Chapter 338 Noah's Ark
Farmyard, 5th floor underground.
North District-02 Remote Control Center.
A girl with delicate features, wearing the latest style of sensor helmet, sat quietly in the operating seat.
Concentrated on operating the industrial mecha 8 floors above the ground.
Through the screen in front of her, she can clearly see the pictures inside, which are flowing at high speed.
There are also countless dynamic data around, constantly refreshing like a waterfall.
These ordinary people just take a quick look at the massive amount of information, which is enough to make them dizzy.
For the girl, it is easy to handle.
Not only can she easily summarize and classify all the information, but she can also finely control the industrial mecha, insert it appropriately, and complete the task with the simplest movements.
It is so skillful that it seems like playing a game that has been completed tens of millions of times.
At a certain moment, the high-speed flashing picture paused, and a prompt from the artificial intelligence popped up on it.
"The task of distributing materials in the transit warehouse has been completed."
"This task lasted 13 minutes and 27 seconds."
"The overall evaluation is excellent (S grade).
" "Four hours of labor points have been settled. " "
The next stage of the task has been issued."
"Go to the surface C-13 area and collect a total of 1,000 cubic meters of ice."
A virtual map unfolded on one side of the screen.
It marked the current location of the mecha she was operating and the new route required to rush to the mission destination.
"It's like this again."
Looking at the refreshed tasks, Jiang Yunxia sighed slightly.
Knowing that this is a special treatment for her.
Since a few days ago, she suddenly received a notification from the artificial intelligence that she had passed the marriage screening. And after her status was changed from unmarried to married in her personal database.
The familiar environment that she had adapted to began to become unfamiliar.
First of all, everyone in the school knew overnight that she was already a woman with a fiancé.
The former suitors, whether willing or not,
were forced to keep their distance from her under invisible pressure.
After school, the work place was also moved from the original public hall to a semi-private single room.
The mecha she had been operating was transformed from a shared tool for three people to her exclusive tool.
She could even make special modifications to it, including painting it in different colors and adding various components that were not originally available.
Even the work tasks were no longer fixed in a certain area in a repetitive and boring manner.
Instead, after completing a task, she would be randomly assigned to another place.
It seemed that they were intentionally letting her understand the situation of the entire shelter.
Although Jiang Yunxia was not very opposed to this.
She had no intention of finding a boyfriend for the time being.
The alienation of her suitors was a good thing that reduced her troubles.
The constantly changing new tasks also made her feel quite novel and interesting.
However, just ignoring her thoughts like this.
It was a bit too much to force her to have a fiancé.
Even more outrageous was that
until now, she didn't even know what he looked like except that his name was Su Wu.
After a while of worrying,
Jiang Yunxia sorted out her mood and clicked to confirm to accept the new task.
She began to rush to the destination along the route.
It was different from the previous tasks.
This time, it was her first time to leave the shelter and go to the surface to work.
The girl was somewhat curious about what the ground looked like now.
Because she could only drive the industrial mecha on foot.
She was not walking on a convenient and busy transportation channel.
It was not until more than half an hour later.
Jiang Yunxia controlled her industrial mecha and left the scope of the shelter.
Standing on the barren frozen land covered with a not-so-thick layer of snow.
Looking back at the behemoth behind her.
Jiang Yunxia happened to see that on the air port extending from the high outer wall.
There was a Morning Light-class transport ship, with quiet flashing lights, slowly moored to the edge of a platform.
"The population of the shelter will increase by hundreds of thousands again."
Jiang Yunxia didn't know how many times she had seen that transport ship on the Internet.
She knew that it would transport tens of millions of people back to Jianghe City every day.
Even on the Internet, many people now call it Noah's Ark.
Because wherever it appears, it will bring people hope to escape the end of the world.
To some extent, this is not wrong.
The more he lived in the shelter in Jianghe City, the more he understood the information inside.
The more Jiang Yunxia could appreciate the tremendous power it contained.
