Chapter 737 Public Opinion Crisis
They thought simply, thinking that such a large project would always leave clues, so if they went earlier, wouldn't they be able to occupy a spot early?
But when they reached the Kunming-Mengshan Mountains, they were stunned. There were no people in sight in the rolling mountains. The surrounding vegetation was lush and it looked like there were wild beasts. They did not dare to delay and quickly rolled back.
When the word "sanctuary" became salvation in people's hearts, General Li poured cold water on them.
"The shelter is only temporary, and its living and survival conditions are average, so we do not encourage everyone to seek refuge in the shelter in advance. The Alliance promises that once there is any movement, it will notify everyone and will never abandon any of its citizens."
This sentence temporarily calmed everyone's fanatical hearts. After all, human beings are creatures who like beauty and comfort. If they were suddenly asked to return to ancient times, or even primitive society, I believe most people would not be able to get used to it.
As a result, most people were no longer nervous, thinking that as long as the alliance was there, they would always be able to survive.
But far-sighted people are not optimistic. They are afraid that the sea water has the power to destroy the world, and once it unleashes its power, there will be no time to escape.
These people began to store supplies and practice diving. However, they had missed the best opportunity to attack, and the food could only go in but not out.
Those greedy people began to regret selling their own grain just for some money. Even if they wanted to regret it now, they had no chance, because they didn't even know who bought their grain.
There is no other way but to quietly protect the remaining food and pray every day that disaster will not befall here.
The actions of Qinghua Country also shocked people abroad. Unexpectedly, while those leaders were still trying their best to hide, the Qinghe Alliance had already quietly built a shelter.
The presidents of Lan, Austria and Europe were all secretly cursing General Li, the old fox, for quietly tricking them again.
But they didn't dare to make too much noise. After all, their own people still depended on their sun desensitizer. However, they still called to question them.
Chief Alliance Officer Li smiled and said that there was nothing he could do. The sea was clearly visible, and anyone could see it. This news could not be concealed for long.
"Then why don't you tell everyone before you announce it? You've got the upper hand again."
Chief Alliance Officer Li was helpless: "There is nothing I can do. The country is in chaos. I have to come out to calm the situation."
Others...MMP, there is something I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
"Old Li, are you sure you're not in Versailles? In your country, there's no coup, no civil unrest, and the food produced each year is self-sufficient, yet you keep fleecing others. Are you sure your country is in chaos?"
Li Cheng: "...it's a crisis of public opinion, so it can be considered chaos."
Come on, come on. We can’t win by talking or competing, but we can at least tell you about Qinghua Country’s guesses and plans, right?
Chief Alliance Officer Li was not stingy and asked the relevant researchers to send a copy of the information abroad.
"Our initial plan is to evacuate residents from coastal cities and have them take shelter in inland cities."
Li Zongguan thought: "Not only that, we are almost in the mountains. You know, the Kunming-Mengshan Mountains are the farthest place from the sea. And to the west of the Kunming-Mengshan Mountains is another country, and 90% of the territory of that country is desert."
But he didn't say it. So many heads of state thought that they just needed to move the seaside buildings inland.
Chief Alliance Officer Li was a little worried and gave a reminder: "Go as far inward as possible. Global ocean changes may cause a disaster." It's easy to imagine that the disaster will be severe.
Some people listened to it and arranged for their citizens to move to inland cities as much as possible.
But some people felt that it was not that scary and decided to stay put.
The reason is still economic. If people are suddenly evacuated and even the houses and land are abandoned, it will cause huge economic losses.
Moreover, there have been countless riots abroad. Their citizens are not as obedient and united as Qinghua. Even if the head of state announced the truth, many people would think it was photoshopped to deceive everyone. It is simply that the people are stupid and hopeless!
Chief Alliance Officer Li ignored their actions, feeling that he had done his best.
But the matter did not stop there, because many countries released pictures, videos and data of ocean abnormalities, making everyone more clearly aware of how serious the upcoming disaster will be.
They looked panicked and began to stock up on food. Some of them were so cautious that they even stored a lot of firewood and coal.
The alliance knew about it, but there was nothing they could do. This was a fear deep in people's hearts, and no matter how much they said, it wouldn't have much effect. So they could only let it go, as long as they didn't break the law, that was it.
Of course, there is good news.
After the summer harvest, news of giant food products was frequently reported in various parts of Qinghua Country. There were corn cobs more than two meters tall, with a dozen or so 40-50 centimeters long. There were also wheat ears more than one meter tall, with hundreds of wheat grains as big as a fingernail.
There are also some that crawled for hundreds of meters and produced thirty or forty potatoes and sweet potatoes as big as a baby's head...
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. They then filmed a video and posted it online, which became a hot topic in the shortest time possible.
The staff of the institute were shocked when they saw it.
They went to report to Dean Xu, who instinctively thought it was fake. But after checking it with his phone, he could not see any signs of fraud.
So they immediately arranged for someone to investigate the location of the mutant plants, and the news they reported back confirmed its authenticity.
"Really? That's great! Well, you must negotiate with them and get the samples back. Yes, you can give them compensation, but for the future of Qinghua, please don't keep them for yourself. Of course, they have to be willing to do so, and we can't take them by force. We have to convince them with virtue."
Dean Xu was so excited that he was incoherent, but he still tried his best to calm himself and arrange the people below to do their work.
After he hung up the phone, he took a deep breath and called Dean Tian of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.
"Old Tian, have you heard the news? A large number of mutant plants have appeared in our Qinghua country, and their yields are extremely high!"
Dean Tian's old face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum. "I was just about to call you to tell you the good news, but I didn't expect you to call me. I have arranged for someone to take samples. I hope this trait can be stably inherited, so that Qinghua country will no longer have to worry about food."
Dean Xu smiled and didn't care much about this. "Even if it can't be stably inherited, we should be able to get high-yield grain varieties through gene editing. If that doesn't work, can't we use tissue culture?"
Dean Tian was not so optimistic: "It's hard to say. Don't forget that those special plants cannot be grown by tissue culture alone. They have strict growth conditions. If one of them is not met, they will die."
"Well, those are fresh flowers, they are delicate. What we are talking about now is food."
