Chapter 288: Air Transport Spreading to Dongzhou

February 22nd.

The blizzard once again covered the surface of Jianghe City.

The water vapor in the air condenses into ice crystals, turning into lingering white mist.

Together with the freely flying snowflakes, the whole world becomes dark and hazy.

Being in this world.

Whether it is human vision or the lens of a camera, it is difficult to see clearly what is more than 10 meters away.

Except for the whistling wind.

Deep in the fog and snowstorm.

There are also more than a dozen huge pipes with a diameter of more than ten meters, cast from fast cement.

It extends all the way from the edge of the farmyard shelter to an artificial mountain 2 kilometers away.

Inside the pipe.

A huge rotating motor and a conveyor belt with slots.

At a constant speed.

The rubble excavated from the ground is continuously transported to the other side of the mountain.

Let it grow little by little as time accumulates.

The basement level of the farmhouse.

Control center.

"It's time to adjust the position of the pipeline outlet again."

Su Wu reached out and fiddled with the transmission pipeline for transporting waste rock on the holographic projection.

From different angles.

Observing these dozen or so buildings that can definitely be called giant buildings.

The engineering team currently excavating the 8th underground level of the shelter produces tens of millions of cubic meters of rubble and waste every day.

Almost all of it is transported out through these pipelines.

As long as they pause for a moment.

The construction progress of the entire shelter will be affected.

And given their importance.

Even Su Wu had to come and inspect in person regularly.

To ensure there are no hidden dangers.

Well done on observation.

Another convoy carrying spider robots and construction materials was dispatched to the artificial mountain to carry out the task of fine-tuning the pipeline.

Su Wu withdrew his gaze.

He then began to look at the map of the entire Dongzhou.

The current Dongzhou.

The dividing line is Chongzhou City, a super city about 300 kilometers west of Jianghe City.

Continue westward, approaching the area of the Western Wilderness Plateau.

It is an area directly controlled by the Dongzhou government.

And to the east of Chongzhou.

Basically, they are like Su Wu's Jianghe City, which has been completely separated from the influence of Dongzhou's capital.

A local independent force that is in a state of de facto autonomy.

But, even though it is autonomous.

But in these autonomous regions.

The official shelters in various places still have close ties with federal officials.

Normally they may not interfere with each other.

But if you encounter serious problems, such as what Su Wu once did.

Large-scale plundering of resources from official shelters.

This may lead to federal intervention.

Just look at these.

Because we cannot target the official shelters that have the most resources.

The ceiling of Su Wu's future development seems to have been locked.

But in reality, the opposite is true.

The territory of Dongzhou is really too large.

Only those small number of people in civilian shelters who were labeled as anti-human camps were eaten.

It is enough to support the current rapid development of Su Wu.

And in the vast wild areas outside the official refuge.

Limited to the harsh surface environment.

For the vast majority of local official shelters.

There are no mines that have the capacity to be developed.

For Su Wu, these were all readily available resource collection points.

and.

Led by the Ice-class land frigate, the caravan is capable of reaching any remote area in Dongzhou.

Just normal trade with shelters in various places.

The resources are exchanged for small industrial products that have become rampant in farmyard shelters and are almost as expensive as the raw materials.

It will not be inferior to mining income.

These are three ways to obtain resources.

It is enough to allow the scale of Su Wu's shelter to expand several times, or even dozens of times.

Once it develops to that point.

It is the world's first super shelter that can accommodate more than one billion people with a diameter of only seven kilometers, comparable to the population size of an entire continent.

Even the federal central capital.

Nothing can compare to it.

And that's besides the point.

It's not true that the official shelters cannot be moved at all.

For example, the steel city that Su Wu had previously occupied.

That super city still has a population of 23 million.

But not all of them are controlled by local families and gangs.

There are also forces that have inherited the name of Steel City's official shelter.

But that's the result.

Su Wu merely demonstrated his military power to the capital of Dongzhou.

Took ownership of it.

From this we can infer.

There is actually quite a lot of flexibility here.

