Chapter 262 Geosynchronous Orbit Satellite
Chapter 262 Geosynchronous Orbit Satellite
Take your eyes away from the caravan.
Su Wu's gaze shifted to the nearest communication signal tower.
At this time, the communication signal tower was already outside the area covered by the blizzard and cold current.
Looking out from its position, the sky seemed bright for a rare moment.
It seems like a paradise in the end times.
According to Su Wu's plan.
The importance of the location of the communication signal tower is even greater than that of all the occupied subsidiary shelters in the surrounding area.
They were the central nodes of the area ruled by Su Wu.
Therefore, after this period of development.
Next to the communication signal tower, the once simple two- or three-story watchtower has been replaced by a larger five-story fortress.
The team stationed here.
The size of the reinforced company has also increased to 30 soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor, 100 spider robots, 200 robot dogs, and three heavily-armored main combat spider robots.
Of course, these armed forces are not simply used to guard communication signal towers.
When necessary, they will also serve as backup forces to support the surrounding areas of the signal tower and the affiliated shelters controlled by Su Wu.
Zoomed in map of the 5th floor fortress structure.
Su Wu's eyes swept over them one by one.
The first floor is an activity hall and restaurant, the second floor is a radar warning center and dormitory, the third floor is an armory, and the fourth floor is a power generation room, water tower and general material warehouse.
Then there are the firing points consisting of automatic machine guns, electromagnetic guns and rocket launchers.
There is also the arc defense array, which represents the highest technology in Su Wu's hands today.
This configuration.
Even if the enemy sends a division, it may not be easy to conquer it.
"If you really can't beat him."
"There is a back-up plan."
"Call in air support."
Su Wu's sight fell on the small runway in front of the 5th floor fortress.
With the carrying capacity of thousands of Qingkong-class transport drones in Su Wu's hands.
Thousands of spider robots can be airdropped for support in one round.
The fleet of biplane helicopters can also urgently deliver more than 70 heavily-armored main battle spider robots to the front line at one time.
And as long as you can survive the first wave of impact.
The subsequent steady flow of support will only increase.
In the end, the situation essentially evolved into a struggle between the attacking forces and the main force of Jianghe City.
However, all of this is just a pre-planned backup plan.
Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely to encounter such extreme situations in the end times.
What is more likely is a super earthquake.
The entire communication signal tower and the 5-story fortress were swallowed deep into the ground in one gulp.
Su Wu was helpless in that situation.
With his current technological capabilities, he is still unable to build the isolated sentry tower to a level that can withstand the power of nature.
Took a look around.
No missing areas have been found yet.
Su Wu withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
But in the end, considering that the material reserves here at the communication signal tower are not abundant.
The plan is to send them an extra batch of fuel and food the next time a caravan passes by there.
For these soldiers who may encounter unexpected danger at any time.
Su Wu couldn't do much else, but at least he could give them treatment far beyond that of ordinary people in terms of daily food and entertainment.
Behind the communication tower.
The only places that deserved Su Wu's special attention were the large and small mines and the occupied affiliated shelters.
Today, the total number of mines controlled by Su Wu has reached 207.
Although due to the fact that a long period of time had passed, Su Wu's main energy was focused on building caravans and transporting finished materials to various affiliated shelters.
Investment in the mine is extremely limited.
Many mines are still in the preliminary exploration stage.
Not even a piece of ore was produced.
But after all, the number of mines is there.
The amount of finished materials that could be provided to Su Wu every day still reached 1.3 tons.
And even this is still limited by current transportation conditions.
This is because the excavated ore cannot be transported to a nearby shelter in time for primary smelting processing.
If the transportation problem is solved.
The mine's production capacity soared to more than 3.8 tons per day on the spot.
As for the attached shelter.
Except for fuel, most of the valuable resources in the subsidiary shelters in the southeast area have been looted.
Then think about acquiring resources on a large scale.
The only consideration is the urban ruins surrounding the shelter, or even the demolition of the shelter itself.
