Chapter 471
Woke up feeling refreshed.After completing the daily morning exercise tasks, Sun Yuan began to report on the situation of Zhao Qing and the others while having breakfast.

"Sir, according to your instructions, I put them in a four-person suite on the fifteenth floor."

Li Mu said, "Where is the sick little girl?"

Sun Yuan said: "The little girl named Qing Ning, the fever subsided after one o'clock in the morning last night, and the girls took turns taking care of her at night."

Li Mu nodded: "You go and have a look at them in a while, see what they lack, and make arrangements."

Sun Yuan nodded: "Okay, sir!"

After breakfast, I came to the floor-to-ceiling windows and used a telescope to observe the water level marks everywhere. The average water depth on the surface was about [-] meters, and many places exceeded [-] meters.

Basically, no matter whether it is a building or a villa, all the second floors are flooded, and some even have more than half of the second floors flooded.

On the road, assault boats were still coming and going, and with limited manpower, they were doing some urgent rescue and disaster relief work.

In fact, the electricity in most places in the entire cloud city has been cut off, and only some key places have their own electricity and are still supporting it.

Even the mobile phone signal is intermittent. Although Li Mu asked the operator to install a special signal tower on the top floor of the Muwu Building, and he is not afraid of power outages, the signal is still not very good.

Sometimes it takes a long time to load a video, and it is smoother to watch a plain text news.It can only be said that there is still a smooth information channel with the outside world, which is better than nothing.

At noon, Li Mu invited a few people to have a simple meal, and then got up again.

In the evening, I got a hot piece of news. The Bureau of Meteorology combined all kinds of data and made a guess. This nationwide heavy rainfall will end in two or three days in some areas.

Li Mu studied the above analysis and various data, and it really makes sense.

In the next two days, the heavy rain continued, and the average water depth on the surface exceeded [-] meters, and the water depth in many places exceeded [-] meters.Not only the second floor was flooded, but the third floor also began to flood in some places.

The houses in many places could not hold on, especially in rural areas, and many tragedies occurred.

When everyone fell into pessimism and despair, the heavy rain that lasted for nearly ten days suddenly stopped.

Li Mu was taking a nap at that time, when he heard Sun Yuan's excited voice: "Sir, the rain has stopped... the rain has stopped!"

Li Mu opened his eyes, put on his slippers and came to the French windows, opened the curtains, the rain really stopped, the sky was as blue as washing, and a rainbow was erected in the sky, which was extremely beautiful.

He took the elevator to the top of the building, looked at the rainbow in the sky, and took a deep breath of fresh air. He was refreshed, his mood became better, and he felt an urge to shout.

He didn't shout, but the others did.Seeing that the water level is getting deeper and deeper, even the third floor has started to flood in many places, causing many people to fall into despair.Now, the rain is over and the sky is clear, and the rest of the life after the catastrophe has plunged everyone into ecstasy. The whole city, from time to time, resounds with shouts and roars of joy.

At the beginning, there were only one or two occasional yells, but many people were emotionally drawn to join in, and the yelling became more and more, gradually becoming one.

For a while, the whole city roared and cheered continuously, stirring back and forth on the water surface for a long time.

After standing on the top of the building for a while, I returned to the 33rd floor, took out my mobile phone and swiped, but there was no signal.

There was still mobile phone signal a few days ago, but yesterday I don’t know where it was flooded, and there was no signal at all.Now that the rain has stopped, there is still no signal. It seems that it will take some time for the signal to recover.

Next, wait for the water to recede slowly.

The speed of the water level drop was not as fast as imagined. A week after the rain stopped, the accumulated water only drained away, and the ground was in a mess.

There are rescue and disaster relief teams everywhere on the road, and various professional vehicles are constantly flowing.

Li Mu still stayed in the Muwu Building, took out his high-power binoculars and looked at the small river in the distance, he was stunned for a moment, it was still that small river!This width is several times larger.

Not only that, at night, the mobile phone finally had a signal. Although the internet speed was a bit slow, I still saw a lot of shocking news.

For example, in an aerial video taken by a drone, the camera is aimed at the bottom, a big river with a width of one or two kilometers and a twist and turn.

According to the introduction of the video, it is not the Yangtze River or the Yellow River, but a new river formed after this continuous heavy rain.Some of the river courses below are washed by small rivers, and some are directly farmland.

