After becoming rich again, Lu Yuan opened the system store page.
Sure enough, new items had appeared.
【Larger, more efficient 3D printer model 2860, decomposition chamber internal dimensions: 7 meters by 7 meters by 7 meters; build chamber internal dimensions: 13 meters by 7 meters by 7 meters, total length 30 meters, width 9 meters, height 10 meters; price: 80 points】
Not bad.
What Lu Yuan valued more was the huge build chamber.
The current printer model 2839 has a total length of 11.5 meters, and a width and height of 5.5 meters.
In other words, the larger printer model 2860 can manufacture the smaller printer model 2839 as a whole. As long as there are enough resources, this high-tech production equipment can be produced continuously.
At that time, the large printer can be used as an industrial mother machine, with the ability to manufacture heavy vehicles.
As for the smaller printers, Lu Yuan preferred to have several, used separately for making weapons and ammunition, solar panels, mechanical equipment, and daily necessities.
But he currently only has 18 points. The main missions of survival and increasing power generation are expected to be completed in the near future, predicted to bring 40 points.
After that, achieving four more achievements will barely be enough to reach 80 points.
According to the system's current displayed characteristics, as long as new things are constantly tried, new achievements can be triggered, so there's no need to worry too much about this.
However, the huge size of this printer is a problem. It definitely won't fit in the cargo hold of the VTOL aircraft, so it can only be placed outdoors.
And if it's placed outdoors, a matching factory building needs to be constructed to prevent the machine from malfunctioning due to sandstorms.
In addition, defensive walls should also be built around it.
In short, the task is heavy and the road is long!
Next is the exciting moment of collecting loot.
In this battle, the enemy brought a total of nine vehicles. Lu Yuan first found the two that were destroyed by Caoyuan, and found that one of them was intact. After scanning it, he obtained detailed engineering blueprints.
Undoubtedly, this kind of all-terrain vehicle is only at the level of 20th-century Earth, using a four-cylinder engine powered by gasoline.
The remaining nine vehicles were severely damaged and were still burning.
Especially the four that were blown up by drone bombs, there was no need to repair them, but they could be used as raw materials.
Their main components are steel, aluminum, and rubber, lacking rare metals. Although they are not of much extra help for repairing the VTOL aircraft engine, they can be used to make a large amount of guns and ammunition.
Lu Yuan also scanned the guns used by the Raiders and found something that made him very concerned.
Most of these weapons were simple automatic rifles and submachine guns. They mostly used cheap stamped parts, with bent iron bars as stocks, and some barrels were even just seamless steel pipes without rifling.
However, three guns were extremely well-made, with details in all aspects reaching the peak of gunpowder weapons, and a large amount of composite materials were used, making them very light.
Honestly, apart from not having a ballistic computer installed, it felt more advanced than the Striker automatic rifle in his hand!
Lu Yuan naturally accepted these three weapons with a smile.
Such high-grade goods could not have been made by the Raiders themselves. In this Desert, there either exists a city-state with strong industrial capabilities, or there are some "visitors from outside" who occasionally land on the surface and do some small business with the natives.
Or perhaps both.
Whether for safety or trade needs, it is necessary to establish contact with the other party as soon as possible.
Another piece of loot was the corpses of the Raiders, which are important resources for producing player clones.
Producing humans from human bodies consumes far less electricity than producing humans from Desert Spiders.
Of course, this is not all the loot. The key is in their camp that hasn't been found yet.
Although he hadn't closed his eyes for 24 hours, Lu Yuan continued to persevere and remain vigilant until the players came online for their shift.
He first slightly adjusted the angle of the solar panels to achieve maximum power generation efficiency, then loaded raw materials and assigned the 3D printer the task of producing more solar panels.
Finally, Lu Yuan allocated experience points to the three little players.
All three performed well, but if a distinction had to be made, Caoyuan's performance was undoubtedly more outstanding.
After all, combat is his specialty.
In fact, up to now, the chips in the four hibernation pods have been operating at full speed.
In other words, including Lu Yuan himself, everyone's genetic modification speed is similar. Experience points are currently just a motivational tool.
But as the level increases, the difficulty of further genetic modification will become greater, and the required computing power will also increase.
At that time, computing resources will need to be tilted towards the top players who contribute the most.
Who is the top player?
Experience points decide.
...........
On the other side, on Earth, at three in the afternoon, Ye Xing finished editing the video.
He logged into his personal account and found that he had indeed received a large number of private messages.
"Where is your live stream???"
"I waited like an idiot all night, streamer, where are you?"
The number of followers decreased by nearly 5% overnight, which is a very alarming number when converted to active genuine followers.
