1058 Science Fiction: Five Years of the Last Days (13)
"In many African countries, tropical crops have been reduced, and large areas of vegetation have died inexplicably in the rainforests around the equator. ”
"Nearly a third of the animals are in a state of extreme agitation, and a few small races have escaped their native habitats. ”
"Thanks to the efforts of local flora and fauna experts and the maintenance of relevant volunteers, efforts are being made to rescue some of the endangered rainforest flora and fauna. ”
"However, the persistently high temperatures have made the entire rainforest a dangerous fire outbreak. ”
According to the latest news from China, 30 percent of the world's largest Mara rainforest group is surrounded by deep forest fires. ”
"It is estimated that at least 1,000 species of plants and animals will die out in this catastrophe. ”
Another turn is like this: "There are large areas of migratory tropical mosquitoes in the subtropical forests of our country. ”
"The new force that carries malaria, Anopheles mosquitoes, is also mixed in. ”
"Cases of malaria have appeared in southern cities in China, and major hospitals have issued orange warning information, asking the public to take measures against mosquitoes and insects, and be careful of the further spread of infectious diseases. ”
"There is a continuous shortage of water in the arid areas of the north, and 20 percent of the crops have not been harvested!"
"China will usher in a year of reduced crops, and it is estimated that the country's crop harvest will be about 40 percent lower than the same period last year. ”
"Famine is going to be the problem we are about to face. ”
In this world of advanced consultations, it is impossible for the government to know that this kind of information is hidden.
They simply opened up and laid out all the problems, so that the people of the entire country could clearly understand what they were going to face.
Then, on top of the official television broadcast, the government's response was publicized and citizens were instructed to follow the corresponding instructions.
Reduce the relative losses of large farming provinces, exhort urban citizens to return to their hometowns appropriately, and reduce the supply pressure in some cities.
In the most primitive way...... Responding to this global crisis.
It is unreasonable to say that this climate crisis will set back the global human development to the hard years of men and women weaving nearly 100 years ago.
But in the same way, only this way of life can allow human beings to lose a certain large base while still surviving tenaciously, at least not to die fragile like other species.
"Click"
Gu Zheng pressed the remote control in his hand, rubbed his brow, which was a little sour because he was always wrinkled, and was just about to get up and go to see what could be prepared, Gu Lao Niang pushed the door in with a 'bang', and shouted loudly as if the sky had fallen.
"Son, it's broken, the crops in the field are no longer pumping!"
"The weather is so abnormal, the grain that has been planted is wilting, and no matter how much water is used. ”
"And the crops that have just been planted are all dried in the ground, and if you water them a little more, they will rot. ”
Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it is wilting and lacking in spirit, not to mention the harvest after it grows, can it grow into a ...... I have to say two more things.
For farmers who rely on the harvest to eat, this phenomenon is equivalent to a big event like the sky falling.
But Gu Zheng, who was standing in the hall of the big house, moved the stool on the side to Gu Lao Niang, motioned for the other party to sit down, and calmly listened to his next words.
"Mother, things have to be two-sided. ”
"Let me ask you, after the temperature has been rising for nearly a decade, is the price of food also doubling?"
"How much is a pound of rice on the market now?"
"Six bucks. ”
"Yes, it's gone up fivefold. ”
"Then let me ask you again, what is the most expensive thing to sell now, besides grain?"
"Of course it's drinking water!"
Seeing Gu Lao Niang's expression, Gu Zheng couldn't hold back his smile, pointed to the water stored by him in his courtyard that was quite intact, and could support several months even if it didn't rain, and continued: "Mother, you should be glad that we have an old well at home. ”
"South Zhuangzi is a rainy area. ”
"Even if these two points can't be supported in the end, the northern subrivers are all dry, aren't we still relying on the sea here?"
"I have already inquired about this civil seawater distillation equipment, and if the whole village makes a collective effort, I am afraid that just relying on the sea will allow us to live. ”
"Those distilled water for long-term drinking is a disadvantage of trace elements, and it is not good for the body, but we will not lack it in bathing, washing dishes, irrigation and daily water. ”
"No matter how bad it is, I still keep storing mineral water at home, don't worry, mother. ”
"As for the grain you are talking about, it's not because you didn't get money after the production was reduced? But think about it, you can sell the grain back then?"
Gu Lao Niang was said by Gu Zheng, and after thinking about it carefully, this is really the truth.
