Chapter 242 Rapidly Growing Jianghe City
Chapter 242 Rapidly Growing Jianghe City
A Qingkong-class drone with a wingspan of more than ten meters.
We traveled through the cold current at high altitude for more than half an hour.
It landed smoothly near the communication signal tower in Tumen City, on an open space that had been urgently cleared by the security soldiers and robots stationed there.
As the slid down the drone and stopped steadily, the two spider robots that had been waiting there began to move forward.
Take out the supplies carried in the drone warehouse one by one.
This time, the drone carried a total of 600 kilograms of supplies, all of which were exploration-related equipment.
They are equipped and used by ordinary spider robots and can detect whether there are valuable mineral resources at a depth of up to 50 meters underground.
According to Su Wu's plan.
An important task in the future for this small base centered around a communication signal tower is to survey the entire mountainous area of Tumen City and other remote areas.
Find all unexplored mines.
"Unlike Jianghe City, which is almost a mineral desert."
"In the public records before the end of the world."
"The underground resources in Tumen are relatively rich, with several potash and copper mines already discovered."
"If we explore carefully, we will most likely make some new discoveries."
In addition to the expectations for those undiscovered mineral resources in the wild.
For the few mines that have been discovered.
Su Wu was also very interested.
In particular, the medium-sized potash mine can be used to produce large amounts of fertilizer to solve the deficit caused by Su Wu's large-scale expansion of the plantation.
However, these mines have already been discovered and are even being mined.
They are all deeply entangled with the local forces in Tumen City.
As an outsider, it is not easy to rob directly in a short period of time.
According to Su Wu's idea.
It would be best to obtain part of the mining rights through negotiation.
Of course, if the negotiations fail or the other party asks for too high a price.
Then when the right opportunity comes, we can also consider armed occupation.
Thinking about the room.
It was noticed that the spider robot responsible for unloading had left the runway.
Su Wu began to control the drone to turn and take off.
at this time.
It can be seen clearly through the camera on the drone.
on the ground.
A clear mark has appeared where the drone passed when it landed.
Obviously, this runway is basically made of loess.
The quality is quite substandard.
Wait until this drone leaves.
The soldiers responsible for guarding this side must repair the runway again.
"It seems that it is necessary to transport another batch of quick cement."
“It’s specifically for building a runway.”
Su Wu was thinking about the next transportation for the Qingkong-class drone.
Added a new quest.
"And since the test was clear."
“Then we can start mass production.”
"Next, let's continue to produce nine."
At the speed of a Blue Sky-class drone.
It only takes about an hour to travel between Jianghe City and Tumen City.
Even going to the farthest seaside communication tower.
No single session will exceed 6 hours.
So, strictly speaking.
Even if there is only one.
It is also sufficient to meet all daily transportation needs of the 12 communication signal towers outside Jianghe City.
Nine extra ones.
In fact, it is mainly to expand the scale of the sentry towers next to the communication signal towers.
And used to transport small amounts of high-value materials.
Su Wu planned to use those communication signal towers as nodes to build an air transportation network.
Specially used to trade some valuables with those local shelters within the coverage area of the signal tower.
For example, using self-produced mobile phones, medicines, etc. in exchange for local gold, silver, and other rare materials.
If it works well.
This air transport line may be able to earn profits thousands of times the investment cost.
Turn your attention away from the Blue Sky-class drone that has successfully started its return journey.
Su Wu's gaze returned to the surface of the farmyard.
Inspecting the huge new warehouses built near the flattened runway.
Build these warehouses.
In fact, it is also a helpless act.
With the huge size of the Qingkong-class drone.
It is impossible to get out of the shelter normally through the exit passage.
All core parts can only be manufactured in the manufacturing center of the shelter first.
Then they are transported to the surface in batches, where the final step of assembly is completed.
Considering the surface, there may be severe weather such as rain, snow, strong winds, etc.
Even the most low-tech assembly is obviously impossible to carry out in the open air.
As a second best solution, these temporary warehouses were built.
“No need to think about keeping warm or safe.”
“Plus there’s wireless charging.”
“There is no need to lay down basic power lines separately.”
“The construction cost of the entire above-ground warehouse is so low that it can be ignored.”
“The most valuable thing.”
"That is, when there is an assembly mission, the parts are transported from the shelter."
"That's how it works out."
"Even if there is any unexpected disaster, all surface warehouses will be destroyed."
“It won’t be a big loss.”
Querying the various construction costs of the warehouse.
Once again, their value was assessed.
While Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
If possible, he naturally didn't want to go through so much trouble.
But there is no way.
Space in underground shelters is limited.
These above-ground warehouses will remain in place for quite some time to come.
I'm afraid they will continue to exist.
Finished inspecting the warehouse on the surface.
Su Wu's gaze once again focused on the underground shelter.
As Su Wu continued to update and optimize the engineering team's various construction equipment.
After more than half a month.
The second phase expansion project of the entire farmyard shelter has finally achieved its first interim results.
It completes the expansion of the bottom floor.
The farmhouse has 7 floors underground.
The original diameter was expanded from 100 meters to 500 meters.
Don't underestimate this number.
With a diameter of 500 meters, it is only slightly longer than a standard stadium track.
But actually.
Its internal space underground is so huge that it can be measured in millions of cubic meters.
Just that one new layer of space.
It is three or four times larger than the original farmyard shelter.
Enough to accommodate three aircraft carriers.
It can be said to be the size of a medium-sized shelter.
It’s a pity that the construction team was digging underground very quickly.
Su Wu's population expansion was faster.
In this half month.
The population has grown to tens of millions.
Nowadays, the basic food consumption per month is more than 100,000 or 200,000 tons.
It is just a newly added space the size of a medium-sized shelter, even if it is entirely built into a plantation.
Its production will not have much impact on the whole.
"take it easy."
"In any case, there is enough space added every day." "There is no need to rush for success."
His eyes fell on the plan for the new space next to the three-dimensional map of the shelter.
Su Wu thought about it again and again.
Ultimately it was not modified.
The number of fast-growing plantations built in the shelter attached to Jianghe City is now sufficient to ensure the basic food needs of everyone.
There is no need to continue increasing its number here in the farmyard.
Instead, conventional plantations were built as per previous plans.
Although the grain output is only half of that of fast-growing plantations.
But it’s done in one step.
No matter how the shelter develops in the future, there will be no need to change it.
Avoid wasting time and resources on duplicate construction.
Completed the inspection.
Su Wu began to deal with today's affairs.
After the surface temperature dropped below zero and the heavy rain basically stopped.
The water level in the entire Jianghe City is dropping rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The returning Garden Cruise Ship and other ships.
Soon after docking at the deep-water port, which was originally built on the basis of a medium-sized shelter.
There were signs of a grounding.
Up to now.
It is equivalent to staying directly on the land.
"It will probably be completely useless in the future."
“Just tear them all down.”
The last glance at the screen stopped at the ground that had already dried up.
A cruise ship that looks like a steel city.
Su Wu made the decision with a little regret.
Subsequently.
Hundreds of spider robots and a dozen transport vehicles.
Started to appear near the cruise ship.
They first moved away all the equipment that could be dismantled and all the daily necessities that could be taken away from the cruise ship.
These things will not be destroyed and reduced to raw materials.
Instead, they will be temporarily stored in the warehouse of the attached shelter.
Wait until you need it in the future, then take it out and use it directly.
Avoid unnecessary losses in the middle.
As for the remaining large pieces, cut them all off.
Recycled as scrap steel.
Because there is no rush.
The number of robots sent by Su Wu was not too large.
The entire demolition process seemed neither hurried nor slow.
It looks like it will take ten days or half a month to demolish.
After Su Wu made sure that the demolition work on site was on track, he no longer paid attention to it.
Then he turned his attention to the farmyard and the manufacturing center on the second underground floor.
The current manufacturing center is still operating at full capacity.
It mainly produces mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets, various engineering vehicles and robots, exoskeleton armor, etc.
Mobile phones and Bluetooth headsets are basic equipment.
Because the population is growing too fast.
Until now.
There are still more than millions of people in the entire Jianghe City who are not equipped with these two devices.
most of the time.
The AI had to assign a person with a Bluetooth headset to serve as captain and messenger.
To indirectly direct others.
This is invisible.
A lot of time is wasted on delivering commands and confirming target status.
The actual work efficiency of those people is only about two-thirds of that of others.
Engineering vehicles and robots.
It is the main mechanical equipment that can currently improve the productivity of the entire Jianghe City.
Every time an engineering vehicle or robot is produced.
Artificial intelligence will then respond from among the 200 million shelter residents who are working in the ruins of the city.
Pick out three people.
They were dispatched to the remote control center inside the shelter, and were responsible for taking turns to remotely operate this newly manufactured machine.
some of.
For the selected individuals, it is like transforming from a migrant worker to a white-collar worker sitting in an office.
Both the working environment and labor intensity have been greatly improved.
For Su Wu.
It added three more labor forces, whose work efficiency increased by more than 10 times.
The last industrial product mass-produced by the manufacturing center is exoskeleton armor.
Currently, it is also mainly distributed to ordinary shelter residents working in urban ruins.
Compared to teleoperated robots.
These shelter residents were assigned exoskeleton armor because they still had to work on the surface in person.
In terms of labor intensity, it is relatively higher.
You also need to bear the various dangers that may be encountered in surface activities.
But at least it is much better than ordinary shelter residents who use primitive tools, have no protection, and can't even run.
Labor efficiency can also be increased by about 7 times on average.
As these devices that increase productivity continue to come off the production line, they are transported to the ruins of the city.
The overall efficiency of recycling construction waste.
It is also increasing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Just one day.
The amount of construction waste processed per hour increased from 4 tons to 6 tons.
Follow this growth curve.
maybe.
Before the surface environment completely deteriorates.
It can really digest a large piece of the entire Jianghe City’s urban ruins.
“The situation is good.”
Watching production at the manufacturing center.
Every moment.
Brought about various substantial data growths to the entire Jianghe City.
Su Wu narrowed his eyes slightly.
I really enjoy the satisfaction brought by this thriving growth.
in the afternoon.
All matters inside the shelter have been handled.
Su Wu finally began to have the energy to pay attention to the outside world.
Taking into account the population trading intentions sent from the official shelter in Tumen City, as well as the rare safe environment on the surface today.
There wasn't a lot of weighing.
Su Wu quickly decided to form a caravan and set off for Tumen City first.
Because the manufacturing center is already fully booked with production tasks.
This caravan will not undergo many modifications.
They are basically made up of ordinary vehicles.
After careful selection.
Su Wu chose 20 buses that could carry 76 people and were still using fuel, 20 Type 5 ore transport vehicles, and armored vehicles that were modified from Type ore transport vehicles and equipped with electromagnetic guns and rocket launch slots as the main body of the entire caravan.
Needless to say, the bus is a tool used to pull people back.
20 buses are enough to bring back more than 1500 people.
Type I ore transport vehicles are responsible for carrying various materials necessary for long journeys.
For example, water, food, fuel, first aid medicines, various field tools, as well as quick-repair cement and steel that may be used to repair broken roads and bridge decks, etc.
It is also responsible for loading the 20 ordinary spider robots on board.
The armored vehicles served as armed escorts for the caravan.
The electromagnetic gun and rocket launcher above are both heavy weapons.
Enough to deal with most bandit threats.
"The biggest trouble when traveling far away for the first time is probably the twisted and broken roads along the way."
"Only relying on the vehicles currently in the caravan."
“It must be very difficult to handle.”
