Chapter 341 "The more capable you are, the more work you will do. The future is your era. If you don't worry about it, who will?"

Although they were twins and the babies were still quite grown, Jiang Caier chose to give birth naturally.

With her physique as a level 16 extraordinary being, the birth went smoothly. Two baby boys were born, looking 70% like Li Xiang and 30% like Jiang Caier.

As a father, Li Xiang naturally prepared the name early and spent a lot of time thinking about it. When a new baby is born, naming the child is the top priority of the family and must be done seriously.

The older brother’s name is “Li Yuchen”, nicknamed “Xiaoyi” (Yiyi); the younger brother’s name is “Li Zezhao”, nicknamed “Yangyang”.

They all have meaning.

Among them, "煜" is taken from "日以耀乎日，月以耀乎夜", which symbolizes the brightness of the universe. Because the end of the world is approaching, the sun will "go out", whether it is ordinary people or Li Xiang, they all yearn for light. Human beings don't know when they can find a new bright home. It can be regarded as in line with the characteristics of the times.

When the end of the world comes, many babies are born with similar names. "Ming", "Guang", "Liang", "Yang" and so on are popular. In a class, there are many children with these names. Although they are ordinary, they represent the hope in people's hearts.

It is like a fetus that has experienced several twists and turns since the pregnancy. During prenatal checkups, there are always various suspicious indicators that need to be rechecked and rechecked to protect the fetus, such as low progesterone, threatened abortion, Down syndrome screening indicates risks that need further diagnosis, umbilical cord around the neck, malposition of the fetus, renal pelvis separation, and lateral ventricle enlargement...

Then the child's parents will have great hopes that the baby can be born healthy and safe, so they give the baby a name with auspicious characters such as "康" (healthy) or "安" (safe), even if it is ordinary. At that time, the parents' only thought is this.

"Chen" is the location of the North Star, representing dignity and direction, and its meaning is self-evident.

The "Ze" in "Li Zezhao" means blessing all things. Considering Li Xiang's achievements in dredging rivers, protecting life and saving the earth, it is not excessive to name his son this name.

"Zhao" means open and aboveboard, and I hope he can stick to his beliefs in the darkness.

The nickname "Yangyang" symbolizes warmth and vitality, as well as new hope that sprouts in the end times.

After being discharged from the hospital, Li Xiang took Jiang Caier back to Lijia Village. Originally, the provincial government said they would send a helicopter to take them there, but Li Xiang waved his hand, saying there was no need to go through so much trouble.

All the things were put in the warehouse. Li Xiang got a conjoined twin stroller, the kind that can be used for sitting or lying down. After laying it flat, he let his two sons sleep in it and covered it with a cover. He pushed the stroller with one hand and held Jiang Caier with the other.

In fact, Jiang Caier could have walked down by herself, but since Li Xiang wanted to hold her, she let him do it.

Arriving at the underground garage, an ochre-colored light burst out. Amid the envious and amazed gazes of everyone, it sank directly into the depths of the ground, and soon arrived home.

As for Jiang Jianguo and his wife, they had already been sent here by Li Xiang.

In fact, despite the ice and snow and the inconvenience of transportation, there are still trains running, but there are fewer trains than before and the speed is slower.

In addition, even though the weather was extremely cold and the rivers were frozen, it was not a snowstorm every day. There were also flights. Otherwise, how could the leaders, teachers, and classmates in the capital come to the hospital to visit Jiang Caier?

Traffic between big cities is still possible, but it is inconvenient to go to remote rural areas because the roads are icy and it is easy to slip and cause traffic accidents.

And it's so cold that most people are too lazy to go out unless necessary.

I used to dream of traveling to the snow town, but now I can see the snow and play with ice right outside my doorstep, so who would go? Although Jiang Caier was in confinement, she had her mother with her, and the three daughters Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui to help her, so Li Xiang didn't have to worry about anything and was able to make time to participate in the preparations before the end of the world.

He was invited to the capital and participated in many important meetings. No matter which meeting, Li Xiang was undoubtedly one of the focuses.

In such occasions, he naturally had to speak.

It was impossible to sit in the back without being noticed. Moreover, his position was not at the back or in the corner, but on the stage, in the first row, right next to the center.

The seats were arranged in advance, and his name was on the seat, so he couldn't sit in the back even if he wanted to.

