Chapter 1282 A Difficult Choice Between the Future and the Present!

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong!"

"This disaster has only been over for half a month, how come the next disaster is coming again!"

The sudden reminder on the game panel was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, completely interrupting Su Mo's interest in continuing to watch the first voyage.

Perhaps because the recent disasters did not cause much impact, and the Wanjing Race delayed the arrival of many disasters, players' perception of the threat of natural disasters has become weaker and weaker.

However, in the previous game processes, natural disasters have always been a heavy topic, and the frequency of their arrival has remained stable at about half a month.

That is, after each disaster ends, a new round of 15-day timing will begin.

After the 15-day repair period is over, the next 7 days will be the announcement period for the next disaster.

After the announcement period ends, the next round of disaster process will begin immediately.

Such an exaggerated frequency of disasters means that in the 365 days of a year, players need to face at least 10-14 natural disaster tests on average.

But if the frequency of wasteland disasters is based on the current frequency, there will be at most 6-8 times a year, which is half the rate.

"The frequency of disasters has been restored, and the time is just stuck in the stage of spring plowing and trade navigation. It's really unlucky."

"It would be better if I could come half a month later!"

Get on the energy car for the return trip.

Su Mo swung his arm and touched the pouch-shaped storage module on his waist, and took out the palm-sized world tripod from it.

It is true that the world is like a tripod, and all living things are like firewood!

The current situation seems calm, but a disaster with a wider impact may destroy everything.

With a heavy heart, Su Mo touched the top of the tripod, and his sight suddenly began to deviate.

The world that was originally clear in his vision quickly lost its color like an old silent film. All the scenes melted and faded before his eyes, and finally turned into a bottomless darkness.

In an instant, this darkness seemed to swallow up all the light and hope, turning them into nothingness.

Only a few faint flames in the center burned tenaciously, like ancient stars, bringing a ray of hope to this chaotic darkness.

The blurred and dizzy feeling gradually subsided as the consciousness was transferred, and Su Mo's vision became clear again.

It was still the familiar boundless dark space, and it was still the extremely familiar huge sand table in the center.

Su Mo suppressed his uneasiness and tried to calm down a little bit of anxiety. He walked to the sand table and wiped it with his hand.

A layer of light curtain immediately appeared on the sand table. The "disaster authority" function on it was no longer the black and gray appearance after it was used before. Now it became shiny and glowed, and there was an additional (1) mark in the upper right corner.

Concentrate your mind and click lightly.

The familiar disaster selection box popped up, showing the three disasters that can be selected in the new period.

[Disaster Code]: Three Cold Springs (Predetermined Disaster)

[Disaster Difficulty]: Green (White, Green, Blue, Red, Crimson, Purple, Black)

[Classification]: Celestial Phenomenon; Time Type

[Disaster Duration]: 15 days

[Disaster Description]: As spring approaches, everything revives, and life regains its vitality, a special celestial disaster will rapidly reduce the temperature to a low temperature range, returning to the cold winter level.

[Disaster Details]:

One round every five days, with a 15℃ drop each time.

The temperature drop will be superimposed, that is, if the current temperature is 18℃, the first drop will be to 3℃ (maintained for 5 days), the second drop will be to -12℃ (maintained for 5 days), and the third drop will be to -27℃ (maintained for 5 days).

[Disaster Code]: Bulimia (Alternative Disaster)

[Disaster Difficulty]: Green

[Classification]: Special Type; Time Type; Neutral Type

[Disaster Duration]: 30 days

[Disaster Description]: A mysterious monsoon will blow across the New World, bringing lasting changes to the creatures that come into contact with it. The digestive capacity of the affected organisms will increase several times in a short period of time, and the metabolic capacity will also increase to several times the original level.

[Disaster Details]:

Every 10 days, the digestive capacity of organisms will double.

The highest amplitude: 3 times.

[Disaster Code]: Magnetic Phosphoresis Storm (alternative disaster)

[Disaster Difficulty]: Blue

[Affiliation]: Celestial Phenomenon Type; Frequency Type

[Disaster Frequency]: Once

[Disaster Description]: The special magnetic phoresis storm will sweep across the wasteland in a short period of time, bringing a large-scale interference effect, especially the equipment driven by electronic signals, which will be directly impacted and damaged.

