Chapter 54: Urban Mineral Deposits
But there's no use regretting.
The network on the surface has long been destroyed by various disasters.
If we think from a pessimistic point of view, perhaps during Wang Hao's lifetime, he will never be able to access the network with such rich resources.
And at this time.
Wang Hao's eyes moved and he noticed that there seemed to be an unfamiliar network signal on his mobile phone.
He blinked, subconsciously thinking that he was having an illusion. But the next moment, his finger had already touched it before he could react.
“Hey, it really connects.”
Wang Hao's heart suddenly started pounding, and he realized that he might have discovered something incredible.
What happened to Wang Hao is not isolated.
In more places, different shelters, and people of different identities, they have gradually discovered this new network that can easily provide full signal even deep underground.
Most of the people.
Due to limited conditions, I cannot actually access the Internet and interact with others, and can only passively watch the only video sent by the Internet.
But just this alone was enough to make them excited beyond their control.
That was the first time they had come into contact with information from the outside world since they moved into the shelter and hid in the darkness underground for so many days.
They are not alone.
This one night.
Countless people stayed awake all night, playing the video from the outside world over and over again.
They looked at the endless golden wheat fields in the video and listened to the soft and peaceful singing coming from the video.
The mood that had been depressed for a long time seemed to be gradually healed.
It was also at this time that they remembered the singer's name for the first time and never forgot it again.
Except for ordinary people.
As a senior executive of a shelter, or a wealthy person who owns a family shelter.
Since they can connect to the official satellite network, they can easily switch to Su Wu's new Internet.
for them.
The resources in this mysterious and unknown network are incredibly rich.
You can find almost all kinds of commonly used software and all kinds of knowledge that you can use and can't use anymore.
If there weren't so few people to communicate with, they would even think that this was the Internet of the past, restored to its original state.
"No matter who built it, having this network is better than having nothing."
After carefully contacting several well-known online people on the Internet.
The elites in these shelters have different thoughts, but they all generally reach this consensus.
The second hour after the communication signal tower was officially put into operation.
As some shelters opened up transit rights to their internal users, the entire nascent Internet gradually gained popularity.
Many people began to share their lives and experiences in the shelters on the social software they were once familiar with.
Some people couldn't wait to download all the information they could find, fearing that this network that appeared out of nowhere would suddenly shut down again.
There are also a few people who have nothing to do and try to install games provided on the Internet.
They started playing with abandon, not caring that they could only play against AI for the time being due to too few people online.
Because the fact that they can play games is enough to satisfy them.
Huangshi Village, the ruins of a farmhouse.
The control center on the second underground floor of the shelter.
Su Wu paid attention to the network which was gradually gaining some vitality, and peeked at the people who were active online, talking about their own life in the shelter, and talking about Chen Xin's songs. He couldn't help but feel a special sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in his heart.
All this in front of me.
He had done it all himself. He had successfully planted a small tree called prosperity in the desert.
After a long time.
Su Wu looked at the time and it was already very late.
He logged off the Internet somewhat reluctantly and began his routine summary of his daily work.
In the last hours of this evening.
The robots and engineering team successfully built the shelter at the exit of the shelter.
They have now returned to the shelter.
The fourth underground floor of the shelter is almost complete, and some engineering teams have already started digging a vertical passage to the fifth floor using their machinery.
If everything goes well, wait until Su Wu wakes up tomorrow morning.
The final solidification work can then be carried out on the 4th floor, declaring the 4th floor of the shelter officially completed.
"It seems that the special transport vehicle will not be able to play a big role for the time being if it continues to stay here."
"You can start going out and earning some extra money."
The space on the first floor is 600 square meters, which is neither big nor small.
But after accommodating an engineering team and adding two large special transport vehicles, it seemed somewhat crowded.
Besides, there wasn't much work left to do.
After some consideration, Su Wu simply ordered two special transport vehicles to withdraw from the construction sequence and go to the urban area of Jianghe City to pick up garbage.
He had long been envious of the various scrap metals in the city that had been smashed by storms and collapsed buildings.
I didn't have the energy to spare before.
Now that I have the opportunity, I certainly can’t let it go.
"Well, there are also large trucks going there."
"Even if I can't collect so much scrap metal right away, I can still bring back some construction waste."
"It will be used sooner or later anyway."
While thinking about it, Su Wu planned the route and set priorities for this temporary team that was going to the urban area to pick up garbage.
The wreckage of household appliances, such as air conditioner outdoor units, is undoubtedly the most valuable of the same volume, followed by cars, street lights, billboards, and other items containing a large amount of metal.
Although construction waste also contains steel bars, it is wrapped with a lot of cement blocks. So, it is the lowest value.
Only when there is nothing to pick up can you load them into the car.
Avoid idle capacity of large trucks.
"First, run along the cleared road."
"Pick up any metal trash that's easy to pick up along the way first."
"Then run a second time and dig out the shallower part."
"Then we searched the collapsed factories, shopping malls, residential areas, and warehouses for building materials and home appliances. We searched what needed to be scanned and cleared the roads where necessary."
"The last ones are the home appliances buried deep in the construction waste."
The goals set by Su Wu at each stage were extremely clear.
Garbage like home appliances and cars.
For other shelters, the utilization rate may not be as high as Su Wu's. But in the end times, any resource will be used up as it is used.
It is difficult to guarantee that they will not become Su Wu's competitors in picking up garbage.
In this case, at the beginning, it is definitely a race against time.
Get the part that is easiest to pick up first.
