Chapter 9: The Countdown to the End of the World
"Coins, it's time to eat. Now breakfast is getting worse and harder, and many shops are closed. If this continues, I guess we will have to make our own breakfast in the future. Zhao Ming came in with breakfast and said with an unhappy face.
"Okay, it's good to eat some. But in a few days, we will really have to do it ourselves, not to mention the breakfast shop, the restaurant will be closed. Xiang Qian has long known this, and there is nothing strange about it.
"I don't know what the above thinks, I refuted the rumors at first, but now I let it go. And I've heard that the army has entered the city, and now many military vehicles are patrolling the streets, and anyone who makes trouble will be arrested. Moreover, there are many missile vehicles with more than 20 wheels deployed around Nanjing, which are nuclear warheads. Zhao Ming said nervously.
"What's so strange about that, Nanjing and Shanghai are both big cities, and the Yangtze River Delta region is densely populated, so it's strange if the country doesn't make arrangements. Those Zhenguo artifacts are to intercept large meteorites and prevent those large meteorites from falling into the city, otherwise a meteorite with a diameter of more than 3o meters will fall in the city, and Nanjing will basically be finished. ”
Xiang Qian knew very well what those ballistic missiles were used for, but he had no hope for the success rate of interception.
Because when many meteorites pass through the atmosphere, the shock wave generated by its own friction against the atmosphere will oscillate and dissolve itself, which also causes the meteorite to decompose into many small meteorites and hit the ground after passing through the atmosphere. And the chance of a ballistic trajectory hitting an entire meteorite after it is shot out is too small.
However, the power of the explosion will impact those meteorite fragments a little farther, so where there is a ballistic ballistic deployment, it will be relatively safe.
"No, we won't be that kind of back. The meteorite is so fast, can the missile intercept it? Zhao Ming was startled and said.
"What are you excited about, the plan to intercept meteorites was not thought up in one day or two days, in fact, a long time ago, countries around the world formulated plans to intercept asteroids and meteorites that can threaten the earth. The United States' "Space Monitoring Program", "Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking Program", our country's "Schmidt CCD Asteroid Program", and Europe's "Low-Earth Orbit Protective Shield Program" are all plans specifically for asteroids and meteorites to hit the earth.
So you can relax, eat and drink well, meteorites will not hit you on the head. Xiang Qian said angrily.
After a while, the two finished breakfast, and before they could get up, Boss Li ran in.
"Two bosses, I'm sorry, I can't do this project anymore." Boss Li said in a hoarse voice, his eyes were bloodshot and his beard was not shaved, and he looked like he hadn't slept well for a long time.
"Lao Li, what's wrong, don't you think you have less money, if the money is less, let's add more, you can't just do it halfway through and stop doing it." Zhao Ming immediately stood up and said, he was influenced by Xiang Qian, and he didn't treat money as money anymore.
"The two bosses, it's not about money, it's really impossible to do it. In order to rush this project, I found a lot of people in other construction teams, but those people are not doing it now, and they are clamoring to go home. The two bosses of the current world also know that rice is not easy to buy, as long as it is grain, as soon as it is taken out and sold, it will be robbed in less than a few minutes.
And there are rumors circulating that a meteorite will hit the earth a few days later, and everyone is in no mood to continue doing it, and they are all thinking about going home, and it is not a matter of money at all. If it weren't for my high wages, they would have left two days ago, and now I really can't keep them. Boss Li said in a hoarse voice.
Although Boss Li's voice was hoarse, he also lowered his head when he spoke. However, Xiang Qian knew that now not only those workers wanted to go home, but even Boss Li also wanted to go home, otherwise now that most of the project was completed, it would be impossible to give up just after giving up.
"Boss Li, I won't say much else, if you want to leave now, you won't stay. You should know what will happen in a few days, you can guess what I built this wall for, and you should have seen the food and other necessities when you entered the yard.
