Wasteland Survival Code

Chapter 911 Nuclear Explosion

As soon as the voice of the main brain fell, an unspeakable strong shock came from outside the well. Although Qi Lin had added multiple protective measures around him, when the shock wave reached the safety well, he was still shocked for a moment. Lost consciousness.

Those who have never faced a nuclear explosion in person will never be able to appreciate the palpitating destructive power. After the light radiation and shock waves that destroy everything, the whole world is left with infinite silence.

Qi Lin can clearly feel that the temperature of the physiological maintenance fluid is rising rapidly. Even if the safety well has a thick heat insulation layer, it cannot insulate the large amount of heat attached to the light radiation—this position is far away from the nuclear explosion. The central area is too close, even if this is not a simple safety well, but a nuclear shelter that meets the standards of the alliance, if it is directly hit by a nuclear bomb, the people in the shelter will suffer extremely huge casualties .

In fact, only about two-thirds of the shelters that could survive until the end of the nuclear war, and one-third of them have been completely destroyed... Especially those shelters built underground in international metropolises, where It is the key target of hostile forces. Even if the shelter is built at a depth of 200 meters underground, the ground-penetrating bomb loaded with nuclear warheads can penetrate the thick rock formation and directly destroy the entire shelter.

The temperature of the physiological maintenance fluid is still rising, and a large number of cracks have appeared on the one-piece alloy steel frame used to support the safety well wall, and some parts have even deformed, which makes Qi Lin can't help but worry about the safety of the next second Will the well collapse directly, and then bury himself at the bottom of the well.

The safety well is 60 meters deep, and the geology of this area is solid rock. If he is really buried in it, even if he is a fifth-level evolutionary, it will not be easy to escape.

"The yield of this nuclear warhead is already considered small. The shock wave has passed, and you can leave the safety well now." As soon as the mastermind finished speaking, Qi Lin could not wait to float up towards the mouth of the well—for him, As long as he can avoid the most lethal light radiation and shock wave, the nuclear explosion will not pose any threat to him. Not only is there no threat, but Qi Lin can also gain a lot of benefits from the subsequent nuclear radiation.

The mouth of the well was sealed with a metal cover more than two meters thick. As soon as Qi Lin's hand touched the valve, he felt an astonishing heat coming from above.

Fortunately, the liquid in direct contact with the metal cover absorbed a lot of heat, otherwise the valve would probably have been burned red by the light radiation.

There was a slight deformation inside the valve, but fortunately it was not a precise machine, Qi Lin directly used brute force to unscrew it, but just when he wanted to push the cover to drill out of the safety well, the mastermind It was a sudden sound that stopped his movement.

"Wait... The first mastermind temporarily mobilized a monitoring satellite to check the surface of the explosion area. You will be found if you go out now."

There was no other way, Qi Lin could only continue to soak in the safety well filled with physiological maintenance fluid, until about 10 or [-] minutes later, the mastermind said to him: "Okay, you can go out now."

The well cover was lifted, and a large amount of high-temperature steam escaped from the safety well. After the steam had almost dissipated, Qi Lin poked his head out of the well——

"Is this the world of the strong?... Uh, wait, I seem to have said the wrong line..."

The surface seemed to have experienced a catastrophe, and some areas even appeared in a state of vitrification. As for the two scaly-skinned giant apes, they had already turned into two lumps of coke-like substances, and the wreckage torn apart by the shock wave was scattered well. Both are.

Looking up at the center of the nuclear explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rises from the ground, and the top of the mushroom cloud extends to the sky, connecting with the radiation cloud in the sky.

Qi Lin can feel that the radiation concentration in the surrounding environment has reached an outrageously high level at this moment, and a large number of charged discrete particles are constantly spreading to the surroundings...Nuclear radiation, this is the most embarrassing part of the nuclear bomb , the damage caused by optical radiation and shock waves is only a moment, and it takes decades or even hundreds of years for nuclear radiation to completely dissipate. For a period of time, this status quo will remain.

