Chapter 309 Provincial Transactions

Chapter 309 Provincial Transactions
Song Hong's words.

The expressions of the other two super city leaders present also became unpleasant.

No matter how powerful they are in their own city.

Nothing can change the fact that they have been abandoned by the capital of Dongzhou.

The key point is that this abandonment has not been made public, but has been deliberately concealed until now.

Then they found out by chance.

In terms of nature.

This behavior of the Dongzhou capital is almost the same as betrayal.

“We are all in a dangerous situation right now.”

"So I hope."

“Within the alliance, we can further strengthen the exchange of intelligence and technology.”

"Also, if you really have to in the future."

"I still have channels in the capital of Dongzhou."

"We can take over a piece of land on the Western Wilderness Plateau."

"Then maybe we can work together to develop there."

"As a retreat for the alliance."

After disclosing the information in his hands in detail.

Song Hong made a proposal.

It is obvious that they want to gather the strength of the entire alliance to build a new shelter in a safe zone thousands of miles away.

“That’s too difficult.”

"And it probably can't accommodate many people, right?"

Su Wu frowned, somewhat doubtful.

Even in peacetime.

It is extremely difficult to transfer the population and resources of several super cities.

Not to mention after the apocalypse.

Travel thousands of miles to the plateau where the air is thinner and the environment is even harsher.

Plus we have to build a shelter there from scratch.

You can understand the difficulty if you just think about it.

It will certainly be so high that it is almost unattainable.

Not much easier than landing on the moon.

“It is somewhat difficult.”

"But where I found it, there is a large natural cavity underground."

“As long as the supplies are in place, we can settle down.”

“The rest can be improved slowly in the later stage.”

“But the scale is indeed not going up.”

"It is expected that the population that can be accommodated in the end will not exceed 50 people."

Song Hong explained in detail.

His plan is indeed feasible to a certain extent.

However, it concentrates the power of the entire alliance and several super cities.

In the end, they could only build a small city-level shelter that could accommodate 50 people.

In essence, it is not much different from abandoning most of your belongings and fleeing alone.

There are nearly 2 million ordinary people in the alliance.

They will also become victims of this escape.

"The price is too high."

"no need."

Su Wu shook his head and directly rejected the proposal.

No matter what disaster he encountered, he would never give up the farmyard he had run for so long.

And if even a small farmyard cannot withstand the disaster.

To be honest, Su Wu didn't think that he could really rest easy by hiding in the Western Wilderness Plateau.

Except Su Wu.

The other two people present were also not very interested in this.

The Governor of Fuhai Province, Chai Zeyang, had an indifferent expression.

Neither express support nor opposition.

Qiang Yi Qiu from Yu'an City seemed a little tempted at the beginning.

But after hesitating for a moment, he finally looked apologetic towards Song Hong.

She politely declined his proposal.

"Well, it seems that everyone has their own way out."

"I don't like my plan."

Song Hong is also a smart guy.

Although no one said much.

He could also vaguely guess that everyone present had their own confidence.

Unwilling to dilute resources into his plan.

However, this meeting was not without gain.

At least the first item, which strengthens communication, was agreed upon by everyone.

After the meeting.

Song Hong found Su Wu privately.

Had a short conversation with him.

"You want to buy a caravan?"

Su Wu fell into deep thought.

The caravan carriage that can move freely on the extremely cold ice field can be regarded as a treasure in the doomsday.

There is no one who would not be moved by it.

But for Su Wu, the caravan carriage was his core asset.

But after all, it is a mass-produced model that can be manufactured if there are resources.

It’s not that it can’t be sold.

The key is whether Song Hong can pay enough.

"Even though you don't quite agree."

"But building an alternative shelter on the Western Wilderness Plateau is our only option in Changming City."

“And to build on such a large scale across such a long distance.”

"The land train you have in your hands is the best means of transportation."

Song Hong sighed.

Entering the present after the end of the world.

The railway tracks, which had been repaired several times, were now mostly buried deep in the ice.

In the foreseeable future, there is almost no chance of seeing the light of day again.

Although air transport has not been cut off.

