Chapter 303 Undersea Tunnel
Chapter 303 Undersea Tunnel
Jianghe City.
Farmyard, underground control center.
Su Wu exited the remote consciousness connection state, stood up and walked to the metal platform.
The projection above was switched to a structural topographic map of the Zhenhai City underground shelter.
The data for this map.
It comes from the official database of Zhenhai City which has just been taken over.
Because the original complete construction design drawings are preserved inside.
Its level of detail is not much less than the farmyard shelter that Su Wu built inch by inch with his own hands.
Look at the map.
The entire Zhenhai City underground shelter looks like a huge irregular underground city.
The distance between the two farthest ends is almost 17 kilometers.
The overall size of the space is even slightly larger than the small farmyards that now accommodate 7000 million people.
“A nice spot.”
"It's a pity that it will soon face destruction."
Su Wu felt a little sorry for it, but he didn't care too much.
Because its only advantage is that it is spacious.
The most important main structure and defense are far inferior to the farmyard reinforced with quick cement and survival points.
The gap between the two sides is almost an entire era.
A thatched house that cannot be guaranteed to be safe and may fall apart in a storm at any time.
No matter how spacious it is built.
From a survival perspective, it can't be compared to a concrete hut that can only provide shelter.
Stretch out your finger and slide it around on the holographic map.
Zoom in or out on a certain area from time to time.
Su Wu concentrated his mind and entered into a busy working state.
Start browsing the map at high speed to see the real-time status of all important facilities.
Take over the management of Zhenhai Shelter from Zhenhai City officials.
This seems like a simple sentence.
What lies behind this is an astonishing number of handover processes that are so complicated that they are enough to make anyone feel despair.
Even artificial intelligence with huge computing power.
It is difficult to sort out everything in a short period of time.
To this end, Su Wu even formed a staff team of more than 2 people in the remote control center on the second floor underground in the farmhouse.
Specifically responsible for coordinating with the management of Zhenhai City.
To speed up the handover.
It took a full half hour.
Su Wu barely had a general understanding of the real situation in Zhenhai City.
In general.
Try to overestimate beforehand though.
The wealth of Zhenhai City was still richer than Su Wu had expected.
Its huge interior space is larger than a farmyard shelter.
Almost one-third of the area is used to store a large amount of various supplies.
Not to mention anything else, the raw materials for steel, which is a basic metal, alone amount to 1.5 million tons.
Fuel, coal and other raw materials for power generation have also reached the level of hundreds of millions of tons.
Various other rare resources are also often measured in millions or tens of millions of tons.
Compared with Zhenhai City, even Steel City, which was once a super city and known for its rich resources, is now as shabby as a slum and cannot be compared at all.
“No wonder the capital of Dongzhou gave up Steel City so easily.”
"It was left to be taken over by gangs and local forces."
"It turns out that they had already plundered almost all the supplies there."
Faced with this astronomical inventory list of resources.
While refreshing our understanding of super cities.
Su Wu also had some vague understanding in his heart.
He had previously thought that the steel city's heritage was rich, but in reality it was just a few pounds of unwanted scraps of copper and iron left behind after others moved away.
The real big heads had already been eaten up.
However, although it was on the list, the amount of supplies in Zhenhai City was unusually huge.
But less than half of this area is under official jurisdiction.
The other half is private property.
From the family behind the Speaker Ping Yuhan to ordinary wealthy residents.
Everyone holds some supplies in their hands, more or less.
It is impossible to take all these supplies away directly.
Not to mention the gifts that Su Wu had previously given to Ping Yuhan, the exemption quota for retaining private property was allowed.
Simply for the purpose of a smooth transfer of power and as a propaganda example.
The original powerful people in Zhenhai City must be allowed to retain a considerable amount of wealth.
"Exemption is easy."
"The number of places given originally had a certain upper limit."
"The total mass cannot exceed 5000 tons, and the total value cannot exceed 10 billion universal currencies before the end of the world."
“Plus a high percentage of transportation costs can be charged.”
