[On the seventh day, the frequency of mirages increased]
[You don’t need to look for it deliberately]
[It is easy to see mirages in the sky]
The situation is getting worse.
At the beginning, if he wanted to find a mirage, he had to take a flight, but now he can see the mirage just by looking up.
However, no disaster has occurred so far and the lives of people on Earth have not been affected at all.
This is completely different from the previous two doomsdays.
Wang Ran felt completely puzzled.
[On the eighth day, the frequency of mirages increased]
[…]
[On the ninth day, the frequency of mirages increased]
[…]
[On the tenth day, the frequency of mirages increased]
[…]
[…]
Lines of text flew past Wang Ran's eyes. Apart from the increasing frequency of mirages, nothing else happened.
Until half a month later.
[Day 22: Progress in national research]
The State Contacted You
[You learned that the mirages that occurred during this period were not chaotic and disordered. Each mirage corresponds to a place in reality, and the correlation between all mirages at the same time and their real bodies is consistent.]
[Researchers show you two models of the Earth]
[The researchers put one of the Earth models into another Earth model, then changed the correspondence between the two Earth models by shaking them, and finally pierced them with a needle]
[“A mirage formed where the needle passed through.”]
[“Rather than a mirage, it’s more like a projection of another Earth on our Earth.”]
Another Earth
Wang Ran was shocked.
He had never thought of that.
You discuss with researchers
[You learn that researchers cannot be sure whether another Earth exists, but they made a map based on mirages that appeared at the same time, and the results are exactly the same as the map of Earth]
Wang Ran felt incredible.
According to researchers' speculation, there may be two Earths now, and countless "needles" pass through the two Earths, projecting the scenery on one Earth onto the other.
But how is this possible
Is there another Earth exactly the same as this one
[You learn that the positional deviation between the mirage and its real body is getting smaller and smaller. After a while, the mirage may appear directly above its real body.]
Wang Ran was silent.
If the researchers' "needle" theory is correct, then there are two Earths now, and the two Earths are out of sync.
Point A on Earth No. 1 corresponds to Point B on Earth No. 2. Therefore, when the "needle" passes through the two Earths, it projects the scene at Point A on Earth No. 1 onto Point B on Earth No. 2, creating a phenomenon similar to a mirage.
If these projections appear above the real body, it means that the two Earths are synchronized.
Next up…
A flash of enlightenment arose in Wang Ran's mind.
Until the two Earths are synchronized, there will only be more and more mirages on Earth, and no disasters will occur.
This is the calm before the storm.
The real storm will come the moment the two earths are synchronized!
You continue to discuss with researchers.
[You learn that at the current rate of change, the mirage will overlap with reality in half a year.]
[You go to the World Hub to search for information]
You try to find an explanation
You failed
[You did not find any relevant information]
[You call Lu]
You told him everything you knew.
[He activated the "divine calculation"]
[“This disaster has something to do with you!”]
Wang Ran was stunned.
Does this doomsday have anything to do with him as the savior
What does it have to do with it
Mirage... Another Earth...
Wang Ran frowned.
He hasn't done anything recently. If you insist that this doomsday has something to do with him, and it caused such a big commotion...
Explore the mysteries!
It could only be because of this incident.
"The Yuanxing Ancestor Vein wants to merge the secondary space that was separated from the Earth with the Earth. Is this the reason why a new doomsday has occurred?"
Wang Ran felt very confused.
If this doomsday was caused by his exploration of the mysteries, then when the Yuanxing Ancestor Vein merged the secondary space and the earth, didn’t it anticipate what would happen next
The end of the world has come, and it doesn't take action
And how could an identical Earth appear after the fusion of the secondary space
[Lu fainted]
[You had Lu carried away]
You decide to wait and see.
He could call Anna over and have her take him into the secondary space to find out what was going on, but the main purpose of his simulation this time was to understand this doomsday, so he was not in a hurry to dig deeper.
Wait and see what happens next.
[Day 23, mirages become more frequent]
The state can no longer suppress public opinion
[Public opinion is boiling]
People demand explanation from the state
The state has asked for your opinion.
[You think that the main focus at this stage should be on appeasement and that no negative information should be disclosed, especially information about the mirage that could cause the end of the world]
The country has adopted your opinion.
[On the 24th day, various countries held a secret meeting]
[All countries unanimously agreed to take special measures to control public opinion and prevent large-scale panic]
[The storm on the Internet has temporarily subsided]
[Undercurrent among the people]
It is more difficult to guard against the people's mouths than to guard against the river, but the doomsday crisis is at hand, so there is nothing to worry about.
Suppress public opinion first to prevent chaos.
