My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 965: Antebellum heritage, an industrial area behind a high wall!
Chapter 968 Pre-war legacy, an industrial area behind a high wall!
"Good afternoon, dear residents of Clear Harbor Refuge, I am your announcer, Rattiwill."
"It is still foggy in Qinggang City today, and it will take many days before we welcome the sunshine. But the difference is that a group of special guests will arrive at the shelter today!"
"That's right, the managers of our other shelters in Qinggang City, they will come to Qinggang Sanctuary to visit our industrial area, planting area, and living area to feel that we have completely come out of the ground good life."
"Now issue the order of the manager: For your personal safety, all residents and friends are strictly prohibited from talking with the guests alone, making transactions with the guests, and collecting money from the guests"
North Industrial Zone, Qinggang City.
The miniature loudspeaker kept echoing at the height of the chaotic ground, and a sonorous broadcast sound came from it.
Different from other gopher shelters, tens of thousands of people are crowded in small dark rooms, day after day, year after year, even if they die, it is difficult to breathe a few mouthfuls of fresh air from the ground Air.
The development of Clear Harbor Refuge is obviously much more advanced.
Not only did they relocate from the ground, but they also occupied the largest and best-preserved industrial area in Qinggang City, which was one-tenth the size of the entire city.
Moreover, the Clear Harbor Refuge does not restrict the personal freedom of each resident in an absolute sense.
In addition to not being able to go to the industrial area, everyone can freely come to the ground to move around in the designated area and live an enviable fairy life.
As the reminder sound played over and over again in the speaker, the time gradually came to twelve o'clock noon.
It was also from here that under the nearly 20-meter-high electric fence at the edge of the industrial area, people began to appear one after another.
"Damn it, the high wall here has been expanded to this point, it's not suitable for a person!"
Walking in through the open door under the high wall, the man wrapped in a gray-yellow robe turned his head and looked into the distance, cursing inwardly.
I still remember that he came here eight years ago. There was only a wall about three meters on the edge of the industrial area.
The material of the walls is very low-quality, most of which are mixed construction waste recovered from the ruins of the city.
There are many mottled handprints and footprints on the cement left in the gaps of the waste. At first glance, it looks like graffiti drawn by children, which is ridiculous.
But now.
Looking at this giant wall that could not be seen to the side, it was seven stories high, Bernie swallowed, and an unreasonable fear rose in his heart.
Monster, pure monster!
Could it be that the Clear Harbor Refuge wants to build this place into a steel fortress?
Don't they plan to stay underground anymore, do they want to live on the surface?
Crazy.
Given the evaluation in his heart, Bernie turned his head forcibly, suppressing the fear of giants in his heart.
For the Blue Star humans living in the post-war era, especially for the gophers, it is actually unacceptable to live on the ground.
From the beginning of birth, they are in the dark underground.
Grow up there, and grow old there.
Many people naturally have unreasonable fear of the ground, just like human beings always have awe of the deep sea.
They only heard that in the pre-war era, humans lived on the ground, in these steel jungles.
At that time, there were no terrifying radiation mutant beasts, mutants, nor predators or wanderers with ulterior motives.
The people live and work in peace and contentment, enjoy family happiness, and breathe fresh air to their heart's content.
Moreover, there was no war that could break out at any time in that era.
It's not like now, as long as you go to the ground, you have to be on the lookout for any danger coming nearby.
While thinking, Bernie walked inside after leaving the terrifying high wall.
Fortunately, after arriving inside, everything went back to normal immediately.
The well-proportioned factory buildings are distributed on both sides of the main street, and the two-wheeled industrial robots full of technological sense are busy walking through the crowd.
The guards in charge of patrolling stand in the high sentry box tower, overlooking everything below.
The residents of Qinggang City seem to have gotten used to life on the ground, walking around the streets casually.
Either enter a small shop with a signboard, or deliver the packaged materials to the designated location.
Different from the pre-war era where all work was taken over by the brain, humans only need to sit in front of the terminal to check the results.
The industrial area of Clear Harbor Refuge forms a unique tacit understanding.
