Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter.

Chapter 357 Terra's Supply Reserves

Back to control center.

The familiar surroundings allowed Su Wu to relax again.

There was no rush to make any decisions.

Su Wu first activated the metal platform, projecting the entire structural diagram of the shelter.

Observe carefully.

Thanks to the anti-gravity array and the superior protection level of the exterior walls.

The refuge did not suffer significant damage during the previous subsidence process.

All functions are basically working normally.

so far.

The only visible, deadly threat lies in the enclosed and scorching environment outside.

"Although there is no major problem overall for the time being."

"However, this includes some ordinary warehouses and remote areas where sewage treatment plants are located."

"A small amount of heat has already accumulated."

Terra has a population of 15 billion, a massive super factory and nuclear power plant, and plantations corresponding to its population size.

Like a furnace.

It generates a huge amount of heat every moment.

In the past.

Under normal circumstances, they are transported to the outside surface by the air circulation system.

To ensure a balanced temperature inside the shelter.

But now, deep underground.

This original cooling system is clearly no longer operational.

If left alone.

This accumulating heat will cause the temperature inside the shelter to rise continuously.

Until a level is reached that is sufficient to destroy all heat sources.

"Establish scientific research tasks and dissipate heat in ultra-high temperature environments."

"Initiating a medium-sized project: upgrading the central temperature control system."

Su Wu skillfully issued two targeted commands to the artificial intelligence in succession.

For Terra now...

The consequences of heat accumulation are serious.

However, the solution is surprisingly simple.

It's simply a matter of redesigning and modifying some of the heat dissipation components.

All the knowledge involved is within the existing framework.

However, this heat dissipation process is bound to consume a lot of extra power.

It's a challenge that's neither too big nor too small.

Su Wu's order took effect.

The energy load value at the edge of the shelter's projection has increased significantly.

That means that a portion of the electricity generated by the nuclear power plant has been officially allocated to the new mission.

At the same time, it corresponds to it.

Thousands of researchers and a massive amount of engineering machinery were also mobilized.

A medium-sized renovation project, affecting every corner of the shelter, has begun.

"The power supply is sufficient for the time being."

I glanced at the energy load.

Su Wu put this matter aside for the time being and turned to the next task.

Official statistics on the resource inventory status of the shelters.

Inside the entire shelter.

Classified according to their degree of importance.

The most crucial resources are undoubtedly survival and spirituality.

This is the source of miracles that can defy fate.

The survival points are now down to single digits because they were just used to upgrade the communication center.

The spiritual realm still has an inventory of 230 million.

"Due to the current extremely harsh environment, the survival points can increase by about 40 points per day."

"Enough to upgrade many critical devices."

"As for spirituality, not only is the stockpile ample, but the growth rate is also faster."

"We could consider launching a large-scale research program covering all disciplines."

Terra houses 15 billion people, and the surface population is under the direct control of Su Wu.

This place brought Su Wu extremely rich rewards.

Every day, it can provide Su Wu with up to 17 points of spirituality.

In addition, there's revenue from games that span the globe.

Su Wu can now gain over 23 spiritual points a day. Such a massive amount of spiritual energy is more than enough to propel all scientific research tasks forward simultaneously.

An era of explosive technological advancement.

Perhaps it will soon unfold in this world deep underground.

Survival points and spirituality.

It is classified as a strategic resource.

Gold, silver, and nuclear fuel.

Gold and silver were considered natural currencies and important industrial raw materials before the apocalypse.

Both official and private holdings are enormous.

After Su Wu plundered most of the refuges in the Eastern Continent and traded with the world through the global transportation network.

Their total inventory reached 1.2 tons and 17 tons respectively.

Nuclear fuel, on the other hand, is being withheld from sale by its main holders, federal officials and various continental powers.

Another reason is that Su Wu himself spent too little time mining the relevant mines.

Only 4500 tons of inventory have accumulated.

These resources.

For now.

It is mainly used for power generation in nuclear power plants.

The total amount of electricity it can produce can power the entire Terra for about 60 to 70 years.

Following strategic resources are conventional production resources.

It covers a wide range of high-value industrial raw materials, including common and rare metals, fast cement, and petroleum.

The total inventory is approximately 3.5 million tons.

Before the earthquake, they were mainly transported from other shelters and mining bases in the Eastern Continent by land transport ships.

Compared to Terra's massive size.

The inventory of these supplies is not very large.

However, considering that it is no longer necessary to manufacture various transport ships and supply industrial products globally on a large scale as before.

It is sufficient for many purposes when used only within the shelter.

Finally, there are basic living resources.

Fresh water, air, and food.

The freshwater reserves are relatively abundant due to the emergency transportation in the final stage before the submersion.

The total amount of water used for daily life, plus the water reserves for viewing purposes distributed in parks, aquariums, and other places, reached 2 million tons.

It can basically meet all production and living needs.

There was just the right amount of air.

Its volume is approximately equal to the usable space inside the shelter.

Under the influence of air circulation systems and the regulation of an astonishingly large plantation.

This portion of air is sufficient to sustain the 15 billion people living in the shelter for an extended period.

But we want to treat it as an inexhaustible resource again, just like before.

Used in the production of fertilizers and other industrial raw materials.

It's highly unlikely.

As for food.

The inventory consists of frozen meat, canned goods, grains, and other items from before the apocalypse, totaling hundreds of millions of tons.

It is sufficient to meet the minimum survival needs of the entire shelter's 15 billion inhabitants for nearly a year.

And then there are the plantations that are common in the shelters.

We are already capable of providing enough staple food.

These foods may not be used up even half a century later.

"Overall."

"The shelter is not short of resources."

"Enough to stay underground for a long time with peace of mind."

Su Wu had more confidence in the future thanks to the ample reserves of supplies.

Over the past period of time.

Su Wu was always racing against disaster.

An attempt to save as many people as possible before disaster strikes.

This crude method of storage.

It took away too much of his energy and resources.

As a result, the entirety of Terra.

Apart from the rapidly expanding population, development in other areas has stagnated or even regressed significantly.

Now, the shackles of disaster are gone.

It's time to start focusing on development.
