Chapter 94 Discussion of Cold Iron Ore
Back at the vehicle, Yu Qi found that the upgrade had been successful, and under the dim lantern light, it looked no different from before.
However, once inside, it was discovered that almost all the materials had changed.
"Seventh Brother, welcome home! Would you like to check out the new features after the upgrade? I guarantee you'll love them!" The little assistant transformed into a silver-white sprite projection and flew in mid-air.
"How about it? This is the upgraded feature. It can project my image using projection technology. However, the current level is still a bit lacking, otherwise my body would be even more refined!"
The silvery-white figure flew back and forth like a bolt of lightning.
Yu Qi stretched out his hand, and the little assistant stopped directly in his palm.
Upon closer inspection, this small body resembles a simple, idle figure drawn with a silver pen, lacking even hair, with a bald head and no fingers.
It looks quite cute now.
"Sixth Brother, just tell me about the upgraded features." Yu Qi was also looking forward to the Level 6 vehicle.
"One of the functions is similar to what I mentioned before, allowing you to switch between different lifestyle modes, such as forest grassland, moonlit beach, vast snowfield, or the sound of the rising and falling tides of the sea..."
"But don't misunderstand, using this feature doesn't mean you'll be in the grasslands..."
"This is just a new energy air system that allows you to feel the grasslands, the sea, and the snowfields, and breathe the freshest air."
After the system finished speaking, Yu Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Does the vehicle have waterproof capabilities? If I'm underwater, can I experience this breathing system?"
The assistant nodded: "It's not just waterproof. Level 6 vehicles have a diving function, allowing you to stay in the water for two hours a day. Even underwater, you can use this breathing system."
"In addition to waterproofing and a new energy air system, the Tier VI armored vehicle has many more important functions, such as the ability to manufacture the weapons provided by the vehicle based on the blueprints provided after the vehicle upgrade."
The system displays a weapon blueprint using a projected image.
Yu Qi discovered that the blueprint was for a vehicle-mounted solar-powered machine gun.
The vehicle-mounted functional machine gun can be charged by solar energy and does not require any energy supply from the other side. It can accumulate solar energy every day.
In addition to this weapon, there is also an imaging system inside the vehicle.
She can clearly see the scene 500 meters away from inside the vehicle.
In-car panoramic imaging is an even more crucial feature that we'll be able to use going forward!
If she drives a vehicle to the bottom of the water, she definitely won't be able to get out of the vehicle to see the outside world!
However, in-car imaging can display everything outside!
Yu Qi opened the blueprints for the vehicle-mounted solar-powered machine gun.
Materials required for the vehicle-mounted solar-powered machine gun: 100 solar panels, 5 solar energy storage tanks, 2 powerful thrusters, 100 universal metals, and 50 special metals.
This vehicle-mounted laser machine gun won't be made overnight.
She had never heard of solar energy storage tanks and thrusters.
"Little helper, next, you need to focus on collecting the raw materials needed for the solar-powered machine guns. One vehicle can carry two solar-powered machine guns, so we need to arm the vehicles!"
Yu Qi planned to drive a vehicle underwater after reaching the water area to see what was there.
Since the area has been moved to the water, the treasure chest must have gone with it. She suspected that the treasure chest might have been placed at the bottom of the water or floated on the surface.
With such a wide expanse of water, a huge ship cannot possibly carry only one vehicle; most of the vehicles are likely to encounter each other.
At that time, people were the most dangerous.
However, Yu Qi also had some concerns.
Will I ever see Brother Tiger again?
She drove the vehicle back to her own vehicle and went outside to look around, but did not find Tiger Brother.
With only a few health bars faintly visible in the darkness, Yu Qi pierced through the monsters with a soft "plop" and threw them into the food processing workshop to decompose the fresh meat.
It seems we need to store more land-based food. If we end up on the water, the monsters we encounter will definitely be all kinds of fish. We can't eat fish every day, can we?
Yu Qi felt that her vegetables would definitely be more popular once they were in the water!
It was already very late, so she quickly washed up and lay down to sleep.
I slept without any dreams.
Upon waking up, Yu Qi immediately asked her assistant about her temperature.
