Chapter 151： Philip's pride

Following the order from the man in the lead, the few people behind turned around and went in. After a while, they hummed out a scooter.

What's on the car is a large pile of scrap iron and steel, as well as a weighing scale.

Then a group of people began to move down the grain, and at the same time weighed the scrap iron, steel, and the box. Philip was watching the whole process and did not approach randomly.

It's not that they don't trust these people, but then again, this is the first time the two parties have made a transaction, and it almost caused problems. Philip really doesn't need to trust them.

But it is expected that even if these people are cautious, they will definitely not dare to do too much, otherwise the transaction will be this time. Next time Philip and the others will simply not come. By then, these survivors will suffer.

Standing motionless in the distance, more importantly, maintain a compelling frame.

The status of the two sides is not equal now, this is also a matter of course, who let Ankai and the others control the food?

Mastering food means mastering everything. This is the cost of living. In addition to food, in fact, theoretically clean air and water are also necessary conditions for survival. It can even be said that water is more important than food. A person can live a week without eating, and at most three days without drinking water. In today's era, clean water is no more. It is good luck to be able to find a water source that is not polluted by radioactive dust. As for what is in the water besides radioactive dust, this is really hard to say.

What most survivors can do is to boil the sewage as much as possible, but after confirming that it is not contaminated by radioactive dust, it is enough to find a way to kill the germs in it. As for whether there are other poisonous substances in it, to be honest, people in the peaceful era can consider this question, but people in the doomsday era are obviously not qualified to think about it.

Actually speaking, radiation is not a particularly life-threatening thing.

This thing still depends on the quantity, and the time of exposure to radiation, as well as the radiation intensity, etc., is a very complicated calculation formula, and it is not so simple to draw a conclusion.

When animals receive radiation, there may be a series of biological changes.

Some of the whole body died immediately after being exposed to high-dose radiation, and some basically lived for a period of time. However, with the development of delayed radiation effects, people exposed to radiation will expose them to low-dose radiation.

In the short term, the damage effect is mainly determined by the dose and energy of the β-rays. The greater the dose of β-rays in the falling ash, the more severe the damage.

In the long run, the radiation doses and dose levels that occur in the late stage of radiation or after the delayed effects are relatively wide. The delayed effect may appear several months or even years after the irradiation, and its extensive impact involves almost all tissues or organs. The possible consequences of delayed radiation include shortened life, tissue cancer, cataract formation, chronic radiation dermatitis, reduced fertility, and genetic mutations.

So it’s not realistic to cause death directly. Even if Kent Phillips take off their protective clothing and drive back bare-ass, it means that they are uncomfortable and will suffer a certain degree of injury, but they will not die soon. Or immediately become cancerous or something. And they are too careful. In fact, as long as they are not exposed to radiation dust for a long time, go out occasionally, wear clothes, cover the skin as much as possible, and then wear a mask, in fact, it is all right.

I came back to take a bath and took some anti-Foning, but the problem was not that big. Anti-Funing is a drug that is not available in the real world. It can be regarded as the only surreal drug provided by the system. Its main purpose is to resist nuclear radiation, nothing else.

If you still feel unsafe, it's okay to take some iodine.

After a nuclear radiation-related emergency event, people are very likely to ingest radioactive iodine and concentrate it in the thyroid gland, causing this organ to be exposed to a larger dose.

For example, the experience and lessons of the Chernobyl nuclear accident on Earth show that radioactive iodine is the biggest influencing factor. The accident caused more than 5,000 cases of thyroid cancer in children aged 0-18. Therefore, if you take stable iodine while inhaling radioactive iodine, 90% of the deposition of radioactive iodine in the thyroid can be blocked. Taking stable iodine within a few hours of inhaling radioactive iodine can still reduce the amount of radioactive iodine absorbed by the thyroid gland by about half.

Taking iodine can indeed seal the thyroid gland, preventing radioactive iodine from "invading" it. However, excessive iodine can cause iodine poisoning. In the short term, intestinal discomfort, allergies, and thyroid disease may occur, which can be serious or even fatal.

Therefore, when preventing the harm caused by nuclear radiation to the human body, eat more iodine-containing foods in daily life, such as iodized salt, sea fish, sea shrimp, laver, etc. It can be overdone. Of course, from the perspective of the doomsday world, it is not easy to get so many iodine-containing foods.

So the best way is actually to wear protective clothing and just completely block the radiation.

only takes into account the possible accidents and risks, so some backup methods are also necessary.

Therefore, Philip and the others can actually sit back and relax, but the other survivors are hard to say. There is a shortage of food, a shortage of clean water, a shortage of medicines, and even the air may be contaminated. Even if these people are still alive, how long they can live is actually unknown. Of course, there must be some people who can live well. Like the executives of the federal government, when they decide to use nuclear weapons to wash the ground, they must have been prepared to live underground for a long time.

In the face of the state apparatus, these problems are actually minor problems. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine creating an underground facility that can maintain a stable life for five years, but it is not difficult for a regime.

There are also those big wealthy businessmen who can do the same as long as they have enough money and enough early warning.

Ordinary people, then they can only ask for their own blessings. Either they have a system like An Kai or they can find a sewer and wait for death below.

Yes, wait for death.

The end result of ordinary people can't escape death.

Unprepared, it is impossible for ordinary people to live in a relatively closed space for several years. Even if they escaped the first wave of nuclear strikes, subsequent nuclear radiation could trap them little by little. The people in the Master Refuge are really lucky. They happened to meet Kent and Philip who were looking for gasoline, and it happened that the Ankai Refuge behind them could produce food. Otherwise, these people, I am afraid that they will have to all in one month at most. starve.

The unequal status of the two sides made Philip stand there with a sense of pride.

is really proud, proud of my choice, proud of the strength of my own shelter.

He watched those people in the distance weigh the materials and counted enough scrap iron and steel. Then he moved all these materials and the box of platinum to the small caravan. The caravan sank a lot, and the weight was not bad. Philip nodded in satisfaction.

"The next transaction is within half a month to a month. You'd better save some food, otherwise we will starve to death when there is not enough food, and we can't manage it."

After speaking, without waiting for these people to reply, he let Kent drive.

The small caravan slowly adjusted its head, then started to accelerate, the speed gradually increased, and it quickly sprinted and disappeared.