After all, there are very few aircraft that can operate in an environment of minus 70 degrees Celsius.

The only remaining means of transportation that could safely enable long-distance travel was Su Wu's caravan carriage.

"I can't afford any more."

"How about this."

"I will use the Xiaojiang Province where our Changming City is located, all other civilian and official shelters, and the mineral mining rights within the province."

"To exchange two caravan carriages with you."

"Xiaojiang Province is a populous province. Apart from Changming City, there are about 7000 million people in other places combined."

"We have over 1000 million tons of finished product resources in reserve, and we also own a large copper mine with a reserve of over million tons."

“The value should be enough.”

It is no secret that Su Wu has an insatiable demand for population.

The cost is all the population and resources in a province except the provincial capital.

Used to exchange for two caravan carriages.

No matter from which perspective.

The value paid is enough.

It also demonstrates sincerity.

"So willing?"

Su Wu was a little surprised.

Judging from Song Hong’s past performance, he is not like Yu Anshi, who is indifferent to the younger brothers around him.

Take action against the population of his province.

It's basically the same as taking money from his family.

"No matter how reluctant I am, there is nothing I can do."

“Wait for the disaster to happen.”

"Not to mention other places in the province, even in Changming City itself."

"I'm afraid I can't take care of too many people."

"It would be better to let them come to your side as early as possible, so that there will be a glimmer of hope for survival."

There was some fatigue in Song Hong's eyes.

It can be seen that the news he got from the capital of Dongzhou this time dealt him a heavy blow.

It made him give up a large part of his fantasies.

"That's no problem."

"Tomorrow, I will dispatch two newly manufactured caravans to Changming City and deliver them to you."

"As for receiving the population."

"Wait a week or two before taking action."

Now even the population of Zhenhai City is still stranded in the coastal area.

The resources taken over from Zhenhai City, except for the most expensive and scarce ones, have been transported back to the farmyard by air. The rest are mostly gone.

They haven't even moved out of the crumbling Zhenhai City shelter.

Su Wu temporarily did not have the ability to transfer the population of Xiaojiang Province.

However, with the rapid digestion of Zhenhai City’s resources.

That will soon change.

4 month 5 day.

The seat of Zhenhai City.

The ice layer that originally froze everything had broken into countless floating ice pieces at some point.

Mix with sea water.

A surging wave forms in a storm.

Occasionally through the surging sea water and floating ice.

You can also see faint red light emerging from its depths.

That is the light emitted from the magma on the seabed.

At this moment.

The Zhenhai City Shelter located on the seabed.

Almost half of it has been surrounded by magma.

From time to time, it will be hit by an earthquake with an intensity so high that it can be seen with the naked eye.

However, in this harsh environment.

The main body of the shelter had already been torn in two, but miraculously did not disintegrate further.

Even still the same as before.

The materials stored there will be transported with an efficiency that is no less than the original one.

Transporting out continuously.

"The fuel is running low."

"There are probably about 1 million tons of other resources that have not been moved. It feels like they have basically not moved."

Looking at the statistics of supplies stranded in the Zhenhai City shelter.

Su Wu was somewhat amazed at the amazing transportation speed of the fuel, but was also troubled by the transfer of the remaining supplies.

However, it seems to be transferring very slowly.

Actually.

The goods are transported together by subway trains in six undersea passages and by trucks on the highway of the seventh undersea passage.

A whole day passed.

More than 1200 million tons of materials have been transported to the coastline.

This is an astonishing amount of supplies.

It is almost catching up with the total amount of resources that Su Wu had plundered in the Kuanjiang River basin in the past.

The reason why there is still a feeling of slow progress.

It's purely an illusion caused by the exaggerated inventory of materials compared to Zhenhai City itself.

The so-called 1200 million tons of materials.

It is only equivalent to wiping out a fraction of those 100 million tons of resources.

Of course, this is just a quantitative point of view.

Considering that the higher-value materials have already been packed and shipped away first.

Calculated in terms of value.

Su Wu had actually taken possession of more than half of the property in Zhenhai City.

Various high-end mechanical creations.

