Hearing Fang Senyan's explanation, President Wilson sighed in disappointment. He looked as if he had aged several years out of thin air. Then he sat down tiredly on the cold iron chair next to him, and pressed his temples hard with his fingers—because the airship After all, it is floating, so avoid accidentally injuring people when it is in danger of violent shaking. These furniture are all fixed, so they are not very comfortable.
Looking at this venerable president, she couldn't help being a little bit emotional. Obviously, compared with the father and son presidents Bush, Clinton, and Nixon, this colleague of Wilson really looks like a saint. Zi pulled the female assistant to the president, Sally, to the side. Not long after, Sally brought a pot of hot water, and then went to the cooking station at the back to get busy.
Soon, the hot towel, sticky cocoa, and a large sandwich injected new energy into President Wilson. It stands to reason that the president was already very tired under psychological and physical pressure. However, he still insisted on watching the lives of the other people on the giant airship before he would take a break. To show respect, Sheyan and his party accompanied him.
Here I have to say that Sheyan and the others have made quite sufficient preparations. At this time, the staff on the airship is distributing a series of necessary supplies to everyone, in order, including a number plate, a set of toilet utensils, a The fibers are thick and thorny, but it is a large and thick gray blanket.
In this way, even those who have just boarded the boat have lost all their belongings, but at least they have gained a safe place to lie down and rest, a bed that may not be too comfortable but can keep warm. In addition, because the rescued people exceeded the previous expectations, some people could only lay the floor in the corridor.
After seeing Fang Sheyan and the president, many people were so excited that their eyes filled with tears, and some even struggled to crawl in front of them and kiss their insteps. It can be seen how much prestige the president and Sheyan have reached among the survivors.
After accompanying the President to visit the two giant airships, President Wilson finally nodded in approval despite maintaining a critical eye. Because this is a special period, all people are required not to go out of the cabin and walk around at will. Dinner is distributed sequentially by a special dining car, and only those with a number plate can eat. There are two huge aluminum barrels on the dining car.
As the saying goes that people depend on food, President Wilson naturally walked over to check the situation with great concern, and found that the first aluminum barrel was full of high-density biscuits compressed into squares, which everyone can share A piece the size of a cigarette pack will almost break your teeth when you bite it, and the biscuits in an aluminum bucket can supply at least a dozen cabins.
In the second aluminum barrel is a very hot thick soup, which is mixed with chopped carrots, a lot of butter, meat floss, and corn kernels. Everyone is provided with toiletries, including military kettles And the large lunch box, everyone can get a full box.
President Wilson also ordered a dinner and ate it with the people, and listened to their voices and opinions by the way. As far as the president is concerned, this dinner is definitely not about the taste, but the high-density compression The biscuits are soaked in the thick soup and eaten. It can be said that the portion is full, enough to make an adult full, and there is a lot of butter in the soup. Although it looks very greasy, it is good for restoring energy and resisting The cold is still very helpful, and it can be seen that the organizers have put a lot of thought into it.
During the meal, there were also some discordant voices, that is, because some people were not used to eating such simple food, they threw it away even though there was a sign that waste food was strictly prohibited.
This behavior attracted the attention of the security personnel, and they were punished quickly... The number plate of the person who dumped the food was confiscated, and it would be returned after thirty-six hours, which meant that he would face at least four hours of starvation. An embarrassing situation.
Generally speaking, President Wilson is still very satisfied with the current order of the entire airship formation. At the same time, the main control room sent an emergency signal: the tsunami is approaching, and in order to deal with the next bad weather, the airship will go all out Climb, and forcibly close all external exits.
At the same time, warnings are continuously sent in the form of broadcasts within the entire airship formation:
I hope that all passengers stay in their cabins and do not go out, and hold on to something solid. In addition, if you have confidence in your body, you can go to the porthole and make a final speech for our great, beautiful, magnificent, and magnificent Washington. farewell.
