Chapter 978 Solar radiation, do you want to betray?
Big camphor tree base.
Under the outer wall, flames burned, burning zombies.
In the flames, these zombies were burned by gasoline and emitted a foul smell.
After the rain stops, the zombie stack no longer increases in height. Instead, the stack height decreases due to the reduced sensitivity of the zombies.
Even if you don't use gasoline to clean up the zombies outside, as long as you wait until the sun comes out, the zombies will recede.
But even if the sun comes out, these zombies won't be able to move too far away. It's better to eliminate as many zombies as possible now that the zombies are concentrated.
The sky becomes brighter and brighter, and the sun is about to come out.
Everyone followed Li Yu's instructions and wrapped their bodies tightly.
In the inner city.
Li Yu entered the underground core power room of the base.
Looking at Dong Ying and others in the power room, they asked: "The sun will come out soon, and now the power system is all shut down. You just said that you can build a magnetic screen to restore part of the power supply. How long will it take?"
Dong Ying thought for a while and said: "Five hours, give me five hours and the corresponding materials, I can make a small magnetic screen."
Li Yu made a mental calculation.
The area in the base that needs to be restored to power most now is the freezer, which stores a large amount of meat and some easily perishable materials.
The freezer is located underground and is well insulated. Plus, it is frozen now and there are a lot of ice cubes inside.
As long as you don't open the freezer door and the hot air doesn't get in, there should be no problem if it lasts for ten hours.
"Five hours? Okay, I'll give you five hours, Xiaohang, you are responsible for finding the relevant materials Dong Ying needs." Li Yu felt relieved and said to Li Hang.
In the Dazhangshu Base, the collection mission and cooperative personnel system that have lasted for so long have allowed the Dazhangshu Base to store a variety of materials and items.
These things may seem useless at ordinary times, but they can play a great role in some special situations.
For example, if you bring these cables that Lao Huang and the others found before, the Zhangshu Base will give you food in exchange for them.
In principle, all soft magnetic materials with high magnetic permeability, such as electromagnetic pure iron, ductile iron, permalloy, silicon steel, soft magnetic ferrite, etc., can be used as materials for the magnetic screen.
Not all of these things are available, but some of them are.
Old Dong listened quietly beside him, walked over and whispered to Dong Ying: "I will help you later."
Lao Dong is an electric power expert. This is actually a relatively simple matter for him. In his opinion, it can be done in less than five hours, maybe three hours?
But he didn't speak, just silently supported his daughter.
At present, only part of the power can be restored. It is still possible to meet the power demand of a freezer, but it is not an easy task to restore more.
This magnetic storm will not only affect the power grid, but will affect all electronic equipment.
Even if you use a diesel generator to generate electricity, as long as you use a generator, there will be a transformer, and the transformer will be damaged during a magnetic storm.
"City Lord, let's hurry up and make the magnetic screen now. The maintenance factory in the outer city has work tables and complete equipment. It will be faster to make it there." Dong Ying said to Li Yu.
Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, then go and get busy."
Li Hang took Lao Dong, He Bing, Dong Ying and others to the Second Outer City.
When leaving, Li Hang turned off the electrical box and locked the basement door.
I looked at the time and saw that it was five forty-five minutes.
There is already a faint blush on the horizon, and the temperature is rising rapidly.
Wearing hats and insulated clothes, they ran to the outer city.
Li Yu looked at the horizon, always feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of water flowing from the underground drainage pipe.
Then I remembered, yes!
Shantang Reservoir is closed!
It had been raining heavily before. In order to prevent the Shantang Reservoir from being flooded and collapsed by the rain, the drainage gate was opened to the maximum.
After the rain subsided, they closed the floodgates much smaller, but not completely.
But now that the rain has stopped, we must quickly close the sluice gate to prevent the water from Shantang Reservoir from flowing out.
Although it has just rained and there is water everywhere, the following solar radiation will be strong and the transpiration effect will be obvious, which will evaporate the water on the ground. At that time, a water crisis will occur.
If you don’t stock up on water now, it will be too late to think of solutions when there is a shortage of water.
So he called Li Tie and went over to close the floodgates together.
soon.
They ran to Shantang Reservoir and shook the circular turntable with their hands, which required a lot of strength.
In the past, they could be shut down with a push of a button, but now that the power system is shut down, they can only rely on the initial human push.
