Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 245 245. Air pollution survival mode ([-])
After discovering that there was a demon worm in the corner of the room, Tang Qinqin took the opportunity to visit Grandma Ning's house to further confirm his suspicion.

Animals change their native living environment and migrate, mostly in pursuit of a better breeding environment or food sources.

All things are animistic, and animals often perceive danger more keenly than humans. Their abnormal behavior before disaster strikes is also a warning to us.

Demonic worms that have lived in extreme underground environments for thousands of years suddenly appeared on a very unusual and large scale less than a hundred meters from the surface. It may be that their underground living environment is different, or it may be due to lack of food.

But considering what they meant by "hot", a terrible thought suddenly came to Tang Qinqin's mind.

magmatic activity.

There are two main ways of magmatic activity, which can be simply summarized as intrusion and eruption.

Either way, it's very unfriendly to people living underground.

Magma activity becomes stronger and continues to rise. Hot temperatures and toxic gases threaten people's lives and property at any time.

Tang Qinqin wanted to tell the person in charge of the underground town the news as soon as possible.

"Grandma Ning, I want to tell you something." Tang Qinqin remembered that the person in charge who wanted stability and refused to change was quite troubled. She wanted to discuss with Grandma Ning a countermeasure that would make them feel the news was credible.

"Say it, Qinqin girl, I'm listening, old lady." Grandma Ning said with a gentle face.

Tang Qinqin explained his findings and conjectures.

"What!? Qin Qin girl, are you telling the truth?" Ning Jingxuan was shocked.

She knew what that meant, that if true it would be a widespread disaster.

"Grandma Ning, to tell you the truth, there are worms in almost all of our living areas. It's just that they are too small and like to hide in corners, so people usually don't notice them." Tang Qinqin said as calmly as possible, and then He explained to her the original living environment of the devil worm.

After listening to Qin Zhuo on the side, he turned and walked to the corner of the room for confirmation.

His weak eyesight forced him to stay close to the ground and observe carefully for a while.

"Grandma, it's true. There are many, many." Qin Zhuo ran back to Grandma Ning, his voice trembling and his face full of fear.

"Girl Qinqin, leave this matter to me. I'll go talk to the person in charge. Xiaozhuo, you also come and lead grandma the way." Grandma Ning was silent for a moment, picked up the walking stick, and hurriedly walked out.

Tang Qinqin stepped forward to support her.

"I'll go with you too."

……

Earthworms, who are responsible for searching for plant seeds underground, have also felt that the soil temperature has been abnormal recently.

After hearing what they said, the little coward came back and told Tang Qinqin.

At this time, Tang Qinqin was sitting with Grandma Ning in the person in charge's office. The room was crowded with people.

After a lot of dodging under the feet of many humans, and finally returning safely to Tang Qinqin's exclusive pocket, Xiao Counseling was greatly relieved.

Grandma Ning had already conveyed the news to the person in charge. People in the room came over to watch the excitement after hearing the commotion.

Most people, like the person in charge, disagreed with what Grandma Ning said, and a few people felt that they should rather believe it than not.

If nothing else, few people can calmly accept the bugs that have begun to "invade" human living space.

Not seeing or knowing is one thing, knowing is another.

……

But in the end, the person in charge agreed to step up vigilance and sent people to investigate and collect evidence underground.

Because... Tang Qinqin came up with a relatively powerful water treatment system.

It is said to be powerful because it can directly treat wastewater even with highly corrosive acid rain and output clean drinking water with high efficiency, not to mention ordinary production and domestic sewage.

I have personally verified the excellence of the water treatment system, and believe that I have solved the most important issue related to people's livelihood. The supply of fresh water resources is no longer imminent, and the person in charge has become much more pleasant and approachable.

Tang Qinqin helped everyone drive the worms that entered their homes to areas near the underground town.

As long as you don't interfere with people's lives, let them do whatever they want.

It can also be considered as a reward for their "tipping off the information".

After a series of analyzes such as soil surveying and sampling by professionals, Tang Qinqin's conjecture was confirmed.

The underground magma is moving upward at a slow but steady pace.

After the results came out, the underground town held its first national emergency meeting.

The person in charge gave a detailed explanation of the current survival situation that people are facing, and reminded people to be ready to "escape" at any time.

Under the harsh and increasingly harsh living conditions, only by working together and uniting as one can we win life.

……

The army of earthworms found a lot of seeds. There were not only differences in size, color and shape between seeds, but also a big "age difference".

Tang Qinqin carefully performed "useless tissue removal" on many seeds that had been buried in the ground for too long or were eroded by insects or mold, and then soaked in the water of life.

Even after sleeping underground for thousands of years, ancient lotus seeds can still sprout and bloom. Nature gives life to all things, and the small seeds also contain infinite life force.

If you want to change the living conditions of black towns, you need to make the surface environment suitable for human habitation and survival.

First of all, we must find ways to get rid of the stubborn acid rain and reduce acid deposition.

Acidification of surface soils requires the use of quicklime to neutralize, and deep plowing before planting.

Quicklime, also known as burnt lime, is mainly composed of calcium oxide. It is usually prepared by calcining natural rocks whose main component is calcium carbonate at high temperature to generate carbon dioxide and calcium oxide.

It's hard to say anything else. There are a lot of rocks underground, so the person in charge organized the manpower to do whatever they wanted.

In order to prevent the carbon emissions caused by production from exacerbating environmental degradation, Tang Qinqin placed sprouted plants outside the quicklime manufacturing site to absorb excess carbon dioxide.

Enough manpower quickly opened up land suitable for planting, and plants that sprouted and were full of vitality were transplanted and began to grow vigorously with people's expectations.

Earthworms, as the main force in deep plowing, have devoted themselves to the reclamation work of the next piece of land.

The urban weather monitoring center is still on duty around the clock, recording changes in monitoring data in real time.

……

The steaming heat of underground magma activity has approached the underground town, and people can feel the natural power coming from under their feet.

Grandma Ning has bad eyesight, but she is restless, struggling to cook food and hot water for everyone every day. Qin Zhuo joined the team to clean up the debris on the ground, set foot on the ground again, and saw the outside world after more than ten years.
