Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

10 seconds.

It passed while Su Wu waited with bated breath.

As the countdown returned to zero.

In the center of the space launch site, the rocket engine began to ignite.

The blazing flames burned and sprayed at the bottom of the rocket, generating huge thrust.

The huge rocket was slowly pushed up.

"Successfully separated from the launch pad."

"Normal acceleration."

"Current speed 100km/h200km/h"

On the screen in front of the console.

The scene captured by the rocket's external camera was displayed in real time.

Around the space launch site, there were temporary warehouses, bunkers, and hills piled up with excavated earth and stone waste.

Gradually, as the rocket rose, they were all included in the lens.

Then they slowly shrank.

30 seconds after launch.

The rocket accelerated to 400 kilometers per hour.

It reached an altitude of 2,000 meters above the ground.

The buildings on the surface of the farmyard had become tiny in the lens.

As far as the eye could see.

All were mountains and plains covered with ice and snow.

The location where the urban area of ​​Jianghe City used to be.

Because all the buildings and ruins have been demolished and transported away.

Now it has been hidden under a snow-white ice field, and no trace of its existence can be found.

"Unconsciously."

"Here in Jianghe City, only farmyards still have large areas of surface buildings."

First time at this height.

Overlooking Jianghe City after the end of the world.

Looking at the land where there is almost no trace of civilization.

Then think of more than half a year ago, when I just came to Jianghe City.

In the entire Jianghe City, it can be called a remote farmyard.

For a moment, Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little bit of the sea and the world have changed.

In this short period of time.

The once glorious human civilization has already shown signs of entering a dead end.

The huge rocket continued to accelerate into the sky.

48 seconds.

At an altitude of 5,000 meters above the ground.

The view has been blocked by a gray cloud, and no ground situation can be seen.

In the entire lens, there is only the rolling gray fog.

This thick layer of clouds.

Since the beginning of the end of the world and the global fire.

It has been hovering above the heads of all humans.

No matter it is high temperature, heavy rain, or the current severe cold.

It has never dissipated.

It is like a symbol of the end of the world.

1 minute and 33 seconds.

The rocket accelerated to 2,800 kilometers per hour.

22 kilometers from the ground.

At this altitude, it has gotten rid of the obstruction of the clouds.

You can even see the arc of the planet at the edge of the camera.

And it was at this time.

The communication between the control center and the rocket was suddenly disturbed inexplicably.

The picture of the monitoring camera showed unstable fluctuations.

The rocket's engine.

It is no longer running smoothly as it did at the beginning.

"Warning, unknown interference detected."

"Engine No. 7 has been offline."

"The rocket's flight direction is deviated by 1.2 degrees."

"Start to use the backup plan."

"Auxiliary thrusters turned on."

The rocket, which was originally flying stably, seemed to have entered a turbulent airflow.

The whole body was shaking with a great amplitude.

It seemed that there was a possibility of complete loss of control at any time.

A few seconds later.

A main engine completely stopped working.

The artificial intelligence that monitors the operation of the rocket at all times.

It was forced to activate the alternative plan.

The output power of other rocket engines was increased to allow them to counter interference with higher thrust.

The control center on the underground floor.

Su Wu couldn't help but sit up straight.

His expression was a little solemn.

This situation was not expected before.

In theory, the environment at that altitude should not be so bad.

The heart-wrenching shaking lasted for nearly a minute.

Fortunately, the original design of the rocket left enough room for unexpected situations. The structure itself is also strong enough.

After stumbling.

Finally, it reached the predetermined altitude of 70 kilometers.

The huge rocket began to split into two.

The rear half, which burned most of the fuel, began to slow down and readjust its direction.

The front end continued to accelerate.

It continued to rush straight towards a speed of 10,000 kilometers per hour.

"The rocket separated successfully."

"The first-stage rocket began to slow down and return."

"The second-stage rocket successfully entered the low-Earth orbit."

"Continue to accelerate."

"The flight trajectory has been corrected."

"The current status is normal."

The artificial intelligence lifted the alarm.

A stable connection with the rocket entering space was reestablished.

On the screen in front of Su Wu.

The picture was divided into two.

The left side showed the first-stage rocket that began to return, which was the lower half that occupied most of the rocket's volume.

