Chapter 277: Threat from the Sky
So, whenever there is a chance.
Anyone who holds game coins will be very happy to spend them with Su Wu.
This kind of transaction.
It seems that Su Wu is at a disadvantage.
In fact, it still serves as a kind of credibility support for game currency.
As long as the overall value of the game currency can be maintained stable.
The benefits that Su Wu could gain from this would definitely far outweigh the investment in transportation costs.
certainly.
Even without considering these.
From the moment each game coin was created, it had actually given Su Wu an equivalent return in advance by returning spirituality.
Just take the act of using supplies to recycle game coins.
It was just Su Wu paying the reward he should have paid.
"The 30 shelters currently occupied."
"The renovation is almost complete now."
"The original high-value materials and most of the population."
"They were gradually transferred back to the farmhouses by caravans."
"Only a small number of people will be left to maintain the basic operation of the refuge, as well as a large amount of fuel to serve as a transit supply station and a refining center for the surrounding mines."
Farmyard control center.
On the holographic map of the north spread out in front of Su Wu.
An irregular line of occupied shelters connected to each other.
It flickers with a light green glow.
One end of it is connected to the north of Jianghe City, and the other end points to a huge city 400 kilometers away.
Steel City.
As the heavy industrial center and steel capital of Dongzhou before the end of the world.
Gangcheng holds a very important position in the entire Dongzhou.
The total population also reached 25 million.
It is a veritable super city.
But after entering the end times.
For unknown reasons, this place was abandoned by Dongzhou and the local rulers.
A large amount of important materials and equipment were gradually transported to the western plateau by rail.
Only more than 20 million local residents and various abandoned factories were left.
And lost the strong rule from the official side.
It also directly led to Steel City becoming a post-apocalyptic city.
The first super city in Dongzhou controlled by local gangs and various business organizations.
"Since no one wants it."
"It should be okay for me to move over there."
Su Wu clicked on the cluster of reconnaissance drones and saw the video shot over the entire steel city.
Looking down from the air.
Although the entire steel city is covered with ice and snow, you can still see endless factory buildings.
There are also piles of metal products and ruins of metal overpasses.
Although to ordinary people, these things that cannot be used for eating or drinking are no different from stones on the roadside.
But in Su Wu's eyes.
But they were huge treasures that made his heart beat fast.
As the largest industrial production center and steel production base in Dongzhou.
Even after a round of plunder and transfer by the federal government, coupled with half a year of chaos and destruction.
According to preliminary estimates, the total amount of high-value recyclable resources such as metals, glass, rubber, chemicals, etc. retained in it still reaches 50 to 80 million tons.
Low-value fuels, concrete, etc. are at least between 1 billion and 1.5 billion tons.
And right around it, there are several large coal and iron mines that have not been fully mined.
As long as we can swallow up the resources of Steel City.
Even if you only swallow a small portion of it.
The military forces in Su Wu's hands, even including caravans and biplane helicopters, will usher in a leap in scale.
Possesses the foundation to spread military force throughout Dongzhou.
"But if we want to take action against Steel City, we have to wait another two days."
"Wait until there are more than 30 caravans gathered."
"And only after deploying 200,000 ordinary spider robots and 3,000 heavy-duty main battle spider robots there can we truly begin the operation."
"After all, even if it was just some local civilian forces at the beginning."
"After inheriting the legacy of Steel City."
"No matter what, there will definitely be some fighting power."
"Without a few large-scale battles, we may not be able to completely defeat it."
The entire steel city covers a very large area.
In the past six months, no real unified force has emerged.
If Su Wu was patient enough.
If you are willing to spend a lot of time and form alliances through negotiations.
It is completely sufficient to achieve the final goal of unified occupation at a very small cost.
It is even possible that during the entire process, there will not even be a need to fight a few decent battles.
But unfortunately, there is the threat of Amethyst.
After all, Su Wu didn't have enough time to play a game of house with these forces in Gangcheng.
He could only choose the simplest and most direct way.
Use absolute force to clear away all obstacles.
