Chapter 261: Half a Million People

Looking back at Jianghe City.

The seventh underground floor of the farmyard was officially excavated along with the establishment of the super factory.

Today, millions of laborers have begun to invest in the project of digging the sixth underground layer.

"The seventh underground floor accommodates a super factory covering an area of ​​tens of millions of square meters."

"It also accommodates approximately 10 million permanent residents and a super-large warehouse with a capacity of 50 million cubic meters."

"Basically the most important materials and the main population of the entire Jianghe City."

"They're all concentrated in there."

"However, this will only meet the most basic housing and rest needs of 10 million people."

"Standard dormitories with eight people to a room are generally too crowded. Sooner or later, they will have to be converted into single rooms or family suites."

"In addition, the current daily needs of the entire farmhouse shelter are covered."

"Nearly all of it depends on the output of the affiliated shelters."

"The structure is very dangerous."

"Changes also need to be made sooner rather than later."

As for how to change.

It's also very simple.

It starts from the 6th underground floor.

In the newly excavated space every day, a standard dormitory living area and two plantations will be built in a ratio of 1:2.

Gradually move the main grain production areas to farmyards.

And then, nothing else.

A small separate area was then divided to create single dormitories and junior suites for family living.

It is used by outstanding talents or ordinary people who have made outstanding contributions.

“Considering that we will receive tens of millions more stays in the future.”

“With the latest planning model.”

"From about six floors underground to two floors underground, they will continue to be used to build living quarters and plantations."

"But the upside is."

"The food output of each layer will be slightly higher than the consumption of the population living on that layer."

"Wait until it reaches the second underground level."

"The excess food production on each floor can also be used to feed the seventh underground floor."

"This ensures that even if half a million people are crammed into small farmhouses, they can still be self-sufficient in food."

"Of course, only staple food and vegetables will be fine in the short term. In the long term, a large amount of meat will still be needed to supplement."

"So, the first underground layer was finally excavated."

"It can't be used for anything else."

"It needs to be used for large-scale breeding of broilers, pigs, cattle, sheep, etc."

Sort it out here.

Su Wu suddenly discovered that the super shelter he originally designed should have various complete functions.

At the end.

It actually looks like a pure large farm.

In addition to living, growing vegetables and breeding, there is only a little industrial productivity brought by the super factory.

"This is the price of greed."

Su Wu couldn't help but shook his head.

Even when he originally designed it, he never thought about it.

More than half a billion people will be crammed into farmyards.

All supporting facilities are only estimated around a population of about 10 million.

It is only natural that this kind of deviation occurs now.

But having more people is ultimately a good thing.

The spiritual value they bring every day far outweighs the hassle of settling them.

Even if there are signs of overstretching due to this, it will cause various temporary inconveniences.

Su Wu was still very happy.

“The shelter space that is designed may not be enough in the future.”

"Then just keep going down, layer by layer."

"And now the urban ruins on the surface have been cleared."

"The 4,000 vacant construction vehicles."

"It's just right enough to be used for digging downwards."

"No interference with the main team above who is digging upwards."

The current shelter designed by Su Wu.

In complete state.

It's like a round pie with a diameter of 7 kilometers and a thickness of less than 100 meters.

embedded in the shallow ground.

Such a neat shape.

The main purpose is to enhance the resistance of the shelter.

Su Wu has never forgotten it.

How terrifying was the super earthquake that reduced Jianghe City to rubble?

If we encounter a similar disaster again.

There is only this centralized shelter form, plus rapid cement as the main structure.

Only then can we have the ability to effectively resist.

"The ultimate ideal state."

"Even if the surrounding area turns into a sea of ​​magma."

"Or the ground is completely torn and shattered."

"When the planet begins to fall apart."

"The shelter will also remain intact."

"This ideal state."

"With the properties of fast cement."

"We just need to continue to thicken the outermost wall of the shelter."

“Then we reserve enough buffer space and try to strengthen the internal main frame.”

"It may not be impossible."

Take back your vision of the future.

The holographic map projection in front of General Su was adjusted to a weather pattern.

A patch of light and shadow ranging from light blue to dark blue suddenly appeared on the entire map.

That represents the temperature of the corresponding location on the current map.

And whether there are extreme severe phenomena such as blizzards, low temperature cold snaps, etc.

"The average temperature is minus 57 degrees, and the minimum temperature is minus 122 degrees."

He glanced briefly.

A total of about one-fifth of the area within the network coverage of communication signal towers is being hit by snowstorms.

There are also three low-temperature cold currents of varying sizes, moving irregularly at speeds ranging from several meters to hundreds of meters per second.

The lowest temperature is minus 122 degrees Celsius.

It comes from the core area of ​​one of the low-temperature cold currents.

"It's just two or three provinces, covering an area of ​​more than 300,000 square kilometers."

"The situation is so bad."

"If all the places in the world were added up——"

After thinking about it for a while, Su Wu felt a little headache.

Previously I had been immersed in development.

In addition, caravans, biplane helicopters, etc. can ignore the low temperature and cold current.

Su Wu subconsciously didn't pay much attention to the changes in the surface environment.

Now the rapid development has come to an end.

After a little leisure time, he immediately realized that while he was developing, the surface environment did not stay where it was.

Still sliding towards the abyss at a slow but firm speed.

Toured the map for a while.

Su Wu noticed that a caravan was about to enter an area where the cold current was raging.

He stretched out his finger and zoomed in on that area.

Immediately, the projection changed to the perspective of the cockpit of the Ice-class land frigate in the caravan.

Through the special glass portholes in the cab.

You can see that under the dark clouds in the distance, it has been shrouded in a white blizzard.

And with the Frozen-class land frigate where the cab is located as the locomotive, a steel train with a length of more than 500 meters was approaching straight towards the blizzard.

