C14 The Mobile Small Mining Base Has Been Successfully Built!!
Observing Duron's analyses on the forum, Ye Liangren couldn't help but be impressed.
"This guy really is talented!"
"Even in times like these, he remains calm and methodical in his analysis!"
"Sadly, it's the end of the world. No matter how accurate his analysis, most people will just sneer at it."
Ye Liangren shook his head in resignation.
Sure enough, the forum's activity surged. The voices condemning Duron didn't diminish; they grew louder.
"What good does all your talk do? You've got plenty of supplies; you won't starve. But what about us?"
"Exactly! You don't want us to head to the official shelters, then share your supplies with us!"
...
"I... I actually think the Instant Noodle Prince has a point..."
"A point? His analysis is a complete shambles. If he can spot a problem, don't you think the authorities have too? They must have solutions!"
"Absolutely! He's just trying to rile us up. What a hypocrite!"
"..."
After Duron posted an ellipsis, he went silent.
Ye Liangren couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle.
The authorities were certainly aware of the issues Duron pointed out.
But knowing is one thing; finding solutions is quite another!
The human heart is inherently complex, and that's under normal circumstances, let alone during the apocalypse.
And this apocalypse... it came too suddenly, too swiftly! The authorities exhausted all their efforts just building shelters, much less finding solutions to these problems!
"Still, Duron did give me something to think about."
"The more dire the times, the more unsettled people become."
"Empty promises are utterly worthless here. Showing them tangible security is what truly counts."
"Like, say, providing food directly."
...
Buzz—
Just then, Ye Liangren's phone vibrated.
A private message from Duron.
"I'm livid!"
"I'm absolutely livid!"
"These people are utterly brainless!"
The message began with a string of grievances, prompting a wry smile from Ye Liangren.
So now he's venting to me?
"Boss, you're not considering going to the official shelter, are you?"
Duron suddenly sent a message asking, "I naturally wouldn't do that, would I?"
Ye Liangren responded with a chuckle, "Exactly, it's good to see the big shot agrees with me!"
"Having the big shot by my side, I'm much more comfortable! Those with no brains can be dismissed! I'm relieved, I can breathe easy!"
"That's not necessarily true."
Ye Liangren replied with a sudden smile, then continued typing:
"Unless something unexpected happens, I plan to hire a new group of people to help me out."
"Keep an eye out for me. If you come across anyone trustworthy and solid, feel free to introduce them to me!"
Upon receiving this message, Duron went quiet for a solid two minutes before responding:
"Mind-blowing! All hail the big shot!"
"Big shot, you're actually looking to hire more people?"
"Don't worry, boss. I'll definitely keep a lookout for you!"
Ye Liangren logged off the forum with a smile, just as a system notification popped up. Ding! Transport Robot x2, Combat Robot x2, upgrade successful!
Transport Robot 2nd Generation (Unit 1)
Level: 3
Function: Capable of carrying 100 kg at once.
Speed: 120 kilometers per hour.
Power Consumption: Operates at full capacity for 48 hours, with automatic power linkage for charging. Charging time: 2 hours!
...
Combat Robot 2nd Generation (Unit 1)
Level: 3
Function: Attacks any hostile entity, providing full-spectrum protection for its creator, and can also protect a specific individual upon the creator's command.
Abilities: All combat skills improved by 60% from the first generation, with significantly enhanced defense. Impervious to damage from standard firearms.
Power Consumption: Operates at full capacity for 48 hours, with automatic power linkage for charging. Charging time: 2 hours!
...
Ye Liangren's eyes gleamed with delight.
The upgrades were complete!
And the transport robots, in particular, had seen significant improvements.
Both the carrying capacity and speed had doubled!
All things considered, a single second-generation transport robot was now as efficient as four of the first-generation models!
And to top it off, upgrading both robots had only used up one energy stone!
"Now that's what I call a major windfall!"
Ye Liangren sported a satisfied smile as he promptly instructed:
"Cargo Number One, continue transporting materials from the titanium alloy factory."
"Carry Number Two, head over to 377 Lake Pass Road and check for any mines there!"
At ten o'clock in the evening, Ye Liangren was in the midst of preparing dinner when a system notification suddenly chimed in. Ding! A mobile mini mining base and two transport robots have been successfully created!
Mobile Mini Mining Base
Level: 3
Function: Capable of autonomously traveling to designated mining sites, mines, and other mining bases to install foundational equipment, ensuring comprehensive stability and safety. It provides top-notch equipment to assist both humans and robots in mineral extraction.
Ability: Can remodel mining areas, with full AI capabilities to display real-time data for current mining sites, mines, and other bases. Benchmarked against the world's leading mining teams, it offers double the efficiency, mineral output, environmental protection, safety index, and is equipped with anti-shock and anti-collapse features. It can thoroughly detect any remaining unmined areas within mines!
Power Consumption: Employs an intelligent storage system utilizing solar, wind, and hydro energy, allowing for AI responsiveness in any environment without the need for recharging!
"Finally, it's been created!" Ye Liangren's lips curled into a smile.
Then, the system's voice echoed once more.
Ding! You have crafted a mobile mini mining base! Now, your search for metal resources is not confined to factories, which will significantly boost your search speed! In a post-apocalyptic world, abundant resources are the key to survival! Reward: +600 survival points.
Current survival points: 2300.
Ye Liangren paused his cooking, his face beaming with pride.
"Survival points have finally surpassed 2000 again!"
"Plus, I've completely mined out the resources from those three metal factories!"
"Now, it's time to keep accumulating survival points!"
Ye Liangren hurried over to the super study base, only to freeze in surprise.
The two second-generation transport robots were present, but the mobile mini mining base was nowhere to be seen!
At that moment, another system notification appeared.
Ding! Due to its large size, the mobile mini mining base has been automatically relocated outside the shelter!
Note: Large items, once created, will be automatically relocated outside the shelter if not needed!
Ye Liangren breathed a sigh of relief and quickly turned his attention to the surveillance feed. Outside the shelter, a colossal object had indeed materialized... It resembled a motorhome, a very large, top-of-the-line motorhome, standing imposingly in place.
Without hesitation, Ye Liangren issued a command. "Mobile mini mining base, head to 377 Lake Pass Road for mining area redevelopment!"