As long as Su Wu didn't go too far, he would occasionally take over a few official shelters within the autonomous region.

It shouldn't lead to too serious consequences.

"As the apocalypse continues."

"The control of the East Continent capital and the Federation over the local areas is declining at a speed visible to the naked eye."

"Wait until the future and eat up all other edible resources."

"At that time, we can also consider forcing a war of unification."

"The entire autonomous region will be completely dyed the color of Jianghe City."

I have a vague understanding of the future development path.

All the confusion in Su Wu's heart was swept away.

Next.

He turned his attention to the Kuanjiang River Basin on the map.

It was the first place managed by Su Wu.

There is nothing there except the official shelter.

Most of the civilian shelters had been completely cleared out by Su Wu.

All the people inside were moved to the farmyard.

However, there are a large number of mature mines in that area that are producing resources continuously.

At this time, there were still nearly 30 caravans.

Traveling in that area for a long time.

Responsible for the finished resources produced by the mine and refined, as well as the gains from trading with the local official shelter.

Bring them all back to the farmyard.

These caravans can complete a round trip every 4 days on average.

In total, it can bring nearly 300,000 tons of supplies.

The scarce resources will be used to build land warships and sixth-generation fighter jets.

Most of the ordinary supplies are used to expand the underground shelter in the farmyard.

The remaining small portion is invested in the manufacture of snow transport vehicles and other conventional mechanical equipment including robots.

"Output from the mines in the Kuanjiang River Basin."

"It belongs to the basic source of income from the outside world."

"Plus, due to the large-scale migration over the past month, the roads in that area are better maintained."

"Transportation costs are much lower than in other places."

"It can be regarded as the back garden of Jianghe City."

And out of the emphasis on the back garden.

Even though there are almost no robbers there.

Su Wu was not at all negligent in protecting the place.

Not to mention the caravan itself, the 1,500-ton carrying capacity of the Iceborne-class land frigate is almost entirely used to carry combat drone clusters, spider robot formations, and weapons and ammunition.

The firepower that can be unleashed is strong enough to tear apart a division-level regular army without long-range heavy weapons.

Each of the affiliated shelters and communication signal tower fortresses along the way serves as a backup supply point.

A certain scale of armed forces are also stationed there, ready to provide support at any time.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Even, in the hangar on the ground floor of a farmyard.

There are also more than 10 sixth-generation fighter jets available 24 hours a day, fully loaded with ground-to-ground missiles for combat, ready to take off at any time.

We guarantee that we can arrive at the scene to provide support within 40 minutes at the latest.

"Then over in the northern steel city."

"There are also 30 caravans stationed there to transport supplies and people."

Different from the Kuanjiang River area.

On the 400-kilometer journey between Jianghe City and Gangcheng.

There are more than just steep mountains blocking the way.

Making it almost impossible for regular vehicles to pass through.

The complex forces of various shelters along the way and the robbers they bred also added a lot of risks to the journey.

Although it will not affect the transportation safety of the caravan.

But every once in a while, the caravan would indeed encounter some small-scale battles.

The strategy adopted by Su Wu in this regard.

It is to let multiple caravans act in unison.

Improve fault tolerance with a larger scale.

"The rare resources stored in Steel City have already been transported to the farmyard in advance."

"Nowadays, it mainly consists of ordinary supplies."

"However, Steel City is the only super city we control besides Jianghe City."

"It also undertakes the task of serving as a sub-base, gathering the output of several large and medium-sized mines in the surrounding area, and conducting primary refining and processing."

"As a result, some new rare resources will continue to be produced."

"The caravan there."

"It's mainly used to transfer people, and occasionally transport some common metal materials back."

"They are also the main providers of the nearly 200,000 new people that the farmyard shelters still receive every day."

At the beginning of design.

A caravan can normally carry 8,000 people.

But now the surface environment has become extremely harsh.

Apart from special means of transportation such as land warships and snow transport vehicles, there are basically not many vehicles that can safely travel long distances.

