Chapter 1007: Section 996 - Storm
Huang Xiulun's phone chimed softly, evidently receiving one of the all-member votes sent to him by the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam". Just two clicks would complete the vote.
But he didn't bother to look. Looking was useless; some matters cannot be changed by personal will.
To attempt utilizing the power of collective will, one must also prepare for being governed by that same collective will.
However, hearing that the Satellite City could be completed in just a month made Huang Xiulun's mouth feel bitter. Chen Fei's actions were too swift, catching people off guard.
Building a city in a month, even if the scale of the Satellite City was much smaller than "Atlantis", the workload was still tantamount to a fantasy.
But to Chen Fei, perhaps 30 days was a bit too much.
His Physical Evolution Database had gained a large number of samples classified under "urban construction", including various buildings, roads, overpasses, light rail, waterways, underground pipelines, subways, and parks, which could be constructed metal-wise like building blocks to create a city in a short time, with the ability to adjust and modify as necessary.
The most time-consuming part was mainly material preparation, not only extracting materials from "Spatial Branding", but also with the assistance of Ability Users preparing relevant materials.
What was most lacking was still the insulation materials needed for electrification, with cables of various specifications never enough.
After all, metals contain a large number of free electrons internally, unless under special conditions, only differing by conductivity and resistance. Although the Psi Skill "material simulation" could substitute, Chen Fei's energy point reserves were far from sufficient. Exchanging 1 energy point for 1 kilogram of insulating metal, that's an unattainable play!
Even with the planned Satellite City not being constructed according to a demographic base of tens or hundreds of thousands, the real situation only demands accommodation for three to five thousand people, at most the scale of a small town. By reserving the space in advance, further expansion can slowly occur, able to accommodate up to 100,000 people, roughly the capacity cap of this Satellite City, which will be determined by the "Skylight" enveloping the Satellite City.
It is estimated that for a thousand years, until the large-scale atmospheric transformation of the planet is completed, the existence of the "Skylight" is crucial.
If the "Wall of Sighs" task force cannot return, what Chen Fei has done with this foundational construction might truly become a legacy lasting centuries or even millennia.
The current construction work, though seemingly exaggerated, is preemptively strategizing for the worst-case scenario.
"You can't..."
Huang Xiulun was about to retort but lamentably discovered that according to procedural justice, until impeachment formally takes effect, Chen Fei can still legitimately exercise mayoral authority.
The AI of "Atlantis" was under the opponent's control, and even before impeachment was formally initiated, they preemptively launched a full-member vote.
Hey, can't you wait a bit longer!
At the crucial moment, the chain dropped. Those military heads were even contemplating killing Chen Xiao'er.
Once the decision for Satellite City immigration is passed, the City Management Committee's impeachment decision immediately becomes a joke. The opposers can all move to the Satellite City and indulge in impeachment games there, leaving "Atlantis" with a single king, a single voice. There truly is a crude exclamation left unsaid!
"Deputy Mayor Huang, is there anything else?"
Chen Fei, smiling benignly, looked at this well-performing "bad asset".
Not putting all eggs in one basket, the Satellite City is akin to a second basket, ensuring that in case of emergency, everything isn't wiped out in one sweep.
Before the Divine Breed, honestly, the people of "Wall of Sighs" are insignificant, the Psi Skill "Isolation" of S-Class Superpower User couldn't block them.
So currently initiating the vote preemptively ahead of impeachment, still follows the strategy of stabilizing internally first, resolving internal strife without bloodshed, and is something to be thankful for.
Presumably, those military heads are equally aware of the fact. Becoming a king or loser, accepting the gamble's outcome, they won't make things look too ugly.
"Nothing more, farewell!"
Having labored for nothing, Huang Xiulun sighed, heading towards the staircase.
Behind him, Chen Fei's voice came again.
"The voting result for the Satellite City is out: 17,631 people, 322 abstentions, 15,528 in favor, 1,781 against, Satellite City decision passed, migration personnel voluntarily signing up, priority to those who impeached me."
