Just after the Spring Festival in 2015, a car accident took away the lives of his parents. Shen Cong, who witnessed the car accident with his own eyes, had an earth-shaking change in his personality.
He is no longer humorous and cheerful, no longer positive and optimistic, no longer makes friends, no longer goes out, and no longer even reads. He is paranoid all day long and feels that someone is trying to harm him.
Shen Cong, who was once called by his teacher as a "prodigy from a key university" and knew how to repair cars at the age of seven, became a patient with persecution paranoia. Relying on a large cargo truck left by his parents, the rental fees of seven houses, and 800,000 yuan in compensation for car accidents, he lived in an abandoned house.
Until one day in 2016, a post on the Internet changed Shen Cong's life trajectory again.
"Human beings are so demanding of nature, sooner or later the end will come. The sudden change in weather in the past two years is proof!"
The author of the post is obviously an environmental protection person, and may even be an expert in civil science. In the post, he listed in detail a lot of data on climate anomalies, magnetic pole changes, melting glaciers, frequent earthquakes, etc. I don’t know how he demonstrated it, but in the end he came to the conclusion Conclusion, if we don’t protect the environment, the world will end sooner or later.
"I have a hunch that 2022 is the deadline for the end of the world! If humans don't stop destroying the environment, it will be too late!"
This kind of post may be effective in deceiving novices who are new to the Internet, but it is pure nonsense to deal with old Internet users.
On the contrary, the old netizens are still actively planning below. Once the doomsday comes, everyone has a lot of fun discussing how to save themselves and what survival supplies to bring.
However, Shen Cong, who was immersed in the inner world of "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me", immediately believed the author's statement - perhaps because he wanted to find a spiritual sustenance for himself - Shen Cong decided to prepare for it now Doomsday in hopes of surviving the apocalypse.
He searched for an outdoor survival communication website on the Internet, and began to pay attention to how to escape from the current civilization and survive better outside.
A month later, Shen Cong became a senior member and had a complete doomsday plan in his mind.
He spent a week organizing this plan into a 90,000-word plan.
Looking at the results he had hammered out, Shen Cong felt vaguely excited deep in his heart. Perhaps when his parents left him, his life became illusory, and his goal in life was set on something as invisible as survival in the doomsday.
If there is an end.
Then let this doomsday destroy the gray world in front of you, strip away all the pain, and find a new self in the new world.
…
then.
Shen Cong, a patient suffering from persecution paranoia, made the decision to convert his truck into a doomsday chariot and drive it to survive in the apocalypse.
He picked up his talent for repairing cars again, and in six years from 2016 to 2022, Shen Cong realized his own doomsday chariot bit by bit.
Building a chariot allowed him to find a way to stop being decadent.
Facing the end, he wanted to use it nervously every day to arm himself. No one knows what the end of the world will be like, but making yourself stronger is the most basic response.
Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, running, swimming, parallel bars, nunchucks, and Sanda fighting.
Shen Cong even contacted a dealer selling homemade firearms on the Internet. After several transactions, he bought three high-pressure air guns and two high-imitation 6.4 pistols from the other party. In addition, he personally visited several police stations and armed police detachments in nearby counties, towns, and armed police detachments, selected routes, drew maps, and rushed to grab firearms when the end came.
If he was caught, he would definitely be jailed, but Shen Cong was not a dangerous person in society. He hid the gun after buying it and never used it.
To practice shooting, I always go to a shooting club in the provincial capital.
In my daily life, I mainly work in an abandoned warehouse rented by my parents who ran a transportation company, remodeling trucks, exercising, and learning archery, crossbow shooting, and slingshot shooting. The level of crossbows is no worse than that of professionals, especially slingshots. Within twenty meters, you can hit wherever you point, even a soybean grain.
Crossbows and slingshots are definitely powerful weapons in a doomsday world, and ammunition can be made anywhere.
…
The weather is fine.
In China in 2022, thanks to vigorous pollution control measures, the sky will be blue again. This is completely different from what Shen Cong expected from the post he saw six years ago. Shen Cong's belief in the doomsday has also wavered, but he has persisted for several years. He does not want to give up halfway and continues to transform the big truck.
Sizzle, sizzle.
Electric welding melted the steel together, and Shen Cong was standing on top of the large truck, installing a small radar on the lifting platform. This small radar is a military battlefield reconnaissance radar AN/PPS-15A. Shen Cong spent nearly 400,000 to get it as a scrap product from a radio amateur club in the provincial capital.
Those with connections in the club can get some scrap products from the army and then sell them to others at high prices.
In order to repair this radar, Shen Cong spent a lot of time learning this knowledge. Thanks to his smart mind and experience in maintenance, it finally took him nearly a year to repair the radar today.
Because this radar is very precious, Shen Cong specially designed a lifting platform. When you need to use it, you can raise it, and when you don't need it, you can lower it into the carriage.
