I give the world destruction and new life

Chapter 663 New Hope Chronicle

Christmas in 2057 is unforgettable for all survivors, because they witnessed the destruction of their own world, and human civilization opened a new chapter. They named this year New Hope Year One (NC-0).

The unprecedented large-scale three-dimensional nuclear explosion brought unprecedented sequelae.

The phased array nuclear explosion device is a complex system, which realizes the maximum energy utilization of existing human technology at the atomic level. According to speculation, it is very likely that human beings have completed a large-scale explosion of a five-phase bomb.

The shock wave formed by an explosion of this scale oscillated back and forth in the atmosphere, and even formed a semi-permanent cyclone similar to the surface of Jupiter in the Pacific Northwest, which looked like a less scary devil's eye from space.

The eye of this storm, named Furious, stirs most of the world, causing hurricanes of magnitude 350 or more to sweep across the entire temperate tropics for [-] days a year.

A storm of this scale has cut off almost all means of communication for humans. Even the hive thinking network between Mikkelsen and the clone can only take effect within a very short distance of no more than 100 meters.

After all, it was the eye of the storm called Rage, a storm tainted with flames of hatred, permeating the entire atmosphere.

Therefore, although Mikkelsen in the moon base has collected enough data, these data can only stay on the moon and cannot be transmitted back to the earth.

The communication between the shelters can only be communicated within a small area during the few days between major storms. Of course, this kind of information transmission usually happens among the 423 official shelters equipped with high-power signal transmitters between.

Refugees and refuges can only complete information transmission in an inefficient way such as 1~2, 2~3, 3~4. Sometimes, it takes half a year for a message to get a response.

Compared with information transmission, this kind of communication is more of a psychological comfort, letting the humans in the lonely castle know that they are not the only survivors in this world.

In addition, the explosion caused by Apocalypse Day permanently damaged the atmosphere.

Although due to the raging storm, the dust full of radiation did not form a dark cloud that could cover the entire world and cause a nuclear winter, but according to the observation results of the moon base, at least in the next ten years, the environment on the earth will not be suitable for human beings Survive.

In 2058, the year of A New Hope, NC-1, a total of 1 shelters worldwide survived the day of the apocalypse, and 2568 of these 2568 shelters did not see the year Christmas.

Either their main structure was damaged during Apocalypse Day, and there was a sealing problem, which caused the radiation dust to penetrate, killing the survivors inside quickly or slowly, or they were completely unprepared for long-term shelters. There was not enough food, fresh water, and air filters, which eventually led to tragedy.

Of course, there are very few shelters because of man-made disasters, uncontrolled superhumans, human psychosis may explode for various reasons, and eventually lead to the entire shelter being reduced to hell.

On the contrary, the players didn't bother humans anymore. After the apocalypse, only a very small number of shelters had players descending again, but most of them went offline in a hurry after they arrived.

Because of the severance of social relations caused by the Apocalypse Day, Vault 0, which has the strongest scientific research capabilities, did not get these data. Wu Qianying can only speculate that the most direct purpose of the Apocalypse Day was achieved. All the players who logged in that night died on the Apocalypse Day. .

The huge number of deaths has intimidated the player group. Even if the Supreme One doesn't care, this kind of thing will be fermented in the player group, and their player status will soon change from player to guinea pig.

No one wants to be a guinea pig, so at least in a short period of time, players are no longer a problem of human civilization. Mikkelsen and Tanguy's goal has been achieved.

It's just that Wu Qianying can see multiple Mikkelsen every day, but Tang Ji disappeared.

What is certain is that Tang Ji directly witnessed and encountered the whole process of the Apocalypse Day. Wu Qianying was not surprised by Tang Ji's choice at all.

Since Tang Ji knew the existence of the Gray Field Project, he insisted on using only the products of the Gray Field Project, because he felt that it was his responsibility to degrade human food.

Tang Ji couldn't make the choice that other people can only eat junk that tastes like jazz wax every day, but he chooses delicacies from mountains and seas. He would be very willing to kill such bastards, such as Mikkelsen.

So during this year, Wu Qianying decided to punish Mikkelsen instead of Tang Ji. She took Alia to cut Hu Mikkelsen's exquisite food at different times every day, and enjoy it by herself or share it with others.

Although it was just a harmless joke, it was indeed a necessary means of maintaining morale in Vault 0.

No one could stand being in the same room with Mikkelsen for long, not even himself. After all, Mikkelsen was inherently arrogant, and he demanded as much of himself as he did of others.

Mikkelsen's desire to control is too strong, and there is an essential gap between him and individual human beings. Many researchers in Vault 0 know that Mikkelsen can take anyone's life at any time, as long as he wants .

The human individual is too fragile for a superhuman like the Seven Deadly Sins, and even Annie, if not reined in, would accidentally kill her bedmate during sex.

And Mikkelsen will never be able to give people the sense of security that Tanguy has. You know that he can kill you with a breath, but you also know that he would rather hold his breath than do that unless you Just did enough evil to be on his list.

Therefore, as long as Wu Qianying can continue to snatch Mikkelsen's food arrogantly, those researchers with superior intelligence in Vault 0 will know that human beings are still under Tang Ji's protection.

On the other hand, Mikkelsen, even Wu Qianying couldn't see through the other party's smiling face, whether it was a mischievous smile at an "old friend", or she had hidden murderous intentions, so she could only bet her life on Tang Ji.

Wu Qianying firmly believes that Tang Ji will not just disappear for no apparent reason. Sooner or later, he will appear in front of the world again. After all, although the players will no longer come, it does not mean that they cannot come back, and the other people in the Seven Deadly Sins Still, he's not the kind of guy who would leave a shitty thing unresolved and leave.

