Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

among snow-covered hills.

Meng Hui drove the off-road vehicle carefully and drove slowly on the road with a family of five.

On the road, there was already snow that had been crushed into chunks.

From time to time, the car body shakes up and down.

It feels like walking on a rugged mountain road.

This is the no man's land between Jianghe City and Tumen City.

If Meng Hui was only allowed to drive through by himself, he would definitely not dare.

In the wild, the snow is one or two meters thick.

Whenever something goes wrong with the vehicle.

What awaits him is a narrow escape adventure.

However, if you are following a large group of people, real-time prompts from artificial intelligence will come from time to time in the Bluetooth headsets in your ears.

That's another story.

This is a kind of walking through the wilderness where people are watching you all the time and there are people in front and behind you.

It can usually be called a safe journey without risks.

Round a bend.

A bus ahead with red fog lights flashing appeared in Meng Hui's field of vision.

"The road ahead goes straight for 7.2 kilometers. Please keep a 50-meter distance from the car in front."

The voice from artificial intelligence sounded in his ears at the right time.

In a trance.

It made him feel like he was back in the pre-apocalypse, a normal day when he used navigation software to drive.

It's just different from that time.

It means that he can overtake and change routes at will without listening to the prompts of the navigation software.

But for artificial intelligence’s tips, it’s best not to violate any of them.

Otherwise, someone might actually die.

Recall a somewhat bloody scene.

Meng Hui's face became unsightly.

The movements of his hands became more and more regular.

He started to slow down when he was far away, and followed the bus obediently six to seventy meters away.

Continue on for a kilometer or two.

Meng Hui suddenly noticed the already slow bus in front of him.

It also significantly reduces the driving speed by one section.

And just as he was doubting.

An armored vehicle with a crawler chassis, larger than a large truck, and a strange appearance passed by the bus.

With a vague roar, it drove towards him.

"What is this?"

Meng Hui's pupils narrowed slightly as he looked at it, and he subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

An emergency stop.

A few seconds later.

The armored car came to his level.

Looking closely.

The thick armor and large size of the opposing vehicle make it even more impactful.

It directly blocked most of Meng Hui's field of vision.

This is also the time.

Only then did Meng Hui notice that he seemed a bit hasty in describing the steel behemoth opposite as an armored vehicle.

Because it is much longer than an armored vehicle.

And just like a train, there is a series of long carriages connected behind it.

"Wow, it's a caravan from Jianghe City!"

On the back seat.

The cry of surprise from his son, who was only seven or eight years old, reached Meng Hui's ears.

Meng Hui turned around.

I found that the little guy was lying in front of the car window excitedly, looking at the moving train with bright eyes.

It was like meeting a legendary idol.

"Caravan—"

Being reminded like this, Meng Hui also remembered the news about Jianghe City that he had seen.

There does seem to be mention of such a special team.

But the one he saw in front of him had obviously undergone a completely new modification.

It was different from what was reported on TV.

As a result, he failed to connect the two together in the first place.

Quietly waiting for this surprisingly long convoy, like the Great Steel Wall, to pass by.

Meng Hui slowly broke free from the shock.

He returned his attention to the front.

Start the car and follow the bus that starts moving again.

The encounter with the caravan can only be regarded as an episode.

They still have to continue to the location of Jianghe City.

There is a legendary super shelter with a population of tens of millions.

It will also be their new home in the future.

However, he couldn't be sure whether life would be better or worse by then.

Jianghe City, city ruins.

Here today.

Compared with a few days ago, it is completely different.

The two-lane road extending in all directions runs through every corner of the ruined city.

No matter where in the ruins you want to go.

You can drive directly to a location no more than 200 meters away.

And the snow in the driveway.

It was also cleared away and piled up on both sides of the road.

A snow wall two to three meters high was formed.

Originally, the best way to deal with snow on the road was to spray snow melting agent.

But the entire Jianghe City.

The quantity of snow melting agent in stock is very small.

Temporary production and manufacturing seemed wasteful to Su Wu who was poor in materials in the apocalypse.

