Chapter 172 The Eve of Escape
Faced with Lu Yongchang's request, Chen Siwen's eyes twitched again.
Mars City where 500 million people live together...
This is not an easy job!
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the former US Mars pole.
Only three astronauts were accommodated, and after less than a month on Mars, serious problems arose.
According to Lu Yongchang, 500 million people will live in Mars City for several years.
Even though there is input from outside materials, it is still extremely difficult to stabilize a Mars City that carries 500 million people.
But... the mission has been completed, can he still refuse?
Chen Siwen sighed silently, subconsciously reached out and touched the hair that was left on his head, and whispered: "Professor, I'll try my best."
“It’s just…there’s another thing to apply to you.”
"You said." Lu Yongchang responded without any hesitation.
"Professor, I think it's necessary for us to start the gene preservation program." Chen Siwen said with a serious expression.
"It's not just livestock that can be eaten, but also many necessary animal and plant genes, and even many microbial populations."
"These creatures play a crucial role in our future immigration and planet transformation plan!"
Lu Yongchang nodded thoughtfully.
What it says makes sense.
Humans can enter the hibernation compartment and start interstellar navigation. Can't these animals and plants arrange a few hibernation compartments, right?
Live transportation has extremely high consumption and extremely high risks.
Therefore, transporting genes has become the best choice.
It only needs to ensure that there are sufficient genetic samples. After meeting the scientific and technological level, they can completely create a "earth" after arriving at a habitable planet.
"Okay." Lu Yongchang said in a deep voice, "You can make a list of biologicals for me these days, and I will arrange for someone to take responsibility."
...
2033.1
A few months passed in a flash.
Under zero control, [Tower of Babel] and [Kangmu] have been completed long ago.
The perspective is 91,000 kilometers away from the surface.
At this time, the earth no longer regained its original blue appearance.
The entire planet's surface is covered with dense white clouds.
This is because the internal reaction of the sun is becoming increasingly violent, the temperature on the earth's surface rises and the large amount of sea water evaporates.
And in this thick white cloud like cotton candy, two slender ribbons were suddenly worn out!
The ribbon stretches for a full 91,000 kilometers and is connected to two huge silver-white discs in space.
This is the last technological crystallization of mankind in the past year.
Spaceport.
Each spaceport has a diameter of 10 kilometers and has 4 "ports".
Around these ports, 800-meter-long starships were quietly parked in the empty space.
They are the phoenix-type 1 starships that shoulder the plan for human escape.
Dozens of helium trifusion reactors provide them with sufficient energy, and driven by the latest Hall thruster, the Luanniao 1 starship can reach a speed of up to 200km/s.
...
Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Although the global average temperature has continued to rise in the past six months, glaciers on both poles have basically melted away.
However, as the roof of the world, the height of Qinghai-Tibet is due to the terrain. Not only is it not eroded by sea water, but the temperature is even much lower than that of low-altitude areas.
But even so, at this moment, the temperature on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is in winter, has reached about 10 degrees Celsius.
This is about twenty degrees Celsius higher than the usual normal temperature!
Coupled with the increasing precipitation, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at this time looked like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Lush grass and bushes are everywhere.
The only regret is that the animals and plants that were originally unique to the plateau quickly disappeared due to this rapidly changing environment.
The space elevator [Jianmu] is located in a higher altitude area on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Because the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is fragile, it took a lot of trouble to lay the foundation.
A newly built complex is quietly located near the foundation of the space elevator.
As the environment gradually deteriorates, the First Laboratory of the People's Federation had to move to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau area.
At this moment, there are only a few million sober populations left on the entire earth. In order to save resources, excluding the 3.8 billion people in the escape plan, the remaining 500 million people on the earth have also entered the hibernation cabin.
Only when Lu Yongchang and his friends leave Earth and arrive on Mars will these 500 million people be awakened again.
Among these 500 million people, except for scientific researchers, most of them are starship pilots and various types of workers.
At that time, they will not only be responsible for promoting the progress of basic science, but also obtain the resources required for interstellar navigation as much as possible in the entire solar system!
...
Lu Yongchang stood by the office window and silently looked at the view outside the window.
Full of vitality.
A little emotion appeared in his eyes.
It has to be said that the miracle of life is always happening.
Even though the earth has reached such a state, there are still several "paradise" in the world.
"Why……"
Thinking of the human beings who were about to be forced to leave the embrace of the mother planet, he sighed slightly and asked in a low voice: "Zero, the time for the escape plan to start is today, right?"
The holographic projection quietly unfolds.
"Yes, professor." Zero responded in a gentle tone, "Currently, the last hibernating humans in the escape plan are heading to the spaceport through the space elevator."
"It is expected that in an hour, the last Luanbird 1 starship will sail out of the spaceport."
"Professor, do you need to play real-time images?"
Lu Yongchang's eyes moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at the holographic image behind him.
"good!"
The picture changes rapidly.
[Jianmu] In the spaceport, the hibernation compartment, which is silver-white all over the body, and is filled with light yellow deep sea liquid, continuously entering the 800-meter-long starship in front of it along the track.
In the upper right corner of the screen, a bright red number is jumping quietly.
That was the time it took for the last starship to fill the hibernation compartment, and it was also the time for these 3.8 billion people to set out for the Kuiper belt!
"Professor, the Chairman of the Council is here."
As Zero's voice fell, the office door quietly opened.
Looking at the old man leaning on a crutch at the door, Lu Yongchang hurriedly walked up to meet him.
"Chairman, why are you here?" Lu Yongchang's eyes showed a hint of anger, "If you look for me, just notify Zero-Yi."
The old man slowly walked into the office with a crutch, and waved his hand happily.
"It's not hindering."
"Unlike you, I'm very free now after everyone hibernates."
Speaking of this, the old man said with a slightly exaggerated look: "You don't know that I haven't seen a few new documents on my desk recently."
Hearing this, Lu Yongchang immediately laughed.
"Isn't it good to be free?" He said while winking at Su Yutong, "You have been tired for so long, can't you rest for a while?"
Su Yutong, who was beside him, silently moved a chair and placed it next to the old man.
The old man smiled and nodded at Su Yutong: "Thank you."
"I don't want to rest!" The old man's eyes were filled with emotion, "If the earth could still be as good as before, I would be busy day and night."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the office became quieter again.
The old man noticed this keenly. In order to adjust the atmosphere, he moved his eyes slightly and said with a teasing look on his face.
"After that being said, Yu Tong, what's your relationship with Yongchang now?"
The moment he heard this, a hint of shyness flashed in Su Yutong's eyes, and he pretended to be calm and said, "President, I am just Professor Lu's assistant."
Lu Yongchang also looked at the old man with a wry smile on his face: "President, when is it now? Do you still have the intention to joke?"
Looking at the two young men in front of him, the old man sat on the chair and laughed.
"Okay, okay, I won't get involved in your young people's affairs."
ps. Dear readers, today’s great Kavenka is also a chapter that I have polished for a long time, so... there is only one chapter today. If the condition is adjusted tomorrow, I will add another chapter.
Chapter completed!