He is not!
On Christmas in New Hope 2 (2059), a total of 2203 shelters celebrated this festival, regardless of whether they were poor or rich, since these survivors were still alive, they had to celebrate such a festival.

Moreover, this year, as most of the refuges have formed their own new order, the originally prohibited birth behaviors have also been released to a limited extent. The first batch of newborns came to the refuge after the apocalypse day. 3 people.

Correspondingly, in order not to increase the burden on the shelters, but also to maintain order and stability, 2 adults either voluntarily or were forced into a cryogenic hibernation state.

They are either experts in technology, academics, or art that are considered irreplaceable, or criminals who have broken the order of the shelter they live in and are not worthy of death.

In this year, another good news is that Wu Qianying successfully advanced to the LV0 stage in No. 3 Vault, a full three years later than she expected. There is no way, God knows how many accidents she has encountered in these three years.

In addition to continuing to strengthen her strengths, Dr. Wu Qianying obtained a brand new ability at the LV3 stage. When she closes her eyes, she can simulate all the substances she needs in her brain, and perform natural develop.

To put it simply, she no longer needs a physical laboratory, at least until she conducts non-preface and innovative experiments to explore the physical boundaries that humans have not mastered, she no longer needs a laboratory in the traditional sense.

When Dr. Wu needs to verify something or do an experiment, she only needs to close her eyes, and the best laboratory in the world is in her mind.

This has greatly improved Dr. Wu's versatility, especially in this shelter with limited research conditions. Even though No. 0 shelter has the most perfect scientific research conditions in the known world, it cannot be compared with the one before the apocalypse. compared to the civilized world.

Therefore, four months after being promoted to LV3, Dr. Wu Qianying improved the signal transmitter, allowing the No. 0 base and Amaravati to restore contact to a limited extent. The two sides passed the No. 0 shelter every night. , stable transmission of data not exceeding 2Gb.

With comparative data from extraterrestrial space, Wu Qianying can study the big storm in more detail, as well as various data about the eye of the violent storm.

But the world is still far away from returning to normal
In NC-8 (2065), Christmas, with the efforts of Dr. Wu, the brand new communication chain completed its first connection in each shelter.

Unfortunately, only 1022 signals responded to shelter 0. Even if those shelters with insufficient technical level, insufficient reserves, unable to build, or unwilling to build new communication facilities are excluded, this number is enough to be disappointing. up.

With seven of the 423 official numbered shelters out of contact, no one knows what happened to those seven shelters due to the threat of a major storm.

But the good news is that according to the data sent back from the Amaravati base, the wind in the eye of the violent storm is gradually weakening, and it is expected to disappear in the next five to 15 years.

The lingering storm has almost completely wiped out the traces of human existence, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the environment on the surface has changed.

Some people say that the eye of the violent storm can last for so many years because it is releasing the energy left over from the Day of Apocalypse that year. Others say that there is an apocalypse-level superhuman in the center of the eye of the storm that continues to supply energy, but at least before the dust settles, the people outside The world is still not suitable for most creatures to survive.

In NV-9, Wu Qianying chose to enter the dormant cabin to spend most of her time. Alia took over the work of Dr. Wu Qianying and became the smartest woman among all the waking human beings.

And Wu Qianying will only be awakened in the week around Christmas every year to check Alia's scientific research results, give advice, and wait for news about Tang Ji. In her words: "When I can't see him again, I become An old woman like a prophet!"

Also in this year, in the refuge of the Davis Mengshan military base, the child of Ethan and Miwako was born. The boy was named Constantine Guren. According to the neon naming method, the surname came first. .

Aliya, Soult and Vicky take up precious communication channels and send their blessings to Ethan and Miwako.

Anthony wrote an e-mail expressing his joy and regret that he still doesn't know which shelter Shadow Ender is in until today.

They also don't know if Kreps Cisse, the last member to join the team, is still alive.

No one mentioned Tang Ji, because they all believed that Tang Ji was still alive.

In the same year, Edward was sent to the medical room for the first time because of a heart attack in the Haywood shelter, and three heart stents were implanted.

The highest-level medical team in the shelter stated that if they want to eradicate this potential risk, it is best to replace the prosthetic heart, but considering the surgical conditions required to replace the evil prosthetic heart, they cannot guarantee a [-]% success rate of the operation. A more conservative surgical approach can be used.

Although Edward was discharged from the hospital in good health, Machete suffered from cerebral hemorrhage due to the stimulation of this incident. After all, he was a few years older than Edward, so he unfortunately failed to get off the operating table and died of NV-9. one year.

Because Machete's heir, Guswarta, was in another Valentino shelter on the outskirts of Night City, the Heywood Vault eventually elected a new one from several Valentino veterans. Vault Overseer.

But no one can be like Machete, detached like a gang member, even Edward must admit that Machete is a politically wise and visionary leader.

The successor has turned the entire Heywood Vault into a mess in just three months. It is transforming from a large Vault into a large slum. Machete uses his personal charm to force those street fighters who are unwilling to obey the rules to learn What are the rules, and now it's all falling apart.

In August of NC-9, Edward sent a message to Vault 8 through his personal relationship, indicating that Heywood Vault was in a state of substantive collapse. Digging his own grave within a month.

Edward did not send such a warning out of personal safety. On the contrary, he was thinking of the people in the entire shelter. Otherwise, when he was shot dead by some blind street fighter, I am afraid that the Heywood shelter would encounter unimaginable disaster.

Even if Tanguy is still missing, he has enough friends that admirers will do something irrational.

No one knows the future, or even what will happen tomorrow, but human beings must think about the future.
　I went to bed at eleven o'clock yesterday, and slept until eleven o'clock today, making up for a week's sleep
