Chapter 113 Visit 2

Energy refers to resources that can generate energy. The energy here usually refers to heat energy, electrical energy, light energy, mechanical energy, chemical energy, etc.

Energy can be divided into three categories according to its source: energy from the sun. Including energy directly from the sun (such as solar thermal radiation energy) and energy indirectly from the sun (such as coal, oil, natural gas, oil shale and other combustible minerals and firewood and other biomass energy, water energy and wind energy, etc.). Energy from the earth itself. One is geothermal energy stored in the earth's interior, such as underground hot water, underground steam, and dry hot rock; the other is the nuclear energy stored in nuclear fuels such as uranium and thorium in the earth's crust. Energy generated by the gravitational force of celestial bodies such as the moon and the sun on the earth, such as tidal energy.

Of course, countries call oil, coal, etc. traditional energy, which generally pollutes the environment more, while wind energy, solar energy, nuclear energy, etc. are called new energy, which pollutes the environment less.

Before the doomsday, 70% of Xiaguo's electricity generation came from traditional energy sources, such as coal-fired thermal power plants, while hydropower plants, wind power, solar energy and nuclear power accounted for only 30%.

After experiencing two doomsday disasters, Xiaguo's wind, hydropower, solar energy and nuclear power generation have been completely gone. Of course, the whole world is the same, not just Xiaguo. The country's energy supply can only rely on thermal power plants. The nuclear power plants that were originally expected were all on the seaside. Under the impact of the second doomsday, all nuclear power plants were washed away by the tsunami.

The power generation of Fengshi's official base also depends entirely on a thermal power plant in the suburbs of the city. There is a regiment of soldiers stationed there to guard it, and there are many workers. The coal trains dispatched by the central government can go directly to the thermal power plant.

The coal transportation of local bases across the country is supported by several major railway arteries of Xia State. If several major railway arteries of Xia State are paralyzed, then Xia State is basically not far from destruction. Therefore, the central government of Xia State has specially formed an army responsible for railway transportation safety, which is responsible for protecting the safety of railway transportation throughout the process, and is also responsible for maintaining the integrity of railway equipment.

Zhang Henghui, Song Wenbao and Xu Yunkong were walking in a passage of the underground base. Last time Zhang Henghui followed Gu Ming and did not go deep into the underground base of Feng City, so he had no impression of the underground base of Feng City.

After careful observation this time, Zhang Henghui's impression of Fengshi underground base is that it is dark, with only one light far away, and there are pipes on the wall that look like sewers, which occasionally emit a burst of water vapor. According to Xu Yunkong, the cold protection and warming of Fengshi base is like boiling water. High-temperature water vapor is sprayed through pipes in various parts of the underground base to increase the temperature of the underground base. As for the electricity of the thermal power station, it is mainly to ensure the production of various factories in the base. Even the residents are limited in electricity supply. As for using electricity for heating, the government does not have so much electricity to supply. This is why so many people were frozen to death when the super cold wave came.

In the passage, Zhang Henghui occasionally met residents of the base. He found that the residents of Fengshi Base and Yuanxin Base were like two different creatures. The residents of Yuanxin Base were dressed the same as before the end of the world. They were positive and energetic, with rosy faces, and not pale and thin. The residents of Fengshi Base were completely the opposite. There was no hope in their eyes, only despair, numbness and pain. Zhang Henghui felt that if Fengshi Base continued like this, there would be problems sooner or later. Many people might have mental illnesses.

The entire underground base was divided into several floors. Since there was not much time, Xu Yunkong mainly took Zhang Henghui and the others to visit one of the residential areas.

Just as Xu Yunkong took Zhang Henghui and the others to visit the base, the driver and guard team from Yuanxin Base were warmly entertained by the people of Fengshi at the parking lot.

Now the rare vegetables, pickled pork, cigarettes and alcohol were brought out by Fengshi Base. The leading personnel politely arranged the tables and chairs for the people from Yuanxin Base to sit down, and then the leaders of Fengshi told them not to be polite.

In fact, the people of Fengshi didn't know what kind of life the people from Yuanxin Base lived. They thought that luxury things could be eaten at any time in Yuanxin Base as long as they had credit points. You should know that these drivers are from the combat department. Their profession is combat personnel. Now they are just part-time drivers. In Yuanxin Base, apart from the treatment of cadres, the combat department has the best salary and treatment. However, not everyone can enter the combat department, and combat personnel are the most dangerous. After all, they often have to go out to fight zombies or mutant beasts.

Everyone still gave face to the people of Fengshi. They picked up the food and ate it slowly. However, they pretended to be crazy and fooled the other party's various tests, so that Fengshi couldn't find out any important information about Yuanxin Base. They could only know some unimportant things about Yuanxin Base.

Before the departure of Yuanxin Base, the personnel on this mission were trained. There were many things that they were forbidden to disclose to the people in Feng City. If they violated the regulations, they would be sent to the farm in the base for labor reform or expelled. Expelling them would be equivalent to being sentenced to death. No one could survive alone in such a harsh environment outside.

Trying their best was like hitting cotton. The personnel of Feng City Base could not get any important information about Yuanxin Base at all. They could only waste time. Moreover, the other party ate their sugar coating, and the shells returned. They felt a little frustrated, but they could not say it.

There are more than 300,000 people in the official Feng City base. The settlement that Xu Yunkong took the two to visit has tens of thousands of people. All of them are dug out of holes for housing. Some people go to work in the base's factories, some go to work on farms, and some are unemployed and lie in bed, rolling up the quilt in a daze or sleeping. Because of the cold, lying in bed can reduce exercise and maintain body heat, so it doesn't feel so cold. Of course, there are some innocent children playing games outside the house. Just seeing them with runny noses, thin clothes, and shivering, Zhang Henghui and Song Wenbao are a little sad. This phenomenon is not seen at all in the Yuanxin base. The children there live no different from before the end of the world.

"Do you need cold-weather supplies next time?"

"Of course, instructor."

"Then make a list of the supplies you need next time."

"Okay."

The three of them didn't stay in the residential area for long and left there quickly. The main reason was that Zhang Henghui and the other two didn't want to hang around anymore. Now they just wanted to get things done, then quickly leave Fengshi Base and return to their own base, so that they could calm down their complicated emotions.