If Qi Lin remembers correctly, this should be the first strategic nuclear warhead detonated in the real world after a nuclear war... This reminded him of the familiar line——

"War, war never change..."

The nuclear winter has just passed, and human beings have not even successfully returned to the surface, and the shadow of war has once again covered this land that has been turned into wasteland.

Feelings, Qi Lin did not miss this opportunity, taking advantage of the time when the nuclear radiation in this area is the most intense, desperately driving the energy-gathering vortex, wantonly absorbing the radiation energy floating in the environment... Now the surrounding radiation The concentration is even more exaggerated than in the radiation pool built by the main brain before.

After all, this is the energy released through violent fission, which is naturally more violent than the relatively gentle method of the radiation pool. The high concentration of radiation in this area will continue for several days before it will be released. Slowly drop to the level of the general heavy radiation area.

Those existing heavily irradiated areas are basically produced in this way. Areas like Victoria Harbor, the capital city, and New York that have been hit by nuclear bombs are even larger in scope and last longer. to be longer.

If you want to purify this kind of radiation area, you need to consume a lot of manpower and material resources, and the progress is very slow. Even after humans return to the surface, it is estimated that there will be no organization that will do such a thankless thing—the entire surface of the earth now However, the area suitable for human survival is probably only one-tenth of what it was before the war, or even less.

"Now... Base Zero should be considered safe for the time being, right?" Qi Lin asked the mastermind as he stepped on the hot ground.

There was no response, and there was not even a current noise coming from the earphones—the high-intensity radiation directly turned the communication equipment on Qi Lin into a waste product.

"If you can't get in touch with the mastermind...it will be a bit troublesome..." Qi Lin looked at the communication equipment that couldn't even be turned on, and shook his head depressingly. To be honest, this kind of opportunity is very rare, and he really wants to Stay here to let the energy-gathering vortex suck it up. However, the external situation is changing rapidly at this time. The organization and the Revolutionary Union are still fighting fiercely in Jiange Fortress. If Qi Lin stays here, it will undoubtedly cut off all connections with the outside world. connect……

and many more!

Qi Lin suddenly thought of something. Not long ago, after the nuclear bomb exploded, the mastermind could still communicate with himself. The communication was not interrupted until he drilled out of the safety well. At first, Qi Lin thought that the communication equipment was ionized The reason is that it was destroyed by radiation, but if you think about it carefully, even if the communication equipment is not scrapped, then the radio signal cannot pass through this radiation area full of messy electromagnetic waves...

How did the mastermind keep in touch with him just now?

...safety well!

Qi Lin suddenly realized that there must be an emergency communication line installed in the safety well. The reliability of wired communication is much stronger than that of radio. In addition, the physiological maintenance fluid can block the interference of radiation on the well to the greatest extent. After the occurrence, the main brain can still communicate with itself.

Thinking of this, Qi Lin immediately ran back to the mouth of the safety well, and jumped into the well again.

Dive down to the bottom of the well, Qi Lin searched carefully along the well wall, and as expected, he found an inconspicuous hidden groove. After opening it, there was a signal transceiver with eight antennas and a set of waterproof cable communication equipment.

Qi Lin's radio was useless, and he couldn't receive the radio signal sent by the signal transceiver, so he could only pick up the set of wired communication equipment, and put the microphone to his ear——

"I thought you didn't notice that..."

As soon as the communication was started, the mastermind's familiar voice came from the other end of the microphone.

"...Indeed, I almost overlooked this point..." The physiological maintenance fluid will not choke Qi Lin, so he can speak underwater, but his voice has become very dull.

"I know that you plan to stay in the nuclear explosion zone and continue to absorb radiation energy. I have no objection to this. After all, you need to quickly improve your strength to complete the various tasks I will give you next. There are not many such opportunities."