Do you want to be able to buy food for yourself if the end of the world comes, how long can the food you buy now last, and is the place where you live safe? If Boss Li can finish building this wall, then I promise Boss Li that there is a place for you to live here. Xiang Qian said calmly.
Boss Li was indeed tempted after hearing this, but when he thought about it, his children were still waiting for him, so he had to grit his teeth and refuse.
Xiang Qian didn't react to Boss Li's refusal, anyway, now that the wall has been built 2 meters high, it is enough for him to pull up the wire grid himself, so he didn't force Boss Li to stay.
"What can I do now, it's only halfway through the construction, and the 2-meter-high wall can't be climbed over casually and comes in." After Boss Li left, Zhao Ming said depressedly.
"It's okay, don't worry about this now, you can call your uncles and aunts, don't stay in the city anymore. I also went to call my dad and asked them to come over too. After Xiang Qian finished speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and started to call.
In the afternoon, Zhao Ming's parents arrived first, and Xiang Qian had known them since he was a child, so he chatted very happily after meeting. And Xiang Gan's father arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at the same time, they were accompanied by their father's driver Zhang Lei and Zhang Lei's old mother.
A group of people worked hard for a long time, cleaned up the room and everything, and made a hearty dinner. After a meal, most of the people were drunk.
"Brother Lei, do you still have any trusted comrades-in-arms, even those who are not doing very well now, can you call them all. As you can see, there are plenty of living materials here, but just a few of us, if someone comes to rob us, we may not be able to keep it. Xiang Qian called Zhang Lei out alone and said to him.
He knew that Zhang Lei was retired from a special force of the country, but he didn't know what kind of special force it was, and Zhang Lei didn't say anything. The reason why Zhang Lei was able to be a driver for his father was that Zhang Lei's old mother was sick and had no money for treatment, and his father happened to be in the hospital for an examination, and was moved by Zhang Lei's filial piety, so he casually put the money on the mat, and he didn't think about asking Zhang Lei to pay it back.
But I didn't expect that half a month later, Zhang Lei went to his father's house and said that he wanted to be a bodyguard for his father. At that time, no one believed it, knowing that Zhang Lei bent a steel bar by hand, and then straightened it, Xiang Gan's father knew that he had picked up the treasure. Since then, Zhang Lei has been working as a driver for his father for two years.
"Let me ask." Zhang Lei thought for a while, nodded and said.
"Okay." Xiang Qian knew that this was done, Zhang Lei usually didn't speak, but as long as he agreed, he would definitely be able to do it.
In the next few days, the two families didn't go anywhere, staying at home with peace of mind, only Zhang Lei was elusive, going out during the day and coming back at night, and after coming back, he didn't know what he was doing with the winding wall. Zhao Ming followed Zhang Lei curiously for a long time, but he didn't see anything.
Only Xiang Qian knew that Zhang Lei had set up a lot of guard points by the fence and in his yard, and Zhang Lei could know it at the first time.
On the day of the 19th, the country officially issued a red alert for the defense against meteorite impacts, and at the same time opened the air-raid shelters in major cities across the country, these air-raid shelters have been cleaned by the state in the past ten days, although because they have not been used for a long time, there is still a bit of musty smell inside, but there is no big problem for people to go in.
On the 2O, the air raid siren sounded throughout the country, and the residents of high-rise buildings basically lived in bomb shelters, the whole country imposed a curfew, and the army took over the security of major cities in an all-round way. At this time, if those gangsters or people who feel that they are very good dare to jump and shoot them directly, they will not talk nonsense with you.
On the 21st, the national school holiday and factories were suspended, and even the government departments, except for the two special departments of the temporary command center for meteorite impact defense and the meteorite impact rescue and disaster relief headquarters, most of the government departments have already gone to work. People all over the country are watching TV at home, hoping that the catastrophe will really be just a false alarm, as it is broadcast on television.
After Xiang Qian had breakfast, he moved a chair on the balcony, and he leaned back on the chair quietly, waiting for the disaster to come.
