Chapter 168: City in the Water

Compared to the spider robots that brought significant improvements in combat power and productivity to the Suwu Shelter.

Service humanoid robots seem a bit like a bonus.

It is based on the skeleton of a construction robot and adds a bionic shell made of resin, metal coating, etc.

It looks more anthropomorphic and has a more modern technological aesthetic.

But the actual performance improvement is close to zero.

Even because of the addition of an unnecessary and easily damaged shell, its practicality is slightly reduced.

However, this is still a relatively important breakthrough.

From a positioning perspective, service humanoid robots do not need to perform overly complex tasks.

You only need to participate in daily patrols in the shelter, carry light items, simple repairs and other activities.

Therefore, there is no need to use survival point enhancement.

The computing power required for daily operations can be temporarily provided by artificial intelligence.

Their appearance.

It can replace construction robots to complete more than 80% of tasks.

Let the expensive construction robots, whose current cost is still as high as 2 survival points, concentrate on completing the remaining 20% ​​of more complex and difficult tasks.

In terms of overall efficiency, this is equivalent to increasing the working capacity of each construction robot by approximately 5 times.

And, these service humanoid robots.

They can also be deployed to other shelters to replace manual labor in some key areas and important material warehouses.

Reduce the possibility of accidents.

"besides."

"No matter how strong the robot dog's fighting ability is."

"It just looks like a dog."

"After all, the feeling that humanoid robots bring to people is somewhat different."

"The governance of the shelter should be more stable and smoother in the future."

The human heart seems somewhat illusory, but it does exist.

After having a direct lineage of service humanoid robots.

In the eyes of the residents of the shelter he rules, Su Wu may no longer be an image that only exists on the Internet and is close to artificial intelligence.

Instead, he is a true ruler who has his own army and can extend his will to every corner of the refuge.

That is what is called having a legitimate name.

Only after enjoying the benefits of large-scale deployment of spider robots and service humanoid robots.

Su Wu also needed to pay attention to an issue that he had previously neglected.

That's cybersecurity.

Su Wu's artificial intelligence is a primary artificial intelligence based on a super laptop computer.

In terms of hardware performance.

There is not much difference between it and the world's top supercomputers.

Therefore, in theory.

As long as someone's technical level is high enough, he can reversely invade artificial intelligence by covering the entire Jianghe City's network.

Even if we cannot ultimately seize control of artificial intelligence, we can still affect its normal operation.

This actually means that someone can attack Su Wu from another level at any time.

And it is also likely to cause real harm in reality.

For example, spider robots and service humanoid robots controlled by artificial intelligence may crash or even rebel.

Once this happens.

At that time, Su Wu, who was highly dependent on these two types of robots to maintain the operation of the shelter, would inevitably suffer a heavy blow.

At the very least, a large amount of supplies will be lost.

In serious cases, the entire shelter may be in danger of being scrapped.

"Network firewall."

Su Wu thought about it and felt a little at a loss as to where to start.

He has not yet delved deeply into these areas.

If it weren’t for this time, the two newly added robots would be too dependent on artificial intelligence.

He wouldn't consider this issue either.

"Just start learning from the beginning."

"It probably won't take too much time anyway."

June 8, afternoon.

Just when Su Wu developed two new robots, heavy rain continued for several days.

Finally, it brought the first huge disaster to the surface of the earth.

A huge mudslide poured down from the mountains.

It roared and rushed all the way to the edge of Jianghe City.

More than a dozen shelters of all sizes along the way were buried under more than ten meters thick mud.

As a result, tens of thousands of people were in danger of hypoxia.

The thick mud not only blocked the exit of the shelter, but also blocked the ventilation ducts.

So that they can no longer exchange air with the outside world normally.

And at the same time.

The once dry riverbed was also filled with rainwater that fell over the past few days.

A large amount of river water began to gradually overflow the dam and gathered towards the low-lying areas little by little.

The ruins of several villages have become lakes.

8 month 25 day.

The flooding became more serious.

A large amount of water began to accumulate in some of the urban ruins of Jianghe City.

The deepest point even reaches about three meters.

It can already be called a real flood.

An increasingly severe environment.

Let Su Wu hide in a safe and clean shelter, concentrating on studying and researching.

I had to turn my attention to the surface again.

"The situation has become so serious."

Through a surveillance camera installed on a building.

When Su Wu saw Jianghe City at this time, it was almost like an isolated island in the flood.

All roads leading out of the city have been submerged by the raging floods.

The situation is not much better within the city.

The large amount of rainwater that could no longer be discharged gradually flooded the low-lying buildings.

Then it spreads towards the high ground.

Almost every hour, the water level around the city rises half a meter.

At this rate.

One more day at most.

The entire Jianghe City will be completely submerged in the flood.

All shelters will officially be underwater.

"The scavenger caravan and spider robot are out."

"Come back for now."

Although at this time, the flood spread to the urban area.

For the time being, there is no threat to the waterproofed scavenger teams and spider robots.

But consider the huge kinetic energy generated by the surging flood.

Su Wu decided to retreat and avoid the situation first.

After all, no matter how waterproof they are, they are just mechanical equipment on land.

In this environment, there are some professional mismatches.

Received Su Wu's order.

More than two dozen spider robots were working on higher ground, carrying some of the last metal materials they had picked up.

Get on the ten scavenger trucks parked not far away.

In the heavy rain, we drove slowly out of the city.

While driving.

The rising rain water on the ground began to gradually submerge the convoy.

till the end.

Looking from the outside, even the trace of this convoy can no longer be seen.

Can only be seen through those turbid waters.

I found that there was still some light from the car lights, moving slowly forward under the water.
