5. Zhen Country's Disaster
The moment the two water dragons came down.
News released at the Spring Festival Gala: All the troops along the 500-kilometer coastline along the middle and lower reaches of Nanjiang were mobilized. The first batch of helicopters were equipped with the highest power level alarms that could be used. They broadcasted warnings along the two banks of Nanjiang and the danger zones that might be flooded nearby, reminding the people in these areas of power failure to evacuate from the danger zones. They also pointed out the nearest safe zone to the fleeing crowd.
At the same time, the satellite navigation system began to alert people in the danger zone and provide the nearest safe area and route.
All the ground forces and armed police officers in the disaster area were divided into two parts. One part was used for the transfer of military and social high-value materials, and the other part rushed to the nearby danger zone at full speed to assist in the evacuation of personnel and maintain stability along the way. Unless necessary, do not enter the flood.(Due to speculation of a nuclear explosion, the water's radiation is extremely harmful. This is a military order to prevent unnecessary sacrifices, and the subsequent conflict that may be more serious does not allow them to make unnecessary sacrifices.)）
At the same time, a large group of top officials including the Zhen Country's Chief Consul arrived at the " Spring Festival Gala ". They stood in a row, and the head of the military said loudly,"
"A huge disaster has occurred in our country, and there might be a chain reaction of even greater disasters in the future. The country and its people need a strong army to protect them. Quan Zhen Country had entered a state of full-scale war. He hoped that all citizens would understand and support him during this special period.”
They bowed deeply and did not get up for a long time.
The four hosts who returned to the Spring Festival Gala also quietly bent their upper bodies and bowed together. Then, the people in the stands, the staff of the Spring Festival Gala... and finally, everyone bowed deeply and did not get up for a long time.
The people of Zhen Nation in front of the television, as well as many other Zhen Nation people in the world, were moved to tears at this moment.
Almost everyone knew that according to the statistics, there were more than 140 million people in the danger zone (one-tenth of the population of Jinzhen Country). More than 100 large, medium, and small cities, nearly 1,000 towns, and nearly 10,000 small villages would become deadly in two to three days because they were suspected to be affected by nuclear pollution. (Based on the simulation results of the largest disaster scale after the disaster).
At this moment, many staff members appeared backstage at the Spring Festival Gala. They replaced the "festive red" that represented the new festival with "solemn plain white".
The scene and the silent cries of all the people in front of the television, as well as the uncontrollable anger and cursing, became one. At this moment, the "Spring Festival Gala" became the closest link between the country and the people. Everyone was of one mind and shared the same grief.
The Grand Consul straightened his trembling body. He clenched his right fist and raised it high above his head. The huge screen in the background showed the raging flood. The scene also simulated the sound of the flood, making the entire scene deafening. However, he shouted in an even louder voice,"Those who offend the might of our dynasty will be killed even if they are far away.”
At this moment, all the people in the stadium and in front of the television seemed to be infected. They silently raised their fists and shouted together,"Those who offend the might of our dynasty will be killed even if they are far away. Those who violate the majesty of our dynasty will be killed even if they are far away. "Those who offend the heavenly might of our dynasty will be killed even if they are far away…" The voice lasted for a long time.
The screen on the television was updated with the situation of the various ruling departments in Quanzhen Country and the results of the disaster simulated by the supercomputer.
Zhenguo Time 00:17:00
" Announcement: The middle part of the dam has collapsed. The time of the dam collapse is 00:16:57 in Zhenguo time.
The damage was at Level Two, which was still a high level of damage.(There are a total of ten levels. The first level is the dam break caused by the flood in the entire basin that has not been seen in 10,000 years.) After testing, no nuclear radiation was found in the water body of the reservoir, but some of the water bodies had extremely dense toxic pollution components. The short-term harm exceeded the nuclear radiation, but the long-term harm was not enough. However, according to the stability of the chemical formula of the highly toxic substance, it would take five to eight years for the molecular formula to decompose, and the harm to the environment could be reduced to a normal safety value.”
The Grand Consul was also looking at the screen. Because of the delay in the announcement, he said angrily,"Turn on the country's most advanced supercomputer to run simulations. Enter all the latest statistics and start to build a comprehensive disaster simulation, compare it with the real disaster, and constantly correct the data. We must broadcast the most realistic results to the people of Quan Zhen Country and even the entire world.”
Back at the Spring Festival Gala, the world's largest display screen began to display the latest simulation situation according to the data recorded in the backstage.
