Chapter 360: Nuclear Winter
The gale was howling and the cold was gusting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
An HH-60 helicopter landed at Nassau International Airport. Lena in a thick velvet suit. Fawkes stepped out of the cabin, limp and almost fell. Zhou Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward to hold her and took her out of the range of the rotors.
Looking up at the gray sky, Lena. Fox cursed in a low voice, "This damn weather is really going to exterminate all of us humans." ”
A separate conference room has been set up in the airport terminal, and electric heaters are used to keep the indoor temperature in the midteens. Lena rushed over to the heater as she entered, her hands already red from the cold like carrots.
In the conference room, the high-level leaders of the 'Aurora Legion' were there. A bunch of people gathered around the table, looking at Zhou Qingfeng and Lina who had just come in with solemn faces. The old man Clooney, who had just joined the group, coughed and said, "I think we have to come up with a plan, or we will really freeze to death." ”
Now in the whole world, I am afraid that only the 'Aurora Army' occupying Nassau has made the most adequate preparations for the end times. But this kind of preparation is also extremely ridiculous in the face of the huge catastrophe of nuclear bomb washing.
All the world's major cities have been destroyed by nuclear bombs, and those who have escaped nuclear bombs are not out of the woods. In fact, the direct lethality of a global nuclear explosion is the most inconspicuous, and the secondary damage of a nuclear bomb is devastating. One of the most terrible is nuclear winter!
A global nuclear bomb will kick up huge amounts of smoke and dust, and the fine particles of this smoke will drift into the stratosphere of the earth. Since the air in the stratosphere is largely silent, these fine soot particles will remain in the stratosphere for a long, long time. This is equivalent to covering the earth with a cover, and the sun's rays will not be able to directly hit the surface, and the temperature of the ground will plummet.
Past theories have suggested that the nuclear winter will last for decades. But the latest research suggests that nuclear winter could last up to a year, with an interval of three or four months. But no one knows whether his mother's scientist is accurate or not!
Now that the global temperature has dropped by 20 degrees, a large number of human beings are dying in the cold. The waters of the Bahamas are close to the tropics, but now the cold is almost as cold as the cold zone, and the citizens of Nassau are accustomed to tropical life, and now the cold temperature is coming - in just two days, the streets are full of frozen corpses. The armed forces of the 'Aurora Legion' don't do anything, collect corpses all day long.
New Providence Island, where Nassau is located, has a population of 300,000, and Zhou Qingfeng was worried about how he would feed so many people. But now this problem does not exist, God forbid God forbid that these people can survive 100,000 under the attack of nuclear winter!
Lena returns to Nassau from Newport News with a fleet of rescue carriers. To deal with Nassau's predicament, she had to take the risk of flying along the coastline in a helicopter. After drinking a cup of hot cocoa milk, Miss Fox let out a long sigh of comfort and said, "Now we can only give priority to ensuring our own people, and the others can only say that we have done our best." ”
The 'own people' that Lena refers to refer to only the internal personnel of the 'Aurora Legion', that is, the five hundred core members mentioned by the 'god', and the twenty-five thousand backbone members.
Raymond was Lina's chief assistant, and he hurriedly said: "We got more than 100 ships from Florida, and there are a lot of supplies on board, including more than 300,000 tons of food. For the time being, we are not short of food at all, but we are short of fuel.
Luckily, we still have two of Aurora's nuclear reactors, and now they are running at full capacity. We've connected the island's power grid to the Aurora to ensure that our own people can meet the requirements for the time being. And the aborigines of the island, we really can't do anything about it. ”
Zhou Qingfeng stayed in the world for two months and advanced the NTZ project from 35 to 39, but the follow-up became more and more difficult, and more high-end equipment was needed. And when he returns to the world of the wasteland, he faces the catastrophe of a nuclear winter.
Faced with the dilemma, Zhou Qingfeng ordered: "Organize the people on the island to demolish the houses, most of the houses here are wooden, and they can be demolished and burned for fuel." The rest of the people chose some large buildings to live in. At the same time, armed patrols should be strengthened, and in case of harassment, summary executions would be carried out.
There is also the shelter of a group of high-quality aborigines on the island, especially young women, who are easier to manage and can be used as ordinary laborers. The situation is a little better, and we have to encourage childbearing.
Finally, we need to expand. The closest to us was Cuba, and Lena was in charge of towing the USS Kennedy out of the stranded fjord. I'm here to get the oil refinery in Havana, and hopefully it won't be completely blown up by a nuclear bomb, and it will still be able to refine oil for us. ”
The history of human civilization is the history of the evolution of energy, from firewood to coal to oil, each time is a huge scientific and technological progress. Now, ......, whether or not they can get enough fuel is related to whether the 'Aurora Legion' can continue to develop, and even whether they can survive?
With Lena in charge of the Legion's affairs, Caterina was in charge of Nassau's security and army, and the Butcher and Minsk were still drifting back to Nassau. It can only be that Zhou Qingfeng, the commander of the corps, personally go to Havana, Cuba to see if he can control the Cienfuegos refinery?
Speaking of which, this was a mistake made by Zhou Qingfeng before. He had tried to seize the large oil refinery, but in fact he had forgotten that Havana, the capital of Cuba, would also be hit by a nuclear bomb. Now it's just a matter of trying your luck.
Before leaving, Zhou Qingfeng sent a speedboat to carry out a reconnaissance mission. A small drone aboard the speedboat captured the city of Havana. Not surprisingly, Havana was hit by two nuclear warheads, with a total tonnage of more than 100,000 tons of t*n*t, and most of the entire city was destroyed.
And the drone focused on the Sienfuegos refinery, which was also destroyed decently. However, Zhou Qingfeng had asked the 'Enclave' for a group of petroleum technicians before. After the analysis of these professionals, they said that although the damage to the refinery was severe, it could still be repaired.
Although it could not reach the capacity of processing 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day in its heyday, it was a profit for Zhou Qingfeng to be able to process 1,000 barrels.
The reconnaissance of Havana began, first to determine whether the radiation dose had dropped to a safe level, then to determine how much of the city's population remained, and finally to find a way to send a small force to inspect the site.
Unlike the radiation caused by a nuclear power plant accident, the radiation caused by a nuclear bomb is instantaneous, but it will drop to normal in a few days, and if it rains, the recovery will be faster.
In order to avoid radiation sickness, Zhou Qingfeng delayed for a whole week before leaving for Havana. But when he was about to occupy the refinery with his 200-strong troops, the scouts suddenly gave him the bad news that a group of daring Mexicans had entered the port of Havana from the west, and they had already occupied the refinery.
These people are so boring! (To be continued.) )
