I Have a Job

Chapter 272 Cleaning and Research

"But no matter what, that's the core area."

"It is said that those who live in the core area are all important figures in Jianghe City. They have the authority to command artificial intelligence."

"Miss Sissi, I think you will become that kind of person in the future."

In Fu Yang's view, Liu Mingshu's complaints were just showing off.

And at the same time.

When it comes to the last sentence.

The melancholy in Fuyang's tone was so strong that it was almost impossible to dissolve.

Identity and status are the best barriers.

A person who is at the core of power in the entire Jianghe City.

And Fuyang, who is just an ordinary member of more than ten million people.

Even now, because of Liu Mingshu, they are standing in the same place for a short time.

It is also destined that there will only be two different species in the future.

"By the way, Fuyang."

"Are you and Xiao Lu really going to apply to work at the affiliated shelter?"

Liu Mingshu didn't want to continue discussing this topic, so he asked about their movements instead.

"Well, go work in the attached shelter, the environment will be better."

"There are additional subsidies."

"It's the best way out for people like us."

Speaking of this, Fu Yang also put away his sadness.

Jianghe City is managed by artificial intelligence.

There is not much room for commercial development at present.

Apart from anything else, the issues of warehouses and stores alone are enough to stump most people.

And, almost every normal workforce.

They will be assigned corresponding tasks by artificial intelligence.

Basically unable to be independent.

In this case, if there is not enough knowledge reserve or professional ability.

Want to live a little better than other people.

The easiest way.

The only option is to work in affiliated shelters that are judged by artificial intelligence to be of greater risk.

And just as the two of them were chatting.

A female guard wearing exoskeleton armor suddenly appeared in the park. She quickly came to Liu Qianqian's side and whispered a few words to her.

Liu Qianqian nodded slightly.

Then he went over to say goodbye to Liu Mingshu.

"Brother, I want to go back."

"You and your friends, don't stay here any longer—"

"It's very dangerous."

Liu Qianqian hesitated for a moment, and finally persuaded.

"What happened?"

Liu Mingshu keenly realized that something was wrong and quickly asked back.

"I don't know either." Liu Qianqian shook her head, looking a little uneasy and nervous. She said in a low voice. "It's just that the adult sent a biplane helicopter to pick me up. The situation must be very serious."

As the safest and most convenient means of air transportation known in the apocalypse.

The reputation of the biplane helicopter is also widely known among the common people.

Just to get back to the farmhouse more than 30 kilometers away.

They used this strategic-level aircraft, which even the top dignitaries in Changming City rarely have the opportunity to ride.

The real situation is more than serious.

That could literally be considered life-threatening.

I understood the weight of Liu Qianqian's words.

Liu Mingshu's expression became serious and he didn't dare to waste time.

"Then you go first."

"We will also leave in the car immediately."

"Brother, why don't you come back with me first." Liu Qianqian bit her lip, her eyes slightly red. After hesitating for a moment, she made up her mind.

The biplane helicopter took her and her escort.

There is not much space left.

Can't take everyone away.

But if we only bring Liu Mingshu, it's not impossible.

"Forget it, we all came here together."

"It would be bad for me to leave them behind and go back."

"And I can't cause you any trouble."

Liu Mingshu was somewhat tempted by what he heard, but after thinking rationally, he decisively refused.

Friends don't matter.

But my sister obviously doesn't have a very high status in the core area.

If you are punished because of him.

That was his dereliction of duty as an elder brother.

"Just take care of yourself."

"Let's go."

The brother and sister quickly completed their communication.

Then they separated.

Looking at Liu Qianqian hurriedly leaving surrounded by a group of guards.

Liu Mingshu's mood became heavier and heavier.

He didn't expect that what was originally just a simple and happy outing could very likely turn into a life-and-death farewell.

He turned his head and looked overheard the conversation between the brother and sister.

Fu Yang, who was ignored by Liu Qianqian the whole time and treated as an ordinary passerby who could be discarded, smiled bitterly.

"Let's go quickly too."

Surface, Jianghe city.

Here at this moment.

