Industrial Cthulhu doesn't believe in the end times.

No flaws have been found in Chapter 21 so far.

Su Xun was unaware of what was happening on the other side of the world; he was visiting the renovation project of the Binhai Metro with Wang Wei and others.

As a larger-scale project with heavier tasks and greater investment, the facilities here are much more complete than those in temporary factories built on the ground.

Su Xun had already seen many weapons, equipment and industrial machine tools displayed in a tunnel that was not marked on the city's subway map. It was clear that as a large-scale facility with civil defense attributes, the organization not only had a complete conversion plan, but also a ready-made underground base.

What needs to be done now is to plan out channels connecting the existing base with various transportation lines, and to renovate and upgrade the existing base based on the post-apocalyptic intelligence brought by Su Xun.

This place not only has a medical center, library, and classrooms, but also wired landlines that can connect to various stations.

Although wired communication may face many problems in the apocalypse, this is the apocalypse after all, so how can we be sure that everything will be foolproof? In his previous life, there was no communication at all in the early stages of the apocalypse, and Su Xun even doubted that he was the only living person left in the world.

There is still room for improvement in some areas. As the tour proceeded, the person in charge explained the situation to the inspection team step by step.

"We have already begun preparing to customize standardized isolation doors, and will subsequently seal and reinforce all subway entrances and exits."

"Taking advantage of the numerous subway exits, internal safety features, and extensive network of lines, the subway can handle the evacuation of large numbers of people. In this regard, we plan to modify existing subway train sets as transportation platforms."

"This month, the power lines for the coastal metro system will be connected to the coastal nuclear power plant and the tidal power plant to ensure the base's power supply."

"In addition, we are preparing to design a larger-scale unmanned drainage and pumping system to prevent serious water accumulation problems in the underground base."

The person in charge of the base's construction was clearly of a higher rank and had some inside knowledge, so their proposed solutions were more targeted.

After the tour, Su Xun couldn't find anything that needed to be corrected. His mind was filled with how happy he would have been if he had a place like this as a base and shelter in his previous life.

However, the few office colleagues who came with him nitpicked a few issues, but none of them were serious.

"Let's go, there's only one more item on our schedule for today."

The last place to visit is not actually a shelter, but a factory that produces shelters.

Su Xun once proposed the design of a large land vehicle that could provide support for soldiers, enabling them to penetrate deep into dangerous areas to carry out rescue missions.

Su Xun called it a fortress vehicle or a base vehicle, and some busybodies gave it a rather chuunibyou-esque name.

Fortress-style land cruiser.

When we arrived at the factory, the prototype production was not yet finished, but the concept model had already been made, covered with a huge tarpaulin, and parked in the open space outside the factory.

Looking at the rustic three-colored tarpaulin, Su Xun was speechless for a moment. This was indeed a unique feature of Eastern military industry.

The equipment isn't outdated, the combat strength is five, and it can be considered a cultural heritage.

After lifting the tarpaulin, the group saw a large red flower tied to the car window, indicating that all the necessary elements were present.

Although it's called a concept model, it does resemble a car, but many of the materials are substandard, and the external armor is basically a product of 3D printing.

"Our base uses the general-purpose Dongfeng transport vehicle platform, which has the advantages of mature technology, rapid production capability, large load capacity, long range, and excellent defensive capabilities."

"What are the disadvantages?"

"No drawbacks have been found so far."

very good, very powerful.

Su Xun, standing behind, almost laughed. He looked at the behemoth in front of him with sparkling eyes—what man wouldn't want to own a log transport truck?
It's unrealistic to say there are no drawbacks. The biggest drawback is that it doesn't use raw wood, and secondly, it consumes a lot of fuel.

However, with the oil depot nearby, the fuel supply for the vehicles was practically unlimited. After all, in the apocalypse, there was no other need for large quantities of diesel fuel, and the existing fuel reserves were virtually inexhaustible for the small group of survivors.

This applies not only to oilseeds, but to all other resources.

When a vast civilization dies, even a tiny fragment falling from its corpse is enough to sustain millions of people—that is the power of modern industry.

After boarding the vehicle with the staff, I found that the interior of the car was actually a meticulously designed RV.

It is 20 meters long and has an internal area of ​​over 100 square meters after removing the armor layer. It is divided into two layers.

Inside, there are miniature medical stations, rest areas, armories, small granaries, water and oil storage tanks, etc. It can be said that although it is small, it has all the essentials.

Of course, it's not small in size either; as it was designed for, it's a miniature mobile shelter.

Upon reaching the top floor, there are two machine guns mounted there, as well as some sacks and boxes piled on the roof of the vehicle. This is a simulation of storing supplies—the space on the roof is quite large, so it won't be wasted.

It seems the design team for this vehicle was poached from a motorhome manufacturing company, emphasizing the ultimate utilization of space.

Su Xun looked it over twice, liking it more and more as he looked at it, but he still shook his head in the end.

"Too big, too difficult to produce, too low output."

He said to those around him, "We can manufacture a batch and distribute them to various large third-tier bases, but we also need to come up with a smaller version, as many urban shelters will also need this kind of thing."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and some began to directly seek negotiations with others.

Su Xun circled the car twice more, looking at its solid military green body, and pondered for a while.

“This outer shell should not be empty.” He pointed to the vehicle and said to his colleagues, “The fortified vehicle is what we use when we go deep into the danger zone to rescue survivors. We can print some auspicious patterns on it to give hope to those who see it. This will increase the cooperation of those being rescued and make it easier to maintain order.”

This can be considered as some of Su Xun's experience from participating in rescue and pioneering work in his previous life.

"Something beautiful?" A younger person nearby asked, puzzled. After thinking for a moment, they said, "We can't exactly print Hatsune Miku on it, can we?"

"?"

It took Su Xun a while to recall what the other person had said, and he couldn't help but facepalm.

He glanced at the other person and thought to himself that it wasn't surprising.

After all, those born in the 2000s are already thirty years old.

"It has to be serious... just print the red flag."

"Or we could print his picture on it; surely no one would dislike that?"

Although Su Xun didn't specify who it was, everyone present had already figured it out.

That's right, that would definitely bring hope and boost morale.

If someone really doesn't like it...

What are you talking about? That person isn't someone we're trying to save at all.
