While dealing with internal development direction, we must also keep an eye on the outside.
After the reservoir artificial glacier project was started, there were four main conditions.
The first part is the topographic change in the outward growing part of the edge of the floating island.
The edges of some floating islands began to slide down, while others began to rise.
This trend can be said to be quite bad.
When the slope turns downward, driving and pedestrians are in great danger. When the angle reaches a certain level, it becomes an unusable zone.
Fortunately, the two and a half sections of our house are of this type, which is actually much better than the upward warping situation.
The upward-warping ones are mainly divided into five plates in the northern area, and occasionally there will be one in other areas. The correlation seems to be all high-density areas of Warcraft, with almost no settlements.
The upturned edges mean that the entire surface of the floating island has become a plate shape, which is equivalent to a natural flood zone. This is also the reason why our own plate is relatively lucky in comparison.
Because the growth rate of the rock is limited, it is not yet clear whether it will eventually turn into a plate, a bowl, or a ball, but no matter which one, the situation is much more dangerous than the sliding terrain.
Due to its plate shape, once the amount of rainfall exceeds evaporation, a large amount of water will inevitably accumulate. Even if it is a non-flat terrain, at least half of the area will be flooded after several rains.
Bowl-shaped, the sunshine time in the inner area will be shortened to six to seven hours, the evaporation will be further reduced, and it is easier to store water. Probably only a few mountain tops will be spared.
There is no need to worry about water accumulation in the spherical shape, but without light, almost all plants and animals will die. Only the fungi and the animals that live around the fungi can continue.
The changes in the marginal terrain have not affected my home for the time being, so don't worry about it and just keep waiting and watching.
But it is not completely wait and see. For example, the cableway platform may need to make technical improvements to cope with longer and longer distances, and it is impossible to build a new platform in the sliding zone.
The second type of situation is mainly reflected in underground cities.
The underground city has gone through several rounds of changes since it became a floating island. Now there are no ordinary people and workers in the cave. There is only a small city defense force still guarding the outpost near the entrance, and they are ready to pack up and run away at any time. Prepare.
After years of mining and exploration, the underground city cave complex can be generally determined to be an ant nest-like structure, which can also be called a potato-like structure. There are many small pipes connecting the huge underground hall structures.
These halls range from large to small. Small ones, such as the place where you first encountered the underground tentacle monster, are mostly underground lakes with less than one hectare of action space. It is as big as Hall No. 2. The complete outpost tree only occupies a small piece of land in the middle. The ground area is often dozens of hectares.
Before the floating island took off, frequent earthquakes scared all the people working inside out, and the outposts also received orders not to go into the mines.
After taking off, small-scale mining resumed briefly, but later the terrain changes caused people to get lost, and they were driven out again.
The situation has become more serious recently. The branches of the pipe cave have become longer and more complex. Because the risk of getting lost is too high, the city defense army does not dare to go too deep.
There seems to be a possibility that the earliest caveman remains and life relics found in cave exploration probably come from the last fragmentation period.
If this hypothesis is true, then there may be monsters in the dungeon in the future, or new passages to the main world and the devil world may appear.
In short, we need to be careful. For the time being, the dungeons should be suspended, and those without jobs will be organized to move to other cities. Anyway, the total number of people is relatively limited.
Similar to the situation in the underground city, there may be Pang Xundong's underground lake and the underground water system of Xincheng, both of which have experienced abnormal drops in water levels.
Comparing the two places, the situation in Pangxun is slightly better, because there is a large enough aquifer to replenish the underground lake, and the water level seems to be declining at a slower rate.
In Xincheng, there is no good solution for now. We can only change the pumping station originally connected to the cooling tower circulation pipe into a water supply station. The connecting water pipes do not need to be touched. The cold water that is already connected only needs to build a few new pools. It should be OK. It must be completed before the small lake in the basin connected to the groundwater dries up.
It seems that cavitation is a common change. I hope it will not evolve into a threat from the underground, otherwise it will be a bit uncomfortable to further expand the army under the current logistics conditions.
We don’t even want to professionalize the city defense force, because they actually have certain police functions, including transportation and security functions. The current transfer to the floating island border security is only temporary until the single culture facility of the slime mold center reaches a certain level. If the problem of the slime mold army improves, they will disband, leaving some of them to be transferred to the police system.
