Chapter 980 Solar Radiation, Are You Going to Betray?
Big camphor tree base.
Under the outer wall, flames burned the zombies.
In the flames, the zombies were burned by gasoline and emitted a foul smell.
After the rain stopped, the zombies piled up no longer increased in height. Instead, due to the reduced sensitivity of the zombies, the height of the pile was reduced.
Even if gasoline is not used to clean up the zombies outside, as long as the sun comes out, these zombies will retreat.
But these zombies will not leave too far even if the sun comes out. It is better to eliminate some of the zombies as much as possible now that the zombies are concentrated.
The sky became brighter and brighter, and the sun was 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 in the power room, they asked, "The sun is about to come out, and now the power system is all shut down. You just said that you can make a magnetic shield to restore some power supply. How long will it take?"
Dong Ying thought for a while and said, "Five hours. Give me five hours and give me the corresponding materials. I can make a small magnetic shield."
Li Yu estimated in his mind.
The most in need of power restoration in the base now is the freezer, which stores a large amount of meat and some perishable materials.
The freezer is located underground, and the insulation measures are very good. In addition, it is frozen now, and there are a lot of ice cubes in it.
If the door of the freezer is not opened and the hot air does not enter, it should be no problem to hold on for ten hours.
"Five hours? Okay, I'll give you five hours. Xiaohang, you are responsible for finding the relevant materials needed for Dong Ying." Li Yu said to Li Hang with a slight relief in his heart.
In the Dazhangshu base, the collection mission that lasted for so long, the cooperative personnel system, has enabled the Dazhangshu base to store a variety of materials and items.
These things may seem useless at ordinary times, but they can play a big role in some special circumstances.
For example, some cables that Lao Huang and his team found before, as long as you bring these things to the Dazhangshu base, you will be given food in exchange.
The materials of the magnetic screen, 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 in principle.
Not all of these things are available, but some of them are still available.
Lao Dong listened quietly beside him, walked over and whispered to Dong Ying: "I will help you later."
Lao Dong is an electricity expert. This is actually a relatively simple matter for him. In his opinion, it will not take five hours to get it done, maybe three hours?
But he did not speak, just silently supported his daughter.
At present, only part of the power can be restored, which is still possible to solve the power demand of a freezer, but it is not a simple matter to restore more.
This time the magnetic storm is not only aimed at the power grid, but will affect all electronic equipment.
Even if you are using a diesel generator to generate electricity, as long as you use a generator, there will be a transformer, and the transformer will be damaged under the magnetic storm.
"City Lord, let's hurry up and make the magnetic screen. 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 you 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 electric box and locked the door of the basement.
He glanced at the time and it was five forty-five minutes.
There was a faint blush on the horizon, and the temperature was rising rapidly.
They wore hats and heat-insulating clothes and ran to the outer city.
Li Yu looked at the horizon and always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of water flowing in the underground drainage pipe.
Then he remembered, yes!
Shantang Reservoir closed the gate!
There had been heavy rains before, and in order to prevent the rain from flooding and collapsing the Shantang Reservoir, the drainage gate was opened to the maximum.
After the rain subsided, they closed the sluice gate a lot, but not completely.
But now that the rain has stopped, we must quickly close the sluice gate to prevent the water in the Shantang Reservoir from flowing out.
Although it has just rained and there is water everywhere, the strong solar radiation and obvious evaporation effect will evaporate the water on the ground. At that time, the water crisis will appear.
If we don’t store water now, it will be too late to find a solution when there is a shortage of water.
So he called Li Tie to go over and close the sluice gate together.
Very quickly.
They ran to the Shantang Reservoir and shook the round turntable with their hands, which required a lot of strength.
In the past, they could close it with one button, but now the power system is shut down, and they can only rely on the initial manpower to push.
Li Tie’s face flushed, but he still couldn’t push it. Li Yu squatted down and pushed together.
Finally, the gate was slowly closed. Li Yu hurriedly ran out to see the flood discharge gate. It was completely closed. No water flowed out of the Shantang Reservoir anymore, and he was relieved immediately.
It had just rained, and I felt a little stuffy.
It had just rained, so the air should have been cooler, but now the sun was about to come out and the temperature was rising instead of falling.
To protect themselves, they all wrapped themselves up tightly, wearing hats, scarves, sunglasses, and long-sleeved gloves.
The whole person looked like a dumpling.
After the intense exercise just now, they were sweating.
Li Tie was a little stuffy and breathless, and subconsciously wanted to take off the mask scarf wrapped around his neck and mouth.
