"At 15:00 on July 11, 2022, the water caused by the heavy rain completely subsided, leaving only a wet layer. I decided to go out and right the King Kong." I took out my laptop from the sealed bag and clicked on it. "Doomsday Diary" document recorded this text, Shen Cong shut down the computer again, and then put it back again.
He doesn't know how others survive in the apocalypse. He just survives and lives here in his own way.
It is his obsessive-compulsive hobby to record what he experiences every day, every research progress, and every incident that happens.
Now the King Kong is lying on the ground and needs to be righted so that the tires touch the ground.
Of course, you must take safety precautions before going out.
The unknown monster underground that can chew through steel bars, the suspected prehistoric giant crocodile that plays with the King Kong as a toy, the storms that come at any time and the water several meters deep all indicate that in the post-apocalyptic world, the food chain has been turned upside down, and human beings No longer a creature at the top of the food chain.
It took half an hour to re-alloy the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor, which had degraded into ordinary armor, and inject activity into it.
It took another half an hour to alloy the six-four pistols and a metal hand crossbow, filling them with abundant activity.
The armed protection work is completed.
Activity is a good thing. All metal items can be quickly alloyed by King Kong. Non-metallic materials can also be alloyed, but the progress is slower. The 15% inactive parts that remained before the King Kong rainstorm were all non-metallic components that were difficult to chew.
This high-imitation 6.4 pistol is made of metal. The last time he built Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor, Shen Cong conveniently controlled the King Kong to make it.
Shen Cong still doesn't know how powerful the activated pistol is, and he hasn't fired a single shot yet.
Shen Cong also has three high-pressure air guns. They are all imitation submachine guns and rifles, but they are made of plastic shells. The alloy is more troublesome and may not be as powerful as a pistol.
Wearing active armor, holding an active pistol, a telescope on his chest, a fang dagger on his waist, and an active hand crossbow on his back, Shen Cong, fully armed, pulled out the King Kong with a jack in his arms.
Shen Cong first carefully inspected the surrounding environment.
In fact, when it comes to inspections, Shen Cong should have had a high-tech equipment specially used as an electronic eye - the DJI Phantom 8th generation drone.
He originally thought that DJI 8 would shine in the end of the world and become his electronic eye.
The fact is quite the opposite. In the current high radiation concentration environment, the effective signal receiving distance of DJI 8 is only less than 20 meters, which is about the same distance as his remote-controlled toy car. Both gps and bds could no longer be received, and the satellite positioning system could not be turned on, so the drone was immediately disabled.
Observing with a camera at a height of 20 meters is not as far as he can see with a telescope.
So after playing DJI 8 once before, Shen Cong put it away with regret. When he finishes researching the radio and completes the communication system upgrade one day, he will see if there is a chance to make DJI 8 a real electronic eye.
Now, manpower patrols.
The world where the water has receded looks very unique.
The ground paved with yellow sand and gravel has been washed away by heavy rains like floods, and most of the sand and gravel have been taken away. Therefore, there are dry waterways on the ground, and the banks of the waterways are large rocks that cannot be washed away. Some of these large stones, if carefully identified, can also be found with traces of some building materials. It is obvious that the ruins of high-rise buildings were rolled over.
Although the terrain has become fragmented and pitted, the reduction of yellow sand and gravel has also greatly reduced the threats from the ground.
Shen Cong didn't think that monsters like diggers, which sneaked up from the yellow sand, could drill holes in the rocks.
Of course, the road has become difficult.
"The King Kong is equipped with a bulldozer, which can push away stones that encounter obstacles."
After confirming that there was no danger, Shen Cong got into the King Kong carriage again and pulled out three huge iron clamps. These were hunting tools that he took time to weld. Ever since he met the big-toothed rat that day, he had started making hunting clamps. Due to the lack of steel and the loss of one in Carrefour supermarket, only four were made in total.
Hunting traps were dropped around the Kong, acting as a first line of defense.
Shen Cong then lowered his vigilance slightly and used the jack to raise the King Kong bit by bit.
This is a very troublesome process.
Shen Cong only had a jack, so he had to lift the King Kong up a little first, then moved a big stone from the side to place it under the carriage, and then slowly moved the jack to use the stone to raise it. Every time you go higher, you have to choose a bigger stone and toss it back and forth.
Sora had the strength of an ox and a half, but it still seemed too weak against the thirty-ton King Kong.
During this period, I had to patrol the surrounding area from time to time, use binoculars to detect distant movements and detect dangers, so it took a lot of time. Work started at 3:30, and at 6:30, when the sun set, the King Kong was finally righted to a 45-degree angle, and the center of gravity began to shift.
At this time, Shen Cong suddenly pushed hard.
Bang!
The King Kong turned over and its 22 tires landed smoothly.
Looking at the King Kong at this time, we can see that the connection between the front and the carriage has been twisted at a very large angle, and some of the load-bearing rods of the chassis have cracks. The outer steel plate armor is even more covered with dense scratches, abrasions, and tooth marks.
The steel plate armor was originally filled with steel spikes, but now the steel spikes were bent into pieces.
Several headlights on the front of the car were all broken.
This was all the result of the monster that was suspected of being a prehistoric giant crocodile being destroyed in the water. This is only the surface, the internal damage is even more serious. Not to mention how many electronic components were damaged by soaking in water, the damage to the materials in the carriage alone is a huge loss.
He used sealed bags to preserve important materials, but during the collision of King Kong, several delicate electronic equipment were still scrapped.
"Change the tires and go in."
Shen Cong took a look at the sky, righted the King Kong, and immediately began to change the tires. A tire near the rear of the carriage was bitten by a monster. The tires are special tires with a diameter of 1.5 meters. In order to install these tires, the chassis of the carriage trailer has been specially modified, and the distance between the wheel axles has been greatly increased.
At the beginning of building the King Kong, Shen Cong preferred a hanging trailer, which is a two-section container.
One is that the cargo capacity is relatively large, and the other is that the tail can be docked and the last container can be discarded if necessary. However, considering the power load issue, separate containers were ultimately chosen.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Cong, who had covered himself with engine oil, successfully changed the tire.
He hung the punctured tire on the chassis, and when he found time, he could slowly repair it with activity. He only had one spare tire.
After recovering the hunting clip and taking one last look at the red sun that was about to sink into the horizon and the bright red sunset that was flying all over the sky, Shen Cong returned to the King Kong. He had not slept for two days and one night.
Have a good rest tonight.
Starting from tomorrow, we will go all out to guide activities and repair the King Kong.
