On this day, Li Mu saw a system prompt. It turned out that it had been three years since he came to this world, and he had successfully completed the three-year mission of surviving in the high-temperature apocalypse.
Li Mu re-examined the world today and found that it was completely different from when he first came here.
In the past three years, the sea level has risen by a total of 38 meters, countless coastal cities have been flooded, countless islands have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and geopolitical relations have undergone major changes.
Yun City was originally an inland city. As the sea water rises, the straight-line distance from the sea is only more than 200 kilometers. Perhaps it will become a coastal city one day.
Being close to the sea also has advantages. First of all, there is more rain and the temperature is much lower than in the west. Moreover, when encountering global continuous heavy rains, large-scale floods occur. Because it is close to the sea, the rainwater has a place to go, and flood discharge is relatively simple, so there are few floods.
It spread to more than three floors and would drain away within a few days after the rain stopped.
Compared with before, Yun City is indeed much more livable. Coupled with prosperous commerce and developed economy, it has already entered the top ten in the evaluation indicators of major cities in the country.
The biggest change has occurred in the western region, where many obscure prefecture-level cities or small counties have suddenly emerged and become key national cities. Compared with a few years ago, they are completely different.
Looking at the gradually increasing flow of people on the street, everyone is wearing insulating clothing, and they are obviously used to this method. It must be said that human beings have really strong tolerance and adaptability, and they have gradually adapted to the temperature of 50 or 60 degrees.
When living in high temperatures, you need to wear thick sun protection and heat-insulating clothing every time you go out.
Apart from the food crisis, high temperatures no longer pose much of a threat to humans.
Seeing Li Mu in a daze, Jiang Hui walked over and hugged his arm: "What's wrong?"
Li Mu shook his head: "Nothing, I'm a little emotional!"
Jiang Huidao: "The signing ceremony is ready and the car is ready. It's time for us to go."
Li Mu smiled faintly, put his arm around her waist and said, "Let's go!"
In the Yun City Conference Hall, after the agreement was signed, there was warm applause. Li Mu shook hands with the head of the R&D institution, and click...the flashes of countless cameras lit up.
The target of this investment is still the large R&D team that develops single-cell proteins, that is, artificial meat. Li Mu has invested 40 billion. Last month, they made a big breakthrough in technology, and artificial meat can now
Large-scale mass production, although the cost is very expensive.
Now that the results have been achieved, Li Mu naturally supports it, and he is not afraid of burning money. If it is really going to be the end of the world, what's the use of more money.
This time, he directly invested 100 billion, not only to support them to continue to increase research and development efforts, but also to use these funds to build several artificial meat production plants to start small-scale mass production of artificial meat.
Half a month later, an artificial food company that Li Mu had invested in also had a technological breakthrough. With a wave of his hand, he invested another 50 billion.
Support them to increase research and development efforts and build several specialized production plants.
Although the mission has been completed and he can go back at any time, the world is still in uncertainty. He doesn't know whether it can really solve the food crisis and survive the apocalypse. He doesn't want to leave without seeing the results.
In the next year, Li Mu continued to spend money. By compressing biscuits and selling cans, liquor, red wine, beer... all kinds of materials, he spent trillions of dollars, all of which he spent.
The results are also gratifying. Various synthetic food research teams have spent countless amounts of money, and the results have come out one after another.
Li Mu took part of the developed food and sold it through the official mall that sells compressed biscuits, and the sales volume was excellent.
Subsequently, Li Mu disclosed some patents and technologies, introduced a huge amount of state-owned assets, and began to build factories and put them into production frantically.
One year later, with the emergence of a large number of artificially synthesized foods, the problem of human beings' eating was finally solved. Although these synthetic foods still have problems of one kind or another. However, the sword of Dakmoth hanging over our heads is finally gone.
.
Without the pressure of food, humans can concentrate on coping with high temperatures and developing technology.
It is said that crops that can cope with high temperatures, droughts and floods have also been developed, and they will be officially produced within five to ten years. The staple food of mankind will return from artificial food to crops grown in nature.
.
Li Mu looked at the time. It has been five years since he came to this world. Although humans are still in extremely hot weather, they have solved the food problem and have learned to coexist with high temperatures.
In the past two years, the earth has also changed a lot. The sea level has risen by 18 meters again, many cities have been flooded, and a large number of people have migrated westward and to the plateau.
On the other hand, Yun City has changed from an inland city five years ago to a coastal city now. Unlike last time, which was still more than two hundred kilometers away, this time after the sea level rose by 18 meters, Yun City is only a few dozen kilometers away from the sea.
kilometers, with a county in between.
The economy of this county is too poor and cannot be guaranteed in all aspects. The residents are afraid of being flooded and want to move westward, but they have been pushed to the back of the queue. The westward move is far away. Every place is regarded as a burden, and in the end it was assigned to Yun City, and Yun City was
It became a coastal city.
In fact, judging from the data and scientific research results published by the state, the sea level rise has ended, and except for the flooded areas, the westward migration work in other places has been completely stopped.
Li Mu saw relevant videos on the Internet. After nearly five years of extreme high temperature weather, the glaciers in the North and South Poles have all disappeared, the ice in Greenland has also melted, and there is no ice or snow on the snowy mountains everywhere.
It can be said that all the factors supporting sea level rise have disappeared, and there are no new water sources flowing to the sea. In the future, the sea water will maintain the current boundary and will not rise again.
I don’t know if it’s because of the melting of so many glaciers and the snow-capped mountains, but the high temperature has dropped a bit compared to the peak of the previous two years.
The average daytime temperature in summer is around fifty-five or six degrees Celsius, and even lower in winter, when the average daytime temperature has dropped to over forty degrees.
Although it is still very hot, this is a welcome change for humans, and everyone has been able to adapt.
A few more months later, there was no problem of food, everyone settled down, and the city became more and more prosperous. After being promoted to a coastal city, Yun City became more and more livable. Now, even if it rains continuously and there is a flood, the water is still there.
It is difficult to flood to the second level. After the rain stops, the water on the road surface will be drained within a day or two at most.
It is really too close to the sea. No matter how much flood there is, it can flow to the sea nearby. Compared with the inland, this is also one of the benefits of coastal areas.
Li Mu stayed for a few more months, spending time with Jiang Hui and Qing Ning, and settling in with Sun Yuan and Liu Yue... before he decided to return.
I have been here for more than five years and it is time to go back.
At night, watching Jiang Hui and Qing Ning fall asleep tiredly, Li Mu went to the roof of the building and looked at the bright lights of Wanjia. His heart moved as he realized that the people had disappeared.
