Chapter 240: Origin of the Glacier
Chapter 240: Origin of the Glacier
No one was willing to easily fall out with Su Wu, who possessed such huge industrial production capacity.
Moreover, regarding the electronic products in Su Wu's hands.
They were also quite envious.
Industrial products such as mobile phones have extremely high requirements for production equipment and raw materials, and it is difficult to produce them by ourselves.
Now, half a year after the end of the world.
Its scarcity has gradually become apparent.
A large number of shelters wanted to purchase some from Su Wu for replenishment.
Take advantage of this friendly atmosphere.
Su Wu even successfully reached shelter agreements with many regional forces.
The reward was some newly produced mobile phones and other precision parts.
In exchange for those places, they temporarily accepted the refugees who entered their sphere of influence on behalf of Su Wu.
Then, after Su Wu had freed up transport capacity, he would send a fleet to bring the refugees back.
“Although it came at a cost.”
“But these are finished industrial products that are paid for.”
“The cost itself is actually not too high.”
“It is acceptable to use it to speed up the process of accepting refugees.”
For this win-win agreement.
Su Wu was very open-minded and didn't feel it was a pity.
But this alone is still not safe enough.
Profits alone are not enough.
For some people, only absolute force can truly intimidate them.
Take this into account.
Su Wu naturally thought of the final battle with the Snow Wind Mercenaries that broke out near Shelter No. 4.
Judging from the brutality of that battle, as well as the various power armors, electromagnetic guns and other top military equipment displayed during the fighting, and the final nuclear bomb.
I believe it is enough to be the best show of force.
"It just happened to be a reconnaissance drone, which recorded the entire engagement."
"Edit it a little bit."
"Just treat it as a documentary and broadcast it on TV a few times."
As Su Wu and the local forces in the southeast region reached a basic agreement.
The process of taking in refugees by long-distance fleets has become simpler and faster.
basically.
On average, I can travel between Jianghe City and other places more than five or six times a day.
Therefore, in the next half month.
Gradually, more than 400 million refugees have been transferred.
The total population of Jianghe City has doubled.
Gradually approaching the checkpoint with a population of tens of millions.
And in the meantime.
Because Su Wu formulated a plan to give priority to accepting refugees and focus on increasing the population size.
The entire local development of Jianghe City.
Relatively speaking it is much slower.
Basically, they all revolve around the millions of new people, adding supporting accommodation and activity areas, basic food production, etc.
The fast-growing plantation that was originally suspended by Su Wu.
Once again, it was laid out on a large scale in all other shelters except farmyards.
And the massive influx of population and the expansion of plantations.
At the same time, it also brings about greater power consumption.
If it weren’t for the small nuclear power plant designed by Su Wu, it would have been successfully built and put into operation in the past half month.
It only relies on the professional thermal power stations owned by the original farmyard and the No. 1 official shelter, plus the generators of other shelters.
It is totally unable to meet this skyrocketing demand for electricity.
11 month 9 day.
The surface temperature has been hovering between 1 and 4 degrees for a long time.
Officially slid to zero degrees.
As the first grain of ice and water mixture fell from the clouds, a faint splash appeared on the water surface.
The long rainy night came to an end.
In the sky, the heavy rain that had been pouring down all day long began to gradually stop.
Some of the thick dark clouds dispersed, revealing some faint grayish-white sky light.
"The water level is starting to drop."
Su Wu looked at the large amount of city ruins in Jianghe City, which gradually emerged bit by bit in the flood. He felt an indescribable complexity.
Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people.
This is a good thing.
No more heavy rains and floods.
They can walk out of the shelter without any worries, even if the temperature outside is a little lower, it will not affect their free activities.
But Su Wu, who learned the inside story from the official shelter, could not be as optimistic as they were.
As the temperature returns to zero.
The temperature will only drop further and further from now on.
No one can be sure where it will eventually stop.
Maybe it will be minus 100 degrees Celsius, or maybe it will be close to absolute zero.
But at least, it will definitely not stop at the level of the North and South Poles before the end of the world.
"It's really going to be the kind of environment I imagined."
"The atmosphere probably no longer exists."
“I just don’t know what the sun will look like at that time.”
Su Wu had countless questions in his mind about the inside information that the Federation deliberately blocked.
But unfortunately no one could answer him.
The only thing he could do was to follow the guidance of these messages.
Prepare in advance for the worst-case scenario.
Open a map.
The light spot representing the Garden Fleet was flashing 400 kilometers away from Jianghe City.
To receive refugees who are temporarily held there.
After these days of hard work.
Refugees throughout the southeast, near the fleet's route.
It has been significantly reduced.
During a trip, the fleet often needs to go to multiple locations and spend nearly half a day to barely fill the space.
But nevertheless.
According to rough estimates, there are still many refugees who have not been taken in along the way.
It may still be above one million.
"I can't take care of them for now."
"I can only hope for the best."
Sighed softly.
Su Wu's eyes calmed down and he gave the final order to the Garden Fleet and Fleet No. 2 at the same time.
The excess daily necessities on the ship were distributed to the refugees who did not have time to board the ship.
Then, everyone returned.
If nothing unexpected happens.
This will be the last time they appear outside of Jianghe City.
As the temperature gets lower and lower in the future.
The fate that awaits them is to be disassembled into raw materials and remade.
That night.
The channel was renamed Jianghe City TV.
To an audience that has reached tens of millions.
This announced the official end of this round of refugee rescue operations.
“This rescue operation started from Tumen City and ended at the mouth of Kuanjiang River.”
“A total of 502 million refugees have been admitted.”
“The standard dormitories currently being built for the last batch of refugees have been completely completed.”
"The corresponding fast-growing plantations will also be completed in the next three to five days."
“By then, basic food supplies for all refugees will be guaranteed.”
"Jianghe City will continue to accept refugees from outside the city."
"But due to the icy waterways, the fleet could not pass normally."
"In the short term, the scale of relief is expected to be quite limited."
"To this end, Jianghe City officials will launch a new round of subsidy plans."
“For all eligible local shelters south of Tumen City, subsidies will be provided.”
"To encourage shelters in the region to temporarily accept refugees—"
