Chapter 1619 DI Elements, the real culprit behind zombies and natural disasters

To the right of Sanqing Temple is the viewing platform.

The observation deck is located at a higher position on the entire hill, higher than the outer city wall.

From this position, you can overlook the scenes in the outer city and buffer city.

After Li Yu learned from Mr. Hu that Qingyuan was at the viewing platform, he walked to the viewing platform from the gate of Sanqing View.

After passing through a winding path, pine needles from the pine trees on the roadside occasionally fell, causing a stinging sensation on people's bodies.

But at this moment, Li Yu could no longer care about the feeling of pine needles falling on his body. He just wanted to find out how long the drought would last. What's going on with the clouds in the sky?

He had too many doubts that he wanted to figure out.

After crossing the path, the front suddenly opened up. In a wide open space, there was a tall Taoist priest wearing a Hunyuan Dao bun with his back to them, standing at the edge of the viewing platform.

The gentle breeze rolled up Taoist Priest Qingyuan's wide robe and fluttered in the wind.

"Taoist Priest Qingyuan." Li Yu shouted from behind.

Qingyuan heard the voice behind him and turned his head. Qingyuan, who had always been calm, now looked a little solemn.

There were dark clouds covering the space between his eyebrows, and he looked worried.

"City Lord."

Qingyuan bowed towards Li Yu and saluted.

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat after seeing his solemn expression.

Come closer.

"What's wrong? Priest Qingyuan, you look a little worried."

Taoist Priest Qingyuan said with some disappointment: "I was wrong. City Lord, do you still remember the little poem I told you?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

"Thunderstorms clear the sea and there are no waves

The water of Jiuqu Yellow River is not yellow

Disaster caused by alien objects from the sky

Proclaiming himself emperor, king and unifying

There is still an evil star lurking in the northwest

I couldn’t sing the Peace Song everywhere. "

"What's wrong with this little poem?"

Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said:

"I originally thought that the end of this majestic apocalypse would be in the northwest, but now it seems that I was wrong. Even if the problem in the northwest is solved, the song of peace will still not be sung."

"The key point is that extraterrestrial objects cause disaster, which means that some things from extraterrestrial places will cause some unknown changes and disasters."

"Then what?" Li Yu asked urgently.

Qingyuan pointed to the accumulated clouds in the distance and said:

"I used the qi-gazing technique to observe the clouds, but I couldn't understand the clouds. This scene was completely inconsistent with all the conditions recorded in the qi-gazing technique."

Li Yu frowned and asked:

"I just saw something strange about the clouds, and it hasn't rained for four months. I would like to ask Taoist Master Qingyuan to divine when will this severe drought pass?"

Qingyuan looked at the clouds in the distance with a wry smile, shook his head and said:

"Man has a thousand calculations, but God has one calculation."

"I dare not calculate all the hexagrams, because the world is unpredictable. The sky is unpredictable, the earth is irreversible, and human events are unpredictable."

"There is a disaster coming from the sky. This extraterrestrial thing has changed too much. There is no need to calculate it anymore. Before the city lord came to me, I divined a hexagram, and the hexagram was incomprehensible. I can no longer understand or understand this. everything."

When Li Yu heard Qingyuan once again say that there was a disaster coming from the sky, he thought of a possibility guessed by Ma Di and the meteorologist.

There is not just one extraterrestrial meteorite in this world. The meteorite in the northwest cannot have such a big impact on the weather.

In addition to the one in the northwest, there are likely to be other extraterrestrial meteorites, and they may be very large.

It is most likely that these meteorites have caused the continuous natural disasters since the end of the world.

Meteorites are also the cause of zombie outbreaks.

Now it seems that if we want to end the zombies, we must get the meteorite from the northwest.

To restore normal climate and weather, all extraterrestrial meteorites must be found.

They know where the meteorite in the northwest is, but what about the other meteorites?

Li Yu felt a little depressed when he thought of all this.

In this apocalyptic world, it is not just zombies that are terrifying, but also endless natural disasters.

Five years before the end of the world, he relied on his foresight to successfully lead the Da Zhangshu Base to avoid many natural disasters and gradually develop and grow.

Qingyuan had predicted natural disasters several times, and he originally thought that he could still rely on him in the future to make up for his loss of the advantage of rebirth.

However, now Qingyuan tells himself that he can't figure it out!

The thick cumulus clouds in the sky have evaporated so much water that the water droplets in the clouds should have fallen long ago.

But, it just doesn’t rain!

