Chapter 40: I feel like I'm off-topic again
P.S: There are only two shifts today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBecause I have to prepare the plot of the second volume at night. Since there are no readers speaking in the comment area here at the starting point, then I will directly reveal what the second experience world is - the bell bell (with BGM) explosion game! I don't know if you've seen this? I really like Himiko in it, and I feel like the body (dirt) is like a high school student's version of Shizuka Jukawa?
——————————
A white light suddenly lit up on the edge of the sky, and the light was extremely dazzling, even overshadowing the afterglow when it was near dusk, illuminating the entire sky with a bright light.
"What the hell is going on?!" The slender hand was hidden in front of him, and through his fingers, Miyamoto saw the scorching white light in the sky.
"It's not clear yet!" Poison Island Tsuneko shouted urgently: "But everyone hurry up and close your eyes and don't look at it, otherwise your eyes will hurt!" ”
"That's right! It's the same as looking at the arc of light during welding for a long time, which will burn your eyes. Saya Takashiro said.
"Kota!" Alice closed her eyes in fear and hid behind Hirano.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you'll be fine soon." Hirano closed her eyes tightly and stroked her little head with his hand.
This unusually dazzling white light lasted for about half a minute before slowly disappearing. And the sky that had just been illuminated was once again the deep orange red of dusk.
"Hey! Feed! Rika?! ”
Until now, Shizuka Jukawa was still tinkering with her phone, trying to call back. The dazzling and abnormal white light just now seemed to have no effect on her at all (should I say that it was a stupid talent)
It's just that the phone is always in a black screen state, no response, and there is a burst of burning smell.
"What the hell is going on?" Rei Miyamoto was puzzled.
"Wait a minute, Shizuka-sensei, show me your phone." Saya Takajo pushed his glasses and said. Combined with the burst of white light just now, and the phone that was suddenly burned before the white light flickered, she already had a rough guess.
"Oh, oh, okay." Shizuka Jukawa nodded and handed the phone to Saya Takashiro who reached for it.
Taking over the somewhat hot phone, Saya Takashiro frowned slightly, and then flipped back and forth. Not only the screen, but even the back of the phone has obvious scorch marks, as if it has been burned, and there is a smell of burning.
"The smell of burning." Saya Takajo sniffed, and she looked up at Rei Miyamoto, "Miyamoto, look at the scope of the gun in your hand. ”
"Huh?" Rei Miyamoto was stunned and glanced down at the rifle tied to her waist. This gun was given to her by Hirano yesterday, saying that it would be safer with a gun. Originally, she didn't plan to ask for it, because she was better at using guns and sticks than guns.
However, Hirano said that the rifle could also be used as a bayonet and could be used as a stick. That's why she decided to take the gun and carefully slung it around her waist for ease of use.
"Alright! Don't worry about it so much, let's take a look at it first! Saya Takashiro couldn't help but urge: "Your gun should also be useful for IC!" ”
(I'm here again, IC, is the so-called integrated circuit.) Some rifles have ICs in them to provide infrared aiming.)
"Oh-oh-" Intimidated by Saya Takashiro's momentum, Miyamoto Rei didn't hesitate much, and honestly followed her request, raised her rifle and looked at the scope of the firearm, "And then?" ”
"If you want to lift your gun, don't point it directly at me!" The corners of Saya Takashiro's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly dodged to the side. After a pause, she asked, "Do you see the red dot now?" The crosshair used to aim. ”
"No, no."
"Is that really the case? Yes, thank you for your help. Saya Takashiro pushed his glasses.
"Well, Takashiro-san, do you know what's going on?" Hirano asked.
"Yes! The burst of white light just now was the result of an electromagnetic pulse. Saya Takashiro shrugged.
When the words fell, Miyamoto Rei and the others could only silently not speak, staring at her expressionlessly, in order to express a feeling of 'we can't understand what you're saying, but we think it's amazing'.
Seeing this, Saya Takashiro couldn't help but sigh with his forehead, and explained helplessly: "It's an EMP attack!" It is also known as a high-altitude nuclear explosion. If a nuclear warhead explodes over the atmosphere, gamma rays will scatter electrons from atmospheric molecules, causing the Compton effect. ”
As if giving everyone time to think, she paused, and only after a moment did she continue: "These scattered electrons will be attracted by the earth's magnetic field and emit electromagnetic pulses over a very wide area. And this will have a fatal impact on the electronic instruments on the earth. Because the electromagnetic pulse will pass through the thing that acts as an antenna, and instantly burn all the ICs, that is, integrated circuits. ”
Hearing this, Poison Island Tsuneko understood and muttered, "In other words, we can't use electronic instruments now?" ”
Shizuka Jukawa exclaimed, "Huh? Does the phone work too? "The call with Rika just now was cut off after not long. She thought it was a broken phone, and she was going to borrow another phone from someone later, and then call back!
