Chapter 259 Super Factory
Chapter 259 Super Factory
The market was opened in Gang, and there were seven caravans specifically responsible for transporting supplies there.
"The supplies for Gangkai City have almost been moved."
"The caravans over there can just be moved to the vicinity of Yu'an City."
With the transport capacity of seven caravans, more than 4 tons of supplies can be transported from Gangkai Market to farmers' courtyards every day.
After more than half a month of continuous transportation.
All the metals, chemical raw materials, etc. in the entire Gangkai market have basically been moved away.
Even second-hand household appliances that are still usable.
Didn't let it go either.
They were packed together and shipped to Jianghe City.
These will be the goods for sale that will be available for the residents of the shelter to choose and purchase after the market is opened in the future.
What is left now are only a large amount of fuel, urban buildings on the surface that are not too seriously damaged, and a dozen large and small mines that have just begun to resume operations or have just been discovered and have not yet been excavated.
"The total daily output of those mines is only about one or two thousand tons now."
"Although as construction continues, production capacity will continue to grow and is expected to reach 10,000 tons per day."
"But that's all for the future."
"For the time being, at least within the next month, there is no need to pay special attention to the opening of the market."
"We can now focus on Yu'an City."
The total population of Yu'an City and its surrounding areas exceeds 30 million.
Jianghe City currently has a population of just over 10 million.
Want to eat it completely.
It's a bit like a snake swallowing an elephant.
In addition, the straight-line distance from Jianghe City is generally more than 700 to 800 kilometers.
Even before the end of the world.
It is extremely difficult to transfer the population there to Jianghe City.
Not to mention in the present time after the apocalypse.
The difficulty is as high as moving mountains and seas.
"Strategies for the area around Yu'an City."
"The overall idea is to first occupy the city and claim sovereignty, and then slowly transfer it in the order of transporting high-end resources and basic resources first, and then transporting the population."
The transaction with Yu'an City was, after all, just a private negotiation.
The only benefit is to gain their tacit consent.
In the chaotic environment of the end times, actual constraints are extremely fragile.
Want to ensure that nothing unexpected happens.
Su Wu must gain control of those refuges as quickly as possible.
We have to bring them all under our own armed protection.
And to do this.
It is not only necessary to improve the transportation capacity of the caravan, but also to expand the military force appropriately.
"I want to rule 30 million people stably."
“At least tens of thousands of spider robots and humanoid service robots are needed.”
"There are also a certain number of heavily-armored main battle spider robots and multi-winged drones that serve as the main force of the battle."
“And so many production tasks.”
“It only relies on the current manufacturing center and the ordinary industrial production areas that support it.”
“It takes too long.”
"So next, the manufacturing center can no longer fully manufacture ice-class land frigates and snow transport vehicles."
"At least half of the production capacity must be freed up for the production of production line equipment."
"To improve overall productivity."
“Then we can use the increased productivity to manufacture robots.”
This is still the idea of sharpening the knife before chopping wood.
After occupying and looting shelters everywhere and obtaining a huge amount of finished resources in a short period of time.
The conditions that restricted Su Wu's development speed once again reversed.
It’s back to the problem of insufficient productivity.
And this time.
Su Wu did not intend to continue with small-scale operations and simply add a few production lines.
Instead, it is preparing to build a fully automated super manufacturing plant.
Increase the overall industrial productivity of the farmyard to the current achievable limit in one step.
On the metal platform next to the operating table, open the holographic map of the underground shelter in the farmyard.
A projection of a huge building covering a huge area.
Appeared in front of Su Wu.
The entire Jianghe City has a population of over ten million, almost half of which is the labor force.
In addition, engineering machinery and equipment account for more than 80% of the total.
We worked day and night for more than a month.
By now, the 7th underground floor of the entire farmyard has finally been completed, from the innermost 2nd ring to the outermost 7th ring, about three-quarters of the area.
The total construction area reaches 2960 million square meters.
This is just the space that has been built.
Its size has already exceeded the combined size of Jianghe City’s largest official Shelter No. 1 and Shelter No. 2.
