Chapter 572: The Falling Sea Level (3)
Shen Yanming laughed, "What's the difference between this plan you mentioned and leasing land?"
Bi Qiaoan curled her lips and said, "It's the same, as long as I can get benefits."
Shen Yanming rubbed her head and said, "Okay, we don't need to worry about these things. The big guys in the alliance will consider them. They have been immersed in international relations for many years, so they must think more and more comprehensively than us!"
Bi Qiaoan nodded and decided not to think about these brain-consuming things anymore.
----------
Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance.
Licheng General Alliance Officer has received many calls for help recently, all wanting to borrow food.
You said that if it were a peaceful and prosperous time, you would just lend it and it would be okay even if you didn't have to pay it back.
But now it’s the end of the world, and the Qinghua Kingdom is struggling to take care of itself, so how can it dare to lend out food?
But he argued that he had lent it to Yu Jingguo last year.
What could Chief Alliance Officer Li say? He said that someone tipped him off that the locusts were coming, thus saving most of Qinghua Country's grain, and he only took a portion of it to repay the favor?
If you say something like this, where will it affect the other person?
It is a natural disaster and cannot be controlled by human power.
But people with impure minds will bear grudges, asking why you reminded Qinghua Country but not their country.
But in fact, if there hadn’t been a disaster, who the hell would know where the locusts would fly?
In addition to this, there is the concept of "a community with a shared future for mankind".
Chief Alliance Officer Li had to admit that the other party was right. After all, if everyone died, it would be meaningless for only the citizens of Qinghua to live a hundred years.
But we can't let him ignore the citizens of Qinghua and go to help other countries.
What’s the difference between this and betraying one’s own people?
So, it’s really difficult.
They held countless meetings to discuss how to decline politely without hurting any feelings.
But this topic is so heavy that it is difficult to draw a conclusion.
Seeing that they were all listless, Chief Alliance Officer Li decided to change the topic to a more "light" one.
"Has the research on impetigo yielded any results?"
"No. The research institute has only found an inhibitor, which can effectively control the deterioration of the abscess, but it cannot completely cure it. Moreover, the inhibitor is still in the clinical trial stage. It can only be officially put on the market after it is confirmed to be harmless to the human body."
"How long will it take?"
"At least half a month!"
Chief Alliance Officer Li sighed.
He had no pustules on his face because he got up before dawn to work every day and went home to sleep after dark, which was how he managed to avoid them.
More than half of the people present were in the same situation as him.
But the subordinates not only have to work long hours, but also have to run outside every day. Nine and a half out of ten of them suffer from impetigo.
In order to prevent the dozen or so big guys from getting in trouble, they all wrapped themselves up tightly in the hot summer, fearing that the abscess would burst and infect them.
It's really not easy, and he felt sad when he saw it.
Seeing the painful look on Chief Alliance Officer Li's face, the bosses below didn't know whether they should continue to report their work.
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Chief Alliance Officer Li waved his hand and said, "Go on. Human power cannot defeat heaven. We should have known this long ago."
One of the big guys, named Mao, pursed his lips and after some hesitation, he made up his mind to report the anomalies discovered by his subordinates.
He didn't say it directly, but sent the data for half a month to everyone.
"This is what my people discovered. The sea level is dropping. Although the height is not obvious, it is dropping every day without exception."
Chief Alliance Officer Li rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Is it year-on-year or month-on-month?"
“Both, that’s why I feel weird.”
“Is it possible that the weather is too hot, causing increased evaporation?”
Mao Mengguan nodded. "It's possible, but not certain. I hesitated just now because I was worried that I was overthinking."
Chief Alliance Officer Li smiled and encouraged the other party: "It doesn't matter even if it is later confirmed to be a mistake. As long as there is an abnormality, it needs to be reported. This way everyone can make better preparations.
Aren't there many words to describe our current state, such as "be prepared for war at all times", "be vigilant at all times", "be prepared for any eventuality", and "always be prepared". It can be seen that the wisdom of our ancestors should not be underestimated. "
"Well, you are right!" said Mao Mengguan.
"So, apart from the weather, do you have any other ideas?"
More than a dozen big men were whispering and discussing with each other.
It was not until the meeting room was quiet again that Alliance Officer Qi asked, "Apart from seawater, are there any changes in other water resources?"
Mao Mengguan flipped through the documents in his hand and said with certainty: "No. The melting speed of glaciers is synchronized with that in the past. The water levels of rivers and lakes are also almost the same as usual. The groundwater resources have hardly changed except for the sharp decline during the global drought."
The bosses breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that fresh water resources were not affected.
One of them said indifferently: "Maybe it's just temporary, it will return to normal in a couple of days. Anyway, there is enough fresh water now, so it's good that it doesn't affect people's production and life."
"Yes, the last earthquake destroyed several desalination plants on the coast, and the remaining ones are vacant because there is no shortage of fresh water. If there is no major problem at the moment, we can put it aside for now. There is no need to get to the bottom of it now."
Chief League Officer Li also knew that the discussion would not produce any results, so he could only instruct League Officer Mao: "Record at any time, and let's observe for a while."
Mao Mengguan nodded: "Okay, I will arrange it. By the way, record the water resources on land and under the land so that we can compare them."
Chief Alliance Officer Li smiled with satisfaction and expressed his appreciation.
Although this group of people all have their own little thoughts, they are all considering the interests of the country.
There are rarely any conflicts in daily life, and every day I worry about the future of Qinghua Country.
Likewise, the rewards received are huge.
The citizens of Qinghua are grateful for the efforts of the upper-level leaders, and they always actively cooperate when the alliance issues instructions. Everyone works together, which is why there is a scene of chaos abroad and great harmony at home.
Therefore, no matter how hard or tiring the work is, they are willing to do it.
Chief Alliance Officer Li was just cheering himself up in his heart when he heard a big man say weakly: "I have an unreliable guess..."
"Hmm? Tell me about it!" Chief Alliance Officer Li came back to his senses and encouraged.
"That is, is it possible that the last earthquake created a crack in the seafloor, causing the seawater to flow toward the center of the earth, so the sea level continues to drop. As for why the data is not obvious..."
The alliance officer hesitated for a moment and continued, "It's because there is too much water and the ocean is too big."
Chief Alliance Officer Li was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
The other big guys also fell silent.
After a long while, someone finally spoke up: "You are too bold to think like that. Hasn't it been studied that the center of the earth is a huge furnace filled with magma?
If that's the case, how could the inside be empty?
You said you were filling it with sea water, but I think you were filling it with your daydreams, right? "
The big shot thought he was joking to ease the atmosphere, but he ended up making it even more awkward.
