The wind howled through the mountains and forests, the air was cold, and the trees were covered with dry leaves. Guyi was holding an instrument to test the quality of the light. His expression was a little serious. Jean was lying on a big stone nearby.
He was sitting there, holding a cigarette comfortably.
Gene looked at the dim sun in the sky and yawned a little boredly. They had been out for more than ten hours, and this was the nineteenth test point that Gu Yi had arrived at.
Guyi is counting the sun's energy in detail. It has been a whole year since Jean last left for the grassland.
Jean never went to the grassland again during his time. The eight people researched day and night in the base. Many technologies have become a reality and are still in the application testing stage. They found several mineral veins in the mountains and forests, some of which have already been
Mining has begun.
Everyone takes turns going to the mine every day to mine and refine the ore, and then bring the metal back to the base. Now there is a very rich stock of metal in the base. Jean and the others are planning to open a cave to store more metal.
Metal.
Because these metals will definitely be used in the future, and there are also many rare metals, the eight people are full of confidence in future technologies. Now they just need to continue to apply many technologies into reality.
This is a huge and complex project that cannot be completed in a short time and requires countless efforts. Repeated experiments alone leave eight people with almost no spare time.
"How's the situation?"
Jean asked, Gu Yi looked serious and shook his head.
"According to the current situation, in a while, it will be difficult for the sun to provide energy for plants on the earth. The sun will disappear soon."
Jean's face was solemn. Now they were faced with a choice. If they ignored humans, it would only take ten years at most before humans on this land would become extinct.
"I'll make a trip when I have time. Our aerodynamic machine is still being studied and we can't leave."
Jean said and Gu Yi nodded. He sighed slightly helplessly, his brows full of sorrow.
"We are faced with a dilemma. The best way now is to teach humans to build shelters close to the mountains and forests, otherwise the cold air in this land will kill them in the future."
The temperature of the sun's direct rays has been decreasing for several months, and the worst situation has arrived ahead of schedule. It is a miracle that the sun can continue to shine on this land for more than two years. We can't expect too much now. We must
You have to rely on humans themselves.
The establishment of shelters, water extraction technology, and the establishment of agriculture in caves are the most important aspects that can allow humans to survive, but to be precise, only a small part of humans can survive.
The most desperate moment is coming. After the sun disappears, the entire world will plunge into coldness and darkness. It is extremely difficult for humans to survive in such a world.
If there is only a small number of humans, there is still a way to do it, but there is no way for such a large group of humans. The resources are simply not enough for that many humans to survive.
"The only way is to use high-yielding crops. I wonder how well Ellie and the others are doing with their research."
Gene laughed helplessly. For nearly a month, Ellie was almost always in the laboratory and rarely returned to the bedroom. Every time, Gene would bring food to the laboratory and chat with Ellie.
, she is still working.
Because Ellie also knows that if the research fails to make breakthrough progress, the humans on that grassland will be doomed and can only wait to die. In the end, the fighting for food will return to the few people who were there when the apocalypse occurred.
status of the month.
Moreover, the forces on the grassland should have been basically consolidated now. They should have been prepared for this day. Everyone's head seems to have a string stretched. Once this string is broken, human beings will fall into
To the most primitive madness and cruelty.
"We have to avoid the worst-case scenario from happening. I think it's better to get them moving as soon as possible."
Looking at the worried Gu Yi, Jean asked.
"Approximately how long will it take?"
Gu Yi answered after thinking for a long time.
"Half a year, conservative estimate."
"In half a year, as long as they work day and night, they can open up some shelters, with our help."
Gene stood up with a smile, extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand, and then looked at the sky in the distance. There was a touch of light gray on the edge of darkness in the distance. The sun was indeed disappearing at a very fast speed, and the temperature outside had dropped.
Several times.
Some cold-resistant plants have begun to wither, which is a very bad phenomenon because it means that the environment has begun to deteriorate. When humans see the environment deteriorating, it has already shown that the environment is not suitable for human survival.
"There's still one o'clock, Mr. Driver, let's go."
As Gu Yi said this, Jean laughed helplessly, squatted down, carried Gu Yi on his back, and jumped away in an instant.
Soon the two came to the last testing point, which was the top of a mountain. The surrounding plants looked very lush because it was much higher than other places.
After taking down the machine placed on the top of the mountain, Gu Yi began to check the data during this period.
"The situation is not very optimistic."
Gene snorted and waited for Gu Yi to record and update the data. He had to clear out the original old data and let the machine start recording again, otherwise some problems might occur.
Because this is not a stable indoors, but a dangerous outdoors.
Gu Yi also had to check the operation of the machines. The reason why it took so much time was entirely because some machines were damaged and Gu Yi could only repair them on site.
After a while, everything finally ended. It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, but now the sun was shining on my body and I couldn't feel the temperature at all.
Jean carried Gu Yi on his back and soon came to the edge of a mine in the mountains. As soon as the two landed, they saw Rose laughing and reading a book. After seeing the two of them, Rose put down her hand.
book.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Why are you here?"
Guyi glanced at the furnace outside the mine and the metal in a basket nearby. There was very little. Jean would serve as a porter, going back and forth between the mine and the base, transporting all the metal back.
"That's all you did all day long?"
Gu Yi asked, looking a little unhappy.
"What's the matter? It's a rare moment of relaxation. I'm not a machine. I'm not a robot like you two."
Jean smiled awkwardly, and Gu Yi sighed, and stood up directly to get started, intending to continue to get some ore and smelt it to obtain metal materials.
"I really don't understand what he is doing so seriously. Although we have become non-human beings now, we still have thoughts and feelings. We can't be like robots, working from morning to night. Anyway, I am too lazy to do it today.
Let’s talk about it tomorrow. It will take a few hours to finish.”
Jean nodded. Indeed, they have all become like robots recently. It should be because the sun is disappearing little by little.
Gene looked at the book in Rose's hand. It was a collection of stories, which included many short novels. It was a very thick book. Reading books was probably their only entertainment now.
Even though there is a network here, there are no content providers on the network.
After a while, Gu Yi came up with two big bags of ore and began to smelt it. His expression softened a lot at this time. He looked at Rose and said sincerely.
"Sorry."
"Seriously, really, I will do it well."
The three of them entered the mine, easily mined some ore, and then smelted it. The efficiency was very high. In less than an hour, the basket was full. Jean directly picked it up and said.
"Wait for me here for a while."
After Gene left, Rose sat down again. She took out a cigarette and started smoking. She had never touched this thing before because she thought it was very stupid, but recently she fell in love with it.
Looking at Gu Yi who was still busy, Rose frowned slightly and said with a pout.
"I asked you to stop for a while, Master Gu Yi, and chat with me for a while. I'm bored here alone."
Gu Yi smiled awkwardly and could only walk over.
"I have been thinking about a question these days. The issue of the length of life. If our life span may have no end now, then what does it mean for us to continue to survive?"
"To lead mankind to survive."
Gu Yi gave the answer without hesitation.
"What about ordinary people?"
Gu Yi scratched his head and thought for a while before saying.
"I don't know how to answer, but this is all I can do now."
Rose laughed.
"What do you think will happen if human life is extended?"
Gu Yi was a little confused, he said with a smile.
"This can't be done casually, right? They're not like us."
"Indeed, so I think we need to try it, what do you think?"
