Chapter 19 The Rise of Technology and the Decline of Abilities
The day after Zhou Heng blew up the lunar facility.
Today, as usual, there are still all kinds of disputes. Although it is more restrained at home, dead people are still commonplace abroad.
As the most profitable industry, post-disaster reconstruction companies are still having a busy day today.
Li Ran is an ordinary employee of Yida, the largest disaster reconstruction real estate company in China.
Normally, he would be on the construction site cleaning up the buildings destroyed by the fight between the superpowers.
But today I stayed in the company and there was no movement.
"Hey Lao Wang." Li Ran asked the colleague beside him.
"Usually, we should be at the construction site by now. What's going on today? Those people with superpowers have modified themselves and won't demolish the house?"
"You still don't know?" Lao Wang glanced at Li Ran somewhat differently.
"What do you know?" Li Ran wondered: "I drank too much last night and came to the company early this morning. I don't know anything. What happened?"
You don’t know yet? Things have turned upside down outside.”
"I don't know why, but since yesterday, the energy density of dark matter in the air has continued to decrease. Just last night, the density dropped by one-tenth."
"And the rate is still increasing."
"Judging from the current trend, it won't be long before all the dark matter energy in the world will disappear."
"So serious?!" Li Ran was shocked.
"So let alone fighting, even maintaining daily consumption has become very difficult. Who is still in the mood to fight?"
"Deserves it." After listening to his colleague's explanation, Li Ran not only didn't panic, but also felt a little happy.
"Let those with superpowers stay on top all day long. Let's see if they are panicking now. It would be best if all the dark matter energy disappears. Let's see if they are still arrogant." Li Ran gloated.
Li Ran once had a happy family, but his wife was seriously injured in a fight between superpowers and was hospitalized. She still has to take medicine every day.
From then on, Li Ran hated all people with powers.
He is just an ordinary person who has not awakened his powers, so who would care about him as a little person.
"Okay, okay, stop talking, or you'll get angry." The colleague quickly covered Li Ran's mouth, fearing that someone would overhear what he said again.
Although he was secretly happy, Li Ran knew the seriousness and did not say anything nonsense.
outside world.
The real situation is more serious than Lao Wang knew.
The reduction of dark matter energy not only reduces the number of battles, but also a greater disaster is taking shape.
Because of long-term absorption of dark matter energy, most superpowers have become addicted to dark matter energy.
Originally, dark matter would not show anything when the energy was sufficient, and no one would study this.
But now that the energy density of dark matter is gradually decreasing, this problem has exploded collectively.
The first ones to be affected are the largest number of D-level psychics.
Because they have the most difficulty absorbing dark matter energy.
In the past, it was more difficult to absorb dark matter energy. Now, the density has only dropped by one-tenth, and there are a large number of D-level superpowers who are addicted because they cannot absorb enough dark matter energy.
The internal organs in the body feel as if they are being eaten by millions of ants.
Since last night, a large number of seizure patients have been sent to hospitals for treatment, causing hospitals around the world to be overwhelmed instantly.
But the more serious problem is that the vast majority of doctors in the hospital are medical superpowers.
Under the attack of addiction, even oneself has too much time to take care of himself, and there is no time to treat patients.
Not just hospitals, but all industries, without exception, have been affected.
Fortunately, because he is a low-level psychic, his dependence on dark matter energy is not deep enough. After an attack, his body can recover except being weak for a while.
In addition, the good news is that because of Tang Qingqing’s warning in advance, there was no chaos at the national level.
At the beginning of the turmoil, state machinery was activated to treat those affected.
…
Dark Matter Energy and Outer Space Research Institute.
This is a department dedicated to studying the dark matter energy of the universe.
It was originally an informal department jointly established by several research institutes with common interests in the Dark Matter Energy Research Institute.
But after Zhou Heng destroyed the equipment on the moon, the original informal department became regular overnight and expanded.
"So, is there any way to slow down the escape of dark matter energy?"
Inside the institute, all the leaders stared at Director Zhang Jie of the institute.
Director Zhang took the latest report and said bitterly: "No, the escape speed of dark matter energy is still accelerating. Our original dark matter energy distribution model now seems to be wrong."
"Although dark matter is widely distributed in the universe, it is not dense enough to be directly absorbed by the human body."
"The report of alien civilization on the moon that we received before should be true."
"Without the supplement of dark matter energy from the moon, the dark matter energy on the blue star begins to escape from the blue star in large quantities."
"In the next month, the dark matter energy density of the blue star will drop to the average density in the solar system."
"Is there no way to stop it?" A leader frowned.
The director shook his head: "There is no way, at least there is no way now."
