……
After binding to the base island, the central master control unit of the base island can query the data information of all facility modules of the base island with the highest authority.
In fact, judging from the overall condition of the base island at present, it is still very bad, like a wrecked ship with incomplete construction and imperfect functions, which is formed by the patchwork of multiple parts, and is struggling to operate.
The root cause of this situation is mainly because this is a dismembered spaceship, which is extremely damaged, and its main core biological parts have been brewing for thousands of years, and after the evolution of the biological mechanism, it uses an island that has sunk into the ocean as a shell and recombines to form a base island.
And after the formation of the base island, he will immediately look for the owner to protect it, improve it, and let him begin to grow stronger, which is the same as the reason that a chick will find its mother as soon as it comes out of the eggshell, which is a kind of biological instinct derived from primary life.
As a result, the base island sent the model No. 1 machine qì people, that is, the uncle in the suit who wanted to evolve in the direction of human life, but ultimately failed, and was still the characteristics of the machine qì people, so that the machine qì people disguised themselves as human beings and constantly collected all kinds of information on the earth, so as to find Yu Xiaohu among hundreds of millions of humans as the host successor of the base island.
As for why Yu Xiaohu was found on the base island, and why Yu Xiaohu was tested and qualified, this question was not understood until Yu Xiaohu really became the owner of the base island now.
But now, after Tong Guò gradually has a preliminary understanding of the major components of the entire base island and the functions of those core systems, Yu Xiaohu is no longer able to find the answer.
Now Yu Xiaohu is full of thoughts about how he should repair the facility modules that are still in a damaged state after this base island is activated and opened by him, how to provide him with stable and sufficient energy points, how to let him work normally without interruption, and how to let him carry out an evolutionary upgrade.
According to Yu Xiaohu's understanding, since this base island is now a broken ship with missing functional parts, unhealthy operation, insufficient power, and even no reserved start-up capital, then if Yu Xiaohu wants this ship to sail, he must first provide him with power to make him run, and then let him work to make money to repair himself......
After thinking about such a process, Yu Xiaohu had a general idea.
So he asked the big-eyed beauty assistant to call up several core modules of the base island again, and said: "Then now I order, consume energy points to open the resource collection module, resource storage module, and energy conversion module, the three main modules into the working mode......"
Drip!
Five seconds after Yu Xiaohu issued the command, the central system immediately issued a prompt: "The command is confirmed, and the resource acquisition system, resource storage module, and energy conversion module are started......
"Startup complete, energy consumption 14.8 points, enter working mode ......"
On the light curtain, Yu Xiaohu saw that after the modules were started into the working mode, they all lit up, and their working status, as well as the energy consumption index, and the marks on the light curtain were very detailed.
After these modules started to work, Yu Xiaohu looked at the total energy and only 52 points left, and the index consumption will drop from time to time, and it is estimated that it will not last long.
So, Yu Xiaohu gave another order, saying: "Now start to enter the state of resource collection, all the collected resources are directly input into the resource storage module, and through the operation of the guò energy conversion module, they will be absorbed and converted into energy points......
After the order was issued, the central system did not prompt it at this time, and Yu Xiaohu could see the working situation of those modules through the light curtain in front of him.
Because there are no reserved storage resources in the resource storage module, this module and the energy conversion module are in a waiting state, and only the resource collection system is currently working.
The base island is very huge, because it is located on the bottom of the sea, and there are rich mineral resources and biological resources near the surrounding area, which are attached to the base island and are ready-made, so there is no need to start the resource detection system to consume energy, and it can save a little is a little.
At this time, Yu Xiaohu was very curious, and through the monitoring above the light curtain, he saw that there would be some biological tentacles slowly stretching out around the area of the collection module control on the base island.
The creature tentacles all have some very peculiar suction cups, which will use biological instincts to absorb various nearby resources on the suction cups, and then transport them back to the base island through the guò tentacles' pipes.
In the process, Yu Xiaohu found that those creatures did not let go of the fish swimming nearby, as long as those fish approached the sucker, they would be absorbed by the sucker at once, and they were collected as a resource along with other marine creatures.
After observing for about half an hour, Yu Xiaohu discovered an important problem.
It is the collection tentacles stretched out from the base island, which seem to be only aimed at those sea creatures, and occasionally there will be some mineral resources detected by the tentacles, and it is only easy to collect a part of the ready-made surface layer, and for those mineral resources that are difficult to collect under the hard rock layer, it will not take the initiative to collect.
At the same time, the extension range of these collection tentacles will not exceed 50 meters, and the creeping speed is slow, and the collection efficiency is not high.
Yu Xiaohu called up the resource storage unit again and checked, in this half an hour, only about fifty tons of biological resources and ten tons of mineral resources had accumulated in the resource storage module.
After the absorption and transformation of energy through guò, only 8 energy values are accumulated by transformation, and the extraction rate of energy is also very low.
In particular, some of those resources include chlorine, sodium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, calcium, bromine, carbon, strontium, boron and fluorine...... It also includes copper, iron, nickel, cobalt, coal, sulfur, phosphorus...... and other biological minerals and metal elements, and their absorption and utilization efficiency is also very low.
However, the energy consumption of several major system modules in the working state, including the consumption of the central control unit module, has a total consumption of 2.8 points in this half hour......
So calculated in this way, in this half-hour collection work, the base island can only extract 5.2 energy values, if Yu Xiaohu opens another system module, this energy supply will be a little tight.
And there is a more important situation, that is, once the resources near the base island are collected, they need to be collected farther away.
Obviously, the base island is currently unable to move at all, so the end result is that after no additional resources to replenish its energy, it can only continuously exhaust its energy in its own consumption, and then enter a dormant protection state, and it is not known how long it will be able to resume its work.
In this way, the resource collection and utilization rate is not high, but the base island itself consumes a large amount, it will fall into a vicious circle of drawbacks, and if you want to repair the damaged modules of the base island and put them all into work at the same time, you also need to accumulate a large number of energy points to upgrade the base island.
Therefore, after the formation of the base island, although its proton storage unit has advanced black technology, the supporting facilities of the base island and the lack of energy supply make it impossible to really give full play to the effectiveness of these black technologies.
However, the resources in the ocean are endless, and the efficiency is too low to rely on the collection mechanism of the base island itself, so Yu Xiaohu must provide him with a lot of labor to collect resources, so the first thing he thought of was the machine qì human module.
So, Yu Xiaohu inquired about the information of the manufacturing system of the machine, but found that the machine qì person module had zài limitations, so he asked the big-eyed beauty: "Why is the machine qì person module still limited to me?" ”
The big-eyed beauty replied: "Your Excellency, although you have the highest authority to query and call the machine qì human module, but the base island is currently in the initial stage, and its own mechanism cannot meet the activation requirements, so you can only query the relevant information, but you can't call to start this module, you must upgrade the base island to the first stage, and you can only start this function module with extremely high energy consumption!" ”
Well, this road was blocked, Yu Xiaohu could only roll his eyes and said, "Then calculate, what conditions are needed for the base island to be upgraded to the first stage?" ”
