Chapter 87: Warmth

The cold temperature makes people restless, and many people are now unbearable. The average temperature on the entire grassland is around minus 5 degrees. This problem is not a problem for some towns close to the base of the gods.

But for many people in marginal areas, it is fatal. The temperature in marginal areas has dropped to minus 30 degrees, and some equipment has been destroyed by the cold.

This cold temperature continues for two months, and many disputes have broken out on the grassland. Most of these disputes revolve around supplies. Food, clothing, and electricity are currently the scarcest things on the grassland.

Some outdoor farmland can no longer operate normally. Too many equipment have been destroyed by the low temperature, and many industries have been forced to stop. Several major families have tried many methods, but these methods are in vain in the face of such temperatures.

Many people have begun to migrate towards the mountains on a large scale. Many towns are deserted, and some towns in the mountains have begun to fortify themselves and no more people are allowed to enter.

Either freeze to death or be beaten to death. Now many people are faced with this choice. People from some big families have gathered together and have many times hoped that the gods will come forward and give them a solution. But no matter how they send the message, the gods There was no response.

Now all the big families are getting anxious, because problems everywhere will break out sooner or later. Once they fall into a food crisis, the little bit of order they have will completely collapse, and it will be a life-or-death situation.

Rudy sat quietly in the house. Now the town has basically stopped functioning. Rudy used the army to maintain the normal operation of some infrastructure and farmland planting. The current situation is already quite bad. Everyone can only do this every day. Have a meal.

In fact, there are some food reserves, but Rudy knows that if he does not strictly control this situation, he will not be able to get through it. These food reserves can be enough for the people of the small town to eat for two or three years.

But it was limited to one meal per person per day. Although many people were very dissatisfied, after seeing the tragic situation in other towns, many people chose to be patient because they did not want to get caught up in the fighting.

What Rudy hopes most now is that the gods can respond, otherwise life will really be impossible now. Most people are now praying that the gods can come out again to help them solve the current crisis.

But Rudy was unsure. The entire town was still operating at a minimum, but it was about to collapse. Engineers were working day and night to find ways to protect the equipment from operating normally, because they had not experienced anything like this in decades. situation.

Therefore, the research on protection and warmth has not made much progress, and the gods have not come up with some corresponding technologies. It has been half a month since we contacted the gods, but they still have not responded.

Some family members even speculated whether there was a big problem in the gods' base, but Rudy didn't think so, because the gods probably knew the current situation better than anyone else, and knew what the future would be like.

Therefore, it is even more impossible for the gods to respond at all. I am afraid that there is no good way to solve anything for the time being.

At this time, the communicator rang. Now many mobile phone signal stations have been paralyzed, and there is no way to repair them. They can only rely on short- and medium-range radios to communicate.

"How is the situation over there?"

It was Su Hao's contact, Rudy said after thinking for a moment.

"Not good."

Su Hao said with a hum.

"Can you lend us some mutants?"

Rudy had a solemn expression on his face. Although he wanted to reject Su Hao, Su Hao had provided them with a lot of warm clothes a while ago, which indeed alleviated their cold problem.

"Okay, I'll send 300 people over."

Su Hao said with an overjoyed smile.

"Thank you Rudy, I really appreciate it."

Rudy soon issued an order, but such an order was opposed by many people in the family.

In the conference hall, all the important figures in the family came over. There were nearly a hundred people, and nearly two-thirds of them were opposed.

"Everyone should still remember the warm clothes and some blankets that Su Hao gave us a while ago. If we choose to sit idly by at this time, I'm afraid everything between us and the Su family will end here."

Many people looked solemn, but in the end everyone nodded, and everything was quickly arranged. Rudy felt a little more at ease and began to discuss some issues with his family.

Everyone is discussing that if that doesn't work, they can gather people together and build simple wind deflectors, which can reduce the use of electricity.

At this moment, a family member ran over in a panic.

"The gods sent a message."

Everyone was shocked for a moment. Everyone went to the information center. Soon Rudy adjusted the radio frequency to a band in accordance with the requirements of the gods. Everyone was waiting quietly.

"Please don't panic, just hold on for another week at most. Please continue to be patient, stay at home, and don't run around and cause riots. It only takes a week. By this time a week later, the temperature will recover. I promise everyone.”

Gene's voice came out intermittently, and then the signal was interrupted after Gene reassured him.

Rudy was slightly relieved. If they only needed to hold on for a week, they could release some reserve food and supplies now, so that everyone could spend the week safely.

Rudy soon gave orders, and the people of the Angus family started to move. The gods' guarantee was more effective than anything else.

At this time, in some towns where fighting was taking place, the fighting began to gradually subside, because now the gods were the last hope of mankind.

Many people chose to temporarily cease fire and returned home according to the gods' requirements. Many people didn't know what the gods would do to restore the temperature.

Many people began to discuss it. Some of them said that maybe the gods would make the sun reappear, but such a joke was ridiculed by many people.

People from all major families began to prepare. Because of the gods' promises, some families also began to release reserve food, because now only food can stabilize people's hearts.

As long as the food is in place, many disputes will subside, and some towns will even become lively.

Although a week is difficult for many people, there is hope.

