Chapter 98: Glimmer of Light
,!
A long queue formed, the God's base was opened, some food was being carried out, and the robots were distributing food at the gate of the base.
The food distribution just started three days ago, and more and more people gathered here. The original God's Town was already dilapidated, but fortunately some houses were still intact, and many people now lived nearby because there was food here.
Food would be distributed once a day, and many people could eat enough here, but now some people could not eat enough, because only 5,000 meals would be distributed every day, but there were more and more people.
Many people queued day and night, and even some riots had occurred, but now there was still not enough food, and some people would even fight for it, and the gods had not come forward to stop it so far.
Some people wanted to rush in, but they were thrown out by the robots directly. Many people came here as soon as they received the news that the gods would distribute food.
At the beginning, everyone who came here felt that they could survive, but as more and more people came, many people could no longer survive.
At this time, someone in the queue started arguing, and both sides looked very angry, because it seemed that today's food distribution was about to end, and the team began to shout for a while.
Some people accused some people who had received food yesterday and came to receive it today. In such a quarrel, some people took out weapons. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, some orange particles floated out and instantly restrained a group of people.
Witt and Ellie came out, and many people exclaimed for a while. They all begged. Ellie looked at the people in front of her and said.
"Distribute the food in the inventory to them."
Witt nodded. There was no way now. They had to come forward. I don’t know who released such news that food would be distributed in the base of the gods. There was indeed a lot of food stored in it, and it was also for emergency use. Now they had to take it out.
"Please gather at the col in the west after you get the food. We will give everyone seeds and help everyone build a planting base."
As soon as Ellie finished speaking, many people cheered. They couldn’t ignore it anymore. Ellie and Witt studied the eucalyptus below last night. They could only temporarily build an agricultural base around the base and let these people start planting. In this way, at least they can have food to eat.
They didn't expect the situation on the grassland to deteriorate so quickly. In just a blink of an eye, the grassland was already a river of blood, and most of the facilities built by humans were destroyed.
Ellie looked at everything in front of her with a serious face, and Witt patted her on the shoulder and said.
"As long as the sun can rise normally, there will be no problem."
After a while, Ellie and Witt came to the west with some equipment. Now they plan to directly seal the top between the mountains and make a zenith, and then install some solar lamps, and then cultivate the land below, add nutrient solution and start planting.
It can be easily done with Rose's power. It only takes a few days to start planting here.
Witt began to command the people who came to clear the stones in the mountains. Many people worked hard. Witt appointed several people as organizers and asked them to call more people over.
It was just 10 o'clock in the morning. The stones in the mountains must be cleared today. When encountering some large stones, Witt directly used his power to crush them and then asked people to move them.
Although it was the most primitive manpower, it was simple and effective. Rose and the others had already brought some heavy metal up the mountain. Now all Rose needed to do was to use her strength to spread the metal directly between the mountains without leaving any gaps, and then install some solar lamps on the zenith.
Soon, many people saw the metal spread out like a stream above their heads, extending continuously to the opposite mountains in the yellow particles.
The whole process made many people exclaim in surprise, because everything in front of them was too incredible. Many people had heard about the gods, but seeing it with their own eyes was different from hearing about it.
By 5 pm, the land had been cleared, and basically no gravel could be seen. The next step was to dig. Some people who had eaten and still had strength took some mechanical equipment and began to dig under the guidance of the gods.
Gene patiently explained to some people how to use some machines, and many people started after trying a few times.
Now there is no way, because the people who just came have caused some problems. If nothing is done, these people will definitely attack the base, because they are almost starving to death.
Looking at the eager eyes, Gene lit a cigarette, and after a while he said.
"Everyone settle down here for the time being. When everything goes well, we will lead everyone to build a city soon."
Gene's words made the originally quiet crowd boil again.
Until 11 o'clock in the evening, many people slept directly in the mountains. Some heating equipment has been installed. It only takes a few days to start planting here.
Now everything must be done quickly, and it takes at least two months from planting seeds to crops maturing. In these two months, some planting bases need to be continuously established so that some crops can be produced continuously.
But such a base cannot withstand secondary destruction. Safety is a big problem. Gene's idea is that if there is anything, he will come out to deal with it directly, and now he can only do this.
Jean wanted to check who had released such news, but he couldn't care less now. No matter who had released such news, his intention was very obvious, to force the gods to come out of the base as soon as possible.
This approach is too bad in Jean's opinion. They have now reached the most critical moment and cannot leave the base to take care of other things. The situation cannot be worse.
After a while, Gene returned to the base and returned to the reactor under the solar tower. Now they have found many ways to prevent the reactor from overheating and causing major problems.
The last step is to achieve a stable orbit, but many solutions currently fail to succeed in some simulation experiments.
At this time, Ellie walked down and saw Jean with a dull look on his face. She walked over and comforted him.
"It's okay, it's not our fault."
Ellie knew that Gene only became depressed after seeing the situation outside. Ellie knew best what kind of person Gene was. He looked cold on the outside, but in fact he was hot on the inside.
Ellie held Gene's hand and leaned on his shoulder. The two closed their eyes and said nothing, but their hearts were full of thoughts.
In fact, Jean had regrets, and perhaps others were the same. There was no need to research artificial suns. All that was needed was to allow humans to live in a stable ecosystem. If there were mutants, there would be enough electricity.
