Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1620 Global Freezing VS Global Flooding?

At the Natural Disaster Research Institute, dozens of experts from various disciplines sat next to each other.

Li Yu sat in the top seat, stroking his chin and savoring what Song Zhihong had just said.

"Why do water droplets in the clouds have so many DI elements?" Li Yu asked.

As the dean of the Institute of Natural Disasters, Song Zhihong is a meteorologist and knows the most about meteorology.

He opened his mouth and answered:

"According to Dean Madi's guess, he suspects that in addition to the northwest, there are other meteorites scattered in other places."

"Our oceanographers and limnologists have concluded that there is only one possible way to form a cloud covering the entire world, and that is that in addition to the meteorite in the northwest, there must be other meteorites that fell into the ocean."

"The water in the ocean interacted with the meteorite. The weather has been hot recently, and a large amount of seawater evaporated. The evaporated water vapor contained this DI element and flew into the air."

As soon as he finished speaking, Madi took over.

"That makes sense, but if it fell into the ocean, with our current level of technology, it would be difficult to find the meteorite."

"Also, these meteorites fell into the ocean during hot weather, so the water vapor evaporated and rose into the sky. Why was it able to form rain before, but not now?"

Petrologist Liao Fan said:
"It was able to rain normally before. At that time, the DI element content in the water vapor was not high, and the water droplets were affected by gravity and naturally formed rain."

"But this time, the DI element content in the water droplets we sampled exceeded that of ordinary water."

"Based on your previous assumption, I believe that in addition to the northwest, there are other large numbers of meteorites falling into the ocean. Based on this premise, it can explain one thing."

"The meteorite that fell into the ocean has recently reacted more strongly with the seawater. In other words, it has dissolved faster! That's why a large amount of DI elements are distributed in the seawater."

Oceanographer Wu Nianchuan nodded and said, "Yes, I agree with this view."

"When it's not raining, clouds get thicker. When water vapor cools in the air and condenses into small droplets, those droplets gather to form clouds. If those droplets don't have enough gravity to fall to the ground, the clouds persist and may get thicker."

“Clouds form when water vapour cools in the air and condenses into small droplets, which then come together to form the clouds we see.

When the mass of these water droplets increases to a certain level, they fall under the influence of gravity as rain. If not enough of these water droplets fall to the ground, the cloud will persist and may become thicker.

The thickness of clouds is affected by a variety of factors, including temperature, humidity, and air pressure. The warmer the temperature, the higher the water vapor content in the air, and the thicker the clouds are likely to be.

In addition, the temperature of the troposphere decreases with increasing altitude, which also helps the formation and thickening of clouds.”

In the conference room, experts were expressing their ideas.

It lasted for half an hour, and Li Yu felt a little dizzy after listening to it.

He listened to their experts and scholars proposing hypotheses and conducting analysis, but the answer he wanted had not been given yet.

Tuk Tuk——

He knocked on the table, and everyone stopped discussing and looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu took a deep breath and said:

"I just have two questions. The first question is, how long will this drought last?"

"The second question is, what problems will this cause if the clouds continue to accumulate?"

Everyone was silent upon hearing this.

No one knows how to answer these two questions.

Others may not know and may not answer, but Song Zhihong, as the director of the Institute of Natural Disasters,

He must answer these two questions about natural disasters.

Song Zhihong thought for a moment and said:
"City Lord, we cannot give you an answer to your first question yet, but we roughly know how to find the answer."

"Our approach is to calculate rainfall based on the gravity of water droplets falling, and then reversely deduce the thickness of the clouds that need to be reached."

This statement came out.

Maddy immediately retorted.

"That's not right, Dean Song. The helicopter has already reached an altitude of 6000 meters. This altitude is already relatively high among the mid-level clouds. According to common sense, this will definitely produce continuous precipitation."

"If helicopters can't exceed 6000 meters, you can all go up to 8000 meters and above to collect samples for research. Perhaps the tiny ice crystals in the high clouds also contain a lot of DI elements."

"We can't use common sense to calculate now, because the DI elements may have spread throughout the high, medium and low cloud layers, and the thickness calculation is inaccurate!"

The average armed helicopter's flight altitude is only three to four thousand meters, and military helicopters can only fly up to 6000 meters.

