The sea rises one meter a day [End Times]

This new year has not been easy.

Earthquakes and typhoons came to the door, and the mountain, which had just started to improve and had just resumed construction, suddenly retreated a lot.

Even so, the conditions are relatively good compared to other shelters around.

After the local soldiers finished the rescue operation, they only took a short rest, and dispatched more than half of them before dawn, and sent more troops to rescue the surrounding conditions in poorer conditions.

At the same time, the factory urgently transferred back all employees on vacation, and began to rush to produce the needed relief supplies.

Bai Yecheng came over early in the morning and saw that Li Hanfei was with Qingxue, so he knew that what happened last night had no effect on them.

Li Hanfei led him into the No. [-] greenhouse to keep warm. Hearing about this from him, he frowned: "The ice cracked last night?"

Bai Yecheng pointed to the place where there was a fountain last night: "Water spewed out over there directly, and some boats were flooded. It was only blocked by snow, so they didn't flood over here. Several people were seriously injured after being drenched. Frostbite. Not dead now."

"It's New Year's Eve," Li Hanfei sighed, and tightened the down jacket on his body, "I haven't experienced this kind of cold yet. Last night...it was almost minus [-] degrees."

Bai Yecheng shook his head: "It's not that bad, it's only over minus 30 degrees, but the wind is too strong, and the heat can't stay. Plus the humidity here is high, once the temperature drops, people can't stand it."

Li Hanfei rubbed his hands and glanced at Bai Yecheng: "You are quite resistant to freezing."

Bai Yecheng patted the down jacket on his body: "The clothes are warm."

Li Hanfei reached out and touched it, but he didn't feel that it was too thick.

Bai Yecheng only said: "It is estimated that the snow is about to melt. This alternation of cold and hot air brings this typhoon."

Li Hanfei thought it made sense.

Bai Yecheng looked inside the greenhouse, looked up at the plastic sheeting, and said, "You can't keep warm. If it's night, you'll probably burn a lot of fires. Especially in the situation last night, if you didn't warm up in time, you might have frostbite." .”

Bai Yecheng has rich experience. He did a lot of work to make a living in his early years, so he knows more than ordinary people.

"I don't know how to do it. People who know it are from the south. The greenhouse itself does not have great requirements for heat preservation. It may even have to consider the issue of heat dissipation." Li Hanfei said.

As far as the sun in the south is concerned, except for the short period of cold in winter, most of them have to wear short sleeves.

Bai Yecheng only said: "It's actually a truth."

Li Hanfei raised his eyebrows, and Bai Yecheng continued: "One of the main conditions for heat dissipation is to shade the sun, keep the sun out, and then ventilate, so that the greenhouse will not be too hot. Keeping warm is to cover the heat inside. It sounds like It's taking off your pants and farting. I mean, you can add another layer of insulation on the outside. It can be felt or hollow plastic. Put a shelf outside to keep you warm at night in winter and shade during the day in summer .It may be a bit troublesome to use, but it is still good for temperature control.”

As long as sunlight enters the greenhouse during the day, the temperature inside the fire will not be too low.The temperature at night is really a headache.It is so cold that when necessary, even charcoal is burned on both sides to ensure that the temperature will not cause frostbite to the crops grown inside.

Li Hanfei heard these words in his heart.

It's only winter now, summer will always come.But if you go to Antarctica, the temperature there is very low in all seasons.This insulation must be done.

"Then I'll start getting materials when the mountain is more stable. Then I'll trouble you to come over and take a look."

"It's a trivial matter." Bai Yecheng felt warm and planned to leave. He was about to say hello and left when he remembered that he hadn't said anything. "By the way, we have sent soldiers to rescue this time, and we may bring back some people who cannot be resettled. .Now the factory is urgently processing new plastic shelters. If you really save people and come back, there will be a mixed bag of people, and anyone may be there. You should pay more attention then."

Li Hanfei thanked him, then sent Bai Yecheng out, and he continued to clear the snow.

Li Hanfei didn't cook breakfast either. He just put barbed wire on the heating stove and put the dumplings on it to heat up and eat them directly.