"Don't take it off!" Li Yu saw his action and said immediately.
Li Tie paused when he heard the words and quickly put his hand down.
The next second.
The sun came out!
A round of golden light sprinkled.
Thousands of miles of light.
Li Tie swore that this was the brightest sun he had ever seen in his life, and it was almost blinding his eyes.
"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 sunglasses on, he lowered his head and shed tears.
Solar radiation is no joke. This intensity of radiation contains terrifying energy.
This kind of solar radiation can roast an egg in one minute.
In less than ten minutes, a person's skin will be burned through.
When exposed to the sun, there will be a strong burning sensation.
At the moment, the sun has not come out completely, only a small tip has been revealed, but it has such power.
Along with it, there is also a magnetic storm that is invisible to the human eye, surging.
Dong Ying and others who have arrived at the maintenance factory, they saw that the maintenance room suddenly became bright, and they 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, obviously it had exceeded the limit.
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 after seeing it, "So high!"
He Bing, Lao Luo, Zhou Ran, and Xue Zhihua, Wang Yin and other professors and top students who fled from the southwest also came over after hearing the sound.
This matter is very urgent, so these people were also asked to come to help. Xue Zhihua is a mechanical engineer, and Wang Yin is a master of materials science.
"What is this? Exceeded the limit?" Li Hang and Yang Tianlong pushed some materials in. Seeing them gathered together, Li Hang swallowed and asked.
"Yes, it's over the limit. Fortunately, the power system was shut down, otherwise the power system in the base would collapse, and the factories, heating equipment, and electric lights in the base would all be out of service." Lao Luo, who was standing next to him, said.
At this time, everyone looked at Dong Ying with a hint of respect. In their opinion, if Dong Ying hadn't discovered it, the power system might have collapsed.
The materials were brought over, and they quickly started to work.
But as the sun rose outside, they gradually felt a little hot.
When it rained heavily, the body temperature might be less than ten degrees, so most of them wore more than two layers of clothes.
But at this time, as the sun came out, a dense stream of sweat formed on their backs.
Lao Luo looked at the open door and walked straight over to close it.
Then he took off his coat and continued to work in a long-sleeved shirt on his upper body.
On the other side.
After Li Yu and Li Tie closed the sluice gate of the Shantang Reservoir,
Li Yu asked Li Yuan to take out the radiation protection suits that he had prepared long ago and distribute them to those who needed to go out for activities.
These radiation-proof suits were obtained from the previous military base. They are fully enclosed and can prevent nuclear radiation, which is a piece of cake for solar radiation protection.
It's just that wearing this radiation-proof suit is a bit bulky.
With some radiation-proof suits, Li Yu and Li Tie went to the second outer city.
Inside and outside the base, all doors and windows were closed to prevent strong light from outside from shining in.
Only in the first outer city, in the greenhouse.
As the sun came out, the temperature in the greenhouse rose sharply. The greenhouse was relatively closed, the air was not circulated, and there were many people, so many people in the greenhouse felt stuffy and uncomfortable.
The temperature increased a little bit, and the greenhouse absorbed heat, and the temperature was higher than that outside.
The clothes they wore changed from long sleeves to short sleeves, and then they began to roll up their sleeves.
Although the top-level solar panels can resist solar radiation, they are not as good as concrete buildings after all.
Even if they were shirtless, a small amount of solar radiation still penetrated the solar panels and shone on them. A scorching heat shone on their skin, and their skin began to turn red over time.
Soon.
After Li Yu understood the situation, he immediately arranged for people to cover all the greenhouses with sunshade nets.
This sunshade net has a sunshade rate of up to 42%, which can effectively block solar radiation.
"Protection must be done! Wear radiation protection clothing.
Those who don't have radiation protection clothing, try to help below.
In addition, never let solar radiation directly shine on the skin, and wear goggles for the 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 arrange it."
Li Yu handed over the greenhouses in the inner city to Anya and Ding Jiu.
The scorching sun scorched the earth.
It had just rained, and the ground was full of water.
Under the strong sunlight, the rain was evaporated, forming steaming water vapor that floated in the air.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the entire earth was steaming with water vapor, forming a mist, but it was precisely because of the evaporation of these water vapors that the temperature rise was delayed.
The outdoor temperature is only about 20 degrees now, but it is rising as time goes by.
A few hours ago.
Oil City.
With the end of the rainstorm, 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 stopped, he must notify Ju Tianrui, no matter when.
