Chapter 39 Satellite Network
Chapter 39 Satellite Network
Su Wu followed Ye Luoshuanghua's instructions and spent more than ten minutes in the control center.
With the help of the console and the signal receiver installed outside the shelter, we successfully connected to a new network.
It's a wireless network established via satellite.
The signal is not very good, but it is enough to transmit text and some simple pictures.
There is basically no content in the entire network, only an official forum and a chat channel established based on the forum.
Su Wu entered the account and password given to him by Ye Luoshuanghua and successfully joined a sub-channel called Jianghe City in the chat channel.
As expected, I saw many familiar names there.
Almost all of them are shelter owners who I have dealt with in the chat group before.
“Communication resources are limited right now.”
“Only some senior personnel of the shelters who have passed official certification are qualified to connect to this network.”
“It’s mainly to make some announcements and facilitate the exchange of resources and information between shelters.”
Ye Luoshuanghua explained to Su Wu the original intention of establishing this network through private chat.
Even in peacetime.
Satellite networking is also a relatively luxurious thing.
And in these last days when rocket launches are becoming increasingly difficult, this kind of communication will only become more valuable.
The fact that such a satellite network was quickly built overnight after the ground Internet failed, and was opened free of charge to small shelters like Su Wu's, shows the importance the government attaches to it.
Su Wu browsed the forum for a while.
I don’t know if it was a hasty act or if it was intentional.
The content of the forum is quite poor, basically only some brief official reports on recent major events, as well as public speeches by senior federal officials, etc.
Most of the valuable information is contained in the few words in the title.
Besides the official administrators, no one else had the right to post or reply. Even browsing was quite restricted. Su Wu's own account could only open the federal announcement area and the local section of his location. He couldn't even see the official news released by the neighboring city.
The only place where people can communicate freely is the chat sub-channel in Jianghe City.
“The controls are so strict.”
"Are you trying to hide something?"
Su Wu was somewhat puzzled, but this question was destined to remain unanswered in a short period of time. His current position was too low, and he could only be regarded as one of the people who needed to be managed under the rule of the federation. Compared with ordinary people, he had at most the title of a rural tycoon. No matter what the federal government wanted to do, he had only the qualification to passively accept it.
in the afternoon.
The storm on the surface gradually subsided.
Su Wu opened the door of the shelter that had been closed for a long time. Amid the rolling dust and rubble, all the vehicles, construction robots, and the engineering team's mechanical equipment were pulled to the ground.
The ground was a mess as expected.
The walls and two-story residential buildings that originally formed the farmyard have long since disappeared, leaving only a few architectural ruins as traces of their former existence.
Several piles of steel materials that were firmly tied together by iron nets were violently torn apart on one side. About one-third of the steel materials scattered from the gap, a small part of them were randomly distributed within a few hundred meters around, and more of them disappeared completely.
And this is still a relatively good situation.
Another material, cement, which was also protected by iron nets and steel plates, had physically turned into ash at this time.
Two thousand bags of unopened cement, weighing hundreds of tons, were all blown away by the wind before their value could be realized.
"Take your time to clean up."
Su Wu witnessed the mess, and even though he had been prepared, he couldn't help but feel upset. After a long silence, he let the robots start to clean up the mess.
The first step is to clear a piece of open space and collect the scattered valuable materials, which are mainly various types of steel and scrap metal, and pile them up again.
Then they razed the ruins of the two-story residential building, and picked out some of the surviving building materials and daily necessities from the ruins and temporarily piled them next to the scrap metal.
Neither task is complicated.
With the joint efforts of seven construction robots, two micro excavators, two micro transport vehicles, and a special transport vehicle which is actually a multi-functional platform, the advancement speed is very fast.
And in the meantime.
Su Wu also received a detailed loss report from the artificial intelligence.
This time the storm passed.
The actual losses were smaller than what was seen and imagined.
The main reason is still the two or three hours of emergency evacuation during the storm break.
It promptly moved the lightest and most valuable materials into the shelter, and even brought in most of the cement.
Secondly, a considerable portion of the supplies blown away by the wind fell within a few kilometers around the area.
Even if the cement was thought to have disappeared completely, some of it can still be found.
The final statistics showed that only 53 tons of steel, 78 tons of cement, and several other materials were lost, which was less than one-tenth of the value of the materials traded with the government.
Looking at the loss report, Su Wu's expression looked a little better.
No matter how.
At least now the resources he has in his hands are still sufficient and will basically not affect the future construction plans of the shelter.
"Next step."
"Maybe it's time to consider building a bunker."
As the ground cleaning progressed, Su Wu was faced with a new problem: how to deal with the materials on the surface.
Putting it in a shelter is definitely not an option.
Not only these supplies cannot be placed in the shelter, but the batch of supplies that were previously urgently transferred cannot be stored in the shelter for a long time.
Otherwise, it will somewhat affect the daily operation and construction progress of the shelter.
If you can't put it in the shelter, you can only do it on the ground.
It just so happened that the farmyard was basically flattened by the storm.
Su Wu could rebuild a more solid fortress without any worries.
Once built.
It can not only be used as a warehouse to store a large amount of supplies, inheriting the original drone landing platform and rocket silo, but also can be transformed into a military fortress and fire sentry tower, becoming the first-line defense facility of the shelter.
There is also a potential advantage.
Building on the ground is much easier than digging underground.
Even if calculated by the highest military standards, it would take less than a few days to build a small bunker, and the time cost was well within the acceptable range.
It has both benefits and low costs.
Didn't think about it for long.
Su Wu was moved and quickly made up his mind.
Let’s build the bunker first.
