Chapter 888: Base Camp Upgrade

"Quick, drag the shark away, don't delay the next one."

Zhang Tuohai directed many refugees to carry away the charred shark.

The shark had just been dragged away, and another blue-flag tuna washed ashore. Zhang Tuohai took a half step back, and his long sharp mouth stopped only ten centimeters away from Zhang Tuohai. Then, the whole tuna lost power. , fell heavily, and was then cooked by the flame stone carving.

"Quick, quick, pull away, don't delay the next one."

Zhang Tuohai greeted him.

The animals in the sea rushed towards Zhang Tuohai one by one, but none of them could touch Zhang Tuohai's body, and they were eventually burned into whole fish by the flaming stone carvings on both sides.

Zhang Tuohai himself has been standing in the same place, without moving half a point.

He is the bait for these animals. As long as he doesn't move around casually, the animals in the sea will always land from here to catch him.

This is the doorway that he spent more than a dozen simulations trying to figure out.

However, this trick is only useful for the first night. After tonight, the intelligence of those beasts will be greatly improved, and this simple trick will not be effective.

This death-defying act continued until midnight, when a giant clam clam was roasted into a grilled scallop.

Just when the refugees were about to drag the clam shells away according to their previous habits, Zhang Tuohai suddenly stopped them: "Don't worry about this, you knock it open, there is a pearl in it, help me find it."

When the refugees heard this, they immediately took out various tools and started to pry the shell of the clam shell.

This clam shell is 2.8 meters in diameter, taller than a person. If it was alive, these refugees would not be able to knock it open. However, since it has been burned to death, it is much easier. Ten refugees took ten minutes Time finally knocked open the outer shell, revealing the contents inside.

The meat in the clam shell has been roasted, exuding bursts of meaty aroma, and inside the meat, there is a pearl about the size of a basketball. .

[God of War head statue: strange object, placed in the camp, all staff attack power +3, morale +3. 】

"The little best in the early days."

Zhang Tuohai weighed the statue in his hand, brought it back to the cabin, and placed it in the corner of the wall.

An invisible halo swept across the entire camp, and the attacks of all the characters and weapons increased a little, and the fighting spirit of the ten refugees also increased a lot.

"The effect is not bad."

Watching the gradual cessation of the attack, Zhang Tuohai checked the stored stones, and it was already enough to upgrade the base camp.

The reason why Zhang Tuohai didn't upgrade immediately was to wait for this wave of beasts to pass.

If you upgrade before the beast tide starts, the beasts in the beast tide will also increase the level at the same time. However, due to the number of days, the item rewards will not increase. In order to avoid unnecessary consumption, Zhang Tuohai delayed a wave of rhythm, and now The beast tide has passed, and it is time to upgrade.

Zhang Tuohai just took advantage of his spare time to let the refugees complete the construction of the buildings needed for the upgrade. Now everything is ready, and he only owes Dongfeng.

"upgrade."

Zhang Tuohai pressed the upgrade button.

A white light enveloped the cabin, and a progress bar appeared in front of Zhang Tuohai. This time, the waiting time was 3 minutes.

Let the refugees go to rest, Zhang Tuohai sat on the grass next to him and waited quietly.

After three minutes, the holiday cabin was transformed into a two-story stone house, and it looked more solid.

[The base camp has been upgraded to LV3, unlocking the steel technology, which can manufacture buildings: blast furnaces, steam engines, rails, steam locomotives, huge statues... Materials needed to upgrade the next level: refined steel: 500 units, coal: 500 units, ordinary buildings: 8, special buildings: 1. 】

Zhang Tuohai glanced at the construction list, and there was still no such thing as automatic mining machines. The equipment used by miners still remained on hand tools such as mining picks and mining hammers, and they could only rely on humans for mining.

Zhang Tuohai knows that this is a method used by the game to slow down the development process - the output of card resources. If you want to collect resources quickly, you need to use a lot of manpower to dig, but this means that you have to spend more people to ensure food supplies.

However, once you spend your manpower on these two aspects, your defense against the beast tide will become very weak, and the base camp will be in danger of being overrun by the beast tide at any time.

Players have to balance three aspects.

Zhang Tuohai was also troubled by this for a long time, and finally decided to bring mining machines and logging machines that spanned the times.

These machines greatly relieved his population pressure and food pressure, allowing him to instantly upgrade to three levels in one day, which greatly improved his progress.

Let him experience the feeling of a krypton gold boss.

Of course, these mining machines and shredders, and even the automatic Gatling gun, are far from the last item.

Zhang Tuohai walked out of the stone building on the second floor and waited quietly by the beach.

At this time, it was the high tide period, and the sea water kept pouring onto the beach, and a material box slowly stopped on the beach following the tide.

This material box was very heavy, so Zhang Tuohai built two more refugee camps for this purpose, and created 20 refugees. Everyone worked together to move the heavy material box back to the stone house.

There is a thick airbag on the outside of the material box, which uses the latest protective materials, so that it can float in the sea for a long time and still be safe. Otherwise, it would have been bitten by a shark in the sea and dragged into the deep sea.

After checking around to confirm that the airbag was intact, he pressed the decompression code. With a sharp exhaust sound, the floating airbag outside the material box shriveled, slowly revealing the original appearance of the material box.

"It's been a long time since I opened the box, I really miss it." Zhang Tuohai touched the outer shell of the material box with a look of nostalgia on his face.

Zhang Tuohai picked up a crowbar and knocked open the outer shell of the material box, revealing a strange-shaped piece of machinery.

This machine is composed of ten multi-arms and a control screen. This is the rune inscription machine that Zhang Tuohai asked Lilith to help with.

After dozens of deductions, Zhang Tuohai gradually discovered a problem, that is, no matter how fast he develops, relying solely on pure technology cannot resist the growing beast tide, even if he can barely support it. It will be taken away by the elite Cthulhu Legion in one wave. It is not pure technology, but the time is too short, and the technology cannot develop to the level of crushing the Cthulhu Legion.

Therefore, it needs the assistance of some other technologies. This rune inscription machine is the key to his breakthrough.

This is also the reason why Zhang Tuohai did not bring the quantum black umbrella, but also brought this machine with him.
