The Antarctic courtyard project has been mentioned as one of the three major projects of the wandering earth long ago, but because its construction period is too long, even if it is built by using the energy of the fire seed source, it has not achieved results until today.
Qiao Li has never had the opportunity to take a good look, because he always has too many things, and often does not even have a good look at the time on the wandering earth, let alone run to a place as far away as Antarctica.
Nowadays, the population on the wandering earth is concentrated in the northern hemisphere, because only here can the planetary engine maintain the adaptive temperature when crossing to hyperspace.
After being parked in a stellar orbit, the rotation of the earth controlled by a planetary engine will also keep the northern hemisphere in daylight for most of the time, and only a few times will the southern hemisphere be illuminated by sunlight.
Therefore, the southern hemisphere is still frozen in thousands of miles, and the snow is extremely cold. It is still in the era of wandering earth, and basically no one wants to live here.
The South Pole, located in the middle of the southern hemisphere, is even colder. Temperatures below 90 degrees are normal. If there is no protective clothing, people will be frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.
For many people on the wandering earth, this is far from the end of the civilization farther away than the universe.
Because if you want to go to the universe, you can easily reach the crescent base by simply passing the planetary engine transmission tower and overlooking the stray earth from space.
However, if you want to go to Antarctica, it will be considered as crazy by many people.
Why go to such a desolate and hard place? Except for a few pieces of scrap iron from the battle of Cybertron, what else is there to miss?
However, some things are destined not to be understood by most people, but they can become extremely important life-saving straws at critical moments.
This is the case of the Antarctic Yard Project. From the day it began, it has been accompanied by countless rumors and slanders, and its bold conception is really beyond the imagination of the world.
From the South Pole to the North Pole, a tunnel equivalent to the diameter of the earth is opened, and then this half of the earth tunnel is turned into an electromagnetic orbit of 6,300 kilometers in length, forming an electromagnetic orbit gun with a total length of 12,756 kilometers!
Even just a bolt less than ten centimeters in diameter, after accelerating through this long electromagnetic orbit, can form a shell enough to destroy an interstellar warship!
Therefore, the Antarctic Yard Project, also known as the Earth Cannon, once completed, will serve as the main artillery of Wandering Earth and become a super weapon sufficient to compete with the Death Star.
Now Qiao Li is going to see this magnificent project with his own eyes, going to a place farther than the universe.
The transportation method chosen by Jolly is not the fastest aircraft, but an ultra-long railway across the entire southern hemisphere, which the coalition government calls the Snow Country Train.
In the low-pressure southern hemisphere, especially in places such as Antarctica, the cost of relying on air cargo is so high that it is impossible to support the consumption of the Antarctic courtyard project.
Therefore, before the Antarctic Yard Project started, the coalition government first started the Snow Country Train Project to build a railway that runs through the entire Southern Hemisphere to transport materials to the needs of the Antarctic Yard Project.
The total length of the snow country trains exceeds 20,000 kilometers, and in the past it was undoubtedly another super project.
Especially when it is to be built in the deserted and frozen southern hemisphere, it is undoubtedly a test of the wandering earth ’s railway construction ability.
However, the level of infrastructure of Wandering Earth is also well-tested, otherwise 10,000 planetary engines will not be born.
This time the snow country train project was also completed very well, allowing a continuous flow of supplies to Antarctica, supporting the consumption of the entire Antarctic courtyard project.
If these materials are replaced by air transportation, the transportation cost will probably be able to keep up with the construction cost of the snow country train.
Qiao Li took the snow country train just to experience this super project attached to the Antarctic courtyard project.
Just to meet the material transportation of the Antarctic courtyard project, the railway project with such an exaggerated total length has been used. It can be seen how huge the overall scale of the Antarctic courtyard project is!
Compared to the construction of a railway with a total length of more than 20,000 kilometers on the ground, opening an earth tunnel of more than 12,000 kilometers will undoubtedly be ten million times more difficult. Of course, it will not be easy.
The snow country train is indeed worthy of the name. Because the whole journey is in the southern hemisphere, the scenery outside the window is basically an endless ice field.
It was an ocean that had been completely frozen. How vast the sea once was, how empty this ice field is now.
The train is traveling in such a boundless snow country. There are no other stops in the middle, as if it is going to reach the end of the world.
Antarctica is originally the end of the South, so it is not wrong to say so.
Most of the snow country trains are freight, only a few cars are responsible for carrying people, most of them are workers involved in the Antarctic courtyard project, and a few are members of the scientific research team.
Generally, no one wants to go sightseeing in this kind of place, unless it is to relive the hard times of the time when the stray earth escaped.
After the latest magnetic levitation force field technology improvement, the snow country train has a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour and can reach the South Pole in less than 24 hours. This has greatly reduced the time cost of traveling to the South Pole.
During this period, Qiao Li was resting in the first class, and just returned from a battle, he also needed time to readjust his condition.
2B had been waiting beside him, but he basically didn't say a word to Joeldo.
She was originally a cold-skinned, shy person. If Qiao Li didn't take the initiative to find her, 2B wouldn't talk much.
Unfortunately, Qiao Li is in a state of fatigue that can only escape the day of birth ~ EbookFREE.me ~. He can only breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.
Even if the physical body is transformed, he will feel mentally fatigued. Qiao Li is not an extraordinary and immortal immortal, but he will also feel tired.
2B just watched him silently, and for her, this was also the task of the close guard.
There are two United Government security guards guarding the sealed compartment. You can't let idle people wait to come in and disturb Qiao Li.
So there were only two guys in the cabin, Qiao Li and 2B. Qiao Li fell asleep in the seat, and 2B was waiting.
Since this is a suspended train, it is smooth and stable, and basically does not feel shaking.
Because of this, Qiao Li slept more securely, and 2B was responsible for the guards around him, so he didn't have to worry about personal safety.
In this way, the snow country train went all the way to Antarctica, carrying Qiao Li all the way to the horizon of the earth.
