Chapter 241 Blue Sky Class Drone
Chapter 241 Blue Sky Class Drone
Tumen City.
Official shelter.
“How arrogant.”
“And they also subsidize refugees.”
“This is treating itself as the federal government.”
As the director of the official shelter, Gong Li is theoretically the supreme ruler of Tumen City.
Watching the TV reports from Jianghe City, his dissatisfaction was evident.
"Then what to do."
"Condemn them?"
Tang Zhixin, who was serving as his deputy nearby, looked somewhat helpless as he listened.
He knew that his friend of many years had transferred the power of Jianghe City to Yueying Group.
It's pure venting of anger.
But then again, the Moon Shadow Group’s shelter.
During these six months, it overwhelmed their official shelter and became the largest force in Tumen City.
If you take a few more steps.
Let them in turn incorporate official shelters.
That is actually the current form of Jianghe City.
It's not unfair to say that they are the same.
After being choked by his deputy, Gong Li's anger subsided a lot.
He was silent for a moment and shook his head.
"No, discuss it with them."
“See if they are willing to make an offer to buy out our local residents.”
"Even if one person can be exchanged for a few kilograms of food, it will be fine."
Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction.
But in the face of interests, all personal emotions must give way.
The current city of Tumen.
Official shelters due to energy and food shortages.
It is almost unable to support so many people in its own shelter.
Next, instead of allowing these hungry people to riot or surrender to the enemy.
Might as well pack them up and send them to the neighbors next door.
I think they are willing to subsidize and accommodate unrelated refugees who are hundreds or thousands of kilometers away.
They probably wouldn't mind spending a few resources to accept ordinary civilians who are stronger and nearby.
"also."
"I'll try to contact them."
Tang Zhixin thought about it and felt that this was the best solution at the moment.
Anyway, the neighbors have long become giants that cannot be provoked.
It doesn't matter whether it aids the enemy or not.
It would be better to just take this opportunity to get rid of the burden.
Southeast of Jianghe City, along the river.
There are more than one official shelter in Tumen City who have similar ideas.
Even in Tumen City.
The other two major forces, alongside the official shelter, also have the idea of selling people.
In the last days.
Overpopulation is not a good thing.
Without enough space and jobs.
Every additional person is a heavy pressure on the ruler.
It would be better to sell it at a discount as a resource. At least you can exchange it for something useful.
Jianghe City, a farmyard.
Su Wu handed over the specific discussions with external forces to Chen Xin.
And himself.
It is time to make some time and start thinking about the future of Jianghe City.
Today, the population of Jianghe City has reached tens of millions.
But apart from the population.
Everything else is next to nothing.
Su Wu was essentially driving all these people into cages with eight people in each.
Then they were given a small area to move around in, and basic food rations to ensure they would not starve to death.
Nothing else.
“Although there is still a lot of work to be done.”
"But no matter what, it's a population of tens of millions."
"In ancient times, this number was the total population of many dynasties."
Don't be stingy in appreciating your achievements over the years.
Su Wu looked around the bustling crowds in each affiliated shelter.
Only to take it back again.
Put it on planning.
as far as I can tell.
The surface temperature has just dropped to zero degrees.
The heavy rains and floods have receded.
Although in some areas, sporadic snowflakes began to fall occasionally.
But overall, it is still since the end of the world.
The most suitable environment for ordinary people to engage in large-scale activities outdoors.
"From now on, until the temperature drops to -40 degrees Celsius, no, -50 degrees Celsius."
“These will be the best times to go out and do activities.”
"We can take advantage of this opportunity to maximize the value of tens of millions of workers."
The biggest factor limiting human activities is the environment.
The surface environment is no longer so harsh.
Many tasks that can only be done on the ground can be directly handed over to humans.
No need to transfer through robots.
So, on the ground.
What kind of work can accommodate millions or tens of millions of workers?
Think for a moment.