Humans and robots have different jobs, and they do not interfere with each other.
"Has it developed to this point?"
Bernie showed an uncontrollable surprised expression on his face.
This development progress.
Is it the result of eight years of silent work in the Clear Harbor Refuge? !
This is too exaggerated.
They secretly created such a large-scale industrial area behind the high wall.
No wonder the war between Flat Beach Refuge and Sunny Harbor Refuge was stopped by a simple threat that night.
"Honorable Flamingo Refuge Administrator, Mr. Bernie, welcome to our expedition meeting at Clear Harbor Refuge."
Go all the way inward, and finally come under another wall.
Before Bernie could react from his stupefaction, a blond man walked into the open doorway below.
"Remember the last time you came here, or should I receive you?"
"Minister Lewis?"
"Fortunately, it seems that you haven't forgotten me." The blond man showed a thankful yet polite smile.
"This is just our peripheral industrial area. If you want to visit, I will assign someone to take you around after the meeting is over. Today our meeting is held at the small harbor island."
"Small island?"
"Here we are, the first line of defense of Sunshine Harbor Refuge is ahead, the Lightning Barrier!"
Passing through the complex city ruins all the way, the majestic defense line of the giant wall finally came into view of four figures wearing power armor.
Standing in the middle, Su Mo showed a surprised expression on his face.
It turned out to be such an ancient line of defense?
In the impression of the future ruins, only some gathering places with small terrain will adopt this method of defense to ensure the safety of the residents inside.
Large gathering places will not invest in this area at all, and confine their outward development routes to one-acre three-point land.
This Sunny Harbor Refuge
“The original intention of building this lightning wall is not actually for the safety of residents, but to save supplies.”
Seemingly seeing Su Mo's doubts, the tall man in power armor walking beside him made a sound.
“In Blue Star, you will encounter radiation beast riots every few seasons. They will lose their minds and generally attack the buildings left by humans on the ground. You can see the remaining ruins in the city, most of them are It’s what they left behind.”
"If Sunshine Harbor Refuge wants to develop an industrial zone on the ground, it must reduce the losses caused by riots."
"Of course, changing the place now may be unnecessary."
Mature technology has indeed changed human life.
From the moment starch protein technology went into mass production, farming has become a thing of the past in a sense.
With sufficient energy supply, human beings only need to continue to develop industries to quickly restore the glory of the heyday.
Therefore, even if it costs a little more manpower and materials.
As long as the industrial area can be protected, it means that the food rations have been kept.
The four continued to move forward, about a hundred meters, and finally reached the outermost edge of the Qinggang shelter.
In front of the open alloy gate, there are twelve militiamen wearing exoskeleton armor standing guard on duty.
Seeing the Power Armor approaching from a distance, the leader leader showed a trace of awe on his face, and hurriedly greeted him.
"The honored guests stop, you must touch all weapons when entering the Sunshine Harbor Refuge, and the power armor is also there"
Before he finished speaking, the man in the black power armor silently tapped the left side of the armor.
Hoo.
A blue projection shot out, shining on the wall, and a hollow gold coin pattern appeared.
It was as if someone had strangled his throat. The second half of the captain's words got stuck in his throat, and he could only whimper in embarrassment.
"It turns out to be the foundation's lord, please come in."
A local snake shelter in a port city is really not worth mentioning in front of the Behemoth Foundation.
Even though these people may only be members of the branch of the foundation, as long as they are willing to use this logo, it means that they are attending the event as a foundation.
Even if you didn't invite the other party, how dare you stop this group of people?
The captain had a bitter face, and hurriedly beckoned people to make way for the inner passage.
However, to his surprise, the obviously more advanced man in the red and black close-fitting power armor did not leave immediately.
I saw him take two steps, and took out a light green invitation letter from the armor.
"You are."
The invitation letters sent out are divided into four types: purple, red, yellow, and green, depending on the strength and scale of the shelter.
Purple represents that the strength has entered the top five in Qinggang City.
Green means that you are not yet popular, or you have not participated in real battles to test your strength.
