Chapter 341: The Dinner of the Thugs
In the north,
deep in the desolate ice field,
a brutal dinner was held in a shelter built here.
The thugs drove modified vehicles and were fully armed.
They blasted the walls of the shelter with explosives.
They replicated the process that had been played out countless times elsewhere.
They first launched a major cleansing of the shelter.
They indiscriminately slaughtered all the worthless ordinary residents, leaving only some young men and women with good looks.
Then after the wanton carnival,
a group of young men and women who had been abused were once again roughly cleaned.
The whole person was put on a huge charcoal grill.
In the scorching heat, they let out desperate wails.
And these cries of extreme pain sounded like the most beautiful music to the ears of the thugs.
It brought them the most exciting and hearty enjoyment.
However, today,
the thugs' dinner was destined to be unsuccessful.
At a certain moment,
a dull explosion came from outside the shelter.
That was the sound of the person in charge of guarding the perimeter detonating the grenade on his body before dying.
The thugs at the banquet picked up their weapons alertly.
But before they could put on the exoskeleton armor piled nearby,
groups of fist-sized drones emerged from all corners.
As if they had intelligence, they locked onto their targets the moment they appeared.
They crashed head-on.
Then, there was a violent explosion.
And a group of orange-red flames that enveloped the thugs.
X-3 self-destructing drone.
This third-generation grenade developed by Su Wu can fly automatically and search for enemies.
In this small underground space, it has played an incredibly high efficiency.
A total of more than 40 bandits.
None of them had time to face the invaders.
They were completely wiped out in the explosion of the grenade.
In addition, the aftermath of the explosion did not even destroy the tableware next to the thugs.
"The threat target has been eliminated."
"Release combat mode."
More than a dozen spider robots equipped with various heavy weapons.
Following the grenade, they entered the banquet hall one after another.
They took in the tragic scene in the hall.
Half a second later,
one of the spider robots locked onto the only survivor with a camera flashing a faint red light.
"Brain damage 17%."
"Expected death in 57 seconds."
With the help of the simple detection equipment carried on its body,
the artificial intelligence quickly made a judgment.
A considerable part of the survivor's head had been burned and deteriorated by the high temperature, and there was no need to rescue him.
The worker behind the spider robot was silent for a moment. He
still approached.
He used the mechanical arm to extinguish the flames below and carefully carried the survivor to the ground.
Then he said goodbye to her gently in a voice that only some colleagues in the remote control center could hear.
"Rest in peace."
"There will never be such a tragedy in the future."
Born in a farmyard in Jianghe City.
All along.
The network and game coins built with it, as well as the hundreds of millions of residents absorbed.
Let the post-apocalyptic society be covered with a layer of too beautiful filter in the eyes of most people.
Many people really think that life after the end of the world is just eating worse, living a tight and boring life.
Even in the worst case, as long as you are willing to work,
you can get enough food to survive by working in the game.
But in fact,
this false beauty
is just like the sunshine from the sun.
It is warm, but it can't really shelter you from the wind and rain. It also does not have too strong constraints on order.
Once someone breaks the bottom line and acts recklessly,
it can bring a real purgatory to the surrounding people in an instant.
The only means of resistance for the victims
is to ask for military support from the farmyard through prayers in the game.
But this kind of prayer
requires a huge amount of game coins, and each time it lasts for a very short time.
In the end of the world, each shelter is in a nearly closed environment.
Many times,
when they realize that something is wrong and want to ask for help from outside,
it is often too late.
What awaits them is only the cruelest side of the end of the world with all the covers torn off.
But fortunately,
at least for Dongzhou.
When Su Wu began to sweep across the entire Dongzhou with a swallowing force,
this apocalypse was finally coming to an end.
All humans in Dongzhou would gradually be united in the same shelter.
They would be protected by the most basic order
and have a basic living guarantee.
True peace would soon come from here.
In the southern part of Dongzhou,
in Chuhu Province,
in a large shelter, the
once bustling residential area was shrouded in a strange silence.
Only the occasional footsteps and knocks on the door could be heard in the corridor.
It shows that this is not an abandoned place with no one.
"No. 203, it's your turn to pay the blood tax today."
"According to the regulations, your family of three needs to pay 2.5 liters of blood this time."
Five cultists wearing black robes embroidered with strange patterns and holding guns
stood outside an apartment with indifferent expressions.
They announced the decision of the new ruler of the shelter to the unlucky person who was drawn by the lottery today.
The male owner of the house carefully opened a crack in the door
and peeked out .
The number of 5 people opposite gave him a bad premonition.
Therefore, although he thought that 2.5 liters of blood was a bit too much,
he still didn't dare to argue. He
just bowed his head respectfully.
