Chapter 180 Arrangements for the New Population
However, these gains are indeed huge.
The challenges we face are also quite difficult.
The population increased by nearly half.
This has resulted in a surge in demand for water, electricity, food, living space, etc.
With the scale of Jingyuan Shelter and Zhou Xiwu Shelter.
It's barely enough to let this group of people stay for a few days.
But if the time is a little longer.
This will inevitably lead to a series of quite serious problems.
There is even a high probability that it will cause an overall collapse.
Bring up maps of two large shelters.
Su Wu discovered.
To temporarily accommodate the new population.
In addition to taking up all the space that was temporarily unused.
The space originally planned for building farms was also diverted.
Even the hydroponic farm area that has already been built.
Many places were also demolished and used as temporary resettlement sites.
In total, it occupies a space equivalent to 25 aircraft carriers, or 25 standard units.
"Let's build a batch of dormitories first to free up some space."
Looking at the fully occupied shelter.
Su Wu could only start by compressing the space.
As an underground shelter.
Every inch of space is extremely precious.
Living, planting, industrial production, and storing various resources, everything requires space.
And the difficulty of opening up space.
Take a look at Su Wu’s own farmyard sanctuary.
This can be seen from the fact that it has been excavated continuously since before the apocalypse and it is still the size of a small shelter.
That was such a time-consuming and labor-intensive task.
Therefore, Su Wu wanted to farm to grow more food.
To feed the new population.
We must first free up some of the space they occupy.
Otherwise, there is no place to continue to expand the scale of planting.
As for building dormitories, it is obviously the most space-saving approach.
A standard dormitory only takes up 75 cubic meters of space.
It can accommodate 8 people for long-term living.
Then add the corridors and various supporting living facilities.
Basically, one standard space can accommodate up to 5 people.
Four to five standard spaces can accommodate more than 20 survivors.
Of course, if this is really an extreme operation.
Although these people's basic survival can be guaranteed, their mental state cannot be expected to be very good.
Under long-term repression.
There is a high probability that various violent and criminal incidents will emerge one after another.
The best solution is to leave some space for public activities.
Give them a chance to relax and adjust.
Just like this.
The final size of the living area will most likely be around eight standard spaces.
There wasn't much space left for Su Wu to farm.
“Stability is more important.”
"It's better to take up more space."
“There’s not enough space to plant.”
"We can first grow something that has a higher yield and can support our livelihood."
Su Wu weighed the pros and cons.
It was decided not to compress the living space of the new population.
As for the original broiler farm.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible to maintain the original scale.
Su Wu intends to reduce its size by 80%.
The rest of the land is used to produce mushrooms, earthworms and other cheaper foods with higher yields.
The population has increased so much.
The most important thing is to ensure that no one starves to death.
As for the taste of the food, I can’t care about it for now.
And then besides that.
Food and living space are just the two most basic aspects.
Water and electricity cannot be ignored either.
Several more water plants and power stations will have to be built one after another. And with a larger population, the original sewage treatment system will also have to be upgraded.
Finally, there is work.
It is impossible for Su Wu to support more than 20 people for nothing.
Moreover, leaving these people idle is also a huge hidden danger.
“It’s really troublesome.”
I found that more and more things happened.
Su Wu rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Dealing with these tasks is very boring, but you can't skip it.
after all.
One mistake could lead to disastrous consequences.
Fortunately, this was the only trouble for him.
Wait until initial planning is complete.
The remaining specific matters can be left to artificial intelligence.
By then, even if there will be occasional deviations in the process.
It is also possible to emulate the previous trial and jury system.
Let those who survive correct themselves.
I was busy until 8pm.
Su Wu finally managed to make smooth arrangements for the more than 20 new survivors.
at this time.
He has spare energy and can take a look at his own development.
The underground shelter in the farmyard is the core of Su Wu’s territory.
Currently, more than 9 square meters of space have been opened up on the 1000th underground floor.
This is the final level of the shelter design.
According to Su Wu's original plan.
The plan is to build a warehouse here to store resources such as metals and water.
but now.
As Su Wu's power expanded rapidly.
The number of survivors alone reached 60.
Several subsidiary shelters also have huge spaces that far exceed the farmyard itself.
There is no need to simply hoard these basic resources.
“The core must have a core usage.”
"The 9th underground floor can be used to build a professional thermal power station."
“It can not only improve the efficiency of coal-fired power generation, but also lay the foundation for the future expansion of industrial productivity.”
Professional thermal power station.
The name sounds ordinary.
But the word "professional" in the prefix clearly distinguishes it from ordinary generators.
Ordinary generator.
Including the 600kw thermal power generator used in Qingning Shelter, the 6000kw to 10000kw large thermal power generators used in Zhou Xiwu Shelter and Jingyuan Shelter, etc.
Using one ton of coal can only generate 3000 degrees of electricity.
And in a professional thermal power station.
The same ton of coal can generate 4000 kilowatt-hours of electricity.
The power generation efficiency has increased by about 30%.
Currently in the entire Jianghe City.
In addition to the official Shelter No. 1, it also has a professional thermal power station.
other places.
There is nothing like this kind of industrial heavy equipment.
Even Su Wu was not long ago.
Through the trading network, he bribed a technical director of the official shelter.
Only then did I get a professional design drawing of a thermal power station.
The possibility of construction.
"With a professional thermal power station."
"In the future, we can gradually shut down the thermal power generators in other shelters."
"Instead, use—"
"Well, use an electric transport truck to transport electricity from the farmyard."
The 30% gap in power generation efficiency makes all other thermal power generators outdated equipment.
There is no need to use it anymore.
And a professional thermal power station.
The construction cost itself starts at more than 100 million yuan, and the power generation capacity is also extremely huge.
There is absolutely no need to build two at the same time.
The most economical consideration is that all shelters share the same power station.
