Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

And just when things were turbulent in reality and on the Internet.

Central Dongzhou.

Suburban Jianghe City.

Su Wu hid in the bedroom of his own courtyard, and was in the mood to browse various forums.

Perhaps the evacuation and resettlement of tens of millions of people attracted a considerable amount of official attention.

The information that was originally strictly controlled has now spread a lot on the Internet.

Su Wu even saw several disaster investigation reports from within the Federation.

According to the investigation report.

It is certain that in the next month to one and a half months, the global average temperature will rise to more than 60 degrees, and the highest may reach about 100 degrees. The surface will no longer be suitable for ordinary people to live.

"There is at least one month left."

This is not good news, but it is not bad.

At least, knowing a clear deadline is better than knowing nothing about the future.

Su Wu thought about it carefully. Calculated that according to the current construction progress, the second and third underground floors should be completed by then, and moving in and living will not be a problem.

This made him feel much more at ease.

It was confirmed that there was no problem with the construction progress of the shelter.

Su Wu suddenly became a bit idle again.

The construction of the shelter was in the charge of the engineering team and the primary artificial intelligence, so he didn't need to intervene. The only thing he could do was to contact and trade with the outside world, or to find out some information.

After thinking about it, Su Wu opened the chat group.

At this time, the doomsday chat group was like an ant nest that had exploded, with dozens of new messages popping up every second. All the group members who were online couldn't help but jump out and say a few words. Expressing their shock at the major event of the transfer of tens of millions of people along the coast.

However, after the initial excitement, the content in the chat group was not all meaningless nonsense.

Su Wu saw several local tyrants who seemed to have shelters in their hands, trying to buy some scarce resources.

Of course.

In the current environment where the news of the impending doomsday is almost semi-public.

Few people would use cash transactions anymore, and basically they would barter.

"There are a lot of excavators and electric picks and hammers in the vicinity of Jianghe City."

"We can trade with steel, rubber, and food. We'll discuss the details."

Swiping down the chat history, a purchase message caught Su Wu's attention.

He is in Jianghe City and has the ability to manufacture excavators, which meets the conditions for the transaction. And steel, as one of the main raw materials for building shelters and manufacturing various mechanical equipment, is undoubtedly a strategic resource that he will never have too much of.

Su Wu found the other party for a private chat.

"Will you take the micro excavator?"

After asking, Su Wu sent a few pictures of the micro excavator, specific parameters, etc.

"Yes."

"20 tons of primary processed steel, in exchange for a micro excavator. I want as many as I can."

The other party replied quickly, and it can be seen that he was quite anxious.

According to the normal market price in the past, the price of one ton of primary processed steel was about 12,000 yuan.

20 tons is almost equivalent to the value of 8 micro excavators.

Now it is only used to exchange for one, which is obviously a lot of concessions.

But this is normal.

After all, steel is just raw material. It takes time to digest it, and not everyone can use it. Excavators are currently in short supply of survival tools. They can really be used to expand the living space of the shelter.

For some forces that got the news very late but want to build a shelter.

It is completely worth paying a lot of money to get it.

"Is there any scrap iron?"

Su Wu did not rush to agree and continued to ask.

For him, there is not much difference between scrap iron and preliminarily processed steel. But their prices are very different. Every bit saved is a bit saved.

"Yes, but the quantity is not much."

"There are only two or three hundred tons of scrap iron in the warehouse. If you want it, you can exchange it for one hundred tons."

"And you have to find someone to come to our factory to pull it back."

The general truck has a load capacity of only about five tons. More than two hundred tons requires at least dozens of trips.

It didn't matter in the past.

But now that every bit of manpower and every bit of fuel are extremely precious.

This is not a service that can be easily given away.

"Okay."

"I will exchange three micro excavators for all your scrap iron in stock. If there is not enough, you can convert it into primary processed steel for me in proportion."

Su Wu thought about it and decided to buy all the scrap iron.

As for the trading items, the micro excavators in the engineering team are naturally not allowed to move. Nothing can affect the construction progress of the shelter. Moreover, the trading does not require such advanced versions. A diesel version of the micro excavator for two survival points is enough to meet the conditions.

The deal is done.

It is agreed that the delivery will start tomorrow.

Su Wu switched back to the console on the laptop.

Let the engineering robot temporarily put down the task at hand and start to make three micro excavator models first.

Then he got up and went downstairs and strolled to the simple garage in the yard.

Now even the real local tycoons who can build shelters by themselves lack the ability to transport and deliver goods. Su Wu, who is already short of money, naturally can't easily hire drivers and trucks.

If you want to solve the transportation problem, you can only find a way to get a truck yourself and then haul the goods yourself.

There aren't any nice cars in the garage.

There is only a second-hand van used to collect gasoline and a second-hand tractor used to collect diesel.

After taking one look at the van, Su Wu quickly gave it up.

The van has a load capacity of only one ton and a small space, making it unsuitable for transporting bulk cargo.

In comparison, a second-hand tractor with a large body hanging on the back.

On the contrary, it is more durable and can haul more goods.

[Agricultural two-wheel drive tractor]

[Speed: 32 km/h]

[Fuel consumption: 7 liters/hour]

[Load capacity: 3 tons]

[Upgradable direction: integrated truck (diesel version) (3 survival points), integrated truck (electric drive version) (5 survival points)]

[Upgradeable sub-options: armor, off-road, speed, battery life, temperature insulation, radiation resistance, purification, electronic information. 】

Perhaps it is a large piece of equipment, or perhaps it is a complete and usable finished product.

After Su Wu focused his attention on the tractor.

On the attribute list that popped up in his field of vision, there was an additional row of upgradeable sub-options that he had never seen before.

One or more of the specified additional attributes can be selected to add additional functions to the upgraded tractor.

Su Wu thought for a while and selected armor among the many sub-options.

This choice cost him 3 extra survival points, and he also had to invest another two tons of steel raw materials.

As for the main upgradeable directions.

There is no doubt that it is an electric-driven version of the unibody truck.

Suwu is not short of electricity now, but it is short of diesel and gasoline. If you use the latter, the vehicle will have to lie down after a few trips, which has no practical value at all. On the contrary, when using electricity, you can run wherever you want, and the transportation cost is almost zero.
