These parallel railways divide the vast land into several equal parts, and each railway is connected by branch lines, creating a complex and interwoven network.
Dozens, even hundreds, of trains come and go on the railway, flowing like a mighty river, or as if all the world's trains have gathered here, making it seem as if they are not traveling on railways, but on a "grassland" that belongs only to them...
Waaah----
The vibrations from the passing train and its whistle reached right up to everyone's feet.
As the long train carriages passed under the bridge and out of their sight, the delegates were momentarily at a loss for what to do...
"How... how can there be so many trains and railways?"
Are we at some railway hub now?
Even with this explanation, people still felt that there were far too many railways here.
This was the first time they had ever seen a railway that stretched as far as the eye could see... Note that it didn't stretch as far as the front or back, but rather as far as the left or right.
There are so many railways lined up side by side!
Just then, footsteps came from the other side of the railway bridge.
A group of people slowly walked up the stairs.
The leader was an elderly man.
Welcome to No. 1 Spacetime.
The old man spoke kindly, and together they walked to the window, gazing at the trains coming and going outside, and at the constantly changing signal lights along the railway tracks.
What you see now is the largest, most extensive, longest, and most technologically complex railway project in terms of both time and space.
"At the same time, it is also our path of hope."
"You might not be able to see it clearly here, but just five kilometers ahead on these railways is the entrance to a Spacetime Tunnel. All trains will enter No. 2 Spacetime from there, continuously transporting our personnel and supplies there..."
Everyone listened intently to the introduction of the railway, momentarily forgetting to ask about the old man's identity.
Until someone took advantage of a break in the speech to give a brief introduction:
"This is the president of our Mutual Aid Society First Branch."
The representatives greeted him warmly, while also taking a curious look at him.
This was the first time they had ever seen someone of the branch president's caliber.
Of course, this excludes people like Zhang Tianyuan...
Elder Zhou chuckled at the curious gazes of the crowd and said frankly, "There's nothing strange about this old man, especially before I met President Zhang and decided to join the Mutual Aid Society. I'm just an ordinary person, and our timeline is just like yours."
"Let's go, let's find somewhere else to sit and chat."
Elder Zhou led the group of representatives across the railway bridge to a high-level conference room at a station.
Here you can still see the long railway line, and the view is even better than before; you can even see a long "black ribbon" five kilometers away.
It was a special kind of black, so black that it seemed as if a piece of the world had been missing.
The delegates immediately realized that it must be Spacetime Tunnel.
A large conference table was placed across the room. Elder Zhou sat in one of the seats, while the numerous representatives sat on the other side of the table, arranged in several rows.
" President Zhang and the presidents of several other branches will be arriving shortly; we may have to wait a little while."
Elder Zhou firmly controlled the pace of the scene, and the others could only nod in agreement as they listened to him. After a while, someone finally seized the opportunity to ask a question.
" President Zhou... we just heard that this railway leads to No. 2 Spacetime, and that a large number of personnel and supplies are being transported there. Why is that?"
Elder Zhou chuckled and shared his own timeline with everyone without holding back.
The delegates looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
"We received the early warning four years in advance, and then began preparations..."
"Solar anomaly, why is it the sun again?"
"Could such a disaster really happen?"
People have different focuses, but without exception, the story of this time and space has captured their attention.
Elder Zhou continued, "I've heard that your timeline is facing a similar situation to mine back then, except you have much less time left?"
The domestic representative sent by Zhong Ruijin, named Hu Haoran, sat directly opposite Elder Zhou. He immediately replied, "Yes, according to President Zhang, we now have only a little over a month left."
Elder Zhou
Nodding, he closed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "A little over a month is a bit tight, but as long as you all work hard, you can still achieve a very satisfactory outcome."
"Furthermore, our timeline, as well as other timelines and the headquarters of the Mutual Aid Society, and your brother nations in various timelines, will do their utmost to help you..."
Hu Haoran quickly thanked him.
The meeting room door was suddenly opened again.
Everyone looked over and saw that Zhang Tianyuan and three old men had walked in from outside.
Zhang Tianyuan sat down in his seat with a smile, and the three people next to him also slowly took their seats, sitting in a row with Elder Zhou.
The representatives immediately understood the identities of these three people; they must all be branch leaders from other timelines.
The thought flashed through Hu Haoran's mind, and the next second he heard Zhang Tianyuan's voice:
"How are your brief journeys in other timelines going? You should be able to hold on for now, right?"
Having traveled through both time periods, nearly ten hours had passed. Coupled with the emotional impact, the delegates couldn't help but feel exhausted upon hearing this question.
However, everyone forced themselves to sit up straight, indicating that they could still persevere.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled slightly and began to introduce the elderly people around him.
"This is President Zhou from No. 1 Spacetime, President Tong from No. 2 Spacetime, President Sun from No. 3 Spacetime, and finally President Ning from No. 4 Spacetime..."
" Elder Zhong from No. 6 Spacetime needs to take charge of the overall situation and can't come over for the time being."
This was said to Elder Zhou and the other branch presidents.
The others nodded slightly in understanding; if they were in that situation, they would definitely be stuck in the office, unable to move.
"Let's get straight to the point."
Zhang Tianyuan turned his gaze to the representatives sitting opposite him.
"You should now have a basic understanding of our Mutual Aid Society and the situation in parallel universes?"
"They shouldn't think we're scammers anymore, right?"
The representatives on the other side all nodded, but when they heard what was said next, they all shook their heads awkwardly, and then began to apologize in unison for their country's previous distrust.
To be honest, this trip was truly eye-opening for these "old fogies" from the early 21st century.
Even those who genuinely believed in the Mutual Aid Society and parallel universes before never imagined that this short journey would be so shocking, almost shattering their worldview.
