After the beginning of autumn, the temperature in the entire northern hemisphere dropped sharply after a heavy rain covering a very wide area. The temperature in mid-August was already nearly 20 degrees lower than the same period in previous years. Many high-latitude areas ushered in a super cold wave ahead of schedule, and food crops were directly affected.
All split.
The world food crisis came without warning.
Except for a few countries, the average grain storage capacity in the world is less than one month, and all major grain exporting countries in the world have issued bans, prohibiting the export of grain.
So this crisis that concerns everyone came quietly.
The reclamation of the mountains and seas will not take shape until at least April next year, and how to get through the remaining ten months has become the main contradiction at this stage.
Old Europe has gone through good times, and suddenly it is about to carry out a planned economic reform that they have laughed at for many years. How can these gentlemen stand it? Paris, London, Milan, Berlin, Istanbul, Madrid, Munich, Rome and other places
Large-scale riots occurred one after another, with crowds attacking controlled areas, various institutions and supermarkets. Large-scale conflicts occurred every day, and the number of casualties increased rapidly.
The American continent is relatively gentle. After all, it is also a major food-producing area. Moreover, compared to the more crowded Eurasian continent, the American continent is vast and sparsely populated and has a relatively complete wartime reserve mechanism, so there has not yet been a very fierce conflict.
But I'm afraid it will be soon, because Washington has begun to adjust the welfare measures for new immigrants and illegal immigrants. If once implemented, it will be equivalent to starving these old Mo, Lao Hei and a lot of weird people to death.
Large-scale riots should also occur by then.
But this is all to be expected. After all, what mankind is about to face is the largest natural disaster with the widest impact since the birth of human civilization. For most countries and regions, it is right to starve some people to death and preserve the majority.
s Choice.
In comparison, although the national district also has a series of restrictions, they are much milder. However, the "Message to All Citizens" is still repeatedly broadcast on TV.
But there is a doomsday, so look at Sister Yao. She announced that she will directly open her material warehouse, and all the materials and products in it will be donated. As long as you can get them all, you can use them as you like.
With Brother Zhang's adaptive warehouse and Zhang Yao's hamster physique, the amount of supplies in this warehouse has reached a frightening level. And as long as the items on the list can be kept the same, then as soon as twelve o'clock passes the next day, the warehouse will
Automatic replenishment.
Zhang Yao didn't know if it was enough to feed the whole world, but she was certain that it could definitely feed about two billion people. This was a reserve she could ascertain.
But the problem is that relying on these things alone is useless. Brother Zhang means to protect part of it, and you cannot rely entirely on his ability to sustain disasters. Therefore, there must be no less land to be planted, and there is no room for laziness in the work that needs to be done.
Therefore, in the end, the warehouse limit was adjusted to a level that is just enough for people to not starve to death but not enough to eat, and will be adjusted based on the current market grain stocks.
It’s not that Brother Zhang is vicious, it’s just because if people know that there is such a thing, they will not make progress. The easiest way is to follow the example of the old African cousins, just lie down and scatter the seeds on the ground, and they will have high yields.
The fact that the place still suffers from famine every year cannot be ruled out as the contribution of some white-skinned plunderers, but it is really closely related to the geographical environment of the place where people will starve to death even if they don't do anything.
Looking back at Eurasia, the natural environment is incomparable to that of Africa, but from ancient times to the present, more than 90% of the creations and inventions that have changed human production and living habits were born here.
Now that most schools have been closed, as she wishes every year, she can continue playing in the snow until next year.
On August 17, large-scale population migration began in the Northeast region, with the population concentrated near the Bohai Bay. Because it is expected that the temperature in the far north this year may exceed minus 70 degrees, so if people in those areas
Without intervention, it will be difficult to survive until next spring.
On August 19th, the first snow of the year fell, and then the area gradually expanded until it passed Shanhaiguan. People who should have been shirtless outside drinking beer and eating Gala now all retreated into their rooms and began to pray.
Get warm in the morning.
The marine aquaculture industry is basically over this year. The cold sea water brought by the Pacific Ocean currents has directly wiped out the aquatic products, but there is no way. After all, this is a natural disaster, and a terrifying natural disaster.
