Chapter 9 Prophecy

Lin Yusen walked onto the speech stage. Looking at the dark congressmen in the audience, he felt very moved. This was the third time he described what was about to happen in the future. The first time was to Director Zhou of the Environmental Protection Bureau, and the second time was Mayor Jiang. The first two descriptions did not play any role in avoiding disasters. So what about this time?

"The large-scale assembly of rat groups has begun." Lin Yusen's tone was full of worries: "There are about 10 million rat groups that attacked Erdaoliangzi Village, and more than 10 million rat groups that subverted the 73 trains. The rat groups have developed into huge groups through dispersion and aggregation. According to my analysis, there should be no less than 100 such rat groups in the western mountainous areas of Zhongjiang City, including Qinba, Wuling and Baiyun Mountains. In other words, the number of rats in the mountainous areas has exceeded 1 billion. Due to the amazing reproductive ability of mice, this number is still growing rapidly. It is expected that within 2-3 months, the number of rats in the mountainous areas will exceed 2 billion."

2 billion mice! A buzzing exclamation sounded from the audience.

"Did you calculate the number of rats based on the flowering area of ​​bamboo?" asked Member Zhang Ran.

"Yes. The flowering area of ​​bamboo forests in mountainous areas exceeds 20 million hectares. Calculately, 60 rats are raised per hectare of bamboo seeds, which is 1.2 billion. Moreover, not only bamboo blossoms, larch, oak trees... These trees have produced a large number of seeds since last year. The entire western mountainous area seems to have spit out mice that have been accumulated for hundreds of years. At present, the mountainous areas are in this state of rapid breeding of mice."

"What are your predictions about the next move of the mouse?"

"Attack the village!" Lin Yusen said firmly: "Now there is no food in the mountainous areas that can feed more than 1 billion mice. The mice can only plunder the villages in order to survive. I assert that in the next month, hundreds of villages in the western mountainous areas will face large-scale attacks by rats. If we do not have appropriate countermeasures, the Erdaoliangzi Village or the 73rd train tragedy will repeat, and the future tragedy will be 100 times more severe than yesterday's tragedy!"

Everyone gasped. Most people didn't expect that the rat disaster in the mountains had worsened to such a severe extent.

"What about countermeasures? What countermeasures do you think can be taken to avoid future disasters?"

"Immediately upgrade the rat-killing command in Zhongjiang City! We are facing a rare ecological war. The power of one city is far from enough. We should not hesitate to invite the Vice Premier of the State Council or even the Prime Minister to serve as the first person in charge of the rat-killing command. With Zhongjiang City as the center, we mobilize 1-2 divisions and more than 15,000 troops, as well as armored vehicles, helicopters, flamethrowers, rocket launchers and other effective weapons to deal with rat groups. Also, let the Department of Health organize medical personnel to control infectious diseases, take over hospitals in various districts of Zhongjiang City, and prepare to deal with various sudden infectious diseases. In short, all diseases based on rats will soon spread in Zhongjiang City. The plague and the attack of the rat group will cause large-scale panic among the citizens..."

Lin Yusen said in a rare and enthusiastic tone: "... When the rat group approaches, natural gas must be prohibited! Villages in mountainous areas must implement mandatory refuge. Tourism and sightseeing are prohibited. Entering the entire mountainous area may be prohibited. Some people may think what I said is too exaggerated. However, please note that our opponent is astronomical rats, creatures that have lost their individual consciousness and gradually fall into madness! This is a group that requires imagination to deal with. Frankly speaking, humans do not have effective weapons to fight against. What we are doing is that humans have never experienced ecological wars in history! Without imagination, we cannot foresee future events, and greater disasters cannot be avoided!"

Lin Yusen's face turned red and he spoke quickly. He kept talking and brought out his thoughts in one breath. His eyes, which were usually full of melancholy, now emit light.

The parliament was quiet and could not even hear a cough. After a long time, Congressman Zhang Ran asked: "Professor Lin, what is the basis for these large-scale ideas you proposed? For example, to mobilize so many troops to fight against rats..."

