Dawn Infinity

v15 Chapter 9: Rumor

Founder and Fugui have their own contacts. One is a reporter and the other is a rich second-generation. The contacts between each other are somewhat broad, and the IQs of the two people are not bad. It is definitely impossible to meet people and ask if World War III is about to be done. What's the matter, let's not talk about the impact, it's strange that others don't treat them as mental illness.

So both of them are knocking on the side, just asking for some details they want to know, such as prices, whether the government is doing anything, such as the situation outside the sea, and so on. In short, they are silently collecting some that seems irrelevant. After another three days passed, the two of them avoided everyone with a guilty conscience as if they were thieves, and secretly gathered in the square room.

"...From the data point of view, some warehouses have been vacated, most of them are food warehouses, and there seems to be news that the national central grain warehouse seems to be very busy, and I dare not ask for details..."

Fugui first talked about his findings, and while he was talking, he forcefully photographed the paper recording these data on the desktop, and then the other party seriously said: "This is a sign of war! The country is storing food!"

"I also have some information here."

Fang Zheng did not directly answer the words of wealth and honor, but directly opened his laptop and said: "Some of the scientific researchers I know have disappeared, such as the most famous one. The one I have interviewed is a lifetime academician. I tried I started from this aspect, and then approached him. He was originally intended to use interviews as an excuse, but he was shunned by his unit in every possible way. He said that he was going to conduct exchange meetings in which country, and what experiments he was doing, or that he had private affairs. In short, it was abnormal. Then I contacted another foreign journalist friend of mine. In the name of doing a big scientific interview, I asked for information about several famous scientists in the United States. Then I found that they were also missing. It’s not that they disappeared in these three days, but they disappeared five or six days ago."

"Isn't this going to be a world war!?" Wealthy asked almost like roaring.

Fang Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't think so. Although various signs seem like a world war is about to happen, you have to know, what is fighting now?"

"Money? Economy? National mobilization? Or materials?" Wealthy asked strangely.

"Both." Fang Zheng wiped his glasses, then put them on and said, "But what about oil? If there is no oil, what kind of battles would be fought? Modern warfare machines, whether they are warships or tanks, are the same. Can you stay away from oil? But something happened recently..."

Fugui immediately asked strangely: "What happened?"

"The price of oil has fallen." Fang Zheng said seriously: "It is not only the price reduction of oil in country Z, but also Japan, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and even the whole of Europe. It is strange that neither OPEC nor Russia has any. The reaction may not be clear to you, but I have found a friend who is playing futures and carefully analyzed the oil price list in the last week. He told me that this is very abnormal. Although the price reduction is not large, the continuous downward trend is Obviously, either new energy will be announced soon, or a new oil field comparable to the oil reserves of the Arab region has been discovered suddenly."

"This is impossible!" Fugui said immediately: "I read less, don't lie to me! The distribution of oil on the earth is also regular, although I can't say that there will be no large oil fields similar to the Arab region, but I am discovering There must have been signs before, and there will be signs after they are discovered. It may be like it is now... Wait, wait! Could it be the island in your dream, where the oil field is? Because It’s the high seas, and the storage volume is surprisingly large. That’s why the Third World War was triggered!?"

Fang Zheng shook his head and denied: "That would not reduce the price of oil. Even if such a large oil field is discovered, it has not yet been developed. There is a fixed number of oil production in the world every year, and at least World War III will really happen. , The price of oil will definitely rise, and it will definitely rise by a large margin. Only countries that have obtained this large oil field after the war can reduce the price, and I think even if such a large oil field is discovered, it will be under nuclear deterrence. , And there is no possibility of a third world war. At most it is a proxy war, or a verbal threat and economic threat. Therefore, compared with the third world war, I am more inclined to a possibility..."

"Oh? What is it?" Fugui asked immediately.

"Natural disaster-type end of the world!"

Fang Zheng immediately said: "From what we know so far, this is the most likely situation. The first is food, which is necessary for human beings to survive. Have you played the Fallout series of games? There are also various kinds of games in it. Food, underground bunkers, etc., must also require food, so a large transfer of food is necessary. As for oil, storage requires a large amount of land, and the use efficiency is very low. If it is a peaceful world, it will naturally be used on a large scale, but If it is a natural disaster-type end of the world, the oil will be bad. A shelter like an underground bunker, the best energy source is nuclear power!"

“As for scientists, it’s better to understand that the greatest wealth of mankind is actually the current civilization, science, and knowledge that can be advanced. If there is a natural disaster in the world, then mankind will be able to rule the earth again, and technology will be preserved. If they are intact, they can only rely on these scientists. Therefore, if such an end of the world does happen, scientists are more important than anyone, and it is a matter for governments to transfer them. If this is not done, I would doubt it."

After saying this, both of them fell into silence. They were both thinking carefully about the logic of these words, as well as confronting and comparing their rationality. After a long time, the wealthy said: "Really …It’s very possible, so what kind of natural disaster do you guess? Meteorites? Earth’s magnetic field flips? Or is it something like an acquired one?"

"Maybe." Fang Zheng scratched his forehead, and said with a headache: "There are too few clues, and there are no signs. If the island is considered as a refuge, how big an island can be? Even if it is digging deep. , And at most it is on the bottom of the sea. What if there is an earthquake or something, and the sea water leaks downwards? To be honest, it is better to build shelters in deserts or high mountains. This is also the reason why I am so puzzled. Say, is there anything special there? Or is the natural disaster different from what we imagined?"

The two started to think about it. Suddenly, they slapped their thighs, stood up and said, "Forget it, we can't think of a reason, so... let's go to that island again! "

"Go? How to get there? It's guarded by the navy." Fang Zheng said helplessly.

"It's impossible on the water, what about under the water!?" Fugui smiled slyly, and then said: "Do you remember the set of micro submarine system I bought? It can take two people~lightnovelpub.net~ and it's silent. , Bring an oxygen cylinder, and dive in near the high seas, what do you think of this!?"

"But..." After all, Fang Zheng had to think more. He said with concern: "This is not a movie or a novel. Generally, this kind of place must be heavily guarded on the island. We are likely to be shot as soon as we show up. , I can't die anymore, not to mention..."

"What's more, why are so many doing!" Fugui said loudly: "At this time, there are so many worries. Anyway, things like the day after tomorrow, the end of the world, meteorites, etc., do you think we will be the few lucky ones. I’m not sure, but if we can prepare in advance, according to your contacts and the financial resources of my family, we can have a lot of chances of survival, even if we can’t enter the government’s refuge, but we can go to a desert like that. Ah, places like mountains and things are okay, and the chances of survival are many times greater! In a word, whether to go or not!"

Fang Zheng also had a anger in his heart. It was not aimed at the wealthy, but at the government. He immediately said: "Okay, go and go! Without further ado, set off tonight! You can almost use the diving system in the early hours of tomorrow morning. , Let's go to the island when that time comes!"

In any case... the truth will be revealed!
