Beyond the Yangtze River.
An hour had passed since the living immortal entered the Dragon Palace, and the news spread throughout Shenzhou in just a few minutes and reached the ears of all high-ranking government officials.
Upon hearing the news, many senior officials collapsed in their chairs as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. They were like springs that had been stretched taut for a long time and were finally released at this moment.
The continuous rain during this period frightened all those in power, especially after learning about the history of the flood in Xiandao. The fear was beyond words. Although they could survive with modern capabilities, a few decades would be enough for them to build a city on the plateau that could accommodate everyone.
In terms of food, there are all kinds of genetically modified food. Even saline-alkali land can grow rice, and highlands can grow drought-resistant sorghum. If the quality of life is to be lowered a little, even eating protein powder made from cockroaches is fine.
As long as the standard is infinitely lowered, the survival ability of modern society is incomparable to that of ancient society. In various doomsday science fiction works, humans can still survive in the post-apocalyptic era, let alone civilizations that have time to prepare for the end of the world.
But life is good, who wants to live a hard life?
The large-scale plateau infrastructure plan that has not yet been implemented will cause the living standards of the entire China to regress by 20 years if it is implemented, and will regress to modern times in the middle and late stages.
Just like the flood in the immortal world, the human race will not be destroyed. Those immortal gates can take in millions of people, and when the disaster is over, they will multiply for hundreds of years and it will be a prosperous era again.
But the remaining hundreds of millions of mortals will have to die.
Zhoudi Temple Office Building.
All that could be heard was cheers coming from various departments because they had just received a notice that the state of emergency had been lifted.
Although they didn't know what solution they had found to solve the incessant rain, at least they were relieved from the endless busyness. During this period, everyone was taking pills and working intensively. On average, each person worked continuously for more than 60 hours, and some even worked for 100 hours.
Even if you are not a monk, you have to hold on. When the disaster strikes, all government departments are operating at a high intensity. This also indirectly increases the status of monks. The more urgent the situation, the more obvious the role of monks.
All social operations are ultimately driven by people, and monks with superhuman physiques will exert power several times that of ordinary people.
Whether it is military force or administrative work, the monks' performance is generally outstanding.
In a meeting room, the ministers were talking and laughing. If there was no wine here, they would probably have had a couple of drinks if it weren't for their work.
"I said the immortal would definitely take action. I saw how scared you were before. And what about the bioengineered protein powder? They allocated tens of billions all at once."
"I don't know who just had an iron brand on his foot and walked back and forth dozens of times."
"Hahahaha, Old Liu is so anxious that he wants to move the capital directly to the plateau."
"I'm tired of sitting. Can't I get up and exercise? You're talking as if you're not in a hurry. The Ministry of Works is planning to build a new highway to the plateau, the Ministry of Households is making a population migration plan, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice has proposed an emergency law. Only our Ministry of Rites has not made any move."
"What are you doing as a diplomat?"
The ministers were free to brag and chat, and Prime Minister Pan Jun also smiled for a rare time, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes to rest.
Yang Lichuan, the Minister of War, asked: "Prime Minister, do we need to continue with the matter of biological protein and plateau crops? If there were no floods, the former would be a thankless task."
The most ideal raw materials for biological protein are cockroaches and earthworms. Both of them contain extremely high levels of protein, but the only drawback is that they are disgusting. If you are really desperate, it would be the best choice, but now it seems unnecessary.
The government's money doesn't come from the wind, and it is obviously not worth it to use a lot of manpower and resources to research and produce products that are unlikely to be used.
According to the prediction of the professional team, the current genetically modified food is enough for China to move to high altitude areas, and various greenhouse technologies can ensure that rain will not affect crops. If something like cockroach powder is really used, I am afraid that it will only lead to a nuclear war and the complete fall of the entire civilization.
Prime Minister Pan Jun opened his eyes slightly, revealing a little foresight, and said: "It is better to rely on yourself than on heaven, and it is better to rely on the people than on immortals. You can rely on them, worship them, and even believe in them, but just don't forget that you have hands and feet."
"We don't know if he will take action every time. Maybe he won't be able to take action in the future for some reason. All preparations are necessary. Many times, the choices we make now are to pave the way for the future. If you commit a sin in this life, you will benefit future generations. Besides, if it's not a sin, why not do it?"
Even if it was 100% certain from the beginning that the immortal would take action, the government would still need to repeat all the measures taken during this period, including many seemingly unnecessary measures.
Even if the dragons don't bring rain, and even make peace with Shenzhou, when they know that there are dragons in the world who can bring rain at will, the government will prepare for the worst. There will be special personnel in the government to analyze them, treat them as imaginary enemies, and how to kill them?
If these extraordinary creatures are afraid of the virus, the government will definitely conduct research.
No, the research should have already started.
At present, local governments are secretly researching various viruses targeting animals, some extracting existing viruses for breeding, and some researching new viruses. Among them, poultry and pets have the most viruses, because they are the most likely to have monsters in the future.
Humans have prepared the greatest malice for cattle, sheep, cats, dogs, chickens, etc. If any virus spreads, it may have a devastating impact on a meat industry.
