Doomsday rat

Chapter 1090 Year after year

The New Year's Day in 2034 came quietly in the heavy snow. In a blink of an eye, 12 and a half years have passed since the outbreak of the zombie virus. During this time, human survivors tried their best to eliminate zombie monsters all over the world, and at the same time desperately continued civilization. And technology, so far the effect is obvious, but it is also very helpless.

The survivors have done fairly well in agriculture, energy, industry, and chemical industry. Most of them have achieved food self-sufficiency, some can obtain enough energy, some have simple mechanical manufacturing capabilities, and some can produce relatively elementary chemicals. .

But in other areas, such as heavy industry, radio, precision instruments, and high-end manufacturing, much has been lost. Even if some data are preserved, they still cannot be restored to the level of the old world, and the gap ranges from 100 to 200 years.

Specifically, in the past year, there have been joys and sorrows.Let me talk about congratulations first. First of all, the European survivor group successfully established the Continental Congress through several years of negotiations.Currently collectively cleaning up zombies in Denmark, northern Germany and Poland, progressing smoothly.

This parliament is equivalent to the European Union in the old world, but with greater power, it can dispatch various groups to act in unison.Although this clause is limited to actions against zombies, it can be regarded as a big step forward.

Compared with fighting alone, the unified dispatch and command is not only more powerful, but also can make planned choices for different regions according to the existing conditions, which greatly improves the efficiency.

At the same time, this model also provides relevant lessons for survivor groups on other continents, paving the way and setting an example for future large-scale cooperation.

If the actual effect can be sustained and positive, it will inevitably prompt survivor groups on other continents to follow suit. After all, the biggest threat at present is still from the zombie virus. If these monsters are not wiped out, no one can guarantee whether they will come again one day the end of the world.

This was followed by groups of survivors in Russia, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia who, after five years of hard work, partially restored the railways from Europe to Asia.It starts in Berlin, Germany, passes through Poland, Belarus, and Russia, and arrives in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan.

If the East Asian Union, the actual controller of Xinjiang Province, agrees, this railway can be extended to Alashankou or Korgos on the Sino-Kazakh border.Which node to choose depends on whether the local rail switching equipment can be repaired.

Europe uses a standard gauge of 1435 mm, Belarus, Russia, and Kazakhstan use a wide gauge of 1524, and China is also a standard gauge.

If you want a train to travel from Germany to China, you must undergo two operations of replacing the train chassis halfway.First change to a wide-gauge chassis at the border between Poland and Belarus, and then switch back to a standard-gauge chassis at the border between Kazakhstan and China.

Now the rail switching equipment on the border between Poland and Belarus has been repaired and successfully opened to traffic. In this regard, European and Russian survivors are willing to provide corresponding technologies and cooperate with Chinese survivors to connect the railway from Kazakhstan to China.

Why are they so keen on connecting the railways?Regarding this issue, Randy held several meetings in the government and listened to the opinions of all parties, but he still felt that it was not enough.So I remembered that there was still an old guy who was good at thinking about people's hearts hidden in the self-administered area, and he came here to learn from the scriptures in the name of inspection before the festival.

"Exchanging needs and helping each other, it seems to be a good thing at present, but I don't know in the long run." Hong Tao's answer is concise and clear, with a clear attitude and limited support!
The total number of survivors in Europe is currently less than 150,000, and with the addition of 200,000 people from Belarus, Russia, Ukraine and other countries, the total number is less than 35.But the number of known survivors in China is nearly [-], and the number in India is similar. This is a huge gap.

No matter what industry you want to develop, you must first have enough labor.If you want to clean up zombies on a large scale, you cannot do without the population base.Relying on natural breeding alone is obviously a bit long. If there is a railway track that can run through the Eurasian continent, it can make up for each other in terms of population.

For example, if Europeans want to clean up the areas in southern Germany, northern France, Switzerland, Austria, and the Czech Republic, and obtain more resources and equipment, but their own troops are limited, they can borrow tens of thousands of people from Asia in exchange for help.In the future, if Asia encounters the same problem, European troops can also come to reinforce it.