Su Wu quickly turned his gaze to the ruins of Jianghe City.
This is the place where Su Wu dug continuously for several months.
It contains construction waste and various waste materials.
The total volume is still measured in hundreds of millions of tons.
"At least it's a resource that can be used."
“You can’t just leave it on the ground.”
"Why not take it in now and put it away as soon as possible."
I have a decision in my mind.
Su Wu immediately launched a cleanup operation that was destined to be massive.
The first batch of millions of young and middle-aged workers.
After being screened by artificial intelligence, they were quickly gathered together.
After they were given simple work tools, such as warm clothes, sturdy shoes, gloves, as well as shovels, spades, hammers, crowbars, etc.
They were released from their respective shelters.
We began to carry out preliminary classification and screening of the surrounding building ruins.
Subsequently, a large number of construction vehicles appeared on the surface.
Under the guidance and cooperation of this group of labor force that entered the market earlier.
The sorted construction waste will be loaded onto trucks and transported to various affiliated shelters.
They will be crushed mechanically on-site inside the shelter.
Then they are manually sorted and classified into concrete powder and other materials and stored in different warehouses.
And wait until this system for recycling waste has been running stably for several hours.
Artificial intelligence then made multiple corrections to the unreasonable aspects.
The scale of the entire system began to expand again.
And this time.
It is no longer limited to the young and middle-aged workforce.
Any elderly person who can walk and children who are not studying after school.
They were also mobilized.
Perform relatively light screening work.
Under the central distribution and command of artificial intelligence.
Just a dozen hours later.
The entire Jianghe City has a population of over ten million.
It's like a huge machine.
It was completely put into operation.
Bit by bit, it began to devour the equally huge city ruins on the surface.
"The current peak is that 30 tons of construction waste can be processed every hour."
“It’s a scary number.”
After allowing artificial intelligence to completely mobilize all idle labor in the shelter.
Su Wu received the final report the next day. The huge and exaggerated data on it made him smack his lips for a moment.
Su Wu also saw that most of the residents of the shelter were working with some tools.
Just relying on those tools that are purely powered by manpower and are almost primitive.
In addition, there are about 2,000 transport trucks and hundreds of excavators and bulldozers responsible for transportation.
To be able to achieve such results.
It can only be called a miracle.
But after the surprise.
After carefully reviewing more detailed relevant labor data.
Su Wu couldn't help but frown again.
He saw the almost cruel exploitation of humans by artificial intelligence behind this amazing labor efficiency.
That is almost the physiological limit of human beings.
Driving them to work.
This is possible in the short term.
But if the time is a little longer, large-scale deaths can easily occur.
After all, the fragile body of a living being can never be compared with real mechanical parts.
If you use them to death, they will really die.
"Although we are in a hurry."
“But it’s not that rushed.”
Consider it for a while.
Su Wu made significant cuts to his arrangements for artificial intelligence.
First of all, the size of the population working on the ground was limited to two million.
The remaining people were all sent back.
After waiting for 8 hours, they will take over the shift from those on the ground.
Then the labor intensity of the population still working on the ground was reduced to one third of the original.
This is Su Wu's reference based on his own physical strength and past experiences.
A given amount of labor.
When the shelter was just being built in the farmyard.
Su Wu also once personally carried an electric hammer and worked for several hours.
At that time, he was holding an electric tool in his hand and facing a wall made of red bricks that was much softer than the concrete in the city ruins.
In this way, he struggled until his whole body was almost exhausted, and he could only barely make a gap two or three meters wide.
Calculate according to this situation.
Those on the surface used more primitive tools and did heavier work.
In any case, it should not exceed Su Wu's workload at the time.
"If the work requires overdrawing your body."
"That's not labor, that's slavery."
Su Wu found that kind of thing unbearable just thinking about it.
Naturally, it is impossible to ask others to do this.
After Su Wu's drastic reduction.
