Ulanov was incorporated into the Second Production and Construction Corps as soon as he woke up. Their next task was very arduous. The number of health facilities around the data release point was limited. It was already the limit to be able to sustain the survival of thousands of people for a week.
.
A large number of sanitary equipment were severely damaged by the sun and are no longer usable.
"So our first task is to carry limited equipment to areas close to the poles, collect as much equipment there as possible, and use underground rail transportation that can still be used to transport it back to the data release point in the equatorial region."
Ulanov led his team and boarded the underground rail train leading to the two poles.
"Next, we will drive this train manually. During the process of adjusting the rotation direction of the planet, serious deformation has occurred inside the planet. It is likely to encounter severe track fractures during the journey. Everyone is ready for emergency repairs.
, we only have one week. If we have not returned with the supplies after one week, there will inevitably be casualties on the base. We are responsible for the lives of all the first batch of people who return to the real world for the casualties caused by the survival supplies, at all costs.
We must also deliver the supplies back on time.”
"Understood! Promise to complete the task."
Most of the first batch of people who were called back to the real world were soldiers before entering the virtual world. Even before entering the virtual world, they were in the same army. Under such harsh natural environment conditions,
Only the steely will of soldiers can survive.
The train started slowly. The twisted track made the train's journey very bumpy. It could not reach the high speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour. It could only crawl underground like an earthworm. The lights of the train remained bright 24 hours a day.
There are two soldiers on duty at the front at the same time, keeping a close eye on the track conditions ahead. Once the track breaks, they will stop and repair it as soon as possible.
"500m ahead, a large area of the track was broken. The broken area was too long. A huge boulder drilled directly out of the ground and cut off the track. If you want to repair it, you must first level the boulder. Even if you don't count the loss of equipment. At least.
It will take a day to clear it." The frontline scout ran over with sweat on his face and reported to Ulanov.
This news also made everyone on the train sweat. One day may very well determine life or death. Their driving speed is already a little slower than expected. If they waste another day here, resource shortages will inevitably occur.
Caused a lot of casualties.
Facing the huge boulder blocking the train, Ulanov was silent for a moment and then said: "Everyone got off the train. The train is empty now. Disassemble the carriage section by section and we will carry it over! Three hours
, I gave you three hours, but even if someone pulled me on my shoulders, I couldn't get over this obstacle! The emergency repair team will stay here. After the train leaves, we will continue the emergency repairs. We will send individual soldiers after obtaining enough supplies.
Motorboat, I will send you the supplies first, but if the nearest supply station does not retain the supplies... you can probably imagine the outcome, so whoever leaves and who stays is entirely voluntary!"
The supplies carried in the car are only enough for their one trip and are not enough for a round trip. This means that before the people who stay here run out of survival supplies, if they cannot wait for support, they will lose food, moisture, oxygen, protective equipment, etc.
The lack of it is directly exposed to the harsh and harsh natural environment of this planet.
There was great terror between life and death, and everyone fell into a brief silence, but soon someone stood up: "I'll stay! I didn't have any relatives before I entered the virtual world. Even if I die here, I won't be able to survive."
It’s almost worry-free.”
"Count me in. My family is still waiting for material support at the Equator base. If the materials cannot be delivered on time, I might as well die here."
"Haha, count me in. When your wife is reincarnated, she might be my wife in another reincarnation. I can't let you be a hero by yourself."
Soldiers stepped forward one after another, carrying supplies that could only last for three days, and began emergency repairs on the track.
The remaining people all got off the car and used limited tools to support the car body. Then everyone roared with all their strength, and amidst the creaking sound of metal friction, the heavy train was lifted up.
A person is like an ant under the train, carrying heavy objects far exceeding his own weight. He moves his legs in the same rhythm and uses this most primitive method to overcome all the obstacles in front of him.
Difficulties and obstacles.
When everyone was about to collapse, all the trains finally returned to the track. For two hours and thirty-five minutes, even they themselves didn't know how they created such a miracle. The trains started running again, running fast.
Then he rushed towards the next supply point.
The supplies in most areas have been damaged due to years of erosion. The few supply points they encountered before did not have enough supplies. They just hope that if they continue to go north, the situation will be better. In that case, they choose to stay.
The people working on the road repairs at least have a chance to survive.
…
"It's so hot, it's getting hotter and hotter. We are obviously underground, why is it so hot?" After a full day of repairs, the road was finally re-paved, and brand-new tracks replaced the previous twisted steel, but
The team members who were repairing the track were lying on both sides of the track one by one, remaining motionless.
The motors they carry constantly consume energy to help them maintain the temperature inside the spacesuit to ensure that they will not die from overheating. However, the energy will be exhausted sooner or later, and the oxygen they carry will not last long.
Not much more, the high temperature and lack of oxygen are slowly depriving them of their lives, and this is where they lie motionless, trying to maintain the lowest consumption possible. Death while waiting like this is even worse than on the battlefield.
Facing death is even more painful.
At the same time, above the equatorial base, the base once again turned to the sunny side, and the hot sunlight shone down.
Lannuo led the damage control team to the shield tower at the data release point immediately. The sun was melting the tower, and they had to arrange the water cooling facilities on the shield tower before the sun rose. Otherwise, if
If the shield tower is damaged, the data release point will be exposed to direct sunlight, and the fragile data release point will be directly destroyed by the hot sunlight. That will mean that they lose all backup and no one can return to reality from the data world.
However, the weather did not go as planned. The direct sunlight caused the earth's crust to expand, and the rapid changes in high temperature caused earthquakes. The cliff above the data release point suddenly broke, carrying half-melted rocks, whizzing down like a mudslide.
