Many times, no, it should be most of the time, Gao Qi can't remember the third catastrophe.

Although he experienced two energy bursts and seemed to be the direct beneficiary of two energy bursts, Gao Qi really cannot connect energy bursts with catastrophes.

Even if you know, you won’t really take it too seriously. Just like everyone knows that one day you will die, but before you really face the crisis of death, how many people will worry that they will die all day long.

So Gao Qi did not take the third catastrophe too seriously. If the third catastrophe really came, then come. If you survived it, you would die if you could not resist it. Anyway, this is what happened when you go back and forth.

However, those who have experienced two catastrophes seem to be more sensitive and more afraid of the arrival of the third catastrophe.

Sulian left Chaoxi City after two energy bursts. Now that he thought about it, he finally left the city because of two energy bursts.

"Professor, whether it is an idealist or a realist, if the third catastrophe really comes, what can you do alone?"

Gao Qi was really curious. He didn't want to question Professor Su's ideas. He really couldn't understand what Professor Su's behavior was related to what he said was that there was no time.

Gao Qi's question seems to be difficult for Professor Su to answer.

After thinking for a long time, Professor Su finally said: "You have left the city and you have seen the lives of the victims. If there is another large-scale disaster or a doomsday disaster, do you think the victims can survive it?"

"I think since the deserted people have survived two disasters, they should be able to deal with it again. Also, for survival, the deserted people seem to be better at it than the citizens."

Professor Su shook his head and said, "You shouldn't be the one who says such words. You are a powerful individual, rich survival skills, and compared with order and organization, which one is more conducive to the survival of a species?"

"From the perspective of survival, I think the situation of the deserted people is more beneficial than that of the city. If there is really a third disaster and it is a type of disaster, people gathered in the city may not be more beneficial than those of the deserted people who live in scattered areas."

Gao Qi did not want to argue with Professor Su, but he adhered to the principle that if it makes sense, he had a very serious debate with Professor Su.

Gao Qi seemed a little aggressive. He was polite but aggressive. He said: "Professor Su, I think your current approach is to satisfy your inner pursuits. Without investigation, there is no right to speak. I know very well about the lives of the deserted people. If the third catastrophe really comes, those who can survive in the end are not necessarily people in the city!"

Professor Su was silent for a moment, then he nodded and said, "You said there would be no right to speak without investigation. This makes me very happy. So, how in-depth are your investigations into the victims?"

Gao Qi was suddenly stunned because he found that his understanding of the people and the wilderness really seemed to be in the word "investigation".

At most, at most, just take a quick look.

Professor Su sighed lightly and said, "Let me tell you that fourteen years ago, I presided over the first census in Chaoxicheng after the Battle of the Beasts. At that time, there were 124,067 people in Chaoxicheng, and the number of victims within a diameter of 100 kilometers outside Chaoxicheng was about 30,000."

Gao Qi stopped talking because he had no right to speak without investigation. When Professor Su said the accurate numbers, he knew that he had lost the debate and lost completely.

"Nine years ago, in the second census, there were 171,402 people in the city, and there were more than 24,000 people outside the city. Chaoxicheng was born in nearly 50,000 people in five years. However, the victims outside the city did not leave on a large scale. Instead, there were people who lived near Chaoxicheng one after another, and the population was reduced by 6,000 people, one-fifth of the population!"

In five years, one-fifth of the population has been lost. What is this?

Gao Qi's face began to look bad.

Professor Su continued to say helplessly: "Four years ago, in the third census, the number of people in Chaoxi City increased to 268,000, and the growth rate is extremely fast, because under the policy of encouraging childbirth, the first generation of newborns after the disaster reached the age of marriage and childbirth. When you were in school, many people of the same age as you had formed families and gave birth to their first child, and some even had their second child, but what about the victims? I tell you, there are only 12,000 victims left!"

In another five years, the victims lost more than half of their population.

Gao Qi was speechless, and he was ashamed because what he said was not consistent with what he did.

"What is the reason for the sharp decline in the population of disaster victims? The result of my investigation is that alien beasts in the wild breed quickly and the number of alien beasts increases very quickly. When the survival area of ​​alien beasts overlaps with the active areas of victims without the protection of the city walls, the result must be that the victims die. However, the number of victims dies from alien beasts is a small number, and the most deaths of the victims is disease. The second is the long-term malnutrition caused by food shortages. The third fight between the victims to compete for survival information. The fifth is the cruel oppression of the victims in the city. The population reduction caused by alien beasts on the victims can only rank sixth!"

