Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter.

Chapter 332 Space Power Grid
Day 2.

10 seventh-generation fighter jets and 1 Morning Light-class transport ship.

It officially rolled off the production line.

at this time.

With the remaining resources of the shelter.

Four more batches of production can still be carried out.

Then, due to the lack of some key raw materials, production will be halted.

"The seventh-generation fighter jet and the Dawn-class transport ship use the same technological framework."

"The key materials required are also similar. The only difference is in the quantity due to differences in body size."

"Considering the significant disparity in their transport capacity."

"After these initial rounds of production, and the completion of basic initial capital accumulation."

"We should focus on producing the Morning Light-class transport ships as much as possible."

Seventh-generation fighter jet.

Behind that unparalleled performance lies a list of tens of thousands of different materials.

Many materials do not exist in nature.

We need to establish corresponding manufacturing equipment for specialized production.

Furthermore, in this post-apocalyptic world, there are no free markets. Each shelter is essentially a closed, isolated island.

Collecting enough basic resources is also quite difficult.

Ultimately, Su Wu faced the challenge of having limited resources.

We must choose a production direction that we prioritize.

Should we prioritize seventh-generation fighter jets for combat or the Morning Light-class transport ships for logistics?

After a brief deliberation, the outcome was almost a foregone conclusion.

That is to fully align with the Morning Light-class transport ships.

Seventh-generation fighter jets are indeed powerful.

But when it really comes down to a life-or-death situation...

Relying on the farmhouse courtyard as a behemoth of a super-giant fortress.

Maximize production capacity to manufacture large electromagnetic railguns and beam cannons.

The combat power it unleashes may not be weaker than that of a seventh-generation fighter jet.

At most, because they cannot move, they can only protect themselves.

It cannot interfere with areas outside the shelter's perimeter.

But for Su Wu, all he needed was to survive.

As for more benefits.

Rather than waiting to fight for it on the battlefield in the future, it's better to produce one more Morning Light-class transport ship now.

We should collect more of the resources that are currently scattered on the earth's surface as soon as possible.

"Furthermore, population is also a resource."

"The primary mission of the Dawn-class transport ships in the early stages was to transport people."

"As long as there is a sufficient population, enough spirituality will be produced."

"Perhaps, it's a technological upgrade."

"That will offset all the previous investments."

They experienced the almost earth-shattering changes that seventh-generation fighter jets brought to refugees.

Su Wu's desire to advance technology became even stronger.

This is why he was determined to prioritize expanding the shelters and gathering more people, no matter the cost.

Acquiring their labor is secondary.

Most importantly, they can bring more spirituality.

After a brief inspection.

The Morning Light-class transport ship took off slowly first.

They departed from the newly built four-story flight path above ground, leaving the farmhouse-style refuge.

In the dim light of the sky above the ground.

Gradually accelerating, it flew towards the direction of Xiaojiang Province.

It will begin its first mission there, transporting the first batch of 500,000 people back.

Following the Morning Light-class transport ships.

The 10 seventh-generation fighter jets that just rolled off the production line, and the first seventh-generation fighter jet that had just broken away from the air transport network at the right time.

The warehouses have begun to be moved to the aerospace carrier factory.

They underwent special warehouse renovations there.

Logistics robots are responsible for delivering the packaged special satellites, each equipped with a large wireless power transmission device.

They were loaded into their hangars.

The total mass of a special satellite is 400 tons.

It was positioned precisely at the transport limit of seventh-generation fighter jets, without wasting a single bit of their carrying capacity. "Loading complete."

"Initiating takeoff procedures."

The factory warehouse doors reopened.

Eleven seventh-generation fighter jets slowly drove out at the same time.

They moved in unison along the ground track into the launch site.

Seventh-generation fighter jets do not have landing gear; their movement on the ground is actually achieved through low-power hovering flight.

Therefore, after entering the launch site.

The engine was not warmed up or started.

They directly and without delay entered the next stage of vertical takeoff.

A total of 11 fighter jets took off in three batches to a height of more than 150 meters.

Leave the shelter via the four flight paths above.

Su Wu's control center.

On the large screen in front of the console.

At this moment, it temporarily became the command center of the launch site.

Multiple split screens from different angles were displayed to monitor every operational detail of the fighter jets.

A few seconds later.

The seventh-generation fighter jets pierced through the clouds and entered a sprint acceleration phase at 20 times the speed of sound.

More than a minute later.

They arrived at their respective designated orbits one after another.

The deployment of special satellites from inside the cabin has begun.

"Deployment successful,"

"Special satellites have been deployed."

"Searching for the link has begun. Connection successful."

"Wireless power transmission network, now operational."

An invisible beam of electricity.

It was launched into the air from a large power transmission device in a farmhouse courtyard.

After being refracted and relayed by several special satellites, it finally landed on an experimental Ice Lake-class transport ship on the Earth's surface.

It successfully received a power replenishment while moving.

"After multiple transfers, the power loss rate reached about 5%."

"A single satellite can simultaneously establish up to 100 different power transmission channels."

"We want to achieve stable coverage of the entire East Asia."

"The current number of satellites is not enough."

"It needs to be expanded to at least six times that amount."

In front of the console screen.

I'm looking through the actual operational data of the space grid reported by artificial intelligence.

Su Wu quickly identified several key points within the process.

Power is transmitted via multiple relays through low Earth orbit satellites.

There will be some additional losses during the process.

Although the proportion is not large, the cumulative number is not insignificant.

The goal is to simultaneously recharge via a space-based power grid.

There is also a limit to the number; it cannot exceed 100.

This number may seem small, but it's not impossible to avoid.

The simplest way is at the terminal that receives the electricity.

For example, in a certain transportation team.

Install multiple small wireless power transmission devices.

First, they receive a beam of power from the space grid, and then distribute it among themselves within the team.

Thanks to small wireless power transmission devices, the maximum transmission distance can reach hundreds of kilometers.

They can also be connected in series and grid.

Therefore, in theory, all devices that need charging and are active within a radius of hundreds of kilometers can be considered as the same team.

Finally, the goal is to build a complete space power grid.

It would require a total of 66 special satellites.

Otherwise, Su Wu would have received a flawed version that could only intermittently recharge designated ground units.

It's not that it can't be used.

However, efficiency will inevitably be greatly reduced.
