Wallfacer: I suggest that humans be bad

Chapter 33 The Great Trough ([-])
In the 34th year of the Era of Crisis, Evian tried for the first time to obtain a doctorate in computer science recognized by the World Academy of Sciences.

The test is conducted in a closed room with a camera. Candidates are required to wear V-suits and enter the VR classroom.

In the master bedroom opposite, Song Xiang played chess with his daughter.

Seeing Yunyun who was not as cheerful as before, my father felt mixed feelings and felt very uncomfortable.

The prison-like environment is too tortured. No, in terms of the living environment alone, it is not even as good as the prison in the golden age. At least you can see the blue sky at that time, and you don’t need to wear a gas mask when you go out.

When environmental problems become more and more serious, people lose the ability to look up at the stars and see nothing when they look up.

When the data blue star is closed, the new generation loses the way to miss the past. They can only learn about the happy and beautiful golden age of human beings decades ago through the dictation of their parents.

Just after playing a game of chess, Song Xiang heard an urgent knock on the door, "Dawn, are you a resident of this community?"

Dawn: "Yes."

Community residents can open the door directly.

The door opened, and Li Fu said anxiously: "Xiangzi, do you have any potatoes? I'll exchange cabbage and tomatoes with you. You can exchange as much as you can. It's urgent! It's life-saving! Help me!"

As he spoke, he pointed to a box of vegetables beside him.

Song Xiang made a silent gesture and said in a low voice: "I have potatoes, how much should I change? Can you tell me the reason?"

"The weight is changed at 1:1.2, you will be fine after changing."

"There is no more glucose in the hospital. My wife can't eat after the operation and can only rely on glucose injections to maintain her life."

Potatoes, scientifically known as potatoes, are one of the important raw materials for industrial production of glucose.

Not only was there a lack of glucose, but the blood banks were depleted.

Hearing Li Fu's words, Song Xiang realized that the food problem was getting worse, so he immediately invited his neighbors into the house.

"Are these potatoes sent directly to the factory for processing?"

Li Fu nodded: "Yes, 20.00% of the finished product is charged as processing fee and transportation fee. Fortunately, Suguang is watching, otherwise I can guarantee that I won't even get 20.00% of the finished product."

After Shuguang joined the military and political system, corruption almost disappeared.

Song Xiang brought a box, weighed the potatoes and handed them to Li Fu, in exchange for more vegetables.

"thanks, thanks…"

After getting the potatoes, Li Fu bowed and thanked him again and again.

"Xiangzi, don't get sick! The hospital has doctors but no medicine. In the hospital, I see people dying of illness every day..."

"Hospitals don't need money for medical treatment, but the medicines that are in short supply are allocated to young people, children, and people with high education.

"Many people have been abandoned, and we have no reason to refute, because medical treatment does not cost money."

……

After sending Li Fu away, Song Xiang fell into deep thought.

On the roof, a cargo drone parked here. Li Fu, who was out of breath, stuffed two kilograms of potatoes into the warehouse. After waiting for people to stay away, the drone took off and headed for the pharmaceutical processing factory outside the city.

After that, he rushed to the hospital.

Yunyun ran out of the room, looked at the red fruit, and said expectantly, "Dad, I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes for lunch!"

Song Xiang recovered from his thoughts, rubbed his daughter's head, and said, "No problem."

Three hours later, Yi Yun came out of the examination room. From the frustrated look on his face, it could be seen that he failed.

Song Xiang brought lunch to his wife and said, "It's okay, we still have time, and I will study with you in the future."

Yiyun nodded: "Let's work together, we have to escape as soon as possible, I have a bad feeling."

"Yeah, it's too late if you don't run."

After his daughter was born, Song Xiang gave up the exam, because the small oasis built by his family and the community gave him the hope of self-sufficiency, but this insignificant hope was just torn to pieces by Li Fu with his ruthless reality. .

"If you don't run, it will be too late? What do you mean?"

Yiyun didn't even care about eating, and asked in horror.

Faced with his wife's doubts, Song Xiang told the story of Li Fu's family, and then said:
"Even if the small oasis in the city exports food while ensuring self-sufficiency, our country's overall food production and consumption are still in a state of being unable to make ends meet."

"The food supply has also fallen into a vicious circle, no, it has already fallen into a vicious circle."

It started from the moment the environment was destroyed. This is the consequence that has just been revealed after 30 years of life-threatening development.

……

The next day, Song Xiang took Yunyun to the bank of the Yangtze River to play as promised.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, but the air was extremely hot, and besides the river, the water vapor was heavy and it was very stuffy.

The breeze blew some dust from time to time, Song Xiang said: "Yunyun, don't take off the gas mask."

Yunyun nodded, leaned on the railing and looked at the river, and asked obediently, "Dad, do you think there are fish in the river?"

"I don't know, but probably not. The chemical pollution is so serious that the fish are all poisoned to death."

Looking at the turbid river surface, Song Xiang found that the water level seemed to be much lower than he remembered, so he took out his mobile phone to check.

"Is there a drought in the upper reaches?"

He didn't know, and couldn't find information on the Internet.

The glaciers are melting, the sea level has risen by one meter, and the global average temperature has risen to [-] degrees. Logically speaking, there should be floods.

Song Xiang thought about when was the last time it rained, maybe a month ago?It was so heavy that the underground farms in the community were almost flooded. I heard that there was a mudslide in Shuzhou.

"By the way, the land in the northwest, southwest, and central China is extremely desertified. There is no vegetation to prevent soil erosion. No matter how much precipitation there is, the land can't hold water. It's just like a desert!"

"Damn it! No wonder there is less and less food, and the small oasis in the city also needs to consume water resources!"

"With the water purification plant, we are not afraid of water pollution, but if there is no water, the water purification plant will not be able to produce water!"

Thinking about it, Song Xiang looked back at the tall buildings behind him, as if he was looking at a man-eating devil.

If the water supply is not available, the fragile ecosystem of the small oasis will completely collapse within a few weeks.

Then what?what happens!Men dare not even think about it.

This city can have a population of 2000 million.

In the following days, Song Xiang would come to the Yangtze River Bridge every day to see the lifeline of the city.

The water was getting less and less day by day. On a certain day, the Yangtze River suddenly ran out of water. According to Song Xiang's judgment based on yesterday's runoff, it should be that the upper reaches of the city blocked the river, or the river was blocked by a mudslide.

Hope it's the latter.

The man ran home with a numb scalp, called Evian to store water in a prepared container, and then informed the community of the news.

In anxiety, the city ushered in judgment.

"This is an unprecedented drought, but human civilization is no longer the child it once was."

"Excavate rivers to divert seawater back into the inland, and do a good job in expanding and upgrading water purification plants in various places to ensure that desalination projects can supply domestic water for the whole people."

"Please don't panic. Freight trains will transport a total of 1000 million tons of seawater to various water-scarce cities every day."

The daily water consumption of 13 billion people is just to meet the needs of drinking water to quench their thirst, and more than 200 million tons of fresh water are needed, not to mention the water consumption of small oases and industrial water.

"Our city has one billion cubic meters of groundwater. Before the river reaches our city, our city will rely on groundwater to tide over the difficulties."

That is to say, a freight train full of seawater just passes through this important traffic center without leaving a drop of water behind.

"From today, households should turn on smart water use and limit water consumption."
