Doomsday Bunker Upgrade Chapter 267: The cruel reality
Chen Xin did not stay in Sanzhen for a long time. He helped the researchers upgrade their equipment twice, and then got a set of finished products to install on his car, and upgraded the radar on the car into a signal base station. Chen Xin left Sanzhen.
However, because of the negotiation of cooperation with the country, there is also a staff member sent by a scientific research institution in his car.
The main task of this staff member is to be in charge of communication and contact with Chen Xin, because in this situation, before the communication network is re-established, it is very troublesome to contact Chen Xin from the three towns. Therefore, they must send someone to follow Chen Xin, know where he is, and then establish a stable communication channel through the local official agency.
In addition, after establishing cooperation with Chen Xin, the state also needs to send the equipment and materials that need to be upgraded to Chen Xin through local official agencies, which also requires a thorough investigation of the local transportation, communication, scientific research and industrial production capacity.
If the foundation of the city where Chen Xin is located is too poor, it may be necessary to persuade Chen Xin to move or strengthen the local infrastructure. These are all issues that need to be considered.
Therefore, in order to better cooperate with Chen Xin, the scientific research institution simply sent staff to follow Chen Xin to do a field trip to find out the specific situation.
Chen Xin didn't feel anything about the extra person in the car. After letting the other party get in the car, Chen Xin ignored him. After all his attention at this time was reconnected to the Internet, he obtained information from the Internet. attracted by the information.
Because the radar on the car has been upgraded to a signal base station, Chen Xin has been able to access the network currently used by scientific research institutions, although this network currently only covers three towns, and can be physically connected to scientific research institutions in the three towns. However, Chen Xin still obtained a lot of information from it through the permissions granted to him by the scientific research institution.
"National population containment statistics..." Chen Xin browsed the information on this internal network through the operation console, and found a title that made him very concerned.
Chen Xin clearly remembered that the country's population before the disaster had reached 1.4 billion, but three months before the meteorite fell, the national evacuation plan estimated that the population could be 1.2 billion.
According to the information he read on this webpage, before the meteorite impact, only 80% of the population was contained in the whole country.
This is a pretty brutal statistic.
1.4 billion people, less than 960 million people successfully entered the shelter before the disaster.
Nearly one-third of the population did not enter shelters.
Perhaps these people were able to escape the first meteor impact, but the ensuing series of disasters, such as heavy rain, a drop in atmospheric oxygen levels, and extreme cold, were enough to kill any survivors who did not enter the shelter. .
The chance of them surviving is very slim. Even if someone is still alive, it can only be regarded as lingering in the end times.
And what makes people feel very sad is that behind this statistics, there is also a statistics on the mortality rate of the shelter population.
Because this is an internal network, the data above are also official internal statistics, there is no false part, but this is more uncomfortable.
According to the results of the above statistics, in the first month of the meteorite impact, the death rate of the population inside the shelter was fairly normal, about 3‰, which was much lower than the normal death rate of 7‰. Most of the people who entered the shelter were young adults who were in good health and did not die so easily.
However, over time, the mortality rate has increased significantly. Three months after the meteorite impact, that is, after the temperature dropped to below zero, the mortality rate increased significantly, from 3 ‰ rose to 8‰.
This is not an unacceptable data. Generally speaking, in the harsh environment of low temperature and severe cold, only this mortality rate is a relatively normal value.
But if you consider that the birth rate of newborns is less than 1‰, and the negative population growth exceeds 7‰, this is terrible.
And it's important to note that this is a national demographic, calculated as an overall average.
However, in fact, the death rate among provinces and regions is extremely uneven!
In large cities such as Sanzhen, because of good basic conditions and sufficient material reserves, the actual population mortality rate has been maintained at about 1~3‰, but before the disaster, they belonged to poverty-stricken areas and counties with poor basic conditions In the city, the death rate of the population exceeds 1%.
In fact, it is not uncommon for hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to other areas like an entire county town that Chen Xin encountered, and such a large-scale population migration will obviously have an impact on the statistical results of the data. .
Added to the error caused by the current communication difficulties, the actual situation will only be worse.
In addition, Chen Xin also learned from the webpage that the impact of the tsunami caused by the meteorite impact and the impact of the subsequent global fires caused all coastal areas in the country to disappear below sea level.
The most severely affected area is the coast of the Bohai Bay. The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region where the capital was originally located has been completely submerged by sea water.
Because of the terrain, the North China Plain no longer exists, the Northeast Plain was also hit by the tsunami, and the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain became a swamp country.