The original seats were removed and passengers were forced to stand and squeeze inside the snow transporter.

It is not impossible to accommodate 1.5 to 2 times the number of people.

At most, it will be a little more difficult during the ride.

Of course, you can also make temporary stops and repairs in some affiliated shelters along the way.

In fact, it won't really cause too much suffering to the passengers.

"Finally, in addition to these 60 caravans that travel back and forth regularly."

"The remaining 100-odd caravans will disperse to other areas of Dongzhou that have not been visited before."

The missions these caravans undertake are somewhat complicated.

Some were responsible for capturing civilian shelters that were marked as anti-human camps and turning them into supply bases for Su Wu.

And based on it, the surrounding minerals are mined and smelted.

Some are responsible for trading with local shelters, exchanging supplies and technical services for the other party's excess resources, including population.

Others are responsible for traveling to more distant places.

A vertical take-off and landing airport for sixth-generation fighter jets will be built in a selected large mine or a small or medium-sized civilian shelter.

It is responsible for refueling the sixth-generation fighter jets and increasing their operating radius.

Because vertical take-off and landing airports are not cheap.

Su Wu only planned to build six fixed vertical take-off and landing airports outside.

Three of them are located 1,500 to 2,000 kilometers away in the south, north, and east respectively.

It is mainly used to expand the flight range of the sixth-generation fighter jets.

It allows it to truly reach the entire Dongzhou, and even every corner around Dongzhou, in the air.

The remaining three.

Among them, one is located in Steel City, and two are located near two super cities in the economically prosperous southern area.

These three airports are built purely for economic reasons.

Mainly used to transport supplies from the air.

As Su Wu's 320 sixth-generation fighter jets gradually rolled off the production line.

Su Wu's air transport capabilities.

It has completely grown to a level that cannot be ignored.

A sixth-generation fighter can transport 15 tons of supplies at a time, with a maximum flight speed of 4 times the speed of sound.

This means that in just one hour.

Su Wu can be within a radius of five to six hundred kilometers around Jianghe City.

This range includes Gangcheng, Kuanjiang River Basin and most of the surrounding areas of Yu'an City.

Any place where a vertical take-off and landing airport is built.

Transport 4,800 tons of supplies back to the farmyard.

These supplies alone are almost equivalent to the transport volume of half a caravan of carriages.

In addition, a caravan of vehicles wanted to transfer supplies to Jianghe City from a place five or six hundred kilometers away.

The round trip takes at least four or five days.

There are these times.

It is enough for the sixth-generation fighter jets to fly back and forth 90 times.

Convert it.

That is the transport capacity of 320 sixth-generation fighter jets.

It is roughly equivalent to about 40 caravans.

It has accounted for one-quarter to one-fifth of Su Wu's land transportation force.

"And, relative to the complexities on land."

"Air transportation is safer and more efficient."

"The longer the distance, the more cost-effective air transport is."

Because we fully understand the advantages of air transport.

Su Wu naturally tried his best to use them to make the most of this advantage.

Therefore, in addition to the 6 fixed vertical take-off and landing airports.

Su Wu also built a movable vertical take-off and landing airport twice as large.

Every mobile vertical take-off and landing airport.

They are converted from a total of 6 snow transport vehicles with a total mass of 600 tons.

They are additionally attached to the caravan carriages.

Can move with the caravan.

Arrive at a designated location.

For example, mines, shelters, and other places that require transportation.

It can be assembled on site into a temporary airport for a sixth-generation fighter jet to take off and land.

It was not until the sixth-generation fighter jets transported all the supplies from that place back to the farmyard by air.

Only then will they continue to follow the next caravan and head to the next destination.

If nothing unexpected happens.

This air transport network composed of sixth-generation fighter jets is capable of covering the entire East Continent.

For quite some time to come.

It will be responsible for the surplus rare resources that can be used for trading in the entire Dongzhou civilian shelter.

All were quickly transported back to the farmyard.

It became the main way for Su Wu to obtain high-end resources in the future.

