Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

February 13th.

The surface of the farmyard, which looked like a giant construction site, gradually returned to calm.

The Gobi Desert, hills, villages, farmland ruins, and other areas that once covered this area, along with the snow that covered them, were all cleared away.

Instead, there was a smooth and vast concrete floor.

In between, there are some scattered buildings standing on it.

After a week of continuous construction.

With the efforts of tens of millions of people and the help of countless mechanical tools.

The construction of the farmyard has been completed from the 5th underground floor to the 1st underground floor.

The super shelter that Su Wu had drawn in his design drawings has now all turned from blueprints into reality.

This huge change is first reflected on the system panel.

It is the level of the shelter, which has been upgraded by several levels from the original medium-sized shelter.

Directly promoted to a super shelter.

Daily fixed survival points increased from 5 to 8.

Taking into account the additional bonus brought by the parallel natural disasters, the actual survival points obtained every day are guaranteed to be above 11 points.

And besides that.

Su Wu also received a one-time reward of 1,200 survival points in total.

This huge amount of survival point reward is extremely crucial for Su Wu.

As soon as it arrives.

Su Wu didn't even let it exist on the panel for more than a minute before he used it all up.

A full 1,500 survival points.

Includes all one-time rewards from shelter upgrades, past daily fixed survival point accumulation, and occasional income from daily tasks.

All invested in the same upgrade.

Finally, the first generation of quantum computers was obtained.

The total computing power of Su Wu Shelter increased by a thousand times.

“Before the upgrade, the total computing power was 10 bases.”

"In reality, only about 1,000 spider robots can be fully controlled at the same time."

"Compared to the millions of robots and vehicles in the shelter today, this is just a drop in the bucket."

"The actual operation authority of all robots can only be handed over to the remote control center."

"Now it has been upgraded to a quantum computer, expanding the computing power base to 10,000."

"You can actually fully control a million spider robots at the same time."

Control and complete control are two concepts.

Pure data analysis and some simple, repetitive operations.

It does not require much computing power.

In the case of manual operation mainly and computer assistance.

A base level of computing power is enough to support the activities of millions of spider robots.

As for simpler humanoid service robots and robot dogs, their consumption is so low that it can be ignored.

Complete control, however, is another matter.

The computing power it consumes will rise sharply.

The improvement in the actual performance of the robot is far less obvious than the extra computing power it consumes.

It is an extremely uneconomical thing.

However, nothing is absolute.

Especially on the battlefield.

The small increase in combat effectiveness brought about by complete control becomes quite important.

It may be the key to determining the final victory or defeat.

"Under normal circumstances."

"There's no need to fully control such a large number of robots."

“The enormous computing power of quantum computers.”

"The real use lies in managing the daily affairs of the farmyard and being responsible for the frontline battlefield in the Qinling Mountains."

As in the past week.

Two large-scale population migrations were completed successively.

Inside the entire farmyard shelter.

The total population has officially exceeded 40 million.

Such a large population brings with it various needs and problems.

The level of complexity is far greater than in the past.

Relying only on the computing power of the past 10 bases.

When it comes to handling affairs, artificial intelligence already appears to be somewhat sluggish.

This was also after Su Wu had earned thousands of survival points.

This is why we are so eager to increase computing power at one time.

Upgrade completed.

Wake up artificial intelligence and reactivate control over every corner of the farmyard.

Su Wu tested it a bit and soon discovered something.

Artificial intelligence runs more smoothly.

The overall efficiency of handling affairs has been improved by at least 50% compared with before.

And even so, it only accounts for about 1.2 thousandth of the total computing power.

Su Wu deeply felt the vastness and abundance of the remaining computing power.

“There’s so much computing power.”

For a moment, Su Wu felt both the satisfaction of having become rich, and a sense of confusion as to how to spend it all.

That feeling is just like when you traveled through time and equipped your computer with the best graphics card, but the games you play on a daily basis are still the same old online games.

Thought for a while.

