Chen Xin did not stay in the three towns for a long time. He helped the
scientific researchers upgrade their equipment for the second time, and then
got a set of finished products to install on his car, and upgraded the radar
on the car to a signal base station. Leaving three towns.
However, because of the cooperation relationship with the country, he also has
a staff member sent by a scientific research institution in his car.
The main task of this staff member is to be responsible for the communication
and contact with Chen Xin, because in this situation, before the communication
network is re-established, it is very troublesome to contact Chen Xin from the
three towns, so they must Send someone to follow Chen Xin and know where he
is, then establish a stable communication channel through the local official
agency.
Moreover, after establishing cooperation with Chen Xin, the country also needs
to send equipment and materials that need to be upgraded to Chen Xin through
local official agencies, which also requires a thorough understanding of the
local transportation, communications, scientific research, and industrial
production capabilities.
If the foundation of the city where Chen Xin is located is too poor, you may
need to persuade Chen Xin to move or strengthen the local infrastructure.
These are all issues that need to be considered.
Therefore, in order to be able to better cooperate with Chen Xin, the
scientific research institution simply sent staff to follow Chen Xin to
conduct on-site inspections to find out the specific situation.
Chen Xin didn’t think there was anything in the car. After letting the other
person get in the car, Chen Xin didn’t care about him. All his attention at
this time was re-connected to the network, and the information obtained from
the Internet. attract.
Because the radar on the car has been upgraded to a signal base station, Chen
Xin has been able to access the network currently being used by scientific
research institutions, although this network currently only covers three towns
and places that can be physically connected to scientific research
institutions in the three towns. However, Chen Xin still obtained a lot of
information from the above through the authority granted to him by scientific
research institutions.
"Statistics of national population containment..." Chen Xin browsed the
information on this internal network through the console, and found a headline
that he cared very much about.
Chen Xin clearly remembered that the national population before the disaster
had reached 1.4 billion people, but in the three months before the meteorite
fell, the nationally announced evacuation plan estimated that it could
accommodate 1.2 billion people.
According to the information he read on this web page, before the meteorite
impact, only 80% of the population had been contained in the country.
This is a very cruel data.
Of the 1.4 billion people, fewer than 960 million successfully entered the
shelter before the disaster.
Nearly one-third of the population did not enter the shelter.
Perhaps these people were able to escape the first meteorite impact, but the
ensuing series of disasters, such as heavy rains, decreased atmospheric oxygen
levels, and extremely cold temperatures, were enough to kill any survivors who
did not enter the refuge.
The chance of them surviving is very slim, even if someone is still alive, it
can only be regarded as a lingering panic in the last days.
And what makes people feel heavy is that behind this statistics, there is also
a statistics on the mortality rate of the shelter population.
Because this is an internal network, the above data is also official internal
statistics, there is no false part, but this is even more uncomfortable.
According to the above statistics, in the first month of the meteorite impact,
the mortality rate of the population in the shelter was normal, about 3‰,
which is much lower than the normal mortality rate of 7‰. After all, they can
enter the shelter. Most of them are young adults who are in good health and
are not so easy to die.
However, with the passage of time, the mortality rate has increased
significantly. Three months after the meteorite impact, that is, after the
temperature drops to below zero, the mortality rate has clearly increased,
from 3‰ to 8‰.
This is not an unacceptable data. Generally speaking, in the harsh environment
of low temperature and severe cold, only this mortality rate is a relatively
normal value.
But if you consider that the birth rate of newborns is less than 1‰ and the
negative population growth exceeds 7‰, this is terrible.
And it should be noted that this is the national demographic data, and the
calculation is the total average.
However, the mortality rate in each province and region is extremely uneven!
In large cities such as Sanzhen, because of the good basic conditions and
sufficient material reserves, the actual population mortality rate has been
maintained at about 1 to 3‰, but before the disaster, they belonged to poor
areas, counties and cities with poor basic conditions, and populations. The
mortality rate exceeds 1%.
In fact, it is not uncommon for a whole county town like Chen Xin to be
abandoned and hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to other areas in the
country. Such large-scale population migration will obviously affect the
statistical results of the data.
Coupled with the error caused by the current communication difficulties, the
actual situation will only be worse.
In addition, Chen Xin also learned from the web page that the impact of the
tsunami caused by the meteorite impact and the impact of the subsequent global
fire have caused all the coastal areas of the country to disappear below sea
level.
The most severely affected area was along the Bohai Bay. The Beijing-Tianjin-
Hebei area where the capital was originally located was completely submerged
by sea water. The central government agencies have all been transferred to the
Sichuan Basin. As a municipality directly under the Central Government, Yushi
has once again become a temporary capital.
The North China Plain no longer exists because of its topography, and the
Northeast Plain has also been hit by the tsunami, and the entire middle and
lower reaches of the Yangtze River has become a country.