The high clouds mentioned by Madi are generally above 8000-13000 meters in altitude and are composed of tiny ice crystals. They usually do not produce precipitation, but they will produce "snow flags".

Madi's objections are clearly valid.

After listening to this, Song Zhihong didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Li Yu listened with some impatience. He seemed to understand what these experts and scholars said, but not quite.

He wants answers!

But I can't give an answer.

"Since the first question cannot be answered, what about the second question? What consequences may be caused by such thick clouds?" Li Yu asked impatiently.

Song Zhihong hesitated for a few seconds and then said:
“There could be two outcomes.”

"Speak." Li Yu knocked on the table. He had been in the meeting room for forty minutes and he was finally able to answer one of his questions.

Song Zhihong looked a little horrified, swallowed his saliva and said:

"Given the current thickness of the clouds, if it continues for a few years without rain, when it reaches a critical value, I'm afraid there will be a super-heavy rainstorm, which may last longer than any previous rainstorm disaster."

"By then, there will be a super flood, which may submerge a lot of land area."

"A lot of land area? How much is it?" Li Yu asked with a frown.

"I don't know, it can't be calculated." Song Zhihong replied awkwardly.

So vague! ?
What are you doing!
Is it submerged below 50 meters above sea level, or below 100 meters, or below 200 meters, or something more?

Or is it that the whole world is flooded, the land disappears, and the whole world is ocean?
Fuck!

Li Yu was a little annoyed. Why did Song Zhihong always give him such vague answers?

TMD!

If all the land is really flooded, then what’s the point of his doing?
What's the point of building these bases?
Humans are fucking dead!

That’s not right. Do we still have to build Noah’s Ark?

How to build Noah's Ark that can accommodate tens of thousands of people?
The amount of human and material resources required is an astronomical figure that cannot be calculated.

And the most important thing is that this is just a possibility!
For the sake of a possibility, they have to change all their current strategies and even give up everything for future development, which means starting all over again!
If you think about it carefully, zombies can swim. If the whole world is really submerged, what’s the point of them staying on the boat?
The zombies are still getting stronger, and every time there is a rainstorm, the zombies evolve faster.
How are they doing?
Li Yu was really annoyed. This time he felt strongly the pain of losing the advantage of foresight and rebirth.

The future is full of uncertainty, and he has no idea what natural disasters will occur in the future.

It's hard to make a decision.

Really annoying.

With just a little speculation, the changes to their current situation are too great.

call--

Li Yu exhaled a breath of turbid air and continued to ask: "What about the second possibility?"

Song Zhihong thought for a moment and said:
"The second possibility, which is a little bit better, is if the Earth continues to not have any rainfall.

After one to three months, the clouds will continue to thicken, and a large amount of sunlight will be reflected, causing the atmospheric temperature to drop, which may eventually lead to global heavy snow and complete freezing of the ocean!

This situation will continue for a long time, because the snow will continue to strongly reflect the sunlight, maintaining the cold winter state! "

"Global freeze?" Li Yu asked with a frown.

"Yes, this is probably the possibility. By then, the entire ocean may be frozen." Song Zhihong nodded.

Hey!
Li Yu placed his elbows on the table and rubbed his brows vigorously.

It is possible again. All the answers Song Zhihong gave him were possible.

There is an accurate answer.

The world is frozen, and the cold weather lasts for a long time. Li Yu raised his head and asked, "You said the cold winter will last for a long time. How long? One month, one year, or ten years?"

Song Zhihong was a little nervous, and his expression looked like he was about to cry:

"City Lord, this is really impossible to be sure."

"Because of the emergence of DI elements, many phenomena have occurred that cannot be explained by common sense. For example, there have been so many natural disasters in recent years, none of which are scientifically based."

"We have studied all the natural disasters that have occurred, but we have not found any patterns. It is all very random."

Li Yu couldn't hold it anymore.

He laughed angrily.

But he also understood Song Zhihong. After all, they could not deduce such an unscientific thing using their original logic.

I remembered that when I went to see Qingyuan just now, I didn’t give him an answer.

Now he has contacted the people from the research institute, but they have not given him an accurate answer.

But at least, it gave him the possibility.

Just these two possibilities made him feel upset!

