Chapter 279 Frost (13)
In the past, when this person had free time, he would like to stir up trouble.
But now they have already lived in the base, so they naturally would not do anything like causing trouble. Apart from watering in the morning, they would observe the situation outside in the afternoon.
After three days of observation, Lan Jin had to say that the extreme heat seemed to be coming very soon, because the ice, rain and snow that had been frozen around the base earlier all melted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the water also flowed up the mountain.
Standing in the newly designed hall of the base, a group of people looked at the temperature display on the LED bottle. At this moment, whether it was day or night -
Oh, there is no night anymore, the temperature remains below minus 30 degrees Celsius, and occasionally it can reach a new high for the arrival of extremely cold days, and minus 10 degrees Celsius is not uncommon.
Speaking of which, the weather fluctuated greatly, but they were staying inside the base, and the heating in the base was adjusted according to the temperature, so if they didn't look at the thermometer, they really didn't feel how big the temperature change was.
After this incident, they couldn't help but sigh, "Fortunately, we stayed at the base. If we were outside, no matter how many lives we had, we wouldn't be able to make it."
"Yes, but before we only knew that extreme heat was coming, how come there is also polar day? Putting these two things together, can we still live a good life in the future?" Lao Gao couldn't help but worry.
But what's the difference between two natural disasters? It's just midnight, it won't have any impact on human life.
Huang Jinghe said, "Polar day is actually daytime, 24 hours a day with no night. Even before the end of the world, our South Pole and the North Pole would have polar day, and it seemed that each time it lasted for half a year. This is caused by our Earth's rotation around its tilted axis. The formation of polar day should be due to the change in the Earth's axis orbit. Generally speaking, there will be no problem."
Lan Jin retorted, "That is to say, polar day and polar night are relative. We will experience as much polar night as we experience polar day. But it's not a problem now. After all, it's extremely cold now, so daytime is daytime.
But what if extreme heat comes? We've looked up extreme heat temperatures online before, and temperatures as high as 70 or 80 degrees Celsius are not uncommon. That's fine during the day, but once polar day arrives, it's this temperature day and night. Who can stand it? No matter how high the flood is, it won't take long for it to dry up. The key is, if the extreme heat lasts too long—"
It is certainly impossible to dry out the entire blue planet, but their lives will only become more difficult after the water shortage. In addition, not all the water is drinkable. In short, water resources will only become more scarce in the future.
Thinking about it this way, you can imagine how difficult it will be to survive in the future.
Of course, although they don't need to worry about this, who knows what will happen next.
In short, the arrival of the polar day dealt another heavy blow to them, who had already been hit hard.
On Brother Zhang's side, there were meetings day and night without interruption, and the theme of the meetings was naturally about the extreme heat of the polar day.
But there is one thing that is very strange. For this extreme situation, the people above do not seem to take it that seriously. No matter how Brother Zhang said that the situation would be very serious, the leaders above would only say to him, "Don't worry too much. The difficulties are only temporary and will eventually pass. Look, we have survived the extreme cold, right? I believe we can also survive the extreme heat and the polar day."
Besides, our base had already received news of the extreme heat, so wouldn't it be enough to just refine the work we've already done? Instead of holding this meaningless meeting, why not make more preparations? The snow outside is already showing signs of melting. Captain Zhang, shouldn't you arrange for someone to clear the snow from the gate of the base? Just in case the psychics outside escape and decide the base is safe, they want to come in."
In short, no matter what Brother Zhang said, he would be stopped by the leader. In the end, the three-day meeting did not produce any results and ended in nothing.
Although Brother Zhang was angry, he had no way to solve the problem, so he could only take people to sweep the snow at the entrance of the base.
…
A week passed in a flash, and the snow at the base, which was several stories high, was cleared due to the low temperature, and the land was exposed to nature again.
Lan Jin was deeply moved by this scene. "No matter what, stepping on the ground is the most solid."
Lao Gao joked, "Since it's so solid, just step on it more. Soon the flood will melt away, and you won't be able to step on it even if you want to."
These days, the sunlight shines through the transparent protective cover, bringing warmth to people. Occasionally, Lan Jin can fall asleep directly while sitting on the lounge chair on the balcony.
But as the sun appeared more frequently, the temperature also continued to rise. If the temperature was minus 30 degrees Celsius a week ago, it has now dropped to around minus 10 degrees Celsius. After another two days, the temperature was once above zero. This is really a happy thing.
Just when everyone thought that the temperature would gradually rise again, a frost quietly struck during the polar night.
Frost is when the water vapor in the air near the ground reaches saturation and the ground temperature drops below 0 degrees, ice crystals condense on objects.
In this case, it has been "with them" since the extreme cold arrived, but compared with the extreme cold, it is not conspicuous. In addition, it only harms some crops. For them, who have no crops outside, they don't really care too much.
But this frost, which should not be taken seriously, actually covered the entire transparent protective shield of the base overnight. It not only blocked the sunlight above their heads, making it impossible for them to see any images outside, but also covered the newly sprouted vegetables with a thick layer of frost even though the air conditioner was on and the indoor temperature did not change at all.
When I checked the temperature today, it had dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius.
But she had mentioned before that the temperature of the base was automatically adjusted by a temperature sensor. The temperature in the planting area was obviously very high at this moment, but why was there frost on the tender shoots? Even though it was indoors, surrounded by such a high temperature, there was no sign of it melting.
Brother Zhang had a headache. "This shouldn't be the case. He's fine, how come the vegetables are frozen like this?"
Not to mention Brother Zhang, even the people who rented the land to grow vegetables felt distressed at this moment, "Brother Zhang, this is not our own doing, we can't let us bear the losses alone."
