My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1127
[Chapter 1112 Borrower, Unexpected Harvest!]
This was the reality that Su Mo saw with his own eyes when he went down the spiral staircase.
I don’t know how these gophers endure the closed space. They have lived in a place with an average per capita of less than three square meters for more than two hundred years, and they are still used to this narrow space.
This is simply more terrifying than going to jail!
The dungeons set up in the territory are at least 8 square meters per person. Compared with this place, it is simply heaven.
Su Mo’s expression was a little subtle.
He somewhat understood why the residents in this shelter showed such a strong purchasing power when they encountered fresh vegetables.
It is difficult for these poor people to breathe even a few mouthfuls of fresh air, let alone mature plants on the surface.
Maybe it’s not the taste of those vegetables that won the popularity, but the breath of freedom on them that attracts the gophers to buy one after another.
In this way, they try to adapt in advance and perceive life in the future.
“Pingtan Shelter has a total of 21 floors, and the upper 16 floors are the living floors of residents. Theoretically, the comfortable capacity here should be 30,000 people, and the maximum number cannot exceed 50,000. It’s a pity that with the long Over the years, the residents of the shelter have continued to multiply, and in the end it seriously exceeded this limit, which led to today’s evil results.”
Liehu continued to introduce.
They are all idle in the refuge, and can’t go out to work on the surface.
What else can I do?
In the beginning, there were only a little over 20,000 people in Pingtan Refuge, but after only three generations, the number soared to 100,000.
Life was harder then than it is now.
Many families of five have to live in a space of less than five square meters. It can be said that there is nothing else to do except sleep.
“Many people can’t bear to live in such an aggrieved way in the shelter, especially as the living environment further deteriorates, more and more people have proposed to open up new gathering places on the surface, or build in another place The idea of a new refuge.
The refuge manager at the time did not reject it, and of course he had no reason to refuse. After all, the manager of the deterioration of the living environment is also very responsible. And under this kind of indulgence, at least one-third Many people went to the ground.”
“The homeless you can see in the city now, in fact, many of their ancestors were residents of the shelter.” “
So that’s how the homeless came?”
Su Mo was slightly surprised.
He always thought that the homeless were those who had no refuge in the pre-war era, and they escaped and reproduced by themselves.
It never occurred to me that the ancestors of these wanderers were also gophers.
“The impact of the nuclear war is too great. Although there is a natural harbor around Qinggang City where a large amount of seafood can be caught, those seafood have already become extremely ferocious under the influence of radiation. It is no exaggeration to say that the Since the biennial animal disaster broke out, the radiation beast’s combat effectiveness is no less.” “
If it was just relying on homeless people to reproduce, they might have disappeared in the city long ago.”
Speaking of this, Liehu’s face floated . There was a hint of emotion.
When this happened in the initial refuge, each resident was given the opportunity to choose by himself, and he could choose to continue living in a small space or go out to wander.
But as many people stepped out of the refuge and found that the outside world was not as peaceful as they imagined, these people inevitably had the idea of returning to the refuge.
At this time, those who stayed in the refuge had found that as these people left, their living conditions became better and better.
Naturally, conflicts erupted from here.
Many refuges have begun to introduce the rule that as long as you step out of the refuge, you will be delisted and never return.
The beginning of the rule operation was quite smooth.
Because more than 99% of the people saw the tragedy outside and the restrictions of this rule, they gave up the idea of leaving the shelter, and naturally no one objected.
However, it didn’t take long, and as the number of people increased again, new contradictions inevitably emerged.
Either limit the population growth of the shelter, or drive a group of people out regularly.
In order to maintain combat effectiveness, a new rule appeared without knowing which shelter to start with.
elimination system.
For example, in the flat beach shelter, residents on each floor have monthly mission plans.
If the monthly task cannot be completed three times in a row, then the entire layer of people will be cleared out of the shelter and go outside to survive in the ruins of the city.
He was also one of the people who were almost kicked out of the refuge back then. If it wasn’t for his luck later, he probably would have died in a corner long ago.
“Then these homeless people in Qinggang City ran away from the Qinggang Refuge?” “
It’s not clear, and they may have come from other cities.”
No one will count the predecessors and origins of the homeless.