"Please wait a moment, I'll prepare it now."
But his submissive attitude
did not win the cultists' tolerance.
The leading cultist stretched out his hand and pulled hard.
The door in front of him was half open.
Then he said expressionlessly.
"No need, the bishop has issued an order."
"To prevent cheating, we will draw blood on your behalf in the ratio of 0.9 liters for men and 0.8 liters for women."
This bad news almost made the man's eyes go dark.
He gritted his teeth and trembled as he tried to beg the other party for leniency.
"My lord, our child is only five years old."
"This amount of blood will cost her life."
"Please draw her portion from the two of us adults."
The cultist raised his head slightly.
The madness and indifference in his eyes made the man feel cold in his heart.
Then the next moment.
The words from his mouth completely pushed the man into the abyss of despair.
"Since you will die, take the whole person away."
"It can be used as a living sacrifice."
The man gritted his teeth and recalled what these cultists had done since they appeared.
Realizing that there was no room for negotiation,
he immediately made up his mind to seize the weapons in the hands of the cultists on the opposite side.
This is his only way to survive.
But just after he revealed this idea.
The other cultists who had been paying attention to this place immediately raised their guns and fired without hesitation.
They shot the male owner into a hornet's nest.
Judging from the cultists' skillful and decisive actions,
this time,
they were obviously here to harvest the lives of the male owner's family.
They had no intention of giving them any other choice.
They kicked the lifeless male owner at the door of his house away.
The leading cultist stepped into the room.
In the corner of the room, they found a mother and daughter hugging each other and trembling.
More than an hour later.
On the first floor of the shelter.
In a vast square that was violently opened up by knocking down a large number of surrounding houses and buildings.
Hundreds of cultists, escorting young women and children, stepped into the scope of the square one after another.
In the square.
Three mechanical mills connected to the central blood pool.
Quietly in a triangle, distributed around the square.
Exuding a strong smell of blood.
From the black dirt on the mechanical mills, it can be easily seen that
they are obviously not used for the first time.
In the three days that the cultists occupied this shelter.
Every day.
There will be more than 2,000 people.
They will be thrown into these three machines alive, and then the crushed flesh and blood will pass through the exit pipes and fill the blood pool in the center of the square.
As a sacrifice.
As the mechanical mill began to operate.
Seeing that another bloody sacrifice was about to begin.
Suddenly, a vibration came from the depths of the shelter.
Then with a snap.
All power and lights were cut off.
The whole square fell into darkness.
An armed force from the outside world launched an attack on this unknown large shelter-
Chuhu Province.
Chuhu City.
Hundreds of millions of tons of concrete filled a canyon here.
A huge shelter that merged with the mountains was opened up.
The super city Chuhu City.
With a population of 33 million and
more than 50 million tons of grain stored,
it is the super shelter with the richest grain reserves in the entire Dongzhou, except for the capital of Dongzhou.
However, it is such a shelter that can be called a granary.
The residents inside it
are generally malnourished.
More than half of the population cannot guarantee the most basic food rations.
Vital signs hover between overdrawn and sudden death.
And the background of hunger and poverty naturally brings violence and chaos.
The order at the bottom of Chuhu City
is in a state of possible large-scale collapse at any time.
Chapter 342 One Billion People
Chuhu City Shelter 17th Floor.
Several street lamps that seemed to be somewhat damaged, with their dim light, illuminated the sparse crowd on the road.
Su Wu controlled a humanoid robot through a holographic projection helmet.
Standing in a shadow that was not covered by the light, he looked around curiously.
From this simple environment and the large amount of household garbage piled everywhere.
It can be seen
that this is a typical civilian gathering area.
According to the information in Su Wu's hands.
He is now in the top floor area of Chuhu City Shelter.
It is different from before the end of the world.
Before the end of the world, the higher the floor people lived in, the higher their status and power often represented.
But after the end of the world.
Especially for special shelters like Chuhu City, which are built in the canyon.
The upper floors symbolize danger.
Therefore, the important figures in the shelter, as well as important production and living materials, are naturally placed deep underground.
Secondly, there are industrial production equipment such as factories.
The outermost periphery is the top floor.
It is the place for tens of millions of low-income residents to live.
"The industry is not developed."
"The unemployment rate is very high."
"The cost of living--"
After casually browsing a few sets of data,
Su Wu frowned and gave a very bad evaluation of the environment here.
Let's not talk about industry for now.
Although Chuhu City is a super city,
most of the electricity comes from thermal power generation because it does not have the technology of ordinary nuclear power plants.
Therefore, the scarce electricity can hardly support the normal operation of a large number of factories.
The jobs that can be provided are quite limited.