In his previous life, Li Xiang would have been nervous and stuttered. But in this life, at his level, as the strongest person on Earth, he could handle it easily.

Moreover, his good wife Jiang Caier helped him prepare the manuscript in advance.

What made the bigwigs attending the meeting envious was that no matter how big the meeting room was, even in the conference hall, Li Xiang did not need a microphone. He could speak casually and his voice could be clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.

His speech is full of energy, his words are clear and melodious, and his words are meaningful and elegant, which often makes people's eyes light up.

The topics of these meetings are nothing more than preparations before the end of the world.

For example, the construction of the underground city system, sharing of current military and technological achievements and prospects for research directions, resource reserves and people's livelihood security, international cooperation and crisis management, etc.

In terms of underground city construction, the country will accelerate the construction of a multi-layer underground city network. Simply put, 72 honeycomb city clusters will be built, each with a diameter of 50 kilometers, using a fractal structure (main city + 12 satellite cities), and a compression level of 12 crustal movement. If the satellite cities are listed separately, the total number of underground cities is 936.

There are 694 cities above the county level in China, including municipalities (4) + prefecture-level cities (293) + county-level cities (397).

Including the vast rural areas, 936 underground cities can accommodate 1.4 billion people.

This includes the Lijia Village underground base.

The Lijia Village underground city is also considered a main city, and there will be 12 satellite cities surrounding it to guard it, all of which will be under the command of Li Xiang.

There was a special allocation from the finance department, and all the money Li Xiang had spent before was reimbursed, and the property rights still belonged to Dark Holy Land Co., Ltd., but Li Xiang didn't need this little money, so he declined. He hoped to use the funds to build other dungeons.

Because of the large scale of the project, the national finances are limited and money is needed in all aspects.

Some people say, isn't it enough to just print more money? That's not the case. Currency is the embodiment of productivity. There is currency only when there are goods. To put it more abstractly, materials are money.

If too much money is printed, there will be inflation, and if too little money is printed, there will be deflation. This involves the theory of economics. Not to mention universities, even junior high and high school courses have taught this.

Speaking of this, Chinese education really teaches the art of slaying dragons. Therefore, the broad vision and high-level perspective of Chinese students are unmatched by students from other countries.

The leader praised Li Xiang for his integrity and no longer insisted.

The meeting also discussed the energy issues of the various underground cities. Energy is the most important aspect in the end times.

In the ice and snow, in the dark underground, without energy, it is impossible to move forward.

These underground cities will use nuclear energy, oil, natural gas or a combination of these methods for power and heating, depending on their geographical location.

Nuclear power and thermal power will be the mainstream in the future.

The sources of thermal power can be oil, natural gas, coal, etc.

Then there is the supporting underground industrial system, such as steel mills, arsenals, textile mills, pharmaceutical factories, etc.

There are also underground farms, ecological recycling systems, and a supporting subway transportation network.

The military and technology will naturally have to transform in accordance with the characteristics of the end times. For example, in the military field, the navy has almost given up and stopped developing, turning to the army and a small amount of the air force, various missiles, drones suitable for severe cold weather, reconnaissance aircraft, fighter jets, tanks with stronger protection capabilities, exoskeleton armor, more powerful individual weapons, more powerful artillery (microwave directed energy weapons, laser cannons, high-energy ion cannons, etc.), fuel with stronger cold resistance properties, and hydrogen fuel cells.

It is worth mentioning that the "hydrogen" fuel cell developed by the State Power Investment Corporation has successfully achieved stable power generation at minus 80 degrees Celsius at the Qinling Station in Antarctica. The original low-temperature cold start technology is unique and it is no exaggeration to say that it is far ahead.

The research and development results of the strange beasts captured before have not yet been released, but there has been progress and the first generation of experimental products, which is a quark deconstruction cannon, and then there is the Nuwa armor, which uses the bones of alien creatures and new materials to develop armor that is far superior to existing bulletproof vests and is much lighter.

Although Li Xiang has "Crystal Gold Armor", he made it by himself, so it is impossible for him to equip so many people. Moreover, the equipment made by his "Crystal Gold Armor" is very heavy, and not everyone can lift it.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After Li Xiang returned, he renovated and expanded the underground city of Lijia Village in accordance with the spirit of the meeting, and also dug tunnels to 12 satellite cities.

Although the country has an overall plan, the end of the world is only a few years away and the construction period is extremely tight. The underground tunnel network built by Li Xiang in his hometown is very good and has become popular on the Internet, so he was invited to help speed up the process.

