The strong man named Tieke is right. Under the current circumstances, the only way out for the town "Condenser" is to go to the nearest big town for help, otherwise the town will fall into an extremely dangerous situation. ""

The fusion reactor had exploded. This shocking fact made many townspeople feel at a loss at first. They could not even feel fear. That was because such a thing was so incredible that when it happened
, the first reaction of ordinary people is not panic, but confusion. But now, some people have realized how dangerous things are happening, and Tieke is one of the first people to realize the situation.
Evenly distributed, the fusion reactor matrix suspended three thousand kilometers above the ground of the ruined planet is the only source of light and heat energy for this world's ecosystem. Because no one can master the technology of using nether energy reactors to provide stable thermal radiation, so
These ancient fusion reactors have been operating continuously for hundreds of thousands of years and are irreplaceable to this day. When the fusion reactor goes out and there is no possibility of maintenance, the entire northern hemisphere can be expected to usher in continuous darkness and cold, and the latter can be fatal.
.
The artificial atmosphere of these ruined planets is not thick enough, and its heat retention efficiency is lower than that of the normal atmosphere. After losing the continuous heating of the fusion reactor, they will soon lose their thermal balance. This is one of the reasons. What is even worse is that due to the fusion reactor
The power is limited. In order to ensure a uniform supply of light and heat to the entire planet, there are actually hundreds of fusion reactors distributed over a planet. Each fusion reactor is only responsible for providing "sunlight" to a small area below it. Here,
In this case, if one of the reactors stalls, the area it is responsible for will hardly receive any "sunlight" supplement from nearby reactors.
Immediately afterwards, the northern hemisphere of this ruined planet will be frozen by cold winds in a very short period of time.
Of course, the big man named Tieke might not have thought of such a detailed thing. What he was worried about was only the things that could be deduced by the simplest logic: if it continues to get dark, the weather will get colder, the town will not have enough food, energy, and transportation.
If you are stuck in a traffic jam, if you don't rush to call for help in the best condition while you still have food that you can carry with you, it will be too late as time passes.
The town of "Condenser" is just a small settlement with less than 200 residents. When those iron houses were first built, it didn't even have a name. It is impossible for such a remote place to have enough supplies to resist the ice.
It has no energy shield to withstand the cold wind, and no lighting energy that can stay bright under the continuous night. There is no reliable administrative mechanism in this world, and only a few people exist in the condenser town.
You know, and it is impossible for those people to come to the rescue in this situation. In fact, to put it bluntly, even if this town is wiped out today, no one may know what happened here in two years.
We need supplies, energy, and food reserves to withstand the long winter nights. Of course, if possible, we even need to move the entire town to a sunny place. But these things don't fall out of thin air. Tieke can think of it.
The only way is to go to the nearest big town for help. Even if you can't get the supplies, you must let them know about the existence of this town, so that if the big town starts to organize rescue in the Dongye area, this place will not be missed.
.
As for waiting for the big city to reinstall a fusion reactor here... In fact, everyone knows that this is a good wish.
Of course Mr. Barnard also knew this truth. He agreed with Tieke's idea, but raised a very pointed question:
How do you get there?
Climbing seventeen kilometers in the dark on a cliff covered with steel debris? Are you Superman's second cousin?
Tieke and Barnard were tit for tat, each insisting on their own ideas. Since what they said was both correct, no one could convince the other at this time. But just when I had begun to consider whether to personally help, suddenly
A burst of white light came from near the horizon, interrupting everyone's concentration.
Near the distant horizon, the sky was suddenly illuminated by a bright white light, as if the dark curtain there was suddenly torn open from directly above. Because the distance is too far, here we can only see the horizon being plated.
There is a layer of bright edges, but I am not sure where the specific light source is.
But through speculation, this is probably the light of the fusion furnace.
The white light outside the horizon was just the beginning. Soon, the same light also lit up from the horizon on the other side. In all directions, the distant sky as far as the eye could see began to be illuminated by white light. The townspeople were stunned.