Excluding these objective reasons,
Chuhu City has not even set up many voluntary posts of the nature of minimum living security.
This is the evil of the managers.
What's more outrageous is that
the entire shelter has at least tens of millions of residents.
They can survive until now in the end of the world.
Most of them rely on the game released by Su Wu before.
Even.
Even this minimum living security obtained from the game, Chuhu City has to collect a heavy tax.
The income that could have enabled the low-income residents of Chuhu City to barely make a living was directly cut in half.
They had to rely on the savings from before the end of the world to share.
As for those who have exhausted their savings,
what awaits them is either joining local gangs and becoming life-threatening thugs, or starving to death.
"Essentially."
"Besides greed."
"The main reason for this situation should be that the top leaders of Chuhu City want to intentionally control the population size of the shelter."
The extremely limited living space after the end of the world.
And it is almost impossible to replenish new basic supplies from the outside world.
It is destined that too many people will only be a burden.
Therefore, it is in the interests of the top leaders of the shelter to consume the surplus population appropriately.
Even if this is extremely cruel for individuals.
"According to the current situation, there is no need to find a spokesperson from the top leaders."
"Then just do it."
Turning to the right, he looked at several gang members in the distance, holding homemade muskets, and breaking into a house.
Then a few dull gunshots rang out.
Su Wu's eyes were calm and almost indifferent.
This kind of scene is played out almost every moment in Chuhu City.
There is nothing surprising.
Similarly, with their cover.
When Su Wu took action.
In the initial stage, it is highly unlikely that the top management of the shelter would pay attention to it.
A few seconds later,
a group of agents wearing exoskeleton armor who had sneaked in in advance began to infiltrate some key departments on the 19th floor, the highest floor of the shelter, step by step,
with the assistance of drones and robot dogs. 10 minutes later, in the large square of the top floor area C-30, a large amount of concrete debris, accompanied by ice spikes and freezing cold air, fell from the ceiling. Then, a steel torrent composed of spider robots and combat drones poured in from there . 17 minutes later, in the Chuhu City Shelter, the top 18th and 19th floors. All key roads were occupied. The mechanical army, which had a forward base, divided into small teams and followed the cableway of the lifting platform to start synchronously invading other floors of the shelter. Thanks to the chaotic order and high network communication control here, the most precious first three minutes after the full invasion began. It did not alert the shelter's top brass. 20th minute. An explosion. Came near the robot controlled by Su Wu. Then came the piercing alarm and dense gunfire. This meant that the main force of Chuhu City stationed on the 17th floor finally realized that something was wrong. They began to engage in a firefight with Su Wu's mechanical army. "It's my turn." Su Wu exited the strategic command mode. The entire shelter map appeared in his field of vision, along with a large amount of troop movement data.
At this moment, everything disappeared.
Only the pure and clean streets were left.
And simple data marked with the number of ammunition carried, the type of weapons, and the status of the machine.
For Su Wu today,
conquering a super city
is actually not a particularly important matter. The reason
why he personally came to command
is not to gain any benefits, but just to experience the fun of fighting.
After all, no matter how good the simulation of the game is,
it is not as immersive as this real battlefield.
"1200 bullets."
"10 third-generation grenades."
"5 two-kilogram rockets."
"It should be enough to play for a long time."
May 20.
The Chuhu City Shelter fell.
More than 97% of the administrative areas of the Chuhu Province fell into Su Wu's control.
At the same time,
Su Wu's pace of conquering other provinces did not stop.
On the map of the central area of Dongzhou with Jianghe City as the center and a radius of 1,000 kilometers,
more and more places
were dyed green belonging to Jianghe City.
In order to cope with the increasing influx of population every day.
On both sides of the 10th floor of the farmyard shelter,
two new air ports have been added.
They are used to accommodate the berthing of Morning Light-class transport ships.
June 5th.
After half a month of rapid expansion and absorption.
The population of the entire farmyard officially reached 1 billion on this day.
[Current main task: Build a super shelter with a population of 1 billion (completed)]
[Task reward: Universe treasure, Bellenville (unawakened)]
[Bellenville: The legendary holy temple and miracle garden, has an incredible effect of uniting people. ]
[The next stage of the main task has been activated. ]
[The end of the planet: Completely experience and witness the disintegration of the mother planet. Mission goal, the main shelter cannot leave the surface of the mother planet before the mother planet is completely disintegrated and destroyed. ]
[Task note: In the endless void, the importance of material surpasses everything. Please seize every opportunity to collect as much supplies as possible. ]
There was no earth-shattering vision.
When the population transported by the Morning Light-class transport ship passed through the shelter airport and stepped into the shelter,
Su Wu's long-dormant main task
quietly changed to a completed state.
He was not in a hurry to check the task rewards.
