Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded

#72 - Upgraded batteries, active electric cars, farewell

Lin Feng initially thought that the male Rockhorn Horse he had captured was on the verge of death.

After all, it had such severe injuries, and when subdued, Chen Shanshan had strangled its neck, landing solid punches on its head.

During the process of the three of them carrying it back, it barely struggled in the latter half of the journey, and its breathing gradually weakened.

After the arduous task of carrying it back to the camp, Lin Feng was even prepared to evolve himself another level, but Old Duncan took out a bottle of water mixed with sugar and salt and forcibly poured it into the Rockhorn Horse's mouth.

The previously unconscious male horse instantly woke up, shedding its listless, half-dead state and struggling to break free from the ropes on its limbs.

The injuries on the horse's body also rapidly scabbed over and stopped bleeding at a visible rate.

Lin Feng and Chen Shanshan were both quite astonished.

The self-healing recovery speed of the Rockhorn Horse was truly astonishing, much faster than that of humans.

After grabbing the original cub from the iron cage and stuffing the male Tier 1 Rockhorn Horse inside, Old Duncan stood aside, revealing a long-lost and heartfelt smile, becoming more talkative.

He introduced to Lin Feng and the others:

"The self-healing ability of evolved wild beasts is very strong, especially the males responsible for fighting. As long as there isn't a major hemorrhage, or vital areas like the heart or brain are directly damaged, they can usually withstand multiple injuries."

"Evolvers are actually the same, it's just that our size is too small, making us seem more fragile and unable to compare with wild beasts, but our recovery speed is several times that of a Level 9 Enhanced Human."

"So, I must thank you both for your help this time."

"Without you, we wouldn't have been able to take down a Level 13 male Rockhorn Horse so smoothly."

Lin Feng nodded. This Rockhorn Horse would definitely evolve smoothly to the mid-stage of Tier 1 afterward, and even the leader-level at the late-stage of Tier 1 had a certain chance of advancing.

A Rockhorn Horse with such potential was second only to the leader-level in value. Not to mention the qualifications for an oasis resident, it could at least be exchanged for three or more evolution opportunities.

No wonder Old Duncan was so happy.

After expressing his gratitude, Old Duncan immediately instructed his subordinates to take Lin Feng and the others to dismantle the battery packs.

They removed three sets from their powered vehicle and also detached the batteries from two mountain bikes, handing over a total of five sets of batteries.

The weight reached over one hundred kilograms.

"The batteries are relatively old; they were like this when they were bought. If you need them later, you can go to the Dawn Village engineer and spend some points to refurbish them, or trade them in for new ones."

He personally covered the cage with the male Rockhorn Horse with a layer of black cloth to prevent it from continuing to struggle. After finishing the task, Old Duncan quickly walked over to introduce the batteries to the two.

At this time, Lin Feng squatted down to check the battery packs, and the results flashed in the corner of his eye:

「 Inferior Lead-Acid Battery lv6, White Quality 」

「 Basic Attributes: Storable Electricity 1.5 kWh; Remaining Service Life 480 hours; Durability: 8 / 10; Can Consume One Point of Life Value to Upgrade 」

「 Note: Prolonged continuous use will damage the battery's durability and reduce its service life; Continuous work for 60 hours will reduce one point of durability 」

「 Evaluation: A hand-refurbished old-fashioned lead-acid battery, slow to charge, slow to discharge, and low in power storage; Besides safety, it has no other advantages and can withstand the bumps of the wilderness; Each set can provide seven kilometers of range, and combined with photovoltaic circuits, it can maintain a maximum speed of twenty kilometers per hour 」

Old Duncan was still introducing:

"Each set can store two kilowatt-hours of electricity, and it can be fully charged in just one hour, providing ten kilometers of range for the van. Five sets can add another fifty kilometers, plus the original power, even if you stay here for a few more days, you can easily catch up with the Oasis Town a hundred kilometers away."

Lin Feng nodded, already immune to the false advertising of Dawn Village's shops.

They basically exaggerated by one level in their descriptions.

Inferior quality was presented as ordinary grade, ordinary as premium, and premium as high-end goods.

However, as long as the items were in hand and not yet scrapped, even if the quality was poor, it was just a matter of a little upgrade time and a few life value points for Lin Feng.

