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

Of course, the improvement effect is also immediate and powerful.

The time unit for energy recharge changes directly from hours to minutes.

Came to 192.5 points/minute.

This is equivalent to increasing the recovery speed by a full 60 times.

This is just the improvement effect of "Sport Mode".

But he saw that there were two reactor output modes under the options.

Those two levels are called "Combat Stance" and "Continuous Combat Stance".

Of course, it is not that easy to activate the "combat stance".

Taking his [Kite] as an example, you need to upgrade the hull level to Lv. 6 to unlock it.

The "continuous fighting posture" requires the hull level to be upgraded to Lv.11.

Silently, I checked the meaning of this fighting posture through the plug-in.

To put it simply, "combat posture" is to increase the energy recovery speed by 60 times again on the basis of "sports mode".

Increased from recovering 192.5 energy per "minute" to 192.5 energy per "second".

It looks very strong, but for him, this move is not very practical.

First of all, the ship [Kite] is, to put it bluntly, a guided missile frigate.

In a sense, "missiles" consume additional ammunition.

All the energy consumed by the missile launch is borne by the propellant of the missile body itself.

Unlike pulse lasers or railguns, which require energy from a power furnace for charging.

Except for the little energy consumed by the radar when locking on the enemy, there is not much consumption at all.

And without consumption, there would be no need for "combat posture"

And the energy supply effect of the "combat stance" is as abnormal as its consumption.

The service life of nuclear fuel will decline sharply in this state. It can only last for a few hours of energy supply at most, and then it will completely decay.

It hurts~

. . .

As time passes by minute by minute.

After more than 10 minutes, the battleship's energy reserve reached 2100 points.

After 15 seconds, 2000 energy points were consumed.

Looking at the data from the detector, he scratched his head and sighed helplessly.

As expected, the data shows that this area is still a "barren" area for silver and titanium minerals.

Except for adding 5 player gathering places again, there is nothing special.

Start the engine and advance another 2,000 kilometers. Then Zhao Feng controls the battleship and lands on the ground.

As the hatch in the belly of the aircraft opened, Zhao Feng took Ruolan and Buck out of the battleship and began to clean up the small tide of corpses around them.

There was no way, it would take at least 25 minutes for the battleship to be fully charged. He couldn't just wait in the battleship, right?

It's better to take Ruolan out to kill monsters and practice courage, while also being able to level up and make full use of your time.

In this way, every time he continued to explore twice, Zhao Feng stopped and took Ruolan out to upgrade.

Ruolan was a little afraid of zombies at first, but as she killed more zombies, she became more and more familiar with them.

In addition, Zhao Feng told her from time to time about the origin of the zombies and the history of the Daleros people committing suicide.

Ruolan's fear at the beginning slowly turned into pity.

When killing these zombies, her movements no longer hesitated and became extremely firm.

In Ruolan's words, she was doing good deeds to help the souls imprisoned in the rotten flesh to be liberated.

Soon her level was raised to Lv. 10, and Ruolan also received the same advanced mission as Zhao Feng.

[Participate in killing mutants]

He even curiously compared it with historical records, and found that there was not even a word wrong.

Zhao Feng touched his chin, thinking.

As he continued to explore, he soon drove the [Kite] to the "junction of Yin and Yang" on the planet.

The so-called junction of yin and yang is actually the "equator" that is reborn after being locked by the tide.

There is neither the intense heat on the sunny side of the planet nor the extreme cold on the negative side.

It can be said to be the most suitable area for survival on RTX4090.C.

Also in this area, he discovered the largest player gathering place at present, with a full 30,000 players gathered here.

Its prosperity far exceeded any gathering place he had discovered before.

Also because of its favorable environment, there are not only enough players here.

The number of groups of various mutated creatures is also extremely terrifying.

According to the information displayed on the radar, this "equatorial" area with a width of more than 2,000 kilometers is almost densely populated by mutant biological groups.

Just below where the [Kite] is hovering, there is a group of mutated creatures similar to rhinos.

Of course, they are just similar in appearance, and their appearance is actually fundamentally different from the rhinos on Earth.

