Chapter 989 - The New Mayor
It took three days for the water-type users to work hard to retrieve all the seawater they could find from the wilderness and from the mouthparts of the insects.
Finally, they reunited in the basin where "Atlan" is located, leaving less than half of what was originally lost. Some evaporated and dispersed into the atmosphere, some seeped into the ground, and some were drank by the insects. , humans are completely powerless.
Regardless of whether they can find a way to return to Blue Star, how the nearly 20,000 people in the "Wall of Sighs" action force can survive on this strange planet is the top priority. We can't wait for the future to come soon. Only start thinking of solutions when you run out of food or other emergencies occur!
A sudden acid rain almost destroyed the inland sea ecology of the artificial basin where "Atlan" is located. A huge protective force field was opened urgently, covering the entire basin until the ability users joined forces. The towering walls built consume an astonishing amount of energy all the time to keep out all the almost endless acidic raindrops with a pH value between 2-3.
The strong acid waterfall formed by the rainwater gathered across the sky, and the air was still filled with the pungent sour smell. After only being soaked by the initial rain for a moment, the shining silver "Atlan" seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist. The matte texture even has dark brown spots in some areas.
Even stainless steel cannot completely resist acid corrosion (304 cannot block the volatile vapor of high-concentration oxalic acid).
"What a terrible place!"
Chen Fei stood on the top of the "Atlan" central building, overlooking the entire snowflake-shaped city.
The raindrops fell in the arid wilderness, stirring up clouds of dust. A large part of it was smoke evaporated by chemical reactions, which converged into a hazy haze, making the horizon blurry and making it impossible to distinguish the sky. The boundary with the earth.
The various strange-shaped giant rocks scattered in the wilderness are most likely the result of miraculous workmanship that has been etched bit by bit by acid over the years.
A total of forty satellites were launched, distributed in orbits at different altitudes, building a communication, reconnaissance and remote sensing network covering the entire planet, which also includes meteorological observation functions.
However, the atmospheric environment on the entire planet's surface is harsh, and local meteorological changes are almost irregular. The heavy rain and acid rain clouds formed in just ten minutes. It has been raining for more than half an hour, and there is still no Want to stop.
“Now it seems that you are right!”
A voice came from behind Chen Fei. Huang Xiulun, the commander-in-chief of the "Wall of Sighs" operation, came to his side. People stand side by side.
The latter is now the deputy mayor of "Atlan", responsible for coordinating and supervising the affairs of various departments.
Although those politicians are annoying, they are all good at building organizational frameworks. They set up various administrative departments in one night, and every person in charge took office with a bruised nose and face.
In addition to the chairman and deputy speakers and the city administrative department, there is also an auxiliary decision-making organization, the city management committee, which serves as the court council, parliament, board of directors and other related functions.
"Which one are you referring to?"
Chen Fei turned his head and looked at the commander-in-chief who had taken advantage of him.
After the online meeting, hundreds of fights broke out offline, and the military commander was eventually made deputy mayor, speaking directly to him, the king of the city.
If he is unable to return to Blue Star in his lifetime, he, as the king, may really have to take his throne.
"The 'Top Sky' plan is very necessary, and some things cannot be delayed. For now, 'Atlan' does need a dictator."
Huron Huang Tsukuru didn't hear the arrogance in the new mayor's tone. Elders don't care about trivial matters with younger generations.
Without this self-restraint, he would not have been able to deal with the interest demands of various sovereignties and twist everyone into the "Wall of Sighs" operation.
It is inevitable that there will be conflicts between sovereigns, especially the first sovereign. Sometimes, almost everyone in the world is the enemy. It is not that simple to have so many monsters and monsters working together to achieve something.
The structural materials of "Atlan" are mainly metals, with silicates and organic materials accounting for only a small proportion. Even if it can withstand the salt corrosion of seawater, it cannot withstand the long-term acid corrosion of acid rain. If it is completely isolated by a protective force field, the limited energy reserves will become increasingly stretched.
So relying on the "canopy" physical isolation is the most effective and economical response measure. The relatively closed internal environment is also conducive to restoring the proportions of Blue Star's atmospheric components.
“I hope those people won’t cause trouble for me without the sense of discernment.”
Chen Fei doesn’t care about the sovereign forces being forcibly brought together, even if they are only temporarily tolerant. If you have a strong temper and obey your leadership unwillingly, you will most likely rebel in the future.
"I will stop them, not to mention Mr. Brown!"
Huang Huulun glanced at the S-class superpower who was looking at the scenery not far away.
In addition to monitoring Chen Fei and cooperating with him when needed, Herseman Brown now also shoulders the responsibility of guarding.
It sounds too extravagant for an S-class space superpower to act as a guard, but currently I can’t find a more suitable guard than him. He lacks offense and has too much defense. Even if he’s not good enough, he can escape from danger in an instant. It’s simply Just impeccable perfection.
"The most important material of the 'canopy', the silicon carbide light-transmitting sheet, is best to find a means of industrial mass production, or a special generation spell. Now it is all done by the hands of capable people, and the efficiency is too high. Too low.”
