Chapter 147: No Peace Ever
Even though he was in the base, Jiang Yang could imagine what the outside world had become at this moment.
From this moment on, everyone’s life was pressed on the pause button.
All previous life planning, whether it was taking a global trip, finding a job and working hard for a while to save money for a car, or properly preparing for pregnancy and raising a few children, and so on, all life planning was forcibly canceled.
All things had to make way for one thing.
Apocalypse.
If they survived this apocalypse, their original lives still had hope of continuing. If they did not survive this apocalypse, everything was out of the question.
Boundless fear and panic emotions spread wildly in every city, but ultimately did not brew into chaos from the collapse of order.
Decades of continuous crisis education finally played a decisive role at this moment.
Almost everyone’s instinctive reaction was to pay attention to the World Government, to see what arrangements the World Government would make next, how it would confront the apocalypse, and… what role they themselves could play in this process.
Closing the computer webpage, Jiang Yang let out a soft sigh.
Unfortunately, the apocalypse could be announced, but his own existence and his cycle ability could not be announced.
The World Government could not let the people know there was a chance to start over.
This matter actually had benefits in some respects: if the people knew that if this confrontation with the apocalypse failed, there would be a next life, a third life, without a doubt, people’s hearts would be more stable, and unity would be further strengthened.
Because this meant hope. Even if death was inevitable in this life, there was still hope in the next life.
But this was not a good thing for Jiang Yang and the world.
The simplest point was that there would inevitably be sacrifices every time to survive the apocalypse, impossible to be perfect without any cost.
Just like in the last apocalypse, the people who fell at their work posts for various reasons, and the astronauts who perished on the moon.
Without knowing Jiang Yang’s cycle ability, the sacrifices were just sacrifices, their relatives would accept this situation, and others would respect, miss, and admire them, everything harmonious.
But if they knew about Jiang Yang’s cycle ability, then…
Why was it our relatives who sacrificed? Why could others survive?
If there were many sacrifices, their relatives might even unite to form a force, taking all extreme measures including assassination, trying to kill Jiang Yang to make everything start over, to change the established fact of their relatives’ sacrifices.
But surviving the apocalypse would always involve sacrifices. In the end, the relatives of the sacrifices would form serious confrontation with those who did not sacrifice, ultimately tearing apart the entire world.
The world would never have peace.
Therefore, Jiang Yang’s matter had to be kept secret, so people in every life had to charge against the apocalypse again and again without any fallback, at least without knowing they had one.
Shaking his head, Jiang Yang turned his attention back to the lecturing teacher on the screen in front of him.
……
“Next, our industrial production mission will be very heavy.”
In the meeting room, a stern-faced middle-aged man said seriously: “Not only is there the emergency modification mission for one thousand rockets, the design, manufacturing, and launch mission for one thousand satellites, the design, production, and installation mission for over a million automatic monitoring stations, but most importantly, the construction work for the ground facilities of 500 super deep well drilling bases.
The ion drilling equipment required for the super deep wells has not yet been developed, but the preliminary work must start now.
This includes several aspects: 1, power supply system.
Each ion drilling equipment is a power guzzler, with power consumption of at least 500MW. Including various supporting facilities, total power consumption is around 700MW. Leaving margin, the power supply system must be designed and built to 1GW.
2, cable-stayed lifting equipment.
The ion drilling equipment’s maximum length will reach over 20,000 meters, calculated at 5 meters diameter, its own weight will reach about 50,000 tons. Similarly leaving margin, these cable-stayed lifting equipment must be able to bear at least 80,000 tons of mass and remain stable.
3, ground installation workshops, liquid argon cycle workshops, and other large ground buildings.
It is estimated that each super deep well drilling base will require building no less than 400,000 square meters of ground buildings.
4, installation of large refrigeration, pressurization, purification, air blowing facilities, etc.
This aspect also involves a large amount of special equipment, transportation and installation during the process, all must be planned in advance.
5,…”
He continuously listed a series of equipment and system names, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the attendees one by one.
“Each system should claim the corresponding missions in their respective fields, combine with existing industrial strength, quickly formulate production plans and report to the overall system for coordination.
From this moment, the directory of all factories and production bases globally will be open to you. As long as there is demand, you can send conscription notices to any factory, requiring them to complete your required production mission within the specified time.
Now, meeting adjourned!”
The meeting disbanded, and the global leading figures in their respective industrial fields hurried away.
After this meeting, who knew how many secondary meetings in their own fields would be held, how many missions would need to be arranged one by one.
A large net had quietly spread out, almost connecting to every corner of the world.
Jingle jingle…
The red telephone rang. In the office, a portly middle-aged man picked up the phone, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
“Yes, this is Lin Xing. Does our factory need to take on a batch of GB-7365-Y steel production? Yes, I understand, guarantee completion within 5 days.”
From the moment that decision-maker gave the public speech announcing the world apocalypse, Lin Xing had been stationed in the factory office 24 hours a day.
Although his own factory was not large in scale, it belonged to the special steel smelting industry. Facing the steel demand that was almost certainly about to explode next, his factory being conscripted was a foregone conclusion.
Lin Xing had no resistance to this.
Although this would affect the factory’s daily operations and business, not to mention there would be compensation later, even if not, at this time, they could not worry about so much.
The only thing that surprised him was that the superior’s conscription demand was to produce this Y-shaped steel.
This, this somewhat exceeded our factory’s production capacity…
But damn it, would the Apocalypse Project Command not know what our factory is like?
Earlier, a group of professionals came specifically to the factory for investigation, they knew the factory’s details better than he did.
But even so… the Command still decided to assign this batch of Y-shaped steel production to him?
This seemed to mean only one situation.
The production loads of other factories were already fully occupied, and this batch of steel was in too urgent demand.
Then there was nothing more to say.
They had to get this done even if it cost their lives.
“Old Qi, this is Lin Xing. Immediately notify all factory employees to return to the factory!”
