Chapter 270 Ball Lightning Control Chamber

The high-frequency oscillator is a magical artifact for construction and collection.

It is of great significance to Su Wu and the entire farmyard.

The next few days.

Su Wu gradually popularized it to all areas of Jianghe City.

On the 6th floor underground of the farmyard, the engineering team's excavation speed was increased to 2.2 times the original speed.

The six underground floors can be expanded by 2.2 million square meters every day.

This number is equivalent to the total volume of 36 aircraft carriers.

Even according to Su Wu's current planning and design.

To build a residential area consisting of standard dormitories and activity venues, four plantations must be built to ensure that the new residential area has sufficient food supply.

The combined space of the 36 aircraft carriers is enough to accommodate 300,000 people for long-term residence.

Almost equivalent to building a small city in a day.

The shield machine was no longer of much use.

After installing a special high-frequency oscillator, the overall excavation speed increased to more than 10 times the original speed.

If construction is carried out simultaneously from both ends, a 10-kilometer passenger passage or a 30-kilometer material transportation passage can be dug in one day.

Also, more efficient mining vehicles and rubble recovery vehicles.

It was also redesigned and produced

in the mine.

With the emergence of new mining vehicles.

The mining efficiency of the mines occupied by Su Wu increased by more than 7 times.

And under the construction of the shield machine that was urgently airlifted in.

An underground material transportation channel was quickly established from the mine to a nearby affiliated shelter.

It completely solved the problem of having to dig out ores but not having enough transportation capacity to transport them to external subsidiary shelters to smelt them into finished materials.

And this also led to.

In just a few days, Su Wu increased the mine's output of finished products from 13,000 tons per day to a full 245,000 tons.

It truly became a stable income that could not be ignored in his hands.

In the ruins of towns around Jianghe City.

Su Wu also deployed more than a dozen rubble recovery vehicles and nearly a hundred ordinary trucks for auxiliary transportation.

For demolishing the building and recycling all resources including concrete.

Each rubble recycling truck is capable of recycling nearly 3,000 tons of construction waste in a day.

It can also separate the valuable metals and process the rest into concrete powder.

However, the current transportation capacity is limited.

These are recycled construction waste.

It can only be stored on-site in nearby vacant shelters at an average rate of more than 30,000 tons per day.

Then wait until the transport vehicles are free in the future, and then slowly transfer them to the farmyard.

At the same time, in addition to applications in these conventional production areas.

Su Wu also designed and produced a road roller suitable for road maintenance.

It can use the high-frequency oscillator's high-efficiency crushing ability to quickly flatten and compact roads that have been twisted and raised due to earthquakes or other accidents.

Then use quick cement to complete the final leveling repair.

We encountered ice and snow covering the road, which was almost as hard as stone.

It can also be easily crushed and thrown far into the depths on both sides of the road.

With the help of this professional machine for repairing roads.

It only took Su Wu two or three days.

The restoration work of the main road from the outskirts of Yu'an City to Jianghe City has been completed.

Let the convoy that is making a massive transfer on this road.

The overall speed increased from more than ten kilometers per hour to nearly thirty kilometers per hour.

"Although there are frequent earthquakes and blizzards."

"It needs to be kept in a high-intensity maintenance state all the time."

"But at least most of the time, it can be considered a qualified transportation channel."

This powerful and fast repair capability.

Even before the end of the world.

It is also breathtaking enough.

If the surface temperature could be maintained at minus 50 or 60 degrees Celsius and no longer continue to slide downward endlessly.

Just relying on this ability.

Su Wu had the confidence to quickly rebuild the city on the surface and restore the prosperity that once existed among mankind.

only.

Looking around, because of the various tools modified by the high-frequency oscillator

While exploding with incredible growth rate.

In Su Wu's heart.

Yet there is a lingering worry.

The source of his uneasiness was the flower of the underworld that was being studied by Chen Yue in the biological laboratory on the 5th floor underground of the farmhouse.

Based on Chen Yue's preliminary research results.

