484 Shenzhou base city starts construction
The warm sunshine shines on the endless snowy fields in the sky, making it shine brightly.
Compared with the desolate tropical and lush temperate areas, apart from the white snow and occasionally exposed dark rocks, there are fewer dazzling views here. It is a long time to be happy to encounter a clump of green coniferous vegetation.
However, the tranquility here makes people feel refreshed. There is no harsh insects in their ears, no intrigues, and no deafening gunshots. There is only the creaking sound of their feet stepping on the snow and the north wind whistling over their heads. It is a deserted place that seems deadly, but can calm down and develop steadily.
The conditions are extremely difficult and need to be accompanied by the snow that never melts all year round.
The settlement location selected by the Republic of China is a meteorite crater with a diameter of about 10 kilometers. The average depth of the pit bottom is about 180 meters. The surrounding craters are surrounded by tight seams, forming a natural city wall nearly 80 meters above the ground, blocking most of the raging cold wind.
This crater was carefully selected by Xiaosie combined with oracle information, and conducted massive calculations and comparisons. It is one of the most suitable places for the Republic to settle down.
On the way to the north of the Shenzhou fleet, the Republic sent a large number of advance teams to each candidate address for on-site surveys, bringing back a large amount of detailed information, making the calculation of the slut more accurate.
The top leaders of the Republic held a nearly perfect report for a long time and finally selected the crater with a moderate location and named it [New Kunlun].
The location of the New Kunlun Crater is very particular. It is located on a vast snowfield and surrounded by hundreds of large and small meteorite craters. While it has a good strategic depth, it also has a large room for development.
According to the data simulation of Xiu Pi, this was once the bombardment area of the destruction of the sky satellite.
Therefore, whether it is the falling meteorite itself or the underground material brought by the impact, these craters have rich mineral output and are easy to mine.
The soil of some craters is particularly fertile, and Xin Kunlun is one of them.
The harsh environment in the cold zone of the sky is mainly reflected in the very short sunshine time and the extremely low temperature.
There is almost no inclination of the axis of rotation of the sky, which means that the star light will always be locked on the equator without swinging north and south.
Correspondingly, the light at the poles of the sky will be shortened to the extreme, causing coldness to become the norm.
Judging from the location of the New Kunlun Crater, although the sunshine time here is not much worse than that in the tropical areas, the solar radiation is a huge difference.
The reason why the cold zone does not appear very dark is that the sunlight reflects on the snow, but the radiation that can actually reach the ground is pitiful and the heat it brings is quite limited.
The average daytime temperature outside Xin Kunlun is around -50℃, and it will drop sharply to -80℃ at night, and it can even reach minus 100 degrees Celsius in extreme climates!
In such a cruel environment, very few lives can survive in the cold zone, which is the main reason why the remnants are disdainful of this place.
But now it’s different. The arrival of millions of refugees on Earth has brought new vitality to this cold snow field.
Because Xin Kunlun is blocked by craters, the cold wind from the wilderness is blocked. In addition, the terrain has a certain heat-gasping effect, so the average temperature can be higher than 20 degrees Celsius, reaching -20℃~-50℃.
This is already a very good innate condition in the huge cold zone, allowing the Republic, which settled deep in the cold zone, to enjoy the temperature conditions at the edge of the cold zone, to have a safer living space and an undisturbed living environment.
It is a relatively perfect base location.
...
With the assistance of several AIs, the China Academy of Sciences designed a new [Shenzhou Base City] based on detailed ground survey information. After completion, it was located in the new Kunlun Crater. It is a comprehensive artificial facility integrating military and civilian use.
First, because the craters of the new Kunlun crater were closed, the Republic needed to first use divine-level particles to bombard a gap to allow the ground fleet to enter.
This gap will then be repaired and becomes a large defensive gate for warships to enter and exit.
However, this gate will not be widened to allow Pangu City to enter as big as that. First, it is not necessary. Second, the damage caused by moving cities to the surface is too great. If Pangu City enters the crater, it will damage the surface on a large scale, which will not be worth the loss.
So Pangu City became the gatekeeper and stood majestic at the entrance of the Shenzhou Base City.
The giant gates of the Shenzhou Base City will be built with Pangu City as a construction base. The trained engineering troops are like bees to enter and exit Pangu City, transporting various equipment and materials to the broken passes and building auxiliary facilities.
The Republic, which had already made preparations, prepared sufficient polar protective clothing and upgraded a large number of equipment to prevent freezing. Therefore, it was able to drive at full power as soon as it arrived, and it surpassed the forces behind it several streets in terms of efficiency.
The other half of the engineering fleet drove into the crater with a large number of carriers and deployed at two designed locations. Among them, eight huge excavation ships with fangs and claws showed their true colors. The huge drilling rig on the bow and the drilling arms on the back all show that their work is unusual.
This is true, because their task is to dig a standard cylindrical deep pit with a diameter of 1,000 meters and a depth of 50 meters in the established area.
After completion, the round pit will rely on the spiral slope reserved on the wall, and large lifting facilities will be installed to ensure smooth personnel and materials.
The bottom of the round pit will build multi-functional residential areas and supporting facilities around the center of the circle, and a series of civil production facilities such as science and technology farms, ranches, light factories, etc. will be built outside the residential area. While making self-sufficiency in residential areas, it will also export basic supplies to the outside.
A towering core building will be built in the center of the round pit, called the Energy Tower.
The core of the energy tower is a mature nuclear fusion reactor. It not only shoulders the responsibility of supplying energy to this settlement, but also emits heat radiation outward at all times.
At the same time, the city will also install thermal conductivity facilities similar to floor heating underground, so as to evenly distribute the heat production of energy towers to various urban areas.
In this way, because the special terrain produces excellent heat collection and heat storage effect, the entire round pit settlement does not need to install any zenith-like shade facilities on the top, and can be maintained within the range of ±10℃ for a long time.
This undoubtedly brings great convenience to residents' lives and production, so that people no longer have to wear bulky protective clothing when going out, so that crops no longer need to build greenhouses, and vegetation can grow normally...
The improvement of the living environment will make the residents of the Republic warm as spring even in the cold areas!
The residents of the Republic who learned about this news were excited and enthusiastically gave Yuankeng a set of special titles:
The entire system is called [Wolongkeng]; the heating system is called [Green Vein]; the settlement located in it is called [Taoyuan Community], and the farm in it is nicknamed [Yuhuayuan]...
It's really fun to have fun.