If nothing unexpected happens, this should be one of Su Wu's main sources of material income in the future.
"It's time to think about developing a more efficient recycling tool."
Different from the nearby Jianghe City ruins.
The city ruins outside are dozens of kilometers away at the nearest one.
Continuing to use the original engineering vehicles for recycling is very risky.
It is very likely that the construction vehicles will be damaged by a passing cold current before they reach their destination.
Moreover, even if nothing unexpected happens, the surface environment is deteriorating at the current rate.
It is estimated that it will not work for long before it is declared scrapped.
The best way.
Still based on the framework of the snow transport vehicle, a more efficient recovery tool was developed.
Let professional vehicles do professional work.
Record this idea in a journal awaiting research.
Su Wu continued to glance at the affiliated shelters scattered throughout the southeast region and around Yu'an City.
In those shelters.
Nothing unexpected happened.
As early as when Su Wu governed Jianghe City, he had gradually explored a mature management system.
Now, with the establishment of communication signal towers and the deployment of personal Bluetooth headsets and communication bracelets.
The AI manages these newly added satellite shelters.
It also looks incredibly smooth.
Basically anything is within the range that it can handle independently.
This includes, to a certain extent, small-scale riots, mutual support between affiliated shelters, and even diplomacy with other surrounding shelters that are not one's own.
Even criminal trials, which are originally more difficult, are difficult.
Because there are enough precedents to refer to.
The AI also does a pretty fair and good job.
Rarely would it arouse large-scale opposition among the residents of the shelter, prompting Su Wu to conduct a review.
However, this is the end of the world after all.
The various affiliated shelters vary in size and are basically in a nearly closed environment for a long time.
All kinds of accidents and disasters are hard to guard against.
Even if artificial intelligence is managed well, thousands of people die every day due to various accidents.
This is normal loss in the last days.
They can also be regarded as victims of Su Wu's strategic plan of transporting materials first and then transferring the population.
His gaze did not linger for even a second on the people who died unexpectedly.
After Su Wu briefly confirmed that there were no major problems in the affiliated shelter, he withdrew his gaze.
Finished today's daily work.
Stand up.
Su Wu left the control center.
Came to the garden on the 4th underground floor.
It was the place where Su Wu usually relaxed.
Today, the garden occupies the entire core area of the 4th underground floor.
The area reaches 196250 square meters.
In addition, the small woods on the edge of the area have grown to a considerable size under the catalysis of plant growth agents.
Being in it, look around.
One can even feel a sense of vastness.
At the same time, with the establishment of the super factory, it has undertaken the vast majority of production tasks.
The 3D printers in the manufacturing center can also free up some precious high-end productivity to produce seamless ultra-clear panels.
Throughout the garden.
The surrounding walls and ceiling.
Therefore, they are all inlaid with a 16k display screen.
It can simulate and display dynamic blue sky, white clouds, sun, and horizon.
The feeling it gives people is basically no different from that on the ground.
Just want to maintain this level of environment.
The power consumption for the display alone is over 6 kWh per hour.
Not to mention the special micro robots that provide light, water, nutrients to various plants in the garden, as well as tasks such as loosening the soil and pollination.
It can be said that the entire garden is burning enough energy and materials to sustain tens of thousands of people every minute and every second.
“It’s nice to be able to enjoy this kind of scenery after the end of the world.”
"It's a reward for all the hard work."
Standing in front of an artificial stream, looking ahead at the endless sea of gorgeous flowers under the artificial simulated sunlight.
All the fatigue and tiredness in Su Wu's heart seemed to be washed away.
This garden can even be called a small world.
Before the end of the world, for Su Wu, who was just an ordinary person, this was something that was completely out of reach.
But now, in this post-apocalyptic world, every person is struggling on the poverty line of hunger.
But it became his own back garden.
The wonders of life are like a dream.
Look back.
Su Wu turned his head and looked at the girl holding a flower basket beside him.
Sister Chenxin is still busy in the laboratory.
