Chapter 45 prepares for the next round of apocalyptic updates.
Chapter 45 prepares for the next round of apocalyptic updates.
The news that Tokyo University had successfully deployed nuclear reactors across the country struck like a silent thunderbolt in the global media, which had been quiet for a long time due to extreme cold and famine.
For countless ordinary people around the world struggling to survive in harsh winters and turmoil.
They just thought that the University of Tokyo was very impressive and lucky to be able to rely on the country to win by deploying nuclear reactors across the country and ensuring that all University of Tokyo students could safely get through the three-year Ice Age apocalypse.
But elites and scholars from around the world see much more.
They saw hope for the future of human civilization!
Currently, 90% of the world's countries are paralyzed and experiencing system crashes in this unprecedented version of an ice age apocalypse.
But the University of Tokyo not only managed to remain safe and sound, but also ensured the normal operation of such a vast country.
Its ability to precisely deliver dozens of sophisticated and massive nuclear reactors across thousands of kilometers of ice-bound land to designated cities is a powerful and suffocating feat for anyone in the know.
First, there is the terrifying completeness of its industrial chain. With the power of a single country, it can connect dozens of nuclear reactors, from raw materials to the entire production process!
This is no longer just industrial capability, it's an industrial miracle!
Secondly, in the version of Ice Age, after the apocalypse, the temperature is extremely cold with an average of minus 40 to 50 degrees Celsius.
Millions of workers, engineers, soldiers, and logistics personnel at the University of Tokyo were still able to complete this epic relay transport across the country under unified command.
This almost unrealistic ability of national coordination to be perfectly maintained even in extreme environments is more deterrent than any weapon!
Its profound national heritage is something that all discerning people can clearly recognize.
After the Earth's doomsday update, humanity's future and the center of the world have irreversibly anchored themselves in the East!
Leaders of internationally renowned companies, authoritative scholars from top academic institutions, and core technical talents in various fields.
They began to spare no expense and go to great lengths to try and cross the increasingly fierce global snowstorms to reach the University of Tokyo.
If this occurred before the Earth's doomsday update, such a large-scale outflow of talent and leading high-tech enterprise teams would inevitably encounter strong resistance from the home country's government.
However, in the nearly one month since the glacial apocalypse began.
The governance capacity of most countries is already paralyzed, and even if they want to stop these talents from flowing to Tokyo University, they cannot stop everyone.
For a time, despite the extremely harsh weather conditions, countless planes still broke through the obstacles and flew thousands of miles to Dongda University.
This fervor for talent immigration even surpasses the golden age of the Federation in the last century!
This also marks the fact that after the apocalypse, the center of human civilization will shift to the East!

……
Since the nuclear reactor was successfully connected to the grid nationwide, Li Xiaming no longer has to brave blizzards and travel between railway lines and the Yangtze River waterway.
He returned to a relatively peaceful daily routine, picked up the courses in various subjects carefully arranged by Lu Yi and the country, and began to enrich himself.
However, just a month after Li Xiaming immersed himself in his studies, Lu Yi brought unexpected news.
"The committee has decided to convene a general meeting soon."
Lu Yi's voice made Li Xiaming's eyes widen instantly, and he looked up from his physics book.
"What? Another big meeting?"
He was surprised because, based on past experience, such a high-level and large-scale meeting was unusual.
This often means that the University of Tokyo is facing a major challenge that concerns the fate of all its students and faculty.
For example, the all-out effort to build shelters and produce various supplies before the apocalypse, or the nationwide mobilization of railways and waterways for Project Candle Dragon.
Based on his experience from his previous life, Li Xiaming...
With the great success of Project Candle Dragon, the magnificent nuclear power Great Wall of Tokyo University has been built, so this glacial apocalypse should no longer pose much of a threat.
So what new situation has arisen that necessitates restarting such a high-level conference?
Faced with Li Xiaming's questioning gaze, Lu Yi simply shook his head slightly.
The specific reasons have not yet been communicated.
I only received preliminary notification, asking me to prepare for the meeting tonight.
"it is good."
Li Xiaming scratched his head and had no choice but to ask his math teacher for leave that evening.
……
……
Four hours later.
Li Xiaming followed Lu Yi to the meeting room of the current shelter.
The large screen here was already lit up, and the signal equipment was operating silently in the corner, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.
Nowadays, meetings can only be held online.
After all, since the current version of Earth's ice age apocalypse, after two sharp drops in temperature, the average surface temperature has fallen to minus seventy or eighty degrees Celsius.
After nightfall, the temperature is likely to drop below 100 degrees Celsius.
Under these circumstances, it would be impossible to travel a long distance to the headquarters for an on-site meeting.
The fact that the signal has remained stable enough to allow for online meetings is thanks to the excellent infrastructure of the University of Tokyo.
Even in this frigid inferno, the fiber optic cables and reinforced base stations buried deep underground still manage to maintain the operation of the national signal network.
Soon, as the meeting was about to begin, hundreds of familiar faces appeared on the large screen in front of Li Xiaming.
Li Xiaming had met most of the experts and department heads attending the meeting, including Fang Huaiyuan and Academician Qin, in previous meetings.
But there were many more people at this meeting whom Li Xiaming had never met before.
Among them were Western scholars with blond hair and blue eyes.
There were also faces with Central Asian or Eastern European features.
Each video window is clearly labeled with its respective field of expertise: Engineering, Energy, Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics, etc.
Among them were several people whom Li Xiaming even recognized as Nobel Prize laureates in Physics from a certain year!
Obviously, this was all happening without the knowledge of Li Xiaming and countless other students at Dongda University.
In addition to preparing the Candle Dragon Project to stabilize the entire nation, Tokyo University has also attracted a large number of top talents from all over the world, incorporating them into the strategy of human civilization to resist the end of the world.
"Comrades, and some new friends who have joined our team, the current Survival Committee meeting is now beginning."
Fang Huaiyuan's steady voice rang out.
"Over the past two months, we have successfully completed all the preparations for the battle before the Earth Apocalypse update, as well as all the plans after the update."
"At present, our hundreds of millions of compatriots at Southeast University have successfully survived these three years of the Ice Age."
This is all thanks to the comrades present, as well as the efforts of countless workers and grassroots comrades across the country.
Fang Huaiyuan summarized his previous work. This satisfactory evaluation should have made him feel excited and happy, but his expression was extremely solemn.
"But everyone, we at Tokyo University, and indeed humanity, cannot declare victory at this moment, because we are currently only in the Earth's doomsday version 1.00."
This most likely means that in three years, humanity will face another doomsday!
We were fortunate to receive inspiration from Comrade Li Xiaming regarding this glacial apocalypse, which allowed us to prepare in advance and minimize our losses.
But we have absolutely no idea about the next version! In fact, based on the normal pattern of version iterations, we might very well face an even more severe apocalyptic version in the future!
"The purpose of this meeting is... to assign tasks to everyone, formulate plans, and prepare for the impact of the new apocalyptic scenario three years from now!"
