Chapter 1620 Global Freeze VS Global Flooding?

In the Natural Disaster Research Institute, dozens of experts from various disciplines sat in a row.

Li Yu sat at the top, touching his chin and savoring what Song Zhihong had just said.

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

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

He answered:

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

"Our oceanographers and lake scientists infer that there is only one possibility to form a cloud covering the world, that is, in addition to the meteorite in the northwest, there must be other meteorites that fell into the ocean."

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

As soon as he finished speaking, Madi took over.

"If you put it that way, it makes sense, but if it falls into the ocean, with our current level of technology, it is difficult to find the meteorite."

"In addition, these meteorites fell into the ocean, and there was hot weather before, and the water vapor evaporated and rose into the air. Why was it able to form rain before, but not now?"

Geologist Liao Fan said:

"It was able to rain normally before, and the DI element content in the water vapor was not high at that time. 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."

"I am based on everyone's assumption just now: In addition to the northwest, there are other large numbers of extraterrestrial meteorites falling into the ocean. Based on this premise, it can explain one thing."

"The extraterrestrial meteorite that fell into the ocean has recently reacted more 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, the clouds will get thicker. When water vapor cools in the air and condenses into small water droplets, these water droplets gather to form clouds. If these water droplets do not have enough gravity to fall to the ground, the clouds will continue to exist and may become thicker."

"Clouds are formed because water vapor cools in the air and condenses into small water droplets, which gather together to form the clouds we see.

When the mass of these water droplets increases to a certain extent, they will fall under the action of gravity to form rain. If these water droplets do not have enough gravity to fall to the ground, the clouds will continue to exist and may become thicker.

The thickness of the cloud layer is affected by many factors, including temperature, humidity and air pressure. The higher the temperature, the higher the water vapor content in the air, and the thicker the clouds may 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 talking about their own ideas.

It lasted for half an hour, and Li Yu felt a little dizzy.

He listened to their experts and scholars making assumptions and conducting analysis, but the answer he wanted had not been answered yet.

Knock knock --

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

Li Yu took a deep breath and said:

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

"The second question is, what problems will this cloud layer continue to accumulate?"

Everyone was still after hearing this.

No one knew how to answer these two questions.

Others may not know or not answer, but Song Zhihong, as the dean of the Natural Disaster Research Institute.

He must answer these two natural disaster questions.

Song Zhihong thought for a moment and said:

"City Lord, we cannot give you an answer to the first question you asked for the time being, but we roughly know how to find the answer."

"Our method is to calculate the rainfall based on the gravity standard of the water droplets falling, and reversely deduce the thickness of the cloud layer that needs to be reached."

As soon as this was said.

Madi immediately refuted.

"That's not right, Dean Song. The helicopter has already reached an altitude of 6,000 meters, which is already a relatively high altitude among the middle-level clouds. According to common sense, this will definitely produce continuous precipitation."

"If the helicopter could not exceed 6,000 meters, you could all go up to the high-level clouds above 8,000 meters for sampling and research. Perhaps the tiny ice crystals in the high-level clouds also contain a large amount of DI elements."

"It is not possible to calculate with common sense now, because the DI elements may have spread throughout the high, medium and low cloud layers, and the thickness calculation is inaccurate!"

The general armed helicopters fly at an altitude of only three or four thousand meters, and the highest altitude of military helicopters can only fly to 6,000 meters.

The high clouds mentioned by Madi are generally above 8,000-13,000 meters, composed of tiny ice crystals, and usually do not produce precipitation, but will produce "snow flags".

Madi's objections are obviously very reasonable.

After listening to it, Song Zhihong didn't know how to refute it for a while.

Li Yu was a little impatient. He seemed to understand what these experts and scholars said.

He wanted an answer!

But he couldn't give an answer.

"Since the first question can't be answered, what about the second question? What consequences might the thick clouds lead to?" Li Yu asked impatiently.

Song Zhihong hesitated for a few seconds and said:

"There may be two results."

"Go ahead." Li Yu knocked on the table. He had been in the meeting room for forty minutes, and he was finally able to answer his question.

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

"Judging from the current cloud thickness, 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-large flood, which may flood a lot of land area."

"A lot of land area? How much." Li Yu frowned and asked.

"I don't know, I can't calculate." Song Zhihong replied awkwardly.

So vague! ?

What the hell!

Is it flooding below 50 meters above sea level, or below 100 meters, or below 200 meters, or how many?

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

Damn it!

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

TMD!

If all the land is really flooded, then what's the point of him playing!

What's the point of building these bases?

All humans are fucking dead!

No, then we still have to build a Noah's Ark?

How to build a Noah's Ark that can accommodate tens of thousands of people?

The human and material resources required are an astronomical figure that cannot be calculated.

