We live in a world of electricity, but what would it be like if one day, the familiar electricity suddenly disappeared from our lives?

1. First of all, without electricity, we no longer have the familiar electric lights to illuminate our lives. The candle business is gradually improving.

2. Communication is interrupted, our mobile phones become waste, and telephones become decorations. Apart from emails and flying pigeons passing letters, there is no possibility of communication. The farthest distance our sound can travel is only one kilometer, and its speed will return from the previous 300,000 kilometers per second to 340 meters per second. No text messages, no mobile phone communication charges. (Communication basically depends on roaring)

3. Since the food processing plants in the entire industry chain cannot operate, the supply of food will be less than one ten millionth of the demand. Without refrigeration capacity, food preservation will occur and the variety of food will be drastically reduced.

4. All finances are paralyzed. All stock and bond futures trading was suspended. The bank cards and passbooks in our hands will also become waste. People like me who don’t keep cash at home will starve to death immediately. Of course, the cash will be useless soon. Strategic gold reserves will become scrap.

5. Most means of transportation are unavailable. Since the power generation principle is the same as that of large generators, generators in modern vehicles such as cars cannot operate normally. They may be able to fly after being modified. Only airplanes like those in World War I and the early days of World War II can fly. A small number of light boats and speedboats can be driven. However, due to the interruption of the entire transportation line, there will be a shortage of oil, so mechanized transportation will be completely paralyzed after a short period of time. Bicycles are still available.

6. There is no more TV, no radio, no movies or TV series that we are familiar with, and even celebrities and idols can only appear on the stage of drama or comedy.

7. Without electricity, we would not have the opportunity to use computers, we would not be able to chat on QQ or go to Baidu, and this article would not exist.

Day One:

People are surprised, what’s wrong with this society? But because communications were down, people didn't know there was a power outage around the world. Most people thought the power would be restored immediately, and many were happy not to have to go to work.

Three days:

There has been no call, and people are starting to feel anxious, rumors are flying, and they don’t know when the call will come. Everyone began to curse the government's incompetence. At the same time, due to the interruption of communications, the government's work efficiency is extremely low, and it is unable to transmit information and decisions to relevant superior and subordinate departments and the people. Shops became crowded with people queuing up to buy biochemical essentials.

Week:

Rumors of the end of the world begin to spread, crime rates skyrocket, and people begin to rob stores and warehouses for food. Riots broke out and skirmishes were everywhere.

Two weeks:

People began to starve to death, the city fell into chaos, and those with weapons (such as the military) lost trust in the government and began to rob civilians of their resources. At the same time, if the government is still there and the heads of state can finally meet, the relevant scientists should have been contacted to find solutions (such as generating electricity based on chemical principles). But even if a new way of generating electricity is found, it cannot be scaled up. All attempts failed.

One month:

Most people have lost confidence, and people are beginning to look for lifestyles that do not require electricity, such as hunting and so on. At this time, all the batteries should have been exhausted (batteries are not affected due to chemical principles)

Two months:

A large-scale war broke out, and humans have gone crazy. Although high-tech weapons such as missiles are unusable, people charge into battle with AKs and die for a piece of moldy bread. . . .

Three months:

The stored food is gone and large-scale famine begins. Because medicines cannot be produced, hospitals operate inefficiently, medicines are in short supply, and sick people die due to lack of medical treatment. What is even more frightening is that since humans have long lost the ability to give birth under natural conditions (who now gives birth naturally at home), the survival rate of childbirth has plummeted.

Six months:

Since people died of starvation and disease in batches, and the bodies could not be disposed of, it was summer again, and a large-scale plague could be expected, even earlier occur. Coupled with the war, the total population of the world will be reduced to 50% of what it was before the blackout. At this time, due to the depletion of resources (for example, the bullets have been shot and cannot be produced), large-scale wars should have stalled. But out of human nature of fighting, everyone took up knives and even wooden sticks. . . .

One year later:

Winter is coming. There are only about 10% of the population left in various parts of the world, and there are unburied corpses everywhere. The remaining people have become accustomed to living without electricity, and it can be assumed that some people can already live without the living patterns of modern society. But what cannot be changed is the low birth rate and the fact that there is no cure for illness. Since human beings have extremely weak resistance, getting sick almost equals death.

The next ten years:

The population decline slowed, but continued to decline. People have encountered a new crisis: competing with wild animals for food.

But today's humans are too unfamiliar with hunting wild animals, and they are no longer the humans of 10,000 years ago.

Fifty years later:

The end of mankind

One hundred years later:

The call came.

Postscript: We can draw a formula: the survival time of a species = n*(1/degree of dependence on natural resources), n is the coefficient, the greater the dependence on natural resources (or in other words, the greater the dependence on natural resources) The smaller the adaptability to life in nature), the shorter the survival time. The lifespan of the earth has been 5 billion years. Cockroaches have survived for 4.5 billion years. Dinosaurs have become extinct, but they have also survived for hundreds of millions of years. From the time humans walked upright to the present, although there are various opinions and controversies, there are only more than 100,000 at most. Year.