Without criticizing Old Duncan, since the latter was also a victim of black-hearted shops and didn't know how to distinguish good from bad, Lin Feng directly took the batteries and left Duncan's team camp, returning to his own team.

Then, he called Liu Mingfei to assemble the batteries.

When ordering this electric vehicle, Lin Feng had already considered the later addition of batteries, allowing the Motorcycle Village and Dawn Village to reserve battery loading space in the initial design.

It was installed below the trunk of the electric vehicle.

The two-square-meter recess was divided into ten compartments.

Wires were also reserved on both sides, which could connect the photovoltaic panel's circuit to this location, and then connect to the motor through the batteries, providing more powerful power for the electric vehicle.

While Liu Mingfei was assembling, Lin Feng also upgraded these five sets of lv6 inferior batteries one by one.

During the upgrade, Lin Feng also discovered a benefit, which was that after becoming an Evolver, he could upgrade low-level white quality equipment to level nine in one go.

He only needed to spend the corresponding points, no longer needing to upgrade level by level like before.

So, while eating evolved minced meat patties, Lin Feng updated and upgraded the five sets of batteries.

「 Basic Attributes: Storable Electricity 3.0 kWh; Remaining Service Life One Thousand Hours; Durability 10 / 10; Can Consume Five Points of Life Value to Upgrade 」

「 Note: Prolonged continuous use will damage the battery's durability and reduce its service life; Continuous work for one hundred hours will reduce one point of durability 」

「 Evaluation: Brand new lead-acid battery, although it still has many inherent shortcomings, it can already meet the needs of long-distance off-roading; Each set can provide fifteen kilometers of range, a total of seventy-five kilometers for five sets, and combined with photovoltaic circuits, it can maintain a maximum speed of thirty kilometers per hour 」

Unfortunately, there were only these five sets now. If all the slots were filled, it could run one hundred and fifty kilometers.

Although compared to the new energy vehicles of the old Earth era, which had a range of six or seven hundred kilometers, or even thousands of kilometers, this distance was of no practical value…

But these were old-fashioned lead-acid batteries. If they could be replaced with lithium batteries with higher energy density, Lin Feng believed that even thousands of kilometers were not a dream.

Although lithium batteries had all the advantages, compared to old-fashioned lead-acid batteries, the biggest defect was instability.

Especially on bumpy roads.

Lin Feng still remembered that there were many electric cars on the road back then. They had to slow down when crossing speed bumps, carefully driving over them, fearing that the vibrations would affect the chassis battery pack.

Therefore, lithium batteries are only suitable for driving on flat roads. It's not realistic to challenge rugged and uneven wastelands.

After completing the assembly and upgrade of the battery, this basic entry-level electric car was finally modified into a powered electric car:

"Light Bus lv10, Red Quality"

"Basic Attributes: Defense 60; Durability 10/10; Maximum Speed 30km/h; Upgraded to Host Level Cap"

"Additional Attributes: Gear Speed Adjustment (Four gears in total, speeds are 1, 5, 10, 30km/h respectively)"

"Note: After assembling the battery pack for an additional power source, an additional 20 kilometers per hour speed increase will be obtained. Under a load of 2.5 tons below 50% capacity, the maximum speed reaches 30 kilometers, continuously driving for 75 kilometers, subsequently reduced to 20 kilometers per hour; under the approved load of 5 tons, the maximum speed is 20 kilometers; with an overload of 7.5 tons, the maximum speed is 10 kilometers."

As expected, after becoming a half-step powered electric car, the attribute strength of the level 10 light bus was fully enhanced.

At standard speed, the load increased to 7.5 tons. Excluding the vehicle's own weight and personnel equipment, it can still have a material carrying capacity of up to five tons.

Equivalent to three first-tier female Rockhorn Horses, or two male Rockhorn Horses.

In this way, the Lin Feng team doesn't have to worry about the hunting plan being limited due to load issues.

After all, no matter how many Rockhorn Horses are hunted, they must be transported back to Oasis Town to exchange for points and purchase equipment.

Otherwise, left in hand, several tons of dried horse meat wouldn't be finished even in half a year.

And to bring back enough prey, one must have sufficient power to catch up with Oasis Town.

