Volcanoes on the earth have been erupting continuously for three months. Although they are erupting continuously, many volcanoes are actually erupting intermittently when they erupt magma and gas. The reason why it lasts for three months is because of the eruption.
Three months later, the activity of these volcanoes had slowed down and finally stopped erupting. Even though the volcanoes were still active, the number of eruptions had also decreased.
At this time, spring has arrived in the Northern Hemisphere. Unfortunately, even in spring, there is still a chilly atmosphere everywhere. The temperature on the ground has not only not increased, but is also decreasing, and the sky is covered with a layer of gray-black fog.
If you want to see far away, it is simply impossible for everyone to wear masks on their faces. Some people think that one layer of masks is not enough, so they wear three or four layers.
The reason for this situation is not that uncontrollable viruses or bacteria have appeared in the population, but that people need to be on guard against possible volcanic ash at any time. Volcanic ash is settling in almost most parts of Asia, and when the volcanic ash is inhaled
In the future, it will cause irreversible damage to the lungs, so everyone should wear a mask to be on the safe side to avoid inhaling these dusts and making their future even more miserable.
Although it is already autumn, in China, whether in the south or the north, there is a chilling scene of ice and snow. There is ice and snow everywhere. At this time, the ice and snow on the ground have already melted.
It's a pity that the ice and snow have no tendency to melt now.
This is because after the global volcanic eruption, a large amount of sulfur dioxide and acidic gases have been released. After the acidic gases are released, the temperature in the air plummets, and the overwhelming volcanic ash can block the sunlight, preventing direct sunlight.
Directly shining on the ground, a lot of energy on the earth's surface comes directly from sunlight. It can be said that without sunlight, both humans and other animals will die, because without light, plants cannot carry out photosynthesis.
There is no smile on everyone's face, because many people have been without food for a long time. They want to find food, but unfortunately there is no food left, so they can only wander on the street. If they see any food
If it appears in front of you, no matter what it is, you must snatch it into your hands.
In fact, there have been several acid rains in China. When these acid rains fall on the ground, they will burn people's skin. After all, these are acidic liquids. If they fall on the body, they will begin to corrode human skin. However, humans can at least
Hiding in the house only needs to avoid the attack of acid rain. In fact, the skin will only be slightly red and swollen, and it will not cause much damage. What really causes the greatest harm is the impact of acid rain on crops.
The growth conditions of crops are very harsh. If the pH of the soil changes, then these crops will soon die. But after countless acid rain fell in the sky, people discovered that these acids really affect the growth of crops.
, large areas of crops have died, and they will not survive the arrival of summer at all. In the further north, the entire ground is a piece of ice, with no sign of melting. In this case, the crops have already been frozen to death.
.
"What kind of world is this? Why don't good people live long? Does God really want to destroy us humans? How can we survive without food now?" Someone said sadly.
"Don't be too pessimistic. I believe there will be a way to deal with it. We can grow crops in vegetable greenhouses and use electric lights as light sources for illumination. In this way, the temperature will be there and the light will be there. There is no need to worry about the outside world.
Acid rain can definitely help grow crops." Although they knew that the current situation was very dangerous, there were still people trying to comfort the people around them at this time.
Many cities had no food in stock and were counting on harvesting winter wheat after winter passed. Unfortunately, a violent volcanic eruption made people's ideas come to nothing, because they found that even harvesting wheat was no longer possible because wheat was still not available.
They all froze to death before the grain filling period. At this time, it is impossible to obtain food. As for those cities with food, they dare not relax their control over food, because once they lose food, they will
Lost the ability to stabilize people's hearts.
Even all the time
In Yuzhou, where food is stored, food is now too scarce. Even ordinary corn rice is no longer sustainable. Many people need to go to the wild to dig wild vegetables or peel tree bark to satisfy their hunger.
After Shen Feng returned to Yuzhou, he immediately ordered people to act quickly and build enough greenhouses to plant crops. Unfortunately, it is not easy to build enough greenhouses in a hurry. Even if there are
Plastic film is not easy to build if you have land. The limited resources determine that the construction cannot be completed immediately.
Shen Feng learned from Lin Yue's information that there was already a lot of resentment among the people. They all seemed to be resentful and had not been able to eat enough recently, so they all wanted to break out into protests now.
"If our food supply is not sufficient, the people below will definitely make trouble, and then things will really go wrong." Lin Yue replied.
"This matter is simple. If you want to solve the food crisis, you must have a place to grow food. The only vegetable greenhouses now have very limited output. In this case, if you want to establish a food production system, it is completely
It's impossible!" Shen Feng said in an annoyed mood.
Shen Feng naturally knows the importance of food, so he has been hoarding food. Unfortunately, the previous war consumed a lot of resources, especially food. The war was a bottomless pit. I don’t know how much food was put into the war.
As a result, a large amount of stored grain has been consumed, and now the grain has to be supplied to a large number of people, so the grain in his hands seems to be stretched thin.
"City Lord, I once heard the news that there was once a researcher from the Academy of Sciences who was able to use carbon dioxide to synthesize starch. If this technology could be obtained, wouldn't there be no need for famine anymore? After all, the carbon dioxide content in the air is still very high.
