Chapter 113: The Plague of Despair

The manager of Huaiyuan Sanctuary is called Yang Zhou, who is an energetic old man. According to the information, he was a university professor with a high administrative level before the end of the world. After the sun went out, he came to Huaiyuan Sanctuary. Finally, after the previous managers passed away, he took over as the administrator of the shelter.

This was the first time Su Mei saw this old man. He was slightly bald and had gray hair, but he was in good spirits and talkative. He was wearing a patched gray Zhongshan suit. The girl explained her purpose. He pondered for a while, but without any official accent, so he transferred Chu Huainan's complete information from the management room and handed it to Su Mei.

This is probably one of the few places in Huaiyuan Sanctuary that retained the glory of the old era. Although everyone's information has paper files, it is mainly retained on the computer. When Su Mei needed to check Chu Huainan's files, Yang Zhou gave her the key so that she could have the permission to check it.

Of course, only Chu Huainan is allowed.

During this period, Lu Yuan had been with him, of course, just accompanying him and playing, and did not do anything beyond his identity.

As for Lu Yuan's identity, Lu Yuan's identity is now Su Mei's helping doctor. Simply put, it is an errand running, and the boy is also very happy to do errand running work.

"The people in this refuge seem to be very good." Su Mei sat in front of the game computer. The computer in the refuge is actually no different from modern computers. There are even some simple games on it, but when I play, I feel astonished as if I am playing games on the computer in the game.

After all, when VR technology develops to a certain level, the sense of déjà vu of the Matrix will linger.

The girl is looking for more information about the shelter. At present, the Huaiyuan shelter is located on a huge coal mine in Jinshan Province. It was originally a thermal power station. After the end of the world, it was transformed into a huge shelter that can accommodate 15,000 people. It maintains the normal operation of the shelter by extracting groundwater and digging coal. It is a shelter with relatively good operating conditions.

But even after the sun goes out, the movement of the plates inside the earth still has not ended. Due to the loss of external contact, the excavation of coal, groundwater or other minerals is a bit difficult. After all, mine disasters occur from time to time, and once they occur, there is basically no hope of rescue.

After all, in such a doomsday, it is not enough for everyone to protect themselves, and it is even more difficult to protect and save others.

If there is any benefit, it is that as the sun goes out and frost comes to the world, Jinshan Province, which was originally an inland province, has a long territory as its strategic depth. After the sea is frozen, all the unfrozen ports have become permanent ports, and the coast is no longer something to be envied.

Huaiyuan Sanctuary is among all the shelters, neither outstripping nor backward, and is almost at a very moderate level. Since the underground coal mines are enough for this shelter to be used for thousands of years, the shelter is still a long way from destruction before coal resources are exhausted.

Unless it is said that the people in the shelter will die first.

In the information given by Yang Zhou, Su Mei received more information about Chu Huainan. Just like the simple outline given by the system before, Chu Huainan and her husband were both the first members of the shelter recruited by the state, and his son entered as a family member. Yang Zhou is an excellent software engineer, while her husband is a top-level power engineer with his own patents and creations in many generator fields.

Simply put, this is a small number of families that can avoid fragmentation in the end.

But the good times did not last long. With the lack of manpower in the shelter, even their sons had to go down the well to perform coal excavation operations.

After all, the supply of coal is equivalent to the black gold in the shelter, and the amount of coal stored is the lifeline of this shelter.

Although thermal power stations can support more people, they cannot maintain their technological level before the end of the day, and under the premise of consuming equally huge resources.

I can only rely on some spare parts that have been stored in advance.

After all, when the global supply chain is cut off, the closed ecosystem that a shelter can eventually form is barely maintaining technology after the Second Industrial Revolution. For example, the computer used by Su Mei, how could Huaiyuan Shelter have the ability to produce chips and store particles? So it can only rely on the accessories left after the last time the material is allocated.

In a sense, the most useless thing about this refuge is to repair computers, because if the hardware is damaged, it is really hard for a good cook to cook without rice.

As for software corruption, most of the time it is solved by turning on and off. In the end, most of the software companies in the doomsday have stopped vulnerability updates, and almost no one will feel like spreading the virus.

In short, what happened to Chu Huainan is a rather boring story.

In the mine accident, the son who was underground was in danger. The father relied on his position in the shelter and forcibly organized a team to rescue his son, but he encountered a second landslide.

Chu Huainan's life pillar collapsed in an instant. She committed suicide by taking sleeping pills at home, but was sent to the hospital by her detective neighbor. Although she barely saved her life, after the aspiration of death, she was left with the help of medicine and hoped to die.

Su Mei quickly finished reading the information about Chu Huainan, while Lu Yuan always maintained a calm expression.

Because all the cases in the entire game are actually real things that have been modified.

The Transportation Commission stores all the last knowledge and technological crystallization of mankind, and also records the rise and fall of every refuge.

In his previous life, this Huaiyuan refuge was eventually caused by Chu Huainan as the first patient to have a mental breakdown, which eventually caused a large-scale spread of despair.

Since heavy machinery is difficult to operate in coal mines, it ultimately relies on original explosives, track cars, and human power to excavate and fill, and ultimately basically uses human lives as driving force to maintain the operation of coal mines.

For all the people above who are still alive.

But when someone finally realized that they were doing something completely hopeless, it was like a camel carrying heavy goods falling from the last straw.

Watching the people around me die one by one, I also lose hope for human beings and cannot see the dawn. This is the biggest challenge facing human beings in the future.

It is also the most desperate plague.

Su Mei turned off the computer.

Considering the aging problem of circuit board use, all computers in the shelter actually have a timing system, and everyone has a corresponding usage time quota.

So playing with computers is a very luxurious thing.