Time passed day by day. No riots occurred during this week. Everyone was suffering and waiting for what the gods said, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

In the blink of an eye, a week was about to end. At 9 o'clock in the morning, many people walked out of their houses.

The air could still freeze people. Many people gathered together and shivered. Most people's food was running out at home. Many people wrapped themselves in thick clothes, but still couldn't resist the cold.

Some people began to worry. The cold would make people's thinking stagnate. Many people could no longer bear it.

The streets and alleys were crowded with people. Most of the family members also came out and began to arrange everything, because the worst moment was very likely to come. If the temperature was still so low at night, the whole grassland would definitely break out in war.

10 o'clock in the morning

Next to the solar launch tower in the base, Gene completed the final debugging. Everyone quietly looked at the values ​​on some panels. The artificial sun was still far from completion, but there were already clues.

Now the only thing Gene and his team can do is to rely on the powerful photonuclear energy to dispel the cold and restore the temperature. According to their tests, although this approach will consume some light and shadow materials, it can raise the temperature of the entire grassland, even higher than before.

Just release intense heat energy in four directions at the same time and at some designated locations to heat up the air, which can be maintained for a period of time. There is no other way but to do it now.

Moreover, such photonuclear energy is pollution-free. This is the solution that Gene and his team came up with after nearly a month of discussion.

Because if this continues, the temperature in human society will drop to minus 50 degrees, which is devastating to humans.

"Are you ready?"

Deguna asked. She was standing in front of the launch pad. Li Chu was still making the final numerical correction calculations, because this launch would destroy a lot of land in the four directions, and everything in the area would be dissolved.

But there was no need to care about so much. As long as the heat energy was continuously released in the four directions, it could be stopped when the temperature on the grassland rose to a certain level.

According to the experiment, after releasing intense heat energy, the temperature of the grassland can be maintained at 5 to 10 degrees, which is very good for humans.

And after this release, Gene and his team will take out more high-yield seeds, let humans store food as soon as possible, and teach humans the technology of cold prevention, so that when the next cold wave comes, humans will not fall into such a desperate situation.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Chu completed the final numerical correction. Because the coverage area is 100 square kilometers of land, there must be at least 30 to 50 kilometers of buffer zone from the grassland, otherwise these energies will harm humans.

It was already 1:28 in the afternoon, and the final adjustment was over. The zenith slowly opened, and the launch tower began to rise and surpassed the top of the mountain.

Ellie looked at everything quietly. She prayed that this launch would be successful and smooth, otherwise a fierce war would definitely break out in this grassland.

"It can start."

Gene said, everyone put on goggles, and then Deguna pressed the start button.

Accompanied by a violent roar, the air began to become hot.

Gradually, the exterior of the transmission tower turned red, and accompanied by a violent roar, four beams of light shot into the distant sky in an instant.

2:00 p.m.

"What is that?"

Someone shouted, and everyone looked up. Four violent white lights streaked across the sky, and many people closed their eyes.

In an instant, the entire grassland was as bright as day, and many people exclaimed. The light had reached a distant place in an instant, and everyone saw four continuous lights in the sky, like a bridge, extending to the dark place in the distance.

"Am I dreaming?"

Someone muttered, and everyone saw a blood-red light in the distance. Someone took out a telescope and saw a fireball burning in the sky, and the fireball was connected to the light.

In an instant, everyone saw four huge fireballs in the sky in four directions, and everything looked so incredible.

Many people had no idea what was happening. The fireball stopped after changing to a certain size and continued to burn.

Half an hour later, when everyone had no idea what was going on, some people felt a little warmth, and some people cheered and took off their thick clothes.

Gradually, more and more people took off their clothes and started dancing. This was the first time that people who had endured the cold for more than three months felt such warmth.

The air began to become hot and dry, and many people began to sweat. Everyone took off their thick clothes and began to enjoy the endless warmth. This feeling made everyone excited.

And some frozen ice was also melting. More and more cheers sounded. Some people shouted directly to the gods, and many people couldn't help crying.

These three months have been a torment far more uncomfortable than death, and the four fireballs did not disappear, but kept burning. Many people even felt the long-lost heat, especially those on the edge of the town. They have returned to the house and started preparing to celebrate.

No one could imagine that the gods did it in this way. The four fireballs were like the sun. No one knew how the gods did it, but many people were full of hope for the future.

Some people who had seen the sun were telling young people what the sun looked like. Many people had only seen the sun in movies, TV series and books. This was the first time many people saw the sun.

Everything in front of them was extremely shocking. At this time, the patriarchs of the major families received the message from the gods, asking them to gather in the territory of the Angus family immediately and let some technicians from all aspects go there. The gods would stay in the town of the Angus family for a short period of one month to teach people a new round of technology.

Many people from many families have already started to take action. In the past, they did not dare to stay directly in other towns, but as long as the gods came out, there would be no more disputes.

At 5 pm, the light began to weaken and the fireballs began to shrink. Until 6 pm, everything stopped abruptly, but lights were turned on in many towns because many equipment had returned to normal.

Those equipment that had gone on strike due to low temperatures were operating normally, and some towns even started sowing.

Rudy breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and he immediately asked people to make arrangements because the gods would be here soon.
