"Dididi, Didi......" The alarm clock rang, and Chen Xin opened his eyes and got up from the bed.

Brushing his teeth, washing his face, and the dry and wet separate toilet in the car allowed Chen Xin to even take a shower, but there was no such need in the morning, so he didn't go into the bathroom.

After tidying up his personal hygiene, Chen Xin came to the cooking table, broke the energy bars attached to the two shelter food, put them in a cup, added a little salt and sugar, and brewed them with hot water to serve as his breakfast.

Eating this semi-liquid breakfast, Chen Xin tasted the half-salty and non-sweet taste brewed from the energy bar in the cup, and couldn't help muttering: "If there is less sugar, it seems that you can grow some coffee beans and beets in the future." ”

While muttering this, Chen Xin came to the cab, put the cup in his hand into the cup tray on the operating table, and at the same time, he also turned on the map projection on the operating table, thinking about how to go today.

The city where Chen Xin's home is located is the northern gate of Hunan Province, and leaving the administrative scope of this city is equivalent to leaving Hunan Province and entering the boundary of Hubei Province.

Chen Xin is still very familiar with this part of the road, after all, in the past, his parents would take him here every year to soak in the hot springs.

Moreover, Hubei Province, a city adjacent to Hunan Province, is also very famous in history, and Su Shi's famous poem "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" mentioned in the "Three Kingdoms Zhoulang Chibi" is located in this named city.

Speaking of the famous Battle of Chibi, in addition to being related to this city, it also has a deep relationship with the city where Chen Xin's home is located.

After all, the Yueyang Tower, which is also famous for thousands of years, was originally the parade building for the training of the Eastern Wu Lusu army, and the Sanjiangkou where the Cao army and the Eastern Wu coalition army fought fiercely in the Battle of Chibi is the mouth of the Yangtze River where Dongting Lake enters the Yangtze River, and it is the place where the Jingjiang, Yuanjiang and Xiangjiang rivers meet.

It can be said that the battle of Chibi back then had a deep relationship with these two cities.

However, as Su Shi said, "The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the eternal romantic figures", more than 2,000 years have already washed away the traces left by those former heroes and heroes, and now even those traces engraved on the mountains and rocks have been covered by ice and snow.

I wonder if in another hundred years, will anyone still remember that there was such a legendary war under this ice and snow?

Chen Xin had such an idea in his mind, but he didn't rely on the idea of hanging the ancient battlefield, the route he planned was to pass through the Chibi urban area, and he would not reach the ancient battlefield by the Yangtze River.

On the way forward Chen Xin, he would pass by a hot spring resort, which made Chen Xin couldn't help but be interested, and at the same time had some nostalgia, after all, his parents took him to the hot springs and went to that resort.

Just by the way, Chen Xin did not change his direction, finished the breakfast in the cup, sent the cup back to the kitchen table to wash, and poured himself a cup of hot water, Chen Xin then let go of the hoe used to fix the body under the car, started the engine, and continued to move forward.

Due to geological activities, there are abundant geothermal resources in this area of Hubei Province, coupled with abundant water resources, which has created the reputation of the hot spring city here.

In the past, hot springs may have only been used for leisure and vacation, and geothermal development may not have been applied on a large scale due to technical reasons, but in the current environment, a hot spring can affect the life and death of countless people.

If you build a shelter around a hot spring, you need water, heating, and electricity...... It can be solved by geothermal resources, and it can be said that as long as the geothermal resources can be effectively utilized, they will be able to survive in the current apocalypse.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh that there was a large circle of hot springs around his city, but there were no hot springs in his city itself.

Even the hot spring water in his shelter was produced by the earthquake before, and even if he wanted to use geothermal resources, he did not have enough geothermal resources to use, so he could only use shallow geothermal energy, which made people envious of the natural geothermal resources of the surrounding cities.

However, there are pros and cons to this, as the abundance of geothermal resources also means that underground magmatic activity is relatively abundant, and the impact of meteorite impacts is likely to exacerbate geological activity and cause magma eruptions in areas with weak surfaces.

This is also dangerous for geothermal rich areas.

Although there are no volcanoes in this generation of areas on the border between Hubei and Hunan provinces, it is very likely that new volcanoes will be formed due to earthquakes and other reasons, after all, the volcanic belts and seismic zones on the blue star are highly overlapping.

