Chapter 126 Border Exploration
Chapter 126 Border Exploration
The last day of July.
The surface temperature hovered steadily around 92 degrees.
The high temperature that had existed in the air for a long time began to radiate to every corner of Jianghe City in a more violent manner.
As for the shelter located underground.
In addition to the central air conditioner which needs to be maintained hard and consumes more electricity.
We also have to face a more worrying reality.
The groundwater that was originally used daily has begun to show signs of depletion.
They had to dig their wells deeper to find dwindling water sources.
Su Wu's refuge also needs to face this problem.
It is only because there is a newly built reservoir with a water storage capacity of 6000 tons for central regulation.
The actual impact is not significant.
However, Su Wu still inevitably felt a sense of crisis.
It looks like there is no problem for now.
But what should we do if there is another super earthquake and the reservoir collapses?
"Perhaps, it's time to consider the issue of long-distance transportation."
There is so much water on the entire planet, it is impossible for it to all disappear out of thin air.
If the water source here decreases, then the reduced part will definitely appear in another distant place.
And Su Wu actually doesn't need too much water.
Relying on the enhanced purification and filtration equipment at the survival point, it is only necessary to transport a dozen tons of water back as a basis to meet the daily needs of the entire shelter.
Even if experimental and industrial production needs are added.
At most, we can transport it a few more times and it will be enough.
"Besides, since we all need to go far away."
“It’s a bit of a waste just to haul water.”
"It's always worthwhile to collect more resources along the way."
An idea that has been shelved in the past because it was too expensive.
It appeared in Su Wu's mind again.
And just then.
Outside the shelter.
The only camera still in normal operation is responsible for monitoring the surface environment.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of an unusual phenomenon.
It found that in just a few seconds, the gray clouds that filled the sky suddenly increased several times in brightness.
The shelter's artificial intelligence analyzed this and found it to be abnormal.
Immediately and automatically activate more surveillance cameras and other detection equipment.
Take a deeper look at anomalies in the sky.
At the same time, a warning was sent to Su Wu.
"There's something strange happening in the sky again."
When Su Wu received the news, his heart tightened.
The last aurora was not long ago.
The radiation it brought still lingers on the surface and has become a nightmare for many people.
As a result, a new catastrophe is now coming.
Are we going to let people survive?
I don't feel like thinking about anything else.
Su Wu connected the main screen of the console to the monitoring system on the surface.
Personally start to face the first scene of this change.
It's okay to say goodbye.
soon.
A meteor, so bright that it was almost blinding, broke through the heavy clouds.
Appeared in the surveillance camera.
Then, less than half a second later.
The light flickering on the meteor became stronger.
The ground and the clouds in the sky were painted with a fiery color.
"It can cause such a commotion."
"Its diameter may be more than 1 kilometer."
Su Wu was extremely distressed.
He had never seen a meteor that could cause such a huge noise. In the end times, this was not a good thing.
It often means a catastrophe like the collapse of heaven and earth.
Under Su Wu's worried gaze.
The meteor drew a long trail and disappeared at the end of the distant horizon.
Ultimately, no unusual changes were brought about.
Just when Su Wu felt slightly relieved.
He found that a new task displayed in gold font had been refreshed in the system's daily task bar at some point.
"A golden mission actually appeared."
For a moment, Su Wu almost thought he was dazzled.
According to the level classification of daily tasks, gold tasks belong to level 4 tasks.
The probability of getting it is less than one in ten thousand.
If your luck is a little average, you may not see a golden task in a century.
To some extent, a mission of this level can be considered a once-in-a-century opportunity.
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.
Su Wu opened the task carefully and checked it.
[Frontier Exploration (Gold): Go 2700 kilometers away and collect data and debris at the place where the asteroid fell. During the mission, the parallel multiplier of the natural disaster will be increased by an additional 50%. The mission period is 15 days. Mission reward, material converter - Golden Balance.]
[Golden Balance: This is an interstellar treasure created by a powerful civilization that once ruled the starry sky. You can use gold and silver to exchange for any other metal elements according to a certain ratio.]
Limited time additional 50% survival point multiplier bonus, material converter.
These are the two specific rewards from the quest.
Su Wu quickly calculated in his mind.
Based on the current stable multiplier of 0.03, this additional bonus can bring him about 1.5 more survival points every day.
The entire mission lasted 15 days.
In other words, as long as he takes on this task, even if he does nothing, he can still earn at least 22 survival points.
And another reward is the material converter.
It's even more outrageous.
As long as there is enough gold or silver, it can be exchanged for any other metal element.
What is this concept?
Uranium, the raw material for making nuclear bombs, is also a metal element.
This means that Su Wu just needs to get the matter converter.
Try making a nuclear bomb.
Of course, it can also be used to build and operate nuclear power plants.
However, the value of gold and silver itself is not low.
One gram of uranium is equivalent to the energy of burning 2.5 tons of coal.
Even if Su Wu really built a nuclear power plant in the later period, it would not mean obtaining nearly unlimited electricity due to limited raw materials.
At most, the electricity resources may be hundreds or thousands of times more than at present.
“This mission must be accomplished.”
Realize the importance of material converters.
Su Wu became determined to succeed in this mission.
As long as I can complete this golden mission and get the Matter Converter, it will be worth it even if I have to throw away everything I have and start from scratch.
But, you have to make up your mind.
How to complete the task specifically is a difficult problem.
A distance of 2700 kilometers.
Even before the end of the world, it was still extremely far away.
After the end of the world, it is very difficult to move across urban areas.
It is even more difficult to cross such a long distance.
At the very least, it is definitely not something that Su Wu can easily accomplish in a short period of time by driving a micro mecha.
at this time.
This was a thought that popped into Su Wu's mind not long ago.
Become more clear.
Perhaps he could try to build a base vehicle large enough.
To complete this mission across a distance of 2700 kilometers.
