Chapter 348: "Ultimate Shelter Project Planning"

"Hey! I'm here!!" Lu Yuan waved his hands towards the sky and shouted loudly.

Acting is also tiring!

In order to increase authenticity, he asked the King Insect to bring him here a month in advance.

He hadn't shaved his hair for a long time, and his hair looked like a long-haired dog. He hadn't washed his face for a long time, and his clothes were tattered.

The city floating in the sky was like a large kite. After discovering Lu Yuan, the whole city was in an uproar.

"Hurry, land quickly!"

"Boom!" The city landed five kilometers away, raising a cloud of dust.

This area is very magnificent, the ocean in the distant past has become land, and in some places there are still large areas of red magma. The average temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius.

Soon, a group of people drove out of the city in large armored vehicles.

"Are you all right? Everyone!"

"Commander-in-chief, everyone has had a hard time these years! We almost had a food crisis... Fortunately, we survived." Shamo, Shakaner and others had tears in their eyes.

Several younger generations who had a better relationship with Lu Yuan burst into tears when they saw their adoptive father, and some of them were speechless.

"Alas, you have lost a lot of weight too. We still managed to survive this disaster." Lu Yuan also sighed in his heart. Although he already knew the result, he still felt a little sad at this moment.

"This is... the result of our development! We have not stood still." Lu Tiantian rubbed his eyes and patted the crawler robot around him that was as big as an excavator, with four mechanical arms and a drill.

"The technology of the Source Fire Civilization?"

"Yes, it can work in complex environments. It can resist high temperatures and cold, and has a certain degree of psychological resistance." Lu Tiantian said some random things to hide the joy in his heart.

He finally relaxed his tense mind.

These years have indeed been quite hard. Lu Yuan saw it and was worried, but there was nothing he could do to help.

But... just get through it...

Human civilization has indeed matured, and some disaster response mechanisms can be done well by everyone without his instructions.

"How did you survive the disaster?" Soon, some reporters heard the good news and rushed over.

When they saw Lao Lu, they also wiped away their tears.

After Lu Yuan hugged them, he said, "Use your spatial ability to survive the first wave of volcanic eruptions. That explosion is really spectacular, just like a star exploding."

He started to tell the story he had been making up for a long time: "What followed was a protracted battle. Fortunately, I always had a lot of food and water in my storage space. I used them sparingly, so I was able to survive. And... look!"

Lu Yuan showed a shiny object - a bead that allows underwater breathing!

"With this gadget, I can put my head in water and block out a lot of toxic gases. I can breathe in the water."

"The most important thing is not to be defeated by loneliness."

In front of the TV station, he even boasted: "In the past six years or so, I have carefully studied the forging and carving knowledge of the Source Fire Civilization, and have mastered at least 70% to 80% of the knowledge."

"The most important thing for a person is a strong heart and the determination to never give up."

“I know there are still many people waiting for me.”

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yuan took out a shield-like protective equipment, which was made using the forging techniques of the Source Fire Civilization, to prove that he was not bragging.

“…”

The old cat remained silent. He was clearly in the city in the sky, but he kept bragging.

Of course, the loud gongs and drums are also an essential sense of ritual for the return.

Be it the students in the school or the ordinary people in the society, they had no way of telling whether what Lu Yuan said was true or false. They simply shouted excitedly and clapped with a fanatical attitude as if welcoming the return of a hero.

To be honest, although we have fought against the cold disaster and made small progress in the past six years, there is always a sense of awkwardness and stagnation in the operation of society.

No one knows what this awkwardness is, it's like a kind of... a lack of backbone? Occasionally, someone would complain a few words? Why don't you go and rescue Lu Yuan?

Even those Zerg warriors seemed... not as obedient... I don't know if it was a psychological illusion.

But with Lu Yuan's return, this feeling immediately disappeared.

