After Xia Lan and others took a comfortable hot shower and put on clean clothes in the guest house, they gathered in the lobby downstairs to wait for the car to pick them up. Wei Xu carefully looked at his spotless fingernails and sighed:

"At this moment, I really felt why the symbol of human civilization is boiling water. You see, with hot water, we immediately changed from unkempt primitive people back to well-dressed civilized people."

Everyone laughed. Suddenly, the ground shook slightly with the "clatter" of tables, chairs and cups. Wei Xu was startled:

"Earthquake!"

Several people subconsciously ran out of the hall. When they rushed to the roadside in panic, the earthquake was almost over. Looking around again, neither the staff in the hall nor the pedestrians on the roadside responded.

It was as if nothing had happened just now.

While several people were looking at each other blankly, a car stopped on the side of the road. The major got out of the car and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, you guys, small earthquakes of magnitude 3-4 are very common here, and even in the entire Sichuan River. They happen from time to time every day."

"Has it always been like this?" Xia Lan asked.

"No, it just started in the past ten or twenty years. Experts from the Earthquake Bureau believe that after the polar ice caps melted, the rising sea level imposed additional loads on the oceanic plates. The potential energy needs to be released, and there are many problems around our entire Sichuan Basin.

It is a fault zone, and frequent earthquakes of this magnitude should be a normal phenomenon."

"Oh, that's right." Xia Lan nodded doubtfully. After all, the causes and predictions of earthquakes were a major problem in the natural sciences before the crisis era.

"If everyone is ready, let's set off." The major opened the rear door.

Along the way, the city looks orderly, with not many pedestrians and vehicles on the road. Barricades are erected at intersections, and soldiers on guard can be seen everywhere, just like at the end of the crisis era.

After leaving the city, there were patches of tents on both sides of the road. They were arranged like rows of tofu cubes, very neatly. Soon, the car came to a checkpoint, and after showing the pass letter, the car continued to set off.

.

"Since last month, the number of teams entering Sichuan has begun to increase. There are no longer enough places to accommodate so many people in city buildings, and they can only be accommodated in tent areas.

Now, the total population of the tent area has exceeded the original population of Sichuan. The pressure on survival resources is very high. In addition to preparing for possible attacks at any time, we must also carry out production and self-rescue. Every system is running near the red line, and order has become

It is particularly important, any turmoil will be paid in blood." The major explained.

"It seems that Sichuan has become an isolated island of civilization. We should really protect it." Xia Lan sighed.

In the evening, the drizzle suddenly turned into a heavy downpour. The flash of lightning, the thunder and the sound of rain hitting the roof of the car woke up everyone who was already sleeping in the car.

"We will arrive in Chengdu soon." said the major driving the car.

Wei Xu rubbed his sleepy eyes:

"Didn't I say that the weather in Chengdu is nice? Why is it raining so heavily?"

The major smiled:

"You will find out soon enough."

A few minutes later, the rainstorm stopped suddenly, and the bright starry sky shrouded their heads. Looking back, the clouds and mountains churning with thunder and lightning seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall. The huge arc-shaped cloud wall surrounded them.

Looking at the brightly lit city of Rongcheng ahead.

As the car drove through the streets, lights were on in every building. Barricades were still erected on the streets and soldiers were on guard. They even saw combat mechs arranged neatly with uniform postures.

"Look, the soldiers are all wearing power armor, and the combat armor doesn't look damaged!" Wei Xu exclaimed.

"When the electromagnetic pulse storm occurred, I happened to be in Chengdu. The thunderclouds in the sky dissipated before they gathered. Other places outside of Chengdu were still hit by the electromagnetic pulse storm, which burned high-precision chips and part of the substation system. But I

Listening to the troops who retreated from other places describe their experiences, in comparison, the losses in the entire Sichuan River are indeed not that great."

The car stopped in front of a building, and several people were already waiting here. After getting off the car, a thin man in his fifties came up to him with a smile on his face:

"Dr. Xia Lan, welcome you and your colleagues to Sichuan! I am the general scientific advisor of the Western Theater Command, and my name is Zhang Hefu."

After exchanging simple greetings, everyone followed Zhang Hefu to the office upstairs.

After making hot tea, everyone sat around the table. Zhang Hefu said with a smile:

The first release of this book: Tadu Novel App - free and ad-free, and you can interact with book friends.

