Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country!

Chapter 132 132· The natural disaster has arrived, but what cannot kill us will eventually make us stronger!

November 1, 2024, 3:27 a.m. Eastern Time - three hours and twenty-seven minutes have passed since the ice disaster came to the Eastern Kingdom.

Shuinan City, Refuge Area No. 1, Refuge Building No. 1.

Late at night, the darkness was mixed with the sound of the wind, which was biting and cold.

Countless hailstones fell from the sky, full and hard, as if they were carved from marble.

With a crackling sound as it bounced to the ground, in just over three hours, the earth turned into a white and transparent boundary of ice. Those abandoned vehicles deformed violently in the hail and became the cornerstones.

Combined with the increasingly fierce wind, the hailstones swayed and danced crazily, like the god of winter dancing among the clouds. Behind the extreme noise is a contrasting silence, as if even people's breathing has stopped.

This cold night sky is lonely and terrifying, and this is just the beginning of the era of natural disasters.

At this moment, Dongguo seemed to be dead silent. The streets across the country were deserted, and almost all lighting facilities were not shining, even among the buildings. It was as if a prosperous country was completely dimmed.

But it's just as if, just like. The preparation for more than ten days is to shelter the fire when the disaster strikes. When the prepared firewood is thrown into the fire, the blazing flame will drive away all the darkness and fear!

A figure looked out of place.

He was sitting on a chair on the balcony without any heating measures. The water glass he brought out next to him had the liquid in it condensed into smoothie at this temperature.

In this temperature that is already difficult for ordinary people to accept, he is only wearing a single suit, with his legs crossed and beating the beat - he can only be Lin Li.

Not only did Lin Li not feel any discomfort, he even felt that as time passed and the temperature dropped, his body functions were continuously strengthening.

Now with a sliding shovel, I might be able to kill a tiger with my bare hands.

The night was indeed deep, but Lin Li couldn't sleep, and I'm afraid that many people in the entire Blue Star couldn't sleep at this special moment.

Some people can't sleep because the environment has become too extreme, but Lin Li is definitely not among them. He doesn't want to miss this critical moment, and is also worried about any changes that go beyond the plan.

Fortunately, for now, everything is business as usual.

Because this room is lined with trees, there is no enclosed balcony. The reinforced top floor is changed to a slope. Hailstones falling on it will roll down from three sides, like a curtain of rain. Some of them will be slightly deflected inward when blown by the wind. It hit the balcony and broke into pieces.

——Like many countries in Blue Star now.

Lin Li's rebirth has changed a lot. At least as of now, countless people who should have died tonight have continued their lives.

But there are also many countries that are so ill that there is no cure for them.

In order to observe the coming ice disaster in advance, Dongguo sent a drone to a time zone earlier than Dongguo.

This indeed records and summarizes some of the occurrence patterns of ice disasters - for example, the onset of hail usually starts in about forty minutes.

At the same time, drones also recorded the destruction of some countries.

The fragility of human beings is fully demonstrated at this time. It only takes a hockey puck to take away the life of a strong man. In the drone screen, countless corpses appear, but they were still alive just a second ago. .

If you don't have time to escape, you will die.

For those people who are barely clothed and shivering in their own homes, life is actually even more desperate, because they are absolutely unable to withstand the continued drop in temperature. If they go out, they will be stoned to death, and if they stay at home, they will be frozen to death. There is no way out. , they are already a living corpse.

If you avoid it, you will die.

But what Lin Li couldn't understand was that some countries were still engaging in internal strife and war at this point in time. Even if hailstones appeared, they had to fight to the death.

Lin Li's cell phone in his pocket vibrated, and he picked it up to check the message - conventional electronic devices can still be used outside at the current temperature. After the temperature drops to the limit during the day tomorrow, Lin Li can take his cell phone directly to the outside world and use it like Lin Li. After ten minutes at most, it will automatically shut down because the components inside cannot withstand the low temperature.

It’s news from Mr. No. 1:

Xiao Lin, have you slept?

No, I'm watching the hail on the balcony.

Then come to the conference room. There are more important things to discuss. I need you to provide your suggestions and ideas.

Okay, I'll come right away.

