Chapter 136 The Ship Plan
It was raining heavily outside the yacht. They had never seen such heavy rain before. The rain curtain was so dense that it seriously affected their vision. When Chen Lei and his son found that the hill nearby was gone, they thought they didn't see it clearly.
"It's really gone." You Xi and Tang Yatong confirmed this.
The hill was not high to begin with. When they first came here, the highest point of the hill nearby was about five to six meters above the water. When they came here yesterday, it was still three to four meters.
Now, the highest slope is no longer visible. You can only see trees standing in the water from a distance. On some lower slopes, you can't even see the trunks of the trees, only the branches and leaves crossing the water.
It has been 25 or 26 days since the typhoon rainstorm hit Lushan Peninsula. Every time when everyone looked up at the sky, they felt that the sky seemed to have a leak, and it kept raining.
But the degree of that time could not be compared with now. Now the sky is really leaking.
"Come and take a look at the map." Tang Yatong took out a laptop, opened it and clicked on the topographic map of the entire Lushan Peninsula that had been downloaded before.
This is an altitude map, which will clearly mark the terrain and altitude of each area in different colors, and the map can also be viewed in three-dimensional mode, which can clearly enlarge the terrain of each area.
"So this is what the Lushan Peninsula is like."
She clicked on the computer a few times, and the plane map turned into a three-dimensional map. The ups and downs of the terrain looked clearer and more intuitive. "The entire Lushan Peninsula has many hills and basins. The coastal areas are generally low, but the east coast is the lowest. If you compare it to most areas of the peninsula, the eastern coast is actually a basin.
After the tsunami, in addition to another unclear reason, the basin terrain is also one of the reasons why the water has not receded. But because there are these hills on the west, the invasion of seawater is temporarily blocked. In addition, the land west of the hills is uniformly higher in altitude than the coastal areas, so after the heavy rain, The impact of the flood is not particularly large.
But now, the water level has already flooded the height of the hills - pay attention, the hill next to us is the highest among all the hills nearby, and now even it has been flooded - "
Chen Lei suddenly understood what the other party wanted to say: "The sea water has flooded all the hills nearby, so now the cities to the west of the hills have already..."
Tang Yatong nodded solemnly: "I'm afraid they are all flooded."
Although the terrain of the entire hill is ups and downs and can retain some water, the west side of the hill is a very obvious downward slope. As long as the water overflows this hill, it will eventually flow to the city on the west side.
At first, the water will disperse and divert, and people to the west of the hill may not feel the arrival of the flood at all.
But even the highest point of the hill was flooded, which means that the water on the east side of the hill has been continuously flowing back to the west. The rain will not stop, and the backflow will not stop...
She looked at the three-dimensional map in front of her, readjusted and input a few data, and a blue water line slowly rose from the original sea level position all the way up, and according to different terrains, it was blocked or stopped, or continued to move forward.
Finally, when the blue water line exceeded the eastern hills, the four cities, dozens of towns, and large tracts of farmland and roads on the west side of the hills were covered by the blue water line bit by bit.
Such an intuitive three-dimensional picture makes the viewer feel creepy.
There are countless people and buildings in those flooded and about to be flooded. There are their homes there. For them, the flood came overnight, and the disaster was imminent. They didn't know whether these towns had any advance warnings or whether they evacuated before the flood arrived. If
you think about it carefully, even if there were warnings, it would be almost impossible for all the people to evacuate safely before the flood hit.
So many people and families, young and old, are slow, and there will always be those who are reluctant to leave their homes and want to bring more luggage. Some people may even have family members who are in the hospital for treatment and cannot move.
When they received the evacuation notice, would they stay to accompany their families or run away for their lives?
In times of chaos, the roads will be blocked by cars and traffic will be blocked. How many people can make a quick decision at this time, abandon important property such as cars, leave most of the luggage that cannot be carried, and take their families on foot?
...
Such a scene, just imagining it, makes people feel cold physically and mentally.
Outside, the rain was still falling, as if it was going to submerge the entire Lushan Peninsula.
"What should we do now?" Chen Lei spoke after a while.
You Xi lowered her eyes.
They were now blocked in the east by the hills. In this case, even if she and Tang Yatong both had cars and could take them out in front of Chen Lei and his son, they would not be able to drive over the hills.
If they continued to drive the yacht forward, they would soon run aground.
The water and land were mixed together, and the uneven terrain of the hilly area made it impossible for the yacht to pass smoothly.
Even if they used rubber boats and yachts to interchange with each other, and barely passed the hilly area in front under the protection of Tang Yatong's weapon barrier, what would happen next?
How many people can their yacht take on board? Large areas of land have been flooded, four cities and dozens of towns, at least millions of people. At this stage, they are completely powerless.
They can only save themselves and race against the flood.
She hopes that most people can evacuate to the central highlands before their homes are flooded.
"We can't do anything now, but if the rain continues and the water level continues to rise, the entire Lushan Peninsula, except for the central area, may be flooded."
