Chapter 166: Periodic Disasters
Lu Yiming paused, stretched out his first finger and said, "The first is that this disaster is a one-time disaster, and it will be over if it has passed." Earthquakes, flash floods, etc., are just one-off disasters. ”
"Take, for example, the sudden rise in temperatures around the world, with an average temperature of sixty or seventy degrees Celsius. In this way, nature is able to exterminate the vast majority of living things. ”
"When this disaster is gone, plants are the first to recover before animals, so there are more plants and fewer animals here. There are many small animals and few large animals. ”
"This is of course the most advantageous for us, which means that our entire expedition will not be in too much danger. Afterwards, all of us will be able to live in peace on this continent......"
"But wouldn't that be too optimistic?" Shi Dayong said: "Your conjecture is the most optimistic situation. ”
"yes, I think that's too optimistic. It's just a possibility. ”
Lu Yiming pointed out another finger and said solemnly: "The second is that we haven't really discovered this disaster yet. For example, it only works on large creatures, not on small creatures, or for some other reason...... It's hard to guess anyway, it's hidden. ”
"And thirdly, it's cyclical! That is, it erupts once in a while, and it happens to be in a calm and safe period at present, and there is no great danger during this safe period, and animals and plants can reproduce normally. ”
"Small animals reproduce quickly, so they can survive, and large animals reproduce slowly, so they become extinct."
Lu Yiming's tone accelerated: "If this is really possible, we must hurry up!" Keep waiting, wait until we know what the disaster really is, it means that it has really erupted!! At that time, we will most likely only have to escape, but don't overestimate our strength, maybe the moment the disaster breaks out, we will suffer heavy losses, causing heavy casualties! ”
"You don't want to die inexplicably, do you?"
The atmosphere fell silent for a while, and everyone was thinking about this possibility.
This decision is difficult to make, and if you make a mistake in judgment, your life can be in danger.
A terrifying catastrophe capable of extincting an intelligent civilization makes the scalp tingle to think about.
What happened to the earthlings was a physical disaster, and the moon suddenly turned into a large water ball, causing the whole world to be flooded, so what about this world?
After a moment of silence, Shi Dayong patted the table and said, "If there is another disaster, we can continue to hide in the Yang River, and then come out after the disaster is over?" ”
Lu Yiming smiled bitterly: "Don't you imagine it so beautiful...... Not every supernatural catastrophe that erupts in every world is like ours, where a little rain and a flood are all it takes. As recorded in the notebook I picked up, the disaster that broke out in them was like a ghost......"
"Do you think it's really safe to escape to Yanghe? Maybe you'll have to flee 108,000 miles to be safe! ”
"How many pieces can our Yunhai escape, how much loss will it have at that time?"
"And, even if you can escape, do you know how long the disaster will last? It may take several years for the disaster to erupt before there will be such a few days of lull. Can we afford to wait that long? The correct solution is to obtain the information of wisdom and civilization as soon as possible. ”
"By the way, everyone...... I noticed a very strange phenomenon! ”
A technician clapped his hands and suddenly said, "I found that the trees here reproduce very quickly, and most of them are new, and there are fewer older trees." So I think...... It is likely that the supernatural disasters here are really cyclical! ”
"As for the density of marine aquatic life, it's so-so, just a little bit lower than the normal world, so it's probably safer to stay in the water."
"Therefore, the safety level of our destroyer should be relatively high."
After hearing this, everyone discussed it for a while and decided to ...... Wait another afternoon!
As long as the rats in these experiments don't happen this afternoon and evening, then tomorrow, the expedition will officially set off to the ruins of intelligent life!
It doesn't make much sense to continue waiting, so it's better to leave early.
After the last half day of waiting, naturally nothing happened, and all 5 mice were alive and well.
The food is too good, there are few natural enemies, and they are full of energy, fat and strong, and it seems that it is the season of mating. These rats seem to have nothing to do other than play a mating game.
"Still haven't found any problems?"
After the last meeting, it was decided that they would refresh themselves in the evening and leave at six o'clock the morrow morning.
"We were divided into two teams, one team collecting animal and plant specimens in the forest. According to current observations, this forest near the coastline is relatively safe. If there is no problem, the cutting brigade in the rear will come to cut down trees and dig mud. ”
"The second team, head to the Wisdom Site, the closest point to the coastline is about 80 kilometers, and they will be reached along the river. We will go straight by helicopter. Then in the ruins, explore for a day. ”
"We don't spend the night on the mainland, we take a helicopter back to the destroyer, which guarantees enough security. No problem, right? ”
The whole plan is also very simple, there are no detours.
The rest of the people said in unison: "No problem! ”
That night, the last night before departure, Lu Yiming lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.
The pressure in the heart naturally exists, and in a strange land, it is almost certain that there may be a catastrophe here that can easily kill people, how can there be no pressure?
In fact, everyone is a little irritated in their hearts, if the disaster is really cyclical, and such a long safety period is wasted for no reason, which makes this operation more risky. But there is really no way about this matter, and they are not from God's point of view, nor are they omniscient and omnipotent, and they do not spend time to observe carefully, how can they analyze the current conclusions?
"It's better to be cautious, you have to find a way to keep a little back."
He simply split a thought, attached himself to his mobile phone, and entered the information space.
"Hit the streets...... Hey, hey, hey, hippos! Hippopotamus! It's a street! ”
The crazy Red Mama is now madly in love with Hong Kong films, she can't learn Mandarin well, and she is there all day long, "hitting the streets", which made Lu Yiming immediately explode when he heard this voice.
He looked serious like a bitter gourd, and on the eve of the expedition, the phrase "hitting the street" was too unlucky......