(However, this kind of data entry still did not follow the requirements of the Supreme Consul. There was still a part of it hidden. After all, the overall harm of the disaster was too huge. If all of it was released, it would cause panic among the people of Quanzhen.)
According to the simulation results, the scale of the disaster caused by the dam breach was reduced by one-tenth. However, due to the detection of toxic substances, there were still 110 million people in the middle and lower reaches of Nanjiang in the extremely dangerous area. The overall danger of the disaster had increased by another level.
Almost everyone was watching in silence.
"Announcement, latest data from the Meteorology Department: Due to the impact of the extreme airflow from the big explosion and the shock of the cumulonimbus cloud layer, there will be strong thunderstorms, short-term gales, hail, tornadoes, and other strong turbulent weather near the dam on the upper reaches of Nanjiang River. It is estimated that the strong turbulent weather will mainly appear within a range of 100 kilometers from the dam. The area within the three-hour flow of the flood head will also be an extremely dangerous area in the next one to two days. With the continuous influence of the westerly belt, the rain belt will also move eastward at the same time. It would be even more difficult to evacuate the people in the danger zone.”
"Simultaneously migrating population data, displaying progress simulation…" a high-ranking leader shouted.
" Announcement: The latest information from the Ministry of the Ministry of
" Announcement: A suspicious ship has been discovered at the Longkou Reservoir of the North Branch River. When the local water management personnel boarded the ship for inspection, an explosion occurred. After investigation, the toxic substance on the ship has polluted a large area of the Longkou Reservoir. After monitoring, the molecular formula of the toxic substance is the same as the molecular formula of the toxic substance in the Jiasai Reservoir. In order to prevent the toxic substances from spreading and polluting the entire reservoir, affecting the safety of the water in the northern region, the local government and relevant administrative departments have already increased the amount of discharge water to discharge the contaminated water body..."
" Announcement: The four nuclear power plants along the Yangtze River have begun emergency disposal of nuclear combustion rods. One of them cannot be disposed of within the safety period…"
……
Yuan Huawei's back was facing the western sky, which had already turned a little dark red. He quietly looked at the river below the mountain. Three minutes had passed, and the wind had started to blow. This wind was not as cold as the winter night, but as time passed, it was even hotter than the summer heat.
Five minutes passed, and the west wind was already about seven or eight times stronger. Gradually, he heard a new roar, like ten thousand horses galloping, approaching from afar. He looked at the surface of the Nanjiang River quietly and suddenly found that the river had risen by seven or eight meters, and it was still rising rapidly. In less than a minute, it had risen by another twenty or thirty meters. The rapid and turbid water had already reached the houses in the village. A woman in her fifties or sixties cried when she saw this. He immediately rushed down the mountain as if his emotions had been stimulated. As he ran, he shouted,"My house, my money! My home…"
However, before she could run far, she fell on the slope and cried in extreme sorrow. Immediately, four or five middle-aged men came down and held her down. One of the men went up and slapped a woman a few times. As he hit her, he cursed. However, he could not hear anything because the wind and the waves were too loud. It was so loud that it was difficult to hear what the other party was saying.
The louder sound of water whistling drowned out all the other sounds. It was getting closer and closer. When they turned around and looked at the houses by the river, the water level had risen by nearly 100 meters. In an instant, it had reached 14 to 15 meters below their feet, and it was still rising rapidly.
Everyone was shocked again. They climbed dozens of meters up against the fierce west wind. When they were climbing to the top of the mountain, a white lightning suddenly struck the communication signal tower on the top of the mountain, followed by another one. In less than a minute, the signal tower was as terrifying as if it was covered with "white tentacles".
Accompanied by the deafening thunder, everyone was so scared that they lay on the ground and did not dare to move. Peng, an egg-sized hailstone fell on the arm of a middle-aged man and rolled in front of Yuan Huawei.
"It's hail. Everyone, quickly get under the big tree under the wind. Stay close to the big tree and don't run around.”
After Yuan Huawei finished speaking, he dragged his mother and ran to a tilted tree to stand against the wind. At the same time, he tried his best to repeat the words he had just shouted. Not long after, everyone found a place to stand properly. Immediately after, more and more egg-sized hailstones fell. Everyone began to cry out. Clearly, someone had been hit by the hailstones.
Three meters to Yuan Huawei's right, a fifty-year-old woman was protecting her one-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter. As the wind was too strong, part of her body was blown out and she was directly hit by the hailstones that fell with the wind. After the impact, the old woman tilted out of the protection of the tree trunk and was hit by more hailstones. In just a few seconds, she was about to die, but she used her last strength to protect her granddaughter even more tightly.
