Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

“There is a greater need for cement now.”

"The output of the mine cannot be reduced."

Su Wu fell into deep thought.

Don't look at him moving around now, he can still collect tens of thousands of tons of unopened cement.

But it really comes down to it.

Just building super large dormitories that can accommodate more than 200,000 people may not be enough.

That is to say, construction still takes time, and it seems that there is still plenty left.

It’s not easy to just increase production.

Under the continuous heavy rain, the drainage problem of an open-pit mining is quite troublesome.

After thinking about the relevant details in a little more depth, I found that it cannot be solved in a short while.

Su Wu immediately stopped trying.

Instead, he decided to leave this problem to others to deal with.

"It's at the remote control center of the Jingyuan Shelter."

"Let's establish a separate mining research institute."

"The specific methods of mining, as well as the engineering vehicles and robots responsible for mining, can all be left to them."

"As long as we can produce a large amount of cement in a short period of time, it will be fine."

afternoon.

Several reconnaissance drones modified with new technologies.

In heavy rain, fly deep into the mountains.

The topography of the mountain and all other changes were recorded in detail.

these data.

It will be transmitted back to the farmyard through a temporary signal relay device built in the mountain.

Then artificial intelligence performs modeling and calculations.

A route down the mountain was mapped so that access could be rebuilt for transport trucks to transport the cement produced from the mine.

"The safest route."

"There is only a 3% chance that it will be affected by mudslides."

"However, the total distance reached 40 kilometers, which was a bit too long."

Farmhouse, control center on the 2nd floor underground.

Su Wu sat in front of the console and looked at the several routes mapped out, feeling a little confused.

The dangers on the surface are not just mudslides.

The longer the route, the greater the chance of danger.

Moreover, opening the road itself is not an easy task.

Although, transport vehicles are all crawler chassis.

The off-road performance is straight to the max.

Su Wu does not need to use asphalt and cement on mountain roads.

Just spread some gravel and it will work.

But even regardless of the material.

The 40-kilometer route alone is widened enough to accommodate a transport vehicle traveling in one direction.

I don't know how much time it will take.

I was confused for a long time.

Eventually the tendency toward stability overwhelms concerns about time.

Su Wu still chose the longest route.

As for the labor required to build roads.

A remote control center is now established.

Su Wu didn't have to worry about building too many robots and not having enough computing power to control the artificial intelligence.

Throw all the newly built robots to the remote control center.

It's just as feasible to let the workers there operate it manually.

This way.

The price paid for building roads in the mountains.

Except time.

In fact, it is just some electricity, the cost of manufacturing robots, and the food consumption of raising a group of workers.

And just then.

A reconnaissance drone hovering over the mountainous area suddenly detected a violent vibration.

A big mountain a few hundred meters away.

Suddenly a large piece of the whole thing collapsed.

Millions of tons of earth and rocks roared and fell downwards in the dense rain.

Together with the reconnaissance drone, the entire land can be photographed.

As a result, they were all shaken significantly.

In some places with deep water, there were even waves several meters high.

"Another landslide."

Even through a screen.

Su Wu was still a little frightened.

The momentum of millions of tons of earth and rocks rushing down made him wonder for a moment that he could not guarantee safety even if he drove a micro mecha over.

I watched for a while until the shaking stopped.

Su Wu was about to look away.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed something different in the data transmitted back by the reconnaissance drone.

That mountain collapsed less than half of its span.

The part exposed inside does not seem to be an ordinary rock.

Something moved in his heart.

Controlling a reconnaissance drone to get a closer look.

Later, he even remotely piloted a micro mecha.

After arriving in the mountainous area, release the more advanced reconnaissance drone on the micro mecha.

Perform a second deep scan.

final.

He confirmed that what was exposed over there was a small iron mine.

Reserves range from approximately 4 million to 4.2 million tons.

"It's actually an open-pit rich iron mine."

"Is this pie in the sky?"

Su Wu was a little surprised and a little happy.

According to the detected reserves, if this iron mine is completely mined.

The scale of the finished steel products in his hands may be increased dozens of times.

If only for building shelters.

It is estimated that it can be directly supported until the construction of a very large shelter.

"Start mining immediately."

There wasn't much hesitation.

Su Wu made his decision almost immediately.

This kind of open-pit iron mine.

Even in heavy rain, the mining difficulty is quite low.

If you don't take the initiative first, go over and take a seat.

I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble later.

At least, if the official shelter knew about it.

They would definitely not sit idly by and would definitely try to get involved.

"First occupy the place and mine."

"Try to keep it secret."

"Dig as long as you can."

"The rest will be decided after the official shelter finds it."

"Then, the mined ore"

"will be transported to the Qingning Shelter for smelting."

Su Wu's thoughts.

At this moment, they were extremely clear.

He took advantage of the first discovery of the small iron mine to the extreme.

In peacetime, it is almost impossible to conceal such a big thing.

But with the current surface environment.

Under the cover of dark clouds and heavy rain, plus the obstruction of floods.

It is not difficult to hide for a while.

But if you want to hide it for a longer time, you have to rely on luck.

After all, there are many shelters in the mountains.

With so many people and eyes, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be discovered.

In addition.

This iron mine has the same problem as the small limestone mine.

After it is mined, there is no ready-made road for transport vehicles to transport it out.

But the good news is.

This iron mine is located not far from the mountain passage that Su Wu is about to build.

The two mines can basically share the same transportation line.

As long as the ore can be transported out, the rest will be much easier.

The furnace that Su Wu originally used to smelt scrap metal can also be used for ironmaking.

Even with Su Wu's current industrial productivity.

It doesn't take much effort to build a steel plant.

And the site is ready.

The nearby Green Lemon Shelter just repaired a large area.

It is completely enough to accommodate the existence of a steel plant.