Yes, Barnard suddenly reacted and said with great joy: "Fusion reactor! The fusion reactors in other places have been repaired!"
"But our fusion reactor is gone."
Tieke poured a basin of cold water on the spot.
The white light outside the horizon formed a circle, showing that the fusion furnaces in those places had resumed operation. A few minutes later, there was no flash of explosion from those places, indicating that the other fusion furnaces had not suffered the same fate as the one above our heads.
of misfortune.
When the surrounding sky in the far distance was shrouded in white light, the land under everyone's feet seemed to have become an abandoned island, like a round black spot on a white paper. Because the fusion furnaces were far apart, the individual power was
Insufficient, the surrounding sunlight is completely unable to reach the place that the naked eye can see. Everyone can only see that the horizon in all directions seems to be coated with a layer of silver, as if the brilliance of dawn is gathering from every direction, and all directions are covered.
At sunrise - but sunrise never comes.
I didn't know whether to cry or laugh at this situation. The townspeople at the scene looked up at the sky wordlessly. There was still only darkness above, and traces of cold air came from all directions. At this time, the darkness and coldness became more obvious.
.
"Arjun Arjun, it seems the wind is blowing!"
Qian Qian suddenly pulled my arm and shouted strangely.
Sure enough, it was only after Qian Qian reminded me that I noticed that a soft breeze had been blowing around me at some point. The direction of the wind was so chaotic that it was impossible to tell which direction it was blowing from. It seemed to be changing at will.
With some saliva on his fingers, he held it up in the air and felt it for a while, and then told us very seriously: The wind blowing now is from north to south to east to west.
"The wind is rising - the situation is not good, I actually forgot this, humans can't stand this situation!"
Sandora's hair was blown up by the gradually increasing turbulent wind. Looking at the small pieces of paper flying into the air on the nearby streets, she suddenly said with a serious face, "Everyone, leave the town immediately! Move to the metal
Under the flying cliffs next to the station! Barnard, are there any large settlements in the area where the blown fusion reactor originally illuminated the sky?"
“There is a ‘Chongzha’ town more than ten kilometers away, which is an mining station. Then there are no other settlements. This area of thousands of kilometers is covered with metal stacks, and there are almost no residents.”
Barnard was confused by Sandora's sudden question, but he quickly answered her question. As for asking the townspeople to evacuate the town, he couldn't figure out what was going on. "Why did you leave the town?"
"hurricane."
Sandora looked at the sky. In the deep darkness, there seemed to be a giant thing that was gradually gathering its power. That giant creature might not be worth mentioning to Sandora, but to the ordinary people here,
I'm afraid it will be a disaster like the end of the world.
"The initial situation was that all the fusion reactors in the entire northern hemisphere shut down, causing the thermal balance to fail on both sides of the planet. Although it sounds serious, it is actually safe. On a large scale, the atmosphere has sufficient buffer room to cope with this imbalance. But now, the thermal balance is at
Collapse on a very small scale... The atmosphere is heated unevenly, and what will result will be a hurricane that sweeps across the entire thermal imbalance zone. You have all seen bonfires. Next to the bonfire, the airflow will increase as the flames heat the surrounding air.
The flow is accelerating, and now the fusion reactors around this area are countless huge bonfires, and above us is the largest mass of cold air on the planet."
Shandora explained what was about to happen in an easy-to-understand way, and finally concluded: "With all the surrounding fusion reactors continuing to heat the atmosphere, the cold air zone we are in has formed a huge wind tunnel. This
The balance of the planet's atmosphere is so poor that this thermal imbalance will almost trigger a meteorological disaster on the spot. The hurricane will probably hit in less than forty minutes - by now you should have been able to feel that the air flow is intensifying.
It is the local inert cold air mass that is gradually becoming active."
