Split Sky Rider

Chapter 989 - New Mayor

It took three days for the water users to retrieve all the seawater they could find from the wilderness and the mouthparts of the insects.

In the end, it gathered again in the basin where "Atlan" was located, and only less than half of the water that had been lost was left. Some of it evaporated into the atmosphere, some of it seeped into the ground, and some of it was drunk by the insects. Humans were completely powerless.

Regardless of whether they could find a way to return to the Blue Planet, how the nearly 20,000 people of the "Wall of Sighs" operation team could survive on this strange planet was the top priority. They couldn't wait until they were about to run out of food or other emergencies in the future before they started to think of a solution!

A sudden acid rain almost destroyed the inland sea ecology of the artificial basin where "Atlan" was located. The huge protective force field was urgently opened to cover the entire basin. It was not until the towering walls built by the ability users together, which consumed amazing energy all the time, that the almost endless acid raindrops with a pH value of 2-3 were completely blocked outside.

The strong acid waterfall formed by the rainwater crossed the sky, and the air was still filled with a pungent acid smell. After being drenched by the rain for only a moment, the silver-shining "Atlan" seemed to be covered with a layer of dark frosted texture, and some areas even had black and brown spots.

Even stainless steel cannot completely resist acid corrosion (304 cannot resist the vapor of high-concentration oxalic acid).

"What a terrible place!"

Chen Fei stood on the top of the central building of "Atlan" and overlooked the entire snowflake-shaped city.

Raindrops fell in the arid wilderness, stirring up clouds of dust. A considerable part of it was smoke from chemical reactions, which gathered into a hazy mist, making the horizon blurred and unable to distinguish the boundary between heaven and earth.

The various strange-shaped giant rocks distributed in the wilderness are likely to be the work of nature that has been eroded by acid over the years.

A total of 40 satellites were launched into space, 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 surface of the entire planet is harsh, and local meteorological changes are almost irregular. The torrential acid rain clouds formed in just ten minutes. It has been raining for more than half an hour, and there is still no intention to stop.

"Now it seems that you are right!"

A voice came from behind Chen Fei, and Huang Xiulun, the commander-in-chief of the "Wall of Sighs" operation, came to his side, and the two stood 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 each person in charge took office with a bruised face.

In addition to the speaker and deputy speaker and the city administrative department, there is also an auxiliary decision-making organization, the City Management Committee, which plays the role of court discussion, 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 picked up a huge bargain.

After the online meeting, hundreds of fights broke out offline, and finally the military commander became the deputy mayor and talked directly with him, the king of the city.

If he could not return to Blue Star in his lifetime, he would be afraid that he would really be the king.

"The plan for the 'Sky Curtain' is very necessary, and some things cannot be delayed. For now, 'Atlan' does need a dictator."

Huang Xiulun pretended not to hear the quibble in the tone of the new mayor. The elders did not care about those trivial matters with the younger generations.

Without this cultivation, he would not be able to deal with the interests of various sovereigns and twist everyone into the rope of the "Wall of Sighs" operation.

There are bound to be conflicts between sovereigns, especially the first sovereign, which is sometimes almost the enemy of the whole world. It is not so easy to get so many monsters to work together to accomplish something.

The structural materials of "Atlan" are mainly metals, and silicates and organic materials account for only a small proportion. Even if they can withstand the salt corrosion of seawater, they cannot withstand the long-term acid corrosion of acid rain. If they rely entirely on the protective force field isolation, the limited energy reserves will become increasingly stretched.

Therefore, relying on the physical isolation of the "sky curtain" is the most effective and economical response measure. The relatively closed internal environment is also conducive to restoring the proportion of the atmospheric composition of the blue planet.

"I hope those people will not cause trouble to me without vision."

Chen Fei does not care about the various sovereign forces that are forcibly squeezed together. Even if they are only temporarily holding back their anger and unwillingly obeying their leadership, they will most likely rebel in the future.

"I will stop them, not to mention Mr. Brown!"

Huang Xiulun glanced at the S-level psychic who was looking at the scenery not far away.

In addition to monitoring Chen Fei and cooperating with him when needed, Heseman Brown now also shoulders the responsibility of guarding.

It sounds too luxurious for an S-level space psychic to act as a guard, but there is no better guard than him at present. He is not good at offense, but has too much defense. At worst, he can escape from danger instantly. He is simply impeccable and perfect.

"The most important material of the 'sky curtain', silicon carbide light-transmitting sheet, should be industrially mass-produced, or a special generation spell will do. Now it all depends on the hand-rubbing of the psychic, which is too inefficient."

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.

Taking into account the planetary environment they currently live 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 resistant to acid and alkali, and has high strength. Just right for the acidic climate here.

However, the current production efficiency of silicon carbide canopy light-transmitting sheets is so low that it would exhaust the hands of those with relevant abilities to death. Only a dozen pieces have been produced. Compared with the number required for the entire "canopy", it is a drop in the bucket. , I don’t know that it will take the year of the monkey, the horse, and the month of the horse, or that it will take only one lifetime to get it together.

"Isn't it possible to do it directly with your superpower? Why bother with it?"

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 canopy 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 Fei confidently refuted the deputy mayor's unreasonable ideas.

He didn't want to work hard for a group of rebels with ulterior motives. He didn't want to be a slave to them. It should be the other way around. It was best to not have any extra energy to think about those who were rebellious and rebellious. matter.

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 being sharpened. 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, or killing chickens and terrorizing monkeys. The lives of chickens and monkeys are also revolutionized.

"Okay! I'll 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 entangled in all kinds of complicated things and have no time to care about personal matters. The conspiracy below may be a bit difficult.

Seeing that Huang Xiulun did not leave, Chen Fei asked: "Mr. Huang, no, Deputy Mayor Huang, do you have other matters?"

He went to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing, and the other party came to him in person instead of sending messages or talking 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, a planet capable of nurturing life will sooner or later give birth to civilization."

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 spiraling diversity and evolution of life. This inference is in Tangible evidence has been found 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 that took risks to search the wilderness. Satellite remote sensing scans also discovered many traces of intelligent civilization, such as the magnificent palace standing in the wilderness, the ruins of suspected industrial areas, and a large amount of metal. Dense black or brownish-red areas left behind after weathering and decomposition.

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. These are the only reasons.

However, remote sensing has still detected some interesting things. In addition to the relics remaining on the surface, there are also some very complex special geological structures underground that have undergone artificial intervention. It seems that the intelligent races that once lived on the surface once retreated underground to escape. The irreversible decline of civilization, but I don’t know if humans, who are from Blue Star and are also an intelligent race, have the possibility to find the remaining civilization remnants on this planet.
