Chapter 280: Super Large Electromagnetic Railgun
"So, the rock and soil above the underground shelter in the farmyard."
"It has fulfilled its historical significance and it is time to leave the stage."
Under long-term subtle influence.
A shelter built underground is safer than one built on the ground.
This fixed psychological suggestion.
Even though Su Wu has developed the shelter to its current size with a diameter of 7 kilometers and a population of 27 million.
There is still a 10-meter-thick layer of rock and soil above the shelter.
But in reality.
Compared with the huge size of the shelter, the thickness of 10 meters can be said to be a layer of dust on the skin of a giant.
In addition to limiting the speed at which Su Wu builds the shelter.
It basically has no other use.
Now.
Su Wu broke this psychological shackles.
It's like being reborn.
At the same time, it will soon be fed back to every corner of the farmyard.
Let tens of millions of people feel the impact of this change.
[Self-check completed.]
[Beginning to activate combat status.]
The AI's prompt sounded beside Su Wu's ears.
Let him come back to his senses from his daydreaming.
On the holographic projection in front of him.
The surface of the farmyard.
A circular high-speed cement platform began to rise slowly.
Until it was supported by four retractable metal supports underneath it.
In the wind and snow, it slowly rises to a height of 150 meters.
[The super-large electromagnetic railgun has arrived at the designated position.]
[It begins to deploy into combat posture.]
A tower body, plus a gun barrel.
A huge metal turret with a total length of over 500 meters.
Gradually, its original shape appeared on the high-altitude platform.
Then, a row of blue cold light indicators appeared.
It gradually lights up from the front end of the barrel.
Until it extends to the ammunition depot on the tower.
This means that the entire super-large electromagnetic railgun is ready.
You can start shooting at any time.
"It takes up to a minute to charge before each shot."
"After charging is completed, the maximum energy storage time cannot exceed 30 seconds."
Su Wu browsed through the various data fed back by this newly-born super weapon during its operation.
As the core is the purple crystal debris.
After investing more than tens of thousands of spiritual points, the framework of electromagnetic theory has been studied to a very high level.
The highest specification electromagnetic weapon that can be produced at present.
There is no doubt that the super-large electromagnetic railgun is powerful.
Even though it has not been tested in actual combat.
The data presented only in theoretical calculations.
This has shown that its attack intensity per unit area has exceeded that of all conventional weapons and strategic weapons such as ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs.
The Tianqing strategic strike system is quite close to the Eden satellite.
However, this kind of pure and extreme power.
It's not without cost.
Every time it is fired.
The entire super-large electromagnetic railgun needs a complete overhaul.
Replace the core component made from the remains of the purple crystal.
Some overheated gun barrels also need to be repaired.
Overall.
It would be considered good if we could launch once an hour.
And the launch cost.
It mainly depends on the storage quantity of purple crystal debris.
Su Wu has been here for so many days.
The collected purple crystal debris can be taken out and used as consumables.
It is only enough to supply the super-large electromagnetic railgun seven or eight times.
"Let's try it once."
"Anyway, the number of purple crystal debris will only increase."
Thought for a while.
Su Wu decided to indulge himself.
If you have a new weapon, you should try it out yourself once.
Assessments based solely on paper data may not be reliable.
It is also difficult to form an intuitive and accurate impression.
Delegating authority to artificial intelligence.
soon.
A turret located on a platform 150 meters above the ground.
A ball of blue and white light began to flash.
A powerful gathering of energy.
Even a weak electromagnetic force field was formed.
The snowflakes that were sent to the turret by the strong wind were repelled outside.
[Choose attack mode, armor-piercing.]
[Target confirmed, northwest direction, Gyro Peak.]
[Fire.]
A blinding blue beam pierces the snow along the way.
It crashed heavily into the mountains about ten or twenty kilometers to the north of the farmyard.
Then he plunged into the hillside of one of the mountains.
More than half a minute later.
A dull roar like thunder came from the mountains far away.