"The outside temperature is minus 57 degrees."

"Wind speed level 3."

I glanced at the monitoring data in the cab.

If you just look at this data, you won't realize it at all.

In the surrounding areas, the temperature will drop precipitously to below minus 100 degrees.

This is also one of the most terrifying places for low-temperature cold snaps.

There is no professional detection equipment.

It is difficult to detect the occurrence of low-temperature cold snaps in real time and in advance.

Of course, sometimes the low-temperature cold snaps may come too quickly, and even if they are discovered, they cannot be outrun.

Waited for ten minutes.

The Ice-class land frigate, dragging a long string of snow transporters, silently broke into the blizzard at a constant speed.

And the moment it entered the blizzard.

The monitoring equipment covering its exterior immediately issued a warning.

The screen in the cab showed that the current outside temperature had begun to drop significantly.

Just a few seconds later.

It pointed to the position of minus 117 degrees.

"Energy consumption increased slightly by 3%."

"The temperature inside is seven degrees."

"The engine is running normally."

The extreme low temperature obviously did not affect the interior of the Ice-class land frigate.

Except that it consumes a little more power.

Everything is as usual.

Su Wu looked to the outside world again.

At this time, those densely flying snowflakes blocked all sights that tried to see far away.

Even the road so close to me could no longer be seen clearly.

All early warning and detection can only be left to radar.

"Follow your current route and speed."

"It will take about 7 hours and 40 minutes to pass through the low temperature cold current and blizzard zone."

"It's still a long time."

"However, the overall difficulty of passage should not be too great."

I looked through the navigation data stored in the artificial intelligence database.

Su Wu discovered it later.

Not far from here, there seemed to be a building that had sent out a cry for help more than ten hours ago.

A small shelter marked by artificial intelligence as a dark red extremely critical state.

Follow predetermined rules.

Su Wu is currently paying attention to the caravan closest to it, so he needs to check it nearby.

"Then go and have a look."

Without Su Wu's intervention.

The caravan slightly adjusted its driving angle and arrived at the door of the small shelter about half an hour later.

"No life signal detected."

"Preliminary judgment is that the shelter has been destroyed."

"Start sending robots on exploration missions."

He stayed at the door for half a minute.

The life detector of the Ice-class land frigate fed back a result that no one existed.

This is uncommon, but not rare.

These isolated shelters are sometimes affected by accidental factors such as conflicts and riots, failure of life-support equipment, viruses, etc.

Leading to the destruction of the entire shelter.

Generally, when a caravan encounters this kind of situation, they will try their best to investigate the cause. Make sure that at least it won't be a tragedy caused by a virus.

A spider robot carrying various special equipment.

Exiting the isolation hatch of the Ice-class Land Frigate.

Slowly crawl towards the entrance of the shelter.

And as it gets closer.

Su Wu quickly looked through the camera on the spider robot and saw several bodies lying on the ground, half-buried in the snow, frozen stiff.

The spider robot stopped in front of one of the corpses.

Then the probe was extended and a part of its body tissue was extracted for testing.

A normal signal was quickly given.

"No unknown virus detected."

"The cause of death was determined to be hypothermia and blood loss."

Confirmed that there was no threat.

The spider robot continued to move forward.

After passing the corpse for more than ten meters, it came to the entrance of the shelter.

At this time, the entrance had been blown open.

There were traces of burns everywhere.

"It should be an accidental fire."

"The fire engulfed the entire shelter and detonated fuel and other materials."

"The survivors of the shelter only had time to take some personal belongings and were forced to flee."

With the help of the detection equipment on the spider robot, the artificial intelligence quickly restored the course of events.

This kind of thing is not surprising in some small shelters.

They are very small and basically have no room for error.

Just make a mistake once.

There will be no possibility of recovery.

"Everything valuable has been burned."

"Only some melted and deformed electrical appliances are left."

"Not much recycling value."

"Keep going."

Let the intelligent robot continue to walk around the inside of the shelter.

After confirming that there are really no valuable materials.

Su Wu asked it to return to the caravan.

Continue to drive forward in the wind and snow.

Then, after going forward for a few kilometers.

Su Wu found some frozen and completely breathless bodies along the way.

Those were the survivors who escaped from the shelter just now.

However.

The cruelty of the surface environment obviously exceeded their expectations.

In the absence of transportation.

They didn't go far before they fell one by one under the low temperature cold current.

They couldn't wait for more than ten hours.

Su Wu's caravan passed by.

"More than 200 people."

"What a pity."

Su Wu sighed a little.

This was one of the main reasons why he tried to transport the population back to Jianghe City in the beginning.

The longer they were left outside, the easier it would be to lose.

Any accident could kill a large number of people.

The view was cut out from the Ice-class land frigate at the front of the car.

Su Wu began to use other built-in cameras.

Look at the carriages behind, which were composed of snow transport vehicles.

Compared with the Ice-class land frigate, the structure of the snow transport vehicle is much simpler and the protection is relatively weak.

However, it is still enough to resist the cold current outside.

The supplies stored in the carriage and dozens of human passengers were not affected.

It is not surprising that there are humans in the caravan.

Although it is mainly used to transport supplies at present.

But in actual implementation, it is impossible to fill the entire convoy every time.

Occasionally, there are some vacant spaces left.

They will be used to selectively bring some high-value talents and their families.

Let them become the first pioneers to Jianghe City.

At this time, in a living carriage.

The passengers are playing cards, chess, and chatting in groups of three or two to pass the time.

Occasionally, someone will look out the window.

They will soon look back.

The blizzard outside covered all traces.

No one realized that they had just passed a small destroyed shelter.

He even passed by a group of refugees freezing in the wild, only two or three meters away.
