Doomsday disaster: Start by building a shelter

In addition to the supplies on the surface.

The large trucks that were still carrying out transportation tasks outside were relatively less worrying for Su Wu.

The huge steel behemoth weighing more than 20 tons when fully loaded with goods was even safer and more stable than most houses.

However, out of caution, Su Wu also suspended the transportation task of the large truck.

Let it find a leeward alley in the city to stop temporarily.

The third hour after the storm came.

The raging wind not only showed no signs of stopping, but became more violent.

Not far from the alley where the large truck stopped, a four-story house could not withstand the squeezing of the wind and collapsed at a certain moment. Countless debris poured down, instantly blocking the street. Then a large amount of lighter debris and rubble were carried into the air by the strong wind and hit the surrounding buildings like a storm.

At the same time, in the suburbs outside the city.

In the control center underground in the farmyard, Su Wu, who was exchanging information with other shelter owners in the chat group, suddenly found that the network began to be intermittent and the delay was getting higher and higher.

In the end, it was completely disconnected. It was impossible to reconnect to the network.

"It should be that the signal tower was blown down by the wind."

Su Wu checked and quickly found the reason.

The signal tower is not a fortress.

In a storm where brick and stone houses are in danger of overturning, it is very normal for the relatively more fragile signal tower to have problems.

"Trouble."

Su Wu sighed silently.

If it were peacetime, if there was a problem with the signal tower, the worst thing would be post-disaster reconstruction. However, in the end-of-the-world environment now, it is extremely difficult for ordinary workers to even walk out of the shelter. How much spare energy can the official have to repair the signal tower that does not affect basic survival?

The answer is obvious.

If nothing unexpected happens, after this network disconnection, it will not be reopened for a long time in the future, or even until the extinction of mankind.

This evening.

Su Wu stayed alone in the silent control center, staring at the rocky beach under the raging wind on the screen for a long time, and felt an unspeakable loneliness for the first time.

But he couldn't tell anyone about his emotions.

Even the farthest distance he could reach was just the wasteland that was only a few hundred meters away captured by the surveillance camera.

Late at night.

Under the dark sky without a trace of light.

The wind that ravaged the earth weakened.

According to the official news released on the radio, Jianghe City has entered the intermission of the storm, but there is still a high probability of encountering stronger winds in the next two to three hours. Conservative estimates may reach more than level 17.

Level 17 storm.

It is already the highest level in the wind force classification of humans.

A veritable natural disaster.

Su Wu's two-story building on the surface may not survive a storm of that level.

"We must hurry up and rescue the supplies on the ground."

Su Wu, who was a little drowsy, woke up again under the stimulation of this official news.

He suspended all work in the shelter and dispatched the engineering team on the fourth floor underground, the special transport vehicles that had just been manufactured and not yet officially put into use, and all the construction robots to the ground.

Let them urgently move all the materials on the ground into the shelter.

At the same time, he did not forget to order the large trucks that were taking shelter in the urban area of ​​Jianghe City to return to the shelter.

There is a certain risk in rushing now, but compared with the horrible disaster that is about to be faced, this risk is completely within the tolerable range.

"Waste home appliances, pipes and cables, rubber tires, etc. are transferred first."

"Then toilet paper, soap, and plastic products placed in residential buildings."

"Finally, cement and steel."

Open the list of materials temporarily stored on the surface.

Su Wu sorted out the order of transfer of various materials according to their importance.

There is a slightly abnormal phenomenon in this order. As waste home appliances and waste tires with relatively low purchase prices, they are the first to be transferred.

The reason for this arrangement is that they are light in weight and irregular in shape, and are the materials that are most easily swept away by strong winds. On the other hand, they contain a variety of rare metals, which are one of the raw materials necessary for manufacturing a variety of precision machinery in the future.

Without the existence of these waste appliances, it would be quite difficult for Su Wu to produce even one more construction robot. Not to say that it is absolutely impossible to manufacture it, but at least, it will consume a lot more survival points.

Then toilet paper, plastic products, etc., are all consumables that take up a lot of space. They do not require a high storage environment, and it is very uneconomical to put them in a shelter with limited space.

Therefore, most of them were piled up in houses on the ground before.

But this does not mean that they are not important.

Now the situation is urgent. If you don’t want to lose anything, even if you pile them up in the corridor of the living area of ​​the shelter, you must move them all into the shelter.

As for the last cement and steel.

Because there are too many, Su Wu is not sure that he can move them all into the shelter before the 12th level storm comes. He can only move as many as he can.

Surface.

The steel door of the shelter slowly opened.

Five construction robots slowly stepped onto the ground under the light of the passage.

The fierce winds carried fine sand and gravel, hitting their steel bodies, making clusters of noises and making their steps seem a little shaky.

Although it is currently a break in the storm, the average wind speed hovering on the ground is about level eight. Ordinary people are still in great danger in this environment. In addition, even in such a strong wind, the ambient temperature has never been lower than 70 degrees. It is as hot as hell on an alien planet.

The price that ordinary people have to pay to move on such a surface is almost unimaginable.

Fortunately, for robots, as long as the temperature is not high enough to break through the cooling system and burn out the internal electronic components, no matter how bad the environment is, it is not much different from the normal situation.

The construction robots turned on their searchlights and explored the ground for a while.

Soon they gathered towards the location of the waste appliances.

Behind them, two mini transport vehicles and two mini excavators belonging to the engineering team, as well as the newly built special transport vehicles, also drove over.

Three minutes later.

The first mini transporter loaded with old household appliances began to return.

It passed through the path between cement, steel and old garbage, entered the downward passage of the shelter, and then took the spacious lift platform in the shelter to the fourth underground floor.

The breeding factory on the third underground floor of the shelter has officially started operation, and the internal space has been almost fully utilized. There is no room for storage.

It can only make do with the fourth underground floor, which has been excavated for the most part, as a temporary transit warehouse.
