The seed bank built by the Lucians is not in its capital, but closer to the Arctic Circle.
This is not because the Lucian people are not smart and built the seed bank in this position to wait for the cold, knowing that the temperature would drop. It is because the seed bank was not built before the disaster struck, but long before. Related plans.
In fact, countries around the world have launched similar plans more than ten years ago. For example, the most famous international seed bank has been in operation for more than ten years and was built in Norway, more than a thousand kilometers away from the North Pole.
The Lucians originally formulated a similar plan, but due to the poor domestic economic situation at the time, the project did not receive sufficient financial support, so it has been intermittent.
The location of the seed bank is an abandoned missile silo from the Soviet era. Even the refrigeration equipment for preserving seeds was gradually added after the seed bank became operational.
So when we first built the seed bank, we had the idea of ??using the cold of the Arctic Circle to protect these precious seeds.
¡°But no one expected that we would encounter a world-class disaster like a meteorite impact that is rare in a million years, and the entire human civilization was almost destroyed in one fell swoop.
After the disaster was confirmed to occur, Lucia officials urgently launched a series of plans to ensure that the entire country could continue. Naturally, the seed bank also received attention and received sufficient funding and resource support to be able to It was successfully established and stored a large number of plant seeds and animal embryos, and even preserved genetic samples from 5,000 people.
According to Lucia¡¯s official plan, if all the countries around the world are unable to prevent the meteorite impact, and Lucia is hit hard and the country is on the verge of destruction, then the seed bank will be the last hope to restart Lucia.
But no one thought that the global temperature would drop to such a terrifying level after the disaster.
The low temperature of more than 100 degrees below zero makes it difficult for even the missile silos built in the Soviet era to withstand. The entire seed bank has now become a veritable ice cellar. Not only does it not need to consider the issue of refrigeration, it even needs to find ways to heat the internal space. Avoid freezing plant seeds and animal embryos directly if the temperature is too low.
In the previous winter, the seed bank relied on the official support of Lucia, and it was very difficult to survive, but the internal situation was still affected to a considerable extent.
Originally, they could manage to support themselves, but with the invasion of the epidemic, the entire Lucia was almost paralyzed, and the official had no spare capacity to support them. This also made the situation of the seed bank become critical, and they were unable to survive the next crisis. A cold winter has come.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: A shortage of manpower, a shortage of materials, and the coming extreme cold are enough to completely destroy this already precarious seed bank.
Sitting on the plane, listening to Lucia's staff introducing the situation of the seed bank, and feeling the slightly hostile gaze cast by the female scientist next to him, Chen Xin felt that he had picked up a hot potato. .
Although he knew it was a trap, he had to step on it, which can roughly describe Chen Xin's current situation.
But at least they were mentally prepared, and Ye Yu and the others had also made preparations. Generally speaking, Chen Xin didn't think this trap would catch him.
The only thing he was worried about was whether the Lucians would play any off-board tricks.
If he just wanted to use the period of building the energy tower to get key technologies from him at work, Chen Xin thought that the other party would not be able to get anything out of him. After all, after knowing the purpose of the Lucians, And after Ye Yu and the others reminded him, Chen Xin still felt that he could keep the secret.
¡°But if the Lucians send a kgb swallow or something to play a seduction trick, Chen Xin feels that even if he can keep the secret, he will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Don¡¯t think that this kind of thing is impossible. During the Cold War, KGB¡¯s swallows were famous. Many scientists who defected to Suvia were lured by swallows.
They are all espionage elites selected and carefully trained by KGB. They are especially good at luring targets into taking the bait and stealing all kinds of confidential information. They were really famous at the time and made people talk about it.
If I have to give an example, the Black Widow in "Avengers" is a classic portrayal of KGB Swallow, and the real Swallow's ability to steal intelligence is even more terrifying.
Although I am worried, there is still work to be done.
On the transport plane that Chen Xin and the others are currently riding, there is one of the three energy tower cores that Lucia officially purchased from the Yan Kingdom, which will be used inThe seed bank will build an energy tower that is enough to ensure the smooth operation of the seed bank in the coming cold winter.
"Mr. Chen Xin, after the energy tower is built, it will deliver a large amount of heat to the seed bank to withstand the cold winter. But if the cold winter passes and we don't need so much heat, how should we adjust the output of the energy tower?" Airplane On the machine, an engineering technician sent by Lucia officials was asking Chen Xin some technical questions.
Because the seed bank is close to the polar circle, under the current extremely cold temperature, the Lucians do not have many available transportation methods, so they borrowed Yan Kingdom's transport plane to pack and transport the energy tower core and engineering and technical personnel. Seed bank.
This also gave Lucia¡¯s engineering and technical personnel the opportunity to contact Chen Xin.
Faced with this problem, Chen Xin briefly thought and explained: "The output power of the energy tower can be adjusted. This is very simple. When the energy tower is not needed to operate, just close the pipe that transports the medium."
Although Chen Xin answered the other party's question, he did not mean to explain in depth.
But Lucia¡¯s engineering and technical personnel were obviously not satisfied with this answer, so he asked: ¡°But will this affect the mining of geothermal heat? If the pressure of the conveying medium is insufficient, will it cause damage to the underlying strata?¡±
"Currently, as far as I know, there is no such thing. Even in winter, the temperature in southern my country is not lower than your current temperature. The energy towers in our country can operate well. I think the energy towers here can also operate well. ." Seeing the other party's reluctance, Chen Xin became a little wary and did not say any more.
After perfunctorily answering the questions of Lucia¡¯s engineering and technical staff, Chen Xin stopped talking to him and asked the official in charge of Lucia: ¡°How long will it take to reach the destination?¡±
"According to our current flying speed, we should still have half an hour." Lucia's official responsible for the construction of the energy tower glanced at his watch and replied respectfully to Chen Xin.