"Seventh Brother, the temperature has risen another ten degrees today, reaching fifty degrees. Your 2333 region has lost another five or six hundred people."
The assistant squatted by the window, propping his head up with his hand.
Yu Qi sighed; she knew this heatwave wouldn't end easily.
Upon opening the chat lobby, I indeed found countless people wailing in despair.
However, she also noticed that the AAA grocery shopping group was tagging her.
The bald girl's stubbornness: "Boss, are you awake yet? I've discovered that those cold iron ores are indeed very useful. How about we sell them together after you wake up?"
Dreaming of becoming a live-in son-in-law: "Just one piece of cold iron ore can lower the temperature inside the car by 10-20 degrees Celsius. What do you all think is a good price?"
Lolita: "Anything is fine with me, just name your price."
Xinghe Rumeng: "I don't think we can sell it for too high a price, because we're heading to the water area next, and there might be a high-temperature disaster then."
Currently, this kind of cold iron ore can indeed be sold at a high price, but if it arrives in the water tomorrow or the day after, most people who buy it will not use it for many days and will definitely feel resentful.
This is the human heart.
They just bought it at a high price, only to find that it wouldn't last long at all. Even though they understand some of the big principles, they're bound to feel resentful.
The man in white, brewing tea, said, "How about we don't sell it? I remember this cold iron ore can be used to make weapons. How about we make weapons together?"
Rampaging Lolita: "Making weapons shouldn't require this much cold iron ore. When we sell things, we can explain the pros and cons clearly. If they want to live more comfortably, they'll buy it."
"If some people feel it's not worth it since they'll be going to the water soon, then they shouldn't buy it!"
The temperature is already over 50 degrees Celsius today. Who can be sure that going into the water will cool things down?
Silent and reserved: "I'll follow the hunter's lead. Whatever price the hunter sells for, I'll sell for."
The others in the group nodded in agreement.
When Yu Qi arrived, she happened to see this sentence, and she quickly read through the rest of the text.
Hunting Moment: "Now, each of you has two or three hundred pieces of cold iron ore. If you want to make weapons, keep at least twenty or thirty pieces."
"The rest should be exchanged for energy and various upgrade materials. Food can be obtained anywhere. Monster meat is available every day, and I also sell fruits and vegetables in the group every day."
"But once the vehicle is upgraded to level six, it gains waterproofing, allowing it to stay underwater for up to two hours. It also gains different air systems, so you can feel the atmosphere of different places right inside the vehicle..."
"This feature is most needed when venturing into water, and I suspect..."
Yu Qi also shared her guess about the treasure chest in the water area.
After this content was shared, teammates in the group all came out to express their gratitude.
Lolita: "The expert's analysis is excellent. I was just thinking of exchanging some special resources to cultivate some bugs, but now it seems that I should upgrade the vehicle as quickly as possible."
"Otherwise, vehicles below level six would be doomed if they fell into the water, and who knows if there wouldn't be a fight on the ship?"
Star River in Dreams: "The hunter's analysis is much more comprehensive than I thought. If the vehicles had a diving function, that would be fantastic!"
"I also suspect that once many vehicles gather on the ship, friction of all sizes will be unavoidable. This feature is simply a lifesaver!"
So, everyone in the grocery shopping group agreed to leave thirty pieces of cold iron ore as the raw material for forging weapons later.
Then sell all the remaining ore to exchange for energy stones and various upgrade materials.
Star River in Dreams: "However, upgrading to level six isn't that easy, because my vehicle is only at level five. I just took a look, and upgrading a vehicle to level six requires a lot of special resources."
"We need 500 intermediate-level energy stars and 100 enhancement cards. It's unlikely we can collect that many in a short time."
Hunting Moment: "Indeed, it's very difficult to gather enough resources for a level 6 vehicle. I only managed to collect enough by opening the vehicle upgrade gift pack that the system gave me last time."
"However, we probably won't be heading to the waters so soon. Everyone can try to exchange for more resources in the next few days."
Everyone in the group sighed. Baiyi Zhucha's vehicle had only just reached level four, and he was still a long way from level five.