"After losing contact with the Central Theater Command and the National Academy of Sciences, in order to better provide support for operations in terms of science and technology, we organized a Western Theater Science Committee, with me temporarily serving as chairman. We happen to lack senior talents in astronomy. Your

It’s great to have arrived.”

Xia Lan held a luxurious hot tea:

"I remember that there was an astronomical observatory in Sichuan that was affiliated with the National Astronomical Observatory. One of my college classmates worked there and his academic ability was also very outstanding."

Chairman Zhang smiled and nodded:

"Well, you should be talking about Director Qian. He also graduated from Qingbei University. He and his colleagues are indeed excellent. But last year, they were all urgently transferred to Beijing for reinforcements. Until now."

Chairman Zhang paused and then said:

"There are only a few young observers in their early twenties left in astronomical observatories now. They are very serious and responsible in completing observation tasks and recording observation data, but they lack experience and analytical capabilities."

When Xia Lan heard Chairman Zhang talking about "observation missions", she raised her eyebrows:

"Chairman Zhang, you mean, do we still have observation equipment here?"

Chairman Zhang nodded:

The original text comes from the Tadu Novel app. For more free and good books, please download the Tadu Novel app.

"After the spore swarms and ice fragments entered low-Earth orbit, the space observation equipment was gone. However, ground observatories have always maintained real-time monitoring of low-Earth orbit."

After hearing the news, several people were very excited. Wei Xu asked:

"I heard from the officer who sent us here that Chengdu was not hit by an electromagnetic pulse storm. I remember that Shuchuan also deployed a phased array air warning radar, which is near Chengdu. Can that radar still be used?"

Chairman Zhang frowned slightly:

"Most urban areas in Chengdu have indeed not been hit by electromagnetic pulse storms, and only a small part of the southwest part of the city has been affected. However, the phased array radar station is built in the southwest suburbs of the city, and the radar array uses a large number of 3-nanometer chips.

This kind of chip is basically completely burned, and we currently do not have the ability to produce this kind of chip."

Xia Lan's face darkened:

"The High Energy Particle Research Center and the 'Super Eastern Ring' are in the northeastern suburbs of the city, right?"

Chairman Zhang nodded slowly.

"The weather in Chengdu and the entire Sichuan River can avoid heavy losses. Is it all related to the High Energy Particle Research Center?" Xia Lan asked, and everyone looked at Chairman Zhang with wide eyes.

Chairman Zhang was silent for a while with a complicated expression and said:

The first site for this novel is: Tadu Novel App

"In times of crisis, the High Energy Particle Research Center is a scientific research institution directly managed by the central government. Our local scientific research units in Shuchuan have no jurisdiction. After losing contact with the central government, the Western Theater Science Committee we established actually

It does not include the Center for Particle Physics and High Energy Particle Research.

I'm not a high-energy physics major. I can't answer you about the relationship between high-energy particle research centers, meteorology and losses. Whatever the reason, the current situation is that Sichuan has indeed become the last habitat of human civilization. Our priority

Our job is to do everything we can to protect this place.”

Although everyone was confused, they didn't ask any more questions.

"Chairman Zhang, where is the astronomical observatory in Shuchuan? Let's go there as soon as possible." Xia Lan said.

The gentle smile returned to Chairman Zhang's face. He took out a stack of documents and handed them over:

"This is your check-in pass. You also know the current situation in Shuchuan. The pressure on resource allocation is very high, so the order management is very strict. With this certificate, you can go anywhere you want to go smoothly. Except for high-energy particles

Research center, you need a special pass from the war zone to enter."

As soon as a few people took over the certificates, the door and window of the office shook and made a "dinging" sound. Everyone stood up immediately. Chairman Zhang smiled and told everyone not to be nervous.

The earthquake lasted less than two seconds and ended. Chairman Zhang said:

"The Astronomical Observatory is located in Guan County, northwest of Rongcheng. You can rest today. I will transfer a car to you tomorrow."

Several people walked out of the building and headed to the dormitory. Wei Xu stretched out and looked at the night sky:

“It’s been a long time since I took a relaxing walk and looked at the stars.”

Halfway through his words, he stopped. Xia Lan looked up and exclaimed:

"Where's the star ring?"
