The Natural Disaster Research Institute is followed by dozens of experts from various disciplines.
Li Yu sat at the top position, stroking his chin and savoring what Song Zhihong said just now.
"Why do water droplets in clouds have so many DI elements?" Li Yu asked.
As the director of the Natural Disaster Research Institute, Song Zhihong is a meteorologist and knows the most about meteorology.
He opened his mouth and replied:
"According to Dean Madi's guess, he suspects that besides the northwest, there are other extraterrestrial meteorites scattered in other places."
"Our oceanographers and limnologists have concluded that there is only one possibility for the formation of global clouds, and that is that in addition to the meteorite in the northwest, other meteorites must have fallen into the ocean."
"The water in the ocean interacted with the meteorite. The weather has been hot recently, and a large amount of seawater has evaporated. The evaporated water vapor contains this DI element and flew into the air."
As soon as he finished speaking, Madi took over.
"If you put it this way, it makes sense, but if it fell into the ocean, with our current level of technology, it would be difficult to find the meteorite."
"In addition, when these meteorites fell into the ocean, there were hot weather before, and the water vapor evaporated into the sky. Why could it form rainfall before, but not now?"
Petrologist Liao Fan said:
"It used to rain normally. At that time, the DI element content in the water vapor was not high. The water droplets were affected by gravity and naturally formed rainfall."
"But this time, the DI element content in the water drops we sampled exceeded that of ordinary water."
"I am based on everyone's hypothesis just now: In addition to the northwest, there are a large number of other extraterrestrial meteorites falling into the ocean. Based on this premise, it can explain one thing."
"The extraterrestrial meteorite that fell in the ocean has recently had a greater reaction with seawater. In other words, in more popular terms, it is dissolving faster! This is why a large amount of DI elements are distributed in seawater."
Oceanographer Wu Nianchuan nodded and said: "Yes, I agree with this view..."
"When it's not raining, clouds thicken. When water vapor cools in the air and condenses into small water droplets, these droplets gather to form clouds. If these water droplets don't have enough gravity to fall to the ground, clouds will persist and may become
Thicker.”
"Clouds are formed when water vapor cools in the air and condenses into small water droplets, which come together to form the clouds we see.
When the mass of these water droplets increases to a certain level, they will fall due to gravity and form rain. If these water droplets do not fall to the ground enough, the clouds will persist and may become thicker.
The thickness of clouds will be affected by many factors, including temperature, humidity and air pressure. The higher the temperature, the higher the water vapor content in the air, and the clouds may be thicker.
In addition, the temperature of the troposphere decreases with altitude, which also contributes to the formation and thickening of clouds."
.......
In the conference room, each expert was talking about his or her own ideas.
It lasted for half an hour, and Li Yu felt a little dizzy.
He listened to the experts and scholars here putting forward hypotheses and conducting analyses, but the answer he wanted has not yet been answered.
Tuk Tuk——
He knocked on the table, and everyone stopped discussing and looked at Li Yu.
Li Yu took a deep breath and said:
"I have two questions. The first question is, how long will this drought last?"
"Second question, what problems will it cause if the clouds continue to accumulate?"
When everyone heard this, they stopped.
No one knows how to answer these two questions.
Others don't need to answer if they don't know, but Song Zhihong, as the director of the Natural Disaster Research Institute.
He must answer these two questions about natural disasters.
Song Zhihong thought for a moment and said:
"City Lord, we can't give you the answer to the first question you asked yet, but we probably know how to find out the answer."
"Our approach is to calculate the rainfall based on the gravity standard of water droplets falling, and reversely deduce the required thickness of the cloud layer..."
As soon as this statement came out.
Madi immediately retorted.
"No, Dean Song, the helicopter has already reached an altitude of 6,000 meters. This altitude is already the highest among mid-level clouds. According to normal principles, this will definitely produce continuous precipitation."
"If it weren't for the fact that helicopters cannot exceed an altitude of 6,000 meters, you can all go up to high-level clouds above 8,000 meters to sample and study. Perhaps the tiny ice crystals in the upper layers also contain a large amount of DI elements."
"We cannot use common sense to calculate it now, because the DI elements may have spread all over the middle, middle and low cloud layers, and the thickness calculation is inaccurate!"