Therefore, we can only take a step back and choose the most direct physical removal method.

Whenever there is snow on the road, the accumulation exceeds 20 centimeters.

Just mobilize collectively once.

Bring forklifts, bulldozers, and workers wearing exoskeleton armor.

The road was swept again.

Other than that.

Taking into account the need for non-stop construction day and night, and the frequent heavy snow that blocks the view.

both sides of the road.

Rows of street lights powered by solid-state batteries have also been erected.

Let the whole city lie in ruins.

Regardless of day or night, the brightness is always maintained at a certain level.

And in such a mobilization of troops and crowds.

Transport efficiency on the surface.

It has been raised to a level close to the end of the world.

every hour.

There are hundreds of thousands of tons of construction waste and various materials, as well as thousands of people and their luggage and belongings.

Transportation network through the surface.

They were transported to various affiliated shelters and farmyards far away on the outskirts of the city.

"There are currently 7 underground floors in the core area of ​​the farmhouse."

"Except for professional thermal power plants, all other spaces that have been converted into warehouses are close to saturation."

"Nearly 240,000 tons of finished metal and rubber, 20,000 tons of water, and more than 8,000 tons of coal are stored."

"Even the nearby Lime Medium Refuge."

"The space that can be squeezed out is almost filled with supplies."

"The electric arc furnace, scrap removal shop, plantation, and almost all the residents, etc. that were originally placed there were relocated to other attached shelters."

"Only the platform responsible for transferring the miniature trains in the underground tunnel has been preserved."

Although Jianghe City is not rich in supplies.

Calculating the number per capita, it is even more extremely poor.

But when they gathered together towards the farmyard, they still looked like a vast sea.

The original warehouse capacity was insufficient, which was expected.

The only thing I didn't expect was the restoration of the ground transportation network.

This situation has come so early.

"The transfer of materials cannot be stopped."

"We can only free up two more underground buildings adjacent to the Lime Shelter to continue the diversion."

"There are also 7 underground floors of the farmhouse, located in the second ring area close to the core area."

"You can also free up some space and continue to transform it into a warehouse."

Su Wu looked at the underground structure diagram of the farmyard.

Re-plan the internal functional areas.

Make trade-offs based on importance.

Except for him.

Others did not stop working.

The 30 arc furnaces located in various affiliated shelters are operating day and night.

While consuming huge amounts of power.

More than 7,000 tons of various finished metals are smelted every day.

These metals will still have a small amount left after supporting the large-scale expansion of the underground shelter in the farmyard.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

It can be used to make snow transport vehicles, heavy-duty main battle spider robots, and various simple power tools for single use.

And the increase in these mechanical equipment.

In turn, the overall labor force in Jianghe City has been continuously improved.

Speeded up the expansion of the shelter, as well as the recovery of urban ruins resources, the scale of foreign trade, mining and transportation.

Get more resources.

A positive cycle that continues to expand outward is formed.

In the early stage, Su Wu took in the huge population regardless of the cost.

Now, it is beginning to gradually unleash its potential.

After adjusting the functional areas of the farmhouse.

Su Wu opened the system panel again.

In these two or three days.

Along with the four main passages, the second ring area on the 7th floor underground of the farmyard continues to expand and extend outwards.

Accommodate more labor force.

A total of more than 300,000 square meters of huge new space has been opened up.

This space, which is equivalent to the size of five aircraft carriers, finally allowed Su Wu to stay at the shelter level for a long time and continue to advance further.

It has been upgraded from the lowest [explored medium-sized shelter] to the second-level [vast medium-sized shelter].

This level of improvement.

There is no amount to increase the daily fixed survival point income.

It’s still 5 o’clock every day.

But an additional reward of 150 survival points was given at one time.

And get this huge amount of survival points, plus the part of the savings accumulated through hard work before.

It is basically enough to carry out an overall improvement of the farmhouse.

compensate for its fatal flaws.

“The first thing that needs to be strengthened is still the computing power of artificial intelligence.”

"Currently, the farmyard has 5 bases of computing power, including micro mechas and base vehicles."

"The upper limit of computing power is 7."

