Chapter 289 The Burden of Survival
A thousand meters below the surface, there is a deep cave about the size of two basketball courts.
As the elevator descended, the searchlights arranged in the corners of the cave were turned on one by one, completely lighting up the underground space.
Surrounded by compacted soil and rock walls, directly opposite the freight elevator is the gate of the 027 shelter.
This is a fortress that cannot be attacked at all.
The only entrance and exit was blocked by a gear-shaped door panel with a thickness of 10 meters. The 8-meter-thick compressive alloy steel and the 2-meter-thick lead interlayer are even enough to resist a nuclear strike with a million tons of tnt equivalent within a few feet
Tian Feng walked to the door of the refuge, pressed his fingerprints, and opened the steel shell embedded in the door. Pulled out a data cable wrapped in soft lead material, and he inserted it into the EP on his wrist.
A door panel that cannot even pass through gamma rays naturally cannot pass through any electromagnetic waves. The information exchange between the shelter and the outside world relies on this data cable.
The EP screen flickered, and soon a woman's face appeared.
Although she is only a girl, the three stars on the neckline make it impossible to underestimate her ability.
Han Junhua, 24 years old, drinking water from pal, received 1 hour of ultraviolet radiation, and could only eat the stored nutritional mixture for three meals.
This means not being able to take a shower. Unable to be full, depressed, and in a sub-healthy state for half a year.
"In extraordinary times, nothing is impossible." Han Junhua said briefly, and then looked at Feng Hui, "Maintain the current power reduction measures. You go first."
"yes."
After hesitating for a moment, Feng Hui got up and walked out of the meeting room with the nuclear fusion core.
"You can't ignore public opinion." Wu Yaguo stared at Han Junhua, "I don't know what the damn procedure means. The old director organized everything in an orderly manner until you woke up, and everything changed."
Han Junhua remained indifferent to Wu Yaguo's accusation.
"You can't blame Xiaohua, she has done a good job." Academician Qin persuaded in a soothing tone, trying to keep Wu Yaguo calm.
"Very good." Wu Yaguo sneered, "It's only been three short years. Since you took over, everything has changed. First, the output of the farm was reduced, the supply of nutritional supplements and organic food was mixed, and then the water was supplied in batches.
And now the electricity curtailment measures are pure nonsense.”
"I'm just referring to the current materials at the base and making a choice that best suits the actual situation." Han Junhua's voice was very cold, without a trace of emotion.
"The most realistic situation I know is that the set period of this shelter is 50 years, which is calculated by the supercomputer. However, it is only a few years or less than 20 years, and the shelter is forced to open earlier. I don't know. I know what stupid things you, the leader, have done in the past three years." Wu Yaguo said angrily.
Waiting quietly for Wu Yaguo to vent his anger, Han Junhua spoke slowly.
"1000 people, 50 years of containment. Tell me, how many people are in the shelter now"
Wu Yaguo was at a loss for words, and his angry expression froze on his face.
"Let me tell you, there are 1,743 people in total."
Seeing that Wu Yaguo did not speak, Han Junhua continued.
"The first thing I did after waking up from the hibernation cabin was to check the work log of the previous shelter director. But guess what I saw"
"What"
"The first one, 2171. I couldn't refuse a mother's pleading and took the baby in her hands."
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Wu Yaguo said disapprovingly.
"That baby is the 1,001st person in the shelter."
"Could it be because of this baby that the 027 shelter was opened nearly 30 years earlier?" Wu Yaguo sneered. "Or, you really can't find an excuse, so you have to use that innocent baby as an excuse for your incompetence"
"This is just the beginning." Han Junhua said lightly, "2172. I held a wedding for a couple. I know it's wrong to do so, but I still wish them happiness from the bottom of my heart."
"There's nothing wrong with that at all. Don't you think, in these hopeless circumstances, a wedding is so inspiring."
"So, in the past 16 years, you have held more than 400 weddings, large and small." Han Junhua glanced at the four people at the conference table.
Tian Feng, who couldn't get in the conversation, stared at the ep in a daze, while Shi Yongtian was still trembling there. Wu Yaguo, who was not satisfied with Han Junhua's explanation, remained indifferent, while Academician Qin sighed lightly and lowered his head.
"There is no energy-saving plan. There is no family planning. Supercomputers can calculate energy consumption accurate to tens of floating-point digits, and can calculate a near-perfect population structure and growth curve, but they still cannot calculate your IQ."
In the end, that calm voice was finally tainted with a tinge of anger. Although the volume was not loud, it hurt the eardrums of everyone present.
Academician Qin opened his mouth, wanting to say something to ease the tense atmosphere on the conference table, but in the end he didn't say anything, just looked at Han Junhua quietly. Wu Yaguo blushed because of anger, but he couldn't find a reason to refute.
"Including my early awakening, I am very surprised." Han Junhua saw that no one answered. Then he said, "According to the plan, I should be released from dormancy after the shelter was closed for 25 years and take over as the director. But what did the old director do? He committed suicide in fear of crime"
"Old Zhang died of myocardial infarction." Wu Yaguo tried to refute. However, his tone of voice lacked the force he had before.
"Myocardial infarction is based on the medical conditions of the refuge. Do you think that a mere myocardial infarction died? Concealing the disease and giving up treatment is suicide." Looking directly into Wu Yaguo's eyes, Han Junhua said firmly.
Wu Yaguo's Adam's apple slipped, unable to speak a word.
"If it were you, what would you do?" Academician Qin suddenly said.
"In 2171, I will refuse to accept that baby. Before 2180, no newborn will be born. After 2180, according to the population growth curve analyzed by the supercomputer, the number of newborns will be strictly controlled." Han Junhua did not hesitate. said hesitantly.
"But do you know that what Director Zhang was facing was not only a baby, but also human nature." Academician Qin said softly, "I witnessed the tragedy that happened at the door that day with my own eyes. The people outside the door begged bitterly, hoping Xiao Zhang is lenient. According to the discipline, the refuge can only accommodate 1,000 people, and Xiao Zhang has indeed obeyed the discipline."
"He didn't." Han Junhua said.
Hearing what the little girl said, Academician Qin just smiled kindly, and then recalled.
"There were people kneeling, some insulting, some even tried to force their way in, I remember it was a small open gun. You can't imagine the scene at that time, a husband trying to take his son through the gate to meet his wife is Small open gun."
Wu Yaguo closed his eyes, as if he remembered something far away. Tian Feng was still staring at the shoelaces, but his expression was a little moved. He was on duty at the door that day.
However, Han Junhua was still indifferent, and just said lightly.
"Why can a group of people be rejected, but not a child"
"Perhaps it's because of human nature." Academician Qin said with a sigh.
"So, the stupid thing was committed from the very beginning." Han Junhua said.
"I haven't experienced it before. Everything that happened that day is just a paragraph of words to you. There is really nothing wrong with you having such thoughts." Regarding her indifference, Academician Qin just sighed and said understandingly.
"You woman, do you still have humanity?" Wu Yaguo said in disbelief.
Without looking at Wu Yaguo, Han Junhua said calmly.
"Human nature is just a burden to survival." To be continued.
