The rise of nanometers

Vicky and two guys worked in the wholesale market for more than five hours and finalized more than 20 purchase contracts.

Then take the tram to the northern part of Choiba Mountain, where there is a dedicated railway to Chita. He needs to discuss some cargo transportation details with the railway company.

Suddenly, the clerk Anthony came over with his mobile phone and said with a solemn expression: "Boss, there is a problem with the Chita railway. It may take a few days."

"What's wrong?"

Anthony explained: "It has been snowing heavily these days, and the snow on one section of the route is too thick. There are two small sections with more than 30 centimeters of snow. The trains need to consider safety."

"Damn it!" Vicky patted his face, his expression a bit ugly.

Although a large part of the railway line from Chouba Mountain to Chita is within federal territory, the federal railway line's ability to clear snow is significantly higher than that of Lucia.

However, due to differences in the railway systems between the two sides, trains must be replaced after crossing the border, and Lucia's railway company is responsible for transportation.

Regarding his hometown, Vicky knew very well the behavior of the birdmen. They not only took advantage of them, but also sometimes did nothing to them.

Fortunately, he had anticipated it and did not sign a fixed-term contract, but a relatively stable long-term contract.

Otherwise, the purchased vegetables and fruits cannot be transported back to Chita and will only rot in the warehouse.

He quickly picked up the phone and explained the situation to a group of wholesalers, asking them to delay stocking up. Vicky was ready to wait and see for three days to see what the weather would be like and the railway conditions inside Chita.

Due to an unexpected situation, Vicky hurried to the railway company, got the recent train schedule and part of the price list, and then returned to the Xicheng District of the wholesale market.

He lives in a hotel called "Big Elk". The owner is a fellow villager of Vicki, a Lucian who immigrated to Mobei more than ten years ago and became a federal citizen by accident.

"Ivan, same old."

The boss Ivan, who was cleaning the tables at the bar, saw the three of them, turned around and shouted towards the kitchen: "Meal No. 3 serves 3 people."

"Okay." A deep voice came from the kitchen.

Boss Ivan took a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet at the bar, and took three glasses and ice cubes, and walked to Vicky's table.

This hotel is a 9-story new building. The first floor is a restaurant, the second floor is Ivan's family's own residence, and the other floors are hotel rooms.

He opened the vodka, poured a glass for Vicki, and then asked curiously: "Didn't you say you were going to go for a whole day? Why did you come back in half a day?"

"Forget it, the snow on the railway side of Chita is too thick, we need to wait." After saying that, Vicky drank half a glass of vodka, grabbed a handful of alcoholic peanuts, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The two guys were also drunkards, but they didn't dare to drink more, so they drank only half a glass.

Ivan shook his head: "It's snowing again, and it's snowing earlier this year."

"Yes! You have successfully immigrated. Now you don't have to worry about these problems. My whole family depends on me." Depressed Vicky drank the remaining half a glass of vodka in one gulp: "Huh..."

After a while, the chef delivered the meal.

Beetroot soup, mashed potatoes, big ribs, fried red sausage, plus a vegetable salad.

The portions are full, which is a specialty of the Big Elk Inn, which provides an extra-large set meal specifically for Lucians living in Lucia.

The two guys were already feasting, while Vicky was chatting with Boss Ivan while eating.

There are many of their fellow villagers in the restaurant, who are also eating and drinking, but compared to the free and unrestrained style in their hometown, their drinking is relatively restrained.

Although the federal government does not prohibit drinking, those who drink and cause trouble will be fined and deported.

Many people have gone through untold hardships to work or do business in Mobei. If they are deported in violation of federal regulations, it will really be more of a loss than a gain.

After drinking another half glass of vodka, Vicky looked out the window at the spring-like scenery and couldn't help but show envy: "It would be great if I could live here forever!"

"..." Ivan, who was eating peanuts on the side, felt very complicated inside.

He understood the thoughts of Vicky and others, and at the same time he was grateful for his decision back then, as well as a hint of complicated remembrance.

In high latitudes, it is difficult for Ivan to imagine how powerful the technology is and how much money and materials it will consume to build such a city that simulates a subtropical climate.

Especially for the Lucians, who live in a subarctic climate, this place is simply a paradise.

Ivan thought of many fellow villagers and secretly contacted him, hoping to help them find a way to immigrate to the Federation. Unfortunately, the Federation's control over this aspect was as strict as an iron wall.

At this time, in the Beicheng District of Qiaoba Mountain, an engineering staff of more than 3,000 people was taking a train with luggage and various equipment to the west, 57 kilometers away.

They were the engineers and technicians responsible for the previous construction of the dome system, and they were also the last batch of people to leave.

The three companies responsible for the construction of the Qionglu system have no intention of stopping. They will continue to transform cities across the north.

Both large cities and small cities have been included in the scope of transformation to ensure that urban transformation in all parts of the north is completed before 2030, so that the dome system fully covers the north.

The Mobei, Northeast, and West regions are the areas most vulnerable to the threat of global cooling. Naturally, priority should be given to the renovation of cities in these areas.

Sunflower County, a small city on the west side of Qiaoba Mountain, is a newly developed agricultural city that mainly produces barley, cotton and sunflowers.

The team of engineers building the dome system began planning and construction here two months ago.

In order to facilitate management, as long as there are no terrain restrictions, the bottom of the protective layer of the dome system is usually a circular arc-shaped sphere with a height generally not exceeding 300 meters.

In the main urban area of ​​Xiangkui County, the area covered by the planned dome system is a circular area with a radius of 2 kilometers.

More than half of the foundation and pillars have been constructed. The next step is to install the dome frame and honeycomb panels, and finally perform integrated connections.

Of course, the dome system is not completely fixed and sealed, and some areas can be adjusted and closed.

The newly mobilized engineers quickly got into work mode.

Super large engineering robots, working exoskeletons, and various engineering equipment fill the surrounding construction sites.

This is a super project created in the confrontation between humans and nature. It can also be said to be an engineering wonder.

If other forces wanted to build this kind of project, not only would it be very technically difficult, but their economic strength would not allow it.

Only the Federation, which has deep pockets and advanced technology, has the confidence to build such a "megastructure."

An inlaid transparent honeycomb board with a thickness of 15 centimeters and a length and width of 12 meters is slowly moved to the designated position under the boom of a large crane.

The honeycomb panels are placed in the honeycomb position of the dome frame. Technicians equipped with exoskeletons quickly fix the honeycomb panels. Then, specific gel is injected into the joints, and then a specific ultraviolet lamp is used to continuously illuminate the honeycomb panels.

The irradiated gel quickly combines the honeycomb board and the dome frame to form a perfect whole.

Engineers and technicians, like hard-working worker bees, are quickly building a hive.
