The underground base is connected to the city wall outside, so there is no need to worry about oxygen, as long as the air circulation is maintained. There is no shortage of food base, and many people carry a lot of food inside.
Of course, there are also some rich and powerful people who, with their own men and supplies, evacuate first when the mutated creatures attack.
The only problem now is the lack of water. Most of the water storage tanks are on the ground. There are too many people in the base. The current storage capacity is completely insufficient. If this continues, it will be difficult to maintain the most necessary living conditions.
The flickering low-quality light bulbs exude a light white halo, and the people mixed with smelly sweat are crowded in such a narrow space. There is almost no room for people to move. Many times they can only go to the toilet in place, and more people don't care. As long as these stinky things are not torn apart by the mutated creatures outside, that is the best situation.
The arrival of Zhang Xu and others attracted the attention of many people. He stopped at the door and scanned everyone. Most people were squatting on the spot, unable to even do the simple action of stretching their legs, and could only slowly stand up and stretch. He would stretch his limbs, and eventually he would sit still where he was when he was tired of standing.
There were two people beside him, one was Yao Yuanyuan, and the other was the director of the construction department of the base. He was over fifty but still energetic. He handed Zhang Xu a report. Fan Hua came back and took over the underground base, but he still I hope Zhang Xu can go out and deal with that ape king.
"The main problem now is the lack of water. Even using recycling and filtration technology can only reduce water usage... It can last for a week at most, and today is the fourth day!" The Minister of Construction sighed, and the three of them planned to pass through the crowd and head to the base. Entrance hatch.
"Well, I understand, Minister..." Zhang Xu frowned, and he was more concerned about the state of the survivors here. Many of them were so weak that they didn't even want to swallow the food in their hands.
The lack of water in the base is no longer a small problem. The more than 200,000 base soldiers give priority to drinking water. After all, they are the armed forces of the base. The mutated creatures stationed outside are still eyeing them. Apart from these soldiers, there are still hundreds of thousands of survivors in the base. There is enough food, but the water source is a big problem. Even if the base's quantum power station is stopped and the backup special stratified cooling water is used to replenish it, it will not be enough!
The major energy supplies in the 23rd century are of different types and treated in different ways. The first one is thermal power generation, which was most commonly used in the last century. Country Z has worked hard to develop nuclear power technology for the carbon cycle plan. This method of power generation was quickly abandoned, and is still used by backward countries. The dismantled equipment gave some small gatherings a little more life in the last days.
The second one goes down to the civilians and goes up to the nuclear magnetic reactor used by the Golden Dragon Armor. This is a small controllable nuclear fusion Ark reactor. The reason why it is arc-shaped is not that energy can be obtained from the collapse of space as ordinary people think. Using strong magnets to cause space distortion, its construction cost is not too high, and the maintenance cost also requires frequent replacement of fuel, which is the most troublesome.
It does not take time and effort to monitor in real time, and is less dangerous. Unless the mechanical parts are aging or accidentally damaged, it is the safest.
The second type is industrial-level nuclear fission power generation. Heavy nuclear fission can easily pollute the environment. Sometimes there is improper operation. If a nuclear leak occurs, a large amount of water is needed for cooling, and special geographical advantages can be established.
Most of them are built in coastal or lakeside river areas, and some are built in basins surrounded by mountains to prevent radiation dust from flying out. There are too many disadvantages. Many alien immigrant countries such as Z country have rarely used it. Most are protected by seawater or a large amount of fresh water.
The third type is nuclear fusion power generation, which is used in power stations that cooperate with other companies and foreign countries. It will not pollute the environment. There are tens of thousands of such power stations. In general, electricity bills in big cities are free. Large-scale wireless charging allows people to Live a happy life.
Use magnetic fields to bind high temperatures of hundreds of millions of degrees to generate electricity. If an accident does occur, it will need to be handled in layers. The first part is to make the space automatically collapse and absorb a certain amount of material. It will stop naturally, and then use magnetic fields to bind the high temperatures. , and finally use special condensed water to lower the temperature to protect personnel and instruments.
The fourth type is the latest technology owned by some powerful countries. The technology used in quantum power stations is called quark fusion. It produces 8 times the energy of ordinary nuclear fusion and does not require much fuel. The 53.27-kilometer hadron collider in country Z , it can produce enough quark fuel for one year to power quantum power stations across the country for several years.
Each Tianzihao base has an independent quantum power station. There are 253 such Tianzihao bases in country Z, with an average of 7 such large bases in each province!
Although it took less than five years to develop a quantum power station, it was enough to allow every base to use free electricity for decades.
Humanity still has many unknown technologies waiting to be mastered. Even if quantum fusion can allow spacecraft to sail for decades, it cannot even reach sub-light speed. It is only 20% of the speed of light. Navigation without fuel is a dead end after all!
