Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter.

Chapter 327 The Silent Catastrophe

Reopen the geological reconnaissance data from the Eden satellite.

Su Wu studied it for a while.

Ultimately, a transportation route that was highly unlikely to be located in the main disaster area was selected.

The destination for the transfer was temporarily set at the steel city, 200 kilometers north of the farmhouse.

As a former megacity.

The steel city has enough space to accommodate over 100 million tons of materials.

At the same time, its location.

It's closer to the Bluebird Refuge, yet far from areas where the disaster might occur.

It is an ideal temporary refuge.

However, to reach the steel city via the new route, the entire journey would require crossing 1400 kilometers.

It was almost twice the distance from the seaside refuge to the farmhouse.

It was a real, long journey.

"At the speed of the Ice Lake-class transport ships."

"It will take about a week in total."

"It takes a bit too long, but it's still much better than facing supersonic storms and seismically active zones."

The relocation route has been determined.

Su Wu pondered for a while.

They also brought in newly produced caravans, as well as some caravans that had just transported people back from Xiaojiang Province.

They are grouped separately.

Once you have 100 teams, send them to the Bluebird Refuge.

These trucks were specifically used to transport people.

Their size is large enough to easily take over the entire population of the Bluebird Refuge area.

They were all loaded onto the truck and taken away at once.

They can even bring along some supplies along the way.

Although Su Wu's original intention in occupying the Bluebird Refuge was to use it as a temporary transit warehouse.

But now that it belongs to me...

He couldn't just abandon the residents there.

In any case, we must at least ensure their survival.

"In addition, there are 2000 new Ice Lake-class transport ships produced in the last two days."

"You can also follow behind the caravan."

"Including the more than 3000 ships that already existed there."

"After one trip."

"Enough to transport more than half of the supplies to Steel City."

The terrifying productivity of rural courtyards was on full display at this moment.

The coastal mountainous region here just lost 700 Ice Lake-class transport ships.

In the blink of an eye, the farmhouse produced three times the number of new transport ships.

And the total number of these new and old transport ships combined.

This is enough to transport more than 5000 million tons of supplies at once.

Equivalent to the period before the apocalypse.

The daily rail transport volume of the entire East Continent.

Even more frightening is...

For Su Wu and for the farmhouse, this was just the beginning.

Every day after that.

Their transportation capacity will grow rapidly at a rate of tens of millions of tons.

It won't be long.

It is estimated that it will surpass the total transportation capacity of the entire world by land, sea and air before the apocalypse.

the following few days.

Thousands of Icelake-class transport ships.

They began to follow the route that Su Wu had newly planned.

Starting from the Bluebird Refuge located on the coast, I embarked on a long journey back to the steel city.

The branch cyclone made landfall from the coastal refuge.

Following the route predicted by the Eden satellite analysis, it will slowly move inland along the Kuanjiang River basin.

Wherever it goes.

The mountains were cut and eroded layer by layer.

Ice and snowflakes from the permafrost were swept into the air.

This made the already dim sky even darker and more gloomy.

It's hard to tell whether it's noon or night anymore.

The only thing to be thankful for is.

For now, only a branch of the cyclone has begun to penetrate deeper into the land.

That geologically active zone was what Su Wu feared most.

After reaching the edge of the coastline, they ultimately did not venture any further.

5 month 11 day.

Farmhouse.

"The seaside refuge is finished."

Standing in front of the holographic projection on the metal platform.

Su Wu looked at the seaside refuge that was projected separately.

It was torn apart little by little by an irresistible force.

I once again felt the destructive power of the geologically active zone.

Although the shelter had been stripped of all its equipment long ago and was now just an empty shell.

But its thick concrete walls are still there.

In terms of defensive capabilities and sturdiness.

It is not much different from other inhabited underground shelters.

But even so.

Just a few hours after they were actually trapped in a geologically active zone.

It could no longer hold on and slid completely into the abyss of disintegration.

Switch the holographic projection back to the Dongzhou map.

You can see it now.

The entire seaside refuge and the surrounding area of ​​more than 20 kilometers.

They were all rendered in shades of deep red and light red.

That represents the extent of the devastation caused by geologically active zones.

However, if we consider it to be restrained on land...

