In the months following the establishment of the cable car and balloon projects, the situation took a turn for the worse.
There are almost two small earthquakes every month in the territory. Occasionally, local earthquakes will reach magnitude 4 or above. Although this magnitude does not affect the safety of concrete and wooden buildings, production must be stopped and all equipment must be inspected after the aftershocks pass.
Affected by this, the total domestic product volume is declining, which can also be proved by the shipment volume of the two factories of the iron factory.
In addition, earthquakes are accompanied by greater horizontal ground displacement.
Basically the cracks opened by the first earthquake, the largest fault appeared between Xincheng and Hongshicheng, with the gap expanding by almost one meter every month.
In the first few months, it could be saved through emergency repairs and elevating part of the railway. However, as time goes by, the level difference will increase at an accelerated rate. If the structure continues to be elevated, there will be problems with the stability of the structure and the safety of the train climbing. As long as Can urgently mobilize manpower and resources to build a transfer platform.
The transfer platform was quickly landed and expanded to form two new stations. When the goods outside arrived at the south pass of the new city, the carriages were lifted directly onto it as a whole, and another locomotive was attached to continue walking.
The cable car project, which is a joint venture between the Locomotive and Ironworks Factory, is also undergoing pilot testing at this location.
Although it was only a small-scale experiment, it did help to alleviate the public's panic about the restoration of the lord, and also suppressed the momentum of people gathering on a large scale in the dark place.
The part of the Dark Land lifted up by geological movements exceeds 20,000 square kilometers, but the part covered by soil is less than one-third of the area. The remaining half of this part belongs to the Ice Forest, including artificial forests and Nanzhen Forest Farm, but There is relatively little room for development.
It doesn't matter whether the city itself has soil or not. The various trees planted by the artifact seeds are still mainly using volcanic ash as a fertility promoter and manure at this stage.
But people cannot rely entirely on sugar water. Shenshu sugar water only contains basic calories and some vitamins, a small amount of digestible fiber and starch, and lacks protein. Drinking this can only keep you alive, but cannot gain weight and develop bones.
The protein part, whether it is plant or animal, must eventually fall on the soil. Even high-tech Xiaoqiang needs soil to grow trees to provide sawdust and fallen leaves.
Therefore, the Dark Land will not be able to include the entire population for a long time. After flying, the kingdom will still have to be managed as two blocks.
The land gap and the gradual decline in production capacity are not the most serious problems at this stage.
The most serious situation is that the water level of the Emerald River has dropped significantly, and the water level that was originally suitable for small boats has turned into a shoal again.
After careful exploration including overseas operations, it was located downstream that the swamp area was leaking water due to ground fissures.
This swampy area can be understood as the floodplain for the Emerald River and Luna River. When the water level rises, water from the Luna River will pour back into the Emerald River, flooding the area where the Emerald River passes. Over time, there will be enough impermeable sediment to form a swamp.
Now the water level in the entire swamp has dropped due to cracks in the land, and the underwater soil layer where aquatic plants are attached has been exposed in some areas.
The response is to build dams to block rivers and maintain water levels.
However, what can be solved is only within the country, and there is no solution outside the country.
The Emerald River is a river with a fast flow but a relatively limited flow. The scale of the dam is limited. It can take several thousand people to work for two months to build a suitable dam.
There is no solution to the falling water level of the Luna River.
According to the news brought back by the businessmen, there were many breaks and leaks in the entire Luna River, so that the water level dropped by a full five meters in half a year.
Five meters is quite an exaggeration for a natural river. It is so exaggerated that now Pangxun Harbor can walk directly on the river bed and walk into Pangxun City from the original river channel.
In the first two months, Fugang was able to use lengthened plank roads and dredging to keep up with the receding river water. Now that the upper reaches of the Luna River have been partially cut off, Pang Xunduan has been completely helpless.
In order to ensure that the refined oil reserves can withstand a period of time after the land is lifted into the sky, the cable car ropeway that has just completed several experimental projects was first erected in the river, giving priority to ensuring the transportation of refined oil and butyl rubber on the south bank.
The overall panic is unavoidable at this stage, but because the scope is too wide, we don’t know where the boundary is, and the way out is cut off, everyone can only wait and see what happens. The upper limit of panic is limited. In addition to the increase in crime, there is no increase in crime in various places. In the case of large-scale personnel migration, various previously established production capabilities have not been completely disrupted.
From a relatively high perspective, Xiao Wang and Wang Qi took advantage of the manpower left by the reduction in production capacity to make more pilot and experimental preparations.
