Doomsday Bunker Upgrade

Chapter 2: First hand preparation, dig deep

The only difference from the game is that you have no energy towers for heating, no robots for work, and you won't see sunlight for a hundred years.

In a disaster of this scale, if the impact site was in his own hemisphere, then Chen Xin felt that he didn't have to do anything. He had just eaten and had fun in the past few months, and when he waited for the meteorite to fall, he would face the meteorite. Just raise your middle finger.

But if you are lucky and the meteorite falls on the other side of the Blue Star, then digging a shelter deep enough should allow you to survive the disaster and then face the extremely cold night for a hundred years.

Don’t think digging a shelter is unrealistic.

In fact, in the 1970s, when the relationship between Yanguo and Lucia was on bad terms, Lucia had planned to carry out a surgical nuclear strike against Yanguo, but was unable to implement it due to the opposition of the Federation at the time.

Taizu proposed a plan to dig deep holes based on the news leaked by the federal people in newspapers at that time. He invested a lot of manpower and material resources across the country and excavated a large number of air raid shelters, and among the air raid shelters in some important locations. There are even authentic connections between them.

These air-raid shelters can be found in every city in the Yan Kingdom, and most of them are still well preserved today.

These air raid shelters are usually 20 meters deep, 200 meters long and 3 meters wide, with brick walls on both sides and a cement board for support on the roof.

The cave also has ventilation, electricity, lighting and other equipment, which can be used to avoid air strikes during war, as well as for emergency evacuation and temporary residence after the arrival of nuclear war.

These air-raid shelters could still be put into use at any time until the 1980s and 1990s.

However, with the disintegration of Lucia, the improvement of Yanguo's comprehensive national strength, and the gradual improvement of the international situation, these air-raid shelters gradually lost their function and were converted to civilian use. They became material warehouses in many places, places to cool off in summer, and even underground commercial streets.

As for the subway stations built in major cities and the double-layer underground parking lots in residential areas, they are actually to a large extent another form of the existence and extension of this type of air raid shelter. After all, they are tens or even hundreds of meters deep underground. The subway station is an excellent bunker. A nuclear bomb strike or air strike is not enough to cause any structural damage to a bunker of this depth.

That is to say, the specially developed ground-penetrating bombs and cloud burst bombs have a good damage effect on such deep underground bunkers, but it is still difficult to damage the overall structure of the bunker.

And the subway lines extending in all directions can immediately build an underground transportation network, turning these air-raid shelters and subway stations into underground cities like those in "The Wandering Earth", but they won't be dug as deep.

Chen Xin flipped through the thoughts he had recorded and the relevant information he had searched on the Internet. He was convinced that with the confirmation of the meteorite impact on Blue Star, the next step for the government is likely to be to dig deep underground. Shelters are a way to avoid disasters and save yourself.

But simply digging a shelter can only ensure that there is enough chance to survive when a disaster strikes. How can we survive the long nights and cold winters that will last for decades

Storing food? This is indeed a feasible method. Although most of the emergency foods sold on the market have a shelf life of 5-10 years at room temperature, as the global temperature drops, low temperatures of tens of degrees below zero are enough to preserve these foods for decades or even more. century.

But no matter how you store food, in the few months before the meteorite impact, it is already extraordinary to be able to collect enough food for one person to eat for several years. Unless you have already made preparations, otherwise you want to rely on reserves. It is completely impossible to survive these long decades with food.

And there is one most critical point - energy.

After the meteorite hits the blue star, because the meteorite impact disrupts the ionosphere of the blue star, an EMP shock wave will be formed that affects the whole world, and a large number of electronic equipment will follow. In this case, it is obviously no longer possible to expect that there will still be a complete power supply. Too practical.

Although post-disaster reconstruction will begin after the environment stabilizes and power supply should be restored within a year, power generation requires energy.

When the global temperature drops to tens of degrees below zero, the Three Gorges Project, Yanguo's largest water conservancy hub and source of power generation, will freeze into a huge ice lump. The same fate will be the same for all hydroelectric power stations across the country. No matter how big or small.

This will deprive Yanguo of nearly 20% of its power generation capacity.

Don’t think that this is a small number. You must know that although more than 70% of Yanguo’s power generation comes from thermal power generation, how many power stations can still work and how many power supply lines are left under such a global disaster? intact

The answer will be a very pessimistic number, because most of Yanguo's high-voltage transmission lines are high-altitude cables due to safety issues.

The chances of these cables surviving the firestorms sweeping the world and temperatures as low as tens of degrees below zero are really slim.

So by that time, the situation is likely to be the same as in the ice and steam era. Human beings will need to mine coal to obtain enough energy for heating and heating food.

And mankind may regress to the city-state era to a large extent, with cities working on their own and struggling to survive.

Of course, with the control and execution capabilities of the Yanguo government, basic government functions and social structures should be guaranteed. The days after the disaster may be a little harder, but they can still survive.

However, considering the various disasters and actual conditions caused by the meteorite impact, it will take at least one to three years for the situation to stabilize.

Therefore, what is now in front of Chen Xin is how to prepare within these three months so that he can successfully survive this catastrophe and survive the most turbulent and unsettling time in the future. Three years.

Fortunately, when Chen Xin came up with this idea, he had serious discussions with friends on the Internet, consulted a lot of information, and formulated a complete plan.

If we start to implement it from now on, although the time is a bit tight, it is still not too late!

Thinking of this, Chen Xin didn't waste any more time and hurriedly contacted a trustworthy engineering team through his connections, planning to dig an underground shelter for himself first.

No matter whether the meteorite will hit Blue Star or not, and whether it will survive the first impact, it is always right to be prepared.

In addition to digging shelters, the storage of food and drinking water is also very important. Chen Xin took out his mobile phone to check his bank balance and decided to make a big purchase.

Fortunately, disasters occurred frequently before, so Chen Xin also stocked up on a lot of things at home. There was no need to purchase supplies such as gas masks and medical first-aid kits. What he mainly needed to stock up on was food and water.

As long as there is food, drink, and a place to stay, human survival needs are actually not too high. (End of chapter)
