Film and Television World Life Record

Moreover, a series of heatstroke prevention and insulation projects have been launched.

Especially in high-altitude areas, major projects were launched overnight, and batches of personnel were transferred there.

In Yun City, there have also been many significant initiatives, including plans to upgrade roads and vehicles in response to the high temperatures.

In addition, a super grain depot storage plan was launched on a mountain nearly 200 kilometers away from Yun City.

The plan is to select a suitable location halfway up this mountain, which is over 500 meters above sea level, to build a large number of material storage bases.

Clearly, everyone realizes that if the polar ice caps melt, droughts and floods will inevitably worsen, and many cities in the plains, with no natural defenses, will be flooded.

We don't know how much of the various supplies will be lost. If we build a warehouse, we can transfer as much as possible to nearby locations.

The coastal areas have also launched this plan, and if there are mountains with a height of more than 300 meters within their territory, a plan to build a material storage base on the mountain will be initiated.

Local supplies were transported to higher ground.

Not only that, but all kinds of transportation methods, including highways, railways, inland waterway shipping, and air transport, were put into operation to transport all kinds of daily necessities. Unfortunately, there were just too many to transport in a short period of time.

Moreover, during this period, major enterprises in coastal areas have announced plans to relocate their factories to the western regions, and this is not just empty talk. The moment these announcements were made, the relocation of various machines began immediately.

As a result, some of the transportation capacity from the coast to the western regions was diverted. Many essential supplies could not be transported in time, so warehouses had to be built on nearby highlands to store these grains and other goods.

Not only the government is taking action, but the people are also taking action, especially those in coastal areas. Seeing the government's various actions, many people have rushed to the western regions to buy houses and properties.

Chapter 471 The Great Migration

In the following days, chaos reigned, especially in coastal areas, where countless people spontaneously migrated to the central and western regions by plane, high-speed rail, train, and many more by car.

With such a large flow of vehicles rushing out, the roads simply couldn't handle it. Even though major highway entrances implemented traffic control measures, it still caused an unprecedented massive congestion.

On highways, the longest traffic jam stretches over 100 kilometers, a rare occurrence in the world.

Not only that, but with such high temperatures, being stuck on the highway and unable to keep the cars running indefinitely to avoid running out of fuel led to a large number of people suffering from heatstroke. The situation became even more chaotic, prompting the government to implement a series of emergency measures, including strict traffic restrictions on highways. The traffic congestion was only alleviated two days later.

However, due to traffic restrictions on highways, large numbers of vehicles surged onto national and provincial highways following navigation prompts. Since the development of high-speed rail and highways, national and provincial highways, which were usually sparsely populated, have become unusually busy.

Seeing the massive and endless torrent of steel, the people in the areas along the national and provincial highways saw a business opportunity and began to flock to the roadside to set up stalls and do business.

Selling water, beverages, ice cream, food, and heatstroke prevention medicine... this solved the problem of food and water for everyone during their relocation.

Amidst the commotion outside, Li Mu remained quietly in his villa. Compared to the chaotic scenes of the migrating armies in the coastal areas, Yun City was relatively peaceful.

Although some people joined the migration, the overall environment remained relatively stable and public security was good.

Li Mu was quite pleased with the relocation of a portion of Yun City's population. The smaller the population, the less pressure there would be in the future. In the event of a major flood that inundates the entire city, there would be enough vacant high-rise buildings to accommodate the remaining residents.

Looking at the scorching sun outside and feeling the cool temperature in the villa, Li Mu took a sip of tea, picked up his phone and browsed the news; many websites had crashed.

This phenomenon has occurred many times in the past few days. On the one hand, the high temperatures are a test for servers, and many internet companies have begun major renovations to their data centers to cope with the upcoming high temperatures, forcing some servers to be shut down.

On the other hand, the arrival of the high-temperature apocalypse has caused widespread panic, with even many people who don't usually go online flocking to the internet, resulting in ever-increasing traffic.

Many news websites couldn't handle the pressure and crashed, especially Weibo, which has a limited number of hours a day when it's accessible. It's either crashing or on its way to crashing.

I browsed a few news websites that weren't crashing for a while, and 90% of the top 100 trending topics were about high-temperature apocalypses.