After the brief conversation, Lin Li stood up, opened the thickened balcony door, and returned to his room. Warmth enveloped Lin Li's body, but he could feel his body's reluctance to deal with the low temperature environment.

If other people in Blue Star knew his thoughts, they would probably call him a bitch.

Because he didn't know if his parents were asleep, Lin Li quietly left his home and came to the conference room in the building.

The security guard at the door saw that it was Lin Li and immediately let him through.

When Lin Li walked in, No. 1 and No. 3 were already sitting inside. No other gentlemen appeared on the screen on the wall, and it seemed that no plenary meeting was held.

Mr. No. 1, Mr. No. 3, haven't you guys slept yet? Lin Li sat at his seat on the round table and asked a common nonsense greeting among Easterners out of habit.

At this time of unprecedented changes for Blue Star, it is a pity that I cannot witness it with my own eyes.

Mr. No. 1 smiled, then looked at No. 3, and No. 3 directly pushed the tablet in his hand in front of Lin Li, and asked with a serious expression:

Xiao Lin, is this a strange stone?

Lin Li raised his eyebrows. When he saw the familiar milky white crystal on the tablet, he frowned and nodded:

Yes, this is the Strange Stone, gentlemen, where was it found? Only three and a half hours after the Era of Natural Disasters, it appeared? This is much earlier than we expected.

The strange stone would appear before the fourth month, which had become a definite guess among the ten members, but everyone thought it would take at least a certain amount of time.

Maybe ten days and a half?

But at three and a half hours, it was a bit faster than expected.

The center of Dongzhou Continent - Zhonghe City.

Although Lin Li had already prepared for the identity of the stone based on his description more than ten days ago, Mr. No. 3 couldn't help but look more serious after it was confirmed.

To be precise, it was found in hailstones in Nakahe City.

Now we have gained a lot, Xiao Lin, please listen slowly. No. 3 said slowly:

The reason for the formation of hail is that when the temperature drops to a certain level, the water vapor in the air is supersaturated and then the temperature drops sharply. This is what we know, but this is really not applicable to the fist-sized hail we are facing now. .

Therefore, we not only took advantage of the natural disaster before it came, but also deployed a large number of observation equipment in the sky to study how this kind of hail is formed.

But according to the images sent back by our aircraft before it was scrapped, these hailstones seemed to appear suddenly from some special clouds. They were bred in the clouds that began to gather after the ice disaster came, and were born It already has a certain scale, but it is just a little smaller than when it was launched.

Our aircraft did not record any information after it broke into the clouds. It was like an observation clock that was too high and could not see anything.

But we found that as the hail fell, the volume of this special cloud layer was slowly shrinking. We calculated that most of the cloud layers would completely disappear in four hours at this rate, which is almost consistent with your memory before rebirth.

So based on our current information, we speculate that the root cause of the regular hail you mentioned before, Xiaolin, is this kind of cloud layer.

The reason why the clouds become more violent as they go inland is that these clouds form quickly and in dense numbers in the inland sky. When the hail falls, its size shrinks until it disappears, and the hail stops. The next hailstorm Appears when these clouds form completely again.

With this inference, once we have concluded what volume of clouds are complete, and then place eyes in the sky in advance, we can thoroughly grasp the hail falling situation, and forecast it just like weather forecasting.

We also used the aircraft we deployed in advance to find that in those time zones and sea areas where the ice disaster occurred earlier than us, this kind of clouds basically did not gather in the sky above the ocean.

So we gave the order a few hours ago to have the three major fleet ecological refuge groups move a certain distance to the ocean and away from our land.

This will not only ensure that there is no trouble when supplies are needed, but also minimize the loss of ships in hail.

Secondly, regarding the temperature, the source of this temperature change seems to have nothing to do with weather, but with earth atmosphere.

It's strange to say that the source of cooling comes from the ground and spreads outward from the center of the land. Therefore, the temperature in the interior is extremely low. This brings a little trouble to our heating system, but it is not too big. It should be able to solve.

As for the specific situation, since we have not considered this direction before, we cannot study it now, and our previous experience cannot explain it. We can only wait for us to dispatch some equipment and talents underground to see if we can discover more patterns and restraint methods. .

