Chapter 148 The Last Twenty-Four Hours
At 2 a.m. on January 1, 2020, according to the Gregorian calendar, two hours have passed since the human world entered a new year. When the sun rises, people will have a leisurely three-day New Year's Day holiday.
The Nanjing Command's action plan entered the final 24-hour countdown, and this will be the busiest New Year's Day in their lives.
"One group, two turns and four track changes completed, estimated time January 1 03:24 once through Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, 80° altitude, data distribution at Purple Mountain Communication Center, dual disaster recovery backup in Beijing and Guizhou, completed."
"Group Two reports that the three full-process simulation drills of the Xinjiekou wireless camera have been completed. The clarity and recognition are normal. Over."
"Group Three reports, the fifth batch of the sixth extraordinary scale simulated nuclear test has been completed. The damage range of thermal damage, blast wave, and electromagnetic pulse is within expectations. Over."
"Group Four reports that the third independent electromagnetic pulse damage test has been completed. It did not exceed the expected intensity and did not cause obvious damage to the radio station. Over."
"Three holes, two! Three holes, two!" Zhao Bowen was in the living room directing the operation, and urged on the phone, "When will your server be repaired?"
"You'll have to ask the Shenyang Municipal Government about this! We're also urging them to do so!"
"What does this have to do with Shenyang Municipal Government?" Zhao Bowen was stunned.
"They dug up the optical cable while repairing the road last night, and they are repairing it overnight."
Bai Yang sat motionless in the darkness, holding up his forehead in a daze. There was no light in the bedroom, and the command center was so busy that no one paid attention to him. This gave Bai Yang a rare moment of peace and quiet. He could not hear anyone's voice through the door, and he only felt that it was noisy and chaotic outside.
As the most core member of the project team, Bai Yang is out of the plan most of the time. He does not need to attend meetings all night, quarrel with others, or fly from Nanjing to Shanghai, from Shanghai to Beijing, and then from Beijing to Lanzhou in one day. There are no documents that need his approval, and no materials that need him to write. He just needs to sit at the table and sit there all the time.
Perhaps no one really believed how much responsibility a high school student could take on, or perhaps it was because his father Uncle Zhao and Uncle Wang protected him too well, Bai Yang was swept up in the torrent, stumbling from 2019 into 2020 - when other people of his age were watching the New Year's Eve party at Bilibili, he sat silently in the dark, in a daze for a long time.
Lian Qiao was concerned about his condition and asked him how he felt.
Bai Yang said that he felt the world was a complex, tangled, cold and slimy snake. It was so confusing that you couldn't make any sense of it. It rolled you forward madly, and wherever it rolled to was where you were.
Lian Qiao asked, what else?
Bai Yang said that he could no longer see the future of this plan. For an action with an unclear future, he didn't know where to get confidence... And Dad, Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao and everyone in the team, could they really see the future of this plan?
Lian Qiao shook her head and then hugged him tightly.
Bai Yang was stunned and a little confused.
I can't give you confidence.
Forsythia said.
I can only give you a hug.

It is 10:10 am on January 1, 2041, and the countdown to the nuclear bomb unlocking is expected to be 16 hours.
Get Down!
Banxia rolled on the ground, lay down with her back against the wall, put her hands behind her head, buried her head in her chest, closed her eyes and held her breath.
After a while, she got up and did it again.
Get Down!
Banxia is practicing self-protection during a nuclear explosion.
The expert group of China National Nuclear Corporation stated that she should have been at least five kilometers away when the nuclear explosion occurred. This distance was completely beyond Miss Qiu's killing range. Miss Qiu was just a nuclear bomb with a yield of 10,000 tons. It could only burn the asphalt road surface of Xinjiekou into glass. The girls staying in Nanjing Agricultural University or Nanjing University of Science and Technology could only watch the excitement (of course, don't really go and see it).
As long as you prepare a raincoat, a mask and goggles, Banxia will hardly be threatened if she stays upwind, and Miss Qiu can't hurt her at all. This is the optimistic attitude from professionals - the experts say it's no big deal, it's just going to be very bright and loud, and that nonchalant tone is as if they were setting off a big firecracker.
But non-professionals are scared to death when they hear the word "nuclear bomb". In the inherent concept of people like Lao Bai and Lao Wang, nuclear weapons are monsters that can destroy an entire city with just one explosion. Nuclear radiation will cause people in the city to suffer from severe radiation sickness and cancer. Under the strong request of the Nanjing Command, Banxia must complete self-protection training.
"Find a basement. Underground is the safest place. It's best to find a building with a higher structural strength. New houses with frame structures are basically required to be able to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake. Being able to withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake is completely sufficient."
"When a nuclear explosion occurs, you should lie down with your back to the explosion center. The blast wave is supersonic, and it will cause a huge pressure difference in a very short period of time, so your ears will hurt. Remember not to close your mouth tightly."
"Don't rush to show up after the explosion. Stay hidden for a few more hours."
"Don't go and see it out of curiosity. Although it is a rare spectacle that can only be seen once in a century, don't go and see it. It is really bright and hurts your eyes."
"Make sure you keep your eyes closed."