After all, Commander Lu is not only alive, but also has worked hard to learn knowledge, so what can ordinary people like them complain about? This situation made the rat craftsmen sigh: "This is amazing, he is indeed a man with all the luck..."

"This shield really has some technology from the Source Fire Civilization. Is he really learning it?"

The ratman craftsmen were a little confused. How could they survive in the wilderness and study at the same time? Could this guy really be a saint?

…

Lu Yuan was not idle either. He first showed up in front of the crowd and announced that he was "still alive".

The overwhelming sound really makes people feel like a fan club...

Then he took a bath to wash off the dust on his body, held a press conference, and then attended a dinner hosted by the government.

In fact, it is nothing surprising. Recently, there have been some emerging scientists, engineers, etc., and according to convention, they need to be commended personally by the President. Now it has been delayed for so many years, and it must be done quickly.

Lu Yuan mediated, communicated, and clinked glasses with the crowd to understand the overall affairs of the city. Even if there was no wine, he could use tea instead, and he seemed to be at ease.

"Thank you for your hard work. I haven't done anything these years, and it's all thanks to you that I've been able to get to this point. I'd like to offer a toast to everyone to express my gratitude."

“May we work together in the future.”

The other senior government officials looked relaxed. This was a smooth civilization... Otherwise, the redistribution of power alone would cause the entire civilization to dismember and split! After the banquet, Lu Yuan sat on his desk. Miss Conch rolled her eyes and piled up a mountain of official documents on his desk.

"Why are you rolling your eyes?"

"I just think you deserve a beating. You've obviously come back a long time ago, but you still pretend to have suffered for six years." The girl clenched her fists and knocked on Lu Yuan's head, making a "dong dong dong" sound.

Lu Yuan laughed. It was normal for a civilization to hide things if it wanted to develop.

How can there be so many glorious and righteous people in the world? Even history is just a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone. Since everyone thinks that Lu Yuan should be such a suffering character, he can only explain it this way...

"I actually survived outdoors for six years before..."

He already knew what changes had taken place in the Sky City, but he still symbolically flipped through a few pages of these miscellaneous official documents.

"The extraordinary animals and plants have strong vitality and were generally protected from the cold disaster. But there has been no sunlight for six years, and the plant production is extremely low, so almost all talent training programs have been downgraded..." Conch gave a brief explanation in a clear voice.

"Alas, I have wasted six years of everyone's precious time." Lu Yuan took a pen and signed his name on several government documents.

"No one has any complaints. These days, being alive is good enough." Hai Luo added, "In addition, the cold-resistant project has been basically completed. Heating has been installed in every household. The water pipes have also been modified. If there is another cold disaster, it won't be so embarrassing."

“The central shelter has also been significantly upgraded, and the fresh air system can filter out most of the toxic gases.”

"But no matter how we transform it, our city is not a spaceship and it is impossible to achieve material recycling."

Lu Yuan nodded. Artificial ecosystem is a very difficult subject. So far, it is impossible for humans to survive independently without being isolated from the outside world.

"So some experts believe that we need to build an ultimate shelter in the tiankeng."

This was something Lu Yuan didn't know. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

The girl paused. "No matter how the shelter is designed, there are always loopholes. People need to breathe and eat. As long as they have material needs, they will be affected by the outside world."

"The time spent in the tiankeng is only one percent of that spent in the outside world. If we encounter an unstoppable disaster, all of us will have to hide inside and wait for a while. Maybe the disaster will be resolved."

"This shelter doesn't need to be too complicated. We just need to install a large number of hibernation chambers for everyone to rest in."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Isn't this a plagiarism of 'Source Fire Civilization'?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Yes...but our purpose is not to avoid the epochal disaster. For a cold disaster like this, it might be much easier if we have a large hibernation chamber."

Lu Yuan opened a document - "Ultimate Shelter Project Plan".

Scientists have carefully studied the "hibernation freezer" of the Source Fire Civilization. The hibernation principle is an extraordinary material called "cold cotton stone", which can produce an idealistic gas that allows humans to enter a hibernation state.