Science can't explain it.

Metaphysics can no longer be explained.

Li Yu was silent, and Qing Yuan next to him was also silent.

A long while.

Li Yu was a little unwilling, so he asked again for confirmation:

"Taoist Master Qingyuan, how long do you think this drought will last? What consequences will the clouds in the sky have?"

Qingyuan smiled bitterly and said:

"I'm sorry for my incompetence. I've tried all kinds of methods. No matter it's aura or divination, I can't explain it. But from the original little poem, I think it's still the line about alien beings causing disaster. , the most critical thing, is most likely the root cause of all this.”

What he said was not much different from what Madi and the others had guessed.

It's nothing more than a meteorite from the sky.

But where is it! ?

No solution.

"Okay." Li Yu sighed.

He felt inexplicably powerless.

The reason why the development of the Da Zhangshu Base was suppressed before was because of the uncertainty of natural disasters.

In the years before his rebirth, he had seen many large and medium-sized forces go to ruin, and the main reason was natural disasters.

The larger the base, the greater the impact of natural disasters.

If you can't survive natural disasters, you may go to ruin.

The natural disaster at this stage is already very obvious, that is, drought.

But how long it will last, we don't know.

After the drought is over, whether there will be other natural disasters, we don't know.

But Li Yu was reborn, and with the experience of his previous life, he already had 11 years of experience in the end of the world.

In these years, he led the big camphor tree base to continuously increase the walls and strengthen its defense.

And in the past few years, he didn't dare to develop vigorously, just to find a correct development path.

Stable food production-solid base defense-continuous collection of various useful materials-absorb population and digest.

On the big camphor tree base side, he even maintained a planned economy, just worried that the pace was too fast, leading to many uncertain factors.

After so many years of natural disasters, their experience in resisting natural disasters is not to be underestimated.

They all survived intact.

And constantly improve the defense system, facing typhoons, rainstorms, floods, locust plagues, extreme cold and heat, volcanic eruptions, polar nights, magnetic storms. There are experiences.

Even the wall-climbing zombies that appear later, even without ultraviolet lamps, they can still solve the problem by moving the switch.

He couldn't figure out what the cumulus clouds in the sky would lead to.

When he couldn't figure out some things, he would talk to someone and bump into ideas.

It seems that Qingyuan can't get other useful information for the time being. After thinking again and again, Li Yu thought he could talk to Madi and meteorologist Song Zhihong.

"Master Qingyuan, I'm leaving first. If you have any latest ideas, you can contact me directly."

Qingyuan nodded and clasped his fists: "Okay, City Lord."

Li Yu turned around and walked towards the direction of Sanqing Temple.

Qingyuan looked at Li Yu's departing back, stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers, and calculated for a long time without a clue, and smiled bitterly.

Alas.

Li Yu rode his electric donkey, left Sanqing Temple, and hurried to the Zombie Research Institute. Opposite the Zombie Research Institute, there is a Natural Disaster Research Institute, formerly the Meteorological College.

But later, experts and professors from the southwest joined, and experts from the north were integrated.

Some experts from multiple fields such as geologists, zoologists, botanists, astronomers, physicists, chemists, etc. were integrated to form the Natural Disaster Research Institute.

These two research institutes condense the wisdom of the highest educated talents in the big camphor tree base.

Li Yu parked the electric donkey outside the Zombie Research Institute.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has four branches,

Zombie Research Institute, Natural Disaster Research Institute, Physical and Chemical Engineering Institute, and Military Research Institute.

The Minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology is Bai Jie, and the Deputy Minister is He Bing, the Dean of the Military Research Institute.

After Bai Jie became the Minister, Madi was in charge of the Zombie Research Institute, but it was under the control of Bai Jie.

He was the first to enter the Zombie Research Institute. Although Bai Jie served as the Minister of Science and Technology, she usually stayed here.

Li Yu had just entered the Zombie Research Institute when he met Xiaolan, who was wearing a white work suit. She was walking through the aisle with a stack of documents and saw Li Yu at a glance.

"City Lord."

Li Yu stopped when he saw Xiaolan.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Notify Bai Jie and Madi and ask them to come to the Natural Disaster Research Institute opposite for a meeting later."

"Ah? OK." Xiaolan was stunned for a few seconds and nodded in reply.

Xiaolan has always been a bit of a natural fool and is slow to do things.

Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, she has been following Bai Jie.

