The world enters the age of myth

On the way to the Internet cafe, Lu Yiming saw some aunts and uncles queuing up in front of the community warehouse to receive consumer coupons.

Everyone is full of enthusiasm for this new holiday.

"Captain Lu, are you here to buy something too?"

"Oh, haha, I was just passing by...Hello!" Lu Yiming quickly greeted them.

Using these consumption coupons, you can purchase beef, chicken, pork, and some previously reserved canned lunch meat, ham, spicy sauce, and other foods reserved by the government at a very low price.

Although it has been frozen in the freezer for a whole year, the taste of these foods is not bad. The meat in frozen conditions can still be eaten even if it is stored for decades.

In order to ensure fresh air in the shelter, most families do not have kitchens, so people can only cook in the community kitchen on the deck.

Versatile housewives gave full play to their wisdom in life. They marinated the meat, or brine it, or used pickles, prunes, etc., so that the meat could be preserved for a longer period of time.

Even Lu Yiming's old mother happily prepared a large pot of pork with prunes. In theory, a family of three could eat it for half a month.

But Lu Yiming, who is still growing, finished eating in three to five days. He felt really like a pig, the kind that couldn't be fed no matter what...

The only fly in the ointment is that the meat currently being distributed is from previous reserves, rather than the extra production capacity, which is unsustainable. If the Unkai's production capacity cannot be increased, no matter how large the quantity of meat is, it will be used up one day...

This is another very troublesome thing. The Yunhai government has really tried its best and tried every means, but it can only do what it is now.

It is too difficult to continue to increase the production of meat. More land is needed, such as synthetic meat culture, mealworm breeding, animal breeding farms, etc. The production capacity has been maximized, and it cannot be done faster even if we want to. . There are even professional groups raising and fishing around the Unkai, but they still cannot satisfy everyone's meat needs...

In the past world, a very large-scale pig farm covered an area of ​​several square kilometers and could raise millions of pigs. There are several million heads, dozens of times more than the total population of the entire Yunhaihao!

But now, if we don’t have enough land, we won’t have this ability. It’s impossible to use all the land on the Unkai to raise pigs, right? Even the cruise ship has been transformed into a farm, but the output is still not enough. The size of the Unkai is limited. No matter how you think of it, insufficient size is the key... you can't keep pigs in the water.

"Well, it would be great if we could fish on a large scale. A large whale weighs dozens of tons, which can effectively alleviate the problem of insufficient protein production capacity. However, it is not safe to go fishing."

At this moment, Ding Yuan was sitting on the top floor of the Central Building, leisurely looking at the beautiful scenery.

In the boundless ocean, the scenery is almost unchanged.

Unkai is the only piece of land in the ocean and has become an important habitat for seabirds. These birds are very alert and never come close to the white clouds.

Under normal circumstances, people do not hunt these poor birds, they just let them live there, and even find ways to tame some seabirds for use in the fishing industry.

The sun has been hanging in the west for almost a year, and it has finally moved to the horizon. I don’t know when it will set...

"Night is the real test."

In order to deal with the problem of plants being unable to grow after the sun goes down, scientists have prepared some artificial light sources and equipped special thermal power stations. The wood cut down in the White Mist Continent is enough to generate electricity.

Even if there is no sunlight, these artificial lights can still support plant growth.

"It would be nice if there was a bigger ship..." Ding Yuan took a sip of coffee and quickly shook his head, feeling that he was wishful thinking...

The Unkai is already very large, and with human technological strength, it is really difficult to build a larger ship.

Looking down at the entire refuge from the top of the central building, with lush plants and people coming and going, I feel a great sense of accomplishment, as if all the hard work in the past has been worth it.

Ding Yuan recalled the prophet "Zero" at the headquarters, and also recalled his colleagues in other shelters, feeling a little nostalgic for some reason.

He didn't know how these compatriots were surviving, whether they were still alive, or whether there would be a chance to meet again in the future.

Thinking of this, I sighed again...

…

Happy time is always short, and the five-day long vacation passes quickly.

After relaxing, all the work was on track again. Going to work, going to work, researching the research, the transport ship continued to move towards the distance, extracting the white mist and extracting a new round of X elements.

There is even a small group of experts who have proposed that they can go deep into that continent again and capture some monster specimens for experimental research. After absorbing a large amount of white mist, many mutated species were produced, which also led to new scientific research projects.

