The underground city plan was finally activated. The engineering teams of the various countries rushed to various construction sites. They were prepared to build an extremely large human underground city from all directions.
This project sounded easy, but after the real construction, it would involve many problems. First of all, according to the engineering blueprint, the underground city would be built five thousand meters underground. It would be built into a large city with a population of more than a million.
Such a large city would be spread across the various continents, so the difficulty could naturally be imagined. The most elite engineering team from all over the world rushed to the city and held a discussion meeting overnight. Through this meeting, they had to solve a few important problems. This concerned whether the underground city could be successfully built.
The topography, geological characteristics of the geologic engineering, hydrogeology, adverse geological effects, and the three-dimensional structure of the formation were all things that needed to be discussed and determined at this meeting.
Therefore, the meeting had been held for more than ten hours, but all the engineers did not look tired at all because they knew that they were making a major plan that concerned the future of mankind.
“If we want to build an underground city at a depth of 5,000 meters, the balance of the core in the earth will be disturbed. Its influence passes through the discontinuity of Gutenberg and affects the earth vein. It’s very likely to cause a volcanic eruption in the geothermal heat of various continents. This is a fatal danger to the underground cities of humans.”
“That’s right. At the same time, we face the problem of global seismic magma activity. After all the underground cities were established, it was very likely to form restless volcanoes that could erupt at any time.
“Therefore, the materials needed to build the underground city need to be extremely important. After the comprehensive investigation of our scientific research team, perhaps only the many materials found in the ruins of civilization on the outer ball battlefield can achieve such an effect.”
The engineers of the engineering team expressed their opinions one after another. It was also under such conflicting opinions that they could finally form a proper plan. In fact, humans had excavated underground cities a long time ago. People had once discovered about 36 underground cities in the Tulnia region.
Although these cities were only small cities, it was enough to show people that underground cities had indeed existed a long time ago. Nonetheless, there were often differing opinions about who the builder was, when it was built, and what its use was.
Some say that in the early days of Christianity, believers of this new religion came to this place to find a place of refuge and established the underground city as a refuge. Some people said that when the war broke out in the second century AD, people who had been ravaged by the flames of war built underground cities, hoping to avoid the flames of war.
These hypotheses were not confirmed at all. One thing that could be used as a reference for everyone was that the foundation in this area was formed by condensed limestone. Because there were volcanoes nearby, as long as there was an obsidian foundation, it was very easy to dig through it.
Therefore, according to the scientists’ initial hypothesis, perhaps these early underground cities had been emptied in less than a generation. Most of these underground cities were three-dimensional buildings that exceeded 13 floors. On the lowest floor, people had even discovered artifacts from the Shaanmit era.
Based on this, engineers can also come up with a hypothesis. Unless it was built in a special place, it would take at least three years for ordinary foundations to excavate enough to establish an underground city. This was undoubtedly an adventure for Earth, which was already short on time.
Everyone had to bet their lives on the outcome of the underground city.
After a long discussion, the engineering teams of various countries finally integrated a perfect plan. The underground cities were no longer built according to the categories of countries. Instead, they were centered on the twelve immortal palaces.
In this way, if they used the entire country’s strength, they only needed to build twelve underground cities. This was the most time-saving plan for Earth. As the mighty engineering team drove into the range of the twelve palaces, it also meant that the vast underground city project had officially begun.
Rock engineering could not be successfully excavated in one go. Instead, it needed to be excavated many times to complete. Due to the nonlinear nature of the rock material, the stress state after the force was completely different. The soil in various places would naturally be different for the construction team.
Therefore, for all the projects, their ordeal had only just begun.
On Great Xia’s side, they chose the entrance to the underground city to be under Mount Tianding. The underground city here would also be the largest underground city in the world. Basically, every country in Asia would eventually have to take refuge in this underground city.
The underground city that was to be built was not a fake underground city for sightseeing.
Therefore, scientists had to consider the problem of energy. After all, the sun was their source of energy. Light and heat could also allow plants to photosynthesize, allowing animals to keep warm. Ultraviolet rays could also kill bacteria, and heat could provide water circulation. These were all essential factors for human survival.