In the shallow sea area, the red section extends outwards from the coastline where the seaside refuge is located.

It has already stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

It has grown into a terrifying behemoth.

All underwater shelters located within that area.

Almost none survived.

The death toll is projected to be between 3000 million and 7000 million.

However, most shelters lack the ability to conduct reconnaissance missions.

After being caught in the geologically active zone, the first things destroyed by the intense seismic activity were primarily the communication equipment responsible for connecting to the Suwu satellite network.

Therefore, their disappearance is often silent.

It did not cause any ripples in the outside world.

"Tens of millions of people died silently."

"This proves once again the truth of the apocalypse."

"Simply having a large number of people is meaningless."

"It won't bring any more security either."

Su Wu remained silent for a moment.

He was also somewhat caught off guard by this silent catastrophe.

Exploration methods from the Eden satellite.

It is not possible to predict the direction of the spread of geologically active zones with 100% accuracy.

This led him to misjudge the situation.

The focus of population relocation will be shifted.

They focused on Xiaojiang Province, where agreements had already been reached beforehand, making it easier to acquire, and where the situation was not actually critical.

They completely ignored those underwater refuges.

Otherwise, we would have to make every effort to carry out an emergency evacuation.

Those tens of millions of people will most likely survive.

"Also, speaking of which..."

"Because of concerns about the attitudes of the Federation, the capital of the Eastern Continent, and even those megacities."

"In every action I've taken in the past, I've subconsciously maintained restraint."

"Now it seems."

"The deaths of these tens of millions of people can be seen as a reward for this restraint."

"It's still too restrictive."

Silently commemorating those who sleep at the bottom of the sea.

Su Wu stood quietly by himself for a long time.

And from that day onward.

His actions regarding the East Island Refugee Site underwent a subtle but gradual change.

They became more radical.

5 month 12 day.

The total number of Icelake-class transport ships has reached 9000.

Su Wu devoted all his time to transporting ordinary supplies to the Bluebird Refuge and its surrounding area.

at this time.

The first batch of Icelake-class transport ships, fully loaded with supplies, departed from the Bluebird Refuge. They have been on the road for a full six days.

There are still a couple hundred kilometers to go before reaching our destination, the steel city.

Based on this speed, the calculation is as follows.

When they arrived in the steel city.

There's basically no need to go back and make a second trip.

The newly produced Icelake-class transport ships following behind them will transport all the supplies transferred from the coastal mountains in one go.

They were all taken to the steel city.

On the provincial route from Jianghe City to Xiaojiang.

With abundant resource supply.

The fleet of commercial vehicles has continued to expand to 600.

The third round of population transportation has begun.

In the first two rounds of transportation, they brought a total of 2000 million new residents to rural communities.

Considering the still expanding scale of the commercial vehicle queue.

This third round of population transport is expected to relocate more than 13 million people at once.

"Once the supplies and people from these two places have been transported..."

"Neither of these lines will be abandoned."

"They will become the main transportation arteries of the East."

“Starting from the coastal areas and Xiaojiang Province respectively, we will gradually absorb the surrounding refugees in batches, from far to near.”

"Continue to transport their resources back to the farmhouses."

This plan.

The main method is to efficiently scavenge by scanning images.

In addition to megacities, every refuge along the way will be visited.

It can make the most of the existing roads and acquire as many resources as possible.

As for whether doing so will exacerbate the conflict with megacities, or even provoke a joint counterattack from them.

These were no longer within Su Wu's consideration.

Simultaneously.

In order to cope with the foreseeable influx of a large amount of resources.

Su Wu was on the 13th basement level of the aquarium in the farmhouse courtyard.

A second super factory was built.

The entire construction period for this factory was 7 days.

After completion.

It is expected that the production of Icelake-class transport ships can be doubled.

It will reach a production scale of 2000 ships per day.

Furthermore, it can reserve more production capacity to prepare for the mass production of the upcoming seventh-generation fighter jet.

5 month 13 day.

A branch cyclone that made landfall from a coastal refuge.

We gradually approached the farmhouses along the Kuanjiang River basin.

In the places it ravaged.

All the mines suffered severe damage.

The mine shaft collapsed, including the vacuum transport pipeline, all buildings constructed on the surface, and other facilities associated with mining.

Most of them were destroyed.

