And human beings, who are imprisoned in time and space, spend their entire lives just searching for an algae cell in this infinite sea. Then, with pitifully limited knowledge, they find their own place in the structure called society.
, divide occupations, mark status, define abilities...
If the algae cells in which humans live continue to exist leisurely, then humans will continue in the ignorant game of their own design for a long time.
However, for algae cells in the sea that can be turned into feces by other organisms at any time, it is really not a good proposition that can be linked to survival.
In this universe full of malice, death and destruction are inevitable, but at least, collect the necessary knowledge and let yourself struggle as long as possible.
...
Among the known or foreseeable situations, there are many doomsdays that are too simple, such as the destruction of stars, the explosion of black holes, and the change of physical laws. Anyway, in the face of this type of doomsday, human beings are not even qualified to struggle, so there is no
Any discussion is necessary. This article only starts from reality and discusses the end of the world within the human ability to cope with it.
In fact, there are not many apocalypses that humans can cope with. They can be roughly divided into biochemical crises, world wars, alien invasions, and natural disasters.
In Resident Evil, humans are infected by a virus and turn into zombies, and then they run around biting and developing the same kind. Of course, even if the people infected by the virus don't bite, the deadly virus itself is enough to threaten the entire human civilization. With a little bit of luck,
Worse, it would be even more troublesome if those viruses, while causing death to humans if infected, could also cause some animals to evolve and mutate.
A world war, a conventional world war, is certainly rational. At least the possibility of directly annihilating human civilization is very low. But if it reaches the level of a nuclear war, a round of land washing can kill 90% of the people.
Next, most of human creations will be labeled as non-renewable, and almost all of the original daily necessities will be used a little less. Extreme scarcity of materials will lead to further cannibalism by humans.
The alien invasion will be classified here. Of course, it is not the advanced civilization that destroys the planet with one shot. It is the kind of technology that will not be much higher than human beings, probably just enough to crush them. As long as they are not unlucky in the first
Being killed in one wave, the humans who react can do something, such as fighting guerrillas, negotiating, and stealing technology. Although this kind of doomsday has the most variables, it also has the most opportunities.
Natural disasters, whether they are volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, sudden rises and falls in temperature, or geomagnetic reversals. As long as they do not come together, it is basically impossible for such a doomsday to completely destroy mankind. After the disaster, mankind can quickly rely on
The remaining technology re-emerged, and sadly, it was the time when the disaster subsided.
...
Let’s talk about how to deal with it.
Since we are not sure which situation will lead to the end of the world, our response method must be able to handle all of the above situations at the same time.
Let’s start with the individual’s position in the apocalypse.
The reason why it is called the end of the world is because it has exceeded the limit of human power. Therefore, we must first give up the idea of following the majority of people or asking for help from the army to form a force.
In a biohazard, the more people there are, the faster they die.
In a world war, the places with the most people will be hit first. At the same time, the more people there are, the faster resources will be consumed. If you are not at the top of one organization, you will only become an object of exploitation or even cannon fodder.
In the event of an alien invasion, places with large populations or armed forces are definitely striking points.
As for the so-called similar in natural disasters, it may be a proxy for food reserves.
Maybe you think you are strong, or have enough resources, or are very smart. But are you sure you are lucky enough? In the apocalypse, nothing can guarantee an advantage except luck. But luck...
....There will be someone better than you.
As mentioned above, in the apocalypse, at least in the early stages of the apocalypse, survival is the most important thing, and the key to survival is not to get involved with too many people. You, or a small group with a close enough relationship, can find a place to hide.
is the first choice.
As for where to hide?
There are many well-known shelters in the world. They are buried deep underground, have solid structures, pleasant environments, abundant supplies, and professional security... For these shelters built with a lot of money, they can almost be called perfect. But the only problem is
Yes, they are too well-known. No matter what type of apocalypse there is, there will always be people who aim to rush in. Those who hide inside may not live as long as those who hide in deep mountains and old forests.
