Chapter 18 Little Businessman


    Su Wu improved the detailed functions and early warning mechanism of the shelter one by one.


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


    With anticipation, the design artwork was transferred into the work list to be executed by 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 process of expansion of the shelter.


    The long exceeded expectations.


    "How come it takes so long?"


    Su Wu was a little silent by this unexpected back thorn.


    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 is insufficient.


    "A qualified circuit board can be picked and changed from the pile of scraps that are taken apart from used appliances. The time is not too much."


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


    Su Wu felt a little tricky.


    Although engineering robots are almost universal in function, they are actually good at mechanical manufacturing, not electronic components manufacturing.


    When I encountered similar problems before, I usually used the survival point to force the upgrade.


    But that was a helpless move that could not be done. Now it is a bit too wasteful to just transform some less critical parts of the shelter and rely on the survival point to skip it.


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


    "I can only find a way to buy it with someone else."


    There is no intention to waste the productivity of engineering robots on such meaningless low-end chips.


    Su Wu thought about it and turned to log in to the Internet. Purchase information was posted in Jianghe City''s Doomsday small group and local forums.


    "High batches of chips?"


    "This demand is a bit unpopular."


    "There are few places to use in this environment now."


    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 inquire about whether they had the intention to trade other items.


    Su Wu talked to them casually for a while, but did not 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. Not even considering the random extremely hot storm, looking at the high temperatures above fifty degrees on the surface, even a fatal disaster is not considered. Even ordinary people who are unprepared can grit their teeth and move for a short time on the ground.


    Most people have not actually adjusted to the mentality of entering the doomsday. When it comes to transactions, we still hold on to the valuation system of the previous peaceful era.


    Time passes through busy communication.


    Until afternoon.


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


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


    "How many are there?"


    Su Wu was in spirit.


    Although it is just the level of use of washing machines, it is actually a rare medium and high-end chip among Su Wu''s existing stock chips, and its scope of application is quite wide. It can be regarded as a hard currency that can effectively reduce construction time and survival point consumption.


    "About ten thousand."


    "It''s all the materials used by a small factory to deduct payments."


    “All belong to new products that are not opened.”


    The other party replied in detail.


    "If the price is right, I can cover it all."


    "What do you want to exchange?"


    Su Wu pondered for a moment and asked tentatively.


    The unit price of the washing machine''s chip is not expensive, and the normal market price before the end of the day was about 15 yuan. And now after the end of the world, because the market demand is extremely small, prices are basically unlikely to fluctuate.


    "Ten kilograms of lettuce, sugar, chocolate, vitamin tablets, and some bleeding and pain-relieving medicines." "In addition to lettuce, you can give the quantity of other things, but each type must be at least a little. The price can be based on the current market conditions. Double the conversion.”


    The seller''s offer is extremely low. The cost of fresh vegetables that occupy a large part of them is close to zero for Su Wu. Other things, although they are of great value in the doomsday. But considering that the premium is twice as high, the number of transactions that really need to be taken out is negligible.


    “The price is OK.”


    "How to trade?"


    Knowing that he had taken advantage of it, Su Wu did not make any progress. It is very straightforward to move the transaction process to the next step.


    "this-"


    "The chips are stored in a warehouse in the suburbs. I can''t go out in the official shelter. Can you get them yourself?"


    This time, the seller obviously hesitated for a few seconds before sending a reply. The lines were filled with a cautious smell, as if they were afraid that Su Wu would refuse.


    "Do you have to deliver goods to you later?"


    "Please trouble you."


    No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!


    "If the shipping fee is not enough, there are some hardware tools and metal sheets in that warehouse, which you can take away as compensation."


    After a few simple conversations.


    Su Wu raised his eyebrows and did not continue to make things difficult for the other party.


    This kind of thing was long as he expected.


    In the current environment, it is difficult for most people to even get out of the door of the shelter, let alone conduct long-distance transactions across shelter.


    In the end, it is inevitable that Su Wu will go there himself and act as a courier.


    Once again, my eyes scanned the seller''s list of needs.


    The image of an ordinary person who was rushed into an official shelter and had no connections or status emerged.


    "That''s it."


    "I''ll send what you want to the door of the official shelter."


    The exchange ended and saved the address and unlock password obtained from the seller.


    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 crossbow with fatal lethality is the only weapon in his hand. Now that you are going out, you must bring it with you.


    However, just that, it is still not insurance enough.


    Su Wu stood there and thought for a moment. Turn around and pass the console and issue a recall order to a construction robot that is being constructed on the third floor of the underground.


    A few minutes later.


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


    "Bring your hand crossbow and this crossbow arrow, go to the ground truck cab and wait for orders."


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


    Su Wu watched it turn and leave, disappearing at the corner of the corridor. He closed the door himself and continued to sit back to the console.


    No one stipulates that you must go out in real people.


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


    It is completely enough to perform foreign trading tasks.


    Of course, there are also disadvantages.


    One is that the reaction is not as flexible as the real person.


    Another one is that there are only three construction robots in the entire shelter. Almost all work 24 hours a day without sleep. Taking up one will delay some of the construction tasks accordingly.


    "When the renovation of the second floor of the refuge comes to an end, you can accumulate some survival points."


    "Maybe it''s time to consider adding another construction robot."


    Su Wu thought to himself.


    The cost of a construction robot only requires five survival points. In addition to carrying out construction and outing missions, it can also act as a security officer to increase the safety of the shelter. No matter how you look at it, it''s quite cost-effective.


    Just as Su Wu was thinking, the construction robot arrived at the ground and entered the cab of the medium-sized truck staying in the yard.


    Su Wu sat upright and remotely connected data to the medium-sized truck through the console.
