The world of shelter under the glacier

"Old Dragon."

The first elder, Long Tianxing, then looked at the second elder, Qin Hao, who had spoken out, and said loudly and categorically: "We are facing a national crisis, and no one can be tolerated as a corpse!"

"Even middle school students know that clouds, fog, rain, snow, and thunder all occur in the troposphere. What about him?"

"Okay, Dean Qian, continue."

After gathering his thoughts, Dean Qian continued: "In view of this situation, our hospital has already provided the following plans to various departments to deal with this major crisis."

"First, because of the tsunami, 14 coastal areas and 500 million people must be completely evacuated and moved inland."

"Secondly, in order for the people of the Dragon Kingdom to survive the long ice age safely, civil air defense projects must be activated and underground shelters built across the country."

Seeing Mr. Qian sitting down, the Director of Transportation stood up and said:

"Considering the possible tsunami in half a year, our ministry has secretly acquired the rights to use private trains and aircraft. Once the large-scale relocation plan is launched, they can immediately go to the front line."

"In just one month, we can transport all these people."

Then the Director of Engineering stood up.

"Since receiving the cabinet order, our ministry has begun mobilizing resources across the country and started building major shelters."

"The first is the three major national-level shelter projects launched in mid-March, namely the Kyoto Underground City, Qindu Underground City, and Shudu Underground City. They can accommodate at least tens of millions of people and are expected to be completed by the end of July."

"Subsequently, the provincial shelter project was launched in mid-April, with a total of 13 shelters, namely..."

"Provincial-level shelters, which can accommodate a population ranging from 5 million to 10 million depending on their geographical location, resources, population, etc., are also gradually being completed in July."

"After that, the municipal shelter project will be launched in May, with the number reaching 390, which can accommodate a population of around one million. The completion time is expected to be early August."

"Finally, based on the first interception, county, town, and village-level shelter projects will be launched as appropriate in June, which will need to absorb a total of 700 million of the country's remaining population."

"In addition, our ministry has issued documents to various local governments, large factories, mines, enterprises, etc., to completely suspend the trading of basic raw materials, such as iron, copper, aluminum...gasoline, etc., and large quantities of raw materials. And they are being gradually recycled and used for the subsequent construction of the shelter.”

"My report is complete."

The Director of Agriculture followed and stood up.

"Report to Commander Long."

"Currently, our country has a standard storage capacity of 400 million tons and a simple warehouse capacity of 200 million tons, for a total of 600 million tons. Based on the consumption of 1 kilogram of grain per person per day, a population of 1.5 billion can only last for 10 months, less than a year."

"The national grain reserve is now under full military control and has been set up as a military blockade, ensuring the security of food in the future."

"Moreover, the purchase of rice, flour, etc. on the market has been restricted to avoid private hoarding."

"Judging from the current global situation, outsourcing is no longer possible and has been completely cut off. In response to the food shortage problem, our department has fully cooperated with the Longke Academy to build large-scale hydroponic growing rooms in underground shelters to ensure that each shelter has food , vegetables can be supplied normally.”

"And considering the extremely bad situation, our ministry is currently cooperating with the Academy of Dragon Science to research new protein sources, which have been initially identified as earthworms, cockroaches, and mice, and are in the process of domesticating them."

"As for vitamins, only mushrooms are suitable for the time being."

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Li from the Academy of Dragon Science stood up tremblingly.

Long Tianxing hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, you'd better sit down and talk."

"No! There are state-owned laws. How can I, the old man, break the rules?"

After taking a breath, he continued with a smile: "Besides, it only takes a few words, and I can still persevere."

"I won't talk about the food. Director Li has already reported it in detail."

"Before that, let me make it clear that I am only half optimistic about the interception plan. Meteorites will still hit Aquamarine, but the power may be much smaller. This is why I still support the interception plan."

"At least let the creatures on our planet Aqua, including us humans, not be extinct all at once."

"So, the ice age is bound to come."

"In response to this, the old man mainly reports two points."

"First, after the meteorite arrives, it will trigger forest fires and even global fires, which will cause the oxygen in the air to drop sharply."

"Therefore, our Dragon Science Institute has found that cyanobacteria are the most cost-effective oxygen production after many discussions. We are currently developing and testing it to ensure the oxygen needs of the shelter."

"Second, the extremely low temperatures during the Ice Age."

"Based on this, we are developing cold-weather clothing. The current goal is to enable humans to survive at polar temperatures of -5°C."

When Mr. Li sat down, the military boss stood up quickly and neatly.

"Report to Commander Long."

"At present, all group armies have been dispatched to borders, important bases, and major cities. Especially coastal areas have entered the second level of combat readiness."

"The military is fully prepared to defend against foreign enemies and resolutely safeguard the integrity of the country's territorial sovereignty."

"My report is complete."

Then the Director of Public Security said:

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief."

"Security officers at all levels have been mobilized and organized to resolutely crack down on lawless elements, maintain the overall stability of the Dragon Kingdom, and safeguard the lives and safety of the people!"

At the end of the meeting, a man in black stood up, attracting everyone's attention.

"Long Jian reports to the commander-in-chief."

He solemnly performed a standard military salute.

"Our temporary special operations office has been ordered by the cabinet to deal with cholera elements in accordance with the law. There are 8,774 people, namely..."

As Long Jian spat out familiar names one by one, everyone in the venue was breaking out in cold sweat, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

The already quiet venue became so silent that you could hear a pin drop.

It's really shocking - this case has so many implications, it is considered the largest case since the founding of the Dragon Kingdom.

The speed of the trial and even the existence of a trial are questionable.

But no one dares to explode, why?

The reason is that the laws of the Dragon Kingdom have given the cabinet a wartime emergency response mechanism.

Commonly known as doing things cheaply.

It stipulates that whenever major disasters such as wars, epidemics, earthquakes, etc. occur, all matters can be voted by the three cabinet members, that is, the three elders, with the minority obeying the majority, directly bypassing the Congress, and deciding all policies of the entire Dragon Kingdom, including Mobilization of the military, arbitrary transfer of supplies across the country, and unconditional recruitment of individuals and institutions...

Of course, it also includes the power to temporarily handle major cases - the power of arrest, trial and execution.

Therefore, facing the cabinet with highly concentrated power at this time, no one from the Dragon Kingdom dared to make any mistakes.

As the meeting came to an end, Commander-in-Chief Long Tianxing stood up and said in a deep voice:

"This case is the first, and I hope it is the last."

"Now, as the commander-in-chief, I issue an order that Dragon Kingdom has officially entered the first level of combat readiness and all military control."
