Chapter 39: The Second Cataclysm—The Tip of the Iceberg of Cataclysm
When Zhang Shixin appeared on the subjective observation deck of the observatory with Zhao Feilin and Liu Hu, two full-time bodyguards, he found an old man who looked like a ghost, silently looking at the dark rock formations.
Zhang Shixin stopped the two people from pulling out their guns and shooting, and then walked onto the subjective viewing platform.
"You're finally here, the one I've been waiting for for years."
Of course, the voice was directly conveyed to Zhang Shixin's mind, but Zhang Shixin also saw that the old man was turning his body and looking at him.
"Are you dead?" Zhang Shixin asked a question that looked silly, but hit the point.
"Of course, from a scientific point of view, of course I was dead. I also know that you also have a lot of questions for me. Until then, though, I hope you'll listen to me a story. ”
Zhang Shixin nodded, he actually found that this old man actually smiled at him.
……
In another dimension, humans also live mainly on Earth.
However, unlike the earth experienced by Zhang Shixin, World War II lasted until 1954, when Stalin died of illness, and it really ended.
Therefore, there are many places in the history of that space that are different from what Zhang Shixin knows.
There were basically none of the victorious countries in the war, and the countries that barely suffered too much damage were the United States and China.
In the summer of 1947, Italy was discovered by Germany because it had defected to the Allies behind its back, so the embarrassed and angry Hitler used the last reserve and went directly south from southern Germany, destroying the Italian army in Italy and a considerable number of Allied troops in one fell swoop.
But the Germans were also unable to fight again, and they continued to engage in a tug-of-war with the Soviet Union on Polish soil, draining the last vestiges of vitality on both sides.
The United States, on the other hand, failed to develop the atomic bomb because of the inexplicable bankruptcy of the Manhattan Project, and had to readjust its strategic focus itself.
Originally, the United States could rely on its powerful naval power to directly trap itself on several islands on the mainland.
The assassination and killing of President Truman and other high-ranking officials caused the prestige of the US political axe to plummet, and the new US President Dewey had to forcibly advance the plan for a landing war on his own territory.
However, he himself still dealt a severe blow to the allied forces led by the United States.
Finally, in the summer of 1948, after his formal surrender, the more than 3 million Allied troops involved in the war lost one-third of their strength and countless light and heavy equipment.
As for himself, he ended up with ten rooms and nine empty rooms.
After the war, every country wants to be able to rebuild its country quickly.
The period from 1957 to 1973 is called the last glory of mankind.
Among them, since 1970, the wreckage of warships that mysteriously appeared has been discovered all over the world, and countries have continuously sent personnel to explore, and human science and technology have made great progress.
However, in the winter of 1973, a Chinese exploration team was unable to make up for a joint expedition due to plane delays, leading to nightmares.
On a snowy field in Eastern Siberia, the wreckage of a new battleship was discovered. In accordance with the original agreement, countries around the world sent their own exploration teams to conduct joint investigations.
After the other exploration teams arrived at the appointed time, they entered the battleship to explore, and one of the exploration teams from the Soviet Union found the "Danger!" sign in Chinese Simplified Chinese. Can't open the room! The warning word, and the room was welded with a welding torch.
At the same time, the dark brown blood stains and bullet holes in the aisle also showed a strong sense of warning.
However, there was no Chinese Simplified Chinese script in China at that time, so even if the Chinese exploration team arrived, it would take a long time for them to understand the meaning of these Chinese Simplified Chinese characters.
Therefore, under this premise, the Soviet exploration team, which did not know what these words meant, cut the door of the room with a welding torch with the idea of monopolizing the technology in the room.
"Pandora's Box", "Gate from Hell", was kicked by a team member with a weapon, and fell to the ground with a bang.
The fate of mankind has changed when the first one swooped out and overwhelmed the zombie that the team member was biting on the ground.
……
"Aren't these people transporting injured players back to their own countries for rescue?" Zhang Shixin said a situation that people who don't know the strong contagious ability of these zombies tend to take such actions.