"Has the rain stopped?" Ju Tianrui ran out barefoot without wearing a coat.
"Yes, the rain has stopped." Dongtai's mouth was full of smiles.
Ju Tianrui hurried to the wall to see the situation of the zombies below.
The mobile switch was still working, but the height of the zombies was not so high. In some places, the mobile switch could only cut the air because the height of the zombies was too low.
"Captain, the rain has stopped! Why do you look unhappy?" Dongtai saw that Ju Tianrui seemed to be worried, 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 mobile switch also stop?" Dongtai didn't understand Ju Tianrui's purpose.
But he looked down and found that as the rainstorm ended, the height of the zombie pile was also decreasing. Now it seemed that there was no problem in shutting down the mobile switch.
But
"I told you to shut it down, so why are you talking so much nonsense? Follow the order!"
There are no factories in the oil city. In addition to the large amount of electricity required for a mobile switch, there is only one oil well left. When digging, it is necessary to turn on the electric lighting and power equipment.
It's just that Ma Sailong had just repaired it last time, and then the rainstorm came again, so it is still closed.
The rest is 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 order was like a mountain. Since Ju Tianrui had given the order, he could only do it.
So he had to go down and shut down the power system.
The power system of the oil city is relatively simple, and the power supply relies solely on diesel power generation. It only needs to turn off the diesel generator and pull down the switch to shut it down.
Ju Tianrui was worried. He actually didn't understand why the power system should be shut down, nor did he understand why General Manager Li left them dozens of sets of radiation protection suits.
He guessed at the time, could there be a nuclear explosion?
But he is a man of strict discipline. As long as the orders are issued by the superiors, he will do them in a down-to-earth manner.
This is also why he would protect Gan Gaojie and others even if he found something wrong at Chengzizhoutou before finding evidence.
The power system of Oil City is shut down.
Everyone was confused, and the feedback they gave when they asked about the situation was the order given by Ju Tianrui.
"Have you discussed this matter with the headquarters? Why did you turn off the power directly? There are still zombies outside!" Zuo Ruxue found Dongtai and looked at him strangely.
"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 rain has stopped and the zombies are not so active. The stacking height has dropped. Besides, it will be dawn in a while."
People who come out of the army, even in the end of the world, still habitually obey orders.
Zuo Ruxue was a little angry. They have stayed in Oil City for the longest time. They have 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 couldn't help thinking wildly.
She had met a kind of person before.
This kind of person usually looks good, sunny and cheerful, as if there is no difference from a normal person.
But suddenly one day he killed someone, and even had the idea of revenge on society, hatred of humanity, and death together.
Mental illness.
Could it be that Ju Tianrui has a mental illness? Zuo Ruxue thought to herself.
He looked at Dongtai and wanted to tell him his guess.
But Dongtai also obeyed Ju Tianrui. If she didn't have enough evidence to convince him, he would definitely listen to Ju Tianrui.
The best way now is to contact the headquarters base, and then ask the headquarters base whether it knows about this matter. If not, you can ask Ju Tianrui why he did this on the spot.
At that time, Dongtai may fall to her side.
So, Zuo Ruxue hurried to the conference room.
Pick up the military radio to contact the big camphor tree base.
But there was only a noisy electric current sound, and it was impossible to contact the big camphor tree base.
What is this! ! ! ?
Zuo Ruxue was startled and began to think wildly.
As she thought about it, she felt something was wrong, as if there was a shocking conspiracy.
At the same time.
Dongtai saw Zuo Ruxue leaving with a complicated expression, so he followed her.
"What are you doing?" Dongtai asked.
A loud noise.
It echoed in the empty conference room.
Zuo Ruxue forced herself to calm down, looked at Dongtai and said, "The base has been very kind to us! What are you going to do? You know the strength of the base, do you know what the consequences of betraying the base are?"
Even though she tried hard to calm down, her voice was still trembling.
Dongtai looked at her strangely after hearing what she said, and nodded and looked at her with his hand, "What a mess, what are you talking about?"
Zuo Ruxue imagined a lot, looked at him with some horror and said, "Shut down the power system, I don't know what the purpose of doing 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 Oil City alone?
It shouldn’t be, how could you? "
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's no need to act
"If you don't believe me, try it yourself." Zuo Ruxue said.
Dongtai gave her a strange look, 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. Besides, 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.
"Holy shit, 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 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 let you explain 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 would always give some orders, but these orders would 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?"
Such a result appeared in the minds of the three people at the same time.