Production plummeted to rock bottom in a short period of time.

in the afternoon.

Supersonic airflow swept past the towering outer walls of the farmhouse courtyard.

It officially places it on the surface of the earth.

The country has been transformed into a storm.

From this moment on.

It's not just the smaller Qingkong-class transport drones.

Even sixth-generation fighter jets.

It is also unable to take off and land normally at the airport in the farmhouse courtyard.

Only the destination can be specified.

Temporarily switch to Steel City.

"Currently, a large wireless power transmission device is located in the mountains, about 20 to 30 kilometers to the north."

"It has been dismantled on the spot and placed in a shelter in the mountains."

"An ordinary nuclear power plant outside a farmhouse courtyard."

"To avoid accidents."

It has also been temporarily closed.

"Now all the electricity needs of the farmhouses can only be met by the existing stockpile and the large conventional nuclear power plant that was built 13 floors underground."

An ordinary nuclear power plant outside a farmhouse courtyard.

The original structure was merely an abandoned, small civilian shelter.

The main body is only six or seven meters away from the ground.

Such a shallow depth.

Faced with a supersonic storm capable of shearing mountains layer by layer.

Safety cannot be fully guaranteed.

It's easier to just shut it down.

On the contrary, it is a new nuclear power plant built inside a farmhouse courtyard.

They performed exceptionally well.

Single-handedly, it steadily took over the electricity needs of more than 1 million people in the entire shelter, including their daily lives, industrial production, and plantations.

They inspected all the facilities outside the shelter.

We confirmed that none of them had any problems during the storm.

Even those dozen or so vacuum transport channels, which are considered a weak point.

It wasn't affected in any way.

At most, the soil and debris they fling out will be carried into the air by the storm halfway through their journey.

They soar hundreds or even thousands of meters in the air.

Let the sky be even darker and the air even more polluted.

Su Wu began to withdraw his gaze.

They focused their efforts on the shelter.

Nearly half a month has passed since the final battle with the amethyst.

Liu Xixi conducted reverse engineering research on their remains.

It has also achieved a number of breakthroughs.

The analysis of all laser beam weapons has been completed.

It can be derived into three series: laser cutting, lightweight anti-aircraft laser, and main battle laser beam cannon.

They were all put into the production line for mass production.

"Laser cutting can be used to assist in mining ore and excavating underground space."

"Lightweight defense lasers can easily destroy small and medium-sized drones, as well as defend against most missile and rocket attacks."

"Suitable for use on ordinary spider robots, merchant cars, and Icelake-class transport ships."

"The laser beam main gun's power is roughly between that of a regular electromagnetic railgun and a large electromagnetic railgun."

"It performed slightly weaker than the biological warship."

"At the same time, each launch requires a large amount of electricity."

"Only land-based warships of the Pioneer-class or higher, as well as farmhouses, are capable of using it."

"No other aircraft, including sixth-generation fighters, can be equipped with this beam cannon."

For Su Wu, the laser beam main gun was a different story.

The power level isn't too important, as long as the strength is adequate.

The key point is that no pre-charge is required during launch.

Once the target is locked, it can be launched immediately and arrive at the target location almost instantly.

This advantage can make up for Su Wu's weakness in long-range combat.

The next time we fight the amethyst biological warship.

That way, it won't seem so thrilling anymore.

Instead, they can be easily wiped out.

In addition to laser weapons.

Regarding the engine of the biological warship, Liu Qianqian also created a semi-finished prototype.

Despite its many flaws, it couldn't even really start up.

But the underlying principle made Su Wu's eyes light up.

I gained a different perspective.

By drawing inferences from similar cases, one can gain a comprehensive understanding.

The final hurdle that truly limited the development of seventh-generation fighter jets was the pulse blast engine.

This completes the final theoretical design.

Production can begin.

And with the productivity of the super factory.

As long as there are complete design drawings.

Even the seventh-generation fighter jets to be produced will be much larger than the sixth-generation ones.

It can almost be called an air fortress, or an airborne mothership.

It won't take too long.

The finished product can be seen in a maximum of 20 hours.

"tomorrow."

"We can conduct live-fire tests of the seventh-generation fighter jet tomorrow."

"Storms on the surface."

"It's a perfect natural testing ground."
