Chapter 50 The New Internet
Ended the communication with other shelters.
Su Wu made a sales form based on the order, and planned a delivery route based on the distance.
Thanks to the reasonable and low shipping fee he offered, all the shelters that sent in trade applications eventually chose to let Su Wu do the delivery. In this way, Su Wu earned an extra sum of money that was almost as much as the daily lettuce production of the hydroponic farm.
However, as happy as I was when I received the order, I am now as worried as I am preparing to deliver the order.
Su Wu discovered that some of the shelters were located in very remote areas, and some of the roads that had passed through were not even included in the official shelter clearance plan.
This means that if Su Wu wants to pass, he must bring a special transport vehicle with him and clear roadblocks as he goes.
If it weren't for picking up trash on the road, it would be a source of income for Su Wu. The freight alone might even make him lose money. After all, even if the electricity is free, the risk of large trucks encountering natural disasters at any time is a cost in itself.
“It would be nice to have a drone specifically designed for delivering goods.”
Thinking of the professional delivery drones he had seen in the news, Su Wu couldn't help but feel a little envious and yearning.
The K2 series agricultural drone in his hands had a decent carrying capacity, but its maximum flight speed of three meters per second increased the risk of long-distance transportation and was not suitable for regular transactions.
In addition to the K2 series agricultural drones, the largest drone traded from the official shelter can only transport 5 kilograms of items. Basically, it is rarely used.
"Take your time. Let's make do with a large truck first."
"When we have enough survival points in the future, we will consider upgrading, or researching and manufacturing a few transport drones."
Due to the current limited conditions, Su Wu can't do anything.
But in the near future, it’s hard to say.
According to Su Wu's original plan, his next survival point will first be invested in the manufacturing center on the second underground floor.
Add a CNC machine and a 3D printer to it.
These two devices, one can be used to quickly manufacture conventional parts, and the other can be used to print fine parts and special molds.
Together, they can basically take over most of the work done by engineering robots, increasing their manufacturing speed by three to five times.
At the same time, the core parts of motors, which were previously considered unmanufacturable because the manufacturing cycle of engineering robots alone was too long, can now be printed by 3D printers.
The motor is one of the most important components of all mechanical equipment that relies on electricity, such as construction robots, micro excavators, transport vehicles, etc.
The realization of self-production of motors means that the cost of manufacturing them will be further reduced. Su Wu can use the same number of survival points to create more robots and vehicles.
The overall strength of the shelter will take a huge leap forward.
By then, getting a few express-grade drones will definitely not be as difficult as it is now.
Looked at the time.
It was already three o'clock in the morning.
Even in the chat channel, few people are still active.
Su Wu, who had some free time, couldn't help feeling a little lonely for a moment.
After all, the number of people who are qualified to connect to the official network and enter the chat channel is limited, so it is difficult to make it lively even if you want to.
“The old network is still better.”
“No matter what time it is, you can always find a group of people to chat with.”
"There are also online games, watching live dances—"
Su Wu sighed slightly. Although he had not been away for a long time, he already missed the prosperous Internet. At this moment, his eyes accidentally passed the screen in front of the console and fell on the monitoring wall behind.
The quietly winding roads and rolling hills in the surveillance video made his heart move slightly.
The so-called network, to put it simply, is composed of servers and signal towers. The server can be replaced by an upgraded super notebook, and the signal tower can also be modified by picking up those communication base stations erected in the wild.
With the assistance of artificial intelligence, there will basically be no problems with the software.
With all the basic conditions added together, it seems possible to build a server by yourself, install some commonly used software and games, create a copy of the Internet, and allow people in nearby shelters to connect to the network.
"Maybe you can try it."
Su Wu murmured to himself.
Once the idea of building my own network came up, I could no longer suppress it.
But it is too late now and the risks of going out for exploration are huge.
Su Wu didn't want to start a war, so he could only do some preliminary preparations.
He first created a new local area network inside the shelter and made a simple search page.
As long as a new link enters the device in this local area network, the search web page will pop up automatically.
Then he searched the web page and listed common social software including communication, video, microblog, forum, etc. In addition, there were several online games whose source codes were made public.
With the help of artificial intelligence, all these tasks were completed in less than three minutes. The efficiency is terrifyingly high.
“WeChat, Weibo, P station.”
Su Wu used his mobile phone to download all the software on the new network. The familiar icons made him look a little dazed for a moment.
I casually opened WeChat, and the contact list was blank. The same was true for Weibo and P站, the layout of each section was almost exactly the same as before the end of the world, but there was no content in it.
No matter how similar it looks.
These software are, after all, imitations written by artificial intelligence. They also lack the most important link, that is, the people who use them.
Thought about it for a moment.
Su Wu casually pulled out a song sung by Chen Xin, asked the artificial intelligence to automatically generate a video based on the song, and then posted it on these social softwares, becoming their first user.
"It looks much more comfortable now."
Five o'clock in the morning.
Large trucks pulled the last batch of steel raw materials away from the official shelter warehouse.
Along with it left were the eight construction robots that had been busy in the official shelter all night.
at this time.
A few faint rays of sunlight penetrated the gray clouds, bringing greetings from the day to the dark city.
On the streets, the number of construction vehicles has significantly decreased compared to yesterday.
As the cleanup mission gradually came to an end, the rankings of the various shelters were basically finalized. Most shelters no longer had reasons to work at such a high intensity, and began to consciously reduce the scale of their outposts.
This is to prevent abnormal wear and tear on construction vehicles that have been specially modified to operate normally under high temperatures.