It's so painful!

Especially the first possibility.

The whole world is flooded, and zombies can grow stronger in the rain.

What a joke!

What the hell are you still struggling for!

When that time comes, he just wants to say,

Destroy it, hurry up.

He could somewhat understand the psychological state of ordinary survivors. Before every natural disaster, they had no idea what the next disaster would be.

He could also understand those survivors who had given up hope.

Because the fear of the unknown brings too much pressure on the mind.

What he is thinking about now is what to do next.

"City Lord." Song Zhihong saw the changing expression on Li Yu's face and knew that Li Yu was in a bad mood at the moment, but he still mustered up the courage to speak.

"explain."

Song Zhihong coughed twice and said:

"The two possibilities I mentioned are just based on the scientific logic before the end of the world and my common sense inferences."

"Some natural disasters in the past were reasonable, and some were unreasonable, so."

"So what?" Li Yu looked at him with murderous eyes.

"So, the two possibilities I just mentioned may not happen. Maybe it will just be an ordinary heavy rain in a month or two, or maybe..."

Li Yu stood up, stepped back, and the stool under his butt fell backwards with a thud.

To be honest, he has tolerated Song Zhihong for a long time!

If it were him before, he would have beaten someone up long ago.

First, two extremely serious consequences were given.
Then tell yourself that maybe it won’t happen.

What the fuck!

Li Yu's chest heaved.

Bai Jie saw that Li Yu was angry, so she quickly stood up and went over to help Li Yu move his chair.

While saying to Li Yu:

"City Lord, please don't be angry. Sit down and have a drink of water first."

Under Bai Jie's gentle tone, Li Yu slowly sat down.

But he was still a little unhappy with Song Zhihong's way of expression.

Can't you just say it all at once?

A sudden surprise.

Bai Jie brought some water to Li Yu, and Li Yu took a sip.

He took a long breath and said to Song Zhihong:
"Song Zhihong."

"The little one is here."

Grass!
Hear this little one.

Li Yu was almost laughing out of anger.

"Next time you report your ideas, say them all at once, don't pause, and get to the point!"

"Okay, City Lord." Song Zhihong said hurriedly.

He was mainly frightened by the internal discussions at the research institute, so much so that he didn't know how to tell the city lord.

Li Yu nodded slightly, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

There was a calm light in his eyes.

Since the reborn foresight is gone, Qing Yuan can no longer make predictions.

Then from now on, they can only rely on themselves.

The problem before them is still the drought.

It may be affected by meteorites from outer space. Now the clouds are so thick and the sunlight is reflected, so the temperature should drop.

But what is abnormal is that the temperature is still over 30 degrees.

This is absolutely not common sense.

With such a high temperature, water vapor is naturally continuing to evaporate and the water resources on land are still decreasing.

The next thing to contend with is drought.

They don't know how long the drought will last, so water storage is the top priority.

Now that the water plant has been built, what should be done next?

Suddenly, he figured out one thing.

That is to respond to ever-changing situations with constancy.

Since it is uncertain what kind of natural disasters will occur in the future, they should make various preparations, continue their current construction, and continue their development.

If you don’t know what the future will be like, then just do the best you can now.

At the same time, strengthen the existing systems for defending against natural disasters.

The Big Camphor Tree Base and the Oil City are both at quite high altitudes. If a super heavy rainstorm really hits, a devastating flood will submerge these two places.

I guess the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the only thing left in the world.

What are you playing?!
They naturally cannot, because of an uncertain possibility,
Now let’s leave these two places behind and head to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Perhaps, we can send people to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau as a vanguard?
In addition, if there is a heavy snowstorm and the whole world is frozen, we must take measures to keep warm.

They have actually experienced the extremely cold weather caused by global cooling and have some experience in keeping warm.

It seems that we still need to think of ways to increase our ability to resist the cold.

Li Yu was thinking, and the people in the audience didn't dare to say anything.

When Li Yu came to his senses, he saw that everyone was still in their seats.
So he said, "Everyone go away."

(Asking for monthly votes, the recent plot has been a bit bland as suggested by the big guys, so here's some hardcore stuff. But don't worry, this book is centered around infrastructure development, zombies, natural disasters, and survival, and won't touch on anything else.)
