Chapter 314 Plunder and Conflict
Chapter 314 Plunder and Conflict
the following few days.
The farmyard is 8 floors underground, and the super factory is running at a roaring speed day and night.
The extreme production mode has been activated.
every day.
A large number of robots and new Ice Lake-class transport ships were produced.
Then after a simple debugging.
was put into use.
The final Ice Lake-class transport ship has extremely low manufacturing costs.
Although its size is larger than the Pioneer-class land destroyer.
But in fact, as long as there is an adequate supply of parts, it only takes about 5 hours to assemble the entire ship.
With the full output of the super factory.
The assembly workshop located on the ground floor of a farmyard can produce hundreds of ships a day.
The transport capacity of an Ice Lake-class transport ship is enough to match that of a caravan.
Just 5 days.
The first batch of 500 Ice Lake-class transport ships were built.
Its transport capacity exceeds the total transport capacity of 450 caravans.
This is equivalent to doubling Su Wu's transportation capacity on the surface.
For this new transportation force.
Su Wu did not immediately put it into the queue for transporting supplies to Zhenhai City.
Instead, they are grouped into groups of ten.
Let them start with Jianghe City.
Revisit all the affiliated shelters and mines from near to far.
All the ordinary resources that have not been transported away yet due to their low unit value, as well as second-hand equipment with recycling value, will be packed up and taken away.
Even down to the concrete walls that made up the shelter itself.
Su Wu was not spared either.
A batch of engineering equipment was directly transported there.
Crush it and separate it.
Among them, metal resources such as construction steel bars were taken away directly.
The concrete is crushed into powder on site.
It is then made into quick cement and transported back to the farmyard.
Concrete that forms the bulk of the shelter's frame.
Calculate by weight.
Of this, about 10% to 15% is limestone, and about 10% is steel.
In essence, it can actually be regarded as a limestone and iron mine of decent quality.
Has value to be mined and recycled.
At the same time, in order to speed up the recycling efficiency in this regard.
Su Wu specially modified ten Ice Lake-class transport ships, each of which was equipped with a small, mobile, fast cement production line.
They were assigned to 10 transport ship formations.
To facilitate transfer between the various demolished subsidiary shelters.
"This is considered scraping the ground three feet."
"Nothing of value will be left behind."
Looking at the holographic projection.
After being violently demolished by engineering machinery and looted by the Ice Lake-class transport ship, only a sunken pit remained of the attached shelter.
Su Wu's mood was a little subtle for a moment.
I feel like I'm going a bit too far.
Except for the shelters located underground which are relatively easy to mine.
Su Wu did not spare the city ruins on the surface during this operation.
They even specially produced a batch of engineering equipment that is not afraid of low temperatures and cold currents and is specifically used for collecting it.
However, it has been almost a year since the end of the world.
There are only a few building ruins left on the ground.
Most of them were lost in the many earthquakes.
Or maybe it is buried deep in the ice and is no longer worth mining.
The overall benefits from recycling urban ruins are not much greater than those from demolishing attached underground shelters.
This also led to rapid progress in surface recycling work.
Often a county town.
It just took a few hours, or maybe a dozen hours.
It can be plundered completely, leaving only a piece of white land in its place.
In addition, for mines located deep in mountainous areas with complex terrain.
The Ice Lake-class transport ship will not go directly deep into it.
It will first use the building tools and quick cement materials it carries.
Between the mine and the edge of the mountain.
Quickly build a vacuum transport channel.
Then a miniature version of the mobile construction waste treatment center was airlifted over by a sixth-generation fighter jet.
The output of the mine.
It was first quickly ejected to the edge of the mountain area and then loaded onto the Ice Lake-class transport ship.
this way.
Convenience is convenience.
The biggest disadvantage is that the constructed vacuum transport channel is difficult to be reused as a permanent building.
Often after a week or two, or half a month.
It may be destroyed by various geological disasters.
If you want to use it again, you have to spend a lot of resources to rebuild it.
However, this defect is not seen by Su Wu, who is now somewhat wealthy.
It's not that important anymore.
This waste is completely acceptable as long as it speeds up the overall transportation transfer.
Accompanied by a holographic map.
The area around the Kuanjiang River Basin starts from the territory near Jianghe City.
