Chapter 49
Professor Huang continued: "Everyone knows the value of the boat ticket. In addition to your own relatives, I hope you can choose young people who can give birth to children as much as possible and have enough work skills. After getting on the boat, we will form a normal human society and try to restart civilization."
"You must know that if you leave the mainland, the total amount of material resources will be reduced sharply. No matter how well prepared it is, it is not enough, and various social welfare cannot be like this now. If you do not have enough work skills, you may starve to death, unless you are willing to support them for the rest of your life."
Lu Yiming nodded, this was understandable.
The mobile phone vibrated slightly, and the institute sent a notice. Lu Yiming's heart moved. As a reward for picking up the notebook, he now had two more, with a total of 4 boat tickets. If the investigation mission went smoothly, he would have five boat tickets... There were 10 family places in total.
Each family of three calculates a total of 30 rescue places!
"In addition to my own family of three, I will include my sister-in-law's family, with a total of 6 people... My sister-in-law's family is quite close. In the end, there are 8 family places left, who will be assigned to?"
Thanks to the family planning policy, Lu Yiming does not have many relatives and does not have heavy burdens. His parents have had late births and have retired now and have not had another previous generation.
On the contrary, people with many relatives and friends and not enough boat tickets showed a hesitant look on their faces. This kind of thing that decides who lives and who dies is really too embarrassing. If you really want to save people, no matter how many places you have on hand, it will not be enough.
"Professor Huang, there is a question." Lu Yiming suddenly asked: "Does humans in parallel worlds have the same technological level as us? Do they also have prophets, why do they know the existence of Yanghe?"
"Your question is very good." Professor Huang said with a smile: "According to the data available, the civilization behind the notebook has a lower technological strength than ours. The higher the level of technology, the more super disasters that break out tend to be materialistic disasters..."
"This sentence sounds very confusing, but it is very simple to explain. In the underdeveloped world of technology, the theory of gods and ghosts is particularly serious, so the supernatural disasters tend toward gods and ghosts, and all kinds of terrifying supernatural phenomena have appeared."
"On the contrary, in a world with a developed technology, the materialism is solid, and the outbreak of supernatural disasters tend to be upgraded versions of natural disasters. Things like earthquakes, volcanoes, meteorites that can be explained barely, and the degree of horror may be lower."
"Of course, technology and belief are not completely conflicting. For example, in Western regions, science and technology are developed and religious beliefs are also very prosperous."
"But the final result is similar, that is... the destruction of the world."
Speaking of this, Professor Huang found the photo of the sailing boat: "But I'm very curious that the level of technology is equivalent to the parallel world in ancient my country. What will happen if we encounter terrifying disasters... We are industrial countries with a complete industrial chain, and we have barely enough technology to build super-large refuges."
"They can only build sailboats with wood, and the population that can survive may be even smaller, right?"
"I even suspect that they can use some supernatural powers!"
...
As time passed quickly as this discussion sounded, Lu Yiming closed his eyes and glanced for a moment.
At three o'clock in the morning, the high-speed destroyer arrived at his destination.
Under the illumination of large searchlights, a wonderful dividing line can be vaguely seen in the sea, and the sea water changes its color on the other side of the dividing line. Yanghe is milky white during the day, and a faint blue at night.
This destroyer naturally did not dare to actually enter the Yang River, so he stopped about one kilometer away from the seawater dividing line.
Through the telescope, you can see that a broken brown-red wooden sailboat is at the other end of the seawater dividing line.
Under the cold moonlight, a faint white mist appeared on the sea surface, and the entire sailboat looked faintly visible.
"Action-start!"
Several whistling drones were the first to rise from the deck and head to the sailboat for investigation.
The performance of this military drone is not comparable to that of folk toys. The drone even carries some small reconnaissance robots. These robots tie several ropes to a suitable focus point, and then the destroyer's propeller started, trying to pull the sailboat out of the Yang River.
"Yanghe" means the entrance to the parallel world. Humans do not know much about it. It is too dangerous to rashly send a large number of staff to investigate.
In the past, there were cases of mysterious disappearances of people, which were suspected to have entered a parallel world. Therefore, pulling out the sailboat to investigate is a better choice.
This 10,000-ton destroyer is naturally not difficult to pull out a sailboat with a displacement of 1,000 tons, even though this sailboat was already the top-notch big ship in ancient times.
Lu Yiming leaned his ears and felt the vibration of the propeller.
The first time he participated in such a big event made him excited and nervous.
He vaguely heard the sound of the waves slashing at the sailboat and the wood torn apart.
Crack-Crack-Crack-
This sound is not very comfortable.
In order to prevent damage to the broken sailing structure, the process of slowly pulling it out lasted for a total of two hours.
Just as everyone was mentally prepared to try to board the sailboat for exploration, the sky suddenly shone and a bright flare illuminated the surroundings.
At the distant sea level, a small black dot appeared.
But it was the appearance of this black dot that made all the soldiers on the deck alert.
"It's the warship of the Eagle Country." The team leader beside Lu Yiming said with a frown.
"Hey, it took too much time to pull out this sailboat, so they rushed over."
"Things are bad now!"
Only another big country on the planet, the Eagle Kingdom, can reach this high sea at such a fast speed.
The relationship between the two sides is not friendly. If it were not for a world-class disaster that was about to break out, it would be possible for both sides to break out in war according to the original world line.
"Can't we cooperate and explore together?" Lu Yiming asked, "If it's just some information, there's nothing to cooperate and share."
Professor Huang said in a plate: "Hehe, Xiao Lu, you want to be beautiful. Any information about S-class disasters is a precious resource that can be used to exchange interests. Do you know, what is the biggest benefit at present? A well-built super-wheel, whether it is a 100,000-ton tanker, or a million-ton or ten million-ton super shelter, has great value."
"If you have enough information in your hand, it is not impossible to directly exchange a super ship. Do you know how much profit the information in your notebook has exchanged? Technology, we have the technology that has been blocked in the past."
"The people of Eagle have always been domineering in their work, but in fact they are not fully prepared for this disaster. If it weren't for the mutual nuclear deterrence, they would have come to rob our ship long ago... Now, facing a sailboat in parallel world, would they really give up?"