"Tianyuan Refuge"
“Hmm”
Didn't hear the name in his head, the captain secretly complained to the person who sent the invitation letter, and then handed the letter back with a smile.
"You and the adults of the Foundation?"
"Together, Tianyuan Refuge is the gathering place for our F-level contract signings." The man in the power armor said solemnly.
"Come in, please come in!"
There was no invitation letter to put this group of people in before, and perhaps it is possible to bear the responsibility of being blamed.
But now, with the invitation letter, there is nothing left.
Su Mo nodded and took the invitation letter and put it into the battle armor, and the four of them walked in along the passage.
"This industrial area in Qinggang City was originally the property of Hualing Heavy Industry Company, which stored several medium and large industrial cores, and mainly exported medium and large high-tech equipment to other directions around the world. Later, due to the sudden outbreak of war Because of this, Hualing Heavy Industry failed to transfer the industrial core out immediately, so it was cheaper for the Qinggang Refuge that was later taken over."
"Of course, they have spent a lot of money to repair these industrial cores and gather enough energy to use them."
The Lightning Barrier separated the entire Qinggang City into two halves.
Once inside the high wall, it seems to have come to another world.
The outside is the ruins of the city, and the inside is the nascent civilization.
"Industrial core, what is that?"
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Su Mo tried to make his tone sound calmer.
Looking around, this industrial area is indeed more shocking.
Planning determines the upper limit of industry.
Take the currently unopenable chip building in the territory as an example. These industrial plants more than ten meters high, like a square box, can feel the technology contained in them just by looking at the outside.
"Industrial core is a highly integrated manufacturing equipment."
"His internal storage is massive manufacturing data, and it is equipped with the top manufacturing concepts of the pre-war era."
"Small-sized industrial cores only have manufacturing capabilities, and the corresponding materials can be input to automatically produce products without interruption, while medium-sized and above industrial cores begin to have the ability to grow."
"How should I put it, you can understand it this way. The status of each medium and large industrial core in the industrial system is like that of a baby to human beings. As long as you can provide the materials he needs, the industrial core will be based on its own The internal data is growing iteratively, with more and more functions and a more terrifying manufacturing level."
"A machine that can grow by itself?"
Hearing the first half, Su Mo almost thought that the industrial core was a replica of a modular product.
But in the second half, this thing is a bit scary.
The industrial core can actually use materials to add more functions?
"For example, an industrial core that can manufacture small mobile Axd handhelds, when its manufacturing speed and manufacturing level have reached a certain level, it will automatically generate evolutionary needs and start asking users for materials At this time, if you can provide materials, he will use these materials to create new functional modules by himself, such as adding an external communication function to the handheld."
"All of this comes from his internal data. Small industrial cores have no self-learning ability. Only medium-sized and above industrial cores have the ability to self-absorb and self-learn and iterate."
After listening to the clear and easy-to-understand explanation, Su Mo nodded slightly, and couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the reasons for the outbreak of the Blue Star war.
Good guy.
Uncontrollable, will always be one of the biggest drawbacks of artificial intelligence.
It’s no wonder that some people in Blue Star didn’t trust the development of artificial intelligence. This machine has already iterated except for the ability of self-growth~IndoMTL.com~What if it gets out of control and evolves into a weapon module?
“So this is also one of the reasons why the war broke out, but not the whole reason.”
The man explained and didn't continue.
A group of people walked through the main street of the industrial area in a little silence, and followed the roadside signs all the way inward.
walked for about three kilometers, and arrived in front of a five-meter concrete wall that was obviously shorter.
Along the way, the residents of Clear Harbor Refuge were surprised to see the power armor.
But the guards under the low wall did not respond at all. It seems that they should have received a summons from the previous captain.
"Dignified adults of the Foundation, welcome to visit the Clear Harbor Sanctuary."
"I am the Development Minister of the Outer City, Lewis."
The blond-haired man Lewis came over and bowed his head very humbly.
"Peng Qiu, deputy captain of the Foundation's Qinggang City Operations Department."
The power armor helmet opened, revealing an oriental face full of determination.