But after the research begins, if they give up halfway, everything they have done over the years will be in vain. Now they can only withstand all pressures and let the sun successfully rise on this land, so that they can illuminate human society.
"Gene, there's something I want to talk to you about."
Ellie said with a serious expression, Gene looked at her and nodded.
"You tell me Ellie."
Ellie said after hesitating for a moment.
"I may have a way to solve the problem of controlling the artificial sun."
Gene asked as he looked at Ellie with a serious expression.
"Is it your ability?"
Jean had actually vaguely guessed that Ellie's ability was extremely special. She couldn't explain it clearly, but Ellie could hear a lot of voices, especially people's voices.
Moreover, Ellie can also control some machines and even people, which makes Gene feel very strange. Gene asked.
"You mean you want to use your ability to control an artificial sun?"
Ellie nodded, but Jean shook his head immediately.
"If you do this, you have no idea what will happen. I don't agree."
Gene immediately objected, and Ellie hummed and didn't intend to mention it.
The two hugged each other, and Gene still looked at Ellie worriedly. Now the last step of the artificial sun has almost completely collapsed the eight people. If a stable operation method is still not found, who knows how long it will take for the sun to rise? How many years.
"I'll keep watching for a while."
Gene stood up, and Ellie looked at Gene with worried eyes. She knew what Gene was thinking, and then Ellie stood up and left. She will continue to cultivate seeds in the laboratory tonight. In the next month, she will need Sow seeds all around the base.
Only in this way can many people who are now in exile be able to live.
8 a.m.
The gods left the base early in the morning and continued to direct the people who had eaten the food to start working in the farmland. Now every second counts, Rose has distributed the nutrient solution to some people and asked them to pour it evenly into the reclaimed soil. .
Everything had to be speeded up. Gradually, many people who had eaten came over one after another. Everyone now knew that they had to work hard so that they would have food to eat in the future.
Deguna and Jean led some people to repair the original Town of God, which is now the residence of most people. At least the power and water supply must be restored so that these people can continue to survive.
At this moment, an explosion occurred not far away. Someone screamed. Jean instantly ricocheted over. Soon Jean saw that the explosion came from some people coming down from the foothills. They were armed with heavy firepower. weapons, directly shouting at the people below to hand over the food.
In an instant, Jean jumped into the middle of the group. They looked at Jean in horror. The weapons in their hands were distorted little by little in the blue particles, and then Jean stared at them quietly.
"What on earth are you doing?"
One of the leaders shook his head in horror.
"We know we were wrong, Lord Jean, please..."
Before the leader finished speaking, his neck had been broken. Although the others begged, Jean did not let them go. Now there are more and more people like this. They will open fire without any reason, targeting anyone other than themselves. Everything was very hostile.
Jean quickly walked up the mountain road, and sure enough he saw a lot of corpses. They had killed many people along the way. Jean closed his eyes, and all he could think of was the first time he saw this grassland in the past. I can't see the green above my head, and the sunshine above my head.
Everything has changed now. The mountains are black, garbage is everywhere, and many places are very polluted. The towns are dilapidated. Jean regrets it now. If they only need them to come out, they can rely on the powerful Force can integrate everything, but in the end they chose technological research.
It is true that humans need very powerful technology to survive, but if everything in the future of humans continues from the current war, even if they build cities, they will not be too peaceful.
Gene had seen this situation countless times. Looking at the pile of dead people in front of him, Gene felt something strange in his heart. At this time, he immediately moved forward and quickly found a child who was still breathing from the pile of corpses. His abdomen was shot through.
Gene quickly returned to the base with the child in his arms. Tang Rao had already come in.
"Help me look at these values, I will perform surgery on him."
Gene looked at the skinny child with longing in his eyes. He was only ten years old at most. Gene said comfortingly.
"It's okay."
Tang Rao took out the surgical instruments. Gene helped Tang Rao look at the values on the medical instruments, and then began to prepare some drugs needed for the operation.
In less than ten minutes, the operation was over, but the child's vital signs were disappearing. Gene looked at the values on the machine in annoyance. The heart rate was decreasing. Tang Rao had done the best he could.
Now he could only wait. Gradually, the heart rate began to rise. Gene breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Rao continued to deal with it. Now he couldn't let the child's body have any extreme behavior, so Tang Rao directly fixed the child.
After a while, Ellie came over and said after checking the child's condition.
"It should be fine."
Gene looked at Ellie and asked.
"Did you tell me just now? There are still people alive."
Ellie hesitated for a moment and nodded. Then she turned and left. Tang Rao felt that Ellie had changed significantly recently. She always had a very nostalgic look in her eyes and always talked about things in the past.
"What happened to you two?"
Tang Rao asked. Gene nodded and smiled, then walked out of the operating room and lit a cigarette. Tang Rao followed him out.
"What happened?"
Gene did not answer, but he said after a while.
"Ellie said she had a way to solve the problem of the operation of the artificial sun, but this method should be very dangerous. I don't know what she will do, but I feel that she wants to leave me."
Tang Rao laughed and patted Gene on the shoulder and said.
"How is that possible? Our life span is close to infinity now. Don't say such things. You take care of the child. I have something else to do."
Tang Rao left after she finished speaking. Gene returned to the operating room. The child had woken up and looked at Gene with moving eyes.
"It's okay. He will get better."
