76. Doomsday node
In addition to the strife in the northern region, Wang Lie also described some other related news in his letters, such as the inevitable disappearance of the iron tower from the horizon in the Black Iron City, what is this iron tower? According to the archaeology of this era, it is believed to be an ancient tool for worshiping the gods, and now it has collapsed, and Wang Lie's letter still has a hint of ominous tone, but Shu Han can roughly make a judgment after studying the iron tower described by Wang Lie, that is, the iron tower is a signal tower.
In Hai'an City, there is indeed a signal tower, located in Nanxin District, Hai'an City, by the way, Shu Han lives in the Egret District of Hai'an City, close to the sea, the air can smell the smell of the ocean, because the egrets often moor on the beach here, so it becomes the Egret District, which is a newly incorporated district in recent decades, and more than 30 years ago, it was just a small town, called Egret Town.
The townspeople take fishing as a business, but with the wave of reform to this town, the researchers sent by the state found that this is a very high-quality deep-water port, so a large number of manpower and material resources were mobilized to Egret Town, and finally Egret Town is also famous at home and abroad because of this port, when the Shuhan family moved here, it was already a prosperous population, with more than one million residents, although the name of the town was still on its back, but the GDP was the highest in the entire Hai'an City.
The Nanxin District is an area connected to the middle of the Egret District and the old city of Dinghai District, different from the cultural precipitation of Dinghai District and the trendy Egret District, the style of Nanxin District is biased towards the middle, it is the main living place of the middle class, and the way of life is also a combination of Chinese and Western cultures, its economic level is in the six districts of Hai'an City, second only to Egret and the old city, it is the third largest district of Hai'an City, and the city channel of Hai'an City and the satellite TV station of the two Zhejiang provinces under Hai'an City are also located here, and its double signal tower is also a major symbol of Nanxin District.
When Wang Lie mentioned this signal tower in the letter, Shu Han's heart was naturally extremely excited, if the area in the south is Nanxin District, then the area he is out of now, according to the previous geographical environment, should be the old town of Hai'an City, that is, Dinghai District, then further south, it is very likely to be his former home, Egret District.
This feeling of sudden meeting between the past life and the future life made Shu Han very novel, and at the same time felt a little strange, after all, although Shu Han clearly understood that the world he was in now and the world he really lived in were the relationship between the future and the past, but when he really found the objects related to each other, he was still shocked.
Except for the south and north, there is nothing to describe in the east, a patch of primeval forest covers everything, according to the ancient books left in ancient times, it should be a large ocean, but what it is, Wang Lie does not know, Shu Han naturally has no way to know, as for whether the high-level of Black Iron City knows or not, it is not something that Shu Han can spy on.
And in the west is a big river, completely blocking the pace of the Black Iron City, this river is thousands of meters wide according to Wang Lie's records, and the river is very turbulent, even in winter, it is enough to sink all ships, and in summer, it will even cause waves, which in modern times, only the Amazon River can do, Shu Han thought, this should be the Yangtze River, but compared with the modern Yangtze River, he has become more difficult to control, and it has become more majestic.
As for the reason, it should have a lot to do with geography, but the specific reason, Shu Han doesn't know, but he can be sure that today's Black Iron City does not have the ability to cross this big river, so the people of Black Iron City also call this river a broken river, which means a desperate road, but this river is also the river of life in Black Iron City, and more than 80% of the city's water depends on this river.
It is precisely because of this river that hundreds of thousands of people in Black Iron City can survive and reproduce, so when mentioning this river, most of the residents are very affectionate to call him the father river, as for why it is the father and not the mother, this Shu Han also feels very strange, after all, in modern times, whether it is the Yellow River or the Yangtze River, it is called by the mother, and the motherland is also the motherland, not the motherland.
For this question, Shu Han once asked Bo Rilang, and Bo Rilang's answer was, "Have you ever seen such a grumpy mother?" It can be said that Bo Rilang's answer is quite reasonable, but when I hear it, only people who have not been in contact with women can say it, is there such a grumpy mother?
Of course.
However, this can't be blamed on Bo Rilang, Black Iron City implements a strict child care policy, and when the child has parents, he is already fifteen years old, at this time, he wants them to have the three views of children in traditional families, this is a joke, so he can also understand the thoughts of Bo Rilang and others.
In Wang Lie's letter, in addition to the introduction of geographical knowledge and the latest situation, there is naturally some information about the ruins, although Wang Lie himself has not been to the ruins much, but among his team members, many are veterans in the ruins, through them, Wang Lie learned a lot of news, and they have also written in the letter, which makes Shu Han very moved.
Although Wang Lie was not particularly friendly to himself, since the two sides reached a settlement, Wang Lie really did not have any reservations, and promised himself almost completely, plus Shu Han is not a person who holds grudges, and the friendship between the two can be regarded as a year-old friendship.
In the letters, Wang Lie found a lot of clues, including the timeline question that Shu Han was most concerned about, when was modern society destroyed? This is the answer that Shu Han has been longing for, but in all the books he has bought, this one has been deliberately deleted, and the soldiers outside obviously know some answers, after all, they are members of the exploration team, and they have access to first-hand information, and it is impossible for Black Iron City to modify the information before it is discovered, so some of them know the year.
And when Wang Lie asked them, they didn't have any doubts, after all, for Shu Han, this era name is very important, but for these doomsday people, it is already something that happened in the distant past, so they have no doubts, so they told Wang Lie this time point, and Wang Lie also told Shu Han this time point.
In 2023.
"What the hell, only two years!" Shu Han sat on his office chair, the sun was blazing outside, but Shu Han's heart seemed to be put into an ice cellar, he never thought that this point in time would be so close, so close that it would not even take two years....
