Chapter 289 The burden of survival

8days ago Celebrity fiction 13
One thousand meters below the surface, a cave about the size of a basketball court is buried deep.

As the elevator descends, the searchlights arranged in the corners of the cave are turned on one after another, completely lit up the underground space.

The surroundings are compacted soil and rock walls. Directly opposite the freight elevator is the gate of the 027 refuge.

This is a fortress that cannot be captured at all.

The only entrance and exit blocked a gear-shaped door panel that was 10 meters thick.

The 8-meter-thick compressed alloy steel and the 2-meter-thick lead interlayer are even enough to withstand the nuclear strike of millions of tons of TNT equivalents within a short distance!

Tian Feng walked to the gate of the shelter, pressed his fingerprint, and opened the steel shell embedded in the door panel.A data cable wrapped in soft lead material was drawn out and he inserted it into the EP on his wrist.

The door panel that even gamma rays cannot pass through will naturally not pass through any electromagnetic waves.The exchange of information between the shelter and the outside world depends entirely on this data cable.

The EP screen flashed, and a woman's face soon appeared.

Although she is just a female spoiler, the three stars at the neckline make people unable to underestimate her ability.

Tang Yan, 24 years old, pAC Army Colonel.He was lifted out of freezing three years ago and took over the post of director of the deceased 027 refuge in accordance with the procedures, and is currently the post of director.

What's the situation?

After a military salute, Tian Feng reported back in a deep voice.

The task has been completed.

Well, come in and talk.Nodding, Tang Yan signaled the staff to open the door to the shelter.

The gear-shaped door panel slowly moved away, revealing the narrow hole behind it.A suspended metal bridge is traction by the mechanical cantilever to form a path to the shelter.

Through the suspension bridge, twenty soldiers placed their rifles and ammunition on the weapon rack and walked into the disinfection room.The staff waiting beside him stepped forward and pushed the weapon rack and transported it to a special location for disinfection.

Without entering the disinfection room immediately, Tian Feng walked to Tang Yan and handed out the core of the nuclear fusion in his hand.

Blood?

It's blood.

After scanning the bullet marks on his bulletproof vest, Tang Yan said with a serious expression.

Is the war not over yet?

She subconsciously believed that he had been attacked by NATO soldiers on the surface.

Hearing this, it was rare that a weak and strong smile appeared on his firm face.

It's over, but you absolutely can't believe what I've seen outside.

Tang Yan glanced at the blood on the core fusion core again, as if she understood something.

Half an hour later, come to the conference room.

yes.

Tian Feng stood at attention and saluted the girl who was more than 20 years younger than him, watching her leave.

……

The lights were on in the conference room, but the atmosphere was a bit depressing.

When he pushed open the door of the conference room and saw four eyes sweeping over, Tian Feng swallowed, walked to the conference table with his teeth, pulled out a chair and sat down.

The director of the shelter, the representative of the resident Wu Yaguo, Qin Xuehai, the academician of the Pan-Asian Academy of Social Sciences, Feng Hui, the senior engineer of the shelter, and Shi Yongtian, who is still trembling.

On the conference table was the blood-filled core of the nuclear fusion.

Let’s briefly talk about what you saw outside, otherwise our topic would not be able to begin.Academician Qin, who was gray, smiled gently and said to Tian Feng.

Tian Feng looked at Tang Yan, saw her nodding, and then spoke.

This is how it is...

At the request of Academician Qin, Tian Feng briefly described everything he witnessed after leaving the shelter.

Including the nuclear winter and zombies on the surface, the strong firepower of the fishbone base and the indifference to the PAC regime, including the exchange of fire with those cannibals.

When Tian Feng finished giving all this, the conference table fell into silence again.

After a long time, Tang Yan, as the director, broke her silence.

Feng Hui, how long does this nuclear fusion core last enough?

Maintaining the existing power limit measures is enough to support half a year.Feng Hui gave a conservative estimate.

Existing power limit measures?Lasts for half a year?This is simply impossible!Wu Yaguo immediately expressed his protest.

All equipment in the shelter depends on electricity, whether it is the production of food or the operation of water purification devices.

Maintaining the existing power limit measures means that each person can only distribute 600ml of drinking water per day, receive 1 hour of ultraviolet radiation, and only eat reserved nutritional mixtures for three meals.

This means being unable to take a bath, being able to fill your stomach, being listless, and being in a sub-health state for the entire half of the year.

In extraordinary times, nothing is impossible.Tang Yan said briefly, then looked at Feng Hui, maintaining the existing power limit measures, you go first.

yes.

After hesitating for a moment, Feng Hui still stood up and walked out of the conference room with the core fusion core.

You can't ignore public opinion.Wu Yaguo stared at Tang Yan, I don’t know what this damn program meant.The old director takes care of everything in an orderly manner until you wake up and all this changes!

Tang Yan was indifferent to Wu Yaguo's accusations.

