Chapter 440: A Big Hole in the Ozone Layer
There were two bottles of meteorite liquid left, which Xia Xiaoman took over two days.
After absorbing all four meteorite liquids, Xia Xiaoman's strength became three times greater than before, his speed increased five times, and his height grew to 1.67 meters.
After successfully absorbing the meteorite liquid and making sure there was nothing wrong with his body, Xia Xiaoman let Maodan drink the first meteorite liquid to try to evolve.
Maodan was reluctant to drink it at first. When he smelled the meteorite liquid, his hair stood on end. Only after Xia Xiaoman slapped him three times did he obediently drink the meteorite liquid.
After drinking the meteorite liquid, Maodan fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he was a lot bigger, and his claws and teeth were much sharper and harder.
Meanwhile, a video of a giant hole in the ozone layer played live on an electronic bulletin board.
In the video, there was a strange sun shower outside, and the place where the halo originally appeared became brighter and brighter. The light shone on the water surface, making it sparkle. It seemed that there was a big hole in the ozone layer, but it didn't cause much disaster.
However, the inspectors found that the oxygen outside was dropping sharply, while the ultraviolet rays were so strong that they were terrifying. Even with a layer of rain curtain blocking it, the tested ultraviolet results were greater than level 15, and the intensity of the ultraviolet rays was still rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If you go out under such ultraviolet intensity, your skin will be sunburned in just a few minutes.
The floating organisms on the seafloor were also killed by the ultraviolet rays without anyone noticing. Some green plants on the hillsides that had not yet been submerged were inhibited from photosynthesis by the ultraviolet radiation, and their leaves gradually turned yellow.
The destruction of the ozone layer may not have any impact on humans in the short term, but in fact, the blue planet has quietly changed.
On the other hand, Xia Xiaoman was worried that Maodan would not be able to absorb the meteorite liquid if he drank too much at once, so he gave Maodan the meteorite liquid over four days, one bottle a day, to give it a buffer period.
After taking the meteorite liquid, Nini became very afraid of Maodan. Whenever Maodan entered the wild park, Nini would have a stress reaction.
After seeing this, Director Hou thought about it and gave Nini the meteorite liquid. However, after drinking the meteorite liquid, Nini's body did not change much and she still resisted the hairy egg.
Director Hou was worried and asked someone to check Nini. It turned out that Nini was pregnant with triplets. The meteorite liquid was absorbed by the wolf cubs in her belly, so Nini did not change much.
When Director Hou learned that Nini was pregnant, he smiled so hard that his teeth were visible. He even went to the farm to buy two old hens for Nini to eat as a snack.
In order to help Nini give birth to wolf cubs smoothly, Director Hou took Nini to live in a special park for childbirth. After Nini left, the wild park completely became Maodan's private territory. Xia Xiaoman would train Maodan in the wild park every day when he was free.
Now that there is a big hole in the ozone layer, the day when they go out to scout the terrain is not far away. She must strengthen her training and be prepared for the future.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. During this month, it had been raining intermittently outside, and the accumulated water had completely submerged the underground city.
Xia Xiaoman was training Maodan's ambush skills in the wild park when suddenly her cell phone rang with a message alert. She clicked on it and saw that it was a message from Sun Qing.
"It has been confirmed that the ship being built now is for our use. It is expected to be completed within a month."
Xia Xiaoman replied, "We will have a meeting at 8pm to discuss countermeasures."
After sending the message to Sun Qing, Xia Xiaoman sent messages to Li Yu'e, Wang Shijin and Xie Yi respectively, informing them of the meeting in the evening.
At 7:50 that evening, Sun Qing and others arrived one after another.
Xie Yi came with Wang Shijin and Qin Shuyan. When Xia Xiaoman saw Xie Yi, she almost didn't recognize him. The handsome Xie Yi had turned into a rough and strong man with a beard.
Xia Xiaoman joked: "Xie Yi, did your hair evolve? Why is your hair so lush?"
Xie Yi smiled and said, "It mainly evolved strength and speed, and the hair was a by-product."
He absorbed an excessive amount of energy from the meteorite, and in order to save him, the laboratory could only try their best to transfer this energy to other places that would not affect his health too much, so he turned into a bearded uncle.
Xie Yi pointed at the short-haired beauty standing next to him, "Her name is Qin Shuyan. She is very good at swimming and can hold her breath and swim in the water for about fifteen minutes."
Xia Xiaoman nodded to Qin Shuyan, "Hello, my name is Xia Xiaoman, you can just call me Xiaoman."
After a brief self-introduction, Xia Xiaoman got down to business. "In about a month, we will be out exploring the terrain. Before that, I think we can train and get used to each other, so that we can cooperate better when we go on missions in the future."
"I suggest that we conduct theoretical training first to understand the main structure of the ship and the basic knowledge of sailing. If the people who know how to sail are not here, we can sail and save ourselves."
Sun Qing nodded in agreement, "Xiaojie and I can teach you how to sail."
Xia Xiaoman looked at everyone, "Do you have any other opinions?"
Seeing that no one was talking, Xia Xiaoman continued, "Since there is no objection, then it is settled. In ten days, everyone on board must remember all the knowledge points about the ship and learn how to drive the ship."
"In the remaining twenty days, we will use ten of them to train everyone to adapt to the ship. Sun Qing, find a way for us to experience firsthand what it's like to be on a ship. It would be best if we can train ourselves to the point where we can stand firmly on the ship even if it capsizes."
"In the last ten days, we will do physical training. Everyone should come to the sixth floor science museum every night for sparring and find the most suitable attacking moves for each of you."
She had already agreed with Director Hou that she would arrange for people to come to the wild park for training at night. Director Hou knew that she was going to form a fleet, so he readily agreed to Xia Xiaoman's request.
Ye Xiaojie said, "I suggest that we first have everyone do ship training. If someone gets seasick, we can arrange for them to strengthen their training in advance. If they really can't overcome the problem of seasickness, we can also replace them in time."
Xia Xiaoman looked at her and said, "Can you set up a place to test seasickness in two days?"
Sun Qing interrupted, "No need to arrange anything. There is a place specifically for testing seasickness at the shipyard."
Xia Xiaoman nodded and said, "Okay, then we will go to the shipyard to gather at 7:30 tomorrow night to test the seasickness. Any other suggestions?"
"I have a question." Su Ran said, "How do we explore the terrain when we go out? Also, if we encounter danger, what weapons should we use to resist? We can't just rely on the two machetes in our hands, right?"
Xia Xiaoman said, "The ship will be equipped with instruments for exploring the terrain. When the ship is installed, someone should be there to teach us how to use it. Don't worry about it for now."
"As for weapons, Mayor Yu will prepare them for us. Ten days before departure, in addition to physical training, we will learn how to use these weapons."
