Chapter 11 Scrap Metal Trading
Chapter 11 Scrap Metal Trading
Commanding a construction robot, it carried a large pile of scrap metal over.
Su Wu began to officially upgrade.
soon.
As the 8 survival points on the system panel disappeared.
The second-hand tractor completed its evolution in a flash of white light.
The evolution of used tractors.
Its size has expanded so much that no trace of the tractor can be found.
It has completely transformed into a mid-sized truck with a heavy metallic appearance.
Compared to before the upgrade, its speed and load capacity have increased by about three times. At the same time, because of the selection of the sub-option armor, the tires have changed from inflatable to solid. The cab is also stronger and heavier. Even the glass on both sides and the front of the cab has been transformed into a bulletproof style. It is enough to resist the attack of machetes, hammers, and light weapons such as pistols.
"Now the safety should be guaranteed."
The upgraded medium-sized truck gave Su Wu a great sense of security.
But even so, I still feel like something is missing.
There is no such thing as perfect passive defense. Only by mastering the power of offense can you be invincible.
Su Wu thought about it for a moment.
Run back to the bedroom.
He retrieved a crossbow design from his notebook and transmitted it to the engineering robot.
Let it adjust its mission again, giving priority to the production of crossbows and crossbow arrows.
This crossbow design is a special model downloaded by a primary artificial intelligence from a niche website that is not open to the public.
Can fire three times in a row.
The effective range reaches fifty meters.
According to federal law, this design is prohibited knowledge and cannot be sold or disseminated to others, nor can the finished product be carried around or used.
If it were normal times, Su Wu would naturally not dare to have any thoughts about the crossbow.
But now that the news of the coming of the end of the world has almost been made public, I think the law enforcers will not have the leisure to check for contraband.
As long as you don't make too much noise, there's no problem using it simply for self-defense.
the next day.
Pick up the completed hand crossbow that looks very metallic and a tube of 30 crossbow arrows.
Su Wu drove three diesel mini excavators that had been upgraded on site into the truck compartment. Then he and a construction robot boarded the cab one on the left and one on the right. They drove towards the agreed steel plant several dozen kilometers away.
The reason for bringing a construction robot is mainly to use it as a porter.
There were two or three hundred tons of scrap metal in total. Even if Su Wu worked himself to death, he couldn't possibly complete the loading and unloading work. It would be better to just mess it up from the beginning and let the construction robots do the work.
Moreover, the humanoid construction robot is capable of carrying heavy objects and naturally possesses certain martial arts capabilities.
If you encounter a threat, you can temporarily act as a bodyguard.
Greatly improve security.
A purely electric truck.
The handling feels exceptionally smooth and it's silent when it starts.
Su Wu drove at lightning speed and soon entered the city.
In the city.
The situation is a little better than expected.
Although the news of the doomsday had spread thoroughly among everyone after a day of fermentation, most of the shops on the street were closed, and most of the pedestrians were gone. Only trucks requisitioned by the government were transporting supplies to various official shelters. The atmosphere seemed a bit depressed and tense.
But overall, thanks to the timely announcement of the shelter placement plan by the authorities, the order was still under control. No one was seen causing trouble.
Su Wu's tense nerves relaxed a little. He blended into the freight convoy with peace of mind, passed through the city, and arrived at the steel plant on the other side of the city.
There were no accidents during the handover process.
After delivering three mini excavators, Su Wu successfully obtained the key to a warehouse storing 260 tons of scrap iron and 4 tons of primary processed steel plates.
And it was also at this time.
Su Wu found himself in a trouble of not too small a size.
The medium-sized truck he drove had a maximum load capacity of nearly 10 tons. However, because the scrap metal he traded to him was all irregularly shaped scrap materials, even if he filled the truck compartment, he could only carry about five tons at a time.
This means that transportation efficiency is directly halved.
If you want to pull all the steel back from the warehouse, you have to make at least 50 or 60 trips back and forth. If you add the time spent on loading and unloading, it is very likely that you will not be able to transport all the steel until the end of the world.
In desperation.
Su Wu could only turn his attention to another upgradeable sub-option of the medium-sized truck, electronic information.
The so-called electronic information is a comprehensive function.
It integrates many functions such as autonomous driving, remote communication, terrain radar scanning, etc.
The modification cost is 3 survival points.
Once the modification is complete, Su Wu can use a laptop and basic artificial intelligence to make the medium-sized truck automatically drive on the road. Then, after the medium-sized truck arrives at the steel plant warehouse, it can also use it as a communication relay to remotely command the construction robot on the truck to load the goods. It can achieve unmanned automatic operation throughout the process.
So that I don’t have to do the transportation myself.
Without much hesitation, Su Wu quickly decided to upgrade the electronic information for medium-sized trucks.
At the same time, in order to avoid trouble caused by driverless cars on the road, Su Wu also specially attached a one-way filter film to the glass of the cab to cover up the real situation in the cab.
This is of course a bit non-compliant.
But it’s still the same sentence.
The end of the world is coming soon, and few people have the time to care about some trivial matters, unless they are too excessive.
In this way, the unmanned medium-sized truck mixed in the busy convoy on the street and began to travel between Su Wu's farmyard and the steel plant day and night, moving the scrap iron from the steel plant warehouse to the farmyard bit by bit.
the following few days.
In addition to the coastal cities which were unexpectedly affected by the tsunami and suffered heavy losses.
Nothing important happened.
Su Wu stayed in the building in his courtyard with great concentration. He read the news every day, chatted in forums and groups, and played games. His life was relaxed and leisurely.
If Su Wu had not still received some doomsday-related news from time to time, he would even have the illusion of returning to the peaceful times of his previous life.
Speaking of it.
One point to mention is.
Because of the deal with the steel mill, Su Wu proved his strength.
He also became an administrator in the doomsday chat group, and was also pulled into a small group called Jianghe City Doomsday Survival Preparation Group.
This small group of only twenty or so people is composed of people who are in power in private or corporate shelters in several cities around Jianghe City.
The original intention of establishment.
It is to facilitate the local small and medium-sized shelters to trade supplies and exchange information with each other.
With the help of this special chat group, Su Wu gradually learned a lot of news that ordinary people didn't know.