...
The flying height of general armed helicopters is only three to four thousand meters, while military helicopters can only fly up to 6,000 meters.
The high clouds mentioned by Madi are generally above 8,000-13,000 meters high and are composed of tiny ice crystals. They usually do not produce precipitation, but they produce "snow flags."
The objection raised by Madi is obviously very reasonable.
After Song Zhihong listened, he didn't know how to refute for a while.
Li Yu listened a little impatiently. He didn't seem to understand what these experts and scholars said.
He wants answers!
But I couldn't give an answer.
"Since we can't answer the first question, what about the second question? What consequences might it have if the clouds are so thick?" Li Yu asked impatiently.
Song Zhihong hesitated for a few seconds and then said:
"There are two possible outcomes."
"Say." Li Yu knocked on the table. After entering the conference room for forty minutes, he was finally able to answer his question.
Song Zhihong's eyes were a little frightened, he swallowed and said:
"Judging from the current cloud thickness, if it doesn't rain for several years, when it reaches a critical value, there will probably be a super heavy rain, which may last longer than any previous heavy rain disaster."
"At that time, there will be super floods, which may submerge a lot of land area."
"A lot of land area? How many?" Li Yu asked with a frown.
"I don't know, I can't calculate." Song Zhihong replied awkwardly.
So vague!?
What are you doing!
Is it submerged below 50 meters above sea level, below 100 meters above sea level, below 200 meters above sea level, or how much?
Or is it that the whole world is flooded, the land disappears, and the whole world is an ocean?
Damn it!
Li Yu was a little irritated, why did Song Zhihong always tell him such vague answers?
TMD!
If it really floods all the land, then what a fool he is!
What’s the point of building these bases?
Humanity is all fucking dead!
That’s not right, then we still have to build a Noah’s Ark?
How to build Noah's Ark, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people?
The human and material resources required are an astronomical number that cannot be calculated.
And the most important thing is, this is just possible!
For a possibility, they have to change all current strategies, and even give up everything for future development, which is equivalent to starting all over again!
If you think about it, zombies can swim. If the whole world were to be submerged, what the hell would they do if they stayed on the boat?
The zombies are still strengthening, and with each heavy rain, the zombies evolve faster.
How are they doing...
Li Yu was really annoyed. This time he felt the pain of losing the advantage of foresight and rebirth.
The future is full of uncertainty, and he has no idea what natural disasters will break out in the future.
It is difficult to make decisions.
Really annoying.
Based on a small guess, the current changes for them are too great.
call--
Li Yu exhaled a breath and continued to ask: "What about the second possibility?"
Song Zhihong thought for a while and then said:
"The second possibility has a better impact, and that is if the earth continues to not rain.
After one month to three months, the clouds will continue to thicken and sunlight will be reflected in large quantities, causing the atmospheric temperature to drop. This may eventually lead to widespread blizzards around the world and complete freezing of the oceans!
This situation will last for a longer period of time because the snow will continue to strongly reflect sunlight and maintain the cold winter state!"
"The world is frozen?" Li Yu asked with a frown.
"Yes, this is probably the possibility. By then, the entire ocean may be frozen." Song Zhihong nodded.
clatter!
Li Yu put his elbows on the table and rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.
It was possible again. The answers Song Zhihong gave him were all possible.
There is an accurate answer within.
The world is frozen and the cold weather lasts for a long time.
Li Yu raised his head and asked: "You said the cold winter will last for a long time, how long? One month, one year, or ten years?"
Song Zhihong was a little nervous, with an expression on his face that made him cry:
"City Lord, we really can't be sure about this."
"The emergence of the DI element has led to many phenomena that cannot be explained by scientific common sense. Like so many natural disasters in recent years, none of them are in line with scientific principles."
"We have studied the natural disasters that have occurred in the past, but we have not found any patterns. They are very random..."
Li Yu couldn't hold himself any longer.
He laughed angrily.
But he understood Song Zhihong. After all, they couldn't deduce such unscientific things using the original logic.
I remembered that I went to Qingyuan just now, but there was no answer for him.
The people at the institute who are now looking for him have not been able to give him an accurate answer based on the evidence.
But at any rate, it gave him the possibility.
It was just these two possibilities that made him feel so sick!
