Chapter 53: The Eve of the Storm (I)
In the year 26 of the New Testament, the snow was unusually heavy. The four-day stretch continued to wrap the red brick and green tile courtyard in a thick layer of silver. Lan Yongxu stood alone in the courtyard, and the thick layer of snow on his body proved that he had been standing here for a long time. The courtyard is as lifeless as this world, which has cooled to the freezing point. At the edge of the courtyard, the security team outside the courtyard of the Central Capital Courtyard has been called to the front line, and in its place, there are five sweepers in thick clothes.
The pressure-sensing device installed on the branches transmits the pressure signal to the "alarm clock" on the workers, and the old and thin sweeper picks up the small broom next to him and begins to clear the snow for each branch in front of the Zhongdu Courtyard.
At the same time, the snowplow also began to start on its own, bypassing Lan Yongxu on its own, opening up a way forward for the visitors who had been waiting for a long time in the wind and snow.
But Lan Yongxu still couldn't stop completely, not because the snow blocked the way, but because the Camon fleet that was encamped outside the galaxy made Lan Yongxu unable to think of any way out for this civilization.
But he still mustered up the courage to report the first bad news of the day: "The 46th batch of material carriers from Gaia has been intercepted." The news told Zhao Yao.
Passing through the huge courtyard, the glass inner door opened automatically, and the big red carpet had been trampled and dirty by the passers-by, and the flags of the various states were covered with a thin layer of dust. It was not yet dawn, but the white snow had already created the illusion of dawn in the spacious room.
Zhao Yao has already lived in the Central Metropolitan Hospital, and the spacious conference hall in the past is now occupied by imaging equipment, computing equipment, and communication equipment. Lying on the table of the communication command platform, the sleeping Zhao Yao was not woken up by Lan Yongxu's arrival. Lan Yongxu picked up the coat that had fallen on the ground and put it on Zhao Yao's back again, but accidentally touched the nutrient solution syringe on the edge of the table.
The sound of glass shattering still woke the FΓΌhrer from his sleep.
"Sorry to wake you up, what time did you go to bed last night?"
"It's okay, what's the bad news?"
"See if it's bad, the 46th fart material transport ship was intercepted."
"Hehe, Carmon is trying to consume us, and a single transportation has never been successful."
"yes, and we really won't be able to last long. I had just carefully observed the snow outside, and this morning the layer that had fallen on it was already slightly green. β
When Yuan Fengying entered the door, she happened to hear Lan Yongxu's judgment about snow. This made her feel that today's plan should be successful, so she came up with the data she had prepared in advance.
"The deterioration of the ecological environment has exceeded our imagination." Yuan Fengying said as she imported data into the three-dimensional display on the left side of the communication station. When Zhao Yao and the others moved to the stereoscopic projection, the real-time monitoring image of the starship that had been played for one night was replaced with the climate monitoring image of the blue domain parent star.
"This is the scene of global snowfall monitoring in the past 10 days, and at this rate. After today, there will be no more snow. β
On top of the stereoscopic projection, a large area of green landed on the west coast of the Celestial and Human Continent, advancing tens of thousands of kilometers eastward every day, and the edge of the green block was already approaching the Central Capital Province.
"Of course, the bad is yet to come." Yuan Fengying called up the air pressure to present the image, and the isobars were presented on the projection. Yuan Fengying rotated the angle of the planet in the projection, presenting the dense high-pressure line at the northernmost point of the Celestial Continent to the three of them.
"This snow is endless. Because, an unprecedented cold air is brewing here. According to the route forecast, this super cold air will start from the northwest tip of the continent, sweep over the entire Tianren continent, and go all the way to the southeast coast. Of course, this is only a prelude to climate deterioration. β
Yuan Fengying adjusted the stereoscopic projection again, and the image shifted from the northwest continent to the southeast sea. Thirteen concentric circles of various sizes appear above the ocean.
"Although the warship has been forbidden to take off and land directly on the home star, the disturbed atmosphere has not yet recovered. The Lingfeng Ocean and the Tidal Flat Ocean water continue to heat up under long-term exposure to sunlight, which is the embryo of 13 typhoons. It is predicted that Typhoons No. 6 and No. 11 will make landfall on the Celestial Continent after swallowing up all the typhoons over the ocean.
Typhoon No. 6 made landfall from the south, and the natural barrier of the Tangling Mountains was divided into mining areas 30 years ago, and completely collapsed due to inability to withstand gravity five years ago.
Typhoon No. 11 will make landfall from the southeast, which itself is a plain. Without vegetation and mountains, the entire Celestial Continent is shaped into a flat residential area, and it is expected that the typhoon will not weaken too soon, and they will converge with the cold air coming from the northwest here. At that time, there will be super convection. β
Yuan Fengying adjusted the projection of the planet again, and in the center of the circle marked by the red circle, it was the flat terrain and dense buildings of the Central Capital Province.
