Chapter 425 The Sea



The news that the southern part of Hope City was blocked was soon reported to Arthur's desk.

He had actually anticipated the possible changes outside the city, but he was still very surprised when he heard the news.

According to Fran's report, there seemed to be some great terror in the south.

And the actions of the mycelial will are as if... protecting humans from that terrible area.

Obviously, He would not be so kind, there must be some plan behind this.

But as for the situation outside Hope City, Lin Qingliu himself has no plans to take risks in the short term.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, one of the reasons why Lin Qingliu dared to take risks before was actually the existence of parliament.

Any order is better than complete chaos, and now the parliament has been uprooted by him, and the original ecological niche has been replaced by a symbolic speaker, which requires him to consider more subsequent impacts for every move he makes.

Sending a clone may not be able to reach such a far place due to energy level issues, and the main body must support the protective shield and other equipment in Hope City...

Lin Qingliu thought about it and decided to postpone the exploration to the south for a while, at least until he got some research results from Ji Yongxing before making a decision.

He lightly pressed the terminal on his finger, and the holographic image in the office responded quickly. The entire Hope City and the surrounding terrain within a few kilometers were instantly presented in three-dimensional form before his eyes.

Originally, this map was a standard circle, covering only the entire Hope City and a small circle nearby.

But with the exotic beast expedition team led by Fran, the fog of war shrouding the surrounding maps seemed to be lit up little by little, presenting irregular visible areas.

This even brought Lin Qingliu a kind of pleasure similar to the strategic games in his previous life. Now he seemed to have entered a battle mode of high difficulty, surrounded by powerful enemies on all sides.

in all directions……

Lin Qingliu suddenly thought of a question, a question that seemed to have been ignored by him for a long time.

He stared carefully at the entire map that had been explored so far, looking at the overall location of Hope City.

More than fifty years ago, the place where the spacecraft crashed was only a dozen kilometers away from the ocean on this planet. From the height of the spacecraft, one could even vaguely see the silent ocean.

This distance has not changed with time, but Lin Qingliu suddenly discovered that all human beings seemed to completely ignore the sea in the east, as if there was a wall with no visible boundaries.

"Ten thousand volumes."

Arthur spoke in a calm tone.

"I am here."

A familiar voice came over the office speakers.

"Retrieve all known information about the ocean east of Hope City."

"OK."

Soon, folders began to appear in the projection in the form of animation, and the transmission speed was comparable to the pop-up attack during continuous error reports.

Soon, the holographic map of Hope City was buried behind those pop-up windows.

Arthur reached out and separated the two, and began to browse everything related to the sea.

Although there are an incredible number of documents in this area, the sheer amount of space they take up makes them incomparable to documents in other areas.

Arthur quickly scanned the documents one by one, the sensors locked onto his eyes and kept giving the fastest responses.

He sorted the documents by time and read the detailed records. He seemed to have traveled through time and arrived at the pioneering period more than 50 years ago.

After confirming the existence of alien life, the designers among the Awakeners proposed three city construction plans that could be tried, namely a floating city, a mobile city on the sea, and a ring-shaped city on land that was eventually implemented and built.

The floating city project was ultimately ruled out because the exploration team did not find enough fuel on the planet to support this plan, making the floating city project a veritable castle in the air.

So of course the plan was abandoned.

The second plan proposed is a mobile city on the sea. Compared with the first fantastic idea, building such a city on this planet where tsunamis are almost non-existent is also of certain reference value.

However, because the main body of the spacecraft was difficult to restart and could not land again, the plan was eventually cancelled. Now Hope City was put on the agenda as the final plan and was approved unanimously by the congressmen at the time.

Apart from some simple sampling and analysis, this was the first record of the planet's oceans.

It is indeed unrealistic to want to explore the ocean when satellites and probes cannot be launched and the exploration team is already struggling to cope with the land.

Arthur nodded and continued to look through the documents, finding the second record about the ocean.

In the second year of the new era, the first batch of mature humans are about to walk out of the incubator.

Faced with a group of people who look about 15 or 16 years old but actually have the mental capacity of babies, even the congressmen, who are as hard-hearted as them, must consider the living space for these people.

With the help of the super-large integrated construction tools carried by the spacecraft, that is, the large machinery operated by the "Fortune City", humans built the prototype of the inner city in just over a year.

Now that the area is no longer large enough for human habitation, the scope of the outer city area was put on the agenda for discussion, in accordance with the conception in the first document.

When it comes to enclosure, the bigger the better, in theory.

But this is not the case for planets with alien life. Humans must reasonably judge the scope of the enclosure to prevent certain adverse effects caused by an overly sparse population.

Therefore, it became a question whether the sea on the east side of the city should be enclosed.

In the end, the energy expert, the first generation Zhong Ding, overruled all objections and established a city wall structure that would wrap around part of the sea in the eastern part of the outer city.

As an expert in this field, Zhong Ding believes that tidal energy is a very stable source of energy on this planet without any rough waves.

This planet also has its own satellites, so it will naturally produce tides similar to those of its parent planet.

The extremely low surface undulations of the planet also greatly reduce the probability of some natural disasters.

More importantly, according to their estimates, the population of Hope City will exceed one million in ten years and exceed three million in twenty years.

According to this growth rate, electricity will be a huge gap in future construction, and this gap can never be made up by using the reactor in the spacecraft's energy compartment, which is one of their trump cards for maintaining the spacecraft and spire system.

After a detailed explanation of the pros and cons, Zhong Ding's plan was implemented, and in the eighth year of the new era, the tidal generators in the eastern part of the outer city near the sea wall were officially built.

Seeing this, Arthur felt that the development of things was still under control.

He turned to the next document, and what he saw made him breathe hard.
