In the apocalypse of natural disasters, ordinary people can still live wonderfully

2036年7月10日，末世第2年9个月，寒灾第2年5个月。

The temperature started to change.

The first people to discover the problem were Mr. Wang and Mr. Yue.

They are responsible for cultivating crops in extreme climates, and are particularly sensitive to changes in temperature.

During lunch that day, Teacher Yue said at the dining table: "The temperature has begun to rise recently. In just ten days, it has risen by 5 degrees. It has continued to rise."

Gu Mi and Ouyang Sen looked at each other and it seemed that the heat was coming.

"Teacher Yue, how is the progress of your recent experiments on crops that can adapt to extremely hot temperatures?" Gu Mi asked.

"We are overcoming the last problem. Once we overcome it, we will succeed."

Gu Mi gave a thumbs up, what is the power of knowledge? This is!

Teacher Yue and Mr. Wang are simply the kind of people who started a second career in old age and are still doing it successfully.

It's simply magical and you don't need it.

"What can we plant then?" Gu Jia asked.

"The first is sweet potatoes, potatoes, wheat, corn, and other high-yielding crops. We must first solve people's food and clothing problems."

"It makes sense. Teacher Yue, you should pay more attention to your health in general, and pay more attention to adding or removing clothes when it's hot or cold." Gu Mi interjected with concern.

"Don't worry, there are special guards in the laboratory who are responsible for this." Teacher Yue patted Gu Mi's hand and comforted him.

Regarding the extreme heat, Gu Mi didn't say much.

Since the government has started to let Teacher Yue and others experiment with extreme heat crops, it means that arrangements have been made.

There is no need to say more about this and make the teachers confused.

After dinner, the elders of Gu's family sat together and exchanged information as usual.

"Brother, dig some flood drains around the village. The snow will melt immediately when the temperature is high. With so much snow, floods must not occur. Dig a few flood drains in advance to at least prevent floods from reaching the village."

Gu Yuan thought for a moment and then agreed.

The location of Fenghuang Village is high in the north and low in the south.

There is also a forest park to the north with a gentle slope.

During the past two years of extreme cold, the woods in the south have long been cut down.

Of course, if you want to cut down the forest completely, you have to hollow out the snowfield.

In other words, the flood discharge area has been dug out near the road, and after the snow melts in the farmland near the village, it can be discharged without any obstacles.

The yellow area is where the snow has hollowed out

To the north of the village is the villa area, and behind the villa area is the forest park.

During the entire period of extreme cold, the snow in the villa area did not move. Only a road was dug from the outside of the village to the forest park.

In the forest park, the gentle slope near Fenghuang Village has also been dug and chopped.

If the extreme cold does not pass, cutting will begin on the gentle slope as well.

There are two to three kilometers of farmland on both sides of the village, and on both sides, there are two rivers.

At this time of year, there is naturally no water in the river.

There is a height difference between the two rivers and the farmland on both sides of the village. Now we only need to dig a few channels on the farmland snowfield, so that the snow water can flow into the river, and the entire village will not be flooded.

The biggest problem now is the ice wall.

Fenghuang Village Snowfield Distribution Map

The ice wall has protected the village for more than two years, but after its initial construction and two years of continuous pouring, it has reached a scale of 6 meters high and 2 meters wide.

If an ice wall of this size melted, it would probably wash away the village.

Now that we are aware of the potential threat, we cannot sit idly by and do nothing.

Gu Yuan stopped sitting and immediately went to the village committee office.

Everyone in the office was shocked when they heard that Gu Yuan wanted to dig a flood channel outside the village.

"Discharge the flood? Discharge the flood for what purpose?" The first person to react was accountant Yan Deyu.

Yan Deyu, who thought he had glimpsed the true strength of the Gu family, had been extremely respectful to Gu Yuan in the past two years.

Such a straightforward question was unique to him.

"The temperature has been rising in the past few days, have you felt it?" Gu Yuan asked.

"Is there any?" Yan Deyu looked at the others in confusion.

Others also asked: "Is there any?"

"Yes", Gu Yuan gave an affirmative answer.

"In 10 days, the temperature has risen by 5 degrees. Yesterday's temperature was minus 55 degrees to minus 28 degrees."

"It's still very cold." Everyone was even more confused.

"But compared with the previous weather, the temperature is already rising."

Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Gu Yuan had no choice but to dig deeper.

"Have you ever thought about it, since we are experiencing extremely cold weather now, is there a possibility that we will also experience extreme heat?"

"Extremely hot?" the village chief asked, "Yuan'er, do you have any inside information?"

"No." Gu Yuan flatly denied.

"I just speculate and take precautions in advance."

"Since you said prevention, let's do it!" the village chief agreed.

The village chief made the decision, and everyone immediately started planning.

Gu Yuan drew a sketch of the surrounding environment of Fenghuang Village and drew a few red lines on it.

Fenghuang Village Flood Release Plan

"There is snow in these places around our village. I suggest digging several flood discharge channels on the snowfields on the east and west sides, leading directly to the river. This can guide the snow water to flow into the river."

"It's not enough to just dig out the snowfield. I suggest digging the open space outside the ice wall to tilt the ground to both sides, so that the water melted by the ice wall can flow to both sides and then merge into the flood discharge channel." Yan Deyu added .

After these two opinions, everyone planned the excavation related work.

After a long time, when all the discussions were completed, someone said weakly: "With such a large amount of work, if the snow does not melt, wouldn't it be a waste of everyone's efforts?"

Gu Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the speaker. Before he could say anything, Yan Deyu had already answered: "Isn't strength just wasted?"

Gu Yuan raised his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth, and stopped talking.

The matter was settled.

The notification will be made by the village chief. Each household will still contribute one person per day. There will be no points, but all members must participate.

Complaints, of course.

"Village Chief, why are you going out and wasting your energy when you don't have enough to eat?"

"Er Gouzi, the two of you earn points, and you can earn nearly 30 points every day. There are only 9 people in your family. Can't your family have enough to eat with 30 points?"

"You'll get hungry faster if you just eat grains, and you'll get even hungrier if you dig snow again."

"Then don't earn points. If you don't work, don't labor, and don't eat, you won't be hungry."

"No, no, no, village chief, I was just joking, dig! Let's dig! Dig now!"

"Does anyone else have any opinions? Everyone can speak up and let's discuss and resolve it together."

"If there is no village chief, we will do whatever you say!"

"Village chief, it's up to you. I'll fight wherever you want!"

See, when power is concentrated, it is so easy to implement policies.
