Chapter 1201 Water Generator, Survive with Effort!

I don’t know if the new point on the map is Lao Dao or Male Gunner.

There is a full 775 kilometers between the two people’s current position.

“Going north, it may be too difficult!”

Qi Jie hesitated.

It is basically impossible to meet up by foot at this distance.

Unless you get a desert all-terrain vehicle now, it is better to meet up at the next terrain.

“Forget it, this distance is too long.”

“Anyway, there is no life-threatening situation in the race. If they can’t take care of themselves, they can just quit. We have to find a way to get out of the desert first.” Su Mo shook his head and gave up the idea of ​​getting the four people together first.

It seems that the game does consider the problem of putting everyone together.

If all humans gather now, Su Mo believes that it is not impossible for him to wipe out the merchant with a wave of his arm.

But everyone is scattered, and it is difficult to concentrate on doing big things.

But then again, being scattered is both a bad thing and a good thing.

At least there will be less competition on the way to find an oasis or water source.

At the same time

This friend-finding ticket was also helpful.

As the map was enlarged, a rough outline of the desert appeared on the manual.

The terrain was similar to a rectangle. The two people were currently located at the lower left of the rectangle, and the other light spot was at the upper left of the rectangle.

Looking to the far right, there were two triangles slightly raised above and below.

Blindly guessing, it should be the exit of the desert terrain.

"Lord, which direction should we go?"

"The one at the lower right, the distance is short." Su Mo took a rough look and made a decision immediately.

Between two points, the straight line is the shortest.

Based on the distance from the light spot above, it can be roughly inferred that the current location should be about 600 kilometers away from the exit at the lower right.

Generally speaking, an experienced hiker can walk 40 to 50 kilometers a day in the desert.

Even with the route bonus physical fitness, the human players who come in are like "supermen".

Considering that the current supplies are very scarce, it is optimistically estimated that it will take at least ten days to get out.

And the large-scale natural disaster will come on the ninth day.

This requires the survivors to get out within nine days if they don't want to challenge the natural disaster.

One day. At least 60 kilometers!

"The task is heavy and the time is tight. Let's set off while we are still strong!"

Su Mo picked up two bottles of water, and Qi Jie took the initiative to pick up the small tent on the ground and carried it on his shoulders.

The weight is very light, only about two kilograms, which basically does not affect the desert hiking.

Because sharing information is also considered a kind of help, the three people behind saw this and tacitly did not ask more questions.

After each of them replenished a bottle of water from the merchant, they silently lowered their heads and set off.

The magnificent desert.

The endless golden sand dunes are like waves, stretching to the sky.

Reflecting the blazing sun, it seems to burn the whole world.

Whether it is human or alien, walking in this desert is like trying to find a grain of sand in the ocean.

No matter what efforts are made, they cannot change the vastness of this desert and their own insignificance.

The players hanging in the sky watching the game looked again and again, and were a little speechless for a while.

When they first entered the spectator's room, they were expecting to see the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

But now, the more they watch, the more boring it is.

Not to mention other human players, even Su Shen is moving forward slowly step by step, and there is nothing to learn at all.

As for the aliens.

Because the intensity of the elimination round is too great, none of the aliens with the ability to fly can enter the main competition. Basically, it is the all-round humanoid aliens who get the quota.

Compared with humans, these humanoid aliens are also having a hard time.

Facing the scorching hot desert, they can only move forward slowly step by step.

It must be said that compared with the previous exciting duels, the current competition should be the fairest one.

But absolute fairness also means a lack of fun and excitement that makes people applaud.

"It's hard to survive in this horrible terrain, let alone get out. Fortunately, there is no desert in the wasteland."

"Now, it depends on who can find water and oasis first!"

Considering that even the human Su Shen's situation is not optimistic, no one can shout the slogan "I can do it too."

More than 90% of the audience chose to quit after watching for a while, intending to prepare for the next migration and spring plowing while the weather cleared up.

For a while, the whole world was quiet, with only the wind and sand sweeping past.

[Record]: Daily task "Walking in the Hot Sun" has been completed.

Walking from early morning to noon.

And from noon to evening.

With the game prompt sound in his ears, Su Mo suddenly raised his head.

The horizon was already a little dark.

The temperature in the hot desert gradually dropped, and it was no longer so scorching.

Looking back, except for Qi Jie who could still grit his teeth and hold on, the other three saw him stop, and they all sat down on the ground tiredly, sticking out their tongues like dogs to cool down.