While it is large enough to accommodate the current population of Jianghe City, which is over 10 million people.
The remaining space can also accommodate entertainment venues that can fully meet the daily leisure and relaxation activities of more than 10 million people.
In other words, as long as the supply of basic daily necessities is not a problem.
Just based on the three-quarters of the area on the seventh underground floor that has already been built, more than 7 million people can live and reproduce there stably for generations.
The main purpose that Su Wu originally set, to build a super shelter to accommodate the entire population of Jianghe City, has been basically completed.
"At the current construction speed."
"In ten days at the latest, we will be able to excavate the remaining quarter of the area."
"By then, there will be a new space of about 1000 million square meters."
"Should be enough to build an initial Gigafactory."
"And then adding the various equipment needed to produce the super factory will also take some time."
“Both sides can be done at the same time.”
"That's how it works."
"Ten days later, when the excavation of the seventh underground floor is officially completed."
"The Gigafactory should also be able to be built almost simultaneously and can officially start operation."
This is for Su Wu.
It will be a huge improvement.
Truly transform the entire farmyard shelter into a large-scale industrial production base.
By then, production capacity will explode.
Perhaps within a short period of time, most of the massive resources looted from various shelters can be digested.
Produced tens of thousands of robots and hundreds of caravans.
It truly has the ability to swallow up the population and resources of one or even several provinces.
Of course, during the ten days of building the Gigafactory.
Su Wu didn't just do nothing.
Seven caravans set up shop in Gang.
Four of them will use this time to carry out simple repairs on the nearly 800-kilometer road from Jianghe City to the vicinity of Yu'an City.
Even if it is not repaired, it will not affect the passage of the caravan.
But there is still some difference between a rough road full of cracks and a smooth road.
The latter can somewhat increase the travel speed of some caravans.
And this speed is reflected in transportation efficiency.
It is no less than increasing the size of the caravan by several dozen percentage points.
Three more caravans.
They will act as pioneers and first take over those shelters around Yu'an City that are still under the control of the authorities.
Then use it as a base.
While strengthening the defense on the spot and integrating the order of the internal population, they also investigated the situation of the surrounding forces and formulated a battle plan.
It will be convenient for the subsequent large troops to arrive.
It can wipe out all resistance forces in the shortest possible time.
These things seem simple.
However, due to the long distance and the staggering scale of the shelters to be taken over, the process was bound to be extremely cumbersome.
It may not be completely fixed even after 10 days.
“We’ll finish as much as we can first.”
"When necessary."
"We can also allocate more than half of the 26 caravans active in the southeast region to provide support."
"As for the remaining parts, we will slowly deal with them after the Gigafactory is completed and we have a sufficient number of robot corps."
In order to absorb the tens of millions of people and resources of a province.
Su Wu was willing to show enough patience and invest enough upfront costs.
“In addition, three more communication signal towers will be built.”
"Cover all the major areas around Yu'an City."
“This is a prerequisite for all action.”
"Otherwise, when the follow-up robot army moves in, it will be even more troublesome."
Communication has always been Su Wu's biggest weakness.
Once the contact with Jianghe City headquarters is cut off.
The combat effectiveness of all Su Wu's robots operating in the field will be greatly reduced.
It can only run according to a fixed program set in advance.
The risk factor is maxed out.
So, before launching large-scale foreign operations.
Temporary communication lines must be eliminated and more stable communication signal towers must be laid.
Of course, even communication towers.
It is not absolutely safe.
The best way to communicate is to use communication satellites in planetary orbit.
for this.
There have been some breakthroughs in the current research on Su Wu.
Once the super factory is completed, we can start relevant attempts.
The main development plans for the future have been determined.
Su Wu could not rest, as there were still a lot of less important matters waiting for him to deal with.
For example, in the southeast region, there are more than 200 mines of various sizes.
According to the difficulty and value of mining, different labor forces are allocated for graded development.
Further improvements are being made to the 7th underground level of the farmyard, which is already a huge underground city.
Increased greenery, as well as through ceilings above street level.
Build rail trains for short-distance commuting within the shelter.
