The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Although there was some back and forth, after some threats and explanations of the pros and cons, the Ming family finally accepted this deal that wasn't too bad.

Watching the Raven sail away, it was impossible for Lu Qianwei not to feel heartache.

He has ships and fighters that can fly to the Earth and the Moon, but he only has one transport spaceship.

As for the other ship, the 'Zero Boundary', Lu Qianwei has already 'enthusiastically' lent it to Dirk, who has learned a lot of martial arts, to sail back to his home planet.

As for whether it's possible to get it back intact, he could only say it's uncertain!

"Phew~ Let's see if another world can help me break even."

After these days of adjustment, the soldiers sent by representatives from all sides have gradually integrated into the new spacetime army of the consortium.

The Dark Fortress and the Capital Ruins are essentially the same system, and the training was completed after a little practice.

The only troublesome thing is the navy sent by the Waterworld side.

With two hundred years of maritime experience and land warfare knowledge, they only had a superficial understanding of it through theory and videos.

Learn? There's simply no land available for them to practice combat!

Returning to the familiar 13th floor, the space had been cleared out again, and the place had once again fallen into a state of desolation.

The emergence of stargates has replaced wheeled vehicles, and we are now in the era of airborne transportation.

Even before the apocalypse broke out, hovercars were already widely used by civilians.

Now, with the key support of the Jingxu database, those hovercraft that were once considered scrap and gathering dust can be used on a large scale.

After a familiar routine, the vigilant soldiers suddenly felt a blast of cold air rushing in the instant the hatch was opened.

The soldiers in powered armor are fine, but the nanosuits worn by researchers and engineers cannot withstand this ultra-low temperature environment.

In order to prevent them from suffering, Lu Qianwei had no choice but to close the time portal again.

-175 degrees Celsius!

Okay, let's rule out the possibility of it appearing at the North or South Poles.

Chapter 84 Taking a Day Off

Um, after driving all day, my head is spinning. (?'0`?)

I'll start writing tomorrow!

Chapter 85 The Wandering Earth

The temperature control system of the power armor was not designed for such extremely cold environments.

After a night of modifications, a total of seventeen Black Fang power armors were fitted with multiple layers of insulation and emergency electric heating circuits to maintain the normal temperature of the core compartment.

Laser weapons have been replaced by electromagnetic weapons due to the fact that optical materials are prone to cold brittleness and cracking below 80 degrees Celsius, resulting in a 30%-50% drop in efficiency and difficulties in heat dissipation from heat sinks.

Electromagnetic guns do not rely on oxygen, and magnetic acceleration is easier to achieve under low-temperature superconductivity.

Approaching Lu Qianwei, Mo Han pointed to the information on the panel: "So far, we have only carried out sealing, insulation and radiation protection treatments on three armed airships."

"As for those external weapons, some of them will be affected by the low temperature environment, resulting in a decrease in power and accuracy."

Lu Qianwei glanced at it briefly and said, "It's fine. As long as the ability shield works, it's good."

There shouldn't be any major danger over there.

From the crack in the hatch and the blue beam of light shooting into the sky, Lu Qianwei already had a general idea of ​​which world the time portal led to.

The Wandering Earth: A world where the sun is rapidly aging and expanding, about to devour its own galaxy.

In a desperate attempt to survive, the coalition government went to extremes, building tens of thousands of massive planetary engines in just 27 years.

The long journey that pushes Earth out of the solar system and toward a new star 4.2 light-years away is called the Wandering Earth Project.

To avoid making things difficult when they meet again in the future, Lu Qianwei shared this information with them.

Li Wenxuan was surprised by the coalition government, which was even more insane than them.

Dong Mingxi and Bai Yuekui were more interested in Lu Qianwei's prophetic abilities.

Lu Qianwei can only explain this by the information feedback obtained when spacetime overlaps.

"This is troublesome!" Bai Yuekui frowned slightly.

Lu Qianwei asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"According to your logic, the coalition government is somewhat extreme, after all, they killed 35 billion people!"

"Alas, not everyone in your world has cracked the formula for anti-gravity like you have."

"Trying to sail far using artificial rotating gravity is tantamount to suicide," Li Wenxuan said with a wry smile and shook his head.

Their ancestors did consider the possibility of escaping Earth, but even colonizing the moon was impractical.

Population can be moved in large numbers, but things like air and suitable soil for planting... things common on Earth can only be achieved on the moon.

That project was dozens of times more difficult than the Dragon Palace project, not to mention the problem of future population growth, since the lunar orbit is only so big.

The coalition government's proposal is extreme and full of unknowns, but in Li Wenxuan's view, it is already the best option.

He understood what Bai Yuekui meant by the deaths of 35 billion people.

At the point in time when Earth broke away from its origin... no, to be precise, before the sun was destroyed, could a multi-elemental union have emerged?

Since they didn't appear, their policies are naturally fine.