Instead, Su Wu first set his sights on the next stage of the main task.
Compared with the previous main tasks, the task description this time was unprecedentedly detailed.
There were even additional task notes.
"The next main task involves the disintegration of the planet."
"It seems that I don't have much time left." Su Wu had already prepared
for the disintegration of the earth
through the system's sporadic reminders of daily tasks.
The only thing he didn't expect was that it would come so soon.
However, considering that the specific time was not mentioned in the task,
referring to the previous main task cycle,
if he was lucky,
Su Wu might have more than half a year or even several years to prepare.
It was not unexpected.
"Then."
"The subject of completing the task has changed from the original individual to the main shelter."
"The task notes seem to have nothing to do with the task goal."
Su Wu thought for a while and gradually had some guesses.
Perhaps, the main task goal.
Before the planet is destroyed, you cannot leave the surface of the planet.
This is not a restriction, but just a special reminder.
The purpose is to let him stay on the planet as long as possible.
To collect supplies.
"In the future, I need to pay more attention to collecting supplies." He
quietly changed some of the future development plans in his mind.
Su Wu then turned his eyes and looked at the task reward of 1 billion people.
Cosmic treasures can be understood as a technological wonder that transcends conventional creations.
At present, Su Wu has
only two objects that can be called cosmic treasures.
A golden balance that can convert gold and silver into any other substance in equal proportions.
And a ball lightning control cabin that can store almost unlimited electricity.
Compared with these two treasures that tend to be pragmatic,
the newly acquired treasure Bellenville seems to have a somewhat empty and difficult to guess function.
Gather people's hearts.
What level is considered to be gathering people's hearts?
At the same time, in addition to this,
even if they are both rare treasures, there is obviously a gap in level between them.
Because Su Wu noticed
that when the system mentioned the golden balance and the ball lightning control chamber,
the font used ordinary white.
When it mentioned Belleville, it used purple.
According to the previous system refresh of daily tasks, different levels of tasks will also be marked with different colors to infer.
If the golden balance and the ball lightning control chamber are the most common first-level rare treasures,
then Belleville should be a fourth-level rare treasure.
The actual gap between the two sides may be beyond imagination.
Opening the system temporary storage column where Belleville (unawakened) is placed,
Su Wu tried to extract it.
The whole process was quite smooth.
The real Belleville is just a golden sphere with a diameter of 10 meters.
It does not occupy a large area.
Su Wu can find a place in the core area to place it.
After the placement is successful,
as the artificial intelligence establishes a data exchange channel with it,
a large amount of detailed information
begins to appear in front of Su Wu one after another.
Belleville in the shape of a golden sphere.
It is in the unawakened state.
It has only one function, which is to convert electricity into a light source more suitable for plant growth.
And after a considerable amount of materials are invested in it,
it can be transformed from the unawakened state to the awakened state.
At that time,
the complete Bellenville
will be able to build a temple and garden building.
The size of its area is related to the scale of raw materials invested.
But at the minimum, it will reach 10 square kilometers.
That is about one-fourth of the area of one floor of a farmyard today.
After ordinary people enter the temple,
they can get a chance to baptize their body and mind.
All non-serious diseases will be completely cured, and the upper limit of natural life span will increase to 300 years.
At the same time, negative mental emotions will be purified.
In theory, only one baptism is needed, and ordinary people's spirits will be easily kept in a peaceful and positive state in the next twenty years.
The garden is an ancillary building of the temple.
It can produce various high-quality plants.
It also has a greater probability of randomly generating more productive grain crop seeds.
"From a functional point of view, this should be a farming artifact."
"In addition, a large storage warehouse with restrictions is added."
After studying for a while.
Although it has not yet been figured out where the so-called cohesion of people's hearts is specifically manifested,
Su Wu has already attached enough importance to the value of Bellenville.
The light that promotes plant growth and brings higher yields of food crops
means that in the future, plantations of the same size
will produce more food, and
the pressure of raising the population will be greatly reduced.
Investing in designated materials to awaken and grow Bellenville
is equivalent to a disguised warehouse with a large space.
However, this warehouse can only store a few designated types of raw materials.
And if you want to take them out,
the process will be a little troublesome, and there may even be a lot of loss.
But compared to the extra storage space obtained,
these shortcomings can be ignored.
"Next."
"The focus of the development of the shelter will be on collecting resources and awakening Bellenville."
"The steps of absorbing population can be temporarily slowed down."
The number of 1 billion people
has almost absorbed all the easily absorbed population in the entire East Continent.
It is not impossible to continue to absorb.
It's just that the cost-effectiveness is far less than before.
And the armed forces and other resources required will also increase significantly.
Therefore, slow down the pace.
