Chapter 14 The Ark Isn't the Only Choice
Fang Senyan looked thoughtfully at Professor Charles's eyes and said seriously:
"Please forgive me, Professor, but I don't believe that a car accident was the cause of your friend's death."
Professor Charles was taken aback.
"What do you mean?"
Fang Senyan said lightly:
"That is, the terrifying power of forty-six countries plus three thousand seven hundred and ninety-six super-rich people around the world combined... To create an accident to crush a person to death is ten times easier than crushing a bug."
Charles's eyebrows suddenly shot up, and he said grimly:
"Why?"
Fang Senyan said lightly:
"Under normal circumstances, the motive for this terrifying force to silence someone is to prevent the news of the end of the world from spreading and causing huge panic, interfering with their plan to build Noah's Ark. I have a list of the second batch of targets, most of whom are trying to announce this news in public. Now my companions are trying to save them and keep them in a safe place."
"Secondly, the construction of Noah's Ark requires a large number of rare elements or materials. Mr. Charles, since your friend is tirelessly trying to save himself, then it is likely that he has hoarded some important materials but is unwilling to give them up. This is unforgivable for the Noah's Ark plan that is racing against time. May I know your friend's name?"
"Zewelia Bolton," Charles said.
Although the name was unfamiliar, Fang Senyan immediately called to inquire. He found that he was very famous in the scientific community, not only a Nobel Prize winner in 2008, but also very prestigious. If such a person started preparing for the end of the world in advance, then it should not be aimless.
Fang Senyan said immediately:
"Since Mr. Bolton invited you, it proves that he also invited other people. I still say the same thing, if you want to fight against the majesty and anger of the earth, one person's power is far from enough. I believe that before Mr. Bolton's death, he had formed a powerful team to challenge fate! Their research may be very helpful to us. Besides, Mr. Charles, don't you want to find out the real cause of your friend's death?"
Obviously, Charles was persuaded by Fang Senyan. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.
"Let's go."
Charles's driver was also a mutant, proud of his strength, and he had a good relationship with Bobby, so he deliberately put extra strength into the handshake with Fang Senyan. He didn't expect Fang Senyan to accept it with a smile as if nothing had happened, and squeezed back before separating, and suddenly the driver Hanks's face turned pale! He immediately bared his teeth and shook his hand without concealment.
Fang Senyan sighed in his heart. Such strength is far from enough. Destruction is always much more difficult than construction. The second generation of the X-Men has hardly grown up yet. Professor Charles is a mind attacker, but unfortunately, all contractors have natural mental barriers. The power of the mutant driver in front of him is at most similar to a Colonial Hunter. His mission is still long and arduous.
Charles's face was gloomy at this time, with a statue-like indifference. He remembered the few strangers who had been wandering around at his old friend's funeral this morning without any grief. Their eyes were clearly wary and vicious!
At the thought of this, Charles couldn't wait to get to Bolton's former residence immediately, but he didn't urge Hanks, because this driver who had been with him for twenty-five years must know his intentions.
Far away, through the Phaeton car's clean windshield, the street sign of 156th Street could be seen. Hanks skillfully slowed down slightly, turned on the turn signal, and then turned. The red-roofed villa in front was Mr. Bolton's home. Mr. Charles liked to chat with his old friend on the very neat lawn, while enjoying the afternoon sun and the small cookies baked by Mrs. Bolton herself.
Unfortunately, the lawn was being trampled on extremely rudely at this time. A group of men in black suits were standing on the lawn. Mrs. Bolton was crying loudly under their hijacking. All the furniture and other things in the house were moved out, and even the wooden floor was pried open and not let go.
Of course, these men seemed to be professional at searching, but they knew nothing about moving and placing things, so the whole family looked a mess. Because of the presence of police cars and police tape, there were very few onlookers.
Charles closed his eyes, his face seemed calm, but Jean knew that the old man was angry. This was definitely not aimless, and it could be felt from the fact that Professor Charles's fingers holding the wheelchair handle were white!
Hanks skillfully stepped on the brakes, pulled the handbrake, and then the first thing he did was naturally to open the car door, but a series of strange clicking sounds came from behind. Fang Senyan saw that Charles's wheelchair was actually transforming rapidly!
