Chapter 306: Their most precious things are just numbers in my eyes
What does high-quality sleep feel like?
Lin Yue felt that he should be the one with the most say in this Otherworld.
At least in the past twenty-nine days, except for the rare days when he wasn't in the shelter, he almost always woke up naturally, and after waking, he was full of energy.
"Only seven o'clock, huh? I thought I'd slept until after ten."
Lin Yue got up and tidied up a bit. Now, whether it's underwear or outerwear, he had plenty of spares, so he felt it wasn't much different from back on Earth when getting dressed each day.
In short, just two words:
Comfortable.
He left the bedroom and went to the living room, where he discovered that Bai and the others were surprisingly not there.
Could they have gone to the Underground Ruins again? No, that place should still be sealed with iron block walls, and no matter how strong they are, they can't get in there.
The same goes for the Ancient Secret Realm Gate over there...
"Gawoo." The main door suddenly opened, and Bai's voice came through.
Lin Yue walked out and saw Bai holding a large watermelon in each arm, and Xiaomeng was doing the same behind him.
Their eyes were filled with a longing for this large green-skinned, red-fleshed fruit.
"Goodness, self-reliance for food and clothes, is it?"
For Lin Yue, watermelons were no longer something he needed to trade. These were more suited to being consumed as a refreshing treat in this hot weather.
"Alright, spray some cool air on them before eating to chill them a bit."
Lin Yue said as he walked outside, heading straight towards the greenhouse.
After collecting the vegetables and fruits that the Little Ice Lizards had already gathered and placed in the boxes, he put them into the Storage Space and left this gradually warming greenhouse.
It's no good; without a shade net, it won't work. If this continues for a few more days, these fruits and vegetables will probably all be ruined?
Lin Yue thought again about that glass greenhouse design blueprint.
Should he go into the Secret Realm today to search for related parts, or should he try getting some on the world channel first?
Lin Yue felt that constructing this glass greenhouse really needed to be accelerated and put on the agenda. Relying on these fragile, easily toppled plastic and metal cold frames was not a solution.
To put it bluntly, if there were a cooling disaster, all the vegetables and fruits inside would be destroyed.
Not only that, but the large diesel generator also needed to be worked out quickly; it was missing some parts, too.
While combat and exploration are essential, construction is clearly more critical.
If we want long-term development, we must lay a strong foundation.
"In any case, let's first see what we're missing..."
Some of the electronic equipment inside the large glass greenhouse, like controllers, actuators, integrated circuit boards, motors, and wires, he already had, so these didn't need to be found again. What was missing were various alloys, along with a large amount of fiberglass, acrylic, concrete, and motors.
As for the 1000kw diesel generator, the missing part was a large motor.
Oh, and wasn't there still one big thing left to be made? Lin Yue flipped through the list and found "medium-sized food preservation cold storage."
This thing had been on hold for a long time without being made, and it lacked a throttle valve and alloys.
"Really, apart from basic materials like stone and iron blocks, there's also a huge shortage of various alloys and large parts."
Either go to the world channel to trade for a batch, go collect in the mines and Secret Realm, or have Fei Yue lead a team to gather them.
There were barely any better options.
Lin Yue opened the system panel, went to the Survival Points Mall, and surprisingly found that concrete was for sale!
"The glass greenhouse needs 20 cubic meters of concrete... 1 unit of concrete only costs 500 survival points? How cheap."
Lin Yue currently had over thirty thousand, nearly forty thousand survival points, which had already become just numbers in his mind, so it didn't matter much. After spending 10,000 survival points to exchange for 20 cubic meters of concrete, Lin Yue placed them in the yard.
He couldn't count on anything else, and the survival points saved up again.
Really, maybe one day keep some for identification, and use the rest for a lottery or something.
He then looked at the world trading board, searched around, and surprisingly found someone was selling alloys now!
Holding various supplies, Lin Yue didn't hesitate, making offers one by one.
Possibly due to the high temperature changing many people's routines, there were quite a few people making exchanges with him this early in the morning.
In no time, he had acquired 32 units of hard aluminum alloy, 17 units of zinc alloy, 5 units of white copper, and 5 units of brass.
The quantities were still far short of the demand, and the gap was still significant.
It seemed like there would be a need to trade periodically, but it probably wouldn't last long; as everyone progressed, alloys would be used more and more, and less would be available in the market over time.
This was an inevitable trend.
As demand increased and everyone was looking for it, this stuff would become hard currency, just like how water was when they first formed a group, and later his wine and vegetables.
This is about all there is to say about the trade mall; the rest would rely on passive collection or going to find Fei Yue and the others.
"It seems the main part has to depend on myself..." Lin Yue said, imagining that if he had another tower to dismantle, he would definitely take it apart so thoroughly that even the builder wouldn't recognize it.
After dismantling one in Tokyo, he'd do the same in Paris.
Aside from alloys, he also traded over ten bottles of wine for various critical parts needed for the robot dogs.
"First, manufacture a batch of robot dogs. The current six are still too few; putting together all the parts on hand... can make another six?"
Seeing the number of parts increase, Lin Yue felt quite excited.
The more robot dogs, the better.
For mining, defense, and battle, they're excellent and can even form a small squad.
He returned to the shelter, picked up a charged robot dog, intending to disassemble it into parts, but when he saw the power display, he remembered an upgrade.
"Wait, charging is also an issue... right, could the solar panel be detached and attached?"
With this thought, Lin Yue returned to the shelter, switched the photovoltaic array to gasoline power, and then detached the small solar power suite.
He then took out the High-Precision Research Workstation, disassembling it into parts.
This small solar power suite's panels could be broken down into twenty small pieces, but these small pieces were about twice as wide as the robot dog's back.
Lin Yue placed a small piece on the back of a newly manufactured robot dog, and soon, the system prompt sounded.
[Upgrade the rechargeable defensive multifunctional robot to a solar and rechargeable hybrid model, requires consuming one universal upgrade design blueprint]
Wow, even the name has changed, Defensive Multifunctional Robot?