If the doomsday crisis does not break out afterwards, everyone will be happy. If it breaks out, everyone can spend the last period before the end of the world in peace.
[Day 25, mirages become more frequent]
[…]
[Day 32, mirages become more frequent]
[…]
[On the 44th day, the density of mirages reached a new peak, the sunlight was significantly blocked, and agricultural production and animal and plant activities were disrupted]
Mirages are occurring more and more frequently, to the point where they block out even the sun.
If this pace continues, even if nothing happens in the end and the mirage only blocks the sunlight, the Earth will still face a wave of mass extinction of species.
[…]
[Day 67, mirages become more frequent]
[…]
[…]
As Wang Ran expected, nothing happened except a mirage before the two earths were synchronized, but the mirage itself brought big trouble to the earth.
For unknown reasons, sunlight is greatly weakened after passing through a mirage.
As time goes by, mirages occur more and more frequently, cover larger areas, and less sunlight reaches the earth.
[Day 74, a super-large mirage appeared]
These mirages can be seen everywhere.
[They can cover an entire city, making it as dark as dusk, causing strong concerns among ordinary people]
[…]
[Day 78, a bigger mirage appeared]
[…]
[On the 92nd day, the frequency of mirages increased further. Nearly a quarter of the Earth's surface was covered by mirages every minute and every second. The amount of sunlight received by the Earth decreased by 10%]
[The scientific community is discussing the subsequent impact]
[…]
[Day 109, Mirages are more frequent]
[Increase in snowfall in high latitudes]
[The frozen zone moves to lower latitudes]
[Surface reflectivity increased]
The amount of heat the Earth receives from sunlight drops further
[According to climatologists, as more carbon dioxide is absorbed by the cryosphere and lithosphere, the water vapor content in the air decreases, and the cooling will intensify.]
Wang Ranmei locked her eyes tightly.
He didn't understand science, but he knew that the earth's vitality mainly came from the sun.
If the amount of sunlight received by the Earth decreases by 10%, at least 10% of life on Earth will be destroyed. Moreover, the reduction in sunlight will definitely affect the yield of food crops, and the population will also drop sharply.
The end of the world is coming.
[Day 110, the United Nations holds a press conference]
[Several well-known climatologists attended]
[At the press conference, they predicted an unprecedented ice age and issued a danger warning to all countries and regions]
[The news spread quickly]
[People are panicking, and many areas are in chaos]
[On the 111th day, the United Nations announced a response plan]
[Dungeon Project Launched]
[The United Nations plans to build thousands of large underground cities in various regions. The project is expected to be completed within ten years. By then, humans will move underground to survive and use geothermal energy to continue civilization until they get through this strange ice age.]
Comments on the plan were polarized
[Underdeveloped regions that do not have the ability to build underground cities question the reliability of the underground city plan. At the same time, some developed countries have begun pre-selling admission to the underground city.]
"Dungeon..."
If it is just a great ice age, the underground city plan can indeed enable the people on Earth to survive this disaster. Even as long as the current disaster does not continue to worsen, humans can survive this disaster even if they stay on the surface.
But this doomsday is clearly not just an ice age.
The two Earths are still slowly synchronizing with each other. The Ice Age is just a debuff that comes with the synchronization. The real test will be when the synchronization is completed.
[Day 112: Public Opinion Surges]
[The qualifications to enter the underground cities of developed countries were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves. Ordinary people who failed to purchase the qualifications or could not afford to purchase the qualifications expressed strong resentment and indignation about this.]
If this incident happened before the resentment crisis, it would definitely add fuel to the resentment crisis.
[Day 113: The country asks for your opinion]
[The state has introduced the situation to you]
[You learned that the country plans to build an underground city under each city]
You approve this plan.
[You order the Dawn Apostles to help the country build an underground city]
[Second Master Accepted the Mission]
[On the 114th day, Master II purchased a batch of equipment from the World Hub. These equipment came from a cave-dwelling civilization. Each set of equipment only takes three months to build an underground city that can accommodate a million people.]
[The construction of the underground city is in full swing]
[Day 115, the state reports to you on the latest progress]
[You learn that the synchronization speed of the two Earths is gradually slowing down, and it is expected to be completed in a year. According to the frequency increase rate of the mirage, the sunlight will completely disappear in half a year.]
If the sun cannot be restored
[Humanity does not rule out becoming a cave-dwelling civilization]
The real doomsday hasn't even begun yet, but the people on Earth have been driven underground. When the two Earths are synchronized, won't the people on Earth disappear from the Earth
Wang Ran estimated that this doomsday would be a mass extinction.
No one can survive the doomsday, not even himself, and what he wants to know most now is how this doomsday will come about
What happens after the two Earths are synchronized
