Chapter 9 Where to go

Long Fei looked in the direction of the explosion, his expression becoming serious. He walked up to Dr. Wang and asked, "Dr. Wang, you are most familiar with the base, where do you think this explosion happened?" ”

Dr. Wang looked at the location of the explosion just now, and now the sea was still bubbling and a large amount of black smoke was coming out. He estimated the location and said: "It should be the location of the tidal generator set, which is likely to have been destroyed by high explosives." The power supply to the base is all provided by tidal generator sets, and now the entire base should be cut off. This generator set is located next to the base and is closely connected to the base. With such a huge explosion, it is estimated that the base will soon be flooded by seawater. ”

Long Fei pondered for a while and asked, "I remember that the base walkway is segmented, and each section has a sealed door, and if the base is damaged, will the sealed door be closed?" ”

Dr. Wang nodded, "Yes, each sealed door has a backup power supply, and if the base is attacked or damaged, the sealed door will automatically close and must be opened manually. ”

"Can it be opened from the inside?" Long Fei asked with some concern.

"Yes!"

Long Fei said anxiously: "Not good! Dr. Black Dragon is going to escape, I'm going to find Dr. Black Dragon. Dr. Wang, you organize everyone to prioritize the rescue of important things. ”

"Okay! Be careful yourself! Dr. Wang also became anxious, and hurried to gather everyone after speaking.

Long Fei walked straight towards the entrance of the base, the outside gate had a backup power supply, and after being confirmed by a physiological scan, he successfully entered the tunnel. And when he walked to the elevator, he found that the elevator had stopped running. So he pulled out his Tang knife, pried open the elevator door, and then climbed along the elevator passage to the base at the bottom.

Below, as Long Fei said, there is no water for the time being. Red lights lit up throughout the base, and warnings kept coming: "The base has been severely damaged, please evacuate from the safe passage immediately." ”

Long Fei walked straight towards the room where Dr. Black Dragon was, and on the way, he manually opened the sealed doors one after another. At this time, the sealed door in front of him opened again, and he could go to the room where Dr. Black Dragon was imprisoned.

"All the sealed doors in front are closed, indicating that Dr. Black Dragon is not escaping from this side." After Long Fei made a judgment, he manually opened the sealed door.

The door opened immediately, and before he could react, the rushing sea washed him dazed.

He gripped the edge of the sealed door with both hands to keep himself from being swept away by the sea. As the water continues to flow in, there is less and less room for water to enter, and the current gradually slows down.

Long Fei freed his hand and closed the closed door beside him, and the sea water finally stopped flowing. He noticed that the light in front of him was getting dimmer, so he turned on the night vision function of his glasses and continued to swim towards the room where Dr. Black Dragon was. Swimming to the door, he found that the door had been opened, the house was flooded with seawater, and there was still the shadow of Dr. Black Dragon around.

He continued to swim forward, only to find that the sealed doors along the way had been opened. He speculated that if Dr. Black Dragon wanted to escape, there was only one way in front of him, so he continued to swim forward. Whenever he couldn't hold his breath, he opened the door that closed on the side and used the air in the room to ventilate before the sea water had completely poured in.

After about 3-5 gas changes, Long Fei finally swam to the end of the base, which was supposed to be the room where one end of the tidal generator set was located. And now, a big hole has been blown out here. Long Fei got out of the hole and saw that some parts of the generator were still hanging on the wall outside. Looking around, there was no sign of Dr. Black Dragon, and he was almost out of breath. When I looked up, I saw that the sea was only a few dozen meters away.

Long Fei swam desperately towards the sea, and soon his head was exposed. He gasped for air, which he held for a long time and felt a little dizzy.

After a short rest, his ears moved and he heard the sound of the ship's engine. Turning his head to look in the direction of the sound, a small transport ship was heading in the distance about a few hundred meters away from him. He didn't have to guess that he knew that it was Dr. Black Dragon inside.

"Damn it!" Long Fei angrily hit the surface of the water, venting his anger, but there was nothing he could do. After calming down for a while, he turned and swam back to the island.

From afar, he saw Dr. Wang directing the crowd and robots to move things from the base to the beach. Seeing him return, Dr. Wang hurriedly trotted over.

"Long Fei, you've finally come back safely. Everybody's worried about you. Feng Wu came over to ask me just now, where have you been? I was going to look for you, and I stopped you. Dr. Wang asked.

Long Fei shook his head and said, "Dr. Black Dragon escaped and drove away the transport ship. ”

"I know it all, I heard the sound of the boat just now. I also sent people to chase after them, only to find that the engines of the other ships were damaged. But there's also a discovery, you see what this is. After Dr. Wang finished speaking, he raised the ring in his hand.