Fortunately, Chen Xin's worries did not happen, and he did not see a volcano along the way, but when he arrived at the location of the original hot spring resort, he found a shelter built around the hot spring through the radar on the car and the infrared camera of the drone.

"A spa refuge? It's really built around hot springs! Chen Xin looked at the picture transmitted by the drone on the monitor, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although the shelter is built around the hot springs and relies on the original hot spring resort, the surface is still covered with a thick layer of snow, but it is affected by the relatively high internal temperature, and the vents and gates of the shelter have obvious heat sources, which are very obvious under the infrared vision of the drone.

Looking at the shelter in front of him, Chen Xin did not rush forward, although he was curious about what the shelter built around the hot spring was like, he did not visit this shelter directly.

He had only been on his way for a few days, and he had plenty of supplies on board, so he didn't need to replenish them.

What's more, even if he wanted to replenish supplies, Chen Xin still preferred to replenish them after entering Chibi City, rather than replenishing them in the shelter in front of him.

So although he was curious about how the shelter in front of him used geothermal resources, Chen Xin was not the kind of person who would take risks for his own curiosity, and after thinking about it, he gave up the idea of contacting this shelter.

Continuing along the road, just in case, Chen Xin released a second reconnaissance drone, allowing the two drones to monitor the situation in front of and behind him, and at the same time, he also turned on the radio next to the console.

In this car, Chen Xin installed a high-power shortwave radio, which can transmit signals up to 6,000 kilometers away under good conditions, and last night when he was idle and bored, he did receive a message in Russian.

Chen Xin didn't understand Russian very well, he tried to send a reply in English, the other party seemed to be very excited, muttering a lot, but Chen Xin barely understood, the two sides talked for a long time, but did not establish effective communication.

However, Chen Xin could hear that the other party was still very happy to receive the information, and his tone was full of excitement.

As long as the frequency and conditions of shortwave communication are appropriate, it is not particularly difficult to talk to people all over the world.

For example, in the radio station that Chen Xin opened now, there is a voice that he can't understand at all, and he can't even tell what language it is.

Chen Xin felt a little helpless and adjusted the frequency of the radio station, but did not receive other signals.

This made him feel a little regretful, so he could only turn off the radio again and drive on.

The road from this hot spring shelter to Chibi city seems to be often passed by vehicles, and it is believed that the exchange between this hot spring shelter and Chibi city is left, which also makes the road smooth and easy to walk.

Chen Xin followed the traces of the ruts, and the speed of the car was much faster, according to his estimate, he might be able to reach Chibi City before noon.

Although it is a road, it is actually buried by snow, and even the roadside is flat, burying all the farmland that Chen Xin had in his impression deep under the snow.

"I don't know if these fields can be ......planted when the snow melts," Chen Xin couldn't help but have this idea in his mind, but he quickly laughed dumbly.

Even if the ash burned by the previous global fires can increase soil fertility as an inorganic fertilizer, when the snow melts, the snow will be more than a meter thick and turn this place into a muddy swamp.

Maybe then there will be no need for human beings to cultivate farmland, right? After all, it is a long time to wait until the snow melts, and during this time, humans are affected by extreme cold and lack of sunlight, and the pattern of agricultural production should change a lot.

After all, agriculture now relies on greenhouses and artificial light sources, and even if the light is restored in the future, it is not easy to plant on the surface only by building greenhouses and clearing the snow on the surface.

Coupled with the progress and improvement of human science and technology over a long period of time, it may be that human beings will adopt more efficient planting methods instead of traditional farming.

Maybe you can develop in this area yourself?

Chen Xin thought of the upgraded planting greenhouse in his home, and felt that the multi-layer three-dimensional planting system was very valuable for promotion, but he had no way to replicate this system in other places now, and maybe he could study it after he went back.

With a decision in his heart, there was no trace of other moving objects behind him, so Chen Xin planned to take back the second reconnaissance drone.

But just as he was about to do so, the sky suddenly lit up, and a bright fireball lit up the pitch-black sky, cutting through the sky in the billowing smoke and dust, and falling towards the earth.

Chen Xin looked at the huge fireball in surprise, he was stunned by what he saw in front of him, he hadn't seen what the sky looked like when it lit up for more than half a year.

However, as the fireball got closer and closer to the ground, he was also awakened by the light that was gradually brightening in front of him, and hurriedly stepped on the brakes, making the car stop urgently, and at the same time, he hurriedly put down the hoe under the car, fixed the body, and prepared to meet the impact caused by the fireball falling to the ground.