These hibernation freezers are of quite high quality and can reduce the human body's metabolic rate to one ten-thousandth of the normal level.

In the hibernation state, the breath of life emitted is naturally very small and not easily detected by external enemies.

So people plan to dismantle some materials and imitate them to make some hibernation freezers of slightly lower quality.

The hibernation chamber for one person is not very big, 2 meters long, 1 meter wide and 0.5 meters high, which is more than enough and only needs to occupy a volume of about 1 cubic meter.

Even if there are 1 million people, there are only 1 million cubic meters of freezers.

The Da Lai Empire spaceship carrying the [ghosts] has a large internal space, which is more than enough to accommodate these hibernation chambers.

"What a weird idea. Do you want to keep a ghost company?"

"Even if the [Ghost] hasn't escaped the seal, there's no need to do this."

Lu Yuan frowned and thought for a while, and felt that it was not appropriate at first.

But I also feel that it seems... it is indeed necessary...

After all, this is the final trump card.

The world's ecological environment is really fragile. The volcanic ash in the sky caused a nuclear winter that lasted for six years, causing cold disasters.

God knows what strange disasters will happen in the future.

The protective performance of the spacecraft of the Dalai Empire is still quite good, and there are some defensive carvings on it that cannot be cracked by humans.

If you ignore that [ghost], it really is a good place to take refuge.

"It's something we really need to consider..."

At eight o'clock the next morning, Lu Yuan had been busy all night, quickly reviewing most of the documents and holding a simple meeting.

Well, after so many years of hard work, Lao Lu, the backbone, reappeared. At the first top-level meeting, everyone was quite excited and everyone was very excited.

"I've read the Ultimate Shelter Plan... How long is it expected to take? How much will it cost?"

Professor Desert from the College of Engineering said immediately, "The project is not difficult. As long as the spacecraft is equipped with a Pandora crystal power system and a few doors, this large spacecraft can be used as a sky fortress."

"And the quality of the hibernation chamber doesn't need to be very high. After all, we don't rely on it to survive the epoch disaster, so we only need one-tenth to one-twentieth of the materials."

"Including the hibernation of animals, a freezer worth 500,000 yuan will cost 1,500 yuan of spiritual materials, mainly cold cotton stone."

"If we take into account the future population growth, we may need to add some hibernation chambers. Anyway, it will not exceed 2,000 spiritual charms."

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows. You guys really spend money like water. In the past, 2,000 spiritual materials would have cost you your life! Only now that I have some money, I can barely afford it.

But no matter how I think about it, I feel...

It is still quite necessary.

What matters is that people are alive, death is worthless.

"Okay, I have no objection to this matter..."

"If there is anything special, report it together, and then start working early."

Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something and reported to everyone how the Mirage Dragon survived the epochal disaster.

Of course, he concealed the existence of the "Chaos Essence Stone" and only said that there was a mysterious "White Jade Palace" at the bottom of the magma, which was a relic of the gear civilization.

"Under the impact of the magma, the White Jade Hall was ejected directly into the sky! The building could not withstand the force of the earth and collapsed and shattered directly."

"And I used the alternate dimension to protect myself the moment the hall was shattered. In the end, I only managed to get this little bit of stuff, as well as a copy of the Gear Codex inheritance."

Lu Yuan took out a few gears and a wall made of white jade.

The materials these things are made of are ordinary stones, but the carvings at the micron level or even nano level are really surprising to everyone. They can simply be described as magical.

"This 'Great Gear Codex' is truly ingenious. I have studied it for six years but still cannot get started... I am really ashamed."

Theoretically, carvings, which are idealistic entities, can only be engraved manually.

But how much engineering effort is required for a micron-level project, even if it is just one gear?

This is obviously not made using traditional techniques.

Therefore, Lu Yuan could not complete this inheritance alone; it required the wisdom of the entire civilization.
