The burly man named Tie Ke was right. Under the current circumstances, the only way out for the town of "Condenser" was to seek help from the nearest large town. Otherwise, the town would fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
The Fusion Reactor had already exploded. This shocking fact left many townspeople at a loss at first. They had not even felt fear, because such a thing was simply too unbelievable. When it happened, ordinary people's first reaction was not panic, but confusion. But by now, some had realized just how dangerous the situation was. Tie Ke was among the first to understand it.
The Fusion Reactor array, evenly distributed three thousand kilometers above the surface of this ruined planet, was the only source of light and heat for this world's ecosystem. Since no one possessed the technology to use Psionic Energy Reactors to provide stable thermal radiation, these ancient Fusion Reactors had operated continuously for hundreds of thousands of years and remained irreplaceable. Once the reactors went out and could no longer be repaired, the entire Northern Hemisphere would face an endless night and cold—and the latter could be fatal.
The artificial atmosphere of these ruined planets was not thick enough, and it retained heat less efficiently than a normal atmosphere. Once it lost the reactors' constant heating, it would quickly lose thermal equilibrium. That was only one problem. Worse still, because the Fusion Reactors had limited output, hundreds of them were distributed above each planet to provide even light and heat across the globe. Each reactor was responsible only for a small patch of land beneath it. Under such circumstances, if some reactors shut down, the regions under their charge would receive virtually no supplementary "sunlight" from nearby reactors.
Soon afterward, the Northern Hemisphere of this ruined planet
