Unknowingly, the sandy beach where the forward base is located is raining lightly. At first no one took this climate change to heart, but as the rain continued, everyone unexpectedly observed that the distant coastline was moving here!
If you look down from the sky, you will find that the landing point chosen by the Rong Elephant looks like it is in a desert. But the desert is not dry, but full of moist water vapor, and there are even many stars in it. It is because the terrain that looks like a desert is actually a huge beach along the beach! At this time, along with the rain, the distant coastline is quickly approaching here, which is obviously ‘high tide’!
At this time, an engineer who was constructing the base changed his expression: "No, the foundation of this base is too shallow. If it is affected by the high tide, it will not rule out the possibility of being washed away by the ocean tide. The foundation must be reinforced, otherwise the space elevator will be damaged. risks of."
Xueyan Ling also changed his face, and quickly looked at the Elephant Rong next to him: "Is there any good plan?" No way, this can actually be regarded as an error of the Elephant Rong. He did not expect that the tide on this planet would be like this. .
"It's too late to deepen the foundation...So, everyone and I will go to the front of the base to build a water blocking dam. We only need to block the impact of the waves in advance to ensure that the base is intact." The Rongxiang responded quickly. , Even faster than everyone expected.
Because of this situation in this era, let alone encountered it, even I rarely heard of it, so the first time everyone encountered this situation was confused. But Rong Xiang's previous life regarding floods and water conservancy can be said to have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, so he immediately thought of an idea to deal with it.
But only two minutes after proposing this plan, he has quickly designed a trapezoidal dam structure with the help of the auxiliary system, and sent this design plan to everyone's personal terminal.
"Of course, the necessary fixation is still needed. I also plan to install fixed foundation pillars around the base wall, a total of 32. I think this is enough for our base to survive this tide." Rong Xiang then Gives a supplementary plan.
His quick thinking and excellent response made everyone, including the smoke, begin to feel convinced, and the group immediately began to scramble for work according to his design plan. The super productivity of the interstellar age played a role at this time. A thick alloy pillar was quickly produced, and then the engineering mech carried the foundation pillar around the base.
The dam wall in front of the base did not fall in progress, and the alloy pillars were deeply driven into the sand as a fixing and frame, and then the hot molten metal poured directly into it...The rich blood smoke Aya actually intended Directly create an all-metal structure dam!
The rain continued to fall, and there was even water in the base. This is also one of Rong Xiang's design flaws. He did not expect that the entire base would be soaked in water, so the original drainage facilities would naturally be unusable.
But no one is interested in these now. They just noticed that the sea level in the distance is getting closer and closer, and they can even hear the sound of the waves and tides.
"Judging from the surveillance pictures fed back from the Gemini, there should be no huge waves forming on the sea in the distance, and our measures should be sufficient." An engineer seemed to report the situation, but more to himself. Because there are enough weird conditions on this planet, he can't guarantee that he is really foolproof.
Rong Elephant and Xueyan Ling were both standing on the top of the front dam wall. In theory, this dam wall, which is two hundred meters high, can definitely withstand any flood peaks, but you will eventually feel uneasy if you don't see it with your own eyes.
"Boom!"
The waves hit the dam wall under the feet of the two, creating a burst of vibration. But the dam wall, all made of superalloy, was very stable, and there was no sign of shaking. But the sea water could not break through this crescent-shaped high wall, so it could only diverge to both sides. The advancing base, protected by the crescent-shaped dam wall in the middle, completely avoided the most powerful waves, but allowed the seawater to fill the artificial bay formed by the dam wall. The water surface outside the base wall also slowly increased...
After a long time, the sea finally calmed down again. But at this time, the sea level has exceeded half the height of the base wall, and the entire base is undoubtedly soaked in water.
"So the next step is to make too much foundation." Bloody smoke Aya rubbed her head with a headache, and felt that everything since she had descended on this planet was a mess, and she was already a little hard to fight.
originally thought it was a time to breathe a little, but another staff member exclaimed: "What's the matter, the energy loss rate of the base has increased!"
"Don't get excited, how much has it increased?" Bloody Smoke Aya was a little nervous standing on the top of the dam wall, but her condescending posture and calm words calmed the people who were getting more and more nervous.
"Reported military owner ~EbookFREE.me~ increased by 0.1%...Sorry, I was too nervous." The person said embarrassedly.
Bloody Smoke Ling breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to relieve the nervous young man, but the elephant beside him suddenly jumped into the water ahead!
"What's wrong with you?!" Bloody Smoky Stomach stomped her feet badly but didn't jump down, because she noticed that the Rong Elephant didn't actually jump into the water, but instead clung to a dam wall above the water. It seems to be studying something.
"There is a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear?" Rong Xiang responded in amazement, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"Let me talk about the bad news first, I am in a bad mood now. I want to leave the good news for the end, maybe it will make me happy." Xueyan Aya replied somewhat helplessly and playfully. Because she can be sure, this shouldn't be a big deal.
"The bad news is that our dam wall is broken." Rong Xiang answered surprisingly.
Before Xueyan Ling had time to ask the question, her retinas in her eyes received the projection of the horizon from Rong Xiang... She quickly saw the dam wall under her feet. There were many large and small sizes on the super alloy wall. Little crater! In the waves, there is something unexpectedly capable of concealing the dam wall made of superalloy!
"What caused that?" Xueyan asked.
"Then I should tell you the good news... The culprit should be the ore that was washed over by the waves..." Rong Xiang broke a piece of black gold ore embedded in it from a pit, and said confidently : "At the same time, I can also be sure that it is also the culprit that caused the energy loss of our base to accelerate by 0.1%!"
"You mean, an ore is absorbing our energy..."