It took half a month from the first drop of rain to the time when the city's water leaked all over the place.

For half a month, the highest water level on the surface reached four to five meters. It can be said that except for some high mountains, the rest of the place is a whole country.

So much water will naturally be drained and flow to the sea.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.The water itself is four or five meters above the surface. He doesn't care whether you are farmland or a river...it will only flow through low-lying places.

As the saying goes, there are no roads in the world, and if you walk a lot, you will find a road; there are no rivers in the world, but if there is more water flowing and scouring, rivers will naturally form.

This is how the river was formed.

Not only this one, the half-month flood disaster that spread across the country gave birth to many new rivers, and even a few large rivers that were not inferior in width to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River.

Another shocking piece of news is about the rising sea level. According to the measurement of relevant units, the sea level has risen by 1.85 meters this year, most of which happened in the last month.

In view of this, after the flood receded, while the weather was still cool, they organized disaster relief and rescue supplies, and at the same time transferred the population to the west on a large scale.

Not only the coastal areas, but I heard that the western area is farther away from the sea, and less water vapor blows past. This time the nationwide heavy rainfall, the precipitation in the western area is obviously much smaller, so many people in Yunshi brought their families to West transfer.

On this day, the garbage and soil brought by the heavy rain and flood in the city were cleaned up, and the order gradually returned to normal. Before the temperature rose, Li Mu made a rare trip to the Muwu Building.

His Cavalier XV, Mercedes-Benz G63, BMW M5... These cars, thanks to the high load-bearing elevators installed in the building by Li Mu, were mainly used to transport various materials. Before the heavy rain, these cars were also transported to the building by him. superior.

Not only his car, but also a batch of vehicles of various models and uses of the company were transported upstairs to prevent them from being soaked in water.

It's a pity that there are so many cars in the country, most of them have become soaking cars, and some of them don't even know where they went. They have been soaked in water for too long, and they are basically scrapped.

I drove the Cavalier XV out of the Muwu Building. After not coming out for such a long time, it was pretty good to drive around outside.

Besides him, there were Zhao Qing, Jiang Hui, and Qing Ning in the car, all of whom wanted to come out to have a look.While driving the car, listening to the chirping of a few girls in my ears, I soon came to the main road.

Zhao Qing suddenly pointed to a motorcade and said, "There are so many cars and so much luggage, how come they seem to be moving."

Jiang Hui looked at it and said, "Probably moved to the west!"

Zhao Qing said: "West move, is the situation in the west better?"

Jiang Hui said: "It should be because of the rainfall this time, there is less rainfall in the west, the water level is not high, and there are few flooded places."

Zhao Qing wondered: "Why? Didn't it mean that this time it was a nationwide heavy rain?"

Li Mudao: "The main reason is that the west side is far away from the sea. The water vapor in the sea needs a long distance to blow over. The water vapor is not too much, and the rainfall is naturally not too big."

"In addition, there are also reasons for the terrain. We belong to the Great Plains, and the water flow will be evenly distributed in all places. There are no places with particularly high or low altitudes, and we have to flood them all at once."

"In the western region, the terrain is more complicated, with ups and downs, and many cities are built on high places. If there is too much rain, floods will occur, and the water will flow to low-lying places, and the cities will not be implicated."

"In addition, the precipitation in the western region has been low this time, and it is normal for the flood to be relatively light."

Zhao Qing's eyes lit up and said, "It's so good? If we move there, don't we have to worry about the flood!"

Li Mu said: "With the amount of precipitation over there, as long as you are careful, it shouldn't be flooded."

Zhao Qing said: "No wonder everyone moved westward, it turns out that the west is really good."

Li Mudao: "Looking at the problem, we have to look at it from two aspects. From the perspective of rainfall and flood disasters, the western region is really good, with less rainfall and no fear of flood threats."

"However, everything has a good side and a bad side. Less rain is a good thing, especially during floods. At other times, don't forget that before the rain, the greatest threat to human beings is high temperature. Thanks to the continuous The heavy rain last week brought the temperature down, otherwise it would be so hot now!"

"Think about it, the amount of rainfall in the western region is so low this time, will the cooling effect be greatly reduced? In the future, there will be less surface water available for evaporation than ours, and it will not have much effect on temperature regulation. When all the factors are added together, the temperature must be higher than Yunshi.”

