Chapter 4: Turbulence in the Calm Daily Life
at this time.
A drop of rain fell from the sky onto Su Wu's face, bringing him a chill.
Su Wu raised his head and looked at the sky which had grown darker without him noticing, and frowned slightly.
He found that he seemed to have overlooked some problems.
"We have to find a way to build a rain shelter for the generator first."
"Also, we need to find a way to raise the bottom of the greenhouse where the cement bags are placed to prepare for drainage."
Geothermal generators have a certain degree of waterproofing, but the probability of failure during heavy rain is somewhat higher than normal.
It is necessary to build a rainproof shed for it.
Not to mention cement.
This task is quite simple for Su Wu now.
One order goes down.
The engineering robot began to select materials from the scrap metal pile. Using its sharp cutting blade and laser emitter that could melt gold and iron, it built the prototype of the rain shelter bit by bit.
late at night.
The clouds that had been accumulating for a long time finally began to pour down heavy rain.
Su Wu hid in the bedroom on the second floor.
Looking out the window to the yard.
The lights in the makeshift awning were bright at this time.
The geothermal generator is running stably. A row of dark green indicator lights indicate sufficient power, which makes people feel extremely relieved.
Next to the generator, engineering robots are still working tirelessly.
According to Su Wu's plan.
It will continue to build a mini excavator and a mini transporter to form a simple construction team.
Used to dig an underground space on site large enough to accommodate a small shelter.
“The progress is a little faster than expected.”
"We'll see after we finish building them. If the upgrade doesn't require many survival points, we might consider selling a few of them later."
Looking at the tracks and chassis that have already taken shape in the hands of the engineering robot.
Su Wu pondered the ingredients and production time and found them acceptable. His mind couldn't help but become active.
He is not a money-grubber.
But the profits here are really too outrageous.
A mini excavator.
Based on normal prices in the past, it would be around 3 yuan.
And when Su Wu traveled through time and wanted to try to buy one.
The price had skyrocketed fifty times. And there was still no demand. If you really wanted to get it, you would have to spend at least two million.
Such a huge price difference.
If he could sell two of them, Su Wu's current material reserves would increase several times.
Suddenly become a local tycoon in the end times.
Of course, at present, the sale is just a concept.
The shadow of doomsday may fall at any time.
The refuge is the basis of Su Wu's survival.
All transactions must be attempted under the premise that they do not affect the progress of shelter construction.
Su Wu was quite clear about what was more important here.
Watched the engineering robot work for a while.
I found myself in a position where I could do nothing to help.
Su Wu withdrew his gaze, opened his laptop and started browsing the news.
Mainstream media on the Internet.
Still as usual, reporting some trivial matters.
However, some self-media have more or less mentioned the problem that market regulation has become more stringent in recent days.
It's just that the price of daily necessities has not changed much, so it has not affected our daily life.
Ordinary people don't have much feeling about this. The related playback volume is generally not high.
"It is suspected that all toy factories in Dongzhou have stopped production and the workers in the factories have been conscripted by the Dongzhou government to join the construction team."
A piece of news caught Su Wu's attention.
He tried to click on it, but found that the original URL of the news was no longer valid.
"That's it again."
Su Wu was somewhat helpless. The federal government of this world had stricter control over the Internet. There were many things that the government didn't want to make public.
Even if it happens in the next block and affects millions of people, don't expect to find any useful clues on the Internet.
At most, some groundless news can be spread in more private chat groups.
But there are so many outrageous rumors spreading in the chat group that ordinary people have no way of telling whether they are true or false.
Knowing it is almost the same as not knowing it.
If Su Wu didn't have the doomsday survival system, he might still be like an ordinary person now.
Living in a cage of false information woven by the Internet.
They don't realize at all that disaster is about to happen.
The source of the news just now was not found.
This shows that it has a certain authenticity.
Su Wu carefully recalled the title he had seen.
My mood became a little heavier again.
The shutdown of the toy factory may seem like a trivial matter, but in fact, it represents that there are serious problems in the operation of this society.
We can no longer support unimportant industries occupying manpower and limited resources.
in other words.
The only step left for full regulation now is public announcement.
"If you keep going like this."
"I'm afraid we'll really only be able to barter in the future."
Thinking of the terrible environment in the future, Su Wu felt even more stressed.
Fortunately, he had almost spent all the money he had.
Although the stored supplies are not much.
But everything that needs to be prepared has been prepared, enough for him to use for three to five years.
As for three to five years later.
There is a survival point, a magical plug-in that seems to have been created out of thin air.
If things go well, he should have been able to be self-sufficient by then.
No need to worry about supplies.
early morning.
A new day arrives, and the system panel begins to calculate the day's harvest.
【Today's survival points are settled.】
[Successfully survive a day, survival point +1. 】
[Successfully built a geothermal generator, slightly increased survivability. Survival points +3. ]
[Obtain the first personal power station and start the industrial age. Survival points +25. ]
[Current remaining survival points: 34 points.]
“There are more and more survival points.”
After completing such a huge project as installing the geothermal generator, there are still more than 30 survival points left.
Su Wu felt unusually peaceful and satisfied in his heart for a moment.
These survival points.
They will be the guarantee of his future survival.
the next day.
morning.
Some dazzling sunlight broke through the clouds and shone into the bedroom.
Su Wu got up and washed up.
Go out and check.
It was discovered that the engineering robot had already completed the construction of the micro excavator, and had also built a small part of the micro transport vehicle.
Focus on mini excavators.
An upgrade panel popped up immediately.
[Mini excavators lack power.]
[Compatibility: 90%.]
[Evaluation: Apart from some minor flaws in power and materials, its craftsmanship is impeccable. ]
[Upgrade direction: Micro excavator diesel version (2 survival points), Micro excavator battery version (5 survival points), Micro excavator unmanned version (7 survival points). ]
