Chapter 360 Nuclear Winter
The strong wind howled and the cold air burst.
An HH-60 helicopter lands at Nassau International Airport. Lena Fox, who was wearing a thick fleece jacket, walked out of the cabin, her feet were weak and she almost fell down. Zhou Qingfeng quickly stepped forward to support her, and led her out of the scope of the rotor.
Looking up at the gray sky, Lena Fox cursed in a low voice: "This damn weather is really going to wipe out all of us."
A separate meeting room has been opened up in the airport terminal, and the indoor temperature is maintained at around ten degrees by electric heaters. When Lina came in, she rushed to the side of the electric heater. Her hands were as red as carrots from the cold.
In the conference room, all the senior officials of the 'Aurora Legion' are present. A group of people gathered around the table, looking solemnly at Zhou Qingfeng and Lina who had just entered. The old man Clooney, who was new to the group, coughed and said, "I think we have to come up with a plan, or we'll really freeze to death."
Now in the whole world, I am afraid that only the "Aurora Legion" occupying Nassau has made the most adequate preparations for the end times. But this kind of preparation also looks extremely ridiculous in the face of the huge disaster of nuclear bomb washing the ground.
All major cities around the world were nuked, and those who survived the bomb were not off the hook. In fact, the direct lethality of a global nuclear explosion is the most inconspicuous, and the secondary damage of a nuclear bomb is devastating. The most terrible thing among them is-nuclear winter!
A global nuclear scrub would send up huge clouds of dust, fine particles of which would float into Earth's stratosphere. Because the air in the stratosphere is basically stagnant, these fine soot particles will stay in the stratosphere for a long, long time. This is tantamount to covering the earth with a layer of cover, the sunlight will not be able to directly shine on the surface, and the temperature of the ground will drop sharply.
Past theories have suggested that nuclear winter will last for decades. But the latest research shows that nuclear winter may last up to a year and break for three or four months. But no one knows whether his mother's scientist is accurate or not!
Now the global temperature has dropped by 20 degrees, and a large number of human beings are dying in the cold. The waters of the Bahamas are close to the tropics, but now it is almost as cold as the frigid zone. The citizens of Nassau are used to living in the tropics. As a result, the low temperature has come—in just two days, the streets are full of frozen corpses. The armed forces of the 'Aurora Legion' don't do anything, they collect corpses all day long.
New Providence Island, where Nassau is located, has a population of 300,000. Zhou Qingfeng was once worried about how he could feed so many people? But now this problem no longer exists, and it is God’s blessing that these people can survive 100,000 under the attack of nuclear winter!
Lena returned to Nassau from Newport News with the rescue carrier convoy. To deal with the predicament in Nassau, she had to take a risky helicopter ride down the coast. After drinking a cup of hot cocoa milk, Miss Fox let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Now we can only guarantee our own people first, and we can only do our best for the rest.
"
The "insiders" mentioned by Lina only refers to the internal personnel of the "Aurora Legion", which is the 500 core members mentioned by "GOD", and there are 25,000 backbone members.
Raymond is Lina's chief assistant, and he quickly said: "We have brought more than 100 ships from Florida, and there are a lot of supplies on board, including more than 300,000 tons of food. For the time being, we have no shortage of food at all. But we are short of fuel.
Fortunately, we still have the two nuclear reactors of the "Aurora", and the nuclear reactors are now operating at full power. We have already connected the island's power grid to the 'Aurora' to ensure that our own people can still meet the requirements for the time being. As for the aborigines on the island, we are really helpless. "
Zhou Qingfeng stayed in this world for two months, advancing the NTZ project from 35 to 39, but the difficulty of follow-up is getting higher and higher, and the support of more high-end equipment is also needed. And when he returned to the world of wasteland, what he faced was the disaster of nuclear winter.
Faced with the predicament, Zhou Qingfeng ordered: "Organize the people on the island to demolish the houses. Most of the houses here are made of wood, which can be demolished and used as fuel for burning. The remaining people choose some large buildings to live in. At the same time, we must strengthen Patrols by armed forces and summary executions in case of harassment.
Another thing is to take in a group of high-quality aborigines on the island, especially young women who are easier to manage and can be used as ordinary labor. When the situation gets a little better, we will encourage births.
Last but not least, we're going to expand. The closest thing to us is Cuba, and Lena is responsible for dragging the USS Kennedy out of the stranded fjord. I'm here to fix the oil refinery in Havana, hope it doesn't get completely nuked and still refine oil for us. "
The history of human civilization is the history of energy evolution. From burning wood to coal to burning oil, every time is a huge scientific and technological progress. Now...whether enough fuel can be obtained will affect whether the 'Aurora Legion' can continue to develop, or even whether they can survive?
Since Lena is in charge of the government affairs of the Legion, and Katerina is in charge of Nassau's security and army, Butcher and Minsk are still floating on the sea back to Nassau. It can only be that Zhou Qingfeng, the army commander, personally went to Havana, Cuba to see if he could control the Cienfuegos oil refinery there?
Speaking of which, this was a mistake made by Zhou Qingfeng before. He wanted to seize this large oil refinery earlier, but in fact he forgot that Havana, as the capital of Cuba, would also be attacked by a nuclear bomb. Now it's just a matter of luck.
Before setting off, Zhou Qingfeng sent a speedboat to carry out a reconnaissance mission. A small drone on board a speedboat took pictures of Havana's urban conditions. Not surprisingly, Havana suffered two nuclear warheads, with a total tonnage of more than 100,000 tons T*N*T, and most of the entire city was destroyed.
And the drones focused on the Cienfuegos refinery, which was also destroyed in a disgraceful way. However, Zhou Qingfeng asked the Enclave for a group of oil technicians before. After the analysis of these professionals, they said that although the refinery damage is serious, it can still be repaired.
Although there is no way to reach the capacity of processing 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day in its heyday, it is profitable for Zhou Qingfeng to be able to process 1,000 barrels.
So the investigation of Havana officially started, first to determine whether the nuclear radiation dose there has dropped to a safe value, then how much population is left in the city, and finally to find a way to send a small army to conduct on-the-spot inspections.
Unlike the nuclear radiation caused by the nuclear power plant accident, the nuclear radiation caused by the nuclear bomb has a high instantaneous intensity, but it will drop to the normal value in a few days. If it rains, the recovery speed will be faster.
In order to avoid radiation sickness, Zhou Qingfeng delayed his departure for Havana for a whole week. But when he was preparing to occupy the refinery with a force of 200, the investigators suddenly gave him bad news-a group of daring Mexicans entered Havana Port from the west, and they had already occupied the refinery.
These people are really tired of life! (To be continued.)