Li Tie's expression turned red, but he still couldn't push. Li Yu squatted down and pushed together.
Finally, the gate was slowly closed. Li Yu hurried out and took a look at the floodgate. It was completely closed. No water flowed out of the Shantang Reservoir anymore. He was relieved.
It had just rained and it felt a bit dull.
It had just rained, so the air should have been cooler, but now the sun is about to come out, and the temperature is increasing instead of falling.
In order to protect themselves, they all wrapped themselves up tightly, wearing hats, scarves, sunglasses, and long-sleeved gloves...
The whole person looks like a rice dumpling.
After the strenuous exercise just now, they were sweating all over.
Li Tie was so out of breath that he subconsciously wanted to take off the mask and scarf wrapped around his neck and mouth.
"Don't pick it off!" Li Yu saw his action and said immediately.
When Li Tie heard this, his hand paused and he quickly put it down.
The next second.
The sun is out!
A round of golden light shone.
Thousands of rays of light.
Li Tie swore that this was the brightest sun he had ever seen in his life, and it was almost blinding him.
"If you don't want to go blind, don't look directly at the sun." Li Yu reminded.
Li Tie quickly lowered his head. Even with his sunglasses on his eyes, he lowered his head and shed tears.
Solar radiation is no joke, radiation of this intensity contains terrifying energy.
With this kind of solar radiation, eggs can be cooked in one minute.
In less than ten minutes, a person's skin will be burned through.
Exposed to sunlight, there will be a strong burning sensation.
At the moment, the sun has not fully emerged yet, but only a small tip is exposed, which is so powerful.
Along with this, magnetic storms that are invisible to the naked eye are coming.
Dong Ying and others who had arrived at the maintenance factory saw that the maintenance room suddenly became brighter and knew that the sun had come out.
Dong Ying glanced at the magnetic storm detector placed next to him. The pointer had already pointed to the highest position and was still shaking uncontrollably. It was obviously over the top.
Dong Ying took a breath and said to his father next to him: "Dad, look at the magnetic storm detector, this..."
Old Dong was also a little surprised when he saw it, "So tall!"
He Bing, Lao Luo, Zhou Ran, Xue Zhihua, Wang Yin and others among the top professors and students who had fled from the southwest also heard the news and came over.
This matter was very urgent, so I asked these people to come over to help. Xue Zhihua is a mechanical engineer, and Wang Yin is a master of materials science.
"Is this? Exciting?" Li Hang and Yang Tianlong came in pushing some materials. Seeing them forming a group, Li Hang swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Yes, that's amazing. Fortunately, the power system was turned off. Otherwise, the power system in the base would have collapsed. The factories, heating equipment, lights...all in the base would have to be shut down." Lao Luo, who was standing next to him, said.
said.
At this time, everyone looked at Dong Ying with a hint of respect. In their opinion, if Dong Ying hadn't discovered it, maybe the power system would have collapsed.
The materials were brought over and they quickly got into production work.
But as the sun rose outside, they gradually felt a little hot.
When it rains heavily, the body temperature may be less than ten degrees, so most of them wear more than two pieces of clothing.
But at this time, as the sun came out, a dense line of sweat formed on their backs.
Lao Luo looked at the open door, walked over and closed it.
Then he took off his coat and continued working wearing only a long sleeve on his upper body.
The other side.
After Li Yu and Li Tie closed the water gate of Shantang Reservoir,
Li Yu asked Li Yuan to take out the radiation-proof suits that he had prepared long ago and distribute them to people who needed to go out for activities.
These radiation protection suits were harvested from previous military bases. They are fully enclosed and can prevent nuclear radiation. This is simply trivial for protecting against solar radiation.
It's just that this radiation protection suit looks a bit bulky.
With some radiation protection suits, Li Yu and Li Tie went to the Second Outer City.
All doors and windows inside and outside the base are closed to prevent strong light from outside.
Just in the first outer city, in the greenhouse.
As the sun comes out, the temperature inside the greenhouse rises sharply. The greenhouse is relatively closed, the air is not circulating, and there are many people, so many people in the greenhouse feel stuffy and uncomfortable.
The temperature is increasing little by little. The greenhouse absorbs heat, and the temperature is even higher than outside.
The clothes they wore changed from long sleeves to short sleeves, and then they started to puff up their arms.
Although the solar panels on the top floor can resist solar radiation, they are not as good as concrete buildings.
