Chapter 996: First and Last
Chapter 996 - First and last
The monitoring network of artificial intelligence AI covers every corner of "Atlanta", and the health bracelets on everyone's wrist have a positioning function. Wherever AI reaches, "Adam" will have the highest authority.
Therefore, every move of the City Management Committee was in Chen Fei's sight from beginning to end. However, when the impeachment proposal was passed for the first time, he ignored it.
The donkey is killed after it has done its job, and the bridge is destroyed after it has crossed the river. Even Chen Fei, a fool who is not good at conspiracy and intrigue, understands that this is the normal state of life.
But this group of naive guys can only see a small piece of heaven and earth in front of them, and are completely unaware of the great horror of this planet.
The ancestral land of "Sagali" is not heaven, but hell!
Having fun in hell...haha!
The "sky curtain" light-transmitting sheet has three layers of magic arrays embedded in it. The outermost layer is the "air membrane (1)" magic array, which blocks rain and snow. The middle layer is the "overall reinforcement (1)" magic array. The innermost layer is the "mental power disruption (1)" magic array. The entire "sky curtain" structure is covered with "mental power isolation (2)" magic arrays and "mental power black hole (2)" magic arrays, forming a fully enclosed barrier specifically for mental power intrusion.
These spell arrays that can block out the mental prying of the outside world are the result of all the psychic ability users of the "Wall of Sighs" working together to block the entire central building and the S-level space ability user Heseman Brown using his supernatural powers to "isolate" one of the entire floors for a whole week.
Chen Fei personally guarded the Central Building and never left it all day long. Hundreds of reconnaissance drones patrolled the sky day and night, with all kinds of detection modules running at full power, monitoring the sky and the earth within a radius of 100 kilometers.
Through temporary questionnaires, we screened out talented people and brought together those who had studied spell arrays and alchemy. We opened up alchemy and spell array information from the Slan Dynasty to them, and assisted them with the spell array deduction model of the artificial intelligence AI "Adam". Even if they were just getting started or even just interested in it, they would still gain something in a short period of time.
Argumentation, copying, and adjustments were not too difficult, and the final product was more than enough to meet Chen Fei's requirements.
After all, what is required is not much, just two or three low-level spell arrays are enough, and there is no need for these enthusiasts who are not even formal alchemists to create completely new or more powerful works.
The SEG core unit not only provides the electricity needed for the lighting on the "sky curtain" structure, but also supports part of the energy for a large number of spell arrays by converting it into crystal energy.
Unless that god-like being appears at close range, the magic array covering the "sky curtain" is enough to block the opponent's "sight" through the medium of mental power. When the magic array barrier is officially opened, "Atlan" is no longer one-way transparent in terms of intelligence.
From then on, Chen Xiaoer, who had been worried for a whole week, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Dry ice blizzard?
This is nothing but a threat!
What Chen Fei was most worried about was never this. The "Sky Curtain" had a more important task.
If that divine species can still spy on any movement within the "sky", he will probably have no choice but to accept his fate.
After all, there are no professional high-level alchemists, and there is a lack of precious and rare alchemical materials. Getting to this point is already the best effort we can do, and we can't do any more.
In Chen Fei's eyes, the impeachment brought about by those former military leaders of the City Management Committee was a complete joke.
The huge "sky curtain" provides a real place for more than 17,000 humans to settle down on this unknown planet.
To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the internal situation. Now the internal situation is stable.
Chen Fei finally had the energy to focus his attention on the god-like "Sagali" McNeese again. The other party was the real concern for him and others.
If necessary, Chen Fei would even hold the elemental annihilation bomb and die together with the opponent. It is really a good deal to exchange a B-level mutant for a divine seed.
It is no longer possible to see the starlight, which was not very dazzling to begin with, in the sky outside the "sky curtain". Thick clouds block out the sun, covering the sky at the equator and the North and South Poles, creating an eternal night without sunlight.
The scattered dry ice flakes quickly turned into crackling dry ice particles after they fell. After penetrating the weak resistance of the "Air Membrane (1)" magic array, they landed on the surface of the silicon carbide translucent sheet, making a dense rustling sound. However, they were hard and brittle, and bounced back, rolling down along the arc.
The basin where "Atlan" is located happens to be located on the top of a hill, which is equivalent to digging a hole in a highland. The dry ice particles that cannot accumulate on the outside of the "sky" will continue their rolling journey all the way to the foot of the mountain.
At least in the short term, there is no need to worry about the endless dry ice snow flooding the entire "sky curtain" along with the city and basin inside.
The temperature outside has dropped to minus 110 degrees Celsius. Not to mention the water turning into ice, if there is no thick warming measures, it only takes more than ten seconds of hypothermia to freeze a living person stiff.
The impeachment resolution of the Atlanta City Management Committee proceeded as scheduled.
"'Rookie', I'm very sorry to inform you..."
"Impeachment, right? I know. If there's nothing else, you can leave."
