General Li was completely bewildered. He rubbed his temples and said, "Get to the point! What is all this about?!"
Mao Mengguan felt wronged: "I told you I wouldn't say it, but you insisted I do. And when I did, you thought I was talking nonsense. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have said anything!"
General Lee: "..."
In the end, all I could do was coax her gently, "It's okay, it's okay, please continue. It's my fault, I was too impatient."
"I won't say!" Mao Mengguan turned his head to the side.
The veins on General Li's forehead throbbed. He held back for a while, but couldn't help it any longer and roared, "Tell me, or I'll beat you up!"
The bigwigs in the conference room were surprised that General Manager Li would lose control of his emotions, which shows how much pressure the recent abnormal temperature had put on him.
Mao Mengguan shuddered, suppressing his fake tears. He sighed helplessly, "I was just guessing. I'll only say this once; believe it or not is up to you."
"Alright, go ahead and tell me."
"Yes. The last time the seawater disappeared, it was because the cracks in the seabed widened, and seawater poured in. That would definitely have some consequences, such as the sea level dropping. You can tell how much seawater flowed into the Earth's core just by looking at the degree of drop."
Scientists generally speculate that the Earth's core is filled with magma. While seawater extinguished some of the magma, it also caused a large amount of water vapor to accumulate in the Earth's core. When this vapor reached a certain level, it burst out through fissures, forming the last epic tsunami.
General Li nodded: "Continue!"
Mao Mengguan awkwardly looked away: "The water vapor will tear the seabed crack open again. Then, after the water vapor is expelled, the huge seabed crack will be filled with seawater once again."
"You mean, there will be another tsunami like this, or even more than once?"
Mao Mengguan shook his head: "I don't think so. The crack is too big. When seawater rushes in, it will cause the magma near the crack to petrify rapidly and then block the crack."
However, a large amount of seawater has already been poured in. As that seawater turns into water vapor, it also extinguishes the magma. This results in insufficient core temperature, which is why our planet has been unable to warm up for so long.
The current temperature of -15 or -16 degrees Celsius is also due to the planet's revolution around the sun, bringing it closer to the sun and allowing it to receive some energy from external sources.
Mao Mengguan left everyone stunned. Everyone found it unbelievable, yet they couldn't refute it.
Silence fell over the scene.
Ten minutes later, General Li asked, "According to you, the Earth's core still accumulates a large amount of water vapor, so why doesn't another tsunami erupt?"
Mao Mengguan stroked his chin, saying with a somewhat enigmatic air, "Energy will definitely find an easy outlet to erupt from. The fissures in Haiti have all been plugged; if they were to burst open again, wouldn't that be a waste of energy?"
"Then tell me, what's the most likely outcome?"
Mao Mengguan glanced at everyone leisurely: "Volcanic eruption. The Earth's core magma doesn't distinguish between the ocean and the land. There's only so much of it, and it's flowing. If it's going to erupt, it definitely has to find one that already has cracks."
The bigwigs flinched, a hint of fear in their eyes. Because of the Kunmeng Mountains, there was an extinct volcano there.
"Of course, this is just my guess, and it may not be correct."
General Li then asked the Standing Committee member in charge of monitoring the ocean, "What's the situation with the ocean right now?"
Chang Mengguan flipped through the documents in his hand: "The sea level is relatively stable, but it has dropped significantly compared to before the tsunami."
General Li nodded and looked at Dean Xu. Dean Xu shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.
Given the current situation, everyone is willing but powerless, and can only rely on Dean Tian.
"Old Tian, could you cultivate some cold-resistant seeds for us?"
Dean Tian shook his head frantically: "I can't do it!"
Then he looked at Li Sikai and said, "Doesn't he have a lot of mutated plant seeds? Those seeds are much more cold-resistant than the ones we cultivate ourselves."
General Li raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Li Sikai, and finally sighed: "Alright!"
"General, should we distribute the seeds?" Although the temperature is still low, distributing them now will ensure they are ready for planting when the time comes to promote their use.
General Li tapped his fingers rhythmically on the conference table for a long time before finally saying, "It's not the right time yet."
Seeing that some people disagreed, he explained, "Xiao Kai's space is only a hundred acres. It's so small that it can't even take care of the population of the capital, let alone the entire Qinghua Kingdom."
To maximize the effectiveness of his space, he must appear before the public as a savior at the right time.
Therefore, the seed matter will be postponed; let Xiao Kai collect some faith points first.
"But by then, who knows how many people will die?" People only have that kind of heartfelt faith when they are on the verge of despair.
Moreover, the local defense forces had stockpiled supplies and took precautions before the tsunami hit, so they suffered almost no losses.
Therefore, the people of Qinghua will not fall into despair in the short term. So, to gather their most sincere faith, it will have to wait at least several years. At least until their food supplies run out.
General Li shook his head: "We can't wait until then. If it's too late, Xiao Kai's space will be wasted for several years. Let's wait a few more months, until everyone is terrified of the abnormal climate, then we can let Xiao Kai appear as the hope of Qinghua Kingdom."
During this time, Xiao Kai and the guards put in extra effort to cultivate more seeds and seedlings of the mutated plants.
Li Sikai nodded, indicating that he understood. He calculated in his mind that the mutated plants matured about once every half month to a month in the space, so he could harvest at least two more crops before the news was announced.
In April, the temperature in Qinghua Kingdom began to rise rapidly. However, by mid-April, it had only reached around zero degrees Celsius.
This is vastly different from the past.
Before, well, before the apocalypse, April temperatures were around 10 or 20 degrees Celsius, which was quite comfortable. After the apocalypse, the climate changed, and April was already summer, so people could wear short sleeves.
But having to wear cotton-padded clothes in April like this is truly unprecedented.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan looked at the mostly melted ice and snow, their hearts sinking. They couldn't understand how the world had become like this.
The couple rubbed the pills together, waiting for the temperature to continue rising.
By the end of April, the temperature had risen to over 10 degrees Celsius. Seeing summer gradually returning, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yanming took some time to visit the agricultural area and inquire about the situation from Ye Wengui. They discovered that a third of the wheat seedlings had not grown, and both of them let out heavy sighs.
"Alright, let fate decide. Only you are so thoughtful, running around here every other day."
Shen Yanming forced a smile, lowered his head, and concealed the guilt in his eyes. He and his family were well-fed and clothed every day, but he was extremely anxious as he watched the environment deteriorate.
Composing himself, Shen Yanming looked up and said, "Then I'll head back. If we can get to work here, have someone call me."