Too tired!

No, I've never been so tired before.

Trekking in the desert is physically demanding, and we have to march forward in the scorching heat.

If we hadn't been well fed and well-drinking before we set out, we would have probably fallen to the ground by now.

But think about it.

Next, we have to trek more than 60 kilometers every day, which is a hellish challenge!

"That's it for today. Find a place with leeward wind and rest."

Sumo coughed lightly, and his voice was obviously hoarse when he spoke.

The human body has the ability to adapt to the environment and can change as the surrounding environment changes.

When I first set out in the morning, I felt extremely uncomfortable, but after that I felt much more comfortable.

However, this change has limits.

Squeezing beyond the limit will cause backlash and cause various problems.

"I'll go find it."

Qi Jie stood up from the ground, his legs went weak, and he sat down again before he could stand firmly.

Seeing him like this, Sumo could only shake his head and said solemnly.

"Forget it, just sit down and take a rest."

After getting familiar with it.

Xi Ruyue chose the rare route 'Reader' and was not good at this type of survival adventure.

Although Maomao and Ajun are both "wandering fighters" on the rare route, they prefer the route of wild survival that emphasizes physical strength and strength. It sounds like it is very suitable for the theme of this competition.

But the actual performance is far inferior to Qi Jie who takes the ordinary scavenger route.

It is true that the abilities and attribute points brought by the route can certainly transform an ordinary person. The further he goes, the stronger he becomes, and the distance between him and ordinary people becomes wider and wider.

But in the early stage, this bonus still cannot make up for everything.

Letting several people lie on the sand like a "big" character, Somo gathered his energy and walked around to look around.

If it were on Earth, the temperature of the desert would change in an obvious curve over time.

It is lower in the morning and evening, rises at noon, and drops again at night.

For example, in the famous Sahara Desert, the temperature will drop by an average of about 40 degrees overnight, causing the average temperature during the day to reach 45 degrees, but at night it will plummet to below zero!

However, the operating rules of this 'Earth Fire Desert' are obviously different from those on Earth.

Even though the last trace of the setting sun on the horizon has completely disappeared, only the cold moonlight is left shining around.

The temperature on the surface is still hot, at least around 25 degrees.

There is a reduction, but not much.

Standing on the top of the dune, Soma stretched out his hand and felt the heat waves slowly flowing in the air.

"I don't know how long this temperature will last, but for now it's good news."

If the temperatures are extreme on the first day, the contestants will be out of luck.

Those who buy a windproof tent can still resist it, but those who don’t have a tent can only hope for the best.

Slowly sitting down, he let out a breath of heat.

He took out the water bottle in his arms and unscrewed it. There was only about fifty milliliters left in it.

After taking a sip, the burning sensation in my throat was still obvious.

And as time goes by, you can even feel a burning sensation in your lungs when breathing.

"No matter what, we have to find a way to solve the drinking water problem first."

Licking his chapped lips, Somo glanced at the four people lying not far away, and then looked up at the vast night sky.

The stars are dotted and very bright.

The night sky in the desert is deep and mysterious, showing endless black, as if you can reach out and touch it.

But behind the blackness, there were countless pairs of eyes looking over at this moment.

To prevent system exposure.

After resting for a while, Somo managed to stand up again and returned to the bottom of the dune.

"Get up and hold on for a while longer. We'll rest there tonight."

Point to the lee of a low spot on the other side of the dune.

The four people on the ground also recovered a little strength at this time, and they nodded and stood up.

Ten minutes later, we reached the leeward depression.

"Wow, today is finally over, I'm exhausted!"

"To be honest, I feel like I will die suddenly if I continue walking."

As soon as Maomao and Ajun sat down, they took off their shoes with sad faces and looked at the blisters on their feet with worry.

In terms of leg strength, the survivors who have survived to this day are not so delicate.

But this fire desert is really torture, stepping on it is like stepping on a fire.

At the end of the day, it’s 60 kilometers.

Fortunately, the route bonus allows me to recover quickly, otherwise it would be a problem to walk tomorrow.

"Do you still have water? I'm almost out of water here!"

Xi Ruyue whispered, holding the mineral water bottle in her hand, only half of it was left.

The three of them had bought two bottles each before, and they only had this after a long day of walking.

If you can't find a businessman tomorrow, you will face the risk of having money to spend and being eliminated.

"No more, no more, we have a little left."