Countless netizens, trying to alleviate their anxiety, frantically posted questions. Some were filled with panic; others were rationally discussing the possibility of the apocalypse; still others were stirring up trouble…

Li Mu watched for a while, then stopped paying attention.

Meanwhile, online shopping platforms are becoming increasingly bustling. It's safe to say that the merchants there are incredibly adept at seizing business opportunities; recently, all sorts of personal heatstroke prevention and protection equipment have flooded the market.

Aside from the common heat-insulating clothing and boots that are selling like hotcakes online, many novel gadgets have also emerged, such as a solar-powered portable air-conditioning suit. This suit looks quite bulky, but it uses solar energy to convert into electricity, which then powers a small air conditioner built into the suit to cool the body.

To be honest, while this clothing isn't suitable for the average person, if the quality and effectiveness are up to standard, it could be a great cooling device for people who frequently work in high temperatures and under the sun. The heat-insulating suit can block most of the external heat, and with air conditioning further lowering the internal temperature, it allows for normal movement and work even under the scorching sun.

However, these clothes are not cheap. There is also a cheaper option: a personal portable fan heat-insulating suit and a personal portable mini air conditioner heat-insulating suit.

This type of heat-insulating suit has a very simple structure. It does not have solar power generation and does not require power storage equipment. It is simply a small fan or air conditioner built into the isolation suit.

As for the power issue, an external power source is used. The socket is the same as the charging socket for mobile phones, and it can be powered by a power bank.

As long as you bring a few power banks when you go out, it will run all day without any problems. In particular, heat-insulating clothing with small fans can run for a whole day with just two or three power banks.

There are also some personal cooling products called "Cooling Treasures," which are similar in nature to hand warmers. A single charge can maintain a surface temperature of 10 to 20 degrees Celsius for several hours.

It is also a useful tool for cooling down individuals.

Like a sudden trend, all sorts of cooling products have sprung up these days, flooding online shopping platforms. Some are genuinely effective, while others are just for fun and don't seem to have much of an effect.

During a recent procurement of supplies, Li Mu bought a considerable amount of commonly used thermal insulation equipment, such as thermal suits and boots, enough for future use. However, seeing all sorts of novel gadgets online, he couldn't resist ordering a large quantity as well.

Whether they're useful or not, let's stock up on some first.

And so, staying at home every day, watching the scorching heat and bustling crowds outside, another week or so passed in the blink of an eye.

Finally, three days ago, all the construction work on the unfinished building was completed, and all the supplies were moved there. The preparations for the apocalypse were finally finished.

Looking at the time, it's already late February, and there are only about ten days left until March. Once March arrives, the season of rejuvenation, the high-temperature apocalypse will likely officially begin due to the changing seasons.

After staying at home for so many days, Li Mu finally left his villa and conducted a comprehensive inspection of the unfinished building and the Muwu Building.

Accompanied by Wang Qian, they first arrived at the unfinished building.

"Boss, look, these seven buildings are all material storage buildings. In order to cope with possible future floods, most of the food and supplies are stored on the third floor and above."

As she spoke, Wang Qian led the group into a building. The group arrived at a simple two-story underground parking lot, which was mostly packed with cars, except for a few vehicles.

Wang Qian explained, "Boss, when it rains heavily in the future, the underground parking lot will inevitably be flooded. In such a large area, many supplies are not suitable for storage, but it would be a waste to leave them there."

"We stored tens of thousands of tons of diesel and several thousand tons of gasoline in the underground double-level parking lots of each building."

"The low underground temperature is one factor, but these oil drums are very tightly sealed, so even if they are soaked in water for a period of time, it will not affect their use."

Li Mu nodded, and the group walked out of the underground parking lot and came to the ground floor, where it was also piled up full, but all of them were bottled water.

Wang Qian said, "In the event of future floods, the first to third floors will also be in danger. Ordinary supplies placed here will inevitably be flooded and damaged. So we put the five million bottles of mineral water and more than one million boxes of various beverages on the first, second and third floors. Even if they are soaked in water, they will not affect normal use."

Soon we arrived at the fourth floor, which was filled with vacuum-packed foods, as well as a lot of canned goods, red wine, and white wine.