Already following Su Wu's emergency mobilization.

It became a huge military camp.

Patrolling spider robots and robot dogs can be seen everywhere.

There are also multi-wing drones and courier-level drone clusters hovering in the air.

Although I was quite anxious.

However, Su Wu did not immediately evacuate the 700,000 people in the attached shelters from the ground and underground tunnels.

It's just to make them prepare in advance.

The situation of amethyst is still unclear.

Nor has the purple crystals that could pose a threat along the way been completely eliminated.

Letting people appear on the surface rashly.

It will only increase the risk infinitely.

According to Su Wu's plan.

He will first clear a safe ground passage within half an hour.

Then, while investigating the source of the purple crystals, they began to transfer the population in batches.

The time is very tight.

Because some purple crystals are located one or two hundred meters deep underground.

Even if it is violent digging using specially made bunker-penetrating bombs.

It's hard to get there in a short time.

But no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it.

Su Wu would never allow such an unpredictable threat to exist in his base camp.

Small shelter No. C013.

It was the place where amethyst was first discovered, triggering the city-wide alarm in Jianghe City.

This place has been completely taken over by a team of fully armed robots.

And on the 3rd underground floor, there is a damaged outer wall.

Two spider robots also successfully used specially made tools.

The purple crystal was captured and imprisoned in a specially made sealed container.

The entire capture process.

There was no movement.

That purple crystal looked like a real crystal ore.

There were no changes throughout.

"Based on the analysis of the sounds that occurred around the security guard at Small Shelter C013 when he left."

"This purple crystal should have undergone preliminary evolution."

"It has certain hunting abilities."

"It's just right for further research."

"As for the other purple crystals, they can be destroyed directly."

When Su Wu drove out in the base vehicle, he was alone and helpless.

For the unknown creature Amethyst.

There are not very good research conditions.

For safety reasons, you can only kill him directly.

Now Su Wu is in the central area of his own shelter.

The armed forces at hand are quite sufficient.

Don't worry too much about safety issues.

It is also time to further analyze and experiment with them.

"Whether we can develop more effective weapons to kill them is secondary."

"The key is to develop detection equipment that can scan for their traces."

Don't think that Su Wu already has a detector for amethyst in his hand.

But that is a special item that was smashed out using survival points.

The difficulty of reverse analysis is almost off the charts.

It is even more difficult than analyzing the small nuclear weapons and power engines of micro mechas.

And look at the current situation.

In the future, traces of amethyst may appear all over the world.

By that time, if you don't have a reliable detector with you.

All of Su Wu's affiliated shelters outside and all of the vehicles dispatched outside.

The situation will become worse.

Switch monitoring.

Watch as the sealed container holding the purple crystal is carefully escorted by several spider robots and robot dogs.

Being put into a snow transporter.

Then we drove to a small, remote refuge on the outskirts of the city.

There.

There is a replica of the biological laboratory used to study the Rola virus, as well as a more powerful protective network.

It also has a built-in high-yield metal hydrogen bomb.

To ensure that the entire small shelter can be completely destroyed when necessary.

It is a research site built specifically for amethyst.

"Next, we need to clear the purple crystals near the main road."

Su Wu steadily pushed forward the cleanup plan.

A large number of earth-penetrating rockets began to be launched.

It drilled nearly a hundred meters underground and then exploded.

Targeting some purple crystals located shallowly underground.

With the help of snow transport vehicles, the heavily-armored main battle spider robots aimed their main guns at them and bombarded them directly.

Specially made armor-piercing projectiles, after being accelerated by the electromagnetic gun.

It can easily penetrate strata sixty to seventy meters deep.

Directly blast those hidden purple crystals.

As for those few purple crystals that are nearly 200 meters deep underground.

Su Wu directly pulled over the drilling rig that he had originally made to install the geothermal generator.

Drilling wells were carried out on site, and then explosives were placed inside.

As more and more Amethyst crystals are located and destroyed.

Su Wu soon discovered.

Their hardness is not as strong as imagined.