At present, human beings are still exploring nuclear fusion, which is cold nuclear fusion. As the name suggests, nuclear fusion reactions can be carried out without hundreds of millions of temperatures, and power generation can be completed at room temperature. This is a complete mastery of nuclear fusion technology. Performance, so use the antimatter generator to study the next step of scientific research.
Hypothetical nuclear cold fusion, antimatter reactors, etc. all need to be explored by humans. Black holes are terrifying restricted areas that swallow life. Humanity's cutting-edge scientists also yearn to use them as energy. Is this really a delusion? No one knows the future! Only people who live to witness its existence can find out!
Quantum power stations, like ordinary fusion reactors, only require a small amount of special cooling water, and the chemical materials required for dilution are simply insufficient. Even if the base can dilute them into ordinary drinking water, it will not be able to provide drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people for more than a week. , and the gorilla king outside obviously has this patience. It has been here for three full days, and I believe it is not less than that many days.
The wisdom possessed by the orangutan king cannot be measured by size. After all, humans will have someone to teach them knowledge more or less from childhood to adulthood. It may be their parents or close friends, or they may be teachers or classmates. In addition to being unable to speak, the orangutan king , I believe it is no different from most adults’ thinking, it’s just that no one is supervising it to learn!
Ordinary survivors who don't pay attention to cleanliness are very dirty. In addition, staying in this blind and humid semi-completed engineering base, many people were still in a state of not having enough to eat and only had the relief distributed by the base. Food can last forever, and the chaotic crowds now make food distribution difficult.
The hunters have weapons, and most of them have killed zombies. They have sophisticated weapons. They rest on the built concrete floor, which separates them from the ordinary survivors who have not built a clear vacuum.
Zhang Xu walked through the crowd, and everyone separated a path with self-awareness. They knew that this man was a major contributor to the zombie wave. Without him, the last zombie wave would have died. Hunters, base soldiers, and survivors all I am in awe of Zhang Xu.
"Brother, will we be eaten by the monsters outside?" Zhang Xu and the others walked into the crowd. An immature child squeezed next to Zhang Xu. His gray arms were holding Zhang Xu's thighs and he raised his head and asked softly. .
The mother behind him immediately pulled him back behind her and apologized quickly: "Sir, the child is not sensible. He didn't soil your pants, right..." Her tone of voice was trembling, obviously thinking of some unbearable past.
Zhang Xu looked at his chapped lips and felt bad, but he couldn't give him water casually. He once gave him a pack of biscuits at a gathering place and the man was dismembered. These pictures were vivid in his mind. At that time, he felt guilty that his kindness actually caused the man's death.
Some people just can't stand the success of those around them. Their hearts are always narrow and they always want to get ahead but can't stand the success of the people they know! They will crowd out! They will be weird!
Zhang Xu smiled and shook his head. He knew the attitude of the people in the base towards him. Awe was more of a fear. After all, ordinary evolvers were domineering in the base. As the most powerful evolver, Zhang Xu may also make some survivors who have been persecuted by the evolutionists feel fear, and they don't blame them.
"Don't worry! Big brother will go out and fight off all the monsters later~" Zhang Xu squatted in front of the child, caressing his greasy head with his left hand, and secretly gave him a bottle of evolution potion with his right hand.
The mother behind her moved her eyes slightly, looking at Zhang Xu's back before leaving, as if she was trying her best to remember something. The child didn't know what he got. It was green and transparent. He thought it was a canned drink, so he was about to take it. When he showed it off in front of his mother, his mother immediately asked him to keep it and hide it. Fortunately, no one else saw it.
A bottle of evolution potion is a hot commodity for others, but it is no longer of much use to Zhang Xu and the others. It is a medicine that can replenish energy during treatment. Zhang Xu sincerely hopes that this child can be well protected in the future. His mother was not harmed, but there were too many such children in the last days. Even if he was invincible, he could not save them all.
"...Yuanyuan, you should go back too. Liu Yuan needs you to take care of him." After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he turned his back to Yao Yuanyuan and closed the button of the isolation gate with his left hand. At the last moment of closing the door of the climbing elevator, he faced Yao Yuanyuan turned around and smiled, which was regarded as a wave goodbye between the two of them.
"Huh, King Ape, this battle is really a narrow escape..." Zhang Xu is going to fight against a King Ape who is over level 20. There is a King King beside him, and there is an army of mutated creatures behind him, and he is alone. , without worries, you can ensure that you will not make mistakes in your battle.
It is not a good thing that people's emotions are suppressed now. The emotions they have been accumulating will eventually explode when life is endangered. Without water, will they really watch themselves die?
Before being caught, the fish will also struggle constantly due to pain. Even a living fish is like this. As intelligent human beings, gathered in this Tianzihao base from all directions, they have experienced life and death, and now they will suffer from lack of water. Death is a bit ridiculous just thinking about it.
The survivors will definitely not give up their lives casually. They will resist, kill people around them, snatch water sources, and bite off the blood vessels of people around them to replenish water. When that time comes, who will care about this? If this happens, I'm afraid hunters and evolvers with weapons will strike first!