And the entire air traffic network, except for the sixth-generation fighter jets.

There are also 55 biplane helicopters and tens of thousands of Qingkong-class transport drones.

This is also a transportation force that cannot be underestimated.

Together, they are equivalent to more than a hundred sixth-generation fighter jets.

Chapter 289 Amusement Park

And, unlike the latter, it requires a special vertical take-off and landing airport.

The biplane helicopter can take off and land at will in any terrain.

Although the Qingkong-class transport drone requires a runway.

But the runway is only 50 meters long, and can be built with soil or even ice.

In fact, it is almost equal to nothing.

These aircraft can assist the sixth-generation fighter jets in transporting supplies from places they cannot reach to their temporary airports.

"That's how it works."

"After the surface temperature reached minus 70 degrees Celsius, it got even worse."

"The overall transportation capacity has not actually been reduced much."

"As a future development route, we can try to develop more low-cost air transportation tools."

Take your eyes away from the extremely cold and silent surface.

Su Wu turned and looked inside the shelter.

This world accommodates the entire human society.

Just by looking at the simple structural diagram, you can feel the tremendous vitality contained in it.

On the ground floor, there are assembly workshops that operate all night long, as well as water purification reservoirs and ammunition production lines.

The huge and empty interior space of the plantation and ammunition depot is being filled little by little.

On the underground level, there are huge meat farms surrounding the core area.

Millions of pigs, cattle and sheep, and even more broiler chickens and ducks, a variety of fish that live in the ponds, and even some species from the ocean that are raised separately.

They are all under the care of machines and growing rapidly at the most scientific speed.

From underground floors 2 to 7, there are residential areas with a population of more than half a million, sports activity areas, and plantations.

In every accessible corner, one can see traces of human activity.

For the residents who can only stay in the small space inside the shelter.

Even in the form of shelves, plantations of various staple foods and vegetables are densely cultivated.

It is also a rare place where you can get close to the natural atmosphere.

However, this embarrassing situation will soon change.

Along with Chen Yue, he developed three types of plant growth potions.

Rubber tree seedlings were originally planted in residential areas and sports activity areas, on both sides of the street.

Gradually began to flourish.

So that a large number of residents in the shelter can once again see the green and tree-lined scene before the end of the world as long as they walk out the door.

What is even more important is that the first phase of construction is about to be completed, and the amusement park and large park will be open for the first time on a limited basis today.

At a height of 36 meters, there are all the facilities of a standard amusement park before the end of the world, which are restored as much as possible.

There are landscape gardens, palaces and temples, as well as vast lawns and sea of flowers and trees where people can run freely.

If a person walks in without looking at the signs, he or she might even get lost inside.

"Two hours and 12 minutes until opening."

Su Wu glanced at the time.

Although it's still early.

But many residents in the shelter who had drawn admission tickets couldn't help but leave early.

Some of them took the nearest elevator on foot and went to the 8th underground floor.

Some take the rail train that runs along the dome above the street and goes directly to the entrance of the amusement park on the 8th floor underground.

Among them, one very obvious phenomenon is.

The number of people who choose to walk there far exceeds the number of people who take the convenient rail train.

Because the former is free, the latter requires contribution points or game currency to purchase tickets.

And the tickets are not cheap.

To get a ticket, you need to spend an hour in the game.

"The economy in the shelter is just starting."

"Most people's income basically comes from wages."

"There's not a huge gap between the rich and the poor."

"That's why this phenomenon occurred."

Su Wu's farmyard, except for himself.

There is no concept of power and nobility.

The management of all links directly managed by artificial intelligence also allows resources to be decentralized and allocated.

There is no possibility of loss of control.

These two factors have together resulted in the current situation where there are tens of millions of residents living in small farmyards.

They all have an almost identical initial starting line.

But this situation is destined to exist only temporarily.

With the development of business in the future, there will inevitably be a more obvious gap between the rich and the poor.

And for the rich.

Su Wu naturally felt some disgust.

That came from his experience of being exploited as a low-level worker before he traveled through time.

