Chapter 933: Sixteen Hours of Darkness 1
After more than an hour of shaking the high-rise building as if it had been in an earthquake, the iridescent finally stopped.
Of course, when people hesitate to open the door and hesitantly go out to see what has become of the outside, more people know that this is just the beginning. Because the calm at this moment does not mean that the rainbow is gone, but has come to its center - the eye of the typhoon.
There is no wind in the eye of the typhoon, and there are no clouds, and the sun's rays can shine down unscrupulously, presenting people with a cloudless sky, which is very peculiar. Especially in a city with blue skies and white clouds like Nangang, cloudless skies are rarely seen.
Taking advantage of the arrival of the eye of the typhoon, people walked out and saw broken glass everywhere, and thick branches and leaves of fallen trees everywhere. And the billboards on the side of the road, and all the things that attract the wind, are not at all what they used to be. Either collapsed or crumbling.
Fortunately, the water and electricity supply was not interrupted, and people were glad and thought that it was the case.
It's just that a small number of people who know the common sense of meteorology are feeling more and more heavy, because after the eye of the typhoon, there will be more arrogant wind than before!
About forty minutes later, the wind began to appear again.
The eye of the typhoon that lasted for more than 40 minutes and nearly an hour shows that the diameter of the iridescent eye of the typhoon is at least 20 kilometers or more! This is a super strong and super-large typhoon!
The sudden increase in the strength of the wind, which brought a chilling whistling sound, caused the outdoor people to hurry back home, and continue to wait passively and proudly.
After only fifteen minutes, if someone looked at Nangang City from the perspective of God, then he would definitely be surprised to see that the power supply in Nangang City was interrupted one after another, and those lights that were extinguished at one time were very obvious, one by one!
Nangang City has a total of four districts and one island, more than 80% of the commercial pillars of the whole area are concentrated in the four districts, more than half of the important industrial bases in the whole area are around the four districts, and Datang Petrochemical and Iron and Steel City, which have the largest economic capacity, are on the South China Sea Island.
In just fifteen minutes, all the power in the above areas was cut off.
Because just now, the three power plants that supplied all the industrial, commercial, and domestic electricity to the four districts and one island were paralyzed almost simultaneously in the sudden and violent wind!
Li Mai is more willing to look at the attack of iridescent from a military perspective.
The primary purpose of a standard air raid is to destroy the power plant, train station, roads, and other indispensable infrastructure in the target area.
After all the roads were cut off by downed trees and tall billboards, all the power plants stopped working, and it was impossible for the train stations to continue operating, let alone the airports.
In one sentence, in just fifteen minutes, the people of Nangang have basically returned to their original state, and they don't know it at this moment!
The impact of a power system collapse is far greater than people think, starting with the disruption of water supply and, more seriously, the loss of communications.
Soon, the city government's anti-Taiwan emergency command center found that their communication network was paralyzed; soon, people found that their mobile phones could not make calls; and soon, people who took pictures of trees falling backwards and raging winds found that they could not send messages on Moments......
Soon, more people realized that if they didn't use it sparingly, they would soon shut down their phones because they ran out of power.
Immediately, they will quickly realize that water is so important - some unprepared people find that they do not have water at home to rinse the pit that has just been pulled off the stool. Not to mention the water used to cook and stir-fry!
For a while before the wireless network was paralyzed, various platforms such as Moments, QQ groups, forums and so on were filled with an optimistic atmosphere, and even though many people were surprised by the intensity of the typhoon, in general, not many people realized what kind of life they would fall into after the typhoon.
Of course, in typhoon weather, the only thing you can do is sleep except playing mahjong. Li Mai naturally chose to sleep with Zhang Xiaoyu in his arms, and naturally he was inevitably tossed and turned. No matter how raging the typhoon is, it is not the same thing as having sex and making people.
Besides, there was a storm outside, and the house was full of clouds and rain, and the atmosphere was better than usual.
Unlike this couple, in another place, Li Zewen and Wei Jing's home, the atmosphere is very depressing and dull, although the wind whistling outside is very obvious.
Of course, Li Zewen and Wei Jing's big villa in the suburbs also has its own backup power supply, and unless it is really hit by a bomb, it is no problem to be self-sufficient for a month.
In the bright living room, Li Zewen sat on the long sofa smoking a cigarette, while Wei Jing sat on the single sofa on one side, her expression was also very serious, and there were traces of trouble.
"Alas......"
I don't know how long it took, Wei Jing let out a long sigh, and her helplessness was beyond words.
"Li Zewen, do you have to do this?" Wei Jing asked.
Li Zewen nodded slowly and said, "He has been kind to our family and has great favors. At that time, my father and I made a solemn promise that we would repay him one day. I have no choice, this favor must be returned. ”
"Do you know what Li Mai is doing now, what the entire Gun Regiment Construction Group is doing. Wei Jing asked.
Nodding slowly, Li Zewen said, "The economic war against the United States and the economic defeat of the United States will at least deal a serious blow to the American economy." ”
"Then you must know what the consequences will be if you do this. Wei Jing's tone was cold and angry.
"The whole operation will have to be stopped, Li Mai ...... Heavy losses. Li Zewen said.
"Then do you still want to go your own way?" Wei Jing asked in a loud voice.
Li Zewen extinguished the cigarette butt, looked at Wei Jing, and said, "Wei Jing, these are two different things. From my personal point of view, I very much hope that Li Mai can succeed, and even if he needs help, whether it is funds or resources, I will definitely help him. However, if we don't pay back the favors that our family owes, not only me, but the whole family will not be able to survive because of it. Do you think, why is a person alive? It is better to live like a walking corpse, to live without commitment, than to die. ”
Wei Jing's mouth opened as if she was about to scold, but in the end she sighed helplessly. As she knew Li Zewen, this was him. In other words, this is the basis of his life.
"When it weren't for him, our family would have gone to the grave long ago. A life-saving grace for the whole family. Or rather, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have more than the average person today. ”
Shaking his head unconsciously, Li Zewen said, "I'm very distressed, but I know I have to do it." Last night, Li Mai and I had a conversation on the rooftop of your company, and I hope he can understand my warning and prepare early. ”
Wei Jing wanted to question Li Zewen, could it be that personal grievances are so important that the interests of the country can be put first? But when she thought of Li Zewen's benefactor, the benefactor who was high above her, she was quickly invaded by a sense of powerlessness.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Li Zewen refuses to stand on the opposite side of Li Mai, in front of a figure like Beichang, what energy does he have to refuse?
In the final analysis, Li Zewen and himself are all puppets who can't get rid of clues.
"However, we also have to think of a way, based on the premise that you have to stand on the opposite side of Li Mai, and find a way to avoid greater losses, if Li Mai will definitely suffer heavy losses. Wei Jing finally calmed down and said in a deep voice.
If an argument solves the problem, then they will have a big fight, obviously, no.
Li Zewen stood up and said, "I'll go get something for you to see." ”
With that, he walked into the bedroom.
