Chapter 6 The Gradually Formed Construction Team
Chapter 6 The Gradually Formed Construction Team
"Now the engineering team can start work normally."
Although there is only one excavator and one transporter, the combination of the two can form a simple cycle and truly promote the continuous operation of the excavation project.
But just like this, it is not perfect enough.
The soil at the site Su Wu chose to build his shelter was relatively soft, so digging underground was not difficult. However, the possibility of collapse during construction also increased significantly.
Therefore, the reinforcement of underground space must be carried out simultaneously with excavation. There can be no slack at all.
I took a look at the slope dug by the mini excavator. At this time, because the distance was still short, I couldn't see anything.
But Su Wu knew that if he left it alone and let the mini excavator continue digging, it would probably bury the excavator itself in the soil.
Return to the bedroom.
Su Wu opened his laptop and continued to add tasks for the engineering robot, including manufacturing a construction robot and a small cement mixer.
Neither of these manufacturing tasks is difficult.
Several hours passed.
After investing another 5 survival points in upgrading,
A humanoid construction robot appeared in front of Su Wu.
Compared with engineering robots, construction robots are much cheaper, only one-third of the former.
Its body shape is more human-like. The ends of its only two mechanical arms are bionic fingers. It can flexibly use various human construction tools.
Occasionally it can also be used to carry cargo or act as a bodyguard.
It can be said to be a standard multi-purpose worker.
The emergence of construction robots has truly made up for the last shortcoming of the engineering team.
Completely freed Su Wu from labor.
At least like before.
Su Wu no longer needed to open an exit on the courtyard wall himself. He only needed to give the construction robot a command and it would be done automatically.
"Go reinforce the passage."
Su Wu assigned tasks to the construction robots.
At this time, after nearly a day of excavation, the mini excavator had already dug out a decent entrance in the yard, which needed to be reinforced.
This is temporary reinforcement.
Wood is best.
It's cheap and fast.
However, since Su Wu could not buy those things at the time, he could only use steel angle irons instead.
In this approach, waste is secondary.
The key is that engineering robots need to take some time out to help cut and weld some qualified plates.
This indirectly affects other manufacturing tasks of engineering robots.
"What a pity! It would be nice if we could go to the mountains and cut down some trees."
There are no shortage of wild mountains and ridges in the suburbs of Su Wu's city. But the social order has not collapsed yet. Even though they know that the forests are unlikely to survive after the end of the world, they cannot cut them down wantonly.
I felt regretful for a while.
Su Wu quickly calmed down.
There's no need to be too greedy.
His current situation was pretty good. He had a highly efficient construction team that could work 24 hours a day, and he also had his own site for building a shelter.
A long way ahead of most people.
Ordinary people living in the city who don't know the end of the world is coming are the real victims. They can only hope that the official shelters have enough space. Even if they are lucky enough to get in, their quality of life is unimaginable.
evening.
The yard was brightly lit.
Two robots and two engineering vehicles were working non-stop to dig and reinforce the underground passage.
It brought a rather busy scene.
To avoid interfering with construction.
Su Wu hid in his bedroom on the second floor early. He remotely monitored the construction progress through the control software on his laptop. He played games out of boredom and browsed forums and news online.
"The temperature in Antarctica has risen to a record high. Millions of cubic kilometers of glaciers may melt, and more than 100 coastal cities may be submerged."
"The strongest typhoon in history is about to land on the coast of Dongzhou."
"Starting from 8pm today, all production and work in Poxiao City will be suspended. Be prepared to face the typhoon."
Several pieces of disaster information came into Su Wu's field of vision.
Similar news has been reported every year in the past. Generally speaking, unless you are at the first scene of the disaster, most people will not have any special feelings about it. They will just treat it as a normal environmental protection propaganda and weather forecast.
But if you pay a little more attention, you will find that today's news is slightly different from the past.
Words like breakthrough, strongest, etc., which carry strong ominous and suggestive connotations, appear frequently as if they were free.
"The signs of the end of the world are becoming more and more obvious."
“Will the first wave of doomsday climate disasters be high temperatures?”
Su Wu clicked on the news and watched the video of a large amount of Antarctic glaciers falling into the sea. He felt a little awed.
He deliberately chose to build the shelter in the central region of the continent.
The main reason is to prevent possible tsunamis and rising sea levels.
As for stable geology, cheap prices, etc., they are secondary.
Now it seems.
There is nothing wrong with this decision.
At the very least, there is a high probability that his place will not be the first scene of the doomsday.
There is more time to prepare.
"It's a pity for those people in the coastal cities. I don't know how many people will survive in the end."
Another piece of news was refreshed. Su Wu looked at a picture of a city with waves crashing against the embankment and children playing and playing on the embankment.
I could faintly smell the scent of death.
But there was nothing he could do about it.
If it weren't for the reminder of the Doomsday Survival System, he would have been an ordinary person living in a coastal city.
After reading the news, Su Wu opened the communication software again.
A few days ago, in order to facilitate the planning of the shelter, he specially joined a large chat group established by several related enthusiasts.
Learned a lot from it.
at this time.
A discussion in one of the large groups caught his attention.
In that group, there was a netizen named Chenxin who seemed to be very scared about the news about the melting of Antarctica.
I want to transfer to an inland city.
However, most of the responses I received were ridicule and dissuasion.
Although most of the people in the group are doomsday enthusiasts.
But in reality, few people really connect the end of the world with reality.
Just for a far-fetched guess, which was not even known whether it was true or not, I went to great lengths to transfer schools and move.
In their opinion, it is really an excessive worry.
“It is recommended to look at how many regulated goods are already on the market.”
"It is actually very wise to leave the coast as early as possible."
Su Wu thought about it and replied to Chen Xin in the group chat. Then he ignored the many objections that appeared, closed the group chat, and concentrated on playing the game.
It was just a matter of two sentences. If it could save a life, Su Wu would not hesitate to do so.
But if the other party is too stupid and ends up following the crowd, he won't feel sorry.
It remains to be seen whether human civilization can survive in the apocalypse.
A foolish person should just die.