From the abstention list were both Chen Fei and Huang Xiulun, with a voting rate exceeding seventy percent, effective immediately. Like the rigid "Cybertrom", "Adam" equally disdains fakery, with every vote traceable.
Huang Xiulun stumbled, hurriedly leaving.
Spending every day chasing sparrows, only to have them peck his eyes.
Weather, geographical conditions, and harmony.
On this unknown planet, this Blue Star Humans' army doesn't possess favorable weather conditions, barely holds partial geographical advantage, and harmony is out of reach. Yet in the vote between "Atlantis" and the Satellite City, Chen Fei completely embodies favorable weather, geographical conditions, and harmony, leaving the opposing faction's military leaders bound to be futile.
A dry ice blizzard seemed never-ending, not merely with snow as large as dinner plates but also hail as big as footballs piercing the resistance of the "Air Film (1)" Magic Array, pounding the surface of Silicon Carbide Translucent Panel, resounding with pinging noises, yet sounds couldn't penetrate the three-foot-thick, aerosol-filled three-layered structure. Even without the effects of "Overall Strengthening (1)" Magic Array, the solid carbon dioxide would hardly damage the high-strength silicon carbide material.
On this planet, the sources of carbon and silicon are nearly ubiquitous, with carbon dioxide in the air and silicate on the surface, completely at one's fingertips. Even without professional refining equipment, Earth Element User can easily extract a large amount, ensuring purity and quality.
Furthermore, silicon carbide itself is a bulletproof material, adeptly handling such extreme conditions, crucial load-bearing areas covered by the Repulsion Shield generated by the SEG Core Unit, preventing any dry ice block from piercing through.
From inside the "Skylight", you can see numerous white block-like materials unexpectedly appearing in the pitch-black sky, with occasionally differently colored stones fiercely hitting the Translucent Panel, shattering into pieces, then bouncing around, mostly falling towards the surroundings of the "Skylight", yet without hearing a sound. Only by standing atop abundant supporting pillars, placing ears against the supporting structure surface, could one faintly hear the slight rustling noises.
Outside the "Skylight" is Hell, minus 144 degrees Celsius, with maximum wind speeds reaching even level 20, and an oxygen ratio close to nonexistent.
In the wilderness, thick dry ice has covered it, along with the mushroom-shaped rocks standing abruptly, illuminating the area into sheer whiteness, with no trace of any possibility of life existing.
No wonder that life here hides deep in ravines and caves. Whether animal or plant, not only do they desperately crave survival resources, they also bloom and reproduce quickly, only to emerge in large numbers when the timing is right, then vanish with astonishing speed.
Inside the "Skylight" is Heaven, 25 degrees Celsius above zero. If moving around, it might even feel a bit warm, with air humidity maintained around 55%-70%. Under the joint stimulation by Wood System Ability User and botanical laboratory, they strive to spread, cut, and divide more plants.
As long as the lighting simulating solar spectrum is maintained, a large propagation of plants helps improve the oxygen ratio inside the "Skylight", allowing everyone to stop dwelling beneath streets and return to the spacious roads of "Atlantis".
Upon the news department of "Atlantis" having communicated weather data from the meteorological team, the over ten thousand individuals of the "Wall of Sighs" experienced a complex mix of feelings as if escaping death. If there hadn't been a dictatorial order forcibly pushing forward the "Skylight", these people might have been wiped out completely as soon as the dry ice storm started.
The impeachment decision threatening Chen Fei's control over "Atlantis" vanished mysteriously and silently as if it never appeared, delivering a heavy blow to the authority of the City Management Committee, which was thought to be of a Senate nature, yet revealing its reality as a retirement home.
The "bad asset" list forcibly separated included about 1,500 people, about to set off towards the Satellite City that has completed the "Skylight", regardless of the terrifying dry ice storm still raging outside.
Even those who voted against ultimately demonstrated discretion, changing their stance.
