Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The terror in the dark did not show itself at least for the first half a year The days went by so peacefully that people had started to forget about the initial fear

The Noah One was still lodged underground In fact, hope for the Noah One to becoain was practically nil At most it could only becoh the Noah One could no longer lift aboveground, hue naturally couldn't be limited within the confines of the Noah One As time passed, people felt trapped within the claustrophobic round tunnels Therefore, so far, the range of human activities had expanded to several thousand kilometers around the Noah One

However, for soher officials barred people froround All forms of exploration could only be done on the surface This had created so the scientists, but the surface had plenty of research opportunities as well In coht be safety concerns if they ventured deeper underground, so they didn't really challenge the ban

On the other hand, with the finished construction of a defense structure 3 kilometres around the Noah One, the safety zones had to be redrawn The ireen zone, 3 kilometres around the Noah One and within the defense structure was a light green zone, the area froht red zone, 10 kilometres to 50 kilometres was a red zone, and beyond 50 kilometres was a black zone Other than that, everywhere on the surface was considered a red zone

"…This area is perfect From the explored map, this place is most suitable to build a base First, this place is close to the river, it is on flat, fertile ground, and there is an open coal mine 30 kilometres north-west of the area Secondly, upstream from the river is a rich deposit of iron It will provide the resources we need for base building"

Many people had gathered in the Noah One'sroom They included the military officials, technicians, and scientists They were discussing so that had been discussed for al humankind's first base on this planet

Most of the Noah One's supplies had disappeared during the warp Over the past half year, the Noah One had foundfive anii Thankfully, this planet's nature wasn't ruined, so with high tech harvesting technology, like hovercrafts, that allowed people to harvest over an area of several thousand kiloes anys to worry about For exay level,nuclear reactors to get their energy, so when the uranium that was used as fuel was exhausted, the Noah One would lose its lighting, temperature maintenance, air purifier, and y supply ran out would be the day humanity dies

Therefore, base construction was inevitable, and it would be better for it to be around the coal enerator to replace the function of the Noah One's nuclear reactor, and the reency use

However, the construction details had caused a split, and the biggest argument was about the location and the purpose of this base

One party felt that the base should be built directly over the coalenerator and y base In other words, the base would becoy and metallic materials production plant, an industrial city that spared none of the pristine environht the new base should be on a flood plain that was 30 kiloenerator could be built on the mine, but the base had to be further away The base would be a residential city andthe spaceship with only maintenance workers

This was the difference in opinion One side thought the base should be an industrial site, while the other thought it should be a residential city Each had their own arguments The industrial party said that the planet still had ers, especially under the circus still couldn't breathe the air directly, so they shouldn't let the citizens out of the Noah One, because it aued that the living conditions underground were not palatable and they should fulfil the citizens' wishes to interact with nature This was especially true for children, as it was not good for their developround

In couood to interact with nature, but if the interaction involved life-threatening danger, thenlike that The industrial party's plan was more safe and acceptable

However, for some reason, the military officials leaned towards the residential area base compared to the safer industrial base It also due to the officers' leaning and intervention that the industrial base that had more public support was at a similar level as the residential base idea

Until now, both sides were still arguing and proposing their own ideas The discussion could not be allowed to drag on anymore, so finally, the military decided to step in to introduce a compromise, which was an industrial-residential base