Shift the focus to the construction inside the shelter, which is more cost-effective.
Make a decision.
Su Wu's eyes continued to fall on the materials needed for Bellenville's awakening.
Pure water, oxygen-rich air, ideal soil, healthy and thriving plants of all kinds, marble, basic titanium alloy-
a long list of materials.
There are at least thousands of different materials.
There are simple materials, such as pure water and oxygen-rich air.
There are also rare materials with higher difficulty. There is
even a brand new material that has never been heard of before.
Basic titanium alloy.
But fortunately,
the list not only gives a name.
The various processes and raw materials required to make basic titanium alloy
are also clearly listed.
Su Wu only needs to make a batch of corresponding equipment step by step
to produce this material that has never appeared before.
Chapter 343 Huge Profits in the Age of Discovery
"The production cost is not too high."
"It is slightly lower than the special military alloy."
"The performance is much higher than the latter."
Su Wu was just casually browsing.
But later, as he saw more data,
his expression could not help but become more and more moved.
For a technological civilization,
a cheap and high-performance new alloy
has a strategic value that is almost no less than a cosmic treasure.
Not to mention anything else,
just for the core equipment such as ship engines with the highest material requirements,
with the addition of basic titanium alloy,
their performance can at least double.
And the manufacturing cost will even become lower.
"This material exists."
"The Dawn-class transport ship should be able to be updated to the second generation soon."
"The number can also be at least 20 more."
Su Wu currently has a total of eight Dawn-class transport ships.
Due to the limited supply of some key materials,
according to the original plan,
two more ships will be manufactured, and after 10 ships are assembled,
production will be suspended.
But now, since there is a basic titanium alloy as a substitute.
Solving the problem of insufficient key materials,
it is natural to continue to expand the scale of production.
However, before re-starting production,
Su Wu still has one thing to do,
which is to redesign the original Morning Light-class transport ship
to ensure that the superior performance brought by the basic titanium alloy can be fully utilized.
June 6th.
Because the main task related to population has been completed.
Su Wu's speed of absorbing population from the outside world has become slower.
The total number of people transferred every day has been reduced to between 8 million and 10 million.
At this scale,
only one Morning Light-class transport ship is needed for full-time transportation to meet the demand.
As for the remaining transport ship capacity,
Su Wu has transferred it to trade with other continents outside Dongzhou.
The Morning Light-class transport ship, which can essentially be called an aerospace mothership,
can basically reach any location in the world within a few hours.
And during the flight, it can almost pass through any extreme environment except the large cyclones in the deep sea.
The safety factor is extremely high.
In addition, their own transportation capacity of up to 30,000 tons.
After being invested in global trade.
Almost immediately, Su Wu's trade income increased by more than 10 times.
And this is just the beginning.
When Su Wu completes the design of the second-generation Morning Light-class transport ship,
the transport capacity will further increase.
The income obtained can still continue to grow exponentially.
"It is different from normal trade."
"In the end times."
"In many places."
"Industrial products can earn profits hundreds or even thousands of times the cost."
"And the farmyards that gather 1 billion people."
"Even if most people have just settled down in the shelter, they have not yet passed the initial adaptation period."
"Some of the overflow labor."
"It is enough to establish a light industrial production park with astonishing output."
"It can provide a large amount of industrial products."
"And all its manufacturing costs are compressed to a level close to the same amount of raw materials."
"This in and out."
"The benefits brought are almost not inferior to direct looting."
"Even because it reduces the inevitable accidental damage during violent looting."
"The overall efficiency is even higher."
Looking at the holographic projection map that has expanded to the whole world,
there are seven Morning Light-class transport ships shuttling across the skies of various continents.
Su Wu is just like watching the Age of Exploration, where ocean-going merchant ships are exchanging cheap goods for shiploads of gold and silver treasures.
They are easily plundering the wealth accumulated by the local indigenous people for generations.
However, it is slightly different from the Age of Exploration.
The scale of Su Wu's trade is far greater than the total of ocean-going merchants in the world at that time.
And the market he faces
is not very broad compared to the huge population of 1 billion in the farmyard itself.
The bonus period is likely to last only one or two months, or even shorter.
"More than a month is enough."
"Basic titanium alloy can replace the role of most rare resources in the past."
"Based on this ratio."
"The trade income during the bonus period should be enough to transform the farmyard."
"Really transform from an ordinary shelter into a solid fortress."
The new main task
still put a lot of pressure on Su Wu.
Facing the disaster of planetary fission, which has never been experienced or observed in human history,
Su Wu has no way of assessing the extent of the pressure he will face at that time.
But even if he makes the lowest guess,
it will certainly not be simpler than a magnitude 10 earthquake or a meteorite impact.
