Chapter 342: Doomsday Scene
As soon as Qin Di returned to the magic capital, he called the two real estate managers, You Long and Zhang Bin, over.
These two managers stayed in the Japanese-occupied area and managed to survive eight years, which was not easy.
You Long said: "Mr. Qin, there have been some subtle changes in the real estate market in the magic capital recently, and the price is quietly rising!"
Zhang Bin also said: "Yes, the layman may not be aware of it, but we can feel that it seems that someone is absorbing real estate, and the situation may be about to change." ”
Qin Di closed the door and said something to the two managers.
After listening to this, the two of them felt very shocked in their hearts.
In the end, they thought about it for a long time and embarked on different paths.
Zhang Bin took a reward of 500 taels of gold, continued to stay in the magic capital, and helped the Qin family empty the property within three years.
You Long only took 200 taels of gold and was ready to move his family to Hong Kong to take over the management of the property there.
The reason why he was willing to go to the south was because he had a background in the Green Gang and had a close relationship with Boss Du, so as soon as he heard Qin Di say that Boss Du would also go over, he immediately agreed.
And Zhang Bin has an innocent background, although he has been the "dogleg" of the Qin family, after all, he is a hired person, so he doesn't want to leave his hometown.
On 8 May, Germany surrendered unconditionally.
On June 7, the Chinese army won a great victory in Xiangxi, annihilating 24,000 Japanese invaders. On the 8th, the Japanese army began to shrink its forces and left Fuding into Zhejiang, and on the 17th, the Japanese army withdrew from Wenzhou. At the same time, Liuzhou was abandoned and retreated to Guilin.
On June 22, U.S. forces captured the island of Okinawa. On July 5, the Philippines was liberated.
On 1 July, Germany was partitioned by the occupying powers.
The Allies interrogated many Natsu leaders and then searched for treasure, but the results were tragic and yielded very little.
These people are puzzled: "The Germans are so stubborn! Why haven't they explained where they hid their treasures?"
In the end, even the Germans wanted to cry without tears, they suffered a dumb loss, but they could not speak, they could only grit their teeth and say: "We have no treasure at all, what do you want us to confess!"
But how could the Americans, Soviets, and British believe it?
Since you don't explain, then the leather whip and the tiger chair are connected!
But no matter how they interrogated them, they still couldn't find a large number of treasures, and where were the treasures of the German ** buried? This became the biggest mystery of the 20th century!
In late July, just when the Japanese invaders were about to surrender, housing prices and rents in the magic capital skyrocketed, almost one price a day, and it was difficult for low- and middle-income families to find a suitable place to live.
The devil is not better than other places, the locals are the most relocated, often saying "go out a mile, it is better to be at home", if you can, you can't go. During the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, on the eve of the fall of other major cities in China, almost more than one-third of the residents fled, but the "natives" of the magic capital did not run much.
The number of people has not decreased, but the number of houses has decreased. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese bombed Zhabei and damaged a number of houses; Later, the national army in turn bombed Hongkou under the occupation of the Japanese invaders, and damaged a number of houses; In the later stage of the Anti-Japanese War, the U.S. military also frequently sent planes to bomb the magic capital, and tens of thousands of houses collapsed on Tangshan Road alone.
During the fall of the Demon Capital, a large number of Japanese expatriates moved in and had no place to live, so the puppet government carried out forced demolitions, drove away the Chinese residents, and made room for the Japanese to build houses. In July 1945, the US military bombed various bases of the Japanese invaders in the magic capital, and the cunning Japanese invaders scattered and entrenched in residential areas, once again forced the Chinese to move out, and "requisitioned" their houses without compensation, so the housing shortage was very serious at this time.
Secondly, the currency depreciated and the speculation intensified. On the eve of the liberation, the Japanese army and the puppet government knew that the end had come, so they hurriedly killed chickens and eggs, and desperately printed money. Originally, the maximum face value of the "Central Reserve Bills" was 100 yuan, but soon the 1,000-yuan banknotes and 10,000-yuan banknotes were popular, and the price of goods rose tens of thousands of times compared with before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937. The citizens of the magic capital want to go to the bank to exchange banknotes for gold bars, but the puppet government does not allow it, and in order to preserve the value of assets, everyone can only find ways to buy physical objects and store them.
