In the distant unknown research institute, there were signs of busyness everywhere, and almost everyone was in a hurry.

In the office, Ning Zongxun's eyes were bloodshot. He flipped through the report in his hand. After reading it in a hurry, he relied on his physical intuition that was far beyond ordinary people and said: "Xiao Yang, the water vapor pressure of the saturated air on page 9 of this report is

There seems to be something wrong with the curve graph. You can ask someone to check it again. It will be used for secondary big data analysis later..."

"Yes, I'll go right away!" A young man under thirty years old had messy hair. He hadn't bothered to wash his hair for who knows how many days, and his clothes were full of sweat. He took the report and trotted out and said to Ning

There is no doubt in Zong Xun's words.

Over the years, Ning Zongxun's intuitive talent in physics has already convinced everyone in the institute.

There were also seven or eight group leaders queuing up next to them, waiting for Ning Zongxun to make time.

A young man with glasses at the front was supposed to step forward after Xiao Yang left. Seeing Ning Zongxun closing his eyes and rubbing his sore eyes, the young man with glasses couldn't bear to bother him anymore, but Ning Zongxun only waited for five seconds.

Zhong then opened his eyes again: "Xiao He, what's the matter?"

The bespectacled young man Xiao He had no choice but to hand over a thick stack of information in his hand: "Director Ning, this report also needs your instructions on where to start..."

"Well, wait a moment." Ning Zongxun had just taken over and turned two pages, and assistant Xiao Wang hurried over: "Director Ning, there's a call from above, and I need you to go and make a report in person."

Ning Zongxun sighed helplessly and said to Xiao He: "Wait for me for another ten minutes..."

"I'll go." Ji Xiuyu, who was lying on the simple bed in the corner next to her, suddenly sat up, with an unhealthy flush of high fever on her face. She lifted the quilt and wanted to get off the ground, but she didn't have enough strength after being sick, so it was a bit difficult to get up.

A female doctor rushed forward to help her.

Ji Xiuyu said in a hoarse voice: "How long has it been since I fell asleep?"

"You only slept for about half an hour...the antipyretic medicine you took has not fully taken effect yet, so you need to rest more..." the female doctor hurriedly advised.

She knew that the deputy director in front of her, Academician Ji, was a person who didn't care about his body when he was working, but no matter how much he didn't care about his body, he couldn't act recklessly! He hadn't slept for a moment for three consecutive days, and even an iron man couldn't bear it. No,

Academician Ji suddenly developed a high fever more than an hour ago. If Director Ning hadn't forcefully asked her to take medicine and then take a nap, she would have been afraid that she would not even waste half an hour.

And even if he wanted to sleep, Academician Ji refused to go back to his room to sleep. He just slept on the simple bed in Director Ning's office for a while, so that he could wake up at any time and continue working...

The female doctor has only been transferred to this institute for about a year, and she has not been able to adapt to the high-intensity and intense work here. Especially in the past month, as the climate has become worse and worse, everyone in the institute seems to be burning with life.

She was so devoted to her work that she was frightened.

Ning Zongxun also heard the sound and looked over, and said gently: "Xiuyu, listen to the doctor and get more sleep. When your fever goes away, I still have a lot of work that I need your help with."

"No, I'm fine." Ji Xiuyu stood up with strength, picked up the tea cup and took a few sips of coffee. Her face had returned to its usual perseverance: "Zong Xun, you can't leave, I'm going to give a report. That group

The boss will only cause trouble, and I don’t know how long they will ask. You are the mainstay. You have to sit here and direct the work of the entire office, so you can’t be away for so long."

Her throat was inflamed and her voice was as hoarse as a dead leaf. The female doctor's eyes turned red when she heard this. She wanted to persuade her again, but Ji Xiuyu reached out and said, "Has the latest forecast report been released? Let me take a look.

, I will make a report later..."

Ning Zongxun looked at his wife's stubborn expression, feeling pity and helplessness in his heart. He knew that her stubborn temper was rising and he could not compete with her, so he could only give her a copy of the latest forecast report placed on his desk, and at the same time

The female doctor winked and signaled that the female doctor should accompany her throughout the entire process and take good care of her wife.

Ji Xiuyu took the forecast report and turned to the last page directly. She saw the conclusion above: "The latest data analysis from the meteorological department shows that the probability that the current climate anomaly is the 'first sign' mentioned in the prediction is about 39.7

%."

39.7%!

