Chapter 14 Inspection
Chapter 14 Inspection
Sit down in the chair at the console.
Su Wu reached out and pressed the operation panel, turning on the computer through the fingerprint verification device.
Half a second later.
The 40-inch screen, which occupied almost his entire field of vision, turned from dark to bright, and a three-dimensional image of the shelter outlined by dark green lines emerged in the middle.
Su Wu looked carefully and soon found the corresponding logo of the engineering team in the picture.
Then, based on their movement trajectories, it was deduced that this should be a thumbnail map showing the status of the shelter in real time.
"It's amazing."
Su Wu was a little surprised.
Regardless of whether the internal principle is simple or complex, the performance alone has already brought the sci-fi atmosphere to its fullest, giving people a full visual enjoyment.
With a slight swipe of his finger, he zoomed out and moved the three-dimensional image of the shelter to the right side of the screen. He then opened the control software and contacted the medium-sized truck that was driving autonomously far away in the city.
A street scene captured by the car's camera appears in the center of the screen.
Compared with the last time Su Wu went out.
The city area at this time seemed even more desolate.
Not only were there no shops open on both sides, but even on the residential buildings, all the windows and doors were closed, with no signs of any residential activities to be seen.
According to the electronic thermometer that comes with the vehicle.
At this time, the temperature on the street was stable at around 52.3 degrees.
At this temperature, most ordinary civilian air conditioners can no longer operate normally. Even if they still retain some cooling capacity, the actual effect is minimal.
“For ordinary people.”
"It must be very painful now."
Just thinking about it, Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little pity for those people. Besides, even if it was like this, it was just the beginning.
Strictly speaking.
In Jianghe City.
The end of the world has not really come yet.
After taking a final look at the temperature display, Su Wu decided not to step out of the shelter door and disconnected the video connection with the medium-sized truck.
Turn to check the surface conditions.
In the farmyard on the surface, after the construction of two consecutive floors of the shelter, about 800 tons of the 3,000 tons of scrap metal in stock have been used. In addition to the needs for manufacturing drilling rigs, geothermal generators, vehicles, robots, etc., the yard that was originally filled with scrap metal has become much emptier.
Under normal circumstances, building a shelter would not require such an excessive amount of steel materials.
However, Su Wu could not resist the lack of security in his heart, so he added another layer of thick steel plate to the one-meter-thick concrete outer wall of the shelter.
In this way, it is sturdy enough that even an unprecedented earthquake cannot shake open the outer wall of the shelter.
However, the consumption of steel also far exceeded the original design.
"It seems that the batch of steel traded from the steel mill is far from enough."
"We have to find more steel raw materials."
Su Wu pondered and silently added a new to-do item to his future plans.
This thing is not difficult.
Unlike food, steel raw materials have almost no requirements for storage environment.
After the apocalypse, there are a large number of abandoned houses and unattended vehicles, etc. There are also some small iron mines that are not suitable for transformation into shelters.
They can all be good sources of raw materials.
The only problem is how to collect and transport them back.
Looking past the scrap iron, we look at the second largest items in the yard, namely, used household appliances and rubber.
These things, especially the circuit boards in used household appliances.
For Su Wu at the moment, steel is more important than anything else.
Various rare elements extracted from circuit boards are essential raw materials for upgrading all electronic equipment in the shelter.
Even if there are no raw materials, you can use survival points to upgrade it. But the price difference is enough to make Su Wu give up the idea after just one look. "Circuit boards don't take up space."
"We can dismantle them all first and store them as valuables in the Mechanical Manufacturing Center on the second floor of the shelter."
"And then put some copper, aluminum and rubber in there."
Thinking about the rare materials warehouse in the Mechanical Manufacturing Center, there is still a lot of idle space.
Su Wu came up with the idea of taking advantage of him.
It is not safe to leave important supplies on the ground. They might disappear in a storm one day.
If conditions permit, it is best to put it in a shelter.
However, disassembling the circuit board is not an easy task. It will take at least seven or eight hours for a construction robot to complete the task.
Su Wu currently has only two construction robots. One is helping the construction team build a shelter, and the other is transporting purchased steel. Neither of them can be used.
"Let's add another construction robot."
It is impossible to do the work yourself.
The remaining survival points are barely enough, considering the increasing labor demand in the shelter.
Su Wu simply made up his mind and planned to spend the last five survival points.
The engineering robot was given the task of manufacturing a construction robot model as a priority.
He continued to patrol the surface through surveillance.
The rest is nothing to see.
Cement, sand, and a two-story building that was almost empty.
These are all large items that are not valuable to ordinary people and are not easy to steal. There is no need to worry about custody and storage issues for the time being.
"From now on, we can shift our focus to the interior of the shelter."
Take inventory of your remaining assets on the ground.
Su Wu inexplicably felt his shoulders lighten. The vague sense of urgency and crisis that had been weighing on his heart disappeared quietly. In its place was a sense of stability with a sense of support and protection.
Now, people and most of the important materials have been moved inside the shelter. Even if the doomsday disaster strikes outside, there will be no more safety concerns.
He has truly transformed from an ordinary person who lives at every turn into the owner of a shelter with the ability to withstand risks.
Switch the surveillance to inside the shelter.
The hydroponic farm on the first floor had been planted and seeded for nearly ten days. The fastest growing vegetables were already showing obvious green.
"It won't be long before we can carry out a small-scale harvest."
“It’s time to put professional farm robots on the manufacturing agenda.”
Limited to a difficult survival point.
The hydroponic farm was only upgraded once after it was built. It only realized the three basic functions of automatic monitoring and replenishing nutrient solution, water circulation and lighting. It barely ensured that the rice, vegetables and fruits planted could grow normally.
As for more detailed things, such as adjusting light, temperature and nutrients according to the types of crops, breeding, harvesting, maintenance, etc., there are none of them.
Now, as vegetables gradually begin to mature in large quantities, the problem of escalating again can no longer be delayed any longer.
Make a note of this to yourself.
Su Wu continued to switch to the second floor of the shelter for inspection.
In addition to the living area and control center, the second floor also houses the power room, water storage room, daily necessities warehouse and mechanical manufacturing center.
The rest is nothing good.
The Mechanical Manufacturing Center was basically an empty hall at this time. None of the planned lathes, 3D printers, and engineering robots were there.
"Another place that needs a lot of survival points."
"take it easy."
At this time, Su Wu was no longer in a hurry.
You can't get fat in one go. Be patient and you will get what you deserve sooner or later.