You can't blame Xiaohua, she has done a good job.Academician Qin persuaded in a gentle tone, trying to keep Wu Yaguo calm.

very good?Wu Yaguo sneered, It was only three years before everything changed since you succeeded.First, we will reduce farm output, mix nutritional mixtures with organic food, then supply water in batches, and then the current power limit measures?It's just nonsense!

I just refer to the current materials at the base and make the choice that is most in line with the actual situation.Tang Yan's voice was very cold and she couldn't hear any emotion.

What is most in line with the actual situation?All I know is that the set period of this refuge is 50 years!It is 50 years calculated by a supercomputer!But how many years have passed now?In less than 20 years, the shelter was forced to open early.I don't know what stupid things you, the leader, have done in the past three years.Wu Yaguo said angrily.

Waiting quietly for Wu Yaguo to vent the anger in his chest, Tang Yan spoke slowly.

1,000 people, sheltered for 50 years.Tell me, how many people are in the shelter now?

Wu Ya was speechless and her angry expression froze on her face.

I tell you, there are 1,743 people in total.

Seeing that Wu Yaguo didn't speak, Tang Yan continued.

The first thing I did after waking up from the dormant warehouse was to check the work log of the director of the shelter.But guess what I saw?

What?

Article 1, In 2171, I could not refuse a mother's plea and took the baby in her hand.

Is there anything wrong with this?Wu Yaguo said disapprovingly.

That baby is the 1001st person sheltered in the shelter.

Could it be that because of this baby, the 027 refuge has been open for nearly 30 years in advance?Wu Yaguo sneered, or do you really have to use the innocent baby as an excuse for your incompetence?

This is just the beginning.Tang Yan said lightly, In 2172, I held a wedding for a couple.I know this is wrong, but I still sincerely wish them happiness.

There is nothing wrong with this at all!Don't you think a wedding is so inspiring in this desperate environment.

So, in these 16 years, you have held more than 400 weddings of all sizes?Tang Yan scanned the four people at the conference table.

Tian Feng, who couldn't speak, stared at EP in a daze, while Shi Yongtian was still trembling.Wu Yaguo, who was not satisfied with Tang Yan's explanation, was still indifferent, while Academician Qin sighed and lowered his head.

No energy saving plan, no family planning.Supercomputers can calculate the energy consumption after being accurate to tens of bits of floating point, and can calculate the near-perfect population structure and growth curve, but they still cannot calculate your IQ!

In the end, the calm voice finally felt a hint of anger.Although the volume was not loud, it hurt everyone present's eardrums.

Academician Qin opened his mouth, trying to say something to ease the tense atmosphere at the conference table, but in the end he didn't say anything, just looked at Tang Yan quietly.

Wu Yaguo's face turned red because of his anger, but he could not find a reason to refute.

Including my early awakening, I was surprised.Seeing that no one answered, Tang Yan continued, "According to the plan, I should be lifted from hibernation after the shelter is closed for 25 years and take over the position of director."But what did that old director do?He actually committed suicide in fear of guilt!

Lao Zhang died of myocardial infarction.Wu Yaguo tried to retort, but his tone was gone without the strength of his previous strength.

Myocardial infarction?With the medical conditions of the shelter, do you think a person who died of myocardial infarction?Concealing the condition and giving up receiving treatment is suicide!Looking straight into Wu Yaguo's eyes, Tang Yan said tightly.

Wu Yaguo's Adam's apple slid, unable to say a word.

If it were you, what would you do?Academician Qin suddenly spoke.

In 2171, I would refuse to accept that baby.Before 2180, no newborns will be born.After 2180, according to the population growth curve analyzed by the supercalculator, the number of newborns will be strictly controlled.Tang Yan said without hesitation.

But do you know?At that time, Director Zhang was not only facing a baby, but also humanity.Academician Qin whispered, I witnessed the tragedy that happened at the door that day.The people outside the door begged, hoping that Xiao Zhang would open the door.According to discipline, the shelter can only accommodate one thousand people, and Xiao Zhang did abide by the discipline.

He didn't.Tang Yan said.

Hearing the little girl's words, Academician Qin just smiled kindly and recalled.

Some people kneel down, some insult them, and even some people try to force them into it. I remember it was Xiao Zhang's gun.You can't imagine the scene at the time, a husband trying to take his son through the door and meet with his wife...is a little opened gun.

Wu Yaguo closed his eyes, as if he remembered something very distant.Tian Feng was still staring at the shoelaces, but his expression was a little moved. He was on duty at the door that day.

However, Tang Yan was still indifferent and just said lightly.

Why can you reject a group of people but not a child?

Perhaps, this is because of human nature.Academician Qin sighed and said.

So, stupid things were committed from the beginning.Tang Yan said.

Haven't experienced it, everything that happened that day is just a passage for you.It is indeed understandable that you will have such an idea.Academician Qin just sighed and said with understanding when she was indifferent.

Do you still have humanity, you woman?Wu Yaguo said in disbelief.

Without looking at Wu Yaguo, Tang Yan said in a calm tone.

human nature?That's just a burden to survival.