Even though they were shirtless, a small amount of solar radiation still penetrated the solar panel and shone on them. A scorching heat hit their skin. Over time, their skin began to turn red.
soon.
After Li Yu learned about this situation, he immediately arranged for people to cover all the greenhouses with sunshade nets.
The shading rate of this kind of sunshade net can reach 42%, which can effectively block solar radiation.
"Protection must be taken! Wear radiation-proof clothing.
For those who don’t have radiation protection suits, please try your best to help below.
In addition, never let solar radiation directly hit the skin, and wear goggles for your eyes. If you don’t have goggles, wear sunglasses." Li Yu explained to He Chao.
He Chao nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go over and make arrangements."
Li Yu handed over the greenhouse in the inner city to Anya and Ding Jiu.
The venomous sunshine is scorching the earth.
It had just rained and the ground was full of water.
Under strong sunlight, this rainwater is evaporated, forming steaming water vapor that floats in the air.
Visible to the naked eye, water vapor is evaporating across the entire earth, forming a mist. However, it is precisely because of the evaporation of this water vapor that the temperature rise is delayed.
Now the outdoor temperature is just over 20 degrees, but as time goes by, the temperature continues to rise.
.........
a few hours ago.
Oil City.
As the rainstorm ended, everyone in the city was ecstatic.
Dongtai, who was on duty, quickly told the good news to Ju Tianrui, who was sleeping.
Ju Tianrui told him that when the rain stops, he must notify Ju Tianrui, no matter at any time.
"The rain has stopped?" Ju Tianrui didn't even wear a coat and ran out barefoot.
"Yes, the rain has stopped." Dongtai said with a smile on his face.
Ju Tianrui quickly ran to the wall to see the zombies below.
The mobile guillotine is still operating, but the height of the zombie stack is not that high. In some places, the height of the zombie stack is too low, and the movable guillotine can only cut the air out of thin air.
"Battal Commander, the rain has stopped! Why don't you look happy?" Dongtai saw that Ju Tianrui seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked.
"Turn off the main switch!" Ju Tianrui took a deep breath and said to Dongtai.
"Ah? Why? If the main switch is turned off, won't the moving knife also stop?" Dongtai did not understand Ju Tianrui's purpose.
But he looked below and found that as the rainstorm ended, the height of the zombie stacks also dropped. Now it seems that there is no problem in closing the mobile gate knife...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But...
"I'll shut you down as soon as I tell you. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just execute the order!"
There are no factories in the oil city. Except for a mobile guillotine that requires a lot of electricity, there is only one oil well left. When digging, electric lighting and electrical equipment need to be turned on.
It's just that the Marseille was just repaired last time, and then the heavy rain came again, so it is still closed now.
The others are nothing more than lighting and heating, but these two items don't seem to have much impact on them at present.
Dongtai was full of doubts, but the military orders were like mountains. Since Ju Tianrui gave the order, he could only follow it.
So I had to go down and turn off the power system.
The power system in Oil City is relatively simple. The power supply relies solely on diesel power. All you need to do is turn off the diesel generator and pull down the switch.
Ju Tianrui was worried. He actually didn't understand why the power system was shut down, and he didn't understand why Mr. Li left dozens of sets of radiation protection suits for them.
He wondered at that time whether there might be another nuclear explosion.
But he is a very disciplined person, and as long as the orders given by his superiors are given, he will actually do it.
This is why even if he found something was wrong in Chengzizhou, he would still protect Gan Gaojie and the others until he found evidence.
Oil City's power system shuts down.
Everyone looked confused. When asked about the situation, the feedback they received was the order given by Ju Tianrui.
"Have you discussed this matter with the headquarters? Why did you just turn off the power switch? There are zombies outside!" Zuo Ruxue found Dongtai and looked at him strangely and said.
"I don't know. If you have any questions, go to the battalion commander. I am the one who executes the order. But you don't have to worry about the zombies outside. The zombies are not so active after the rain stops, and the stack height has dropped. Besides, it will be dawn in a while.
Already."
People who join the army, even in the last days, still obey orders habitually.
Zuo Ruxue was a little angry. They had stayed in Oil City for the longest time. They had experienced Lao Bi, Xiao Jun, and now Ju Tianrui.
In her impression, Ju Tianrui is not that kind of person, he is not such a dictatorial person!
Her eyes flickered, and she could not help but have random thoughts in her mind.