All material storage locations were emptied bit by bit.
The farmyard shelter has entered a phase where resource inventories continue to surge.
In just two or three days.
This made up for the material consumption in manufacturing the first batch of Ice Lake-class transport ships.
Even beyond that.
And when there is sufficient material inventory.
Su Wu also began to manufacture the second batch of Ice Lake-class transport ships.
And it’s different from the beginning.
This time, Su Wu cancelled the original limit on the total manufacturing quantity.
As long as resources do not fall below the inventory warning line.
Then the super factory will start working at full capacity.
Maintaining a daily production of 100 Ice Lake-class transport ships, the transport capacity is continuously accumulated.
"Since current practice has proven that the Ice Lake-class transport ship is low-cost and easy to use."
“Then there’s no reason to limit its number.”
“Do your best to produce.”
"Take all the resources that can be plundered from the surface back to the farmyard as quickly as possible."
Looking at the farmyard silently, all the data were growing almost exponentially.
Su Wu had a vague feeling that he was standing at a turning point of the times.
That feeling.
It was as if he had not had time to prepare himself, the tide of the times had already pushed him to a height that he could only look up to once.
“Also, along the Kuanjiang River.”
“It’s time to uproot the last dozen or so official shelters.”
Looking at the map, the Ice Lake-class transport ships gradually cleared out one area after another.
Those were located on the Kuanjiang River sweep route.
A refuge not under Su Wu's control.
It is particularly eyesore.
Just a moment of hesitation.
Su Wu decided to knock them down one by one while looting supplies.
Nowadays, the strength of the farmyard is increasing rapidly every moment.
There is no need to fear accountability from the capital of East Continent or even the federal government.
The time for all-out confrontation may not be here yet.
But there is no problem in simply making enemies with those super cities that stand behind the official shelters in the Kuanjiang River Basin.
“It’s just a regional conflict anyway.”
"Plus."
"This place has actually been abandoned by the capital of Dongzhou a long time ago."
"No matter how big the commotion gets, it is unlikely to turn into a full-scale war with the capital of Dongzhou."
The importance of intelligence is once again profoundly demonstrated at this moment.
At the beginning, Su Wu fought for the Steel City.
They even went so far as to mobilize the Eden satellite and launch space-based weapons.
The war spread directly to the capital of Dongzhou.
Be prepared to do whatever it takes.
It caused a huge commotion.
Now it seems that this is a bit too much. The other party has actually completely abandoned Steel City and even all places outside the Western Wasteland Plateau.
There is absolutely no motivation to go to war with him over this.
At that time, as long as we could show a certain level of strength, we could threaten the capital of Dongzhou.
The rest can actually be discussed slowly.
Good talk.
Not to mention Gangcheng, even Chongzhou City, 300 kilometers away, currently looks extremely prosperous and wealthy.
It’s not impossible to get it.
"But it's not too late."
"Even if we get them at that time, we won't be able to bring back too many resources."
"Now cooperate with the Ice Lake-class transport ship."
“In fact, you can only do it if you have the ability to truly digest them.”
"After we finish dealing with the affairs of Xiaojiang Province."
"Let's go talk to the capital of Dongzhou."
"Look at the population and resources that want to buy Lower Dongzhou."
“Whatever it will cost.”
4 month 17 day.
The engineering team has gradually completed the expansion of the 11th and 12th underground floors of the farmhouse courtyard, which was planned to accommodate the population of Xiaojiang Province.
300 caravans worked day and night to transport 2600 million survivors from the Zhenhai shelter back to their farmhouses.
The population of the entire farmyard shelter officially exceeded 1 million.
A battle that suddenly broke out in the Qinling Mountains disrupted Su Wu's development plan.
This forced him to turn his attention to a place that he had not paid attention to for a long time.
In the lava canyon surrounded by various permanent and semi-permanent automatic turrets.
Almost at the same time, a large number of new evolved amethysts emerged.
They use combat power that is almost terrifying, as well as unprecedented new tactics.
This brought tremendous pressure to the entire blockade line.
boom!
Thousands of lava shells streaked across the sky.
It was like a red meteor shower, spanning a distance of more than ten kilometers.
It accurately hit the fixed artillery positions and the positions where the mechanical army was assembled.