And I have seen too many cases of rich people being unkind.

"The wealth from the rich needs to be limited."

"You don't have to change too much."

"Collect more personal income tax and inheritance tax."

"Restrict monopolies."

"It is enough to refer to some of the laws before the end of the world."

Su Wu directly set the highest level of personal income tax at 100%.

In addition to collecting inheritance tax at a high rate, the estate also stipulates a maximum inheritance amount.

These two provisions directly limit the upper limit of wealth that the rich can obtain.

Of course, this alone is definitely not enough.

There are so many ways to try to circumvent it.

However, it is different from the official one before the end of the world.

In the farmyard, Su Wu was a dictator with absolute power.

Even if everyone under his rule opposes it.

Nor could it affect his will.

Su Wu could make new laws on the spot and apply them retroactively based on the behavior of those who violated the law.

"The entire human society only needs me."

"No more privileges will be allowed to appear and infringe upon my property."

afternoon.

There are 4 underground floors in the farmyard, in the A13 residential area.

Ding Hui had an internet-connected sports camera hanging on his chest and a mobile phone in his hand.

Along with a few people.

Boarded the rail train from the station.

The sports camera was something he bought before the end of the world, and he kept it as a personal item.

Now it is just right to be used as a filming tool to live broadcast the next itinerary for netizens.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Ding Hui is not only a professional player who is designated by the shelter and must play games for 8 hours a day.

He is also a part-time anchor.

But, in the context of the end of the world.

The so-called anchor can only do it out of interest.

Not to mention the currency before the end of the world, which has turned into waste paper and a bunch of virtual numbers.

It is currently the only gaming currency that can be circulated throughout Dongzhou.

Also because it is related to the exchange of food.

It is considered a life saver by most people.

It is also impossible to reward him easily.

Ding Hui didn't care much about it.

Thanks to his talent, the income he earned in the game was enough for him to live a richer life than most people in his farmyard.

There is no need to pursue another source of income.

He just likes the atmosphere of chatting with netizens.

I found a seat in the carriage and sat down.

Ding Hui glanced at his phone.

He found that many people were curious about the train he was riding, so he cooperated and turned the camera lens around the entire carriage.

"Don't think there's no ticket check."

"In fact, as long as you step into the car, 10 game coins will be automatically deducted from your account. If you don't have enough game coins, some contribution points will be deducted instead."

"This price is not low."

"After all, you can get a standard food set for 80 game coins."

"It includes three meals a day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, which include potatoes, carrots, purple cabbage, cabbage, rice, etc., as well as a small piece of chicken and a small portion of random seaweed egg soup."

"As for the taste, it's just so-so, not that great."

"But the portion is enough to meet a normal day's needs."

As Ding Hui spoke, he pulled out a photo of a standard meal that he had taken from his cell phone album.

That set meal accompanied him through many days and nights.

Until recently.

Along with the upgrade of the plantation in the shelter, a meat farm was also established.

Then she gradually withdrew from his life.

And after posing the photos.

Naturally, he also successfully gained a lot of envy.

After all, there are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, and this is the most authentic purchasing power of game currency.

Outside Jianghe City.

Because Jianghe City's caravans rarely go to other shelters in person.

Ordinary people cannot trade with them directly.

It can only be sold to local merchants and shelter high-level officials.

It would be good if we could realize half of its value.

At worst, one could only get a small portion of inferior food made from algae, earthworms, and other unknown substances that even children could not eat enough.

The treatment is basically the same as that of slaves.

Want to survive.

Except for sleeping, all the time is spent in games.

I noticed that the account that sent the message went offline soon after.

Ding Hui had a vague feeling that what he said was most likely true.

A few seconds of silence were observed for each other.

Ding Hui stopped discussing this issue and started talking about the configuration of the rail train he was riding.

This rail train has only one carriage, which is smaller than a subway car.

There are only 30 seats, but it can carry 60 to 90 people when over capacity.

The maximum driving speed is around 50 kilometers per hour.

