Chapter 1 Shelter from Scratch
"Hello, please sign for the express delivery."
suburbs.
Outside the dilapidated farmyard.
The courier unloaded several heavy cardboard boxes from the electric tricycle.
Su Wu took the pen, glanced at the carton a few times to make sure there was no bump, then lowered his head to sign the express order.
"Are you planning to build a shelter here?"
“I bought so many tools.”
While Su Wu was checking the courier, the courier asked curiously.
"Have you heard that doomsday rumor too?"
Su Wu raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.
"Of course, we are discussing this matter in our work group today."
“There are many things on the market now that are expensive and hard to buy.”
"There must have been something wrong that caused the state to secretly control it."
"Maybe the end is coming soon."
There was a hint of worry in the courier's words. The apocalypse is no joke. Ordinary people have no way to fight against it if they encounter it.
"It makes sense."
Su Wu nodded seriously.
"But there's no need to worry. If something happens, the country will definitely take care of us so that we won't be unable to survive."
"I hope so."
The courier sighed, still not looking good. The state may take action, but the quality of life at that time is uncertain.
A parallel world of Earth.
All continents were brought under a unified federal government.
Technology is far ahead of the world before Su Wu traveled through. There are even faint signs of breakthroughs in controllable nuclear fusion.
It can be said that we have arrived on the eve of the era of interstellar navigation and colonization.
But all good prospects.
None of them can withstand the end of the world. Whether human civilization still has a future is a big question mark.
Carry the express boxes into the yard one by one.
Su Wu carefully locked the door and looked around.
He was in a rather large courtyard. Except for a two-story old house in the east corner. Other places are filled with cement, sand, angle iron, steel bars, cans, plastic bottles, various used household appliances, tires, etc.
If an unsuspecting outsider comes in, they will definitely think that this is a waste recycling station.
Commonly known as rag pickers.
In fact, it's pretty much the same.
Most of the things in the yard are the results of Su Wu's wholesale purchases from various waste recycling stations in the city in the past half month.
Su Wu spent a total of 6 million in cash for this purpose.
Don’t think it’s too expensive.
Not to mention other things, just look at the more than 3,000 tons of various scrap metals with the highest value.
No matter how shabby it is, the price of a pound of iron is still sixty or seventy cents. The most expensive steel bars of better quality can even cost more than a kilogram per piece.
It can be bought for 6 million. It was already the reward of Su Wu's careful planning and hard work for many days.
"A house."
"In exchange for these things."
Su Wu felt a surge of emotion in his heart, he couldn't tell whether it was regret or melancholy.
When he traveled through time more than half a month ago.
I am living in a residential building in the city center of a first-tier coastal city.
That was the only property left to him by his parents in this world.
At the same time, he still has 2 million yuan in compensation after his parents were killed in a car accident.
If, if there is no apocalypse.
With the house and these compensations. Su Wu could even live a lifetime without working and live a carefree life that he could only imagine in his dreams in his previous life.
But there is no if.
After the apocalyptic survival system that traveled with him was activated.
Su Wu, who learned that the end of the world was coming, immediately sold the house where he settled down. Taking the money and compensation, he hurried to an ordinary city on high ground in the middle of the mainland.
Jianghe City.
He rented the small farmhouse where he currently lives in the suburbs.
It is planned to build a shelter on the spot to deal with the coming doomsday disaster.
"It's still too late."
"If only I could travel through time earlier."
“Maybe we can even find an abandoned underground air-raid shelter.”
"That would be much better than now."
Su Wu was not too satisfied with this small courtyard.
The most ideal location for building a shelter is an underground air raid shelter or a cave in the mountains. Not only does it have a large space, it also saves most of the construction costs.
But it was a pity that when Su Wu tried to search for relevant information.
These were once untouched places. Either they have been recruited and occupied by the government, or they were sold early.
So much so that Su Wu searched the Internet for more than ten hours without sleep, but couldn't find any suitable place.
As a last resort.
I can only settle for the next best thing and choose this yard. Build a shelter from scratch.
I can't take advantage of the advantages, but at least the surrounding environment is safe and the prices are low.
Much better than first-tier cities by the sea.
A phone rang.
Su Wu took out his cell phone from his pocket and connected it.
"Boss Su, your basement construction application has been approved."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I sent you the license file on WeChat."
On the phone, the agent's excited voice came.
"Thank you."
"I will send you the balance after confirmation."
Su Wu said in a calm voice.
Order is still there.
Even in remote suburbs.
If you want to excavate the land and build an underground shelter, it is not something you can do just by digging. It must first obtain government approval.
In order to be able to pass the application, Su Wu. In addition to signing a 20-year lease contract for the farmhouse, he also paid a total of 50,000 yuan to find an agency to help.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly and it didn't take too long.
Just arrived now.
“The boss is refreshing.”
Hang up the phone.
Su Wu continued to carry several express boxes at his feet into the room.
In the living room on the first floor, on the cleaned solid wood table, Su Wu carefully opened one of the cardboard boxes. A pair of robotic arms about 70 centimeters long, which were wrapped in layers of plastic foam, were carefully taken out.
“The materials used are very solid and the joints are very flexible.”
After a little inspection, Su Wu was quite satisfied.
It is indeed a high-end product with a unit price of up to 16,000 yuan. All workmanship is above the standard.
Even though he was satisfied, Su Wu still couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Although the quality of this kind of robotic arm cannot be said, it could have been bought for up to 8,000 yuan a month ago. Not only has the price doubled, but there are also purchase restrictions. After Su Wu bought the few sets in his hand, he could no longer buy them.
But now is not the time to consider these issues.
Concentrate a little.
General Su aimed his gaze at a mechanical arm on the table.
A curtain of light that only he could see popped up in his field of vision.
[Neat and neat ordinary robotic arm. 】
[Fitness: 90%. 】
[Evaluation: This is a qualified robotic arm that can be used to do simple production operations. 】
[Upgrade direction: Industrial Robotic Arm I Universal Hand (1 survival point), Industrial Robotic Arm II high-frequency oscillating cutting knife (1 survival point), Industrial Robotic Arm III high-energy melting laser transmitter (2 survival points)]
My eyes stay on the third option.
Su Wu thought slightly and made a choice.
"Selected upgrade direction, industrial robot arm III high-energy melting laser emitter."
A glimmer of light flashed on the mechanical arm.
The robotic arm instantly took on a new look, becoming shinier and stronger. At the same time, at the end of it, the five fingers originally modeled on the human form disappeared, replaced by a transparent crystal the size of a fist.
Su Wu knew that piece of transparent crystal.
Probably the biggest change brought about by this upgrade is the high-energy smelting laser emitter.
I looked at the system panel.
After deducting the cost of this upgrade, there are still 14 points available.
So there was no hesitation. He opened another express carton and used the survival point to upgrade the two new robotic arms along the other two directions.
"Now the entire set of robotic arms is complete, which should be able to meet the needs of manufacturing universal engineering robots."
His fingertips traced the hard shell of the robotic arm, feeling the cold texture transmitted by the metal.
An uncontrollable excitement and expectation surged in Su Wu's heart.
There are also bursts of dreamlike unreality.
I have been working hard for half a month.
Finally, I can truly obtain the first high-tech tool that transcends the current era.
From this moment on.
His destiny will be completely different from that of ordinary people on this planet. It has the ability to move a shelter from imagination to reality bit by bit.
