Unconsciously, it began to rain lightly on the beach where the advance base was located. At first, no one paid much attention to this climate change, but as the rain continued, everyone unexpectedly observed that the distant coastline was moving this way!
If you look down from a high altitude, you will find that the landing point chosen by Rong Xiang looks like a desert. But this desert is not dry but full of moist water vapor, and there are even densely distributed
Many. This is because the seemingly desert-like terrain is actually a huge coastal beach! At this time, with the rain, the distant coastline is quickly approaching here, which is obviously a 'high tide'!
At this time, an engineer who was building the base suddenly changed his expression and said: "No, the foundation of this base is too shallow. If it is affected by high tides, it is possible that it will be washed away by the sea tide. The foundation must be reinforced, otherwise the space elevator will be damaged.
risks of."
Xue Yanling's expression also changed, and she quickly looked at Rong Xiang beside her: "Is there any good plan?" There was no way, this could actually be regarded as Rong Xiang's mistake. He did not expect that the tide of this planet would be like this.
.
"It's too late to deepen the foundation now... In this way, everyone and I will go to build a dam in front of the base. We only need to block the impact of the waves in advance to ensure that the base is safe." Rong Xiang responded quickly to this.
, even faster than everyone expected.
Because this kind of situation is rarely encountered in this era, let alone heard about it, so everyone is confused the first time they encounter this situation. But Rong Xiang had no knowledge about floods and water conservancy in his previous life.
It can be said that I have never eaten pork and I have seen pigs running away, and I immediately thought of how to deal with it.
Just two minutes after proposing this plan, he had quickly designed a trapezoidal embankment structure with the help of the auxiliary system, and sent the design plan to everyone's personal terminal.
"Of course, necessary fixation is still needed. I also plan to install additional fixed pillars around the base wall, a total of 32 pillars. I think this is enough for our base to survive this wave." Rong Xiang then followed.
Supplementary plans are also given.
His quick thinking and excellent response convinced everyone, including Xue Yanling, and the group immediately started working according to his design plan. The super productivity of the interstellar era came into play at this time, and a group of people began to rush to work according to his design plan.
Thick alloy pillars were quickly produced, and then carried by engineering mechas to bury foundation pillars around the base.
The dam wall in front of the base has not fallen behind. The alloy pillars were driven deeply into the sand as a fixation and frame, and then the hot metal liquid was poured directly into it... The wealthy Xueyan Ling actually planned to
Directly create a full metal structure dam!
The rain continued to fall, and there was even water accumulation in the base. This was also one of Rong Xiang's design flaws. He did not expect that the entire base would be soaked in water, so the original drainage facilities could not be used.
But no one is interested in these now. They just notice that the sea level in the distance is getting closer and closer, and they can even hear the sound of waves and tides.
"Judging from the reconnaissance footage fed back from the Gemini, there should be no huge waves forming on the distant sea, and our measures should be sufficient." An engineer seemed to be reporting the situation, but more to himself. Because this
There are already enough weird situations on this planet, and he can't guarantee that everything will be absolutely foolproof.
Rong Xiang and Xue Yanling were both standing at the top of the dam wall in front of them. Theoretically, this 200-meter-high dam wall can definitely withstand any flood peak, but without seeing it with your own eyes, you will feel uneasy after all.
"boom!"
The waves bombarded the dam wall under their feet, causing a burst of vibration. However, the dam wall, which was entirely made of superalloy, was very stable and showed no signs of shaking. The seawater could not break through this crescent-shaped high wall, so it could only move towards it.
The two sides flowed separately. The forward base protected in the middle by the crescent-shaped dam wall completely avoided the most powerful waves. It only allowed seawater to fill the artificial bay formed by the dam wall. The water surface outside the base wall was also gentle.
Slowly increasing...
After a long time, the sea finally calmed down again. But at this time, the sea level had exceeded half the height of the base wall, and the entire base was undoubtedly submerged in water.
"So the next step is to work too hard on the foundation." Xue Yanling rubbed her head with a headache, feeling that everything since arriving on this planet was a mess, and she was already a little overwhelmed.
I originally thought this was a time to relax a little, but another staff member exclaimed: "What's going on? The base's energy loss rate has increased!"
"Don't be excited, how much has it increased?" Xue Yanling looked a little nervous as she stood on the top of the dam wall, but her condescending posture and steady words still calmed the increasingly nervous crowd.
"Report to the military leader, the increase is 0.1%... I'm sorry, I'm too nervous." The man said with some embarrassment.
Xue Yanling breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to comfort the nervous young man, but Rong Xiang next to him suddenly jumped into the sea water in front of him!
"What's wrong with you?!" Xue Yanling stamped her feet angrily but did not jump down because she noticed that Rong Xiang didn't really jump into the water, but clung to a dam wall above the water.
He seems to be studying something.
"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Rong Xiang responded in awe, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Let me talk about the bad news first. I am in a bad mood right now. I want to save the good news for last, which might make me happy." Xue Yanling responded helplessly and playfully. Because she was sure that this
It shouldn't be a big deal.
"The bad news is that our dam wall is broken." Rong Xiang answered surprisingly.
Before Xue Yanling had time to ask a question, her retinas received the vision projection from Rong Xiang... She quickly saw the dam wall under her feet. There were many large and small objects scattered on the super alloy wall.
A small impact crater! In the waves, there was something that was able to create a crater in the dam wall made of super alloy!
"What caused that?" Xue Yanling asked.
"I'll tell you the good news next... The culprit should be this kind of ore that was washed over by the waves..." Rong Xiang broke off a piece of black-gold ore embedded in a pit and said with determination.
: "At the same time, I can also confirm that it is also the culprit that caused our base's energy loss to accelerate by 0.1%!"
"You mean, a kind of ore is absorbing our energy..."
