I Know All Negative Effects of Entries in Instances

"The instance is about to begin, everyone prepare for battle!"

As the countdown ended, everyone felt darkness in front of them, and upon reappearing, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar territory.

Zhou Yingting looked around and saw a flat plain on all sides, with a river beside it.

"I wonder, what kind of civilization is a Level 10 Civilization? It couldn't be about interstellar warfare, could it?"

"Also, how long does it take to upgrade to a Level 10 Civilization?"

Confused, Zhou Yingting soon set aside his curiosity because upgrading was the most important task right now.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting immediately walked over, finding a steel sphere floating nearby not far from where he had appeared.

This steel sphere had a futuristic look, with a faint glow flashing within the metal.

"Please deploy the research base."

It seems that deploying this research base is necessary before starting technological upgrades.

Zhou Yingting saw this and immediately prepared to deploy.

But as Zhou Yingting clicked to proceed with the deployment, a term jumped out on the metallic sphere.

Term: Level 10 Research Base.

'Effect: Deploying this base will upgrade your civilization to Level 10 as quickly as possible.'

'Negative Effect: The base requires massive resources, please deploy in areas with abundant resources.'

"A negative effect?"

Upon seeing this term clearly, Zhou Yingting's expression lit up with delight.

Not worried that the negative effect is strong, more concerned if there is no negative effect.

Zhou Yingting had experience with terms like these.

According to the previous instance description, the resources here only allow 10 civilizations to upgrade to Level 10.

It seems the resources here are quite scarce.

And now, the term appeared, indicating Zhou Yingting could use Golden Finger to view the resource distribution map?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting quickly started checking his Golden Finger.

As Zhou Yingting examined further, a map appeared below.

And on this map, there were various densely packed resource distribution maps in multiple colors.

Seeing the densely packed resource maps on this map, Zhou Yingting couldn't help but look delighted.

Thinking for a moment, Zhou Yingting suddenly had a thought.

If resources can be seen on the map, perhaps it is possible to estimate the size of the instance map based on this map.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting immediately zoomed out the map.

As the map scale decreased, the various colored resources on the map began to stack together.

But to his surprise, as he continued to zoom out, the map seemed endless.

This scene left Zhou Yingting a bit stunned.

Based on the speed of zooming out, the map size presented now is at least much larger than one Earth.

Continuing to zoom out, Zhou Yingting's look of surprise slowly turned numb.

"This instance seems to be on a very, very large planet.... Could this planet be able to contain hundreds of Earths?"

"But if that's the case, won't the gravity on this planet crush people?"

"Or has this instance undergone some special handling?"

After considering for a moment, Zhou Yingting felt this situation was the most likely.

According to the map scale he just zoomed, this map is surely dozens or even hundreds of times larger than Earth.

But he didn't know the exact scale of each zoom-out moment, so he couldn't make an accurate assessment.

However, it wouldn't be too difficult to know.

By checking the distances between resources on the map, one can roughly calculate the scale ratio.

But Zhou Yingting had no mind to check this now; the most important thing was to first find an area with a wealth of resources and deploy the base.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting zoomed in the map again, then scanned the map carefully, quickly spotting several areas where the colors were densely packed and deep.

Though these looked like they were quite far from his current location.

"What should I do? Isn't it too far to run over there?"

Zhou Yingting stroked the floating metal sphere in front of him, which moved lightly in response, appearing quite buoyant.

Looking at the map in front of him, Zhou Yingting considered whether to go to one of these resource-rich areas.

But noticing the metal sphere began to move with his touch, he paused in surprise.

"Looks like this thing can move?"

Thinking of this, Zhou Yingting pondered for a moment, then with eyes gleaming with odd brightness, sat on the sphere decisively.

When Zhou Yingting sat on the metal sphere, it dipped slightly before gently rising again.

Then, Zhou Yingting felt that this metal sphere seemed to be able to freely fly according to his thoughts.

"Worthy of a Level 10 Civilization's creation, it can even carry people to fly!"

Experiencing this scene, Zhou Yingting's eyes were instantly filled with joy.