Two days.
Gradually passed.
An hour before Su Wu was about to launch the war.
He received a call from Changming City.
"Are you planning to attack Steel City?"
Song Hong, the speaker of Changming City, asked directly after the call was connected.
"You knew that, too?"
Su Wu was slightly surprised.
"Such a big commotion, if you still don't know about it."
"The entire Changming City's foreign intelligence department no longer has any need to exist."
Song Hong smiled bitterly, then paused slightly and spoke seriously.
"The troops you placed on the edge of Steel City frightened a lot of people."
"It is said that there is already a super city directly under Dongzhou."
"I am planning to propose that the Dongzhou government take the lead and organize a team to eliminate you, the restless factor."
Both are super cities.
The connection between Changming City and other cities of the same level in Dongzhou was not completely cut off due to the coming of the end of the world.
Many times, things happen in other super cities.
Before their middle and lower-level management had time to know, Song Hong was able to get the specific information first.
"So what do you think?"
"Are you planning to put pressure on us as well?"
Su Wu asked.
His calm tone did not reveal any thoughts.
"Ever since the Federation and the Eastern Continental governments have essentially abandoned the South."
"We are no longer on the same path as them."
"Otherwise, there would be no Southeastern Conference."
Song Hong shook his head, making his position clear.
Then he hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"Ping Yuhan from Zhenhai City and I both have a say in the Dongzhou government."
"This time, we will try to help you stop it."
"But you also have to show enough strength."
"It's not enough to rely solely on the mechanical troops in Steel City."
For the Dongzhou government, the mechanical army with 200,000 ordinary spider robots as the main force looks a bit intimidating, but its actual killing power is just so-so.
If the strength is not enough, it will naturally not be enough to force the Dongzhou government to make concessions.
They may have done this for various reasons, or simply to save the face of some senior officials.
They would use force against Su Wu.
"Show enough strength."
Su Wu pondered for a moment and nodded.
"I see."
"The current capital of Dongzhou is at the foot of Xuelar Mountain on the Western Wilderness Plateau."
"I will let them feel my sincerity."
Su Wu's words made Song Hong's heart skip a beat.
I had a vague feeling that things might get out of hand.
But he changed his mind and felt relieved.
If it really gets out of hand, it won't do them any harm.
On the contrary, it can vent your anger.
"Also, thank you for your help this time."
"After I capture Steel City, I will—"
Without waiting for Su Wu to speak out the subsequent distribution plan.
Song Hong on the other end of the phone interrupted directly.
"We don't have any interests in Steel City. You can take whatever you want."
"My idea with Zhenhai City is to strengthen the economic exchanges between us."
"Your growth is a good thing for us."
"Perhaps in the future, most of the people in our two cities will still need your help."
Although Song Hong came from a powerful family.
But they still care about the common people at the bottom.
After inferring through certain information channels that in the future the super city itself may not be able to guarantee the safety of the entire city.
He intended to find a way out for the tens of millions of ordinary people in Changming City.
"no problem."
"As members of the same alliance."
"If you need anything in the future, you can come to me."
Su Wu nodded and agreed.
The resources of Steel City are very important to him.
Being able to have a piece of the cake all to himself, and no longer having to worry about retaliation from the Federation.
This is the best ending.
Making some promises for this is nothing.
Ended the call.
Su Wu looked at the holographic projection on the metal platform.
After thinking about it, I switched it to the Dongzhou large map mode.
Then we found the Western Wasteland Plateau and the Sheral Mountains.
The new governing center of the Dongzhou government.
It is also a big secret after the end of the world.
Ordinary people have never heard of it.
However, all of this cannot be hidden from the Eden satellite hanging high in orbit in outer space.
It only needs to look through the clouds and count the final destination of materials in Dongzhou as a whole, especially in the Xihuang Plateau.
The specific coordinates of the new capital of Dongzhou can be determined.
And there are coordinates.
Then we can strike.
"Eden Satellite has entered combat mode."
"Unlock the Tianqing strategic strike system."
