Chapter Seventy-Three: Strengthening the Tower

But before strengthening the watchtowers.

Chen Ye still has one more thing to do.

He turned to look at Li Ranran and asked, "Can you fuse these three safe houses together?" ”

When he asked the two girls to place the safe house yesterday, he actually had this idea.

It's just that after Li Ranran fused the entire Tai Sui Mother Body into basalt, her physical strength was already exhausted, and she couldn't continue to use her innate ability at all, so it has been delayed until now.

"It should work!"

Li Ranran nodded in response.

After breaking through the limit and fusing with Tai Sui's mother body yesterday, she is now more comfortable using her talent.

There is nothing difficult about a few houses.

She walked over to the wall and stretched out her hands to activate her abilities.

A stream of black energy appeared on the basalt walls and gradually enveloped the three buildings.

The junction between the watchtower wall and the slate house is rapidly staggered together under the action of energy flow.

It takes a certain amount of time to integrate, so Chen Ye is not idle.

He quickly equipped himself with a power armor that could fly continuously in the air, and flew at full speed to the edge of the forest along the coastline.

It was full of Cloud Iron Tree logs that had been collected long ago.

He had planned to bring these resources back on the way back.

It's just that I didn't expect that after obtaining the mountain and sea chart disk, the survival team directly teleported back to the island.

Later, the watchtowers will be strengthened, and you can use these logs to deduct some survival points.

After the towers are strengthened, the number of rooms will increase.

At that time, a new batch of furniture will also need to be added, and the Yuntie tree logs as raw materials will definitely be indispensable.

After Chen Ye arrived in the forest area, he did not engage the centipede stinging insects.

Because even if these bugs are killed, the excitatory pheromones in their bodies will volatilize into the air.

The power armor does not have an internal circulation system, and if you accidentally inhale a mouthful of toxic gas, you will completely fall into a violent state.

In case the regenerative power doesn't work, and there is no cure, then he can only wait for death.

On the other hand, there are already a number of centipede insects, which are surrounding the island.

The situation was so urgent, Chen Ye didn't want to waste his time in this place.

He piloted the bronze power armor and swept directly above the insect tide.

The spatial ring emits a beam of light that scans the stacked piles of Cloud Iron Tree logs, and finally collects them all into the inner space.

Hundreds of logs that are more than 10 meters long and about 2 meters in diameter only occupy 4% of the space in the space ring.

You can imagine how amazing the capacity inside is.

It can only be said that it is worthy of alien black technology!

After taking away the Yun Tie Tree logs, Chen Ye flew to the scorched earth area not far away.

After collecting some charcoal, he drove back to the island with his power armor.

By this time, the three safe houses had merged into a single unit.

It's just that the appearance doesn't look very beautiful, and the walls connecting the slate house and the watchtower are crooked.

"I can control how things look when they are fused, but it's very difficult to practice......"

Li Ranran coughed subconsciously, wanting to alleviate the embarrassing situation.

Fusing objects is not simply kneading plasticine, the actual process is very complex.

And she is just a newbie now, and her deeper talent has yet to be explored.

Hearing this, Chen Ye chuckled: "You've done a good job, leave the rest to me!" ”

He lifted his power armor and walked to the front of the tower.

A prompt immediately appears in front of you:

[Consumes 250 Survival Points to strengthen Towers (Lv.2)]

[You can consume 50 units of logs to deduct 5 survival points]

Theoretically, after fusing the two safe houses, the survival points required for reinforcement should also increase.

But unexpectedly, the point consumption has not changed, it is still 250 points.

Could it be that talent itself is a mechanic?

Although Chen Ye was very curious, he did not continue to delve into it.

His mind moved slightly, and he gave a reinforcement command.

The surface of the watchtower is covered with a layer of illusory light and shadow, so that the entire building becomes indistinct.

It can only be vaguely seen that it is gradually rising, and the area is constantly expanding.

The stone houses on both sides have also been reduced to two floors, and there is an extra ring of wall stacks on the roof.

The reinforcement was quickly completed.

In the astonished eyes of the onlookers, the small watchtower, which was originally only two floors, became a large three-story blockhouse.

【Reinforcement Success】

【Diaolou (LV.2) Quality Improvement】

[Congratulations on unlocking the new building: Bunker (LV.2)]

[Total floor area: 420 square meters (expandable)]

[Floor height: 3.4 meters (expandable)]

[Function - Perseverance: You can consume 200 survival points, turn on the persistence mode, during which the damage caused by physical attacks to buildings is reduced by 80%, the mode can last for 6 hours, and can only be activated once per natural day]

Chen Ye was a little surprised that the total area of the building had more than tripled.

According to the previous situation, the enhancement will more than double the floor area.

The original 2-level watchtower was 120 square meters.

Then the area after strengthening should be about 240 to 300 square meters.

It shows that the two stone slab houses that are integrated into it have increased the area by about 100 square meters.

It was a bonus.

And what surprised Chen Ye the most was that the bunker actually had a function, and the effect looked very good.

You only need to spend 200 survival points to reduce the damage of the bunker by 80% in six hours.

80%, what a concept!

In the event of an irresistible natural disaster or danger, the [Perseverance] mode can save the lives of the team to a great extent, and may even turn the situation around.

By this time, the centipede and the snake-tailed Rafflesia had arrived near the island.

Now it is crawling along the petrified Tai Sui mother tentacles towards the island.

Chen Ye retracted his gaze and hurriedly shouted to his teammates beside him: "The watchtower has been strengthened, everyone hurry up and go in!" ”

Lin Zimo and the others didn't ink, quickly removed the power armor, loaded it into the storage space, and then set off into the brand-new bunker.

After strengthening, the outer walls of the bunker have reached a thickness of 1.25 meters, bringing visible firmness and safety to the naked eye.

The gate has become two inside and outside, soundproof, insulated, and anti-theft.

As the material of the door panel, the cloud iron wood has been double-thickened on the basis of increasing the hardness of the surface layer of the wood.

The strength of wood, which is already extremely hard, is comparable to that of aluminum alloy at the moment.

With the two gates inside and outside, it is equivalent to having four layers of protection at once.

After previous experiments, the talent [Infinite Enhancement] resets the item's durability.

Even the bunkers are no exception.

Therefore, the floors that were destroyed during the battle against the Cloud Beasts in the extremely cold weather have been repaired.

The walls that were shattered by Tai Sui's mother have also been restored.

And the two walls that collapsed have been perfectly integrated with the slate house.

Of course, after the slate house was strengthened, it was directly transformed into two auxiliary towers of the pillbox.

It is now possible to climb the tower's rooftop lookout, or use the compound crossbow to defend against foreign enemies through the shooting holes in the tower's walls.

The shooting hole is about one meter long and ten centimeters high.

Even a small, hundred-legged stinger would not be able to pass through such a narrow place.

In addition, the shooting hole has a trapezoidal structure with a wide outer width and a narrow inner limit.

Standing inside and looking out, the view is very open.

But when viewed from the outside, it is difficult to see inside the tower.

After entering the bunker, everyone was not idle.

Under Chen Ye's command, everyone began to inspect the doors and windows on each floor.

lest you not close it properly, and let in the centipede.

After confirming that the doors and windows were locked, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The table that had been placed in the living room had been damaged.

Strengthening the watchtower does not repair the furniture inside, so it has to be remade.

Chen Ye had enough log pipes in his hand, so when he checked the doors and windows, he made up all the missing furniture.

Now the room is full of solid wood furniture, and the grade is more than one level higher.

The people returned to the living room and sat down around the long table to rest.

Compared to the previous battle, today was a lot easier.
