But that was not the end of the surprise.
The search continued on the fourth day.
Chen Jin did not find the core of the AI industry in another smaller factory in the industrial area in the north of the city. But in the sealed warehouse of the factory, the robot team found two personal flying cars.
He had picked up two flying cars!
What was a flying car?
Without a doubt, it was a car with a flight function.
But it had four wheels. Its appearance was not much different from an ordinary car, but it had been optimized for aerodynamics. For example, the body was sleeker, the cockpit was designed in the shape of a water droplet, the chassis was flat, and there were controllable side wings on both sides of the door. A T-shaped vertical tail was installed at the rear with movable flaps to adjust the flying attitude.
As for the power system of the flying car, of course, it used an electric motor when driving on flat ground. But when in flight mode, it relied on a number of small electric turbojets under the car to provide lift, and two electric turbojets with 100 horsepower at the rear to provide thrust.
Since the power system was all electric, there were 20 large high-efficiency batteries in the flying car.
This gave it a range of 2000 kilometers on flat ground, but only 800 kilometers in flight.
In this world, this type of flying car was also known as an "amphibious vehicle." It was a magical tool to deal with traffic jams.
The robots could find flying cars in this small factory, which meant that the automobile industry in Fort Worth City was seeking to diversify. No one would put all their eggs in one basket.
The two flying cars in front of Chen Jin were well preserved in the sealed warehouse. Except for the four rubber tires that were a little old, the other parts of the car were not damaged.
After replacing the 20 large high-efficiency batteries, the car could run.
Not only could it run, but it could also turn on flight mode and slowly rise into the sky.
Chen Jin laughed happily.
"Haha, two more treasures! These two flying cars, even if they don't have a long flight range, only a few hundred kilometers, they are flying tools with a speed of 700 to 800 kilometers per hour. With them, the efficiency of planet Haierfa's exploration will be greatly increased!
If I drive them back to the big crater camp, I can get back from Fort Worth City in 20 minutes!
If I encounter any danger, it will be a magical tool to escape. "
It was equivalent to having an extra layer of security.
However, Chen Jin did not dare to drive these two flying cars for the time being. Firstly, he had never driven one before and was not very familiar with it. Secondly, the sky here was overcast and filled with yellow sand. It was easy to get lost if one's vision was poor. Chen Jin did not dare to risk his life.
As for the two flying cars, there was no telling how long they had been stored in the warehouse. There was no telling if there were any latent malfunctions. They would only dare to fly into the sky after a thorough inspection.
After some thought, Chen Jin even gave the two flying cars a name. "This blue flying car shall be called 'Flight 1.' This white flying car shall be called 'Flight 2.'"
If he picked up a similar flying device, he could call it "Flight 3", "Flight 4", "Flight N", and so on.
That was the end.
The robot squads took care of almost every corner of Fort Worth City.
The treasures that he had plundered were more or less these.
Chen Jin's good luck had basically run out here.
The robot in charge of observation, Big Head, sent an alert.
"Master, there's a strong sandstorm coming from the north, and the wind is getting stronger. I've detected a huge black mass coming towards Fort Worth at high speed!"
"Oh no! The sandstorm is coming! Master, I can see it with my optical lens! "
"The sandstorm will engulf the entire city in at most five minutes. Master, please be prepared!"
What?
Chen Jin jumped in fright.
Then, the video message sent by Big Head was played by Da Li.
In the dim yellow image, a pitch-black tsunami was approaching, connecting the heavens and the earth. It was like a huge wall, bringing with it the momentum of an army of thousands of men and horses, pushing forward at an extremely fast speed.
Chen Jin's expression changed drastically.
"Hide! All the robots that are still searching, quick! Find a safe place to hide! "
"The sandstorm is coming, don't rush to find the things. Take care of yourselves first!"
Chen Jin gave the order in a panic. Although strong sandstorms often happened at the campsite, they were never as strong as the sandstorm. He had no experience or preparation for this kind of extreme weather.
Fortunately, the enclosed warehouse where the two flying cars were stored had a very sturdy external structure. Chen Jin drove his Rover No.1 into the warehouse, as well as his backup car, the Blue Angel. He turned on the electricity and closed the automatic door of the warehouse. They should be able to cope with the sandstorm outside.
Chen Jin was more worried about the robots that were scattered all over Fort Worth City. Obviously, it was too late to summon them now. He could only issue a warning and let them take shelter on their own.
"Woo, woo, woo!"
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"
"Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle!"
The sandstorm engulfed Fort Worth City in no time.
The sturdy metal door rattled under the impact of the sandstorm.
Through the video sent by the robots outside, Chen Jin saw the apocalyptic scene outside.
The sky was pitch black.
He couldn't even see his own fingers.
The only thing that could be heard was the continuous rustling of the wind from every corner.
A strong wind of over level 10 could blow away anything that wasn't stable.
In such an environment, there was nothing but despair.
Hiding in the sealed warehouse, Chen Jin didn't dare to step out. He asked Da Bao to drill a hole in the metal door with a laser and let in some fresh air for him to breathe.
The only thing he could do now was wait for a long time.
He waited for two days and two nights.
The sandstorm outside showed no signs of abating.
Chen Jin was starting to get anxious.
"The National Day holiday is almost over. Mom will be worried sick if I don't go home now!
Maybe she'll call the police and put up missing person notices everywhere.
"They might even break the door and rush into my room …"
Chen Jin prayed anxiously in his heart, "Please stop the sandstorm. God, please stop it, I have to hurry home!"
Perhaps his prayers had worked.
On the morning of the third day, the sandstorm finally stopped.
The sun shone through the dark clouds and through the yellow sand particles floating in the air, casting a dim yellow light that people hadn't seen in a long time.
The city on the ground was once again illuminated.
But it covered the road to the south.
Fortunately, this didn't affect Chen Jin's return to the campsite in the south. He brought a compass with him. Most robots had the ability to memorize the terrain and routes. It was unlikely that they would get lost in a short distance of 200 kilometers.
But Chen Jin's expedition team did suffer some losses in the sandstorm.
Three robots went missing, and 15 electric motorcycles were lost.
A lot of gold, silver, and jewelry were lost.
But overall, the losses were not great. Most of the "gains" were stored in the warehouse of Rover No.1.
First, he let two robots control the two flying cars and fly them back to the campsite.
Then, he brought the expedition team back with a full load of "gains."
Sitting in the cockpit, Chen Jin looked back at the city of Fort Worth, which seemed to be swallowed by the desert.
He murmured, "I won't dare to come back to this city again. What if there's another sandstorm?
I'll send robots to transport the rest of the capsule factories and printing materials. I'll command them from afar.
Also, including Fort Worth City, it seems that the further north we go, the worse the natural environment is. There are more sandstorms. Roads, railways, cities, and all man-made buildings are covered by the desert. There's not much point in expanding north.
The natural conditions in the south are better. There are even some drought-resistant plants. My next step should be to expand south.
Also, the map of this country shows that there's an ocean more than 500 kilometers south of the campsite … "
The ocean and the coastal areas of each country were often the most economically active, with the most urban agglomerations and the most developed civilizations.
Therefore, Chen Jin already had a rough plan and plan for the next step of his exploration in his mind.
