Chapter 311: The Destroyed Super City
Chapter 311: The Destroyed Super City
First of all, it is the largest subsidiary shelter in Su Wu's hands.
One of the former super cities, Steel City.
The total amount of fuel and coal stored in it is even slightly more than that in Zhenhai City.
These fuels were originally considered to be inferior resources, and it was unknown how long it would take before they could be transported on a large scale to farmers' yards.
After Su Wu also erected a large-scale power transmission device for the steel city.
It was revitalized.
At the same time, since Steel City itself is a heavy industrial city, many power generation equipment are left behind.
Even without Su Wu's assistance.
It can also be assembled into a 7500 million kilowatt generator set.
Therefore, the moment the generator group at the seaside shelter was built.
In Gangcheng, the construction of the corresponding power plant has also been completed simultaneously.
It can burn nearly 2 tons of fuel or coal per hour.
The generated electricity is remotely transmitted back to the farmyard.
"We can produce a batch of thermal power generating units for Gangcheng in the future."
"Increase the capacity of the power plant over there to 1 million kilowatts."
Su Wu marked it in the development log.
The biggest difference between Gangcheng and the coastal mountainous area.
The reason is that the former has a group of mature shelters, which far exceeds the latter in terms of environmental safety.
By analogy, it is like the difference between permanent and temporary buildings.
This allowed Su Wu to invest more resources in Gangcheng with confidence.
In exchange for a long-term and stable electricity income.
In addition to building a second large-scale power transmission channel in Gangcheng, the fuel stored in Gangcheng can be transmitted back to the farmers' courtyards in the form of electricity.
According to Su Wu's plan.
The steel city will also be responsible for the task of power transfer.
As an accessory to large power transmission equipment.
The effective distance of small power transmission devices is 100 kilometers.
At the same time, they can be networked and connected in series.
All affiliated shelters within one or two hundred kilometers around the steel city.
Just set up a small power transmission device.
It is very convenient to generate electricity on site and gather the excess electricity to the steel city first.
Then it is transmitted to the farmyard through the large power transmission channel there.
Form a power transmission network with a wide coverage area and relatively low construction cost.
However, the materials used to make small power transmission devices are quite common.
Its transmission limit is only 10 kilowatts.
This is a thousand or two times lower than the transmission limit of 1 million to 2 million kilowatts of large-scale power transmission devices.
In actual use, it is difficult to use it to connect a power transmission line that is too long.
Once the distance between them exceeds two or three hundred kilometers, or if too many shelters are connected at the same time.
From a cost perspective, it would be cheaper and more cost-effective to install a large-scale power transmission device.
"In the future, low-value resources such as fuel."
“It can be completely eliminated from the list of regular transport.”
"They will all be transported by electricity, efficiently and quickly, and at almost zero cost to farmers' yards."
"in other words."
"From this moment on, fuel is no longer a useless thing that takes up a lot of transportation power and makes circulation difficult."
“Rather, it is a consumable that can be easily exchanged for an equivalent amount of electricity.”
Previous human society.
The only way to store electricity for a long time.
It means stockpiling fuel for power generation.
Then, based on how much electricity will be needed in the future, we will go on site to adjust the power generation of the power plant accordingly.
Transmitting electricity is also a challenge.
Especially in the end-time environment.
Need to face various natural disasters frequently.
Long-distance transmission has become almost impossible.
And when these two levels.
With the combined effect of a ball lightning control chamber that can store almost unlimited amounts of electricity, and a large-scale power transmission device that can transmit electricity across thousands of kilometers without laying lines along the way.
After being completely crushed.
There is nothing that can prevent electricity from becoming a true energy currency.
All resources that can generate electricity.
They can also be regarded as gold mines that can produce almost universal energy currency.
At this moment, the value of coal mines and oil fields increased significantly to a level close to or even exceeding the level before the end of the world.
"For coal and oil mining."
“It’s going to be put on the agenda.”
"We also need to manufacture a batch of mobile standard power generation equipment."
"It allows it to be easily transported by air or land according to different specifications."