Following in the footsteps of Liehu, Su Mo quickly walked up the stairs to the last floor of the residential floor.
The further down, the better the living conditions.
When we reached the sixteenth floor, everyone’s living space had been enlarged to a full “ten square meters”.
Although it still sounds like a small number, if you think about the fact that there is only one bed to sleep in the rooms on the upper floors, and you can’t even move around, you can know how big the gap is.
Plus, the communal living spaces here are much larger than above.
Standing on the stairs and looking inside, Su Mo even saw a glass-enclosed greenhouse with many green plants growing inside.
However, it is a pity that with the large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables imported into Tianyuan Territory, the greenhouse here should have been abandoned. Many plants look a little withered and yellow, obviously lacking of care.
Continue down to the seventeenth floor.
The space here has become larger, and there are not even separate residents’ rooms.
To Su Mo’s surprise, in the center of this space, he actually saw a ‘live’ nuclear power plant!
The volume is about the size of a van, and it is making a rattling sound, continuously outputting energy and transmitting it to various positions in the shelter.
“This is the source of energy for the shelter, right?” Su Mo said excitedly.
Liehu nodded.
“Yes, the entire shelter’s energy supply comes from this machine.”
“How long can it last. Keke, I mean, can this thing be used directly, without any restrictions?”
“No restrictions?”
Lie The tiger’s head shook like a splashing drum.
“Of course there are restrictions. Nuclear power plants need special fuel rods to start. Fuel rods need to be bought from the Foundation’s merchant ships, or bought from the company’s team.” “What, do you need fuel rods?” Su Mo was
quite
surprised road.
If it is a serious nuclear fusion reactor, it only needs ordinary sea water and some light nuclei to achieve it.
Otherwise, how could it be called “inexhaustible, inexhaustible” clean energy.
But if special fuel rods are needed, isn’t this nuclear generator
the same as the nuclear generator on the Red Spider, and it still hasn’t gotten rid of the manufacturer’s restrictions.
“Yes, a fuel rod can be used for one year. In the past, when the Foundation’s merchant ships came, this was the best-selling and most sought-after item. Every shelter needs to rely on fuel rods to maintain underground energy supply.”
Liehu sighed.
“It’s a pity that I didn’t take it seriously when the Foundation merchant ship came last time. I only grabbed two. If I can’t find a new replenishment channel next year, I’m afraid the flat beach shelter will really be abandoned like the red core.”
two?
There was a hint of playfulness on Su Mo’s face.
However, he did not choose to continue asking, after all, this is the ultimate secret of every shelter.
The Liehu guy may have hidden some, but in order to prevent someone from “borrowing”, the two excuses are really good.
“It’s nothing fancy, and if you’re interested, I can sell you one. But you have to find fuel rods yourself.” “Forget it,
without fuel rods, it’s a scrap.”
Su Mo shook his head and rejected the hunting tiger’s proposal.
If it is true as he said, the operation of this thing needs fuel rods to function.
It would be pointless to buy it back.
After all, there is still an industrial core capable of manufacturing nuclear power plants in the research institute.
And after the seventeenth floor, the following eighteenth, nineteenth, and twenty floors.
The third floor is the territory of the Pingtan Army.
“The Pingtan Army currently has a total of 9,300 people. Including those guards who are responsible for the safety of the shelter, there are a total of 11,000 people, a ratio of almost six to one. In the entire Qinggang City… it is considered Relatively medium proportion.”
Following Liehu, he visited Pingtan’s armed forces reserve.
Su Mo’s eyes showed thinking, and he couldn’t help but have a better understanding of the strength of the Blue Star Gopher.
There are only over 60,000 residents in Pingtan Shelter, but there are more than 10,000 armed personnel.
And this ratio is actually not ranked high in Qinggang City.
Doesn’t that mean that there is a sanctuary that is more militaristic than tiger hunting and supports more troops?
Look at the information on the world chat.
Many players have also taken advantage of the metal sigh disaster to attack the sanctuary of those gophers.
Now that I think about it, it’s a ridiculous idea.
The Tianyuan Territory must be regarded as a relatively large gathering place among Earth players, but there are only a thousand soldiers that can really be used.