Yuan Huawei hurriedly took his mother's blanket and folded it three times over his head. He rushed out in the strong wind. The old woman was already on her last legs. The granddaughter in her arms was so scared that she kept crying. He quickly took two steps forward and picked up the little girl in his arms to protect her as he returned to his mother's side.
In this short period of time, dozens of hailstones had fallen on his head. Although he was protected by the blanket, he still felt pain. From the degree of pain, he felt that there were at least a dozen big bumps.
Two to three minutes later, the hailstones stopped. The ground was covered with a layer of hailstones of different sizes, and the ground could not be seen at all. The hailstones emitted a cold air, and the surrounding ground immediately became several times colder. After that, it began to rain heavily. It was hot rain, as hot and dense as the hot water in the winter shower. Accompanied by strong winds, it hit people's faces and bodies, but it still hurt.
The hot rain fell on the hailstones, forming a thick layer of white fog. It was like dry ice scattered on the stage, like a fairyland in mythology. No, it was not. This was hell. It was a hellish climate that had never been recorded in any weather records.
During the same period of time, within a radius of five to fifty kilometers around the dam, such a scene had almost always occurred, but the time difference was slightly different.
"Announcement, according to the latest weather data, a large-scale thunderstorm and hail occurred within five to fifty kilometers of the core area of the big explosion. The large-scale hail fell in high density for three to five minutes, and there was a large-scale hot rain. The highest temperature exceeded 60 degrees Celsius. In some places, the wind continued to be level 10, and the gusts were level 11 to 12. It is estimated that the rainfall in some areas will reach 300 to 960 millimeters in the next hour. The duration of the rain in the core area is still unpredictable."The cumulonimbus cloud layer is affected by the violent disturbance of the explosion and the weak cold air from the south. In the next three days, the entire middle and lower reaches of Nanjiang will continue to have moderate to heavy rain. Most of them will have heavy rain and extremely heavy rain, making it even more difficult for flood control, disaster relief, and evacuation of personnel…"
"Announcement, the water head has passed through the Ke dam. The highest water head has increased to 108 meters, the speed is 32 meters per second, and the flow has reached 3.5 million cubic meters per second. According to the simulation, the Ke dam has…has been completely flattened…"
"Announcement, according to the latest data from the Heaven and Earth navigation ground data center: One city, three counties, twenty-two towns, and 169 basic data stations have been lost. The situation is basically the same as the simulated flood…"
" Announcement, the military has sent the latest data. Due to the extreme weather, the helicopters and ground troops carrying out the search and rescue mission in the core area have suffered heavy losses. Almost all the helicopters have lost contact. Nearly 60% of the 50,000 ground troops have suffered casualties, 40% of which are fatalities and 10% are seriously injured. Not only have they not become part of the rescue force, but they have also increased the casualties. According to radar data, the weather conditions in the core area are unable to carry out flight and other external rescue missions..."
"Announcement. According to the data of the evacuation guidance center, there have been more than 10,000 serious accidents in the evacuation of the danger zone, including 95 major accidents. There were 1,800 major accidents (31 to 100 deaths), 4,000 medium-scale accidents (5 to 30 deaths), and 7,000 minor accidents, causing more than 400,000 deaths. Currently, 80% of the areas are still unmonitored. It is estimated that the death toll may have reached or exceeded 3 million…"
"Announcement…"
"Announcement…"
…………
Time continued! Every hour on the hour, a summary of the overall disaster statistics would be announced!
The country's consul left the live broadcast a few minutes after the initial oath and came to the special office that was set up in an emergency. He began to deal with " major events that would have been shocking at any time in the past."
On the big screen of the live broadcast site, the video images simulated according to the latest data showed the increasing area of pollution, the number of deaths, the newly discovered poisoning pollution of the water system, and the harm it affected...
This data was slowly striking every single person in Zhen Country, and even every single person in the world with a conscience!
Everyone knew that the Zhen Country had suddenly experienced a world-shocking disaster on the eve of the Spring Festival. This disaster was definitely man-made and a premeditated terrorist attack, because the result should have been achieved.
After experiencing such a disaster, the country's economy would definitely fall from its top position in the world. It would take many years to recover. Moreover, because of this disaster, it would definitely be involved in war and turmoil. If it was not handled well, it might even be directly divided into several independent countries.
This catastrophe was a test for the government and people of Zhen Country. It completely shattered the strength and confidence that they had built up over the past 100 years.
