The sea rises one meter a day [End Times]

It's another summer.

In the midst of July, the temperature in the Imperial Capital of China was no more than a dozen degrees. The temperature was humid and windy. Even in midsummer, one had to wear a coat to go out.

A 58-meter-long fishing boat sailed from far to near, and Li Hanfei put a beach chair on the deck, lying on it and drinking fruit juice leisurely.

Putting down the juice and putting his hand beside him, a puppy came over wagging its tail to lick his fingers.

Li Hanfei touched the dog's head and yawned. Just as he was about to say something, the heat above his head cooled down. The hot sun was blocked, and when he looked up, it was the shadow left by a parasol.

Li Hanfei looked at Yuecheng who brought the umbrella over with a smile, and Yuecheng straightened the umbrella, revealing only the position above Li Hanfei's chest.Sitting next to him, he took the sunscreen and put it on him first.

Li Hanfei cooperated with Yuecheng's movements and enjoyed it quite a bit: "How do you know I want to sleep."

The two have been together for more than six years, Yuecheng doesn't know him?

"If you get too much sun, you will be sleepy. It's good for your body to sleep in the sun for a while. After being sleepy for more than half a year, it's rare to get a good sun."

Since the Great Flood, good weather is rare around the world, and the sunny days may not exceed two months or even less in a year.Li Hanfei had become an official researcher of the Chinese Academy of Sciences the year before last, and while staying in the laboratory for a long time, he also had to manage the tree of life.Both ends have been busy for a long time, and there are very few opportunities to go out, let alone enjoy the sun.

Maybe he hasn't seen the sun for more than half a year, but Li Hanfei's skin is tender and fair, better than that of a teenage girl.Li Hanfei didn't care about this at first, but after being praised too much, he deliberately maintained the status quo.

Yuecheng is also considerate, always wear sunscreen when traveling, no matter how he travels, he can't get a little bit tanned.

"No news from Bai Yecheng?" Li Hanfei put his leg on Yuecheng's shoulder and asked him to paint his entire leg.

Yuecheng only said: "I won't come."

"Didn't you agree to play in the imperial capital first and return to the northeast?" Li Hanfei only raised his eyebrows.

Yuecheng glanced at Li Hanfei.Only said: "It seems that the target is pregnant."

"Pregnant?" Li Hanfei wanted to sit up and was pushed back by Yue Cheng, "Isn't his wife mutated?"

The water flowing out of the asteroid has spread all over the world. This water contains a small amount of radiation, and people will mutate after long-term exposure. Currently, [-]% of the world's population has mutated to varying degrees.

Although the direction of variation is basically positive, it allows people to better adapt to life on the water.But the birth of mutants has become a major problem in the world.

Because of this, I don't know how many marriages were broken up.

"It's not 100% sterilized. Her mutation level is relatively low, and the corresponding pregnancy probability will be higher."

Li Hanfei only said: "Then I remember that the global birth rate is less than [-]. The probability is too low."

"It can only be said that they are destined to have a child." Yuecheng said.

"They seem to have given up on it before. They think cloning themselves is too scary." Li Hanfei said.

Yuecheng said: "Then if it were you, would you be willing to clone yourself?"

Li Hanfei paused, touched Yuecheng's stomach and sighed: "It's not a question of whether I think about it, who made you have no parts in your stomach?"

Yuecheng didn't stop his movements, but just moved his position to make it easier for him to touch.

"I don't know if it's right to clone yourself." Li Hanfei pressed his hands on Yuecheng's stomach.

"Humans need to reproduce, and it would be terrible if there is a large-scale fault. At least... Huaxia is relatively the most humane place."

"Humanity... If it is the way of heaven to hinder the survival of mutated people, then it is against the sky." Li Hanfei said.

"It doesn't matter whether it's humane or heavenly. Now countries can no longer allow their own country's population to fall off a cliff. No one wants to be the first country on this planet to disappear, and that's enough."

In the first year after the Great Flood, fertility problems were already suspected.Until the third year after the Great Flood, among the tens of thousands of newborns around the world, only two parents were mutants.

With the explosive growth of the global mutated population, the global fertility crisis also broke out.

