Survival on the Star Sea: Starting from a small broken ship and becoming stronger

Before strengthening, he wanted to see what the so-called [Comprehensive Technology Tree] was like.

Raise your hand and click on the [Comprehensive Technology Tree] option.

With a "swish", the HUD interface in front of you instantly enlarged.

It's not as flashy as he imagined, with plenty of options for him to choose from.

There was only one very simple option before him.

【Materials Science 0/5】

[Time required for research: 3600 hours]

[Number of auxiliary researchers: 50]

(Materials Science: Level 1, can unlock all manufacturing permissions for T3 level materials, and unlock the next branch, Industrial Materials Science.)

(Note that due to your talents and skills, the research time for this technology has actually been reduced by 50%)

Staring at the explanation given by the plug-in, Zhao Feng was still confused.

‘T3? What the hell is that? There are more and more new terms, and my brain is running out of space! ’

(T3 is the technology level, and material technology starts from the lowest T0 level, such as wood, iron, and copper)

(The material technology carried by basic industrial buildings is only up to T2, that is, alloys, cables, titanium alloys, silicon crystals, titanium crystals, etc.)

(Nuclear fuel is special among them. Although it is a T2 material, only T3 material technology can exert most of the power of nuclear energy, and only T4-level materials can bring "nuclear energy" to its extreme.)

After carefully reading the plug-in explanation and then looking at the research time required for the initial technology, Zhao Feng fell into silence.

‘. . . ’

‘Technology. . . It only takes 3,600 hours to reach level 1. It seems that gathering players has to be put on the agenda. ’

‘It’s best to have scientific research capabilities. ’

He sighed and put the matter of recruiting people aside for now.

Open the Base tab in the System panel.

Scroll to the energy consumption column.

[Energy output from the base: 39,600 units/day]

[Total energy consumption required for base operation: 9612 units/day]

[Extra energy used today: 9250 units]

[Current power station energy storage speed: 1650 units/hour]

[Current available energy: 54 units]

Staring at the data given by the system, Zhao Feng was a little confused.

‘Is there so much consumption? I have accelerated it many times, but the consumption will not exceed 3000 at most, right? ’

‘At most, it’s just using up the electricity that was saved before. How can it be possible that there is only such a small amount of energy left? ’

(Hint: The process of reverse derivation used more than 5,000 units of energy.)

‘Oh, that’s right. Is the energy consumption of reverse derivation hidden? No wonder. . . ’

As for why the current available energy is only 54 units.

That's because power generation equipment is not a one-time explosion, but a linear growth process.

In fact, it will take more than ten hours to fully replenish it and reach the production value displayed by the system.

Since he can't use it for the time being, he can only continue to go out and mine.

In this way, Zhao Feng started the busy ant moving mode.

Use telekinesis to constantly travel back and forth between the base and [Titan Laboratory].

Each round-trip flight, plus the unloading and deployment of the production line, all these messy things together take 30-50 minutes.

It will take about an hour to fill up the auxiliary backpack by mining below.

At first, he was not very familiar with the process, and each trip took at least 2 hours.

But as the number of transports increases, his work efficiency is constantly streamlined and improved.

After arriving, it only took one and a half hours to deliver supplies.

After 20 hours of busy work, the 12 Level 3 refining workshops in the base were filled with radiation ore and rare earth ore.

During this period, he also built a [Module Component Manufacturing Workshop] along the way.

That is equivalent to an expanded and upgraded version of the [Equipment Manufacturing Workshop].

Through it, you can choose to manufacture [smart chips]

Before he could analyze it, Zhao Feng had been thinking about how difficult it would be to make such an advanced technology as a chip?

But once it is deduced. . .

[Smart chip]? high tech? That’s it~

[Silicon x5, silicon crystal x1, alloy x1, normal temperature superconductor x1, energy consumption: 2 units, time consumption: 20 minutes]

This manufacturing demand is simply child's play.

After a few random accelerations, 100 units of smart chips were assembled, but Zhao Feng did not put all of them into production on smart chips.

He still has 200 units of room-temperature superconductor, which he cannot use until he finds a silver mine.

As for alloys, because the refining workshop has been upgraded to Level 3, the inventory has risen instead of falling.

The refining efficiency of the workshop is very high.

The shell and wreckage of the shuttle were quickly disassembled.

During this period, Zhao Feng also threw the dismantled skeleton of the shuttle in.

However, because the keel of the spacecraft is made of titanium alloy, the efficiency is slightly slower.

But after all, the base number is small, and it won't take long to decompose them all.

