Heaven counts man as the end of the human raceChapter 96 Destruction and Courage Hearing Fang Senyan's explanation, President Wilson sighed in disappointment, looking like he was several years old out of thin air, and then sat down on the cold iron chair next to him tiredly, pressing his temples hard with his fingers Because the airship is floating after all, so it avoids accidentally hurting people when it is dangerous to shake violently, these furniture are fixed, so it is not very comfortable.
Looking at this venerable president, Zi couldn't help but feel a little emotional, obviously, compared with the father and son presidents Bush, Zippergate Clinton, Watergate Nixon, and other predecessors, Wilson's peer really looks like a saint.
Zi pulled Sally, the president's female assistant, to the side, and it didn't take long for Sally to bring a basin of hot water and go to the cooking room in the back to get busy.
Soon, the hot towel, the sticky warm cocoa, and a large sandwich re-injected new energy into President Wilson, it stands to reason that under psychological and physical pressure, the president was very tired at this time, but he still had to insist on taking a look at the lives of the rest of the people on the giant airship before he was willing to rest, in order to show respect, Fang Senyan and his party also accompanied him.
It must be said here that Fang Senyan and their previous preparations were quite sufficient, and at this time, the staff on the airship were distributing a series of necessary supplies to everyone, in an orderly manner, including a number plate, a set of toiletries, and a gray blanket that was a little thick and prickly, but large enough and thick enough.
In this way, even those who have just boarded the boat have lost all their possessions, but at least they have a safe place to lie down and rest, and a bed that may not be too comfortable but can be kept warm.
In addition, because the people saved exceeded previous expectations, some people could only lay on the floor in the corridor.
Many people after seeing Fang Senyan and the president.
They were all so excited that they burst into tears.
There were even people who struggled to crawl in front of them and kiss their insteps.
It can be seen how much the prestige of the president and Fang Senyan has reached among the survivors at this time.
After accompanying the President on a tour of two giant airships, President Wilson maintained a critical eye.
In the end, he nodded approvingly.
At this time, because it was a special period, everyone was asked not to go out of the cabin and move around at will, and dinner was distributed in a special dining car.
Only those with number plates are allowed to eat, and the food truck is topped by two huge aluminum barrels.
As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, President Wilson was naturally very concerned and walked over to check the situation, and found that the first aluminum bucket was all compressed into a boxy high-density biscuit, which each person could get a piece the size of a cigarette box, and the bite would almost knock out the teeth, and the biscuits in an aluminum bucket could supply at least a dozen cabins.
In the second aluminum bucket is a very hot soup mixed with chopped carrots.
Plenty of butter, meat floss, corn kernels.
Toiletries were distributed to everyone.
Among them are military kettles and large lunch boxes, and everyone can get a full box.
President Wilson also asked for a dinner and ate it with the people.
By the way, listen to their voices and opinions, as far as the president is concerned, this dinner must not be a taste or anything like that, but the high-density compressed biscuits are soaked in the thick soup and eaten, it can be said that the portion is full, enough for an adult to eat full, and there is a lot of butter in the soup, although it seems very greasy, but it is still very helpful for restoring energy and resisting the cold, and it can be seen that the organizers have put a lot of thought into it.
During the meal, there were also some discordant voices, that is, some people were not used to eating such simple food, so they threw it away despite the signs prohibiting the waste of food.
This behavior attracted the attention of the security personnel, and the number plate that punished the person who threw out the food was quickly taken away and returned after thirty-six hours, which meant that he would face the embarrassing situation of starving for at least four meals.
Overall, President Wilson was very satisfied with the current orderly order of the entire airship formation, and at the same time, the general control room transmitted an emergency signal: a large tsunami was coming, and in order to cope with the next bad weather, the airship would climb with all its might, and forcibly close all exits to the outside world.
At the same time, warnings are constantly being sent in the form of broadcasts throughout the airship formation: We hope that all passengers will stay in their cabins and not go out, and that they will hold on to something solid, and that passengers who are confident in their bodies may go to the porthole near to say their final goodbyes to our great, beautiful, spectacular, magnificent Washington.