As for the shelters built secretly by some governments or wealthy people, secrets are only relative terms. If you can't guarantee that you will be able to live in them with all the insiders, it won't take long for you to receive a large number of visitors.
To be truly safe and a shelter suitable for everyone, you have to do it yourself, or at most, ask a small engineering team from out of town to help dig the hole.
Now let’s talk about where this hole should be dug and why it is said to be a hole.
First of all, in most apocalypse, the center of the disaster is a densely populated center. Zombies bite people on the streets, viruses spread among the crowd, nuclear bombs fall in bustling places, and spaceships hang over the city... So
Stay as far away from the city as possible. Of course, you can't really hide in the mountains and forests, because you can't rule out the possibility of animal mutation, and then countless mutant beasts will surround you and eat you. So staying at the edge of the traces of human activities is the most ideal. For example
The countryside around fifth- and sixth-tier cities can not only minimize the possibility of being attacked, but also cannot guarantee that it will not be completely separated from human society. When necessary, you can easily go nearby to collect information, supplies, and find some food that is about to starve to death.
to raise the same kind of emaciated animals.
Because your shelter is still in a populated area, no matter how strong it is, it will be in danger as long as it is targeted. In order to avoid optical detection (basically refers to eyesight), satellite surveillance, wandering in and out
When something like this happens, digging underground is absolutely necessary.
Since it is said to be underground, the next thing to consider is the geographical location. Without the city's drainage facilities, if you dig randomly, you are likely to be flooded by a heavy rain, so you have to choose a higher place. Expand
Generally speaking, we need to consider not only rainwater, but also seawater. In the event of sea level rise or tsunami, the coastal areas will basically be submerged. Therefore, it is best to dig a hole in the central and western regions. The specific location must exclude geological disasters.
It happens frequently, just in places like earthquake fault zones.
...
According to the rigid requirements for survival, the first priority is oxygen, which goes without saying. When digging a hole, please consider ventilation facilities. The vents must be concealed and safe. In order to prevent external air pollution, it is best if conditions permit.
Prepare an air purification system.
The second is temperature. Although underground space is conducive to maintaining temperature, it cannot control the temperature out of thin air. In order to deal with different disasters, it is necessary to prepare materials that can at least cope with the temperature difference between minus 80 degrees and plus 60 degrees.
The third place is space. Dig the pit as big as possible, not only to store more materials, but also to give people enough space to move. If the space is too small, it is likely that due to mental depression, you will gradually ignore external dangers.
So much so that he ran out of the pit to seek death.
The fourth place is water. Human consumption of water is far greater than imagined, and it is difficult to maintain it by storing water alone. Therefore, it is best to have clean water sources around the pit that can be drank even without heating. If there is water in the pit you dig,
A well is ideal.
The fifth place is light. Except for blind people who are accustomed to darkness, their spirits can easily break down if they are in a dim or even completely dark environment for a long time. Depending on the type of disaster, you may not be able to see natural light for a long time, so it is best to use more
Prepare something that can emit light. Candles are a good thing, they don’t take up space, they last longer than batteries, and they can produce light and heat at the same time. Of course, except in extreme cases, solar-charged things are more useful.
The sixth place is food, which consumes far less than water and has a richer taste.
The seventh place is entertainment. Prepare something that can distract you and prevent you from thinking wildly. For example, books, chess, cards, crafts, etc.
The eighth place is garbage disposal. In order to give yourself a clean living environment, keep digging holes.
Ninth place, auxiliary items for going out...
...
Do you know why this thing is called an emergency doomsday response manual? Because there are only about ten days until the end of the world! If you want to survive, prepare quickly. Even if it is a little slower, the necessary supplies for survival may be
Others will snatch them up first. Maybe the supermarket not far from you has already started to run out of stock.
Below are photos of the shelters I visited that were built according to the above standards by several well-informed people. There are various styles. The key is that the environment is superior and the supplies are sufficient.
...
Finally, do you feel that the world is unfair? When you see this, I have given you the last and greatest fairness of mankind. The question is whether you accept it.
