The base now has only 2.89% of its energy.
Although Xigou and the others have been trying to get energy, the value has not increased.
Because lately this loot is... a bit too much.
Cheng Shaofeng himself decomposed 30 of them in one go, using 0.3% of the energy.
Xigou's team is getting more and more powerful. Cheng Shaofeng checked the records of the loot generator for today and found that Xigou's team used it 29 times.
That's 0.29% of the energy, which is quite a lot.
The property converter is fine, as there are few items to be identified and the power consumption is low. It only used 0.01% of its energy today.
Compared with combat players, the three life players and the two map-running players, the Forgiveness Hat and the Sealed Agent, are rarely used.
"So... we're going to charge them in the future? Otherwise, when there are too many people, there might be problems with energy supply."
But there is another problem, which Cheng Shaofeng had considered before, that is, when a new player comes to this world, it is very likely that he will not be able to find a piece of energy for several days, but if he cannot use the loot generator, he cannot improve his strength, which will seriously delay the player's development speed and make it more difficult for them to find energy.
"Then let's set a limit for players. There are two free opportunities per day. If there are more, they will have to pay. Zero, can you do this?"
Zero: "No problem. I will write the rule on the display of the loot generator and deduct the corresponding iron coins from their watches. How many iron coins do you want to set for each use? Do you want me to do a smart analysis based on the total number of iron coins you issued and the number of players?"
"Can!"
Zero: "After analyzing the items players hand in for daily tasks and the iron coins they receive, as well as the number of times they use the loot generator each day... it can be calculated that the cost for a player to use the loot generator once is about 1 iron coin."
"2 Iron Coins! We must collect more. After all, it is not easy for us to maintain such a large base."
Zero: "Lord, you are absolutely right. It is not easy for us!"
As a result, a new system was born in the Natural Disaster Base, specifically targeting these large energy users.
If they want to keep using it... they have to pay, and in order to make money... they have to complete the lord's tasks.
Perfect!
Of course, for life players like Xiaoxiao, there is basically no impact.
"I'm still short of energy. Let me convert this Yin Crystal into energy first. I'll strengthen myself when the players find more crystal energy."
Zero: "Perhaps you can compromise and charge the base 3% to unlock new buildings and robots, leaving 2% energy to upgrade yourself."
"Eh? It's possible? Reliable! Let's charge the base by 3% first. I'll see what new stuff there is."
Zero: "As you wish."
The Yin Crystal in Cheng Shaofeng's hand absorbed energy from the nanorobot, and a blue energy stream entered Cheng Shaofeng's hand from the Yin Crystal, and then went down his arm into his head.
Scourge Base is charging...
Charging completed, energy reached 5.89%
The base energy has reached the preset critical value, and new functions are unlocked!
New buildings that can be crafted: Smartwatch communication base station, energy emission column, equipment inlay modifier
Awakening: Nano-burning robot
Zero: "I have unlocked part of the database and have mastered the construction and use of these machines."
Cheng Shaofeng asked: "Then tell me one by one what these machines seem to do."
Zero: "The smartwatch communication base station is a signal tower that also has the function of storing data. Once built, it can cover a 20-kilometer radius. The data of smartwatches within this radius can be uploaded in real time. Players no longer need to contact you to back up data. Moreover, you can use the message editor to send messages to players within the coverage of the communication base station at any time."
"nice one!"
Not only can it help players get rid of the bad habit of touching themselves every day, but it can also increase their control range.
Before, once the player went out, he couldn't contact me, and he was very stupid...
"By the way, if a player dies in the wild, as long as he is within this range, his physical condition will be automatically backed up to the moment before his death, which means that the experience will not be lost, right?"
Zero: "Yes."
The coverage area of 20 kilometers centered on the base can fully cover the four mountain areas, and may even extend beyond that.
This new building is really useful and must be built as soon as possible.
"What materials are needed to build this?"
Zero: "300kg of iron and 15 electronic components."
"Not bad... As for iron, the player seems to be training, you can also go to Yanjing Town to buy some rusty iron junk. Electronic components are not a big problem either, the sooner you get them out, the sooner you can enjoy them. What about the others?"
Zero: "The energy emission column is an energy conversion device. Different energies in this world correspond to different functions. For example, if you connect it to a radiation energy source, it can emit radiation waves to a designated area. If you connect it to an electric energy source, it can generate radio to power devices in a small range. If you connect it to crystal energy, it can generate experience waves that evolve the clones of the base, accumulate experience for them, and quickly upgrade and evolve. You need to find the corresponding energy to discover more energy functions..."
