Chapter 172 Underwater Mobile Base
Chapter 172 Underwater Mobile Base
"The computing power in the shelter has been used to 5.2 bases."
"It's almost reaching the preset maximum value."
"Now, the micro-mechs have also become important computing centers and can no longer go out easily."
"Otherwise, if something unexpected happens to the micro-mech, all rescue operations will be shut down on the spot due to lack of computing power support."
The control center is on the second underground floor of the farmyard.
Su Wu noticed the AI's skyrocketing power consumption and felt a palpable pressure.
Now, his shelter is operating at full capacity.
Next, if some unforeseen accident happened again, he would not have the energy to deal with it.
In addition to the dramatic increase in computing power consumption of artificial intelligence.
The four communication signal towers standing on the surface also became extremely important at this moment.
If any of them fails, it will inevitably affect the rescue team's operations.
The consequences will undoubtedly be a disaster.
"We can send a few construction robots and a few robot dog groups to look after the communication signal tower."
"Besides, there's no need to worry about daily production at this time."
"We can try to mobilize some of the people in the shelters under our control to organize rescue and transfer supplies."
There are so many places that need rescue.
In addition to transferring the survivors, Su Wu also wanted as much rescue supplies as possible.
Under such high demands.
The rescue force consisting solely of transport convoys and spider robots is obviously far from enough.
Therefore, Su Wu turned his attention to the hundreds of thousands of people under his rule.
These people will not occupy the computing power of artificial intelligence and can act autonomously.
Maybe the monomer efficiency is not high.
But their sheer numbers more than make up for it.
He issued orders to mobilize and organize rescue operations to all shelters under his rule.
Su Wu turned his attention to the manufacturing center.
Mobilizing the population and organizing rescue is one aspect.
In addition, mobilization alone is not enough, they must also be provided with supporting tools.
Otherwise, sending more people outside will be of no avail.
They had no way of moving in the heavy rain and flooding.
"Usually the usual supplies like raincoats, life jackets and ropes."
"There are plenty of reserves in the shelter warehouse."
“No need to worry about it.”
“It’s just that the tools to get around are a problem.”
"Those off-road vehicles and buses that use gasoline are definitely unusable."
"According to the current environment outside."
“The best and simplest tool.”
“Probably kayaking.”
He pulled up the inventory lists in each shelter’s supply warehouse and took a quick look.
Then, through the monitoring network previously rebuilt on the surface, a general assessment of the situation in the entire Jianghe city was made.
Su Wu quickly identified the most suitable means of transportation.
That's kayaking.
In terms of security.
Kayaking was not very good.
Especially in today's environment where heavy rains continue and floods are quite severe.
Sending people on kayaks to rescue people has a high chance of a fatal accident.
But kayaks have a simple structure and are fairly easy to produce.
Plus, there is a considerable amount of inventory in the shelter.
It is currently the best means of transportation and the one that can be popularized the fastest on a large scale.
"Just use it."
After closing his eyes and weighing the matter for a few seconds, Su Wu made up his mind.
He knew that with this decision.
In the next few hours, or days.
It is bound to cause many people to die as a result.
The essence of this matter is actually to use the lives of those people in exchange for more supplies and survivors in other shelters.
It is a transaction that uses life as a bargaining chip.
But as long as the result is good for Su Wu, it is a good thing for most people.
That's enough.
However, even if the decision has been made to exchange human lives for resources.
But if possible, Su Wu still wanted to reduce this loss as much as possible.
After arranging the task of manufacturing 200 kayaks as a priority.
Su Wu turned his gaze to the base vehicle parked on the surface of the farmyard.
That huge steel behemoth that had been strengthened and cost him a lot of survival points.
After accompanying him on a 2700-kilometer journey, he never had any chance to play again.
Now, perhaps it could be modified to serve as a rescue force.
"It is too late to continue with major modifications or increase the number of carriages."
"But its waterproof performance is already excellent enough."
"The defense is also strong enough."
“Even in the most dangerous waters, we can still stay firmly rooted in the water.”
"A temporary safe underwater fortress was constructed."
"So, for now, we just need to slightly modify its exit."
"Allowing it to dock with the transporter's carriage in the water."
"Take in the survivors or supplies in the carriage."
"That's all."
After calling up the structural diagram of the base vehicle, Su Wu quickly came up with an idea for modification.
The base vehicle itself can deploy a huge metal base at any time and anywhere.
If we remove some of the unnecessary equipment inside.
For example, various living facilities behind the cab.
All weapons, experimental equipment, etc. in the second and third carriages were cleared out.
The space there is more than enough to temporarily accommodate thousands of people or tens of thousands of tons of supplies.
This will undoubtedly bring huge help to the rescue work that requires every second to count, and it can almost increase the efficiency countless times.
I don’t know how many people were saved.
At the same time, due to the structure of the base vehicle, it is a towing mode similar to a train.
New carriages can be added to the rear almost unlimitedly.
After the initial modification of the exit, the base vehicle was put into rescue operations.
Su Wu could also continue to make new carriages for it at the manufacturing center.
Ensure that the rescue of the base vehicle is not delayed.
Constantly add new space to it so that it can accommodate more people and materials.
"Just do it."
After half an hour.
In the dark Gobi Desert shrouded by heavy rain.
Three engineering robots, plus a large number of auxiliary robots.
Initial modifications to the base vehicle have been completed.
An external interface is added to each of its three carriages.
And at the same time.
The original equipment in the base vehicle.
Except for the cockpit, everything was dismantled.
It became a nearly empty vehicle.
"It's time to go."
Su Wu, who had been paying close attention to the progress.
The moment the modification was completed, the base vehicle was immediately awakened remotely.
Let it set off to the north of Jianghe City ruins.
There was the place with the most serious disaster in the entire Jianghe City.
The deepest water level has reached 6 meters.
