"Only the engine... lives on with Wilford!"
"Claude shouted."
Wilford glanced at her in surprise, then reached out again to stroke her blonde hair. "You've adapted to this environment very quickly, Claude."
I didn't misjudge your potential.
Claude quickly bowed his head in gratitude, looking extremely apprehensive.
Wilford smiled, staring outside, and suddenly said, "I'm going to give a speech to all the carriages."
Claude immediately took out his microphone.
Considering that not all passengers understand English, she also assigned a translator to each carriage and had translators distributed throughout the train.
The speech began soon.
Wilford tested the sound, and everything seemed normal.
Welcome aboard our Snowpiercer.
"We are currently traveling along a global luxury train route, in eastern North America. Tomorrow, on Independence Day, we will arrive in the pleasant climate of Florida, and then continue south into South America."
"In the past, you would have seen beaches, coconut trees, and the vast ocean in Florida."
"But as I said on TV, CW-7 will freeze the whole world. Right now, there's only cold and chaos there. By the time we leave South America, you'll find the whole world frozen over. We are the last remaining humans on Earth."
"You are the luckiest people of the old era, because you are about to witness its demise and at the same time see the birth of a new era."
"Now, the train will depart once more. Take one last look at the scenery outside the window—whether it be people or things, it will be the last time you see it. They will die in despair outside the train, while you, relying on the eternal engine, will enjoy a wonderful life..."
Wilford's speech echoed throughout all the carriages.
The business class passengers were extremely excited, chanting Wilford's name in unison.
Everyone was extremely grateful to him.
Wilford, who witnessed this in first class, simply chuckled.
These business class passengers were his employees or small and medium-sized partners who not only knew nothing about the global cooling plan, but also, under normal circumstances, would never have had the chance to board this train.
These people were able to get on the bus purely because of his advance notice.
Know--
Just before his global cooling plan was about to be implemented, he revealed to these people the impending global freeze and told them that he was building a luxury train tour route to deal with this situation.
In the context of rapid global cooling following the CW-7 emissions, he easily gained everyone's trust.
Everyone believed that he had saved their lives.
These people are his supporters.
In contrast to business class.
The last carriage, also known as economy class.
The atmosphere here was extremely oppressive.
Most people don't think they're in a good place right now.
If it were truly a good place, would there be a need to use guns to herd people up there?
Everyone knows they've boarded a pirate ship.
The emotional crowd had no interest in Wilford's speech; a group of them were plotting how to break down the doors between the carriages.
Seventeen-year-old Curtis ate Wilford's entire meal standing up.
Then he was stunned.
It's not for any other reason.
It's purely because...
At the end of his speech, Wilford asked them to look out the window at the people and things...
But you need a window first!
There aren't any windows in this train carriage!
Both sides are made of thick steel plates, solid and without a single cut mark...
How am I supposed to look out the window?
The group that had been fiddling with the train car doors gave up.
"That door is impossible to open. Without the tools, we can't even remove its circuit board..."
"What do those guys want with us locked up here?"
"What was he talking about, some kind of new era? When I see him, I'll tear his mouth apart!"
The shouts and curses echoed throughout the carriage.
Everyone was furious.
Only Curtis sensed something was wrong.
He found a place to sit down and recalled that when Claude arrived, he had vaguely heard a conversation:
"Keep some of the healthy ones, but don't let them be too healthy..."
These seemingly contradictory words made him feel uneasy.
The ominous premonition soon came true.
The train started moving again, and half a day passed quickly.
After being persuaded by an elderly man named " Gilliam ", the passengers who had just been cursing all found a bed and lay down.
However, the person who delivered the food was late.
Curtis felt...
The food delivery person isn't coming.
Wandering Spacetime.
In the conference room of the underground city.
Representatives from various branches and departments of the Mutual Aid Society, as well as leaders of various tasks, were all present here.
Today's topic is naturally the issue of the Snowpiercer Spacetime.
For the past two days, Zhang Tianyuan has been busy putting out fires in the Snowpiercer Spacetime, constantly using Spacetime Tunnel to transfer the plasma from the Planetary Engine, heating the atmosphere in the Snowpiercer Spacetime to prevent the temperature from dropping and extreme disasters from occurring.
Sometimes it involves multi-threaded operation, heating several cold air masses simultaneously.
So, although there have been continuous strong winds and heavy snow over there, and the affected area is getting larger and larger, it is mostly within an acceptable range. Most people can at least keep their lives by covering themselves with a few more blankets.
It's still far from the situation in the Day After Tomorrow Spacetime.
However, judging from the situation over the past two days, this method only treats the symptoms and not the root cause.
The CW-7's residual effect is so great that it continues to exert its influence to this day, relentlessly lowering atmospheric temperatures.
Even though the ultra-high density and ultra-high temperature plasma ejected into the Snowpiercer Spacetime was calculated in hundreds of millions of cubic meters, it was still to no avail.
The effect was so good...
They even attracted the chief engineer of the Planetary Engine. Hopefully, Sun Deyi can ask CW-7 at the right time if they can import some for research. Maybe they can use this thing as a heat dissipation material for the inner wall of the Planetary Engine.
This allows the Planetary Engine to reduce cooling time and accelerate the pulse injection cycle.
"... In short, based on the current situation, the meteorological disasters have been delayed rather than resolved by the Planetary Engine."
"Furthermore, the atmosphere, reheated by the Planetary Engine, exacerbates the uncertainty of the atmospheric system in No. 8 Spacetime. Perhaps in the near future, a super disaster will occur that even the Planetary Engine cannot prevent, just like in No. 6 Spacetime."
In Liu Chunshi's hand was the latest Snowpiercer Spacetime Report.
The news that came out was neither good nor bad, but the situation behind it was very urgent.
" The Planetary Engine's ultra-high temperature plasma can only provide temporary relief, buying us more precious time, but it cannot fundamentally solve the problem."
Zhang Tianyuan tapped the table.
"I think we should get to making contact with No. 8 Spacetime..."
