The End of the Earth

The huge tremors frightened the survivors hiding in the temporary shelters. For the people in the Azure World, this kind of attack that made the earth tremble was even more frightening than the forbidden divine techniques circulating on the Azure Continent.

They had also heard about things called nuclear weapons from their friends on Earth. They had only read about forbidden divine techniques in books, and they did not believe the terrifying and exaggerated power of nuclear weapons that the humans on Earth talked about.

And now they only have one thought, nuclear weapons were used?

The creatures on Earth are really crazy. This is the first thought of all people in the blue world who can think of nuclear weapons.

Even people from other worlds could guess it, and the natives like Xiang San certainly guessed it too, that a nuclear strike was the disaster the elders were talking about.

You know, just yesterday, everyone thought the disaster might be a biological virus attack launched by evil life on all survivors.

"The underground space collapsed and we can't get out. What should we do next?"

Callista brought the patrol report.

“We’re not allowed to go out even if we can.”

Some people could understand what Aman said, but for others who didn't understand, she explained the reasons without waiting for them to ask.

"After a nuclear bomb explodes, nuclear dust will be scattered, causing radioactive burns to living things. It will definitely be fatal to humans on Earth. Even for you elves, I don't recommend you go out and take risks. Besides, whether you can go out now is also a problem."

Xiang San looked at An Man, who was hesitant to speak, and asked, "Any more bad news?"

Everyone looked at Anman. At this moment, she looked like a sage in everyone's eyes, her profound knowledge attracting attention.

Amman took a deep breath and said, "Early nuclear radiation is the neutron flux and gamma rays emitted in the first few tens of seconds of a nuclear explosion.

After the explosion of an atomic bomb with an equivalent of 20,000 tons, people within 1100 meters of the explosion center can suffer extreme casualties. After the explosion of a 1000-ton neutron bomb, people in this range will die within a few weeks, and people within 200 meters will die immediately.

The electric field strength of an electromagnetic pulse can reach 1 to 10 volts within a range of several thousand meters, which can not only seriously damage the components of electronic equipment, but also break down insulation, burn circuits, erase computer memory, and cause all radio command, control and communication equipment to fail.

That is to say, if we are not in the center of the nuclear explosion point, then even if we are at the edge, the radioactive contamination in the contaminated area is enough to cause us to die painfully.

The nuclear radiation should last for more than a few months, possibly even years or decades."

Xiang San was shocked when he heard this. Nuclear radiation lasting for more than several months?

"Can our supplies last that long?"

Calista carefully recalled the temporary collection and previous reserves and said, "Actually, we elves can go without food for a long time. In your words, our metabolism is very slow. Our main consumers are our fellow humans in the Azure World and our friends on Earth.

现在临时避难所有637人，153名人类、261名精灵、111名湛蓝人族、85名矮人。

There's still enough food to last for half a year, so water is the main issue now. Even if everyone reduces their intake, the stored water can only last about two months."

"item?"

Xiang San came to his senses and found that everyone was looking at him.

"Shui, I'll find a solution. Since we've all come together, I need everyone to nominate capable individuals to take charge of order, supplies, population, and construction.

Although we are few in number, the system is even more important. It will make our goals clearer and our actions faster, and we will not be a loose group. In today's period when various disasters may break out at any time, unity is extremely important.

Calista, Aman, come with me. The rest of us can now start discussing and nominate managers with strong abilities in all aspects.

In the future, any issues related to these matters within the shelter should be addressed directly to the relevant managers."

After the three left, the crowd began to talk.

"Ms. Anman, do you know so much about nuclear bombs?"

Xiang San was amazed.

"It's nothing. On a smaller scale, a nuclear bomb is just a set of formulas left behind by our ancestors. You can find anything smaller online. It's just that I'm more familiar with it."

Xiang San gestured with his hands and said excitedly, "Are you saying you can make a nuclear bomb?"

Anman rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's one thing to understand the principle, but without complex high-end equipment and excellent researchers, you can only dream about it.

In theory, yes, I can.”

Xiang San pushed Calista's shoulder and said proudly: "Did you hear that? I, a woman, can create a big Ivan!"

Calista asked confusedly, "What is Big Ivan?"

Xiang San was speechless.

The three of them came to a temporary storage area on the third underground floor. It was originally the storage point for construction materials in the underground parking lot. Before the nuclear explosion, all the construction materials were used to block the gates leading to the ground, so this place became their material storage depot.

"We still need to make some changes here. Some food can't get wet. As for the water issue, Kalista, do you know how to use water magic?"

Kalista shook her head and replied, “We elves only use summoning magic, and a few can use mind magic.

As for water magic, my brothers and sisters in the human race should be able to use it. I'll find it for you later."

Xiang San also knew that there was no time to rush, so he turned to Anman and asked, "Aren't we collecting dozens of chemical protective suits right now? With your ability and knowledge, can you modify them into chemical protective suits with radiation resistance?"

Anman frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, but it requires some materials. External protection against contamination is simple, and lead can also provide radiation protection, but all our metal materials are used to block the gates. Now we have no lead available, and the amount of other alternative materials is too small.

Air quality is also something we need to consider.”

Well, questions come one after another.

........................

"Greetings, officers! I'm the construction manager elected by everyone in Pierce. I hope I can be of assistance to everyone!"

His voice was sonorous and powerful, neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked a bit like a soldier.

"Have you ever been a soldier?"

