Chapter 1617 DI element, the real culprit behind zombies and natural disasters
To the right of Sanqing Temple is the viewing platform.
The observation deck is located at a higher position on the entire hill, higher than the outer city wall.
From this position, you can overlook the scenes in the outer city and buffer city.
After Li Yu learned from Mr. Hu that Qingyuan was at the observation deck, he walked to the observation deck from the gate of Sanqing Temple.
As we passed through a winding path, pine needles from the pine trees on the roadside occasionally fell down, causing a stinging sensation on people's bodies.
But at this moment, Li Yu could no longer care about the feeling of pine needles falling on his body. He just wanted to find out how long the drought would last? What was going on with the clouds in the sky?
He had too many doubts that he wanted to figure out.
After crossing the path, the front suddenly opened up. In a wide open space, there was a tall Taoist priest wearing a Hunyuan Dao bun with his back to them, standing at the edge of the viewing platform.
The gentle breeze blew up the broad robe of Priest Qingyuan and fluttered in the wind.
"Taoist Priest Qingyuan." Li Yu shouted from behind.
Qingyuan heard the voice behind him and turned his head. Qingyuan, who had always been calm, now looked a little solemn.
There were dark clouds covering the space between his eyebrows, and he looked worried.
"City Lord."
Qingyuan bowed towards Li Yu and saluted.
After Li Yu saw his solemn expression, his heart skipped a beat.
Come closer.
"What's wrong? Priest Qingyuan, you look a little worried."
Taoist Priest Qingyuan said with some disappointment: "I was wrong. City Lord, do you still remember the little poem I told you at the beginning?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
"Thunderstorms clear the sea and there are no waves
The water of Jiuqu Yellow River is not yellow
Disaster caused by alien objects from the sky
Proclaiming himself emperor, king and unifying
There is still an evil star lurking in the northwest
I can’t sing the song of peace everywhere.”
"What's wrong with this little poem?"
Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said:
"I originally thought that the opportunity for the end of this majestic apocalypse would be in the northwest, but now it seems that I was wrong. Even if the problem in the northwest is solved, the song of peace will still not be sung."
"The key point is that extraterrestrial objects cause disaster, which means that some things from extraterrestrial places will cause some unknown changes and disasters."
"Then what?" Li Yu asked urgently.
Qingyuan pointed to the accumulated clouds in the distance and said:
"I used the qi-gazing technique to observe the clouds, but I couldn't understand the clouds. This scene was completely inconsistent with all the situations recorded in the qi-gazing technique."
Li Yu frowned and asked:
"I just saw something strange about the clouds, and it hasn't rained for four months. I would like to ask Taoist Master Qingyuan to divine when will this severe drought be over?"
Qingyuan looked at the clouds in the distance with a wry smile, shook his head and said:
"Man has a thousand calculations, but God has one calculation."
"I dare not calculate all the hexagrams, because the world is unpredictable. The sky is unpredictable, the earth is irreversible, and human events are unpredictable."
"There is a disaster coming from the sky. This alien thing has changed too much. There is no need to calculate it anymore. Before the city lord came to me, I divined a hexagram. The hexagrams were incomprehensible. I can no longer understand or understand this.
everything."
When Li Yu heard Qingyuan once again say there was a disaster coming from the sky, he thought of a possibility guessed by Ma Di and the meteorologist.
There is not only one extraterrestrial meteorite in this world, but the meteorite in the northwest cannot have such a big impact on the weather.
In addition to the one in the northwest, there are likely to be other extraterrestrial meteorites, and they may be very large.
It is most likely that these meteorites have caused the continuous natural disasters since the end of the world.
Meteorites are also the cause of zombie outbreaks.
Now it seems that if we want to end the zombies, we must get the meteorite from the northwest.
To restore normal climate and weather, we must find all extraterrestrial meteorites.
They know where the meteorite in the northwest is, but what about the other meteorites?
Li Yu felt a little depressed when he thought about all this.
In this apocalyptic world, it is not only zombies that are terrifying, but also endless natural disasters.
Five years before the end of the world, he relied on his foresight to successfully lead the Da Zhangshu Base to avoid many natural disasters and gradually develop and grow.
Qingyuan had predicted natural disasters several times, and he originally thought that he could still rely on him in the future to make up for his loss of the advantage of rebirth.
However, Qingyuan now tells himself that he can't figure it out!
The thick cumulus clouds in the sky have evaporated so much water that the water droplets in the clouds should have fallen long ago.
But, it just doesn’t rain!
Science cannot explain it.
Metaphysics can no longer be explained.