For example, these "rhinos" have 6 legs, and the smallest ones are as big as elephants, and their horns must be about 10 meters long.

If you get stabbed by this thing. . . hiss.

Thinking of the consequences of being stabbed by this thing, Zhao Feng couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

In addition to mutant creatures, there are also many mutant plants in this area, such as "tree men".

Zhao Feng, who was sitting in the battleship, not only saw the "tree man", he also saw several super giant piranha flowers.

All these mutated plants can move. . . This is thanks to their unusually developed plant roots, which allow them to imitate the legs and feet of mutated creatures, pull themselves out and move forward.

Weird yet a little natural. . . It's very contradictory.

In addition, Zhao Feng also discovered that they were completely different from the mutant creatures cultivated at the [Titan Laboratory].

Most of the ones cultivated by [Titan Laboratory] are pure killing machines.

Biological weapons have been researched to the extreme over there, and all enhancements are aimed at more efficient killing.

The mutants here retain the wildest part of the creature and are more original. Regardless of whether the mutation is good or bad, all are preserved.

For example, he saw a four-eyed red wolf, a two-headed deer, a humanoid fish monster, and a hundred-legged lamprey through optical instruments. . .

Obviously, except for a few groups, the evolutionary direction of most of them is completely off track.

There is no visible increase in combat power at all, but his unique appearance can put people off.

Apart from these strange animals and plants, there are almost no traces of zombies here.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Feng remembered that zombies are disgusted with light and will definitely not come here.

This brings good news. If you live here, there will be no zombie crisis or anything like that.

The bad news is that mutated creatures are not only more numerous than zombies, they are also generally more powerful than mutated zombies.

And never mind how sorry they look or how impressive their strength looks.

That is also compared with the same kind of mutated creatures.

If it were a 1V1 match against human players, it's really hard to say who would survive.

And the most important thing.

The living mutated creatures have survived the screening of the "ancient whispers" and the cleansing of the Cleaners.

That means their spirit, or intelligence, is not too weak.

In addition, there are some alienated individuals, such as giant creatures that cannot be penetrated by electromagnetic guns, and scaly mutant creatures that can refract pulse lasers.

All conditions add up.

In such a dangerous environment, Zhao Feng was actually more curious about how the players here gathered together and survived. . .

He shook his head to recover some of his wandering thoughts.

His eyes looked at the mutated creatures surging like waves, and the blue and green lights that kept erupting from the city wall.

Stare at each ray of light and extinguish the "wave" rushing towards you again and again.

Staring at the wall that was not too thick but blocked so many mutated creatures, Zhao Feng suddenly felt a little sad.

"Human beings are indeed the spirit of all things."

He didn't approach, let alone help, he just watched from afar.

Use optical observation instruments and radar scanning to observe the situation in the settlement.

After observing for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Have these players turned on legion mode?

Because during the radar scan, there was actually only one laboratory here.

Compared with the massive number of industrial buildings and energy buildings in the settlement, there is no match at all.

He glanced at the several electromagnetic sentry cannons standing on the city wall, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Okay, more people means more power! The building level has actually risen to the third stage."

Put this settlement on your list of things to watch.

Then he silently adjusted the angle of the battleship and controlled it to fly around the settlement and towards the sunny side of the planet.

As for going forward and pretending to be a wave, killing mutated creatures and the like. . .

To be honest, it doesn't make any sense. It's not a live broadcast. How much hope can you get from putting in the effort and effort to show it to tens of thousands of people?

It would be better to complete the ore detection mission quickly and make up for the shortcomings as soon as possible.

After stopping and going, he spread out several more waves of detection. Finally, after circling more than half of the planet, he finally found traces of silver ore and titanium ore on the edge of the "equator" on the other side.

The probability of searching for ore is also strange. Otherwise, it cannot be found. If it is found, two of them will appear together.

Controlling the [Kite], he conducted additional targeted area detection directly above the two mineral deposits, and soon obtained specific data.

Silver mine reserves: 200,000 units, mineral purity: 12% silver per unit.

Depth: 80-630 meters

Ilmenite reserves: 150,000 units, mineral purity: 20% titanium, 35% iron per unit.

