Chapter 103 Chapter 103

Things went more smoothly than Ji Yang had imagined, and also... a lot safer.

Very few people know about this.

Chief Chen did not publicize it on a large scale. He only told the top leader of the base and two respected scientific research experts. He did not let the two leave that day and sent them directly to the research institute to cooperate with scientific research experts in a series of experiments.

Confirm that their space cannot accommodate humans, but only corpses or other animals and plants.

The two experts felt very sorry, but in the current situation, it was useless to feel sad. Now that the authenticity of the space has been confirmed, they must make use of it as much as possible to increase the survival rate of mankind!

Therefore, the top leader of the base took the lead, and after adding two more people who knew about it, they held a meeting for an afternoon and confirmed the next plan -

The first step is to send these two people to learn how to drive submarines, nuclear submarines, ships and other marine tools. In addition to being able to use them, they also need to be able to perform basic maintenance.

The second step is to quickly collect some species that can be stuffed into the space, whether they are plants, animals, insects, etc., and put as many as can be stuffed in.

Everything they have now is not for the purpose of saving one more life.

They firmly believe that, whether in other countries or their own country, the power of science and technology will always allow some humans to survive.

But how long they can survive may depend on the space these two people have.

At this point, apart from some species preserved in the base itself, there are very few species surviving in this world outside the base. Even many of the species preserved in the base have been destroyed by natural disasters.

But ecological restoration requires them.

It just so happened that space appeared.

The next thing is what the official needs to do, such as creating a survival device unique to them and doing everything possible to ensure that they will survive the next plate movement!

The official speed was much faster than the slow collection of Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi. The two of them didn't even have time to go back home, and were directly sent to the training ground, a port more than 100 kilometers away from the base.

Knowing that they could fly planes and helicopters, the officials were very generous and simply let them fly there every day, and then fly back by themselves after the training was over.

What are you coming back for?

Of course, we are constantly collecting various biological resources collected by the government.

During this period, every time Ji Yang collected some supplies, he would also take out some food. The endless supply of meat and cultivated products in the space were all life-saving foods for the survivors.

Seeing the two people taking out things so generously, they all looked no different from being just pulled out of the ground. The chickens, ducks, geese, quails, sparrows, pigs, cows, sheep, etc. were even alive.

The director of the institute said meaningfully: "So those herbs were all grown by you guys. I was wondering why they were so fresh. You can tell they were just processed."

"I didn't even think about it at the time. Who could have imagined that there were such magical things in the world?"

The two of them remained calm. Ji Yang was already familiar with the old dean, so he could even smile and ask, "How did I handle it? Not bad, right?"

The dean hummed with envy and jealousy: "It's okay."

Which Xia people wouldn’t like such a good farming space?

Especially since he studies Chinese medicine, he is simply a treasure!

The opportunities between people are really incomparable.

He turned around and pulled Ji Yang aside, and took every opportunity to teach her how to better preserve the medicinal properties, and how to diagnose and prescribe medicine for some simple diseases. As he taught, he felt sorry for her strong comprehension ability. If he had met her earlier and accepted her as a student, then after the natural disaster, mankind would have had another powerful doctor who had countless herbs. How great it would be!

*

After intensive study for a month and a half, both of them passed the test with full marks.

This is not flying a plane.

They are eager to survive and have an unprecedented learning ability. The coaches who teach them are reluctant to let them go: "Why are you going back after learning all this? It's just right for you to stay here with us. In the future, we can survive on a nuclear submarine together!"

But they still have to go back.

On the day of the training, Commander Chen led them out of the base and came to a place 30 kilometers away from the base. After turning a hill, they saw a group of containers guarded by a group of soldiers.

"These are the resources our Changnan base left for the humans after the natural disaster. The parts given to you are all here." Chief Chen said with a smile: "They are all for use. There is not much to eat, and there are not many medicinal herbs. Anyway, you can produce them yourselves, and we can save as much as we can."

