Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

But despite this.

Its existence still has a very significant meaning.

It means that Su Wu has the ability to double the food production and quickly obtain various other plant materials when necessary.

"Now the small forest in our house can grow quickly."

Chen Yue sat in front of the laboratory table, holding her cheek with one hand.

She looked at the reagent protected by the transparent constant temperature box in front of her with expectant eyes.

It was as if she saw a dense forest.

That cute look made Su Wu want to reach out and pinch her face.

After taking a screenshot of this picture and saving it calmly.

Su Wu then directed Chen Yue, who was far away in the biological laboratory on the 5th floor underground, to let her turn the camera to another research result.

Several rice plants that have sprouted.

Compared with the first generation of plant growth agents.

These high-yield rice seeds are more important to Su Wu's shelter.

It represents eternal abundance and abundance.

"Since the test is fine."

"Let's try to plant some in the hydroponic farm on the first floor underground."

"Then, we can take this opportunity to celebrate."

"Give everyone a day off tomorrow."

Although rice seeds have been developed.

But Su Wu doesn't have any extra space to promote it on a large scale.

The area outside the core area of ​​the entire farmyard.

At this moment, it has been converted into collective dormitories and large construction sites.

It is used to accommodate the growing number of workers, which has exceeded the order of one million.

And the celebration is not Su Wu's random thought.

It comes from a report and suggestion submitted by artificial intelligence.

For a long time, it has been limited by the narrow underground space, poor food and spiritual entertainment, and almost endless labor.

Even if Su Wu works in shifts.

Try to keep everyone's working hours at about 8 hours a day.

It is still inevitable that many negative emotions have accumulated in people's hearts.

At this time, a national festival event is needed.

To dilute the impact of negative emotions.

As Su Wu made a decision.

Including farmyards and all affiliated shelters.

Relevant changes began immediately.

Some women and children with weaker labor force were mobilized.

Carrying various decorations distributed, they walked along streets, corridors, squares, and other public places.

Carefully decorated.

Colorful ribbons, simulated flowers, colorful balloons, and crisp wind chimes gradually filled every corner of the shelter residents' field of vision.

A strong festive atmosphere was created.

There are also some people working in food factories.

They received a large amount of high-quality ingredients moved out of the warehouse.

Various rice, flour, frozen meat of pork, beef and mutton, seafood products, and even canned fruit, etc. from before the end of the world.

They were piled up into small mountains.

Let them pre-prepare in advance under the leadership of several experienced chefs.

And more people.

Although they were not assigned to do anything.

But they also heard greetings from artificial intelligence for the first time other than work tasks.

Knowing that in order to celebrate the successful development of rice seeds.

Everyone will have a day off tomorrow.

And get a free food gift.

From then on.

For the first time, cheers like a tsunami appeared in the underground shelters of Jianghe City.

Then this cheering and jubilation.

It quickly spread to the isolated Golden Lion Shelter in Tumen City, the large copper mine shelter in Shanghe City, and the locations of 12 communication signal towers.

Even the farthest communication signal tower located on the seashore 800 kilometers away.

It will all be tomorrow.

Through the Qingkong-class transport drone.

Received special food from Jianghe City for the festival.

On the morning of the second day.

Jianghe City TV broadcast various celebrations in the shelter.

And passed this small joy shared by tens of millions of people to the outside world.

At least 40 to 50 million people.

While hiding in their own narrow or deserted shelters, eating cold dry food that tasted like chewing wax, they watched the celebrations on TV.

Looking at the squares decorated with lights and thousands of people.

The expression was complicated and difficult to understand.

However, whether it was these ordinary TV viewers.

or the residents of the affiliated shelters under Su Wu's rule who were at the festival.

They didn't care much about the reason for the celebration, the successful development of rice seeds.

Many people even thought it was just a random excuse.

Only some people who knew the inside story.

understood that this was actually a piece of news that was enough to completely overturn the previous understanding of Jianghe City, like a thunderclap.

South of Jianghe City.

More than 800 kilometers away.

In a prosperous underground city.

In the meeting hall that was brightly lit and magnificent like a church.

Dozens of men and women of different ages, but all with extraordinary identities, concentrated on watching the TV broadcast from Jianghe City.

After a long time.

Song Hong, the chairman of Changming City, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, looked around at the many city councilors present.

He cleared his cough and asked.

"What do you think of Jianghe City?"

There was silence for a while.

Many members looked at each other calmly, as if guessing each other's position.

In the end, the youngest member, Sun Jiasheng, stood up.

"This is a stable city with a high degree of order."

He came up and gave the characterization.

Order and stability.

It means that the local ruling power has strong and powerful centralized power. Able to fully mobilize every ounce of power under rule.

It's a very high compliment.

"You can see it in the footage they put out."

"Even in a crowded place, there are only a few guards responsible for maintaining order."

"We all know that once the civilians at the bottom gather enough numbers."

"There will always be some extreme behavior, intentionally or unintentionally."

"Without strong restraint, it can easily turn into riots."

"But there are no signs of that in their case."

"Everyone can exercise basic restraint."

"This shows that they are probably accustomed to observing a highly strict order on weekdays."

"And this order is relatively fair, or the punishment after violation is extremely severe."

"This allows them to rely on inertia to maintain restraint even in a short-term uncontrolled environment."

"Plus, a lot of them have wireless headphones in their ears."

"But looking at their expressions, it doesn't look like they are listening to music or other audio entertainment."

"I have reason to suspect that they use artificial intelligence to assist management."

“The whole city is extremely smart.”

Sun Jiasheng's voice is clear and powerful, and has a strong appeal.

And the content of what he said can be regarded as meaningful.

