I live in a desert island property

Chapter 30 The Power of Nature

Zhang Ming drew an image of the earth on the ground.

His general knowledge of geography was so-so, and he struggled for a long time before he could barely describe the outlines of the seven continents and four oceans.

In the past, I would never understand the beauty of radio; today, I pay attention to the world situation all day long, wishing that the news could be broadcast all day.

Due to frequent earthquakes, high-rise buildings are no longer safe, and megacities are dying at an extremely fast rate.

The real estate industry completely collapsed within a month, leaving a large group of miserly people who owed a large amount of debt to the bank.

In this case, people are unable to repay the mortgage, and it is impossible to repay the mortgage: my house has collapsed, who the hell is going to ask you for debts from the bank, fuck off, no money! Even if you are an old man, you have no money!

The large-scale breach of contract led to a large area of ​​bank bad debts, and naturally the depositors lost their money, which further triggered a run on the bank.

Finance, a virtual concept, affects all aspects of the operation of human society.

When finances are paralyzed, the economy is also paralyzed.

"In order to stabilize currency credit, banking financial institutions have established an internal trading system with gold as the basic unit."

"In order to cope with the wave of bank runs, the citizens of the Great Xia Kingdom have a monthly limit of 10,000 yuan to withdraw currency."

Are you on the gold standard again?

It seems to be a historical inevitability.

Accompanied by earthquakes and tsunamis that erupt from time to time, the productivity of the whole country has dropped sharply. Inflation continues to soar, whether it is food, clothing, cars, or cutting-edge electronic products, such as Ai Crazy 999, Huawei 888 mobile phones, 4090 graphics cards, various chips, the prices have soared sharply, and even some commodities, such as gold, a It soared 30 times within a month, and silver rose 20 times in a month.

Various electronic products have also risen by more than 2-5 times. Many Puming people believe that these high-tech products are already the highest technological crystallization that human beings can produce. In the next 20 or even 100 years, there will be no more advanced electronic products.

Zhang Ming: "..."

Radio: "Our country's current grain reserves are sufficient, enough to meet the food needs of all the people for a year without any grain output."

"Experts believe that the earthquake does not affect food production, and even due to the impact of climate factors, some areas will have an unprecedented bumper harvest of food."

"The state has set up a special management department to severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities such as food, clothing and other daily necessities, rare goods that can be lived in, and high-priced trading."

Zhang Ming sat on a chair and listened to the radio.

It is hard for him to imagine the current level of chaos in the world. The poor are starving, while the rich are still snapping up mobile phones and cars;

The Great Xia Kingdom already has excellent organizational skills in Blue Star, and it is already the limit to be able to protect the people from starving to death.

It is not ruled out that the content of the broadcast is slightly beautified. After all, the announcer Li Xianfeng is also a member of the system, so it is impossible for him to speak ill of the system.

"The power of nature is really terrifying."

"I don't know how much my parents have been affected. It shouldn't be a problem if I stay in a small county in my hometown and have enough food? By the way, my mother's gold necklace and gold ring should be worth a lot of money..."

Suddenly thought of something again, and took out a briefcase, which contained a full 270,000 US dollars.

In a third-tier city, the down payment is light but heavy.

"My money has been turned into a pile of waste paper before it's spent?"

A large pile of colorful dollar bills in his hand said: If you have the ability, you burn us down! Burn it if you have the ability!

After thinking about it for a long time, I still didn't want to burn it.

Although it has become hairy, it is still valuable.

As long as the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean does not completely collapse, the dollar still has value. US$270,000 may buy several meals of KFC, which is quite delicious when you think about it, and Lao Zhang feels that the saliva in his mouth is secreting.

Li Xianfeng continued with his natural voice: "Today's domestic news is over. Next is the international news."

"Fusang has announced the implementation of a national immigration plan. It is expected that in the next 10 years, the national population will be dispersed to various regions such as South America, North America, Asia, Australia, and Africa."

"Under the mediation of the international joint organization, the first batch of one million immigrants has officially departed for Australia on an ocean-going ship. Australian Prime Minister Barrison expressed a warm and sincere welcome to these one million immigrants."

"Australia is so good? Wouldn't it be extradited to be slaves? Are they all young ladies?" Zhang Ming was thinking wildly.

"The Dongfei Dam burst in a strong earthquake, and the flood victims reached 50 million. The international joint organization issued a fundraising appeal to avoid the humanitarian disaster that erupted in the future."

"The largest chemical plant in North America, the Erhai Goose Group, had a serious leak. About 340 tons of vinyl chloride leaked into the air..."

International news is worse than domestic news.

Happiness is based on comparison. As long as it is more miserable abroad, it seems that the country is not so miserable.

Even Zhang Ming himself felt a little inexplicable, as if the current life was acceptable.

But will humanity perish?

Obviously not. The disaster tolerance capacity of modern countries is much higher than that of agricultural countries in the feudal era. The 8 billion people in the world are now... 500 million people have disappeared.

In the broadcast, 500 million sounds like just a number, just like 500 million civilians died in the game, without witnessing it with their own eyes, they have no concept at all.

Even when you hear these things every day, you will slowly become numb. At the beginning, when you hear various disasters, "the boy who fell on the beach", "the seabirds polluted by oil", "the explosion little girl running in the

But now, all thoughts turned into leaden nothingness, dissipated with the sea breeze...

Just like the description of the disaster in the history books: "Great hunger, people eat each other", there is only a light sentence.

Zhang Ming couldn't help recalling the sentence "Spring swallows return, nesting in trees", which didn't describe human beings, only cruelty.

The eruption of the Mount Fuji volcano turned the surrounding area into scorched earth. The population death rate in Fusang is actually only a small eight-figure figure. After all, it is a large industrial country. As long as it is willing to pay a high price, there are still areas willing to accept high-quality citizens.

More deaths occur in poor and small countries.

They didn't even have a chance to be reported in the news.

What happened to the civilians in those small countries, no one knows, no one cares, and the mainstream public opinion in the world does not have enough energy to focus on them.

The so-called "I don't care about the rise of the Communist Party, I only care about the dignity of the Communist Party" is really bullshit in this era.

When the earth farts, people are gone.

Without a strong country, who will take care of your life? You were robbed, got a kidney, committed suicide, and starved to death. You call for help, but who cares about you!