Ji Yang looked at the things in front of him. There were much more than he had imagined, more than fifty containers, and each container had a space of about ten square meters, which means there were five hundred square meters of space.

About one twentieth of the still space.

During this period, she and Xie Muchi had taken out almost all the supplies that could be taken out of the space, but they did not take out the things that could not be taken out... For example, the packaged items that Ji Yang had stockpiled in advance.

Again, space can be exposed, but rebirth cannot.

Once these things are taken out, the space will definitely be exposed.

The freed-up space is large enough to accommodate all of these with ease.

Chief Chen smiled and said, "I'll leave this to you. Next you have to go to the Capital Base. Please take the three green containers on the far right to the Capital Base."

"Got it." Ji Yang and Xie Muchi nodded.

Instead of letting them arrest them on the spot, Commander Chen sent the people there and said hello. The group of soldiers guarding there immediately got in the car and left. In just a few minutes, the surroundings disappeared and only the two of them were left.

Ji Yang went over to take them. With just a thought, he could feel what was inside. The boxes contained everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, from small to large, and they contained all the products that mankind had made so far.

From ancient times to the present, the Changnan Base has collected books, texts and other information resources; various styles of clothing, all edible food samples and seeds, medicinal materials, various medical equipment, high-tech equipment, weapons and other things.

Too many!

——

The containers are very neat, so they can be stacked like building blocks in the space, saving space.

After packing up, Xie Muzhi took out the helicopter, filled it with gas, and the two set off immediately.

Earthquakes have been becoming more frequent recently, and the time left is becoming more and more urgent.

When they arrived at the Capital Base, the two did not go in, but found the agreed signal near the base. They slowly landed and someone immediately came to take over. This time there was still only one person.

The two were very surprised and looked around.

"The commander said the fewer people who know about this, the better. I'm the only one here." The officer who came over saluted and pointed to the more than 100 containers in front of him: "Everything you need to take is here. These boxes are not locked. They are all animals. There are also some plants. These are cultural relics... Please store them according to the requirements written on them."

After saying this, the officer sighed, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he didn't say them. He just said, "You two must live well!"

Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi nodded solemnly: "We will."

Then she took out the things that Changnan Base asked them to bring, put them away under the shocked gaze of the officer, and went to the next base.

There are five major bases, one each in the southeast, northwest, northeast and central regions. The farthest one is the base near the roof of the world. We were delayed for one day there due to lack of oxygen. Everything was over in just three days.

When they came back to report, Commander Chen looked at them and couldn't help but sigh: "It's worthy of being such a magical thing. It's so efficient."

If this is transported manually, I don’t know how long it will take.

Ji Yang smiled: "When the base is built in the future, we will be transporters. We can deliver supplies to wherever humans can go. How great is that."

Chief Chen also burst into laughter, looking forward to it: "I hope I can live to that time, it will definitely be amazing!"

After completing the 'entrustment' of the base, there was nothing else to do next. They had a golden finger, but Xia Guo would never put all their hopes on one person.

The existence of the golden finger only gives them one more person to entrust their orphan to.

Just like the saturation rescue that has been played out countless times in movies.

Countless seeds set out from this wave of natural disaster, and as long as one successfully reaches the shore in the end, they will be successful.

Ji Yang and Xie Muchi are just the slightly stronger ones among this group of seeds.

After doing all these things, the two finally returned home after being away for almost twenty days.

Everything was normal in the house. When the neighbors saw them coming back, they greeted them warmly: "I thought something happened to you. I was scared to death."

"Boss, we have been watching over you these days, everything is fine!"

"Boss, are you all right?"

"Thank you, we are fine." Ji Yang said with a smile. In the past, people had to survive natural disasters, and many survivors killed each other for survival resources. Ji Yang had no intention of harming others, but he had been harmed too many times and was very repulsive to other humans.

But at this time, it is a battle for the survival of all mankind.

Looking at them again, I felt a kind of saddened feeling, and their attitude was a little more enthusiastic than before.