"Reach any corner of Dongzhou where fuel is stored."
“Money out of that fuel there quickly.”
"Then, the first batch of mobile power generation equipment."
"We strive to increase the total power generation capacity to 1.5 million kilowatts."
"In this case, add the two places in Steel City and the coastal mountain area."
"Under ideal circumstances."
"The power generation capacity can reach 3 million kWh per hour."
“It’s almost 100 times more than the current electricity consumption of a small farmyard.”
A portable standard power generation equipment.
For now.
It is still an item in a conceptual state.
It requires a certain amount of spiritual effort to conduct research before it can be truly manufactured.
Su Wu’s requirements for it.
It is compact and convenient while being fuel efficient.
It also cannot be much lower than the current large-scale thermal power plants.
It is best if both can be kept in the same range.
Only in this way can we maximize the potential of every fuel resource scattered throughout Dongzhou.
Avoid excessive waste.
And in this way, it is obvious.
Under the same specifications.
Its manufacturing cost will certainly exceed those semi-permanent fixed thermal power generating units in steel cities and coastal mountainous areas.
You should be more cautious in using them.
They need to be avoided from being exposed to dangerous environments as much as possible.
At the same time, the total power generation capacity is 3 million kilowatts.
In fact, it has far exceeded Su Wu's current needs.
Its scale is almost equivalent to 100 ordinary nuclear power plants that Su Wu built outside the farmhouse before, responsible for supplying daily electricity to the entire farmhouse.
These generators produce excess electricity.
All of them will be stored in the ball lightning control chamber, and will become the confidence for Su Wu to face all challenges in the future.
"Also, it can store electricity."
"It means that electricity can also be transmitted in the reverse direction to various parts of Dongzhou."
"There are always some shelters that lack electricity due to insufficient fuel reserves and other unexpected situations."
"Just throw a small power transmission device towards them."
“You can trade electricity with them.”
"This is another means of transaction that affects the basis of survival."
"As long as I can exchange it for some gold and silver, it won't be a loss."
The golden scale owned by Su Wu.
Gold and silver can be exchanged for nuclear fuel.
In other words, only more than 8000 tons of gold are needed to generate electricity equivalent to million cubic meters of fuel oil in the coastal mountain warehouse.
In terms of weight, the difference is more than two million times.
This is enough to prove that the importance of these precious metals to Su Wu has risen to a strategic level.
As long as you can use electricity to exchange for gold and silver from other shelters.
No matter how much or how little you change.
There is a high probability that Su Wu's side will make a huge profit.
After adjusting the future development direction, Su Wu once again set his sights on the distant space.
After all, transmitting electricity on the ground is not as convenient as transmitting via satellite.
However, a large-scale power transmission device can transmit electricity up to 1000 kilometers away.
But compared to the vast space, this distance is so small that it is almost negligible.
Don't say anything else.
It is just the Eden satellite that is currently hanging high in the synchronous orbit.
It is more than 3 kilometers away from the ground.
1000 kilometers can only touch a fraction of it.
However, it is impossible for satellites in near-Earth orbit, which is closer, to stay in the same place all the time.
We want to achieve the idea of using satellites as a relay to transmit electricity in real time.
This can only be achieved by using a network of multiple low-Earth orbit satellites.
"A large power transmission device with a total mass of more than 200 tons."
"Considering the current harsh space environment."
“It must also have certain defensive capabilities and mobility.”
"Ultimately, a satellite with the function of transmitting electricity will have to have a total mass of at least 230 tons."
"And the aviation rockets we currently have."
“The maximum carrying capacity is only about 20 tons.”
"It would take at least a dozen consecutive launches to put an electric satellite into low-Earth orbit."
"And then they need to be combined and installed together in space."
"The degree of difficulty has increased several times."
Just a little thought.
Su Wu could feel the difficulty of this and it was not something he could challenge now.
However, there is no need to wait too long.
As long as the seventh-generation fighter jets are successfully developed in the future.
Produce a low-Earth orbit transport ship of the aerospace carrier level.
Using satellites to relay and transmit electricity is no longer a fantasy.