Many congressmen present could not help but think about it.

after he spoke.

Several more congressmen spoke out one after another.

Some continued to analyze the previously broadcast TV content, while others came up with some exclusive information.

It's obvious.

before this meeting.

Many council members have already noticed Jianghe City, a once remote small city. And carefully collected relevant information.

Through the instructions of these people.

Many people who knew nothing beforehand also had a clear positioning of Jianghe City.

That is a city with top-notch artificial intelligence, sophisticated electronic manufacturing, and abundant martial arts.

Although no matter which area, it is not comparable in scale to a real provincial capital city.

But in terms of expertise.

But it is not inferior, and even exceeds that of provincial capital cities.

Of course, if that's all.

Jianghe City can only be regarded as half a provincial capital city at most.

It has basically nothing to do with Changming City, which is nearly a thousand kilometers away.

But the crux of the matter lies in the news it released today.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

Announced the successful development of staple food seeds.

This matter is very serious and is closely related to the future of Changming City.

"Everyone should know the specific situation."

"The other party's scientific research strength is very strong, and its military strength is not weak."

"There is no way to force them like we do to some ordinary cities."

"In addition, the other party has proven through actions that it has the ability to stably rule tens of millions of people."

“It has the qualifications to become a super city.”

"So I propose to establish formal diplomatic relations with it."

"And proposed to the alliance to invite Jianghe City to become our new partner."

Song Hong, who was sitting on the upper hand, looked quite serious.

Invite a new mega city to join the alliance.

Both important and unimportant to everyone here.

It's important because.

That means they officially recognize that the other party is qualified to be on an equal footing with Changming City as a whole.

As an individual in Changming City.

If the will of the entire Changming City cannot be unified when speaking out in the future.

Then when they face Jianghe City, they will naturally be one step lower.

It's not important because this kind of recognition is just a favor without any expense.

Except that some of them may lose face in the future.

Basically, it will not affect your vital interests.

Seeing Song Hong, the speaker, initiated the vote.

The other 56 city councilors present.

After discussing quietly for a while.

They also began to exercise their right to vote.

Agree, approve, oppose——

In the end, the proposal was approved with a ratio of 36:20.

"Then, next."

"The mission of being an envoy to Jianghe City will be left to Councilor Sun Jiasheng."

Song Hong looked at the congressman he named as the envoy with a slightly emotional look.

It feels like witnessing history.

Knowing that once he leaves, there will most likely be a new super city in the future.

Admission joins their circle of rights.

In turn, it is likely to affect the situation in the entire Dongzhou.

They need to prepare for this in advance.

November 21st.

A huge biplane helicopter.

Slowly landed in a temporarily cleared open space near the Jingyuan Shelter in Jianghe City.

Sun Jiasheng, wearing an exoskeleton armor, led his staff.

Climb aboard one of the snowmobiles responsible for greeting you.

Enter the interior of the Jingyuan Shelter.

"I didn't expect that your environment looks so simple."

"There is no atmosphere of a superpower at all."

"It's just like an ordinary large shelter."

Inside the shelter, Sun Jiasheng opened his mask and carefully observed the scene along the way.

He couldn't help but sigh.

"This is originally a large shelter."

"It's just temporarily serving as the external reception center for the entire Jianghe City."

The Jianghe City personnel in charge of accompanying him looked a little embarrassed.

It's hard to judge whether this is a mockery or praise.

"I'm presumptuous."

Noticing that the expression of the accompanying personnel was quite stiff.

Sun Jiasheng realized that he seemed to have said something wrong.

He really didn't mean it.

It was purely because he had regarded Jianghe City as an equal force, and subconsciously thought that the layout of Jingyuan Shelter was not worthy of Jianghe City's status.

But wrong is wrong.

He could only bow his head to apologize.

It took a few minutes to reach the meeting room on the second floor underground of the shelter.

Here, Sun Jiasheng saw Su Wu's holographic projection.

Skip the greeting process.

Sun Jiasheng directly extended an invitation.

"Southeast Alliance."

Su Wu repeated, feeling very unfamiliar with the name.

"This is not a formal organization."

"It's the southeast region, with several cities with a population of over 10 million."

"A platform for mutual communication established after the end of the world."

"Neither side has too many rights and obligations."

Sun Jiasheng explained.

Don't look at him in the Changming City Council, he seems to be inconspicuous.

But no matter what, he is one of the top leaders of a super city with a population of tens of millions.

Many secret messages are no longer secrets to him.

Therefore, for the Southeast Alliance.

He knows everything.

"In that case."

"Of course."

Su Wu understood instantly that this is actually a chat group.

In essence.

It is similar to the private groups in Jianghe City that Su Wu had joined in the past.

The identities of the most group members are different, all from the top of the super city.

Su Wu is not opposed to this kind of thing.

Even if no results are reached in the end.

Just the information revealed during the communication that only people at their level would know.

It was worth the trip.

"In addition, we came here this time."

"Another purpose is to purchase a batch of rice seeds."

"The original seeds you researched."

"It can be regarded as the savior of our Dongzhou."

The staple food seeds in this world are basically all monopolized by several agricultural companies located in the federal capital of North America.

It was okay in peacetime, and you could buy them whenever you wanted.

After entering the end of the world, almost all intercontinental transportation routes were cut off.

It is unknown how many times more difficult it is to buy seeds.

However, although it is exaggerated.

But in fact, staple food seeds are not a necessity for Sun Jiasheng and others.

Without the original seeds, the yield is getting lower and lower.

At most, the food quality of the original middle-class families will drop by several levels.

It will not affect people like Sun Jiasheng who are at the top of power.

It will not starve to death the lower-class people who can't afford the staple food.