Pierce's eyes were bright and he said with full energy, "Yes, sir! I am a second lieutenant of the Zambian Defense Force reporting to you."

The Zambian National Defense Force? Xiang San knew about this country. It was originally a friendly country that helped China build military and economic strength, and was known as the East African Liberation Army.

"Since you've been chosen as the construction manager, you should have solutions for structural issues. We need to repair the collapsed basement and retrieve some building materials. Find someone knowledgeable in this area to help you come up with a plan. I believe the people of the Azure World should have their own expertise, and their magic might even be able to help you."

"Yes, sir!"

Afterwards, managers of various functions were elected one after another.

The order manager is mainly responsible for maintaining the security system, arming the shelter and other security-related aspects.

Materials managers are primarily responsible for the distribution of food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

Population managers are primarily responsible for coordination and stability, including registration, communication, interaction, and reproduction among people in temporary shelters.

Construction managers are primarily responsible for the repair, addition, or leak repair of shelters and other project-related facility safety issues.

As for why such a system should be established, maintaining stability is one of the purposes. World-class disasters will cause great emotional problems for people, making them full of doubts and even losing their minds. The establishment of a complete system may help to respond and curb them in a timely manner.

Long-term development is also one of the reasons. They cannot stay at home forever. At some point, when the time permits, they must go out and understand the situation outside.

There is also the issue of supplies. The food, clothing and other daily necessities stored in the temporary shelter are not very abundant.

In the first few days after the nuclear explosion, everyone in the shelter was gloomy. They were like rats hiding in a cave, and the cave entrance collapsed, preventing them from getting out.

"I don't know what's happening to the people in the surrounding area."

"Yeah, my cousin is still at the temporary headquarters in Jia City. They should all be hiding in Shelter No. 3, right?"

Two dwarves and three logistics personnel who moved to Area C from Jia City talked about their friends and relatives in the command center. Not everyone is willing to come to Area C to live an ordinary life.

Regarding Xiang San's establishment of a system to restrain them, some people initially had some different opinions, but gradually they figured out the reason.

Compared to Xiang San's establishment of a system to restrain everyone, in fact, they also hope to be restrained in their hearts, because they know that this is a disaster period, and people's emotions are easily on the verge of collapse in such an environment. Now that the system is gradually beginning to improve, they can also use it to control the restlessness in their hearts.

After all, everyone's freedom has been lost, and there is no need for anyone to restrict it.

What managers like Xiang San do is nothing more than protecting the collective interests. This kind of system will only be supported and not stopped.

It is precisely because of everyone's support that various matters are progressing very quickly.

The obstacles leading to the underground passage on the first floor have been successfully blasted at a targeted location, and the strong human race of the Azure World is being organized and mobilized to clear it. The dwarves have advanced manufacturing technology and have used alchemy to create many time-saving and labor-saving transportation tools. The Azure people use the method of engraving wind speed to increase the transportation speed. With the speed of the joint operation of multiple races, it is estimated that the underground passage on the first floor can be cleared in one day.

The engraving ability of the Azure Human Race is one of Xiang San's interests in learning. The members of the Azure Human Race are very puzzled about his learning of the engraving art. You know, the creatures on Earth cannot use the abilities of their world. From the perspective of Earth science, this is a biological characteristic and is unique.

But in fact, everyone was shocked, because he not only learned the art of engraving, but also dabbled in the alchemy of the elves and dwarves and had already learned how to use it in a basic way.

"magic?"

Anman was watching in amazement as Xiang San used alchemy to transform irregular scrap metal bars into neat cubes of gold.

She picked up the heavy nugget and asked, "Is this real gold?"

Xiang San nodded: "Yes for now."

Amman was puzzled and looked at the gold carefully.

Xiang San looked at the hands of the old-fashioned clock on the desk and said, "In another 10 minutes, it will return to its original material. This is alchemy."

Anman asked curiously, "Then it's useless."

Xiang San rubbed his temples. This was also what worried him. Otherwise, he could help a lot by turning stones into gold.

"That's not right. Maybe you can try another method."

Xiang San turned his gaze to Anman and looked at her.

Anman sat down at the table and pointed at the piece of gold. He asked, "If you use alchemy to transform this piece of gold into other metals, will it return to normal?"

Xiang San shook his head and said, "I've asked this question before, but it's useless. Alchemy has gods from the azure world..."

Xiang San suddenly thought of the God's Contract that the dwarf mentioned, but this is Earth! Where did the God come from?

"I understand, right? There may be some restrictions in the Azure World, but they are now on Earth. We should put aside the old theories and start exploring magical powers again."

"You are really my good wife, come here and let me kiss you."

Anman dodged the complaint with disdain: "You haven't taken a shower in a few days."

“This is not about saving water.”

Xiang San smelled it and found himself speechless. Although water resources were in short supply, the newly built water circulation equipment could avoid large-scale water consumption.

The water circulation system, air circulation system, and various magical corresponding equipment have been used to complete the transformation of some facilities. The temporary shelter is vigorously improving its internal facilities.

There are a large number of electrical storage devices in the shelter, which is one of the benefits of turning military technology into civilian use. It may be too expensive for ordinary people, but it is the best equipment for the construction of large public facilities.

Combined with the experimental observations of human electric magic, the instruments modified using some bracelets can perfectly adjust the output of electric magic, and the energy storage cluster network also has a source of power input.

Small inventions like these were slowly brewing within the temporary shelter, magical products combined with Earth technology.

More durable and more efficient.