Li Yu was silent, and Qing Yuan next to him was silent as well.
Half a moment.
Li Yu was a little unwilling, so he asked again for confirmation:
"Taoist Master Qingyuan, how long do you think this drought will last? What consequences will the clouds in the sky have?"
Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said:
"Forgive me for my incompetence. I have tried all kinds of methods. No matter whether it is gas reading or divination, I can't explain it. But from the original little poem, I think it is still the line about alien things causing disaster.
, the most critical thing, is most likely the root cause of all this."
What he said was not much different from what Ma Di and others guessed.
It's nothing more than a meteorite from the sky.
But where is it!?
No solution.
"Okay." Li Yu sighed.
He felt inexplicably powerless.
The reason why the development of Da Zhangshu Base was suppressed before was because of the uncertainty of natural disasters.
In the years before his rebirth, he had seen many large and medium-sized forces collapse, the most important reason being natural disasters.
The larger the base, the greater the impact it will suffer from natural disasters.
If you cannot survive the natural disaster, you may be destroyed.
The natural disaster at this stage is already obvious, it is drought.
I just don't know how long it will last.
I don’t know if other natural disasters will break out after the drought ends.
But Li Yu was reborn, and with the experience of his previous life, he already had 11 years of experience in the apocalypse.
In the past few years, he has led the Da Zhangshu base to continuously raise the walls and strengthen the defense.
And in the past few years, he did not dare to develop vigorously, but he just found a correct development path.
Stable food production - solid base defense - constantly collecting various useful materials - absorbing the population and digesting it.
At the Da Zhangshu base, he even maintained a planned economy, but he was worried that the pace would be too fast, which would lead to many uncertainties.
After so many years of natural disasters, they have rich experience in resisting natural disasters.
They all made it through fine.
We have continuously improved our defense system and have experience in facing typhoons, heavy rains, floods, locust plagues, extreme cold and heat, volcanic eruptions, polar nights, magnetic storms...
Even if there are wall-climbing zombies appearing behind, even if there is no ultraviolet light, they can still solve the problem by moving the gate knife.
He couldn't figure out what the cumulus clouds in the sky would cause.
When he couldn't figure something out, he would talk to someone and bounce ideas around.
Qingyuan seemed to have no other useful information for the time being. After thinking about it again and again, Li Yu thought that he could talk to Ma Di and meteorologist Song Zhihong.
"Taoist Priest Qingyuan, I'm leaving first. If you have any latest ideas, you can contact me directly."
Qingyuan nodded and clasped his fists: "Okay, City Lord."
Li Yu turned around and walked towards Sanqing Temple.
Qingyuan looked at Li Yu's leaving figure, stretched out his fingers, and after calculating for a long time without a clue, he smiled bitterly.
well.......
.......
Li Yu rode a small electric donkey, got off the Sanqing Temple, and hurried to the Zombie Research Institute. Opposite the Zombie Research Institute, there is also a Natural Disaster Research Institute, formerly the Meteorological Institute.
But later, experts and professors from the southwest joined, and experts from the north also integrated.
Some geologists, zoologists, botanists, astronomers, physicists, chemists, and other experts from various fields were integrated to form the Natural Disaster Research Institute.
These two research institutes have gathered the wisdom of the most highly educated talents in the Da Zhangshu Base.
Li Yu parked the eDonkey outside the Zombie Research Institute.
The Ministry of Science and Technology has four branches:
Zombie Research Institute, Natural Disaster Research Institute, Physical and Chemical Engineering Institute, and Military Industry Research Institute.
The minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology is Bai Jie, and the deputy minister is He Bing, the director of the Military Industry Research Institute.
After Bai Jie became the minister, Ma Di was put in charge of the Zombie Research Institute, but it was under Bai Jie's control.
He took the lead in entering the Zombie Research Institute. Although Bai Jie served as the Minister of Science and Technology, she mainly stayed here.
As soon as Li Yu entered the Zombie Research Institute, he met Xiaolan, who was wearing white overalls. She was passing through the aisle with a stack of documents and caught sight of Li Yu.
"City Lord."
Li Yu stopped when he saw Xiaolan.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Inform Bai Jie and Ma Di and ask them to come to the Natural Disaster Research Institute opposite for a meeting later."
"Ah? Okay." Xiaolan was stunned for a few seconds, then nodded and replied.
Xiaolan has always been a bit silly and does things slowly.
Ever since the apocalypse broke out, she has been following Bai Jie.
After joining the Da Zhangshu Base, she has been staying at the Zombie Research Institute. Except for going out to observe the migration of zombies at close range and other related research on zombies, she has almost never left the Da Zhangshu Base.
