Half a century after enjoying the blessings, mankind has been busy and has invested its productive forces in three major projects.

The first project, which is the most important project, is to push the moon and directly destroy the Devouring Empire, which is the best result.

The United Nations adopts a composite propulsion scheme of stellar-class nuclear bomb + nuclear fusion planetary engine.

They are going to spend half a century producing millions of nuclear bombs and burying them on the moon in the form of ultra-deep wells.

Between the nuclear bombs, the distance between the up, down, left, right, front and back is about 5,000 meters, like a neatly arranged parade phalanx.

Sufficient spacing ensures that a stellar nuclear bomb with a power equivalent to 200 million tons of TNT will not destroy other nuclear bombs when it explodes.

A nuclear bomb explosion will blow up rocks on the surface of the moon, which can escape the gravitational pull of the moon, and some of the material can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per second, which will have a huge propulsion force on the moon.

Until now, the physical creations of human macroscopic beings, except for the Parker probe, which accelerated to 200 kilometers per second by the sun, the fastest speed is the manhole cover that was blown away by a nuclear bomb, with an estimated speed of up to 70 kilometers per second.

On the Moon, millions of large nuclear bombs will blow up bigger and more manhole covers.

At the same time, the United Nations intends to build hundreds of fusion engines to serve as steering engines.

These engines will provide a certain amount of steering force for planetary missiles at the beginning of the lunar cannon program, saving important nuclear bombs until the engines are blown up by a man-devouring nuclear missile.

Devourers can destroy engines with missiles, but they can't destroy millions of nuclear bombs buried deep in the ground in a short period of time.

Big Tooth once asked suspiciously: "Why don't you use the fusion engine to propel the moon?" A violent nuclear explosion could destroy your shelter. ”

The marshal who carried out the construction task explained it this way: "Mankind has enough capacity to produce nuclear bombs and transport them to the moon, and after the shelter is built, we can even move the entire production line of the nuclear bomb to the lunar shelter, but we do not have the ability to produce and transport enough planetary engines, that thing is really huge." ”

Compared with half a century ago, the way human beings entered the universe has improved, but they still rely on chemical rockets, at most, chemical power has become nuclear power, so the efficiency of transporting materials is very low.

In fact, nanomaterials have long been mass-produced, and space elevators also have design drawings, but they have no application and are strictly confidential.

Big Tooth thought about the lunar planetary engine with a diameter of tens of kilometers and a height of several thousand meters, it was indeed a behemoth, and at this moment, human civilization did not have the ability to migrate to extraterrestrial planets on a large scale, let alone transport massive supplies to the moon.

So, he believed it.

The second project is to build a shelter on the other side of the moon, and in order to convince Big Tooth that human civilization really intends to use the moon as an escape ark, the United Nations intends to build three underground cities large enough to accommodate half a million people.

The third project is the exploration of the earth, which is not an ordinary exploration, but a super project that will penetrate hundreds of kilometers deep into rock formations and mantles.

Devouring the Empire's resources on the planet's surface is just a rough idea of what to swallow in a resource-rich place, so a detailed resource exploration map is needed.

Their main target is the Earth's core.

Devourers can't collect the inner core of solid metals, but they have the means to collect the outer cores of liquid metals.

The super drill is like a needle tube that pierces the shell and white of the egg and draws directly from the yolk.

……

At the end of the twenty-first century, the Devouring Empire is still thirty years away from the solar system.

Big Tooth travels to Earth on a human transport ship to inspect exploration work.

The random sampling took place in Africa, which is a mega-industrial base.

Drilling into ultra-deep formations is not easy, and the deepest hole drilled by human civilization was still held by a 12-kilometer hole on the Kola Peninsula over a decade before the geoengineering was carried out.

However, with the current technology of human beings, it is not enough to build a supporting industrial base because of a caving.

You must know that there are more than 10,000 cavings, and each cavern is equipped with an industrial base, and there are more than 10,000 industrial bases on the earth.

Big Tooth also asked this question, and the Secretary-General explained: "Deep underground there are abundant mineral resources, and we intend to extract some of the resources while digging the pits and process them into accessories for lunar shelters." ”

"The more shelters, the better, which requires a lot of resources and an industrial system, and the existing industrial power of mankind, the metal resources on the shallow surface, is no longer enough."