The other eight refining workshops are refining nuclear fuel and rare elements respectively.

At this time, the nuclear fuel reserves in the base have reached more than 20,000 points.

After 20 hours of work, the energy reserve at this time has also increased.

Staring at the more than 25,000 points of reserve energy, Zhao Feng took out 16 shuttles for synthesis without hesitation.

After bursts of dazzling light came from the hall on the B5 floor, a full 16,000 energy sources were consumed.

In exchange, they received 8 Level 2 shuttles.

Looking at the row of shuttles in front of him, Zhao Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Then he returned to the commander's lounge on the B2 floor and went to find his wife for comfort. . .

As for the next strengthening, we can only wait until tomorrow due to insufficient energy.

. . .

Day after day, day after day.

The simple but fulfilling days passed like this.

Three days later, Zhao Feng stood on the B5 floor again, looking at the only two Level 4 shuttles left, and took a deep breath.

The synthesis in the past few days can be said to be extremely dark, with a 25% critical hit rate without even a single critical hit.

Normally, it must be triggered once after being synthesized 4 times, right?

Good guy, not even once! Throughout the whole process, he had a dark face, and he was extremely non-Emirati.

In today's synthesis, Zhao Feng no longer has any expectations for critical hits or anything like that, just pretend that attribute doesn't exist.

In his eyes, there is no joy or sadness. He has already entered the state of a sage. It doesn't matter whether he is a critical hit or not.

Anyway, he was very satisfied with being able to strengthen all the way to Level 5 with a 100% success rate.

As soon as the thought comes to mind, activate the superposition strengthening device on the chest.

The enhancement page quickly popped up in front of his eyes.

[Selection completed, Lv.4 shuttle-kite x2]

[Enhancement Category: Battleship]

[Current strengthening success rate: 100%]

[Calculating the energy required for this enhancement. . . 】

[Calculation completed. . . 】

[This enhancement requires energy consumption: 16000]

"strengthen!"

The familiar rays in his chest spurted out again.

The two shuttles in front of me gradually became blurry and began to overlap.

But in the next second, something was triggered, and the two shuttles that were about to be superimposed returned to their original positions.

At the same time, new information pops up.

[Trigger the enhanced critical strike effect, and you will get two Level 5 shuttles. 】

"Should I wipe it?"

"real or fake?!"

Although I was extremely confused in my heart, the facts were right in front of me after all.

The enhancement just now was indeed a critical hit!

Narrowing his eyes, Zhao Feng gritted his teeth and chose to strengthen again.

‘It used to require 16,000 energy, but now it’s doubled to only 32,000. I came to strengthen it a day late because I was afraid of any accidents. Unexpectedly, I hit the target! ’

Touching the tattoo on his chest, the enhancement page popped up before his eyes as soon as he thought.

[Selection completed, Lv.5 shuttle-kite x2]

[Enhancement Category: Battleship]

[Current strengthening success rate: 50%]

(Hope points can be consumed to increase the success rate. Each 1% increase requires 100,000 hope points.)

[Calculating the energy required for this enhancement. . . 】

[The strengthening materials have reached Lv.5 and the intermediate strengthening mode has been activated. . . Required energy recalculated]

[Calculation completed. . . 】

[This enhancement requires energy consumption: 50,000]

"Oh my god!"

The information on the enhanced page was basically what he expected.

For example, if he needs 5 million hope worth or something, it's all within his affordability.

Only the consumption of energy was something he didn't expect at all.

‘This is a price that starts from the ground up! ’

I complain in my heart, but I still have to spend the resources that should be spent.

But now there is a problem. The energy storage and power generation efficiency of power stations are consistent.

Nuclear power plants are stronger, and their energy storage can reach 150% of their own power generation.

In other words, with a total production capacity of 39,600, he can only store 57,600 units at most.

If you want to strengthen it, you have to wait another 10 hours, including the remaining energy.

He sighed helplessly, based on the principle of not wasting time.

He chose to continue going to [Titan Laboratory] for mining.

10 minutes later.

Came to the core area of ​​[Titan Laboratory] again.

At this time, the deep pit in the core area has expanded several times during the past few days of excavation.

The depth reached a thousand meters.

Similarly, the radioactive residue in the pit at this time has also dropped from the previous peak of 2850 millisieverts/hour.

It dropped to 855 millisieverts/hour.

It is not difficult to see that the radiation mineral deposits here are close to exhaustion.

Fortunately, there are still many rare earth mines, and there has not yet been any reduction in production.

But it doesn’t matter if it dries up.

At this time, more than 20,000 units of nuclear fuel had been refined at his home.

and 6,500 units of rare elements.