“It’s best to continue adding 3 more bases to bring the total computing power to 10.”

Su Wu's current power.

Almost all management systems rely on artificial intelligence.

This way.

Of course, it avoids all kinds of corruption, bullying, power struggles and other defects caused by human beings as management.

But it also takes up a lot of computing power.

In addition, they control equipment and mechanical troops in certain core areas, assist in laboratory research, conduct industrial production, and so on.

The original computing power is often insufficient.

The computing power must be expanded again as soon as possible.

And at the same time.

Take advantage of this opportunity to expand.

Su Wu also used the super laptop that previously carried artificial intelligence and computing power, as well as several other desktop computers.

All merged into one whole.

Form a supercomputing center.

The newly born supercomputing center is located next to the control center.

The computing power has reached 8 bases.

And just like before, it can continue to expand its computing power at will.

The cost is still 15 survival points, which can be increased by one base.

No more, no less.

“With these 10 bases of computing power.”

"At least until the population reaches 50 million in the future, there should be no need to worry about insufficient supply."

"Then, we will consider strengthening the security of the farmyard."

The current farmhouse.

Due to the use of rapid cement and multi-ring structure.

Located in the innermost core area.

In the face of natural disasters such as earthquakes, it is actually quite safe.

But the flaws are also obvious.

It lacks specialized air defense capabilities.

Facing attacks from the sky, especially from human earth-penetrating missiles and low-Earth orbit weapons.

It is difficult to resist effectively.

According to the records in Su Wu's hands.

The Federation's latest generation of low-Earth orbit weapons.

It is enough to penetrate a large mountain.

With this kind of weapon strength.

Even if Su Wu's farmyard is finally built.

If you anger the top federal officials who control low-Earth orbit weapons.

It is also possible to be completely destroyed overnight.

"Although the chance is very small."

"But no matter what, we still can't put our own safety and the lives of tens of millions of people in Jianghe City at risk."

"It all depends on someone's thoughts."

"Be prepared for the worst."

Prepare for the worst.

It was hit by a low-Earth orbit weapon carrying a nuclear warhead.

Face that kind of high-speed attack from outer space.

Ordinary anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles have no meaning.

The only effective means of defense.

Probably only full-fledged laser weapons.

And laser weapons.

Su Wu studied the anti-aircraft components on the micro mecha through reverse engineering.

Several inferior laser weapons have been imitated a long time ago.

Although they cannot be used in actual combat.

But all the necessary parts are there.

Su Wu can completely upgrade it using survival points to obtain more powerful advanced weapons of the same series.

Drag out a replica laser weapon.

After investing a full 150 survival points.

Su Wu got his wish and obtained three real laser air defense weapons.

And placed it on the surface of the farmyard.

[Prismatic laser defense array is online. ]

[Self-test successful. ]

[Networked multi-source air radar. ]

[The current monitoring distance is 4500 kilometers to the air. ]

[Current airspace safety value, high. ]

Along with artificial intelligence, laser defense weapons have been included in the control list.

In the upper right corner of the home page of the console screen.

There is now a permanent hemispherical blue icon.

That represents the detection radar that comes with the laser air defense weapon.

The sky will be centered on the farmhouse and within a radius of 4,500 kilometers.

are included in the monitoring.

From now on, within this range, any high-speed missiles and aircraft that may pose a threat to the farmyard will be eliminated.

will be automatically displayed above.

and was intercepted remotely by laser anti-aircraft weapons.

"When we have time in the future, we will continue to strengthen and thicken the bases of these three laser weapon turrets."

“It is best if the base is fixed directly to the exterior wall of the underground shelter.”

"Then the top of the fort must be able to be closed at will, and when necessary, it must be able to sink to the ground to avoid danger."

The sum of three laser anti-aircraft weapons is almost equal to the cost of a micro mecha.

But they themselves are extremely fragile.

If it is hit by an individual rocket at random, it may be scrapped on the spot.

In order to be able to take into account air defense and ensure the safety of the weapon itself.

Su Wu could only put the thickest armor on it wherever he could think of.
