Chapter 83 Expensive Paint Costs

In stealth mode, Su Wu returned to his own shelter silently.

Bring the Micro-Mech to the Control Center and connect it to the shelter's wireless charging network to slowly charge it.

Su Wu jumped out of the cockpit and sat down in front of the console.

Returning to this familiar environment again, Su Wu felt as if he had just returned from a long trip and saw the furnishings at home.

After calming himself down a bit, he began to check the condition of the shelter.

This was helped by the help of engineering machinery coming from many large shelters.

Special transport vehicles that were originally responsible for unloading, as well as excavators responsible for compacting and packing scrap metal, have all been freed up.

They can return to the scavenging team and engineering team and continue their original work.

However, at this point in time, the earliest time for a possible radiation storm to arrive is less than 24 hours.

Continuing to go out is likely to face unpredictable risks.

In addition, Su Wu now obtained a lot of resources by selling radiation detectors. For the time being, he did not care about the income from scavenging in the urban area.

Why not just disband the scavenging team?

Remove all the temporary covers and weapons installed on the special transport vehicle and let it join the sequence of excavating the underground space.

As for the surface.

There is the prestige gained from the battle not long ago.

There is no need to retain too much military force.

Leaving behind two Ore-1 modified armored vehicles for patrol, and sending a few armed construction robots to maintain order and receive supplies. That was enough.

Then the production aspect.

After completing the micro mecha.

The next project Su Wu chose was to make a series of experimental equipment to facilitate the preparation of radiation-proof coatings.

These experimental equipments are complex in process, require a wide variety of raw materials, and are quite expensive.

Two days ago, Su Wu would not have been able to make it even if he had a CNC machine tool and a 3D printer.

But now, after other large shelters have been transporting supplies for more than 20 hours without interruption, these are no longer a problem.

At this stage.

Or the supply reserves in his shelter for the next few days.

Everyone will be in a relatively abundant stage and can spend money at will without worry.

"It will take about 12 hours to make all the relevant equipment."

“Plus the time for installation and commissioning.”

"About 14 hours at the latest, you can start preparing the radiation protection paint."

“It’s not too late.”

Su Wu calculated silently and found that although the schedule was full, as long as there were no accidents, it should be completed before the radiation storm came.

And mentioned the preparation of coatings.

He suddenly remembered that one of the main materials for making anti-radiation paint, fluorescent powder, was still in the official shelter warehouse and had not been taken out.

However, this was just a minor episode.

Just send two construction robots to drive a large truck to pick up the goods.

With artificial intelligence taking care of things, Su Wu doesn't need to worry about anything.

Finished taking care of everything that needed attention.

Su Wu let out a breath, pressed his tired forehead, and prepared to go back to the bedroom to rest for a while.

While there is still time, get a good night's sleep.

Wait until you wake up tomorrow.

If you are unlucky, you will probably have to go through another sleepless night.

7 month 16 day.

When Su Wu had just woken up after a good sleep.

The top elites in other shelters in Jianghe City.

Still busy.

Because the disaster could come as early as tonight. The proportion of valuable items in the materials they used to purchase Su Wu radiation detectors began to increase significantly.

So that the transaction can be completed as quickly as possible using less transportation capacity.

After all, purchasing a radiation detector is only one of the first steps.

It will take some time to distribute the equipment, train the workers and so on. After the training is completed, the workers will be dispatched to the ground.

There will be a lot of new things waiting for them to solve.

Threats on the ground.

Far more than the invisible radiation that may appear in the future.

High temperatures are also a problem that is not so easy to overcome.

And this problem is right in front of us, and we cannot treat it perfunctorily like radiation.

If the cooling measures provided are not effective enough, workers staying on the ground will show signs of dehydration and heat stroke in minutes.

Su Wu didn't have any worries in this regard.

On the one hand, the labor force he has available now is all robots and smart devices. On the other hand, he only took on the inspection area outside his own shelter. The pressure he faces is very small.

The reason why he was only responsible for such a small number of areas was not because he looked down on the contribution value of the monitoring task reward.

Rather, the appearance of radiation is generally very likely to be accompanied by strong or weak signal interference.

What if we lose contact with the equipment on the ground?

Those shelters that mainly rely on man-made resources are still okay, but Su Wu’s are a lot of fun.

Even if we wanted to rescue him, we couldn't find anyone to help.

After eating breakfast, you can have lunch.

Su Wu came to the control center.

At first glance, I saw in the surveillance video that the number of vehicles appearing near the ruins of the farmyard was more than half less than yesterday.

Most of the engineering vehicles that came to help had already left by this time.

——They need to set up various temporary living stations in the monitoring areas on the ground for their own shelters.

Take a seat at the console.

After checking the recent material delivery list, Su Wu understood this phenomenon clearly.

Although there are fewer vehicles on the ground, the total value of the materials transported has increased a lot.

If nothing goes wrong, before 5pm.

Not to mention today, even in the next two days, the materials needed to purchase radiation detectors can be almost all delivered.

This is also a good thing for Su Wu.

Of the same value, valuable items take up much less space than scrap metal.

There is no need to dig out new warehouses for storage.

The manufacturing center and the warehouse attached to the recycling center on the fourth underground floor are enough to accommodate them all.

3 pm.

The manufacturing center has completed the manufacture of all relevant equipment for the chemical laboratory.

Two engineering robots worked together to carry out the final assembly and debugging of these equipment in a factory building originally intended for repairing large vehicles and mechanical equipment, next to the recycling center on the 4th underground floor.

And just wait until debugging is completed.

Several construction robots that had been standing nearby immediately began to put the raw materials into the production line.

More than 20 minutes later.

Su Wu got the first bucket of about 10 liters of anti-radiation paint.

"Just a little."

“Don’t take into account the cost of building a chemistry lab.”

"The raw materials used to make the paint alone are worth 20 contribution points."

Looking at the light green, paste-like anti-radiation paint.

Su Gu compared the raw material consumption list and had only one thought in his mind.

That's expensive.
