Chapter 40 Power Outage
It rains continuously.
The sky has been gloomy all the time, and the light is dim and gloomy.
Jiang Chao was nestled in the cockpit, turning on the air conditioner and blowing warm air. He held the handle in his hand and rubbed the joystick in front of the big screen.
I was typing and typing, and suddenly the screen started to flicker.
"?"
Jiang Chao sat up and was wondering what was going on.
"Crack!"
As the light retracted from the surroundings of the screen, the picture was completely closed, leaving only a deep mirror reflecting the shadow.
Jiang Chao took the remote control and pressed it. The screen immediately turned on, but soon it turned off again.
"?"
Jiang Chao stood up and came to the control console, pressed the switch again, and the screen turned on again, but soon went out again.
At this moment, Jiang Chao seemed to understand something.
"Wangshu!"
"Wangshu!"
He called Wang Shu's name twice, but there was no response. Jiang Chao pointed at several cameras in the corner and said with certainty.
"Wangshu, I know you are watching."
"Why is there no power?"
Wang Shu finally raised his head and spoke.
"It's been raining recently, there's not enough light, and the solar panels don't have enough power to store, so there's no extra power for you to play games."
Jiang Chao: "Are you a tenant? Be careful, I will lock you in a dark room."
Jiang Chao is the administrator of the space station and has the highest authority over all facilities, including Wang Shu's.
However, having said that.
Jiang Chao did not use his authority to really lock Wang Shu into a small dark room. Instead, he gave up playing games and really started saving electricity with Wang Shu.
He may not have noticed that as he got used to it, he had unknowingly regarded Wang Shu as a human being.
But then, Jiang Chao discovered something even more outrageous.
After not playing games, Jiang Chao got up and prepared to take a shower.
The bathroom is an opaque glass structure that looks like a pill. It will be sealed immediately after entering. However, after Jiang Chao entered, he picked up the technological shower that was magnetically attached to the wall. The indicated temperature value on the shower kept
It didn't go up, but kept flashing an alarm similar to low battery.
Jiang Chao: "There's no hot water either?"
Wang Shu: "Based on your daily exercise volume and sweating frequency, I think you don't need to take a shower every day for the time being to save power."
You don’t have to play games, but you have to take a shower, and I don’t know how long this cloudy day will last.
Wangshu: "I know a place where I can take a bath."
Jiang Chao: "Where?"
Wang Shu didn't say directly: "Not only can you take a bath there, it's also a hot spring."
Wang Shu was good at tempting her, but in Jiang Chao's opinion, her little tricks were too obvious.
Jiang Chao walked out and looked at the camera as if he could see the appearance of a woman in palace clothes with a proud smile on her face. He understood Wang Shu's thinking mode very well, or in other words, he understood the laws of artificial intelligence and the other person's personality model framework.
He exposed Wang Shu as soon as he opened his mouth: "Do you have any purpose?"
Wangshu was surprised: "How do you know?"
Jiang Chao: "It's related to the plan we talked about before, about the power outage and the lack of hot water. In fact, you want me to see the results you have made, right?"
Wang Shu: "It's so boring."
Jiang Chao: "It's okay anyway, I'll go take a look."
Wangshu became happy again: "But the hot spring is real."
The hot spring is indeed real, but it is just an incidental thing to the plan that was made before.
It's a small gift and surprise, just like the "Palm Thunder" Wang Shu gave to Jiang Chao before.
Jiang Chao changed into a round-collared military uniform and boots, and put on a lamp.
At this time Wangshu said: "There is a light on the road."
So Jiang Chao let it go and left through the hatch leading to the underground. As expected, there was light in front of him, but he also discovered something different from before on the way.
There were cables passing along the way, and as I walked forward, I discovered that the thing that was shining brightly was a wall lamp.
Jiang Chao: "Did you pull another cable outside?"
At the same time, Jiang Chao also saw traces left by a certain device on the ground when it moved. Those were definitely not traces left by humans or animals, but were caused by an extremely heavy technological creation.
Jiang Chao: "You have fully activated the smart workshop again. No wonder there is no electricity. This thing is an electricity-eating beast."
Wang Shu: "Yes, I have fully activated the smart workshop and turned it into a smart engineering vehicle. Only in this way can it be moved outside and used, and our plan can be started!"
Jiang Chao: "All the spare materials have been used up?"
Wangshu: "That's almost it."
Jiang Chao approved Wang Shu's plan: "Save electricity for the time being and fully support your plan. In this way, the electricity will be sufficient after a while, and we will be able to do many things with energy."
Wang Shu's joyful voice came: "Yeah!"
Listening to the voice, Jiang Chao knew that Wang Shu was nodding vigorously.
While walking, Jiang Chao asked: "Is there really a hot spring?"
Wang Shu was very sure: "It really is, it's right in front."
Walking deeper and deeper, I don’t know how long I have been walking, it seems that I am heading towards the eighteenth level of hell, and the roads and passages are getting narrower and narrower.
Finally, in an underground cave that suddenly opened up, Jiang Chao saw the intelligent engineering vehicle.
Its base has been retracted, but the control console is raised high, with long and thick cables connected to the back. At this moment, the multiple robotic arms on it are operating rapidly, flashing from time to time.
The color of the laser.
It is accepting arrangements from Wangshu to manufacture another piece of equipment here that currently looks a bit crude.
Jiang Chao: "The temperature seems to be getting higher?"
Wang Shu: "There is a geothermal hot spring not far below. After you blow it up, the hot spring will come up."
Jiang Chao: "What did you use to blow up?"
Wang Shu: "I tried a variety of explosives and finally selected a new sticky bomb synthetic formula, which has precise and controllable power and is pollution-free."
Wang Shu detected that there happened to be a high-temperature geothermal hot spring underground here, and was about to explode a passage to the bottom. Previously, Wang Shu made a "palm thunder" for Jiang Chao, and it turned out that he was trying to explode it.
The power should not be too small or too large, it should be controllable, and it should be pollution-free.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
"Zizzizi... da da da da da da~"
The intelligent engineering vehicle made various sounds, which echoed in the cave and seemed a bit noisy. Jiang Chao could only speak louder.
Jiang Chao: "Won't the mountain collapse?"
Wang Shu: "I have calculated it, and there is no problem. However, the geothermal hot spring is very deep inside, and the work we need to complete here is not small. It is estimated that it will need to be blown up many times, and it will have to be cleaned up slowly afterwards."
Jiang Chao glanced at the traces around him: "Have you exploded this cave before?"
Wang Shu: "It has been blown up several times."
Jiang Chao: "Why don't I feel it?"
Wang Shu: "The cabin isolates most vibrations and sounds from the outside world. If you huddle up and sleep in the cabin with adaptive adjustment and protection functions, you won't feel it even if the mountain really collapses outside."
