Chapter 294 On the Eve of Losing Control
These vehicles and aircraft.

It is not only a means of transportation, but can also be transformed into a combat vehicle at any time.

The materials used to make them also cover most categories from rare to common.

It can maximize the conversion of resources into finished products.

And there is a plan.

Su Wu was quite decisive in his actions.

He first stored the resources in the warehouse, preparing to use them after future technological breakthroughs.

In addition to retaining the necessary materials for continuing to transform the base vehicle and build the unfinished Scourge-class Land Cruiser.

All invested in the super factory.

The nature of this action.

This is equivalent to giving up storing food when resources are limited, and instead choosing to use them to build weapons.

The effect is also quite obvious.

This will allow Su Wu to directly manufacture approximately 30 more Ice-class land frigates and nearly 4000 snow transport vehicles.

About 50 sixth-generation fighter jets can be manufactured.

As for the Qingkong-class transport drone.

Su Wu gritted his teeth.

Combined with the ordinary resources looted from the Steel City.

It can even double its size, eventually reaching a total of 2 aircraft.

And to this scale.

Even a single Qingkong-class transport drone has a payload of only 600 kilograms.

It can also transport 12000 tons of materials at a time.

It is equivalent to a flying caravan.

What is this concept?
To know.

The speed of caravans traveling on the ice field is usually only 40 kilometers per hour at most.

In addition, any long-distance journey will inevitably involve frequent blizzards, various extremely complex environments, and occasional earthquakes and avalanches.

Being able to maintain an average speed of 20 kilometers per hour is considered very good.

The flying speed of the Qingkong-class transport drone can reach 165 kilometers per hour.

In other words, 2 Qingkong-class transport drones can actually achieve the same transport efficiency as 8 to 9 merchant fleets.

And this does not take into account the hidden advantage that air transportation is safer and more stable than ground transportation, the longer the distance.

The defect is that the quantity increases.

Scheduling may be a little more troublesome.

But with artificial intelligence, this kind of pure data trouble will not pose any problem.

With the help of this additional air transport force.

basically.

Rare resources plundered from anywhere in Dongzhou, and even some common resources.

There is no need to worry about not being able to transport the goods back to the farmyard in time due to the long distance.

Su Wu's speed in acquiring resources and converting them into cash will be improved unprecedentedly.

And after draining the existing resource reserves.

Su Wu also began large-scale demolition and reconstruction of the steel city 400 kilometers away.

All unused factory buildings and equipment will be dismantled.

Parts that can be used elsewhere will continue to be used. Those that cannot be used will be directly recycled and turned into raw materials.

Then there are the remaining ones, which are industrial equipment worth repairing and using.

They were relocated to various underground shelters within the urban area of ​​Steel City.

Build a production line with certain processing capabilities.

Su Wu planned to let Steel City, which had an industrial base, also take on part of the manufacturing tasks.

Responsible for the production of some products such as the frames of snow transport vehicles, Qingkong-class transport drones, ordinary spider robots, robot dogs, exoskeleton armor, individual weapons and ammunition, etc.

In this way, we can use local materials and reduce some of the pressure of transporting materials.

It can also increase some industrial production capacity.

With the size of a steel city.

Apart from anything else, the production of the most needed snow transport vehicles can be doubled to one thousand vehicles per day.

"There are so many factories and equipment in Steel City that can be recycled."

"Even after going through rounds of plunder and transfer."

“The remaining part still has great recycling potential and can contribute a lot of basic resources.”

"And that's besides the point."

"There are large mines covering half the province's area around Steel City, as well as various official and private shelters."

“They can also provide huge resources.”

“It is completely sufficient to support Steel City to become a second manufacturing center.”

Since the decision has been made to intensify the plunder of external resources.

It is the most important city in Su Wu's hands besides Jianghe City.

The area within a radius of two to three hundred kilometers around Gangcheng, as well as the area on both sides of the transportation line between it and Jianghe City.

There are still so many large and small shelters that are not under Su Wu's control.