The leader joked: "The more capable you are, the more work you will do. It will be your era in the future. If you don't worry about it, who will?"

Li Xiang: “…”

To be honest, Li Xiang doesn't really have any grand ambitions. He is content with having a wife, children and a warm bed. But at this time when human civilization is in danger, he really has to rise to the challenge.

Because humans are social animals, if everyone in the world died, and only his family was left, it wouldn't be very meaningful. Not to mention anything else, just reproducing offspring would be a problem. His sons and grandsons wouldn't be able to find wives. His daughters and granddaughters wouldn't be able to get married either. Within four or five generations, they would be extinct.

As for extraordinary cultivation, I have not heard of anyone who is immortal. Even those god-level earth vein spirits seem to have a limit to their lifespan. And they also have many shortcomings, such as their bodies are special earth veins and cannot move. If they really want to move, they have to rely on the earth veins to slowly change, like the vicissitudes of life.

If humans want to kill them, it is actually quite simple. They can just bombard them with earth-penetrating bombs to destroy their bodies. Because they are the spirits of mountains and rivers, and they also integrate human civilization and luck, their strength is also closely related to the Chinese civilization living on this continent.

There are also some evil Feng Shui arrays that can destroy the earth veins and endanger them.

If we really want to talk about eternal immortality, maybe Jiang Caier can do it. She can transform into a digital life and a stream of consciousness, but she also needs a carrier. If the carrier is destroyed, she will also die.

But if you become a digital life and cannot enjoy the various pleasures of being a human being, even eternal life would be extremely boring.

Those three god-level earth spirits like to sleep. Firstly, they have indeed suffered heavy damage and lost a lot of their origin. Li Xiang estimated that it was at least 30%. Secondly, they probably have nothing to do if they don't sleep.

"It is my duty and I shall not shirk my responsibility!" Li Xiang readily agreed. For both public and private reasons, he could not sit idly by.

Anyway, he was idle now. After he broke through the Saint level, it became very difficult to upgrade. Building an underground transportation network was also equivalent to practicing.

So, it took a month to dig the tunnels for the country's underground transportation network. As for the laying of rails, optical cables, and equipment along the way, these were no longer Li Xiang's business; the relevant departments were responsible for them.

When Li Xiang was digging the tunnel, CCTV reporters followed him throughout the process, but concealed the specific route and coordinates, only saying what section it was. No one else knew where it was, how deep it was, or how it went.

When people saw this feat, they couldn't help but marvel at it again.

Previously, the dredging of thousands of water systems was carried out in secret, and not many people witnessed it at the time. But now, with CCTV broadcasting live every day, everyone is seeing Li Xiang’s earth-related magical powers for the first time.

Someone commented: "This is much more powerful than Tuxingsun."

"What is Tuxingsun? How can he be compared with Li Sheng?"

"Congratulations to Li Sheng. You have made a great contribution and added another brilliant chapter to the history books."

After building the tunnel, Li Xiang wondered what else he could do to help, so he took action and took the initiative to help build an underground refinery, as well as supporting underground pipelines and storage warehouses for transporting and storing oil, natural gas, etc.

This is an advantage for Li Xiang.

The oil and natural gas under the South China Sea do not need to be exploited. Li Xiang built a pipeline to directly reach it and used the principle of earth vein siphoning to allow the oil and natural gas to spread directly along the pipeline in an endless supply.

This design is very ingenious and the amount of work involved is very large. Without Li Xiang's powerful earth-related abilities, it would be almost impossible to build. Even if it was built, the cost would be extremely high.

But for Li Xiang, it was easy and could be done in a few days.

Even if necessary, he could dig a tunnel to the Middle East or Russia to extract oil and gas resources from the Middle East or Russia, without the need for mining and transportation, and they would flow directly over.

If a pipeline transports oil too slowly, there is also the risk of blockage or damage. Li Xiang directly installed seven or eight pipelines in parallel at a certain distance. This not only greatly increased the oil (gas) transport volume, but also increased the ability to resist risks.

uncanny workmanship.

This is a bit abnormal and is at the strategic level, so it has not been reported publicly.

In addition, Li Xiang also used his earth-related abilities to help underground cities quickly build huge spaces, allowing the country to speed up the underground transfer of factories, such as complete arsenals, robotic arm production lines, and so on.
