Chapter 188: Hidden crisis

With the help of Qin Lan and Ding Ning, the work in the refuge was completed much faster than usual when Chen Xin was alone.
The work that originally took Chen Xin a whole day to finish was already finished in one morning under the joint efforts of the three people.
"I didn't expect someone to help, things can be done so quickly, so that you will be fine in the afternoon." After lunch, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh, and it was really easy for someone to help.
Hearing Chen Xin's words, Ding Ning couldn't help but joked at him: "Axin said that, it seems that he wants someone to stay! Then do you want me and Sister Lan to stay? Or just want Sister Lan to stay alone? Coming down?"
Ding Ning's words made Chen Xin and Qin Lan feel a little bit shy, but Chen Xin still shook his head and said, "I want you both to stay and live, but it would be inconvenient for you two to go to work?"
Although Chen Xin’s vehicle upgrade is already in progress, considering the distance between Chen Xin’s shelter and the city, even if his SUV is upgraded to an ATV, it is still not a convenient way to drive them to work. s Choice.
After all, even if the vehicle has been remodeled, frequent driving out in this environment is still a troublesome thing, and it is not a safe choice.
So Ding Ning was just joking. After Chen Xin said so, he skipped the topic.
Seeing Ding Ning skipped this topic, Chen Xin didn't mind that the three of them were still chatting about other topics while eating lunch.
"Axin, what are you planning to do this afternoon?" Qin Lan asked Chen Xin about his afternoon arrangements.
She is not an idle person, and in this environment, having nothing to do is a very tormenting thing.
"I plan to continue to play with my car in the afternoon and modify it." Chen Xin answered Qin Lan's question, and also asked her: "Alan, what are you and Xiaoding going to do this afternoon? If you want to play games, games You can play whatever you like."
Facing Chen Xin's politeness, Qin Lan shook her head and said, "Just play games. I want to do some physical training in the afternoon. I have been lying in the hospital for so long before, and I feel like my whole person is rusty."
When Chen Xin heard Qin Lan say this, he didn't stop her from thinking. He just told Qin Lan to pay attention to the wound and didn't say much.
On the other hand, Ding Ning expressed his interest in remodeling cars and wanted to see how Chen Xin did it. He also called it personal protection of Chen Xin.
Hearing Ding Ning's words, Chen Xin didn't stop her either. After all, Ding Ning was also sent to protect him, so there is nothing wrong with guarding him.
After lunch, Ding Ning took the initiative to wash the dishes, while Qin Lan went back to the bedroom, ready to take a break to start the afternoon restorative physical training, while Chen Xin sat in front of the computer in his bedroom and checked the design of the vehicle transformation. Figure, by the way, I also opened the monitor to check the situation outside.
The snow at the gate of the refuge has a tendency to deepen again. From the camera's point of view, almost half of the gate of the Chenxin refuge has been submerged by snow.
This is not all snowfall from the sky. Although the city is adjacent to the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake, precipitation is abundant throughout the year, but with the further decrease in temperature, most of the newly formed snow is not from the sky, but from other places. The snow was blown by the wind everywhere, and there was the remaining snow.
This also reflects from the side how bad the weather is today. Without sunlight, the atmospheric circulation also loses its power source, which makes the climate worse.
The vegetation on the surface was also burned out in the previous fires. Today's environmental vegetation is impossible to regenerate. The wind has lost its obstruction and restraint, and it has become more and more violent.
Under this environment, human survival will only become more difficult.
Perhaps now because of the material reserves before the disaster and the national system is still there, it can still ensure that most people who survived can ensure basic living conditions and even have further improvement in living conditions, but this does not mean Everything is over, the next step is post-disaster reconstruction, and everything is going for the better.
Take this city as an example. At first glance, everything in this city seems to be functioning normally, except that the surface cannot live and people must live in underground shelters. Everything seems to be recovering.
The roads between the various shelters are open, and the supply of food and various materials is guaranteed. As long as the people in the various shelters in the urban area are willing to work, they will always have a meal, even if they are not willing to do dangerous work, they are just taking refuge. You won’t starve to death if you look for work.
But all the prerequisites for this are all based on the fact that the city's material supply is not problematic.
The food is okay. Before the disaster, the city had a granary with a large amount of food. After the disaster, the official planting area and various shelters planted mushrooms, raised rats and breadworms, which can more or less ensure food self-sufficiency, although There are only a few types of food, but at least you can guarantee that you won’t die from starvation.
