Just as Lv Bai said, he had taken the Hermit Elevator, making a round trip before.
Although the elevator ascends and descends quickly, and the internal space isn't particularly cramped.
But it all depends on what it's compared to.
Indeed, without considering safety risks, the Hermit Elevator can fit over a hundred people at once.
But when the population needing relocation reaches as much as one billion, the gap is too wide.
A rough calculation will show.
Each trip can carry a hundred people; a round trip, plus the time to get people into the elevator, consumes ten minutes—this wouldn't be excessive, it might even be considered fast.
So, how long will it take to relocate the residents of the Underground City to the surface?
The answer is nearly seven thousand days, which amounts to about twenty years to transport one billion people.
Moreover, the number of people who need to return to the surface isn't just one billion.
"Isn't there another means of transportation?"