Lan Nuo, who was repairing the shield tower, had already entered instructions on the artificial intelligence system and started the bombardment program before anyone could react. The falling mountain fragments were further shattered under the bombardment of heavy artillery. Even so, they were shattered.
The mountain then hit the shield layer, still creating a huge gap in the base of the shield layer.
The gas inside the shield began to leak wildly, and the damage control team had to separate its limited manpower. Lan Nuo led a group of rescue teams and rushed to the damage site as soon as possible to repair the edges of the broken shield.
"Hurry and get the prefabricated alloy plates. We don't have much atmosphere in reserve. We can't continue to let him leak like this." Lan Nuo's forehead was also covered with sweat. He had never seen such a bad start after traveling so many times, let alone
This time he is using an ordinary human body and does not have any otherworldly abilities.
Hao Ren's extraordinary abilities can only be used in the data world. After returning to the real world, even the physical scanning of the data terminal cannot be used. He is only equivalent to an ordinary person without even a rigid shield.
At most, the level of mental protection is different from ordinary people, but this is of no use at this time.
The members of the damage control team quickly retrieved large-sized alloy plates from the warehouse, and then risked their lives in pairs to transport the alloy plates to the damaged area.
This is a very dangerous task, because you have to brave the typhoon-like wind to deliver the alloy plate to the gap area, wait until the gap is roughly closed, and then weld the tiny gap.
Once he was blown out of the shield by the strong wind, not even the gods could save him. Lan Nuo knew that most people had no experience in this area, so he personally demonstrated with a team member how to lift such a huge piece in the strong wind.
alloy plate without being blown away.
But time was tight, and he could only demonstrate it to everyone once at most. The others had already picked up the boards and tried to plug other gaps without being proficient.
Amidst the strong winds, the plate in the hands of one team member did not remain parallel to the direction of the wind. The wind force that the huge alloy plate withstood was far beyond what his personal strength could resist. Two people were lifted directly from the ground, and one was thrown into the air by the strong wind.
In despair, he flew out of the shield and was blown thousands of meters away. No one could carry out rescue. The other team member who was not blown away was hit by the alloy plate on the hole.
, before he had time to let go of his hand, one arm was directly pressed under the alloy plate by the weight of tens of thousands of tons. Together with the spacesuit on his body, he was crushed into a pulp and fell to the ground in pain. The rescue team rushed to the scene immediately.
Help him seal the wound in his spacesuit and carry him to the rear for rescue.
The eldest son gave everyone a lot of help during the rescue process. The origin blood can repair almost all injuries. As long as there is still a breath left and soaked in the blood pool, the broken limbs can be regrown and almost all diseases can be cured.
Therefore, many soldiers have been seriously injured more than once when facing extremely dangerous tasks. Among the teams repairing the shield tower, some people even used their own hands to prop up the damaged tower to prevent it from collapsing.
The mask plate was as hot as a soldering iron. By the time my teammates helped to weld the broken mask plate, I had already passed out from the pain.
Although the soldiers of each team have tried their best, the previous earthquake was still an unexpected situation. The damage to the shield caused a large amount of atmospheric leakage, which meant that the time they could hold on was further shortened, at least compared to before.
It is shortened by 0.5 days. This 0.5-day material gap is not something that can be tolerated. Instead, it is very likely that the population must be reduced by 5% to be able to survive.
As time goes by, the equatorial base begins to become more and more sultry, the power supply begins to become gradually unstable, and the air gradually becomes turbid. Under normal circumstances, if the energy supply system can be successfully started, then the air purification system and temperature maintenance
The system will be able to operate normally.
There are not enough parts in the base to repair the energy system. The previous photovoltaic power generation facilities were all designed for normal levels of light. Under the scorching sun, most of the power generation facilities have been melted and damaged.
They can now only rely on a small number of nuclear power generation facilities that are still functioning. But the problem is that after thousands of years of decay, the nuclear fuel in most facilities cannot be used. This is only possible in undamaged bases near the poles.
It stores nuclear fuel preserved by special methods. Only with these things can the base resume operations and support until the next group of people wake up.
However, there is still no news from the elite team that went to collect supplies. The wired telegraph system on the planet has been scrapped. Wireless electronics cannot be used at all during the day. The solar wind has brought huge electromagnetic interference. Communication can only be achieved at night. Before that,
The reports received from the newsletter were all bad news.
The supply points that had a probability of containing supplies all turned out to be damaged. It is likely that only in areas close to the poles did supplies survive.
…
"There are still three hours. After three hours, I will enter a deep sleep state to minimize physiological consumption, but that also means that all of us have lost all perception of the outside world, and then we can only resign ourselves to fate. If 8
If no one comes to save us within an hour, everyone will die silently in a coma."
"At least it's better than waiting for death. I don't want to watch my body turn into a barbecue. But you, captain, have to last three hours longer than us."
"Haha... when we chose to stay, weren't we already prepared to die here? But when death is really imminent... alas... who can not be afraid?"
The captain watched each of his teammates activate sleep mode to minimize their physical exertion. He slowly sat up and looked towards the end of the pitch-black track, hoping that there would be a glimmer of light at the end of the track, which would be the only way for them to survive.
hope.
As time went by, the oxygen in the spacesuit was consumed faster and faster. In the sweltering and hypoxic environment, he felt as if he was seeing an hallucination. There seemed to be a bright light flickering in the tunnel in the distance, but soon
He shook his head, laughing at himself that humans are so capable of deceiving themselves, and that when death is imminent, they must give themselves a little hope.
However, the moment the light in the illusion went out, an extremely dazzling beam of light filled his entire field of vision, accompanied by the violent roar of the train.
