Chapter 271 Crisis
The entire upper echelons of the Bear Country were well aware of the threat posed by the giant tree. Putin even sent the Katyusha Special Forces to monitor the growth of the giant tree. Although it wasted the combat power of an elite special force, Putin was very afraid of the giant tree. He felt that the giant tree was too threatening to the Bear Country's underground base. The distance was too close. It looked like hundreds of kilometers away, but it was such a mysterious giant tree. He was worried that when he woke up, the roots of the giant tree would grow near the Bear Country base. By then, even if he wanted to evacuate the people in the base, he would not be able to do it.
Shelipova followed the orders of her superiors to the letter. Her troops had ten teams, one of which was responsible for monitoring the giant tree. She arranged the camp of the troops at the location where Gu Ming had dug a hole before. Of course, for safety reasons, she did not set up a camp on the ground, but on the tree. The trees in the forest were originally very strong and tall. She built a camp consisting of dozens of book houses on the tree 30 meters above the ground.
They use rope ladders to go up and down, and they live, rest, and exercise in the camp on the tree. Shelipova sometimes feels that her life now is like the life of an elf in a myth.
Because there is a cave left by Gu Ming, Katyusha's team members set up monitoring equipment directly in the cave. They only need to monitor from the display screen in the library. Here I have to say that although the Bear Country did not get many high-tech items from the Yuanxin Base, for some not so important items, Gu Ming still sold some super cold-resistant materials for money. Scientists in the Bear Country have made many technological products based on those cold-resistant materials, which can be regarded as indirectly helping the Bear Country to develop in the doomsday. Of course, compared with the items that the Xia country officials exchanged from the Yuanxin Base, it is a small witch compared to a big witch.
The giant tree has grown to more than 2,000 meters in height. Although the diameter has not changed much, the changes in this tree still make Shelipova worried. At a rate of about 10 meters per day, it can grow more than 3,000 meters in a year. And who can be sure that its growth rate will not increase in the future? The most important thing is the roots of this giant tree. If its roots spread to the surrounding areas, then the underground base of the bear country will be the first to bear the brunt.
Shelipova knew that Emperor Putin had been preparing a retreat in order to deal with possible crises in the future. The disintegrated Soviet Union had left a great legacy to the Bear Country. There were several national-level underground bases in the westernmost territory of the Bear Country. Emperor Putin had already sent some people there to make advances, and some engineering troops followed to build bases. In fact, the upper echelons of the Bear Country had a top-secret plan to abandon the Bear Country, abandon some of its personnel, and retain some of its elites. These elites would withdraw to the territory of the Xia Country. Emperor Putin had already communicated with several elders of the Xia Country. At that time, the Bear Country would automatically abandon its state system and become a nation to join the Xia Country. Several elders of the Xia Country felt that there was no big problem in accepting hundreds of thousands of Bear Country people. The most important thing was that the upper echelons of the Bear Country stayed in the Bear Country. They also knew that if they followed the evacuation, then the Xia Country would definitely not accept them. So in order for the Bear Country to exist as a nation, Emperor Putin and his people automatically gave up the chance to survive. Of course, this was the worst plan.
Why did Shelipova know the upper echelons' plan? This is because Putin let her know. Putin's plan is that when it really comes to that point, the elites who retreat to Xia will be led by Shelipova. Putin has a plan in mind, that is, Shelipova has met with the mysterious Xia man Gu Ming. He hopes that Gu Ming can take care of the survivors of Mao Xiong Country for the sake of seeing Shelipova. This is also his little calculation.
"Alas." Thinking of many things, Shelipova sighed a little disappointedly. Although Mao Xiong Country has improved a little because of the material support of Yuanxin Base, there is still not much change overall. Of course, the most important thing is that there is no future, which is very desperate. Human beings are very magical. If you can't see the future, basically there is not much difference between your daily life and zombies. But as long as you give humans hope, they can also exert unimaginable power.
"Sir, there is a situation." One of the men came out of the tree house and came to Shelipova to report to her.
Shelipova knew that this subordinate was the one who was monitoring the condition of the giant tree's roots. Although she was a little panicked when she heard her words, her expression on her face was still very calm. She had to be calm. If she, as a superior, was panicked, then her subordinates would be even more panicked.
Entering the monitoring room, the subordinates who were monitoring the display screen in the room greeted her respectfully. Shelipova just nodded and smiled in response. She came to the monitor that monitored the tree roots and watched the screen carefully. She found that the roots of the giant tree had changed. Gu Ming used a machine to dig a cave that went straight down, but the roots did not grow horizontally before, but just grew downwards. Now Shelipova saw from the monitor that a few roots began to develop horizontally, which startled her. The roots of this giant tree began to expand around, and the worst situation analyzed by the think tank began to happen.
