Chapter 260 Jianghe City in its heyday
Chapter 260 Jianghe City in its heyday
Yu'an City is 75 km away.
Central Temple Sanctuary.
The smoke of war has just cleared.
The blazing fire in the shelter's building was gradually extinguished by the robots that entered in an orderly manner.
He Chen carefully mingled among the crowd, secretly observing these uninvited guests.
The outbreak of war came without any warning.
The process was so short that it seemed to be over in the blink of an eye.
There was only a loud explosion and gunfire that lasted for several minutes.
He Chen, who was staying in the shelter, didn't even have time to figure out whether it was an earthquake or some other event.
They discovered that the rulers of the shelter had been replaced by foreign metal machines with a cold black appearance.
Then, the shelter's top brass and their lackeys.
Even the leader of the working group that He Chen was in could not escape.
All of them were caught without exception.
After a brief interrogation and verdict measured in seconds.
Those who should be shot should be shot, and those who should be imprisoned should be imprisoned.
It may not be accurate to say that he was detained.
In fact, those robots made their judgment.
As long as the result is not killing on the spot, they will be given an anklet that will not affect their movements, and will be clearly informed that there is a bomb installed inside.
If you try to escape, you will be detonated.
Then I will ignore them.
It seemed that from that moment on, they were truly treated as ordinary people like everyone else.
"Our sanctuary has changed."
There was still some confusion on He Chen's face at this time.
Unable to react.
It only took about ten minutes.
He once thought that the mountain that would weigh on his head for the rest of his life and that he would never be able to get rid of until his death was gone so suddenly.
Even the one that had been in the public at the shelter.
The son of the shelter director, who had loudly announced that anyone who dared to make him unhappy now would be chopped to pieces when he inherited his father's position.
Now it has turned into a cold corpse lying on the ground with a hole in its head.
The contrast was so great that He Chen almost thought he was dreaming.
But soon.
A humanoid robot then handed him a pair of small Bluetooth earphones and a metal bracelet.
Feel the cold touch in your hands.
He Chen finally realized that all this was true.
then.
Follow the instructions given by the voice in your headphones.
He Chen obediently began to follow the crowd and do various different tasks.
Maintain the normal operation of the shelter equipment, count the supplies in the warehouse, sort and pack them, and then transport them to the basement level of the shelter.
These tasks are very tedious.
There are many underlying principles in it, but He Chen actually only has a vague understanding of them.
But following the instructions from the voice in the Bluetooth headset, the specific implementation was surprisingly simple.
There is no need for him to have any personal thinking and judgment ability at all.
Just follow the instructions without thinking.
Then, it’s time to rest.
He Chen had the most sumptuous meal he had ever had since entering the shelter.
There is rice, meat, even tomatoes, stewed radishes, etc.
From those dishes, He Chen could barely tell that the tomatoes should have come from canned vegetables stored in the warehouse.
The meat is frozen pork and beef from before the apocalypse.
The radishes may have been picked on-site from the heavily guarded botanical garden at the bottom of the shelter.
"Are you not going to live like this?"
“Such a luxury.”
He Chen couldn't help but feel a little worried.
The food tasted a bit tasteless.
This meal is sumptuous, but what if it is the last meal in your life?
That would be too miserable.
Soon, the actions of the robot invaders further increased his concerns in this regard.
A long trackless train that seems to have no end.
Appeared at the door of the shelter.
The robots began to load the packed supplies in the shelter, box by box.
Later on, even the finished steel products, daily electrical appliances, etc. that could not be packed in the warehouse.
No one was spared and all were transferred indiscriminately.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a house being ransacked.
There was a commotion among the residents of the shelter who were watching this scene.
Everyone couldn't help but have similar thoughts as He Chen.
But afraid of the weapons in the hands of those robots.
They could only be angry but not speak out, and had no way to resist openly.
He Chen watched anxiously as the robots emptied most of the shelter.
But what finally made him feel relieved was...
The robots did not touch the shelter's most critical life-support equipment and food reserves.
Even a lot of fuel for power generation was left.
He Chen initially estimated that it would be enough for them to use for at least several months.
This is good news.
This means that the robots have no intention of abandoning them.
Because if they really intend to give up, they will only leave enough supplies for one or two days at most to show their kindness.
Instead of throwing away several months' worth of survival supplies in vain.
Wasted on a bunch of people who are about to die.
That night.
Accompanied by a huge helicopter, it landed again at the door of the shelter.
After taking away the valuables that have been packed separately.
He Chen learned about their future arrangements from the voice in the Bluetooth headset that had been directing their actions.
"Receive job training and militia training for one month and three days."
"Then take a train called a caravan and head to Jianghe City to settle down."
He Chen was no stranger to Jianghe City.
Although before the end of the world, it was just an unknown third-tier small city.
But in recent days, through the sudden appearance of network signals.
Many people in the shelter who had cell phones learned that Jianghe City was a new mega city with a population of over ten million.
There is an extremely large shelter there.
Judging from the data alone, moving to Jianghe City is not a bad thing.
Because integrating into a social group with a large population base will definitely make it easier to find a job than it is now.
Supplies are also destined to become more abundant.
It's not easy to starve to death.
The only concern.
It’s just that Jianghe City is too far away.
It requires crossing a distance of nearly 800 kilometers and passing through the lands of several provinces in between.
This is a long journey in the last days.
Can they really get there safely?
Taking advantage of his status as a porter, he quietly stood near the exit of the shelter.
He Chen looked at the huge helicopter gradually taking off under the gloomy sky.
His eyes were full of confusion about the future.
In these last days.
He is an ordinary person.
Whether facing disaster or man-made disaster, there is no room for resistance.
