Chapter 457: Puja
Someone opened the periodic table and found a strange phenomenon, many elements have gold characters, a total of 112 elements, only 22 non-metals, but 90 kinds of metals!
The Qin family purchased as many as 50 kinds of metals! Each of them purchased a large amount! In particular, precious metals and rare earth elements! Precious metals refer to eight kinds of gold, silver, and platinum group metals (ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum). According to some estimates, the Qin family may have bought more than 30% of the world's precious metals.
As for why the Qin family bought metal? It is said that the Spring and Autumn Martial Arts Hall launched the "Spirit Sword" that sharpens iron like clay, which may be the ultimate goal of the Qin family's purchase of metal.
Even if outsiders scratch their heads, they can't imagine that there is a deeper reason why the Qin family sold the property on Hong Kong Island, that is, after the expansion of the aura, it will intensify the warming of the climate and raise the sea level, and after a few years, the glaciers in the Arctic and Antarctic will melt, the sea level will rise by 66 meters, and the entire Hong Kong Island will be submerged except for a few hills!
This is not only a problem for Hong Kong Island, but also for all the important cities in the coastal areas.
These include Yingkou and Panjin in Liaoning; Tangshan and Cangzhou in Hebei; most of Beijing and Tianjin; only two large islands are left in Shandong; Jiangsu covers almost the entire territory; the entire territory of the magic capital is submerged; most of Zhoushan and Jiaxing in Zhejiang, the coastal parts of Ningbo, Taizhou, and Wenzhou; the parts of Nanchang and Jiujiang in Jiangxi; Ningde, Putian, Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Quanzhou in Fujian; Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung in Taiwan; Shantou, Shanwei, Huizhou, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, Jiangmen, and Zhanjiang in Guangdong; and Beihai, Qinzhou, and Zhanjiang in Guangdong; Fangchenggang, almost the entire territory of Hong Kong and Macao, Haikou, Sanya and Qionghai in Hainan.
Some places in foreign countries are even worse, such as the country of Mengjiala, which almost completely sank into the ocean. The coastal areas of India will disappear. Flooding in the Mekong River basin will turn the Cardamom Mountains, which stretch for hundreds of kilometers in southwest Cambodia at an altitude of 1,000 meters, into an isolated island in the sea.
At the same time, the northwest inland region will become a good place with abundant water and grass, a large number of people will be pulled to the west, the desert will disappear, and the arable area will increase, if there are no monsters rampant, this is not necessarily a bad thing for China.
Imagine, because of climate warming, the entire Xinjiang, Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Shaanxi have all become green spaces, which is a earth-shaking change, and some people will like this change.
The Qin family just quietly sold the property without explaining the reason, because speaking out would cause social unrest. Sea level rise is happening slowly, and I believe that many scientists can predict it in advance. The state has so many think tank personnel, and not all of them eat dry food.
In 2047, the Reiki expansion continues to stretch forward, expanding outward by 30 kilometers per year.
This trend is closely watched by the relevant state departments. The "Great Development of Northwest China" has been elevated to a strategic level.
The state intends to establish some large human settlements in the northwest, and then move some people from the densely populated cities in the eastern region to the west.
Several townships have been built near Lop Nur, and Loulan New Town is one of them.
Not far from the Spring and Autumn Palace, Loulan New Town is the core of Loulan New Village, where 30,000 people have moved and is still expanding.
Although it is said that the Qin family has contracted a hundred miles around Lop Nur, the Taklamakan Desert is 1,000 kilometers long from east to west, 400 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of 337,600 square kilometers, and there is still vast space to build more cities!
Loulan New Town was controlled by the Qin family, and it was also under the management of the state, such as the police station of the Public Security Bureau, the establishment of primary and secondary schools, and so on.
At the beginning, people thought that the Qin family took out 1 billion yuan every year, which was equivalent to throwing money into the desert, but the climatic conditions here are getting better and better, and the Qin family has really developed real estate here, and every house can be sold at a good price, which not only shocks people who watch jokes, but also makes some people envious, jealous and hateful!
Someone said: "The Qin family contracted such a large land, not only planting Linggu and mulberry trees, but also developing real estate, and only paid 1 billion yuan a year, which is too little!"17
"Yes, now it seems that the country has suffered a big loss!"
"Qin Dashao is really a profiteer! He is scheming and calculating, which makes people hate it so much!"
Although the people said everything, the national level did not say anything, after all, the agreement was signed back then, and it was clearly written in black and white, and the agreement could not be torn up casually. Moreover, the Taklamakan Desert is so big, Qinghai, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, many places have become green spaces, and the country has places where settlements can be established, so why bother with the Qin family?
The question now is how to effectively resist the invasion of demon beasts, instead of competing with the Qin family for that little profit.
With the strength of China's infrastructure madness, it is easy to establish a human settlement, but how to resist the monster in the future is not so easy. Many scientists and the military have joined forces to try to build new cities, such as raising the city walls, placing powerful guns and cannons on the city walls, and cultivating fertile fields in the city......
Everything is just beginning, humans are inexperienced, and monsters have only been born for a few years. It takes time for the demon beast to grow, and after a few years, the demon beast has advanced from the Qi refining period to the foundation building stage and the Jindan stage, and the pressure faced by the human race has increased significantly, and ordinary guns may not work.
Fortunately, the human monks are also growing, and the key depends on which side grows faster.
In 2047, Yan Xue entered the Kunlun Palace for retreat, preparing to give birth to a baby.
Qin Ying returned from Hong Kong and replaced Yan Xue in the Spring and Autumn Palace. Because she is very close to Yan Xue, ordinary people still think she is a song fairy.
In mid-March, Hangzhou Lingyin Temple held a Dharma meeting, which was attended by senior monks from all over the country. Among them, Master Haiyan was invited to participate, followed by a little monk who is said to be named "Hai'an".
Zhang Naijing sponsored 100 million yuan, so he, as a "big benefactor", was also invited to participate in the festival.
After years of cultivation, Zhang Naijing has reached the late stage of qi refining.
However, he was amazed to find that many of the monks and presiding officers who came to attend the festival were monks. Because of the quiet improvement of spiritual energy, those monks who originally had spiritual roots, with the support of years of Buddhist practice, began to increase their skills.
Some large temples have far-reaching inheritances and have not been completely cut off, such as Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, White Horse Temple in Luoyang, Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Hanshan Temple in Gusu, as well as Longxing Temple, Jokhang Temple, Qingjing Temple, Reclining Buddha Temple, Jinshan Temple, Taer Temple......
The hosts of these temples are all cultivators, and some of them are already bodhisattvas of the two places.
According to Qin Di, the Bodhisattva of one place is equivalent to the low-level Qi refining period, the Bodhisattva of the second place is equivalent to the high-level Qi refining period, the Bodhisattva of the third place is equivalent to the early stage of foundation building, the Bodhisattva of the fourth place is equivalent to the late stage of foundation building, the Bodhisattva of the fifth place is equivalent to the Jindan period, and the Bodhisattva of the sixth place is equivalent to the Yuan Infant stage......
Master Haiyan is a bodhisattva of the four places, which is equivalent to the later stage of foundation building, and is considered to be very skilled among the participants.
After so many eminent monks presided over the puja, they signed a joint statement hoping to relax the restrictions on Buddhism and allow Buddhism to recruit more disciples in order to contribute to the defense against demon beasts.
This joint statement was published in the newspaper and received the support of many ordinary people.