I'm afraid there will be more problems after the water lifts off, and we can't wait until death is imminent to find a solution.
As for the water storage device, there is no need to consider it. The artificial lake and deepened river channel dug in the green section of the Emerald River have sufficient capacity. The lake area of Elte City on the east side of the border is also in the same section.
The water of Lake Elte is formed by the mountain springs in the mountains in the eastern part of the Dark Land. Most of it is in the Dark Land block where Phoenix City is located, and some is in another block further east. Only about one-tenth of the flow comes from the wind. Valley plate.
After takeoff, the condensation on the mountain in the eastern part of the Wind Valley plate will be greatly reduced, and the evaporation in the Elte Lake area also needs to be focused on.
It's a pity that even though Elta was taken care of in every aspect, she still didn't agree to naturalize. She only said that it would take time. Maybe she wanted to take advantage of the last period of time to get a pension?
Danshui mainly comes from atmospheric water, and atmospheric water, except for rain and snow, mainly forms and gathers through condensation due to the temperature difference between day and night. The water is as high as the mountains are, which is condensation water.
Rainfall and snowfall cannot be controlled, and it is not known whether the plate can reach the snowfall temperature after taking off. What can be solved artificially is the condensation water part.
In fact, after the cooling tower of the Super Engineering Center is completed, a reservoir will gradually be formed through condensation. You can also try to promote the ice tree to form a condensate reservoir in other areas. However, the growth cycle of the ice tree is a bit long, and I am afraid that it will not be able to keep up with the development of the situation. progress.
It just so happened that the part of the central cooling tower that was originally planned to be connected to the hot water in the Fenggu Industrial Zone could not be built. The industrial hot water needed to be cooled locally. A two-pronged approach of artificial condensation and forest planting was used, hoping to make up for the evaporation loss.
Coupled with the dam blocking the downstream, even if a small amount of mountain spring water flows upstream, there is no need to be too anxious for a while.
Along with the condensation project, there is also the insulation project.
This aspect is mainly people and buildings.
For every kilometer above sea level, the temperature drops by six degrees, and the atmosphere in the penal colony may be more solid, but it also drops by five degrees for every kilometer above sea level.
This means that as long as you fly two thousand meters, the average temperature will drop to 10 to 20 degrees. At this temperature, some hybrids already need to keep warm, which requires textile companies to make some thicker clothing and bedding.
Buildings are relatively fine. As long as the thickness of concrete buildings is ensured, there is no structural strength crisis above minus 50 degrees Celsius. It only needs to be filled with insulation layers as appropriate.
There is currently no particularly good choice for thermal insulation materials. Due to the sudden drop in production capacity and transportation capacity, the production and research and development of polyethylene, polypropylene and other polymers that Gold Chemical was originally promoting have also stopped.
Without the support of foam materials, the best combination of thermal insulation effect and cost is nothing more than asbestos and cork.
Asbestos's carcinogenicity level is too high, and it cannot be used to stick to already built walls. In the end, the only option is cork, which needs to be imported.
Speaking of wood, things are also strange in the Dark Lands.
It stands to reason that the dark land before the big collision was a high-heat area, and there should be a large number of fast-growing plants. However, in fact, due to the existence of the ice forest, the main output of Nanzhen Forest Farm is hardwood. There is a small amount of cork distributed from the new city to the Magic Academy, but it is too scattered and I have not considered planting in different areas before.
Imported softwood is particularly far away.
Two sources, one is balsa wood from the west coastline of the Ongi Kingdom. This is an ultra-light wood with an average density of only 0.2 after drying. It is very suitable for insulation, cork, etc., but it is too light and not very valuable. , processed into standard boards and filled to the brim with a 75-cubic standard container. Even with the fixed transportation structure, it can't even hold 13 tons. However, there is no large-scale processing capacity locally, so it is impossible to meet the demand for container transportation, and the amount of dry logs loaded is even less.
The other source is further away. It has to be transported across the Luna River from near the snowy mountains in the south. It is mainly softwood similar to pine wood. The distance in between is more than 2,000 kilometers. It is impossible to transport it under the current situation.
Now we can only subsidize the import of balsa wood and increase reserves. In order to avoid the additional fire risk caused by flammable balsa wood, we must increase fire prevention publicity when it is actually put into use.
An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended to me a book-chasing app, Yeguo Reading! It’s so easy to use. I rely on it to pass the time while driving or before going to bed by reading and listening to books. You can download yeguoyuedu.】