“You can’t actually take much away.”
“The key is that there are still more powerful groups and civil society groups left.”
I sorted out the relationships a bit.
Su Wu, feeling a great headache, decided to hand over all these tedious matters to the staff group on the second underground floor to handle.
He himself only set a basic bottom line for it.
“The supplies.”
“Although it cannot be confiscated by force.”
"But in this special period when the city is about to collapse, it should not be a problem to collect more than 95% of the property tax in the end."
"The rest depends on the staff's free play."
The issue of ownership of materials has been determined.
The next step is to consider how to transfer.
The entire Zhenhai City has a population of 3800 million and hundreds of millions of tons of supplies.
Su Wu wanted to eat it all.
With the limited number of tools he currently has at hand.
We can no longer simply rely on air and land transportation.
We need to find another way.
He looked at the structural diagram of the shelter in Zhenhai City for a while.
Su Wu finally turned his gaze to several exits that had been submerged by sea water.
The shallow sea area where Zhenhai City is located.
The average depth is about 50 meters.
The thickness of the top ice layer is between 7 and 8 meters.
Below is the still liquid seawater.
Compared to activities on the ice or chiseling through the ice.
In the sea water where the temperature is still around zero degrees and there are not many undercurrents.
Building a tunnel to transport supplies is undoubtedly much easier.
It is also safer.
"Quick cement only takes about three minutes to solidify."
"A thickness of 2 to 3 millimeters is enough to withstand water pressure at a depth of 50 meters and earthquakes of a certain intensity."
“The conditions are fully met to build a tunnel under the sea.”
“Then tracks can be laid inside the tunnel and metro trains can be used for transport.”
While Su Wu was thinking, he was performing simulation calculations directly on the holographic map.
Finally, we found that this idea is feasible.
There are currently more than 7000 subway trains in the entire Zhenhai City.
If you can use them all.
More than 2000 million people can be transported in one trip.
After two trips, all the residents of Zhenhai City can be transported to the coast.
As for the transportation of materials.
Because when subway trains were designed, they were not specifically designed to transport materials.
The transport capacity of a single train is only about 500 tons.
In one trip, only more than 300 million tons of materials can be transported.
However, the train itself travels at an extremely high speed, which is enough to reach a speed of 75 kilometers per hour in an undisturbed undersea tunnel.
The efficiency of actually transferring materials is also not low. It can fully serve as the main means of transportation.
"Just do it."
It is certain that there is no problem in theory.
Su Wu immediately turned it into an action plan.
Distributed to artificial intelligence, the staff group, and the management of Zhenhai City.
Then, just half a minute later.
Under the auspices of artificial intelligence.
The entire Zhenhai City began to revolve around this plan.
In every residential area, large numbers of residents were told to pack their luggage and go to designated squares and office halls.
There they will receive a queue number and undergo security screening.
Then those who meet the criteria will be taken to several temporary stations that are being built.
Waiting to board the subway train.
Hundreds of thousands of workers and retired soldiers were organized.
One part opens up the long-abandoned shelter warehouse.
The train that had been sleeping in the warehouse for more than half a year was inspected and awakened.
The rail components in the warehouse were also transported out in batches.
Some headed for the exits of seven shelters that had been flooded by sea water.
The existing equipment and walls nearby were demolished and a large temporary train station and logistics transfer warehouse were built.
Another part is put back into the factory.
Cut the metal raw materials into as many rail parts as possible.
Zhenhai City is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest coastline.
Railroad track parts in stock alone.
It is very difficult to build a two-way circular track.
Not to mention laying more tracks.
But fortunately, this is only for temporary use after all.
The quality requirements are not high.
The difficulty of production has been reduced dramatically.
It is estimated that even without Su Wu's support, the productivity of Zhenhai City's own factories could still be achieved.
It is also enough to produce sufficient quantities of rail components.
While we are busy in Zhenhai City.
Su Wu's farmyard was also not idle.
Thousands of robots begin packing and boxing a small, fast cement production line.
