Chapter 2 Earth 2080
"Today is the summer solstice." Mo Tayou looked at the tepid sun in the sky and then looked at the cotton coat on his body. "Nnd, summer is like winter." After a sigh, Mo Tayou continued to shovel the snow in front of his door. Even though he had to wear cotton coats almost every day, he still complained about the ghost weather. "Seventy years ago, scholars on Earth were still predicting the warming of the earth. Who would have thought that now there are only summer and winter seasons near the equator. Hey, things are impermanent."
All this starts five years ago. In 2075, Russia discovered a huge rock cavity deep in the Arctic Ocean. In the same year, Russia organized nearly 100 investigators and went deep into the ice ocean 4,000 meters below the ice ocean, but found that even after the rock formation was blown up, the cavity was still protected by solid ice. The next year, the Antarctic scientific expedition teams of the United States and China also discovered a huge cavity under the Antarctic continent. In the same year, Russia joined the team between China and the United States and China for the Antarctic hollow.
In 2077, a team of three countries, composed of three countries, went down into a hole 500 meters below sea level. But the hole was still protected by solid ice. But this time, the United States and Russia wanted to cut in with huge laser cutting. Just when China was planning to agree to this plan, the leader of the Chinese team, Dr. Ran Dongfang, who was nearly 70 years old, discovered a touch of blue color deep in the ice and thought of a legend. The thousands of years of black ice was nearly blue. So, under Professor Ran's insistence, China withdrew from the scientific expedition team.
Professor Ran and his entourage stayed and monitored the actions of the other two countries. In August 2077, the EU joined in with the most advanced laser equipment and the cutting began. A month later, the team advanced 30 meters. In October, the team only advanced 10 meters. In the next four months, a total of 10 meters was advanced. At this time, Professor Ran found that the color of the ice had reached black and blue. So all Chinese personnel and materials in Antarctica were evacuated. At the same time, Japan came to Antarctica with new ice-breaking technology.
On May 18, 2078, with new technology, the expedition team advanced ten meters and could see a light in the black ice. Even Professor Ran was wondering whether he was too sensitive. The world changed.
According to the subsequent investigation, everyone adhered to their duties that day, without accidents, and suddenly, all the ice in the Antarctic cave melted, replaced by endless cold air. In an instant, scientific researchers from several countries lost their ability to move due to extreme cold. One minute later, a super-large blizzard appeared over Antarctica, with an area of about one quarter of Antarctica. One hour later, all the sea areas around Antarctica were frozen.
At the same time, the Arctic Ocean and the underwater ice caves also gushed out a large amount of cold air. The huge cold current turned the entire Arctic Ocean into ice surface.
A week later, two cold currents gathered near the equator. In the following month, the earth had snowed for a whole month, and the earth officially entered the Glacier Age. From then on, there were only winter and a short warm season in the north and south of the equator. Even the equatorial area could only live summer days when the sun shone directly.
Severe cold leads to a large number of deaths in plants. Even though technological advances make the growth of plants not limited by many conditions, the earth is in the middle of unprepared conditions. Severe cold and famine lead to a large reduction in the population of the earth. Nine out of ten rooms are empty, and there are less than one billion people on the earth.
Mo Tayou was very lucky. When the severe cold came, he and his family were on vacation in Hainan. The cold wave was only equivalent to a heavy snowfall in the north for Hainan. The Mo family is a big family in the local area. During the famine, the Mo family worked together to survive the difficult 2078. Although the Mo family's food was given priority, many elderly people and frail people still did not survive, and the entire family lost one-third of the members. But basically the young people and children survived.
Mo Tayou swept through the snow in front of the door, returned to the house, turned on the TV and watched the news. "According to the observations of the Global Cold Flow Monitoring Bureau and the International Space Station, a huge cold wave will erupt again from the North and South Poles. The intensity this time will be more intense than last year, but please rest assured that our preparations are more fully prepared!" "Irritable." Mo Tayou changed the station.
After the outbreak in 2078, in October 2079, a huge cold current broke out again in the North and South Poles. Without a reason, it suddenly broke out.
But the whole world is prepared for the cold wave, and the cultivation of food indoors has made an amazing breakthrough. So even if the cold wave lasts longer and is colder, it is far less harmful to humans than it was for the first time.
"According to the National Observatory, a large number of small meteorites will descend on the earth in the near future. But please rest assured that meteorites will burn in the atmosphere. Even if they land on the earth, they are not big meteorites. Please keep calm."
