Chapter 301: The Super City with 9 Floors Underground

Chapter 301: Nine-story underground super city

"We need to find a way to popularize conventional crystal detectors."

"It would be great if every shelter out there could have at least one."

With the existence of crystal detectors.

At least most of the shelters would not be wiped out by a surprise attack by Amethyst without them knowing it.

This gives them the opportunity to organize resistance and call for help.

For official shelters in relatively strong large cities.

If used well.

They might not even need Su Wu's support as they can defend the city independently.

This kind of thing can save lives.

Its importance is even greater than food and all other necessities.

No shelter would refuse to buy it if they could afford it.

The most difficult part of promotion.

Instead, it lies in the production and transportation links.

To ensure that all shelters in the entire East Continent have at least one crystal detector.

The material costs and transportation resources required are not a small amount.

"take it easy."

"At least the scope of Amethyst's activities is not too wide at the moment."

"Just start with high-risk areas and gradually popularize it."

Strengthening passive defense is one aspect.

On the other hand, we must try our best to reduce the overall number of amethysts.

Open the holographic map.

Su Wu's gaze lingered for a moment on the fallen shelters in the Kuanjiang River basin.

Amethyst is not without weaknesses.

Except for the most primitive amethyst, which has the appearance of a crystalline mineral, it can withstand the high temperature and high pressure in the underground magma for a long time.

All transformed evolutionary amethysts.

They all began to have some characteristics of ordinary creatures, being afraid of high temperatures and heat, and hating extreme cold.

We will try to find places where the temperature is not so extreme.

For example, these shelters that were captured.

At this time, it has become a nest where purple crystals gather.

"It's hard to say in the future."

"But now, don't even think about having food and shelter."

"Be a mouse that cannot see the light for a while."

Su Wu made a decision in his heart.

Immediately, more than a dozen caravans that were on their way or about to return to the farmyards had their original transportation and business missions changed under his orders.

Switch to fully loaded mechanical legions and ammunition and head to the corresponding fallen shelter.

Clear out the purple crystals that stay there.

The caravan is 1 kilometer long from head to tail and can transport tens of thousands of tons of materials at a time.

It is an absolute behemoth that is still active on the surface of the earth.

And when it no longer transports resources, but a mechanical army specialized in combat.

Not much is needed.

Only one column is used.

It is enough to easily crush any large shelter.

Even if the people living in that shelter are no longer humans, but amethysts.

There is no difference either.

Sporadic fighting.

It ignited again in the frozen land of Kuanjiang River Basin.

A mechanical army composed of different models of spider robots, robot dogs and combat drones.

Like a tide, it rushed towards the purple crystals entrenched in the underground buildings.

Amethyst with single firepower and limited quantity.

In frontal combat, he was ultimately no match for Su Wu.

They were beaten back badly.

In the end, they either fled in all directions or turned into wreckage, becoming materials for Su Wu to manufacture high-end weapons and other equipment.

And when all the amethyst groups gathered on the surface blatantly.

Su Wu personally went to their homes one by one and crushed them with violence.

The remaining amethysts that were still active on the surface gradually became cautious.

They no longer invade human shelters as frequently, and they no longer stay in any one shelter for long.

Instead, just eat and leave.

Hiding in the corners of the wilderness where they can avoid drone surveillance in the sky, they quietly accumulate strength.

at the same time.

Su Wu's outstanding military achievements were publicized by radio and television stations.

Three or four more shelters located in the Kuanjiang River Basin began to move closer to Su Wu.

It’s just different from the refuges in the four cities where we first took refuge.

The persons in charge of these newly contacted shelters are basically not the original official ones.

Rather, they are representatives of a new force that they have seized from the original shelter's top brass through violent means.

The ruling class of the shelter in the end times.

Perhaps he would be willing to risk his own life and the lives of everyone in the shelter for the sake of his own power.

They can be regarded as the majority in the shelter and the sacrificed party.

