Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 268 cruel reality

Chen Xin did not stay in the three towns for a long time. He helped the researchers upgrade their equipment a second time. Then he got a set of finished products and installed them on his car, and upgraded the radar on the car into a signal base station. Left the three towns.

However, because of the cooperation relationship with the country, he also had a staff member sent by a scientific research institution in his car.

The main task of this staff member is to be in charge of communication and contact with Chen Xin, because in this situation, before the communication network is re-established, it is very troublesome to contact Chen Xin from the three towns, so they must Send someone to follow Chen Xin, and after knowing where he is, establish a stable communication channel through local official agencies.

Moreover, after establishing cooperation with Chen Xin, the state also needs to send the equipment and materials that need to be upgraded to Chen Xin through local official agencies, which also requires a thorough investigation of the local transportation, communication, scientific research and industrial production capacity.

If the foundation of the city where Chen Xin is located is too poor, it may be necessary to persuade Chen Xin to move or strengthen the local infrastructure. These are all issues that need to be considered.

Therefore, in order to better cooperate with Chen Xin, the scientific research institution simply sent staff to follow Chen Xin to go on a field trip to find out the specific situation.

Chen Xin didn't feel anything about the extra person in the car. After letting the other party get in the car, Chen Xin ignored him. All his attention at this time was reconnected to the Internet, and the information obtained from the Internet was limited. absorb.

Because the radar on the car has been upgraded to a signal base station, Chen Xin can already access the network currently being used by scientific research institutions, although this network currently only covers three towns and places that can be physically networked with scientific research institutions in the three towns. However, Chen Xin still obtained a lot of information from the above through the authority granted to him by the scientific research institution.

"National population containment statistics..." Chen Xin browsed the information on this internal network through the operation console, and found a title that made him very concerned.

Chen Xin clearly remembered that the country's population before the disaster had reached 1.4 billion, but three months before the meteorite fell, the national evacuation plan estimated that the population could be 1.2 billion.

And according to what he read on this page, before the meteorite hit, only 80% of the population was contained in the entire country.

This is a pretty brutal statistic.

Of the 1.4 billion people, fewer than 960 million managed to get into shelters before the disaster.

Nearly a third of the population did not enter shelters.

Perhaps these people were able to escape the first meteorite impact, but the ensuing series of disasters, such as torrential rain, a drop in atmospheric oxygen levels, and extremely cold temperatures, were enough to kill any survivors who did not enter the shelter.

The chances of them surviving are extremely slim, and even if someone is still alive, it can only be regarded as a lingering under the apocalypse.

And what's especially heart-wrenching is that behind this statistic, there is also a statistic on the mortality rate of the refugee population.

Because this is an internal network, the data above are all official internal statistics, and there is no false part, but this is even more uncomfortable.

According to the above statistics, in the first month of the meteorite impact, the death rate of the population inside the shelter was fairly normal, about 3‰, which was much lower than the normal death rate of 7‰. After all, it was possible to enter the shelter. Most of them are young adults who are in good health and are not so easy to die.

However, as time went on, the mortality rate increased significantly. Three months after the meteorite impact, that is, after the temperature dropped below zero, the mortality rate increased significantly, from 3‰ to 8‰.

This is not an unacceptable data. Generally speaking, in the harsh environment of low temperature and severe cold, only this mortality rate is a relatively normal value.

But if you consider that the birth rate of newborns is less than 1 per thousand and the negative population growth exceeds 7 per thousand, this is very scary.

And it’s important to note that this is a national demographic, calculated as an overall average.

However, in fact, the death rate among provinces and regions is extremely uneven!

In large cities such as Sanzhen, due to good basic conditions and sufficient material reserves, the actual population mortality rate has been maintained at about 1~3‰, but before the disaster, they belonged to poverty-stricken areas. The mortality rate is over 1%.

In fact, it is not uncommon for hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to other areas, such as the abandonment of an entire county town that Chen Xin encountered, and such a large-scale population migration will obviously have an impact on the statistical results of the data.

Coupled with the errors caused by the current communication difficulties, the actual situation will only be worse.

In addition, Chen Xin also learned from the website that the impact of the tsunami caused by the meteorite impact and the subsequent impact of the global fire caused all coastal areas in the country to disappear below sea level.

The most severely affected area is the coast of the Bohai Bay. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, where the capital was originally located, has been completely submerged by sea water.

The North China Plain no longer exists because of the terrain, the Northeast Plain was also hit by the tsunami, and the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain became a swamp country.

Three of the four major plains of the Yan Kingdom have now gone, and only the Guanzhong Plain has not been engulfed by the sea.

According to the valuable observation data brought back by Zhang Chengguang and others, the coastline has been advanced from the original Shanghai market to the territory of Anhui Province, and the entire Jiangsu Province has become an underwater world under the ice.

