January 1, 2107, New Year's Day.

Siam, Bangkok.

Even in popular areas, I feel a little cold when I walk around the streets and alleys.

Many of the Bangkok residents who just got up are a little uncomfortable. They have been accustomed to the high temperature and rainy weather all year round for a long time. Now this climate similar to the subtropical one really makes them unaccustomed.

Li Kang, who was working in the construction project of the grain reserve warehouse outside the city, had just gotten up from his bed. As soon as he opened the northward window, a cold wind blew into his face.

The sudden cold wind made him shudder involuntarily, with goose bumps all over his body, and he quickly put on the multi-functional daily clothing distributed by the company.

When you put on multi-functional clothing, the cold feeling gradually fades away.

In fact, the temperature in Bangkok was not too low at this time, about 12 to 20 degrees Celsius, but this is the first time Li Kang has encountered such a low temperature since he was born.

He hurriedly brushed his teeth and washed his face, then walked towards the bus stop on the side of the road. When he arrived at the station, several acquaintances greeted each other.

"Gagong, it's so cold today!" The slightly fat young man on the side rubbed his hands and spoke.

Li Kang reminded, "I said it, my name is Li Kang, don't call that name again."

"Uh..." The slightly fat young man shrugged helplessly.

The name change is already very common among the younger generation of Siam, especially the fact that Chinese have lived in the local area for thousands of years, and both sides have more or less mixed races.

This has led to many Siamese people who are keen on tracing their ancestors to make them relate to their local Chinese in order to act more like local Chinese, and then change their names.

According to his father, Li Kang's ancestors were the Li family of the Tang Dynasty royal family. Anyway, this kind of thing is really hard to explain.

Anyone who has nothing to do can talk about it, not to mention that in areas like Siam, where there are a large number of Chinese living, it is really easy to get involved.

After Li Kang changed his name, he has always been very concerned about this matter and emphasized the new name whenever he meets everyone, which is a bit crazy.

There are actually quite a few Siamese people like Li Kang.

Taking the old-fashioned bus, as an affiliate of the federal government, although Siam's economy is developing rapidly, the gap between the rich and the poor is still relatively serious.

This large-scale infrastructure plan is to rebalance the local gap between the rich and the poor and make it truly prosperous for all people.

The diesel engine of the bus roared slightly, and a stream of black smoke was spewing at the rear of the car, heading towards the construction site of the China National Grain Storage Warehouse in the northern suburbs.

I walked and stopped along the way, and finally arrived outside the huge construction site half an hour later.

Li Kang and the fat man walked down and then came to the cafeteria on the construction site. Many people had arrived and were having a meal and chatting.

After taking a bowl of hot beef noodles, Li Kang saw several coworkers with good relationships and sat aside.

On the TV program in the cafeteria, this global ice and snow weather is playing. The special panoramic view of the planet looking down from above the northern hemisphere makes these tropical erectus seem to feel the ancient memory in their genes.

"Add...well! Akang." The fat man reacted: "Do you think it will snow here?"

"Probably not!" Li Kang replied with some uncertainty.

"If it snows too, I might be frozen to death." The fat man said exaggeratedly.

Haha... Several workers around started to tease.

Jin Sikuan, who was transferred from the local area, smiled and shook her head: "Xiaopang, don't worry, Bangkok will build the Dome system in a few years. Even if it enters the Ice Age, you won't worry about being frozen."

"The Qionglu System? Is it the kind of large greenhouse city in the northern region?" Li Kang asked with some uncertainty.

"Yes, Akang, you still have some insight." Jin Sikuan nodded.

Li Kang took a sip of the soup and asked with a little concern: "Brother Jin, I heard from the Internet that if the global cold continues, agriculture in the mid- and high-latitude areas may be greatly affected. Is there really no problem with the federal food supply?"

Jin Sikuan, who knows the Federal Reserve, smiled and said, "Don't worry, the federal reserved food is enough for everyone to eat for three years. Moreover, many agricultural factories have been built in the northern region. Even if the ice is over six months, it will not affect the normal grain supply."

"Everyone has eaten for 3 years?" Xiaopang's knowledge-poor mind seemed to be unable to imagine what a huge number of them.

Jin Sikuan pointed at the construction site outside the window with chopsticks: "If the grain warehouse we are building is fully stocked with grain, it will be enough for everyone in Bangkok to eat for about 5 years. Now I understand how many there are!"

"So awesome!"

"My dad went to his hometown in Chiang Mai a few days ago and bought a lot of food. He said he would prevent the price increase of food. It seems that there is no need to worry now."

"Haha, so did my mother. She bought a lot of them, and I don't know how to finish the meal next?"

Others were also talking.

After breakfast, everyone was wearing exoskeletons and began to operate engineering equipment according to their respective positions.

Large construction sites like this are everywhere in Southeast Asia.

But for the entire Blue Star, the internal construction of the Federation is somewhat independent, and other forces are still arguing internally, being an ostrich, just by hand.

This may be the unevenness of the world!

Hasegawa, who had been traveling from Tiangong Space Station for a week, returned to the ground of Blue Star, and rested in Seed Island Space City for another month.

Afterwards, he and Brian, a tourist from Xizhou, visited Japan and Goryeo, and then arrived at Tongliao in the eastern part of Mongolia.

In the snow and ice, the Tongliao urban area wrapped in the dome system is like a paradise that is independent.

Brian stood on the rooftop sightseeing platform of the central building. Although the thick floor-to-ceiling glass blocked the blizzard outside, he could still feel how cold it was outside.

Hasegawa handed him a cup of hot ginger tea: "Next, I plan to go to the Lingnan area. What are your plans?"

After taking the ginger tea, the cup was warm, unable to warm his inner depression and pain:

"Austria must be like Tongliao now, frozen by ice and snow, but there is a warm greenhouse here, but my hometown can only resist the blizzard naked."

Hasegawa knew Brian's pain, but he had no choice: "Brien, it is basically impossible to eliminate the contradictions within human civilization, let everyone put aside their prejudices and unite to fight the global cold."

"..." Brian remained silent. Although the Federation had technology to solve it, the question was why the Federation wanted to save other forces?

In this fierce confrontational world, the Federation has no reason to save the world. Even if it lends a helping hand, some ungrateful wolves may appear.

Brian did not blame the Federation because it was their own choice. Since he chose this path, he could not blame others.

At the same time, he also knew that he was not qualified. Everyone was not a relative or acquaintance. Why should he use real money to help and invest these resources into internal construction? Isn’t that good?

Drink the ginger tea in my hand: "Mr. Hasegawa, please use Lingnan as my last stop!"

"No problem." Hasegawa nodded.

Outside the window, the snow-covered Tongliao urban area is like a mountain in the grassland outside the border.

This cold weather has not affected the city protected by the dome. The residents are like living in the spring season. This is the power of technology.