With the support of this batch of high-value materials.

A massive growth is about to begin.

"With these resources."

"The caravan fleet can be increased by more than 100 vehicles in a short period of time."

"We can also expand production of the sixth-generation fighter jets by another 100, bringing the total number to more than 500."

Su Wu made a rough estimate.

Among these, the caravan trains are not mentioned for the time being.

The reason why only 100 sixth-generation fighter jets were added.

It’s not that there are not enough resources, but Su Wu believes that 500 sixth-generation fighters are enough for the time being.

He needs to leave enough resources.

Wait until soon.

The seventh-generation fighter was born in the laboratory.

Continue to mass-produce seventh-generation fighter jets.

"And it's different from the sixth-generation fighters."

"The technology of the seventh-generation fighter jets can already be used to try to build a larger near-Earth orbit aircraft carrier."

"Although it is an aerospace carrier built using seventh-generation fighter technology."

“Both mobility and combat effectiveness are questionable.”

"But at least in terms of pure transportation, it can definitely bring about epoch-making changes."

“By then, maybe we can really do it and gather global resources to build farmyards.”

Look forward to technological development in this area.

Su Wu couldn't help but feel a sense of clarity that the road ahead would be bright and open.

Then continue to shift your gaze to the holographic map, to the seaside shelter.

Su Wu divided 200 caravans into groups and returned to Jianghe City by car, taking 400 million people with him at one time.

Around the seaside shelter.

It has completely returned from the hustle and bustle to its former deserted state.

Only a large number of robots and unmanned engineering vehicles are left.

They were still braving the severe cold and silently processing the supplies shipped from Zhenhai City.

A caravan of merchants was travelling in a carriage.

Under extreme conditions, it can carry 4 people.

But this state is too much of a challenge to human physiological limits.

Especially in long-distance transportation, it is easy to bring very bad effects.

Therefore, in this situation which does not seem too urgent.

Su Wu chose to cut the transport population by half.

Leaving buffer space allows passengers in the car to take turns sitting and resting, or even sleeping for a certain period of time, instead of having to stand the entire time.

This reform has another benefit.

That is, when traveling long distances, you don’t have to find a shelter to rest every once in a while.

Able to reach the destination directly in one breath.

On overall efficiency.

The longer the distance, the less it will be lower than the fully loaded state.

“The current size of the caravan is large enough.”

"A few trips back and forth would be enough to move all the people in Zhenhai City to the farmyard."

"Also considering that the 10th underground floor of the farmyard is about to be completed."

“With all standard dormitories and plantations built.”

"That one floor alone can almost accommodate the entire population of Zhenhai City."

"At most there are a few people left, about two to three million, who need to be put into the 11 underground floors to be excavated later."

"So, next."

"The pressure is not as great as it was yesterday."

"Just take it step by step."

However, this is all based on optimism.

There will be no more huge disasters interrupting us.

On the holographic map, call up a camera on the surface of the seaside shelter.

Su Wu turned it to the deep ocean, in the direction of Zhenhai City.

Looking from here more than 100 kilometers away.

You can vaguely see it.

The end of the ocean, which had turned into a white ice field, was shrouded in a deep black.

It has become a hell where the difficulty of survival has reached nightmare level.

No one can guarantee it.

Will it continue to spread at some point in the future?

Stared at the ocean on the screen for a while.

Su Wu continued to shift his gaze to a group of mountains near the seaside refuge.

In the valley there, there are huge temporary warehouses.

Tens of millions of tons of fuel oil have been stored.

It is foreseeable that they will be transported to Jianghe City.

It is bound to be a protracted process.

And considering their low unit value.

In the transportation sequence, it has to be ranked behind the hundreds of millions of tons of ordinary materials that have not yet been rescued from Zhenhai City.

Such a long time.

It's almost impossible without any accidents.

With any luck, this is expected to eventually amount to 8000 million cubic meters of fuel oil.

Maybe he would leave some small legacy to Su Wu.

If you're unlucky, all your efforts will be in vain.

All that was left for Su Wu was a ruin with nothing left.