The third type of situation is the most abnormal, coming from the demon clan refreshing section in the northern area.
Through high-altitude observation, it was found that there seemed to be a problem with the passage of the refresh plate. During the ninety reconnaissance activities, the Air Force successfully completed three airborne observations and did not observe the abnormal colors that were originally obvious.
The color of the cross-world passage is very conspicuous. It is obviously a three-dimensional or even higher thing. When observed with the naked eye, it appears to be a two-dimensional pigment mixture. No shadows can be seen. It can be easily picked out from the complex ground background.
It would be great if it disappeared, but this direction is too optimistic. Judging from the overall trend after arriving in the penal colony, it is far from a period of peace. After all, the high-end combat forces of all parties have not yet participated in the war.
It's more likely that it's being transferred or otherwise being restructured.
If transferred, perhaps underground, the existing number of channels should not be enough to allocate them to each plate. Of course, this is also a wild guess. The predecessors in the penal colony did not leave any written information to systematically study the fragmentation process. In many cases, there is no good way except to guess the next development.
The prophet...may be a solution, but Wang Qi doesn't believe it.
However, Wang Qi's belief was not that he completely rejected metaphysics, but that since he himself had learned the three-ring magic, he was no longer ignorant of prophecies.
To put it bluntly, prediction is similar to a quantum statistical algorithm.
Undecided quantum mechanics is a joke. The predicted situation is really a matter of the quantum system, and there is even a time crystal in it.
Anyway, this is a type of spell that relies on existing information statistics and uses magic to deduce the future. It is impossible for a human prophet who has never seen the starry sky in the exile to predict when a meteor will fall on the surface of the exile.
Once you rely on statistics, it's over. Obviously, with the current efficiency of social operation and information transmission, the collection of basic information and basic knowledge cannot be close to reality, and the results obtained will certainly not be much better than guessing.
To give a hammer, Wang Qi now speculates that monsters will appear in the dungeon in the next twenty years. The results are only "will happen" and "will not happen". As long as the prediction does not expand to multiple samples, the single cave group in the dungeon will not be affected. , no matter how you guess, there is a 50% probability of hitting.
Find a fortune teller, study the cave group first, and then make a prediction. The result may be more accurate, but it will not be of much help in actual operations.
Even if it is confirmed that the prophet's prediction hit rate is 85%, once the warning team evacuates, once they step into a 15% pit, it will inevitably cause greater casualties. Therefore, you must be prepared when you can, and it will not be because the prediction has a higher hit rate. And there are changes.
Only when the power is insufficient and the allocation cannot meet the needs of all aspects, can the prophet's suggestions be transformed into effective decisions. In fact, it still has to bear a lot of risks.
In order to prevent people's lives from being endangered by things that suddenly emerged from the caves, the border areas made some adjustments, squeezed out a little strength, and squatted at several points connecting the underground and the surface. If something really went wrong, the Air Force could buy time. and helping ground troops stabilize the situation.
The fourth type of situation is still an old problem, the change of the vapor layer.
It stands to reason that as the entire planet is getting bigger, the heat in the earth's core should be sealed by the new rock layers.
But I don’t know whether it was the friction of the rock mass or other reasons that generated more heat. The vapor cloud was climbing higher again, and this time it even caused the overall temperature to increase to a certain extent.
According to data collected from various monitoring points, the average temperature in half a month has increased by 3 degrees, especially the nighttime temperature, which has increased by nearly 5 degrees at the peak. Humidity still fluctuates between 80% and 90%, with a few stations measuring 100%.
The current average day and night temperature has reached 30 degrees, and the maximum temperature during the day is 35 degrees, which is still bearable, but if it goes up to another five degrees, work and production will be suspended again.
The Dark Floor block has a cooling tower cycle that can be fully activated at any time, which can at least keep the factory temperature from being too high. The cold water pipes also help reduce local humidity. The Wind Valley block is more difficult.
For the time being, we can only popularize the freezing spell in various places, so that if the temperature is too high, we can ensure that there are enough mages to cool down public places such as wet markets and shelters.
