[My wife is on a business trip. She has to take care of the child at night. She needs to sleep early. There is only one night watch today.]
There was no such thing as a paradise in eternity.
Icebergs appeared above the sea and turned into huge glaciers. They didn't melt all year round, and the accumulated snow was like a mountain. One could even see a large number of marine creatures frozen in the ice. They didn't even have time to react when they were frozen. They tried to escape, but they still couldn't avoid being frozen in the ice. The scene was vivid and lifelike.
In many domains, there were parts that were covered in ice and snow, while there were parts that were scorching hot and dry. Being in the middle of these two disasters, it was truly a world of ice and fire. It was like living in hell, unspeakably miserable. Even cultivators could not withstand it, let alone ordinary living beings.
At this moment, in the Da Yi Dynasty, Xuanhuang Castle.
It was a vast expanse of whiteness both inside and outside the city.
Layers upon layers of thick snow covered everything. All the colors seemed to have turned white. Long icicles could be seen hanging under the eaves, twinkling like crystal glass. It looked like a different kind of scenery.
A child plucked a few of them and put them in his mouth. The icicles tasted sweet.
The weather was extremely cold.
A large number of constables from Six Doors were sweeping the snow on the streets. Although the Raging Flame Technique could melt the snow, the temperature was too low. Even the Raging Flame Technique couldn't melt the snow easily. On the contrary, as soon as the snow melted, it would turn into ice in the next breath. It was even more difficult to clear it when it landed on the ground. It was better to clean it by hand.
But clearing the snow wasn't done by hand. Snow shovelers could be seen roaming the streets, pushing the snow away and carrying it out.
The snow shovelers were mechanical artifacts specially developed by the Heavenly Construct Pavilion to clear the snow. They were evolved from goblin war chariots and didn't require much combat power. They only needed to install a shovel and a trailer in front to clear the snow and carry it out. They were transported outside the city and piled up.
The snow that had been cleared could be seen piling up into several huge snowy mountains outside the city.
The citizens in the city also helped to clear the snow.
Many people cultivated desperately, seizing every minute to improve their strength as much as possible.
Now, in a restaurant.
The restaurant was filled with guests. They were all citizens of the city.
Many people were speechless as they watched the heavy snow that continued to fall.
"Sigh, if the snow continues to fall like this, it'll be too late. When is it going to end? It's already been a month. The interval between each time was no more than four hours. If it wasn't for the continuous clearing of the snow, our Xuanhuang Castle would have been buried by the snow. "
An old man poured the entire bottle of Hero's Blood into his mouth. As the strong alcohol entered his body, it instantly stimulated his blood to flow faster and boil. The cold energy in his body was dispelled.
In this kind of snowy situation, a strong wine like the Hero's Blood was the favorite of many cultivators. It could resist the cold and allow the blood that had been invaded by the cold to boil again.
"Yeah, this is a snow disaster, a real snow disaster. Our Da Yi Dynasty is still fine. It's said that in other places, there's already a food shortage. It's not easy to eat hot food. Every day, a large number of lives freeze or starve to death in the snow. If this kind of snow disaster continues, who knows what will happen. "
A bounty hunter sighed.
In the Da Yi Dynasty, the imperial court had long prepared for this. They had a huge reserve of resources, which could be described as carts and mountains. Moreover, the territory was peaceful, so the citizens could cultivate wastelands and plant crops, even spiritual grains. Ordinary crops had a short ripening period. They could fully ripen in a very short time, and the harvest was huge. The yield per mu was very high.
With the intention to accumulate, they had long stored an immeasurable amount of resources.
Therefore, although they had to supply food to the more than two hundred million people in the Da Yi Dynasty, they did not show any signs of strain. On the contrary, the amount they consumed was not even a drop in the ocean.
If they only had two hundred million people in the Da Yi Dynasty, the resources they had prepared would be enough for the Da Yi Dynasty to eat for more than twenty years without doing anything.
Moreover, they did not really have a lack of resources.
As far as Yi Tianxing was concerned, after discovering the natural disaster, he did not hesitate to mark out a large area in Hongmeng Tiandi Pagoda to plant all kinds of food crops. The pagoda would not be affected by the cataclysm in the outside world, and the rate of growth would not be any slower than in the Eternal Continent. It could be said that as long as they wanted to, they could supply food resources continuously to the entire Da Yi Dynasty.
This was a testament to the powerful resources of the Da Yi Dynasty.
However, other places had begun to show signs of resource exhaustion.
The winter snow disaster was the time when all things withered. Food was hard to find in the first place. First, there was a huge earthquake, which damaged countless resources and killed countless ferocious beasts. Now, a portion of those who survived had fallen in the snow disaster. Those who survived had hidden themselves even deeper. It was not easy to go out and hunt.