Under this level of disaster,
the outer wall of the shelter, which originally had a defense equivalent to 60 meters thick ordinary concrete,
is no longer so reliable. It
needs further reinforcement.
In the afternoon,
Su Wu received news from Changming City.
Song Hong, the chairman of Changming City, decided to lead the direct line of Changming City to migrate to the Western Wilderness Plateau.
"We found a suitable place on the Western Wilderness Plateau."
"We plan to move there in the next few days."
"The conditions there are not as good as the current Changming City shelter."
"But at least the environment is stable."
"It's also a good destination."
Song Hong and Su Wu's projection strolled in the streets of the shelter in Changming City.
There was some nostalgia and reluctance in his expression
. If nothing unexpected happens,
this will be his last visit to the shelter.
In the future, he may never come back.
"Is it the retreat you mentioned before?"
Su Wu was a little curious.
In the previous alliance meeting,
Song Hong proposed that the entire alliance retreat to the Western Wilderness Plateau and rebuild a new shelter with a scale of 500,000 people.
To avoid the super disaster that may affect the entire East Continent in the next few months.
But in the end, because no one supported it, the plan had to be shelved.
"It's not that piece."
"It's a military fortress transferred by the capital of East Continent."
"It's much smaller, and can only accommodate about 50,000 people."
"It's just right for us."
"If it's bigger, there won't be so many resources to operate it."
Song Hong shook his head, his expression covered with a layer of slight helplessness.
For a super city,
a military fortress that can only accommodate 50,000 people is too small.
Only with the determination of a hero to cut off his arm, and after eliminating most of the population, including some of the original core,
can it be barely moved there.
If you have to describe it, it is actually equivalent to abandoning everything to escape from famine.
"This decision is not easy to make."
Su Wu was a little touched.
For a high-ranking figure like Song Hong, making such a decision is almost like falling from the clouds to the ground.
Putting it into action is not an easy task.
Chapter 344 Leisure Area and Noble Academy
"There is just no other choice."
Song Hong sighed slightly, his expression slightly bitter.
Under the trend of the times.
Even as the leader of a super city, he is just an insignificant dust.
Whether you like it or not, the result will not be different.
During the conversation.
The two stepped into a park surrounded by trees, and the buildings were full of strong artistic atmosphere.
A group of girls wearing summer school uniforms and with quiet temperament appeared at the end of the stone road in the park, talking and laughing.
With a slightly curious look.
Secretly looking at Su Wu and the other person who seemed out of place here.
"Is this Yuying Middle School?"
Su Wu's eyes swept across the surrounding buildings, vaguely connecting it with a famous school in his memory.
It was a very famous aristocratic school in the country before the end of the world.
The teaching level and various educational facilities inside are world-class. Many big figures from Dongzhou have also come out.
It is the dream place of countless students of school age.
It's a pity.
The high tuition fees and the invisible identity threshold.
Most of them could only look away from it.
"That's right."
"One of the symbols of our Changming City."
"However, due to limited space, the entire campus was forced to be reduced to one-third of its original size after moving into the shelter."
"Only about half of the students can continue to study here."
"Are you interested in keeping this school?"
"Its teaching ability is quite excellent, and it is very suitable as a spark of civilization inheritance."
Song Hong introduced casually.
There are limited places to go to the Western Wilderness Plateau.
The space resources there are also very tight.
Even if you are reluctant, it is impossible to continue to bring Yuying Middle School to the Western Wilderness Plateau.
If Su Wu is unwilling to take over, the fate of this century-old school is to be closed.
"Let's talk about it later."
Su Wu did not comment, and his eyes paused slightly on a girl who was surrounded in the distance. The other party
's beautiful face and clean and clear eyes
made him a little surprised.
Perhaps, only such a wealthy place that retains the environment before the end of the world
can give birth to such beautiful things.
He continued to wander around the campus of Yuying Middle School for a while.
The meeting between the two ended here.
As the leader of a billion people,
whether Su Wu was aware of it or not
, in the eyes of any other insider, his daily schedule must be full. It was not easy for him to come
and say goodbye to Song Hong out of old friendship. No one would waste too much of his time without knowing the situation. And for Su Wu, the benefit of this meeting was that he could almost completely accept the population and resources of Changming City. Compared with the population of 30 million in the entire Changming City, the 50,000 people who planned to take refuge in the Western Wilderness Plateau was just a negligible number. Even in the process of Su Wu's attack on other super cities, the number of people who died in the exchange of fire between the two sides was more than that. The only thing Su Wu had to pay was to dispatch a Morning Light-class transport ship. It took one or two hours to transport these 50,000 people and a small part of the supplies to the Western Wilderness Plateau. The rate of return was almost full. Taking off the projection helmet, Su Wu sat in front of the console and opened the information delivered by the Changming City Administration. It listed the household registration, property and public storage materials of all the residents in the Changming City shelter. These did not mean much to Su Wu. Although it was a voluntary handover.
