Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1619 DI Elements, the Real Culprit Behind Zombies and Natural Disasters

On the right side of Sanqing Temple, there is an observation deck.

The observation deck is located at a higher position on the entire hill, higher than the outer city wall.

From this position you can overlook the scenes in the outer city and the buffer city.

After Li Yu learned from Lord Tiger that Qing Yuan was at the observation deck, he walked towards the observation deck from the gate of Sanqing Temple.

We walked through a winding path, and pine needles from the roadside trees occasionally fell, causing some stinging sensation on people.

But at this moment, Li Yu no longer cared about the feeling of pine needles falling on his body. He just wanted to find out how long the drought would last and what was going on with the clouds in the sky.

He had too many doubts that he wanted to clarify.

After crossing the path, the front suddenly opened up to a wide open space. A tall Taoist priest with a Hunyuan Taoist bun was standing on the edge of the observation deck with his back to them.

The breeze was blowing gently, and the breeze blew up Taoist Qingyuan's wide Taoist robe, making it flutter in the wind.

"Master Qingyuan." Li Yu shouted from behind.

Qing Yuan heard the voice behind him and turned around. Qing Yuan, who was usually calm, now looked a little solemn.

There were dark clouds between his brows, and he looked like he was worried about something.

"City Lord."

Qing Yuan bowed towards Li Yu.

When Li Yu saw his solemn expression, his heart skipped a beat.

approach.

"What's wrong? Taoist Qing Yuan, you seem to be worried."

Taoist Qing Yuan said somewhat uninterestedly: "I was wrong. City Lord, do you still remember the little poem I told you at the beginning?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

"The thunderstorm is gone and the sea is calm
The water of Jiuqu Yellow River is not yellow

Disaster caused by alien objects from the sky

Proclaiming himself emperor, king and unifying

There is still an evil star lurking in the northwest

I couldn’t sing the Peace Song everywhere. "

“What’s wrong with this little poem?”

Qing Yuan smiled bitterly and said:

"I originally thought that the end of this great apocalypse would come in the northwest, but now it seems that I was wrong. Even if the problems in the northwest are solved, the song of peace will still not be sung."

"And the key point is that something from outer space will cause some unknown changes and disasters."

"Then what?" Li Yu asked urgently.

Qing Yuan pointed to the accumulated clouds in the distance and said:

"I used the Qigong technique to observe the clouds, but I couldn't understand them. This scene was totally inconsistent with all the records in the Qigong technique."

Li Yu frowned and asked:

"I just noticed that the clouds are a bit strange, and it hasn't rained for four months. I would like to ask Taoist Qing Yuan to tell me when this drought will end."

Qing Yuan looked at the clouds in the distance with a wry smile, shook his head and said:

"Man may plan a thousand things, but God only plans one."

"I dare not predict everything, because the world is unpredictable. The sky is unpredictable, the earth is unpredictable, and human affairs are unpredictable."

"The disaster from the sky has changed too much. There is no need to calculate it now. Before the city lord came to me, I did a divination, but there is no solution. I can no longer understand or see through all this."

When Li Yu heard Qing Yuan mention the phrase "disaster from the sky" again, he remembered a possibility guessed by Madi and the meteorologist.

There is not only one meteorite from outer space in this world, and the meteorite in the northwest alone cannot have such a big impact on the weather.

In addition to the one in the northwest, there are likely to be other meteorites, and they may be very large.

It is very likely that these meteorites have caused the continuous natural disasters since the end of the world.

The meteorite was also the cause of the zombie outbreak.

It now seems that if we want to put an end to the zombies, we have to get the meteorite from Northwest.

To restore normal climate and weather, we have to find all the meteorites.

They know where the northwest meteorite is, but what about the other meteorites?

Li Yu felt a little depressed when he thought about all this.

In this doomsday, it’s not just the zombies that are terrifying, but also the endless natural disasters.

Five years before the end of the world, he relied on his foresight to successfully lead the large camphor tree base to avoid many natural disasters and gradually grow stronger.

Qing Yuan had predicted natural disasters accurately several times, and he originally thought that he would be able to rely on him in the future to make up for the loss of the advantage of rebirth.

But now Qing Yuan told himself that he couldn't figure it out!
The thick cumulus clouds in the sky have evaporated so much moisture that the water droplets in the clouds should have fallen down long ago.

But it just doesn’t rain!

Science can't explain it.

Metaphysics can no longer explain it.

Li Yu remained silent, and Qing Yuan next to him also said nothing.

half an hour.