"You continue to monitor, and report to me if there are any abnormalities." Shelipova instructed her subordinates to continue to monitor the growth of the tree roots.
Seripova walked out of the monitoring room, feeling a little depressed, feeling a little heavy and uncomfortable. However, she still returned to her residence and contacted her superiors at the base through the communicator she obtained from the Far New Base to report the abnormality that had occurred in the giant tree. She reported to her superiors and then hung up the communicator. As for any decision from the superiors, Seripova knew that the superiors would definitely hold a meeting to study it. At least she would have to wait for a while before she could receive the order from the superiors.
After the military leaders of the Mao Xiong Kingdom received Seripova's report, they did not dare to delay and immediately reported the situation to Emperor Pu. When Emperor Pu heard this abnormal situation, although his expression did not change, he had already begun to beat drums in his heart. The think tank's The analysis was correct, and he would rather the think tank's judgment was wrong, so that the Bear Country would still have a future. Now the roots of the giant tree are beginning to expand in all directions, and I don't know how long it will take for Jin to come to the base.
Emperor Pu immediately convened a meeting with the leaders of various departments. After everyone came to the conference room and sat down, he first asked the military leader to introduce the abnormal situation of the giant tree. After the military leader finished speaking, he then spoke. "Everyone, let's talk about what we should do and what methods we can use to deal with that giant tree. We don't have to kill it, but at least we can't let the roots of the giant tree grow towards our base, otherwise we won't be able to survive. How long will it take before our base is destroyed?"
After listening to Emperor Pu's words, everyone present was deep in thought. They were all thinking about any means to prevent the roots of the giant tree from growing. Now everyone must try their best, knowing that if they don't work hard, If so, then you can imagine what the future of the Woolly Bear Country will be like. Subjugation of the country and genocide is no joke. If such a thing really happens, then they will be the eternal sinners of the Woolly Bear Country.
"Great Emperor, can we use something to guide the growth direction of the roots of that giant tree?" This was the method one of the officials thought of. Seeing everyone staring at him seriously, he continued, "As long as the roots of the tree grow in the direction Guide it in the direction and prevent it from growing towards us. Even if the giant tree cannot be eliminated, the problem will be solved for us. Of course, it would be better if the giant tree can be eliminated directly. "
Nonsense, who doesn’t know? Many people secretly thought that they had actually thought of this method, but there was something that the giant tree needed in particular, or that was most important to the growth of the giant tree. Everyone present was not a fool, and they immediately thought of the brain core, Beast cores and meteorites, especially meteorites. Shelipova had already reported to them some information about the giant tree. She knew that there was a meteorite completely wrapped by the roots under the giant tree, and that the tree could grow like this, and Such abnormal abilities are definitely related to the meteorites in the ground.
"The method you said makes sense." Emperor Pu showed his approval of the other party's suggestion, but then he said, "I believe everyone has guessed that meteorites have an effect on giant trees, but have you ever thought about our The first way is to drink poison to quench thirst. The meteorite may speed up the growth of the giant tree. What should we do when the meteorite is used up? I believe that the giant tree should have a lot of wisdom, and it should speed up its growth by then. If we come from the base, we will have no choice but to die."
Everyone present has a high IQ. They all know that the emperor is right, but if this method is not used, then with the giant tree's growth rate of ten meters a day, it may not take a year for the roots of the giant tree to grow. Will come near the base.
Everyone discussed for another hour, but no one thought of a good way. The first method was the most reliable and easiest to implement. With the meteorite reserves in the Bear Country, meteorites were directly used to guide the growth of tree roots. Scientists conservatively It is estimated that they can buy the Woolly Bear Country at least ten years. They can use meteorites to guide the roots of the trees while doing research on the giant trees to see what weaknesses the giant trees have and prepare a retreat. These are very important. For good measure.
In the end, it was Emperor Pu who decided to test the effect with the meteorite first. If the giant tree was not seduced away by the meteorite according to their plan, then their plan would be useless.
The execution ability of the Mao Xiong Kingdom is still very strong. Soon a team escorted some fragmented meteorites to the Katyusha Special Forces Station. It took them two days to arrive at the Katyusha Station.
The leader of the escort unit handed over the meteorite to Seripova. They did not leave immediately. They also wanted to conduct experiments on tree roots with the Katyusha troops to see how effective the meteorite was. If it was feasible, they would be responsible for transporting it in the future. If there is no effect, they will have to transport the meteorite back to the base. After all, the meteorite can be exchanged for supplies with the Far New Base, and the meteorite itself has a great effect on the evolution of human beings. Not to mention other things, but there are With such a function, meteorites are the most precious things in the doomsday era.