The tides in the distance are vast and turbulent, piled up in the sky like dense clouds, rushing towards them crazily, the highest wave looks down on the land from a bird's-eye view, and drowns it without any suspense, and everyone watches silently Below, on the peak of the wave, there is even an aircraft carrier that symbolizes the most powerful conventional force of mankind - the aircraft carrier was swept over, the Stars and Stripes logo on it was clearly visible, and then... crushed the White House fiercely! !
At this moment, President Wilson's tears silently slid down his wrinkled old cheeks. This once represented the capital of the most powerful country in the entire world. In such a fragmented and broken form, it returned to nothingness in the unprecedented tide!
At this moment, this old black man, this president who can look down on life and death and share the joys and sorrows with his own people! Tears were streaming down my face, and I completely lost my composure and cried bitterly! ! !
This sad emotion spread throughout the whole boat in an instant, with crying one after another.
The terrifying huge wave rushed over in an instant, directly obliterating the architectural history and civilization that had been soaked in the painstaking efforts of several generations. Looking around, there is a vast expanse of white ocean, that color really makes people extremely desperate! In the distance where the sky and the ocean meet, black clouds that are as solid as a mountain stand like mountains, crazily surging, and there is a faint electric light inside.
Fang Sheyan felt the atmosphere of loss, sadness, and despair, and instinctively felt that he should say something, so he walked up to President Wilson and said seriously:
"Mr. President, Washington may be buried deep under the sea, but why do these three words make us feel horrified, why do they make us burst into tears? The meaning behind it, the spirit it represents! It is definitely not dejected and sad. These four Word, if we miss it, it is enough to engrave it deep in our memory, but if we suffer from its demise, why not rebuild a new Washington with our own hands in the future?? Rebuild a more magnificent city, you know, Before 1789 A.D., this was the Badlands by the Potomac River!"
President Wilson raised his eyes. Although his red eyes were still full of tears, if he looked carefully, his fists were clenched again.
Sheyan continued:
"According to the exact information, the flood will only cover the land for ten days at most, and then it will recede. At that time, what we are facing is still a brand new earth. Mr. President, I strongly disagree with what you have repeatedly emphasized. , You say you are the last president of the United States of America, but I believe that as long as there are people alive, as long as everyone has the dream of rebuilding their country in their hearts, then the United States of America will not perish!"
Everyone looked at Fang Sheyan, even President Wilson looked at him in surprise, then the presidential assistant Sally applauded vigorously with tears in his eyes, followed by the rest of the people around him, and finally even President Wilson also joined them.
Fang Senyan saw that the morale of a group of people had recovered, and knew that his words had an effect, so he smiled slightly, and then said loudly to the mechanical cabin:
"Hey, Shanter, we're going too slow going up! Gotta get on top of those damn cumulonimbus heads before they come."
Shante is a technician trained by Dr. Octopus himself. He has served on the boat for a total of 300 hours, so he shouted very skillfully:
"I'm doing this! Now our altitude is 3,700 meters. When storms and thunderstorms come, the strong winds they bring will make us rise faster!"
In the next half an hour, all the passengers had a good experience of the feeling of traveling through the thunderstorm clouds. Thinking about lightning and strong winds raging through a thin bulkhead, that feeling must be Very stimulating.
Fortunately, the god of luck favored them. Only one giant airship was struck by lightning, but it could still barely fly. Soon, the airship rose to a place twelve kilometers above the ground according to the expected design. The latitude area is already the top of the troposphere.
As a result, you can see lightning flashing among the thick black cumulonimbus clouds filled with water vapor below, and they are like small boats drifting with the current, moving quickly in the strong wind. This is also within the previous design plan. The strong wind poses no threat to the huge and strong airbag of the airship. It seems that no matter how fast the water flow is, there is no way to make a hollow and sealed can box sink underwater forever. .
At this time, the entire airship formation has also entered a stable period, and the time limit for their drifting in the air is expected to exceed seventy-two hours, and then the angry earth will slowly restrain its anger. Most of the people on the airship formation also fell asleep in fatigue and fear, while Sheyan and the others drank thick and bitter coffee with President Wilson and did not fall asleep because they had more important things to do now.