After asking Xie Muzhi to park the car, Ji Yang took out a few cans from the car and gave them to the neighbors: "This is what we exchanged for this time. Sorry for bothering you these days."

"It's not a big deal, it's not a big deal." The neighbor was very embarrassed. "It's really nothing, our neighborhood is very safe!"

Ji Yang still stuffed it in.

The earthquake was getting bigger and bigger. Ji Yang and his team were busy outside. They also knew the situation at the base, so they only shook out some water at the beginning. Yesterday, it reached the level of a magnitude 5 earthquake.

The house was still solid and there was nothing serious wrong with it.

But many people were injured.

But no one knew what was going on. No one even knew where to run. From time to time, there were extreme weather conditions such as hail, so everyone had to stay in the base.

The base also did not dare to tell ordinary survivors that plate movement was about to destroy the land.

However, although everyone does not know, they can more or less guess what the future will be like. This year is the eighth year of natural disasters, and after being tortured by natural disasters for so long, the survivors have long been numb.

The base refused to say anything, surely because they were afraid they couldn't handle it.

Those who have guessed it are no longer the same as before and insist on getting to the bottom of it. Let's just make do with it. Don't worry, it might really be a last gasp. The base has recently provided a lot more food and meat than before, and the price is cheaper.

The survivors, who were once so poor that they had to tighten their belts to make ends meet, were now able to have a fairly full meal occasionally, and they could see their bodies grow some weight.

Someone laughed and joked: "God wants us to die of gluttony, which is good, very good!"

When they returned home and waited for the next arrangements, the two of them started to meet their previous friends tacitly.

Every time I go to see him, I bring a generous gift.

All kinds of food.

Ji Yang first gave Zhao Xing a portion of food, which included five plump live rabbits, a basket of various eggs, and a large bag of frozen river seafood, including ten fish alone.

The generosity of this gift is comparable to giving someone a luxury car before a natural disaster.

Zhao Xing was so scared that he hugged her and cried, "Are you sick and dying?! Wuuuu, I still have points, don't scare me like this..."

You have spent all your family savings, right?

Ji Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She still didn't believe even after she explained, so she could only let her cry for a long time with a stone face. When the time was almost up, she coldly pulled Zhao Xing away and went home.

Tired.

Socializing is indeed tiring.

There will be the Li family tomorrow.

As a result, Li Yi and Jiang Jing had the same idea, believing that she must have encountered some unsolvable problem, which was why she was sending such things to her as if she was entrusting an orphan to someone else.

"Really?" Ji Yang explained patiently, "It's just that these things don't have a very long shelf life, so I gave them to you. Please help eat them so they don't go to waste."

Li Yi looked at her with tears in his eyes.

Jiang Jing had a complicated look on her face: "We still have some savings. Don't hide anything from us!"

"I swear, I'm fine!" Ji Yang raised his hand and swore.

Seeing her rosy face and firm tone, Li Yi and Jiang Jing stopped asking questions and accepted the things.

When leaving, Ji Yang was suddenly stopped by a hoarse female voice.

She turned around and saw a strange yet somewhat familiar woman looking at her suspiciously. When their eyes met, the woman slowly widened her eyes, and after confirming, her expression became complicated again.

The previous hostility and pride are gone, only a sigh remains.

"You are really still alive."

Ji Siyue spoke first.

There was a hint of joy in his tone.

Ji Yang also remembered who this person was. She smiled and said, "Well, you're still alive, that's good."

Ji Siyue pursed her lips and said, "Dad said he went out during the flood, then he disappeared and never came back."

"Yeah." Ji Yang responded lightly.

Ji Siyue was speechless and looked at her enviously without saying much. She was just excited to see an acquaintance. They were not friends, nor were they enemies, but what her mother had done made it impossible for the two of them to live in peace.

Ji Yang has the same attitude.

After a brief exchange, Ji Siyue turned and left.

Ji Yang also left from the other side.

The last one is Feng Yexing.

