Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter.

Chapter 347 Low Temperature Hibernation Technology

Calmly gazing at the thousands of shelters on the earthquake's periphery on the holographic map.

Su Wu, in a brief few seconds.

This determined the fate of the more than 50 million people who still live there today.

9 pm.

Su Wu received a message from Yu'an City.

Do you have cryogenic hibernation technology?

Su Wu was slightly surprised when he greeted Qiang Yiqiu, the mayor of Yu'an City, on the screen.

Low-temperature hibernation is a technology that exists only in science fiction.

It seems unremarkable.

In fact, its research and development is almost as difficult as controlled nuclear fusion.

It is one of the prerequisites for entering interstellar civilization.

Like Yu'an City, the total population is only around 3000 million.

Ordinary megacities without any particularly advantageous industries.

No matter how you look at it, it's hard to associate it with such cutting-edge technology.

"It was just a lucky find."

"However, after multiple technical verifications, we can confirm that there are no problems."

"Theoretically, as long as the energy supply is sufficient."

"It is entirely possible for people to survive in hibernation for more than 1 years."

Qiang Yiqiu frankly stated.

"If it's true."

"This technology is very useful for Terra."

"What do you want?"

Su Wu hesitated for a moment, then made no attempt to hide his desire.

Let's get straight to the terms of the deal.

"Help us fortify a small base."

"Build two more miniature nuclear power plants."

"Then, we also need 120 Terra superior residency certificates."

Qiang Yiqiu quickly compiled a list.

Clearly, this has been considered for a long time.

Then, without waiting for Su Wu to ask, she took the initiative to explain the reason.

“We have built a nearly permanent small hibernation base in the core area of ​​Yu’an Shelter.”

"This is intended to help us withstand the impending disaster."

"If we had your nuclear power plants and fast cement to help."

"It is estimated that it can significantly increase the success rate."

Yu'an City itself does not have the capacity to build a nuclear power plant.

Furthermore, considering the scarcity of energy in a post-apocalyptic world.

The entire Eastern Continent.

Only Su Wu's Terra was capable of providing them with this kind of support.

"This plan."

"Isn't this a bit too risky?"

"Once you truly enter hibernation, there is no turning back."

Su Wu frowned slightly and gave a gentle reminder.

Information about the Earth's disintegration.

Currently, it is only in the hands of Su Wu and some high-ranking officials of the Federation.

To others, this news is practically a rumor.

It will not be used as a basis for decision-making.

"It's better than waiting to die."

"Our scientists have proven this."

"The structure of a small hibernation base is sufficient to withstand the most severe geological disasters for thousands of years."

"Under extreme conditions, it may even continue to operate for tens of thousands of years."

"Several thousand years should be enough time for most disasters to subside."

Qiang Yiqiu smiled bitterly, a look of weariness and helplessness showing in his eyes.

Yu'an City is not far from the Kuanjiang River basin.

Based on the current trend

It will be included in the area of ​​the main shock within 17 hours at most.

In the end, the fate of the Yu'an City shelter may not be much better than that of Zhenhai City.

Time is running out for them.

"Not considering joining Terra?"

Su Wu asked calmly.

“Of course we’ve considered it.” “The 120 advanced resident certificates we asked you for are for some of our high-ranking members who don’t want to go into hibernation and their families.”

"Moreover, the entire hibernation base can only accommodate a maximum of 3000 people."

"The vast majority of the remaining residents in the shelter have no choice but to join Terra."

Qiang Yiqiu revealed their plans.

Actually.

Most of the high-ranking officials in Yu'an City do not doubt Terra's security.

But I didn't think too highly of it either.

At most, it can be considered to exist on the same level as the refuge complex in the capital of the Eastern Continent.

under these circumstances.

Considering the probability of survival.

Joining Terra isn't necessarily a bad choice.

But clearly, hibernating to survive the disaster means placing hope in the future, thousands of years from now.

It is undoubtedly more reliable.

And besides that.

There is another reason that cannot be explicitly stated, which is the issue of power.

Today it is today.

Apart from Su Wu, there is no privileged class within Terra.

It's not a secret.

The so-called Terra superior residency certificate only guarantees you a luxury apartment in Terra and exemption from mandatory work assignments.

At most, upon entering Terra Vault, the account is allowed to carry no more than 100,000 Su Wu-issued game coins.

To put it bluntly, he was just a wealthy commoner.

The powerful and wealthy in Yu'an City who were used to living a life surrounded by entourages.

It's hard to accept this kind of gap.

It's better to choose to enter the hibernation base and take a gamble on the future.

"Good luck to you then."

Su Wu nodded and didn't try to persuade him further.

They are just a few thousand people in the rentier class; they are not worth his efforts to retain.

They chatted for a while longer and settled on the details of the handover.

Su Wu watched Qiang Yiqiu's figure disappear from the screen and sighed silently.

He knew this would be the last time they met.

From that moment on, they were separated by life and death.

Reach out and open the scheduling interface on the console.

After a moment's thought, Su Wu dispatched the only two second-generation Dawn-class transport ships on board to the Yu'an City refuge.

Next, he needs to complete the task within 17 hours.

Before the Yu'an City shelter completely sank.

To fulfill the promise made to Qiang Yiqiu.

They also transported the remaining 3000 million people of Yu'an City, as well as most of the valuables, back to Terra.

As for the ordinary supplies inside, they couldn't be taken care of at this point.

After half an hour.

Two second-generation Chenguang-class transport ships carrying a batch of fast cement.

It slowly took off from Terra's airport and disappeared into the dark clouds that flashed with lightning in the distance.

For many, many people.

This night is destined to be another sleepless one.

6 month 13 day.

Along with the epicenter of the super earthquake, the effects spread to the Yu'an City area.

This was an emergency transport operation that took more than ten hours.

Apart from the 3000 people who had entered the hibernation base ahead of time, the super shelter was now completely empty.

It disintegrated amidst magma and churning earth waves.

Only the small hibernation base at the very core was preserved and sank deep underground.

Waiting for that day that may never come, when it will reopen.

And the destruction of Yu'an City.

For the entire world, and even for the Eastern Continent, it is nothing more than a ripple on the surface of a lake.

It didn't attract much attention.

For the more than one billion people living in Terra, life goes on as usual.

The massive earthquakes that ravaged the surface of the Eastern Continent, and the series of disasters they caused.

They're all just topics of casual conversation after dinner.

It's something from another world, so far removed from their real lives.