This is also the reason why Lin Feng didn't want anything else, only the battery.

The group arriving at the Wild Rift Valley, facing the migrating beast herd, was like guarding a gold mountain.

The only problem is how to transport more gold and turn them into cash in the market.

Now that the problem is solved, Lin Feng is in a good mood and ready to plan the next step.

On the other side, the Duncan team has completed their goal, packed up, and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Old Duncan brought Lisa to say goodbye.

Lin Feng put down the dried meat in his hand and walked towards the two.

Old Duncan said with a bit of emotion and gratitude again:

"This operation was originally planned for four or five days, but I didn't expect it to be completed in less than two days..."

"Thank you, Captain Lin, for your help. If you need any help in the future, just mention it."

"We will complete the handover and return to Oasis Avenue in three days. See you then in Oasis Town."

Lin Feng nodded. If it weren't for the beast herd gathering in the rift valley under his feet, which would end in a few days, he would have wanted to follow Duncan's group to contact other forces in the wasteland and obtain more information.

Oasis Town is still too small, and the wasteland information that can be obtained from it is too narrow and somewhat one-sided.

After expressing his gratitude, Old Duncan regained his serious expression and solemnly instructed:

"With your current strength, there is no big problem in hunting Rockhorn Horse herds outside the Gulf Rift Valley, but capturing live horses, especially first-tier male Rockhorn Horses, is still somewhat dangerous. Be careful."

"Secondly, don't hunt Rockhorn Horses too frequently, as it will cause different horse herds to gather and merge in order to protect themselves, following the leader-level Rockhorn Horse."

"Leader-level Rockhorn Horses are very aggressive and will actively drive away potential enemies. Be sure to stay away when encountering them."

"Finally, regarding the bottom of the rift valley, after all the Rockhorn Horse herds have left, if you want to go in and pick up horse corpses, try to stay away from the deepest cave in the rift valley."

"It is said that there are unknown dangers inside. Someone once saw a string of shadows floating in the pool during an exploration, and there were also low, hoarse roars, definitely not the neighing of Rockhorn Horses..."

"In short, be careful."

After speaking, Old Duncan left this place.

Then Lisa, who was next to him, stepped forward and took out two ropes with three grappling hooks from behind, handing them to Lin Feng:

"If you want to catch live horses, you should be able to use them. However, it takes some experience to learn. I grew up on a farm in the old era and learned some from my dad and brother, so I picked it up quickly."

"The lasso technique is not too difficult, just practice more."

"This skill is still quite useful in the wasteland. You can practice more when you have time."

Lin Feng took the two lasso ropes:

"Thank you, I will practice."

Lisa nodded twice, then looked down at her toes, somewhat hesitant...

Finally, with a slightly red face, she mustered her courage and said:

"I should be researching Rockhorn Horses all the time in the future. When I cultivate leader-level or even patriarch-level ones, you can come over to exchange for evolution source essence!"

"Although the evolution path of Rockhorn Horses has low potential, at least the technology is already very mature, and the growth rate will be very fast, so don't worry too much."

Lin Feng nodded, so that's what it was about.

So he replied with a smile:

"Understood, then I'll say thank you in advance. If you need anything in the future, as long as the reward is in place, you are always welcome."

Lisa nodded and smiled, then turned around and chased after Old Duncan's back.

Watching the Duncan team get in the car, start the electric car, and drive away, Lin Feng held the lasso rope in his hand, feeling somewhat emotional.

"Tsk tsk ~"

At this moment, A'lian's clicking sound came from behind.

Lin Feng turned his head and saw that the girls in the team were all looking this way, with expressions that were not the same, but all with a teasing meaning.

A'lian and A'ming looked like they were watching a show, especially the former who even wanted to encourage Lin Feng to chase after her.

Liu Qian and Ding Yi were a little unhappy.

Chen Shanshan had the biggest change, looking at Lisa's figure, with some hostility in her eyes.

And in the driver's seat of the electric car, Liu Mingfei leaned against the car window glass, with a look of envy:

"Captain, why not go and learn a foreign language?"

Lin Feng glared at everyone:

"Now we are the only team left, shouldn't we be happy? There are so many Rockhorn Horse herds, no one is competing with us!"

"Prepare, prepare, start the next hunting operation!"
