Interstellar Spacetime.
After Instructor Yin finished organizing the information he had obtained from his previous communication with Jing Youwei, he immediately reported it to the higher authorities and, as is customary, also made a copy for the branch headquarters in each timeline.
Zhang Tianyuan received it quickly, glanced at it briefly, and without even having time to think about it, he threw himself back into his work.
He's very busy right now.
Due to a sudden massive earthquake in the Wandering Spacetime, seven underground cities both domestically and internationally experienced magma leaks, and more than ten other underground cities suffered varying degrees of damage, requiring large-scale evacuation.
This is also why Jing Youwei and the others saw vehicles or people flocking to No. 3 Spacetime from various timelines.
Those were all rescue teams that traveled to the disaster area via Spacetime Tunnel.
To date, the number of people affected has reached at least five million.
With such a large population and so many damaged underground cities, the rescue teams can't just save people; they also have to salvage supplies.
Otherwise, the shortage of five million people would be another heavy burden for both the Wandering Spacetime organization and the Mutual Aid Society Association.
Therefore, Zhang Tianyuan urgently transferred Bai Xu, who controlled the time-space warehouse switch, from the "2012" time-space to help salvage the food in these underground cities.
Of course, this only applies to grain.
If the earthworms are dried out, then we'll have to rely on the rescue team.
While helping these people seek refuge, Zhang Tianyuan also needed to find them a suitable place to live.
Previously, when people from the Wandering Spacetime suffered disasters, the usual approach was to send them to the Legend Spacetime, where there was ample living space, houses could be renovated, water and electricity systems could be re-planned and arranged, and even more comfortable living conditions could be provided to these disaster victims than in the underground city.
But the KV Virus in the Legend Spacetime is ultimately a troublesome matter.
Although Mutavore are now almost undetectable in normal environments, no one knows where a Darkseekers might be lurking in the shadows.
Just one of these Mutavore carriers could potentially contaminate an entire city.
Therefore, even now, Legend Spacetime must strictly abide by epidemic prevention regulations when dealing with cross-time and space communication, and must thoroughly disinfect all personnel or items that leave the space.
The loan that was previously given from Legend Spacetime to Interstellar Spacetime
The disinfection measures taken before a large batch of grains is shipped have almost doubled the cost of the grains, with ultraviolet light, ozone, and vacuum disinfection being used in turn.
They didn't care even if it damaged the quality of the food.
The existence of the KV Virus will inevitably hinder the entry and exit of evacuees.
Therefore, President Zhang is discussing with Yuan Heguang whether it's possible to bring some of these disaster victims to Interstellar Spacetime.
Although Interstellar Spacetime is currently facing food shortages, infrastructure development is lagging, and there are various other problems.
However, there is also a very significant benefit to taking in these disaster victims.
That is, these disaster victims are all highly qualified individuals.
This is no joke.
Although life was tough while Wandering Spacetime, education was highly valued in every underground city. After all, they had to keep pushing the Earth along for 2,500 years, and their descendants had to be strong.
Furthermore, because dungeons need to operate independently, each city has a certain level of low- to mid-end industrial system to ensure sufficient supply for the dungeons.
From energy to people's livelihood, from electricians to teachers, there is no industry or talent that cannot be found in the underground city.
Other timelines may only require highly skilled personnel, such as various scientists.
But Yuan Heguang's situation was different.
Given the state of Interstellar Spacetime, very few people have ever attended university; most probably haven't even finished junior high school.
These refugees from the Wandering Spacetime are a powerful force. Even a high school student among them would be more than qualified to be a middle school teacher in Interstellar Spacetime.
With a well-established workforce, and sufficient equipment, production can be quickly reorganized and started again...
These people were perfect for Yuan Heguang, who needed to revitalize industry.
Zhang Tianyuan persuaded Yuan Heguang with just a few words.
If five million people weren't such a large number, he might have agreed on the spot.
However, Yuan Heguang went back and held a meeting for a day and a night, and finally made a decision the next day.
"We plan to first receive 1.2 million domestic disaster victims from No. 3 Spacetime. In addition, we have also established a resettlement area in Southeast Asia, where both industry and agriculture can be developed, and overseas disaster victims can be temporarily relocated there..."
Zhang Tianyuan and Sun Deyi read through the entire proposal.
w.
These disaster victims are all supplied with supplies by Yuan Heguang's side, but if the Interstellar Spacetime cannot support this expenditure, the Wandering Spacetime will also have to step in to provide a safety net.
As a price to feed these nearly five million people, the displaced people in the Wandering Spacetime will fully cooperate with Yuan Heguang's command within the original organizational framework and within the scope of their production and daily life.
To put it bluntly, Yuan Heguang could easily mobilize these disaster victims to work, assigning them to teaching positions or electrical jobs.
With this matter settled, the Wandering Spacetime team is still researching new locations for the underground city, preparing to replace the Planetary Engine that were lost this time.
This requires the use of the system's architectural drawings.
Previously, the design institute had been generating drawings for Planetary Engine almost continuously, and had accumulated more than a dozen drawings in the past two years.
However, this time we'll be selling almost half of them.
Bu Zhen didn't sleep all night.
He set up a tent on the airport runway, keeping his eyes glued to the Spacetime Tunnel at all times. When it got dark and he couldn't see anything, he even put a light on the tunnel entrance.
In the middle of the night, following Jing Youwei's instructions, they added a 24/7 camera to the other side of the tunnel.
After that, he just stood there watching the live stream from the camera.
He finally welcomed back Jing Youwei, who also looked exhausted, in the morning.
As the on-site commander, Jing Youwei brought back a research team.
Upon arriving at the location, after listening to Bu Zhen's understanding of Spacetime Tunnel, the researchers designed an experiment.
Find someone with sharp, long fingernails and a lot of courage, and slowly extend the tip of their fingernail towards the Spacetime Tunnel.
Under the lens of a high-speed camera, the experimenter's fingernails vanished at an imperceptible speed, as if they had never existed.
Then they tried it on girls with long hair, and the results were the same: as soon as they came into contact with the Spacetime Tunnel, their hair and nails would be instantly annihilated.
However, once these two parts are separated from the human body, they can be easily transported to the other side of the Spacetime Tunnel.
"This result proves that this Spacetime Tunnel does indeed possess biometric characteristics, just as they claimed."
After seeing this, everyone abandoned the idea of crawling over to take a look, and could only continue to let the camera do the job...