He had just been considering whether it was possible to deploy a base in an area richer in resources, and now it seems hopeful.

Under Lin Yi's direction, the metal sphere quickly flew towards the area where resources were more abundant, and the sphere's flight speed was very fast.

After a moment, the metal sphere carrying Zhou Yingting flew to the resource-rich area.

Subsequently, Zhou Yingting immediately began base deployment.

As the metal sphere started to emit an extremely bright light and then landed, it began to transform.

Soon, a gigantic factory rose from the ground.

"Why does this look a bit like Red Alert?"

Looking at this enormous factory and the various mechanized robotic arms inside, it seemed to be a fully automated factory.

Beside the factory was a command room.

After Zhou Yingting walked inside, he saw a screen.

The screen listed various upgradeable Technology Tree items, but apart from the topmost technology, the rest were dim.

Under these technologies, they were also divided from Level 1 to Level 10 accordingly.

"Gold smelting plant."

"Iron mining smelting plant."

"Steel smelting plant....."

Initially, there were various plants, and the construction of these plants required various resources.

Zhou Yingting took a closer look, and one of the main resources needed for these plants was gold.

In the basic base, there was a portion of resources available to build some basic factories.

Zhou Yingting examined carefully and quickly chose the gold exploration vehicle and a gold smelting plant.

Once Zhou Yingting completed his selection, the manufacturing of the gold exploration vehicle and the construction of the gold smelting plant immediately began.

After waiting a moment, the gold exploration vehicle was quickly manufactured, although the gold smelting plant needed a bit more time.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting immediately directed the gold exploration vehicle to survey the gold reserves.

According to the resource distribution map, there seemed to be a golden yellow color on the map, though he wasn't sure if it was gold.

However, Zhou Yingting thought it was possible; even if it wasn't, the exploration vehicle surveying those areas would surely find gold.

As the exploration vehicle moved towards the yellow areas on the distribution map under Zhou Yingting's command, Zhou Yingting waited a moment in the base and soon saw the exploration vehicle's survey results on the base's screen.

As Zhou Yingting had anticipated, the gold reserves detected in that area reached the scale of a large gold mine.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yingting immediately clicked to initiate mining.

The task here was quite simple; he just needed to click, and the exploration vehicle would start deploying and preparing to mine.

Though called an exploration vehicle, it looks more like a combined detection and mining vehicle.

Once the exploration vehicle finished mining, the construction of the gold smelting plant was complete.

After the first batch of gold was smelted, Zhou Yingting immediately manufactured two additional exploration vehicles, increasing the speed of gold mining significantly.

"Next up, there's the oil refinery....."

Regarding energy, aside from oil, there's the power plant.

The base itself came with some electricity, but this limited power couldn't provide much electricity.

Once other factories were built, the electricity supply would definitely lag.

In this electricity system, there were many options provided.

From basic wind, thermal, hydro, and solar power, to more advanced options like nuclear energy, controlled nuclear fusion, and cold nuclear fusion power generation.

Apart from these familiar to Zhou Yingting, there were also options like the Antimatter Reactor, Light Energy Siphoning.

Planetary Core Energy Conversion, Dyson Sphere, Dark Energy Reactor, etc.

But these power generation methods required high-level factory grades, material grades, antimatter manufacturing equipment, which needed exceedingly high levels to obtain.

To reach such a level and use this tier's power generation method, Zhou Yingting was still far from that level.

Currently, the technology with the fastest potential to shine in high power generation seemed to be nuclear power.

However, nuclear power required nuclear fuel, which is uranium ore.

This matter, he wasn't sure if it was marked on his resource distribution map.

Zhou Yingting checked his map; it seemed he could find all colored resources marked on the map.

Even though the distribution of some resources was relatively far from here, far was a bit far, but confirming that there's some is enough.

"Speaking of which, with so much advanced technology here, I wonder if these technologies could be learned and brought back to Earth?"

Zhou Yingting pondered as he looked at the Technology Tree in front of him while scratching his chin.

With so much seemingly advanced technology here, if they could be realized and then brought back, it would truly be something remarkable!