The old man was not angry that Zhang Shixin interrupted his topic.
"You're right, those people did exactly that, and that's why things got out of hand." The old man nodded and continued:
……
As Zhang Shixin said, after being rescued by nearby troops, they were transported to their own country or the largest city in the Soviet Union for further treatment through simple treatment.
The four cities of Tokyo, Nanjing, Seoul, and Moscow were the first to fall into the disaster.
Followed by Warsaw, Helsinki, Paris, London......
Then, the cataclysm spread out of these areas, and everything became uncontrollable.
In this world, because there is no aviation equipment, and zombies can't swim, it's no problem to use the army to clean up the zombie herd in a certain area.
However, the old man's space could not control the spread of the cataclysm.
Because of the existence of flying equipment, the role of the military is more of a passive defense, and then it finally falls into the depletion of ammunition, and becomes food for zombies along with the civilians it protects, or one of them.
By the first dawn of the new year in 1975, less than 5% of the land in the hands of humans was in the hands of humans, and the surviving human beings, in addition to hiding underground, either waited for death on offshore oil rigs, or floated on the sea, waiting for the end of the moment.
The survivors hiding underground are not willing to sit idly by.
As a result, a large amount of supplies were mobilized, and then long-range communications were relied on to exchange technology with other survivor settlements to secure the last line of defense for humanity.
Among them, the project of a super-large underground city has been put on the agenda.
On May 8, 1976, a small underground city built on the underground railway network in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was attacked by zombies, and all the troops and civilians were spared.
The cause of the fall is unknown, but the dungeon is said to have a vaccine capable of treating the wounded with short-term infections.
Since then, the main shelters in South America have lost contact one by one.
On November 15, 1977, the giant dungeon in Neva, Switzerland, was completed, but this dungeon violated the principle of building a dungeon and could be raised to the ground. Otherwise, they wouldn't have finished it so quickly.
However, due to the shortage of materials, the giant dungeon is more in a half-finished state and has to be stopped or even lost for various reasons.
On May 18, 1979, the Chicago Giant Dungeon, which had completed most of the infrastructure, was completed, and it was the only giant dungeon that could rise to the ground, but the city that carried the hope of mankind was two years later, on the eve of Valentine's Day on February 13. Captured by zombies.
This is the last giant settlement where humans still exist, and the old man can't tell what happened after that.
The name of this dungeon city reflects more of the hope that mankind desires to pass it on.
That's why it's called Heritage.
……
"In other words, I'm in the 'legacy' right now?" Zhang Shixin asked curiously.
The old man shook his head, then nodded: "You can say yes, you can say no." For a number of reasons, the city carries the main body of the legacy, but some areas are intertwined with large military laboratories in another. ”
"So, who are you?" Zhang Shixin asked curiously.
"Can I ask you a question before I say who I am?"
"Yes. As long as I know, I will give you the real answer. ”
"That is, what are you going to do with this city?"
Zhang Shi thought for a moment, then shook his head: "This is a difficult question to answer. However, those who do not want the extinction of humanity are more ......"
Zhang Shixin paused and said firmly: "I don't want this city to continue to exist. ”
After hearing Zhang Shixin's answer, the old man was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "That's right, your opinion is very different, although, I hope you can master this city." But, as you said, if humanity is to continue, it really doesn't need such flashy things. ”
"If those people had understood that, then ...... Maybe we won't be in this situation. Go to the highest building on the east side of the city, which has the city's self-detonating switch, right inside the basement. The old man said, his figure fading, but he continued: "Time is running out, and there is something in the base of the telescope that will help you. In addition, the military laboratory is in the outermost area to the east, so if you go anywhere, you may be a bit of a surprise. ”
"Finally, my name is Ronald Wilson Reagan. The first mayor and the last mayor of the lineage......" After the old man finished speaking, the figure disappeared completely.
Zhang Shixin silently looked at the direction in which the old man disappeared, and finally sighed: "Even if a president becomes a mayor, he can't deny it, this person is still very capable." ”
He and Zhao Feilin walked to the base of the astronomical telescope of the observatory again, and then found a metal box with a very small memory chip inside.