The flowers of the underworld can quickly absorb nutrients from the surrounding land and draw water from snow and even ice.

Then use all forms of light and heat in the environment.

To grow rapidly.

And if it were just that, that would be fine.

However, Chen Yue also discovered that there were obvious signs of human modification in the genes of this underworld flower.

It grows to a certain extent.

It will condense into fruits that are of no benefit to itself and are filled with sticky liquid.

That kind of fruit.

Full of nutrients.

But humans, or any other mammal, cannot eat or digest it.

Even making it into fertilizer is not possible.

Some kind of difficult-to-separate toxin inside will make all plants, including the flower of the underworld itself, unable to absorb the nutrients inside.

It looks like.

It's like customized food provided specifically for a certain race.

"Underground, magma, seeds of the flower of the underworld."

Su Wu put these clues together and frowned.

Inadvertently.

It reminds me of the amethyst that was once discovered not far from Chongzhou City.

That was when I first encountered amethyst.

It destroyed a private shelter built by a family by devouring all kinds of organic matter.

From a lifeless crystal nucleus, it gradually evolved into an embryo with obvious animal characteristics.

If it could devour the fruit of the flower of the underworld—

Think of this.

For a moment, Su Wu truly felt a chill that penetrated his bones.

"The surface of the earth has become like this now."

"There are other intelligent races emerging to compete with humans for living space."

Su Wu sighed.

Then, his eyes fixed.

A decision emerged in my mind.

"This kind of thing cannot be kept."

He reached out and operated the console for a while.

Su Wu unlocked the military command interface of the farmyard.

Dozens of biplane drones and courier-level drone combat clusters were assembled and boarded on dozens of snow transport vehicles.

Head to the Qinling Mountains area.

At the same time, a group of heavy artillery was stationed in a farmyard.

They also began to replenish ammunition and carry out maintenance.

Since the flowers of the underworld are harmful to humans, they are most likely the granary of a race that treats humans as food.

Then just wipe them all out from this world.

Don't give them a chance to grow.

And just as Su Wu was mobilizing his troops.

The artificial intelligence was carrying out the task assigned by Su Wu to calculate all the areas where the flowers of the underworld might exist.

From the Internet, which now has nearly 1 billion active users, news has been discovered that suspected flowers of the underworld have appeared in other places in Dongzhou.

He immediately sent it to Su Wu as a reference.

These messages.

Su Wu's newly formed determination was shattered on the spot.

Since there are also some in other places in Dongzhou.

There is a high probability that the flowers of the underworld also exist outside Dongzhou, in places where the Internet is not covered.

He wanted to completely eradicate the flower of the underworld by cleansing the Qinling Mountains area.

It's basically become a delusion.

"Let's continue the action."

"Clean up as many places as possible."

Su Wu, who was somewhat bored, did not interrupt the order he had given before.

But his eyes no longer had the focus that he had before, as if he was about to deal with an important matter.

In the Qinling Mountains, no matter what the outcome is, it obviously no longer matters.

No matter how well we do, it is difficult to prevent things from developing into the worst possible situation.

"If nothing unexpected happens."

"Maybe it's purple crystal, or maybe it's some other unknown race."

"Anyway."

"In the near future."

"The war between them and humans is probably inevitable—"

The surface of the farmyard.

The sky became even darker.

More and more snowflakes are falling, riding on the biting cold wind.

Falling from the clouds to the ground.

All the warehouse buildings were buried in a vast expanse of white snow.

Except Su Wu.

No one knows for now.

There are already signs of an even more deadly danger emerging.

The next few days.

The farmyard and the surface of the land are still operating normally at the same pace as before.

An underground shelter in a farmyard.

It is expanding rapidly at a rate of 2.2 million square meters per day.

The second major transfer, which started from the vicinity of Yu'an City, successfully brought more than 5 million tons of supplies and nearly 300,000 people to the farmyards.

These populations.

They are all in the Kuanjiang River Basin and the surrounding areas of Yu'an City.

A group of elites with the highest comprehensive qualities.

