Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 444: Designing for Disaster

For humans, there are actually not many ways to avoid disaster.

In ancient times, human technology was underdeveloped, and most of the human beings at that time had little resistance to natural disasters. Disasters such as floods and earthquakes could easily destroy human homes.

A large number of people will die because of the disaster, and even the surviving human beings can only rebuild their homes with difficulty, and more will be displaced.

Therefore, in ancient times there were often refugees, who were people who had to migrate to other places because of famine or other disasters that led to the loss of their homes.

Even in modern times, human technology has been advancing with each passing day, but it is still quite difficult to fight against natural disasters.

Ordinary small-scale natural disasters humans can still rely on the support provided by solid buildings and modern technology to resist, at least not to destroy their homes, and it is relatively easy to rebuild.

However, in the face of major natural disasters that can change the terrain and divert mountains and rivers, human beings are still unable to resist, or they can only save their lives in the face of disasters.

For regional disasters, most human beings still rely on the past. Fortunately, modern society is relatively advanced in technology, and it is not too difficult to rebuild homes after disasters and resettle refugees.

It's just that a global disaster like this meteorite impact is not easy to fight, and it is not easy to get rid of the impact of the disaster and rebuild after the disaster.

Under such a disaster, the entire human civilization has no good way to resist.

Originally, Chen Xin thought that the cold winter brought by the meteorite impact was the biggest challenge for mankind, but now the impact of the successive eruptions of the three super volcanoes has made Chen Xin realize that the meteorite impact and the long night winter are just the beginning. .

In order to survive this terrible disaster and continue human civilization, the challenges that human beings need to face are beyond imagination.

It is indeed possible to withstand disasters by building underground shelters like this, and it is also the limit of what human civilization can do under the current technological conditions.

If you want more and better ways to fight disasters, you can only exist in science fiction works.

And what Chen Xin wanted was that the methods of resisting natural disasters in these sci-fi works inspired him.

When it comes to resisting natural disasters, the game "Tomorrow's Ark" is undoubtedly the most inspiring.

In the ark world, human beings invented mobile cities to avoid natural disasters. This modular city can be split and combined one by one at will, and moved at the same time, so that the whole city has the ability to move and can avoid natural disasters. The existence of reference value.

But trying to actually build a mobile city is a fantasy.

Not to mention that the southern part of the Yan Kingdom where Chen Xin is now is full of hills and rivers, and there are no conditions for a mobile city to travel. Even in the northern or plain areas where there are conditions for a mobile city to gallop, the existing technology of human beings cannot create it. A vehicle capable of carrying an entire city.

And even if Chen Xin really built a mobile city by means of system upgrades and provided related technologies for human beings, it would take too many resources to build a city that can move freely.

More importantly, Blue Star is not Terra, there are not so many natural disasters to avoid, and the city itself does not need to move frequently.

So for Chen Xin, the mobile city is just a good reference. He will make it when he really needs it, but before that, the mobile city is far from the real protagonist in "Tomorrow's Ark". Rhode Island has practical value. and attractive.

Rhode Island is a huge Land Cruiser about the size of an aircraft carrier, but it can travel on land, somewhat like a small mobile city, but only the size and scale of a small town.

In fact, for an aircraft carrier built with modern technology, except that it cannot travel on land like Rhode Island, it is not inferior to Rhode Island in other aspects.

And in terms of the size of an aircraft carrier, its interior is indeed equivalent to a small city.

An aircraft carrier, at least by today's sanctuary, could indeed hold the population of the next medium sanctuary inside.

It is not a simple matter to move an aircraft carrier sailing at sea to land, or a problem that can be solved by the current technology of mankind.

All aspects of the problems involved, even before the disaster, the entire Blue Star may only be studied and solved by the Soviet Union and the Federation in the Cold War era, and the Yan Kingdom that has risen after the 21st century.

And this also requires the investment of the three countries to make it possible.

It is a super engineering no less than manned spaceflight engineering, and only truly great countries can realize it.

After the disaster, although the current Yan Kingdom still retains enough strength, the investment in building such a behemoth that runs on land is too great.

Chen Xin can only use it as a backup plan now, and he can start researching, but he cannot say that he will definitely be able to build this thing.

Although he only needs to constantly invest in the upgrade of survival points, he can upgrade a land cruiser like Rhode Island.

"Land cruisers are still not very useful in the southwest region!" Although the manufacture of Rhode Island has been included in the plan, in Chen Xin's opinion, a behemoth as long as several hundred meters like Rhode Island wants to drive Into the southwest, it still seems a little impractical.

Is there something more practical? Chen Xin continued to rummage while recording the information on Rhode Island.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something.

In one of the novels he had read in the past, there were also descriptions of disasters. One of the stories was that the protagonist traveled to the world of the movie "2012". In that world, he did not go to the ark built by the governments of various countries, but built one by himself. A private ark that can escape disaster.

The method used by the protagonist is to build an airbag ark that can float in the sky based on airship technology, leading a group of people to escape the world-destroying flood in "2012".

Maybe this is a good idea? If you can fly, the mountainous terrain of the southwest region will not be able to form restrictions.

In this way, even if a large-scale geological disaster does occur in the southwest region, traffic is interrupted, it is impossible to enter the disaster area by land, and the plane cannot land, there is still a way to enter the disaster area and transfer the victims out.

Rhode Island can be used in the north, and the airbag ark is more suitable for the south. In addition, this is indeed what I read in a novel, the name has been forgotten, but the buddy in the book is a superhero in the American TV series to help , there are Professor X and Magneto, as well as super geniuses such as Mr. Fantastic and Dr. Octopus. In theory, this thing can really be done, and it can be done with human technology without much investment.