Li Yu was somewhat unwilling to accept this, so he asked again for confirmation:

"Master Qing Yuan, how long do you think this drought will last? What consequences will the clouds in the sky cause?"

Qing Yuan smiled bitterly and said:
"Forgive my incompetence. I have tried all kinds of methods, whether it is qigong or divination, none of them can explain this. But from the original poem, I think the line "extraordinary things causing disasters" is the most critical and is most likely the root cause of all this."

What he said was not much different from what Madi and the others had guessed.

It's nothing more than a meteorite from outer space.

But where is it?
No solution.

"Okay." Li Yu sighed.

He felt inexplicably powerless.

The reason why the development of the large camphor tree base was suppressed before was because of the uncertainty of natural disasters.

In the years before his rebirth, he had seen many large and medium-sized forces go to ruin, the main reason for which was natural disasters.

The larger the base, the greater the impact of natural disasters.

If we cannot survive the natural disasters, we may be doomed.

The natural disaster at this stage is already very obvious, which is drought.

Just how long it will last, I don't know.

No one knows whether other natural disasters will occur after the drought ends.

But Li Yu was reborn, and combined with his experience from his previous life, he already has 11 years of experience in the apocalypse.

Over the past few years, he has led the large camphor tree base to continuously raise the walls and strengthen its defenses.

Moreover, in the past few years, he did not dare to develop vigorously, but just wanted to find the right development path.

Stable food production - solid base defense - continuous collection of various useful materials - absorbing and digesting the population.

At the Dazhangshu base, he even maintained a planned economy because he was worried that moving too fast would lead to many uncertainties.

After so many years of natural disasters, they have rich experience in resisting natural disasters.

They all survived it intact.

We have also continuously improved our defense system and have experience in dealing with typhoons, heavy rains, floods, locust plagues, extreme cold and heat, volcanic eruptions, polar nights, and magnetic storms.

Even for the wall-climbing zombies that appear later, even without ultraviolet lamps, they can still solve the problem by moving the switch.

He couldn't figure out what the cumulus clouds in the sky would lead to.

When he couldn't figure out something, he would talk to someone and exchange ideas. It seemed that Qingyuan couldn't get any other useful information for the time being. After thinking it over again and again, Li Yu thought he could talk to Madi and meteorologist Song Zhihong.

"Master Qing Yuan, I'm leaving first. If you have any new ideas, you can contact me directly."

Qing Yuan nodded and clasped his fists: "Okay, City Lord."

Li Yu turned around and walked towards Sanqing Temple.

Qing Yuan looked at Li Yu's departing back, stretched out his hand and counted with his fingers, but had no clue after calculating for a long time, and smiled bitterly.

Ugh.
Li Yu rode a small electric scooter, left Sanqing Temple, and hurried to the Zombie Research Institute. Opposite the Zombie Research Institute, there was a Natural Disaster Research Institute, formerly the Meteorological College.

But later, experts and professors from the southwest joined in, and experts from the north were integrated into the team.

Experts from various fields such as geologists, zoologists, botanists, astronomers, physicists, chemists, etc. were integrated into the Institute of Natural Disasters.

These two research institutes have gathered the wisdom of the most educated talents in the Dazhangshu base.

Li Yu parked the electric scooter outside the Zombie Research Institute.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has four branches:

Zombie Research Institute, Natural Disaster Research Institute, Institute of Physical and Chemical Engineering, and Military Research Institute.

The Minister of Science and Technology is Bai Jie, and the Deputy Minister is He Bing, the director of the Military Industry Research Institute.

After Bai Jie took over as the minister, Madi was put in charge of the Zombie Research Institute, but he was under the supervision of Bai Jie.

He was the first to enter the Zombie Research Institute. Although Bai Jie served as the Minister of Science and Technology, she usually stayed here.

As soon as Li Yu entered the Zombie Research Institute, he met Xiaolan, who was wearing a white work suit. She was walking through the aisle with a stack of documents and saw Li Yu at a glance.

"City Lord."

Li Yu stopped when he saw Xiaolan.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Notify Bai Jie and Madi and ask them to come to the Natural Disaster Research Institute across the street for a meeting later."

"Ah? Okay." Xiaolan was confused for a few seconds and nodded in reply.

Xiaolan has always been a bit naive and slow in doing things.

I have been following Bai Jie since the apocalypse broke out.

After joining the Big Camphor Tree Base, she has been staying in the Zombie Research Institute. Except for going out to observe the migration of zombies up close and other research on zombies, she has hardly ever left the Big Camphor Tree Base.