The other is the exchange of technology, equipment, and raw materials. Europe has talents, equipment, and technology, and Asia also has them.Fusion is the hotbed of creation, and exchanges between different cultures and races are likely to promote the speed of technological development.

As for using this railway to carry out raids or invasions, it is not impossible, but it is too small and too small to be ignored.

No matter how aggressive people are, they will not be so crazy.Regardless of the inexhaustible resources of one's own family, and at the risk of sacrificing a large number of people, they have traveled thousands of miles to pursue the same resources.Again, without enough benefits, no one would choose to take risks.

Of course, if we take a longer-term view, for example, after a hundred years of successfully eradicating the threat of the zombie virus, no one is sure whether the newly recovered human beings will once again raise the butcher knife against the same kind because of differences in habits, culture, and ideas.It's a pity that Hong Tao can't think so long-term, and he can only ignore things that he can't think clearly.

Finally, there is another joy that is only aimed at the East Asian Alliance. After more than three months of see-saw, the attitudes of the Southeast Alliance and the Southwest Alliance have finally changed substantially. They are willing to send special envoys to the capital base with Zhou Yuan to decide whether to stop the hostility Preliminary talks on relationship and cooperation.

"Why did they suddenly change their attitude?" Hong Tao was surprised when he heard Randy talk about it.

Zhou Yuan's eloquence and brains are definitely enough, but they are not enough to completely resolve years of grievances to the point where she can sit down and talk about the future with just one mouth.The most incredible thing is that not only the Southeast League changed its attitude, but even the Southwest League also let go.

If the Southeastern Alliance felt tremendous pressure from the East Asian Alliance because of the Xinyang Incident, the Southwest Alliance is still far away. Not only should it not change its attitude, but it should also increase its support for the Southeast Alliance and make a gesture of joint resistance.As the saying goes, if there is no normal state, there must be ghosts, and when things go wrong, there must be ghosts!

"Maybe it was inspired by the Continental European Parliament?" Randy didn't seem to know, so he could only guess.

"If you have nothing to do and want to grind your teeth, you can go to Jiao Qiao. I'm very busy and I don't have time to spare!" But Hong Tao didn't believe a word.

"Last month, a group of Laotian survivors fled into the Southwest Alliance area. Their base was captured by a group of zombies led by living corpses, and there were traces of zombie dogs. They didn't believe our reason for chasing and killing zombie dogs. Now I have to believe it. Negotiations are fake, but experience learning is real."

The trick didn't work, Randy shook his head and had to tell the truth.It turned out that the leadership of the Southwest League did not take the initiative to change their attitude, but was forced to show their favor and wanted to know more about zombie dogs.

"Let me say that the negotiations are not necessarily fake, and the experience must be true. Since the establishment of the Southwest League, we have never had in-depth exchanges with us. The conflicts are mainly caused by strangers. This is a good opportunity to understand each other. The league should tell the core ideas frankly , let them think about the decision.

It is up to man to plan and accomplish things. Don't have too deep prejudices because of the previous hostile behavior.On the issue of dealing with the zombie virus, it is best to put small groups and personal interests aside for the time being. "

Although he is no longer in the leadership position, Hong Tao is still very concerned about the development plan of the alliance. Before Randy asks, he confides his opinions and puts inoculations.

"You guessed it right again. Some people have already begun to oppose it before talking about it. The reason is very high-sounding. They think that the Southwest Alliance has caused us a lot of trouble on the issue of Xinjiang and provinces. If they want to make changes, they can only rely on words It is not convincing enough, and we must take the lead in making changes, such as giving up the entire territory of QH province."

Randy stared blankly at Hong Tao for a few seconds before expressing the alliance's high-level attitude towards this negotiation, which seemed to be somewhat dispirited.It is obviously a good thing, but there are people who want to oppose it, and there is nothing I can do.