He opened the structural diagram of the farmyard shelter.

The shelter has now completed the final roofing work.

From the outside, it looks like a complete building.

But there are still many areas inside that need to be improved and renovated.

Many people don’t even have a standard dormitory to live in and can only make do with tents.

As for the plantations and activity areas which were given lower construction priority, there was no sign of them happening.

And that's besides the point.

The poor air quality in the shelter is also an issue that needs attention.

The refuge area where Su Wu himself moved around.

Because it has the air circulation system that was first upgraded using the survival point.

The quality always remains at a level comparable to the top natural scenic spots before the end of the world.

But outside the core area.

There will be no such good treatment.

The air circulation system that Su Wu spent double-digit survival points to build is not enough to supply the needs of 40 million people.

We can only install some related equipment removed from other affiliated shelters first.

Make a substitution.

These ventilation devices were not designed to be used in a super shelter.

You can imagine what the actual effect will be.

More than half of the people in the entire shelter.

As a result, they all feel chest tightness and discomfort to varying degrees.

However, it is difficult to guarantee safety and food and clothing.

This non-fatal problem has not received much attention.

As for Su Wu, who was high up and had been isolated from the lower class for too long.

If it weren’t for Liu Qianqian, who occasionally went out to visit relatives, she would have mentioned it to him casually.

He wouldn't pay attention to that either.

“Poor air quality.”

“It is more likely to breed germs and affect people’s mental state.”

“It’s not conducive to long-term development.”

"Now, it's time to redesign an air circulation system."

"If necessary, you can also invest a certain amount of survival points to make up for its deficiencies."

After being promoted to a super shelter.

Fixed income for every 10 survival points above daily.

This gave Su Wu some confidence and he applied them to these livelihood projects that did not involve combat and security and seemed to have no clear returns.

Except for air.

Water, which has always been inseparable from it, is naturally also included in the scope of improvement.

An extra-large shelter with a diameter of up to 7 kilometers.

About 70,000 tons of basic drinking water alone are consumed every day.

If we take into account daily necessities such as washing, hygiene, etc., the minimum consumption will be more than one million tons.

Even this is the result of strict regulation.

If people were allowed to use it freely like before the end of the world, consumption would increase by at least seven or eight times.

Such a huge demand for water.

The water circulation system in the shelter is always under extreme load.

And water reserves are seriously insufficient.

Many times, the sewage that was just flushed into the sewer the day before has to be turned into domestic water and transported to millions of people the next day.

In this process.

If there is any accident in any link, there will be a slight delay of a few hours.

Will cause extremely bad impact.

“More water storage needs to be added.”

“We can’t rely solely on purification devices.”

The current farmyard shelter.

The method is to build a reservoir with a storage capacity of 300,000 tons in a super warehouse on the 7th underground floor.

The first 6 floors are built in the model of a 100,000-ton water purification plant on each floor.

Provide water to 40 million residents throughout the shelter.

According to Su Wu's thinking.

Next, we will look at the residential areas on each floor.

A water tower will also be built for every 50,000 people living in a residential area.

Nearly a thousand water towers with a storage capacity of about 1,000 tons were added.

Then, on the 8th underground level which is being expanded, an additional super-large reservoir with a capacity of 8 million tons will be added.

To reduce the speed of water circulation in each link.

Avoid surprises.

But, in this way.

We have to find another way to go out and look for water.

Relying solely on groundwater cannot fill the newly added water towers and reservoirs.

“Water sources are easy to find.”

"The snow on the ground and the completely frozen river water in the nearby tributary of Kuanjiang River can all be used."

"However, according to the test."

"Most of them are mildly radioactive and toxic."

"It needs deep purification."

This is a huge project.

Purifying radiation is not as easy as simply filtering it.

But at present, apart from obtaining water from this source, transporting water from other places is not a good option.

Not only Su Wu's valuable transportation capacity is also needed to transport people and materials.