The situation in the fan group was similar, just with a relatively more polite tone.
"My friends, I'm sorry! Due to some technical issues, I couldn't live stream yesterday. I'll first upload the recorded gameplay video as compensation, and I'll definitely be able to live stream tonight!"
After uploading the video, Ye Xing gave a simple explanation of the situation.
In less than ten seconds, the first comment arrived, obviously without even watching the video, heading straight to the comment section with anger.
"I'm curious how much the developer gave you to abandon the reputation you worked so hard to build up."
"Didn't the streamer even hear the story of the boy who cried wolf?"
【Pinned】 "Unified reply, I did indeed betray everyone's trust before. The main reason is that this game extremely pursues realism and requires repairing the communication equipment in the game before live streaming. It was my oversight before, and I sincerely apologize again (T-T)"
Not many people replied to this pinned comment.
The reason is simple, at this point, everyone had already started watching the video.
And the quality of the video was incredibly high!
"To be honest, this live-action promotional video is really well-made... It's so exciting."
"I suspect the director has practical experience."
"Let's not talk about the director for now, the actors definitely have something, especially that Caoyuan a Caoyuan, is this guy a professional?"
"The scene is at least better than ninety percent of action movies, and it has to be ninety percent of Hollywood's golden age!"
"Although the quality of the promotional video does not represent the quality of the game, to be shot to this extent... I can only say that the production team is indeed not short of money."
The total length of the video is 20 minutes, and by constantly switching between the personal perspectives of the three players and the Executive Officer, it fully demonstrates how they were targeted by the Raiders, how they prepared supplies, how they prepared for battle, and finally how they won.
Story, exploration, hunting, collection, crafting, combat, each segment is about 3 minutes long, with primary and secondary focuses, and a compact structure.
After watching it, even if the audience didn't say it out loud, they had to admit in their hearts that the content shown in the video was really appealing!
What if, and I mean what if, it's real?
Then it would truly be like celebrating the New Year!
A game of the era!
"Okay, I admit, after watching it, I'm a little shaken. The video at least shows the production team's ideas and ambitions. I've decided to wait and see."
"If the actual game can achieve one-third of the content in the video, it will basically be invincible."
"Hmm... I can watch again tonight. It's just waiting another 4 hours anyway."
"The streamer might not have lied. Not being able to live stream is either a game setting or a promotional strategy. In short, we can give him another chance."
"That's right, I also think this video is not simple. I'm an old fan of the streamer, and the game character's voice is exactly the same as his. In short, it's very suspenseful!"
"Alright, alright, then let's wait for tonight!"
"Streamer, you have to be good this time! Don't mess around again. I really want to watch you stream this game now!"
Thank you, thank you!
Seeing the situation somewhat turn around, Ye Xing quickly typed replies one by one, thanking them for their support.
For now, the situation is under control.
Now, there are thousands more people in the world who are anxiously waiting to go online, just like him.
Finally, at 7:30 PM, 2:30 PM Li Star local time, Ye Xing, who had just come online, immediately found Jubian.
"Brother, my dear brother! Can you repair the communication antenna now?"
Jubian smiled wryly.
"Yes, yes, I'll repair it right away, but you have to help me with one more thing."
He pointed to the Pad.
"The Executive Officer went to rest. He left some tasks for us, which give a lot of experience. My task is to produce more player hibernation pods, and this thing also needs HFC refrigerant."
"Oh, so you need more fluorite, right?" Ye Xing immediately understood. "No problem, leave it to me!"
"Yes, your and Caoyuan's task is to obtain more methane tanks, which is on the way. Also, you two have triggered a hidden mission."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing the words "hidden mission," Ye Xing's eyes instantly widened.
"The Executive Officer hopes you can obtain a more complete Mechanical Desert Spider corpse. Based on previous scan results, he speculates that there are some relatively fragile small tanks inside this mechanical creature, which may contain rare gases. The previous ones were broken and leaked."
Although Ye Xing didn't have as much schooling as Jubian, he still had a concept of rare gases.
"That's like argon, krypton, xenon, etc., right? Is this for making high-brightness headlights? Can't you extract it directly from the air?"
"No, it's not for making lights. These elements are needed for building player hibernation pods and many future industrial pieces of equipment, and the demand is very large. Fractionating from the air is not impossible, but the efficiency is too low, and the power consumption is astronomical."
"In short, it's up to us."
Caoyuan walked over with two sniper rifles on his back. "We have a car now. It only takes about ten minutes to go back and forth to the cave dungeon. The remaining fuel in the tank is enough to drive two hundred kilometers. Let's go, I'll be your driver!"
