Chapter 62 Aurora and Omens

In the new version.

The length of the mini excavator has been increased from 1.5 meters to 4.4 meters, and the amount of soil that the bucket can dig each time has been increased from 0.04 cubic meters to 0.2 cubic meters.

The overall construction efficiency has increased by about 5 times.

This new excavator can no longer be described as micro, but can be described as small. It has truly become a professional construction tool, a sharp tool for construction in the industrial age.

The size growth of micro-transport vehicles is even more exaggerated.

The length of the vehicle has increased from less than two meters to six meters, and it can carry up to nearly 20 cubic meters of cargo, weighing up to 50 tons.

Using this new type of transport vehicle, named Ore Type 1, to transport one load of soil and rocks, the micro-transport vehicle needs to run back and forth seven or eight times.

And as it grows in size, it can also be equipped with more powerful electric engines.

The driving speed has also been improved to a certain extent, basically reaching 50 kilometers per hour.

With this speed, it can almost be used as the main vehicle for long-distance transportation, freeing large trucks from the task of transporting scrap metal and construction waste in urban areas.

After all, those things are garbage.

It is not afraid of high temperatures or damage from any other extreme climates.

Using a fully enclosed, insulated compartment of a large truck for transportation seems somewhat extravagant and wasteful.

The open cargo box of the Type I ore transport vehicle is exactly what is needed.

Keep costs to a minimum.

As for gravel bikes, there isn’t much to say about them.

It is simply to enlarge its size proportionally to gain a more efficient ability to crush rocks.

"First, make two new gravel trucks."

"Then we will make four small excavators and a type 1 ore transport vehicle."

Submit new design drawings to artificial intelligence.

Su Wu carefully arranged the first batch of manufacturing tasks for the CNC machine tools and 3D printers.

The new construction vehicles have greatly improved in size and efficiency, which also means that the materials they consume have also increased significantly.

The shelter has currently invested almost all qualified common metal materials into the construction of an industrial equipment recycling center.

The materials available to build the new version of the vehicle are extremely limited.

Therefore, Su Wu had to prioritize the allocation of the number and models of the first batch of production vehicles based on the importance of the task and the efficiency.

"Wait until it's finished manufacturing."

"All gravel trucks will be added to the engineering team to speed up the excavation of the fifth underground space."

"Don't say anything else."

"At least we need to dig out a site for a large warehouse first."

"Then, a small excavator and a type 1 ore transporter."

"Half of them will join the engineering team, and the other half will go out to support the urban scavenging team."

Limited by scale and power supply.

The high-temperature furnace at the recycling center can only melt a dozen to twenty tons of scrap metal a day.

If you need to smelt other different metals and materials, you will have to use other furnaces.

The efficiency is further significantly reduced.

And corresponding to this.

The scrap metal that the scavenging team brings back every day is at least 40 tons. In addition, Su Wu is also working hard to increase the size of the scavenging team in order to compete with other shelters for resources in the ruins of the city.

Back and forth.

The gap will only grow.

So.

Before the accumulated scrap metal fills up the small bunker on the ground, finding a warehouse that can accommodate it becomes the most urgent thing at the moment.

After all, even if it is scrap metal, its value is not low to Su Wu.

It cannot be placed carelessly on the ground or exposed in the sky.

"Just keep going on as planned."

"It won't be long." "We should be able to build a town-level underground shelter."

Su Wu handed over the completed plan to artificial intelligence for execution.

He leaned back against the soft chair and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat relaxed.

And at this time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a strange purple light from the surveillance wall.

Looking up, Su Wu looked towards the source of the light and found that they came from the sky outside the shelter.

The purple light penetrated the haze clouds that were several kilometers thick.

Like gauze woven by a spindle, it hangs down from the sky.

"aurora?"

Su Wu really wanted to describe it this way.

But the purple light in the sky seemed like a dark and bottomless abyss.

When he saw it, he couldn't help but feel a tremor and fear from the bottom of his heart.

That feeling is like an animal encountering its natural enemy.

Or maybe it was like knowing that he was facing radiation, and his whole body and mind were gripped by terror and despair.

At this moment, even though there was no evidence yet, Su Wu still subconsciously determined that this was definitely not a good thing.

Reposition your sitting posture.

Su Wu connected the main screen in front of the console to the surveillance camera on the ground.

Control it to adjust the angle slightly.

Include the horizon and sky further away.

In the broader field of vision, endless purple light descended from the sky, rendering the wilderness slightly discolored.

And at some point, near the mountains on the other side.

A group of unknown birds flapped their wings and took off from the mountains.

Then, not long after they were in the air, they were quickly exhausted by the terribly high temperature in the air and fell back to the ground.

at the same time.

These later birds seemed unaware of what had happened to their predecessors and continued to soar into the sky with all their might.

Until he fell down exhausted and faced the end of his life, there was no change at all.

Su Wu witnessed the whole scene, and a layer of haze unknowingly covered his eyes.

My heart was plagued by an inexplicable strong sense of uneasiness.

After more than ten seconds of silence.

Su Wu then started to move again.

He controlled the surveillance camera and continued to patrol the surface of the shelter.

From the piles of construction waste, to the quietly standing small bunkers, to the shelter exits covered by bunkers.

Finally, he saw a mini transport truck carrying earth and rocks slowly driving out of the bunker, and his eyes moved slightly.

“It’s not safe enough here.”

Su Wu was in deep thought.

Pull out the three-dimensional map of the shelter and place the mouse on the exit passage.

Since the engineering team needs to continuously transport the excavated soil and rocks to the ground, the exit passage of the shelter needs to be opened frequently.

Although it is opened every time to allow the transport vehicle to pass, it will be closed again immediately.

But this cannot withstand too many opening and closing times.

The total accumulated opening time every day is not a small number that can be ignored.

And in this way, if any sudden accident occurs.

For example, a surprise attack by an armed team that could bypass surveillance and lurk at the entrance of the shelter, or various natural disasters that came without warning.

An open door to a shelter could very well become a fatal weakness.