The famous Lu Province peninsula can now be removed from the half-character. It is a veritable island, and other parts of Lu Province are not much better. They are also divided from the land and become an isolated island. Only Changshan can see the land.

Even Chen Xin's hometown of Anhui Province and the Huaibei region in the north have mostly disappeared below sea level.

On the other hand, the impact in the south is not so serious because of the mountains. Most parts of Guangdong and Fujian have not been submerged by the sea because of the mountains. Even Zhejiang, which is adjacent to Jiangsu Province, has preserved most of the land. land.

However, most of the economically developed cities in these areas are close to the sea, especially the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Because of their proximity to the sea, they are among the first areas to be destroyed by the tsunami.

It can be said that the most important food-producing areas and economically developed areas of the Yan Kingdom disappeared in the impact of the tsunami caused by the meteorite impact.

As for the subsequent melting of glaciers and rising sea levels caused by global fires, it was just that the land that had not had time to ebb after the tsunami was completely frozen under the ice.

If you have a basic understanding of the geography and topography of the Yan Kingdom, you can clearly judge that the third step in the entire Yan Kingdom's three ladders has only the Liaodong hills, the Daxing'an Mountains, the Taihang Mountains, the Shandong hills and the Southeast hills. , nowhere else.

As for the first and second steps where the disaster situation is less severe, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau are examples of vast areas and sparsely populated areas, not to mention the Tarim Basin, which is a desolate Gobi and desert, which can barely be called the essence Only the Loess Plateau, the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau exist in the region.

The former first-tier cities, Beishangguang, were all killed in battle, and only three towns and Yucheng are left in the cities of the Yan Kingdom that can be called super cities.

If the country had not evacuated the population of the coastal areas inland before the disaster, I am afraid that the loss of the country's population would not be one-third, but one-half.

Chen Xin now understands why tens of thousands of people can move into a town under a small county like his hometown, because the coastline has already extended to the territory of Anhui Province! A little further east from Anqing is the sea!

Looking at these data and satellite images, Chen Xin's heart was already heavy.

After the disaster, although the days were far worse than before the disaster, Chen Xin's life was not too bad because of the systematic relationship, and the situation in the city where he was located was not too bad to bear, this was unavoidable for Chen Xin A delusion that the situation is not so bad.

Especially after he went to E Province, and saw in Sanzhen that the country was undergoing post-disaster reconstruction in full swing, he even felt that this apocalyptic disaster was nothing, the difficulties were only temporary, and everything would be fine.

But now, seeing one-tenth of the country's land sinking under the sea, one of the three people's population disappeared when the disaster struck, and all the economically developed coastal areas were destroyed by the tsunami, it was clear to Chen Xin. feel that this apocalyptic catastrophe is truly the end of the world.

In fact, even in the city where Chen Xin is located, due to its proximity to Dongting Lake, seawater backflow occurred when the tsunami arrived, and the area of ​​the entire lake area has expanded to the level of Yunmengze in ancient legends.

If it weren't for the fact that the city where Chen Xin is located is a hilly landform with higher terrain, I am afraid that at this moment, it would have completely turned into a swamp country like the Poyang Lake area in the neighboring Jiangxi Province.

This made Chen Xin unable to help sigh that the civilization that took mankind thousands of years to build up was like a castle on the beach in the face of the end-of-the-world natural disaster, and the waves were easily destroyed as soon as it came.

For Yan Guo, most of the economic construction achievements made in the past few decades have been wiped out in this disaster, and everything seems to have gone backward for decades in an instant.

This can't help but create a worry, can we really overcome the immediate difficulties and rebuild our homeland in this disaster?

Chen Xin thought seriously, but he did not despair.

For the people of the Yan Kingdom, we have experienced too much suffering since ancient times, but we have never been knocked down by disasters.

When the sky is broken, I make up stones by myself; when a flood comes, I don’t ask the prophets, I dig rivers and canals by myself; when diseases are popular, I don’t ask for miracles, I try to cure myself; Those who are exposed to the sun will shoot down the sun; in the face of disasters, there will always be people from the Yan Kingdom who will never retreat.

Just like the old saying before the flood, the people of the Yan Kingdom are invincible! We must be able to overcome all suffering and rebuild our home!

At this point, I think the first volume should be finished. If there is a name for this volume, it should be called the arrival of disaster.

Although some plots were not well written, and a lot of unexpected things happened, and some very unpleasant things happened, but the overall results were good, the collection has been growing, and now it has reached 120,000, and the number of subscriptions is also 8,400. , the daily new additions are maintained at at least 18,000, which can be said to be the best book since I wrote the book.

What I want to write about this book is that before the disaster, unite as one, don't give up, and rebuild the beauty of the homeland, so the next volume starts with how the protagonist cooperates with the country to rebuild the homeland.

I hope you can continue to support, and you have seen it here. Why don't you vote for a guaranteed monthly ticket to support it?
