At noon that day, the radio broadcast an emergency report that the temperature outside had risen to 45 degrees.
During the few minutes that the broadcast was taking place, the temperature soared to fifty degrees.
Within an hour, there was no one outside.
Those who had the conditions took refuge inside the buildings.
Because of the special building materials, hiding inside the building, although still a bit stuffy, is more comfortable than being directly exposed to the sun outside.
"Will the solar panels break down? The temperature is so high." Tang Dan was a little worried and looked at the panels on the balcony from time to time.
"It doesn't matter. I have already modified the materials." An Jingzhi said confidently.
The air conditioner in the room emitted wisps of cool air, and the indoor temperature was comfortable for the time being.
"Bang!"
The sudden explosion scared Xin Fenlan.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Several people looked down and it took them a while to understand what was going on.
It turned out that the tire of a tricycle in the parking lot was blown out by the sun.
After checking his tricycle, the man moved it further inside and cursed as he went upstairs.
"Who knew the sunlight reflected from the window could actually fry the wheels? His grandmother is so unlucky that even drinking cold water gets stuck in her teeth."
"It's such a horrible weather outside, I don't know what's going to happen next."
"Everyone, please don't come out unless you have anything to do. The temperature outside is almost 60!"
Everyone looked at him as he had just gone downstairs. When he came back, his entire back was wet and sweat was flowing down his forehead as he spoke.
"Oh my god, is the natural disaster this time the high temperature?"
"I guess it's pretty close."
"How can we go to work when it's so hot outside?"
"That's right. If you go out to set up a stall in such hot weather, won't you get sunburned?"
"Hey, I remember your family said they often went to the sauna before the disaster. Isn't this about the same temperature as a sauna?"
“That’s a huge difference!”
Although everyone had complaints and uneasiness in their hearts, they still believed that the Peacock Mountain Base could be arranged.
They have survived several previous disasters, including earthquakes, and their trust in the leadership team of the Peacock Mountain Base has reached its highest level.
As everyone expected, the leaders of Peacock Mountain adjusted their working hours immediately.
From now on, I will change to sleeping during the day and working at night. Although the night temperature is still around 40 degrees, it is more acceptable than the 50 or 60 degrees during the day.
There was no light at night, so a lot of street lights were temporarily built. When all the street lights were turned on at night, the rows of street lights were as bright as day.
In the first half month, no one could accept it. We couldn’t sleep during the day and had no energy at night.
Not every household can afford to buy air conditioners or pay for electricity.
Even if the supply is affordable, the electricity cannot be used freely and must be supplied to many places.
Only An Jingzhi's home has modified solar charging panels, so the air conditioner can be turned on in real time.
When the temperature outside rises to 70 degrees, the indoor air conditioning actually has little effect. Even if the air conditioner is turned on, the temperature is still over 40 degrees.
Even if you sit still, you will sweat profusely.
Fortunately, everyone's physical fitness has improved. After adapting for a month, everyone gradually got used to sleeping sweating during the day and working sweating at night.
Everyone smelled of sweat.
Autumn, the ninth year of the natural disaster.
Feeling the cool breeze in the air, Tang Dan smiled and said, "It seems our family has survived another natural disaster."
"The mother of Lao Qian downstairs is not so lucky." Old Man An said with a sigh.
After a natural disaster, the number of elderly people and children is the smallest, and those who survive are all strong and healthy young people.
There are very few families like theirs where all the members are still alive.
After this high temperature disaster, people in the inner city and midtown areas were fine, but the highest number of deaths were among people in the outer city areas.
Xin Ruoyao came back early, and An Jingzhi came late after dinner.
"Isn't it just a shift? Why are you back so late?"
An Jingzhi shook his head, washed his hands, sat down, and explained, "District One is uneasy, and they wanted us to transfer some people to District One to help, but no one wanted to go, so that delayed a lot of work."
"What does District No. 1 have to do with District No. 2?" Tang Dan asked as he brought the food to An Jingzhi.
Xin Fenlan was also a little puzzled. "Isn't District 1 inhabited by the rich and powerful? How can it be so restless?"
"It's those kinds of people who are unsafe when they gather together," An Jingzhi said after swallowing a mouthful of rice. "I guess they got some news in advance and started building the ship. They had several fights over the materials."
"What do you mean? How can we build a ship in this situation?" Old man An frowned.
"I don't know either, but I've roughly guessed that the next natural disaster is coming soon, and we might need to be on a ship to survive."
"Could it be a tsunami that is about to flood the land?" Xin Ruoyao asked.
She also lived for twelve years in her previous life, but the twelfth year was not the end of the disaster, so she didn't know what disaster would come next.
An Jingzhi probably guessed that the natural disasters, acid rain, high temperatures, extreme cold, tornadoes, sandstorms, and even earthquakes were over, so what else was there?
They could only live on the boat and were detected in advance by the people in Area 1.
Then the last possibility is a tsunami.
After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth. This was truly a global biological cleansing.
Everyone was talking at once, feeling a little anxious. "What about our family? Should we also cut some wood to make a boat?" Tang Dan said.
"We still have our welding tools and plenty of steel plates," An Jingzhi nodded and said, "We'll have to work a little harder these days. We'll bring back more wood and move everything from the living room to the bedroom. We'll do it at home to avoid unnecessary trouble."
If the higher-ups knew about this disaster, why didn't they inform them? Obviously, either the higher-ups were already preparing for it, or they had been abandoned.
Inside the Peacock Mountain Military Base.
"I don't agree!" The base's military chief slammed the table, his hair standing on end in anger.
"It's no use disagreeing. Where are we going to find a ship that big anytime soon? The entire base has at least half a million people!"
"Are we willing to abandon those people? This is the only solution!"
"In recent years," the military chief said, his hawk-like gaze fixed on a middle-aged man with a square face, "I don't care if you've been vying for power and profit, because while you were fighting, you were also working for the welfare of the people."
"But now, before the disaster even strikes, you're the first to suggest abandoning the people. You're not fit to be an official."
The square-faced middle-aged man said, "Do you think I'm willing? But it's too late. If I take everyone with me, I'll be sending everyone to their deaths."
"On the contrary, if we can give up some people, others can survive. Since you are unwilling to do so, do you have any better ideas?"