At 4:20 pm on January 1, 2020, the nuclear bomb is expected to be unlocked in 10 hours.
"Comrades, the third phase of the Dongfanghong Project has finally reached its final step. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts." Lao Zhao waved his fist at the camera, not knowing who he was talking to. "These days, everyone has worked tirelessly, worked together, persevered to the end, and overcome all difficulties. We are groping in the dark."
It looks like this is the final pre-war mobilization.
"Whether we succeed or fail, this will be a great day. It will be an unprecedented undertaking. Looking back at the 30,000 years of human history, there has never been such a plan or such an action that gathers the greatest wisdom of all mankind to save humanity at all costs."
"In the past thousands of years, those bright and shining stars in history were born for today. Why did those great people come to this world? Now we know that they came to the world to pass on knowledge, spirit and strength to us, and let us complete this great mission. No one fights alone."
"Comrades, everything is ready, success or failure depends on this one move."
Zhao Bowen raised his fist.
"We will execute the final step of the plan tonight. If everything goes well, we will eliminate the Swordsman within the next twenty-four hours!"
"We have survived and thrived on this planet for three million years. Now is the time to demonstrate the strength of our species. We firmly believe that nothing can defeat us."
"For all mankind."
"For the human!"

At 6:30 pm on January 1, 2020, there will be an 8-hour countdown before the nuclear bomb is expected to be unlocked.
"Take a deep breath." Lian Qiao said.
Bai Yang nodded and took a slow, deep breath.
"Sister Qiao."
"Um?"
"How do you think this story will end?"
Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment.
"Whose story are you referring to?"
"Ours, and hers," Bai Yang replied.
"I don't want to have only five years to live. No matter what the future holds, I'll just keep struggling. It's better to live a miserable life than to die." Lian Qiao smiled. "As for the eldest lady, what kind of person do you think she is?"
Bai Yang hesitated.
“Is she trying hard?”
Bai Yang nodded.
"Isn't she cute?"
Bai Yang nodded again.
"Then fate always favors hardworking and lovely people." Lian Qiao said, "If I were the god of fate, I would hold her in my arms and kiss her to my heart's content. How could I bear to hurt her? Everyone in the world died, and only she survived. The world's love and blessings for her are really enviable."
“Is living alone in the world a blessing?”
"Is it a curse? Is there anything more important than being alive? If being alive is also a curse, then I hope this curse can last for ten thousand years." Lian Qiao shrugged, looking a little weird.
Bai Yang also laughed.
"She will be happy, I promise you." Lian Qiao said, and then she scratched her head, "Although my promise is useless, I still have to promise that she will be happy."

At 8:40 pm on January 1, 2041, there will be a 6-hour countdown before the nuclear bomb is expected to be unlocked.
"BG, I'm ready and will leave right away."
"This is BG4MXH, received, good luck, OVER."
The final step of the third phase of the Dongfanghong Project has officially begun. The only chess piece of human society in the doomsday world has begun to move. She will be a killing move in the desperate situation. Everyone has high hopes for her. In Zhao Bowen’s most ideal plan, she will lead all mankind to complete the final shocking reversal and make a complete comeback.
