Chapter 36 Rescue Supplies
Chapter 36 Rescue Supplies
While the transport vehicles were busy transferring supplies.
The precious engineering robot belonging to the engineering team and the engineering robot of the manufacturing center were also dispatched to the ground by Su Wu.
Their task is to operate the drilling machine to drill holes, then nail down steel bars and ropes to reinforce the cement and steel on the ground.
This may not completely guarantee the safety of the supplies, but it can at least recover some of the losses.
It's the best solution that can be found so far.
of course.
There are also disadvantages to doing this.
Construction robots are expensive and sophisticated. If something goes wrong during construction, they may only be repaired with survival points.
To some extent, this is a risky and gambling behavior.
In the dim farmyard.
As the two engineering robots entered the construction state, high-energy lasers began to shine brightly in the darkness from time to time.
A large amount of steel bars were driven deep into the ground, and then welded together in the hands of engineering robots to form a sturdy mesh steel cage that held piles of cement and steel plates.
More than half an hour later.
We watched as the engineering robots completed their scheduled tasks ahead of schedule with efficiency beyond expectations.
Su Wu simply let them use local materials and continue to weld iron plates on the steel cages to enhance wind resistance. At the same time, he also began to renovate and reinforce the two-story houses.
The two-story houses on the ground are natural shelters. If possible, Su Wu doesn't want them to collapse in the storm.
The second hour after the transfer of materials began.
The wind, which had been relatively gentle, gradually became violent.
The wind speed increased from level eight to level ten, and then gradually approached level eleven.
The movements of the construction robots that were still moving on the ground began to show obvious deformation, and their work efficiency dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"It's time to withdraw."
Su Wu was not greedy and decisively asked the construction robot to lock the door of the house. He also drove the van parked in the simple carport out and returned to the shelter with the engineering team.
After two hours of moving.
The old household appliances in the yard, as well as other miscellaneous items acquired, were basically moved to the fourth underground floor of the shelter.
Most of the supplies in the houses have been moved to the living area and manufacturing center on the second underground floor of the shelter.
Plus the ground reinforcement work.
In fact, there is almost no need to worry too much about the next storm.
However, it was at this time that Su Wu discovered that the large truck that he had not taken care of since he issued the return order had not returned until now.
With a slightly bad feeling.
Su Wu contacted the large truck through the control console.
Under the illumination of the car lights, a vast expanse of ruins with no visible boundaries immediately appeared on the screen.
"The road is blocked?"
Su Wu's heart sank and he felt a sense of urgency and crisis.
Judging from the scale of the ruins before us, it would be impossible to clear a passage without several hours.
Looking at the two construction robots on the vehicle, they were still struggling to carry stones in the strong wind.
Su Wu did not dare to waste time and quickly opened the map of Jianghe City, trying to replan the route.
Fortunately, the location where the large truck was stuck was still at the edge of the city, so Su Wu easily found an alternative plan.
"Take a detour immediately."
Submitting the new driving route to the artificial intelligence, Su Wu asked it to execute immediately without any hesitation.
Following Su Wu's order.
The two construction robots stopped their work and slowly returned to the truck cab. Then the large truck's taillights flashed and it turned around and headed for another, longer, unknown road.
Ten minutes later, a pile of billboards and various debris swept by the strong wind appeared in front of the large truck, once again blocking its path.
Faced with this accident.
Su Wu was silent for a moment and did not let the large truck turn around again.
It's too late to change route now.
I don't know when the wind speed outside the car reached level 12.
The howling wind hit the truck body, causing the large truck fully loaded with goods to begin to shake slightly from time to time.
If we continue to take a detour, it might be better to find a place to hide in the city.
Enlarge the image on the screen.
Su Wu carefully observed the debris blocking his way.
Compared to the endless ruins before, this piece of debris blocking the road was not too large in overall size. It only occupied a passage of about 20 meters.
If we act quickly enough, we may be able to clear them out before the real storm arrives.
But there is another problem here.
How to clean it.
Large trucks are vehicles that are used to transport materials and have no other special functions. In such a strong storm outside, Su Wu did not dare to let the construction robot get off the truck. If he was not careful and the road was not cleared, the construction robot might have been swept away by the strong wind without a trace.
Bang!
A loud bang came from the roof of the truck.
Su Wu was startled and quickly switched to the rooftop surveillance. He found that the loud noise was caused by a billboard falling from a high altitude into the car.
Fortunately, the truck has additional armor properties and the body is basically cast from high-strength alloy.
The accident did not cause any apparent damage to the truck.
After such a commotion, Su Wu was even more afraid to let the construction robot go out. If it was damaged, it would lose precious survival points.
"Since the truck can't solve it on its own."
"Why not just send another car over for rescue."
Giving up on trying to find a solution from the large truck, Su Wu turned his attention to the special transport vehicle parked in the shelter.
This tracked vehicle, which combines demolition, excavation and transportation, is also extremely efficient in clearing roadblocks. The only concern is whether the unpredictable storm outside will give it enough time to perform.
"I hope it's not too late."
Su Wu glanced at the time. It was 2:47 in the morning.
There is only a short time left before the official announcement of the arrival of the strong storm.
He gritted his teeth and decided to take another gamble.
surface.
The heavy iron door that was buried by some sand and gravel opened again.
An unmanned tracked vehicle drove into the ground against the strong wind.
"The wind speed is 34 meters per second."
“The stability impact is not significant.”
Sitting in the control center and monitoring the status of the special transport vehicle, Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, it is a tracked vehicle, and even though its weight is not as amazing as that of a large truck, its stability in a storm is not inferior to the former.
Ten seconds later.
Go through the initial adaptation period.
The special transport vehicle drove onto the highway, directly increasing its speed to a maximum of 60 kilometers per hour, and rushed towards the location of the large trucks in the urban area.
