Chapter 86: A Well-Defended Shelter
Chapter 86: A Well-Defended Shelter
"For now."
"With the cab and the lead plate blocking it, even wearing those inferior radiation protection suits, it is still possible to stay on the surface near the city for several hours."
"But if it takes longer, it will just depend on luck."
Su Wu made a summary.
This is good news for those shelters. They can still transport supplies by ground transportation, but the cost is slightly higher.
For drivers, the situation may be better, but certainly not much better.
The shelter will take away most of this benefit.
For example, they were originally scheduled to drive for an hour and then go back to rest. Now it will be extended to more than six hours. Basically, the arrangement is based on the lethal dose of radiation.
Even in many shelters where supplies are scarce.
Even lead sheets and inferior protective clothing may not be available, so the transport workers can only bear the consequences themselves.
At the same time, there is good news and naturally bad news.
These radiations that appear on the ground are not constant or follow some fixed growth law.
After passing the initial ten minutes of the outbreak phase and entering the stable period.
At regular intervals, areas of different radiation intensities will be randomly exchanged.
If you have bad luck.
Even if you park your car and stay where you are, you may be in a mild area with low radiation one moment and in a deadly area with high radiation the next.
The main focus is randomness and excitement.
at this time.
The data transmitted on the main console screen showed a significant decrease.
Su Wu Click to view details.
It was discovered that some of the communication relays were interfered with and were temporarily offline from the monitoring network.
"The wireless interference is still coming."
Su Wu sighed, the expected predicament came as expected. Although he had been mentally prepared, he still felt a little regretful.
Fortunately, there is a communication signal tower erected on the small bunker.
It seems that after the survival point was strengthened, the anti-interference ability was greatly enhanced. It was not affected by the radiation storm.
It is still providing high-speed network stably to the surrounding areas within a radius of 15 kilometers.
Su Wu casually checked the social software on his own network.
Perhaps because the time was too short, those who really knew the situation were still busy dealing with related matters.
The arrival of the radiation storm did not cause much noise there.
Most people are still discussing the aurora in the sky, the video of continuous rocket launches shot by a driver at the ruins of a farmyard, daily life in the shelter, etc.
There are even quite a few people who are still immersed in the game, fighting tirelessly with other players and AI.
"In a way, this can be considered peace."
Su Wu felt a little comfort in his heart. This small spiritual shelter he built still retained some of the atmosphere of the prosperous times in this cruelest time.
Taking his attention back, Su Wu switched the screen to the ground.
on the ground.
As the number of participants decreased, the ruins of the farmyard showed signs of returning to silence.
Su Wu still felt a little bit reluctant after all.
The moment he noticed the radiation storm coming, he immediately dismissed the engineering vehicles that were still working on the surface and helping to unload the cargo.
Instead, his own mini excavator and transporter took over.
And for those truck drivers who stay here temporarily, some special lead plates are provided to reduce the impact of radiation on them.
Of course, that was all he could do.
Even when those truck drivers leave, the lead sheets provided will be taken back and used to shelter the next batch of drivers who arrive. "Remove the system."
"I am just one of the many people in the world."
"I hope you can survive."
He silently watched the people working on the ground for a while and made a rough assessment of the radiation dose they might be exposed to.
Su Wu switched the surveillance and continued to patrol various places inside the shelter.
Due to sufficient preparation in advance.
The entire shelter was not affected by the radiation storm at all.
Even the most dangerous place in theory is the vertical lift platform leading to the ground on the 5th underground floor.
This is also because it adopts a multi-stage isolation mode. That is, every time the cargo platform descends a certain distance, the lower isolation door will not open until the upper isolation door is closed.
As a result, the radiation level inside is always maintained at an extremely low level.
Plus after the goods arrive at the 5th floor.
It will first pass through a special disinfection room for careful cleaning.
In the end, there will be basically no residual radiation, and you will be able to enter the 5th floor warehouse.
"Level 5 should be safe enough."
Su Wu secretly said.
However, it was impossible for him to enter the 5th underground floor in person in a short period of time.
No matter how safe it looks, it cannot be denied that a large amount of materials from the outside world frequently come in. Maybe some dangerous materials will be missed one day and hit him hard.
It starts from the moment the radiation storm hits.
Su Wu had to be wary of all external resources.
We can no longer rashly come into direct contact with them.
After all, anything is possible with Fallout.
And under the guidance of this idea.
When Su Wu was painting the shelter with anti-radiation paint, he even considered the floor between the 4th and 5th floors as part of the exterior walls.
Used to prevent the extremely small possibility of dangerous radioactive materials appearing on the 5th floor.
Confirmed that Layer 5 is now normal and secure.
Su Wu continued to inspect the fourth underground level of the shelter.
As the CNC machine tools and 3D printers are operating at full capacity, a new micro-mech has been added that requires additional power.
The recycling center located here has to temporarily stop operating.
Cool down the high-temperature furnace, which is a major electricity consumer and has already heated up.
At this time, the entire 4th floor was quite quiet. Only the makeshift chemical laboratory was still lit, preparing radiation-proof paint.
Although Su Wu no longer needs anti-radiation paint for the time being.
But this stuff has almost no shelf life anyway, so it's always a good idea to make some extra for backup.
Level 3 breeding factory.
In the incubator, the scheduled program is still diligently taking care of the individually placed chicken eggs and duck eggs.
These are naturally born and carefully selected breeding eggs.
Calculating the time, they will hatch in a few days.
By then, because of the arrival of these little lives, the breeding factory will probably become the busiest floor in the shelter.
In the fish pond next to it, the fastest-growing fish among the first batch of fish released had more than doubled in size. However, it would still take a long time for them to be ready for grilling.
