Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 480: Go to the seed bank
The seed vault built by the Lucians is not in its capital, but closer to the Arctic Circle.
It's not that the Lucian people have bad brains, and they built the seed bank in this position to wait for the cold, knowing that the temperature will drop, but the construction time of the seed bank is not before the disaster, but very early There are already plans for that.
In fact, countries around the world have launched similar programs 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 Lucia 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 is 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 use the cold of the Arctic Circle to protect these precious seeds.
But no one thought that there would be a world-class disaster such as a meteorite impact that is rarely seen in millions of years, and the entire human civilization was almost destroyed.
After the disaster was confirmed, Lucia officials urgently launched a series of plans to ensure the continuation of the entire country, and the seed bank naturally received attention and obtained sufficient funds and resources. With support, 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 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.
No one could have imagined that the global temperature would drop to such a terrifying level after a disaster.
The low temperature of over 100 degrees below zero makes it difficult for even the missile silos built in the Suvian era. The entire seed bank has now become a veritable ice cellar. In the inner space, avoid too low temperature to directly freeze those plant seeds and animal embryos.
In the previous winter, the Seed Vault was very difficult to survive with the official support of Lucia, but it was still affected to a considerable extent internally.
Originally they were able to support them, but with the epidemic, the whole of 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 Get through the next winter.
And the maintenance staff of the seed bank have also fallen ill due to the cold. The lack of manpower, 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 know this is a pit, but I have to step on it, it can probably describe Chen Xin's current situation.
However, with mental preparation, Ye Yu and the others have also made preparations. In general, Chen Xin doesn't think this pit will pit him.
His only concern is whether the Lucians will play any off-the-table 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, he knows the Lucian people. Chen Xin still felt that he could keep the secret after Ye Yu and the others reminded him.
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 selected and carefully trained by the KGB. They are especially good at luring targets and stealing all kinds of classified information.
If I have to give an example, the Black Widow in "The Avengers" is a classic portrayal of the KGB Swallow, and even the real Swallow's ability to steal intelligence is even more terrifying.
Although I am worried, there is still work to be done.
Chen Xin and the others are currently on the transport plane, and there is one of the three energy tower cores that Lucia officially purchased from the Yan Kingdom. A power tower that also operates smoothly.
"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 to adjust the output of the energy tower? ?" On the plane, an engineer and technician sent by Lucia's official was asking Chen Xin some technical questions.
Because the seed bank is close to the polar circle, at the current extreme low temperature, the Lucian people do not have many available means of transportation, so they borrowed the transport plane of the Yan Kingdom to bring the core of the energy tower together with the engineers and technicians Packed and shipped to the seed bank.
This also gave Lucia's engineering and technical staff access to Chen Xin.
Facing this kind of problem, Chen Xin explained after a little thought: "The output power of the energy tower can be adjusted. Just close it."
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 heat? 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. I think your energy tower here is also It can work well." Seeing that the other party was unrelenting, Chen Xin was a little wary in his heart and didn't say any more.
Acting perfunctorily to the questions of the engineers and technicians from Lucia, Chen Xin stopped talking to him and asked the officials in charge of Lucia: "How long will it take to reach the destination?"
"According to our current flight speed, there should be half an hour." The official in charge of the construction of the energy tower in Lucia glanced at his watch and replied respectfully to Chen Xin.