But if they appear, then the coalition government will be the murderers of 35 billion people!

The people in the underground city would definitely think so, and Lu Qianwei understood this better than Li Wenxuan.

The aftermath of Liu Peiqiang's sacrifice and his role as a navigator on the space station to help Earth escape Jupiter's gravity.

He vaguely remembered that it was all because someone spread a rumor: 'The destruction of the sun is a hoax!'

The underground city riots, the collapse of the united government... the victors, in their cheers, witnessed the demise of the sun...

That's a truly hellish joke!

After so many years, Lu Qianwei no longer knows whether this was written by the original author or a continuation of fan fiction.

But after reading the story of the author's "The Support of Humanity," he believes it's highly likely!

Lu Qianwei concluded, "Therefore, to avoid unrest in the underground city and the possibility of overthrowing the government, our approach to contact must be relatively gentle."

"At the very least, we shouldn't let the people know about the existence of the time portal," Li Wenxuan added. "If someone with ulterior motives guides them, the abandoned relatives outside will become the fuse for their uprising."

They won't get excited because the other side of the time portal is a habitable environment.

Lu Qianwei nodded in agreement. It's better abroad, but the lottery system in China is truly fair. Everyone sheds tears because of their own family.

"This will take time; at least the people here need time to adjust their mindset."

From both a moral and logical standpoint, the existence of a coalition government would be beneficial to them.

Lu Qianwei didn't want them to fall, after all, who knew if the next one would be a makeshift team?

…………

As the heavy hatch opened, the biting cold wind caused a large amount of ice to form in the D-3 area.

Three armed airships spewed blue flames and flew outwards.

This mission is only to investigate the area where the time portal is located; there are no plans to contact the United Government at this time.

A large-scale relocation of the population to another time and space is unlikely in the early stages.

But Lu Qianwei also set his sights on their infrastructure capabilities and population.

The ecological technology of the Heluo Kingdom was the reason why they could live on land.

There are now many experts and workers in Jingxu who participated in the construction of the lunar surface.

The hovercraft only needs to collect the surrounding terrain map to determine whether a small ecological zone is suitable for construction.

Rather than talking about time portals or something similar, concrete technological demonstrations are far more convincing.

When the hovercraft's panoramic detection panel, multispectral terrain radar, underground rock scanner, and gravity detection module are activated simultaneously.

The pale green probe waves spread out in a fan shape from the three hovercrafts in different locations towards the surrounding frozen mountain basins.

Before long, a complete 3D terrain map filled the entire central control screen.

They were lucky; the area covered by permafrost is located in a basin.

The terrain is open and flat, with surrounding mountains forming a natural ring barrier that perfectly encircles the blue pillar of light where the time portal is located in the core area.

The underground rock strata are dense and hard, with no faults or freeze-thaw collapse risks. The foundation bearing capacity meets the standards, and the structure is stable, fully meeting the requirements for the implementation of ecological zones and infrastructure projects.

This directly eliminates the need for the step of sending the document to the senior professors in Beijing for review.

Once everyone had chosen their direction, they acted decisively and began planning their environment.

Dong Mingxi, standing beside him, didn't delay at all. She contacted her elder brother, the Emperor, and succinctly requested personnel and related equipment.

With the spacesuits provided by Jingxu and Jiuchuan, the first batch of supplies was precisely delivered to the designated locations in the core area of ​​the basin.

The first batch of engineering mechs, equipped with superconducting deep-earth heating piles, were arranged in a neat array under the control of an autopilot program. The heavy hydraulic arms pressed down sharply, driving the 100-meter-long superconducting piles inch by inch into the permafrost.

High-temperature plasma flow penetrates downwards along the pile body, melting the surface frozen soil layer by layer at a controllable temperature. At the same time, it converts the ice core in the frozen soil into liquid water, which is then pumped through underground diversion pipes to a water storage tank at the edge of the basin to prevent the meltwater from freezing again and affecting the foundation.

This addresses the problem of extremely hard frozen soil that is difficult to excavate with conventional machinery.

The engineering corps deployed a low-frequency permafrost breaker, which uses infrasound pulses to penetrate the permafrost layer in a directional manner.

Without damaging the bedrock structure, the dense permafrost is broken into loose soil layers.

The tracked excavator then quickly excavated and leveled the site, clearing a core construction area with a diameter of three kilometers in just a few hours.

The group had a clear division of labor: some were responsible for building a temporary energy hub, fixing the miniature fusion reactor brought from Jingxu onto a reinforced base, and providing uninterrupted power to all heating, pyrolysis, and casting equipment.

A group of people operated laser leveling machines to grind the cleaned ground to a millimeter-level flatness, preparing for the assembly of the prefabricated modules of the eco-cabin.

Another group set up temperature-controlled fences and radiation-resistant shield generators along the edge of the basin to prevent cold winds from blowing back into the construction area and to avoid affecting the safety of engineering equipment and personnel.