The first batch of 1 biplane helicopters were handed over to Zhenhai City.
This production line will produce quick-acting cement on site and will be responsible for providing construction materials for the tunnel that will be built soon.
At the same time, most of the aircraft and all the caravans got into the car.
They will also return to the farmyard one after another after completing their current transportation tasks.
Then they started to transfer the population and materials from Zhenhai City.
"Calculate based on speed."
"When the first batch of biplane helicopters arrived in Zhenhai City."
"It should be the time when the branch cyclone in the ocean moves over Zhenhai City."
"The wind speed is expected to reach level 15 to 17 by then."
"Given the performance of the sixth-generation fighter jets, it is estimated that they cannot complete vertical take-off and landing in that environment."
"A biplane helicopter might be a little better, but it's also dangerous."
"After we deliver the rapid cement production line this time, we can no longer allow them to approach Zhenhai City from the air."
"At most, we will land when we reach the coastline."
Su Wu's sight.
Stop at the remains of a former communications tower near the coastline.
There happened to be a large auxiliary shelter nearby that he had abandoned.
He plans to remodel it.
It is the terminus of the undersea tunnel connecting Jinhae City.
Used to temporarily accommodate people and materials transferred from there.
"Time is running out."
“How many people can escape in the end, and how much supplies can be brought back.”
"It all depends on luck."
"I hope Zhenhai City's luck will be a little better."
3 hours after Su Wu took over Zhenhai City.
When the biplane helicopter successfully transported the rapid cement production line to the Zhenhai City shelter and began to return, carrying the first batch of family members of Zhenhai City's senior officials.
A branching cyclone from the most powerful storm source on Earth.
Finally, it slowly approached the surface of Zhenhai City.
Through monitors installed on the ice.
Su Wu could clearly see a funnel-shaped cloud that was so huge that it seemed to cover half of the sky.
Moving slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Severe storm.
The snow layer after layer becomes as hard as rock in the low temperature of minus 70 degrees Celsius.
Torn into pieces.
Then it turned into countless tiny pieces of ice and rolled straight into the sky.
Large chunks of glacier debris occasionally carried by storms.
It will also hit the ground at a very high speed.
It crashed into the ice formed by the ocean and created huge gaps.
A few minutes after the cyclone arrived.
Su Wu even saw a building more than 100 meters high.
Unfortunately, he was hit by a piece of debris.
Then the whole building was like it had been hit by a high-yield aerial bomb.
Several layers of wall located in the middle of the building.
Most of it was crushed on the spot.
And the building has lost some important support at the waist.
In the increasingly violent storm, it could not hold out for long.
After staggering for a few minutes.
Then it collapsed with a loud bang.
The huge kinetic energy generated by its fall.
It directly broke through the ice not far away, revealing the unfrozen sea water under the ice.
In this dangerous and even somewhat brutal environment.
The biplane helicopter formation that had just taken off from the Zhenhai City shelter also inevitably encountered strong resistance.
Under the impact of the strong airflow in the air, the vibrations of the aircraft body became more and more obvious.
It seemed like there was a possibility of losing control and falling at any time.
Some young women sitting in the helicopter cabin.
They couldn't help but hug each other tightly and sob in fear.
For them, who had been pampered since childhood, this was the first time they faced such terrifying divine power.
It was also the first time that I felt death was so close.
But at this time, no one can protect them anymore.
Can only be left to fate.
"The wind force has reached 16."
"However, the helicopter fleet should be able to reach the coastal areas before the storm intensifies to Category 17."
"It's a dangerous pass."
Su Wu glanced at the formation of biplane helicopters flying over Zhenhai City.
Based on the above data, it can be inferred that they are not in great danger.
I stopped paying attention to it.
for him.
The value of the twenty biplane helicopters alone was worth a second look.
As for the passengers inside.
No matter how noble their status is in Zhenhai City.
In Su Wu's eyes, they were no different from ordinary people.
Life or death, it makes little difference.