The right side showed the second-stage rocket that was still climbing upwards, carrying the Eden satellite.

At this stage.

Basically, it can be confirmed that the launch has been successful for the most part.

At the same time.

At the moment when the rocket successfully separated.

The movement it caused in the high altitude of the earth.

It also really attracted the attention of major forces around the world.

They traced the flight trajectory of the rocket.

The original origin was locked.

Begin to set your sights on the location of Jianghe City.

Jianghe City, and even the Southeast Alliance where it is located.

For the first time, it received unprecedented attention from the entire world.

Zhenhai City.

Office of the Speaker of the United Parliament.

Ping Yuhan received a communication from the top federal officials.

"Assistant Kahn, long time no see."

Since being submerged by the tsunami, a large number of wealthy people and even high-ranking government officials have taken the lead in fleeing a huge amount of strategic materials and fled deep inland.

Zhenhai City’s comprehensive strength has been greatly reduced.

It has been a long time since I received a greeting from a senior federal official.

Although no one said it explicitly, Ping Yuhan, as well as many councilors and elites in Zhenhai City, knew it in their hearts.

They have been abandoned by the Federation and downgraded to one of the many ordinary cities in Eastern Continent.

"Jianghe City? It is a member of our alliance."

"Scientific research capabilities and medical technology are both strong."

"The industrial system is also very complete."

Ping Yuhan's tone was calm, and he simply responded with a few words about the situation in Jianghe City following the other party's inquiry.

Then he listened quietly for a while.

nodded.

"I will pass on your congratulations on your behalf."

"Your proposal will also be forwarded to them."

End the call.

Ping Yuhan opened his office computer to see the latest information about Jianghe City.

Up there.

The photos of the space launch site on the surface of the farmyard are impressively listed.

Su Wu did not deliberately keep the rocket launch secret.

A lot of news can be found on his internet.

And therefore.

The intelligence department of Zhenhai City knew early that Su Wu would conduct the first rocket launch today.

But, no one among them could think of it.

This first launch was actually successful.

And it seems that they are still heading straight for the most difficult synchronous orbit.

Stare at the huge rocket standing quietly in the photo.

After quite a while.

Ping Yuhan sighed softly.

"I still underestimate them."

Farmhouse, control center on the underground floor.

Su Wu was still watching the rocket launch with concentration.

8 minutes and 12 seconds after the rocket took off.

The return first stage rocket.

Appeared in the sky above the farmyard.

Then it slowly slowed down and stopped steadily at the launch site.

This represents the successful completion of the recycling phase.

From now on Su Wu.

It will be possible to utilize this first-stage rocket.

Repeat for multiple shots.

The cost is a fraction of the first launch.

And the other side.

The second stage rocket carrying the Eden satellite.

Start by entering low-Earth orbit 160 kilometers above the ground.

to enter a synchronous orbit 35,000 kilometers above the earth's surface.

The whole process takes about two to three hours.

during this time.

The Eden satellite inside the second stage rocket.

Was woken up and entered the pre-boot state in advance.

Its internal radar scanning component begins to automatically detect the surrounding environment.

And send the data back to the control center in the farmyard.

Su Wu thus obtained information from the space level for the first time.

from this information.

He discovered satellites in low Earth orbit.

Most appear to be out of service or damaged.

The number that is still running normally is less than 30% of the total.

This is obviously not normal data.

It represents those satellites, which may have suffered severe blows.

"It turns out to be post-apocalyptic space."

"It's not safe either."

Realize this.

Su Wu didn't seem surprised to find out.

I'm just glad that I didn't insist on developing satellites by myself before.

I chose to use survival points to upgrade.

This can at least ensure that satellites sent into space have sufficient self-protection capabilities.

Accidents may not occur anytime and anywhere.

Two and a half hours later.

The Eden satellite breaks free from the second stage of the rocket.

Arriving at the scheduled synchronous orbit.

Begin to unfold your true posture.

It is different from traditional rectangular or cylindrical satellites.

The unfolding satellite of Eden.

It consists of multiple rings of different sizes that rotate at a constant speed all the time, and 1,000 square meters of flexible solar panels that can be gathered and spread out at any time.

From a distance, it looks like a space city with huge sails on both sides.