She once met a kind of person.
This kind of person usually looks good, sunny and cheerful, and seems to be no different from a normal person.
But suddenly one day he commits murder, and even takes revenge on society, hates mankind, and dies together.
mental illness.
Could it be that Ju Tianrui has a mental illness? Zuo Ruxue thought to herself.
He looked at Dongtai, wanting to tell him his guess.
But Dongtai also listened to Ju Tianrui's orders. If he didn't have enough evidence to convince him, he would definitely listen to Ju Tianrui.
The best way at the moment is to contact the headquarters base and ask if the headquarters base knows about this matter. If not, you can ask Ju Tianrui on the spot why he did this.
At that time, Dongtai may fall to his side.
So Zuo Ruxue hurriedly ran to the conference room.
Pick up the military radio and contact Da Zhangshu Base.
But there was only a noisy sound of electricity, and there was no way to contact the Da Zhangshu Base.
This is!!!?
Zuo Ruxue was shocked and began to think wildly.
As she thought about it, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong, as if there was a shocking conspiracy involved.
at the same time.
Dongtai saw Zuo Ruxue leaving with a complicated expression, so he followed him.
"What are you doing?" Dongtai asked.
There was a startling sound.
echoed in the empty conference room.
Zuo Ruxue forced herself to calm down, looked at Dongtai and said, "The base treats us well! What are you going to do? You know the strength of the base. Do you know what the consequences of betraying the base will be?"
Even though she tried hard to calm down her emotions, her voice still trembled a little.
When she said this, Dongtai looked at her strangely, nodded and looked at her with his hand, "What nonsense, what are you talking about?"
Zuo Ruxue thought a lot, looked at him with some horror and said: "Turn off the power system, I don't know what the purpose of this is.
But destroying the military radio is just to cut off the connection between the base and us, right? Do you want to occupy the Oil City alone?
It shouldn’t be, how could you do it?”
Dongtai's head was confused when he heard it, but he grasped the key point.
"The radio is broken?" Dongtai walked over, glanced at her and asked.
Zuo Ruxue saw his reaction and began to wonder if she had made a mistake.
There is no need to act...
"If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Zuo Ruxue said.
Dongtai looked at her strangely, sat down and tried to contact the Da Zhangshu base, but failed.
So Dongtai picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Ju Tianrui.
"Battal Commander, this is Dongtai. The military radio is broken. Please come over. Also, Zuo Ruxue seems to be... crazy."
"You're crazy." Zuo Ruxue scolded.
Dongtai smiled, but was puzzled that he had not received any news from Ju Tianrui.
"Batalion Commander, battalion commander, please answer when you receive it!"
still none.
"What the hell, is the walkie-talkie broken? Today is really weird." Dongtai patted the walkie-talkie and said.
Zuo Ruxue calmed down at this time. Seeing that Dongtai didn't seem to be faking it, she began to think about what all this was going on.
Dongtai stood up and said to Zuo Ruxue: "Stand here, don't run around and do anything weird. I'll go find the battalion commander."
Then he walked out with a flashlight.
Zuo Ruxue was spinning her brain wildly in the dark conference room, thinking about what all this was going on.
After a few minutes.
The voices of Ju Tianrui and Dongtai came.
"The military radio is also broken?"
"Who says it's not right? Zuo Ruxue's head is also broken."
"Don't talk nonsense. It's all my fault. I didn't ask you to explain it clearly. I'll explain it to her."
...
Zuo Ruxue watched them come in.
At this time, she was no longer so impulsive, but there were too many doubts in her mind that needed to be answered.
Ju Tianrui didn't talk nonsense and ended her doubts with one sentence.
"This is Mr. Li's arrangement."
When Zuo Ruxue heard this, all her doubts seemed to disappear.
In her impression, Mr. Li always issued some orders, but these orders could always be effective later.
It's Mr. Li's order, so it's okay.
Zuo Ruxue smiled awkwardly and said, "Ahem, I'm sorry about that. Since it's Mr. Li's order, it's okay. I'll go back first."
After saying that, he seemed to be running away and wanted to get out of here.
Just at this time.
It suddenly became bright outside.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated and the aurora appeared, lighting up the entire night sky.
Ju Tianrui and Zuo Ruxue saw the light outside and walked out together.
"Is this why walkie-talkies and radios can't be used?"
The three of them had this result in their minds at the same time.