"Now not only mobile phones, but all electronic instruments, including computers, are all unusable, and even cars controlled by computers cannot be driven, because most cars are now equipped with control chips......"
Saya Takashiro sighed: "And due to the impact of the electromagnetic pulse just now, it is estimated that even the power plant or something has been destroyed." ”
"Could it be that it would be the same in other places?" Rei Miyamoto asked.
"It would be a different matter if we had prepared EMP measures in advance. But after all, there are only a small number of them, and I am afraid that only a part of the Self-Defense Forces or government agencies have them. Saya Takajo said calmly.
"That's too bad, if you can't even use electricity, I'm afraid it's ...... here" Tsuruko Poison Island didn't finish speaking, but the part of the words she omitted, except for Shizuka Jukawa and the cute Alice, everyone else suddenly understood.
Although it is as safe and sturdy as an iron bucket now, everyone can live with peace of mind, but it is all based on the advanced equipment. Without these electrical appliances such as electric lights, refrigerators, etc., it would be impossible for this place to maintain the peace it is now!
You must know that the biggest difference between modern society and ancient society is reflected in the degree of development of science and technology.
As a modern person, almost no one can say that they don't need electrical appliances. What's more, the world today is not the same as it used to be - everywhere is full of dead bodies, and more than a third of the world's human beings have turned into monsters.
If you want to survive in such a world, without electricity, it is undoubtedly worse.
When I think about the next night, it will be dark, and the faces of everyone present are a little ugly. They thought that this situation would not get any worse, because it was annoying enough, but they did not expect that it would get worse even more.
"Is there any way to remedy that?" Suddenly, a grim voice came from the stairs.
"Daddy?" Saya Takajo was stunned and hurriedly turned around. I saw Soichiro Takashiro and Yuriko Takashi walking down the stairs, he was still wearing the gray military uniform, and Yuriko Takashiro was wearing the burgundy bandeau dress.
After a moment's hesitation, she hesitated, "If you replace those burned-out parts, maybe the car or something will still work." But if it is a purely electronic instrument such as a computer, it will definitely not be used. ”
In fact, she still has one sentence that she hasn't said, that is, even if the equipment such as automobiles has been replaced, the burned parts have been replaced, and there are only a few that can continue to be used. I'm afraid it's less than one percent of the usage.
"Did you hear it, quickly send someone down to check." Soichiro Takashiro commanded one of his subordinates behind him.
"Yes!" The subordinate nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing the man leaving, Soichiro Takashiro turned his head, looked at Saya Takashiro, and shouted softly, "Saya! ”
Saya Takashiro was shocked, and raised her head in some fear, thinking that Soichiro Takashiro was going to reprimand her.
After so many years of getting along, she had a faint fear of her unusually strict father, feeling that no matter what she did, she would not be able to get his approval.
Soichiro Takashiro, however, showed a rare smile. That smile made Saya Takashiro, who was looking at him, stunned for a while.
He patted her on the shoulder, lowered his voice, as if he wanted to praise, but wanted to maintain his majesty, and said lightly: "You did a good job!" In the midst of this chaos, you not only did not lose your composure, but also analyzed the situation rationally, which is commendable. ”
Saya Takajo was a little stunned, and after coming back to her senses, her face suddenly turned red, she grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled it lightly, and nodded smugly, "Hmm......"
Seeing this, Yuriko Takashiro, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.
Whether it is for Saya Takashiro or Soichiro Takashiro, she is one of the closest people. Because of this, over the years, she has been watching the father and daughter get along, and she has also felt a little helpless for the gradually frozen relationship between the two-
obviously cares about each other, but because of the tiredness, I haven't been able to say it in person.
She knew that her husband actually cared about her daughter. But because of his status, he has never been able to show that concern. Every time he wanted to say something to Saya, it would eventually turn into a reprimand, and over time, Saya gradually developed a kind of fear.
I'm scared, no matter what I do, my dad won't agree with me......
She also knows her daughter, and she respects her father and wants to be close to him. But he was always afraid of rejection, so he hesitated.
"What an awkward father and daughter...... Yuriko Takashiro smiled slightly.