But the supply of other materials is very problematic, especially the supply of coal.
The city is located on the banks of Dongting Lake. Before the disaster, it was indeed surrounded by mountains and rivers. It can be called a beautiful scenery and beautiful environment. Chen Xin still remembers that a colleague of his mother was from the Northeast because he met the city at school. The companies that hired workers were attracted by the beautiful scenery of Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower described in the poems and came to this city.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot be eaten as a meal, let alone burnt.
Before the disaster, the dense vegetation and forests of the city could be cut down for firewood, but after the disaster of the end, there was not much to burn on the surface.
In addition, there are no coal resources within the city, and all coal depends on being transported by railway. Once railway transportation is interrupted, the city's coal supply will be cut off...
The consequences can be imagined by gamers who have played the ice age. In the case of minus 70 degrees, there will be a large number of frostbite and severely ill patients requiring amputation in two days. Some people will be frozen to death.
Underground shelters can certainly play a role in preventing cold and warmth, blocking part of the intrusion of cold, but in addition to heating, most of the coal transported into the city is transported to power plants for power generation.
This is not the eighteenth century in the game. At that time, human beings did not use electricity on a large scale. The lack of electricity will not have any impact on life. But for modern humans, the absence of electricity is the same as the absence of coal in the steam age. , All production and life will be affected or even stagnated.
Especially now that people live in underground shelters, where ventilation, heating, lighting, cooking, boiling water... It can be said that all aspects of life are extremely dependent on power supply, and large shelters require electricity to maintain oxygen generation equipment. And planting operations.
It can be said that once the external supply of coal resources is interrupted, relying on the city’s existing coal reserves, the temporary emergency may be able to support a few days, but if the time is long and a power outage crisis is triggered, the city will appear in less than three days. The crisis of the death of a large number of people in the shelter.
For Chen Xin, after the nuclear battery was manufactured through the system, he has now got rid of the trouble of electricity. After all, no matter how high the energy consumption of his refuge is, it cannot reach the exaggerated point of 150KW. He only needs to Connecting a nuclear battery in the power distribution room of the refuge can guarantee the electricity demand of the whole refuge.
But Chen Xin does not feel that other people are the same as himself just because there is no security threat in his current living environment.
The smooth life in the urban area is actually like a fragile soap bubble or a castle on the beach. It looks really beautiful, but a big wave hits and any crisis may destroy it.
Chen Xin only hopes that he is unreasonably worried, and that the city government has enough capacity to deal with the crisis.
Otherwise, like this terrorist attack, if the terrorists are not going to attack the shelter, but use the gunpowder used for suicide attacks to destroy the railway ~ EbookFREE.me ~ I am afraid the city at this moment The district has become messy.
Thinking of this, Chen Xin's expression changed abruptly, and he stood up awkwardly, and the worries in his heart became stronger and stronger.
However, he sat down again after thinking about it. After all, this was a problem he could think of, and he didn't believe that people in the city could not think of it.
Moreover, railway transportation is the top priority for this city and even this province, especially the materials transported from Hubei province into this province must pass through this city. If someone destroys the railway, it will be a nightmare.
Therefore, Chen Xin felt that the municipal government, and even the provincial government, should have taken precautions against such things, and it would not be easy for people to damage the railway.
And it doesn’t make much sense to simply blow up the railroad tracks. It’s nothing more than a delay of a few hours for workers to replace the damaged rails and sleepers. At the level of modern industrial infrastructure, it may take a while to rebuild a railway, but if Just repairing a small section of damaged rails, it really takes less than a few hours.
It's just that Chen Xin was still a little worried, so he left the room to find Ding Ning, and told her about his worry.
"So Axin, do you think those terrorists might damage the railway and threaten the safety of the city and the railway transportation lines of the whole province?" Ding Ning understood what Chen Xin meant, but the expression on his face was much more serious than Chen Xin. Had to repeatedly confirm with Chen Xin.
Chen Xin also said seriously to Ding Ning with a serious attitude: "Regardless of whether they are aware of the problem or not, since we have discovered the problem, it is better to inform your dad, otherwise, in case something really goes wrong, the matter will be serious. ."
When Chen Xin said this, Ding Ning also nodded: "Then I will contact my dad immediately."