Jiang Hui interjected, "What Li Mu said makes sense. I searched the Internet just now. Our temperature today is 35 degrees. The average temperature in the western region is 39 degrees. Some places have already exceeded [-] degrees."

Zhao Qing covered her mouth and said, "It's so much higher than Yunshi. I'm more afraid of heat than floods. Drowning is at least better than dying from heat."

As she spoke, she looked at the street again, when another migrating convoy passed by, Zhao Qing said: "The weather over there is hotter than here, why are there still so many people going there!"

Li Mudao: "After all, without the threat of floods, it is a huge attraction for many people. Besides, there is no other choice in coastal areas."

"It's Yunshi. I didn't expect so many people to move westward. I don't know if they can bear the hardships there. It's also good. There are fewer people in Yunshi, and the pressure is less. It consumes less resources and is easier to maintain. order and a more harmonious atmosphere.”

Zhao Qing asked curiously, "Why do you say you have to live a hard life?"

Li Mu said: "Do you know how many people moved westward?"

Zhao Qing said: "Coastal areas, plus cities like ours, plus the population moving westward, there are hundreds of millions."

Zhao Qing widened her eyes and said, "So many!"

Li Mu said: "It's not too much. After all, the coastal cities have a good economy and a large population. Coupled with the westward migration of people from other areas, a few hundred million is normal."

"With so many people moving westward, think about how much food, housing, and supplies you need..."

Zhao Qing was dumbfounded.

Li Mu went on to say: "Let's talk about houses first. Although the real estate industry has developed in recent years, the western region, especially the high-altitude areas in the northwest, has a limited economy. Even if a lot of real estate is built, compared with the demand of hundreds of millions, it is still a drop in the bucket. "

"Think about it, with so many people rushing over, where are they going to settle down? Even if the country will resettle, how much can be built in such a short time. How many places can there be for so many people."

"In addition, there are food and supplies. Such high temperature weather is a fatal blow to agriculture. There is no solution. The current food is less than one bite."

"Although the country has transported a large amount of food and supplies to the west, there will always be a day when they are eaten up. For long-term considerations, some restrictive measures are also necessary. The supplies may be distributed according to quotas."

"Finally, there is also the problem of water. The northwest is short of water, and the rain is not heavy enough. The little water in the river is quickly evaporated. Next, everyone has to face the problem of water shortage. "

Zhao Qing was a little dumbfounded. She originally thought moving to the west would be a good idea, but she didn't expect life there to be so miserable. She can only be thankful that she didn't rush there.

Several people chatted and soon came to the villa area.

Jiang Hui said pleasantly, "Let's go back to the villa!"

Li Mudao: "Two days ago, I asked someone to clean the villa and pump the water in the basement. It will take a while to fully restore the original appearance, let's go over and see the progress together."

Soon they arrived at the place, and everyone got out of the car. The yards of the two villas had been cleared out, and several water pumps were humming, pumping out the water in the basement continuously.

Everyone turned around, but there was nothing to visit, and it would take a long time to return to the villa.

Li Mu said: "Let's go, go to the street and walk around."

Everyone agreed in unison.

The car quickly left the villa and drove on the Yunshi Highway. There were very few cars on the road, most of them were riding bicycles, and some of them were walking without being able to grab a bicycle.

When they saw Li Mu's luxurious armored jeep, they all paid attention.

Qing Ning suddenly said: "In the past, there were so many cars in Yunshi, and there were traffic jams every day. Today there are too few cars on the road, so why are so many people riding bicycles and walking instead?"

Li Mu glanced at her with a smile and said, "They can't help it either, the rain has been too heavy and too long, so many houses have been flooded, and the car can't run even more."

"Right now, there are basically flooded cars in the city, and the more serious ones have been completely broken down. Only a small number of them have been prepared in advance, and the cars have been preserved."

"In addition, due to high temperature and flood disasters, production has been greatly affected, such as oil. Today, overseas oil lines have been cut off, and it is all domestically produced."

"In the future, oil will also be a scarce commodity, and many people may no longer be able to drive a car."

Qing Ning nodded, and looked at Li Mu infatuatedly, thinking of the way he came to the villa to hug her when he had a fever, her face turned slightly red.