Even if this kind of people caught them off guard, it would be difficult to defeat a medium-sized shelter head-on.
After all, although human players have the attribute bonus of the game panel, they have never experienced this kind of life-and-death struggle.
In particular, fighting with cold weapons relies on the word ‘courage’.
No matter how poor the quality of Gopher Guy’s army is, it has experienced battles both large and small.
Three hit one, can you always fight?
If you really want to start a war, the players will have no chance of winning if the number of people falls three times or more than the opponent.
“You have too few soldiers. Once a war breaks out, it will be difficult to keep such a large territory.”
The two came to the 21st floor, which is the last floor of Pingtan Shelter.
Seeing that Su Mo was still in deep thought, Liehu smiled.
“Are you considering expanding your personnel? I can lend you some well-trained flatland troops and let them help you train soldiers.” “
According to past experience, it takes about half a year to train them to a combat-ready level.”
Su Mo He looked at Liehu in surprise.
Unexpectedly, before he brought up the matter of borrowing someone, Liehu would speak up first.
“How many people to borrow?”
Liehu stretched out his right hand and compared two fingers.
“Two hundred?”
“Two hundred is not enough, at least two thousand will start!”
Liehu said with a happy expression, and even wanted to add some more to this number.
For the current Pingtan shelter, there is actually a lot of pressure to supply so many soldiers.
Especially after several wars, Liehu has discovered the problems of the Pingtan Army.
Too many veterans and too few recruits.
Those veterans who fought with him more than ten years ago are now in their forties.
Not to mention the serious decline in combat effectiveness, the key is still standing in the position of soldiers, which prevents him from continuing to expand the army.
Just like the previous managers, let’s start a fight to the end to consume these people, Liehu can’t do this kind of thing.
After all, these are his comrades, brothers who died on the battlefield.
But continue to support these people. Sooner or later, the fighting power of the Pingtan Army will fall to the bottom and usher in a miserable defeat.
So it’s better to lend these veterans out, not only need to be responsible for their supplies, but also earn a favor, the most important thing is to expand the position and recruit a group of recruits to supplement the combat power.
“Are you sure they will be willing?”
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, a little moved.
Although he had already guessed that Liehu would definitely not lend out his immediate combat power, it must be those aged veterans.
But that’s exactly what he wanted.
The current Tianyuan Territory does not have the ability to train newcomers.
It just needs a group of experienced veterans to supplement the background and create a complete soldier training mechanism.
In addition, although these two thousand people are already old, their combat effectiveness cannot be ignored.
At least under reasonable command, the combat power that can be displayed must be stronger than the current guards.
It would be great news if these people could be permanently borrowed!
“A soldier’s job is to follow orders, and believe me, they might have refused to live on the ground before, but now.”
Liehu smiled, first pointed to the ground, and then pointed in the direction of Gua Debao.
During this time, the alliance garrison at the bunker has changed four batches.
Almost every group of people who came back was a little bit lingering, always wondering when it would be their turn to be on duty again.
“If it wasn’t for my restrictions, I’m afraid they couldn’t help but want to go to the ground to see.” “
That’s good, you have to choose some obedient ones for me.”
“Don’t worry, I don’t have thorns under my hand!”
Liehu smiled comfortably, and then remembered the main purpose of today, and said quickly:
“Speaking of which, I plan to follow that kid Kevin and build a sub-base behind the security wall, what do you think?”
“Sub-base? Then you don’t plan to take care of the western suburbs?”
“Never mind, this place is too big and dilapidated, even cleaning up the ruins will take a lot of effort.”
Liehu said impatiently.
And he picked up a report from his desk and handed it over, which showed the latest material expenditure.
Su Mo glanced at it casually, and immediately understood why he gave up.
The Flat Beach Shelter is different from the Horsens Shelter in that it did not deliberately store reconstruction materials in the past tens or hundreds of years.
The people here never thought of living on the ground from the beginning to the end.
In other words, people who have this idea are not crazy enough to rebuild civilization above the shelter.
The infrastructure construction in the recent period has all used the strategic materials at the bottom of the Pingtan shelter.
It’s okay if there are foundation merchant ships or passing caravans to supplement.
But given the uncertainty of the future, it’s no wonder Liehu thinks so.
