huge flame dome covered the entire city, and the stones piled up behind it were melted and channeled by the wind to cover the flames.

The huge dome took shape in an instant, and as before, no excess temperature leaked out.

Most people only feel a flash of red light in their sleep, and nothing is unusual.

After that, there will be no more cold winds and snow falling.

For this small ecosystem maintenance device, Li Jianghao can only achieve heat preservation and wind protection at present, and it is still far from the real return of spring.
