Charging stations and Artificial Intelligence

On the open laptop, the construction site outside the window was still displayed in real time.

The heavy rain did not stop the operation of the engineering team.

Excavation, reinforcement, transportation, everything was carried out in an orderly manner. The outline of the underground shelter was slowly carved out bit by bit.

After watching for a while, a new message popped up on the screen.

The engineering robot has completed the manufacture of a large battery pack.

Su Wu stood up. He went to the first floor to take out an umbrella and stepped into the rainstorm.

In the yard, the strong wind mixed with the rainstorm, with a hint of chill, poured into Su Wu's collar.

Su Wu shrank his neck slightly, resisting the resistance brought by the strong wind and rainstorm. Slowly, he moved to the temporary shed.

Finding the battery that had just been completed, Su Wu stretched out his hand and pressed it, silently thinking about upgrading in his heart.

After a burst of white light, a suitcase-sized metal cube with a silver-white appearance appeared in the original place.

[High-energy battery pack.]

[Maximum storage power: 10,000 kWh.]

[With wireless charging components: can provide wireless charging within a radius of 100 meters.]

[Note: A simple and movable small charging station.]

Looking at the system panel, this upgrade only consumed five survival points. It was less than expected.

"If there is a chance in the future, I must remove a few more batteries."

"Try to upgrade more battery packs."

This upgrade was not in Su Wu's earliest plan.

It was an extra queue-jumping.

But its existence was very necessary.

A set of high-energy batteries was equivalent to adding insurance for the logistical energy supply of the shelter.

Even if the geothermal generator failed in the future, it would not immediately affect the operation of the entire shelter.

At the same time, it could also serve as an electric water reservoir, storing the excess electricity produced by the geothermal generator to avoid waste.

In terms of benefits, the sooner the high-energy battery pack was selected, the greater the benefit.

Connecting the high-energy battery pack to the output port of the geothermal generator and letting it hang there to charge, Su Wu turned and returned to the room.

He took a simple shower and changed into clean clothes.

He went upstairs to the bedroom.

Seeing that he still had enough survival points, he upgraded the laptop on the desk.

He had wanted to do this for a long time.

Unfortunately, it took fifteen survival points to upgrade the laptop, and there were many items that were more important than it.

As a result, it had been delayed until now, and he could barely raise enough for the upgrade.

A light flashed.

The originally black laptop turned into a more sci-fi silver-white color.

Su Wu tried to turn it on. He found that the hard disk capacity of the upgraded laptop reached 1000 PB, which was 100,000 times that of the previous one.

The computing performance was comparable to that of a small supercomputer.

Of course, while the performance was improved, the power consumption also became terrifying.

Under full load, 100 kWh of electricity was consumed per hour.

Relying on the power of the laptop's own battery, it could only last for one hour.

In addition to the greatly improved hardware performance, the laptop also had a matching primary artificial intelligence.

It could perform some simple tasks on his behalf.

Su Wu fiddled with it for a while.

He named this primary artificial intelligence Luo Tianyi.

Then he transferred the control authority of the engineering team to it.

Suddenly, the connection between the various units of the entire engineering team became smoother, and the movements were as agile as if they were given life. The efficiency significantly improved.

"It seems that the so-called automatic operation is also divided into levels."

"The stronger the computing power, the higher the efficiency."

Su Wu was thoughtful about this unexpected surprise.

After observing for a while, he found that the task of directing the construction of the engineering team did not occupy much computing power of the laptop. He then added a long-term task to it very simply.

Prioritize text materials, collect and download all public materials on the Internet.

This task looked simple, but due to many human interferences on the Internet, if Su Wu collected it manually, it would be time-consuming and laborious. He even didn't know where to find a lot of information.

But if artificial intelligence replaced it, there would be no such problems.

The only limitation was the download speed of the network itself.

In the afternoon, the heavy rain gradually stopped.

Two trucks carrying cement finally arrived at Su Wu's door.

Su Wu stopped the work of the construction robot and the micro transporter.

Under the amazed eyes of the two truck drivers, he asked them to be responsible for unloading.

"Brother, this is high-tech."

"It's more efficient than three or five workers combined."

The idle driver spoke to Su Wu.

"No way."

"It's not easy to find people now."

Su Wu shrugged and said helplessly.

In fact, he could find people if he really wanted to, but they were all temporary workers. Forget about efficiency. It was better to use robots to save time and worry.

"Speaking of which, it's the same here."

"The people who work hard are all hired by the government."

"It is said that they are going to build some civil air defense projects."

The truck driver also sighed.

"Do you think it is possible that the end of the world is coming soon, as rumored on the Internet?"

"Maybe."

"Look at the abnormal market conditions now."

"It's hard to say what will happen."

Su Wu casually agreed, neither agreeing nor denying.

Unloading was complete.

It was almost evening.

After sending off the two truck drivers, Su Wu directed the construction robot to lay waterproof cloth for the newly bought cement.

These things might not be easy to get again even if they were bartered in the future.

They must be carefully guarded.

May 22.

After a week of accumulation, Su Wu, who had gathered enough survival points again, added a mini excavator, a mini transporter, and a construction robot. He doubled the size of the construction team. The excavation efficiency was greatly improved.

On May 28, the initial excavation of the first underground space of 600 square meters was completed.

Su Wu consumed 1 survival point to make the final reinforcement of the main body of the entire first-floor space. He let the construction waste, steel bars, and the outermost concrete filled in the wall truly blend into one.

The construction team began to gradually withdraw and prepare to continue to dig the second underground floor.

In the afternoon of the same day, on the second floor of the farmyard, in the bedroom, Su Wu, who had always seemed to be doing nothing, began to plan and design the completed part of the shelter.

He opened his laptop and compared the original shelter drawings with a large number of reference materials he had searched for.

He fell into a long state of thought.

This choice would determine the starting point of his shelter and its initial functions.