I tried test-tube babies during the period, but the genes of sperm cells and egg cells could not be fused at all. After careful research, a certain section of the genome of the mutated person has changed, and each is slightly different. It is this changed genome that makes People have special abilities, but they also suppress the ability to fuse with other genes.After two years of determining that it was impossible to conquer, the world began to pass cloning laws one after another.

When people cannot reproduce sexually, they can only use such high technology to achieve asexual reproduction.At least, people can continue until this difficult problem is completely overcome.

The bill was only passed in the country last year.But different from other countries, in other countries, mutants usually clone themselves, especially those male mutants, and find women who are willing to be surrogates to give birth to their children.Because it is copying itself, the child itself does not need a genetic and biological mother.And those mutant women who are equally powerful are not willing to give birth to someone who has nothing to do with their genes.

Therefore, after seeing them in disarray for a year with cold eyes, after intense discussions, they decided to open cloning.

This is a helpless move. Originally, there was a demographic dividend in the country, and the proportion of survivors nationwide was also relatively high.But if the children cloned from other countries are born one by one, the country may be overtaken by the population of other countries within a few years.

It’s just that the surrogacy issue was opposed by [-]% of the votes and insisted that it was not passed. The final bill passed was that only husband and wife can clone themselves.

Of course, the state also thought that someone would take advantage of loopholes, so the stipulated application authority is that couples who have been married for more than two years are eligible to apply, and the same woman can only apply for cloning once within six years, and miscarriages are not counted.

On the one hand, we have to use cloning to ensure that the population will not fall off a cliff, and on the other hand, we try our best to maintain the moral ethics that we should have.

In fact, Li Hanfei was not optimistic about this.

But the good news is that there is now enough evidence to prove that the fertility of this cloned child is normal and will not mutate, so it will naturally have the same fertility as ordinary people.

This is equivalent to creating an identical trumpet after the main body loses its fertility, and returns to a fertile state.

For this alone, it seems that cloning a child is easier to accept.

"I want to see what you looked like when you were a child." Li Hanfei looked at Yuecheng, paused and said, "If I raised you, I would definitely raise you up for nothing, so that you won't feel wronged .”

"Then I might not have the brains and achievements I have now." Yue Cheng emphasized.

"That's okay, as long as you're happy." Li Hanfei smiled.

"Then it's not me," Yuecheng stretched out his hand to Yuecheng, and Li Hanfei turned his hands to touch the lines on the palms, "Even if they have the same genes, it's not me. Because people are unique, everyone They are all important and precious. If it is only cloned and completely replaces this person, wouldn’t that lose the most precious light of a person?”

Li Hanfei listened, and Yuecheng saw that he was thinking a little bit, and said again: "Actually, it is the experience, deeds and nature of others that make a person become that person."

"It's like, it's because you met me in junior high that you like me." Li Hanfei said.

Yue Cheng smiled and said, "Indeed."

"You can't even look at me when I was a child? My brother can say that when I was a child, I was a rarity."

"You are rare now." Yuecheng reached out and rubbed Li Hanfei's face, and pulled a beach chair over to lie beside Li Hanfei.

Li Hanfei became more and more sleepy, so he changed into a more comfortable position and put both legs on Yuecheng's.

This is Li Hanfei's habitual movement. After maintaining it for several years, at first he simply felt that this posture was comfortable, but now it has become a suggestive movement. As long as he performs this movement, Li Hanfei's pituitary gland will immediately secrete melatonin. Sleeps fast and works better than a pacifier for little ones.

Yuecheng listened to Li Han's uneven breathing, looked at the unpredictable clouds in the sky, narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, enjoying the tranquility at this moment.

……

Ten years after the end of the world.

cold winter.Li Hanfei joined the mountaineering team and climbed Mount Everest together.

The moment the photo was taken as a souvenir, a site that Li Hanfei had planned for himself was completed again.

The crowd burst into cheers.Since most people in the world have mutated, their physique has been greatly enhanced. Mount Everest, which was originally the most difficult to conquer in the world, is now summited in one year, which is almost the sum of the past 20 years.

