Chapter 1020 Greedy and Struck by Thunder
After two days and two nights of hard work, the rescue mission was finally completed.
According to statistics, there were two victims killed in the Hai City base, 76 victims were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured and insignificant.
Compared with previous disasters, the casualty rate is much lower. But I feel empty without my house, and my life feels bleak and hopeless.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan leaned against each other. Compared with most people who were pessimistic and desperate, they were much calmer. It was cold outside, and even though they were surrounded by tents and stoves, they felt pain in their bones.
Bi Qiaoan even wondered if these young men and women would be affected in their fertility if they continued to freeze like this. She secretly told Shen Yanming about it, but her husband just smiled and didn't answer.
Bi Qiaoan thought, it should be fine. After all, the temperature in Sos Country, which is north of Qinghua Country, was minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius in winter before the end of the world. They have been frozen for so many years and have no fertility problems. They have only been here for a few days, so they should not be that fragile.
Officer Wen did not let everyone wait any longer, and soon the news came that the guard team was going to lead everyone to dig caves and dugouts outside the base. These two methods were the fastest and easiest solutions to the current problem.
The guys were not very excited after hearing this. The problem that needed to be solved was not only about housing, but also about life.
In order to restore everyone's confidence, Wen Chaohui invited the base technicians to come over. Although the earthquake once again destroyed the technological civilization, after emergency repairs, the televisions that were not damaged were still connected to the satellite signal. Wen Chaohui gathered everyone together to watch the news from the Imperial Capital.
General Li stood in front of the camera and solemnly explained the cause of the earthquake, which was a large-scale volcanic eruption.
This kind of natural disaster cannot be prevented by human power, so they can only accept it calmly. Fortunately, most volcanoes are in remote areas, so there are not many casualties.
However, due to previous earthquakes, tsunamis, thermal eruptions and other reasons, new volcanoes were formed in many places, and the boiling magma directly wiped out all traces of human existence.
"Dear survivors, please do not panic. Although a disaster has befallen us, we have a space expert to back us up. As long as he is here, we will not lack food. As long as he is here, we can preserve the fire of humanity."
After Li Zongmengguan finished speaking, he asked Li Sa to turn the camera to the upgraded space. There was an endless field with mountains and water.
If it weren't for Chief Alliance Officer Li explaining that this was a space, everyone would have thought it was a scenic spot before the end of the world.
"Don't worry, as long as the alliance exists, we will never give up on you. If we work together, we will usher in a new world."
When everyone saw the heavy food, they suddenly felt hopeful. After the live broadcast ended, they happily followed the guards to dig holes.
But they didn’t know that Li Sikai from Dijing was lying weakly on the hospital bed, unable to even sit in a wheelchair.
As soon as General Li left the space, he began to sigh. Now most of the granaries in Qinghua Country are running out of food, and their only source of food is here. But Li Sikai's physical condition is worrying, and I really don't know how long he can hold on.
"Uncle, don't worry. There will always be a way when you reach the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the front." Li Sikai stretched out his pale right hand, held the left hand of Chief Alliance Officer Li, and comforted him.
Chief Alliance Officer Li, with white hair on his temples, nodded: "Yes, it will be fine."
The atmosphere between the two was somewhat heavy. At this moment, a hasty knock on the door broke the stare between the uncle and nephew.
Qiu Man went to open the door, and saw Jiang Ji pushing him open and squeezed in. He hugged General Li and said, "Dear, there is a discovery, a major discovery!"
Three black lines appeared on General Alliance Officer Li's forehead. He pushed Jiang Ji away with disgust: "What are you doing? Hugging and hugging each other. You are not dignified at all!"
Jiang Ji didn't care either, and smiled like a brilliant old chrysanthemum: "Hehehe, hehe, if you knew what I discovered, you would definitely be more excited than me."
"What? Tell me!" Chief Alliance Officer Li asked him to sit down and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Guess!" Jiang Ji was still keeping the answer in suspense.
Chief Alliance Officer Li's heart moved, and he asked tentatively: "Has there been a breakthrough in space folding technology?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Ji couldn't hold back his excitement. He showed off without even touching it: "Let me tell you, the black stone you gave me is actually the legendary space stone. Smelt it into existing materials, and then..."
Jiang Ji talked a lot, and to sum it up, the black boulder brought him a major breakthrough in his research.
The people present didn't understand the professional terms Jiang Ji was talking about. Chief Alliance Officer Li waited for him to finish and asked directly, "Have you developed a space storage device?"
"Ah, not yet!" Jiang Ji's smile froze, and he shook his head and said, "How can it be so fast! I came here this time just to tell you that there has been a breakthrough in the research. Maybe in three to five years, there will be results."
Chief Alliance Officer Li couldn't hide the disappointment on his face. He looked at Jiang Ji with disdain, as if to say, "Why are you so useless!"
Jiang Ji felt like he was stabbed in the chest. He thought to himself, he has already done his research to the last step, how can he still be despised? Shouldn't he be worshipped?
Chief Alliance Officer Li didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely say, "I'm afraid to treat you well. You're too proud!"
"Okay, I got it. Go back to the lab and try to produce results within a year." Chief Alliance Officer Li said nonchalantly.
"One year?" Jiang Ji looked at Chief Alliance Officer Li in disbelief. "Are you kidding me? Let alone one year, even if we can figure it out in two or three years, it will be recorded in history! You actually want me to figure it out in one year, that's really bullying! Li Cheng, I warn you, don't be greedy, greed will be struck by lightning!"
Jiang Ji became bolder because of his scientific research achievements and even dared to call Chief Alliance Officer Li by his name.
Chief Alliance Officer Li glared at him and said through gritted teeth, "Don't you think about how much manpower and resources the Alliance has to invest in the laboratory every year? Those resources are more than enough to support a base. But your team only has a dozen people. I also have a word for you, don't be greedy, greed will be struck by lightning!"
Jiang Ji was stunned, touched his nose awkwardly, and smiled.
"Well, that's how scientific research is. A lot of materials are needed, but a lot of materials are wasted. If we researchers don't eat and drink well, our bodies won't be able to bear it. Who will do the research day and night? Don't you think so?
Mr. Li, there is output only if there is investment, and the research results of our team are definitely worthy of your efforts! "Jiang Ji smiled proudly and winked at Mr. Li.
The secluded life in the laboratory in the past few years has tortured the handsome engineer into a middle-aged bald uncle.
k, which made General Alliance Officer Li feel cold all over. He shivered and said, "It's the same old saying, get results sooner rather than later."