Shandora's explanation is clear enough, but the townspeople here are all miners. Their scientific knowledge may be very limited, so many people still look confused. But as more and more townspeople gather together, Shandora
Dora's warning has been conveyed throughout the town. Regardless of whether they understand the truth or not, people's uneasiness has been well aroused.
At this moment, the wind direction in the air changed again, and the wind force instantly increased by an order of magnitude. A large number of shredded paper and fabric fragments were blown into the sky by the suddenly strengthened wind. Some people subconsciously looked up at the fragments.
It flew higher and higher, suddenly accelerated after flying to a height of tens of meters, and was swept to an unknown place with a roar.
"Go inform everyone! Leave town!"
Mr. Barnard seemed to have just understood the principles explained by Shandora. At this time, looking at the obviously stronger wind in the sky, his face changed slightly and he immediately gave instructions loudly.
"Is this really possible? With that much wind?"
A thin, dark-skinned middle-aged woman tightened her tight-fitting coarse work clothes. It was obvious that she did not want to accept this somewhat abrupt order.
"It's not an ordinary wind." I muttered, and Barnard frowned and looked at the already somewhat turbid sky, "What if it's true? At least go hide for a while, or at worst, come back later."
"Someone still needs to notify another town," Tieke said in a rough voice. "The 'Chongzhao' is only seventeen kilometers away from here. If there is a hurricane, it can't escape it!"
The situation has changed dramatically compared to just now. The original seeker now has to assume the responsibility of rescue. The "Chongzhao" town never expected that a hurricane was about to hit his home, but the only person who knew the news was more than ten years ago.
Kilometers away, there is a settlement with less than 200 people.
"I wanted to ask before, don't you have a more convenient way of communication?" Bingtis glanced at Mr. Barnard, "There are even spaceships in this world, but you don't know how to make phone calls?"
"Telephone? What is that?" Mr. Barnard was stunned by this term that came from the earth, and then shook his head awkwardly, "As for the communicator, there used to be one in the town, but it broke down a few days ago.
Well, this is just a metal sorting station, and no one is willing to take the time to establish an information node here."
"Well, we can fly interstellar spaceships, but we haven't popularized wireless networks yet, so this is a weird world." Bingtis muttered, then went back to chatting with her group of protoss friends.
I have no intention of helping.
"If we only have a few dozen minutes, we won't have time to notify them anyway. It's a cliff area of more than ten kilometers." Mr. Barnard said with deep worry on his face, "Should we just leave it alone?"
"How can that be done!" Tieke immediately yelled loudly, but after saying this, he didn't say anything. Bingtis and her group of gods who are said to be compassionate were still talking to each other indifferently, but the former used his mental connection to send out words.
Here is a message: "I am suddenly very curious about what kind of decision they will make in this situation, which can directly affect the rating of their entire race, so until the last moment, neither you nor Sandora
Take action personally.”
"Rating?" I frowned, as if I understood why Bingtis had no intention of helping at all. This was not a bad idea of gods playing tricks on mortals, but seemed to have a very legitimate reason, "What are you doing?"
"Hasn't this race been expelled from the Temple of Life?" Bingtis smiled, "But now it seems that you will definitely not leave this world alone, so I have to re-register them. But the procedure is good
Yes, we still need to go through some formalities, so let’s use this test as an assessment for the grassroots members of this race.”
I looked up to the sky speechless.
Old Man Barnard and Tieke were still worried about how to notify the town of "Chongzhao". Time passed by minute by second. Although the wind around them was still so strong and weak, it might be psychological.
As a result, many people feel that the air around them gradually becomes stagnant.
The townspeople had already gone home, calling the elderly and children at home to take shelter under the cliff near the metal station. They only brought a small amount of food and water, and most of them didn't even bring an extra piece of clothing. Obviously, these people
They all thought that the worst thing that would happen was just a strong wind, and they planned to go home and continue their lives after the wind stopped. This could be judged from the fact that they carefully locked the door before going out.
