Chapter 16 Joy and Sorrow
Fearing that the crisis had not yet passed, the Yanguo government did not allow the vast majority of the people who had been evacuated to the shelter to come out of the shelter.
Instead, they took advantage of the time when the meteorite had not yet arrived to carry out emergency construction on the shelters that had not yet been completed, hoping to build a few more shelters before the meteorite arrived, so that more people could have a place to live.
At the same time, the government is urgently building support facilities to support the shelters, and at the same time reinforcing and renovating a series of important livelihood support facilities such as power plants and waterworks to ensure that these facilities can survive possible disasters.
You must know that if the meteorite does fall, the surface of the Blue Star will experience a series of disasters including but not limited to earthquakes, fires, meteorite impacts, etc.
If these safeguards fail, it can have a huge impact on the chances of survival of people who have taken refuge in shelters.
Although the news reports seem to be in good shape, large-scale celebrations are taking place in many places abroad, and some cities have even held demonstrations, Chen Xin, who has a strong sense of crisis, feels that the crisis will not be over until the meteorite completely flies away.
He still moved all kinds of supplies and daily necessities to his shelter according to the original plan, and made the final preparations for moving into the shelter.
However, he himself has not yet entered the Vault, after all, there is neither water, electricity, nor Internet signal under the Vault, and staying there will not only consume his reserves, but also not get the latest information.
This is obviously unacceptable to Chen Xin.
I don't know when the disaster will come, I don't know where the meteorite impact will be, I don't know if the crisis will pass......
Just blindly shrinking yourself in an underground shelter and waiting for death is not a stale style.
For him, if the disaster is really coming, then face it head-on, just as he actively prepares shelters and various countermeasures, he prefers to take the initiative and face difficulties head-on, rather than passively waiting for death.
Even if the meteorite really hit his head, Chen Xin would face the direction where the meteorite was flying, raise his middle finger at it, and scolded: "Gan is cold!" ”
Therefore, for Chen Yu, shrinking in the shelter like a turtle with a shrunken head, waiting for fate to determine whether it is the end of the world or a hero to save Blue Star is absolutely unacceptable to him.
That would make him feel that his life was in the hands of someone else, and that he would lose his sense of security even if he hid in an underground shelter.
Because of this, Chen Xin will still stay at home, instead of entering the shelter right now, like some friends in the survival group.
As for the fact that the antenna came out of the shelter to receive radio and television signals or something, it was not impossible, but Chen Xin gave up this idea after thinking about it.
This is not to say that Chen Xin found it difficult for him to hide in the shelter and listen to the radio, but because Chen Xin did not plan to prop up his antenna before the meteorite actually fell.
According to Chen Xin's prediction, as the meteorite hits the blue star, the EMP shock wave generated by the ionosphere that was disturbed at the time of impact is enough to destroy most of the electrical and electronic equipment on the surface, and the ensuing disasters will likely destroy vulnerable external devices such as antennas in the impact of the first wave of disasters.
So on the one hand, it was to save, and on the other hand, it was also unnecessary, so Chen Xin didn't put up his antenna.
He prepared a shortwave antenna that could still work normally in a low temperature environment of minus 70 degrees, and this kind of high-end goods could not be obtained casually.
Even if Chen Xin used the help of his friends' connections, he finally managed to get two Russian-made military supplies, this kind of thing obviously couldn't just be taken out and used as consumables, Chen Xin packed them in a box and wrapped them in tin foil and put them in his big iron box, planning to wait for the environment to stabilize after the meteorite impact before taking them out and using them.
The tin foil is to prevent damage to the antenna caused by the EMP shock wave, which Chen Xin learned from the movie, although it is not as good as putting things in the microwave oven, but at least it can protect these fragile electronic devices as much as possible.
After all, he is in an underground shelter, and the essence of the EMP shock wave is still an electromagnetic wave, and the penetration ability of the soil layer is insufficient, plus the metal box and tin foil, it is enough in terms of protection.
After packing up all his things, Chen Xin was still sitting in front of the TV while swiping his mobile phone, while paying attention to the latest news on the TV, as for the computer, it had already been sent to the shelter.
The rescue operation is still being broadcast live on the TV, but apparently the attention has decreased, and although it is still broadcast live on all channels, the content of the live broadcast already has studio footage, instead of only the command hall and the footage captured by the spacecraft as before.
At this time, the Lucian spacecraft had arrived at the intended position, the meteorite had appeared in the footage of the Lucian spacecraft, and the accompanying nuclear warheads were ready to attack.
Looking at the emotions of both the host and the experts invited in the studio on the TV showed an optimistic and relaxed attitude, Chen Xin also felt that this wave seemed to be stable.
At this moment, it was not a few nuclear warheads that arrived at the attack position with the Lucian spacecraft, but a strategic nuclear warhead with a yield of more than 200 rounds and tens of millions of tons.
If it weren't for the meteorite, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Blue Star Five to come up with so many nuclear warheads at one time, this is the first time in human history that so many nuclear weapons have been used, even if it is a nuclear test by each country, it has never used so many nuclear bombs at one time.
More than 20 nuclear warheads with a yield of 10 million tons bombarded a target with a diameter of four kilometers, which was enough to blow up this meteorite into slag in the true sense of the word.
However, just when Chen Xinxing was excitedly watching the picture captured by the Lucia spacecraft broadcast on the TV, ready to appreciate how the nuclear warhead blew up the meteorite, the space command center on the screen was suddenly in chaos, as if something unexpected had happened, so that the Lucia spacecraft's attack mission was temporarily suspended.
Chen Xin was a little unclear, so he changed several sets in a row, all of which were in the same situation.
Just when he was puzzled, the live host on the TV finally figured out what the situation was, and said to the camera with a pale face: "The meteorite that was originally pushed off the impact orbit was torn into three meteorites with a diameter of five kilometers due to the gravitational pull of the Blue Star, and was captured by the gravity of the Blue Star, and is currently flying towards the Blue Star!" ”