Half an hour later, it was installed.
Shen Cong looked at the 15a radar with satisfaction, and decided to use sandpaper and clay to polish the welded parts a little brighter, and then spray them with camouflage paint. Then it would be perfect.
Bang!
Shen Cong jumped down from the top of the car at a height of nearly four meters, took out the electronic car key from his waist, and pointed it at the large truck wrapped in steel spike armor.
With two clicks, the armor wrapped around the front of the car opened, and Shen Cong jumped on.
The truck is Volvo's new FH heavy truck, with a displacement of 16.1l, a maximum horsepower of 750 horsepower, 12 forward gears, 4 reverse gears, and a maximum speed of 120km/h. This was the previous data, but now it has completely changed after Shen Cong's modification. Shen Cong installed two 6-cylinder engines at the rear wheels of the truck front.
The nine-meter-long container behind the car has also been overall heightened and widened. It is now 3.9 meters in height and 3.5 meters in width. They are all wrapped with steel plates welded with steel thorns. Unfortunately, considering the load capacity, Shen Cong can only install a 16mm steel plate. Wrapped in a circle of steel plates, the total weight is 30 tons, which can barely affect the speed of the vehicle.
A bulldozer blade removed from the bulldozer is also installed on the front of the vehicle. The bulldozer blade is four meters wide and can sweep across almost any obstacle.
The enhancement of the appearance actually does not require much effort. What really took Shen Cong six years to create was the transformation of the interior of the truck.
It can be said that except for the name of this Volvo heavy truck, other parts have been replaced by Shen Cong.
In order to block the weak part of the windshield, Shen Cong thought about installing bulletproof glass, but finally gave up this plan and changed it to a full steel plate armor package. As for the outside situation, cameras and periscopes were used to realize it. Therefore, the cab has been modified into an autonomous driving system.
There are eight computer screens of various sizes hanging inside, controlling every part of the truck.
Shen Cong skillfully pressed the button on the console, opened one of the screens, entered a string of codes, and soon the radar search start progress bar was displayed. After about a minute, the search was completed, the radar on the top was turned on, and a scanned image appeared on the screen.
Battlefield reconnaissance radar can detect moving vehicles, personnel and other targets within a kilometer range.
The reason why this radar was installed was that Shen Cong had always fantasized about the possibility of detecting the enemy in advance during an encounter at the end of the world, so that it would be easier to escape. In addition, infrared thermal imaging cameras are installed at the front and rear of the vehicle, which can be used in conjunction with radar to more accurately observe the surrounding environment.
"Boom!"
The ignition started, and the three engines roared at the same time. Shen Cong immediately drove the heavy truck around in the square of the warehouse, feeling the wild impact brought by the tank. If the heavy truck wasn't so shocking, he really wanted to drive it out and try the feeling of running on the highway, but now he could only circle in a small square.
This warehouse is large in area and located in a remote location. It is surrounded by walls nearly four to five meters high, blocking everything inside. Because it is surrounded by farmland, there are no taller buildings that can peek inside.
Only occasionally farmers working in the fields would hear the roaring inside the walls.
If you walk into the wall, you will find that in this huge abandoned warehouse square, the foot of the wall is filled with all kinds of old and rusty steel parts. Broken tires are piled in one corner, like a city wall. However, although there is a lot of waste, it is neatly stacked.
A small forklift was parked in the corner, obviously used to stack waste.
Beyond the piles of scraps is an old steel-structured warehouse. The warehouse is obviously old and has been damaged in many places, but it has been roughly covered with various steel plates.
Wrapped like a scrap tin can.
In the past six years, Shen Cong gave up the good life in the city and lived here alone.
Having satisfied his driving addiction, he parked the chariot in the center of the square, opened the front armor, and jumped out. Looking at the ferocious and domineering steel chariot, which was shining with silvery white brilliance in the sun, with dense welding traces visible, Shen Cong finally felt a sense of security in his heart.
Then he checked the supplies in the carriage. He didn't know the exact time when the end would come, so Shen Cong kept all the supplies stored in the carriage just in case. He also tested the loading capacity of the King Kong under full load. .
"The supplies are complete."
Thinking about it, Shen Cong took out a bottle of spray paint from his pocket.
On the armor of the heavy truck, he spray-painted the name he gave this steel chariot - King Kong. In addition to not being able to transform, it is as powerful as the Transformers and more ferocious than Optimus Prime's truck.
"King Kong, if the end comes, you and I will be with you all the way!"
Just at this moment, there was a rumble of thunder in the sky.
Shen Cong raised his head and looked at the sky, only to see a meteor shower starting from nowhere in the originally sunny sky. The meteors are dragging their bright tails one after another, and they are still clearly visible even in the daytime. Suddenly, there was a meteor that seemed to be dragging its tail and falling towards the warehouse.
