Chapter 254: Vicissitudes of Life (Part II)

When the waiter served the food, Chu Tianjiang quickly thought about it.

"Lao Zhang, why didn't you see Mr. Yang and Lao Yuan?" Waiting for the waiter to deliver the last dish and leave the room, Chu Tianjiang asked.

"Mr. Yang has gone to the Qinglong Strategic Command Center, and Lao Yuan has returned to Beijing to take charge of the aftermath, and I have already told them about your return. Mr. Yang told you to have a good rest, and he rushed back after he was done over there. The situation on Lao Yuan's side is a bit complicated, and I'm afraid it will have to be delayed for a while. ”

"Are they all right?"

"It's all good, nothing to worry about." Zhang Xiaogang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Old Chu, there are two things I have to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Xiaogang wanted to say it, but he seemed very hesitant.

Luo Jinyong sighed and said, "Let's talk about me first." After you left, we were taken by the invaders, and we were all taken prisoner. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded, Maya had already said this.

"The invaders have transformed all of us, so I have the same abilities as Melanie, and everyone else has them."

"So, no one can hide their secrets?"

"Not really." Luo Jinyong sighed and said, "Although after the transformation, we can already communicate on the spiritual level through telepathy, but the transformation is not thorough, or our body structure is not suitable for comprehensive spiritual communication, and we can only exchange certain information, that is, the information we are willing to exchange." In other words, the main significance of this transformation is to improve the efficiency of communication, not to change the mode of communication, let alone to change the relationship between people by changing the mode of communication, and the impact on the social structure is not very large. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "This is not necessarily a bad thing. Showing all the secrets of your heart to others without missing anything at once is like being forced to run naked on the street, which will definitely be unacceptable to many people, and will definitely cause serious social problems. ”

"You're right, it's just not about what I'm trying to say."

"Oh?"

"What I want to say is......" Luo Jinyong sighed secretly and said, "After these changes, Natasha and I had a thorough spiritual exchange, and she decided to stay and help, or rather protect me and Melanie. If she could, she would also like to ......"

"Hope for what?" Seeing that Luo Jinyong was embarrassed to continue, Chu Tianjiang asked.

"I hope to marry me, like Melanie."

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "So, the marriage law has been abolished, and now a man is allowed to marry several wives?" ”

Luo Jinyong didn't speak, his expression was extremely embarrassed.

"Not yet, but it should be soon." Zhang Xiaogang coughed dryly twice and said, "The global spread of the DNA virus, coupled with this war, has changed the global demographic structure a lot. Although my country has been the least affected, it is still very bad. According to statistics obtained yesterday, the population of our country is already less than 600 million, and there is a serious imbalance between men and women, with men accounting for less than 40 per cent. ”

"Aren't we unaffected by the DNA virus?"

"Lao Chu, that was more than forty days ago." Zhang Xiaogang sighed and said, "Although the diffusion devices that Williams secretly deployed to our country have been removed, the virus has spread in the surrounding areas of our country, and all of our neighboring countries, including the countries across the sea, are the hardest hit areas. Less than a week after you left, the virus spread across our borders. Northeast China, Shandong Peninsula, eastern coastal areas, Yunnan and Xinjiang in South China and Southwest China were all hard-hit areas, and the virus then spread to North China, Inner Mongolia and the Central Plains. When we developed antibodies to the DNA virus, only four provinces, Chongqing, Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi, were not affected, and some parts of Tibet, Gansu, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Anhui were not affected, and only 600 million people were vaccinated in a timely manner. ”

"Everyone else has become mutants?"

"Some became mutants, some died, and some were wiped out by the invaders before they mutated." Zhang Xiaogang took out a cigarette and lit it and took two puffs, "Perhaps, there are still some survivors in the affected area, but they must be women, and there will not be too many, and they may not be able to be found in time." ”

"!"

"We're lucky, though, at least compared to other countries. According to rough statistics, China's population now accounts for one-third of the world's total population, and China's male population accounts for more than eighty percent of the world's men. Zhang Xiaogang shook his head with a wry smile, "There are about 30 million people in Russia, and there are only 50 million people in the whole of Europe except Russia, less than 5 million people in Canada, only 10 million people in Australia, and Israel basically doesn't exist, and the remaining population is less than 100,000." The situation is worst in the United States, maybe 50 million people, but not more than 5 million, maybe not even 2 million. ”

"What about other countries?"