Long Fei stretched out his hand to take it, turned it over and over, and didn't see any clues, so he handed it back to Dr. Wang and asked, "What is this?" ”

Dr. Wang stroked his hand a few times, and a holographic image appeared on the ring, showing 0:00:00 on it.

He looked at Dr. Wang with some confusion, and Dr. Wang explained, "This is Dr. Heilong's bracelet microcomputer, which I found when I was salvaging just now. The number above is the countdown of the timer, and it is the countdown of the base's self-destruct device. Although I know a lot about the equipment of the base, and after capturing Dr. Black Dragon, I was able to remove his control of the base. But unexpectedly, he still kept a hand. ”

Long Fei nodded, he understood how a cunning person like Dr. Black Dragon could not spare a hand. It is the so-called cunning rabbit three holes. He thought for a moment and asked, "How long does it take to repair the ship?" ”

Dr. Wang calculated, "It will take at least half a day." ”

Long Fei frowned, now there is no base, and there is no ship. So what's next?

He lowered his head and began to think: "Plan for the worst first, you must survive first." In addition to temperature, the necessary conditions for human survival are: air, water, and food. Without air, people can only live for about 3 minutes. Without water, a person can only live for about 3 days, and without food, a person can only live for about 3 weeks. Now air and food are not a problem, the most important thing is fresh water. So Long Fei asked, "Do we have enough fresh water?" ”

Dr. Wang continued to shake his head: "The desalination plant at the base is large, and it cannot operate without a power station. There are almost no fresh water reserves now. However, it can make simple desalination equipment, but it is more bitter to drink, and it is okay for a short time, but it is easy to get sick after a long time. ”

Long Fei nodded, then opened his glasses and began to search the surrounding area for fresh water sources. Soon, the map showed the location of the nearest freshwater source, on the western land, where there were freshwater rivers and lakes. Seeing this, he asked, "There is a continent to the west of us, where the nearest source of fresh water is located, can we go there?" ”

Dr. Wang sighed, "The land is dangerous right now, and most areas are full of nuclear radiation. Atlantis, where I used to live, was a floating city on the sea. When the children there asked why they didn't live on land, the adults would tell them a story. ”

Speaking of which, Dr. Wang immersed himself in memories of the past: "In the middle of the 21st century, there was a nuclear war, and most of the land was hit by nuclear strikes and filled with nuclear radiation, but the sea, which accounts for about 70% of the planet, had very little nuclear radiation. After the end of the war, many of the people in the shelters gathered resources to build floating cities on the sea. Gradually, floating cities appeared on the sea, from scratch, from small to large. Many cities are interconnected to form larger cities. At that time, there was a lot of hope for the future, and many of the survivors on land fled to Floating City, and everyone took them in. Until a tragedy happens. ”

Speaking of this, Dr. Wang's eyes were full of fear: "More than a dozen residents living in the same area have died one after another, and the cause of death is a large amount of nuclear radiation in their bodies. After a police investigation, it was finally found that they had one thing in common, that is, they had contact with a survivor who had just arrived. Doctors examined this person and found that he was carrying strong nuclear radiation, and he himself was more resistant to nuclear radiation than ordinary people, so he did not die immediately. This incident has been widely reported among the Floating City, and many similar incidents have been reported. During that time, all the residents of the Floating City were in a panic, and there were people demonstrating everywhere. The administrators of the Floating City eventually agreed not to accept refugees from land. Since then, there have been people who have fled, either driven or shot. Gradually, the people living in the Floating City began to call themselves new humans, referring to the survivors on land as old remnants, and cut off contact with each other. ”

After listening to this, Long Fei thought that the people of Floating City were doing too much, but it was also human nature, but it was just a little too unfair to the people living on land. He thought about it, but didn't have any good ideas, so he proposed, "The two of us can't discuss the result." Why don't you call everyone over and discuss it together? ”

Dr. Wang nodded in agreement, and Long Fei called everyone over and began to discuss the issue of going to stay. He told everyone about the conversation he had with Dr. Wang, and then waited for everyone to express their opinions.

"What's the harm to us if we want to stay?" Athena asked.