When Ji Yang came to the door with a package from the boss, she was not there. Her sister said she was on duty, and Ji Yang did not stay long: "It's okay, tell her that the package was sent by someone named Ji Yang."

The little girl timidly wanted to return it, but Ji Yang went out first.

When she chased him to the door, she didn't dare go out and could only watch Ji Yang go away. Finally, she stomped her feet in annoyance, glanced at the big bag of things, and began to worry. Her sister said that their lives were already better than most people, and they couldn't take other people's things.

What should I do?

——

Ji Yang's friends all left in three days, but Xie Muchi had more friends, so he was busy for more than ten days and it's not over yet.

But the arrangements for them have already been made: "The earthquakes are becoming more and more frequent. At most in a month, they will reach the predicted peak. By then, the entire Blue Planet will be in turmoil. For safety reasons, you should stay over there first."

That's the port.

They both knew what the decision was.

They cannot survive with others. When danger comes, they cannot bring others into the space, which will only add to the burden.

On the road to survival, they only have each other.

Since so many supplies are placed with them, the base will not let the two of them go to the battlefield so alone, but the current nuclear submarines, warships and the like are not suitable for them.

Two people can't fly these guys.

In order to maximize the use of space, a number of super luxurious ammunition sets have been placed in the space for two people.

No need to worry about size and weight, it's just great.

With this, no matter if you encounter danger in the water or on land, few people can withstand the artillery fire.

What remains is the threat from natural disasters.

Seawater backflow, changes in the environment, land squeezing and other situations mean that the escape tools need to be strong enough to withstand collisions and other problems caused by environmental changes.

During this period, almost all the official engineering personnel worked hard day and night to tailor an escape submarine specifically for them.

Using nuclear energy as fuel, it can hide in the sea for a long time, launch nuclear bombs and missiles, and is lightweight and fast...

In short, a super-tough survival submarine that carries a nuclear strike.

In comparison, the lifeboat that Ji Yang had previously stockpiled at great expense seemed so weak!

As soon as she heard about this good thing, she decisively told them that if they could really get it, she would only keep two of the life capsules in her space and contribute the rest.

Commander Chen sighed and said, "You two kids are well prepared!"

Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi smiled shyly and did not refute.

So the two of them settled down at the port.

They stayed there for more than half a month. Their ultra-small submarine was completed, and they brought two people along to participate in the testing.

The submarine has a low carrying capacity and a small space. It can only accommodate five people at most. If there are more people, they may have difficulty turning around. When it comes to formal use, it has shortcomings in almost every aspect.

People who do this don’t understand why the higher-ups make such a request. This is such a waste of resources!

But they still did it as required.

The two technicians plus Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi drove the submarine for two days to conduct a test. The submarine's hull was strong enough to be durable and pressure-resistant, and it also traveled very fast.

So they followed this river all the way to the deep sea.

Since Ji Re left, Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi had not been to the sea again. They were full of expectations, but when they really reached the deep sea, their faces changed: "Why are there so few creatures in the sea?!"

The two had drifted in the sea for more than ten days before. There were many more creatures during that period, and the high temperature of over 60 degrees did not reduce the number of creatures in the ocean. But now, after sailing for half a day, they could only occasionally see some slightly larger sea fish. Most of them were small fish and shrimps, and the density was not even one percent of what it was before.

The technician lamented, "The acid rain lasted for so long before that the larger marine creatures had to surface to breathe, but once they surfaced they were corroded by the acid rain. After the acid rain, many corpses floated to our side, and most of them were rotten, with only a small half of the body left..."

Ji Yang's head buzzed and he swayed.

Xie Muchi hurried to support her, but he himself was not much better.

All, all gone?!

Ji Yang always subconsciously thought that the ocean's regulatory ability was so strong that even if some marine life was sacrificed, they would not be wiped out.

