Global Temperature Increase

Dimas spent all afternoon until afternoon replacing the damaged parts of his phone before finally putting the phone in the realisation queue.

[The most basic smartphone item successfully entered the realisation queue, it takes (01.00.00) for the item to be successfully realized]

A Lunar voice rang out as Dimas put the phone into the queue. Dimas restored the laboratory's appearance to its original state and closed the laboratory in his mind. Dimas temporarily abandoned his intention to implant artificial intelligence in his phone as Dimas and his parents are in danger of dying roasted by high temperatures.

It is already night time, it has been more than 6 hours since the Meteor hit the Earth and the radiation due to the meteor collision has weakened so that it can no longer damage electronic equipment. In place of the weakened radiation, global temperatures are already warming. The meteor fragments that fell in the forest caused the forest to burn violently and killed many animals inside, the smoke of the fires flew into the sky along with volcanic ash from volcanic eruptions gathered to block sunlight from reaching the sun.

Although it is nighttime at the Dimas family shelter, the rising temperatures still make the night feel hot. Currently in the equatorial region precisely on the island of Borneo has reached a very terrible 50°C, which is very terrible, fortunately in the family shelter Dimas is below in the depth of the soil so that the temperature on the surface does not have too much impact on the shelter. With air vents that ensure their families do not suffocate the temperature in the room successfully pressed until 37°C is good enough, he said, plus the main room and also both rooms have been added AC which makes the temperature in the room can reach 24°C.

It's just opening up, though, within 1 or 2 days the increase in global temperature will reach its peak where it is estimated that the equatorial region will reach 200°C and the Earth will become a giant oven that roasts all living things. Of course, the government is prepared for this and makes the shelter tens of meters underground so that the temperature outside does not affect the inside of the shelter too much. The Dimas family's private sanctuary is also underground, but the Dimas family's private sanctuary is only 7 meters below ground and is still affected by the weather outside.

The air conditioner used in the Dimas family shelter is just a regular central AC that is fed by electricity from a generator inside the shelter. As the previous owner of a private oil company, the Dimas family had more oil stocks than any other inventory, all of which would be used to fuel generators and also fuel modified RV cars by Dimas' father.

Although the electric charge generated still has excess power after all AC and other electronic equipment is turned on but ordinary central AC will not be able to fight temperatures higher than today. Dimas needed to strengthen the cooling of the AC or find other ways for his family such as evacuating to a cooling room that is usually used to store large quantities of meat.

Dimas thought that evacuating to the cooler was a pretty good idea, though, by the time the Earth's surface reaches a temperature of 200°C the temperature inside the shelter is expected to reach a temperature of 100°C - 120°C and the temperature in the cooling room is expected to still be below normal temperature.

But after some thought Dimas finally shook his head and rejected the idea of evacuating to the cooling room. Dimas thought of himself sleeping next to the still raw meat made a shudder.

"Although the cooling room was still cold but without ventilation in the cooling room is not it the same as suicide?" Dimas muttering.

Dimas then opened a technology bank and looked for what technology could help him to help solve the problem of rising global temperatures this time. Dimas continued searching until he finally found something that he thought was good named "temperature controller" this technology allows the AC to keep the temperature at the desired temperature even in very hot and very cold weather.

"Dimas, let's have dinner, your mother's done cooking" The door opened and Dimas saw his father at the door.

Dimas who had previously wanted to try to learn the "temperature controller" technology canceled it and immediately went to the living room together with his father. Their sanctuary is mostly a multifunctional space like a living room which is currently a combination of the original living room with a dining room and kitchen. The middle room as the name suggests is right in the middle of the shelter, the front that separates the middle room and the entrance is the room where the generator that provides electricity in the shelter, and the, on the left there are two rooms for dimas and his parents and on the right is the greenhouse as a sustainable food source while behind the living room is a warehouse used to store all supplies their families, for toilets and bathrooms are also next to the generator room at the front.

The area of their entire shelter is 15m x 20m which is mostly used for greenhouses where plants are grown. The entire supply is enough for their family to live 3 to 5 years in a makeshift living state even if they can save supplies will be enough for 6 years.

Dimas sees his mother and remembers the previous incident at the entrance of the shelter. Dimas realized that his previous actions were indeed dangerous, especially his mother had lost one child would not want to lose another child.

"Mom" Call Dimas to his mother.

Dimas' mother, who had just sat down, turned to his son and continued to look at him without saying anything. Dimas knew from his mother's current attitude that his mother was still upset with him which made Dimas feel depressed.

"Mom. I'm sorry about my previous actions" Dimas said, but there was no reply from his mother.

"I thoughtlessly walked up to the falling meteorite in front of the house and picked it up.." Dimas continued to explain to his mother while his mother was still listening silently, listening in silence, meanwhile, Dimas' father also listened while eating the food that had been prepared for him. Dimas continued to explain until 15 minutes passed, his father had finished eating and his mother had also eaten from earlier.

"Have your chatter and go to bed quickly!, tomorrow help your father grow vegetables and fruit in the greenhouse" Dimas' mother interrupted Dimas' explanation after he finished eating, he could not stand his son who kept apologizing while explaining at length and decided to stop him.

"Good Mom!" Dimas said happily, His mother had answered his words which meant that he was no longer angry. Therefore Dimas ate voraciously even though the food was cold because it was left too long.

After eating, the family of three sat together in the living room listening to the radio, which was the only place where their family got information about the outside world without having to get out of the shelter. Because of the radiation produced by the previous meteors the entire network has collapsed and caused humans to only be able to use the radio for long-distance communication.

This information is provided by the government directly, the information contained estimates of global temperature increases in the next few days which were the same as the guess Dimas made earlier and government calls to go to official shelters to be safer

"Do we have to move to an official shelter to get past this global temperature rise?" Mother Dimas said anxiously.

Dimas' father also thought about it, they all knew to what extent their refuge was, when global temperatures reach the highest temperature in the next 2 days, it is certain that they are mature if they continue in shelters. According to Dimas' father it is better to move to the nearest official shelter for a while, then once global temperatures start to fall their families will go home to a private shelter.

"That's right, our shelter doesn't have the ability to withstand heat until 200°C, we built this shelter to deal with prolonged winter. We forget that global temperatures will rise hundreds of degrees first before falling to minus temperatures later" Dimas' father said firmly.

The two married men nodded and would go to prepare enough supplies for them to use in the artificial shelter but Dimas suddenly spoke up at this time.

"We can't leave this shelter. Let's increase the AC to make it cooler" Dimas said.