The main gun of any heavy-armored main battle spider robot can completely blow them to pieces as long as it can hit them accurately, even if there are rock layers dozens of meters deep.

This allows actual cleanup progress.

A little faster than expected.

It only took about 18 minutes to complete the original goal.

"It was easier than I thought."

Su Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

But in fact.

This phenomenon is normal.

As a living organism, no matter how hard its shell is.

It is also impossible to truly compete with modern heavy weapons.

Especially nowadays, the explosives used by Su Wu.

It has already developed into the third generation of metallic hydrogen.

Its destructive power per unit area is almost as strong as that of nuclear weapons.

Theoretically, it is impossible for any living thing to survive such a powerful explosive.

However, Su Wu felt a little relieved.

It did not change the original idea of transferring population.

Those purple crystals had no power to resist the fully armed spider robots.

But it is aimed at ordinary civilians who have no protection.

That's another matter.

Even ordinary humans can serve as food that can promote the growth of amethyst.

Out of caution, all the population was concentrated as much as possible in the safer farmyard shelters.

Still the best strategy.

Cleared the purple crystals near the main road.

The wind and snow on the surface began to get stronger.

A cold current was born quietly in the wind and snow.

This caused some trouble to the established evacuation plan.

Ordinary vehicles can no longer appear on the surface.

Only a limited number of snow transport vehicles can be used for transfer.

But fortunately, it is just a transfer between cities after all.

The whole journey is only a few dozen kilometers.

Without considering the comfort issue, the original seats were removed.

A snow transport vehicle that normally carries 80 people can eventually fit more than 400 people.

The overall transfer speed is still very impressive.

"As for the underground passages, on the one hand, we need to strengthen monitoring."

"On the other hand, for now, it can only be used to transfer supplies, not to transport people."

A relatively well-protected shelter.

The walls of the underground transportation channel appear to be very weak.

The danger may even be higher than on the surface.

In this situation, Su Wu could only semi-close it temporarily.

Do all this.

After confirming that there are no omissions in the arrangements.

Su Wu began to focus all his energy on tracing the source of the amethyst.

Thanks to the Pioneer-class land destroyer, which carries a crystal detector with a detection radius of 5 kilometers.

The artificial intelligence quickly drew up a distribution list of all amethysts.

And finally calculated that most of them came from the Qinling Mountains area.

A small number of them float up directly from deeper underground.

"This is not easy to handle."

Looking at the movement trajectory of the purple crystal simulated on the map, Su Wu felt a little tricky.

It's not so difficult in the Qinling Mountains.

Those purple crystals that floated up directly from beneath the shelter, from deeper underground.

It is basically impossible to resist it completely.

We can only wait passively until they are about to approach the shelter.

Then clear it manually.

And this brings us to the issue of amethyst detection.

"It seems that this survival point cannot be saved."

"Only one more crystal detector can be made."

"In the future, one will be stationed in the farmyard shelter, and the other will be placed on the Pioneer-class land destroyer."

"Have it patrol Jianghe City and its surrounding areas regularly."

"Provide real-time warning."

We were busy till the afternoon.

Su Wu finally cleared away all the purple crystals that appeared near the urban area of Jianghe City.

But this cleaning is only relative.

Taking into account the actual cost and difficulty of cleaning, for some purple crystals located several kilometers deep underground.

Su Wu could only allow it to exist temporarily.

And that's besides the point.

He also strengthened the armed forces in the Qinling Mountains area.

Near the lava canyon over there.

More than a dozen semi-permanent watchtowers and artillery batteries were built.

Responsible for regularly cleaning up the purple crystals suspended from the magma.

Compared with Jianghe City, the geology is generally more stable and hard.

Qinling Mountain valley area.

It is almost equivalent to the exit of amethyst.

They can travel through magma directly from their underground nests to the surface.

Then with the help of earthquakes.

In a currently unknown way, it gradually moved from underground to the vicinity of the urban shelter in Jianghe City.

"Luckily, I cleaned up the flowers of the underworld in advance."

"Otherwise, these purple crystals would have obtained the resources for their initial growth, and it would not have been so easy to clean them up just now."