Yes, that's right,
Transforming!
The wheelchair kept folding, splicing, and then assembling skillfully, and finally quickly and clearly formed a unique exoskeleton on Charles's legs like a sneaker frame, which actually made Charles, who was originally paralyzed, stand up all of a sudden, and walked towards the house with a clicking sound.
Charles's face was calm, but Fang Senyan felt that something was wrong, strongly wrong! It was as if his thinking was being disturbed and began to slow down.
More importantly, wherever Charles went, the people around him seemed to be frozen in time, staying in place, with the common expression of opening their mouths wide and their faces distorted, like wax figures.
"Well, this ability is?" Fang Senyan frowned: "Memory enslavement? It seems that the old man is indeed angry."
These police and FBI officers who were stiffly standing in place didn't recover until ten minutes later. Their memories at this time stayed in the situation when they had just arrived here. Naturally, they couldn't remember anything that happened next. What was even more terrifying was that a severe headache quickly and frantically attacked them. As a punishment, while Charles was depriving them of a period of memory, he directly killed the brain cells that carried these memories!
Well, that is to say, these unlucky guys will suffer from trigeminal neuralgia-like torture in their remaining lives, and the treatment will be ineffective.
This is the price of bearing Charles's anger.
After resettling the Bolton family,
Dr. Charles finally frowned and said to Fang Senyan:
"They did form such an organization, and the research has already entered the experimental stage, but because of Bolton's arrest and economic tension, the organization is on the verge of disbanding. More importantly, they can be said to be without a leader, and no one can fill Bolton's leadership position."
Fang Senyan smiled and said:
"Money should not be a problem. My vampire allies are very wealthy. More importantly, Professor, as long as our plan is sure to succeed, the government can collect ten billion euros in boarding fees, and we can collect twenty billion! As for the leader, let me think about it, there must be a way."
Professor Bolton's research data was stored on a USB flash drive. Facing the strong arrival of the end of the world, first of all, the terrifying earthquake doomed underground nuclear shelters and the like to become tombs, and secondly, most scientists chose the ark mode.
Unfortunately, Professor Bolton and his team obviously couldn't build an ark by simply copying it, but the ark was definitely not the only choice. Therefore, their final plan was an airship!
A huge airship!
From the theoretical design, it can be seen that the airship will directly ascend to an altitude of 15,000 to 20,000 meters above the ground. In this way, entering the stratosphere can perfectly avoid phenomena such as lightning, hail, and heavy rain in the troposphere.
The airship does not emphasize speed, but focuses on load capacity, firmness, and stability. If the design is successful, then the biggest enemy that the airship will face is strong wind. Therefore, the requirements for the engine and fuel of the airship are not high, so under this design concept, the load capacity of an airship can reach 800 tons!
The number of people transported can reach 5,000. This is calculated based on the average weight of a normal adult being 60 kilograms. The weight of 5,000 people is 300 tons. If the quality of life is reduced, the limit can even reach the standard of transporting 10,000 people.
Because the airship's ascent altitude is quite amazing, even volcanic ash can only stay in the stratosphere, so solar cells can be used as a stable energy supply. As for water, once it is used up, it can descend to the troposphere to collect it. The design concept proposes that two to three airships can be specially built as freshwater and food supply platforms, and the airship will not have any worries about collisions and crashes.
People on the airship may live a life of controlled food and freshwater, and the average living area can only be compared with that of prisoners, but it can be estimated that the duration of the end of the world is only about a month. But even enduring a month of prison life is stronger than death.
Without a doubt, Fang Senyan knew the specific situation when the end of the world came. He felt that this plan had a high probability of success! He continued to look down and found that the research team faced three main problems:
First, the problem that the metal skeleton of the airship is not strong enough has not been solved.
Second, the problem that the lifting force is always insufficient.
Third, the problem that the propulsion force of the power system is insufficient.
If these three points are overcome, then the plan can immediately enter the construction stage.
After seeing these three difficulties, Fang Senyan felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart, and felt that the biggest problem had been solved, and he couldn't help laughing happily.