With the size of the shelter in Jianghe City,
it was hard for Jiang Yunxia to imagine what kind of earth-shattering disaster would threaten it.
For ordinary people,
entering here is really no different from leaving the apocalypse.
At most, it is possible that in terms of material, it is temporarily unable to catch up with the average living standard before the apocalypse.
Thinking of this, he retracted his sight.
Jiang Yunxia continued to drive the industrial mecha and run on the surface.
The industrial mecha with a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour
can be called a fast-moving vehicle.
There is nothing wrong with moving short distances on the surface.
After running out for more than ten kilometers,
Jiang Yunxia came to an area that once belonged to the river.
As soon as he entered this range, the lonely and desolate tones around were immediately replaced by endless engineering equipment.
Looking around.
There are vehicles everywhere cutting and collecting ice.
Occasionally, you can hear a continuous roar.
That is when directional explosives are used to crush the ice on the ground.
Then, like harvesting wheat, the broken ice is uniformly collected and transported to the transport vehicle.
Since a long time ago, the groundwater has been exhausted and can no longer meet the development needs of the Jianghe City shelter.
The main channel for the entire shelter to obtain water has become collecting ice on the surface.
It has developed rapidly all the way to the present.
The entire set of related processes has become extremely mature.
There is a detailed corresponding plan for where it is suitable for cutting and transportation, and where it is suitable for blasting and collecting.
It is guaranteed to maximize the efficiency of labor collection.
At the collection site, every certain distance, there is an Ice Lake-class transport ship quietly floating there, taking on the task of being a hub node.
When Jiang Yunxia looked over to observe.
There happened to be an Ice Lake-class transport ship filled with nearly 10,000 tons of ice.
It began to close the four open hatches one by one.
Like a giant beast, it slowly drove towards the direction of the farmyard shelter.
The maximum speed of the Ice Lake-class transport ship is ten kilometers per hour.
From the data, it seems to be so slow that it is almost disabled.
In fact, it is equivalent to the average speed that an adult who exercises regularly can maintain in a long-distance run.
Compared with its ten thousand tons of load,
it is completely sufficient.
After taking the time to observe the environment,
Jiang Yunxia controlled the industrial mecha and came to the designated location of the mission.
On top of a flat and thick ice field.
Activate the vibration cutter installed on the mecha and enter the working state.
A set of cutting route maps drawn on the spot based on the current scene then appeared on the screen.
This is the best course of action calculated by artificial intelligence.
Jiang Yunxia glanced at it and silently memorized it.
Then she waved the cutting knife in her hand and operated it according to the route map without any error.
Soon, large chunks of neatly cut ice began to be piled on a nearby transport truck.
Jiang Yunxia was alone.
At this moment, she showed a labor efficiency that was more than ten times that of ordinary workers.
And in the seventh minute after she started working.
Accompanied by the biting cold wind and low-hanging clouds.
A blizzard.
In a very short time, it completed the brewing process and began to fall.
For a while, the high-definition camera lens on the industrial mecha operated by Jiang Yunxia.
Could no longer capture the scene one or two meters away.
In fact, many times, even the ice surface under her feet could no longer be seen clearly.
It seemed that the whole world.
In an instant, it transitioned from busy to lonely.
Only she was left.
Jiang Yunxia was in a trance and pursed her lips. She
buried her head and continued to concentrate on collecting and separating ice, snow and soil on the ground.
Although her vision was blocked, she
relied on the model established by the radar scanning data on the industrial mecha.
The overall work efficiency did not decrease much.
Unconsciously,
the artificial intelligence's score for her labor gradually began to stabilize above the S level.
May 20.
Farmyard, underground control center.
Su Wu broke away from the busy shelter affairs and poured himself a glass of iced juice.
He took a sip.
In the holographic projection in front of him,
the structural diagram of the farmyard shelter was quietly suspended in the air.
Except for the height being one section higher than the previous few days, there seemed to be no major changes.
