The development of nuclear weapons has always been the weapon that poses the greatest threat to human development. Although the United Nations has established regulations on nuclear non-proliferation, there are still secret developments in nuclear weapons by States, and the number of hidden nuclear bombs is incalculable. The outbreak of nuclear war will pose a huge threat to all mankind, and the light radiation and thermal radiation brought by nuclear explosions are enough to kill hundreds of thousands of lives in an instant. When nuclear war strikes, what places are considered safest in China? Experts believe there are two places to use as places of refuge.
First of all, bomb shelters are an alternative. The history of bomb shelters dates back to the First World War. When bombers came out, air raids became a means of military conflict between states. Air strikes not only destroyed homes, but also caused great harm to innocent civilians. In order to reduce the damage caused by high-altitude bombs to innocent people, people began to build bomb shelters. Whenever there were bombers hovering in the sky, people could quickly hide in bomb shelters. During World War II, bomb shelters were widely distributed as defensive facilities. The mainland began to build bomb shelters during the Sino-Japanese War, and many bomb shelters were built in peacetime to deal with external nuclear threats. The bomb shelter can not only resist the thermal radiation and nuclear radiation generated by nuclear explosions, but also have a certain protective effect in the event of natural disasters such as earthquakes. Compared to other ground shelters, bomb shelters are stronger and more resistant to external shocks. Therefore, if a nuclear war breaks out, people can look for bomb shelters as temporary shelters to protect themselves from harm.
In addition to bomb shelters, the subway is another place to take refuge. Beijing was the first city on the mainland to have a subway system. The subway has several advantages, including no traffic jams and fast traffic speeds to reach your destination faster. Since the beginning of the 21st century, China's subway system has been expanding, and many cities have built a number of subway lines, which greatly facilitates people's travel. With the rapid development of rail transit in China, subway stations have become the focus of many people's attention. Metro stations are often large in size, especially with more space at interchange stations and long transition passages to transfer to different lines. Metro stations are designed with structural strength in mind, while also being radiation-proof. In the event of a nuclear war, people can hide in subway stations to save their lives. The shock wave generated by a nuclear explosion is also difficult to cause serious damage to subway stations, so in the event of an emergency on the ground, subway stations can be used as civil defense shelters. Countries around the world are planning for civil defense construction, and there are many places in China that can be used as shelters, and bomb shelters and subway stations are ideal options to withstand strong shock waves.
Underground shelters such as subway stations and bomb shelters also include underground garages, basements, underground shopping malls, and underground warehouses. They can all play an important role in keeping people safe when needed.
