Chapter 134 The Reasons for Frequent Natural Disasters
With a boyfriend in the system and two neighbors who are ministers with extensive connections, Fu Baiwei can always get inside information before others.
He asked for leave from the captain, pulled Xia Xiaoman to the side and asked, "What happened? Why are you looking for me at this time?"
It was only nine o'clock in the morning. Normally, Xia Xiaoman rarely came to see her during her working hours.
"Did you hear the message just broadcast by the patrol team? The higher-ups suddenly forced us to clean the sewers. Did you receive any news?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Fu Baiwei looked around and saw that there was no one nearby. She lowered her voice and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. I'll come to you after work later. Don't worry. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If it really can't hold it up, the worst that can happen is that we die together."
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
Now that the word 'death' has been mentioned, how can we not be worried?
…
After waiting anxiously for a whole day, Fu Baiwei finally arrived around six in the afternoon, and Sun Haiyun also came with her.
Xia Xiaoman invited them into the house, poured them two glasses of water, and then asked, "Is there something in the sewer? Why do we suddenly have to clean the sewer?"
Due to lack of manpower, post-disaster reconstruction only cleaned up the sludge on the ground and underground.
They had originally planned to clean up after electricity was restored, but God never gave them enough time. Natural disasters and insect pests struck, resulting in the floating city still not having electricity, and the sludge in the sewers naturally had not been cleaned up.
Fu Baiwei said, "I heard from Aunt Xing that the reason for cleaning the sewers is because the higher-ups want to build an underground city, so they asked us to clean the sewers and plan to build an underground city based on the sewers."
"Build an underground city?" Xia Xiaoman muttered to herself. In a flash, she suddenly thought of something. "Did the higher-ups detect something and think the ground is not suitable for human survival, so they want to build an underground city?"
It is easy to say that an underground city is easy to build, but it is actually very difficult to build.
The underground structure is complex and there are many underground rivers in the floating city. If you are not careful, collapse may occur.
If the ground environment was not unsuitable for human survival, why would Fucheng go to so much trouble to build an underground city?
Fu Baiwei didn't say anything, but turned her head to look at Sun Haiyun. Sun Haiyun sighed, and didn't rush to answer Xia Xiaoman's question, but asked: "What do you think caused the frequent natural disasters in the past year?"
Xia Xiaoman frowned and murmured, "There are many reasons for disasters, but the reason why natural disasters happen so frequently..." Suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Sun Haiyun, "Could it be that the geomagnetic field has changed?"
Sun Haiyun nodded heavily. "I guess so! A friend of mine told me that it detected that the orbit of the Blue Planet has shifted, causing the rotation of the Blue Planet's core and the geomagnetic motion trajectory it brings to change, affecting the Blue Planet's magnetic field."
"The tsunami that occurred in Yuancheng, which was rare in a thousand years, was most likely caused by changes in the magnetic field and the gravity of the moon, which led to the tsunami. The various natural disasters we have experienced are also caused by changes in the geomagnetic field..."
Xia Xiaoman's face suddenly turned ugly. "If the geomagnetic field doesn't return to its original state, will all kinds of natural disasters continue to occur on Blue Planet?"
Sun Haiyun consoled him palely, "Not necessarily. Everything has a running-in period. Maybe when the Blue Planet adapts to its current orbit, the natural disasters will gradually stop."
"How long will it take to get used to each other?" Fu Baiwei asked.
Sun Haiyun sighed and shook his head, "I don't know. Perhaps we have to wait until the sea turns into mulberry fields and the desert turns into the ocean before these frequent disasters will stop."
Xia Xiaoman's face was heavy. Anyone would not be in a good mood when hearing that disasters might happen frequently in the future.
The atmosphere in the living room was a little depressing. Sun Haiyun took a deep breath and said as optimistically as possible: "In short, we must be prepared for a long battle."
"The current trajectory of the Blue Planet is not conducive to human survival. The people above speculate based on the current trajectory of the Blue Planet and predict that in the future our Xia Country and even the entire Eastern Hemisphere will enter a state of eternal night or eternal day."
"In the eternal night, we can still rely on lights for lighting. But in the eternal day...if the temperature in the eternal day is as hot as it was a while ago, none of us will be able to go out and will be trapped at home."
Building an underground city is not something that can be accomplished overnight, but in order to prevent the sudden appearance of polar day, the floating city can only force everyone to participate in cleaning the sewers.
If midnight day comes, at least they can go to other places through the sewers and not be trapped at home waiting to die.
"I guess, once the sewers are cleaned up, the higher-ups will think of a way to dig tunnels under the city so that we can travel freely through the tunnel entrances."
Xia Xiaoman frowned. "The floating city is so big, and many buildings have foundations several dozen meters deep. It should be impossible to dig a tunnel!"
Fu Baiwei said: "As long as we don't let our thinking slip, there are always more solutions than problems. Even if we don't think of a solution, the people above will find a way to dig out the tunnel."
Sun Haiyun smiled and said, "We'll work it out when the time comes. We'll talk about the future later! The weather station is damaged now, and no one knows if there will be a devastating disaster someday in the future."
“Live every day as if it were your last, and try not to have any regrets.”
Xia Xiaoman: “…”
What he said made so much sense that she was speechless to refute.
…
The next morning, at 6:40, Xia Xiaoman appeared at the gate of the community on time.
The staff was already registering everyone's information. Xia Xiaoman randomly found a team and queued up quietly.
About half an hour later, it was her turn. Xia Xiaoman took out her ID card and household registration booklet, and while the staff was registering her information, she looked at the wooden sign standing next to her.
The wooden sign said "sewer cleaning". They would be responsible for everyone's three meals a day, and would also record everyone's work points.
The purpose of the work points was not written there, but she subconsciously felt that the work points should be quite important. Perhaps they were points for entering the future underground city, or they could be exchanged for something that could save her life.
"Now that you have registered, go find your supervisor and ask him to assign you a job." After saying that, the staff member gave Xia Xiaoman an ID card.
She picked up her work badge and looked at it. It had her name and ID number written on it. At the bottom of the ID number was written the team she belonged to and the person in charge.
The team he belongs to is Shuiyue Bay Team 12, and the teams should be distinguished by their addresses. The person in charge is named Zhou Wenyu, which sounds quite polite.
Xia Xiaoman walked forward a few steps with his work badge, and soon he saw someone holding a wooden sign that read "Shuiyue Bay Team 12".
(PS: To clarify, the claim that the planetary trajectory deviation and magnetic field changes caused natural disasters is made up by Fat Cat. Please don’t take it seriously and don’t delve into it. I won’t refute it if you delve into it. After all, Fat Cat only has a superficial understanding of this aspect and cannot refute it (#^.^#))