Although the data is a bit disappointing.

But this is the inside of a crowded shelter after all.

Compared to the only remaining means of transportation, walking, it is already very fast.

This introduction.

It didn't cause much response.

There are just a few residents from other super cities.

Using language full of superiority, he commented that the rail trains were too small and not grand enough.

Ding Hui just smiled and didn't expose them.

He actually has a friend who lives in the super city of Yu'an.

I have some understanding of the inside story of those super cities.

The shelter they have there still retains some subways from before the apocalypse.

But that is basically exclusive to the powerful and wealthy.

Ordinary people in the shelter are not qualified to go up there.

In this case, it is meaningless to discuss luxury and grandeur.

After all, they are too far away from ordinary people.

Whether there is one or not does not affect ordinary people's ability to travel on foot.

The train traveled for about two minutes with a slight shake, then passed through the dedicated elevator for the train and entered the eighth underground floor.

Then quickly.

Through the window of the rail train, you can see a large area of brightly lit buildings, shining brightly under the dark dome with the vast starry sky flowing through it.

That was at the amusement park which just opened for the first time today.

Ding Hui stood there in a daze for a moment, a hint of shock in his eyes.

For a long time, I stayed on the 4th floor underground of a shelter with a height of no more than 12 meters and a gray cement ceiling above my head.

He had become accustomed to the narrow and crowded space and had almost forgotten what the sky looked like.

But I didn't expect it.

Here you can relive the boundless world of the earth's surface.

It took a long time.

Ding Hui finally came to his senses and remembered to raise the lens of the sports camera and point it out the window.

The audience in his live broadcast room.

At this time, everyone fell silent.

If it's food and rail trains, it's understandable.

The complex before us was a waste of precious underground shelter space, almost completely replicating the facilities of surface amusement parks.

It was beyond their imagination.

For the first time, they realized that the difference between shelters could be as far as that between heaven and earth.

"Well, let me introduce you."

"I just received a travel brochure on my phone."

"It's mentioned above."

"The amusement park in front of us occupies about 40 million cubic meters of space."

"The top uses holographic projection technology to simulate the scene of the starry sky on a summer night."

The audience was seen in silence.

Ding Hui began to try to remedy the situation.

The specifications of the shelter and some equipment introduction were thrown out.

Holographic projection was a cutting-edge technology before the end of the world.

It has only been demonstrated experimentally in a few high-end venues.

It is now used on a large scale over amusement parks.

It is only natural that it would bring such an impact that is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

And in the midst of Ding Hui's chattering.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room finally began to warm up again.

A few minutes later.

The rail train bypasses the area where the amusement park is located.

The light outside the window suddenly became brighter.

The blue sky and leisurely white clouds replaced the vast Milky Way.

And below them.

It is a sea of flowers covered with white tassels and purple wisteria flowers.

"this--"

Ding Hui stopped explaining unconsciously.

After the rail train stops and lands on the ground.

Some couldn't wait to go out.

outside world.

The slightly cool breeze brought the faint fragrance of unknown flowers to the front.

Ding Hui's spirit seemed to be infected at this moment. His mood became brighter than ever before.

He took a deep breath.

He raised the camera hanging around his neck and captured the entire sea of flowers in front of him.

"I was regretful that I only managed to get tickets to the park today, but not to the amusement park."

"It seems so now."

"Actually, I should say that."

"We are so lucky."

Video footage of Ding Hui's live broadcast.

In the end, it caused a huge sensation on the entire Dongzhou network.

Many people were surprised to find that while they were still struggling to survive in the extremely cold permafrost.

Some places, however, have gradually gotten rid of the influence of the end of the world.

The entire society began to systematically try to rebuild the pre-apocalyptic civilization.

Compared with them, they seem to belong to the small group of primitive people who have been abandoned by human civilization.

And as this influence continues.

Su Wu soon gained the most direct benefits.

The caravans he sent out often just passed through a certain place.

Some local shelters will actively seek refuge with them.

This even includes some official shelters.
