Chapter 118 Bluebird-class transport drone
Chapter 118 Bluebird-class transport drone
7 month 27 day.
The surface temperature has risen slightly compared to yesterday.
The efficiency of geothermal generators in Suwu Shelter, Sentry Base and Mine continues to decrease.
In contrast, the power consumption of all cooling equipment, including central air conditioners, has increased significantly.
This forced Su Wu to rely more on the thermal generators in the Green Lemon Shelter.
In order to facilitate operation in this harsh environment, the electricity from the lime shelter is transmitted to the ruins of the farmyard and the small limestone mine.
Su Wu used the survival point again and added a high-energy battery pack and a Bluebird-class transport drone.
Bluebird-class transport drone.
It is the finished product that Su Wu enhanced by using 5 survival points on a courier-level drone.
This expensive transport drone costs as much as half an engineering robot.
In addition to the basic carrying capacity, which has doubled to 20 kilograms, and the ability to communicate up to 25 kilometers, other basic properties are basically the same as those of express-level drones.
However, in terms of resisting extreme environments, the performance has been subversively improved.
It can fly normally in environments as high as 200 degrees and as low as minus 120 degrees.
And even in strong winds, there is a chance that it will not be affected.
Taken together.
It is a highly targeted special drone designed to work in extreme climates.
"The high-energy battery pack has been fully charged and we are starting to return."
"This route is from Green Lemon Shelter to the Deserted Stone Village Shelter."
There is no top floor of the Lime Shelter left with any survivors.
The mechanical lifting platform slowly sent the silver-white high-energy battery pack and the Bluebird-class transport drone on it into the outside world.
From the body shape.
There is no Bluebird-class drone with a high-energy battery pack as big as it.
Rotating the four rotors on the sides.
After stirring up a cloud of fiery air, it slowly lifted the silver box into the air.
The ruins of a farmhouse, the control center on the second underground floor.
Su Wu sat in front of the control console, silently gazing at the barren land captured by the Bluebird-class transport drone.
Recently he has developed a habit of using transport drones to observe the surface.
It's not because the unchanging land is so attractive.
It's just that it is one of the few opportunities for Su Wu to observe the outside world.
Except for this specially modified transport drone.
The original reconnaissance drone formation is almost unable to operate in this environment.
The cameras located on the surface of the shelter also have a very high failure rate.
Let him just turn them all off temporarily so that there will be no cameras available when he really needs them.
The engineering vehicles at the limestone mine can also provide some video footage.
But since they can only wander around in the mines, the information they provide is more limited.
It can only be said that it is better than nothing.
Eight or nine minutes later.
The Bluebird-class transport drone entered the range of Huangshi Village.
It began to slowly descend onto the roof of the small bunker.
Then the robotic arm on the rooftop separated the drone from the high-energy battery pack.
Then erect the high-energy battery pack on the lifting platform.
This step may seem a bit cumbersome, but it must be done.
Because the area of the drone's lifting platform is not large enough, the high-energy battery pack cannot be placed horizontally on the platform.
The transfer can only be completed by placing it vertically.
I saw that the Bluebird-class drone had completed its return.
Su Wu turned off the video connection with it and returned the console screen to the main page.
On the main page, the three-dimensional map representing the underground structure of the shelter is outlined by countless dark green lines.
On each line, there is a light flowing quietly, sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
That represents all non-static activities inside the shelter.
Electricity transmission, water flow in pipes, air, the operation of various mechanical equipment, various robots, conveyor belts and vehicle movements, etc.
At this moment, these changing lights are consistent with the dark green color of the lines themselves.
It looks pleasing to the eye and has a certain regularity.
It's like a living being breathing normally.
Su Wu's gaze paused on the map.
Every time he saw this panoramic map of the entire shelter, he would feel a sense of accomplishment.
This is the fruit of his hard work, building up bit by bit from scratch in this world.
After passing through the structural map of the shelter, Su Wu's eyes stopped on the surface monitoring map next to it.
In its heyday, this reconnaissance network extended its detection range to 40 kilometers.
Now there are only a few scattered spots of light, still struggling tenaciously.
Most of the others have broken down and gone completely offline due to the extremely high temperatures in the past few days.
This also forced Su Wu to spend a lot of effort to build another signal relay station in the mountains to avoid losing contact with the limestone mine.
"We know too little about the outside world right now."
“I don’t know how long this weather will last.”
Su Wu sighed.
Without the monitoring network, Su Wu now has almost no idea about any changes in the nearby land.
That feeling was terrible.
It's like a blind person walking in an uneven wilderness.
No one knows whether they will step into a pit in the next moment.
Although according to the forecast of the Federal Academy of Sciences.
This extreme heat will only last for a short time.
After that, the entire surface of the planet will enter a long ice age.
But when it comes to the grand issue of using planets and eras as the scale of measurement.
It is doubtful how long this so-called short-term period will last.
In that cycle of evolution that took millions or tens of millions of years.
Even a person's life is as short as floating.
I don’t know how many people there will be in the end.
I can see ice and snow appear on the earth again.
Shake his head.
Put this meaningless association behind you.
Su Wu connected to his own Internet and planned to play some games.
Recently, due to the rapid expansion of the Internet, Su Wu uploaded several online games to the Internet.
A large number of new players were also welcomed.
Having so many people playing with him also allowed Su Wu to have a more enjoyable time.
We even got interested in taking the time to use artificial intelligence to add several new expansion packs to these games.
And this action.
It also caused a huge sensation among the entire gaming community, even among non-gaming groups, and even in real-life shelters.
This is not a time of peace, but the end of the world.
Even when their survival was in jeopardy, they were still able to allocate a large amount of manpower and resources to update the game.
The feeling it gave people was no longer surprise, but horror.
People cannot imagine how strong the confidence is needed to support such extravagant behavior.
Do they really live in the same world?