No. 3 still had his own tablet in his hand. At this moment, he was telling Lin Li the analysis summarized above one by one, and Lin Li... was dumbfounded.

At this moment, he clearly felt how small personal power was compared to the power of the country.

If he were allowed to do these by himself, it would definitely take him a lot of time or even a lifetime to summarize the rules, but now... Dongguo only spent less than three and a half hours!

The appearance of strange stones in three and a half hours is an exaggeration.

But isn’t it an exaggeration to summarize so many effective rules in three and a half hours?

These patterns, especially hail patterns, can truly save lives, especially reducing mortality on missions that require field trips!

Humans have always tried to control nature.

Is it possible to control the Era of Natural Disasters in this way?

Lin Li was once again glad that he made the choice to report to the country, and further strengthened his belief that under the operation of the Eastern State machine, all difficulties can be overcome.

Although this is the result of preparation, it is shocking enough to summarize so many conclusions in such a short period of time.

Even so, Mr. No. 1 and Mr. No. 3 are still not satisfied with the current information!

They think Dongguo can do better!

Lin Li did not speak and continued to listen carefully. He was waiting for the part related to the strange stone. Sure enough, after Mr. No. 3 finished talking about these prerequisites, he continued:

Our laboratories across the country are collecting and studying these hail samples. We currently believe that they are a combination of ordinary ice and relatively loose snow. However, there is currently no result on how to interrupt their formation.

Xiaolin, you know, because of your information, we have always regarded Zhonghe City as an extremely important place. In addition, there are always unknown signals in the sky, so the research and collection happening there are the most exaggerated.

The thing in the picture is wrapped in a hailstone that was collected a few minutes ago.

Because most of the information on the Strange Stone is public, the Nakagawa remaining troops realized something was wrong and contacted us immediately.

When No. 3 said this, he finally paused and looked at Lin Li.

Yes, this is a strange stone. It is usually very strong, but in fact, like Rupert's Tears, it can be easily broken by twisting it in reverse from this position with both hands. Lin Li pointed at the picture and confirmed again.

The development of the natural disaster era is a little faster than we imagined. Mr. No. 1, who was silently listening to the conversation between the two people in front of him, habitually leaned back in his chair when thinking:

If the Strange Stone appears in this form, it is not impossible for us, who have not received the prophecy in Lin Li's memory, to discover the Strange Stone in advance and develop technology based on it.

In that case——

I believe in Lin Li's memory, our decision-making.

Since at that time, we chose to use exotic stones to develop technology instead of eating them, it proved that the cost-effectiveness of technology was much higher than eating it, so I think we must invest in research as soon as possible. Mr. No. 3 also quickly came to a conclusion.

There was a bit of domineering and confidence in his words - Mr. No. 3 was confident that even without the rebirth of hundreds of gentlemen from the Eastern Kingdom, he could still make the most correct choice in the era of natural disasters!

He believes that the Eastern Kingdoms in countless world lines will make good choices!

How many have been found so far? Is this just one?

Lin Li asked. After digesting the shocking news, his brain began to work rapidly.

Yes, if it was discovered early, they would have reported it in the morning. At present, the probability of occurrence is not high. Zhonghe City collected a large number of hailstones tonight, but only this one was found.

The members of the Xinhuo team have already driven armored transport vehicles to the city, especially the theoretically inland core of Dongzhou, to increase their efforts to collect hailstones.

Then let the ordinary soldiers sort them. We have also urgently dispatched some reinforcements, but we plan to wait until daytime before going there, which is safer.

Now it seems that we still don’t have enough people left in Zhonghe City. This was our original decision-making mistake.

We hope to get more in the future. If we only have one now, our research will be hampered everywhere.

Mr. No. 1 replied.

Do all hardships come with opportunities? The Era of Natural Disasters is indeed an unprecedented change for Blue Star. If human civilization can not be destroyed, perhaps it can take a step forward! As long as the Eastern Kingdom can withstand this storm, it will become more robust!

The light in No. 3's eyes was extremely sharp and shining.

“What doesn’t kill us will eventually make us stronger!”
