Chapter 3 Lighting up half the town
Chapter 3 Lighting up half the town
"With enough materials and robotic helpers."
“It’s like entering a fast lane.”
“The shelter will definitely be built successfully.”
"If something unexpected happens, it's no longer my problem."
Free from the busyness and anxiety, Su Wu had the leisure to think about the future.
He didn't know much about the specific information about the end of the world.
I only vaguely know from the doomsday survival system that it is related to the extreme climate.
It could be high temperatures, or extreme cold, or viruses, radiation, or earthquakes and floods.
But no matter what kind of disaster it is, its main goal is to exterminate all life on the earth.
The consequence of contempt is to be turned into ashes by natural disasters.
As for the time of doomsday.
Su Wu only knew that it would be within half a year. More specifically, it would be within six months, within a month, or even within a week or two.
One can only rely on guesswork.
This uncertain time once put Su Wu under great pressure.
So now there is no need for Su Wu to do the work himself.
Otherwise, his body might collapse from anxiety before the end of the world came.
"The country should have known some news about the end of the world."
"Maybe he knows it better than I do."
"Otherwise there wouldn't be such strict material control."
"Even if you want to buy more sugar and rice, you have to sign a guarantee."
When Lenovo first arrived, online shopping failed and it could only buy large quantities of daily necessities in supermarkets and grain and oil stores to stock up.
The result was unexpected.
Just because I bought more than 40 kilograms of sugar and ten bags of rice at one time.
The security administrator came to my door personally.
Su Wu's face couldn't help but turn a little dark.
This is simply not giving ordinary people a way to survive.
Even if they got the news in advance and wanted to stockpile supplies for evacuation, ordinary people couldn't expect to stockpile much.
"Rice is okay. Ten bags of 500 kilograms are enough to last for a long time."
“Once the shelter is built into a hydroponic farm, there will be no shortage of it.”
"White sugar is a bit more troublesome."
"That thing is very useful in the end times."
“We still have to find a way to get a few more batches.”
Su Wu thought about it. He was actually already doing this. Although you need to register your ID card to buy sugar, most people don't need much. Hire a few more people, divide it into batches, and sell it second-hand. It won't be a problem to get a few hundred kilograms. Besides, there are more things with high sugar content than just sugar. No one will care if you buy some unsaleable candies.
In addition to sugar, salt, vitamin tablets, various commonly used chemical medicines for treating diseases, tobacco, alcohol, seasonings, etc. are also high-value hard currencies in the future.
These regulations are relatively loose, but the price is not cheap. Due to the limited funds in hand, the quantity that can be purchased is also limited.
However, it is more than enough to meet its own needs and carry out minimal external transactions.
After considering his own shelter, Su Wu couldn't help but sigh.
“The authorities have controlled so many supplies.”
"I hope their shelters are well prepared."
"Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die by then."
He was not a person who was prone to being kind. But he felt sorry for his own kind. If he was the only one left alive in the world in the future, it would not be a good thing.
Humans are social animals after all.
The importance of spiritual food is not much less than that of real food.
Night gradually fell.
A small farmyard located in a deserted suburb.
Except for the noise made by the construction robots, everything was as peaceful as before.
When the time reached midnight.
A series of new information quietly refreshed on Su Wu's system panel.
【Today's survival points are settled.】
[Successfully survive a day, survival point +1. 】
[Successfully manufactured a general-purpose light engineering robot, with a slight increase in survivability. Survival points +2.]
[Obtain the first fully automatic tool, moving from the manual era to the mechanical processing era. The chance of surviving the apocalypse is greatly increased. Survival points +75. ]
[Current remaining survival points: 78 points.]
"75 point."
"So many rewards?"
The corner of Su Wu's eyes twitched, and for a moment he wondered if he had seen it wrong.
Although he had previously studied the rules of the doomsday system and had vaguely guessed that he might receive a generous extra reward.
But giving 75 points at one time was still beyond his expectations.
You know, before that.
At most he would only get a guaranteed income of a few survival points every day.
"It seems that I still underestimated the importance of engineering robots."