Wang Qian explained, "Boss, although the chances of the fourth and fifth floors being flooded are not high, we have still made some preparations. If they are flooded, these supplies will not be greatly affected if the water level recedes quickly."

Next, from the sixth floor all the way up to the twentieth floor, these places were filled with grains: corn, wheat, rice, soybeans, peanuts... piled high, the entire building above the sixth floor was filled with them, and the roof was also covered with solar photovoltaic panels.

Afterwards, we visited six other buildings, and the situation was similar.

The last building we visited was the last one to be completed, and also the one that required the most effort.

The eighth and ninth floors of this building have been converted into a breeding center, and the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth floors have also been modified to prevent heatstroke and provide insulation.

The following floors were similar, and soon we arrived at the eighth floor.

Wang Qian explained, "Boss, this floor is used to raise large mammals, such as pigs, cows, and sheep... We also raise a batch of dairy cows in this area to ensure the supply of fresh milk."

As they spoke, they went up to the ninth floor.

"Boss, this floor is used to raise small poultry, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and a batch of laying hens to ensure a future supply of fresh eggs."

Looking at the clean and tidy breeding base and the busy staff, Li Mu nodded.

"Not bad!"

We went up another floor to the tenth floor, which had also been insulated. The floor was filled with all kinds of machines, making it look like a large factory.

Wang Qian explained, "Boss, you see, we've converted this floor into a machining center."

"Many agricultural product processing equipment have been installed, which can produce flour, feed, and also tofu, bean sprouts, biscuits, and other small food products."

"Several large diesel generator sets have been installed here, so there will be enough energy supply even if the solar panels fail in the future."

Looking at the brand-new machines and the busy staff on site, Li Mu nodded.

Next, we visited the eleventh and twelfth floors, which have been converted into accommodation areas.

Wang Qian said, "Boss, look, this building has 2,500 square meters on the first floor, and 5,000 square meters on the second floor, which has been converted into more than 100 dormitories of various sizes."

"In the future, security personnel, breeding base staff, and food processing plant staff will all be arranged to live and work here."

"To solve the water source problem, two hand pump wells have been drilled here, and a corresponding water purification and storage system has been set up to ensure the supply and safety of drinking water."

After visiting the eight buildings, we walked around the surrounding area. This area is in the suburbs and belongs to the economic development zone, where land acquisition had already been completed. Due to the unsatisfactory development of the economic development zone, there are few people within a two-kilometer radius. Only a few roads connect it to the outside world, and no one comes here unless there is a specific reason, so the safety is relatively good.

After visiting this place, we arrived at the Muwu Building, where a large amount of diesel fuel was also stored in its three-story underground parking garage.

The ground floor, as requested by Li Mu, is a spacious and bright hall. After all, it is the face of the company, and the decoration is simple and elegant, but empty and without any storage.

Starting from the second floor, a large amount of mineral water and beverages are stored; by the fourth floor, most of the red and white wines are stored.

In addition, Li Mu has stockpiled a batch of kayaks on these floors, so that he will have water transportation in case of floods in the future.

Next, there were all sorts of supplies. Up to the tenth floor, there was an indoor greenhouse plant cultivation base, filled with various vegetables, and seven or eight technicians and growers were busy at work.

The eleventh floor houses a large cold storage facility and a large refrigerated storage facility, both managed and guarded by staff.

The twelfth floor is the power center, where Li Mu spent tens of millions to configure seven or eight sets of power storage systems, which can store hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity; there are also several large diesel generator sets to deal with unexpected power outages.

The thirteenth and fourteenth floors store various canned and vacuum-packed foods.

On the fifteenth floor, which has a total area of ​​3,000 square meters, 1,000 square meters were set aside to build a small hospital with seven or eight highly paid doctors and medical staff.

The remaining 2,000 square meters are for accommodation, including the 3,000 square meters on the sixteenth floor, which is also for accommodation. Together, more than 100 single, double, and quadruple dormitories have been built.

In the future, all the staff of Muwu Building will live here.

The space above the first dozen or so floors was filled with all sorts of supplies, all the way up to the thirty-first floor, which was a fitness center.
