Chapter 78 Joint Response
In order to deal with the common disaster of all mankind, the five permanent members of the Security Council held a UN video conference to discuss what methods can be used to avoid the extinction of mankind, because even if an asteroid hits the earth, the earth will not be destroyed, but more than 90% of the creatures on the earth may be extinct, and humans will be the first to bear the brunt.
The first plan proposed by Xiaguo was to build a spacecraft and then carry astronauts and nuclear bombs to bomb the asteroid, but it was unexpected that few countries agreed.
The reasons why the big countries disagreed were that the technology for building a spacecraft with such a long range was insufficient, the time was too late, and the countries were now torn apart by zombies. Even the United States, the largest country, had many states that only listened to orders but not announcements. Basically, each state was in a state of self-governance. In this regard, Xiaguo did the best and had the strongest ruling power.
Since the first plan was not passed, Xiaguo proposed a second plan, which is the nuclear bomb interception plan. When the asteroid approaches the earth's atmosphere, nuclear countries will launch nuclear bombs to intercept it. Even if the asteroid cannot be completely destroyed, it can be blown into pieces before it enters the earth.
In this way, humans at least have a chance to survive, although other major disasters cannot be avoided. ★
Meteorites hitting the earth will cause a series of disasters, such as a large number of volcanic eruptions, rising sea levels, melting ice and snow in the Arctic and Antarctic, and the salinity of seawater will become lighter. The most important thing is that the climate will become extremely abnormal, which is likely to cause the death of a large number of organisms.
There are also earthquakes caused by meteorites hitting the earth's oceans. There may be earthquakes of magnitude 12. The earthquake will trigger an unprecedented tsunami, and the coastal areas on the earth will be affected by the tsunami.
There are also volcanic eruptions caused by earthquakes. The large amount of dust they eject will fly into the atmosphere. A large amount of dust blocks the sunlight. The earth may not see the sunlight for hundreds of years. Without sunlight, plants cannot produce photosynthesis. Plants may die in large numbers, and the oxygen on the earth may be greatly reduced, which will lead to a series of adverse consequences.
Of course, some scientists have mentioned the problem that plants have mutated because of the zombie virus. Now they can basically absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen directly without photosynthesis. This can be regarded as a good contribution of the zombie virus to mankind.
Scientists also mentioned another problem, that is, if the temperature of the earth drops, the evolution of zombies may accelerate. It should be known that the zombie virus is more active in low temperature. It can be said that in addition to overcoming the harm of low temperature, humans will also have to guard against the threats from zombies and mutant beasts.
After hearing the report of scientists, the leaders of major countries have not responded. Some leaders of small countries that have not yet been destroyed are like the loss of their parents. Their countries have almost been destroyed after the tossing of zombies. Now they don’t know how to deal with the asteroid impact. The most important thing is that there are so many troubles after the impact. They feel that it will be difficult for their countries to survive this difficult time.
After several hours of meetings, the nuclear-armed countries reached a plan to intercept with nuclear bombs, and also to disclose the asteroid impact to all mankind, so that the survivors who are still alive will know about the crisis and prepare them.
After all, there are still many survivors who are not in the official base, and they must be informed of this news.
For other preparations, each country can only do its own work. As for the request of the leaders of small countries for the support of big countries, the big countries simply ignored it. What era is it now? Which country is capable of doing charity? Even the five permanent members of the Security Council are the same. It is good enough to be able to save their own country.
Not to mention how other countries prepare to deal with human crises, the only purpose of Xiaguo to deal with the crisis is to preserve the population of Xiaguo as much as possible, not just to preserve the elites of the country, but to preserve the people as much as possible. This can be said to be the only country in the world that puts ordinary people first, unlike other Western countries, which put the powerful first and save them at the greatest cost. As for ordinary people, many of them have been abandoned by them.
Xiaguo's plan is divided into several steps. The first step is to use various propaganda methods to inform the surviving people of the crisis of the asteroid impact on the earth, such as broadcasting, dropping leaflets from airplanes, and sending special forces to set up loop broadcasts in high-rise buildings in the city. As long as the means can be used, the Xiaguo government will use them. It can be said that it has cost a lot of money and made every effort to ensure that all survivors can receive the news and not give up on anyone.
The second step is to evacuate all survivors in coastal cities. Even if it is because of the zombie virus, coastal cities still have a population of more than 100 million. It can be said that this large-scale retreat is the largest retreat in human history. There are also zombie groups and mutant beasts along the way. The troops who are retreating together do their best to protect the people. I don't know how many soldiers have fallen along the way.
The people evacuated from the coastal areas are all placed in the official bases of the nearest inland provinces. For a time, the official bases in the inland were overcrowded, which brought various problems and made the management pressure of the bases very large. Of course, there are still benefits to having a large population, because the country's third step plan requires a lot of workers to build.
The third step of Xia State’s plan is to establish underground bases in every official base in various places. Survivors in towns and counties who do not have the conditions must be relocated to other cities, and those who have the conditions can establish their own underground bases.
The entire Xia country has become like a large construction site, and official bases in various places are under construction. Thanks to Xia's infrastructure mania, the infrastructure equipment in many large cities was very complete before the end of the world.
All major first- and second-tier cities have subway systems that extend in all directions. As long as the zombies in the subway are cleared, a complete protection system is established, and housing, canteens, plantations, underground factories, etc. are built to connect to the existing civil defense system in the city, it can be used as a complete underground base. Here we still have to thank the leaders of the last century for their foresight and for building a large number of anti-nuclear war bases during the Cold War.
Many provinces in the southwest have built a large number of national-level underground bases. The great leaders of the last century had a high-level vision and knew how to dig deep holes and store food. They have saved a large number of usable materials for the current Xia country. Now is the time to use that batch of materials.
Not only Xia has such conditions, but the two countries of Polar Bear and the United States also have many legacies left over from the Cold War, allowing them to calmly deal with the disaster of extinction.
It's just that the United States and the polar bear don't have the executive power of the Xia government. The local governments under them are equivalent to semi-independent states, and they can only lead a small area near their capital.
Of course, it's not without benefits. This way, the management pressure on their central government is much less. They only need to concentrate the survivors near the capital, and they can't care so much about other places.
Xia's several plans are implemented at the same time. The central government in Kyoto has begun to move to Shancheng City in the southwest province. There is the new capital of Xia. This is to be prepared for any eventuality. After all, Kyoto is too close to the sea. If the central government is completely destroyed due to a tsunami, it will become an international joke.
If the central government of Xia is gone, then there will be a big turmoil in the whole Xia country. After all, there is no shortage of ambitious people.
Gu Ming received the leaflets and broadcast notifications dropped by the national aircraft as soon as possible. His first reaction was that he had foresight and built an underground base.
