Chapter 956 [A Sharp Contrast Between Home and Abroad]
Although the solar storm did not pose a direct threat to the lives of the people in their cities, the secondary disasters caused by the unfavorable prevention became the biggest man-made disaster.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the backwoods don't have much of an impact, so for people living in Africa, solar storms have more of an impact on them than a rare night scene in the sky.
As the minutes ticked by, dawn dawned in the Western Hemisphere, but the skies over many metropolises were indeed filled with gunsmoke and fires.
Under the colorful aurora, it looks very strange.
The transportation system of the metropolises in Europe and the United States has suffered a heavy blow, urban traffic is basically paralyzed, every major road has become a large cemetery for cars, the electromagnetic pulse carried by solar storms has caused damage to the circuits in the car, basically all the vehicles are lying on their stomachs, and there are countless traffic accidents such as serial rear-end collisions in various cities.
In comparison, the traffic arteries of the major cities in China are neat and clean, because they were arranged early, and all the high-speed rail network systems that consume electricity have stopped.
There was not a single traffic accident.
For long-distance transportation, rather "primitive" diesel-powered diesel locomotives are used, which are not hit by the solar wind, and the walk-behind tractors in the countryside still fly up.
……
On November 8th, the world returned to the "Steam Age", and many places in Europe and the United States directly entered the "Mad Max" wasteland era.
Today, the "supermarket zero yuan purchase" has ended, because the major local supermarkets have all been emptied, snatched up, and cannot be purchased.
The ensuing burglary has become the norm in the local area, and then it is accompanied by shootings, some people who do not believe in evil try to die on the spot, and it is strange that social security is not in a straight line, although North America has declared a state of emergency, but security resources are really limited, and it is impossible to cover everything.
It is not uncommon for some local people with detached families to suddenly evaporate from the world, and now most of the civilians can only rely on self-help, and frequent murders have become a daily routine in Europe and the United States, where the organizational capacity is relatively low, and in Europe and the United States where there is no Taisho Prefecture.
After more than 20 hours of commotion and chaos, the city was basically paralyzed, without water, electricity, and food, and it was impossible to survive in the city and had to leave.
……
A small local town in Oregon.
"Fortunately, the underground storage is safe and secure, and this food should be able to sustain our family for three months, and after three months, this chaos should be over." In a small family, the hostess taps on the belongings.
Their residence has a huge underground warehouse, which has been built in the Cold War era, in that era of magnesium and Soviet hegemony shrouded in nuclear haze, when the people of magnesium were worried about the coming of nuclear war, so many nuclear evacuation facilities were built, which played a more or less positive role in the current period of turmoil caused by the solar storm.
"Three months? You're so naïve, baby, I don't think we will be able to recover in three years, and we won't be able to survive for three months, or winter will come soon, and without heating, we will freeze to death if we don't starve to death, and we may not even survive the first winter. Her husband said.
"God, what are we going to do?"
"The authorities can't count on it, we have to save ourselves, we can't stay in Oregon, we can't stay in high latitudes, we have to move south."
"To the south? Where to go? ”
"Mexico!"
……
On November 10, three days after the storm fell, an unprecedented phenomenon occurred, with a significant increase in the number of people in Europe, especially in Northern Europe, and North America moving to low-dimensional subtropical or tropical regions such as the south.
Most of the so-called developed countries in Europe and the United States are located at high latitudes, and the local people are likely to not survive the first winter of a solar storm without heating and a strong Taisho government.
The local people are also very "conscious", they do not have much confidence in their own authorities, they are busy saving themselves, making plans in advance, and running away before the winter hits.
Ironically, the Magnesia people built a wall on the Mexican border to prevent Latin American refugees from smuggling into the country, but now they are blocking the American people who are going south.
……
Science and Technology Complex Building.
An Qingxue took a paper document and read a briefing to Luo Sheng: "Moore's telegram transmitted back from the world, the current situation in overseas regions such as Europe and the United States is that the social order is basically in a semi-paralyzed state, the secondary disasters caused by solar storms are continuous, and a large number of people living in high latitudes are pouring towards the equator. ”
Luo Sheng, who was holding Erlang's legs, was stunned: "Oh, those people in the United States are dragged like 2580,000, self-proclaimed God's voters, they go to Mexico and Latin America with a large number of votes, and they will inevitably occupy a lot of local resources, and the contradictions are inevitable, and the conflict will only become more intense, which is really a deep situation." ”
After a while, An Qingxue continued: "Domestically, there has also been a large influx of Russians from Siberia into our country in our northern border areas...... Judging from the current international situation, Europe and the United States may collapse in this way. ”
Luo Sheng smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not going to be sluggish, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the overall size of Europe and the United States is there, at least it can keep important industries, but most of these industries should belong to private enterprises, as for whether electricity and social order can be restored quickly, it depends on whether their God bless them." ”
An Qingxue: "Bima Dake is dead after all." ”
Luo Sheng glanced at her: "When did you learn to lift the bar?" …… Dislike. ”
This cosmic catastrophe is "fair" for every country in the world, and everyone has been hit at the same level, but the domestic response is in stark contrast with the international comparison.
Domestic power companies do what they say, cut off power when they say they are power-off, and pull the gate when they say they pull the gate.
Three days have passed, the solar storm has actually passed, the power supply system inside the science and technology complex building has been restarted, major cities and places across the country are stepping up the investigation of power stations, invested in infrastructure restoration, is rapidly recovering basic industries, the relevant emergency teams in various cities have begun to take the lead in the city in accordance with the plan to repair and restore key infrastructure such as water plants, food processing plants, power plants, etc.
In particular, water plants and food processing plants should be repaired and restored as the first priority, so as to reduce the threat of food shortages or even food shortages as much as possible, and the city's sewage system should also be a priority, otherwise health and safety cannot be guaranteed.
For a long time, it is impossible for ordinary people to get electricity supply in their homes, so they must be strictly controlled to ensure that the power supply of key facilities is supplied, and then gradually restore the energy supply of major cities.
On November 14, Luo Sheng came to the headquarters of Star Arrow International and officially signed and approved the launch document of the "Qunxing Project" today, and the launch date of the first batch of satellites was set for December 2 and announced to the public.
This means that the global network outage will not last long, and the domestic network communication system will be restored as a priority.
