Chapter 78 Radiation Protection Coatings
Chapter 78 Radiation Protection Coatings
7 month 15 day.
24 hours after the meeting announcing the impending radiation storm.
As the second batch of 5,000 radiation detectors began to be delivered.
Huangshi Village has truly become the busiest area in the entire Jianghe City.
Every moment.
There are a lot of vehicles coming in and out here.
Among them are trucks that transport supplies, engineering vehicles that help with unloading and preliminary packing, and off-road vehicles driven by managers from different large shelters who are responsible for commanding convoys and handing over supplies.
When there are more people, the atmosphere of fireworks is naturally brought in.
Even because of the temperature, most people huddled in the cab. Only a few people, wearing heat-insulating clothing, got out of the car to move around.
But it also created a somewhat crowded scene.
In this situation, the road near the ruins of the farmhouse will occasionally even experience traffic jams.
Dozens or even hundreds of cars lined up in a long queue.
It adds a different color to the wilderness that was almost lifeless.
Many of the workers who were hired to drive and unload goods couldn't help but look a little dazed when they saw this scene.
This was a common sight before the end of the world, and even annoyed those who encountered it. But now, it seems unusually nostalgic.
at the same time.
On the ground, a brief period of prosperity began to appear due to the need to transport large amounts of materials.
Many are located in shelters deep underground.
Countless residents of the shelters are still living a repetitive and boring life as before, working hard to earn the meager rations to survive.
Lacking access to outside information, they were not only unaware of the prosperity on the ground at the time, but also unaware of the impending radiation storm.
In their eyes, the always dim and dull space inside the shelter might remain unchanged for several years.
Until the disaster on the ground is over and we can return to our former homes.
Apart from this, everything in the outside world has nothing to do with them.
But the residents of the shelter on the lower level were in a daze.
The middle and high-level elites in the shelter, who have access to more information, cannot be as complacent as them.
Many of them had not had a good rest since they learned that the radiation storm was about to sweep across the ground. With red eyes, they had been trying their best to seek more disaster relief supplies and, as a last resort, to give up all preparations for escape.
Anti-radiation coatings, carbon fiber composites, protective clothing, lead plates, tin foil, even high-density concrete, activated carbon, etc., anything that has something to do with resisting radiation.
In the eyes of these shelter elites, they have become the most valuable trading items.
They are willing to pay a huge price to obtain these supplies for self-defense.
Even if you cannot protect the entire shelter, you must at least ensure that you and your family are protected.
Compared to these small and medium-sized shelters where people are trying to survive and save themselves.
The large-scale shelters that have barely been able to establish complete ecological circulation systems are also seeking more benefits in the midst of busy work.
They received assignments from official shelters to man the surface detection areas.
Obtain enough radiation detectors to complete the task by opening inventory, producing on your own, or trading with official and other private forces.
Then they set up temporary or semi-permanent observation points in the corresponding detection areas. Then, they called together the residents in their own shelters and selected qualified workers from them for short-term emergency safety training.
It can be sent to the ground to perform monitoring tasks after the radiation storm arrives.
Because the shelter offered these workers very generous wages, almost three times their previous income.
Almost every worker who was selected was excited and even had some expectations.
For them, with protective clothing provided by the shelter and no problem with their own safety, going to the surface to work is like a public-funded tour and adventure, which is much more interesting than staying in a dull and small shelter all the time.
But these people don’t know.
A protective suit that can truly and completely shield radiation is actually worth far more than they imagine.
The various protective suits distributed to them by the shelter, and even the ones they knew and had come into contact with in the past, might have some weak effect in resisting radiation, but they were mostly just psychological comfort, and in fact, there was no difference between wearing them and not wearing them.
Waiting for them.
It will be a horrific experience that seems easy, but will drag them into hell in the near future.
at the same time.
The ruins of a farmyard.
The control center on the second floor of the underground shelter.
Su Wu connected to the official shelter's open inventory management system through the satellite network.
After receiving the second payment of contribution points advanced by the official shelter, Su Wu's contribution points have accumulated to 200 million.
Su Wu did not spend this contribution indiscriminately.
Just used it to buy two items.
One is a new radiation protection paint formula worth 150 million contribution points. The other is a batch of special fluorescent powder with a total contribution value of 50. That fluorescent powder is extracted from a plant originating from another continent and is the main raw material for making radiation protection paint.

[The radiation protection coating formula has been shipped, please check the relevant documents.]
[Special fluorescent powder begins to be shipped out and packaged.]
[Please pick it up at the official Shelter No. 1 Hongqiao Station warehouse in two hours.]

Su Wu quickly browsed through it.
The formula is not complicated. Except for the special fluorescent powder, the other materials are very common.
The only problem is that the manufacturing process is very complicated.
Various special instruments are required to cooperate with each other.
Basically, a high-end chemical laboratory has to be built specifically for it to be truly configured.
“The requirements are quite high.”
Su Wu raised his eyebrows, sensing the sinister intentions of the authorities.
If I were to go to a shelter with less comprehensive industrial manufacturing capabilities, after going through so much trouble to exchange this formula, I would probably have to spend a lot of money to buy a set of equipment specifically for producing paint from the government.
This time over and over again.
It is almost equivalent to recovering a huge amount of contribution value at a very low cost.
I checked the prices of related equipment in the official warehouse.
Sure enough, it did not exceed expectations.
The price tag of each unit obviously exceeds its true value, and it is a tool used by the authorities to extort money.