[Disaster Details]:

Destruction Intensity: E≥75

Destruction Frequency: 1 time

Fuck!

Su Mo really hopes that he can have a big heart, at least he can stay calm enough when facing this damn three-choice disaster.

But the fact is that from beginning to end, he can't stay calm at all.

This time, the three-choice disaster is not like the last punishment disaster, and there is a disaster that is not so serious for humans.

No matter which one is chosen now, the impact is fatal enough.

First is the established disaster ‘Three Late Spring Cold’.

When Su Mo saw the name of this thing, he was disgusted and couldn’t help cursing.

Damn, targeting, right?

Right now is the hottest stage of spring plowing, and more than 90% of the territories have opened up arable land and planted seeds.

If the temperature suddenly drops to minus 27 degrees, I dare not imagine what kind of terrible harm it will bring.

Perhaps most of the seeds were frozen to death in the soil and could not germinate.

"If the spring plowing fails, what good will the autumn harvest be."

"Without enough food supplies, I don't know how many people will die in winter."

The seeds planted now are all the food that the survivors saved from their mouths.

If there is a disaster, all efforts will be in vain.

Under the huge blow, the New World will inevitably set off a wave of war to reduce the huge material pressure.

Gluttony, one of the alternative disasters, happens to be the opposite of the three cold springs.

If the "three cold springs" are a severe test for the future reserves of the material depots of the major territories, then "bulimia" is a direct challenge to the current material reserves.

The several-fold increase in digestion capacity and metabolism is undoubtedly a double-edged sword.

If all the territories are particularly abundant in materials, Su Mo will definitely choose this without hesitation.

Because in this case, the enhanced digestion and metabolism will enable the survivors to consume and replenish energy faster, thereby quickly making up for the physical deficit during the time of crossing to the new continent.

However, reality is often cruel, and the current material reserves obviously cannot support the doubling of the survivors' food intake.

Especially every time the digestive capacity doubles, the human demand for food is not a simple multiple linear relationship increase.

When the digestive and metabolic capacity doubles, the food demand will increase to about 7 times the original.

But when it doubles again, this number will immediately increase to a terrifying 15 times!

As for the three-fold, there is no exact data support, but the consumption will definitely not be less than 12 times.

Imagine that the daily rice consumption of an adult originally required about 300g, and now it has directly increased to a minimum of 6 kilograms.

For a super territory with a population of more than 10 million or nearly 100 million, this is simply an unimaginable devastating blow.

Moreover, even if there are so many materials, just transporting and distributing them to everyone is a big problem that cannot be solved at present.

As for the third item, the magnetic phoresis storm, Su Mo directly excluded it from the selection after just one glance.

Even if we ignore the fact that the first two disasters are green, the Magnetic Phosphoresis Storm is blue.

What is the concept of E≥75?

This thing is basically equivalent to the electromagnetic pulse caused by a two-million-equivalent nuclear bomb detonated near the ground.

As for the various types of equipment in the major territories that have not considered shielding protection at all, I am afraid that they will all be burned at the first moment of the Magnetic Phosphoresis Storm.

Choose to sacrifice all the development of super territories and large territories in the past six months to fulfill other small and medium-sized territories in the wasteland?

Su Mo believes that he can't make such a brainless choice.

If the alien race takes advantage of this juncture to launch an attack, the threat it causes may be much greater than the previous two disasters.

And you have to know that this disaster is just an ordinary conventional disaster.

If you avoid it for the sake of avoidance, the pace of human development will always remain the same or even regress.

Then when the next major disaster comes, Su Mo really dare not think about what the result will be.

"I was still talking to Qiao Yuansheng this morning about sacrificing the interests of a group of people to preserve the interests of the majority."

"I didn't expect that at noon, the game would force me to choose."

Su Mo sighed, his eyes wandering back and forth between the three cold snaps and bulimia.

It is indeed a difficult decision to make.

Reason forced Su Mo to choose bulimia in order to preserve the human layout that has lasted for nearly a year.

Even if it will cause chaos in a short period of time, even if many people will go to extremes in this process.

As long as they can hold on until the autumn harvest, all problems will be solved.

But reality forced Su Mo to not make such a decision, and he could not gamble on the specific harm of the disaster.

"Twenty-seven degrees below zero, five days"

Su Mo thought secretly.

The disaster is predicted for seven days, and it will take ten days for the temperature to drop to twenty-seven degrees below zero.

If humans can prepare in advance before that, perhaps the harm will not be as deadly as imagined.

Of course, this is only relative.

Close to thirty degrees below zero, even if you think with your butt, you know how serious the impact will be.

"Damn, if there are 10,000, it would be better to have 100,000 starch making machines!"

Compared to the complex modular technology, the starch making machine is not a black technology product.

With the reference of the few machines brought by the Red Spider Caravan, the territory has even completely analyzed the internal technology.

However, knowing the technology is one thing, and being able to copy it is another.

The most important layer of dialysis in the starch machine has almost touched the peak of Blue Star's manufacturing industry.

The cutting-edge industry is often so plain and unpretentious. Without a solid foundation, people can only sigh in despair.

And this is also the reason why the three major forces of the academy, the foundation, and the enterprise have never added a technical blockade to the starch making machine.

They are fully confident that if there is a breakthrough in the industry of a large force that can solve the crucial dialysis membrane, then this force will largely disdain to produce such a small thing to make money.

After all, the calendar life of a starch machine can reach about 40 years, and it is not a problem to use it for a century with good maintenance.

Even if the technology is really broken through, where is there so much market for you to recover the R&D cost?

Shaking his head to clear these random thoughts from his mind, Su Mo chose to disperse his attention and stare at the endless black space slowly fading away.

There are still about 11 hours before the end of the selected disaster, so there is no rush for the time being.

Taking advantage of this time, he needs to ask two questions as soon as possible.

First, find experts in the territory's agriculture to confirm how serious the damage of low temperature to spring plowing is.

If the harm caused by minus 27 degrees will reduce the yield of autumn harvest to an unacceptable level.

Then we must carefully consider whether to replace the disaster and save the hope of autumn harvest.

Second, find the college's biological expert Katarina to conduct research and evaluate the specific effect of tripling the metabolic rate as quickly as possible.

Then communicate information with the three super territories through the code language of the world channel.

If the materials of the three territories can support the impact of bulimia, then replacing the disaster is undoubtedly the best choice.

But if the gap is huge, this item must be ruled out.

Otherwise, if these tall people fall, the chain reaction they will bring will inevitably plunge the New World into complete chaos.

"Hurry up the schedule, I need the answer within six hours!"

Through the remote communicator on the energy car, the task was distributed smoothly.

Su Mo didn't have to wait for too long. About three hours later, Katarina got the first message.

"One metabolism is about 47 times the resource consumption."

In the illusory light screen projected by Zero, Katarina was wearing a black sweatshirt with a bear pattern, and her hair was curled into a fashionable wave with a steel clip.

Although she had gained more than two circles of weight due to the influence of the territory's delicacies.

But in terms of her mental state, she was much better than when Su Mo first saw her. She was completely rejuvenated!

"The reason why the number is lower than the normal number is that you people are so weird. Your metabolic capacity has reached a very exaggerated level, and the material consumption is almost three times that of us blue star people. In this case, the metabolic capacity doubled again, but the demand did not increase much."

"But it should be noted that once the metabolic capacity doubles, this number will have an exaggerated increase, probably to about 53 times. Double it again, well, the result calculated according to the data model is 18 times!"

It is much less than the initial expectation.

But at that time, Su Mo did not think of the fact that human metabolic capacity has increased under the influence of the route.

According to the current per capita demand of 750g of rice, three times the material consumption is 8kg.

Damn

This is really a glutton!

One person eats nearly seven kilograms a day, at least thirty-five kilograms in five days.

According to the scale of 30 million people in the Northern Alliance, this is

One million tons!

Eating so much in five days, anyone who sees this number will probably call it outrageous.