On August 22nd, snow fell across the Yangtze River. The monkeys on Mount Emei were so cold that they came down the mountain and started attacking passers-by. The swallows in ordinary households also looked at the snowy scenery outside the window in bewilderment. They had built their nests just a few days ago.
, why did it start snowing just two days into my stay?
On August 27, the snow came to the Pearl River Estuary. Hong Kong people finally had their own natural snow scene. When it snowed in Taipei, no one would say it was Polyester anymore, until it started snowing in damn Vietnam.
, people realized that things might be going to be worse...
But some people are born to be protagonists. For example, the ancient country of Bharat on a certain continent can still maintain a temperature of 24 to 5 degrees after being blocked by the Himalayas and the Tibetan Plateau from the rolling cold air.
With a temperature of around 100,000 people, Bharat, which used to be hot to death for a large number of people every year, is actually comfortable this year. A large number of people from extremely cold areas even come here to escape the heat. What people didn't expect is that the high temperature originally suppressed the heat.
The virus suddenly broke out in this warm spring temperature.
In just a few days, a shocking epidemic broke out in New Delhi, the capital of Bharat, and Mumbai, which was still a few years away from being overtaken by the capital city. Patients would suffer from high fever and convulsions, followed by multiple organ failure, very similar to
The symptoms of Ebola are rapid and violent. The death toll reached more than 1.7 million in just five days. This number of people did not die in Bharat during World War II. Thick smoke from burning corpses enveloped the city.
, lasts for a long time.
This is just Asia. The situation in Europe is even worse. Some small countries in Eastern Europe have begun to see waves of refugees in batches. The refugees gathered at the border of Poland. After nearly 3,000 people froze to death in one night, these refugees
Officially declared war on Poland... It only took four days for the refugee wave to reach Warsaw, and Poland was successfully attacked for the second time.
Of course the world is in chaos. Under this situation, the five permanent members can only protect themselves, and those small countries can only watch as they become a living hell.
"It is conservatively estimated that when it is finally over, the world's population will be reduced by about 2 billion." Zhang Yao is sitting in the base she built by herself. Surrounded by birds, flowers, and sunshine, it looks like a small park.
"How much did this place cost you?"
Brother Zhang raised his head and glanced a few times: "What's going on with that sun?"
How can I describe this place? They are sitting in a small pavilion, surrounded by small bridges and flowing water. Various spring flowers are filled with fragrance, and there are various birds, butterflies and small insects flying. There are hanging in the sky
The sun is shining warmly, and there are fish jumping in the lake not far ahead, which is full of life.
"Artificial sun."
Zhang Yao took out the remote control and pressed it, and the sun went out in a flash. Pressing it again, a bright moon rose into the sky, and the stars and the Milky Way twinkled all over the sky. It was so beautiful.
"I haven't taken you around yet." Zhang Yao pressed the remote control again, and the sun rose again.
Brother Zhang shook his head, and then started walking with Zhang Yao.
This ecological park is built on an artificial island, covering an area of about 2,700 square kilometers. It has its own complete ecological system. The sunrise and sunset, wind, thunder, rain and snow are all man-made.
There are distinct seasons and cycles inside the large glass cover.
This is the place where Zhang Yao used to cultivate seeds. As for how much money it cost, it goes without saying. Why was Niu Niu drained? Wasn’t it because Zhang Yao wanted a lot of money to do these weird things? Anyway, that’s it.
Well, the cost of one square kilometer is 17.8 billion. The whole set plus the annual maintenance fee is almost as much as the GDP of a small country. If it weren't for the fact that most of the materials were picked up by Zhang Yao from the adaptive warehouse.
When it came out, the reactor alone was already a sky-high price product.
This place is awesome. It's stormy and rainy outside with dozens of degrees below zero, but inside it's as warm as spring and drizzling like silk. And you can switch the four seasons at will according to your needs. If you want winter, it's winter, and if you want summer, it's summer. The perfect ecosystem guarantees this place.
Even if it is completely isolated from the outside world, as long as it does not experience a disaster that can bring the earth back to five billion years ago, it can still leave a seed for the world after the calm.