It became the primary target of the strategy.

Shelters within these areas.

Excluding the Steel City itself with a population of over 2000 million.

The remaining total still amounts to more than 4000 million.

If only I could swallow them all.

The total population under Su Wu's control could exceed 1 million.

Correspondingly, the resources within the shelter.

It was also enough for Su Wu to complete another round of crazy expansion of his military forces.

More importantly.

The difficulty of defeating them is relatively low.

Unlike shelters in other areas, they are more or less connected to nearby super shelters.

Shelters around Steel City.

There is absolutely no concern in this regard.

They can only rely on their own strength, or at most form an alliance with several surrounding shelters.

"Then, trade and plunder in other regions cannot be stopped either."

"But it's different from the direct occupation around Steel City."

"In other places, we can't use the name of Jianghe City. We need to try our best to disguise ourselves as roving robbers to commit crimes."

This is Su Wu's greatest respect for the capital of Dongzhou and the Federation.

Of course, this is like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.

It cannot be hidden from those who are interested.

Which robbers are there in such extreme weather?

It can also quietly and completely transfer a small or medium-sized shelter with at least hundreds or thousands of people, along with the people and supplies, in a short period of time.

This kind of action is itself the best proof of identity.

In the entire Dongzhou, apart from the capital of Dongzhou, only Su Wu's Jianghe City can do it.

Other forces, even super cities, are in a bit of a pickle.

It would not have been possible to achieve such a quick and efficient result without a small-scale mobilization.

However, even if I know it in my heart.

But as long as it doesn't really offend you.

People who know the inside story will most likely just keep the news secret tacitly.

After all, at a time when the overall order is on the verge of collapse.

Even if you complain to your superiors, you may not be able to do anything to Su Wu in the end.

But there is absolutely a great possibility that it will bring about Su Wu's anger and revenge.

Bringing devastating disaster to their own shelter.

3 month 2 day.

On the second day of March.

Su Wu’s farmyard shelter has officially completed the construction of 8 underground floors.

The 8th underground floor has a floor height of 36 meters.

The size of the space is basically equivalent to three standard floors.

This is equivalent to expanding the underground part of the entire shelter by nearly half its volume.

Such a vast space.

Su did not make major changes to its functional structure.

Still following the original layout.

The floor space of the super factories, amusement parks, large parks, and warehouses located there has been expanded proportionally.

This decision made Suwu's comprehensive industrial strength officially surpass that of the capital of Dongzhou.

It became the number one in the entire Dongzhou.

The leisure areas and material storage warehouses are also sufficient to support the needs of nearly 2 million people.

With this extremely solid foundation.

Su Wu started to build the 36th underground floor, which also followed the 9-meter-high standard. He once again returned to the path of designing residential areas and plantations.

The only difference is.

In this residential area, dormitories only occupy half of the space.

The other half of the space is mainly small apartments for families and single-person apartments.

“College dormitories should have been completely abolished.”

"But the surface is getting more and more dangerous now."

"We must try to transfer as many outside populations as possible to the farmyard shelter before the purple crystals spread out of control."

"So, we have to sacrifice some of our quality of life first."

"We will prioritize ensuring that all relocated people have at least one place to live."

What Su Wu said seemed very difficult.

In fact, there is a large park with 8 underground floors and a large number of hotels.

Although many couples cannot really form a family for the time being.

Normally, they still need to stay in their respective dormitories.

But at least there is a place where you can move around occasionally.

By the time the baby is born, it will be eight or nine months at the earliest.

At the current excavation speed of the engineering team.

By then, there will be almost no shortage of houses.

The overall negative impact is basically minimal.

Afternoon, 3:20.

30 kilometers east of the main urban area of ​​Chongzhou City.

A formation of 10 sixth-generation fighter jets.

Poking out from the clouds.

Then dozens of heavy bunker-buster bombs were thrown onto the ground one after another.

A violent explosion.

In an instant, a section of road located there and carefully maintained by Chongzhou City was torn to pieces.