Ji Xiuyu remembered that in the prediction report a week ago, the climate research group, climate prediction group, mathematical analysis group, and mathematical modeling group jointly analyzed and concluded that it was 35.1%. More than three years ago, the highest probability was only about 31%!

Obviously this probability is constantly increasing!

Is the "first sign" of world collapse really about to appear?

At this moment, Ji Xiuyu's groggy mind just flashed a thought - "Fortunately, the girl is married, and she has experienced the feeling of being a wife. It's a pity that she doesn't have children yet. I don't know what the girl can do."

Can’t you become a mother before the world collapses?”

But she quickly shook off these thoughts and pinched her thighs hard to cheer herself up so that she could better cope with the next report to her superiors.

I thought that when my superiors heard about the increasing probability, they would be very nervous and would keep asking questions.

Ji Xiuyu turned around and walked away. She had a determined look on her face, but her steps were sloppy. The female doctor held her tightly to help her walk steadily.

The researchers who were waiting in line to ask for instructions from Ning Zongxun were all red-eyed when they saw this scene. Leaders are working so hard, what else do they have to complain about? Risk your life to do it! Besides, what if this time

If the extreme and abnormal weather cannot survive, and there is a doomsday situation in which the world collapses, everyone will have no way out. The results of every minute and every second of work will become the greatest motivation to preserve the fire of mankind's future.

At this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing rimless glasses rushed in excitedly and said loudly: "Director Ning, Academician Ji, we have just received the data returned by the meteorological satellite.

, the intensity of the super cold air mass that was originally accumulated in Siberia is beginning to decrease from its peak. According to this trend, it will completely return to normal winter temperatures in about a week. We have survived it this time!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then cheers resounded throughout the office!

Because Siberia is too far away from the Xia Kingdom, the Xia Kingdom cannot establish a meteorological observation station there and can only rely on meteorological satellites to collect data and send it over.

According to usual experience, when the super cold air mass from Siberia continues to accumulate to a terrifying value, it will spread rapidly southward like a mountain avalanche, causing extremely cold and long periods of time in several countries, including Xia Kingdom.

In winter, this terrifying value will not weaken as the cold air moves south, but will remain at the peak value. When the peak value begins to decrease, it means that this wave of super cold wave has passed.

At this time, the peak value drops, which means that the probability of the "first sign" mentioned in the prophecy will also decrease.

Ning Zongxun and Ji Xiuyu relaxed and immediately sat down on the floor, exhausted. The two of them breathed a long sigh of relief at the same time, several meters apart, and looked at each other and smiled.

Ning Zongxun waited for more than ten seconds before saying to his assistant Xiao Wang: "Go and ask Xiao Gao and the others to re-analyze the data and issue a new forecast report."

He then said to Ji Xiuyu: "Xiuyu, I'll go with you to report to the superiors. This time the crisis has been resolved, but looking at this trend, I'm afraid the situation will be even more urgent in the next 'three-year winter'

, it is by no means impossible that a "Little Ice Age" will occur for four to five months. It seems that it is urgent to promote the "perfect desert sweet potato" cultivated by Qin Ke and Yatou around the world. The only way is to restrain the expansion of the desert and reduce the

Because of the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide, and thus improving the global climate on a large scale, it is possible that the winter in three years will not become even worse!”

…

Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun, who are far away in the capital, naturally don't know what kind of torturous winter Ning Zongxun and his wife led nearly a thousand top researchers through, but they can also find that the "severe winter" in the capital has begun to pass.

On January 17, the lowest temperature in Beijing hit a record low of -23 degrees Celsius, and then began to rise rapidly. On Saturday night, when Qin Ke took Ning Qingyun to the Beijing Stadium to watch a live CBA game, the lowest temperature at night in Beijing

The temperature has risen to -15C, and the average temperature has even risen to -9C. The wind and snow have stopped long ago, and pedestrians who have been hiding for more than half a month begin to appear on the streets in groups.

If it weren't for the fact that snow clearing trucks were still clearing the snow all over the city, people would almost doubt that the severe cold that was so terrible that it seemed to freeze the entire city was just a dream.

For most people, they are unaware of the crisis hidden behind such an unusually cold winter. They are still running and working hard for their ordinary life of three meals a day, or for the dream they are unwilling to give up.

.

Weihai is one of them.

As a member of the Beidiao ant tribe who was born in a small mountain town and has no family background to help him, the only thing Wei Hai can rely on is his basketball talent, as well as the solid basic skills, superb tactical thinking and hard training with his master Qin Yanghui for several years.

Excellent basketball skills.