For example, the acid spitted out by the eyeball monster is very easy to use and is widely used for industrial production relief. It can replace hydrochloric acid and nitric acid in many scenarios.

Since biotechnology has taken a huge step forward, organ cloning has become a real possibility, and biologists are trying to find ways to clone the eyeball monster's glands to mass-produce this acid.

Another example is the core of the scorpion monster, which is a very efficient energy substance!

The core of the monster can be used to make batteries, and stable discharge for a hundred years is not a problem. This is comparable to the most advanced radioisotope battery in mankind, and is even more advanced because it can be made very small, stable, efficient, and easy to store. Relatively speaking, radioisotope batteries are larger in size and are not as safe as core batteries.

If tens of thousands of core batteries can be obtained and connected in series, it will be equivalent to doubling the available energy of the Unkai!

But before these bold plans could be implemented, several superpowered investigators who returned from an outing reported a horrifying news, which forced the top management of the Unkai to make a choice as soon as possible——

Leave this continent!

"Everyone! This is not alarmist!"

"I think it's time for us to leave this continent."

"According to the report of the outgoing scouts, a creature the size of a mountain appeared near the coastline! Since the surrounding white fog has been almost completely wiped out by us, the air visibility has been greatly improved, and it has a high probability of discovering us."

Ding Yuan swallowed and looked a little serious: "The height of this super life form is at least three hundred meters, and its mass may be tens of thousands of tons, or even hundreds of thousands of tons! If according to Baiwu Civilization, this super life form , named 'Xu'!"

"It has long tentacles on its head. Its attack range can reach 10 kilometers around it. Its sensing ability is very sharp. If it gets any closer, it will directly detect our transport ship."

"So the transport ship that extracted the x element has temporarily stopped its activities."

"According to the assessment of the security team, only a large-yield nuclear bomb or even a hydrogen bomb can quickly kill it... However, we do not have a hydrogen bomb in the Unkai."

"Mr. Ding, although there is no hydrogen bomb, we can make one temporarily." The speaker was a well-known nuclear expert: "Hydrogen bombs are ignited by atomic bombs. We have scientific and technological information in this area. There are many skilled craftsmen in the shelter. There is no problem in using deuterium elements to create a deuterium bomb within a month or two months."

The vast majority of hydrogen bombs are made of tritium, but some of Xia's hydrogen bombs can be replaced by deuterium. Tritium is extremely expensive, and only nuclear power plants produce it in small quantities. The source of deuterium is very wide, and can be obtained from water. It can be extracted in large quantities and is relatively stable.

The shelter happens to contain classified information on the production of hydrogen bombs.

Coupled with the development over the past year and some garbage picked up from the White Mist Continent, the industrial capacity within the Unkai has been greatly improved, making it possible to manufacture hydrogen bombs...

But no matter what, the detonation of a hydrogen bomb requires an atomic bomb, and eventually an atomic bomb must be used.

The atomic bomb requires one less element and requires a large amount of uranium and large centrifuges. It is impossible for the Unkai to have these things, and it cannot find uranium ore.

"Okay... But I feel that even if we kill this super being with a hydrogen bomb, it doesn't mean much... Why bother?"

Lu Yiming frowned and looked at the investigation information on hand.

Military drones used for reconnaissance use a high-definition electric zoom lens that uses optical compensation and mechanical compensation to ensure that all available light is accurately focused on the imaging surface. In this way, this type of lens can penetrate the hazy white fog to a certain extent.

Shooting at an altitude of five thousand meters, you can see a mountain-like life form foraging for food on this continent. "Boom, boom, boom", every step it takes will cause huge vibrations on the ground.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past, and a soft "pop" sound was heard. The high-altitude reconnaissance drone was shot down, as if a mosquito was crushed to death.

Lu Yiming took a deep breath, "This thing... is a bit powerful."

"The legendary Godzilla is nothing more than this, right?"

He actually felt a little sorry for that military drone.

In addition to Li Yao, the current investigation team has also added 6 new members. They have all been enhanced and their eyesight and hearing are far beyond that of ordinary people.

Under this circumstance, the manpower in the reconnaissance team was much more abundant than before. The information given by the investigation team is very detailed. They generally believe that a powerful life form like Godzilla has a probability of discovering the Unkai.
