Chapter 2 Rat plague(2/2)
It rains, it rains, it rains continuously.
Most people face these three kinds of emotional changes——
It doesn’t matter → a little annoyed → starting to panic
Continuous heavy rains are only a phenomenon during abnormal climate periods. Sometimes they are caused by continuous drought or abnormally hot or cold temperatures.
When a person takes a shower, adjusting the shower up or down by one degree Celsius can cause a cold sensation, and an increase in body temperature by one degree Celsius will cause obvious discomfort, not to mention those who are more sensitive to temperature changes.
Sustained temperature anomalies are undoubtedly catastrophic for certain populations. If they cannot survive, they will have to wait for extinction.
Climate anomalies also have a huge impact on agriculture.
During those two decades, for the first time in history, seed banks were opened globally.
“Doomsday Seed Vaults” established by various countries have been opened one after another.
Under the stimulation of survival, new corresponding technologies rapidly innovated, and human life quickly stabilized.
However, species around the world are still going extinct at a rate that makes biologists bald.
Tens of thousands of species appear on extinction files every year, and the rate continues to increase.
Evolution and extinction are the laws of ecological balance, but this rate of extinction is simply a harbinger of disaster and can send chills down people's backs.
Scientists from the world's top universities have expressed their opinions, and there are many supporters of the "turning point theory of the sixth mass extinction"——
[At least five mass extinctions have occurred in geological history. Previously, we have been in the early stages of the sixth mass extinction, and now, we are likely to be at an inflection point. Whether to avoid the sixth mass extinction or move towards the middle stage of extinction will be determined by
Data to prove.]
Thus, the "Sixth Database" was established.
Due to the rapid extinction rate of species and the sharp decline in biodiversity, the "Sixth Database" also needs to collect data. This is a major matter of survival. Various countries have "Wildlife Protection Laws", "Plant Protection Laws", "Ecological Environment Protection Laws", etc.
All relevant laws and regulations have been revised, and new regulatory organizations have been established.
The newly revised series of laws and regulations are also known as "the most stringent protection laws in history."
Fortunately, after the climate anomaly lasted for nearly two decades, it finally returned to the normal range, but the sixth database did not provide a conclusion.
Data needs to continue to be collected, and the strictest protection law will continue to be in effect until conclusions are drawn.
Perhaps the conclusion of the sixth database will have to wait for decades or hundreds of years.
Has the abnormal climate period really passed? Or is it just getting ready?
No one knows.
However, with the "Sixth Database", even if there is another abnormal climate period, we will get early warning and prepare for it in advance.
However, for most ordinary people, it doesn’t matter!
As long as there are no instantaneous disasters such as meteorites, even if it turns out that we are indeed in the sixth mass extinction period, humankind will not be wiped out so quickly.
We may not be able to see any progress in the sixth database in this lifetime, let alone an extinction period that may last for thousands of years or even longer.
If you have time to think about so much, you might as well think about what to wear tomorrow, whether there are any new games, where to eat, drink, have fun and buy...
Or think about how to deal with "should I buy a house or rent a house with this salary?", "how much money can I save to travel with the whole family", "the teacher at the child's school called the parents again"...
Extinction periods and other things, those are things that big people need to worry about, but they are too far away for ordinary people.
Although I feel a little regretful that I can no longer eat some delicacies and have to give up some hobbies, I still live my life as usual.
Feng Yi was born in the year when the climate returned to normal.
Older people always say that he was born at a good time.
Feng Yi didn't know whether it was a good time or not. Like him, there were many young people who had not experienced the abnormal climate period. They had not felt the various anxieties of the abnormal climate period, but they had felt the chaos in the food chain caused by the destruction of ecological balance.
Such as rat plague.
It's more than overrun by cockroaches and mosquitoes.
Natural enemies languish during periods of abnormal climate, and these tenacious creatures become increasingly rampant.
Feng Yi refreshed his social media platform and saw that a certain celebrity made remarks that were too extreme for a public figure——
"If you deserve to die, you will die. If you don't deserve to die, you will die."
The accompanying picture is a photo of a cockroach being photographed with a slipper.
