Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

Su Wu perfected the detailed functions and early warning mechanisms of the shelter one by one.

Unconsciously, a complete shelter design drawing that was almost completely isolated from the outside world appeared in his hands.

With anticipation, the design drawing was transferred to the list of pending tasks of the primary artificial intelligence.

Half a second later.

Su Wu received feedback that it would take a total of 1,227 hours to complete these tasks without affecting the expansion process of the shelter.

It was longer than expected.

"Why would it take so long?"

Su Wu was somewhat silent by this unexpected backstab.

He opened the detailed report and found that the main reason was the lack of qualified circuit boards and detector components. In addition, the number of chips in stock was insufficient.

"Qualified circuit boards can be found by picking and modifying the pile of waste products disassembled from old household appliances. The delay is not too much."

"The key is that it is very difficult to manufacture some of the missing chips out of thin air."

Su Wu felt a little tricky.

Although engineering robots are almost omnipotent in terms of function, they are actually only good at mechanical manufacturing, not electronic component manufacturing.

When encountering similar problems before, they usually use survival points to force upgrades.

But that was a helpless move. Now it is just to renovate some less critical places in the shelter, and then rely on survival points to skip, which is a bit too wasteful.

Besides, he can't take out so many survival points for the time being.

"I can only find a way to buy from others."

He didn't intend to waste the productivity of engineering robots on such meaningless low-end chips.

Su Wu thought about it and turned to log on to the Internet. In the doomsday group of Jianghe City, there are also local forums that have posted purchase information.

"Large quantities of chips?"

"This demand is a bit unpopular."

"In this environment, there are few places that can be used."

Because the materials Su Wu chose to pay for were quite attractive, his purchase information quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Many people began to ask him if he had the intention to trade other items.

Su Wu talked to them casually for a while, and didn't find anything urgently needed, so he politely refused.

Now is not a good time to trade.

After all, strictly speaking, the doomsday has only just begun for a day or two. Even without considering the random extreme heat storm, the surface temperature of more than 50 degrees Celsius is not even a fatal disaster. Even ordinary people who are unprepared can move around on the surface for a short time.

Most people have not really adjusted to the mentality of entering the end of the world. When dealing with transactions, they still hold the valuation system of the previous peaceful era.

Time passed in busy exchanges.

Until the afternoon.

A small businessman on the local forum of Jianghe City finally brought useful news to Su Wu.

"Do you have a batch of L3 chips for washing machines?"

"How many are there?"

Su Wu was excited.

Although it is only the level used in washing machines, it is actually a rare mid-to-high-end grade among the chips currently in stock in Su Wu, and its application range is quite wide. It can be said to be a hard currency that can effectively reduce construction time and survival point consumption.

"About 10,000 pieces."

"They are all materials used by a small factory to offset the payment for goods."

"All are new products that have not been opened."

The other party replied in detail.

"If the price is right, I can take care of everything."

"What do you want in exchange?"

Su Wu pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.

The unit price of the chip for the washing machine is not expensive. The normal market price before the doomsday is about 15 yuan. Now after the doomsday, because the market demand is extremely small, the price is basically unlikely to fluctuate.

"Ten kilograms of lettuce, sugar, chocolate, vitamin tablets, and some hemostatic and analgesic drugs."

"Except for lettuce, you can give the quantity of other things, but you must have at least a little of each. The price can be calculated at twice the current market price."

The seller's offer was extremely low. Among them, fresh vegetables accounted for the majority, and the cost for Su Wu was close to zero. Other things, although they were valuable in the doomsday. But considering the double premium, the amount that actually needed to be traded was negligible.

"The price is fine."

"How to trade?"

Knowing that he had taken advantage, Su Wu did not push any further. He simply pushed the transaction process to the next step.

"This--"

"The chip is stored in a warehouse in the suburbs. I can't get out of the official shelter. Can you go get it yourself?"

This time, the seller obviously hesitated for a few seconds before typing out a reply. There was a sense of caution between the lines, as if he was afraid that Su Wu would refuse.

"Do you want to deliver it to your door later?"

"Thank you."

"If the freight is not enough, there are some hardware tools and metal plates in that warehouse. You can take them all as compensation."

After a few simple conversations.

Su Wu raised his eyebrows and did not continue to embarrass the other party.

This kind of thing had long been expected by him.

In the current environment, most people find it difficult to even walk out of the shelter, let alone conduct long-distance transactions across shelters.

In the end, it is inevitable that Su Wu will have to go there in person and act as a courier.

He once again scanned the list of requirements listed by the seller.

The image of an ordinary person who was hurriedly brought into the official shelter and had no connections or status jumped out.

"That's it."

"I will deliver what you want to the door of the official shelter."

After the communication, the address and unlocking code obtained from the seller were saved.

Su Wu stood up and walked to the cabinet placed in the corner of the wall, and took out a hand crossbow with a dark luster. This metal hand crossbow with lethality is the only weapon he has at present. Now that he is going out, he naturally has to take it with him.

However, this alone is still not enough insurance.

Su Wu stood there and thought for a moment. Turning around, he issued a recall order to a construction robot that was working on the third underground floor through the control console.

A few minutes later.

The recalled construction robot came to the door of the control center.

"Take the hand crossbow and this tube of crossbow arrows, and go to the cab of the ground truck to wait for orders."

He personally handed the hand crossbow to the humanoid robot in front of him.

Su Wu watched it turn around and leave, disappearing at the corner of the corridor. He closed the door and went back to sit in front of the console.

No one stipulated that real people must go out.

A medium-sized truck that can be automatically driven, a construction robot that can replace most of the manual labor, and a set of communication and monitoring equipment that can remotely command and communicate in real time.

It is completely sufficient to perform foreign trade tasks.

Of course, there are also disadvantages.

One is that the reaction is not as flexible as that of real people.

Another is that there are only three construction robots in the entire shelter. Almost all of them work around the clock. Occupying one will delay part of the construction task accordingly.

"When the renovation of the second floor of the shelter is over, I can accumulate some survival points."

"Maybe I should consider adding another construction robot."

Su Wu pondered secretly.

The cost of a construction robot is only five survival points. In addition to performing construction and going out tasks, it can also act as a security guard to increase the safety of the shelter. No matter how you look at it, it is quite cost-effective.

While Su Wu was thinking, the construction robot arrived on the ground and entered the cab of the medium-sized truck parked in the yard.

Su Wu sat up straight and remotely connected the data with the medium-sized truck through the console.