Echoing above the surface of the farmyard.
And in this place where the roar was born.
The place was attacked by a super-large electromagnetic railgun.
A tunnel hundreds of meters long appeared.
This blow.
It goes straight through the entire mountain.
"Performance was in line with expectations."
"The attack strength is pretty good."
Through the surveillance, looking at the situation on the other side of the mountains.
Su Wu was quite satisfied with the performance of the super-large electromagnetic railgun.
With this new strategic weapon in hand.
He will become much calmer when facing the evolution of Amethyst.
Then.
After checking the condition of the turret after firing, no unexpected problems occurred.
Su Wu began to let the platform in the air return to the ground.
Previously, the super-large electromagnetic railgun was sent to an altitude of 150 meters to facilitate extreme testing.
In fact, as long as you can hit the target.
The turret can launch an attack at any height below 150 meters.
at the same time.
The laser defense array was originally deployed above the core area of the farmyard.
At the same time as the construction of the turret was completed, it was simultaneously transferred to the mobile platform where the turret was located.
To facilitate more stringent protection of the safety of the super-large electromagnetic railgun.
The final testing of the electromagnetic gun has been completed.
Su Wu then turned and projected the overall structure diagram of the farmyard shelter onto the metal platform.
In addition to building and testing super-large electromagnetic railguns today.
There is another thing that is equally important.
"All temporary warehouses on the surface have been relocated."
"All personnel who were working on the construction in the shelter have been moved to a safe area."
"There are also various key equipment that have been prepared for collision prevention."
"We can start large-scale blasting now."
He scanned the construction sites from the fifth underground floor to the first underground floor, which had become deserted.
After making sure that there are no omissions in the preparation work.
Su Wu gave the order to detonate.
The next moment.
Continuous and subtle explosions sounded around the farmyard.
A large amount of smoke and dust accompanied the detonation of bombs buried underground.
It soared straight up from the ground to a height of more than ten meters in the air.
Just a few minutes later.
All places within a radius of 3.5 kilometers centered on the core area of the farmyard.
It all looked like it had been plowed.
The hard rock soil that was almost solidified into one turned into a piece of soft land.
After Su Wu got rid of the inherent impression that he had to work underground.
For the expansion of farmyard shelters.
There is a better construction model.
That is to dig a hole first.
Starting from the ground, remove all the soil and rocks that are in the way of expanding the shelter.
Then continue to build the shelter in the pit.
The benefits of doing this.
This is equivalent to directly simplifying the most difficult and time-consuming excavation step in the shelter expansion process into a simple transportation task.
And if there is no restriction on the mining steps.
Thanks to the characteristic of quick cement that it can solidify quickly within three minutes.
All the remaining construction processes can be completed at an incredibly fast speed.
"According to the new model."
"The expansion project from the fifth underground floor to the first underground floor originally took about 50 days to complete."
"It will be shortened to just seven days."
"Three days were used to transport soil and rocks from the ground."
"Two days to expand the shelter from underground level 5 to underground level 1."
"There is still one day left to avoid the cold front that may come at any time."
Working on the surface is as simple as it gets.
But the harsh environment there will still bring some interference.
Excavators and ordinary transport vehicles that were designed from the beginning to work underground.
But it has no ability to resist low temperatures and cold currents.
During the period of low temperature and cold wave, work can only be temporarily suspended.
But despite this.
The overall work efficiency is still much higher than before being trapped underground.
It only takes a week.
The work that was previously estimated to take nearly two months can be completed.
There are more than 20 million people outside the farmyards, and the plantations that are about to fill most of the shelters affiliated with Jianghe City.
They were all relocated directly into the farmyard shelter.
"Then, the difficulty of construction was greatly reduced."
"A huge amount of labor saved in the engineering team."
"We can focus all our efforts on building the eighth underground level of the shelter."
"It's separated by the already built 7th and 6th underground floors."
"The eighth underground floor, which is located deeper underground, still needs to be expanded using the traditional excavation and reconstruction method."