And the most important thing is that this is only a possibility!

For a possibility, they have to change all their current strategies, and even give up everything for future development, which is equivalent to starting all over again!

Thinking deeply, zombies can swim. If the whole world is really flooded, what's the point of them staying on the boat!

Zombies are still getting stronger, and the evolution speed of zombies is accelerated every time there is a rainstorm.

What should they do?

Li Yu is really annoyed. This time he strongly felt the pain of losing the advantage of foresight and rebirth.

The future is full of uncertainty. He doesn't know what natural disasters will break out in the future.

It's hard to make a decision.

Really annoying.

With a small speculation, the current changes to them are too big.

Huh——

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

Song Zhihong thought for a while and said:

"The second possibility has a better impact, that is, if the earth continues to not rain.

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

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

"Global freezing?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

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

Da!

Li Yu put his elbow on the table and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.

It is possible again. Song Zhihong's answers to him are all 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 the expression on his face was about to cry:

"City Lord, this is really uncertain."

"Because of the emergence of DI elements, many phenomena that cannot be explained by scientific common sense have appeared. For example, there have been so many natural disasters in recent years, none of which conform to scientific principles."

"We have studied the natural disasters that have occurred, and we have not found any rules. It is very random."

Li Yu couldn't hold it back.

He was so angry that he laughed.

But he understood Song Zhihong. After all, they could not deduce such unscientific things with the original logic.

Remembering that he went to Qingyuan just now, he didn't give him an answer.

Now he went to the group of people in the research institute, and they didn't give him an accurate answer.

But at least, he gave him the possibility.

It's just these two possibilities that make him feel painful!

Extremely painful!

Especially the first possibility.

The whole world is flooded, and zombies can be strengthened in the rain.

What the hell is this!

What the hell is struggling!

If that time really comes, he just wants to say,

Destroy it, quickly.

He can somewhat understand the psychological state of ordinary survivors. Before each natural disaster, they don’t know what the next natural disaster will be.

He can also understand those survivors who have given up hope.

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

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

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

"Speak."

Song Zhihong coughed twice and said:

"The two possibilities I mentioned are just inferred according to the scientific logic before the end of the world and common sense thinking."

"Some of the previous natural disasters are reasonable, and some are not reasonable, so."

"So what?" Li Yu looked at him, his eyes seemed to want to kill him.

"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 back.

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

He would have beaten people before.

First, the possibility of two extremely serious consequences is given.

Then tell yourself that maybe it won’t happen.

What the fuck!

Li Yu's chest rose and fell.

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

While saying to Li Yu:

"City Lord, don't be angry. Please sit down and drink some water first."

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

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

Can't you just say it all at once?

A sudden surprise.

Bai Jie brought 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 sentence.

Li Yu almost laughed out of anger.

"Report your thoughts later, finish it all at once, don't pause, focus on the key points!"

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

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

Li Yu nodded slightly and gradually calmed down.

There was a calm light in his eyes.

Since the reborn prophet is gone, Qingyuan can no longer divine.

Then, they can only rely on themselves.

The problem before them is actually drought.

It may be due to the influence of extraterrestrial meteorites. The clouds are now so thick and the sun is reflected. Logically speaking, the temperature will drop.

But what's unusual is that the temperature is still over 30 degrees.

This is absolutely unreasonable.

At such a high temperature, water vapor naturally continues to evaporate, and land water sources continue to decrease.

The next thing to fight against is drought.

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

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

Suddenly, he figured out something.

That is to remain unchanged in response to all changes.

Since they are not sure what kind of natural disasters will break out in the future, they should make various preparations and continue their current construction and development.

If you don’t know what the future will bring, just do your best now.

Synchronize and enhance the existing systems to prevent natural disasters.

The altitude of Da Zhangshu Base and Petroleum City is both very high. If there were to be a super heavy rain, the world-destroying flood would submerge these two places.

It is estimated that the only thing left in the world is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

What are you going to do? !

They are naturally impossible, because of an uncertain possibility,

Leave these two places behind now and head to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Perhaps, we can send people to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to make a forward stand?

In addition, if there is a heavy snowstorm and the world is frozen, then you need to take measures to keep out the cold.

They have actually experienced the extreme cold weather of global cooling before and have some experience in protecting themselves from the cold.

Now it seems that we still have to think of ways to increase our ability to withstand the cold.

Li Yu thought about it, but no one in the audience dared to say a word.

When Li Yu came to his senses, he saw that everyone was still in their seats.

So he said, "Let's all disperse."

(Please give me a monthly ticket. In response to the bosses’ suggestion that the recent plot has been a bit dull, I decided to add something more ruthless. But don’t worry, this book is centered on infrastructure development, zombies, natural disasters, and survival, and will not cover other topics.)