4 month 10 day.
When the caravan was transferring the second batch of 2 million Zhenhai people to Jianghe City.
A shelter in Zhenhai City, more than 100 kilometers from the coastline.
After holding on for several days, they could no longer withstand the increasingly intense geological activities.
First is the passage between the residential safety zone and the exit station.
Twisted and broken by a huge force.
The entire residential safety zone slid into the volcanic magma below.
Then there was the fuel depot which had become an empty shell.
The wall is cracked.
A large amount of sea water, which had become boiling hot due to the heating of the magma, rushed in violently.
in just a few minutes.
It completely filled up the huge warehouse and washed up on the isolation door between the warehouse and the outside world.
At last.
Seven undersea passages connect the stations.
It was broken into several pieces one after another.
Thousands of subway trains and large and medium-sized trucks will still be running inside.
All buried in the sea.
at this time.
Despite the 7 exit stations being specially reinforced with quick cement.
Still able to hold on.
But the outside world has changed from occasional to daily violent seabed tremors.
But the cost of repairing the undersea channel.
Improved countless times.
No longer feasible.
The operation to rescue supplies from the Zhenhai City shelter was officially declared over.
Su Wu was in this action.
In the end, a total of about 9200 million tons of general materials, 8000 million cubic meters of fuel, and hundreds of thousands of tons of rare resources were obtained.
Basically, most of the shelters in Zhenhai City were emptied.
Although in the end.
There are still about 4000 million tons of ordinary resources, a large number of light industrial products used in the daily lives of tens of millions of residents, and a variety of basic equipment to ensure the operation of the shelters that have not been transported away in time.
But compared to the harvest, these are actually not very important.
"Let them sleep in the exit station for now."
"Wait until future technology is upgraded to a certain level."
"It can withstand frequent earthquakes and supersonic storms at a low cost."
"Then take over those resources that were not transported away in time."
After taking one last look with some regret, I saw that there were only 7 exit stations left in the Zhenhai City shelter.
Su Wu ordered the robot army stranded in the seven stations.
An order to return from the seabed on its own.
Different from humans.
The robot army does not require any life-support equipment.
Have enough power to move directly in the water.
However, in the current chaotic seabed environment.
These robots want to cross a distance of more than 100 kilometers and successfully reach the coastline.
It is basically impossible to achieve without losing more than half of the quantity.
For these losses.
Su Wu had been prepared and was not too heartbroken.
The value created by robots in the past few days has exceeded their own value many times.
I can die without regrets.
The relocation of the Zhenhai City shelter was completed.
It means the edge of Su Wu's sphere of influence.
Moved to the coastline where there are mainly seaside shelters.
Since then, the search and rescue operations for other underwater refuges have continued but have gradually begun to shrink in scale.
Su Wu's defense center.
It can be completely placed in those temporary warehouses in the coastal mountainous areas.
"The coastal mountain area is currently dominated by factories, robots, and ordinary inedible resources."
"There were no humans or food."
"Not much appeal for purple crystals."
"So there won't be much defensive pressure."
"Leaving behind about 10 ordinary spider robots and a Pioneer-class land destroyer is enough."
"The remaining armed forces."
"You can all follow the caravan, including the remaining 2000 million people in Zhenhai who have not yet been able to relocate."
"As long as within the next ten days."
"Bring these people to the farmyard as well."
"The mission of taking over Zhenhai City is now successfully completed."
“The next stage.”
"It's time to start taking action against Xiaojiang Province."
Regarding the Xiaojiang Province that was traded from Song Hong.
Su Wu responded with great expectations.
Not only does it have a population twice that of Zhenhai City.
There are also rich natural resources there, especially the copper mine with reserves of over 1000 million.
Su Wu couldn't help but want to go there and dig it himself.
Because of copper mines.
It is one of the most important basic materials for making snow transport vehicles and land warships.
As long as there is an ample supply of copper ore.
Su Wu could immediately launch another large-scale production activity.
After receiving the resources of Zhenhai City.
The number of caravans had already leapt to 450.
Continue to expand to more than 600.