After being surprised, Su Wu couldn't help but feel fortunate again that he chose to prioritize the manufacture of engineering robots.
With this huge amount of unexpected wealth.
The construction progress of the shelter will undoubtedly be further accelerated.
A bright future is within reach.
Noon the next day.
After more than 20 hours of work.
A small-sized drilling rig and a geothermal generator were born in the hands of engineering robots.
Su Wu went forward to check.
I found that from the appearance, they are almost exactly the same as the styles in the design drawings.
It's so neat, as if it came off an assembly line.
[A broken drilling rig.]
[Compatibility: 85%.]
【Evaluation: The drilling machine is missing some core parts and cannot operate normally. 】
【升级方向：小型钻井机1公里级（3生存点），大型钻井机5公里级（20生存点），极限钻井机10公里级（60生存点）。】
An unfinished geothermal generator.
[Compatibility: 75%.]
[Evaluation: A semi-finished generator lacking a lot of important parts, not much different from a model.]
[Upgrade direction: Small geothermal generator 300kw/hour (13 survival points). ]
Both devices were either incomplete or unfinished.
All of them cannot be used normally.
This is not surprising, because it was the result of Su Wu's active choice.
Although engineering robots can theoretically build most parts.
The time that can be consumed is not necessarily guaranteed.
The more delicate the part, the longer it takes.
If you really want to pursue perfection, it would be impossible to build a complete drilling rig and geothermal generator without ten days or half a month.
And if we really wait until that time, maybe the end of the world will come.
It would be better to just create a semi-finished product like we are doing now.
The rest can be filled directly with survival points.
this method.
It not only saves time, but also greatly reduces the cost of survival points.
It can be called the king of cost-effectiveness.
Searched for relevant information.
Su Wu hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and decided to upgrade to a ten-kilometer drilling rig.
This is not a luxury, but he has no choice.
The central part of the continent where Jianghe City is located lacks volcanoes and hot springs, and is not a geothermal resource zone in the traditional sense. In order to truly operate a geothermal generator, pipes must be laid extremely deep underground.
This huge project is far beyond the capability of ordinary drilling rigs.
"I hope it's enough."
Seeing a large amount of survival points being splashed out, Su Wu couldn't help but collapse with a distressed expression. But he knew in his heart that this step would have to be taken sooner or later.
Electricity is the basis of construction and survival.
Without electricity, everything will become a mirage.
The upgraded 10-kilometer-class extreme drilling machine is equivalent to the size of a bus when folded, and can cover almost half of a football field when unfolded.
It is a real behemoth.
Fortunately, it has a high degree of automation and even has rollers and a certain amount of power.
Su Wu successfully activated it without much effort.
But because I have no similar work experience.
After entering the construction state.
Su Wu's operation seemed somewhat hesitant and clumsy.
It took more than twenty hours, excluding the rest time, until the evening of the next day to finally lay the pipe to a depth of more than 9,000 meters underground.
Looking at the data coming back from the end probe, this position is good enough for the geothermal generator to operate normally.
There is no pursuit of the ten-kilometer limit.
Su Wu knew when to stop and decisively finished his work, and then started installing the geothermal generator.
An upgraded geothermal generator that costs 13 survival points.
The various performances are even better than the data on the design drawings. They have basically reached the world's top level, and the interface is also very user-friendly.
This made Su Wu's installation quite easy.
Two hours later.
A row of green indicator lights lit up on the geothermal generator.
Su Wu's own generator officially started running.
"good."
"The power generation capacity has reached the rated value and can produce 300 kWh of electricity per hour."
"For a long time to come, we won't have to worry about electricity."
Look at the real-time power generation displayed on the small display screen of the geothermal generator.
Su Wu's fatigue caused by long-term concentration was swept away, and his mood became extremely relaxed.
What does 300 kWh of electricity per hour mean? That is equivalent to the power generation of a small hydropower station with an investment of about million yuan.
It is enough to meet the power consumption of 1 ordinary household lamps at the same time, and can light up half a town at night.
Having it means having an unlimited future.
