It will take a while before there is really nothing to eat. For example, if the ground is too dry to grow food, and when the supplies on the market are only decreasing but not increasing, then there will be nothing to eat.
At that time, it will depend on when the national carbon dioxide mass production of starch will be available. It should be possible.
In the original world, the research progress on artificial starch was not very good. When earthquakes, plagues, and volcanic eruptions occurred in the later period, it was inconvenient to study. In the end, the progress was not effective, resulting in poor output and people did not eat it. Yes, if a large number of people die, it will be really chaotic.
Now, as long as this thing is done well and people have something to eat, even if they encounter those disasters again, they will be better off if they have something to eat and drink. After all, the most terrible thing is not eating or drinking. of.
Speaking of which, in a drought crisis, as long as there is food, drink, and electricity to turn on the air conditioner to cool down, the comfort level is actually better than in extreme cold weather such as heavy rain or snow, because in the first two cases, you cannot go out. I can only stay at home.
But in this dry weather, you can still go out for a walk. Although it is extremely hot outside, riding a small electric car to the mall in a few minutes is not a big problem, and it will not make you sick in such a short time.
So some social activities can still be maintained, but only if you have money. Otherwise, if you have too little money, you will use it to buy supplies. Who will buy other messy things.
Although most people are a little tight on money, there are still people who have plenty of money, so there are still people shopping in the mall, such as Linlang who often goes out for shopping.
Although Linlang is not the kind of person who likes to play outside, she is also not the kind of person who can stand it and stay at home forever. Sometimes she still has to go out and wander around, but she has been locked at home for the past two years. , I've been suffocated for a long time, so I can come out for a walk now. Linlang will come out for a walk from time to time.
She doesn’t have to worry about whether someone will come into the house and steal her supplies if she wanders around.
It's different now than when there were heavy rains and snowstorms. The police are out of the way, so the security is much better and there's less chaos.
Of course, this is China, and there are many places without food abroad. However, it is much more chaotic than during heavy snowstorms. In some places, it has even entered a battle royale state, where you kill me and I will kill you. Steal supplies from other people or even other countries.
If country Z had not been supported by strong force, there would probably be some people who would be jealous and would kill to grab supplies. After all, many people have seen from the Internet that country Z is doing well now. There must be some jealous people. I think Grabbing supplies.
It is impossible to grab them now. As for smuggling, country Z has an ocean to the east, a desert to the north, and mountains to the west. Well, it is difficult to escape, and the country is already worried about this problem and is tightening the border. Prevention and control, preventing people from smuggling across the border, People from other countries have also joined in to help with prevention and control. After all, if someone comes in and takes away supplies, the supplies for the people of the country will be reduced. We are not stupid, how can we let people from other countries come in and take away our supplies? Naturally, the whole people help prevent and control it.
With the help of the whole people in prevention and control, it will be difficult for foreigners to sneak in and take away the supplies of country Z. At the same time, the safety of country Z is also guaranteed. After all, if a lot of stowaways come in, there will definitely be affect safety issues.
However, some countries in the world are putting pressure on them, saying that country Z still has so much supplies, so why doesn't it help other countries?
There are also threats, which means that if we don’t give us supplies, something will happen to us, but don’t blame us for going crazy.
It means, if you don’t give me supplies, maybe I will attack country Z.
Country Z didn’t pay any attention.
Since we know that it will be the end of the world, Country Z will definitely not give supplies to anyone for free just because of threats. After all, supplies are very tight, so how can we give them to others casually? Those who put pressure cannot Z Country Z has a pretty good air defense system and is not afraid of those who directly threaten them with force, so they can just let them threaten. If these countries really dare to attack Country Z, then don’t blame Country Z for counterattack.
When the time comes, he will not be able to defeat Country Z. If something goes wrong, the surrounding countries may take advantage of his illness and kill him, but it will have nothing to do with Country Z.
Anyway, until Country Z can convert carbon dioxide into starch into mass production, Country Z will not be able to save anyone for the time being. After all, in the future, if Country Z can manage itself, it will be considered good.
According to Linlang's observation, country Z's current artificial starch technology and mass production are already doing well. According to the current output, it can barely feed 10 million people. Obviously, this is still not enough.
So the country is increasing factory construction and wants to increase production capacity.
The mass production method of artificially synthesized starch needs to be improved. Otherwise, according to the current level, too many factories need to be built. The country does not have that much capital to build, and there is no time. Therefore, the production capacity must be greatly increased. With improvements, the current factory can produce a lot of starch.
Not to mention that scientists are working overtime to study how to increase production capacity, but they say that the first batch of artificial starch has already been launched.
There is no way. As time goes by, the supplies on the market are getting less and less. In addition, some netizens have analyzed that some time ago, although everyone planted a crop, almost all of them were on the market. Sold out - snatched up by everyone.
Although each family has not finished all the supplies yet, there are fewer and fewer supplies on the market. Even with purchase restrictions, there will be no supplies left to sell in the future.
As soon as everyone heard this, they wanted to buy supplies even more.
There are too many people hoarding goods, but there is not much increase in supplies, which naturally makes the supplies gradually become less and less.
As supplies become scarcer, everyone becomes more anxious and hoards more goods. This is a vicious cycle.
Just when everyone is anxious and feels that if the drought continues and supplies are gone, they will have to rely on the inventory at home to survive the next few days. If the inventory is used up, how will they live in the future? The country announced that while Digging wells to collect water to grow crops will fill the shortage of supplies in the market. On the other hand, synthetic starch has been successfully mass-produced. When food is insufficient, synthetic starch will be used to fill the gap.
Although synthetic starch is not as delicious as rice flour, it can at least fill your stomach.
As for food safety, officials said that it is converted from carbon dioxide. Simply put, it is converted from air. When people eat synthetic starch, they eat air. There is nothing unsafe. Let everyone eat with confidence.
In fact, what the state did not say is that the mass production capacity of synthetic starch is not very good. It only said that synthetic starch was successful and launched on the market, which attracted people's cheers.
Everyone thought that the country had solved the food problem and no longer had to worry about insufficient food, so they were naturally happy. The gloom that had weighed on everyone before was swept away, and people's mental outlook instantly returned to a few months ago, when the extreme cold Stop, when everyone thought that the end was over, even the number of people hoarding supplies decreased a lot. After all, since food can be synthesized artificially, it means that you don't have to worry about not having enough food in the future, so why are you hoarding it? (End of this chapter)
