Chapter 582: Go to the seed bank
5 min read1,291 words
The seed bank built by the Lucias is not in its capital, but closer to the
Arctic Circle.
This is not because the Lucian people have a bad brain, knowing that the
temperature will drop, and they repaired the seed bank in this location
waiting to be frozen, but the time for the construction of the seed bank was
not before the disaster, but long before that. Related plans.
In fact, countries around the world have launched similar plans more than ten
years ago. For example, the most famous international seed bank has been in
operation for more than ten years and was built in Norway, which is located
more than a thousand kilometers from the North Pole.
The Lucias also drew up a similar plan at the beginning, but suffered from the
bad domestic economic situation at the time and the project did not receive
enough financial support, so it has always been intermittent.
The address of the seed bank was an abandoned missile silo from the Suvia era.
Even the refrigeration equipment for storing seeds was added after the seed
bank was put into operation.
So when the seed bank was built, there was the idea of using the cold of the
Arctic Circle to protect these precious seeds.
But no one thought that a meteorite impact would be a world-class disaster
that was rare in millions of years, and the entire human civilization would be
almost destroyed.
After the disaster was determined to happen, Lucia officially launched a
series of plans to ensure the continuation of the entire country. Naturally,
the seed bank has also been paid attention to, and sufficient funds and
resource support have been obtained. It was successfully established, and
stored a large number of plant seeds and animal embryos, and even saved 5,000
human genetic samples.
According to Lucia's official plan, if countries around the world were unable
to prevent the impact of the meteorite, and the entire Lucia country was on
the verge of destruction, then the seed bank is the last hope for Lucia to be
restarted.
It's just that no one thought that the global temperature would drop to such a
terrifying level after the disaster.
The low temperature of more than 100 degrees makes it difficult to resist even
the missile silo built in the Suvia era. The entire seed bank has now become a
veritable ice cellar. Not only does it need to consider the issue of
refrigeration, it even needs to find ways to heat the internal space. Avoid
freezing the plant seeds and animal embryos directly at low temperatures.
In the previous winter, the Seed Bank was able to survive very hard with the
official support of Lucia, but it was still affected internally to a
considerable extent.
Originally they could barely support them, but with the outbreak of the
disease, the entire Lucia was almost paralyzed, and the officials had no spare
capacity to support them. This also made the situation in the seed bank
critical and they couldn’t get through it. It's a cold winter.
Moreover, the maintenance personnel of the seed bank have also fallen ill due
to the cold. The shortage of manpower, the shortage of supplies, and the
coming extreme cold are enough to completely destroy this 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 before him, Chen Xin felt that he was picking up a hot potato. .
Although he knew this was a pit, he had to step on it. It could probably
describe Chen Xin's current situation.
But anyhow, with the mental preparation, Ye Yu and the others have also made
preparations. In general, Chen Xin didn't think this pit would pit him.
His only concern was whether the Lucias would play extravagance.
If only during the construction of the energy tower, he wants to extract key
technologies from him in his work, Chen Xin thinks that the other party can't
do anything. After all, he knows the purpose of the Lucias. And after Ye Yu's
reminder, Chen Xin still felt that he could keep the secret.
But if the Lucias send a KGB swallow or something to play the trick, Chen Xin
feels that even if he can keep the secret, he will cause a lot of unnecessary
trouble.
Don't think that this kind of thing is impossible. During the Cold War, the
swallows of KGB were famous. Many scientists who defected to Suvia were lured
by swallows.
They are all spy elites who have been carefully selected and carefully trained
by KGB. They are especially good at enticing targets to hook and steal all
kinds of confidential information. In those days, they were truly prestigious
and make people talk about it.
If you have to give an example, the black widow in "Avengers" is a classic
portrayal of KGB swallows, and even the real swallows' ability to steal
intelligence is even more terrifying.
But despite the worry, there is still work to be done.
On the transport plane that Chen Xin and the others are currently riding on,
there is one of the three energy tower cores officially purchased by Lucia
from Yan Country, which will be used to build a seed bank that will ensure
that the seed bank will be stable in the next cold winter. Working energy
tower.
"Mr. Chen Xin, after the construction of the energy tower is completed, it
will send a lot of heat to the seed bank to withstand the cold winter, but if
the cold winter passes and we don't need so much heat, how can we adjust the
output of the energy tower?" Above, an engineer and technician sent by Lucia
is asking Chen Xin some technical questions.
Because the seed bank is already close to the polar circle, in the current
extremely cold low temperature, the Lucias have not many available
transportation methods, so they borrowed the transport plane of Yan Country to
pack the energy tower core and the engineers and technicians to go there. Seed
bank.
This also gave Lucia's engineers and technicians a chance to contact Chen Xin.
Facing this kind of problem, Chen Xin explained with some thought: "The output
power of the energy tower can be adjusted. This is very simple ~
www.mtlnovel.com~ When the energy tower is not required to operate, shut down
the pipeline that transports the medium. That's it."
Although Chen Xin answered the other party's question, he didn't mean to
explain in depth.
But Lucia's engineers and technicians were obviously not satisfied with this
answer, so he asked: "But in this case, will it affect the extraction of
geothermal? If the pressure of the conveying medium is insufficient, will it
cause damage to the underlying formation?"
"At present, as far as I know, there is no. Even in winter, the temperature in
southern my country is not lower than your current temperature. Our energy
towers can operate well, and I think your energy towers here can also operate
well. "Chen Xin was a little wary when he saw that the other party was
reluctant, and he didn't go on.
Responding to the question from the engineer on the Lucia side in a
perfunctory manner, Chen Xin stopped talking to him and asked the official
responsible for Lucia: "How long will it take to reach the destination?"
"According to our current flying speed, there should be half an hour left."
The official responsible for the construction of the energy tower at Lucia
glanced at his watch and replied respectfully to Chen Xin.