Depth: 50-160 meters

Without stopping too much, control the battleship and continue moving forward.

Finally, after several hours of navigation and exploration, Zhao Feng circled the planet and returned to his home base.

In the second half of the journey, he discovered two silver mines and one titanium mine.

Returning to the top of the base, Zhao Feng scratched his head and looked at the map he opened with some depression.

‘This energy is useless! Would it have been better if we had known to go from the west? ’

Complaints are all complaints, but he still gained a lot from this "global" exploration.

Found 56 player settlements.

Almost, a total of 90,000 people, mostly small settlements of a hundred people.

There is only one settlement for 10,000 people, and 10 for 1,000 people.

This information laid a sufficient foundation for his next plan to recruit players.

And he also thought about the next recruitment strategy during this exploration process.

First, get rid of all small gathering places.

His main targets for recruiting people were all in the 13 large and medium-sized settlements.

As for why not just integrate those small strongholds into an organic system. . .

To be honest, it's too troublesome and dangerous.

At the current point in time, it is likely that the small strongholds have been integrated.

There is a high probability that it is a highly unified state internally.

If internal disputes continue and the zombie tide continues to sweep away, those small settlements will simply not be able to survive.

Once Zhao Feng goes to recruit them, it is very likely that they will all need to migrate.

That is equivalent to recruiting a group of small families that have been integrated internally and have a self-circulation system and a hierarchical system.

On his side, if Lang adds a dog, it can be counted as two and a half people at most.

When the time comes, when these players find out the details of the base, they will inevitably have unnecessary ambitions.

The more such "families" there are in the base, the harder it will be to manage.

Of course, he can also clean up these players, but why bother?

Why not address this risk in the first place, or delay it?

In order to avoid these problems that would give him a headache just thinking about it.

Zhao Feng decided to go to large settlements to recruit people.

Although the pressure to survive in large gathering areas is smaller, supplies are more scarce.

Although there are factions, the bottom group is still more united as a family.

He believes that once he starts recruiting people, he will definitely attract a lot of talents.

The problem of factional families is easier to solve.

He only had to recruit a small number of men in different large settlements.

Even if these people he recruited find out his details and want to cause trouble.

This is because the players in the base come from different settlements.

They have not experienced life and death together, and the bond between them is very shallow.

In this case, the ambition of one person or one family is not enough to cause enough damage.

It is equivalent to a different kind of mutual restraint.

It is somewhat similar to the remote service system used in ancient and modern times.

In short, it is to delay the time for players to form factions or even clans as much as possible.

At least for him, Zhao Feng didn't want civilization to regress.

Silently writing all the plans in the shipboard AI, as a memorandum, he connected to the wireless power supply network of the underground airport to replenish the energy of the battleship.

After finalizing the plan, Zhao Feng let out a long breath, stood up and walked out of the battleship, activated his telekinesis, and returned to the underground airport alone, strengthening the 192 completed swarm missile launchers to Level 6 one by one.

Another wave of consumption of hope.

Staring at the "swarm" that rose to Level 6, Zhao Feng nodded with satisfaction.

The newly upgraded swarm launcher is several times larger in appearance than before.

Attributes have also become more exaggerated.

The number of single launches has been directly increased from 4 at Lv.1 to 14 now.

If all the swarm missile launchers in his hand were fired in one salvo, it would be a rain of 84 missiles.

Also improved are the power, range, ammunition load, and reloading speed of the "Swarm".

And a new qualitative change attribute [Flying of the Bumble Bee]

(Flying of the Bumblebee: After activating this ability, the missile reloading time is reduced to 0.1 seconds, and missiles will continue to be fired until the magazine is emptied. CD: 24 hours)

Staring at the abnormal qualitative change attributes, Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel a little numb.

Then he suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubt.

‘It’s unscientific. Why doesn’t pulse laser have qualitative properties? ’

(Tip: The S-type swarm missile launcher cannot be carried by a single soldier, has no miniaturization function, and can only be used on a weapon platform. It has stronger expansion capabilities. All equipment of this type can be upgraded to Lv. 6 after being strengthened. May activate additional qualitative properties.)