Long Fei replied: "If Fresh Water can solve it, it is not a big problem, the biggest problem is that if we continue to live here, we may be retaliated against by Dr. Black Dragon at any time." Cunning rabbit three holes, who knows if he has other bases. ”

Athena continued, "What's the harm of going to the western land?" ”

Long Fei replied: "The biggest problem on land is the environment, where there is different levels of nuclear radiation. ”

Dr. Wang added: "There are also old remnants who may also carry lethal amounts of nuclear radiation. ”

Ruyue asked curiously: "Is nuclear radiation really that scary?" Why are the old remnants all right? ”

Dr. Wang replied: "There are different levels of nuclear radiation, and it is not necessarily fatal that nuclear radiation. The old remnants have been living in a nuclear radiation environment for nearly 100 years, through natural selection and genetics. They all have a certain level of resistance in their bodies. It is the so-called natural selection, the survival of the fittest. If there is no resistance, it will be eliminated. ”

Ruyue continued to ask: "Then how strong is our body resistant to nuclear radiation?" ”

"This can be detected with Long Fei's glasses." Dr. Wang said.

Long Fei turned on the nuclear radiation resistance scanning function of the glasses. Then, everywhere Long Fei's eyes went, everyone, even the birds in the trees and the crabs in the sand, marked an extra paragraph: Nuclear radiation resistance level: how many levels. He asked curiously, "Dr. Wang, what do you mean by this level 1, level 2, and level 3?" ”

Dr. Wang explained, "When Dr. Heilong was studying genetically enhanced people, he developed a hierarchy of physiological functions. Calculated with big data, the average value is set at level 0. For example, if you take the visual acuity of all recorded adults, take the average, and get a result of 1.0, then the 0 level is 1.0. Under normal circumstances, level 3 is almost the limit of ordinary people. ”

Long Fei nodded and said, "I understand, it's just to replace complex data with simple levels." Dr. Wang, why is your nuclear radiation resistance level 0? ”

Dr. Wang nodded, "Level 0 is the average, and ordinary people are around level 0. ”

Long Fei asked the glasses to show a map of the area, and then made the hologram visible so that everyone could see it. He then explained: "This is the radiation distribution map of the western land, many areas have a radiation intensity of level 0, and a third of the entire continent is below level 1, does this mean that if the nuclear radiation resistance is level 1 or above, you can live normally in these areas." ”

Dr. Wang nodded, "Yes, although this record is ten years ago, it will only be better now, not worse." ”

Long Fei saw that Dr. Wang was a little moved, and asked, "Dr. Wang, your nuclear radiation resistance is level 0, what can I do?" ”

Dr. Wang smiled: "There is no problem with this, there are a lot of nuclear radiation protective suits in the base. When the time comes, I'll put it on, and I'll be fine when I reach the area of level 0 radiation. ”

Athena concluded: "I think it's better to go to the land to the west. ”

Long Fei waited for everyone to continue to ask questions, silently scanning everyone with his eyes. When he saw Feng Wu, he found that she was looking at herself with a puzzled look on her face, so he nodded at her. Feng Wu nodded in response, and then asked, "All we rescued from the base were weapons, ammunition, electronic equipment, and some small machines, and there were almost no living materials. If you go to land, how should you live? ”

Long Fei thought for a moment and said in a gentle tone: "If there is not enough food on land, we will choose a place that is close to the freshwater source and the seaside. I heard that a hundred years ago, there was a glorious human civilization on land, and now the biggest radiation problem has been solved, and I believe that we can live there very well. His tone was full of confidence, and then he continued, "What questions do you still have?" ”

Seeing that everyone was no longer asking questions, he said: "Now start voting, if you agree to stay, please raise your hand!" After watching for a long time, no one raised his hand, and he said loudly: "If you agree to go to the western land, please raise your hand!" "Whew!" Everyone raised their hands, and even Dr. Wang raised his hands without even thinking about it.

"I now declare that I support the proposal to go to the western land, and it is unanimously approved!" Long Fei announced loudly. He also knew in his heart that everyone had decided to leave, mainly to avoid Dr. Black Dragon's revenge. Of course, leaving this place full of painful memories is not only everyone's wish, but also his wish.

As soon as Long Fei's words fell, everyone immediately cheered.

Ruyue shouted at Long Fei: "Brother Long, you are too powerful, this idea is amazing!" ”

Da Niu also shouted: "Long Fei, you are too powerful!" As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard him mention Long Fei's name, and they also shouted together: "Long Fei! Long Fei! Long Fei! Then he was grabbed by the big bull with both hands, lifted up, and then thrown high into the air, then caught it with both hands, and continued to throw it into the air. The others, limited by height, couldn't catch Long Fei with their hands raised, so they could only raise their hands to protect them to prevent Da Niu from accidentally dropping Long Fei down.
