Just now, Luo Anqi and his wife were still debating whether to lend the "large plasma collision accelerator" that was originally 003's highest technological secret to the outsider in front of them, as Wen Xiaojun said. use.
The reason why the two of them are so entangled is also very simple.
Because that is the biggest reliance of today's 003, or the human beings living in the entire shelter system.
Regarding mutant sea beasts, even after all the high-tech researchers have spent their entire lives, people are constantly trying to break through and become stronger.
But for the mutated sea beasts, there is still no good solution.
The reason is also very simple.
quantity!
According to the latest statistics, the number of humans in the entire water world has not yet exceeded the three million mark.
This is only based on the policy of encouraging childbirth.
You must know that although the conditions of single-digit shelters are indeed very good, the conditions of shelters with more than tens and hundreds of points are actually far inferior to those of levels such as 003 shelters.
Some even find it difficult to maintain basic necessities of life. If the physical fitness of human descendants after the end of the world had not been greatly enhanced with the blessing of genetics, I am afraid that the number of three million people would be nothing more than a mirror.
You have to ask, is three million enough?
Far from enough!
According to rough estimates, the number of mutated sea beasts in the entire water world, not counting the lowest level ones (that is, the lowest level sea beasts that an ordinary person can fight against alone with a weapon and a lot of effort), is also small. Definitely more than 120 million.
What does this mean?
It means that if they really want to fight against each other, then on average each human being will have to fight against more than 400 mutated sea beasts, which is not the kind of one that ordinary people can deal with!
No chance of winning at all!
The black-tech large-scale plasma collision accelerator and the most important additional cabin for traversers have become the key to whether humans can survive the pursuit and interception of mutated sea beasts (as for why these mutated sea beasts have a soft spot for humans and insist on killing them all, we have already said I have already explained it and will not go into details here), retaining the key hope of a seed.
In this case, it is normal to be confused.
Although according to Wen Xiaojun, this foreign time traveler obviously traveled over because of something wrong, but he was unable to go back.
So much so that they need the help of the indigenous people to be able to go back.
To be honest, if this was the case in the past, Luo Anqi would definitely support it with both hands in order to save her son.
It's very simple. If this person doesn't leave, how will her son Lu Donglin have the chance to come back?
Even if you come back, you have nowhere to go, okay?
The body is occupied!
Of course, that was in peaceful times.
The Luo family, a large family that was a powerful family before the end of the world, naturally had far more influence in the water world in peacetime than it does in the current water world.
Not to mention anything else, the number of people it can influence is more than double the total number of people in the water world today.
Of course, before the end of the world, there were over thirty times as many people on this planet as there are today.
But even this can illustrate a problem.
That is, the Luo family can be regarded as one of the top wealthy families before and after the end of the world.
It is the kind of wealthy family that truly grasps the economy, military and politics, and is not just rich.
Otherwise, do you think that a so-called wealthy family with nothing but money can build such a large underwater city before the end of the world?
Obviously impossible!
And when the planet inevitably entered the apocalyptic water world for some reasons, the Luo family's status not only did not decline, but became even more stable.
While the legendary Vault 001 and 002 have never appeared, Vault 003 is the well-deserved number one underwater city in the world.
Yes, a city, not a sanctuary.
Whether in the minds of the residents of Vault 003 or the residents of other shelters, this huge "shelter" is completely different from other shelters.
This established the unshakable supremacy of the Luo family, the Lu family, and the other three families, a total of five families, in human society in this apocalyptic water world.
If you want to wear this crown, you must bear its weight.
The improvement of status naturally brings corresponding responsibilities.
A total of three million people is really not a lot for a planet. This planet that can already be called Mercury is about the same size as the Earth, and the climate and environment are not much different (not taking into account the special environment of the water world) case).
Strictly speaking, these three million are the only three million people left.
And once the mutated sea beast army finds any of these shelters, the consequences will be unbearable.
The smallest shelter, Vault 109, has about tens of thousands of people.
But there are no corresponding experts there, and it is too far away from other shelters. If you are unlucky, the situation of being annihilated after being attacked is very likely to happen.
And in this case, if there are no top experts such as the 003 shelter, it is very likely that only a small sea beast army will be enough to wipe out this tens of thousands of people's shelter in an instant.
They don't even need to do anything more.
All you need to do is destroy the drainage system of the entire shelter, or directly cut a large hole in the outer wall, and the huge seabed pressure will be enough to cause the entire shelter to collapse instantly.
In the face of the kind of destructive power that is like an apocalyptic natural disaster, once the situation is established, even the arrival of the top masters will be of no avail.
The people in the shelter also learned early on that they cannot just passively defend.
They also thought of many ways to find opportunities to take the initiative to attack.
But in the end, all failed without exception.
And the final conclusion is this.
If you want to keep this last human fire from being extinguished, you have to travel to other worlds!
Some people may say that even if the black technology of time travel has been developed, can't we build a curvature spacecraft and fly directly to outer space?
Sea beasts can’t fly, can they?
Unfortunately, this idea was completely rejected ten years ago and will never be mentioned again.
The reason is also very simple.
"Team Leader Wen!"
A young researcher ran over excitedly and shouted to a middle-aged researcher with a solemn face.
Her yelling didn't attract the attention of the people around her.
Because there are too many people who want to prove themselves and go to Wen Xiaojun for "trouble" almost every day.
Logically speaking, as 003's most powerful brain, the most authoritative developer of the entire shelter system, and the first person among the remaining undersea humans who can continue to climb the peak of science, his time is undoubtedly very precious.
He spent a lot of time thinking, and most of the time he was doing it, either creating more useful equipment or improving existing equipment.
Normally, no one would bother him in the laboratory where he was working.
Because of his well-known habit, Wen Xiaojun is more accustomed to studying various projects alone that make people's heads ache just by looking at them.
Except for one time.
That's the break for lunch and dinner.
Of course, that's a break for others.
For this powerful and first-class scientific expert, lunch and dinner are just a time for him to relax his mind and change his mood.
As for how he relaxes...
"This idea of yours was proposed ten years ago. We did have the ability to build a curvature spacecraft ten years ago. One can carry hundreds of thousands of people. And this spacecraft can be used without finding a suitable spaceship." Before landing at the landing site, it will fly non-stop for at least 1065 Earth days. This is calculated under the condition of ensuring the daily needs of the full crew. In fact, in order to reduce material consumption as much as possible, the commander of the spacecraft will continue to increase this number. , and if it is not fully loaded, the actual one-time operation time of this spacecraft can reach eight or even ten years...\"
"Isn't that great? In ten years, we should have built a lot, right? Then we can get rid of this planet and get rid of those damn sea beasts?"
The young researcher didn't notice anything wrong at all, he just said excitedly.
Wen Xiaojun didn't say anything to refute. He just rarely stepped aside and poured himself a cup of bitter coffee that was refreshing enough to drink in one sip.
Then signal the other party to open a certain button.
Suddenly, a set of videos began to play, and Wen Xiaojun lowered his head to drink coffee and began to enjoy his rare free time.