The "canopy" plan proposed by Chen Fei covers the entire "Atlan" and the edge of the basin. It is a massive project. In addition to the numerous pillars and structural frames, the most important thing is the canopy with a side length of three meters. Translucent sheet.
Considering the planet environment they are currently living in, Chen Fei gave up using transparent metal (aluminum oxynitride, to be precise, it should be counted as a ceramic material) as the canopy light-transmitting sheet, and instead chose High purity silicon carbide.
On the one hand, high-purity silicon carbide has better light transmittance. Whether it is infrared or ultraviolet light, the transmittance is more than 10% higher than that of aluminum oxynitride. On the other hand, silicon carbide material is acid-resistant. It is alkaline and has high strength, which is suitable for the acidic climate here.
However, the current production efficiency of silicon carbide canopy light-transmitting sheets is so low that it wears down the hands of those with relevant abilities until they die of exhaustion. Today, only a dozen pieces are produced, which is less than the number required for the entire "canopy" In comparison, it's just a drop in the bucket, and I don't know if it will take more than a year of the monkey, or in my lifetime.
“Can’t your superpower be achieved directly? Why bother with so much effort?”
Huang Xiulun knew that Chen Fei's special skills could solve everything, so he didn't know why he would go to such trouble to create difficulties instead of eliminating them.
Although aluminum oxynitride is slightly inferior to silicon carbide in some aspects, it can still be used as an excellent material for sky curtain light-transmitting sheets.
"I am the mayor. I should focus my time and energy on more important things. The 'Top Curtain' is related to a century-old plan. Since there are better materials, why not use them?"
Chen He refuted the deputy mayor's unreasonable ideas unreasonably.
He doesn’t want to work hard for a group of rebel thieves with ulterior motives. He should do the other way around. It’s better not to have any extra energy to fight these stupid things. Think about things like rebellion and rebellion.
Nowadays, Chen Xiaoer is in a state of worrying about gains and losses, where there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm the relationship. Regardless of his tough verbal tone, after all, he still lacks real experience in being a leader.
However, the combat power of the First Sovereignty is sharpening. They are very professional in this job of Qing Jun, and they are just waiting for someone to jump out and become the leader.
Revolution is not about treating guests to a meal, it is about killing chickens to scare monkeys, and even the lives of chickens and monkeys are revolutionized.
"Okay! I will keep up with this project!"
Huang Xiulun has already seen that Chen Fei is not the kind of ruler who takes care of everything.
At present, all parties are in a very reluctant running-in period, but I don't know whether the new mayor is lazy or does have talent in this area. His words are quite unexpected, to put it nicely. The son is focused on key points, able to delegate power, and the art of imperial control is close to Taoism. If you say it badly, he will just turn away the shopkeeper. He is a lazy guy who only makes a name for himself. What is the truth? Different people have different opinions.
But one thing can be confirmed, the young mayor will not be tricked by his subordinates with ulterior motives, because the two parties are not on the same channel at all, so they want Chen Fei to be tricked by all kinds of complicated things. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to be so busy with things that I have no time to take care of my private intrigues.
Seeing that Huang Xiulun did not leave, Chen Fei asked: "Mr. Huang, no, Deputy Mayor Huang, do you have other things to do?"
No matter what you do, don't leave. Baodian, the other party came to him in person instead of sending a message or calling directly. It was probably not just for the "Tian Mu" matter.
Huang Huulun thought for a moment and said, "An exploration team discovered underground ruins. This planet once had intelligent life."
"It's not surprising at all. As long as enough time is given, civilization will be born sooner or later on a planet that can breed life."
Chen Fei nodded noncommittally.
The origin of life is introduced in high school courses. The great being "Qin" once sown the seeds of life in the universe, and at the same time collected a large number of life gene samples to ensure the upward spiral of life diversity. With evolution, this inference has found tangible evidence in the underground ruins of Cangqiong Star, and there are even giant skeletons that are highly suspected to be "Qin".
The intelligent race of Blue Star is never alone in the vast universe.
In fact, it is not just the exploration team who took risks to search the wilderness. Satellite remote sensing scans have also discovered many traces left by intelligent civilization, such as the majestic palace standing in the wilderness, and the discontinuities of suspected industrial areas. The ruins of the wall are dense areas of black or brownish red left over from the weathering and decomposition of a large number of metals.
It is a pity that the satellite has not been able to find any traces of the activities of intelligent races on the surface of the planet, except for "Atlan".
Perhaps the once glorious intelligent civilization on the surface of this planet has died naturally in the long course of time. As for the reasons, war, disease, climate change, and even racial evolution have gone astray, nothing more than These reasons.
However, remote sensing has still detected some interesting things. In addition to the remains on the surface, there are also some very complex special geological structures underground that have undergone artificial intervention. It seems that intelligent races once lived on the surface. For a time, they retreated underground to avoid the irreversible decline of civilization, but they didn't know whether humans, who came from Blue Star and were also an intelligent race, would be able to find the remaining civilization relics on this planet.