To be precise, she basically has three points and one line, residence, research institute, and canteen.
After Li Yu finished explaining, he turned around and walked towards the Natural Disaster Research Institute opposite.
The current number of people in the Natural Disaster Research Institute has reached 38, gathering talents from various disciplines.
There are many independent small research institutes under the Natural Disaster Research Institute, which are divided into different categories. On the one hand, they can study the subjects they study, and on the other hand, they can integrate and study natural disasters together.
Don't delay either.
As soon as he entered the Natural Disaster Research Institute, he saw Zhao Ruyi in the hall.
"Hello, City Lord." Zhao Ruyi held an astronomical telescope in his hand and said to Li Yu.
"Let everyone stop what they are doing for a while and have a small meeting in the big conference room."
"Okay." Although Zhao Ruyi was a little confused, he still didn't ask.
Li Yu pushed open the conference room door of the Natural Disaster Research Institute.
The walls in the conference room are surrounded by whiteboards, making it easy for researchers to write down their ideas on them during discussions.
Li Yu noticed the advancement table written on the whiteboard next to the door.
It clearly states various anomalies about the recent drought, as well as research progress.
However, most of the research has left blanks at the end.
It seems like we are all stuck at a certain node.
Just as Li Yu was quietly looking at the words on the whiteboard, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
The people who came in were not people from the Natural Disaster Research Institute, but Bai Jie and Ma Di.
After the two of them received Xiaolan's notice, they immediately handed over the matters at hand to other researchers.
"City Lord."
"City Lord."
"Well, sit down." Li Yu nodded.
He looked away from the whiteboard and walked to the seat at the top.
"City Lord, do you have anything to do with us?" Bai Jie asked.
"Have you seen the accumulating clouds outside?" Li Yu asked rhetorically.
Bai Jie and Ma Di looked at each other, and they naturally saw it.
It's just that... there is a backlog of water droplets in the clouds. This matter has not been studied until now.
Bai Jie said:
"Yesterday, we entrusted the captain of the helicopter brigade, Mr. Bi, to send people to fly helicopters and take a group of natural disaster researchers to fly at high altitudes to study the clouds in the sky at close range."
"And conduct sampling research. Song Zhihong and others are probably busy with this now."
"Yeah." Li Yu nodded.
He didn't know about this. After all, he was the city lord, so he couldn't possibly know everything about the base.
At this moment, dense footsteps came from outside the conference room.
The conference room door was pushed open, and Song Zhihong took the lead, followed by dozens of expert researchers.
"City Lord."
"minister."
When Song Zhihong saw Li Yu and his immediate boss Bai Jie, he quickly spoke.
"You took a helicopter up to study the clouds. What are the results?" Li Yu asked directly what he wanted to ask without any prelude.
Song Zhihong was stunned and said with some surprise:
"We were still studying in the research room just now, and we were still discussing this matter when we came to the conference room."
"We conducted sampling research at different altitudes: 1,000 meters, 4,000 meters, and 6,000 meters."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Generally speaking, the height of medium clouds is between 2000-8000 meters. They are composed of a mixture of tiny water droplets, ice crystals or snow crystals, which can produce continuous clouds.
Precipitation. Low clouds are below 2,000 meters in height and are composed of tiny water droplets, usually producing thundershowers.”
"But!"
Song Zhihong changed the subject and said with a frown:
"After sampling and close observation, we found that the water droplets in the clouds have become lighter!"
"This is unreasonable and unusual!"
"Then we conducted research on water droplets sampled from clouds and found that these water droplets contained a lot of DI elements, far exceeding the DI elements currently in natural water sources."
Li Yu knows this DI element, which was discovered and proposed by Ma Di.
This element is exactly what is contained in meteorites, and it is used as the core trace element in making anti-cancer needles.
At the same time, this trace element is also the key to making zombie attracting potions.
Before the end of the world, there were a total of 118 known elements, and there were another 119,120 discovered unknown elements.
DI is the 121st unknown element discovered after the end of the world.
The properties and functions of this element are still under study.
Li Yu still remembered that Madi once told him about this element a long time ago.
It has been mentioned that this element is radioactive, but this trace amount of material will not affect the human body.
Li Yu asked:
"So, you are saying that the reason why there is no rain is because the DI element is too much in the water droplets in the clouds, and a large amount of this element causes the weight of the water droplets to decrease, resulting in no rainfall?"
"Yes, that's roughly what it means." Song Zhihong thought for a while and nodded.