"But this part."
"It's not that urgent anymore."
"It doesn't matter if it's faster or slower."
Su Wu suddenly discovered during his planning.
The precious underground shelter space in the farmyard had always been insufficient.
With the change in construction method this time.
It has been completely resolved.
He was thinking about the residential areas, grain plantations, and even meat farms that had been cut down with great difficulty.
Construction can start simultaneously one week later.
No more indefinite postponements.
At the same time, affected by this.
Tens of millions of shelter residents now have to work more than 10 hours a day.
It is also possible to restore the original 8-hour work system.
No need to bear excessive labor pressure anymore.
"It's just a change of mindset."
"It's brought about such a huge change."
"Turn the original difficult mode into a simple mode."
Su Wu sighed softly, feeling somewhat regretful for his past mindset.
Fortunately, it's not too late to wake up.
"Next."
"Since there is enough space in the shelter."
"Then we can try to transfer the population from the Kuanjiang River Basin and the area around Yu'an City as quickly as possible."
"We just moved them all to the farmyard shelter."
"Only then can they truly become citizens recognized by the system."
"Provide the spirituality that belongs to the people under your rule."
A ruling population of more than 20 million can provide more than 2,000 spiritual points every day.
The game currency exchange ratio is set by Su Wu.
These new spiritual incomes are equivalent to an increase of more than 100,000 tons of food every day.
Or more other resources.
It is a very considerable income.
The end of the world is still the end of the world after all.
In this era when humans can only hide in underground shelters.
For most people, the most important thing is food to survive.
In a sense, it is the game currency issued by Su Wu.
Maybe its value is not as strong as food.
It is roughly equivalent to precious universal currency.
"Also, I can let go."
"It further expanded the scale of external plunder."
Su Wu had spent a week before.
Only in the northern region have we occupied 30 shelters of varying sizes.
There are of course many other factors involved.
But it is undeniable that one of the reasons is quite important.
That is, Su Wu lacked sufficient shelter space to accommodate the population.
This made him subconsciously restrained during the process of conquering the country.
I'm afraid of indigestion from eating too much.
And now, of course, there is no such concern.
No matter how many people he had to eat, Su Wu could easily handle it.
Of course, the so-called plunder.
It does not necessarily mean occupying the refuge by force.
Until now, in the entire land of Dongzhou.
For many refugees there is not enough space to produce food.
Too much population is a burden.
Su Wu only needed to let the caravan carry a cart of grain or other industrial goods.
It is easy to exchange for an equivalent carload of people in many places.
This way.
The efficiency in collecting population is much higher than attacking each shelter one by one.
And it will not arouse public anger or lead to strong backlash from the federation.
"Just right."
"Those plantations built in attached shelters."
"There is no need to demolish it, and we can even continue to build it."
"Until all the space is utilized."
"Then the output inside can be used as goods for foreign trade."
Plantation in attached shelter.
Because adequate security cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, it was not suitable to become the main grain production base under Su Wu's rule.
But as an additional economic source.
There is no problem in using it to exchange for population and other resources.
In this way.
The more they produce, the more value they create.
Even if it was destroyed by accident, it would not cause any serious damage to Su Wu.
Sit back down at the console.
Su Wu opened the production list of the super factory again.
Since we want to speed up the scale of external plunder.
The most important means of transportation are the Ice-class land frigates and snow transport vehicles that make up the caravan.
Naturally, the more the better.
Consider also that after occupying the Steel City, both rare resources and common resources are available.
There won't be too much shortage in the short term.
Therefore, there will not be much pressure to expand production.
"According to the current statistics of the resources in Steel City."
"We will eventually be able to produce about 120 more Iceberg-class land frigates."
"As for the snow transporter, it will allow the Gigafactory to continue full production for more than a month."
The productivity of the super factory is powerful.
But after all, its area is only about 10 million square meters.
There is still a production ceiling.
Even if resources were sufficient, the total number of snow transport vehicles that could be produced in a day would be only 500.