It is naturally impossible for them to be willing to not enjoy much benefit and even be exploited all the time, but to bear the risk of death at any time for the enjoyment of the upper class.

This sense of resistance.

Add to that the Internet, which allows for convenient and private communication.

It can easily get worse as time goes by.

Until they finally united and turned into a sharp blade that stabbed the higher-ups of the shelter.

“Building the benefits of the Internet.”

"A part of it has been revealed again."

Feel the benefits brought by this network.

Su Wu couldn't help but take another look at the survival points on the system panel.

The number there is almost enough to build another synchronous orbit communications satellite to cover the other half of the earth with a satellite network.

Perhaps, we can further expand investment in this area.

the following few days.

After accepting and digesting these subsequent refuges.

The total population of the Su Wu Farmyard Shelter has officially exceeded 70 million.

If we add in other areas of Dongzhou except the Kuanjiang River Basin, those subsidiary refuges that were incorporated into Su Wu's rule but had not yet been completely relocated.

The population has directly reached 1 million.

This is considered to have completed one-tenth of the requirements of the main mission of the Doomsday Survival System.

While the population is growing rapidly.

The 9th underground level of Su Wu's farmyard shelter was also completely completed during this period.

And then the construction of the 10th underground floor began.

Unlike the 8 underground floors which house the super factory, warehouses and amusement park.

The 9 underground floors are mainly used to build high-end residential areas to improve the living environment.

Except for a very small amount of space, some standard dormitories were built to accommodate the recent surge in population.

The rest are mainly family suites, single apartments, and public buildings such as schools and libraries.

This results in the entire 9th floor being equivalent to the size of three standard floors in terms of space.

Theoretically, it is large enough to accommodate 3000 million people.

But in reality, only about 1300 million people live there.

And there are 300 to 400 million people here who are temporarily living in standard dormitories.

Wait until there is enough space later.

The standard dormitories here will be converted into single apartments.

By then, the total population of the entire 9th layer will drop below 1000 million.

And here we are.

It is equivalent to entering an ideal living state, which will basically not change further.

“The family suites and studio apartments are of the same standard.”

“It is distributed according to 40 cubic meters of actual living space per person.”

“It’s more or less sufficient for daily use when you don’t need to cook and can go out to the streets and recreational areas for daily activities.”

"Anything further than that is a luxury item and requires a huge price to purchase."

The eyes scanned the holographic projection map of the 9th floor.

The total area of ​​this area is 3864 million square meters, and the height is enough to accommodate a 10-story residential building before the end of the world.

Now it has become a real megacity with a population of tens of millions.

Streets, schools, libraries, gymnasiums, small squares, green belts, etc. are distributed in a regular pattern.

Make sure everyone has enough public space.

Plus the dome is covered in glass panels that emit a faint glow, simulating a static summer sky.

This is enough to make many people unable to tell whether it is deep underground or an ordinary large city standing on the surface.

This even leads to doubts about the so-called end of the world and disasters.

Is it a lie woven on the Internet?

"In order to more realistically reproduce the urban environment above ground, and to reduce the feeling of depression."

“The street on the surface has been partially widened.”

"The train tracks that originally passed through the ceiling were moved to the street."

"And apart from the stations, they will not come into direct contact with pedestrians on the street."

"The outside and top of the two parallel tracks will be separated by opaque fast cement. Below is the tunnel where the trains run, and above is the pedestrian walkway."

“And on both sides of the sidewalk are green belts.”

“There is also a residential building on the first floor that serves as a shop and public activity area.”

Recalling the original design ideas.

Su Wu discovered that they have now all been completely realized in the 9th layer.

only.

No matter how close we get to modern cities.

In an underground shelter where every inch of space is valuable.

Certain luxury items that are unique to the surface will never reappear here.

Like cars and motorcycles.

The way people move through the streets.

You either walk or take the city rail train. There is no third option.

"Anyway, the whole shelter isn't that big."