A large number of defensive weapons, including a Thunder-class optoelectronic cannon, were destroyed on the spot.
Then the earth shook.
Purple crystals all over the mountains began to gather on one side and rushed towards the defense line.
A rough scan revealed that there were over 10 amethyst crystals.
The AI's highest level alarm was triggered.
Keep it within the optimal range of most turrets before the purple crystals enter.
A large number of rockets were activated in advance.
But this time.
Some of the rockets that had remotely locked onto the purple crystal began to report abnormalities.
They lock onto their target.
As if splitting, it appeared at two different coordinates.
"An unusual source of interference has been detected."
“Begin to analyze the reasons.”
"Reconnaissance drone activated, conducting battlefield search and scan."
"The source of the anomaly has been confirmed."
"New type of interference evolution purple crystal."
"Begin the decapitation tactic."
These are photos taken by high-speed cameras of battlefield reconnaissance drones.
Several evolved amethysts that are only the size of adult dogs.
Singled out by artificial intelligence.
Then put up a priority kill mark.
It only took a dozen seconds.
Dozens of rockets whizzed in.
The warhead carrying metallic hydrogen caused a series of huge explosions.
These are several disruptive evolved amethysts.
He was killed instantly without any ability to resist.
And after this brief delay.
Amethyst had quickly closed the distance to the defense line.
Start with the mechanical army stationed there.
There was a back-and-forth exchange of fire.
Looking down from the sky.
this moment.
It was like a huge wave from the ocean, hitting the embankment.
There were thrilling waves.
One side of the battlefield.
The familiar and frequent whistling sounds spread far in the air.
A barrage of heavy artillery shells.
From front to back, plow through the areas where amethysts gather one by one.
In the huge explosion shock wave.
Violently tearing hundreds of purple crystals into pieces.
This is a cluster of heavy artillery deployed by Su Wu in the Qinling Mountains, which is present in almost every large-scale battle.
Routine cleaning of the battlefield.
But just like before, accidents happened frequently.
This time.
Amethyst no longer passively took the beating.
Instead, they launched a counterattack in the direction of the heavy artillery attack.
A huge mass of magma with a diameter of 10 meters.
Dozens of evolved purple crystals worked together to throw it towards the location of the heavy artillery cluster.
Ten seconds later.
Huge earthquakes occurred at the foot of the Qinling Mountains.
Air defense weapon interception failed.
There was no time to evacuate the heavy artillery group from the original position within a dozen seconds.
It suffered the biggest loss since its construction.
A full one-third of the vehicle-mounted howitzers melted into a pile of scrap metal under the extremely high temperature of the incoming magma.
“This has been secretly accumulated for a long time.”
"Ready for a big one?"
Received a warning from artificial intelligence halfway.
Switch the surveillance footage to Su Wu on the Qinling Mountain battlefield.
Watched most of the battle.
Feeling a bit tricky.
Amethyst obviously has targeted countermeasures for many of his weapons and equipment.
It's no longer a one-sided beating.
under these circumstances.
To deploy military forces in the Qinling Mountains area.
It's not impossible to continue to confront Amethyst head-on.
But in terms of cost performance.
But it’s not very cost-effective.
"The military technological advantage over Amethyst."
"It looks like it can no longer be maintained."
"But we can't lift the blockade immediately."
"There are still 600 million people in Zhenhai City who have not moved from the seaside to the farmyards."
“And the last few official shelters in the Kuanjiang River Basin that were just knocked out.”
"The millions of people and supplies inside."
"I haven't had time to search yet."
"No matter what, we have to hold on for a while longer."
Slightly in contemplation.
Su Wu was carrying out material handover in a farmyard with hundreds of Qingkong-class transport drones and forty or fifty sixth-generation fighter jets.
They are temporarily removed from the transport queue.
Let them bring aerial bombs instead.
Take a trip to Qinling Mountains.
As the saying goes, great strength works miracles.
Since we don't want to suffer too much loss on the defense line, but we also want the defense line to hold out for a little longer.
We can only resort to saturation bombing.
First crush all the purple crystals that dare to show up.
This is the best way to resolve all battles.
The only bad thing.
It just wastes too much ammunition.
It's ok occasionally, but not for a long time.
Even Su Wu, who was wealthy and powerful, could not sustain it.