In order to cope with the huge amount of electricity required by the super factory, small nuclear power plants will be equipped with additional generating units in advance.
These things also have far-reaching consequences.
Ordinary people, even Chen Xin, cannot make the decision, and Su Wu has to make the final decision personally.
And as these things progress.
Su Wu's overall strength began to grow rapidly at a speed that outsiders could not imagine.
From one field to another, little by little, we are approaching and surpassing other super cities.
February 2035 AD.
After the first New Year in the end times.
on the surface.
The cold wind still blows hard.
The temperature slowly dropped from an average of over -40 degrees Celsius to over -50 degrees Celsius.
Gradually, the world where everything is withering is pushed into an even colder abyss.
But in this period when everything should be quiet.
In the vicinity of Yu'an City.
That vast plain area covering hundreds of thousands of square kilometers.
But it was unusually lively.
On average, several to a dozen battles of varying intensity break out every day.
Rockets and missiles carrying 3rd and even 4th generation high explosives.
Creating earth-shattering explosions.
The high temperature heat like the scorching sun is shot deep into the ground covered with ice and snow.
Hundreds of people lost their lives and many shelters collapsed.
Many people are in constant fear but are powerless to change.
Because they once regarded Yu'an City as their pillar.
No reaction to this.
It was as if they didn't see the robot army that had already arrived at their doorstep.
And Yu'an City just stood by and watched.
This in turn accelerated the undermining of the rebels' will to resist.
Soon, after several days of large-scale and intense fighting.
The frequency of battles breaking out on this plain gradually began to decrease.
Large numbers of civilian shelters began to either actively or passively submit to the banner of the robot army that claimed to be from Jianghe City.
Countless powerful people who once abused their power in the shelter.
Overnight.
Lost all capital.
Certain evildoers were secretly executed.
Some people whose crimes were not punishable by death were burdened with a heavy debt of contribution points.
Integrate into the group of other ordinary people.
Together with them, work under the command of artificial intelligence.
Jianghe City, a farmyard.
The control center on the underground floor.
[Special Forces Team 037 has completed its mission.]
[Taiping Prison Refuge has been captured.]
[It was detected that the last human member of Special Forces Team 037, Qin Kai, was killed in this battle.]
[According to the preset rules, the establishment of the 037th Special Forces Team will be permanently cancelled.]
[The remaining surviving robots are incorporated into other combat units nearby.]
Lines of inconspicuous handwriting.
Appearing on the constantly updated battlefield log.
Su Wu's gaze lingered on it for a moment.
He remembered the name Qin Kai.
That was the captain of a special team from the Xuefeng Mercenary Group, whom Su Wu had personally persuaded to surrender.
At that time, in order to minimize unnecessary losses.
Su Wu promised that if they surrendered, he would pardon all the crimes of Qin Kai and the special team he led.
And give them treatment that is several times higher than that of ordinary people.
And afterwards.
Su Wu did not break his promise in terms of treatment.
There was no open investigation into the crimes they had committed.
But secretly.
However, Su Wu organized them all into a force called the Special Forces, but which was actually a death squad.
Specially responsible for carrying out the most dangerous combat missions.
And under this deliberate targeting.
The special forces team led by Qin Kai was losing members at a very fast rate.
to today.
Accompanied by Qin Kai's death.
The last remaining member of the Snow Wind Mercenary Group also disappeared completely from the world.
"Anyway."
"It's still a broken promise after all."
Su Wu sighed silently.
I feel a little melancholy, but I don't regret it.
Everyone needs to pay for the crimes they committed in the past. This is true for the Xuefeng Mercenaries, and Qin Kai should also do so.
Withdrawing his gaze, he operated a few times on the console.
Permanently delete a previously preset command.
[Amnesty Order: After a special team member reaches 500 merits, this order will be automatically triggered and redeemed. They will be eligible for retirement.]
[Name: Qin Kai]
[Position: Captain of Special Forces Team 037.]
[Merit: 497+4.]
[This battle is settled, and you get 4 points of merit reward. The triggering conditions have been met, and the amnesty order will be automatically exchanged.]
[The amnesty is in effect.]
