Chapter 429 The ozone layer is about to be destroyed
Under normal circumstances, Fucheng would receive information about the progress of the capital's monitoring of the ozone layer depletion. But because someone was interfering, Yu Jie still believed that the ozone layer would not be destroyed until a few months later.
Sun Qing said, "The news about the ozone layer was told to me by an official friend of mine. He said that an official named Zhou in the capital seemed to have a grudge against the mayor of your Fucheng, so he deliberately intercepted the news."
Sun Qing's friend was worried that Sun Qing and her friends would not be able to enter the dungeon after arriving in Floating City, so she told her this news and asked her to use it to exchange for a spot to enter the dungeon.
"Other cities have long known that the ozone layer will be destroyed in half a month. They are now trying their best to improve the underground city, build submarines and ships that can mine, and clothes that can provide oxygen and protect against ultraviolet radiation."
"Only by making these preparations can they continue to dive into the seabed to mine and search for supplies and maintain the operation of the underground city after the glaciers melt and the sea covers the blue planet."
Sun Qing and Ye Xiaojie came to the floating city at this time because the ozone layer was about to be destroyed, and they were worried that the Yuancheng underground city would be completely closed and unable to go out. That's why they took advantage of the chaos to escape when the underground city activated the protection system to isolate the accumulated water.
Xia Xiaoman frowned, "Half a month? This time is too tight. Half a month is not enough to build even a ship."
Ye Xiaojie said, "We can't ship for the time being because we don't have enough materials. But we should be able to make speedboats and ordinary kayaks. As long as we have water transportation, we can have a chance of survival."
When Zhao Mingzhu heard Ye Xiaojie's voice, she clapped her hands and said, "Build, build a big ship!"
Ye Xiaojie lowered her head and smiled, "Yes, we need to build a big ship and go out to find supplies."
Seeing the innocent Zhao Mingzhu, Xiao Zheyu smiled and said, "You know how to build a big ship at such a young age. You are indeed a girl who grew up on a ship."
Ye Xiaojie touched Zhao Mingzhu's head and said, "How could she understand these things? She just learned them by listening to other people talk."
Yuancheng is a coastal city and has an advantage over other inland cities in terms of shipbuilding. After the news of the ozone layer came out, Yuancheng focused on shipbuilding. In such an environment, Zhao Mingzhu also knew that shipbuilding was an important matter.
Xia Xiaoman asked, "Where is Mingzhu's father? Why haven't you mentioned him?"
His wife and daughter left their hometown and came to Fucheng, but the child's father didn't show up. This man is so irresponsible!
Ye Xiaojie was stunned for a moment. If Xia Xiaoman hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten about this tool. "Mingzhu's father died not long after Mingzhu was born."
To be honest, she didn't have a deep impression of Mingzhu's father. From marriage to childbirth, she had seen him less than 20 times in total, and half of them were spent in the house at night making the baby.
Mingzhu's father was in poor health and spent 300 days in the hospital ward out of 360 days a year. She married into the Zhao family only because the Zhao family wanted a child to continue their bloodline. So after she was confirmed to be pregnant, she had not seen Mingzhu's father. The last time they met was at the funeral.
"Mingzhu's grandfather died in the earthquake, and the other relatives didn't care about Mingzhu anymore, so they gradually stopped communicating with her."
Her mother's family was still there, but they were controlled by her brother and sister-in-law, and they didn't want Ye Xiaojie to go back and divide up the supplies. So this time when she came to Fucheng, Ye Xiaojie didn't bring them with her, but only brought a dozen loyal subordinates.
But on the way to the floating city, several people fell into the flood and were washed away. When they found them, their bodies were already swollen.
Xiao Zheyu asked, "Sister Xiaojie, how many people did you bring with you this time? Have you found a place to stay? Do you need my help?"
Ye Xiaojie shook her head. "No need. Mayor Yu arranged accommodation for us yesterday."
They arrived at Fucheng yesterday, and after completing the transaction with Yu Jie, they were taken to get chips and register their cell phones and residences.
When they were registering their information, they asked about Xia Xiaoman. Yu Jie learned that they were Xia Xiaoman's friends and gave them Xia Xiaoman's cell phone number.
After completing the formalities, they were taken to a meeting.
The people Ye Xiaojie brought were all native Yuancheng people, and they could row and drive boats. Although Qiu built steamboats, he could still make ordinary small fishing boats. I dare not say anything else, but they have almost mastered all kinds of water transportation.
After Yu Jie found out, she wanted them to participate in the shipbuilding task, learn how to build the ship, and then test the ship after it was built.
It is safer to let these professionals test the boat than to let people like Fucheng who have never touched a boat test the boat.
"Sun Qing and I came to see you this time, firstly to reminisce about the past, and secondly, to ask for your opinion, whether you want to build a ship with us."
Ye Xiaojie looked at Xia Xiaoman and the others. "Right now, the wages at the shipyard are higher than those of most jobs. In addition, if there are any extra ships, we can take them immediately. This will make it more convenient for us to go out in the future."
Xiao Zheyu was somewhat interested when he heard this, "How much is the salary at the shipyard?"
"1,500 points a month, overtime is extra, food is provided, and there is also a housing allowance."
Su Ran, who had been silent, heard the salary, and his eyes lit up instantly. "1,500 yuan, including food, this is a good treatment! Can I sign up? What are the requirements?"
"There are no requirements. Just have all four limbs intact. You can learn the rest when you start working."
Xia Xiaoman smiled and said after hearing what Ye Xiaojie said, "You said you came to seek refuge with me, but you entered the shipyard the second day after you arrived in Fucheng. You are not coming to seek refuge with me, you clearly want me to seek refuge with you."
Sun Qing smiled awkwardly, "Xiao Man, please stop making fun of us. We have already left our hometown. If not you, who else can we turn to? We are just lucky that Mayor Yu allowed us to enter the shipyard."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu'e's voice was heard outside. Xiao Zheyu stood up and ran out to call Li Yu'e over. They chatted for more than an hour. As the time was approaching midnight, Sun Qing and the others left reluctantly.
…
Two days later, Xia Xiaoman still hadn't seen any official news about the ozone layer.
Just when she thought that the government and the military were going to bear the pressure and make silent efforts, a message was sent out on the electronic bulletin board. Not only did it announce the impending destruction of the ozone layer, but it also told everyone that the meteorite liquid would be available for sale at 5 pm that day.
If you want to buy meteorite liquid, you can click the application link on the official bulletin board on your mobile phone to fill out the information application form. After the application is approved, you can go to the nearest supermarket to buy the diluted meteorite liquid at 5 pm.
There will be a QR code on the bottle containing meteorite liquid. Scan the code and fill in the corresponding verification code to obtain instructions for using the meteorite liquid.