"Marine life is stronger than we thought. It's just that the animals and plants on land may suffer. However, I have retained some species here. At least the ecology can be restored quickly. And the mountain of Dawutong is not the same, isn't it?
, I think the species above are rich enough.”
Brother Zhang visited her ecosystem under Zhang Yao's introduction. Although he didn't understand it, he had to admire Zhang Yao's ability to act. She was really working silently. In a sense, she was in this ecosystem.
Times may be more useful than the Twelve Spirits, which are really only suitable as mascots now.
"Can I fish here?"
"sure!"
Then Brother Zhang started fishing, because there is really no place to fish now...
At this moment, Chang'an Lane is once again covered in snow. Why do I say it again? Because it had already snowed once when Apocalypse 4DK appeared last time, but it was nothing compared to this time. If it is 100 now
...No, even now it is a crisis of world destruction, but there seems to be a cause and effect between heaven and earth. When the flood destroyed the world, it was the Shanhai Realm that came out to save the city, and now it is still the Shanhai Realm that stands up.
Regarding this, Qing Lingzi really couldn't figure out what that idiot Bai Ze was thinking about? He had been poisoned by eating shit in the Shanhai Realm for so many years, right? The human world and the Shanhai Realm are obviously natural allies, why should they go there?
What about artificial separation?
However, Chang'an Lane looks covered in snow from the outside, but if you walk in, you will find that there is no snow at all inside. The canopy of the big sycamore tree has covered the entire Chang'an Lane overnight, and heavy snow has covered the big sycamore trees.
, then flows along its branches to the ground, and is discharged along the drainage ditch.
It's -2℃ outside and 27℃ inside Chang'an Lane. There are a lot of little ghosts running around in vests, and the wind and snow dare not intrude on the place sheltered by the sycamore trees.
But things are different outside the archway. The snow outside is already up to the calves. This is Baa City... You can imagine what other places are like already.
It was windy and snowy outside, but it was warm and pleasant in the alley. The old man sitting at the entrance of the alley was drinking tea and frowning. Even he who usually likes to play with his children now looked a little worried.
The small restaurant is open normally, but not many people come. Firstly, the weather is bad and Chang'an Alley is wet. Secondly, most people in Chang'an Alley have gone to participate in disaster relief. The most important thing now is not food but
Rescue trapped people, because older houses in the south are not designed to prevent snow, so collapse has become a normal occurrence, requiring a large number of rescuers to rescue people.
If the strangers in the alleys of Chang'an Alley are not dispatched at this time, when will they be dispatched? So they set up a rescue team of their own and wandered around the city, poaching people everywhere.
Xu Wei sat behind the window, holding her chin and looking at the scene outside. Through the gaps in the big trees, he could see the gray sky and the wind and snow outside. She didn't know when the snow would stop, but she
It seemed that it snowed so much in the first winter after she came here.
It has been more than ten years in a flash...
Thinking about how she was deceived by online dating back then, she felt dumbfounded.
"Hello."
Dahuang's unique rough voice startled her: "Make me cat rice."
Xu Wei hummed: "When do you think this snow will stop?"
Dahuang squatted on the table and licked his lips: "I think it would be better if I added some world-destroying plague to it?"
Xu Wei didn't answer it, but just came to the stove and started to cook cat rice for it. However, her cat rice contained not only bonito, but also beef slices, bone broth and tuna seasoned with olive oil and salt.
Mi.
First spread the bonito crumbs on the hot rice, then cover it with a few slices of tender beef, slowly pour it with boiling bone broth, and finally put two spoons of surimi and a few drops of soy sauce, one serving
Xu Wei’s version of cat rice is ready yet simple but full of flavor.
Not only do people like to eat rhubarb, many people would come from far away to eat a bowl of cat rice. If it can be paired with a serving of wasabi octopus, it will be simply delicious.
"When I went to the meeting, they said this was a world-ending disaster." Xu Wei said with some worry: "But I don't know what to do. It seems like I am a useless person."
"You are useful, why are you useless? Without you, who will cook for me?" Dahuang raised his head and said, "You are so important, what else is there to say?"
