Chapter 484 The Haze Falls
A joint meeting of the February and June cities.

He Kui also saw many familiar faces among them, including Durandal and Lenoir.

Except for Lenoir, everyone else was slightly surprised when they saw He Kui.

Although He Kui is the director of the design bureau, this is not within his professional field.

The meeting was chaired by February City's city representative, Elsman, Diego's father.

Perhaps he had learned something from Patrick, so Elsman, who had just entered the meeting, was not too surprised when he looked at He Kui, and did not say anything.

"Then let's make it short."

"I believe everyone has learned about this biological invasion from the information."

"What I want to know is how long it will take you."

"Let's start with the PLANT National Institute of Genetics."

The meeting began with Elsman's calm voice.

Generally speaking, the content of the meeting is to strengthen the details in those three major directions.

For example, the time and investment required for each solution.

Then coordinate and balance the progress of the three methods from a higher perspective.

At the end of the meeting, the focus was on specific biological agents.

This is the simplest and fastest.

Of course, even if there is sufficient funding, it will still take more than two months.

The other two projects were also being carried out at the same time, but with relatively less funding and staff.

As soon as the video conference ended, Renoir also found him privately.

“How long will it take for the hydroponic chamber to be completed?”

Lenoir asked directly.

"It's still the same time. Two months is the fastest."

"Um"

“And even if it’s a hydroponic chamber, it will take at least half a year to fully roll it out.”

That is the food supply for the entire PLANT. If we want to fully roll it out in June City, half a year would be considered fast.

"We may not have enough time. Regardless of the cost, we should first roll out the production line and then start trial production of the prototype of the hydroponic cabin."

Lenoir said.

This technology does not have to be completed before it can be used, but the cost cannot be reduced. However, compared with the possible civil unrest, this is the only thing we can do now.

"How much food do we have left?"

He Kui looked at the anxious Lenoir and asked.

"There are only four to six months left. Our food warehouse on Earth was contaminated not long ago. They must have planned this in advance."

This warehouse is not as well hidden as the one in Genesis.
Moreover, since it cannot move, synthetic meat cannot be supplied to so many people. Moreover, synthetic meat has defects in terms of nutrition and satiety, otherwise it would not be controlled.

"Anyway, do your research first, and tell me what equipment and people you need."

"This project has the same priority as biological agents, as soon as possible."

Renoir's face was no longer as kind as before, and her decisive look was somewhat like Patrick's style.

"Okay, but aren't the other countries on Earth taking any action?"

"If possible, it would be fastest if we all study together, right?"

"I don't know the details, but cooperation is not that simple."

Lenoir shook her head and said.

If it is other neutral countries, it is easy to say, but it is difficult to say about Eurasia and East Asia.

At present, it is a situation where each of the Eight Immortals is showing their magical powers.

"I wanted to invite you over for dinner, but I'll have to do it next time."

Lenoir smiled bitterly.

Originally, when Aslan came back, Renoir did intend to invite He Kui to go with him, but at the moment, no one was free. "There will always be a chance."

"That's all I can do. I wish you good luck with your research."

After Renoir finished speaking, she ended the communication, but He Kui couldn't sit idle at this time.

"what happened?"

Seeing He Kui coming out with a serious look on his face, Shihe said worriedly.

"Biological invasion."

He Kui looked at the people at the scene and sent out the information without hiding it.

"Those Federal dogs!"

First, after reading the information, he immediately cursed.

"That's right! This is too self-defeating! It's simply crazy!"

After Su Lei said this, even Meiling and Luna's faces turned red with anger.

"Then our food."

In fact, what Meiling wants to ask is whether or not to stockpile food. However, from the perspective of the people of PLANT, stockpiling food is indeed a bad idea.

“Don’t do anything else.”

If he was still a commoner before, of course he could have hoarded it.

You can even make a small fortune.

But it’s different now. He is a member of parliament. If he hoards food because of advance information, he will be attacked by political opponents.

And based on his understanding of Patrick, if he knew that someone had hoarded food in advance because of advance intelligence, he would definitely reveal it later.

"There's enough food, don't worry."

He Kui comforted.

The prototype of the hydroponic cabin is on the asteroid. Although the output is not high, it is completely self-sufficient.

Moreover, although it is estimated that food prices will not fall as the production lines are rolled out, they will at least stabilize.

After a simple meal, He Kui returned to the radar room.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time he and Luna still didn't make much progress.

In the past half month, he had been either staying in the radar room to check data with Cagalli, or directing the June City agricultural satellite to start large-scale construction of hydroponic cabins.

As biological invasions become more severe every day, all countries except the Atlantic Federation are in a state of panic.

Because of this move, the Atlantic Federation was almost isolated.

Why is it almost? Because most of the Eurasian Federation is in the hands of the Atlantic Federation.

Moreover, many countries that are unable to grow food have become increasingly close to the Atlantic Federation.

As for East Asia, they reacted quickly and installed various protective measures. It is also said that they dispatched many MSs, the total number of which is no less than the army size of PLANT and the Atlantic Federation. This also made everyone silently have a better understanding of the strength of East Asia.

The remaining Orb was also in a food crisis at this time, but because it was an island country, its defense was simpler than other inland countries, so it could barely maintain it.

However, the situation is still not optimistic. Even Cagalli, who usually has a smile on her face, now has a frown on her face.

Although ordinary people are not starving to death at the moment, everyone has a vague feeling that things are going to change. The suicide rate and unemployment rate around the world have increased significantly.

It seems that in addition to the war, there is an invisible haze covering everyone's heart.

He Kui came out of the radar room again. As soon as he returned to the room, he saw the familiar Le Roux reporting the news on TV.

[Recently, the grain market in PLANT has encountered an unprecedented impact, and grain prices have risen sharply, causing widespread concern and worry among the public. According to official statistics from PLANT]

[The reasons for the current surge in food prices are complex and varied. The frequent occurrence of extreme biological invasions around the world, coupled with the return of the El Niño phenomenon, has led to crop yield reductions in many major food producing countries around the world, which in turn has affected the supply stability of the global food market. ]

[Many families have had to cut back on spending and reduce food consumption to cope with the high cost of living. Some low-income families are even facing food shortages and their living conditions are worrying.]

[In order to alleviate the food crisis, the government has recently launched a food reserve plan to stabilize market prices by releasing reserve grain. In addition, relevant measures to deal with this biological invasion are currently being studied intensively. ]

[And the target is directly pointed at the Atlantic Federation.]
