NOVEL NEXT Chapter 341: Incomprehensible Facts, Approaching the Truth?_2
After opening the system panel, he immediately navigated to the shelter interface.
[Upgrade Shelter Material]
Lin Yue saw this option.
[Upgrade the shelter's exterior walls and internal structure material to stainless steel, confirm? Requires 700 units of stainless steel]
That's really a lot.
Lin Yue glanced at the 598 units of stainless steel in the Storage Space, then went down to the basement's warehouse and moved the remaining 102 units of stainless steel into the Storage Space.
Although these could be used to build a greenhouse, the most urgent thing right now is the shelter's stability.
This is a very important issue; he doesn't want the comfortable home he painstakingly built to become rubble and ruins under a hailstorm or a fire tornado.
Moreover, even if he gathered all the materials for the glass greenhouse now, he could only wait for the disaster to end before starting construction.
"Confirm upgrade."
[Confirm upgrade of the shelter's exterior walls and internal structure to stainless steel, upgrading shelter...]
A gentle white light enveloped almost everything in front of him.
[15%, 49%, 87%... Upgrade complete]
The system's voice sounded again, and Lin Yue also saw...
"Emmmm... There's no visible change from the outside?"
The wall surface remained the original color and style unchanged.
Lin Yue walked to the wall, knocked on it, and observed carefully. The outermost layer was still stone, and...
"Is this a 2-4 wall? It's upgraded to a 3-7 wall, right? Goodness.
The thickness of the partition walls was much greater than the previous 2-4 walls, and Lin Yue knew that this was probably because only the outer layer was stone; inside, it was precious stainless steel alloy!
He walked near the door and found that the wall thickness had also increased, even thicker than before!
"Goodness, a 4-2 wall, huh?"
He took a box measuring tape from the toolbox, measured, and found the shelter's exterior wall thickness was indeed much thicker, reaching 40 centimeters!
This thickness... is terrifying.
Now, even if hail the size of small watermelons fell from the sky, it wouldn't be a problem, right?
With a thick double-layer of rock outside and stainless steel alloy inside, if he considered lightning protection, he could even do something more on the outer layer.
This thickness, needless to say, even if there were another first disaster, it wouldn't have much impact inside, would it?
In fact, even if this main shelter really couldn't withstand a disaster, he still had an ultimate insurance—the previously established alloy shelter.
If there were a meteor strike or something, it could probably withstand it.
"Now, it seems the hail won't be a concern, and as long as I don't put flammable items outside, the fire tornado shouldn't be a problem either."
Lin Yue pondered that he indeed had some flammable items in his hands.
Sulfur, nitrate, and a bit of explosive gasoline stocks.
All the random stuff piled outside needed to be figured out how to store properly.
Diesel, sulfur, and nitrate, these flammable and explosive items, also needed to be put in the Storage Space or deeper underground as soon as possible.
Today, since no Lizardman or beggar came to cause trouble, things had gone smoothly and efficiently since he began entering and leaving the Secret Realm.
"Bai, it seems going to the nitrate ore today is impossible. Take some food over there, and when you come back, we'll go to the Secret Realm."
"Gawu." Bai nodded, noticing that the master had taken out the parachute which had fallen from the sky earlier, and had tied a large pile of food inside the thick fabric.
Bai exited the shelter, holding the heavy bag of food in its arms, and quickly flew towards the nitrate ore while Lin Yue went to the basement's warehouse rooms.
Nearly every inch was filled with stacked treasure chests, with hardly any room to step.
Moreover, treasure chests occupied most of the space in the corridors and rooms.
"Piled up like mountains." Lin Yue couldn't help but shake his head.
This 100% treasure chest drop ability, while powerful, also brought some inconveniences.
If the time wasn't spent opening treasure chests, these chests would accumulate and become increasingly dense over time.
"Let's focus on opening treasure chests while Bai isn't back yet. Xiaoliuzi, Hongxian, you two take the others to guard by the window; I'll turn on the air conditioning for you so you'll be comfortable."
Lin Yue loaded the Storage Space with Copper Treasure Chests and returned to the first-floor living room to direct the Little Ice Lizards.
Although opening treasure chests was monotonous, it required full concentration. If Lizardmen or something else came to cause trouble then, it could indeed be dangerous.
The Little Ice Lizards followed orders and went to the window, while Lin Yue covered the living room with Copper Treasure Chests.
There were over a thousand Copper Treasure Chests alone, goodness.
"Alright then, no matter what, I need to open them... Oh, there's also the Wooden Treasure Chest?" Lin Yue remembered the Wooden Treasure Chest dropped by squashing those little bugs earlier, frowning.
He would be busy before Bai returned.
"Then, let's start with the Copper Treasure Chest!"