Maomao, Arjun took out the bottle. The water in it was a little less, only about one-third.

The three of them paused and turned to look at Somo in tacit understanding.

But they saw that the two of them were already busy building a windproof tent, which was almost ready to take shape.

"Lord, we have no water either."

Qi Jie tugged on the wind ropes on both sides and said in a low voice.

The two of them drank one bottle together before, and Sumo bought two more bottles when they were on their way.

Now after a long day's journey, we are basically out of ammunition and food, and we are also facing the risk of water shortage.

If he hadn't seen Su Mo showing any panic from beginning to end, Qi Jie asked himself, he would never have been as calm as he was now.

"It's okay. Give me all three bottles and I'll make a simple water-fetching device."

The probe went in and looked at the space inside, making sure that it was blocked by a layer of sky and could not be directly seen.

Sumo turned his head, a reassuring smile appearing on his face.

"Water fetching device?" Qi Jie was in a daze.

It was indeed very common to make water extraction devices with simple materials in the early days of the wasteland. Most of the survivors who survived basically knew how to do this.

It was nothing more than using the principle of condensation due to the temperature difference between day and night to gather moisture in the air.

But now in this earth fire desert, there is no sign of cooling down.

If there is no temperature difference between day and night

"Don't worry, keep an eye on the surroundings. Don't let them disturb me when I'm making it."

Patting Qi Jie on the shoulder, Su Mo was too lazy to explain and got into the small tent.

It's said to be a single person, but there's really no extra space.

Fortunately, the vertical height is still good, and it's not a problem to move around in a small area after sitting down.

Pulling up the zipper of the tent, Su Mo no longer hesitated and looked at the empty bottle in his hand.

A green light flashed, and a familiar attribute panel appeared.

[Empty bottle (500ml)]

[Description]: An empty bottle of drinking water that has been drunk, made of polyethylene (PE).

The panel is ordinary, even if it is made by a businessman, it has no special attributes.

But the next second, everything became different after the upgrade panel popped up.

[Empty bottle (500ml)]

[Upgrade route 1]: Field simple condensation water extractor (by modifying the bottle body to form a simple water extraction device, using the temperature difference between day and night to extract water)

Water extraction efficiency: 200ml/night (fixed effect; not affected by the environment)

Upgrade consumable item survival points: 10

[Upgrade route 2]: Field simple water collector (using water absorbent to absorb free water vapor and form water droplets, collect and gather water droplets)

Water extraction efficiency: 500ml/day (fixed effect; not affected by the environment)

Upgrade consumable item survival points: 20

[Upgrade route 3]: Solar atmospheric water distiller (convert light energy into water Converted into heat energy, the heat energy drives the water in the device to evaporate and condense on the condenser to form fresh water)

Water extraction efficiency: 300ml/hour (sufficient sunlight is required; fixed placement is required)

Upgrade consumable item survival points: 120

[Upgrade route 4]: 'Adventurer' water generator (technology from the academy, using special powder for atmospheric replacement reaction, can generate a large amount of fresh water in a short time)

Water extraction efficiency: 500ml/time (special powder*1 required for each use)

Upgrade consumable item survival points: 200

Special powder price: 5 (special survival points)

[Evaluation]: Desert water extraction, rich and frugal!

"Well, after the system is upgraded to version v1.1, there are really many routes that can be upgraded."

Suma nodded with satisfaction, and his mind was quickly calculating and comparing.

If it is a condensation water extractor made by conventional means, it will of course be affected by the special terrain of the Earth Fire Desert.

But the water extractor upgraded by the system is much more domineering, fixed and effective and not affected by temperature differences.

Of course, the powerful effect also corresponds to an increase in price.

Compared to when I first came to the wasteland, it only cost 75 points to upgrade the well.

If calculated according to the survival points of the previous version, this device is equivalent to 100 points!

As for the lower ones, they are getting more and more expensive.

Especially the 'Adventurer' water generator actually requires a full 200 points, and each time you use it, you need to buy extra special powder.

However

"Is this technology from the academy?"

Su Mo nodded slightly.

After more than half a year of accumulation, now the system account column can see that the item survival points have reached 5430, and the special survival points have also reached 3205 points.

It's just a water generator, 200 points, buy it!

Now is no longer the particularly tense time in the early days of the wasteland, between waiting for water to drink and drinking it refreshingly.

Is it a big problem to be extravagant occasionally?

"Three empty bottles."

"Just enough to upgrade items one, two, and four!"