The speed of processing construction waste on the surface.
On the spot, the output dropped from 30 tons per hour to about 4 tons per hour.
Just a little more than one-tenth of the limit value.
But this reduced efficiency made Su Wu feel more at ease.
Because it represents health and stability.
After all the idle labor in the shelter is utilized in this way.
Su Wu's sight.
Temporarily leaving the ruins of the city that had gathered millions of people and had become a huge construction site.
Put it in the mountainous area.
In the mountainous area at this time.
Almost all of the 20 residents who once lived there have passed through underground tunnels.
Transferred to the urban shelter in Jianghe City.
Only a part of the supplies were left and had not yet been transferred.
The limestone and iron mines there were no longer disturbed by heavy rains.
At this time, they have each restored their designed maximum output values.
It produces 120 tons of cement and about 800 tons of iron ore every day.
“It is not necessary to make all the excavated limestone into cement.”
“It can also be stored as raw materials.”
"The same goes for iron ore. If you don't have time to smelt it, just store it."
"Try to extract the ore that can be excavated and bring it back to the shelter before the surface environment deteriorates."
Su Wu pulled out the structural diagrams of the two mines scanned in real time.
With the help of artificial intelligence.
Quickly calculated the situation without restricting labor input.
Their theoretical maximum output value.
It was discovered that up to about 5000 tons of limestone and tons of iron ore could be excavated every day.
This may seem like a lot.
But compared to the reserves of the two mines themselves.
It's still a little too scarce.
At this rate, it would take at least two years to empty the small limestone mines.
Mining small iron ore takes longer, nearly three years.
"Unless we can improve our digging tools next."
"Otherwise, this is the best we can do."
Su Wu felt a little regretful.
Judging from the results, it is estimated that the surface temperature dropped to minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius.
There is a high probability that we won’t have time to mine even half of the reserves.
under these circumstances.
The best way to deal with it.
The only thing left to do was to reinforce the underground tunnel from the mountain shelter to the farmyard.
Then through the mountain refuge.
Gradually transfer the output from the two mines.
In this way, even if the surface environment becomes worse in the future.
It will not affect the mine transportation.
"According to this situation."
"If mines are discovered elsewhere in the future."
“It’s also impossible to empty them quickly.”
"By then, long-term mining and transportation in harsh low-temperature environments will still be a huge problem."
“It’s time to consider designing a transport vehicle that is more suitable for low-temperature and ice-field environments.”
"Then, we need to organize several caravans as soon as possible to trade with other regions and gather refugees there."
"These things become more difficult as time goes on."
“It all has to be done as soon as possible.”
He rubbed his forehead with a headache.
Su Wu discovered that the things waiting for him seemed too numerous to count.
11 month 10 day.
The surface of the farmyard.
Today, this place is no longer desolate.
Except for the small bunker built earlier.
Several huge temporary cement warehouses were built here, as well as a huge square paved with quick-acting cement.
At this time, in the square.
A 9-meter-long fixed-wing drone with a wingspan of 13 meters is quietly parked at the end of a planned runway.
"The Blue Sky-class transport drone has completed self-inspection."
"Take off."
Accompanied by the prompts from the control center on the first underground floor, artificial intelligence.
The drone began to glide slowly on the runway and then gradually accelerated.
Flying high into the sky.
Subsequently.
It adjusted its flight direction and flew towards the location of the Tumen City communication signal tower.
"Flight altitude 550 meters."
"Speed 160 kilometers per hour."
"The navigation attitude is stable, and there are no abnormal faults."
Su Wu sat in front of the console.
Looking at this newly developed and produced largest aircraft currently in hand.
A little satisfaction arose in my heart.
"With this long-distance transport drone with a maximum load of 600 kilograms."
"Afterwards, the 12 communication signal towers in the southeast direction."
“We are no longer isolated from each other.”
"Supply replenishment and armed support can be obtained from the air at any time."
