Shanghai.

Lin Hai, a college student, has been tinkering with the recovery of his Azure mobile phone in the past two days, according to the relevant prevention knowledge, his mobile phone successfully escaped this catastrophe, but he didn't expect that the microwave oven can really effectively resist the electromagnetic pulse, of course, he also made multiple other protective guarantees.

During these days, Lin Hai relied on his handmade hand-cranked generator for a day and a half, and finally charged his Azure phone to about 15%.

The unicorn arm is almost trained, and the efficiency is low, but it is better than nothing.

"Haha, it's done!"

After Lin Hai turned on the phone, he was overjoyed to hear the familiar boot ringtone, and swiped and clicked on the screen for a while to confirm that the phone could be used normally, but there was no signal and network.

After a while, Lin Hai turned on the video and started recording the video.

"Welcome to the 'Age of Steam', today is November 21, 2021, and what I'm currently experiencing makes me subconsciously think of a Hollywood movie "Mad Max", and the magic is that the movie is set in a coincidental year."

"Let's talk about the current situation, today is two weeks after the solar storm fell, and the power has not been restored, no, in fact, there is already electricity, but it is only in key places such as medical institutions that have electricity, and there is still no electricity in ordinary homes."

"It is said that it will be difficult to restore the power supply level before the storm in the next one to three years, the solar storm blows so much, all the wires have to be investigated, replaced, and this work has to be done nationwide, the project is unimaginable, even in the first-tier cities I even doubt that my home can be electrified in a year to put a question mark, but the official said that after a year, the country's power restoration situation can reach the level of the early nineties of the last century."

"I heard that now as long as you go to work in food processing factories, electronics factories, water factories and other institutions, you can rub some electricity for free, which allows mobile phone charging, but people can only bring one mobile phone, by the way, you can also bring an additional power bank, many people have applied for this electricity."

"Now that the whole people are basically unemployed, these jobs that are usually not welcomed are in short supply, and you don't have to be surprised that the worker on the assembly line of an electronic components factory is a doctoral student."

“emmm…… This is an era without the Internet, you can't go online, all the Internet celebrities are unemployed, the courier brother and the takeaway brother are all laid off, but there is no Internet, the junk news and all kinds of Internet scolding are gone, and the keyboard warrior is gone, which is barely good news. ”

"There is no shortage of food, before the storm came China's official data has been revealed, the current national grain reserves can probably support the national people's food ration consumption for three years, the food crisis has not appeared, but it is basically impossible to eat big fish and meat as before, and there is no need to think about fresh food."

"There is no Internet, and the entertainment is also very monotonous, playing mahjong, fighting landlords, killing the Three Kingdoms, etc., or looking up at the stars in a daze, but now there is no light pollution, and now the night sky in Shencheng is the most brilliant I have ever seen, and it may be even worse in the future."

"Winter is coming, the temperature has dropped significantly, this time is really envious of friends in the south, all year round like spring, do not worry about eating, fruits and seafood or something, do not worry about the lack of entertainment activities, the south is too cool."

"There is no Internet, but now there is public broadcasting, of course, you can also tune the frequency yourself if you have electricity, and you can also understand the information outside, I heard that there is chaos abroad, and more than 800,000 people have died in the beautiful country because of the secondary disasters and man-made disasters of the storm, and more than 1.3 million people have died worldwide."

"Hearing these shocking figures, I am even more sincerely grateful to the motherland, we are not living in a peaceful era, but we are lucky to live in a peaceful country, and there is a group of people whose names you don't know are carrying the weight for you."

"The good news is that today's broadcast news in the urban area said that on December 2, Star and Arrow International will launch three rockets with one arrow and multiple satellites on the same day, and nearly 800 small satellites will be sent into space, and on December 3, it will cover the two major industrial economic belts of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta."

"In other words, the Shencheng where I am located will have an Internet in less than two weeks or so, and the archbishop is mighty!"

"Look at this, light guide Li-Fi and wireless network card, hehe."

"At present, all the broadband is off, the optical fibers are GG, don't count on them in the next few years, if you want to quickly experience Internet surfing, you have to use a wireless network card, the current price of Nima has increased twenty times and may not be able to buy, witty as I prepared two sets before the storm came, I knew that I would prepare more to sell now, and I missed an opportunity to make a fortune, and my heart hurts."

