Chapter 783 Super Cold Current
Chapter 783 Super Cold Current
When more than a dozen local tyrants picked up the chopsticks and put the dishes on the table into their mouths at the invitation of Brother Liu, their eyes widened. The dishes were so delicious.
Since Brother Liu first traded with Li Moer a few years ago, he fell in love with the various grains, vegetables, beef and mutton that Li Moer sent him.
The things sold by others in the market were completely different from what Li Moer brought. Every time he finished a transaction with Li Moer, he would keep a large quantity for himself and his younger brothers.
He was so used to eating these that he didn't even bother to look at anything outside.
Li Moer opened her eyes early in the morning and saw a thick layer of ice on the window. Her brows furrowed. Beijing was never this cold at this time of year. In October, people would just wear autumn clothes and long underwear at most. This year's climate was obviously abnormal.
Before finishing the meal, the old man Lao Zhang came to find Li Moer and said that there was someone named Xiao An outside the door.
Li Moer put down her chopsticks and walked towards the front yard. Xiao An was drinking tea in the living room.
When he saw Li Moer, he said, "Deputy Director Li, Mr. Wei... Director Wei, please come over."
Li Moer asked Xiao An, "Did you tell me what it was?" Xiao An said, "It seems to be related to the abnormal weather this year."
Li Moer nodded: "You go back first, I'll be there soon." After Xiao An left, Li Moer found a sweater and fleece pants to put on, and then drove to the National Security Department a few days later.
When I entered Old Man Wei’s office, I saw him drinking tea and reading a newspaper.
Li Moer asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?" Old Man Wei gestured for her to sit down and handed her the newspaper: "Take a look at this report."
Li Moer picked up the newspaper and looked at the article that Old Man Wei pointed out. The title of the article was "Super Cold Wave is Coming"
The article wrote that a super cold wave swept across the Northern Hemisphere, causing the temperature to drop by more than ten degrees. The temperature will continue to drop in the next few days, so people should be prepared for the cold.
After Li Moer finished reading, Old Man Wei said, "The temperature in Ice City reached -25 degrees Celsius yesterday. Many people were unprepared. As far as I know, over 40 people have died directly or indirectly due to the sudden drop in temperature."
Li Moer was stunned for a moment: "If it's so serious, what's the point of calling me here?"
Old Man Wei said, "Yesterday, the old leader came to me and told me that due to the national food shortage, most crops are grown in grain. With the sudden drop in temperature, the people have no cotton-padded clothes to keep warm. The supply of cotton is not even one-tenth of what it should be. The old leader wanted to ask you to see if you can plant some cotton in the space to help the people survive this cold snap. If you don't take action, I estimate that at least tens of thousands of people will freeze to death across the country this year."
Li Moer thought for a moment and said, "I can plant it, but I don't have any cotton seeds."
Old man Wei's eyes lit up. The Academy of Agricultural Sciences has already transferred a lot of seeds and sent them to the warehouse this morning. We will go there later.
Li Moer frowned: "It has been arranged long ago. You are sure that I will help you."
Old Man Wei laughed heartily. "It's spread across the south that Mazu rescued dozens of fishermen and even gave them iron boats. I bet it was you who did it!"
Li Moer nodded: "That's right, more than forty people and eight boats, four of which have already sunk. If I don't take action, they will all be fed to the fish."
Old Man Wei said, "The senior leaders also know about this, and they are all worried about what reward to give you." Li Moer waved her hand. "I have everything I need, I don't need any reward. Let's go get the seeds!"
Old Wei got into Li Moer's car and drove to the warehouse. There were only two people guarding the warehouse.
Old Man Wei asked them to go home first, as a truck would come to pick up the seeds soon. The two of them couldn't wait to leave.
There was no one here, the entire warehouse was cold and deserted. The temperature was even lower. The two of them guarding the warehouse were already shivering with cold!
After the two left, Li Moer looked at the cotton seeds, waved his hand, and collected them all into the space.
Then I entered the space with Old Man Wei. Most of the crops planted in the space now are corn, which takes a short time to grow and is more resistant to hunger.
The corn in the storage area has been piled up very high. Old Man Wei estimates that there are hundreds of tons of it.
Li Moer pointed at the corn and said, "I'll take all these out in a while. You can find someone to distribute them."
