Chapter 39 The Sun's Unexpected Situation
This comes a week after the committee ordered the nationwide mobilization of the transportation system to move the nuclear reactors.
The committee headquarters in the capital was always brightly lit.
All experts and industry and department heads are on high alert, ready to coordinate and handle any emergencies that may occur in various regions.
Lu Yi and Li Xiaming, who were in charge of the five key railway lines in the north, were naturally also here.
That night.
Lu Yi pushed open the heavy door and walked into the office, bringing with him a chill.
His brows betrayed an undeniable weariness, but his eyes shone brightly.
At this moment, Li Xiaming, as the "timeline recorder," is standing in front of the national railway network map, recording the problems and various solutions that Dongda encountered.
Seeing Lu Yi enter, he looked up and asked:
"What's wrong, Brother Lu? Did something good happen?"
Although Li Xiaming and Lu Yi had only known each other for two months, they had worked together for a long time and had already developed a deep understanding of each other.
Seeing Lu Yi's relaxed gait, Li Xiaming guessed that there must be good news.
Lu Yi did not answer immediately, but handed over the report and tapped lightly on a certain page with his finger.
A slight smile appeared on his lips, and even he, who was usually serious about his work, started humming a little tune.
Li Xiaming took it with a puzzled look and quickly began to read it.
At first his gaze was just scanning quickly, but soon his movements slowed down.
Li Xiaming paused as he turned the page, then slowly lifted it, adjusted his glasses, and leaned closer, his eyes wide, as if to confirm that the information on the paper was not an illusion.
"this……!"
Li Xiaming looked up at Lu Yi, his voice filled with disbelief:
"The most difficult section of the Northwest Railway in the extremely cold region was originally planned to be repaired and opened up in 15 days, or even longer, by another week."
Now, just one week later, they're announcing it's almost finished... eight days or even more ahead of schedule?
"more than."
Lu Yi's voice carried an irrepressible excitement.
"The main railway lines in Northeast China will also soon be completed after emergency repairs and maintenance."
Li Xiaming stared wide-eyed and asked:
"How did you do that?"
The Northwest is a permafrost zone and is covered with plateaus, making construction difficult!
The Northeast was the hardest hit area by this glacial apocalypse-like temperature drop, with record-breaking extreme low temperatures recorded at night!
These two toughest challenges... how come they've become the fastest progressing areas?
Lu Yi walked up to the railway map in front of Li Xiaming and ran his finger across it.
"It's precisely because it's the toughest nut to crack that we've deployed the most elite troops to make sure we can conquer this difficult challenge."
"Look here, this 'high-altitude snow barrier corridor' in the mountains was the biggest challenge we had previously anticipated."
This time, the railway workers cooperated with our military, allowing the engineering corps to use heated steam pipes in conjunction with manual blasting.
Working around the clock, they carved a passage through the cliff edge, thus advancing the planned passage time by sixty hours.
Lu Yi then pointed to another spot:
"And for the secondary line project of this hub, we have an engineering academician research team that invented the 'double-layer insulation shed operation method'."
This allows the local construction environment to be largely unaffected by external temperature drops, enabling workers to safely and reliably repair railways even on colder nights.
This tripled construction efficiency.
"Of course, the most important thing is the help of more people."
"Many shelters in the northeastern and northwestern provinces learned that the country had mobilized the entire nation to repair the railway in order to open up a route for energy and heating for them."
The tens of millions of people in those shelters spontaneously joined our emergency repair team. They helped us bear both the logistical and manpower pressures.
Everyone worked together with a unified purpose, and that's how this miracle in engineering history was finally created.
From Lu Yi's words, Li Xiaming seemed to see countless figures struggling desperately in the wind and snow.
He felt a surge of heat coursing through his chest. Li Xiaming clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and said:
"That's great... There are so many people around us!"
At this rate, we will definitely be able to complete the repair and reinforcement of all major power lines before the next "super cold wave" sweeps across the globe!
"Once the nuclear reactors are safely delivered to every province and city, and the Candle Dragon Project is a complete success, all of us at Dongda University will be able to safely weather these three years of the Ice Age!"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "This transportation of the nuclear reactor requires the cooperation of both our railway and waterway teams."
Our railway team did an excellent job; the waterway team should be making even more progress.
Li Xiaming nodded in agreement.
"Our shipbuilding capabilities at Tokyo University were already in a leading position before the Earth version update."
The Yangtze River Delta, the Bohai Rim, and the Pearl River Delta have hundreds of shipyards, forming the world's most comprehensive shipbuilding industry chain.
"By having them modify and build icebreakers, and in conjunction with the military's blasting of frozen ports and waterways, they should be able to make much faster progress in water transport than our rail transport."
"I imagine the nuclear reactor transportation plan will be able to begin in less than half a month."
Li Xiaming and Lu Yi are both optimistic about the future.
The next day, Li Xiaming received a call from Fang Huaiyuan.
"Comrade Xia Ming."
Fang Huaiyuan's voice came through the speaker, sounding extremely solemn.
"Please act as a 'timeline recorder' and immediately record the complete message I am about to convey."
Li Xiaming's pupils contracted, and a bad premonition rose in his heart, but he still took out the voice recorder and prepared to start recording.
"According to our model from the Center for Solar Physics, School of Astronomy, Tokyo University, the sun will experience another abnormal fluctuation next month, which will lead to another sharp drop in global temperatures."
But just 47 minutes ago, our space station discovered, during its observation of the sun, that the abnormal fluctuations in the sun occurred earlier than we had previously estimated!
The sudden drop in temperature, which was originally expected to occur next month, is likely to happen within the next week or two, or even just a few days!
"What?!"
Li Xiaming exclaimed in astonishment.
He never expected that fate would be so unpredictable and suddenly change its mind!
"President Fang, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Our Glacier fleet, which we originally planned to transport three days after the exercise, has to be moved up to set sail today."
Comrade Xia Ming, you can personally come to the fleet, sail with the nuclear reactor to the target port, and record any problems that arise afterward.
Fang Huaiyuan's usually calm voice now carried a hint of urgency.
Clearly, the sudden abnormality of the sun disrupted the normal rhythm of Tokyo University, and all plans had to be accelerated!