The tide in the distance was vast and turbulent, piled up in the sky like dense clouds, frantically swooping over, the highest wave looked down on the land in the form of a bird's eye view, and drowned it without suspense, all of them stared down in silence, and on the peak of the wave, there was even a symbol of the most powerful conventional force aircraft carrier of mankind was swept over, the symbol of the Star-Spangled Banner was clearly visible, and then it ran over the White House President Wilson's tears silently slid down his wrinkled old cheeks, the capital of the most powerful country in the world, in such a fragmented and shattered form, in the midst of an unprecedented tide At this moment, this old black man, the president who can look down on life and death and share the weal and butter with his people, was already in tears, and he cried out of his voice completely out of shape This sad emotion also spread throughout the boat in an instant, and the cries came and went.
The terrifying waves rushed through in an instant, directly erasing the architectural history and civilization that had been soaked in the brainchild of several generations.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast white ocean, a color that is truly desperate to look atIn the distance, where the sky and the sea meet, the inky black clouds simply stand like mountains, surging wildly, and there is a faint electric light inside.
Fang Senyan felt such an atmosphere of loss, sorrow, and despair, and instinctively felt that he should say something, so he walked in front of President Wilson and said seriously: "Mr.
President, Washington may be buried deep in the sea, but why do these three words make us feel terrified, why do they make us cry The meaning behind it, the spirit it represents is definitely not depressed and sad These four words, if we miss it, then please engrave it in the depths of memory is enough, but if we are bitter about its demise, why not rebuild a new Washington with our hands in the future and rebuild a more magnificent city, you know, before 17 A.D., It's also a wasteland next to the Potomac River."
President Wilson raised his eyes, his red eyes still full of tears, but if he looked closely, his fists clenched again.
Fang Senyan continued: "According to accurate intelligence, the flood will cover the earth for ten days at most, and then it will recede, and at that time, we will still face a new earth, Mr.
President, and there is one sentence that you have repeatedly emphasized that I do not agree with, that you say that you are the last president of the United States of America, but I believe that as long as there are still people alive, as long as everyone has a dream in their hearts to rebuild their own country, then the United States of America will not perish" Everyone looked at Fang Senyan, even President Wilson looked at him in amazement, and then, the presidential assistant Sally was the first to applaud with tears in her eyes, followed by the rest of the people next to her, and finally even President Wilson joined in.
Fang Senyan saw that the morale of the group had recovered, and knew that his words had an effect, so he smiled slightly, and then said loudly into the mechanical cabin: "Hey, Shanter, we're too slow to float up to fly over their heads before those terrible thunderbolt cumulonimbus clouds arrive."
Shante was a technician trained by Dr.
Octopus himself, and had served on the boat for a full three hundred hours, so he shouted skillfully: "I'm doing just that, and now we're at 3,700 meters above sea level, and when a storm or thunderstorm comes, the winds they bring will make us rise a little bit faster."
Over the next half hour, all the passengers had a good experience of navigating through the thunderstorm clouds, and it must have been very exciting to think of lightning and wind raging through a thin layer of bulkheads.
Fortunately, the god of luck still favored them, only a giant airship was struck by lightning, but it could still barely fly, and soon, according to the expected design, the airship rose to a place twelve kilometers above the ground, in this mid-latitude region, which is already the top of the troposphere.
Then you can see the electric light shining in the thick black cumulonimbus clouds filled with water vapor below, and they are small boats that follow the current, moving quickly in the strong wind.
This was also within the previous design plan, and the wind did not pose the slightest threat to the huge and sturdy airship airbags, as if no matter how turbulent the water was, there was no way to make a hollow sealed canned box sink underwater forever.
At this time, the entire airship formation has entered a period of stability, and the period of their drifting in the air is expected to exceed seventy-two hours, and then the angry earth will slowly restrain its anger.
The vast majority of the people on the airship formation were also asleep in fatigue and fear, while Fang Senyan and the others were drinking thick and bitter coffee with President Wilson and did not fall asleep, because they had more important things to do now:
