Chapter 255 The Last Biological Home
A silent confrontation unfolds in an area that cannot be seen by the naked eye.
With the landing point of the biplane helicopter as the center, it spread out in circles.
Soon, the area within several kilometers was completely purified.
Subsequently, groups of combat drones began to take off and cruise further away.
The spider robots began to run towards the nearby shelters.
“Disinfection procedures have been initiated.”
“Disinfection perimeters are being measured.”
"The survey is complete and it is estimated that 6729 square kilometres need to be cleared."
"Estimated time: 49 hours and 27 minutes."
"Mapping of the shelter structure is in progress."
"Shelter No. 1 has been mapped successfully, Shelter No. 2——"
Under the condition that disinfection means are still very limited.
Eliminating the Rola virus is an extremely complicated matter.
If it is handled manually, the difficulty will be so high that it is almost impossible to achieve.
Only artificial intelligence can ensure that the process is rigorous enough to avoid any mistakes.
But even so, it still takes a long time.
"This land is truly filled with disasters."
"Humans are too fragile."
Looking at the map of Gangkai City, there is a large area that is dyed red.
There is also the reality that no signals from any survivors have been detected so far.
Su Wu couldn't help but sigh.
Some viruses that were not completely eliminated spread here, creating an uninhabited death zone.
It brought about a catastrophe in which hundreds of thousands of people died.
This scene is just like a piece of rock accidentally rolling down and crushing a nest of ants.
distance.
The layout of Gangkai City's shelter is similar to that of the original Jianghe City.
They are mainly located underground in urban areas.
But there is no subway.
The shelters here are generally not too large.
Even the official Shelter No. 1, which serves as the core, has only tens of thousands of people.
Use the explosives you carry to carry out directional blasting on the gate.
Several spider robots on the ground successfully entered the first underground shelter.
Since the virus outbreak happened not long ago, electricity here is still supplied normally.
The lights in the room are always on.
But the specific situation is not very good.
The corridors and halls were filled with traces of battles and explosions.
Human body parts can be seen everywhere.
These phenomena are obviously not caused by the virus.
It can only come from human struggle within itself.
A spider robot retrieved the surveillance footage of the shelter.
Only then did Su Wu know.
This stemmed from a civil unrest in a shelter.
After the virus outbreak, shelter executives realized the situation was irreversible.
The decision was made to completely seal off the entire shelter.
Don't let the virus leak out.
Some people were unwilling to wait for death and started a riot.
Trying to break out.
Then some thugs took advantage of the situation and started burning, killing and looting everywhere.
The entire shelter was plunged into a state of great turmoil.
But in the end, no one won the final victory.
All of them fell in the process of fighting.
“The main time of death was between 48 and 56 hours before.”
"The bodies were generally in a shriveled state, with their mass reduced by about one-third."
"The overall structure of the shelter was damaged by about 17%."
“The resources in the warehouse are well preserved.”
Not much attention has been paid to the stories behind these shelters.
Su Wu commanded the spider robots to search and organize the entire shelter.
Kill the virus and burn the bodies in a centralized manner.
Then take an inventory of the usable assets left in the shelter.
Although Gangkai City is just a small city that is more remote than Jianghe City and is not much different from a county town.
It is nearly 300 kilometers away from Jianghe City.
But after all, it can accommodate 600,000 to 700,000 people.
Various finished products resources are piled up like mountains.
It is much easier to transport these resources back than to work hard to mine and smelt them.
When the first shelter was cleared.
Other spider robots also began to enter the remaining shelters to explore.
A large amount of data began to converge at the farmyard control center.
Let's count the various basic resources and semi-finished resources.
The quantity continued to grow until it exceeded one million tons, and then gradually slowed down.
"Just the various finished steel products alone are almost as much as the entire reserves of a small iron mine."
I didn't expect that there were so many supplies in such an inconspicuous little city.
Su Wu couldn't help but look sideways.
The reserves of finished steel and iron ore are two completely different things.
The former is directly available.
The latter wanted to completely mine out the ore inside.
At the very least it will take several months to several years.
By then, it will still be a question whether the Earth still exists.
Not to mention taking advantage of it.
"There are also various rare metals and chemical raw materials."
"Together, that's enough to build three more biplane helicopters and a dozen Icebound-class land frigates."
This is no small amount.
You know, Jianghe City’s main resources are used to build farmyard shelters, robot armies, engineering vehicles, exoskeleton armor, etc.
Su Wu till now.
They used the extra resources that were barely squeezed out to build three Ice-class land frigates.
Biplane helicopters require the use of some more advanced raw materials in their construction.
Even Zhenhai City, once the second largest city in Dongzhou, could only afford to produce six aircraft.
If we can digest this batch of materials needed for the market opening.
foreseeable.
Su Wu's troops operating in the field will immediately expand several times.
"as far as I can tell."
"With the production and construction corps in the farmyards, the most basic power tools such as electric hammers have been fully popularized."
"More than half of the manufacturing center's productivity has been idle."
"Next."
"As long as there are enough resources, we can even build ten Iceberg-class land frigates at the same time."
“The production of snow transport vehicles can also be increased several times.”
“So, the top priority right now.”
"It should be revised to absorb as much of the materials as possible from the opening of the market."
“This will allow us to rapidly expand the scale of surface transportation.”
As for how to digest.
In fact, it is not as difficult as it looks.
Among the materials shipped to the market, there are more than one million tons.
The total amount of truly scarce materials is only a few dozen or a hundred tons.
All of these can be transported away by just a few trips back and forth by a biplane helicopter.
Once these materials are in place, the manufacturing center can directly start manufacturing biplane helicopters and Ice-class land frigates.
Then add on the profits earned from orders from Changming City and Zhenhai City.
if everything goes well.
Su Wu will be able to have a total of ten biplane helicopters in the coming days.
Thousands of tons of resources can be transported from Gangkai City to farmers' yards every day.
In this way, the more valuable precious metals and some chemical raw materials in all the materials in Gangkai City will be obtained.
It can also be easily transferred.
Then there are the ordinary metals, rubber, etc.
Then slowly transport them back by land, with a caravan of newly manufactured ice-class land frigates and snow transport vehicles responsible for transporting them back. Each of these caravans has a transport capacity of more than 6,000 tons.
If the scale is slightly increased, there will not be too much pressure to transport millions of tons of materials.
Finally, fuel stored locally does not need to be transported.
A batch of equipment was directly airlifted in and a thermal power station was built on the spot.
It was then used for mining and smelting ore near Gangkai City.
The remaining excess electricity was used to power the three high-energy batteries in Su Wu's hands, which had been strengthened with survival points and were now of little use.
Move to the farmyard.
Basically, most of it can be consumed.
Determine the next course of action.
The biplane helicopter that landed in the central square of Gangkai City immediately carried the first batch of 20 tons of scarce materials that had been looted.
Take off and return to Jianghe City.
It will be within the next day.
While transporting scarce resources to Jianghe City, Jianghe City’s power generation equipment, arc furnaces, and more robots and weapons and ammunition, including a universal engineering robot, were also sent to Gangkai City.
"Build power plants, set up fortifications, and modify the transport vehicles stored in the shelter."
"Then we will inherit the existing mines in Gangkai City and continue mining."
Su Wu is concerned about the future of Gangkai City.
Basically, it is designed as a remote unmanned resource point.
"In addition, it is necessary to strengthen the security protection of those temporary communication signal nodes."
"It's better to prepare two backup routes."
A distance of nearly 300 kilometers.
It’s not far, it’s not far, it’s not close, it’s not.
If the network is deployed normally.
At least four communication signal towers need to be erected along the way to connect them.
However, Su Wu's current development focus is still in the southeast area.
It is far from worth doing this just for some resources on the market.
The only solution left for Su Wu.
Only temporary communication signal nodes are used for transit.
at this time.
Su Wu extremely hoped to have a communications satellite of his own in space.
That way.
You no longer have to worry about communication distance and communication security.
"The research progress of the launch vehicle needs to be accelerated."