High!" Lin Yue suddenly thought of this thing.
"This is simple to say. The technology that can use carbon dioxide to synthesize starch has indeed been developed, but do you know how much energy it consumes? I don't know how much electricity is consumed to produce that gram of starch. Instead of
Instead of consuming energy and using carbon dioxide to synthesize starch, it is better to use this energy for lighting, which can also make the crops in the greenhouse grow better!" After hearing this suggestion, Shen Feng immediately sneered at the suggestion, obviously not very satisfied with it.
Want to trust this technology.
Shen Feng has also heard that scientists can use carbon dioxide to synthesize starch. This technology is also a representative of the modern era. Human beings can fix carbon dioxide in the air without relying on crops. In the future, they can even sail in the stars. Using this technology, but this technology is not mature yet, to synthesize one gram of starch requires a huge amount of energy.
Shen Feng is now having a headache. He wants to ask for help to buy grain from other places, but this idea is simply unrealistic because his two largest buyers have already suffered heavy losses. The first is in the northeast, Changbai Mountain. The volcano has erupted, so large areas around it have been buried in volcanic ash, and countless crops have died. Southeast Asia is the hardest hit area. Almost no humans have escaped from there, and it is even more difficult to cultivate land there. impossible.
As for other cities, even if they have some grain in hand, they dare not sell it now, because everyone knows that food is the foundation. Whether they can survive this ice age in the future can only depend on the grain in hand. Isn't that enough?
Not to mention that it is already very miserable in China, people in other areas are even more miserable, because the number of people in these other places is so small, and many places have lost their basic production capacity. Now there is volcanic ash everywhere, and the global air It suddenly became colder, and people in other countries had already collapsed, unable to form an effective organization at all. In some places, people even started cannibalism. This was not an isolated case, but the situation in most areas.
The most tragic among them is the Lighthouse Country. The Yellowstone Volcano here is also a super volcano. After an instant eruption, it formed a level 7 volcanic eruption. A large amount of volcanic ash covered the sky and the sun, completely destroying the western region, and the eastern region has also been affected. Severely hit, countless people flocked to the eastern region, and countless food production bases around the Great Lakes region have also suffered devastating blows. Now there is also a famine.
, a large number of rich people took boats south to reach Central America, because the climate here is warmer and they can barely grow crops without starving to death here.
Next, what is even more miserable is Europe and island countries.
Europe is originally a small country with few people. These countries can unite together when facing danger, but when they face real natural disasters, they still have to fight alone, so in the end, they also tightened up The food in hand is left to be fed by the people under the hand, but they dare not provide disaster relief at all, because as long as disaster relief is provided, the food will be robbed in an instant.
As for the island country, this is originally a country formed by volcanoes. There are mountains everywhere and areas where food can be grown, that is, around the island.
As a result, two or three volcanoes here erupted together. Among them, the eruption of Mount Fuji was the most violent. People in the entire Tokyo area could not see the sun. Moreover, the volcano would fall and kill 90% of the people. The remaining people would not dare to After staying for a long time, everyone had fled. This prosperous and international city was eventually destroyed by the volcano.
This time, I don’t know how many countries are extinguishing fires due to volcanic eruptions. The whole world is on the verge of collapse, especially humans. The organizational ability of mankind has been severely hit, because without food, such people cannot organize. of.
However, although mankind has suffered a disaster, there is still good news, because the ancient sky where the volcano erupted was full of volcanic ash. When the volcanic eruption was the most violent, you could not see the sun at all when you looked up.
Can see the sky full of red
Colorful clouds, and black snowflakes are still falling. In this case, the sunlight exposure suddenly decreases, so the plants on the earth are also severely affected, especially these mutated cyanobacteria on the sea. In an instant, a large number of
Cyanobacteria are already in a state of extinction.
Originally, the impact caused by the mutation of these bugs on the earth was already unbearable, but now a large number of cyanobacteria on the earth have disappeared, so the ability to produce oxygen has been greatly reduced. Soon, the oxygen concentration on the earth dropped.
It is gradually declining, and the drop in oxygen concentration directly prevents the insects from continuing to increase in size.
The body structure of insects has a very fatal flaw, that is, these insects have no lung structure. Their breathing relies on the tracheal system, and the respiratory capacity of their tracheal system is relatively weak. As long as they are soaked in water for a while, many
All bugs will be killed, so just like locusts, many bugs hate water very much, and whether their size can increase depends on the air.
The oxygen concentration in the air has increased. When the oxygen concentration on the earth drops, the oxygen that these bugs can obtain will further decrease. In other words, these bugs that are mutating now have reached a dead end. Even if they continue to mutate, they will not be able to obtain enough oxygen.
Oxygen can only suffocate to death in the end. If it is going to survive, it can only continue to mutate and become as small as possible.
No one thought that the crisis of these bugs on the earth was not solved by human beings, but by the earth itself, because a volcanic eruption directly caused a large number of plants on the earth to begin to die, so the oxygen concentration further dropped, and eventually countless
Insects can only keep shrinking in size, otherwise they will not survive.
