Chapter 638: Winter is coming
Three days went by in a flash.
On September 12, with the mediation of the efforts of a major power, the Europa coalition forces and the allied forces led by Justreel finally reached a cease-fire consensus.
The parties decided to cease fighting for a month.
On the one hand, both warring sides suffered heavy losses, and in the short term they could no longer fight, so they had to make a temporary truce.
On the other hand, both sides can use this precious time to carry out emergency rescue and prepare for the next "winter".
In fact, for a nuclear war, because both sides have made sufficient preparations in advance, the casualties are not large, and the real losses are mainly a serious blow to the economy.
After this round of bombing, the two sides lost at least more than 50% of their industrial output, but fortunately, the Europa coalition forces were still restrained and did not attack the oil fields.
Otherwise, whoever wins the war will not survive this cold winter.
After all, volcanic ash and nuclear radiation, either of them can kill you, not to mention that the two come together, which is simply a deadly threat.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the air raid siren over Sydney was finally lifted, marking the official end of "underground" life, and both adults and children could not wait to move out of the bomb shelter.
Back at the manor, looking at the happy boss and others, Xu Dong couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water:
"Don't be too happy, the possibility of us being bombed is very small, and now where are we, the real difficulties have just begun!"
"What's the difficulty?"
Xu Bin asked with a frown.
"There are two main difficulties, one is that the volcanic ash is coming soon, you look at the sky outside, is it much darker than usual? Remember to bask in the sun later, maybe you won't be able to get it later. ”
"Uncle, you mean Polar Night?"
Xu Jingyi said worriedly.
"That's right, it's the polar night." Xu Dong nodded, "Ten years ago, the Simberia fire, the capital area lived without the sun for more than three months.
Last year, when I went on a business trip to Nisang, I encountered the polar night phenomenon again, when the whole sky was pitch black, there was no sunlight in sight, and there would be black snow next. ”
"Third child, how long will this situation last?"
Dad Xu interjected and asked.
The whole family had experience with their youngest son.
"It's hard to say, compared with the Shishan Volcano and the Sulfonite Volcano, the two are not at the same level at all, and no one knows what the situation is over there now.
However, according to my estimate, this polar night situation may not end in a short period of time, as short as a year or two, as long as five or six years, or even decades. ”
"Decades? Isn't that man all dead? ”
Yang Lina said scaredly.
"Probably not, thanks to the blessing of the great drought, our current grain production has long been industrialized, as long as the energy supply is sufficient, even if there is no sun, we can still produce food."
Xu Jingyi hurriedly echoed: "Uncle, do you say that this is a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse?" ”
"You're right, the past ten years have been equivalent to giving us a buffer period, and if the sulfonite volcano erupts ten years ahead of schedule, the loss will definitely be more than ten times more painful than now."
Xu Dong was embarrassed.
In some ways, the super-flare more than a decade ago was also a positive for all of humanity.
"Is there a second difficulty?"
Xu Bin then asked.
"The second difficulty is nuclear radiation, when the volcanic ash is completely covered, then the temperature will plummet, and there is a high probability of snowfall, and these snowflakes must be rich in radiation fallout."
"Radiation energy is coming to us?"
Xu Bin expressed doubts, after all, the two places are tens of thousands of kilometers apart, and Nisang has also suffered atomic bombs in history, and he has not heard of any adverse effects on China.
"This time it's hundreds of nuclear bombs, not one or two, plus it just happened to hit the spread of volcanic ash, so it must not be underestimated."
Xu Dong reminded.
"So what are we going to do?"
Xu Bin suddenly panicked, their three grandchildren are still children, in case they are affected, it will be a lifetime thing.
"Boss, if you come here this time, don't go back for the time being, I have a flower room and a basement here, if the radiation exceeds the standard, you can go in and hide."
Xu Dong suggested.
Tan Aifang immediately followed and persuaded: "Dabin, the third child is right, let's live here for the time being, forget it usually, now is not the time to die." ”
"What do you say? Am I the kind of person who can't tell the difference between good and bad? Xu Bin didn't have a good air.
"Okay, you can just agree to stay, I'll go to help my mother cook, I don't have time to raise the bar with you."
After Tan Aifang finished speaking, she stuffed the little tiger to her husband.
……
Half an hour later, Yang Lina took the initiative to find her husband, she had just made a call to Han Cheng's mother, and the two sides had not been in touch for many days.
"Husband, I have something to do with you."
"What's the matter?"
"I just called my mom."
Xu Dong was concerned: "How is Hancheng doing?" Nothing happened, right? ”
"It's okay, they just got home."
"It's okay, it's going to be winter soon, and my mother-in-law is not young, do you want to take her old man over to live?"
Xu Dong casually proposed.
No matter what, he has to save face for his wife.
Yang Lina shook her head: "I mentioned it, but it didn't work, my mother didn't want to leave Hancheng at all." Besides, now that the planes are all parked, the boat ride is too long, my mother may not be able to stand it, so don't toss. ”
"Ahh I should have ...... in advance."
Xu Dong let out a fake sigh.
"Don't blame yourself, it's one thing after another, and it's too late to think about it. Okay, let's not talk about that, I have something I'd like to hear from you. ”
"What do you want to ask?"
"Our family's big villa in Hancheng is empty and empty, I want my brother and them to move in, what do you think?"
Yang Lina got straight to the point.
If it was usual, Xu Dong would definitely not agree, but at this time and that time, seeing that the catastrophe was coming, it would be too unkind for him to object.
"No problem, there is a basement in the big villa, and a glass house, it would be better for the mother-in-law and them to live in, and it would save you from worrying all the time."
"Husband, do you agree?"
Yang Lina was overjoyed.
Xu Dongyang pretended to be angry and said, "What are you calling this, am I the kind of person with a small belly and chicken intestines?" ”
"Okay, I said the wrong thing, you Lord Xu Dong have a lot."
"Well, my mother-in-law has the key to the villa, you let them pack up and move in quickly, the volcanic ash is estimated to arrive in Hancheng tomorrow."
"I'll call my mom later."
"In addition, in the basement of the villa, I have stocked up on a lot of supplies, if you encounter difficulties, you go back and tell your brother-in-law, let him take care of himself, no need to say hello to me."
As the so-called sending Buddha to the west, Xu Dong simply gave it a generous time, anyway, those materials, their family can't use them, and it's a waste to keep them.
"Didn't you sell a batch of canned food before? My brother shouldn't be able to use them for the time being. ”
"Don't be reluctant, let my brother-in-law try to exchange more canned food for more coal, collective heating is not insured, and everything must be prepared with both hands."
"I see."
"By the way, there is still water, and we should stock up on it more."
Xu Dong finally added.
Yang Lina nodded solemnly, and then wondered: "I see that you are right, why didn't our family stock up on coal and water?" ”
"Does that need to be said? Sydney is close to the sea and there are large coal fields nearby, so it is impossible for us to have such an extreme situation here. ”
Xu Dong said confidently.
This is called "time" is not as good as "location".