But after the takeover, Changming City will still have to
go through a thorough reshuffle like other captured super cities.
Every resident of the shelter,
whether rich or poor,
can only carry a small amount of personal belongings and go to the farmyard
to get the same initial starting point.
As for the property that cannot be taken away, it will naturally fall into Su Wu's hands for free.
After browsing casually for a while
, Su Wu noticed some special categories in the fixed assets column.
Shuizhuzhuang, Jinghuju, and Yuying Middle School, which he had just visited, etc.
These buildings full of historical atmosphere were
basically moved from the surface city to the shelter.
They have extremely high artistic and ornamental value, but they are useless for basic survival.
In the past,
their fate in Su Wu's hands
would only be discarded, or turned into ordinary construction waste and taken away.
However, now that Su Wu has a huge transportation capacity and no longer needs to race against time to transfer the population,
they have a new destination.
That is to move as a whole to the farmyard and become a new scenic spot.
"We are going to build a large leisure area soon."
"Moving these there can reduce some of the construction costs, so it's not a waste."
Just like the park and amusement park built by Su Wu on the 8th underground floor, and the aquarium built on the 13th underground floor.
As the population absorption rate slows down.
Su Wu also has to start considering building a new large leisure area for the residents of the shelter to rest after work.
These finished scenic spots and historical sites will be transferred intact.
This can greatly reduce the construction cost of the leisure area.
However, considering that the entire floor of the shelter in the farmyard covers an area of nearly 40 square kilometers.
The height of the floor reserved for the new leisure area
is also 70 meters because it is located on the surface.
The space is extremely vast.
These buildings alone are far from enough to fill the entire floor.
"Just build this floor as a human history memorial area."
"So many super shelters, as well as large and medium-sized shelters."
"As long as there are suitable buildings."
"They can all be moved there."
"As for Yuying Middle School--"
Su Wu's mind emerged with the bright girl he had just seen.
According to the education system of the farmyard,
after the merger of Yuying Middle School,
the original students must compete with their peers among the one billion people in the shelter.
Then the top few hundred people will be eligible to study there.
Considering the quality gap between the two sides,
it is highly likely that none of the current students of Yuying Middle School will be retained.
"Divide it into two parts."
"Pack most of the teaching staff and some classrooms into a main campus."
"For the elites selected from the one billion people to study."
"The main garden and art education parts will be packaged into branches."
"On the basis of retaining the original small number of female students, open admission places to women of school age in the entire shelter."
After hesitating for a while,
Su Wu planned the Yuying Middle School girls' branch that was split out separately in the center of the leisure floor that was about to be built.
It was far away from other residents of the shelter.
He personally served as the principal.
There is a lack of entertainment in the end times.
Occasionally playing a cultivation game
may be a good way to relax.
Chapter 345: The New Terra
After doing all this,
Su Wu thought of the implicit suggestion from Song Hong in his conversation just now.
Now that it has absorbed nearly half of the surviving population of the entire Dongzhou, the farmyard can be regarded as the main body of Dongzhou.
It is no longer appropriate to use the name of the remote city of Jianghe City Shelter.
This is a place that Su Wu had always neglected before.
For a long time, he was used to calling it a farmyard.
But in human history, which farmyard
can accommodate 1 billion people ?
To continue calling it like this, to some extent, is actually a disregard for the dignity and labor of so many people.
"Since it is necessary to have a formal name."
"Then call it Terra."
"In ancient mythology, Terra is the goddess of the earth and the mother of all things. It will bring fertile land and prosperous life."
"This is also the future development direction of the farmyard."
"If the end of the world represents the end of everything and everything."
"Then Terra will become the cradle and paradise of human life."
After deciding on the name,
Su Wu began to enter it into the database of artificial intelligence.
From this moment on,
all future internal or external publicity.
The farmyard will call itself Terra.
Outside,
as the farmyard got its official name,
the huge impact it brought gradually manifested itself.
The simplest and most intuitive manifestation
was that the difficulty of conquering other shelters was reduced by nearly one-third.
The capital of Dongzhou on the Western Wilderness Plateau, and even the federal center in more distant places,
also began to acquiesce that Terra was a force that could have equal dialogue with them.
The negative impact of Su Wu's annexation of most of the population and territory of Dongzhou
was quietly suppressed.
In the afternoon,
within half an hour after the transfer agreement was officially signed with Changming City,
a Morning Light-class transport ship
slowly landed at the largest exit No. 1 of the Changming City shelter and
began to transfer the first batch of 500,000 Changming City shelter residents.