For this reason, the Japanese invaders implemented an extremely strict policy of control, and the purchase of almost all materials such as grain, cotton, cloth, steel, cooking oil, hardware, cigarettes, matches, soap, and towels was restricted, and only real estate could be bought and sold freely. In this case, the rich can only buy houses desperately, and ordinary people cannot afford to buy them, so they raise funds to speculate in real estate, "public bonds", and real estate stocks, so that housing prices rise almost faster than the currency depreciation.
And the most outrageous thing is that on the eve of the liberation, more than 20,000 real estate companies suddenly appeared in the magic capital, these companies have hardly built any new houses, and they use real estate as a bargaining chip for speculation. As long as it is a house, whether it is occupied or not, it will be sold quickly. The price of real estate in the city is rising higher and higher, and it is difficult to buy, so many real estate companies go to the suburbs to speculate on land. Any piece of land, whether it is a suburb, a far suburb, or farmland, or a low-lying pond, will be sold out once it is sold out of the market.
At this time, Qin Di instructed Zhang Bin to sell the real estate slowly, and only accept pounds and US dollars, not even gold! Because he had too much gold in his hand, it was very troublesome to launder money.
On July 16, the United States tested its first atomic bomb.
On July 21, President Truman gave the order to use the atomic bomb.
On August 4, Qin Di and Yan Xue arrived in Japan.
Yan Xue stayed in Chiba County, staring at the third uncle's family and not letting them go out.
The next day, Qin Di came to Hiroshima alone.
What do you say he wants to do? Turn the tide and prevent the atomic bomb from exploding? That is impossible! He doesn't do that kind of stupid thing! The Japanese deserve retribution! He came here to test the power of the atomic bomb explosion and see how this kind of energy release is different from the self-detonation of the immortals.
According to his experience, if it is an immortal who explodes himself, it will bring a large amount of aura, and if he can absorb aura, his skill will skyrocket.
He had also experienced it before, the ultraviolet lamp contained purple gas, so is there any special spiritual energy in the atomic bomb?
He didn't know the answer, so he came over to take a look.
On August 6, at 8:09 a.m., Qin Di saw the plane flying over, and three groups of observation equipment with parachutes were dropped.
At 8:15:17, the timing device came into play, and the atomic bomb was dropped automatically. After a 43-second flat toss, it exploded 550 meters above Hospital Island Hospital, southeast of Aisheng Bridge
The atomic bomb, called "Little Boy", carried 50 kilograms of uranium-235. Equivalent to 15,000 tonnes of TNT equivalent. The energy bursts out through shock waves, hot wires, radiation, etc., accounting for 50%, 35%, and 15% respectively.
At the moment of the explosion, the pressure in the central area reached hundreds of thousands of atmospheres, triggering extremely strong shock waves and air waves.
The wind speed at the center of the explosion was about 440 m/s, which is 10 times that of a Category 12 typhoon, and the supersonic wind and shock wave spread outward, destroying ordinary buildings.
The wind pressure of the blast center reached 3.5 million pascals, which is equivalent to pressurizing a weight of 350 tons at 1 square meter, and even within a radius of 1,000 meters, the wind pressure reached 1 million pascals. All wooden houses within this area were destroyed except for reinforced concrete buildings, and the wind pressure within 2,000 meters was 300,000 pascals.
In addition, the total energy of infrared is about 22 megajoules, and the ground receives 1,000 times more energy than the sun.
The temperature at the center of the explosion reached a high of 3,000°C to 4,000°C. The tiles of the houses near the blast center were "blistered", and the wooden houses spontaneously combusted when they reached the point of ignition, and many buildings, including Hiroshima Castle, were spared.
The explosion emitted large quantities of α-rays, β-rays, γ-rays, and neutrons, with 1.2 trillion high-speed neutrons and 9,000 slow neutrons (thermal neutrons) per 1 square centimeter on the surface.
The atomic bomb explosion produced a huge mushroom cloud containing a large amount of radioactive ash. They mix with the water vapor in the clouds, forming a black rain that falls on the Hiroshima area. The rain was highly radioactive, so it polluted the river, and most of the refugees who were so thirsty from the effects of the bombing died within days of drinking it.
Qin Di was about 2.2 kilometers from the center of the atomic bomb, and the violent impact did not damage him. He was amazed to find that the scattered infrared, α rays, β rays, γ rays, and neutrons carried a large amount of spiritual energy, which was very beneficial to his cultivation!
So instead of retreating, he quickly moved forward, swept through the blast zone with a ghostly figure, absorbed a belly of psionic energy, and then left Hiroshima!