"But what about Jiange Fortress?"

"The army of the Revolutionary Union has already approached the city, and all the fortifications outside the organization have been pulled out, leaving only one Jianmen Guanguanlou still struggling to support it. Although the organization has fallen into a great disadvantage in the situation, overall Said that the battle situation is still stable, with the existence of underground passages, the Jiange Fortress is not considered an isolated city, and the Revolutionary Union will not be able to attack it for a while." The mastermind told Qi Lin the latest news on the battlefield.

"That's good. If Jiange Fortress falls, it will be really powerless."

"According to my calculations, if the Revolutionary Union does not increase its troops and the organizational commanders do not give up voluntarily, the Jiange Fortress can last at least five days." The main brain analyzed.

"Five days..." Qi Lin naturally knew that these five days were the time for him to absorb energy. When the Jiange Fortress was about to fall, he definitely couldn't just stand by like this.

Once the Jiange Fortress is captured by the Revolutionary Union, the organization will fall into a situation of retreat in an instant. At that time, the organization will no longer have the ability to organize the implementation of the Utopia plan, without the organization to hold back the attention of the mastermind Without strength, Qi Lin's next actions will be even more difficult.

"By the way, is the new hiding place ready? If I make a move at that time, the mastermind will definitely know that No. [-] stronghold has not been destroyed. At that time, there is no way to deceive it." Qi Lin proposed This hiding place is not for his own consideration. If he is the only one, even if he spends the night in the wilderness every day, there will be no problem. But now that there is one more Persephone, then this issue needs to be carefully considered. up.

"Within five days, I will solve this problem as soon as possible. You don't have to worry." The mastermind said, "What you need to worry about is the surveillance satellite above your head."

"Surveillance satellite? Hasn't it already left?"

"The only thing that left was the satellite that temporarily changed its orbit. In addition, every day from 22:55 am to [-]:[-] am, from [-]:[-] noon to [-]:[-] am, and from [-]:[-] pm By [-]:[-], there will be monitoring satellites passing directly above this area. This area is different from No. [-] stronghold. There is no interference generating device for camouflage. The monitoring satellites can take pictures of the scene on the ground clearly. You'd better hide in the safety well before these time periods come, if it is captured by surveillance satellites, we will have to change our original plan."

"Understood." Qi Lin said, silently remembering all these time points in his heart.

"Also, if there is an emergency, I will directly activate the alarm in the safety well. You'd better not go too far into the safety well."

"Well." The so-called emergency naturally refers to the battlefield of the Jiange Fortress. After all... this is a real war, not a simulation program calculated by a computer. Accidents may happen at any time, even if the mastermind Suddenly told Qi Lin that Jiange Fortress was suddenly breached by Gelian, and Qi Lin would not be so surprised.

When the war has not reached the last moment, no one knows what will happen next.

……

……

The use of city walls for offensive and defensive warfare is very common in the era of cold weapons. In the era when the only long-range attack methods were trebuchets and bows and arrows, city walls can provide a great advantage for the defenders—whether it is the East or the West, in any military art, strategy According to relevant ancient books, in any battle where the two sides want to fight around the city wall, the overall strength of the attacking side must be much stronger than that of the defending side. Ratio to a very exaggerated figure.

This situation has spanned the entire era of cold weapons, including the period when hot weapons first appeared. It was not until the middle and late stages of World War II, when various powerful weapons were invented, that the role of city walls was greatly improved. Weakened...Until modern times, the existence of the city wall basically only remained as an ancient building, and it was basically no longer used as a fortification.

But the Jiange Fortress is different. The city wall of the fortress is not only composed of the city wall itself - various high-tech defense facilities such as close-in defense guns, giant energy shields, electromagnetic interference fields, and Phalanx defense systems have redefined the word "city wall". The meaning of the meaning, in the face of the organization's defense like an iron wall, the Revolutionary Union's offensive pace had to slow down——