Brush the dumplings with a little oil and master the heat. The baked dumplings have a burnt aroma, the outer skin is crispy, and the fillings are fresh and tender.It has a different taste than freshly made dumplings.

After taking a bite, I realized how hungry I was.He finished his portion of leftover dumplings in one sitting, not wanting to touch Yuecheng's bowl.

Li Hanfei glanced at the time and listened to the howling wind outside.

Li Hanfei rubbed some ointment on the back of his itchy hands, set the alarm clock on the tablet, and lay down on the bed to take a nap.

In the afternoon, Yuecheng came back, covered in frost, and looked at the back of Li Hanfei's hand when he entered the door.

Li Hanfei felt fine now, so he only asked about the current situation in Yuecheng.

"The epicenter of the earthquake was 500 meters to the northwest, and the situation over there was even worse. The typhoon was actually detected, but according to the original prediction, it should not come here. The specific reason may be due to rising sea levels, which changed Certain air currents make it so unreachable. But the disaster warning call I made last night worked. After receiving the call, they made some deployments, so the first aid was so fast. They still plan to To commend me, I said that Jiang Yuedong saw it."

Li Hanfei felt relieved, and then asked again: "I heard from Bai Yecheng, maybe we will accept some people to come to our side this time?"

Yuecheng nodded: "I don't know about other places. There is a sea safety zone in the southeast of us. It is directly below where people live. Because the conditions are not very good, a large number of people are still living in tents on bamboo rafts. After the ice breaks, the sea water The gushing directly raised more than one meter, and some people had not reacted, and they lost their body temperature and drowned under the sea water. Even if they were not submerged, getting their clothes wet in such weather was fatal enough. "

Not every place has such good local conditions.

Even Li Hanfei might have faced such a desperate situation if he hadn't left that small shelter and came here by mistake.

"In this way, the water pressure under the ice is quite terrifying. The sea level has not stopped rising, at least the underwater density is increasing, and the pressure is increasing."

Yue Cheng nodded: "This is the only explanation. Originally, the ice layer was thick and could hold on. It's just that the earthquake caused cracks on the surface of the ice. Now some people have been rescued and come back to temporarily live in the big tent. Now the high-level people here are following The high-level negotiations in other resettlement centers simply moved all the survivors here. There was no result before I left."

Li Hanfei couldn't help but think of the simulation video about the impact of the asteroid that he had seen before.

"You said... How much water will there be if the sea level can be raised steadily like this?"

Yuecheng Road: "At least a quarter of all the water on Earth. Even more."

Yuecheng did a rough calculation.

"Is it only a quarter?" Li Hanfei thought it was several times.

Yuecheng said helplessly: "70.00% of the earth's area is covered by water. With such a large volume, it would be quite terrifying to increase the water volume by a quarter. If it really increased by a quarter If there is only one piece of water, I am afraid that only some high-altitude areas in the world can survive.”

"So... now people in China are moving to the Qinghai-Tibet region?"

"Not only at home, but also abroad have begun to demand that we accept refugees, and even open up resettlement centers in various countries in plateau areas, and demand autonomy."

Li Hanfei twitched his lips: "This is colonization, right?"

Immediately, Li Hanfei was shocked: "They won't threaten violence, right? What if they fight?"

Li Hanfei was okay in the face of disasters, but he definitely didn't have the courage to face wars.

Yuecheng shook his head: "They are all within the missile range."

Justice within missile range.No one wants to really go to war with a nuclear power.This is tantamount to courting death.

Li Hanfei felt very relieved when he heard this, and touched Yuecheng's arm with his arm: "You think quite clearly."

Yue Cheng didn't speak, just looked outside, said: "The snow is melting soon. The ice and snow near the equator have already melted."

"Is the equator frozen?" Li Hanfei's focus was obviously different.

Yuecheng nodded: "The global average temperature is about minus [-] degrees. At the lowest point, even the equator is below minus [-] degrees. But it was frozen half a month ago. The country has re-launched into space. Satellites. Because the orbit of the moon has changed, the impact of gravity in space is more complicated and needs to be re-deployed. Five satellite rockets have been launched in a row, and eight satellites have been sent up. Now only two are in normal use. But they have been able to send back A lot of news."

