Chapter 4: Drain
For this, Hao Qi has practiced his skills and shattered at least ten continental fragments first, but this is also a kind of his self-training. With the first evolution of the level human beings, Hao Qi's power once again exceeded his control capacity. It was okay to fight with the Red Dragon Servedi Projector before, so he didn't have to worry about anything anyway, but it was troublesome after the battle. He could take this opportunity to restore control. Otherwise, he was worried that if he rubbed Lan Ling'er's hair in the future, there would be another bald head in the team... and...
Hao Qi came to the scheduled location with the fragments of the mainland. He suddenly felt his scalp itchy, but he couldn't reach out to scratch it at this moment. At the same time, he felt his smooth scalp and could only sigh quietly. He felt indescribable feeling in his heart...
I've become stronger, but I'm bald...
At the same time, the suspended pipe protruded from the huge vehicle was inserted into the hovering continental fragments, and then dug according to the proven internal location. Then one pipe, two pipes... All the pipes were dug into the continental fragments, inserted into the underground lakes, absorbed all the water sources into the pipeline, and finally transported to the huge vehicle, and then instilled into the huge metal containers that had been prepared in the vehicle. One side, a container similar to a concentrator, was spit out from the huge vehicle.
During this period, rocks kept falling in the sky, but these rocks were still insignificant compared to huge vehicles. Moreover, the top of the huge vehicles was specially equipped with alloy armor, and they were not afraid of the impact of these rocks.
Until the rock impact gradually stopped, a large number of vehicles poured out from the underground population, carrying the water containers at the huge vehicle onto the vehicle, and then began to go towards the underground entrance.
This is the seventh water-containing continent fragment that Hao Qi brought. It is also nearly three months after the Red Dragon attack. In three months, the remaining humans on the Western Asian continent have done too many things.
From the water circulation purification system at the beginning to all internal force realms and all internal gas realms to recover resources, production workshops, smelting blast furnaces, energy conversion centers, vehicle manufacturing plants, etc., they build one almost every ten days. At the same time, not only did these productions be restored, but the expansion and planning of the final shelter are also in operation. Considering the continuous decline in the oxygen content in the atmosphere, it is definitely necessary to isolate the air of the base from the outside air in the future. Therefore, the construction of the main base began to dig downward at the final shelter location to form an underground general base, relying on rock formations to isolate the air. At the same time, the underground passage is also being excavated. The water resources collected here are transported from the underground passage to the main base.
"Thank you brother, my brother... Alas, the water loss rate is faster than expected. The total amount of this underground lake should have more than 200,000 cubic meters of water in the calculation, but in fact there is not even 80,000 cubic meters, and the loss rate is accelerating..."
Lan Ling'er's voice came from Hao Qi's headset, and he said with a wry smile: "Did you detect other underground lakes? This is an underground lake that I found after finding six continental fragments. Either the underground lakes there have been completely lost, or there weren't them."
Lan Ling'er's voice seemed to be very low. She said softly: "The detection device only projected the continental rock formations, searching for the formation of underground lakes within the continental rock formations. Not every lake will have a lake... Brother, work harder, there are two other pieces of the continental debris detected before that may contain underground lakes. One of the underground lakes has huge terrain. Even if the water source is lost, there should be one million cubic meters of water. Brother, go again..."
"Well, it's nothing. You know that I'm basically incapable of exhaustion. I don't have any other fatigue except for my mental desire to doze off. Since the water loss rate is accelerating, I'll go and check the two continental fragments." Hao Qi said indifferently.
On the other hand, Lan Ling'er sighed after hearing this. There were several other people around him, including Yun Qingqing. They also finished the conversation. After Lan Ling'er disconnected, Yun Qingqing asked: "Ling'er, have we already stored at least two floors of containers for underground space squares to store water? Not enough?"
Lan Ling'er shook her head bitterly and said, "It's not enough... Sister Yun, with the loss of water in the air, the air is getting dryer and dryer. Even if the temperature is controlled in the most suitable state, the amount of water a person drinks more than twice as much as before. At the same time, the loss of water in the air is faster, and more water is directly lost, rather than turning into wastewater to enter circulation and purification. An ordinary person only consumes two or three tons of water a month. Now all of us have to consume more than 100,000 tons of water in a month. The water circulation purification efficiency has decreased, and we can only recover 70,000 tons of water. The net consumption of a month is about 100,000 tons. We now store more than 1.3 million cubic meters of water, which is more than 1.3 million tons. This is only enough for us to consume a little more than a year..."
A little more than a year... no one is sure. They can return to the Seven Seas World in a year, and even scientists cannot be sure, so Yun Qingqing fell silent immediately.
Lan Ling'er did not stop speaking, but continued: "This is still a simple population water use. The industrial water has not been calculated yet. What should we do with agricultural water? You must know that our food resources are actually very small. Resuming agricultural production must be completed within this month. The current water... is not even a fraction of the plan. The large number of containers that were rushed to be made are not even used for one tenth..."
These data are really not unknown, and they are shocked when they calculate. In fact, except for a few warriors like Cang Hua Taoist or Bai Sha Wang Zheng who are proficient in government affairs, most of the warriors are basically those with developed limbs and simple minds. Lan Ling'er is the one who knows the whole plan and all the data. No one knows better than her how dangerous the current situation is. As the Western Asian continent is broken, the rate of water loss has intensified, and the remaining people have actually reached a very dangerous situation, which is much more dangerous than what they think...
After Lan Ling'er said all this, she showed a worried and hesitant expression, but some words were difficult to say...
For example… what scientists mentioned…