After joining the camphor tree base, she has been staying in the Zombie Research Institute. Except for going out to observe the migration of zombies and other research content about zombies, she has hardly left the camphor tree base.

To be precise, she basically goes from one place to another: residence, research institute, and cafeteria.

After Li Yu finished his instructions, he turned around and walked towards the Natural Disaster Research Institute opposite.

The Natural Disaster Research Institute currently has 38 people, gathering talents from various disciplines.

There are many independent small research institutes under the Natural Disaster Research Institute, which are divided into different categories. On the one hand, they can study the subjects they have learned, and on the other hand, they can integrate them to study natural disasters.

No delay in both.

As soon as I entered the Natural Disaster Research Institute, I saw Zhao Ruyu in the hall.

"Hello, City Lord." Zhao Ruyu said to Li Yu with an astronomical telescope in his hand.

"Let everyone stop what they are doing for a while and hold a small meeting in the large conference room."

"Okay." Although Zhao Ruyu was a little confused, he still didn't ask.

Li Yu pushed open the door of the conference room of the Natural Disaster Research Institute.

The walls around the conference room are whiteboards, which are convenient for researchers to write their ideas on them during discussions.

Li Yu noticed that there was a progress chart on the whiteboard next to the door.

It clearly wrote about various abnormal situations of recent droughts and research progress.

However, most of the research progress was blank at the end.

It seemed that they were all stuck at a certain node.

Just as Li Yu was quietly looking at the words on the whiteboard, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

It was not the people from the Natural Disaster Research Institute who came in, but Bai Jie and Madi.

After they received Xiaolan's notification, they immediately handed over the work in hand to other researchers.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

"Yes, sit down." Li Yu nodded.

Take your eyes away from the whiteboard and walk to the top seat.

"Mayor, do you have anything to ask us?" Bai Jie asked.

"Have you seen the accumulated clouds outside?" Li Yu asked back.

Bai Jie and Madi looked at each other. They certainly saw it.

It's just that the accumulation of water droplets in the clouds has not yet been studied out.

Bai Jie said:

"Yesterday, we commissioned the helicopter brigade captain Lao Bi to send someone to fly a helicopter with a group of natural disaster researchers to fly at high altitudes and study the clouds in the air at close range."

"And conduct sampling research. Now Song Zhihong and others are probably busy with this."

"Yeah." Li Yu nodded.

He didn't know about this. After all, he was the mayor, and he couldn't know everything in the base.

At this time, dense footsteps came from outside the meeting room.

The door of the meeting room was pushed open, and Song Zhihong led the way in, followed by dozens of expert researchers.

"Mayor."

"Minister."

Song Zhihong saw Li Yu and his immediate superior Bai Jie and spoke quickly.

"You took a helicopter to study the clouds. What results did you get?" Li Yu asked what he wanted to ask without any prelude.

Song Zhihong was stunned and said in surprise:

"We were just studying in the laboratory and were still discussing this matter in the conference room."

"We conducted sampling research at different altitudes, 1000 meters, 4000 meters, and 6000 meters."

"Generally speaking, the height of the middle cloud is between 2000-8000 meters, and it is composed of a mixture of tiny water droplets, ice crystals or snow crystals, which can produce continuous precipitation. The height of the low cloud is below 2000 meters, composed of tiny water droplets, and usually produces thunderstorms."

"But!"

Song Zhihong changed the subject and frowned and said:

"After sampling and close observation, we found that the mass of water droplets in the clouds has become lighter!"

"This is unreasonable and too unusual!"

"Then we conducted research based on the water droplets sampled from the clouds and found that these water droplets contain a lot of DI elements, far exceeding the DI elements in the current natural water sources."

Li Yu knew this DI element, which was discovered and proposed by Madi.

This element is exactly what is contained in the meteorite from outer space, and it is the core trace element he uses to make anti-cancer needles.

At the same time, this trace element is also the key to making zombie attracting potions.

Before the end of the world, there were a total of 118 known elements, and there were two unknown elements discovered, 119 and 120.

DI is the 121st unknown element discovered after the end of the world.

The characteristics and functions of this element are still under study.

Li Yu still remembers that Madi once told him about this element a long time ago.

It was mentioned that this element is radioactive, but this trace amount of substance will not affect the human body.

Li Yu asked:

"So, what you mean is that the reason for not raining is because this DI element is too much in the water droplets in the clouds, and a large amount of this element causes the weight of the water droplets to decrease, resulting in no rainfall?"

"Yes, that's roughly what I mean." Song Zhihong thought about it and nodded.
