Chapter 41 The Official Dilemma

Suppress the ominous premonition in your heart.

Su Wu continued to look at another announcement.

That one was more of a mission bounty than an announcement.

The official shelter in Jianghe City offered supplies with a total value of 15 million as rewards.

Employment tasks are issued to all companies and individual shelters. Tasks include clearing ground roads, assisting officials in building underground farms and breeding farms, exchanging designated items, etc.

Among them, clearing the ground roads is the biggest task.

The authorities even specially planned dozens of routes to be cleaned up and specified the rewards in units of meters.

"So eager?"

Su Wu was a little surprised, but soon he figured out the key.

Although the official shelters in Jianghe City are connected to each other through underground passages, most of them are temporary emergency constructions with narrow passages less than one meter wide. At most, people can walk or use toy trains pulled from the amusement park.

The efficiency of material transportation is so low that it is almost negligible compared to the scale of several million people.

If an emergency really occurs, we still need to rely on ground roads for coordination and mutual support.

In other words, the ground transportation system is still the lifeblood of the current official shelters. Even at a huge cost, it must be kept open.

I understand the official attitude.

Su Wu was no longer so anxious.

He took on the task of clearing the road, and then after a brief consideration, he decided to remove the engineering team from the conscription queue and only send large trucks, special transport vehicles, and two construction robots out to perform the task.

Going out now is a very risky thing.

The engineering team is the only systematic construction team in Su Wu's hands and the main force for expanding the shelter. It is itself very precious and important.

No matter what the considerations are, you should not take risks with them, even if you may get excess returns from them.

"Next."

"The engineering team will go back and continue digging the fourth underground level of the shelter."

"The reconnaissance drone formation is responsible for providing routes and air warnings for the outbound cleanup teams."

"And the construction robots will continue to stay on the ground and build small bunkers."

Sort out the work at the shelter one by one.

At this time, Su Wu felt deeply the shortage of labor in the shelter.

There are seven construction robots in total, two of which will go out with the vehicle and two will return to the engineering team to ensure that the engineering team can operate at full efficiency. Only three can actually stay on the ground to build the bunker.

As for Santai, it seems like they are prepared to do this until the end of time.

"We have to expand our team."

He looked at the survival points in his hand. He had not made any big money in the past few days. Instead, he had spent a lot of survival points on various trivial matters. So far, he had only saved 25 survival points. According to Su Wu's original idea, these survival points should be kept as emergency funds and used to save lives in times of crisis.

But now, he has changed his mind.

Survival points are the trump card, and shelters are also the trump card. If you build a strong shelter early, you can still be fearless of danger.

So use it when necessary.

"Use all 25 survival points."

"To add five construction robots."

Since he had decided to use the reserved survival points, Su Wu did not hesitate and directly planned to invest all the survival points in manufacturing construction robots.

The work efficiency of the construction robot is not as high as that of professional mechanical equipment. However, its humanoid body is almost enough to handle most of the work. No matter how many are built, there will be no risk of saturation. On the contrary, each additional unit will definitely significantly increase the construction speed of various projects in a section of the shelter. It can be said to be a universal tool second only to the construction robot.

Manufacturing center.

The two engineering robots that received Su Wu's manufacturing order immediately went into work.

They took the materials out of the warehouse, cut and melted them, and welded the skeleton of the construction robot bit by bit from scratch.

Because the raw materials used have been preliminarily screened and processed in advance, the entire process progresses very quickly. On average, a construction robot model can be created in the hands of these two engineering robots every hour.

Su Wu paid close attention to the manufacturing progress.

Every time the construction robots were finished, he would go to the manufacturing center and use the survival points to activate the construction robots. Then he would immediately send them to the ground to join the team building the bunker. No time was wasted.

This went on for several hours.

The ground where the farmyard was originally located was bustling again. With the joint efforts of the construction robots, which gradually increased to eight, and the occasional concrete mixers, micro excavators, and micro transporters from the engineering team, the first floor of the small bunker was gradually taking shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"At this rate, it will take another two hours."

"The first level of the bunker can be completed."

Seeing that the labor force he had increased with his krypton gold had brought obvious results, Su Wu felt a little satisfied.

Unlike the one-meter-thick concrete walls of the underground shelter, the walls of this small bunker built on the ground are only 20 centimeters thick. No construction waste is used for filling. Although there is no need to use survival points for reinforcement, the cost is greatly reduced, but each layer must be built for eight to twelve hours until the concrete hardens before moving on to the next step.

At the same time, due to the previous storm, except for a small amount of sand and stone on the fourth floor of the underground shelter for emergency use, all other reserves have been lost. At this time, if no method is found to replenish them, not only the bunkers on the ground, but also the expansion of the underground shelter will be forced to suspend due to the lack of necessary materials.

However, this problem is not difficult to solve.

There is a dry river two or three kilometers away from the farmyard. You only need to send excavators and transport vehicles to dig up a truckload of sand and gravel. The only cost is the power consumed by the vehicles and the normal mechanical wear and tear, as well as the risk of being a little bit away from the shelter.

Two or three kilometers is not close.

Especially in the unpredictable end times, no one can guarantee that they will be able to return safely after going out.

Call up the ground photos taken by a reconnaissance drone formation not long ago.

Su Wu studied it carefully and found that the river course had not changed much. The route leading there was mostly the same as the route that the cleaning team had taken before, so there were basically no obstacles. The biggest danger was the last few hundred meters of the journey, which required crossing a rugged wilderness and a steep slope, and there might be various pitfalls.