Their arrival has greatly improved the operating efficiency and quality of Jianghe City's hospitals, schools, and affiliated research institutes.

And in secret.

Su Wu quietly increased the quota for the production of military equipment.

The super factory on the 7th underground floor of the farmyard.

Start running day and night.

While meeting conventional manufacturing needs, all remaining productivity began to be used to produce weapons and ammunition in large quantities, as well as more heavily-armored main battle spider robots, combat drones, and so on.

The surface of the farmyard, as well as the urban area of Jianghe City, mountain mines and other important places.

With each passing day, a number of defensive facilities including turrets, rocket silos, machine gun towers, etc. will be added.

All young and middle-aged labor force.

After work, most of the rest time was temporarily cancelled.

Military training lasts up to 4 hours every day.

There is no requirement for them to improve their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

At the very least, you can run faster in an emergency.

January 22nd.

The third major transfer, which lasted five days and was even larger in scale, came to an end.

The farmyard once again added 8 million tons of supplies and 400,000 people.

High-value materials scattered around Yu'an City.

It has basically been looted.

The next fourth transfer operation will officially become mainly focused on transporting population.

At the same time, it was also on this day.

The long-forgotten main quest in Su Wu's Doomsday System.

In a flash of light.

From unfinished to completed state.

[You have completed the main quest and survived for 180 days in the apocalypse. ]

[Mission reward, ball lightning control chamber.]

After Su Wu confirmed receipt.

After a slight vibration lasting 10 seconds.

Below the 7th floor in the core area of the farmyard.

It was originally excavated not long ago and there is no room for any internal planning.

Begin to expand outward quietly.

A standard cylindrical metal body with a diameter of 500 meters and a thickness of 36 meters was forcibly squeezed in.

[Ball lightning control chamber.]

[Total volume: 7,065,000 cubic meters. ]

[Function: Can store 3 Tel units of energy. ]

[Note: This is a miraculous building that can store and stably release energy by creating artificial spherical lightning. For a civilization that has just entered the Star Ocean Era, the total amount of energy it can store is almost infinite.]

"This thing."

A huge man-made structure as a reward for this quest.

For a moment, Su Wu didn't know how to evaluate its value.

He moved his eyes and looked at the shelter's main control interface on the console screen.

At this time, the ball lightning control cabin appeared.

A new operational area was also added on top.

Su Wu can freely store the electricity of the entire shelter in the spherical lightning control cabin.

You can also extract electricity from the ball lightning control chamber at will.

certainly.

Because the ball lightning control cabin had just appeared, Su Wu did not have time to charge it.

The total amount of energy stored inside is currently zero.

For now, it can only be charged and no electricity can be extracted from it.

"One tera unit of energy is equivalent to the total amount of heat emitted by a standard star in a day."

"Three terres of storage in total."

"It's roughly equivalent to the peak period of human civilization before the end of the world."

"One trillion times the amount of electricity generated worldwide in a year."

"It can indeed be considered almost infinite."

"Just, speaking of usefulness."

"It doesn't seem like it will bring much improvement to the current situation."

After all, the ball lightning control chamber is just a large battery.

No matter how exaggerated its reserves are.

It was also impossible to bring any new resources to Su Wu.

But let's talk about the hidden benefits.

Actually, it's not that small.

Don't talk about the illusory future.

Even now, there is a ball lightning control chamber.

It also means the biggest weakness of the current farmyard.

A nuclear power plant that is isolated outside the main body of the farmyard shelter and provides the main electricity for the farmyard.

Status will become less important.

Su Wu could take advantage of the current temporarily safe environment to massively expand the scale of the nuclear power plant.

In the shortest possible time, convert the fuel into electricity and store it in the spherical lightning control chamber.

At the same time, the thermal power generators can also be reactivated.

All the excess coal and fuel oil can be converted into electricity.

Then when you need it in the future, you can take it out.

To some extent.

This can actually be seen as a warehouse that can only be used to store fuel materials and has almost unlimited capacity.