However, because of his unruly and flamboyant personality, he was excluded and framed when he first joined the basketball club in Beijing. He was eventually expelled from the club and lived on the streets.

He was unwilling to give up his dream and return to his hometown of Qingping Town to live a mediocre life, so he gritted his teeth and lived in a cheap and damp basement, doing odd jobs while looking for opportunities to realize his dream. Unfortunately, the reality is cruel, and in Weihai When he was discouraged and almost lost the courage to live, Qin Ke met him and pulled him back from the edge of despair and decadence, and also allowed him to see the light of his dream again.

After experiencing hardships, Wei Hai cherished this rare opportunity. He became low-key and diligent in the new club. He also learned to imitate Qin Ke's usual communication style somewhat poorly, and finally made a successful debut in the new basketball club. He gained a firm foothold, and with his outstanding performance, he became a substitute player in the official competition.

Sitting on the edge of the basketball court, looking at the dark crowd around him, Wei Hai was nervously looking forward to his chance to play - the coach has said that as long as there is a chance, he will be given about three minutes of playing time.

For a football match, three minutes is just a short period of time, but for Wei Hai, it is his professional debut, which is of great significance. For this reason, he watched the game intently after the game started, analyzing the opponent's tactics and tactics. Individual differences, looking for loopholes, Qin even pulled Ning Qingyun and sat in the auditorium less than two meters behind him without finding it.

Ning Qingyun asked quietly: "Qin Xiaoke, why do you rarely come to watch professional basketball games?"

Qin Ke looked at Wei Hai sitting on the bench and replied softly: "There are many reasons. First, watching professional games up close will remind me of my father's regrets in this life. No matter what kind of regrets he has. He left the professional basketball court in a mood. He really gave up his most glorious career for his family. Secondly, when I saw the court up close, I couldn't help but want to go up and play... But I probably won't be able to stand up to the professional level in my life. On the basketball court.”

At this point, he smiled: "And now we both have to wear sunglasses to cover our faces when watching football live. It's not pleasant at all. Why should I add to my worries? I'll hold you in my arms and watch the big TV at home. Wouldn’t 4k HD live broadcast be much better?”

Ning Qingyun nodded slightly, but she was thinking in her heart, is there a chance for her husband to stand on the professional court and play a game? Even if it is just one game...

】

Qin Ke's dream is her dream.

The girl quietly glanced at Qin Ke's focused gaze and thought about a solution in her mind.

At the end of the fourth quarter, Wei Hai finally got a chance to play. In just three minutes, he created two great assists, made two effective steals, and accurately made a three-pointer. The ball was scored, and finally a point was obtained through free throws, which turned the situation around in one fell swoop and aroused cheers from the audience.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your friend is playing well, but he always feels that he is not as good as you." Ning Qingyun actually doesn't know much about basketball, but just to understand Qin Ke's interests better, he read basketball rules, and watched dozens of live basketball games on TV with Qin Ke.

"The opponents are different. My opponents are all college students. Their level is very average, which naturally highlights my level. Wei Hai is facing professional players from the CBA. It is very good to score 4 points in three minutes."

Qin Ke was happy for his good friend but also secretly lamented that it was a pity that the coach gave Wei Hai the position of "shooting guard". This position was certainly good, but it could not really bring out Wei Hai's strength. Wei Hai's most suitable position should be

"Point guard" is also the position that Qin Ke is usually best at.

Of course, as a newcomer and a substitute, Wei Hai would not have enough prestige to organize the entire team's offense.

But Qin Ke believes that when Wei Hai truly grows up and his personality becomes more mature, he will one day reach the position of "point guard" and write his own basketball legend.

At the end of the game, Wei Hai's club team finally narrowly defeated its opponent. Wei Hai's performance won praise from many teammates.

Looking at Wei Hai who was surrounded by his teammates, Qin Ke smiled happily and did not go over to join in the fun. Instead, he held Ning Qingyun's little hand in a low-key manner and quickly left the gym.

Ning Qingyun asked curiously as she walked: "It's a rare occasion, why don't you go and meet your friends?"

Qin Ke shook his head and said softly: "I'm not going. I'll just tell him on WeChat later that I came to see him play. I'm too famous now. Appearing next to Wei Hai will cause the club to hate him."

Pay attention, the club may even take special care of Wei Hai in order to give me face, which is a bit counterproductive for Wei Hai and may not be a good thing."

Any team member will reject and resist this kind of "relationship", which will lead to the deterioration of Wei Hai's currently harmonious partnership.
