Chapter 11: The blue thread on the road (1)
Wu Han heard the crying sounds, causing distracting people. He frowned impatiently and said:
"Okay, the situation outside is so bad now, you should know. Let's discuss the countermeasures! At present, there is a bit of food in the mountains. If you go out rashly, don't mention the traffic problems in the capital. The nuclear radiation along the way alone is enough. Besides, I'm afraid that's the same there..."
When he said this, Wu Han deliberately paused, his eyes swept across everyone's faces meaningfully, and he said slowly:
"People have to eat when they are alive. Although there is food stored in the mountains and it has become like this outside, there is no need to expect that food will be transported in in the future. All problems can only be attributed to us. Other things can be suppressed before talking about them. The big thing about eating cannot be delayed for a moment. There are a total of six ecological agricultural greenhouses in the caves on the other side of the Beifeng, with a total area of tens of thousands of square meters, and the temperature is maintained by hot springs and biogas. If the management is good, it will not be a problem to feed hundreds of people just by growing vegetables, growing grains, etc. I can understand that you are sad, but from tomorrow, everyone will have to start working, and you can't eat it as a meal!"
Creation is very wonderful. The innate rational component of men is much higher than that of women. Even if they are stimulated by emotional factors for a while, once the excitement passes, the man will immediately realize the harsh reality and leave sentimentality behind. As soon as Wu Han said something, it immediately caused a strong backlash. Even a worldly expert like Zhou Chen gave him a sharp look of resentment. Obviously, all this is because Wu Han took the lead and said something inappropriate when everyone was dedicated to commemorating their relatives.
"Eat? What a meal! You are such a cold-blooded animal!"
Zhou Chen's pretty face turned pale with anger, and his fingers trembled at Wu Han, staring at him angrily. It took a long time to squeeze out such a sentence from his teeth. After hearing this unpleasant evaluation, Wu Han laughed helplessly twice, scratched his head and said:
"Cold-blooded? That's right! But no matter what, you still have a day to mourn. Starting tomorrow morning, everyone here will have to take on their own responsibilities. You have to remember that if you don't work, you won't have food to eat. Things are that simple, and we don't have the conditions to raise idle people. If anyone is unwilling to accept this suggestion, it's great that you don't have to work tomorrow and just leave."
Wu Han's words were extremely ruthless, his expression was extremely serious, and he seemed to be joking at all. At this moment, no matter who dared to jump out to object, it seemed that he had the only option to ask you to walk. Is Wu Han too ruthless? No, it is because he knew too well what situation he was going to face next.
Nuclear war is indeed very terrifying. As long as this door to doomsday is open, the deaths of billions of people around the world in just a few hours are expected. What is even more terrifying is not this sudden short-term injury, but the long and difficult nuclear winter.
There was a long inference in the scientific community that when a large number of nuclear weapons exploded together, the energy released will send a large amount of dust and water vapor into the same temperature strata located at the high altitude of the earth. As thick clouds of dust block the sunlight from illuminating the surface, it will immediately cause a sharp drop in the ground temperature. Subsequently, the continuous snowfall will form a strong light reflection on the surface, further causing the temperature to drop. In short, this series of complex reactions will ultimately produce a nuclear winter effect similar to those in the glacier periods in geological history.
Based on theoretical values, the effect of nuclear winter will be extremely fierce, and even the southern hemisphere is midsummer, it will turn into midwinter in a very short time. Although new theoretical analysis later believed that the aforementioned Crow Mouth expert calculated some key data incorrectly, thus exaggerating the subsequent effects of the outbreak of nuclear war and comforting the public not to worry about nuclear winter issues, this conclusion is the same as the nuclear winter theory, and it is also a reason. It seems that who is right and who is wrong can only be tested in practice.
Wu Han has never had too much expectations for this imperfect world. It is just a good wish to turn bad luck into good fortune and bring good fortune in times of trouble. But blessings are unparalleled and misfortunes are common. Based on this, Wu Han believes that the possibility of the worst outcome should be considered.
When a huge disaster comes, the end of those blind optimistic people is nothing more than a tragic bird in the fable. Let’s first determine that the nuclear winter theory is completely valid, so even with the most optimistic estimate, the cooling brought by nuclear winter will last for several years. On the contrary, if the situation is not optimistic, it is impossible to keep cold for hundreds of years. During this period, except for the tropical areas near the earth’s equator, open-air agriculture will probably not have any harvest. There is no doubt that the continuous disaster weather will make survivors who have escaped nuclear war and robbery struggle for a long time in the painful nuclear winter, and eventually die of hunger and cold.
This miserable future that was not far away really made Wu Han feel creepy, so he was determined to work hard to survive from now on.
The world is big, and the food is the most important. Those urban people living in the city are too accustomed to relying on the convenience of purchasing daily foods from supermarkets. When people enjoy delicious and fresh foods and have a relaxing ease at their fingertips, they seem to forget that these foods did not fall from the sky. If no one works hard, then there is definitely nothing to eat.
Having tasted hunger, Wu Han had experienced the mental impact of the tragic nuclear war scene, the first thing he thought of was not other problems, but where did the food come from in the future? The grim future of the situation makes him feel more terrified than nuclear radiation. Starving to death! No matter what angle it looks at, it is not a way of death that makes people feel comfortable!
