Chapter 237 Air Transport
Chapter 237 Air Transport
“Twenty thousand mobile phones are produced every day.”
"That's millions of dollars a year."
As the first person to discover the network signal appears.
In a very short period of time, more and more people began to pay attention to the TV news from the neighboring city.
People marvel at the development of the industrial sector there.
You know, even before the end of the world.
A factory that produces millions of mobile phones a year can be called a large factory.
In the last days, ground transportation is cut off, external material exchanges are almost zero, and all spare parts must be produced domestically.
That would be even closer to a miracle.
Generally speaking, let alone Jianghe City, which is similar to their territory.
Even if it is a provincial-level metropolitan city.
It is also difficult to achieve this step.
“How did they do that over there?”
Some people became curious.
"Since they can build such a large factory, the living environment there should be better."
There were also people who lived in poverty and developed a slight yearning for it.
But no matter how people's hearts fluctuate.
Before you are really at your wit's end.
It is difficult for ordinary people to give up everything and leave the shelter to go to other distant cities.
The surface of Tumen City.
Two express-level drones took off from the sentry tower next to the newly built communication signal tower.
They were moving closer and closer towards the direction of Jianghe City.
While performing reconnaissance missions.
At regular intervals, a small, simply camouflaged monitor is thrown into a relatively hidden place.
This is a habit that Su Wu developed since the super earthquake in Jianghe City.
Lay monitoring networks on the surface as much as possible.
Collect various data and monitor abnormal phenomena.
To warn of possible natural disasters.
After all, a lot of the time.
Even if we can detect the disaster one or two minutes in advance.
The results will most likely be completely different.
While drones are rolling out the monitoring network.
Su Wu did not give up on exploring the situation in Tumen City through other channels.
For example, at this time in Tumen City, there are several local radio stations that can be accessed.
Different from Su Wu’s communication signal tower.
Due to equipment performance limitations, these are local radio stations.
Only sound can be played.
The information disseminated is very limited.
And even so, for most ordinary people deep in the underground shelter.
They generally have difficulty hearing these broadcasts.
The real audiences of these radio stations are, at the very least, wealthy people who can afford to build their own small shelters.
After listening casually for a while.
It feels like it's not efficient to continue like this.
Su Wu simply let artificial intelligence take charge of monitoring.
Then, after monitoring several radio stations at the same time for more than ten minutes.
Su Wu barely managed to get some basic intelligence about Tumen City from the artificial intelligence.
The entire Tumen city.
It is currently mainly composed of three forces.
One is a large enterprise-level shelter that was listed on the Dongzhou Financial Market before the end of the world and had a market value of tens of billions.
One is from a local bully family.
The last and weakest one is actually the original official shelter.
The three major forces control more than 90% of the population of Tumen City.
Even some private shelters are built by private individuals with their own funds.
Most of them are basically registered under these three major forces and obey their orders.
In terms of ruling power.
Each of these three forces is more powerful than the official shelter that Jianghe City once had.
This kind of rule that tends to be local gang-like naturally brings more intense conflicts and injustices among ordinary people in the shelter.
Analyze the information revealed in the occasional casual words or two on the radio.
The entire Tumen City has not yet achieved the most basic food self-sufficiency.
There have even been more than one large-scale famine.
"Compare it this way."
"The official shelter in Jianghe City has done quite well in the past."
For this reality.
Su Wu felt it was a little difficult to evaluate for a moment.
I thought about it.
He temporarily gave up the idea of contacting the various forces in Tumen City.
According to the domineering style of these forces in the local area.
No matter what you want to do, there will be bloodshed.
Better to avoid it as much as possible.
First, bring those refugees who are stranded outside back to their own shelters.
Now is not the time to fight.
After all, for other resources, there is not much difference between getting them earlier or later.
But for refugees, if they go a little later.
I will really die in front of you.
Silently watching the nodes of the monitoring network light up and expand little by little on the map.
Su Wu's gaze.
Before I knew it, I had landed at the newly built communication signal tower.
The sentry tower next to the communication signal tower.
At this time, it actually also plays a part of the role of a base.
Express-level drones take off from there, and also recharge their batteries and various monitoring equipment there.
Also in the future.
If there is a problem with the monitoring network in Tumen City, the equipment on a certain node may be accidentally damaged.
It also needs to be repaired from the sentry tower.
In addition, if you need to form a caravan to trade with Tumen City in the future.
Or, explore and mine minerals in Tumen City.
The communication signal tower is also the center.
“Wait until it develops in the future.”
"These communication signal towers in other places will become more and more important."
"It seems a little unsafe to have only one sentry tower guarding it."
Su Wu was in deep thought.
I want to strengthen the military force and scale there.
However, after careful consideration, due to cost and risk considerations.
He silently rejected the idea again.
An alternative plan was chosen instead.
That is to build a simple small aircraft runway no more than 50 meters long next to the watchtower.
By using fixed-wing drones with greater flight range and carrying capacity.
To strengthen their connection with each other and with the farmyard.
Convenient for future needs.
Supplies and support forces can be delivered quickly from the farmyard.
“You don’t need to fly too fast.”
“The load doesn’t need to be too high.”
"It's enough to deliver an ordinary spider robot, plus some extra ammunition."
“It can be set at 600 kilograms.”
"In this case."
"It should be able to significantly reduce the requirements for runways."
"You can use it directly by just leveling the ground. It doesn't even need to be hardened."
According to the requirements, Su Wu quickly found the design drawings of a similar small fixed-wing UAV in the database.
However, this blueprint cannot be used directly on the current surface.
It must also be designed to be rainproof.
Replace the original fuel-powered vehicle with all-electric drive, etc.