"Great! Doesn't that mean I can give players experience points if I put a crystal stone there? This is interesting... But I don't have enough crystal energy for myself right now. I'll give players tasks that give them experience points when I have more. Radiation energy is quite useful, though. If someone attacks our base, we can just use radiation waves to attack them. It can be played like a tower defense game."
Of course, this function has a negative effect against the Predator. The more you shoot at it, the happier it becomes.
“What resources are needed to make this?”
Zero: "It is detected that you have a substitute that can be directly transformed into an energy emission column."
"Replacement? Where?"
Zero: "It's the crystal ball you used to bind the female ghost in Yanjing Town. It's actually an energy launcher. Our robots can be transformed into energy launchers. It only takes 0.5% of the energy. Do you want to transform it?"
"Oh... you're talking about this."
Cheng Shaofeng took out the crystal ball from his room. He had studied it for a while after bringing it back, but couldn't find any way to use it. He thought it was a disposable thing and would not be usable after the female ghost was rescued. He didn't expect it could still be of some value.
"Take it and transform it!"
The energy emission column is being remodeled...
A group of nano-engineers flew out from Cheng Shaofeng's body, wrapped the crystal ball and dragged it away, occasionally cutting a piece of stone or wood from the surrounding area to build the base.
Soon, a 1.5-meter-high cylindrical object appeared with a sphere on top.
While building, Zero explained the last equipment of the base to Cheng Shaofeng.
Zero: "The Equipment Inlay Modifier is a device used to extract and separate the inlays of equipment. It only costs 20kg of iron and 5 electronic components to build."
"Hmm... it's quite cheap, but there's no rush. Let's build the communication base station first. By the way, what is the nano-burning robot used for?"
Zero: "This robot can record the skills used by others and copy them to blank skill stamps, thereby enriching the skill trees of various professions. Of course, it can also open up new professions."
"Holy shit? This is it? Where can I get the blank skill seal?"
Zero: "After unlocking the Nano-burning Robot, blank skill seals can also be made by the robot. Each seal only consumes 0.5 biological raw materials and 0.01% energy. However, when using the seal, you need to stick the blank skill seal on the body of the object that needs to be burned in advance."
"It's very interesting... Once this thing comes out, we can catch someone who is good and put a bunch of blank skill stamps on him, then let him practice his skills one by one, and our players can learn from him."
Zero: “Your thinking is very structured.”
After understanding the contents of the upgraded base, the Yin Crystal in his hand shrank by half, so Cheng Shaofeng kept it for the time being and could use it at any time.
"Crystal energy is useful. Let the players find a few more tomorrow."
...
The next morning, while Wu Jie was still sleeping, Cheng Shaofeng threw a large bag of electronic components into the clone generation chamber.
What surprised him was that... a complete graphics card could actually be considered an electronic component.
Before, I used broken junk and stuffed them in large clumps. This is the first time I've used such fine stuff.
"But think about it... I remember that some countries used chips from washing machines to fight drones. This mining graphics card chip should be more than enough to power a clone and a watch."
With this pile of stuff, there are 10 more electronic components.
"Wu Jie is such a treasure... we have to keep him in the base."
As Cheng Shaofeng was thinking this, Wu Jie woke up. He got up and saw Cheng Shaofeng holding his sack... which was empty.
Wu Jie: ∑(っ°Д°;)っ
"Ah! My electronic gadgets! You're not going to tell me... that the thing inside that running machine is what's in my bag?"
"Hahaha~ Your associative ability is too rich... Yes."
Wu Jie: “…”
Cheng Shaofeng: 乁(˙ω˙乁)
"Don't worry about it. We will all be in the same base from now on. How about I transfer another 200 virtual iron coins to you?"
Wu Jie stretched out his hand: "Whoever wants to join your base, give me the Colossus City coin you got yesterday!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Here, you never have to worry about food! We eat barbecue every day!"
Wu Jie: "Give me money!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "They will protect us. Don't be afraid of others stabbing you in the back!"
Wu Jie: "Give me money!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Come to the base, I will give you an identity and let you be respected by these soldiers! Everyone regards you as a very important person!"
Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, snatched the empty package from Cheng Shaofeng, turned around and left.
Cheng Shaofeng: "Where are you going?"
Wu Jie: "I'll go to Yanjing Town and move all my stored supplies here..."
“6!”
The natural disaster base was expanded by one local indigenous person.