"After the rats sweep the mountain villages, there is no food to feed them in the mountains. Therefore, the rats will surely rush out of the mountainous areas, and Zhongjiang City will be the first to be hit. At that time, Zhongjiang City will become a battlefield!"

Zhongjiang City became a battlefield! The members of the congressmen made a buzzing noise.

Member Zhang Ran's face was a little pale: "Zhongjiang City has become a battlefield..."

Lin Yusen nodded: "Zhongjiang City has a population of 10 million, and the urban area has a population of more than 3 million. If enough troops are not dispatched, you will not be able to guard against the attack of 2 billion rats. Once the urban area is occupied by rats, it will be an unprecedented disaster."

"Is dispatching troops enough to eliminate the rat group?" Zhang Ran asked anxiously.

Lin Yusen sighed and said, "When rats leave the mountainous areas and enter the Yizhou plain, it is absolutely necessary to dispatch troops to defend. However, it is probably difficult to rely on the army to eliminate 2 billion rats. Rats usually operate at night, and it is difficult to block the vast mountainous areas at night even with modern weapons. Because the scope is too large. Unless the government can make up its mind to move millions of residents in the suburbs of Zhongjiang and set up a battlefield within a range of tens of thousands of square kilometers of Zhongjiang, even if all these tens of thousands of square kilometers are blown into ruins, the rats must be eliminated - but can the government make this decision? If the government makes this decision, can the parliament pass this bill?"

Lin Yusen's voice echoed in the parliament hall, but the parliamentarians were silent like death. Even the parliamentarian Zhang Ran, who had just turned the three high-ranking government officials off the stage, pursed his lips tightly.

After a long time, Lin Yusen said helplessly: "So, what I can foresee is that 2 billion rats will soon rush into the city. By then, the city must be powered off and air cut off, otherwise panic citizens will set fire to the city to ashes. Once the rat group begins to approach the city, the entire Zhongjiang City must implement martial law. Without this, the police will not be granted special powers for rat damage - blocking traffic, prohibiting going out, and even forcing residents to take refuge according to the situation. These situations are likely to occur. If the police do not have these special powers, the entire Zhongjiang City will be in chaos, and even large-scale riots will occur."

Member Zhang Ran hesitated for a moment and said: "Forcing residents to take refuge is difficult. Do you think the situation will develop to that extent?"

"You have too poor imagination, too." Lin Yusen shook his head with a wry smile, and never spoke again.

"This...Professor Lin..." For a moment, Congressman Zhang Ran didn't know what to say.

Lin Yusen stared at the distance with a melancholy gaze.

"Professor Lin." Member Zhang Ran swallowed his mouth with great difficulty, saying: "Can you explain to the parliament in detail the reasons for your countermeasures? After all, it is difficult to get the government to make up its mind to force millions of citizens to take refuge, and there is no sufficient basis, and it is difficult for the parliament to pass such a bill."

"Reason? The reason is that if we do not seek refuge forcibly, thousands of people will lose their lives!" Lin Yusen suddenly became very excited: "I have warned many times about bamboo blossoms and rat damage, but no one paid attention to it. The result is that nearly 2,000 people are killed! From now on, the disaster will repeat itself, countless people will turn into bones and blood will spread throughout the earth. Maybe you think I am exaggerating. However, such a tragedy will soon be

It becomes a fact. The rat group is gathering continuously, forming an unprecedented huge group. When the rat group swept through the village, the black and fluffy biocarpet like a mudslide will pounce on the city like an avalanche! The crisis is right in front of you! If you still have luck, where is the lives of millions of citizens? I have repeatedly emphasized that the situation we face is a crisis that needs to be dealt with with imagination! But have our decision makers and the imaginations of the sitting public really dried up?”

Lin Yusen stood up from the chair and walked towards the gate.

"Professor Lin, where are you going?" Councillor Zhang Ran asked loudly.

Lin Yusen stopped, turned his head, and said lightly: "The next question is to go to Congress. I have to prepare a speech to Congress in advance."

Lin Yusen said and walked out of the parliament hall.

There was a silence in the venue.
