Chapter 12 The Refuge in the Garden of Eden
The third refuge is located in the middle of the blue and white basin, about 140 kilometers away from the central refuge, with a population of 4.4 million, and a key place for competition among all forces.
Because not only does geothermal heat exist here, but also high-quality coal and ilmenite!
There are not many places where energy, geothermal and minerals are available, and there are only a lot of places on the entire planet.
Titanium, whether it is a rocket or a spacecraft, and various machinery working outside the world, requires this metal.
Under extreme conditions, many metals will undergo physical denaturation.
For example, when iron is minus 200 degrees Celsius, ordinary steel is as fragile as shrimp chips. Ultra-low temperature reduces the activity between metal atoms and increases the rigidity of matter, so it is easy to break if it accepts external forces.
In this case, high-quality alloys are often needed to enable various machinery on the surface to operate.
At eight o'clock in the morning, the third refuge was already very lively.
Machines roar and workers are busy.
Everyone must work to get food for the day.
"Major news, today's overtime salary doubled!"
Inside the Third Refuge, on the ground floor, there is also a rocket-like super device docked.
It is called "Ark One"!
Its height is about 260 meters and its diameter is 36.6 meters, making it a veritable behemoth.
The chassis is equipped with four huge discs, which is the famous "Vlaki" nuclear fission engine.
Its propellant is heated by the solid fuel core, and its specific impulse capacity is estimated to reach about 800 seconds. The driving force of a single engine is 3 million kilos, which is 10 times that of Saturn V.
Only this thing can promote a super spacecraft of 82,000 tons.
"Woo--"
A train made of titanium alloy passes through layers of cold outside and enters underground shelters.
The workers unloaded the goods quickly, and there were a small number of passengers leaving the station. Everything was orderly and orderly.
Most of the supplies will be transported to the spacecraft through large-scale transport tracks.
Of course, the 82,000-ton mass spacecraft looks huge, but it is far from enough to bear the daily life of 500,000 people, and even 2,000 people is the limit.
The trump card that humans have in their hands is actually a natural formation after the high-dimensional membrane of the universe falls off - the small universe!
Ten years ago, after the sun fell into extra time and space, the earth fell into a permanent cold winter.
When military forces from various countries searched for resources on the surface, they discovered some strange spherical objects, like combination products of soap films and crystals, repelling normal substances close to them.
According to research, it was surprising: they were actually falling off cosmic membranes!
These "films" form unique three-dimensional worlds through self-curl.
In academic professional terms, they are called "Klein Universe Space".
Some small universes have a huge space inside and can be used to inhabit people.
Therefore, people spent ten years building a large refuge in the largest small universe.
It is named "The Garden of Eden"!
Only the Garden of Eden can carry the survival of 500,000 people.
Cabinet Prime Minister Jia Yiwei was waiting anxiously next to the spaceship.
Boxes of goods are constantly filled into the small universe.
As the train arrived, more and more powerful people gathered in the third refuge.
A large number of forces are concentrated here, resulting in the originally not-so-large place becoming a powder barrel. A slightest bit of Mars may cause a big explosion in this powder barrel.
However, population transfer must be under the witness of many forces. The shelter can only accommodate 500,000 people, and you can invest 100,000 or 20,000 less, and you can earn 100,000 less. But you must not enter more people, and no one wants their survival resources to be diluted.
"The army on the royal family is convening?" Jia Yiwei got a message and his brows frowned tightly.
"Yes, it should be the next train." A blond old man replied, from the Luochai Consortium and an ally of the Baliba Group.
The Luochai Consortium has controlled the media and the Internet, and also produced various guns and shells.
"Can you cut off the train tracks? Let them directly..." Jia Yiwei asked.
"Impossible... We still have a lot of goods that need to be transported into the small universe. If the train tracks are broken, how can the goods be transported?"
At this time, several leaders of Alpha Industries Group also got off the train.
"Hello, Mr. Jia." The leader asked with a smile: "Your royal family in Daxia Kingdom wants to start a war against all forces?"
Prime Minister Jia shook his head: "Who knows, after all, their leader is a prince who wets his pants. He loses his face and can do anything."
Everyone laughed.
Alpha Industry, formerly the military-industrial complex of a superpower in the Western Hemisphere.
In this era, the country disappears, but interest groups will not disappear.
Another consortium came here, some leaders of the Baliba consortium, who controlled the food production in various shelters.
"Hello, Lord Tillerson." Jia Yiwei shook hands with the tall man.
"Can I enter the small universe?" Tillerson said.
"You can transport supplies first, and you can transport as much as you can, but except for the necessary technical workers, the rest of the people are not allowed to enter for the time being."
Jia Yiwei deeply lamented that human productivity is too low, compared to the huge earth.
No matter how you transport resources, things in the small universe are just a grain of rice in the ocean and will be consumed in a few years.
Fortunately, the Ark spacecraft can fly in space for a long time. As long as you find a large-mass meteorite in the universe, it will be enough for humans to survive for a long time.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the number of powerful people who came to the Third Refuge from other places reached a thousand.
People talk carefully, mediate, find reliable allies, and prepare for a small society of 500,000 people in the future.
Batches of precious machinery are transported to the square by train. Most of these machinery are high-end materials before the end of the world and cannot be produced after the destruction of the global industrial chain.
It is also the foundation for various consortiums to settle down in the future.
However, since the diameter of the entrance and exit of the small universe is only 3.42 meters, some large machinery cannot be sent directly, so they can only find ways to disassemble the workers and then transport them to reassemble them internally. In this way, the speed is undoubtedly much slower.
Many powerful people showed anxious expressions on their faces.
No one knows how long the news that "the earth will be destroyed in three months" can last. It is likely that it will be widely publicized in a few days, triggering people's riots.
Must escape as soon as possible!
It was at this moment.
The next train passed through the tunnel and arrived at the third refuge.
A red flag was flying on the front of the car.
The expressions on people's faces gradually froze and their smiles gradually disappeared.
Chapter completed!
