In order to speed up the construction of the central cooling tower, the Dark Land tile has launched a large-scale coin-spending mode.
The ice forest is degenerating due to climate influence. The main areas affected are the edges. There are still low temperatures below minus 20 degrees inside, as well as various beasts and monsters living in them.
So first of all, military forces are needed to ensure security.
The mobilized troops, including the two slime mold regiments of the 41st Regiment and 42nd Regiment, as well as all reserve personnel of the 51st Regiment and 52nd Regiment except the 251st Battalion, were also summoned, plus the 22nd Regiment, 107th Battalion, and 23rd Regiment.
Among them, the Slime Mold Legion and the 23rd Regiment will be responsible for some projects and fortifications. The 107th Battalion, as a combat battalion, is mainly responsible for cleaning up threatening organisms.
Then there are the civilian engineering forces.
In a project of this scale, magicians are not very useful. A water pipe weighs several tons. Even if a magician can make it float, it will be difficult for him to work all day long.
Therefore, the focus is still on the number of cranes and heavy trucks.
In order to increase the production capacity of the automobile factory, the General Motorcycle Factory was asked to help produce some frames and axles. In addition, some people from Shuangshi Machinery Factory, Fenggu Machinery Factory and other manufacturers were seconded to participate in shift operations at the automobile factory and motorcycle factory.
It's not enough. Large-scale water pipe construction sites require a lot of pure labor. These are directly transferred to the private sector and people are recruited from Phoenix City. It happens that many people who have moved to Nancheng District from other places have not found stable jobs, and some workshops are affected by logistics. Limiting the operating rate is not enough. Some people can be released.
In short, a construction and safety team of nearly 20,000 people was quickly assembled to start pipeline work in the Ice Forest part in advance.
In addition, about twenty inner court guards were mobilized to help in shifts. Although they cannot completely replace a large number of cranes, at least two cranes are not a big problem, and in the forest area, people are much more flexible than cranes, and they can save a few lives. An ice tree.
We can’t control the ecological environment anymore, let’s survive first.
This was the first time that the Ice Forest was being developed on a large scale. When the excitement started, I discovered that the species chain in the Ice Forest was actually very fragile. There were only five species in total, and one of the three small species was a meat-eater.
...It's not a surprise. The temperature in the forest is so low that insects can't survive. Without the decomposition of fallen leaves, it would have been impossible to support the scale of energy chain transmission.
Anyway, all species in the ice forest were basically wiped out this time, and only a few escaped into the ordinary forest near South Town despite the temperature changes.
The super project is accelerating, and the research institute and manufacturing bureau are not idle, working overtime to produce protective covers.
Time was tight and there were many types of risks that needed to be dealt with, so the protective cover was simply divided into several models that shared magic modules.
Type A cover mainly solves the environmental problem of water vapor layer.
It can't be controlled in the wild. At least the oxygen content inside the city is preserved and the heat of water vapor is isolated.
In fact, it already has certain permeable membrane properties, but the ability to filter oxygen and isolate water vapor and temperature makes the magic array very complicated. It is obviously only a three-ring spell, but the finished product is more complex than a five-ring single-spell magic array.
Type B covers are more difficult because there is a lack of large-scale near-vacuum experimental conditions on the ground. Many experiments require Caroline to build a special floating experimental platform to conduct it several thousand meters in the air, and fly up to collect various things above. elements.
Its function is to ensure internal air pressure and absorb free oxygen. As for carbon dioxide, we still have to leave it to some developed shelter air filtering devices.
Due to the lack of experimental conditions, the first version was unable to guarantee the stability of air pressure. It reserved an adjustment function for mages to use, which could theoretically maintain 0.35 to 0.45 atmospheric pressure.
These protective covers cannot prevent the floating island from being heated by steam, but only provide a relatively normal breathing environment.
No matter what the flaws are, they must be installed in each city first to prevent sudden deaths from happening. Even if the magic array cannot solve the problem, it can at least allow time for rescue.
As time goes forward, there is another war on Elte's side.
