Sea Monster Alliance

Chapter 26 Status Quo

On January 2012, 1, the end of the world came.

After a full fifteen days, the geomagnetic field was finally stabilized around the 24th, but the compass in people’s hands changed, and the direction pointed was completely reversed, and the impact of the reversal of the magnetic field of the earth’s poles was far more than that.

The current social civilization is based on electricity, and the magnetic field tends to be weak, which makes all high-decibel motor generators and all precision instruments and equipment unusable. After the permanent magnet material has experienced this catastrophe, its own properties It can be said that although a large number of human beings survived by chance, the civilization was paralyzed, and the social order also collapsed and became chaotic.

In the capital city B, the noisy and congested ring roads in the past were empty, only some plastic bags and broken garbage were blown wantonly by the wind. A team of soldiers in radiation protection suits pulled an old-fashioned wooden cart. Then go to the side of the dead green belt on the side of the road, and spray some light yellow water jets everywhere with a hand-held spray gun.

In fact, many people quietly lifted the heavy curtains of their homes to peep at the situation outside the windows.

No television, no Internet, no wireless or radio, no, no electricity at all, no telephone connection, even though hiding in the safest home, people are still afraid.In the past two or three days, the entire urban area has stabilized, and there are very few robbery and massacres that openly smashed doors, but the food and water at home are about to run out. Who doesn't care about the movements of the government and the army?

But they dare not go out, just look at those radiation protection suits.

Residents silently watching the soldiers come and go, sitting at home frowning, they are too accustomed to a life of advanced information, they can know many things without leaving their homes, but now, apart from what they see with their eyes and hear with their ears, what else? No, many people don't even know what's going on.

Citywide blackout?Why can't the mobile phone be used?Why can't the car start?The battery car was also scrapped, so I could only run on a skateboard and bicycle. As for why I ran, the reason was very simple. The car stopped slowly due to engine failure, and the traffic accident casualties caused were not too many, but the afternoon and evening of the 9th People who happen to be on the subway, train, or plane are unlucky. The fire caused by the derailment, explosion and fall makes every urban area terrible like hell.

It happened to be the peak time when people panicked and ran to the supermarket to buy things...

The fire engine couldn't move, and the high-pressure water jets couldn't be used. At that time, all the police officers were sent to rescue everywhere, and even the army was dispatched. Because of the panic, people began to smash and loot wildly.Too many people died. The fire continued to burn until the evening of the 10th. I realized that there was no way to put it out. The water plant was paralyzed and could not produce water. So in the end, I used bombs to demolish the buildings around the accident site and separated a long fire. belt, the fire was finally contained.

Those who are homeless and bereaved have no time to grieve, and even greater disasters have come.

One after another, people who died of high fever, exhaustion, or sudden skin ulceration were lying on the street.

The dead bodies that were not cleaned up at the previous disaster site were still buried under the ruins of the fire. This tragic scene made people utterly terrified. They either blocked the windows and doors of their homes and trembled, or they rode bicycles with Dabao and Xiaobao tried to leave this once prosperous city - but it was closer to death.

The people who are still alive are hiding at home, and of course they have never experienced such a horrible scene.

Therefore, not many people know about the news of supernatural beings. What they are more worried about is thinking about what kind of disaster this is. Why is the power and water at home still cut off for more than ten days? Looking at the movement of the army outside, the situation seems to be very serious. Serious, no matter how calm people are, they will mutter, is the end of the world coming?

For more than ten days, they waited bitterly, but they never saw the helicopters and trucks that symbolize rescue entering the urban area. Any foreign aid, isn't it a joke?

Anyone who isn't stupid has come to terrible conclusions.

It's not just city B that's like this, the whole country, no, the whole world is in chaos.

Of course they don't know, they are lucky, the whole city is still barely orderly, the government is intact, and the army is still there.But not all places and all countries are so lucky. Those who are already at war, or in a country where several parties in power share military power, no one has time to manage the life and death of civilians. After realizing that the crash was not a terrorist attack, No one can make a policy decision for a long time. Behind the different parties are the chaebols and families who support them. The interests are shared. In the end, there is no other way except to enter the underground fortification to prevent nuclear strikes.

The remaining wise and outstanding presidents or government leaders who try their best to keep their country’s elite talents and core secrets are empty talk. Traffic is paralyzed and information is cut off. The distance they can walk on their two legs is limited. They try their best to control the military. , put all their efforts into the almost chaotic situation, but there was no result. At most, it was like City B, barely maintaining the order of an area and a city.

Although there was no way to know the outside situation because of the cut off of communication, the governments of various countries realized that the disaster was global after waiting for three days. The only difference between them and the public was that they knew the cause anyway.

"Didn't the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field be a normal phenomenon of magnetic pole reversal? Why all of a sudden—"

In an underground base on the outskirts of City B, almost all the facilities are paralyzed, because only nuclear bomb attacks, meteorites hitting the earth, and major earthquakes are considered in the design, so various systems are equipped with solar or nuclear power generation. machine, but the indispensable permanent magnet material of the precision instrument itself makes all the well-equipped command operations and security systems useless.

