Chapter 77 Construction and Evacuation of Tesla City

There were ten days before the blizzard reached Tesla City, and fourteen days before it reached New London.

The temperature is minus 50°C.

The negative [-] degrees for two consecutive days made most of the residents stay in their rooms to rest, except for some alcoholic guys who would come out to drink regularly every day.

When the temperature returns to 50℃, people finally have the opportunity to go out for a walk.

But when people went out, what they saw surprised them.

The four robots have been fixed in the four directions of the low-lying ice wall at some unknown time, and the huge steam pipes extending from here transport heat for the construction robots below to squeeze the steel specially made by the steel factory. Embedded in the ice wall, laying stable anchors at intervals

Their Mr. Mayor personally stood on a robot to weld the joints of these steel walls. From a distance, one can see those fires extending out regularly, fixing those walls.

For half a day, people stood at their door and watched a wall near the robot. The ice wall was covered with steel. In some places where engineering robots could not construct, there were engineers working on the supports.

Those apprentices in red robes and tool kits walked smoothly on the construction supports on their prosthetic legs, helping engineers lay lines.

In every place where people work, a steam hub will be covered to ensure a suitable temperature.

Apart from the fact that the wind is blowing so hard that people's brains hurt, there are no other problems.

Some curious people walked under the ice wall to watch. After all, they were tired of staying indoors all the time. This kind of construction scene they had never seen before was more attractive.

However, apart from the fact that the roads in the area where the ice wall drilling rig is located are not blocked, fences have been erected near the ice wall under the four wall robots, with warning signs painted on them.

People can only stand behind the fence and watch the progress of this huge project, showing doubts from time to time.

Some people found that the rail station is also constantly transporting steel to the low-lying land, and the foundations are being built around the houses near the rail station, and a high wall is also being built.

This obviously included all the buildings outside and inside the low-lying land, so that people would not worry about who was the one who was abandoned under the snowstorm.

Within a day, a quarter of the ice wall and all the foundations and anchors under the ice wall were completed. Li Jianghao's hand holding the holy sword was about to collapse. After putting away the holy sword, his fingers kept on The state of empty grip cannot be recovered for a long time.

As for explaining things to the people, the engineers couldn't wait to make up the reasons. They weren't lying anyway. This was a thermal insulation device to ensure that the internal temperature was maintained when a snowstorm arrived.

It's just that they didn't explain the working principle to these people, and they didn't even know that there was a transparent dome above their heads that day.

In the next three days, Li Jianghao repeated this process and completed the construction of the entire steel wall. The towering spiers extending in four directions are the four high wall areas above the low-lying land.

Between the four spires, there are electric-driven opening and closing devices and backup lines, and two engineering robots transformed into crawler-type are traveling around the entire ring without interruption to ensure that there will be no accidents.

The steam engine hidden in the four-walled robot begins to work at full capacity. The snow collected from the periphery of the spire will flow directly into the special pipe. After all, the most indispensable thing in this ghost place is snow.

Internally, it looks like this thing is powered by electricity.Small steam arrays are densely arranged outside the four main pipes for steam transportation, which are used to release heat from the low-lying areas.

The weather of minus [-] degrees was suddenly lifted to minus [-] degrees.If it weren't for the lack of a dome, there would still be cold wind pouring in.

Otherwise, according to the current heat level of the energy tower, people can already move freely outdoors wearing only a single piece of clothing.

With six days to go until the blizzard reaches Tesla City, the temperatures are about to start changing.

Li Jianghao issued an order to dismantle all the outposts in the wild, and finally rescued a batch of supplies in Tesla City before abandoning them.

And the third wave of refugees arrived as scheduled, and the many clinics that had been prepared for a long time had excellent records, and they stayed up all night to treat people with serious illnesses.

Of course, many patients who were burned had severed limbs.

A drunk guy went out and saw the doctors dealing with severed limbs. He was so frightened that he had a psychological shadow. He howled all night in the middle of the night and was invited by the guards to drink tea.

As the third wave of refugees ended, the lighthouse successfully discovered several settlements of survivors who encountered difficulties and were unable to come to the energy tower on their own.

Three idle reconnaissance teams quickly set off to escort the survivors to the energy tower.

The day after Tesla City was evacuated, the front part of the blizzard touched here, reducing the temperature here to minus [-] degrees, and it was gradually decreasing.

In the extreme cold, the remaining unmaintained metal buildings became brittle and coated with frost.

Before long, this place will become a city of ice and snow, in which no life can survive.

As for the landing place of the dreadnought battleship further away, it has been completely covered by the snowstorm.

As survivors continue to enter, the population of New London has exceeded the 924 mark, reaching a population of [-].

Although the goal of breaking a thousand was not achieved, Li Jianghao was also very satisfied.He has saved as many people as possible, and he has a clear conscience.

Next, in the middle of the night, before the outpost was demolished and rebuilt, the silica-rich stones dug in advance were sent to the walls.

It took an extra day for the new shearer to collect enough stone, because most of the other stone was waste, and the glass made from the extracted material was too weak.

For the sake of safety, Li Jianghao first laid a stabilizing device on the wall to prevent falling rocks or the glass dome from suddenly breaking and falling debris, and also used it to cover his movements when he opened the car.

After confirming that most of the residents were asleep, Li Jianghao held the holy sword in his hand and the driver appeared on his waist.

The drive book of the Storm God Condor was inserted into the corresponding creature slot, and the huge holy sword shrunk the moment it was inserted into the drive.

Li Jianghao moved his fingers and pulled out the holy sword.

"The fire draws the sword!"

"When the Divine Condor and the True Red Sword intersect, a tornado roars!"

A huge flame dome covered the sky above the entire city, and the stones piled up behind were melted and guided by the wind to cover the flames.

The huge dome took shape in an instant, and just like before, no excess temperature leaked out.

Most people only feel a flash of red light in their sleep, and there is no difference.

After that, there will be no more cold wind blowing, ice and snow falling.

For this small ecological circle maintenance device, Li Jianghao can only do heat preservation and windproof at present, and he is still far away from realizing the return of spring.
