4. Global Live Broadcast
One minute before the New Spring Festival began in Zhenguo time, in a small mountain village by the river more than ten kilometers downstream of the dam, Yuan Huawei, who had just turned 21, was playing the most popular large-scale online game in front of his computer. He wore a headset and heard a game teammate shouting in the headset," The terrorists said that they want to attack Zhenguo. They are playing the video."
"F * ck, you're crazy. Have you watched too many blockbusters?”Yuan Huawei laughed as he cursed.
" It's true. There are terrorists broadcasting live. There's a water surface on the screen. No, it's a dam…"
The other party was not angry at being scolded. Instead, he spoke even more excitedly.
Yuan Huawei chuckled and said,"Is it a dam?"”
"Ah?" It really looked like a dam. F * ck, there were two groups of eight submarines underwater. No, why did it look like a big oil tank? Hurry up and crash into it, the oil tank will explode…"
" Huawei, it's almost midnight. Get ready to fire the spring cannon." Yuan Huawei's mother had just finished shouting when the lights, television, and computer in the room went out. The surroundings were pitch black. "There's a blackout during the festival. Can't we celebrate the festival properly? How many years has it been since the electricity has been cut off? How strange! As she said that, she got out of bed to look for a lamp.
Yuan Huawei was dumbfounded. This…this was too much of a coincidence! He took out his phone and was about to call his friend. However, he saw that there was no internet or signal. No, there shouldn't be no signal even if there was a power outage! Something big must have happened. That…That can't be true, right?
"Mom, run quickly, run to the top of the mountain.”Yuan Huawei shouted as he pulled his mother, who had just gotten out of bed, with a terrified expression.
His mother was shocked and said," It's so cold outside. Why are you still on the top of the mountain?”
He didn't have the time to answer. He pulled a blanket from the bed and pulled his mother up the mountain behind the house.
As soon as he left the courtyard, he felt the ground shaking violently. The sky in the west was getting brighter and brighter. Yuan Huawei was even more horrified." It can't be a nuclear bomb, right?!" And it's…eight!"
He ran even faster with his mother. At this moment, a few people from the small mountain village came out to see what was going on. When they saw Yuan Huawei and his mother running, they were about to ask when they heard Yuan Huawei shouting as he ran," Run! Go up the mountain from the east slope! Go up the mountain from the east slope…"
Yuan Huawei was the only university student in the village who attended Zhenguo's First University. Moreover, the township head had personally sent a car to protect and escort the university student to study at the First University. He was also the most knowledgeable person in the village. He was the pride of this small village, and even the entire town!
His shout caused a huge commotion. Everyone imitated him and ran back home, pulling their blankets and running out to shout together. In the end, they followed him to the small path up the mountain on the east side of the village.
Just as he led everyone to the east slope, they heard a loud noise coming from the west. They quickly listened. In less than three minutes, a huge wave of air rushed over and blew most of them down.
Everyone ran up the mountain in horror. At this time, the sky was getting brighter and brighter until it was several times brighter than the daytime. Yuan Huawei climbed halfway up the mountain and stopped about 100 meters from the roof of his house. He stopped everyone from continuing to climb and told everyone not to be illuminated by the white light, let alone look.
Everyone looked at each other. In the end, they all looked at Yuan Huawei. Yuan Huawei looked at the eastern half of the " daytime " and then looked at Nanjiang in front of him. He did not say a word, but his body started to tremble.
As Zhen Country celebrated the Spring Festival, the space station in space would arrive at the time meridian of Zhen Country's capital at 00:00 due to the adjustment of its flight trajectory. The space station was also located directly above Zhen Country's capital, Qian City. It was prepared to celebrate the Spring Festival in an unprecedented way and congratulate Zhen Country for not surpassing America in terms of overall economy and strength, except for the per capital level.
As the new year approached, on the space station, the vast territory of Zhen Country was outside the transparent glass. The capital of Zhen Country, Qian City, was right in the center. At this moment, the three astronauts on the spacecraft were preparing to pay their respects to the people of Qian City and Quanzhen Country. More than half of the families in Quanzhen Country would receive the new year's blessings from space through television programs.