Of course, there will still be accidental sacrifices, but this still cannot stop the enthusiasm of mountaineering enthusiasts from all over the world.

Those who have never experienced it will never know the pleasure of seeing the small mountains at that moment.

Back together to pitch a tent.After the Great Flood, humans broke through the energy of asteroids and developed new energy. At the same time, there was a technological race among countries, and the overall technology was greatly improved, and equipment that can make people live better in harsh environments has sprung up like mushrooms. , such as this tent.

The fabric of the tent is made of energy stone and graphene. It is very soft and only thicker than ordinary tents after folding.But the storage and storage of heat is quite strong, firm, wind-resistant, heat-accumulating, and at the same time fire-resistant.Once this kind of tent is set up, don't worry about hailstorms, even if there is a bear outside the tent, as long as you stay inside, nothing will happen.

It is almost necessary for temporary living in the wild.Originally equipped for the army, after the output increased, the folks also began to have related products.Now it has become a must-have for mountaineering and camping.

Li Hanfei took off his hat and rubbed his face, then squatted down and straightened his boots first.

I searched left and right and didn't see the shadow of Yuecheng. I turned around and poured a cup of boiling water in my palm. I heard my teammates sharing their emotions with each other in an excited tone. I didn't participate in it. Send a message and tell me what you have seen and heard at this time.

After chatting for a few words, the cup in his hand was taken away. Yuecheng took a sip of warm water that was just ready to dry, and sat beside Li Hanfei.

"Why did you go?" Li Hanfei asked.

"Put the flag."

"...Didn't it be done before?" The flag-planting ceremony was held together by everyone.

"I added a tree of life flag, as if our company has done team building on it." Yuecheng said.

"...Who runs the team building here." Li Hanfei took the water glass, took a sip and refilled it.

"Are you going to climb the mountain at the next stop?" Yue Cheng changed the topic.

"No, but it's like going to the tropical rainforest. Is there still a tropical rainforest?"

"There should be, just a few." Yue Cheng said, "Most likely they are going abroad."

"Then don't go there for now. I haven't finished shopping in the country yet. I will go to Changbai Mountain in the spring. Maybe I can dig ginseng."

Just as Yuecheng was about to speak, he heard the phone ring, took it out to look at it, and then put it down.

Li Hanfei looked at the black screen of the phone curiously, but didn't ask who it was.

Seeing him looking at him, Yuecheng said with a rare desire to survive: "It's my father's daughter who was born later. She has been admitted to university."

Yuecheng has now been hired by the best university in Qinghai-Tibet region as a professor.However, I don't spend much time in school in a year, and I will take a few students a year.

It is also fate, his half-sister happened to come to the Qinghai-Tibet region after several twists and turns, and was successfully admitted to university along the way.

The girl's name is Yue Chu, who happens to be similar to Jiang Yue.At the beginning, Yuechu entered the university as an auditor to attend Yuecheng's class, and the moment the brother and sister met, they saw shock in each other's eyes.

In fact, the third year after Yuecheng came to the Qinghai-Tibet region, his father came to him.

Ironically, that selfish man once abandoned Yuecheng's biological mother and married the boss's daughter when Yuecheng was young, reaching the pinnacle of his life.Later, because his remarried wife gave birth to a daughter, he was patriarchal and wanted to repair his relationship with the adult Yuecheng.

After the great flood, this man abandoned his wife and daughter again, and ran away with all his property when the sea was difficult.Later, when he heard about Yuecheng's famous name, he traveled thousands of miles to the Qinghai-Tibet area, wanting to get a glimpse of this son's glory, but after meeting him once, it became the last time their father and son would see each other.

Yuecheng refused to admit that he was his father, and there was no intersection in the future, and there was no news of him after that.

Only a few years later, Yue Chu came again.

Maybe it was influenced by her elder brother, maybe the family has this gene, she is very talented in physics.The brother and sister didn't communicate much, but Yuecheng was more or less willing to bear all the expenses of her schooling after getting in touch with this younger sister.

The two kept a distance, but also had a little contact.It's as if Yuecheng was sent abroad when he was a child, and there was only one overseas phone call with his family.

