A Will Eternal Chapter 276
It was minus 22 degrees, the sea breeze was howling, and the snow was flying. ()
The soaring eagle is not affected by bad weather. It is a mass of energy, a faint light and shadow. It flies in the air about 600 meters above the ground. It can hover and soar, and it can also fly as fast as a peregrine falcon or a petrel. sweep.
It can see the situation on the ground very clearly, just like seeing things at a height of 2 meters.
With the help of the eagle's vision, Kane saw the situation in the port.
It was a grand picture with the theme of ice death, enough to shoot long shots of more than half an hour without repetition.
Kane roughly calculated that at least 200,000 people died here. Judging from the large-scale ice sculpture model on the scene recording the scene of the incident, it should have encountered a bomb cyclone.
In today's climate context, bomb cyclones can be called the number one killing weapon.
The bomb cyclone that exploded here was not only large in scale, but also exploded at a height of several tens of meters. It formed an ultra-low temperature within an extreme time, thus forming such a terrifying effect like a weather weapon strike.
Looking at the situation, at that time, a sea trip was being organized here, and a large number of people gathered at the port, materials were being moved, and people were queuing up to board the ship.
Then suddenly the bomb cyclone happened, and most of the people froze to death before they could even figure out what was going on.
A small number of people panicked and tried to escape, but after only taking three or two steps, the water in their bodies completely froze.
Kane estimated that the ultra-low temperature at that time should be below minus 120 degrees to have such a terrifying effect. To be more specific, we need to check the situation in the ship.
Sighing, Kane drove to the port. On the way, he saw more frozen people.
They were the ones who died more painfully. The severe cold chased them down relatively slowly, and they had more time to feel the horror of death.
Kane didn't know how many people escaped the sudden catastrophe in the end. The only thing that is certain is that the living people left here without looking back. They must have collapsed from fright. Most people probably don't even have the concept of bomb cyclone, so it's not surprising that they regard it as a punishment from God.
The death of a large number of adults will only make Kane feel heavy, and the death of a child will make him feel tragic. The howling sound of the cold wind is like the wailing of countless dead. The frozen scene and countless ice sculptures give the whole city a strange atmosphere of horror.
to be honest,
Kane would rather face the slaughtering battlefield with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, than face this kind of ice hell that has recorded too many and too many moments of death.
However, despite being depressed, he still patiently completed a series of operations on this trip.
As expected, there are steam cores, and the number is still huge.
Boxed power tower parts, also available, can be made into a complete set.
There are also steam robots. The technology is more mature than he expected. In terms of intelligence, a strange black technology, mechanical computer, is used.
After deconstructing the robot, Kane discovered that this kind of AI built on a mechanical computer actually has the IQ of a well-trained hound.
Steampunk black technology has reached this level, and the technology of the original world in 1945 is incomparable anyway. That's at least the level of man-made analog intelligence at the end of the 20th century.
As for the bionic structure, it is very general, in line with the characteristics of the Mao family's stupidity and roughness and the steampunk style with many valves.
Its shape looks like an iron spider. For such a mimetic object, Kane gave it 9 points, and its mimetic restoration degree gave it 7 points. In the early 21st century, the original world could not be settled.
Kane pays attention to the black technology of steam in this world. Naturally, it is impossible to only pay attention to strange creations. He will also pay attention to relatively basic subjects, such as material technology.
To cope with the extreme cold crisis, ordinary steel materials and insulation materials are definitely not enough. If you don't have the skills to shoot in this area, you don't have to run to Greenland, and you may be able to survive by digging hard into the ground.
After all, the temperature can increase by 3 degrees per 100 meters of digging down, and the effect will be better after digging into the mantle layer. As long as the planet's magnetic field is normal, it means that the core is functioning normally, and geothermal heating is the way out.
Kane still doesn't understand that the dignitaries choose the polar regions instead of digging holes in the ground, but through the search in Lancaster Port, he basically understands the technology mastered by the dignitaries.
He saw composite materials used for insulation, with cross-sections that were porous, like coral reefs.
He also saw more advanced interlayer insulation design. An interlayer is formed between composite materials, and then filled with inert gas, which is not as good as a vacuum interlayer, but stronger than a normal air interlayer.
After a rough calculation, it can be concluded that by relying on these technologies, there is indeed a greater chance of surviving in the extreme cold crisis. But such high-tech creations, if not laboratory-grade, must be produced in small batches.
Depending on the situation, the dignitaries are indeed prepared to sacrifice more than 80% of the population.
Kane also learned from scattered information such as logbooks, diaries, and shipping manifests that the high-end materials that Lancaster Port is going to ship are not ordered by dignitaries, but by a combination of forces such as several chambers of commerce. .
Kane also understands this.
The public is actually a very general concept.
If you analyze it more carefully, the public also has high and low points.
Networks, capabilities, information channels...everything is a yardstick to measure the gap.
The difference in height determines that some people can fight for their future, some people can only be used again, and some will passively drift with the crowd, or even simply be abandoned by the group, waiting for the trial of bad luck.
