In the end, Jenny could only send the fish to her mouth with tears in her eyes.
With a whoosh, the grilled fish disappeared. At the same time, Jenny's hunger bar in the lower-left corner returned to 100 points.
"So this counts as being full? Then what about this bubblefish? Gaia, didn't you say it can provide fresh water? How do I do that?" Jenny looked at the other fish.
"Just hand it over to the 3D printing platform as well," Gaia replied. "As of now, the 3D printing platform is fully capable of meeting any daily needs of American citizens."
The next moment, the micro-nano robots appeared again, firing several beams of light.
The bubblefish's body quickly melted and transformed into a bag containing roughly 300 milliliters of water. The packaging holding the fresh water was made from the bubblefish's own skin.
"...."
[It turned into a bag of water just like that? Is this technology or magic?]
[Is American technology four hundred years from now really this ridiculously advanced.]
[Damn it, watching this makes me want to play so badly.]
The viewers in the livestream room erupted into wild exclamations once again!
The technology displayed in Subnautica was simply too advanced.
Take this 3D printing technology for example. Although the technology already exists today, it can currently only produce small objects with simple structures and single materials.
It definitely couldn't do something like this, cooking food and producing fresh water at the same time!
With something like this, wilderness survival would be as easy as playing house!
But soon, another viewers complained:
[It's just a game. If you take it too seriously, you lose!]
[Jenny, I'll gift you subs. Can you ask Gaia to explain the principle behind this 3D printing technology!]
[Yeah, let's make things difficult for our big sister Gaia, haha!]
After sending the message, that viewers actually gifted Jenny a Tier-3 Subscription.
"OK, I'll fulfill this your wish!"
Jenny naturally agreed right away. She first finished drinking the bag of water in front of her, then asked Gaia.
"Hey, Gaia, what's the principle behind this 3D printing technology you mentioned?"
"3D printing technology is a form of rapid prototyping. It is a technology that uses digital model files as a basis, disassembles matter at the atomic level, then recombines it through layer-by-layer printing to construct entirely new objects."
[Holy shit? Gaia actually explained it?]
[That's so impressive?]
[I don't understand it, but it sounds really advanced!!!]
[This can't actually be real, can it? Oh my god!]
The viewers in the livestream room were all shocked. The way Gaia explained it so clearly made it sound like a real existing technology!
Wait a minute. While developing this game, New World Studio didn't actually create this "3D printing technology" for real, did they?
They probably aren't that insane...
[Quick, Jenny, ask for more specific details about the principle and development methods.]
That viewer sent another message and gifted her another tier-3 subs.
Jenny immediately asked Gaia again.
However, this time Gaia replied:
"The technology involved here is a high-level core secret of United State of America. You do not yet have the authority to know the specific details."
Hearing this, the viewers immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
[Phew, that scared me. Good thing. Looks like New World Studio isn't that powerful yet.]
[Yeah, I was really letting my imagination run wild earlier. I actually thought about getting future high-tech from a game.]
[I had the same thought. Damn, I feel so fucking stupid right now!]
This wasn't their fault. Gaia's explanation was just too realistic, and the game's graphics were indeed too advanced, causing even the viewers to get completely immersed.
"Alright everyone, I'm going back into the water to play some more!"
After eating and drinking her fill, Jenny jumped back into the sea with a splash.
[First, I'll scan all the plants here to see if there's anything useful!]
Jenny swam back down to the limestone formation. The surface of the rock was covered with lots of seagrass and mushrooms. She scanned them one after another:
[Ding. Windwheel Grass. Inedible. No practical value.]
[Ding. Three-Insect Grass. Inedible. No practical value.]
[Ding. Hundred-Leaf Grass. Rich in various vitamins and dietary fiber. Edible.]
Even after finding an edible seagrass, Jenny didn't take any action. Her hunger bar was still full, so she decided to leave the plants alone for now.
Jenny then turned her attention to the clusters of strange, bowl-shaped purple mushrooms growing nearby.
[Ding. Acid Mushroom. Spore-type fungus containing strong acidic compounds. Assessment: Inedible, but can be used to manufacture batteries. Suggestion: Beautiful girl should collect plenty of them.]
"Batteries, huh? Tsk tsk, I'm entering the electrical age so quickly. Nice, nice." Although Jenny was terrible at science and engineering, she still understood what electricity meant.
She immediately looked around. There were plenty of acid mushrooms in this area.
The resources were abundant. She had nothing to worry about!
Continuing her search, Jenny soon found a metallic-looking rock on the surface of the formation.
[Ding. Titanium ore discovered. My suggestion here is that you first use the titanium ore to craft an oxygen tank. This will allow you to stay underwater for much longer.]
"Alright, I'll listen to you!" Jenny quickly took out her knife and began mining the titanium ore.