She actually doesn't know the specific details of the next step. She is not omniscient and omnipotent. She just came to this world to complete her personal mission so that she and her parents can survive.
In these apocalyptic worlds, the details of most disasters are unknown. She can't do things beyond her scope, and she doesn't know whether every decision she makes is correct.
Just like in the acid rain world, she once regretted not being vigilant enough when she was on the verge of death, but after returning to the original world alive and knowing the truth of the world, she was extremely scared again. She was glad that she took the risky step when faced with the choice, and did not become a coward who turned around and ran away when encountering a little change because she wanted to survive.
Who would have known that, by chance, she actually saved her life with the help of an alien civilization's spaceship.
She is certainly not a god, and this is not a game that can be saved and restarted. She can only do what she should and can do, and leave the rest to this world.
Youxi pulled Tang Yatong's computer and found another floor plan of the Lushan Peninsula. This is an electronic navigation map that has been downloaded before, which can be enlarged to every street and building in every city.
She entered a few words in the search box and clicked search. Soon the electronic navigation map kept zooming in and eventually showed several addresses of the place she was looking for.
Tang Yatong glanced and said, "Shipyard?"
Youxi nodded, "I have checked the information of shipyards before. Most of the cargo ports of Lushan Peninsula are on the southern coast. There are many ports and shipyards there. If the rain continues like this, we have to consider the problem of water. The yacht is too small. If we can have a large cargo ship, at least we won't be too passive in the water."
Moreover, the southern coast has never encountered a tsunami, and even typhoons, heavy rains and thunderstorms will not destroy all shipyards.
Tang Yatong did consider the problem of water, but because there are central highlands, her original idea was to go back to the highlands to build a refuge base. But now the seawater is backflowing, floods are ravaging large areas of land, and a large number of people are flocking to the central part for refuge.
When they return to the highlands, the situation there is expected to be very chaotic. If the initial shelter is built there, they will have to deal with many problems.
But if there is a huge ship, first of all, the management problem will be much simpler and clearer. Secondly, if the rain continues, it will be safer to have a giant ship.
So Tang Yatong actually thought of all this, but there is not enough space for a giant ship that can carry the number of people in a shelter, and it is very troublesome to move - even if the peninsula is flooded, it is impossible to drive a giant ship in the opposite direction to the inland of the peninsula.
When Tang Yatong thought of this, she suddenly realized something. She looked up at Youxi: "Can you--?"
Youxi had just finished the conversation with the Star House System in his mind.
Youxi: Tongbao, can I?
[…The transportation warehouse limits the quantity, not the volume.]
Youxi: So it is possible?
[Yes.]
Youxi: So, if I put a car on the giant ship, when I want to collect it, I can only collect the car or the giant ship, but if I put all kinds of supplies on the giant ship, they will be collected together with the supplies just like the yacht before?
[Yes, the cargo will be considered as part of the transportation by default.]
Youxi: ! !
**
Youxi and his party continued to stay near the hills for a day.
This day was mainly used to adjust and rest, while planning the route from the east coast to the south coast.
But from the perspective of Chen Lei and Chen Shengxin, it was a bit like a vacation. How to say it, if this is a game, it is like going from survival mode to vacation mode all of a sudden - or a yacht vacation.
Compared with the various foods and supplies that the yacht already had, they realized that what they had collected in the waters before was just a drop in the ocean. Even if the other party collected it, it would only be regarded as their payment for food and accommodation.
For breakfast, You Xi said that he was not particular and would just eat whatever he wanted.
Chen Lei thought it was casual: white porridge with steamed bread.
On the table: preserved egg and lean meat porridge, fresh meat dumplings, fried dough sticks, large wontons with dried shrimps, egg pancakes, tea eggs, fruit cucumbers...
Chen's father and son: ...
For lunch, You Zhenzhen wanted to eat noodles.
Chen Lei thought noodles: instant noodles with ham sausage.
On the table: Lanzhou beef ramen, seafood soup noodles, barbecued pork bone and tender bamboo shoot ramen, served with cold black fungus, hot and sour kelp, crispy roast duck, husband and wife lung slices...
Chen's father and son: ...
For dinner, Tang Yatong said that this was the last meal of the day off and she didn't want to cook, so they finally decided to have hot pot - a combination of spicy, tomato and bone soup.
Chen's father and son: ...
Chen Lei's family was originally a relatively wealthy family. They were not rich, but they were also a small wealthy family. Originally, he saw that his son liked the little girl from the You family, so
he thought that if he liked her, he liked her. As long as the little girl was willing and the other party's parents didn't object, that would be good. But now, he felt that he had to let his silly son sober up a little.
The next day, after a day of rest, everyone set out again, changing course from the east coast directly along the outer side of the hill to the southwest.
They originally thought that the yacht's route was a little difficult to grasp. After all, if they took the coastal route, they could not go too close to the open sea, which would easily get involved in the time loop area, nor could they go too close to the land, which would easily get stranded.
But when the yacht sailed from the east coast to the southeast coast, they realized that they still underestimated the power of disasters.