But she refused to think about creatures like whales. They all need to breathe. Some powerful ones can hold their breath for a longer period of time, but the acid rain lasted for more than a short time. Once they couldn't bear it and came to the surface - or forced themselves to hold their breath - no matter which choice they made, they were fighting against death.

Indeed, the chances of survival are slim.

But are it really true that only the creatures in her small sea area are left?

There were still a lot of big ones that she couldn’t fit in!

The technician said hurriedly: "It's not completely gone, there must be some alive!"

"Have you seen it?" Ji Yang's eyes lit up and he became a little more alert.

The technician hesitated: "Is that so?"

In fact, he had never seen them. After testing so many nuclear submarines, he had never encountered those cute big guys again.

But they always firmly believed that the group of sea elves would never disappear completely!

Ji Yang probably understood it, but didn't dare to ask any more questions. Like the technicians, he just kept hopeful. Nature was so magical, how could there not be miracles? !

Acid rain did not affect the ocean for a long time. Its regulating ability has always been strong. Today's ocean is still the one that can feed countless creatures. It's just that in just three short years, the ecology has not yet recovered.

The test was completed in two days.

This ultra-small submarine is much better than expected. It can reach a depth of more than 3,000 meters under the sea, which is not its limit. The staff are just worried about affecting the life of the submarine, so they decided to stop while they are ahead.

"If you encounter an extreme environment, it is more important to save your life. It is not a problem to hide a few hundred meters below the ground."

"Also, you can't carry many weapons. If you encounter humans, don't rush up to them the first time. It would be bad if they are bad guys. Run if you can!"

"You should have learned the basic maintenance and repairs, right? If you have any questions, please ask me now. We only have a short time."

The staff kept chattering on the way back.

It is obvious that this ultra-small submarine is for the two people in front of us. It is not as good as other real nuclear submarines, where the maintenance personnel, combat personnel, command personnel, etc. have clear division of labor, resulting in the simplification of many things and even the removal of many functions.

But being able to get this thing means that the two of them may have a more important mission to perform.

Therefore, the staff wanted to take out his brain and make a copy for them.

But don't let yourself fail to solve problems when you encounter them in the future, or you will end up dying outside.

Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi were not arrogant either. They asked questions humbly. Worried that they would not be able to remember, they would take a camera to record the knowledge points every time and look at them over and over again later.

The submarine docked at around 1 a.m.

The two staff members said goodbye to them, but they did not leave. Instead, they drove the submarine out again, out of the range that the official could detect, put the submarine into space, and then changed to a speedboat and drove back to the shore.

The military guards who didn’t recognize them mistook them for survivors who came here to try to catch food. When they were taken ashore, they were given a lecture: “Didn’t we tell you there aren’t many fish here? If you can’t catch anything, you’ll lose your life.”

Earthquakes can trigger small tsunamis at any time. This ordinary small speedboat can be overturned by a small wave, let alone a tsunami.

Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi lowered their heads and looked at each other as they were scolded, not daring to say a word.

The soldier saw that they knew their mistakes, sighed, and waved his hand: "Okay, go back."

The two were released and ran away quickly.

Perhaps without the shackles in his heart, Ji Yang was in a much more lively mood. He was not unhappy after being scolded like this. He happily pulled Xie Muzhi and asked, "Where are we going next?"

The last arrangement Chief Chen gave them was the testing of the ultra-small submarine.

Originally, there were no more places available, but their situation was special. In order to ensure their survival, the authorities spared no expense and had people do their best to build a submarine tailor-made for them.

Now what needs to be collected has been collected, and what needs to be installed has been installed.

Commander Chen also let them arrange their final time as they wish.

As they ran, the ground beneath their feet shook again, and the collision of plates became louder. The two staggered and managed to keep their balance and not fall.

After waiting for a while and making sure that nothing serious happened, the two found a secluded place, took out the car, and began to think about where to go.

"Let's go back to the base first, hand over the lifeboat, and then go to the beach." Xie Muzhi said, "If anything happens at the beach, we can just hide in the sea."

Ji Yang nodded: "Okay!"