"It seems like I haven't seen her for more than half a year. How's her grades?" Although he didn't see her much, Li Hanfei felt somewhat like a sister-in-law to this girl.

"Science ranks second in Tibet, and the picture is [-] points behind the first." Yuecheng turned on the phone to show Li Hanfei.

Li Hanfei slapped his mouth: "What kind of brains do you have! This is too heaven-defying."

There was no expression on Yuecheng's face: "She is 23 this year."

Yuechu was exactly ten years younger than Yuecheng, and coincidentally, Li Hanfei was also ten years younger than his brother.

Of course Li Hanfei understood the deep meaning of his words, he just smiled and rubbed Yuecheng's face: "You are the best! You have graduated with a master's degree at the age of 19."

In fact, counting it this way, the first month of the flood was only thirteen.After experiencing such a catastrophe, it was quite terrifying to come to the Qinghai-Tibet area and enroll in school a few years later. Such amazing results have been achieved in just a few years.

Yuecheng didn't speak any more, nor did he mention this girl again.

"Speaking of which, I'm already 28. The days are too fast." Li Hanfei didn't feel any better yet. Looking at his body, which was stronger than ten years ago, Li Hanfei felt a little bit of melancholy traveling through the years. , "I feel like I'm getting old."

Yuecheng couldn't help laughing: "I'm asking you to tell me this, I'm 33, brother 38. If we want to grow old, we must grow old first."

"Aren't you just getting old?" Li Hanfei stretched out his hands to pinch Yuecheng's face, "You've evolved from a young boy to a handsome uncle."

Although the title of uncle is a bit incompetent, the word handsome in front of it is somewhat of a consolation.

"Still disgusted?" Yuecheng raised his eyebrows.

Li Hanfei poked his head and saw someone looking over, lowered his voice and moved closer, and said with a smile: "No matter how disgusted you are, you will marry in, and your whole life will be over."

Yuecheng glanced at him and said nothing.

But that time down the mountain in the guest house at the foot of the mountain, Li Hanfei was tortured by Yuecheng.Let him have a good experience of whether the "handsome uncle" is old or not.

……

In the No. 20 year of the last days, the land of Huaxia is still a large area submerged by most of the ocean, but just as Yuecheng and Li Hancheng imagined before, buildings rise one after another above and below water, and even in mid-air, and some large cities Reclamation means that the area that was originally submerged in the sea is filled up, and after filling up high, buildings are built on it again.

The world began to restore order one after another. During this period, wars broke out between some small countries, but there were almost no major problems between big countries except for large and small frictions.

With the deepening of the mining of asteroids, it is enough for the global large-scale use of new energy sources, and it is estimated that the energy stones brought by the asteroids can be used for at least 300 years.

These 300 years are enough for human beings to develop a lot.

Like space.

Li Hanfei came to the Antarctic nineteen times, and was led by his brother into the interior of the asteroid with a little extravagance and familiarity.

Just standing in front of the asteroid, the asteroid diverged as if it had thought. Li Hanfei flew in on tiptoe, and directly entered a transparent but well-furnished bedroom.After entering the room, he took off the backpack and put it away, sat on the transparent bed and raised his head with a smile.

"I am back."

The 38-year-old Li Hanfei was sitting there, and the time has not left many marks on his face, even in his early twenties.

Yuecheng next to him was five years older than him, but looked about his age.

In fact, they also discovered early that the speed of their aging has been greatly lengthened.

However, the aging speed of mutants is very slow, the higher the degree of mutation, the slower the aging of the body.The two of them don't look very eye-catching now.

"Ding! Welcome home."

Li Hanfei's smile deepened, and he lay back on the bed, looking at everything around him, and with a wave of his hand, a jet of water flew over like a tentacle.

"do you miss me?"

The system did not respond.

"I want to come another 100 years."

"Ding, welcome home." The system repeated.

Yuecheng thought about it, then turned to Li Hanfei and said, "With our current metabolic rate, you can still come for another 150 years."

"Then I'll be here for 200 years." Li Hanfei kicked his leg, "I'm going to be an immortal old monster!"

"Together?"

"Together!"
