Chapter 205 The Surface Gradually Recovers Its Prosperity
early morning.
Farmyard, outer area of the 8th underground floor.
Inside the factory, a row of metal machines gradually light up green indicator lights indicating operation.
Then, along with the sound of the brand new conveyor belt turning for the first time,
Boxes of hard concrete blocks began to be fed into large crushers to be ground into powder.
Then it was transferred into a billiard ball-shaped reaction device.
After half an hour.
The first batch of quick cement, with a faint residual temperature, poured out from the exit at the end of the production line.
Gradually it piled up into a small hill.
A transport truck that had been waiting there shoveled it into the cargo compartment.
Only after it was full did it slowly drive away.
It will head to the nearly completed seventh underground floor, where construction robots will pour the exterior walls using rapid cement.
At the same time, also waiting there was a miniature shield machine with a diameter of 0.6 meters, which was converted from a gravel truck by an engineering robot overnight.
It will also carry some of the quick cement brought over by the transport trucks.
Start at level 7.
The excavation of the material transportation channel officially began.
This material transportation channel will connect to the nearest lime shelter.
At the same time for quite some time in the future.
It will also be the only route for the exchange of materials between the farmyard shelter and all other affiliated shelters in the outside world.
However, don’t underestimate this material passage. Its overall height and width are only 0.6 meters, so small that it looks like playing house.
However, according to the specifications of the small train designed by Su Wu for transporting supplies.
A train can carry 20 cubic meters of materials through the channel at a speed of 5 kilometers per hour.
If a few more are manufactured, they can be put into operation simultaneously on the material channel.
If we ensure that the average frequency of a train departure is every three minutes.
In a day, a total of 2400 cubic meters of materials can be transported back and forth.
If all the materials transported are basic materials such as steel, the scale would be nearly 2 tons.
And the frequency of one train every three minutes is actually a bit low.
Under the precise control of artificial intelligence.
It's not a big problem to do one trip per minute or even one trip per 30 seconds.
It just happened like that.
There will also be quite high requirements for shelters that serve as terminal stations.
A huge space must be reserved that can accommodate dozens or even hundreds of small trains at the same time.
After all, this is just a one-way transportation channel and cannot form a cycle.
There will definitely be a gap in the middle when turning.
But for now.
There is no need for such high transfer efficiency for the time being.
The material transportation capacity is more than 2000 cubic meters per day.
Already enough for use.
Meanwhile, in the underground farmyard shelter, busy work is underway.
surface.
Covered by heavy rain.
Thousands of drones equipped with disinfection lights are still cruising at a constant speed over every corner of the city’s ruins and floods.
Continue to kill the Rolla virus on the surface.
After their hard work these days.
The amount of viruses hidden within dozens of kilometers around Jianghe City has shown a significant decrease.
The threat level to surrounding shelters of all sizes has dropped dramatically.
At least it will no longer happen like at the beginning, where a small number of raindrops and water vapor falling into the ventilation ducts could easily infect a large number of people.
Then there is the gradual popularization of disinfection lamps inside various shelters.
At present, the number of new infections per day has dropped back to below one thousand.
The entire Jianghe City is gradually showing signs of emerging from the shadow of the Lola virus.
Below the drone swarm.
In the raging flood.
Some of the spider robots and humanoid service robots began to drive the unstable kayaks again.
The last part, hundreds of thousands of tons of supplies abandoned in the underwater shelter, were salvaged bit by bit.
Then they were transferred to a small, unmanned shelter that Su Wu had specially set aside for storing supplies. Thirty larger medium-sized hovercraft.
It continues to travel between large, medium and small shelters like a passenger ship.
With the completion of the construction of the rapid cement production line manufactured by the queue.
The manufacturing center once again shifted most of its productivity to the production of capsule grids.
After there is enough accommodation.
These medium-sized hovercraft also resumed operation at full speed.
Each time, thousands of seriously ill people were transported to the Jewi shelter.
Accompanying their constant transportation.
Expected by the end of today.
The Jetway Shelter is a medium-sized shelter designed to accommodate a maximum of 1 people.
More than 63 severe infected people will be gathered.
Officially over Parkview Sanctuary.
It became Su Wu's hand, and also in all the civilian shelters in Jianghe City.
The largest refuge in terms of population.
Outside the urban area of Jianghe City.
The other side of the seemingly endless waters formed by the flood.
Deep in the mountains.
A small limestone mine and iron mine belonging to Suwu.
Not affected by the virus in any way.
A large number of construction machinery.
There, the rhythm remains the same as before.
Cement and iron ore are produced at maximum speed.
Then came a number of ore transport vehicles.
Along the mountain road that was recently opened up.
Transport them down the mountain.
Among these products.
The cement will be transported to several occupied subsidiary shelters according to certain proportions.
For them to build standard dormitories inside the shelter.
Although Su Wu now has better-quality quick-acting cement.
But considering the limited raw materials.
In this kind of unimportant internal construction, it is still preferred to use ordinary cement if possible.
As for the iron ore mined.
It will be transported to Jingyuan Shelter first to supply the thin iron sheet production line there.
The remaining unused part.
They will then be diverted to the Lime Shelter and the Watchtower Base.
It is slowly melted into finished steel through the existing small high-temperature furnace there.
Other than that.
Dozens of transport vehicles that had played a major role in the rescue of survivors from underwater shelters.
Along with more than a dozen waterproofed excavators.
Formed a new scavenger group.
Started picking up trash again.
But this time.
They don't specifically pick out the various scrap metals buried deep in the construction waste.
It's just on the edge of the city near the farmyard.
Put the concrete blocks in there.
Load the truck and pull it to the surface of the farmyard.
These concrete blocks serve as the main raw material for producing quick cement.
It will be crushed and sterilized in the production factory on the 8th floor underground of the shelter.
Put it into the reaction tank for making quick cement.
The limestone contained in it will then eventually turn into the finished product of quick cement.
The remaining separated sand and gravel will become garbage.
It was transported back to the surface and thrown away.
