The next day, the temperature dropped again, reaching 70 degrees. This time, everyone cheered, "The extreme heat is really over! The temperature keeps dropping! We've made it!"
Yes, we made it! The extreme heatwave is truly over. Just as the research team said, it would only last for six months.
On the third day the temperature reached 62 degrees, on the fourth day it was 54 degrees, on the fifth day it was 42 degrees, on the sixth day it was 36 degrees, and on the seventh day it was 32 degrees. When it reached 32 degrees, their Lancheng base in GS Province was hit by a heavy rain. This heavy rain lasted for seven consecutive days, soaking the soil, and their dry reservoirs, ponds, and wells were filled with water.
After the heavy rain stopped, Lu Xingtang asked everyone to move out of the underground city and return to the ground to rest. At the same time, he told everyone: "As long as there are no devastating natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, as long as we can withstand the ruthless beatings of natural disasters, we will stay on the ground! If you really can't survive on the ground, we will let you all enter the underground city again! Please don't worry, I, Lu Xingtang, will not give up on any survivor!"
The survivors were so moved that they cried, and they assured Lu Xingtang that they would live well and would not worry them.
After the survivors moved to the surface with their supplies, the temperature remained around 35 degrees Celsius, not rising to 40 degrees Celsius. After the survivors reached the surface, they cleaned up the base and began to resume production, starting with the farms and plantations, followed by the factories, hospitals, schools, shopping streets, points exchange areas, and supply exchange areas.
After the base resumed production, the survivors were obedient and the base recovered very quickly, soon returning to the state before the extreme heat.
After everyone was less busy, Lu Xingtang called their classmates together and sent them into the space. They worked together. A new batch of grains, fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs in the black soil had matured. She and Ji Yanmo were too busy to handle it and needed help. Moreover, the eggs in the chicken farm in the space had not been picked up, resulting in many eggs being pecked by chickens, ducks and geese, and rotted all over the ground. The first thing to do after bringing them into the space was to ask them to help pick up eggs. After picking up the eggs, they went to work in the black soil.
Their children were playing in the black soil. The children were still young, and Lu Xingtang was always paying attention to them. If they cried, he would ask their parents to coax them.
With the joint efforts of 34 people, they spent 5 days in the space to harvest the grains, vegetables, fruits and medicinal herbs in the black soil, turn the land over and replant.
Then they went to the farm, helped clean up the pig farm, slaughtered a pig, had a delicious meal in the space, and took a lot of beef jerky and pork jerky home, which they could eat as much as they wanted.
After the weather stabilized, the demand for ice, cold drinks, and anti-heatstroke medicines was not as great, and the number of people going to work gradually decreased, but they were all arranged to work in major plantations and factories to earn points.
After the base was stabilized, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo felt relatively more relaxed. They put all their energy into the space. The space could be used for planting not only black soil. After the Blue Star Heart Tree turned into two leaves and fell on their hearts, the space expanded and had the area of a province, with cities, mountains, canyons, rivers, land, etc. They decided to develop the land of this province and use it for planting, all for growing food and medicinal materials.
There is no need to grow fruits and vegetables. The fruits and vegetables in the black soil are enough for the time being.
This project was extremely huge and was beyond the capacity of Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo to complete alone, so Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo once again called their helpers to help them with turning the soil, sowing seeds, fertilizing and watering.
Su Cheng and others all supported Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo: "You have a sense of crisis to be prepared for any eventuality. That's great, we all support you! In case we are unlucky and the base faces a more serious crisis, we can still survive!" The base is stable now. During this extremely hot period, they have also discovered many talented people and plan to promote them. Now is also an opportunity. If they do a good job, they will have an easier time.
So they decided to work during the day and go to the base to work at night, working two hours every night to prevent them from working overtime for too long. Moreover, all the work was mechanized, so it was not particularly hard.
Everyone had experience in farming, so they got the hang of it very quickly and weren't at all unfamiliar with it.
It took them nearly a month to turn over the land planned by Lu Xingtang and his team and sow seeds.
The crops grown were potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, red beans, yellow beans, mung beans, millet and sorghum. The number of medicinal herbs was much less than that of grains and vegetables. There were not many seeds of medicinal herbs, but everything that could be planted was planted, and those that could be transplanted were transplanted from the black soil to within the province.
However, Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo contributed the most. Their consciousness worked tirelessly in the province. Otherwise, it might take them another month to finish planting.
After planting grain and medicinal herbs, they moved to the black soil, where another batch of grain, fruits, vegetables and medicinal herbs could be harvested. After harvesting, they finished their overtime work and returned home to rest.
The crisis brought by the extreme heat was gradually resolved, the Lancheng base restored its previous ecology, and winter began. When winter came, Lu Xingtang asked the scientific research team if they had detected any natural disasters?
The research team told Lu Xingtang, "Base Commander, we haven't found anything yet, but we've discovered that neighboring Meng Province will experience acid rain and extreme cold. The extreme cold won't last long, just a month, but it will be very cold, with temperatures potentially dropping to around -70 degrees Celsius. The survivors in Meng Province may not survive!"
Their GS Province is very close to Meng Province, and Jingtai is next to ALS in Meng Province. If extreme cold or acid rain occurs in Meng Province, their GS Province will definitely be affected. Even if the impact is not big, it will be affected to a certain extent.
Lu Xingtang asked solemnly, "When will the acid rain and extreme cold arrive?"
"As expected, acid rain has already occurred. It will probably last for three days, and after that, extreme cold will set in!"
Lu Xingtang closed his eyes: "Then I hope the survivors in Meng Province will be lucky enough to survive!" As long as you grit your teeth, you can survive!
After returning to the office building, he told Ji Yanmo the news he had received from the research team: "Although the acid rain and extreme cold in Meng Province may not necessarily affect our Lancheng base, we must also take precautions!"
Ji Yanmo nodded: "That's what we should do!" So they notified the management and asked them to make preparations in advance. In case of acid rain and extreme cold, they would be able to protect the base and the survivors.
Just as they were ready to guard, they heard the roar of an airplane. They took out their binoculars and looked out the window. It was a military plane flying towards their base. Lu Xingtang and the others immediately walked out of the office building to check the situation.
