Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 16: Extreme joy brings sorrow

Views:

Because they were worried that the crisis had not passed yet, the Yanguo government did not allow most of the people who had been evacuated into the shelters to come out of the shelters.

Instead, they took advantage of the period before the meteorite arrived to carry out emergency construction on the unfinished shelters. They wanted to build a few more shelters before the meteorites arrived so that more people could have a place to stay.

At the same time, the Yanguo government is urgently building support facilities to match the shelters, and at the same time reinforcing and transforming a series of important life support facilities such as power plants and water plants to ensure that these facilities can survive possible disasters. disaster.

You must know that if the meteorite really falls, the surface of Blue Star will experience a series of tests including but not limited to earthquakes, fires, meteorite impacts, etc. A series of disasters.

If these support facilities fail, it will have a huge impact on the subsequent survival chances of the people taking refuge in the shelter.

Chen Xin raised his hands to express his approval of the country's move. Although news reports seemed to be in a good situation, with large-scale celebrations taking place in many places abroad, and some cities even holding parades, Chen Xin, who had a strong sense of crisis, However, Xin feels that this crisis will not be over until the meteorite flies away completely.

He still moved all kinds of materials and daily necessities to his shelter according to the original plan, and made final preparations for moving into the shelter.

However, he himself has not yet entered the shelter. After all, there is neither water, electricity nor network signal underground in the shelter. Staying there will not only consume his reserve resources, but also prevent him from obtaining the latest information.

This is obviously unacceptable to Chen Xin.

I don’t know when the disaster will come, I don’t know where the meteorite hit, I don’t know if the crisis will pass...

It is not Chen Xin's style to just hide himself in an underground shelter and wait for death.

For him, if a disaster is really coming, then face it head-on, just as he actively prepares shelters and various response measures. He prefers to take the initiative and face difficulties head-on, rather than passively waiting. die.

Even if the meteorite really hits his head, Chen Xin will face the direction of the meteorite, raise his middle finger towards it, and curse: "Damn it!"

Therefore, for Chen Yu, it was absolutely unacceptable for Chen Yu to huddle in the shelter like a turtle, waiting for fate to decide whether it would be the end of the world or a hero to save Blue Star.

That would make him feel that his life was in the hands of others, and he would lose his sense of security even if he was hiding in an underground shelter.

Because of this, Chen Xin will still stay at home instead of entering the shelter now like some of his friends in the survival group.

As for pulling an antenna out of the shelter to receive radio and television signals, it wasn't impossible, but Chen Xin gave up the idea after thinking about it.

This is not to say that Chen Xin finds it difficult to accept hiding in a shelter and listening to the radio, but because Chen Xin does not intend to put up his antenna before the meteorite actually falls.

According to Chen Xin's prediction, as the meteorite hits the blue star, the EMP shock wave generated by the disturbed ionosphere during the impact is enough to destroy most electrical and electronic equipment on the surface, plus various disasters that follow, such as antennas This fragile external device is likely to be destroyed in the first wave of disaster.

So partly to save money, but also because he felt it was unnecessary, Chen Xin didn't put up his antenna.

What he prepared was a shortwave antenna that could still work normally in a low temperature environment of minus 70 degrees. This kind of high-end product was not something that could be obtained casually.

Even with the help of a group of friends and connections, Chen Xin managed to get two pieces of Russian-made military supplies. It was obviously impossible to just take them out and use them as consumables, but Chen Xin put them in a box. It was wrapped in tin foil and placed in my big iron box. I planned to wait until the environment stabilized after the meteorite impact before taking it out for use.

The purpose of wrapping tin foil is to prevent EMP shock waves from damaging the antenna. Chen Xin learned this from movies. Although it is not as good as putting things in a microwave oven, this can at least protect these fragile electronic devices as much as possible.

After all, he was in an underground shelter, and the EMP shock wave was still an electromagnetic wave in nature, and its ability to penetrate the soil layer was insufficient. Coupled with the metal box and tin foil, it was enough for protection.

After packing up all his things, Chen Xin was still sitting in front of the TV, scrolling through his phone and paying attention to the latest news on the TV. As for the computer, he had already sent it to the shelter.

The rescue operation is still being broadcast live on the TV, but obviously the attention has dropped. Although it is still broadcast live on all channels, the live content already has studio footage, instead of just the command hall footage and aerospace footage as before. The picture captured by the device.

At this time, the Lucian spacecraft has arrived at the predetermined location, the meteorite has appeared in the Lucian spacecraft lens, and the accompanying nuclear warheads are ready to attack.

Seeing that both the host and the experts invited in the studio showed an optimistic and relaxed attitude on the TV, Chen Xin also felt that this wave seemed to be a sure thing.

At this moment, what accompanied the Lucian spacecraft to the attack position was not a few nuclear warheads, but more than twenty strategic nuclear warheads with an equivalent of 10 million tons.

If it were not for the purpose of fighting meteorites, it would be absolutely impossible for the top five Blue Stars to come up with so many nuclear warheads at once. This is the first time in human history that so many nuclear warheads have been used. Even in the nuclear tests of each country, they have never been used at once. A total of so many nuclear bombs.

More than twenty nuclear warheads with a yield of 10 million tons were used to bombard a target with a diameter of four kilometers, which was enough to literally blow the meteorite into smithereens.

However, just when Chen Xingxing was watching the footage captured by the Lucia spacecraft broadcast on the TV with enthusiasm, and was about to appreciate how the nuclear warhead exploded the meteorite, the aerospace command center on the screen suddenly fell into chaos, as if something had happened. The sudden situation was the same, so much so that the Lucia spacecraft's interception mission was temporarily suspended.

Chen Xin was a little confused. He changed channels several times in a row but the same situation happened.

Just when he was confused, the live host on the TV finally figured out what was going on, and said to the camera with a pale face: "The meteorite that was originally pushed out of the impact orbit was torn into pieces by the gravity of the Blue Star. Three meteorites with a diameter of five kilometers were captured by the gravity of the Blue Star and are currently flying towards the Blue Star!" (End of this chapter)