Zhang Shixin looked at the astronomical telescope and sighed in his heart: "If you have time to make this, can't you use the priority materials in the places where they need to be used?" ”
He can't say what the mentality of the people who made the plan at that time was, but there are definitely not a few materials needed to build such a city.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an astronomical number.
"Maybe you don't think it's necessary, but more people think it's necessary. The human mindset is truly amazing. Sinia comforted Zhang Shixin, who shook her head silently and stopped talking.
………………………………………… Dividing line ......................................................
That chip was quickly cracked out by the system, and the useful things in it were not too much for Zhang Shixin.
And what made him care was that there were some tanks in it that Zhang Shixin hadn't heard of, but whose surnames were good.
Many countries have this kind of thing, but Sinia has chosen several tanks to extend after differentiating them.
They are:
The T-66X tank of the T-64 class is similar in appearance to the T-72, but the tank accessories are more inclined to the T-64 tank.
The biggest advantage of this tank is that it can carry a KL1965-110mm-L60 front barrel slideback gun, which can reach up to 370mm uncorrected penetration, which means that this tank has a very good penetration effect.
The Leopard I GRUT-1968 main battle tank, its surname is closer to the later version of the Leopard I tank. The highlight is the use of modular special armor as external armor, and the firepower is not weaker than that of the Leopard I tank.
The AMX-MOD 1970 "Louie" main battle tank, which is of the same class as the AMX-30 main battle tank, has a very fast rate of fire with a 6-round 105mm magazine gun. Although the power is not as good as the AMX-50's 120mm gun series, it has a lot of penetration depth and a good bulletproof shape, which in many ways means that the battlefield survival rate of this thing is very good.
The Y series has an additional FV(M) 1968 main battle tank, which looks very close to the "Challenger" main battle tank, but there is a certain difference that it uses a 105mm smoothbore gun instead of a rifled gun.
The M series has an additional M72 main battle tank that looks like a T110E5 but is much smaller. The caliber of the main gun is 120mm, which is the most powerful of all new tanks, but it is not as deep as the KL1965-110mm-L60 main gun of the T-66X main battle tank.
These tanks are the concept that the game brings to Zhang Shixin, but the main battle tank will become the mainstream sooner or later, so Zhang Shixin is more of a silent memory of the advantages and disadvantages of these tanks. Then compare with other tanks, eliminate the weak and leave the strong.
The new additions have a line of CHI tanks that extends from the American M4 tanks.
They are: ZH56, ZH60 "South China Tiger", ZH62 "Siberian Tiger", ZH65 "Thunder Dragon", ZH70 "Greedy Wolf".
The Zhm56 looks more like Dumbo, but with a lower hull, the weight cut is used to add a considerable thickness of armor.
The ZH60 "South China Tiger" is a completely self-developed tank developed by CHI, which is similar in appearance to the smaller M26, but adopts the layout of the rear of the turret.
The ZH62 "Siberian Tiger" was reinstalled in the middle of the hull with a semi-circular spherical turret.
The ZH65 "Brontosaurus", with a suspension system of staggered load-bearing wheels, was equipped with a ZP64A-115MM-L65 tank gun.
ZH70 "Greedy Wolf", as the highest level tank of the CHI. In addition to the use of staggered load wheels, the appearance is close to the M1A2, but compared with the M1A2, the surname of the ZH70 "Greedy Wolf" is the T64 level, in addition to a certain advantage in firepower, many other places are flush with the T-64.
……
Zhang Shixin looked at the few new tanks in front of him that he didn't have much hope for in the short term, and the thing that came to mind was that there would be no other world, and all of them were good things.
More concerned than this, he was more concerned about how he would go next.
Because, he had already seen the large building of more than ten floors, just as the old man said, standing among the taller floors nearby, standing out from the crowd.
In contrast to this situation, Zhang Shixin had to mumble a sentence: "I hate these damn high-rise buildings!" ”