Li Hanfei immediately grabbed Yuecheng's arm: "What about Antarctica?"

Yuecheng just shook his head: "I only heard this, no matter how much more, the local high-level officials don't know. Maybe you need to go to the imperial capital."

Where does Li Hanfei have the energy to go to the imperial capital?He wanted to go to Antarctica almost crazy.

Seeing the disappointment on Li Hanfei's face, Yuecheng said again: "We will always know when we go to the Antarctic. The rescue team there will know more things by then. It is far more useful than asking for information by ourselves."

Li Hanfei is not a person who is immersed in negative energy emotions. When asked by Yuecheng, Li Hanfei immediately changed the subject.

"I'm still a little pity, so many satellites have fallen?"

"It's not necessarily a fall, it's more of a loss of control." Yuecheng Road, "It's just that the original orbit was completely reduced, and after being impacted by unknown electromagnetic waves, it stopped communicating with the ground. However, most of them can still re-enter in the gravity of the earth." Find a balance point and continue to orbit the earth according to an irregular trajectory. In other words, it becomes space junk."

Li Hanfei frowned: "It sounds like a headache."

"Indeed, because to prevent the launched satellites from colliding with them, more sophisticated calculations and orbit planning are required. This may be more troublesome."

Satellites do not fly in the sky for a day or two, but have a life span of several decades.Over the past few decades, no one can guarantee whether it will collide with another satellite, let alone a collision, even if it passes by, it may affect its own orbit.

Yuecheng rubbed Li Hanfei's hair: "Don't think about it, we will talk about this kind of thing in Antarctica. Wait a few more days and see the weather. After the ice and snow melt, we should find time to bring our big ship back to rest .”

Thinking of this, Li Hanfei immediately cheered up.Turning his head and picking up the tablet, he began to list the things that need to be prepared at that time.

Fight for the ice and snow to melt, and after bringing the ship back, finish all the work within a few days, and then set sail directly to Antarctica.

He must think of every detail meticulously, and don't waste any minute.

All of a sudden, a large number of newcomers were added to the mountain, all of whom were victims of the disaster in the surrounding resettlement centers.The factory rushed to make the plastic shelter overnight, and it took several days to come to an end.Counting from the fourth day, the last batch of newcomers who came here to resettle.Over the years, the mountain has grown by nearly a third of its population.

The population surge, the most intuitive feeling is that the number of people competing for resources has increased, which makes the aborigines who were originally on the line of food and clothing feel uneasy.

In addition, the life of the newcomers in the original place is not very good. After coming here and feeling the improvement of the quality of life, they also plan to work with a strong enthusiasm.

The aborigines have a sense of crisis, and the newcomers are also holding together.Naturally, there will be friction and contradictions.

Along with friction and contradictions, the crime rate, which was finally suppressed, rose again.

Fortunately, there are very few sea-dwelling people around the mountain now. In order to avoid a sharp rise in the water level in the coming year, the residents on the mountain have moved to higher places on the mountain.Therefore, the high crime rate did not have a great impact on Li Hanfei.And if he has the energy, he is still ordering things from the government repeatedly.Because most of them are restricted according to the time of the week, they even write down the time when they want to order on the duty sheet, and once they can buy, they will order and go home immediately.

The delivery staff knew Li Hanfei well.Seeing that the purchased materials are piled up again on the bamboo raft, every time someone passes by or looks over, they will cast envious eyes.

Li Hanfei had been waiting for the snow to melt.

After fourteen consecutive days of blizzard and snowstorm, when everyone was exhausted physically and mentally, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the wind finally calmed down.The dark clouds that had been hanging over the sky for half a month finally dissipated.

After half a month without seeing the sun, Li Hanfei felt that he was going to suffer from osteoporosis.Open your arms and enjoy the sunshine on your clothes. It turns out that the winter sun can be so warm.

Li Hanfei was enjoying himself when he suddenly saw his neighbor poking his head out.

"Do you make glutinous rice balls?" Jiang Yue asked.

