$1,570 Crazy Speculation

"Qingtang?" Ye Han was surprised and said, "Isn't it an underground city?"

Qingtang is one of the largest cities in the northwest region. The defense system there is very complete. It is one of the largest ground resettlement areas in the northwest region. It is indeed a good place.

"No." Wu Han said, "The dug underground cities are full. Where can we find underground cities for them? It's good that Qingtang is willing to accept so many people."

Ye Han immediately looked at the map and calculated the scale in his mind: "From the East No. 9 base to Qingtang, the straight-line distance is no less than 2,000 kilometers, and the actual distance is at least more than 3,000 kilometers. Even if we defeat these insect swarms, the aliens will definitely send more insect swarms. It's difficult to send people safely across...!"

Wu Han said, "It's easy, and you can still get your turn? Don't you think about it? This is just the beginning? After the evacuation of East No. 9, there are still five underground cities, and the sea level is still rising. There are not many underground cities that need to be evacuated at the moment, but at the current melting rate of the glaciers, at least 30 to 50 underground cities must be evacuated in the next few years. Just think about it, how many people will that be!"

Ye Han couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The size of underground cities varies, and their carrying capacity is also different. The largest can accommodate more than 100,000 people, and the smallest can only accommodate a few thousand people. On average, each underground city has 50,000 people. If 40 underground cities need to be relocated, that would be a full 2 ​​million people!

Fortunately, most underground cities are built in the central and western regions. If they were all built in coastal areas... Hehe, Ye Han didn't dare to think about how to relocate hundreds of millions of people.

Relocation is secondary. The most important thing is where to relocate.

The central and western regions are not as developed as the coastal areas, and there is not much pressure to digest millions of people. If 100 million people are really relocated, just eating, drinking, defecating and urinating is a big problem that cannot be solved.

Thinking of this, Ye Han suddenly had an idea. This time, only more than 30,000 people were evacuated. Maybe the higher-ups deliberately chose the base with the smallest population. The purpose is not simply to relocate people to Qingtang. Maybe there is also the idea of ​​paving the way for other bases and gaining experience for evacuating more bases in the future.

Although Ye Han has been promoted to lieutenant general, he does not have much power. The higher-ups will not ask for his opinion on any arrangements, and he has no ability to interfere with the decisions made by the higher-ups. The only thing he can do is to do every task assigned by the higher-ups well and minimize the losses as much as possible.

Perhaps because he felt it was not very intuitive, Wu Han pointed at the conference table again and changed to a new map: "This is the map after the global glaciers melt. The sea level will rise by 66 meters. Most coastal areas will be submerged by sea water, and the northern capital will become a coastal city. Tell me, by that time, how many underground cities must be evacuated?"

Ye Han looked at the map, his eyes blurred: "Is this true?"

"Absolutely true." Wu Han said, "It's made based on the altitude. It's very shocking, right?"

Ye Han smiled bitterly: "Aliens can't be that crazy, right? If all the glaciers in the North and South Poles melt, how high will the temperature be?"

Wu Han said: "Do you dare to say that aliens are not crazy? Do you know how high they want to raise the temperature?"

Ye Han smiled bitterly again: "I dare not say!"

To melt all the glaciers in the North and South Poles, how much global temperature needs to be raised?

He didn't know what the answer was, but he knew that the lowest temperature in the world appeared in Antarctica!

Ye Han's home is in the north, where there are four distinct seasons. The average temperature in winter is more than ten degrees below zero, the lowest temperature is close to forty degrees below zero, and the highest temperature in summer is about thirty degrees above zero, that is, the temperature difference between winter and summer is about seventy degrees.

He vaguely remembered seeing somewhere that more than seventy degrees below zero is the average temperature in Antarctica in winter. According to this number, the lowest temperature in Antarctica should be close to ninety degrees below zero, that is, the average temperature in Antarctica in summer should be around twenty degrees below zero.

Now the global temperature has risen by six degrees. If it rises by another fourteen degrees, the average temperature in Antarctica in summer will reach above zero. The Antarctic ice sheet, which has existed for many years, will gradually melt and become an accomplice in raising the sea level.

But there will be such a day, and the sea level will no longer be important, because the average temperature in the north in summer will reach fifty degrees above zero, and extreme weather may even reach sixty degrees above zero!

What is the concept of sixty degrees above zero? It is not surprising that the surface temperature under direct sunlight reaches eighty or even ninety degrees above zero.

Can humans survive in a temperature of 60 degrees above zero?

Perhaps, such extreme temperatures often occur in desert areas.

But what about 80 degrees above zero? What about 90 degrees above zero? People will be roasted, and there is no way they can survive?

"Good to know!" Wu Han knocked on the table hard, "Although there is no clear instruction from above, I believe that within a period of time, your task is to escort the evacuation of personnel. It is a good opportunity to run in the troops."

Ye Han quickly expressed his position: "Don't worry, Chief, we will carry out whatever tasks are assigned by the above!"

"Very good, I am looking forward to your good news!" At this point, Wu Han stood up, "Okay, let's stop here today. After returning, get familiar with the equipment immediately and set off as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" Everyone stood up at the same time, and Wu Han left.

After the door of the conference room was closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Everyone's eyes were cast on Ye Han.

Ye Han sighed: "Is everyone clear about the mission?"

"Clear!"

Ye Han said: "There are no outsiders here, I don't want to say more, and there is no need to say more. I just took over the troops and am not familiar with the situation, but you have all been in place for a while, right?"

"Seven days for me!" Xiao Yuan raised his hand.

"Five days for me!" Ouyang Ping raised his hand.

"I'm just like you!" Luo Qi raised his hand.

Ye Han glared at Luo Qi fiercely: "You are the only one who talks too much!"

Luo Qi quickly shrank his neck.

Ye Han said: "That means Luo Qi and I are the only ones who are not familiar with the equipment, right?"

He has read the information. The orbital airborne troops formed this time are different from the past. In the past, those airborne troops still followed the old path of paratroopers, but this time they followed the route of elite troops.

To use a not particularly vivid analogy, in the past, airborne troops were like powerful infantry, while orbital airborne troops were like special forces. The two were not at the same level at all.

The most direct manifestation is equipment.

The main equipment of the orbital airborne troops is naturally powered armor, but this armor adopts some alien technology and uses many new materials. Its performance has been greatly improved. Compared with previous powered armors, it is like a van or a supercar. .

Xiao Yuan nodded honestly, and Ouyang Ping immediately agreed. Ye Han couldn't help but smile: "Okay, just the two of us will not have much influence. Go back and lead the troops, and board the ship as soon as possible... Lin Yi!"

"arrive!"

"How is the situation on the battleship?"

"Everything is normal, you can leave at any time!" Lin Yi replied loudly.

"Very good, then organize the boarding immediately."