And the subsequent shock.

It even spread to the distant main urban area of ​​Chongzhou City.

A small earthquake alert was triggered.

Then, 10 minutes later.

Farmyard, underground control center.

Su Wu received an inquiry call from Chongzhou City.

"Yes, I was the one who gave the signal for the bombing just now."

"As for the reason."

"I have the latest reconnaissance intelligence here, you can take a look."

Su Wu still has a good impression of Xu Wei, the chief director of Chongzhou City across the street.

Among all the super city dignitaries Su Wu had met in the past, he was the friendliest and most responsible person towards ordinary civilians.

Therefore, Su Wu also patiently explained the reason to him.

Transfer relevant files to the other party through the network.

The other party spent more than half a minute to quickly and briefly browse through it.

Then his tone became extremely solemn.

"Is the situation already so serious?"

"It's just more serious than what you see."

"The details of our battle with Amethyst have actually been made public on the Internet."

"only."

“It seems like no one really takes it seriously.”

Su Wu's tone was very calm, without any sign of dissatisfaction or anger.

He has fulfilled his basic obligations as a human being.

How other people respond has little to do with him.

If they really suffered heavy losses because of ignoring his warning, that would be their own business.

"Maybe it's because you protected me too well."

"Until now."

"No one in the outside world has ever died because of the amethyst."

"So I, too, was a little careless."

Xu Wei smiled bitterly, his voice a little hoarse.

The end of the world is not a peaceful era.

Countless humans are forced to live in cramped underground shelters.

While resisting various disasters that occur from time to time, we must also ensure that everyone has food, clothing and daily necessities.

It really consumes too much energy of managers.

If the situation is not extremely serious, this is the first reaction of most managers.

Subconsciously, people will put it aside temporarily and leave it for later.

“The reality right now.”

"It's just that I can't hold on any longer."

"It has only been a few days since the purple crystal opened up the second outbreak point."

"They've added 17 new exits alone."

"This most recent time."

"I discovered them when their main group was less than 20 meters from the surface."

"It will probably take another day or two."

"You are needed to participate in the war with Amethyst."

Su Wu's sight.

It fell on the holographic projection map nearby.

The above is within the 300-kilometer area between Jianghe City and Chongzhou City.

There are a total of 17 dark red danger icons marked.

Those are the newly discovered exits of Amethyst.

The good news is that none of these exits are too far from Jianghe City.

Su Wu can still suppress it for the time being.

The bad news is that their numbers are increasing and they are getting closer and closer to the urban area of ​​Chongzhou City.

Once they reached that place, it was no longer an area that Su Wu could bomb at will.

Humans from the outside world.

Soon you will experience the threat of Amethyst firsthand.

"Can you cooperate?"

"We would like to buy some crystal detectors if we can."

Xu Wei was silent for more than ten seconds.

After recognizing the reality, I seriously prepared to adjust the focus of my next work.

"no problem."

"Ordinary crystal detectors are inexpensive to manufacture, so you can make as many as you want."

Su Wu answered affirmatively.

This comes from the confidence of having the first industrial strength in Dongzhou.

Ended the communication with Chongzhou City.

Su Wu stood up and walked to the metal platform.

The map on the holographic projection was replaced with a thumbnail of the entire Dongzhou.

On this map.

The area around Yu'an City is basically empty.

Kuanjiang River Basin area.

In addition to official shelters in a dozen cities.

The population of the remaining shelters has basically completed its relocation.

These people who have been transferred to the farmyard shelter may constitute the final foundation of the future human race in the entire Dongzhou.

"almost."

"It has been delayed for more than a month."

“There has been enough development.”

"Now, since it is almost impossible to suppress it."

"Then don't suppress it."

"Be prepared to go from full-scale attack to strategic defense."

"The focus of future defense will be the farmyard, steel city, communication signal tower, mine, and other affiliated shelters."

"And there are caravans along the way."

"As for other places, we will selectively eliminate as many as we can."

"If it doesn't work, you can give up."