“Even if you walk slowly, you can walk from one side of the shelter to the other in an afternoon.”

"There's no need to go through all this fancy stuff."

"Let them completely disappear from the lives of ordinary residents in the shelter."

3 month 28 day.

Just when Su Wu was developing step by step.

A message from the East Coast.

This disrupted Su Wu's plan.

This forced him to turn his attention to the end of the Kuanjiang River Basin.

Currently, the only super city located on the shallow seabed is Zhenhai City.

nine in the morning.

A biplane helicopter flew over the Kuanjiang River Basin at high speed.

Then it flew over the ruins of the last communication signal tower standing on the seashore and entered the sky above the ocean.

Although this place is still hundreds of kilometers away from Zhenhai City.

However, one could already feel the air currents hovering over the sea becoming noticeably more intense.

The light coming through the clouds also dimmed a bit.

It was so dim that it made people feel extremely depressed.

"It can be seen from the weather images taken by the Eden satellite."

"A very large cyclone hovering deep in the southern ocean."

"A small branch has already split off."

"It is expected to arrive near Zhenhai City in the next 4 to 5 hours."

"at the same time."

"The geological activity under the ocean has also begun to intensify significantly."

"There is a tendency for it to spread to Zhenhai City along the movement track of the branch cyclone."

“Once it really spreads to Zhenhai City.”

"By the time."

“Earthquakes above magnitude 7 are likely to become a daily occurrence in Zhenhai City.”

"All underground shelters located there will become unsuitable for human habitation."

Farmyard, underground control center.

With the help of artificial intelligence, Su Wu analyzed and calculated the climate evolution in the east coast area.

Ultimately, everything points to an extremely bad outcome.

If nothing unexpected happens.

soon.

Zhenhai City will become the entire Dongzhou.

The first super city to be completely destroyed by a natural disaster.

"The wind speed was detected to reach level 12."

"The biplane helicopter entered balance mode and the speed dropped to 150 kilometers per hour."

The reminder sound of artificial intelligence rang in my ears.

Su Wu turned his gaze to the screen, and saw the biplane helicopter that was heading to Zhenhai City as an envoy.

I thought about it.

Sit down at the console again.

He put on an electronic helmet filled with sensor components and complex circuits.

next moment.

His vision darkened slightly.

The whole person seemed to appear inside a flying vehicle.

I could clearly feel waves of unstable shaking coming from under my feet.

This is based on the remote projection technology used by the Southeastern Conference when it started online meetings.

After improvement and upgrading, the remote control terminal is integrated and produced.

People can remotely descend upon any robot and receive real-time data from various sensor devices carried by the robot.

Because the cost of manufacturing and maintenance is temporarily too high.

At present, it is just a special toy for Su Wu to use alone.

It takes a few seconds.

After adapting to the arrival of this custom-made bionic humanoid robot, which was extremely expensive to manufacture.

Su Wu came to the cockpit of the biplane helicopter in front.

At this moment, the two seats in the cockpit were empty.

Everything is controlled and operated by artificial intelligence.

In front of the seats, outside the thick and spacious glass window.

From time to time, you can see one or two flashes of white lightning flashing deep in the dark clouds in the distance.

It gives people a strong feeling of impending disaster.

“It really looks like the end of the world.”

Su Wu couldn't help but want to complain.

But suddenly discovered.

This sentence is very important for Zhenhai City, which is not far below.

It doesn't seem like a joke, but reality.

They are really about to experience a doomsday disaster in which the whole world will collapse and their familiar homes will be completely reduced to ruins.

A silent sigh.

Su Wu no longer had the interest to satisfy his curiosity.

Sit directly in the helicopter's cockpit.

Via the radar above.

Check the situation outside.

"The sea ice is still relatively stable."

“There are no obvious cracks at the moment.”

"The snow layer above is showing signs of loosening."

"It looks like it won't last long before part of it is blown away."
