At the moment when the earth has a power outage, all the lights go out, the network cannot be connected, the sound becomes noisy, you can't see your fingers, and the whole world begins to fall into darkness. All electrical equipment, including traffic lights, immediately stopped working, cars collided with each other, and the entire road traffic network gradually paralyzed.
After one minute
Those flying in the air will lose the GPS signal and be completely disconnected from the ground. What awaits them is likely to be a plane crash. At the same time, high-speed rail trains have also lost power, especially internal combustion engine green trains, which will hide huge safety risks because there is an control switch on the track to switch the track. Due to the power outage, the signal lights have long been disabled, so the train is likely to be traveling on the wrong track. Once it collides with objects in the carriage, it will cause huge casualties.
An hour later
As all channels to the outside world were cut off, most people did not realize that this was not a simple local power outage, but an unprecedented global disaster. If a solution is found in time, human civilization is likely to be traced back to thousands of years ago.
One day later
Most people’s mobile phones have automatically shut down because they cannot be charged. At the same time, equipment that maintains water pressure also stopped working, and the municipal water supply system was completely paralyzed. If you want to go to the toilet, you will find that there is no water in the toilet, the faucet cannot be used at all, and the TV, air conditioner, and washing machine have become furnishings. It seems impossible to return to the original state of the normal life. I was extremely disappointed and wanted to go out to relax, but I found that the streets were in a mess, cars that had run out of fuel were parked haphazardly on the road, and restaurants were basically closed.
A week later
The food in the refrigerator has completely rotted, and more than 7 billion people around the world are beginning to face serious food problems. Supermarkets, shopping malls and other places where food was stored have been washed away. Because the elevator is out of order for a long time, you are forced to climb more than 30 flights of stairs to get home. You are so tired that you just want to lie down and sleep, but when you look up, the windows are full of stars. Thanks to the complete disappearance of pollution, this beauty that can only be seen in the wild now appears in the city.
A month later
humans finally realized the seriousness of the matter. At this time, countries began to hold emergency meetings to discuss next steps. But the reality is not optimistic at all. All kinds of garbage can be seen everywhere, rivers are seriously polluted, streets and alleys are filled with pungent odors, and various infectious diseases have begun to break out on a large scale. Rats, wild cats and other strong survival creatures gradually took over the entire city. At this point, the human social system has completely collapsed. All major banks and commerce have come to a standstill. Money and status have become no longer important. How to survive is the first question before everyone.
Three months later
Most people began to look for food in the wild, but an invisible crisis was coming quietly. Due to a lack of power, refineries around the world are unable to release the huge pressure in their pipelines when temperatures rise into the thousands of degrees. There will also be violent explosions in the oil pipeline. What is even more frightening is that due to the lack of continuous cooling of cold water, the fuel rods of more than 400 nuclear reactors around the world have begun to release lethal radiation. At this point, human civilization faces a critical challenge.
Six months later,
the population dropped by more than 30%, and many cities, including New York and London, had long lost traces of human life. The asphalt road is overgrown with weeds and tall buildings are surrounded by vines, making the place desolate. Animals have taken over city after city, but we are forced to survive in the wilderness.
A year later, the population of
was only 20%, but these survivors have learned survival skills and gradually adapted to the hard life in the wild, reclaiming wasteland, hunting and fishing in the mountains and fields. Start building a new civilized society again.
In just one year, a power outage is the regression of thousands of years of human civilization, which shows its importance to mankind, but fortunately, all this is actually hypothetical.
Since the 18th century, electricity has made major breakthroughs. It plays an extremely important role in human civilization. Without electricity, all facilities in modern cities cannot work properly.But you may not know that more than 80% of the electricity people use today comes from non-renewable energy sources such as oil and coal. According to authoritative statistics, every 100 kilowatts of electricity consumed by humans will cause up to 78.5 kilograms of carbon emissions. For the sake of our descendants and the future of mankind, everyone should start from themselves, turn off the lights, save electricity, and create a better future for the earth