It seems that no one believes that the strong wind will destroy their iron houses. If the respected mayor had not issued a death order, perhaps most people would choose to hide at home to avoid the strong wind. The only good thing now is that they all obeyed.
commanding.
Seeing such a scene, Sandora frowned, but didn't say much. She just looked at the sky occasionally to estimate the time it took for the hurricane to travel from the upper atmosphere to the lower atmosphere.
"It would be nice if there was transportation," Tieke's loud voice was particularly prominent at this time, "but we only have a floating car that pulls metal scraps. It's impossible to dump the 'Chongzha Town' with that thing, and there are still many obstacles on the road.
There are no lights.”
"Wait! As for transportation, I have it at home!"
Just when the two adults were at a loss what to do, a young child's voice suddenly intervened, it was Glick.
"I have a high-speed aircraft at home!" Glick stood up straight, his face now full of pride, as if he was about to become a hero, "Really, it's just outside my house... ah
, these customers gave it to me!”
Seeing that none of the adults around him noticed what he said, Glick reached out in desperation and pointed in our direction.
The aircraft he was talking about was the individual fighter plane assembled by "Dudu". Under Glick's strong request, Sandora and I did not take back that obviously non-civilian thing for the time being. But now, it seems to have to bear a huge responsibility.
It's mission.
When the silver-white streamlined shuttle-shaped aircraft hovered in the square, the people who were skeptical at first suddenly let out continuous exclamations: especially when the thing crashed down with a clang. Apparently Glick
His skills in driving this thing are not up to par. I should suggest that he use automatic driving in the future.
Yes, Glick can already fly this thing. Despite the bumps and bumps, he can still make it perform basic flight controls - don't be surprised by this. A fourteen-year-old child has learned how to make Xiling equipment operate.
In fact, it is not surprising at all. The trend of technological development is like this. The more advanced something is, the easier and faster it is to use it. All equipment will tend to be simplified in operation as technology matures. It may take several seconds to draw a bow and set an arrow.
It takes years of training to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, but it is much easier to learn to shoot. Basically, all humans except Hawking can do it. As the most widely used grassroots weapon, individual fighter planes are extremely simple to use.
The intelligent system can even complete flight control using only vague phrases. Yes, Hawking can control it, not to mention a clever kid like Glick.
Of course, being able to draw is one thing, and being proficient is another. There may be billions of people in the world who can pull a trigger, but more than half of them may hit their feet... As for understanding the principles and structure of firearms, then
There are still more than one billion to spend, so high-tech things are always divided into two levels. One level is for users, which becomes simpler with the development of technology. The other level is its true technological content, which is for experts.
, getting more and more advanced. The things of Apostle Xiling go further in this trend, and are incredibly polarizing: a fourteen-year-old child can control the take-off and landing of fighter jets using brain waves, but you can control the take-off and landing of fighter jets all over the world.
Even if scientists tie it together, they may not be able to figure out how the beeping sound in Pandora's belly comes out...
Barnard glanced back and forth between us and the individual fighter several times with incredible eyes, looking extremely confused, but no one explained anything to him. Glick was getting familiar with the actual take-off and landing procedures of the fighter (it had previously
(Having only done virtual scenes in the cockpit), this thing did not have a crew cabin, so Glick wanted to complete this task himself: to warn people more than ten kilometers away.
"Let a child do this? It's better for me to do it!"
Tieke said loudly.
I smiled and looked at him: "Can you drive?"
"You will! Why don't you go by yourself?"
Tieke is obviously an outspoken person. After he said this in a rough voice, Barnard was dissatisfied: "Tieke, they are guests."
"I believe that kid can do it," my sister suddenly said, "He might be a hero. In addition, that thing is also very safe. It has automatic driving and danger avoidance systems. Even if Grik doesn't do anything,
He will also reach his destination safely."
"Okay, let's not talk about this now," Barnard watched as Glick drove the fighter plane out of sight, and then glanced at us vaguely, "We don't have much time, so hurry up and leave!"