To be precise, she basically moves between three points: residence, research institute, and cafeteria.

After Li Yu finished explaining, he turned around and walked towards the Natural Disaster Research Institute opposite.

The Natural Disaster Research Institute currently has 38 people, bringing together talents from various disciplines.

The Natural Disaster Research Institute has many independent small research institutes, which are divided into different categories. On the one hand, they can study the subjects they have learned, and on the other hand, they can integrate them to study natural disasters.

Don't delay either.

As soon as I entered the Natural Disaster Research Institute, I saw Zhao Ruyu in the hall.

"Hello, City Lord." Zhao Ruyu said to Li Yu, holding an astronomical telescope in his hand.

"Let's ask everyone to stop what they are doing for a while and hold a small meeting in the conference room."

"Okay." Although Zhao Ruyu was a little confused, he still didn't ask.

Li Yu pushed open the door of the meeting room of the Natural Disaster Research Institute.

The walls of the conference room are all covered with whiteboards, which makes it convenient for researchers to write down their ideas during discussions.

Li Yu noticed the advancement chart written on the whiteboard next to the door.

It clearly states various abnormal conditions related to the recent drought, as well as research progress.

However, most of the research progress ends up with gaps.

It seems that we are all stuck at a certain point.

Just as Li Yu was quietly looking at the words on the whiteboard, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The people who came in were not from the Natural Disaster Research Institute, but Bai Jie and Madi.

After receiving Xiaolan's notification, the two of them immediately handed over the tasks at hand to other researchers.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

"Okay, sit down." Li Yu nodded.

He withdrew his gaze from the whiteboard and walked to the seat at the top.

"Mayor, do you have anything to talk to us about?" Bai Jie asked.

"Do you see the clouds piling up outside?" Li Yu asked.

Bai Jie and Madi looked at each other, they certainly saw it.

It's just that the water droplets accumulate in the clouds, and there has been no research result on this issue yet.

Bai Jie said:

"Yesterday, we commissioned the helicopter brigade captain Lao Bi to send someone to fly a helicopter with a group of natural disaster researchers to fly high in the sky and study the clouds at close range."

"And conduct sampling research. Song Zhihong and his team are probably busy with this right now."

"Yeah." Li Yu nodded.

He didn't know about this. After all, he was the city lord and it was impossible for him to know all the things happening in the base.

At this moment, there were frequent footsteps outside the meeting room.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and Song Zhihong led the way in, followed by dozens of expert researchers.

"City Lord."

"minister."

When Song Zhihong saw Li Yu and his immediate superior Bai Jie, he quickly spoke.

"What were the results of your study of the clouds in a helicopter?" Li Yu asked what he wanted to ask without any prelude.

Song Zhihong was stunned and said in surprise:
"We were just studying it in the laboratory and are still discussing it in the conference room."

"We conducted sampling research at different altitudes, including 1000 meters, 4000 meters, and 6000 meters."

"Generally speaking, mid-level clouds are between 2000 and 8000 metres high and are composed of a mixture of tiny water droplets, ice crystals or snow crystals, which can produce continuous precipitation. Low-level clouds are below 2000 metres high and are composed of tiny water droplets, which usually produce thunderstorms."

"But!"

Song Zhihong changed the subject and said with a frown:
"After sampling and close observation, we found that the mass of water droplets in the clouds has become lighter!"

"This is irrational and so unusual!"

"Then we conducted research based on water droplets sampled from clouds and found that these droplets contained a lot of DI elements, far exceeding the DI elements currently found in natural water sources."

Li Yu knew about the DI element, which was discovered and proposed by Madi.

This element is exactly what is contained in meteorites from outer space, and it is the core trace element that he uses to make anti-cancer injections.

At the same time, this trace element is also the key to making zombie-attracting potions.

Before the end of the world, there were a total of 118 known elements, and two unknown elements, 119 and 120, were discovered.

DI is the 121st unknown element discovered after the end of the world.

The properties and functions of this element are still under study.

Li Yu still remembered that Madi had talked to him about this element a long time ago.

It has been mentioned that this element is radioactive, but this trace amount of substance will not have any effect on the human body.

Li Yu asked:
"So, what you're saying is that the reason why there's no rain is because there's too much DI in the water droplets in the clouds, and the large amount of this element causes the water droplets to lose weight, resulting in no rain?"

"Yes, that's roughly what I mean." Song Zhihong thought about it and nodded.