First came the giant mechs of No. 4 Spacetime, then the Planetary Engine and the Wandering Earth Project of No. 3 Spacetime, and now there's the all-out relocation plan for No. 1 Spacetime...
Each of these, taken individually, would be an unattainable and magnificent miracle for them.
Zhang Tianyuan nodded in response to the apologies from these representatives, taking it as a token of acceptance on behalf of those who had earnestly tried to persuade them.
Especially poor Carl...
I wonder if he'll ever receive an apology from Becker.
"Since you all now have no objection to our existence, presumably you also have no objection to the impending climate catastrophe?"
The representatives all shook their heads, using the most straightforward gesture to make Zhang Tianyuan understand their thoughts.
"Very good, then let's move on to discussing the rescue plan."
Zhang Tianyuan clapped his hands, and immediately someone presented the representatives with the rescue plan that he had previously agreed upon with Elder Zhong in the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime.
It's the same old "move if you can, avoid if you can't" approach.
"I'm sure you were all familiar with Elder Zhong's actions before today. This plan was developed by our Mutual Aid Society together with him, and it's now in the implementation phase. Overall, it has the best applicability. You can refer to it, and please feel free to raise any questions you may have."
After Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, he deliberately paused for a moment to give the representatives time to open the proposal.
"Mr. Chairman..." Besides Hu Haoran, the first person to finish reading the proposal raised a hand.
Zhang Tianyuan nodded, signaling him to continue.
Regarding the relocation, if the entire border lies above 30 degrees north latitude, is on-site resettlement the only option?
"If we settle on-site, we will face problems with supplies and energy, as well as communication issues. Ultimately, the capacity of the shelters may not be sufficient..."
After listening to the representative's analysis, the others also agreed, as everyone had their own doubts about these issues.
According to their previous
The information received indicates that the superstorms triggered by these climate catastrophes will cause temperatures to plummet to nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius.
In this situation, most facilities are unreliable, and they must upgrade existing domestic evacuation fortifications.
At the same time, a large amount of supplies and fuel must be prepared.
There are also issues with communication lines.
In their time and space, most communication still relied on wires, which were easily destroyed in storms, causing the entire shelter to lose contact.
Losing contact during such a disaster, and if any unforeseen circumstances arise, would truly leave one utterly helpless...
As everyone gets serious, various problems that may arise during the implementation of the plan begin to emerge.
"This plan... requires a level of execution capability that we in China probably cannot match..."
Some representatives, especially those from small countries with populations in the north, looked dejected after hearing about the problems others had described.
These countries are in an awkward position.
They should relocate everyone; there's nowhere else to go, and with their limited transportation resources, they can't quickly move the entire population.
As for seeking refuge on the spot, it's hard to say whether their country even has usable evacuation facilities, and even if it does, they obviously couldn't possibly accommodate hundreds of thousands of citizens.
This is something you can't run away from, and you can't avoid.
Even if they could escape some of the storms or avoid some of the damage, their country would essentially be destroyed after this storm.
It seems that they can only rely on their indomitable spirit to withstand climate change...
Furthermore, even if there were enough large and numerous shelters, preparing supplies for hundreds of thousands of people would still be a difficult task for them.
This includes energy, food, water, healthcare...
These might not be a problem under normal circumstances, but if you were to concentrate them all in a shelter and use them during the shelter period, that would be a disaster.
Given their domestic execution capabilities, this is something that even breaking through the glass ceiling wouldn't be possible.
The representatives of these small countries looked dejected upon realizing this.
Faced with these questions, Zhang Tianyuan remained calm and slowly said, "What you've mentioned has been discussed by Elder Zhong and me, as well as with the branch presidents. Therefore, we have corresponding contingency plans, so you don't need to worry."
Before the representatives could recover from their initial despair, he continued, "Regarding the issue of execution, No. 1 Spacetime can assist you."
As he spoke, Zhang Tianyuan looked at Elder Zhou.
Elder Zhou nodded and said, "Our spacetime has extensive experience in emergency relocation, and we have experience with all countries. Therefore, in this regard, as long as you permit, the chairman and I can authorize you to send support teams from your brother countries in this spacetime to guide you."
Zhang Tianyuan also said, "I have discussed with President Tong of No. 2 Spacetime regarding those who are truly unable to relocate or take refuge in place."
Tong Wenshi said, "After your people are vaccinated with the KV Vaccine, our spacetime can temporarily accommodate them. We will designate a temporary resettlement area for you."
It was marked out on the Africa savanna, where you can see hippos and lions baring their teeth anytime.
Of course, although the location is not ideal, the infrastructure is still complete, and as long as you are careful, there is no danger to your life.
Although they didn't know much about No. 2 Spacetime or what the KV Vaccine was, the representatives listened with great excitement.
So far, the issues of refugee resettlement and implementation have been resolved.
All that remains are the scarcity of resources and the communication problem.
At this moment, Ning Jihua spoke up.
"As for food and energy, we can mobilize all the branches to pool our resources, which should be enough to provide basic supplies for your shelters for the time being."
The delegates' eyes lit up, and they all expressed their gratitude.
However, Zhang Tianyuan frowned and interrupted, "These resources need to be returned after you weather the storm. Although the situation in No. 4 Spacetime has improved somewhat, the deep-seated problems are too profound, and the scarcity of resources is still quite serious."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, but immediately said that there was no problem.
In this way, before a disaster strikes, they won't need to transport food and energy to the shelters; they can focus on getting people in, saving a lot of time and effort.
With the resource issue resolved, the remaining problem was communication.
Zhang Tianyuan's gaze fell on Sun Deyi.
The old man smiled calmly and said, "I can provide you with a space station to support your spacetime..."