The command center system on the space station was playing the countdown for the live broadcast." Three, two, one, start ": The three of them gathered together, faced a small live camera, and began to recite the lines that they had practiced dozens or even hundreds of times: "At this moment, 365 kilometers above the capital Qian City, we wish our great motherland a happy New Year. Prosperity, prosperity, and a strong nation…Quick, look at the sky above Bobei Province. What's happening there!”
One of the astronauts saw a flash of white light in the thick clouds above Bobei Province before he could finish his lines. It was getting brighter and brighter. He finally couldn't help but shout.
At the venue of the Spring Festival Gala, several hosts were stunned on the stage. Other than the areas where the power went out instantly, at least half of the families in Quanzhen Country were also silent at the moment, waiting for the people on the television to say something.
However, a considerable number of people couldn't wait for the results today because the sudden nationwide blackout began to occur on a large scale. Soon, it affected nearly 80% of the population of Quanzhen Country. Even after emergency treatment, nearly half of the population of Quanzhen Country was still without power an hour later.
Fifteen seconds after the New Rejuvenation Festival.
At this moment, a rolling text appeared below the television screen: The Zhenguo Earthquake Bureau had just detected a magnitude 6.8 earthquake. The epicenter was located near the Jiasai Dam in Changsheng City, Bobei Province, with a focal depth of 0 - 0.1 kilometers.
Six seconds after the explosion, the energy vibration of the explosion was automatically detected by the Zhen Nation Earthquake Network and recorded. At the same time, a news message was automatically sent to the television station, including ZGTV1: Our station has just detected a magnitude 6.8 earthquake. The epicenter is located near the Bobei Jiasai Dam, with a focal depth of 0 - 0.1 kilometers.
Everyone finally got the results they had been waiting for. Some of them didn't even need the host to announce it as they immediately understood that this wasn't a real " earthquake." Those who had common knowledge about earthquakes immediately knew that this was a nuclear explosion. They realized that something terrifying was about to happen, but they didn't know how serious it would be.
Near the dam? The Jiasai dam was the most important dam in Nanjiang because its downstream affected the safety of nearly 200 million people. This dam had suffered a terrorist attack, and the scale had already reached 6.8. One did not need to think to know the seriousness of the matter. This was because a while ago, the neighboring country's 50,000-ton TNT underground nuclear weapon test only produced a magnitude 6.5 earthquake.
While the video of the terrorist attack was being broadcast live, an urgent report was sent to the Prime Minister and other national leaders.
The Grand Consul only glanced at the report before he slammed the table in front of him."Investigate, we must find out what happened and activate the level one combat alert.”
Secretary: " According to the latest intelligence, the intelligence personnel from the National Security Bureau and the Ministry of Defense just reported that one minute before the explosion, two of the terrorists from Anhao Nation announced on the terrorist organization's website that they would attack Zhen Nation. They also broadcasted the beginning video of the attack on the dam. More than 90% of the people commented that there were eight nuclear bombs when they saw the video.”
"Nuclear bombs, eight of them…Quickly broadcast to the people of Quanzhen Country, this is a special emergency alert.”The Grand Consul trembled and roared angrily.
Therefore, the sirens were immediately sounded at the festive Spring Festival Gala." Attention, all citizens. The dam is suspected to have been hit by eight nuclear bombs. The special alert has been activated. All citizens around the dam and the middle and lower reaches of Nanjiang River are requested to take precautions. Please leave Nanjiang's coast as soon as possible and seek refuge in higher ground.
"Attention all citizens, the dam is suspected to have been hit by eight nuclear bombs. The special alert has been activated. All citizens around the dam and the middle and lower reaches of Nanjiang River are requested to take precautions. Please leave the Nanjiang River as soon as possible and seek refuge at higher altitudes…"
After five minutes of the broadcast, the party began to play the simulation animation of the dam's largest breach and the time of the disaster, reminding the affected areas and safe areas on both sides of Nanjiang River.
The people of Zhen Nation in front of their televisions recovered from their shock, especially those in the middle and lower reaches of Nanjiang River that had not been affected by the blackout. People frantically fled south or north. The worst was the city. Along the way, people stepped on people, people bumped into people, cars bumped into cars, and cars bumped into people... They rushed in both directions regardless of everything.
The Zhen Country's army and armed police quickly moved out to maintain order, but there was little effect. The panicked crowd had already lost control, and the people of Zhen Country had never faced such a situation before.