"In the surrounding areas of our country, Japan is basically finished, and most of the Japanese who have migrated to our territory are concentrated in Shandong and Jiangsu provinces, and they are all in refugee camps, and even if there are survivors, they must be women. The total remaining population of the two Koreas will not exceed 10 million, and they are predominantly female. The total remaining population of the 10 countries in Southeast Asia is between 20 million and 25 million. The situation in India is extremely bad, with a population that has shrunk from 1.3 billion to less than 300 million, and it is also dominated by women. The situation in Pakistan is slightly better, with a few large cities preserved, and the remaining population should be around 40 million. The situation in the Gulf and the Middle East is not clear, but the remaining population is certainly not too large. Sub-Saharan Africa is the hardest hit region, with fewer than two billion people from about two billion people today. The situation in North Africa is unclear, but it is likely that the remaining population is less than 50 million. In the southern region, except for Brazil, the situation in other countries is very bad, and Brazil also mainly owns the Amazon plain, and the remaining population of the entire South American region is between 100 million and 200 million, while in North American countries except the United States and Canada, the remaining population of Mexico is about 30 million, and the situation in other countries is not very clear, but the total will not exceed 50 million. ”

Chu Tianjiang quickly calculated and said, "So, the global population is about two billion now? ”

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "It's just now. Although no DNA virus was found in the air samples collected in various places, indicating that the invaders had eliminated the DNA virus, the invaders did a more thorough job, not only eliminating all the mutants, but also not sparing the infected, and there were only 300 million men at most among the two billion people. What is even worse is that the foundation of human civilization has been seriously damaged, and industry, agriculture and other production have almost completely stopped. Although the food reserves could theoretically supply two billion people for three years, the distribution of food and population is extremely uneven, for example, about 40 percent of the food in the United States is in the United States, while the population of the United States is only 50 million. Because of the lack of male labor, the lack of modern tools, the lack of transportation and transportation, the food crisis will soon come and will have a global impact. After the food crisis has passed, the remaining population is likely to plummet to less than 1.5 billion. ”

Chu Tianjiang was silent, this was indeed a fatal blow.

If nothing else, in a month and a half, the global population has plummeted from 8 billion to 2 billion, which is enough to collapse human civilization.

"Mr. Yang went to the Qinglong Strategic Command Center to participate in relevant meetings."

"What meeting?"

Zhang Xiaogang lit another cigarette and said: "China's grain storage can last for one year at most, and it will take at least three years for agricultural production to reach the level of self-sufficiency, even if calculated according to the difference, China's grain gap in the next three years will be more than 100 million tons." If the main focus is on the resumption of industrial production, the shortfall will be as high as 200 million tons. ”

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, and he said, "To plunder the grain of other countries? ”

"The United States, to be exact. The United States has the largest grain stocks and a sparse population. Now the whole world knows that the DNA virus was created by the United States, so the United States is responsible for this disaster. The above means that the United States will be occupied and divided together with other member states. ”

"This ......"

"It's just that Mr. Yang feels that there is no need for this, as long as we take timely action, we can capture the United States."

"The Doomsday Warrior system has already started mass production?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said: "In the past two days, the professor and Ding Mingcong have solved several key problems, and the development of X-warriors has also made major breakthroughs. ”

Chu Tianjiang smiled, obviously this was one of the additional products of the invaders' transformation of the human race.

"In addition to that, we have a problem." Zhang Xiaogang paused slightly and said, "What our country needs is not only food, but also population. Unsurprisingly, the government will soon introduce policies to encourage childbearing. According to the current international situation, especially China's situation is far superior to that of other countries, it will inevitably attract a large number of immigrants, so the government may also introduce policies that are conducive to immigrants. ”

"What policy?"

"Acquisition of our nationality through marriage."

"This ......"

"As expected, the marriage law will soon be adjusted. For example, monogamy is still practiced among local citizens, but male citizens can marry more than one foreign woman, and some restrictive clauses may be added, such as stipulating that male citizens must first marry a domestic woman as a wife, or take a domestic woman as a regular wife. In addition, female citizens of our country will be allowed to marry foreign men, but there will be restrictions. All in all, the main purpose of the new marriage law will be to promote fertility and increase the number of people. With this, there will be inheritance law, property law, etc., with the ultimate goal of making our country the core of human civilization. ”

"So, the professor can marry Natasha?"

Zhang Xiaogang nodded and said, "Another thing is related to me and you. ”

"What?" Chu Tianjiang frowned. Noticing the expressions of the others, Chu Tianjiang knew the Dao, and everyone knew about the Dao, and it was very important.

"I have married Xiao Fangfang and adopted Wu Guoxiong."

Everyone stared at Chu Tianjiang, and they were all worried, even a little afraid.

Chu Tianjiang did not erupt, but fell silent. It's just that his silence made the atmosphere more tense and made others more uneasy.