Extremely painful!
Especially the first possibility.
The whole world is flooded, and zombies are able to strengthen in the rain.
What a joke!
What a struggle!
When that time comes, he just wants to say,
Destroy it quickly.
He can somewhat understand the psychological state of ordinary survivors. Before every natural disaster breaks out, they don't know what the next natural disaster will be.
He can also understand those survivors who have given up hope.
Because the fear of the unknown puts too much pressure on the soul.
What he is thinking about now is what to do next.
"City Lord." Song Zhihong saw the uncertain expression on Li Yu's face and knew that Li Yu was not in a good mood at the moment, but he still mustered up the courage to speak.
"explain."
Song Zhihong coughed twice and said:
"The two possibilities I mentioned are just based on pre-apocalyptic scientific logic and common sense thinking."
"Some of the natural disasters in the past were common sense, and some were not, so..."
"So what?" Li Yu looked at him with eyes that seemed to kill someone.
"So, the two possibilities I just mentioned may not happen. Maybe it will just be an ordinary heavy rain in a month or two, or..."
Li Yu stood up and stepped back, causing the stool under his butt to fall backwards.
To be honest, he had tolerated Song Zhihong for a long time!
He would have beaten people before him.
First, two possibilities of extremely serious consequences are given:
Then tell yourself that maybe it won't happen.
What the fuck!
Li Yu's chest rose and fell.
Bai Jie saw that Li Yu was angry, so she quickly got up and walked over to help Li Yu move his chair.
While saying to Li Yu:
"City Lord, don't be angry. Please sit down and drink some water first."
Under Bai Jie's gentle tone, Li Yu slowly sat down.
But he was still a little unhappy, unhappy with Song Zhihong's way of expressing himself.
Can't you just say it all at once?
A sudden surprise.
Bai Jie brought water to Li Yu, and Li Yu took a sip.
He took a long breath and said to Song Zhihong:
"Song Zhihong."
"The little one is here."
Grass!
Hear this little sentence.
Li Yu almost laughed out of anger.
"Report your thoughts later, finish it all at once, don't pause, focus on the key points!"
"Okay, City Lord." Song Zhihong said hurriedly.
He was mainly frightened by the research being discussed internally, so much so that he didn't know how to tell the city lord.
Li Yu nodded slightly and gradually calmed down.
There was a calm light shining in his eyes.
Since the reborn prophet is gone, Qingyuan can no longer divine.
Then, they can only rely on themselves.
The problem before them is actually drought.
It may be due to the influence of extraterrestrial meteorites. The clouds are now so thick and the sun is reflected. Logically speaking, the temperature will drop.
But what is unusual is that the temperature is still over 30 degrees.
This is absolutely unreasonable.
At such a high temperature, water vapor naturally continues to evaporate, and land water sources continue to decrease.
The next thing to fight against is drought.
They don't know how long the drought will last, so water storage is the first priority.
Now that the water plant has been built, what should be done next?
Suddenly, he figured out something.
That is to remain unchanged in response to all changes.
Since we are not sure what kind of natural disasters will break out in the future, we should make various preparations to continue their current construction and development.
If you don’t know what the future will bring, just do your best now.
Synchronize and enhance the existing systems to prevent natural disasters.
The altitude of Da Zhangshu Base and Oil City is both very low. If there were to be a super heavy rain, a world-ending flood would submerge these two places.
It is estimated that the only thing left in the world is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
What are you playing with?!
They are naturally impossible, because of an uncertain possibility,
Leave these two places behind now and head to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Perhaps, we can send people to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to make a forward stand?
In addition, if there is a heavy snowstorm and the world is frozen, then you need to take measures to keep out the cold.
They have actually experienced the extremely cold weather of global cooling before and have some experience in keeping out the cold.
Now it seems that we still have to think of ways to increase our ability to withstand the cold.
Li Yu thought about it, but no one in the audience dared to say a word.
When Li Yu came to his senses, he saw that everyone was still in their seats.
So he said, "Let's all leave."
........
(Please give me a monthly ticket. In response to the bosses’ suggestion that the recent plot has been a bit dull, I decided to add something more ruthless. But don’t worry, this book is centered on infrastructure development, zombies, natural disasters, and survival, and will not cover other topics.)
