Chapter 18: VR Saves the World (Part II)

When Liu Jianming walked into the production workshop of the base, he saw a new world.

This place, which Tie Dan calls the "production frame", was originally an empty room with almost nothing, except for a large 3D printer in the corner, the rest of the place can only be described as a house with four walls. However, when Liu Jianming walked into this room again, there were a lot of things in the room at once.

Of course, this workshop is actually still so empty, but Liu Jianming's vision has a lot more. Liu Jianming was pleasantly surprised to find that the reason why he hadn't found any consoles in this room before was because all consoles were displayed in Liu Jianming's eyes in the form of virtual windows. For example, the doors that lead to other places, Liu Jianming had no way to find traces of these doors from the wall before, but now these doors are all highlighted by wireframes, and there are virtual buttons in front of the doors for opening and closing doors. However, although most of the doors can be displayed, there is still no way to open the virtual button in front of the door with a forbidden symbol.

Inside the workshop, there are many more such virtual windows all of a sudden. Liu Jianming tried to open a box and found a menu in front of him, and to his surprise, it was actually a construction option box. There are a lot of building options in the box, such as large scanners, assembly robots, item disintegrators, and other mechanical devices, but although the menu can be opened, the build button at the bottom is gray and cannot be clicked. Liu Jianming glanced around again and found that such bright frames were not only on the floor, but also on the walls and even on the ceiling.

Even the only machine present, the 3D printer, was not the same as before. Originally, there was only a small screen on the machine, and the only purpose of the small screen was to show whether the machine was working or not. And now, when Liu Jianming looked at the printer again, a series of detailed windows appeared in front of Liu Jianming's eyes. The production progress, blueprint style, finished product concept map, including the heating status of the machine, and even a large number of parameters that Liu Jianming completely does not understand are displayed in this series of windows, and Liu Jianming can now manually control the production sequence and predetermined sequence of this machine. However, because there is no blueprint, Liu Jianming has no choice to produce anything other than handling robots.

Liu Jianming changed from a surprise at the beginning to a little disappointed, although the nanobots after installing the operating system can allow Liu Jianming to see many things that he would not otherwise see, but due to lack of permissions and some other reasons, these virtual windows did not bring more convenience to Liu Jianming

Liu Jianming looked around boredly, and he noticed that some graffiti-like things suddenly appeared on a wall at some point. Liu Jianming felt very strange and walked forward to find that the "graffiti" was actually a strange thing put together by a bunch of symbols of unknown meaning. Liu Jianming touched it with his hand and found that those symbols were actually displayed above his hand, only to find that these symbols appeared in his field of vision. Liu Jianming took a few steps back, allowing the pile of symbols to appear in his field of vision completely, but suddenly, the symbols dissipated inexplicably.

"Did you just do something?" At this time, the iron ball, which had been busy somewhere, suddenly flew in front of Liu Jianming's eyes, "Just now, the main control computer suddenly prompted me that my authority has been upgraded to level 4." According to the permission hook, it should be your permission upgrade, which also drove my permission upgrade. ”

"I don't know." Liu Jianming shook his head and answered truthfully. "I remember seeing a strange symbol and you told me about it, but after I looked at it, the symbol disappeared." He suddenly thought of something, "Could it be that the symbol is the QR code of the current era?" ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I suggest you try to operate the surrounding parts again, maybe due to the upgrade of permissions, you have some control over this base." After saying that, the iron egg flew to the side and didn't know what to do.

Liu Jianming tried to open the construction box on the ground again, and found that there were a few things that could be built, so he selected a medium-sized 3D scanner in the menu and clicked OK. However, after clicking on it, he didn't notice the effect of the buildings in the arena that he had imagined from a real-time strategy game to appear out of thin air. A few minutes later, the door of the warehouse where the printed raw materials were placed opened, and several transport robots ran out of the hatch, carrying a large pile of printing materials, ran to the printer, threw the materials into the printing with a mechanical arm, and then waited on the sidelines.

It didn't take long for the printer to spit out something from the gate, which Liu Jianming didn't recognize, and what appeared to be part of some kind of mechanism. A transport robot transported the produced things to the construction area demarcated by Liu Jianming at the beginning, and used the mechanical arm to install the items after putting down the items, Liu Jianming didn't see how the items were placed, but after the items were secured, Liu Jianming tried to move the items and found that the items had been fixed on the floor. The rest of the scanner was also made from the print and mounted like building blocks by the transport robot, and it didn't take long for the scanner to be built.

This machine continues the designer's usual minimalist thinking, it is completely a boxy tin box, but it is not as big as the previous 3D printer, only the size of two ordinary household wardrobes stacked on top of each other. After the scanner is assembled, Liu Jianming's field of vision also appears in the scanner's operation window, after clicking the "pop" button, the scanner opens a window from the side, and a metal plate similar to the visualizer pops up like a disc drive.

"Once you put the object you want to scan on it and close the hatch, you're ready to scan." Iron Egg came to the side of the scanner at some point and explained, "You can try any thing on your body." ”

Liu Jianming touched his pocket, put the key to his house on the metal plate, and chose to close it in the operation panel, and the metal plate retracted and closed the hatch. Almost exactly a second later, the metal plate pops up again, and a text prompt "Scan Complete" pops up on the control panel.

"The most valuable thing about this scanner is that as long as it is within the scanner's scanning accuracy limits, it can be printed after it has been scanned. For example, you can now take a look at the production interface of that 3D printer. Tie Dan said this, and flew to the printer first.

Liu Jianming also came to the side of the printer, when the operation interface of the printer was opened, it was found that the blueprint could be used to remove the initial handling robot, and there was one more "item unnamed", Liu Jianming chose to print this unnamed, and then the operation box showed that the residual materials in the printer were used for printing, a few seconds later, the huge gate opened, and a small thing was thrown out and smashed on the floor, Liu Jianming picked it up and took a look, the official key of his own house, compared with the Venus in his hand, it can be said that it is exactly the same.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Liu Jianming was very excited when he saw the key printed out in his hand. "Now that I lost the key, I am no longer afraid of being scolded by my parents!"

"Would you please have some work, Mr. Administrator?" Iron Ball watched all this from the sidelines, and couldn't help but spit out.

"Anyway, it's too dull here, so let's calm the atmosphere." Liu Jianming couldn't help touching the back of his head and smirked at Tie Dan.

"This kind of thing can be put aside for now." The iron egg dangled in front of Liu Jianming's eyes, "I came here this time to tell you that I found some things, which you may be able to use right now compared to most of the machines in the base that are still difficult for you to use." ”

With that, the iron egg flew in one direction, and a door opened through the wall.