……

Stepping out of the transport, Big Tooth choking on the foul, hot air and coughing, he yelled at the hateful bug and put on a special filter helmet.

The base is full of people wearing exoskeletons, some wearing military exoskeletons to maintain order and supervising labor, and some people wearing civilian exoskeletons and doing hard physical labor.

Big Tooth inspected the circle and asked sympathetically: "A lot of insects have died, right?" ”

The Secretary-General nodded and said in a lamented voice: "Over the past 20 years, more than 700 million people have died of unnatural causes, deaths from disease, accidents, suicides..."

"Fortunately, we already have the technology to synthesize starch and protein, otherwise the environmental damage alone would be enough for us to eat a pot."

"Ten years ago, thanks to the technical data of the Bojiang people, a breakthrough was made in human genetic engineering, and the new human modification allowed us to adapt to the increasingly harsh environment of the earth."

Big Tooth saw that someone had broken his hand, but he didn't cry, his face was relatively normal, and there was even a hint of a smile.

A few minutes later, he was carried away by paramedics.

"How can he still laugh?"

"We have to numb the population, genetically modified to limit the secretion of hormones," the secretary general explained. ”

"His smile stems from the fact that he can rest, but he can only recuperate for half a month, and then he will return to his post to continue working, and we are now using a mandatory ten-hour work system every day, no way, the amount of work in the three plans is too large."

"In fact, there are many people like him, who have disabled themselves, just to rest for half a month, and they all want to return to the beautiful virtual world, which makes us have to legislate against the behavior of 'intentionally harming ourselves'."

"Fortunately, there has been a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, and it is expected that within five years, machines will be able to replace humans."

Big Tooth stood on a high place, looking out at the huge industrial base, full of small insects that were numb like machines.

"Won't there be little bugs to resist?"

"Yes, why not? It's just that the nuclear power plant, the factory that synthesizes starch and protein, the weapons, the army, are all controlled by us, what can they resist? How did they resist? ”

The Secretary-General's expression is becoming more and more frenzied, and there is hatred in the depths of his eyes, and human civilization will make you pay.

"Three months of the Earth Vault, 1.5 million Noah's Ark places, give all these places to the army, and we can maintain an army of 1.5 million people! Indirectly control 1.5 million families to follow order! It's a huge group! ”

"Differentiation is what we do best."

"Poor little worm~" sighed, Big Tooth walked to the elevator leading to the underground.

The drilling diameter is 30 meters, like a cylinder, a tube is sleeved with a tube, and the rail elevator is set in the mezzanine.

Due to its size, Big Tooth can only take the central elevator, which has the largest freight volume.

The elevator descends 500 meters to the first floor, which is a large space where most of the machinery has been dismantled and moved to the next level, leaving only the air purification system.

In order to avoid collapse caused by excessive pressure, the elevator is like a staircase, layer by layer deep into the ground.

Continue the descent, to make a transfer.

Seventeen elevators in a row, descending eight kilometers, Daya came to a construction site.

The construction site is very large, because the ground is hot, the rock is not good thermal conductivity, and the deeper it is, the hotter it gets, and the more life-sustaining equipment is needed.

There are nuclear power plants, drilling rigs, and the furious roar of machines echoing in a near-hermetic environment.

Big Tooth yelled, "You're too slow! ”

The secretary general said helplessly: "There is no way, this is a rock, the drill bit will wear out, drill too deep, the torque of the machine will twist the transmission rod, we can only use the stupid method of digging a little and falling a little." ”

"Our alloy technology is so poor that if you are willing to give us technical support, we should be able to complete the task in a few years."

"Hehe, this is impossible, in giving you twenty years, if you can't complete it, I'll do it myself, if you can complete it, I'll fight for you to be a slave, which is higher than the status of poultry, we devour people because of the size of the body, some things do need to be done by small insects."

Big Tooth didn't like the environment, and it was so hot that he prepared to go back to the surface.

He asked as he walked: "Little worm, even if you can dig a hundred kilometers of deep pits, what kind of exploration resources do you use around you?" ”

"Electromagnetic waves are heavily attenuated in the earth."

"I don't know about the technicalities, but we'll give you a resource map..."
