Chapter 40 Ground Bunker
However, although it was decided to build a bunker, where to build it was still a question that needed to be considered.

The ideal place, of course, is the entrance to the shelter.

The bunkers built surrounded the exit of the shelter. If people outside wanted to enter the shelter, they had to capture the bunkers first. The sense of security was instantly maximized.

But there is an unavoidable problem in doing so.

The exit of the shelter was not small, and if a bunker was to be built to cover it, the scale would have to be at least several times larger than originally planned. The extended construction period and the amount of extra building materials consumed far exceeded the limit that Su Wu could tolerate.

Think about it.

The best solution is to rebuild on the location where the original houses were located.

In that way, the original drone lifting platform can be directly inherited to minimize construction costs.

In addition, after experiencing the unexpected storm disaster, Su Wu did not really have no ideas about the renovation of the shelter exit.

The entrance and exit of the shelter is a downward sloping passage dug out of the flat ground. The outermost shelter gate in the passage is designed to be vertically downward.

This structure naturally has obvious defects.

For example, when there is a heavy rain, it is easy for rainwater to gather and form puddles. If there is radiation, viruses or something like that in the rainwater, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

Or when there is a conflict with armed thugs, if there is no exit from the shelter, you will be directly exposed to the thugs' guns. The difficulty of going out to fight has increased by several levels.

According to Su Wu's idea, he wanted to solve these problems.

It is not necessary to build a fortress specifically.

In the initial stage, a garage-sized concrete bungalow is built at the exit location, and simple waterproofing and drainage measures are taken.

Then, with the bungalow as the core, the soil and rocks excavated from the ground were slowly piled around it, continuously increasing the thickness and height of the bungalow until an artificial hill was formed, transforming the original concrete bungalow into a shelter built in the hill.

The biggest advantage of this approach is that the cost is almost zero. All you need to do is slightly change the route for dumping soil and garbage while expanding the underground shelter. It is a solution that is not very effective, but it has no cost anyway, so it is worth trying.

evening.

The faint light coming from the clouds gradually disappeared.

Thick darkness descended upon the earth.

On the flat ground that originally belonged to the farmyard, several high-power electric lights were hung on temporary road poles, illuminating the surrounding area of ​​hundreds of meters as if it were daytime.

After several hours of continuous cleaning.

There is no trace of the storm now.

All the materials on the ground, including the debris left by the collapsed buildings and walls, were collected according to different categories. Not far away from them, the foundation had been re-laid where the houses were originally located, and the ground part of the bunker was being built.

"It doesn't take that many excavators and transporters to build a bunker."

"It will free up some energy to do other things."

The control center on the second underground floor of the shelter.

Su Wu sat in front of the control console, looking at the construction site that was getting on track through the surveillance camera, and had a new idea.

He did not forget that there were still several hundred tons of supplies stored in the official shelter that had not been transported back in time. The longer these things were in someone else's hands, the greater the variables. Now that he had spare capacity, he naturally had to continue to transport them back as soon as possible.

Think about it.

Su Wu did not take any rash direct action.

He activated the reconnaissance drone fleet and asked them to conduct aerial reconnaissance of the urban area of ​​Jianghe City first.

Soon, a series of slightly unfamiliar bird's-eye views were delivered to Su Wu.

Looking down from a high altitude.

After experiencing the unprecedented huge storm.

The topography within a dozen kilometers of the farmyard had changed slightly. Many sections of the road were pitted by huge rocks falling from the sky, and some places even broke directly, forming a wide crack like a river.

With that kind of terrain, not to mention large trucks, even tanks can't cross it.

The only way is to build a bridge on site or simply take a detour.

After entering the urban area.

The situation is even worse.

Large tracts of buildings in the city collapsed in the hurricane. A large amount of building debris flooded the streets and alleys like a flood, turning the originally well-connected transportation network into a desert covered with rubble.

Only a few large shopping malls that are sturdy enough, as well as residential and commercial buildings with more than seven floors, are barely able to maintain their original state.

It will not cause the entire city to completely return to its original state.

"too exaggerated."

Su Wu felt a chill down his spine as he watched, realizing that he had underestimated the destructive power of the storm.

This kind of scene can probably only be compared to a nuclear explosion or an earthquake of magnitude 7 or above.

at this time.

A slight prompt sound was heard.

That means there is new news in the Jianghe City section of the official forum.

Su Wu temporarily put aside his concern for the city and opened the forum. He found two new announcements on the Jianghe City section.

The first one briefly describes the losses caused by the storm and the current status of various official shelters in the city.

As the highest authority in Jianghe City, the official shelter controls the largest population and materials in the entire city. Correspondingly, they are also the party that suffered the most losses in this disaster.

In just over ten hours, more than one-third of the ground warehouses were completely destroyed. The loss of materials was close to two million tons. The types of materials ranged from daily chemicals, vehicles, building materials, electronic components, industrial production line equipment, to food, etc.

Fortunately, due to the timely warning, there were not many casualties, and all the equipment in the underground shelters can still operate normally.

Su Wu read the announcement carefully, his eyes lingering on the loss type column for several seconds.

His expression gradually became solemn.

Don't be fooled by the wording of the announcement, it seems to be an understatement. But the three key words "one-third of the warehouse, two million tons, and food" appearing together mean that the matter cannot be too small.

With a little translation, it can be understood that the official industrial production capacity has been severely hit, the materials for maintaining the daily operation of the shelter have been greatly reduced, and the grain reserves are declining to the warning line.

Each one of them is heavyweight bad news.

"People in the official shelter."

"I'm afraid the days ahead will be tough."

Su Wu seemed to vaguely sense a hint of impending storm.