According to Su Wu's plan,
only one Morning Light-class transport ship will be involved in this transfer process,
and it will only be responsible for transferring population and some precious and rare materials.
The rest of the main body.
Tens of thousands of subsequent Ice Lake-class transport ships will take over.
This intentionally restricted and relatively slow transportation process,
in addition to reducing some of the extra transportation losses,
is also enough to ensure that the population of Changming City can smoothly integrate into Terra's social system.
It will not cause a significant impact on Terra due to the rapid growth of the population in a short period of time.
On June 7,
the main frame of Terra's 21st-layer shelter was completed.
The internal construction began simultaneously.
This large layer of the shelter, which was planned by Su Wu as an entertainment area,
will be built in a distributed manner.
Every time a part of the area is completed, it will be opened to the residents of the shelter
to relieve the various depressing emotions caused by their long-term living in a small collective dormitory space.
At the same time,
the first second-generation Morning Light-class transport ship completed all the steps from design to manufacturing and
rolled off the production line smoothly.
Although this new transport ship is called the second generation, the design principles of the hull structure and engine, etc., are all based on the expansion of the first generation.
But the overall performance has been exaggeratedly improved.
The length of the ship from head to tail alone is more than twice that of the first generation, about 470 meters.
It has 2.4 million cubic meters of internal storage space and can carry up to 1.5 million people or 100,000 tons of cargo over short distances.
The cruising speed in the atmosphere is more than 10 times the speed of sound.
In outer space outside the atmosphere, it is even capable of sailing to Pluto.
It is a true space ship.
If Su Wu is willing, he can equip it with enough supplies and internal circulation equipment.
A second-generation Morning Light-class transport ship.
It can carry one or two thousand people and survive in space for more than a thousand years.
"Strictly speaking."
"Now Terra has truly entered the space age."
"It has the ability to develop and construct space to a certain extent."
"The only thing lacking is enough energy."
"The fuel required for ordinary nuclear power plants is extremely limited after all."
On the screen in front of Su Wu,
a website that is extremely unfamiliar to most people in the world was opened.
It was a scientific research forum that Su Wu met when he completed the Golden Balance mission.
John, a second-level researcher at the Federal Academy of Sciences, invited him to join.
Today,
this scientific research forum, which was extremely difficult for Su Wu to read at the time, has almost no secrets
under the continuous exploration of countless scholars and artificial intelligence in Terra. Su Wu also gradually learned some news from the highest level of the Federation. The Federal Central Committee and the Western Continent United Autonomous Council have actually mastered and realized controlled nuclear fusion technology at the beginning of the end of the world. Although limited by the end of the world environment, their own limited industrial capacity and materials, they are currently unable to popularize it. But the sea of stars is undoubtedly completely open to them. If it were just that, it would be fine. What makes Su Wu even more afraid is that no matter whether it is the Federal Central Government or the Western Continent United Autonomous Council, they have more or less mastered some technologies from alien civilizations. Even the colonial fleet they are building, or the Noah's Ark Fleet, are all based on the creations left on the earth by alien civilizations. Before there is a real full-scale conflict with them, it is difficult for Su Wu to specifically evaluate how big the gap is between these relics from alien civilizations and him. The only thing that can be determined is that these alien civilization creations cannot be easily mass-produced. And their own carrying capacity is also extremely limited. Otherwise, the Federal Central Government would not have made the decision to abandon most of the world's population before the end of the world. "Take your time." "There's still a long time." "If it doesn't work, we can use ordinary nuclear power plants or even oil to generate electricity." "Besides, there are also a lot of chemical fuels on other planets in the solar system that can be used for power generation." "Enough to support the day when controlled nuclear fusion technology breaks through." In the next few days, the first and second second-generation Morning Light-class transport ships were born one after another. Su Wu put them into the global trade network. The massive light industrial products and high-end medical services belonging to Terra were transported to every corner of the world with shelters. While the huge transactions brought Su Wu huge profits in a short period of time, they also caused the average selling price of most light industrial products to drop significantly. The relevant markets in the whole world are approaching saturation at a faster rate. On June 12, when Terra was quietly building as usual and the total population slowly accumulated to nearly 1.1 billion, an unprecedented earthquake swept the coastal area of Dongzhou, releasing the majestic energy from the deep sea onto the land without reservation. Near the original Zhenhai City ruins, a total of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land was flooded by hot magma and billions of tons of temporarily thawed seawater in just one or two hours . The super disaster predicted by the Federal Central Government and the capital of Dongzhou officially descended on the continent of Dongzhou in the form of earthquakes and magma eruptions.