"Lock on the target, the capital of Dongzhou."
Verified through a series of complex biological information and spiritual frequencies.
Su Wu entered the order to mobilize the military force of the Garden of Eden satellite on the console.
Half a second later.
Tens of thousands of kilometers above the earth's surface.
Several metal rings on the Eden satellite began to slowly emit a layer of white light.
Then the white light became brighter and brighter.
Until it becomes a star as bright as the moon.
It turned into a dazzling beam of light.
Bombarding the planet straight down.
[The Tianqing strategic strike system has been unlocked.]
[The coordinates have been confirmed.]
[Begin laying the strike track.]
As the beam falls.
An invisible force field barrier began to unfold along the track where the light beam passed.
Forming a nearly vacuum channel.
One end of it is connected to the titanium-black alloy warhead of the Eden satellite, and the other end is connected to the capital of Dongzhou under the Xuelar Mountains.
Looking from a distance.
It was as if a ray of light from heaven was shining on the capital of Dongzhou.
A shrill alarm.
It began to sound throughout the underground shelter in the capital of East Continent.
Countless people looked up, somewhat bewildered, listening to this voice that seemed somewhat familiar, yet actually very strange.
For a moment, I couldn't even react to what it meant.
On the first floor of the shelter, inside the war alarm room.
The group of employees working here were in chaos at this moment.
"What's going on?"
"We have encountered a space-based weapon lock-on from an unknown source."
"It's about to get hit."
"Go confirm the enemy's identity!"
After a dozen seconds of panic.
Finally, someone locked onto the source of the attack using a satellite in space.
This is actually easy to judge.
As long as the angle of the satellite surveillance camera in space is rotated.
You can clearly see the brilliant beam of light that directly connects the earth and a space satellite.
The Eden satellite has a unique shape and structure.
It is also easy to recognize its origin.
"Isn't that a communications satellite?"
"How can you still launch an attack?"
"Look, there's the warhead in the middle of the satellite."
"It is entering the final stages of preparation for acceleration."
Some people were confused, while others were scared out of their wits.
With the specifications of the warhead seen in the camera.
It's hard to say what else might happen if it falls.
They are on the underground floor, so there is no hope of surviving.
"According to the feedback from the testing equipment."
"There is an unknown force field in the beam that is locking onto us."
"Its interior is in a near vacuum state."
At this time, there was another piece of news that could be described as a nightmare.
Discovered by on-duty personnel.
This news meant the intensity of the blow they were about to face.
It is likely to be many times higher than previously estimated.
The entire capital of Dongzhou may not survive.
Serious consequences.
Make more people nervous.
The report had to be submitted to the highest level in Dongzhou as quickly as possible.
And at the same time.
Yi Nengjing, the governor of Dongzhou, received a call from the Federation.
"What are you doing over there?"
"It made such a big noise."
"Even space-based weapons are used."
A minister from the Federal Ministry of Defense asked with an accusing tone.
Even though we are halfway across the world.
However, the federal center has a global satellite reconnaissance network and more advanced monitoring equipment.
The confirmation was faster than that of Dongzhou.
The space-based weapon that is about to be launched.
Possessing more advanced technology than their federation.
It can reduce the kinetic energy loss during the attack to almost zero.
With this posture, if it shifts its attack target to the federal capital.
It may also cause huge and irreparable losses.
This is also the reason why the federal minister contacted Yi Nengjing so quickly this time.
"We don't know yet."
"Suddenly, I was attacked for no apparent reason."
There was obvious helplessness and confusion in Yi Nengjing's tone.
He had no idea when he had provoked such a powerful enemy who was capable of turning the table over.
Moreover, the other party skipped the negotiation process and went directly to the last step.
The stage of physically destroying the opponent.
And speaking of this.
Coincidentally, the latest report from the war situation alert room was also transmitted to his office computer.
He clicked on it and checked it out.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly increased his speaking speed and ended the call with the federal minister.
"We found each other's identities."
"Time is urgent."
"Please allow us to deal with this matter first."