But inside it.
Compared with the past, there have been earth-shaking changes.
First of all, after two Morning Light-class transport ships transported day and night.
The total population of the entire farmyard shelter has reached 205 million.
On the sixth floor of the shelter, which is currently the only layer on the surface where people actually live.
The total number of residents exceeds 50 million.
It is almost equal to twice the total number of surviving people in Australia.
Even though it has grown to such a large number.
With the completion of the 9th floor above ground.
Su Wu still has three and a half floors of living space, which are vacant.
It can accommodate another 270 million people at a time.
It can be said to be luxurious to the extreme.
However, this extreme abundance of living space
is based on the result of Su Wu's almost all engineering forces and ordinary resources plundered from outside.
Related supporting resources, such as domestic water, spare parts machinery production factories suitable for nearby work, plantations that have just been built and have not yet produced food, etc.,
are temporarily difficult to keep up with the progress.
Of course, these problems are not too big.
With the current scale of the Ice Lake-class transport ships, reaching 27,000 ships.
One trip can transport 270 million tons of materials.
It is enough to completely empty all other shelters in a province, or even two provinces, except for super cities, in a very short time.
These gaps in ordinary resources will soon be filled.
There will even be some left over.
And considering that in front of this huge transport corps,
the 615 caravans that used to be the main force of transport have been reduced to a negligible role in transportation.
Su Wu simply removed them from the original transport sequence and transformed them
into a special escort team that only carries armed forces and relief supplies. They
patrol back and forth on the transport routes of the Ice Lake-class transport ships,
and are responsible for solving obstacles along the way and taking on security work.
"There are currently about 10,000 Ice Lake-class transport ships, which are distributed on the route from Jianghe City to Xiaojiang Province."
"10,000 ships are responsible for transporting supplies to Ancheng behind Yuhe City and its surrounding affiliated shelters."
"Six thousand ships are transferring resources around Gangcheng."
"Many of these scattered transport ships are already fully loaded with supplies and are on their way back."
"On average, about 6,000 ships will arrive at the farmyard every day, bringing more than 60 million tons of supplies."
"And this acceptance rate is not the limit of the farmyard, but the limit of the transportation routes."
"If there are more, there will be no more road space for these transport ships to travel in parallel."
"Considering this, next."
"We can continue to open up three more northbound transportation routes. We can also continue to explore deeper on both sides of the Kuanjiang River Basin."
With the example of successfully taking over the super city of Ancheng,
Su Wu later sent a group of intelligence personnel to all the super cities in Dongzhou in one go to collect information.
And finally selected 32 of the super cities as the first targets for infiltration and armed takeover.
For this reason, during this period of time, most of the transport capacity of the 500 sixth-generation fighters in the entire shelter
has been used to support this operation.
Even the Morning Light-class transport ships were dispatched twice for this purpose
, transporting a large number of security forces to those cities to assist in the battle.
Now, the progress of these selected strategic targets
is also quite ideal.
In the fastest few cities, the rebel forces supported by Su Wu have already mastered the highest power there.
They can start to cooperate with the transfer of population and resources.
This is also the reason why Su Wu suddenly added three new transportation routes to the north and carried out large-scale plundering towards all the provinces along the Kuanjiang River.
And 32 super cities mean 32 provincial centers.
Once they are completely digested.
Su Wu's total population will easily exceed the 1 billion mark.
It is equivalent to bringing half of Dongzhou under the rule.
At the same time, more importantly.
Once the achievement of ruling a population of 1 billion is achieved.
Su Wu can complete the main task of the next stage and
obtain an unknown cross-era reward.
"Although I don't know what the reward will be."
"However."
"Just 1 billion people." "
It is enough to push the farmyard to the height of the world's pole. " "
At that time, even if we directly fall out with the capital of Dongzhou." "
Fight against the main combat force of the Federation."
"It shouldn't be a big problem."
Facing this upcoming huge turning point in fate.
Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
