The plan to build an underground complex around an active volcano should have been the first proposal put forward by the experts of the Saint and Harmony Society, but it had one fatal flaw.
No one could guarantee that the underground magma would remain stable when the planet deviated from its orbit, let alone remain stable for a long time.
Once an uncontrollable accident occurred, it would be a disaster for the people living in the Volcano Shelter.
Being trapped in a can and boiled alive would already be the best possible outcome. If magma poured inside, not even bone fragments might remain.
Years later, when a new intelligent species rose to prominence, this would become another unsolved prehistoric mystery.
But there was no denying that this plan carried tremendous risks while producing excellent results.
As long as the planet's core did not cool, it could continue supplying the shelter's inhabitants with sufficient energy.
Even if the magma in the shallow layers gradually cooled, they could keep digging deeper.
After hearing this, Catherine could not help nodding. "This is indeed a good method. The only risk is that the magma might become uncontrollable."
She paused for a moment. "What do you plan to use to generate power in your shelter on the equator?"
"We'll also make use of Geothermal Resources, but this utilization will remain within a safe range, and..."
Lin Qi smiled. "Human resources!"
"You're a politician. You understand better than I do what terrible consequences will arise when a large group of residents has nothing to do, so we'll find something for them to do."
"For example... Human-powered Generation."
Human labor itself was a clean, environmentally friendly resource. It required little investment while yielding enormous returns.
Since ancient times, monarchs had gradually mastered the use of human labor.