Zhao Yao swallowed his saliva and asked in a hoarse voice, "In other words, 26 years ago, those terrible disasters were coming back again?" β
"yes, there won't be such quiet snow again. Unless, you order a suspension of production. Meteorological disasters are not the most terrible, and if the pollutants of Moya are to re-ravage the world with meteorological disasters, all our efforts for ecological restoration for more than 20 years will ultimately come to naught. β
"It is impossible to suspend production. And don't forget, the array of warships that are on display at our doorstep. With enough tools to fight, we can fight to the death. β
Yongxu was only half right. Chief, you should understand how much effort we have made to stabilize the hearts and minds of the people. Production is sometimes a means, not an end. These people, only when they have something to do, will not be overwhelmed by the fear of the end times. Give them some hope. β
Compared with Lan Yongxu's remarks, Zhao Yao's wording is obviously more acceptable.
"If production is only for people to have something to do, then why not replace industry with hand? And it just so happens that we need a lot of artisanal farming work to restore our ecology, and let's not forget that if the climate continues to deteriorate and Gaia's supply is delayed, we will not be able to produce even the basic injectable sugar naturally. β
"Chief Principle, in my opinion, the entire planet has enough ecological protection, and over the years, the general productive forces have been used to restore the ecology for you. Now that interstellar war is imminent, if the ecological environment is bound to be lost, then let him lose it first. If one day we are lucky enough to really drive out the Kamon people, let's talk about restoring the ecology. β
"Chairman Lan, I advise you to be in awe. The Blue Domain Home Star building cluster has not been upgraded and reinforced for several years, and no one can say whether this building can withstand this meteorological disaster. β
"It doesn't matter, we can restart the climate control system, we have starships to clean the air for us, how people came here 1 century ago, I believe it will last for decades."
After waking up from the "Nuwa's" sleeping cabin, Hua Xiangrong understood what was really a thing and a person. In less than one year, it fell from above 10,000 people to a situation where everyone scolded. Hua Xiangrong regretted it very much, and came up with the idea to let Huo Qimeng be the head of state. and regretted even more that he came up with the idea of letting Zeng Yuquan serve as the chairman of Haike Yingzhou. thought it was a family reunion and an ending that went down in history, but it ended up being too clever, but it was the ruin of the country and the death of the family, which deeply interpreted the good reincarnation of cause and effect in the world.
Whenever she misses this, Hua Xiangrong secretly weeps. He repented of his sins, and lamented the misfortune of his fate. Zhao Yao allowed the former FΓΌhrer's mother to return to the Blue Domain, remembering that none of those sins were directly related to this person. But Hua Xiangrong never wanted to go back to Zhongdu Province, and he never saw the old people who were still in the political arena from the Huo Qimeng era.
In the central and southern settlement area three provinces away from the central capital province, Hua Xiangrong used the little "usual" left to buy a small compartment for himself, and spent the rest of his life incognito.
Quiet days quietly flow away during the time of volunteering to remove snow from the trees in front of the building. However, the sky never fulfills people's wishes, and there are still some old people who refuse to forget the past to come uninvited to break this quiet and peaceful.
When Ying Ying came, Hua Xiangrong was wearing sanitation clothes to clear the snow. The fat reflective clothes could not hide the graceful figure, and his back was facing the sky, and his face was whiter than snow. Yuan Fengying locked on to the target from among the many sanitation workers at a glance.
"Sister Hua, long time no see!" Yuan Fengying came in plain clothes, which caught Hua Xiangrong a little off guard.
Hua Xiangrong's residence is small, but still neat and spotless. took off the fat sanitation clothes, and a black tight sweater was worthy of this bumpy figure.
"The chief of the principle has always been in charge of everything, and he has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, this visit, shouldn't he come to see me as a guilty person because of his old feelings?"
"Sister Hua is still so sharp-tongued, since you have said this, then I might as well get straight to the point. You will be willing to do this for the rest of your life, and be a sanitation worker with peace of mind. β
"Stop, if you're coming to visit me, then you're welcome. But who doesn't know that although the director of the principle is the chairman of the ecological council, but the political skill is absolutely the first in the allies, you elected Qimeng back then, I thank you, but Qimeng also fulfilled his promise and provided a strong guarantee for your ecological council. If you come to dig over old accounts, or want to get some political resources from me, I'm sorry, please get out. β
"Sister Hua, don't be so arbitrary in evaluating people's motives. I came to you after I learned that you had joined the Volunteer Sanitation Worker. I know that you think that civilization has come to this day you have a great sin and you want to atone for it. I want to tell you that now that civilization is suffering from internal and external troubles, and if you really want to atone for your sins, you have to go to a more important post. β
"Get out! Ever since you came in, not a word has been sincere. I say something nice on my lips, but what is the idea in my heart when I don't know? β
Yuan Fengying knew that she would definitely eat such a closed door soup if she came rashly, but she didn't come unprepared. After thinking about it, she knew that the next words would change the fate of the poor woman once again.