After all, the warriors of the various races were hungry, and so were the ferocious beasts and birds. Hunger naturally made them more ferocious, many times more ferocious than they had been in the past. This was a battle for survival. No one could afford to not fight with their lives on the line.
"It is said that the head of the Agriculture Family in the Imperishable Academy has begun to develop rice seeds that can survive and grow in the harsh winter air. There seems to be some progress. Once the research is done, even in the heavy snow, we will still be able to grow food. "
Someone suddenly said.
"Yes, the head of the Song Family is an expert in the Agriculture Family. He has developed Snow Pear Rice and Ice Heart Rice. It is said that Ice Heart Rice is extremely adaptable to the harsh cold environment and is not affected at all. Moreover, when it grows, it can absorb the cold air around it. It will speed up its growth. However, this is spirit rice. It needs to be planted on the spirit field to germinate and grow quickly. Otherwise, it will grow too slowly on ordinary soil. Currently, only a small area has been planted. "
Someone added.
Many people had seen this with their own eyes. In the spirit field outside Xuanhuang Castle, there was a field of spirit rice planted. In the sky above this field, the falling snow would be absorbed by the spirit rice and disappear without a trace.
Therefore, in that area, not only was there no snow, but even the temperature seemed to be lower than other places. Yes, it was low temperature. However, this kind of cold air was very gentle and would not cause too much damage to the human body.
Although the original Snow Pear Rice was also very resistant to the cold, it could not be like the Ice Heart Rice, which directly absorbed snow and turned it into nutrients. When it grew, it would be crushed and broken by the heavy snow. It could not grow and was too brittle. It could only be said that the Snow Pear Rice could only be considered a type of rice with half spirit energy.
And what Song Yingxing was doing recently was to improve on the foundation of the Snow Pear Rice. He wanted to make the stalk of the Snow Pear Rice stronger so that it could withstand the attack of the heavy snow and the ravaging of the wind. It could survive and even thrive in the harsh environment. That was the most important thing.
Because he was improving on the foundation of the Snow Pear Rice, Song Yingxing was almost done. It seemed that he could succeed at any time. Once he succeeded, the Da Yi Dynasty would naturally not have to worry about the impact of the snow disaster. At least, there would not be any shortage of food. In fact, to a certain extent, it could even control the spread and expansion of the cold air.
Dang! Dang!
Dang! The people in the city were discussing the impermanence of the disaster.
At this time, a crisp jade bell rang in the void.
Countless people looked up at the palace with eyes full of admiration. They knew that this was the bell for the Da Yi Dynasty to convene the court meeting.
Once the bell rang, naturally, all the officials in the court had to go.
.....
In the Skyward Palace.
As the bell rang, the important officials arrived one by one. They stood on both sides according to their ranks.
"The King has arrived!"
As a eunuch eunuch shouted sharply, Yi Tianxing slowly appeared in the Skyward Palace and sat on the throne.
"May the King live forever!!"
In the palace, there was a wave of shouting and respectful greetings.
"No need for formalities. My beloved officials, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the greetings, Yi Tianxing did not hesitate. He looked at He Shen who was standing in the palace and said, "He Shen, explain the matter here. Let everyone discuss and see how to deal with it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
When He Shen heard this, his beady eyes blinked rapidly. He stepped forward and came to the center of the palace. He said respectfully, "This humble official has been in charge of the unnamed city in the underground market, trading with the Mutated Tribes. We exchange what we need. Recently, because of the Great Cataclysm, the Mutated Tribes frequently enter and exit the market. Moreover, they directly came to He Shen and proposed to keep the market open for a long time. It would be best if the interval between visits could be shortened. They also want to trade all kinds of food and resources. They hope to obtain all kinds of resources from the Da Yi Dynasty. Many human villages and towns outside of the Da Yi Territory have even sent envoys here to buy all kinds of food and resources. "
He Shen quickly explained the matter.
It was not that complicated.
It was all because of the arrival of the Great Cataclysm that the entire Eternal Continent had suffered a terrible disaster. Over the past month, various degrees of shortage of resources had begun to appear. Although it was not to the extent of starvation, resources had begun to dry up.
Naturally, the Da Yi Dynasty, which seemed to be at ease during the Great Cataclysm, was a huge exception. Not only were they abundant in resources, but they also suffered the least losses during the Great Cataclysm.
Without a doubt, when faced with the situation of the depletion of resources, the first thing they thought of was the Da Yi Dynasty.
They wanted to obtain sufficient resources from the Da Yi Dynasty to tide over the Great Cataclysm.