Gao Qi sighed lightly and said, "I'm sorry."

Professor Su ignored Gao Qi's apology and continued to whisper: "It only took ten years to go from 34,000 to 12,000 people. Then I didn't have the chance to conduct a population survey, but I know that the number of victims outside the city is continuing to decline, and it is a cliff-like decline. Look, look at the gathering points outside the city, how many are empty?"

"Professor, don't say anything more..."

He sighed lightly and said with difficulty: "So if you go out of the city and establish a mutual aid association for disaster victims, would you rather let Chaoxicheng send troops to attack than give those deserted people scattered outside the city and hiding in the mountains, and give them a little fire of hope?"

"Yes."

Professor Su said firmly: "You can't delay any more, I can't slowly think about it. If I develop secretly for a few years and then openly, then... it's a question whether I have anyone to save. You should understand one thing now. When the population drops to a certain level, you will be powerless to turn things around. Any civilization, any civilization, or even just to survive, needs to have a population base!"

Gao Qi said helplessly: "But, but even if you are right, the deserted people really have no time and can't delay it anymore. But at least you should do a better job of confidentiality. Just open public activities like this, Chaoxicheng will definitely send the city defense force to wipe it out!"

Professor Su nodded and said, "You are right, but you have overlooked a problem."

“What’s the problem?”

"The issue of cost and benefits, perhaps the emergence of the mutual aid association for disaster victims has indeed touched the bottom line of those in power in Chaoxicheng, but don't forget that defending the bottom line requires a price, and if the price is too high, the bottom line can shrink appropriately."

"Shrink the bottom line? How do you say this?"

Professor Su is very serious and serious just like when he was teaching in class in a class where only one student had only one student.

"Distance, distance is always the primary concern in any military war, because distance is related to the delivery of troops, weapons, logistics supply, and reinforcement speed. This can be said, distance creates beauty."

Gao Qi felt a sudden realization. He now felt that he was too stupid. However, when he contacted Mujian and Professor Su and when Professor Su arrived here, he felt that maybe Professor Su was too naive.

“How many distances can produce beauty?”

Professor Su smiled and said, "The answer is very simple. The straight line distance is 130 kilometers. This number depends on the wireless power supply limit distance of Chaoxicheng."

Gao Qi was stunned.

Professor Su continued to say lightly: "What is the basis for the absolute military advantage of the city over the victims? Sufficient supplies, sufficient ammunition, heavy firepower, well-trained soldiers, and better organizational capabilities. But aside from the level of training of soldiers, what is the basis for everything else? Energy, that is, electricity, now I tell you that the armored vehicles in Chaoxicheng can only move within a range of 120 kilometers. If they exceed this range, they will not be able to use them."

"No! Can trams travel for hundreds of kilometers? Can't they still travel for hundreds of kilometers by relying on battery power?"

Professor Su smiled disdainfully and said, "Light trams can be driven by batteries, but what about trucks that repost goods? What about armored vehicles that carry weights in combat? I tell you that armored vehicles do not have batteries installed at all and can only rely on wireless charging technology. Therefore, the maximum combat distance of armored vehicles is 120 kilometers. Within this distance, armored vehicles do not need to consider energy issues, but after this distance, armored vehicles are scrap iron."

"No! I'm still riding a helicopter today. The helicopter may fly very far away. After it exceeds the wireless power supply range, it will rely on batteries to fly."

Professor Su said vigilantly: "What helicopter?"

"The latest product of No. 1 City, Chaoxicheng does not have it. I understand. Chaoxicheng does not have such technology..."

Professor Su nodded and said, "These are secrets of strict blockade of Chaoxicheng. Military secrets are also needed to be kept confidential both internally and externally. Now I can tell you that I led people to establish the first gathering area of ​​the mutual aid association for the disaster victims in the mountainous area 130 kilometers away from Chaoxicheng. At this distance, Chaoxicheng will never send city defense forces to attack because Li Jin dared not!"

When he said that Li Jin did not dare to attack, Professor Su, who was in a bookish manner, was full of heroism.

But Gao Qi couldn't help but say, "Even if the distance is so far that it is impossible to use armored vehicles, why doesn't Speaker Li dare to attack? After all, even if the City Defense Force is asked to leave the armored vehicles' cover, it is the City Defense Force that has a more advantage, right?"