It can be said that it is full of rewards and can fully support his development for a long time.

Soon Zhao Feng filled the auxiliary backpack again and started to return.

. . .

On the ice not far from Zhao Feng's base, a group of evolved zombies surrounded the Titan zombies.

Listening to the sonic boom that flew away again above their heads, they didn't even raise their heads, and lay completely flat on the ice sheet one by one.

move? I don’t want to move at all!

If you were a fool, you would know what was going on after being slipped away for so many days.

What's more, the evolved bodies are not fools, they still have some wisdom.

After being evaded by Zhao Feng for several days, they finally discovered something more interesting than chasing.

That is. . .

Lie flat!

Zhao Feng, who was flying through the sky at this time, was not aware of the situation below. He was still thinking about the base reserves.

. . .

Another long time passed, and finally the energy reserve reached the synthesis requirements.

Enduring the excitement in his heart, Zhao Feng chose to strengthen [Kite] to Lv.6.

This reinforcement is different from the past.

Probably the so-called intermediate intensive mode.

After the two shuttles were superimposed together, the hull was gradually lengthened, taller and wider.

The basic appearance of [Kite] is still the same.

The number of engines at the rear has also been increased from the previous 2 to 5.

The flat body is more streamlined, and the dark paint looks murderous.

If there was something like the B2 stealth bomber on Earth before,

After this upgrade, it becomes. . .

Super B2 bomber, the theme of changes is big, big, big!

Get bigger in every direction.

There are more engines, the wingspan is longer, and the engine nozzles become thicker.

Clicking on its upgraded attribute panel, Zhao Feng looked at it carefully.

[Shuttle-Kite]

[Level: Lv.6]

[Battleship level: large frigate]

[Hull length: 68 meters]

[Hull width: 136.5]

[Hull height: 12.6 meters]

[Hull structure: double layer]

[Required crew: 1 person]

[Maximum number of passengers: 105 people]

[Maximum load capacity: 105 tons]

[Maximum speed in space environment: Mach 525]

[Maximum speed on the planet: Mach 20]

(Unable to escape the gravity of the planet, it can be mounted on a launch vehicle or ejected into deep space using an accelerated orbit.)

[Radar monitoring range: 35 light seconds]

[Monitored range: 17.5 light seconds]

[Hull structure: 3150/3150]

[Hull Armor: 525/525]

[Energy core power: 192.5 points/hour]

【Notice! The energy consumption of weapons and equipment cannot be greater than the energy core power]

[Energy storage capacity: 0/4900]

[Built-in escape hatch: 10]

【Hangar: 2】

[Shield: None] [Requires plug-in installation]

[Weapon system: S-type universal slot x3, S-type missile slot x6]

[Shipboard Tactical System: Mobile Propeller]

[The ship lacks nuclear fuel and can also be replaced by other energy supply methods. 】

[Do you want to connect to the local power supply network to charge the energy storage? 】

"Crush 100 points first."

There isn't a lot of energy in the base, so it would be difficult to fill up the spaceship's energy storage, but it would still be no problem to hit 100 points and activate the basic functions of the spacecraft.

As the energy recharge was completed, the shuttle in front of him seemed to come to life.

Along with the lighting system, contour display system, and self-test steps are carried out one by one.

The hatch that was quickly moved to the belly of the fuselage was slowly opened.

It seems to be welcoming the arrival of its new owner.

However, Zhao Feng was not in a hurry to go there.

First, he walked around the spaceship and carefully looked up and down at his future ship.

Although its purpose is still a shuttle, its huge hull is nothing like the compact structure of a shuttle.

On the contrary, it looks more like a murderous battleship.

And, in addition to the changes in appearance, there are also many internal upgrades.

Compared with Lv.1, all the S-shaped slots, weapon slots and even shields that needed to be unlocked or modified before are completely opened.

Just unlocking these functions saved him a lot of exploration and development steps.

In addition to these, the most deceptive plug-in in [Kite] [civilian-class hull] has also been completely eliminated by this upgrade.

If that thing were installed on the ship, it would probably be about the same as a light bulb when sailing in deep space.

Increase the detection distance of the enemy and shorten the distance of discovering the enemy. This attribute is really numb.

Properly beat the plug-in.

After two more circles, Zhao Feng came to the belly of the aircraft and entered the interior of the spacecraft through the open hatch.

It was at the same time that he stepped into the spacecraft.

A female mechanical voice came from inside the cabin.

"Dear Captain, welcome to your arrival!"

"Excuse me, do you bind the captain's authority?"

. . .
