Chapter 937: Sixteen Hours of Darkness 5

"What's wrong?"

In the dark, Zhang Xiaoyu got up and turned on the bedside lamp.

Li Mai narrowed his eyes slightly, adjusted to the light, and then slowly sat up.

"The eyelids are jumping very hard and it doesn't feel very good. Li Mai rubbed his right eye and said.

"You think too much, the typhoon has passed, what else can happen. Zhang Xiaoyu patted him lightly on the back, like coaxing a child, "The statistics of losses will only be carried out at dawn tomorrow, and it is useless for you to think more now." ”

At this time, it was past ten o'clock in the evening, and the couple went to bed early. Li Mai tossed and turned several times just now, which made Zhang Xiaoyu feel strange, so he got up and asked.

Shaking his head, Li Mai frowned and said, "It doesn't feel like a loss. The work ahead is very solid, and the losses will not be too big. There is no problem with backup power and satellite communication network support for US economic operations. In a few days, the city government will prioritize the water and electricity communications at the headquarters, and its own backup system can last until that time......"

He analyzed it himself, and the conversation changed, "However, I always feel very strange in my heart, but I can't say it, it is very similar to the feeling before the typhoon." ”

Zhang Xiaoyu obviously wouldn't despise Li Mai's premonition, Li Mai was simply divine, and his premonition was so accurate. But she thought about it and said, "But there's nothing very bad about it right now." Before going to bed, I talked to Hao Hao on the phone, and the children had a lot of fun with their parents. ”

"It's not that the child is in any danger......" Li Mai shook his head a little distressed, "I don't have a clue anymore." Daughter-in-law, I'll go out to smoke a cigarette and blow the wind, you go to sleep first. ”

Zhang Xiaoyu got out of bed, put on a long coat, and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

The two of them came to the balcony of the bedroom, and stood, looking at the city as far as the eye could see, and it was dark. Except for the lights in key units such as hospitals and police stations, it was all dark. Less than seven hours had passed, and if it hadn't been for the city's preparations, I am afraid that even the hospital would have lost its power supply.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm afraid the loss is beyond many people's imagination. Li Mai sighed and said.

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, "Yes, as far as I know, the power supply system in Nangang City is one of the best in the country, the lines are very standardized, and there are multiple sets of backup routes." The wind has stopped for almost seven hours, and it is still like this, I am afraid that there is a problem with the power plant and substation. ”

"I received a notification that the three main power plants were paralyzed, and only two small power plants resumed their work, and those two small power plants were strategic power plants, supplying the troops. Li Mai said slowly.

"Well, I'm afraid it will take at least three days to get back to normal. Zhang Xiaoyu said.

Li Mai nodded in agreement.

However, they all underestimated the power of iridescent, in fact, the entire Nangang urban area will not resume normal production and life until a week later! The people in the Nangang urban area will embody the primitive life without electricity and water for a whole week! Unlike before, the vast number of rural areas are the first to return to normal, because all rural areas have their own water sources, and the problem of electricity only needs a few high-power diesel generators to solve the daily electricity consumption of the entire village!

Li Mai didn't realize at all that from the moment it got dark, he had already stepped into the darkest sixteen hours of his life, and now, four hours had passed since the sixteen hours, he still didn't know what situation he was in!

Not only the economic war against the United States, but also the large-scale clean-up operation against his father!

I have to admit that Li Mai's premonition was very accurate, but he had a premonition that it was wrong, but he couldn't predict what was happening.

Because this time, not only the other party, but even the people on his own side were explained by his father, and they were silent, silent, and everyone was silent.

"The weather is getting more and more abnormal every year, and there are typhoons in the winter. I think it will become more and more impermanent. Li Mai said,

Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Do you feel that this year's winter is a little colder than last year's?" ”

"Yes, when I was a child, I often wondered why it didn't snow in Nangang, and now it seems that it won't be impossible in the future...... It's snowing in the tropics......," Li Mai said with a wry smile.

"The climate is changing all over the world. Fortunately, leaders are aware of the problem and have taken steps accordingly. Zhang Xiaoyu said.

Li Mai suddenly remembered something and said, "A few days ago, I heard Uncle Qi Junting say that he plans to gradually move the petrochemical base on the South China Sea Island to Southeast Asia in ten years. The city government also planned early, and Steel City will eventually move its production base to Southeast Asia. Key technical units are retained on the South China Sea Island. It also appears that climate issues are being taken into account. ”

"In any case, the price of industrialization is climate upheaval. The development of human beings is accompanied by the contribution of nature, which is inevitable. Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaoyu said, "I hope that the business done by the Gun Group Construction Group will help restore some of the original appearance of nature." ”

"What do you say about this? "It's unrealistic to blindly demand that nature be restored to its original state. Thousands of years ago, the earth was not what it is now. As long as the environment is adapted to human habitation and can continue to continue, it is actually enough. ”

"That's pretty much it. Zhang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Okay, do you feel better, go to sleep, you have to get up early to go to the company tomorrow." I'm going to get to the Foundation early to arrange the relief work. ”

"Well, sleep, when the sky falls, I can stand it. Li Mai relieved himself and felt a little better in his heart.

The two returned to the bedroom and continued to sleep.

Tonight, too many people can't sleep.

It was already eleven o'clock, and there were groups of people in the streets, parks, squares, and everywhere there was open space. People are walking aimlessly, in pairs or groups. Without the supply of electricity, the rhythm of life was suddenly disrupted. The sudden prolonged darkness left people at a loss, and running outside, walking towards a crowded place, was the knee-jerk reaction of human beings who were unaware.

It was dark and confused ahead.

If you want to sleep, you can't, it turns out that losing the light is such a frustrating, uncomfortable, and frightening thing.

Food distribution points set up by the city government are constantly working, and anyone can receive a large loaf of bread or a bottle of mineral water without any documentation, as long as you have a way to prove that you are human. However, there are not many people who come to collect it, because even if they have not prepared it before, there is still some food at home, and people have not yet reached the point where they need to receive food.

Undoubtedly, most people could not have imagined that in three days, they would frantically sweep away all the mineral water springs and instant noodles in all the commissaries of the stores, and then they would remember the food distribution points set up by the city government in advance.

In any case, a more favorable and comfortable living environment has made human instincts degrade even more.