It was only after this question that Li Hanfei realized that it was the Lantern Festival.

"No!" Li Hanfei was simple and clear.

"We should have enough materials to make some." Jiang Yue said, "Then I'll make yours too."

"Go and get what you need."

Most of the food is divided separately, but things like flour and glutinous rice that are not eaten often, even if they are public property, whoever wants to eat can get them.

Tangyuan is different in the north and south. The north is called Yuanxiao, the materials are different, and the craftsmanship is also different.

Shake the Lantern Festival and make glutinous rice balls.

In the northern Lantern Festival, the stuffing is thrown into the glutinous rice flour-based flour, and then shaken to make the filling evenly coated with flour.The Lantern Festival cooked in this way has thin skin and big stuffing.The glutinous rice balls are wrapped, and the fillings are wrapped with reconciled noodles.The skin is generally thicker, but there will be more space for the filling.Unlike Yuanxiao, which must be semi-solidified.

Either way, it's delicious.Besides, since it is the Lantern Festival, I have to have a bite anyway, to make it auspicious.

The sun came out in the morning, and the snow on the cabin began to bloom in the afternoon.

The snow dripped down, the air humidity increased, and the temperature felt by the body dropped.

But Li Hanfei didn't dislike the cooling in the slightest, and even stood on the bamboo raft, watching the snow melt little by little.

Yuecheng only went to the government in the first few days of the new year to keep busy. Later, it changed from half a day every day to being on call at any time by walkie-talkie.

The young couple is naturally Xiao Biesheng newlyweds, and it's already the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so the tiredness hasn't passed.

Yuecheng went out and looked at the thermometer, reminding Li Hanfei: "It's only a few degrees below zero now."

Li Hanfei said with a smile: "Yes, it's only half a month's work. I don't think there is such a fast time in the Northeast."

"But it will take more than a month for the ice to melt enough to sail." Yuecheng said.

Li Hanfei shook his head without reducing the smile on his lips, "It's okay, since I know how much time is left, this time is not too difficult."

Now that the snow is about to melt, things need to be arranged one by one before leaving.

Li Hanfei plans to have a new bamboo raft greenhouse, which can be built from now on.Although there is not enough space, first make the bamboo rafts step by step, and make several slender bamboo rafts that can be put down on the bamboo rafts. After the ice and snow melt, the slender bamboo rafts will be assembled into one The raft will do just fine.

After coming here, Li Hanfei hoarded quite a lot of hollow plastic boards, and the raft still used bamboo as the bottom to make a raft ten meters long and four meters wide.Of course, four rafts with a width of one meter are made now, and they will be put together after they can enter the water.

Thick bamboo is used as the bottom, and a layer of thin bamboo is put on top.The top layer is a layer of plastic board, which not only ensures flotation, but also has a certain degree of waterproofing.

After doing this, Yuecheng will design the balance problem again and change some details so that the finished bamboo raft will not easily tip over or even roll over in the wind and rain at sea.

These are all very important.

Then there is the issue of staffing.

Needless to say, the brothers and sisters of the Jiang family followed Li Hanfei.Lei Ninghao has to wait for his parents and family to come to him.

The rest are Dou Linwei and his daughter.In less than a month, the school will start school.Dou Yanyan adapted well at school, and had a good experience at school.Compared with young people, the two of them are the last to want to mess around.

After the base of the bamboo raft was built, Li Hanfei took advantage of Dou Linwei's night vigil and came to the container to have a good talk with Dou Linwei.

Dou Linwei somewhat avoided this question.

Li Hanfei relieved him of his worries first, and said: "You don't need to think too much, we just want to make sure who will go to Antarctica. If they stay, we will leave more things. Whether you go or stay, in fact For me, it’s just how much supplies are left behind. You don’t want us young people to break in and take our children with us, so it’s understandable even if we stay. I mean we’re going, some things can’t be taken away. Give it to Bai Yecheng, or leave it to you, this is what I need to consider the most."

Dou Linwei opened his mouth, recognized Li Hanfei's kindness, and looked up in the direction of the shack where he lived.The corners of the lips are a little more helpless.