"Eden is deployed."

"Start first performance test."

"Ninety-seven percent of current energy reserves remain."

"The test is expected to consume ninety-five percent of the energy."

Accompanied by a series of event prompts.

It was refreshed on the screen in front of Su Wu.

Located in geosynchronous orbit 35,000 kilometers away.

The unfolded Eden Satellite began to glow with white light on its surface.

The light began to be very weak.

Then it gradually intensified, covering the original color of the satellite.

Then it gradually expanded again.

A ball of pure white light formed.

"Deployment of energy shield successful.

"Stable energy supply detected."

"Ready to start the next phase of testing."

The pure white light group fluctuated.

Then, like water, the main body rotates quietly along the satellite.

Flowing to the huge solar sail panels opened on both sides.

After a few seconds.

The dark sail panels were completely rendered into a pair of pure white light wings.

Endless light bloomed in space.

At that moment.

The side of the earth facing the Eden satellite.

As long as there is no snow and the cloud layer is slightly thin.

You can see the traces left by it.

That trace.

It is like the only shining star hanging in the dark sky.

"The ultimate carrying capacity is normal."

"It has been confirmed that it has the ability to activate space-based weapons to strike."

"The test is over."

The huge light wings in space continued to unfold for 10 seconds.

Then gradually dimmed.

The original black appearance of the solar panel was restored.

At the same time.

A brand new communication network.

Begins to spread silently to Dongzhou and its nearby oceans.

From this moment on.

All shelters with signal receiving devices in the entire Dongzhou.

Will be able to connect to the Internet with the help of the Eden satellite.

Ordinary people in such shelters, or after walking out of the shelter.

They will also be able to use the satellite network at will.

Farmyard, underground control center.

Su Wu was a little curious.

Experiencing the functions of the Eden Satellite.

He found that the network transmission speed of the Eden Satellite was not lower than that of the communication signal tower.

It just didn't have the function of the latter to penetrate the ground.

As for the coverage, it was even better than the latter.

"Although it only supports 100 million people to surf the Internet at the same time."

"But this normal standard is to browse videos smoothly."

"If the speed of a single person is slightly limited."

"It should not be a problem to meet the Internet needs of more than 4 billion people in Dongzhou."

He took a look at the background data.

Within just ten minutes after the satellite network was opened.

Hundreds of thousands of people had already entered his Internet through the Eden Satellite.

It can be foreseen.

When the news spreads.

At the latest tonight, there should be a peak in the number of visitors.

However, by then.

I think even in the most extreme case.

The number of people connected to the Internet will not reach the 4 billion envisioned by Su Wu.

Population reduction under various disasters in the end of the world, loss of mobile phones, blockade of shelters, etc.

Various reasons will greatly restrict ordinary people from using the Eden Satellite to connect to the Internet.

It is already quite good if one-tenth of the population of the entire East Continent before the end of the world can be online in the end.

"After the network is rolled out."

"The most important thing is still to promote the game and harvest spirituality."

"Consider it from this aspect."

"While limiting the speed of a single person, you can add a traffic package dedicated to the game."

"Let ordinary people enjoy the maximum speed when downloading games."

"Reduce their entry cost."

"Then open a store."

"Allow players to cash out the game coins in their hands."

"Ensure that they have the motivation to continue to enter the game."

In the environment of lack of work in the end of the world.

As long as the game coins can be exchanged for materials that can sustain life.

There is no need to worry about them not playing games.

In fact, this is equivalent to providing them with a job in disguise.

It's just how to cash out the game coins in their hands.

It's a difficult problem.

After thinking for a long time.

Su Wu finally set his sights on the bio-printer.

"We can provide high-end medical services to those wealthy shelter executives."

"As long as you spend a certain amount of game coins."

"You can enjoy medical services including curing terminal illnesses such as cancer here in Jianghe City."

"If you are willing to pay enough game coins."

"It is not impossible to send a biplane helicopter to pick up and drop off patients in person, and extend the patient's life span, etc."

This kind of external high-end medical service is bound to be very expensive.

After all, not long ago, Yu'an City used the resources of the entire province.

Only in exchange for a dozen places for treatment and 20 years of life extension.

If Su Wu sets the price too low, it will be difficult to explain to the other side.
