A biological scientist in a white coat stood up from his seat and walked to the podium alone. He was seventy-three years old. Even though his appearance and body shape showed signs of aging, he still walked as if he was old.
Steady and steady.
This person’s name is Zhao Caizhe, who currently serves as the president of the National Academy of Sciences.
At this moment.
The senior scientist came to the podium and looked around the entire large conference room, quietly looking at the high-level social figures present with an extremely serious expression.
Zhao Caizhe reached out and turned on the simple loudspeaker on the podium, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, your Majesty is specially invited to convene this meeting today. It will determine the future life and death of our species. To be precise, the life and death of non-evolved people like ordinary people."
."
"As for why such crude and primitive instruments are used, you are not allowed to bring any electronic equipment into the conference room. We will discuss it later."
"Time is of the essence, Zhao will make a long story short here."
Zhao Caizhe stared at these high-level figures with a complex and unclear expression in his eyes.
As soon as Hajime opened his mouth, his words shocked everyone.
"Here, unfortunately, I can tell you a tragic fact."
"We humans are about to face a mass extinction of species and be eliminated and destroyed by nature."
When many of the big shots present heard these words, they were immediately shocked and stood up subconsciously, with disbelief on their faces.
"what are you saying?"
"How is this possible? How is it that we humans are going extinct?"
"How dare you talk nonsense here and confuse the public with evil talk? Someone will come, drag him out and chop him up."
"Wait a minute, I believe that Mr. Zhao is a person who will never talk nonsense like this without conclusive evidence. I'd better listen patiently and see what Mr. Zhao says."
…
In the end, it was the contemporary emperor Nangong Ji who waved his hand to stop everyone's discussion and said in a deep voice, "My dear friends, please be patient and continue listening. You will understand what I mean."
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's will."
On the podium.
Zhao Caizhe quietly looked at the various reactions and expressions of everyone just now. His face was expressionless, his eyes were calm, and he didn't know what was thinking in his heart.
After receiving the signal from Nangong Ji's eyes, he continued to speak briefly and explain briefly.
"As for why Zhao came to this conclusion, please listen to a simple piece of data and you will understand."
"Under normal atmospheric pressure and oxygen partial pressure, the oxygen concentration that ordinary people can survive normally and safely is 195 to 235. If the oxygen content of the air exceeds 235, it is a life-threatening oxygen-rich environment for us humans.
."
"But now, less than seven days have passed since the mysterious blue ice rain fell, and the oxygen content of the air in the city where humans gather has already soared to 289."
"You must have felt a little uncomfortable recently."
"And in the wild forest, this data is even more shocking."
"Before, dozens of elite soldiers were sent to risk their lives to go inside the forest and use instruments to measure it many times. The average oxygen content in the air was found to have risen to 3123."
Zhao Caizhe looked at the somewhat confused eyes of everyone present and briefly said, "Maybe you don't quite understand what this level of oxygen content means, but Zhao can give you a real example that has happened before."
"During the Carboniferous Period, about 35.5 billion to 29.5 billion years ago, that ancient barbaric era known as the Age of Giant Insects, the average oxygen content in the air was about 35."
When the era of giant insects was mentioned, some people's expressions changed and became extremely serious.
According to the ancient fossils excavated so far, ordinary ants of that era could grow to be about the same size as an adult man, and they still lived in groups and hunted. Their living habits were not very different from those of today's ants.
Insects, especially arthropod insects, were the absolute dominant creatures at the top of the food chain and food web of that era.
But there are also more people who disagree.
I always blindly believe in one thing in my heart, that is, human beings are invincible in technology, and no matter how large an animal is, they are vulnerable to technological weapons.
It completely ignores whether human beings themselves still exist under this oxygen concentration.
Looking at the different expressions of these people, Zhao Caizhe sighed secretly in his heart, with a trace of sarcasm and ridicule flashing in his eyes, and silently whispered to himself, "After all, they are a group of ordinary people who only play with power and money..."
"In front of nature, it is just a tiny dust that can be destroyed with the wave of a hand. It is dispensable."
On the surface.
—————
Zhao Caizhe's face remained serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Based on the various data collected so far, we conducted multiple modeling and repeated calculations, and we got an even more terrifying news."
"When a new global dynamic carbon-oxygen balance structure is formed and established, the average oxygen content of oxygen in the air will soar to about 4213 to 4867. And this period of time is only about a month away."
"The oxygen poisoning effect will cause humans and other species that cannot quickly adapt to high-concentration oxygen environments to become extinct on a large scale."
"Oh, what nonsense and pretentiousness." Among them, a man with a big belly suddenly laughed out loud, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "The concentration of oxygen breathed in the hospital is at least 70, and the oxygen breathed by astronauts in space is...
It’s even higher than 90.”
"Then why haven't we seen them die of oxygen poisoning?"
"The key factor in oxygen poisoning is not oxygen concentration." Zhao Caizhe looked at the contemporary head of the Fu family and secretly mocked "ignorant idiot" in his heart. On the surface, he respectfully explained, "Oxygen partial pressure is what causes the oxygen poisoning effect.
The key factor."
"Whether it is the oxygen inhalation in the hospital mentioned by this gentleman or the oxygen inhalation in space by astronauts, the oxygen partial pressure is re-regulated by electronic instruments. But in nature, nature does not give human beings
Specially regulates the partial pressure of oxygen.”
"Under normal circumstances, the higher the oxygen concentration in nature, the greater the oxygen partial pressure, and the two show a positive correlation model."
"The higher the oxygen partial pressure, the more likely it is that oxygen poisoning will occur."
"Even at an oxygen concentration that allows humans to survive normally, as long as the oxygen partial pressure or atmospheric pressure is strong enough, oxygen can easily exterminate all humans."
He was secretly slapped in the face by Zhao Caizhe.
The contemporary head of the Fu family, Fu Yuanji, turned green and red, and glared at Zhao Caizhe in anger, with a very unkind look in his eyes.
Before the impending death crisis, Zhao Caizhe no longer cared about the threats from others.