Therefore, this time, Wei Manman temporarily acted as a maid to accompany him.
Wei Manman today.
Wearing a simply modified pink Hanfu.
Against the backdrop of her rosy cheeks illuminated by artificial sunlight.
There is a certain cuteness and gentleness that is unique to young girls.
He found himself being watched by Su Wu.
Wei Manman lowered her head nervously, her heart beating slightly faster.
He was alone facing Su Wu, the master who could decide his life's destiny with just a word.
The girl inevitably felt a little nervous and uneasy.
I couldn't help but try hard to recall whether I had behaved in any rash way.
"come over."
Su Wu said softly.
"Oh."
Wei Manman responded weakly and approached more helplessly.
time.
It gradually passed as Su Wu developed rapidly and step by step.
January 1, the surface of a farmyard.
The edge of many temporary factory buildings.
The newly built magnificent space launch center.
A huge rocket with a diameter of 3.7 meters and a height of 70 meters is standing quietly on the launch pad.
“The weather conditions are good.”
"The wind speed is 2.7."
"No valid threats detected."
The wide-area radar attached to the laser defense array brings the latest environmental dynamics to the spaceport.
The rocket was launched and the countdown began.
“After so much research.”
"I hope nothing goes wrong."
Standing in the control center on the underground level.
Su Wu looked from a distance at the rocket standing in the center of the space launch site, which was undergoing its final manual inspection by the spider robots.
A rare feeling of uneasiness and excitement about the unknown welled up in my heart.
In order to build such a giant rocket.
Su Wu invested countless resources into it.
Even the spiritual energy used in the research was burned by hundreds of points.
It is much more laborious than researching other technologies before.
But the good thing is.
Now it’s finally paying off.
As for the satellite it carries, not too many research resources were wasted.
Because the satellite was basically smashed down by Su Wu, it is comparable to the survival point of building three micro-mechas.
The result is forced upon us.
It has nothing to do with the research itself.
At the same time, after paying such a huge upgrade price.
This satellite was named Eden.
The performance is also extremely powerful.
Its main function is communication.
After being sent into geosynchronous orbit.
It will be able to cover about one-third of the earth's area.
At the same time, it supports the normal Internet needs of hundreds of millions of people.
Reconnaissance.
The resolution can reach 0.05 meters, which can clearly identify vehicles on the ground and even the specific faces of humans.
Comparable to the world's most advanced military satellite.
However, this has little effect on the surface of the earth which has been shrouded in dark clouds for many years in the end times.
Once there are clouds and blizzards blocking the view.
Satellites can only detect a limited number of moving targets, and the accuracy is greatly reduced.
Defense.
Because of the upgrade of the survival point, the entire surface is covered with a layer of nanomaterial of unknown composition.
Even on the outer layer, there is a weak energy shield that can be activated actively.
The Eden satellite is incredibly resistant to cosmic rays, physical impacts, and more.
Even if it is hit head-on by a meteorite.
The most it can do is bounce it off its original track without affecting its internal operation.
And even if it is bounced off the track.
The Eden satellite itself also has a certain degree of mobility.
You can slowly return to your original position.
The survivability is almost full.
In addition to the basic functions of these satellites.
The Eden Satellite also has an attack capability named Skyfall.
Able to slowly accumulate energy through unfolded solar panels.
Then launch a long-range strike on the ground.
But this kind of blow.
Each time, a special tungsten steel warhead weighing more than 20 tons is required.
This thing does not exist on this rocket.
The rocket made by Su Wu.
It can send the main body of the Eden satellite to a synchronous orbit more than 3 kilometers away in one go.
It's almost reached the limit.
It is impossible to carry an additional 20-ton warhead.
It requires Su Wu to make a special rocket for it for a second launch.
Then, it will be allowed to merge with the Eden satellite in the synchronous orbit.
This kind of difficulty.
It is slightly higher than simply launching a satellite.
And the chance of failure is not low.
Once it fails.
This means that the resources equivalent to building ten Ice-class land frigates have been completely wasted.