"We can ignore the satellite for now."
"At worst, I can use my survival points to strengthen a few of them for emergency use."
11 month 30 day.
After the city was opened, a preliminary base was established based on the local official shelter.
Su Wu encountered another thing.
They went to Changming City and Zhenhai City respectively to transport the materials they paid for the manufacture of biplane helicopters.
This was not a difficult problem for Su Wu.
The mass of a biplane helicopter is only about 26 tons.
Not much different from an ordinary snow transporter.
Therefore, the corresponding manufacturing materials are not too heavy.
Even considering that some raw materials need to be purified and fused.
In the end, it was only about forty or fifty tons.
With the speed and carrying capacity of the biplane helicopter, all the materials from Zhenhai City can be transported back in one day.
Of course, at this point, one point needs to be mentioned.
In fact, the responsibility for transporting materials should belong to Zhenhai City and Changming City.
But after they both offered to use one ton of silver to offset the transportation costs.
Su Wu simply took on all the transportation tasks.
In Su Wu's hands, one ton of silver was equivalent to 25 tons of coal.
And it is portable and can be easily brought back to the farmyard.
It takes a day or two in a biplane helicopter.
It can bring such high returns.
Su Wu had no reason to refuse.
9 o'clock in the morning.
A biplane helicopter that had just transported all the scarce resources from Gangkai City.
After quickly filling up the battery.
He also took a batch of mining equipment and flew towards Zhenhai City.
Zhenhai City is located just in the ocean to the east of the communication signal tower that Su Wu built on the seashore.
Before arrival.
You can place the mining equipment at the communication signal tower on the beach halfway.
To be used to mine the mines there.
For Su Wu, every bit of transportation capacity is very important nowadays.
We need to maximize its value and not waste it.
after an hour.
After completing unloading, the biplane helicopter appeared over an island 100 kilometers east of the coastline.
That island.
It was once the site of a famous park in Zhenhai City and is also the place with the highest altitude in the entire urban area.
And now, it is the only land in the entire Zhenhai City that is still above the sea level.
But except for land.
In fact, there are still many buildings in Zhenhai City that are over 60 meters high and were not destroyed by the initial tsunami.
They also all tower above the sea.
Scanned by the detector carried by the biplane helicopter.
Among those buildings that are exposed above the sea.
There are still many signs of life activities today.
“I don’t know what kind of people they are, and they still live there.”
Su Wu deliberately asked the biplane helicopter to give a close-up of those buildings.
The temperature in the air was close to minus 50 degrees Celsius, and large areas of floating ice began to condense on the ocean.
There are even situations where cold waves with temperatures below minus 100 degrees Celsius may hit at any time.
These people still want to live in those buildings.
He can truly be called a warrior fighting against nature.
Waited in the air for a while.
Somewhere on the island below, lights began to appear.
Prompts the biplane helicopter to land.
Su Wu maneuvered the biplane helicopter closer and found that it was a large helipad.
Next to it is a large lifting platform that can be opened and closed at any time, leading directly to the underground shelter.
Judging from the snow around the apron, it has been cleared cleanly.
This helipad is obviously used frequently.
It should be one of Zhenhai City’s main windows for external material exchanges.
As the helicopter stopped.
Immediately, staff from Zhenhai City came forward and moved the supplies that had been prepared long ago onto the helicopter.
Take advantage of this time.
Su Wu turned on the scanning equipment on the biplane helicopter again.
This scan.
He suddenly realized.
More than two-thirds of the island's interior has been excavated.
A shelter space for people to live in was built.
And in the ocean outside the island.
There are still a large number of fish and other marine life living there.
The high temperature that lasted for many days and the severe cold now.
Obviously, these creatures in the shallow sea have not been completely exterminated.
"So it seems."
"The most lively place in the world right now is actually at the bottom of the sea."
Suddenly, Su Wu realized.
My previous impression may be a little biased.
The environment in cities flooded by tsunamis may not be that bad.
in contrast.
They may also be the relatively safest places in the end times.
And, home to the last remaining wildlife on Earth.