The four great plains of Yan Country are now going to the third, leaving only the Guanzhong Plain that has not been swallowed by the sea.
According to the valuable observation data brought back by Zhang Chengguang and others, the coastline has been advanced from the original Shanghai market to the territory of Anhui Province, and the entire Jiangsu Province has become an underwater world under the ice.
The famous Lu Province peninsula can now be removed from the half-character. It is a veritable island, and other parts of Lu Province are not much better. They have also been divided from the land and become an isolated island. Go west to Changshan to see the land.
Even in Anhui Province, where Chen Xin's hometown was, most of the northern Huaibei region has disappeared below sea level.
However, the impact in the south is not so serious because of the mountains. Most parts of Guangdong and Fujian have not been submerged by the sea because of the mountains. Even Zhejiang, which is adjacent to Jiangsu Province, has also been preserved. most of the land.
However, most of the economically developed cities in these areas are close to the sea, especially the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Because of their proximity to the sea, they are among the first areas to be destroyed by the tsunami.
It can be said that the most important food-producing areas and economically developed areas of the Yan Kingdom disappeared in the impact of the tsunami caused by the meteorite impact.
As for the subsequent melting of glaciers and rising sea levels caused by global fires, it is just that the land that has not had time to ebb after the tsunami is completely frozen under the ice.
If you have a basic understanding of the geography of the Yan Kingdom, you can clearly judge that the third step of the three major ladders of the Yan Kingdom is only the Liaodong hills, the Daxing'an Mountains, the Taihang Mountains, the Shandong hills and the southeast hills. A few areas, others have ceased to exist.
As for the first and second steps, which are less affected by the disaster, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau are examples of vast land and sparsely populated areas, not to mention the Tarim Basin, which is a desolate Gobi and desert that can barely be called Only the Loess Plateau, the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are the best areas.
The former first-tier cities, Beishangguang, were all killed in battle, and only three towns and Yucheng are left in the cities of the Yan Kingdom that can be called super cities.
If the country had not evacuated the population of the coastal areas inland before the disaster, I am afraid that the loss of the country's population would not be one-third, but one-half.
Chen Xin now also understands why a town under a small county like his hometown can move tens of thousands of people, because the coastline has extended to the territory of Anhui Province! A little further east from Anqing is the sea!
Looking at these data and satellite pictures, Chen Xin's mood has become heavy.
After the disaster, although the days were far worse than before the disaster, Chen Xin's life was not too bad because of his systematic relationship, and the situation in the city where he was located was not too bad to bear. Give Chen Xin an illusion that the situation is not too bad.
Especially after he went to E Province and saw in Sanzhen that the country was undergoing post-disaster reconstruction in full swing, he even felt that this apocalyptic disaster was nothing, the difficulties were only temporary, and everything would be fine.
But now, watching one-tenth of the country's land sink under the sea, one of the three people's population has disappeared when the disaster struck, and all the economically developed coastal areas have been destroyed by the tsunami, Chen Xin Only then can I clearly feel that this apocalyptic disaster is truly the end of the world.

In fact, even in the city where Chen Xin is located, due to its proximity to Dongting Lake, sea water backflow occurred when the tsunami arrived, and the area of the entire lake area has expanded to the level of Yunmengze in ancient legends.
If it weren't for the fact that the city where Chen Xin is located is a hilly landform with higher terrain, I am afraid that at this moment, it would have completely turned into a swamp country like the Poyang Lake area in the neighboring province of Jiangxi.
Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh that the civilization that it took human beings to build for thousands of years~IndoMTL.com~ is like a castle on the beach in the face of the end-time natural disaster, and it was easily destroyed by the waves.
For Yan Guo, most of the economic construction achievements made in the past few decades have been wiped out in this disaster, and everything seems to have gone backward for decades in an instant.
This can't help but raise a concern, can we really overcome the immediate difficulties and rebuild our homeland in this disaster?
Chen Xin thought seriously, but did not despair.
For the people of the Yan Kingdom, we have experienced too much suffering since ancient times, but we have never been defeated by disasters.
When the sky is broken, I make up stones by myself; when a flood comes, I don’t ask the prophets, I dig rivers and canals by myself; when diseases are popular, I don’t ask for miracles, I try to cure myself; when I drown in the East China Sea, I fill up the East China Sea , The sun will shoot down the sun; in the face of disasters, there will always be Yan people who will never retreat.
Just like the old saying before the flood, the people of Yan Kingdom are invincible! We must be able to overcome all suffering and rebuild our home!