After the tectonic plate split, most of the demons' ground troops were useless, but their numbers in the east expanded rapidly, and the increase in the density of the little demons gave them the motivation to expand outward.
It is not difficult to deal with the little devils alone, but there are little devils along the route from Erte to Obert who want to invade from time to time.
These two cities are not yet included in the establishment, but they cannot sit idly by and transfer the remaining members of the 22nd Regiment to establish a defense line. The 12th Regiment will directly open a new military airport next to Green for nearby support.
The first, second, and third regiments were unable to move. The northern defense line in the entire dark land was too wide. After the slime mold army was transferred away, they even gave up their rotation.
In order to prevent disasters, people are being used everywhere, but there are not enough people everywhere. The eastern part of the Fenggu sector is still not stable enough, so we can only launch a unique strategy and temporarily expand the capacity.
The city defense force was partially expanded into the 24th Regiment of the Mixed Blood Legion.
The number of city defense armies varies from place to place. Including the newly formed Heishui and Heishan city defense armies, the total number is close to 20,000 people. A regiment drawn from them is only about 2,000 people, which is a very small proportion.
In fact, according to the needs of floating islands, the city defense army should be reorganized into a floating island guard corps to protect the expanded border. However, the administrative centers of Fenggu and Pangxun plates have not yet been established, so they do not have the conditions for reorganization. For the time being, 24 Tuan, solve the immediate problem first.
The training of the city defense army is relatively limited, but it is not completely incapable of fighting.
At this time, the safety inspection task in the Ice Forest has been basically completed. The 107th Battalion of the 22nd Regiment can be released. One battalion from the 24th Regiment is sent to the Ice Forest to assist the slime mold army, and the rest can follow the 22nd Regiment.
While the kingdom was in turmoil, more and more tectonic plates floated throughout the exile.
When the central cooling tower pipes were closed and there was no time for water injection testing, the Pangxun plate floated first, and the situation became more serious.
The Pangxun plate floats in the sky on one side and leaks oil downward on the other side to the west. Preliminary estimates indicate that the oil reserves in the Nitan City area will be reduced by at least one-third as a result.
There are only a million people using oil in total, and even if some overseas people are included, the number is only three to five million. A little oil leakage does not matter. The problem is that such leakage causes the oil field to lose pressure, and a kowtow machine must be built to pump oil.
The biggest advantage of Quagmire City is not the amount of reserves, but the fact that this area has self-infusing oil. On the surface, it looks like a mud pond. You can just build a ropeway and hoist a bunch of barrels through it and fill it up.
Now that the oil field has lost pressure, it will take time to re-drill wells or build kowtow machines. All production in Quanquan City will be stopped in a short period of time.
But having said that, the suspension of Quagmire City's processing capacity will not have a great impact on the Phoenix Kingdom.
When the central cooling tower project was accelerating, Wang Qi also arranged for North and South Pangxun and Jinjin Chemical to build oil storage tanks. At this time, tens of thousands of tons of refined oil were also stored. The oil had been stored in various station areas through tank trucks earlier. There are also several thousand tons, so it should be no problem to resume production in Quagmire City. If that doesn't work, you can use your sugar reserves to make some alcohol.
Another way is coal liquefaction, which is similar to the steam fractionation of petroleum. It also allows coal and water to react to produce aromatic hydrocarbons. Because of the large damage to the equipment and poor continuous productivity, the cost will be relatively high, but it is not a consideration if there is no oil left. cost time.
The money released in this round is a bit large, and there is a lot of private liquidity, but the risk is not high. Anyway, if we firmly grasp the prices of sugar water and iron, other things will not rise. Once the liquidity is completed, the redistribution will be stable. Come down.
According to actual surveys, most people also know that the future will be difficult. Many people save their money or use it to store sugar, salt and other shelf-stable foods, buy warm clothes, etc. Liquid funds do not flow, and the impact is very narrow.
In short, Wang Qi has arranged everything properly, and the people below just do their work and wait for take-off.