On the other hand, there may not be enough clean outdoor water sources in other places.

Based on Su Wu's test results in those affiliated shelters outside Jianghe City.

Currently, more than half of the shelters are in the surrounding groundwater.

There is also more or less pollution.

Not much cleaner than the snow on the ground.

"The resources left for human survival are becoming increasingly scarce."

Su Wu couldn't help but sigh.

Think about it for a moment.

He finally decided to collect ice and snow on the spot as a source of water.

As for the preliminary purification device.

He planned to find a place to place it above the shelter, that is, on the surface.

"Speaking of the surface."

"Wait until someone is available."

"We can officially consider building a ground-level building on top of the shelter."

Above the current shelter.

There is only a lifting platform for the super-large electromagnetic railgun located in the core area, and some temporary factory buildings built sporadically.

The utilization rate of land is not high.

Considering Su Wu's current and future needs, there is a large need to manufacture large-scale machinery.

He simply planned to build a shelter building directly on the ground.

The shelter was expanded to a structure with 7 underground floors and 1 above-ground floor.

“Also, it’s relatively easy to build on the ground.”

“There’s no need to save space either.”

“The ground floor can be stretched directly to a height of 50 meters.”

This is a rather exaggerated design.

50 meters high.

One level of space.

It is more than half the size of the current farmyard shelter.

The interior is even large enough to accommodate a nearly 20-story residential building before the end of the world.

I really want Su Wu to build this floor.

It is estimated that there will be excess space inside his shelter in a short period of time.

"Although, the buildings built above the surface."

“There will be more dangers.”

"But with the strength of quick cement."

"Enough to make it tougher than the mountains."

“The actual level of safety is actually a little bit stronger than those shelters built in the mountains.”

“Also, the first floor of the building can serve as a buffer layer.”

"To protect against unpredictable dangers such as meteorite impacts."

"Ensure the absolute safety of the most core underground floor."

"Also, there will be even larger Sky Punishment-class land cruisers, base vehicles, and even aerospace carriers in the future."

“It also requires a spacious enough place to manufacture it smoothly.”

Thinking about this.

Because there are so many benefits.

Su Wu no longer had any reason not to build it.

So I no longer hesitated,

An above ground level shelter will be constructed.

It is listed as one of the most important projects to come.

February 17th.

Steel City.

A pitch-black fighter plane slowly took off from a lift platform above a large shelter in the city.

After reaching a certain height.

The engine starts instantly.

In just a few seconds, it rushed into the higher clouds at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

Only within the visible field of view on the ground.

Leaving behind circles of white smoke like donuts.

This is the Kongming-class 6th-generation fighter that Su Wu had just developed and has not yet been fully mass-produced.

The whole machine is 23 meters long and 7.3 meters high.

The fuselage width is 5.3 meters and the wingspan is 24.8 meters.

The length is comparable to two buses connected end to end, and the width is close to two lanes.

It is almost as big as half of an Ice-class land frigate.

It is a veritable giant in the sky.

And its load.

Excluding the fuel that must be carried, it is still as high as 15 tons.

Not much worse than the 20-ton standard for a biplane helicopter.

In addition, considering its relatively low construction cost, its speed is much higher than the latter, reaching up to 4 times the speed of sound.

From the moment it was born.

It has actually replaced the biplane helicopter.

It became the most important air transport force in Su Wu's hands.

It is also the cornerstone he relies on to build a truly continental air transportation network throughout Dongzhou.

Through the clouds.

This experimental Kongming-class 6th-generation fighter took off from Steel City.

Start cruising at 3 times the speed of sound.

Flying towards the farmyard.

The distance between the two places is 400 kilometers.

At such a high cruising speed, it is almost instantaneous.

As it approached the farmyard, it began to gradually slow down and lower its altitude.

One place viewed from the air.

The buildings, which still seemed extremely huge, began to appear in the field of vision of the Kongming-class 6th generation fighter.

That was the first floor of the completed farmhouse.