"Lying baking~, it's out of power so soon? Well, if you record it later, it seems that you need to find a class, and tomorrow you will go to a nearby canned food processing factory to see if you can get in, and only by entering the factory can you rub off the precious electricity energy. ”

Lin Hai, who finished recording the video diary, immediately went to look through his power bank and tested it to see if it could still be used.

……

On the same day, the North American Rust Belt.

The temperature has turned cold, but today the city of St. Louis is bustling with people, with more than 100,000 people gathering in local squares and roads.

There are crowds of people and people's voices.

"Sir, Kevin Salon, have you locked on, do you want to kill him?"

"No one is allowed to do anything without my orders, if he dies here, it will cause uncontrollable chaos, Kevin Salonn can only die in an accident, not be murdered, do you understand?"

“Yes，Sir！”

At this moment, there are hundreds of thousands of low-level civilians gathered in St. Louis City, and if the people who come to China to eat melons see the scene here, they will definitely be confused, and call them insiders.

The most striking thing about these gatherers is that almost every one of them has two farm tools, a sickle and a hammer, and they look like nails in each of them.

They crossed and held their scythes and hammers high in their hands, forming a symbol that was most hated by the elite of the beautiful country.

Kevin Saron, the initiator of this rally.

At this moment, he was standing on a high platform at the scene, holding a traditional megaphone in his hand, and after he suppressed the gesture, the restlessness of the scene gradually calmed down, and everyone's eyes gradually focused on him.

In this moment of great anticipation, Kevin Salonn said impassionedly, "Look at everything that is happening around you, and look at what you are going through, have you had enough?" ”

Before the words fell, the crowd suddenly responded, raising the sickle and hammer in their hands.

Kevin Salonn pressed the gesture again and exclaimed: "We urgently need more than ever an ability that can deprive capitalists of making short-term decisions based on profits, because such decisions are threatening our very existence at all times." ”

"I have ten questions in my mind, have you ever asked them?"

"No.1: Why does the world around us seem so chaotic?"

"No.2: Why are so many people in our community, millions of people dying because of the redwood plague and solar storms?"

"No.3: Why can't we control the situation?"

"No.4: Why did we lose our jobs?"

"No.5: Why have small businesses in our community disappeared?"

"No.6: Why do we have to find three jobs to survive?"

"No.7: Why is our health insurance so expensive?"

"No.8: Why can't we afford a college education?"

"No.9: Why doesn't Amazon pay taxes, but we do?"

"No.10: Why is there so much hatred and resentment now?"

Ten questions came out, once again aroused the excitement of the audience, every question went straight to the bottom of the heart, most of the people gathered here are actually unable to go south, most of the rich people in North America have gone to low-dimensional regions such as Mexico for vacation, and at the moment they are already comfortably enjoying the sun on the Caribbean beach.

Kevin Salon, who is also getting better, saw him speak impassionedly again:

"Maybe you think the answers to these questions are much deeper than 'that's the truth,' 'the authorities are the problem,' and 'those people are the problem.'" Maybe you're still wondering, is there a better alternative than what we have now? The current economic system in the United States does not make everyone richer, but only a few people richer. ”

"Join us, unity is our slogan, and we will unite all industrial workers, low-wage workers, gig workers, unemployed people, scientists, philosophers, free-thinking scholars, health care workers, educators, and people from all walks of life across the United States...... We welcome women, African-American, Hispanic, LGBTQ people, and people from other oppressed communities to join. ”

"We will work together to build a positive community without any discrimination and where all people have a voice......"

Against the backdrop of solar storms, a cosmic catastrophe sweeping the world, Kevin Salon's sudden rise to prominence at this time has gained a lot of support in a short period of time.

The result is an already volatile situation that is fraught with uncertainty.

But then again, Kevin Salone has also done a lot of work, actively organizing the local people at the bottom of society to deal with the coming winter, otherwise people living in high latitudes may have frozen to death in the tens of thousands.

What was happening here in North America was also transmitted back to China through telegrams, and it also reached Luo Sheng's ears, and he also became very interested in this person.

There is no doubt that Kevin Salon's figure has become the focus of the current discussion, and his influence is gradually expanding in Europe and the United States.

There is a kind of heroic posture in troubled times, the times create heroes, and the sky descends from the sky.