You can only go with the flow and follow the arrangements of those big shots.
A huge biplane helicopter.
After the Zhongmiao shelter took off, more valuable resources were added from several small and medium-sized shelters in the surrounding areas.
Until the entire cabin is filled and the transportation limit of 20 tons is reached.
Then he turned and flew towards Jianghe City.
And the huge commotion it brings.
Not only did it catch the attention of the surrounding shelters, large and small, it also alarmed the nearby Yu'an City.
Yu'an City.
External defense radar monitoring room.
A young supervisor looked at the aircraft on the screen that was emitting signals in a swaggering manner.
He couldn't help but frown.
“Just watch them plunder resources.”
"Shouldn't we give some warning?"
Those shelters.
After all, it is nominally under the jurisdiction of Yu'an City.
It was just robbed by outsiders for no reason.
It's somewhat hard to accept.
"Of course I can't give a warning."
"Do you think their superiors don't know about this big move?"
A colleague of the young executive patted him on the shoulder.
Signal him to calm down.
"Just prepare a good report and submit it."
"Don't worry about anything else."
"But--"
"Those resources are enough to improve the lives of many residents in Yu'an City."
"Whatever the reason, this is too much."
The young executive was still somewhat resentful.
"It has nothing to do with the quality of residents' lives."
“You have to focus in the right direction.”
The colleague shook his head and forwarded a piece of news about Jianghe City posted on the internal network to the young supervisor.
Signaling him to think carefully.
The young supervisor opened it and took a look.
It was found that the biological printer developed by Jianghe City can effectively treat terminal illnesses and prolong life.
There is no truly stupid person who can be the head of an important department in a super city like Yu'an City.
After just a little thought, the young manager understood the meaning behind this.
The expression on his face froze.
The whole person was like a deflated ball, feeling helpless.
"It seems that the lives of the big shots above are still so precious."
Seven or eight hundred kilometers away.
A farmyard in Jianghe City.
The first underground floor is the control center.
Su Wu stood in front of the huge holographic projection map, watching the various information dynamics on it.
His expression was calm yet full of deep thought.
The recent commotion seems to be a bit too much.
With the completion of the super factory.
Su Wu's industrial productivity achieved the largest increase in history.
Building snow transporters no longer requires final assembly in temporary factories on the surface.
You can go directly to the super factory on the seventh underground floor.
Complete every step from part grinding to final shaping.
This is highly automated production.
The production of snow transport vehicles can reach more than 500 units per day.
And besides that.
The Gigafactory has enough capacity to take on almost all other production tasks at the same time.
So much so that the Gigafactory was completed within just a few days.
All the resources that Su Wu had looted from Gangkai City and countless large and small shelters in the southeast region in recent times were consumed.
In exchange, the number of biplane helicopters increased to 15, thousands of Blue Sky-class transport drones, and nearly spider robots were obtained.
And most importantly, the number of caravans has doubled compared to last month, reaching eighty.
And a lineup of this size.
After one round of transportation, nearly 50 tons of resources from other places can be transported back to the farmyard.
It can also simultaneously transport more than 10 spider robots to the southeast region and surrounding areas of Yu'an City at one time.
In the past, moving mountains and seas was an exaggerated metaphor.
So now, it is an adjective for Su Wu.
Su Wu really had the ability to move mountains and fill up the sea to a certain extent.
Even if the mountain he removed was small, the area of the ocean he filled was insignificant compared to the entire ocean.
But it is still a tremendous force that shakes the world in the eyes of human beings.
"Next, the only place where resources can be obtained most easily is the area around Yu'an City."
“That part of the resources.”
"We can't continue to squander it so easily."
"We need to save it up to build Pioneer-class destroyers and transform base vehicles."
"And wait until there is another breakthrough in technology in the future."
“Carry out large-scale upgrades to existing equipment.”
"And in this way."
"In the near future, it is estimated that it will be impossible to continue to manufacture Iceberg-class land frigates."
"The production of snow transport vehicles may also have to be controlled below 200 vehicles per day."
After collecting the finished resources from the shelter.
The only relatively easy channels for obtaining supplies are the city ruins and various mines on the surface.
All of these require a lot of manpower and material resources.
Then it will take time to slowly transform into the resources Su Wu needs.
As for those official sanctuaries of the Lord.
For now.
It was difficult for Su Wu to eat them.
Not every super city is like Yu'an City.
Indifference to the affiliated shelters under surrounding jurisdictions.
When Su Wu was conducting a large-scale raid on those ill-reputed private shelters within the coverage area of communication signal towers in the southeast region.
He has received warnings from many super cities along the way.
He was not allowed to expand the scope of his attack further.
In addition to the warnings from the super city, there were also warnings from the federal government on the other side of the planet.
Also sent inquiries.
He was asked not to use force at will, otherwise he would be regarded as a rebel force.
Under these tangible and intangible pressures.
Unless Su Wu really intends to challenge the whole world alone, he must restrain himself no matter what.
"The current development should have come to an end for the time being."
"But we can still try to expand the caravan's organization."
"Let each caravan be led by one Ice-class land frigate and 50 snow transport vehicles."
"Transformed into leading 100 snow trucks."
"In this way, the total transport capacity of the caravan can be increased to more than 80 tons."
"All high-value resources around Yu'an City can be transported back in a short period of time."
"Then we can turn to actually transferring the population."
And after the 30 million people around Yu'an City are transferred here, plus some refugees from the southeast region.
Su Wu’s farmyard shelter.
There will be a population of over half a billion.
By then, we will no longer have to expand outward or plunder resources.
Keep running the business well.
Su Wu is still able to slowly build the most powerful force on the entire planet through technological advantages.