Chen Fei interrupted Deputy Mayor Huang Xiulun's formal announcement. His attention was on the last batch of data brought back by the fleet of reconnaissance drones that had to return due to the severe cold.
Artificial intelligence AI "Adam" cannot accurately screen suspicious areas, so it can only rely on manual analysis and check every inch of the land. As long as it is a living thing, there will be signs of activity.
Huang Xiulun was startled, guessing that maybe the First Sovereign Committee members informed Chen Fei, so he was not too surprised. He continued, "Next, all members will vote to decide whether you will continue to serve as mayor."
“I will establish satellite cities and propose that those who disagree with me move to the satellite cities, and it will still be a vote by all citizens.”
Faced with the impending overwhelming opposition, Chen Fei doesn't mind going his separate ways.
The "sky curtain" of "Atlan" is functioning normally, which means that this closed urban structure technology can be replicated to open up suitable human settlements in the harsh environment of this unknown planet.
"Move to a satellite city? Vote? What?"
Huang Xiulun was shocked by this sudden remark.
What exactly does this mean.
Chen Feixin thought of two things and said lightly: "Divest the bad assets. Since you don't like me, just leave on your own."
On second thought, the satellite city is a good choice. At least we don't have to see the "rookie" who likes to give blind orders anymore. Huang Xiulun said righteously: "No, you should leave!"
"The minority obeys the majority, everyone votes!"
Chen Fei smiled calmly, and said, "If you like democracy so much, then let's practice democracy."
Although the population base of the First Sovereignty ranks second on Blue Star, its proportion of personnel in the "Wall of Sighs" operation force ranks first. Coupled with a group of younger brothers, if all members vote, it is still unknown who will win.
Once we reach the satellite cities, we can enjoy democracy freely. Isn’t that great?
The impeachment resolution was passed mainly because the circles of Europe and the American Federation joined forces to take the initiative. The fence-sitters in Africa habitually followed the crowd, and when the First Sovereignty group reacted, it was too late to stop it.
The "sky curtain" light-transmitting sheets are still being produced. The high-quality ones are used to block the sky, and the low-quality ones are used to directly block the ground. The satellite city has already selected a location, about 15 kilometers away from the hill where "Atlan" is located. It is also a highland with an area of about one-third of the "Atlan" basin. There is no sea water inside, and even if there is, it is fresh water. It is a purely land structure.
The connection between "Atlanta" and satellite cities is mainly based on closed roads and railways. The routes have been explored and planned, and elevated designs are indispensable.
As soon as the "skylight" of "Atlanta" was completed, the robotic engineering team in charge of the construction immediately began the construction project of closing the traffic.
Even though there was a terrible dry ice blizzard outside, it did not have much impact on the construction. Robots did not need oxygen and could tolerate ultra-low temperature environments much better than humans. S-class psychic Herseman Brown used the psychic skill "isolation" to connect the construction site directly to the site of the satellite city. The effect was equivalent to a "sky curtain", allowing not only humans to work in it, but also robots and various engineering machinery.
Although the effect of the supernatural skill "isolation" is similar to that of the "sky curtain" or even better, supernatural skills can never be compared with the existence of physical reality. At least the "sky curtain" can still exchange light and air with the outside world, and it will not become a mass grave for more than 10,000 people of the "Wall of Sighs" operation force due to unexpected circumstances.
"You can't do that! You can't do that!"
Who could have thought that Chen Fei could actually use his own method to return the favor? Huang Xiulun, who had originally been thinking of doing something good, suddenly became at a loss and lost his composure.
"Before the impeachment officially takes effect, I am the mayor and the king here. I have this power. You can be dissatisfied with me, but you must do your best to maintain my authority, otherwise..." Chen Fei looked at the deputy mayor who lacked experience in struggle but was quite competent, and shook his index finger and said, "...otherwise it will be regarded as treason."
The laws of every sovereign state on the Blue Planet are not applicable to the present-day "Atlanta". The rules currently followed are nothing more than the conventions of all people. It has been a centralized management (dictatorship) from the beginning, so there is no place for small and vile things to survive.
Once it is determined to be treason, no matter what the punishment is, it is not excessive. With justice in hand, one can really do whatever he wants.
"'Adam', announce a full-member voting project. Those with different opinions can settle in the satellite city. It is expected to be completed within a month."
In front of Huang Xiulun, Chen Fei took the initiative and issued a vote for all employees. Birds of a feather flock together, and those who don't fit in should be separated. To some extent, this is better than a massacre-style purge.
The main reason is that they are facing a powerful enemy, and the positions of the more than 10,000 people in "Atlan" are not absolute.
Today's opponents are also comrades on the same front, so Chen Fei does not want to waste his own precious combat power in vain.
I spent 30 yuan to downgrade the system of an iPad, and it is smooth again, but unfortunately there are fewer usable apps. But you get what you pay for, it is still worth it.