The four great plains of Yan country are now going to the third, and only the
Guanzhong plain is not swallowed by the sea.
According to the valuable observation data brought back by Zhang Chengguang
and the others, the coastline has advanced from the original Shanghai stock
market to the territory of Anhui Province, and the entire Jiangsu Province has
become an underwater world under the ice.
The famous Shandong peninsula can now be deleted, and it is a veritable
island, and the other parts of Shandong province are not much better. They are
also divided from the land and become an isolated island, which has to go all
the way to the west. Changshan can see the land.
Even in the northern Huaibei region of Chen Xin's hometown, Anhui Province,
more than half of it has disappeared below sea level.
However, the degree of impact in the south is not so severe because of the
mountainous relationship. Most of Guangdong and Fujian provinces are not
submerged by the sea because of the mountainous relationship. Even Zhejiang
Province, which is adjacent to Jiangsu Province, has retained more than half
of it. land.
However, most of the economically developed cities in these areas are close to
the sea, especially the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Because
of their proximity to the sea, they belong to the first batch of regions
destroyed by the tsunami.
It can be said that the most important grain-producing areas and economically
developed areas of Yan country disappeared in the tsunami impact caused by the
meteorite impact.
As for the subsequent melting of glaciers and rising sea levels caused by the
global fire, it was nothing more than freezing the land that had not had time
to ebb after the tsunami under the ice.
If you have a basic understanding of the geography and terrain of the Yan
country, you can clearly judge that the third ladder of the three major
ladders of the Yan country has only left the Liaodong hills, the Daxingan
Mountains, the Taihang Mountains, the Shandong hills and the Southeast hills.
, Other places no longer exist.
As for the first and second steps, which are less affected by the disaster,
the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Inner Mongolia Plateau are examples of
sparsely populated areas. Not to mention the Tarim Basin, which is a desolate
Gobi and desert, which can barely be called the essence. Only the Loess
Plateau, the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau are in the region.
The former first-tier cities, Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, were all
killed in battle, and now only three towns and Yushi remain in Yanguo’s super
cities.
If it were not for the country to evacuate the population from coastal areas
inland before the disaster, I am afraid that the country's loss of population
would not be one-third, but one-half.
Chen Xin now also understands why tens of thousands of people can move into
towns under a small county like his hometown, because the coastline has
extended to the territory of Anhui Province! A little further east from Anqing
is the sea!
Looking at these data and satellite pictures, Chen Xin's mood has become
heavy.
After the disaster strikes, although the life is far worse than before the
disaster, Chen Xin's life is not bad because of the systematic relationship,
and the situation in the city where he is located is not unbearably bad, which
is unavoidable for Chen Xin. An illusion is that the situation is not too bad.
Especially after he went to Hubei Province and saw the country in the three
towns undergoing post-disaster reconstruction in full swing, he even felt that
this apocalyptic disaster was actually nothing, the difficulties were only
temporary and everything would be better.
But now, looking at one-tenth of the country’s land sinking under the seabed,
one of the three people’s population had disappeared when the disaster struck,
and all the economically developed coastal areas were destroyed by the
tsunami, and it became clear to Chen Xin. I feel that this apocalyptic
disaster is truly the end of the world.

In fact, even the city where Chen Xin is located, due to its proximity to
Dongting Lake, also experienced seawater intrusion when the tsunami arrived.
The area of the entire lake area has expanded to the extent of Yunmengze in
ancient legends.
If it weren't for the city where Chen Xin was located, it had a higher hilly
landform, I am afraid it would have become a piece of Zeguo at the moment like
the Poyang Lake area in the next door of Gan Province.
This made Chen Xin couldn't help but sigh that the civilization that mankind
took thousands of years to establish ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ is like a castle on
the beach in the face of apocalyptic natural disasters, the waves are easily
destroyed as soon as they come.
For Yan Guo, most of the economic construction achievements made in the past
few decades have been wiped out in this disaster, and everything seems to have
gone backwards for decades.
This can't help but create a worry, can we really overcome the immediate
difficulties and rebuild our home in this disaster?
Chen Xin thought about it seriously, but did not despair.
For the people of Yan Country, we have experienced too much suffering since
ancient times, but we have never been overthrown by disasters.
When the sky is broken, I refine stones to make up for it; when the flood
comes, I don’t ask the prophets, I dig the rivers and canals myself; the
disease is prevalent, and I don’t ask for miracles, I try medicine and heal
myself; if I drown in the East China Sea, I fill the East China Sea and get
caught by the sun Those who are exposed to the sun will shoot down the sun; in
the face of disasters, there are always people from Yan country who will never
retreat.
Just like the words spoken by the elders before the flood, the people of Yan
country are invincible! We will be able to overcome all suffering and rebuild
our homeland!