Now even the ventilation system is made by the Academy of Sciences in ten days. The most mechanical wind-driven device is heavy and ineffective because it cannot use sophisticated electronic components. The air in the base is full of smoke and dust, which is very cloudy. People sitting around the long table All of them were clothed, their eyes were red, and they looked depressed.

The printing copier cannot be used, and the materials in front of everyone are all handwritten. In this way, ballpoint pens and gel pens will not be able to be produced in the future. The machine is still unusable, so you can only use a brush for writing in the future.

"Since 1900, the energy of the earth's magnetic field has been weakening, what did you do long ago!!"

An old man in a military uniform with gray hair slapped the table hard and panted heavily.

Now except for the simplest military items such as guns, grenades, and explosives, everything from missiles to tanks has become scrap iron, and the country's military power has gone backwards by 100 years overnight.Guns and ammunition can be manufactured by hand, but what about the mechanical equipment for pressing molds?The better the details of the gun, the more precise the parts. If it is all done by hand, even guns will be rare items in the army in the future. Is it necessary to return to the era of cold weapons?

"Old Zhao, calm down. This kind of thing is unexpected. The geomagnetic field has only lost 150% of its energy in the past 15.00 years. Who would have thought that in just a few days-" the old man sitting at the top Looking tired, "Everything has happened now, and it is meaningless to pursue mistakes. The first thing that must be done is how to keep the people alive, how to restore order, food, and clean drinking water. If we all give up hope, this This is the real end of the world, and the only thing that greets everyone is death!"

"From the perspective of the compass, the magnetic poles have been reversed. Judging from the radiation situation, the geomagnetic field should also be stable. According to theory, all mechanical facilities should be restored, but!"

"Okay, this theory has been overturned. The latest judgment of the Academy of Sciences is that the reversal of the geomagnetic field is just a normal activity of the earth. The reason for causing such great damage is because of the abuse of civilization and the use of permanent magnetic materials too widely. , ranging from aerospace instruments to mobile phones, it allows human civilization to develop rapidly, but it destroys everything overnight."

"Can't everything be restored? One year, no, ten years? Human beings can create generators, and they can completely create a second type according to the current laws of magnetic field and electric waves. Everything will develop and get better again!"

At this time, everyone in the conference room of the base was shocked, but someone sighed: "No, the astronomical radiation disappeared, but the electromagnetic radiation also came back after the geomagnetic field recovered. Although it is not fatal, the impact of the damage is huge. Yes, if the Academy of Sciences has not miscalculated, the entire earth is shrouded in a huge electromagnetic storm. If you are lucky, it will last for hundreds of years and gradually subside. It still exists!"

"Damn it!" General Zhao said angrily, "What is the source of electromagnetic radiation? As long as it is not the sun, we will destroy it!"

"...Before the end of the world, there was theoretical common sense that said, 'As long as the object itself has a temperature higher than absolute zero, it can emit electromagnetic radiation, and there is no object on the earth with a temperature equal to or lower than absolute zero'. So all the things around us Electromagnetic radiation is emitted every second, the table is, and so are the chairs!"

"Bastard!" Another person couldn't help but thumped the conference table.

"Also, the emergence of supernatural beings..."

This topic is obviously extremely heavy, and the atmosphere becomes weird all at once.

"Currently, in the absence of research conditions, there is no way to determine what caused the supernatural ability to occur. The only known conditions are people who survived the radiation in the open air. There is no commonality in age, gender, and physical health. Knowing whether it was astronomical radiation or electromagnetic radiation after a drastic change that caused their supernatural powers, only 17 people with supernatural powers were found in City B, and the strengths of their supernatural powers varied greatly. Twelve of them were from the military and the government. The members involved in the rescue, the whole country, not the whole world should have supernatural beings, they will be the biggest destroyer of order, and they may also be the greatest wealth of re-establishing civilization."

The breathing in the meeting room was a little short, but no one expressed any opinion on this point of view, so the topic finally turned to an important point.

"Before the disaster came, all the abnormal pictures of the Antarctic, the Atlantic Ocean, and the South China Sea captured by satellite surveillance..." "This is?!"

"That's right, sea monsters, something that Western countries have been tirelessly researching. For more than ten years, the video data that have been hard to come by except in the South China Sea are really worthless when the end of the world comes."

"Chairman, I don't think this is surprising. The sensitivity of animals is much higher than that of humans."

"Here is the problem. If they want to escape for their lives, they should hide in the deep sea. The Mariana Trench is their old nest! Isn't astronomical radiation and electromagnetic radiation on the surface a threat to them?"

"Also, the weather is abnormally hot. City B is not close to the sea. We must send people to the Bohai Sea area to watch the rising sea level. It is best not to have scary scenes like those in movies. Humans no longer have all high-end weapons. These sea monsters... "

Everyone was silent, wanting to smoke but hindered by the already poor ventilation conditions, suffering from the addiction to cigarettes and increasingly irritable emotions: "Don't we have any good news?"

The old man sitting at the top stopped rubbing his forehead after hearing this, and showed a familiar but helpless smile: "Yes, for example, we are still alive! The country still exists, and mankind still has hope..."
