Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

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 have bad brains, and they built the seed bank in such a position to wait for freezing even though the temperature will drop, but the construction time of the seed bank is not before the disaster, but a long time before that. 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 running for more than ten years and was built in Norway, which is more than 1,000 kilometers away from the North Pole.

The Lucian people also drew up 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 was an abandoned Soviet-era missile silo, and even the refrigeration equipment for storing seeds was added after the seed bank was in operation.

So when the seed bank was built, there was an idea to protect these precious seeds with the help of the cold of the Arctic Circle.

But no one thought that there would be a world-class disaster such as a meteorite impact that is rare for millions of years, and the entire human civilization was almost destroyed.

After the disaster was determined to happen, Lucia officials urgently launched a series of plans to ensure the continuation of the entire country, and among them, the seed bank naturally received attention, and obtained sufficient funds and resources to support it. It was successfully established, and a large number of plant seeds and animal embryos were stored, and even 5,000 genetic samples were preserved.

According to Lucia's official plan, if the countries in the world could not prevent the impact of the meteorite at that time, and the entire Lucia-stricken country was on the verge of collapse, then the seed bank was the last hope to restart Lucia.

It's just that no one thought that the global temperature would drop to such a terrifying level after the disaster.

The low temperature of more than one hundred degrees below zero made it difficult for even the missile silo built in the Suvian era. The entire seed bank has now become a veritable ice cellar. Avoid freezing those plant seeds and animal embryos directly at low temperatures.

In the previous winter, with the official support of Lucia, the Seed Vault survived with difficulty, but the inside was still affected to a considerable extent.

Originally, they were able to support them with all their strength, but with the epidemic, the entire Lucia was almost paralyzed, and the officials had no spare capacity to support them, which also made the situation of the seed bank critical, and they could not survive the next time. A cold winter.

Moreover, the maintenance staff of the seed bank also fell ill because of the cold. The shortage of manpower, the 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 projected by the female scientist beside him, Chen Xin felt that he was picking up a hot potato .

Although I knew this was a pit, but I had to step on it, it could probably describe Chen Xin's current situation.

But anyway, with mental preparation, Ye Yu and the others have also made preparations. In general, Chen Xin doesn't think this pit will pit him.

The only thing he was worried about was whether the Lucians would play any off-the-disk moves.

If it is only through the construction of the energy tower, if he wants to obtain key technologies from him at work, Chen Xin thinks that the other party can't do anything. After all, after knowing the purpose of the Lucian people, And after Ye Yu and the others reminded Chen Xin, he still felt that he could keep the secret.

But if the Lucian people send a KGB swallow or something to play seduction, Chen Xin feels that even if he can keep the secret, he will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Don't think this kind of thing is impossible. During the Cold War, KGB's Swallows were famous, and many scientists who defected to Suvia were lured by Swallows.

They are all espionage elites carefully selected and trained by the KGB. They are especially good at baiting targets and stealing all kinds of confidential information. In those days, they were really famous and famous.

If you have to give an example, the Black Widow in "The Avengers" is a classic portrayal of KGB Swallow, and even the real Swallow's ability to steal intelligence is even more terrifying.

But despite the concerns, work still needs to be done.

On the transport plane that Chen Xin and the others are currently on, there is one of the three energy tower cores that Lucia officially purchased from the Yan Kingdom. A working energy tower.

"Mr. Chen Xin, after the energy tower is completed, it will send a lot of heat to the seed bank to resist the cold winter, but if the cold winter is over and we don't need so much heat, how should we adjust the output of the energy tower?" Above, an engineer and technician sent by the official Lucia was asking Chen Xin some technical questions.

Because the seed bank is already close to the polar circle, at the current extremely cold low temperature, the Lucian people have not many available means of transportation, so they borrowed the transport plane of the Yan Kingdom to pack and transport the core of the energy tower together with the engineers and technicians. seed bank.

This also gave Lucia's engineering and technical staff the opportunity to contact Chen Xin.

Faced with this kind of 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 required to operate, the pipeline for conveying the medium can be closed."

Although Chen Xin answered the other party's question, he did not intend to explain in depth.

But Lucia's engineers and technicians were obviously not satisfied with the answer, so he asked: "But will this affect the mining of geothermal energy? Will the insufficient pressure of the transport medium cause damage to the underlying formation?"

"At present, as far as I know, there is none. The temperature in the southern part of our country is not lower than your current temperature even in winter. The energy tower in our country can work well, and I think your energy tower can also work well here. ." Chen Xin saw that the other party was unrelenting, and he was a little wary in his heart, and did not say any more.

Perfunctoryly answered the questions of the engineers and technicians from Lucia, Chen Xin stopped talking to him, and asked the official in charge of Lucia: "How long will it take to reach the destination?"

"At our current flight speed, there should be half an hour left." The Lucia official responsible for the construction of the energy tower glanced at his watch and replied respectfully to Chen Xin.