Sandwiched dam protection force
After the explosion, most of the troops who had not been affected by the explosion were in chaos. The backup broadcast immediately sounded." Attention all personnel: Get into position immediately. A new war has begun. We must ensure the final safety of the dam. Attention all personnel: Get into position immediately. A new war has begun. We must ensure the final safety of the dam.……”
The quality of the soldiers was still very effective. In five minutes and twenty-one seconds, almost all the soldiers on duty returned to their positions. (Except for the lost troops near the dam).
At the same time, a mandatory warning message was continuously sent to all the ships in the reservoir in dozens of ways: "All ships anchor near the shore, personnel disembark quickly, do not approach the dam, those who approach will be smashed to pieces. All ships dock nearby and drop their anchors. All personnel disembark quickly. Do not approach the dam. Those who approach will be smashed into pieces…"
A water monitor found something unusual. Two 10,000-ton fleets are rushing towards the dam at high speed."
"Quick, eliminate the target, eliminate the target.”Almost all the officers said in unison.
Three minutes after the big explosion, the two 10,000-ton fleets that had just survived the huge wave had only four ships left. The other eight ships had already sunk. This fleet turned around the last mountain corner bay in front of the dam and immediately readjusted its direction to increase its speed to the maximum. It rushed straight to the dam with the speed of the water current, making the final death charge.
Twenty-four missiles and hundreds of high-explosive rockets landed on the two fleets. The two fleets turned into pieces, but there were still dozens of large ship blocks and hundreds of containers that were not broken. They slowly approached the dam and were quickly sucked into the water hole in front of the dam by the rotating water current.
After a few minutes, several larger holes appeared on the dam. The water level of the reservoir suddenly became a bigger funnel shape. The water level dropped by a few meters, and the water flow became faster. Hundreds of ship fragments that sank in the waiting area of the boat circle during the big explosion began to rush into the funnel vortex.
Another round of attacks turned all the sunken hull pieces into pieces, but it still could not stop the water hole from growing bigger until the dam completely disintegrated from the middle.
Sixteen minutes and fifty-seven seconds after the start of the New Rejuvenation Festival, the dam broke in the middle.
The 102-meter head of water rushed downstream at a speed of about 33 meters per second, and the instantaneous flow reached 3 million cubic meters per second.
Within 20 minutes, most of Chang Sheng City had disappeared, and less than 10% of the city's population of nearly a million remained.
In 35 minutes and 57 seconds, the water head directly overflowed the Ke dam. At this moment, the water head (the height difference of a 1-kilometer long water peak) was about 108 meters, and the flow rate was 3.5 million cubic meters per second. The Ke dam was basically flattened.
The disaster continued, and the Spring Festival Gala also continued to be broadcast live. That night, almost all the people of Zhen Country were watching the night, either fleeing or praying silently!
The simulated video and the live broadcast of the disaster appeared on the first television station in Zhen Country at the same time, and it was broadcast by almost all the television stations in the world!
All kinds of urgent policies that Zhen Country needed to issue to the people of Quanzhen Country were also broadcasted live through this Spring Festival Gala. This Spring Festival Gala had become the first place for Quanzhen people to understand the disaster scene and release the information of the commander-in-chief.
At 00:30 PM after the New Spring Festival began, more than 500 million people in the country watched this "historic" scene through live television or online broadcast. At the same time, about one-third of the world's people watched this "most shocking Spring Festival Gala".
This Spring Festival Gala became the "Spring Festival Gala" for the world to understand Zhen Country.
This wasn't just the Spring Festival Gala of the Zhen Nation, but also the Spring Festival Gala of almost all the people in the world who were awake.
It could even be said that it was the first Spring Festival party for human civilization.
The unforgettable disastrous live broadcast of the news returned to the Spring Festival Gala.
Note 1: After nearly 100 years of development, Zhen Country's economic strength and trade ability had basically surpassed America's and stood at the top of the world. Its military strength, world influence, and scientific and technological level could also be on par with America's. It had become one of the world-class superpowers recognized by the world. As Zhen Country's land region continued to maintain its economic and various aspects of expansion, the pride of Zhen Country's people was bursting. He began to proudly call 'Emperor Jian' as 'Brother Jian'. For the first time, he no longer felt inferior. (Of course, due to the huge population base of Zhen Country, the total economic output was pulled down by a few ranks per person.)