The dignitaries have already figured themselves out by using the wealth and power in their hands. At this time, they may have already moved into a new city built somewhere in Greenland.
Under the background that they saved themselves and a small group of people, engineers, ordinary businessmen, civil servants and other middle class are bound to fight for the survival of themselves and their families.
They couldn't afford the tickets for luxury arks, but they could use the facilities for building luxury arks to find ways to build their own secondary arks.
At the same time, the top dignitaries will try to continue to control and promote the birth of the secondary ark, and they also need the population to serve them after the disaster.
In addition, they can make themselves understand that in addition to using power and money, there must be talk, that is, promises. Soldiers, champions, more technical cadres, and healthy men and women who will take responsibility for the demographics of the future are needed.
Therefore, the whole matter is actually interrelated and entangled, and it is impossible to carry it out so clearly.
This also means a sequential drag effect.
After the top dignitaries built their shelters, the secondary shelters were almost finished.
If conditions permit, the secondary shelter will be further expanded to accommodate more people.
This is from a city to a country, the construction will not stop, and a large number of people will indeed die in the end. As for who will live and who will die, the lower the level, the more it seems to need to be judged.
The whole incident is probably such a trend of the big eating the small and eating mud, and what he is facing now should be in the end stage, the situation is getting more and more tense, and batches of population deaths are already taking place.
"What a waste! Do you want to have a killing contest with the bad weather?"
After gathering a wave of technology and resources in Lancaster, Kane drove further north along the migratory route.
He is already planning to turn on the Terminator mode, and accordingly, his car has also changed.
For land trains, iron pillars are transformed into steam locomotives, and combined with half-sections of remodeled train carriages, which seem to meet the size standards of steam locomotives of this era.
The front of this steam armored train is Kane's car.
There are also four rows of 20 cabinet coffins in total, which look like lockers but are actually coffins. Two rows are against the wall of the carriage, and two rows stand back to back along the center line of the longitudinal axis. This is the slot reserved for brain-puppets.
Among the spectacular ice sculptures in Lancaster, Kane selected 20 young men and women with pleasing faces, and made them into brain-implanted puppets among flesh and blood puppets.
This kind of puppet consumes low energy, and does not need to use spirit enlightenment, but is controlled by him with multiple purposes like a puppet on a string.
This is also considered an energy-saving application. Because his mental strength will recover after resting every day. Used to control the puppet, the desired purpose is achieved, and the magic power is saved.
Although these puppets are wearing ordinary woolen clothes, they are clean and tidy, and the people themselves are excellent clothes racks, so they naturally look very good.
The front of the car is dragging three carriages, the first two are stuffy tank cars that look solid, and the last one is a dining car, all of which are widened and heightened.
The stuffy tank trucks are pulling materials collected from Lancaster Port, mainly ingredients, but they are not unusual, but the essence extracted from various ingredients.
This series of concentrated substances took some supernatural power, but Kane felt that this was a necessary upfront investment in order to make a profit. After all, if it's just ordinary ingredients, the capacity of the two stuffy tank cars is relatively limited. The essence means that most of the Lancaster ingredients have been passed through.
The dining car compartment can accommodate 60 people to eat at the same time, and also includes a small kitchen.
The entire land train is in cast iron color, and on the side of the carriage, it is written in white paint - Heavenly Train.
After passing through the small town of Kendall, the Heavenly Train ushered in its first batch of guests, a group of migrants who were left behind. Looking at the composition of the team, it was known that they were disadvantaged groups lacking the ability to survive and compete.
Seeing the thick and majestic armored vehicle, these people instinctively chose to avoid it. Someone muttered: "Why are there still nobles behind us?"
"The group of vampires have warm and comfortable vehicles, so what's the point of leaving later? Maybe after the people left, they searched the whole city before leaving."
"Okay, don't complain, save your strength and walk a few more steps." The middle-aged man in the team said, his eyes fell into the distance, and he couldn't help but spooked. The future of their team is just like the road ahead in this wind and snow, which is unclear. It is really a step by step, and every day you live is a day.
The heavenly train passed the group of people for a while and stopped. When the group caught up, they found that the people on the train even invited them to eat for free.
"Delicious and hot thick soup, drink a bowl to warm up the day, it's free, come if you need it!" The appearance of the brain-plugged puppet is good enough, and the professional ethics are also fully ordered. The yelling is hard, and the smile is very sincere, which makes people feel happy. It's easy to feel good.
"Huh? Is there such a good thing?"
"Ha, I can already smell the fragrance, it's really fragrant."
"Go and have a drink."
"Wait!" the leader stopped, "Don't eat food given by strangers, children know that. This train is weird, I'm afraid there is no good intention."
"Then let me, an old man, try it. I am poor and only have this half of my life left. If they want it, they can take it."
As a result, before the old man came back after testing the waters, more people participated in it. They all feel that they are barefoot and die, what is there to be missed by others? What's more, the thick soup tastes really good...