As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there are still tall people, and now compared with those people in the city, they have become the group that eats and drinks without worrying.
After thinking of this, Gu Lao Niang still stood up from the stool with a swish, and began to walk towards the gate of the courtyard with this big straw hat.
Seeing Gu Zheng here, he was very puzzled, and hurriedly said, "Mother, what are you doing out in this big sun?"
"You don't understand!" Gu Lao Niang's feet didn't stop, how could Gu Zheng understand about this crop, the ewes in their backyard, she had to drag them back and continue to serve, but she couldn't kill them all and send them to the Huangxian Lamb Transfer Station like other families did in order to stock up on supplies for some money.
Yes, this piece of news makes Nanzhuangzi, a sheep breeding and distribution center, panick.
They sent all the sheep that were not out of the pen to the purchase point.
In order to make these meat sheep who spend energy and food into cash in their hands, and then use this cash to add some confidence to the family.
As for the big biao who is busy with the soles of his feet spinning because of this phenomenon, he is painful and happy...... In the tailor shop that belonged to Gu Zheng, he struggled to pull the sheep and said.
This Gu Zheng's shop is too timely, but if the business is popular because of this, he would rather do the mutton business quietly and ordinarily as before, so that his life can return to the original track.
Da Biaozi, who sighed, knew that after this peak period, I was afraid that his family's business would plummet.
In the future, if it continues like now, it will be good to be able to eat, let alone mutton.
The people of Nanzhuangzi Village are staging their troubles, but the capital city, the central city of the entire country, is about to usher in the biggest crisis storm.
Because of the multiple news crushing, the government has repeatedly sent out the news that the country's food reserves are sufficient, but it still can't stop the enthusiasm of citizens to hoard supplies.
Supermarkets, grain and oil wholesale centers, farmers' markets, and planting areas in the suburbs can be seen driving to ...... The posture of the citizens who are crazy about buying big bags and small bags.
This was followed by a silent rise in the prices of basic goods.
When everyone found that the normal price of rice, flour, grain and oil had risen to a point they could not imagine, the shelves of Meilian Supermarket, the largest supermarket chain in the capital city, were no longer as full of goods as before.
Walking to the fresh area, there are only two or three dishes that can be provided in time, such as potatoes, cabbage and radishes, which are cheap vegetables that survive for a short time, and now they are also hanging in the center of the vegetable basket.
As for fruits and meat, which are more difficult to store and transport, the fresh fruits picked that day are basically not seen in supermarkets.
The rows of frozen meat were dragged out of the freezer and put on the bright side to save face.
As for the live river crabs and shrimps, you can still see them vaguely.
But this kind of thing is not easy to store food, and many housewives shake their heads when they pass by these windows and look at the outrageous prices above...... Continue to search the corners and loot for everything you need at home.
Even the number of people who consume in the catering, entertainment and related facilities related to these is also decreasing exponentially.
In the restaurant street that was once famous in the entire capital, except for a few powerful century-old restaurants that are still supporting, the other small restaurants have all closed their doors without exception.
Many foreigners who live in this city and are busy eating for everyone, after seeing no hope of making money, have shouldered their few luggage and embarked on the tide of returning to their hometown.
And those migrant workers who don't earn much and play the role of the lowest cornerstone in the urban workplace have also put down their jobs that they once refused to leave behind, packed their bags, and planned to return to their hometown city to see if the pressure of life there is not as cruel as here.
The rail transit to all sides is facing more terrifying transportation pressure than the Spring Festival, and the residents living in the capital city feel more empty and inconvenient than during the Spring Festival.
The perennial shop downstairs is closed, and the breakfast shop that is often eaten on the way to work closes down instantly.
No one responded to the Dada taxi, which was always available during peak hours, and in the end, even the security guards at the entrance of the community and the security check in the subway station were gone.
Corresponding to all this, the temperature has risen by two degrees, putting the whole city above the cordon of heat warning.
46 degrees.
It is a temperature that cannot live and work normally.
This temperature was accompanied by a quarter of rain in a row.
For the first time, the capital city is facing a crisis of water shortage.
'Doodoo ......'
This is the fifth call broadcast by Gu Feifei, and the busy voice over there told him that he was afraid that his number had been blacklisted by the other party.
At this time, his school was ...... It has fallen into a state of total stagnation.
