Chapter 4 Suicheng

Shu Fu hung up the phone and looked at the black mini notebook in her hand again. It was covered in pure black plastic and was only one-third the size of a normal notebook. It looked thin and ordinary.

But obviously, this is no ordinary notebook.

First of all, she couldn't write on it; no ink from any pen could remain.

Secondly, it gives the method, or task, to upgrade the raft to level 2.

But why is the mission to go to work? Even in the end of the world, why can't we escape the fate of being a social animal?

If she clocks in at the company on time tomorrow, she will get 5% upgrade progress. It sounds a little unreal, but since her own existence is not real, she quickly accepted it.

Shu Fu put away her mini notebook and started her previous work, loading all the furniture in the living room into her bracelet backpack one by one. When only the background wall with the TV was left in the living room, she tried to rotate the cap of the drift bottle again.

She was a little worried that the bottle would show that there was no water area detected and it could not be placed, but it was obvious that the boat in the water could also be placed on land.

A small raft appeared in her living room. It was not as big as she had thought. It was about four meters long and two meters wide.

The raft is a neat rectangle with a flat surface paved with log-colored wooden boards. In the middle is a very small flat-roofed wooden house, two meters high and an estimated area of ​​only four or five square meters, far smaller than the 10 square meters shown in the information.

There is a small deck space in front and behind the raft. The left and right sides are too narrow for people to pass through, but there is a door in front and behind the wooden house, which can be used to go through the wooden house to the deck behind the raft.

There is a small window on each side of the wooden house, with a wooden frame and frosted glass, so it is impossible to see clearly what is inside from the outside.

There were no sails or oars on the deck of the raft, nor any power machinery. Compared to the boat, the deck was too flat and looked more like a floating wooden platform used for fishing.

No wonder the driving mode is "go with the flow", does this mean pure drifting?

Shu Fu walked onto the raft and found a very strange pattern, or symbol, painted on the door panel of the front door of the wooden house. It did not look like any of the words she knew. Overall, it looked a bit like a crescent-shaped "moon" character.

Moon? What do you mean, does this house have a name?

She opened the wooden door, and when she entered the wooden house, she felt an invisible light scanning her. She saw that the interior of the wooden house, which had been dimly lit, suddenly lit up. This brightness was like something being activated for the first time.

She looked at the empty house in front of her and felt suddenly enlightened. The inside of the wooden house was much larger than it looked from the outside. It was a square room with small partitions. The area was indeed ten square meters and the floor height was more than two meters. It was actually a compressed space!

**

There was no light inside the wooden house. The light source at this moment came from her living room. The two glass windows of the wooden house were normal transparent glass when looking from the inside out. The light from outside came in clearly, and the size of the windows was twice as large as it looked from the outside.

There is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the cabin. It is very cool inside, with the temperature between 23 and 26 degrees. The walls, floors and ceilings are all made of log boards. The partition is on the left side of the back door of the cabin. Inside is the bathroom, which is about three or four square meters. There is a wooden sink, wooden shelves, a small wooden shower room, and a wooden toilet.

The wooden furnishings are compact and tidy, and although small, they have everything they need.

When Shu Fu saw a wooden toilet for the first time, she couldn't help but touch it and found that it was indeed made of wood.

Since there is a toilet, shower and sink here, it means that wastewater will be produced whenever the raft is used.

Ordinary cruise ship wastewater is divided into grey water and black water, just like RV wastewater, but unlike RV wastewater, this water does not need to be processed manually. As long as it is filtered in the discharge device, decomposed and cleaned with bacteria, and disinfected with ultraviolet light, and is discharged into the sea more than three nautical miles from land, it can be discharged as domestic sewage.

But this raft and drifting house don’t look like complicated devices, so how are the wastewater discharged?

Shu Fu couldn't figure it out, so she tried to study the wooden washbasin and tried to turn on the wooden faucet, but no water came out.

The entire cabin looks like a model room that can only be visited but not used.

It was not until she was about to leave the cabin that she noticed the display screen behind the wooden door. There was one display screen at the front door and one at the back door of the cabin, and they looked exactly the same.

The screen is slightly larger than an ordinary tablet, and is silver in color. When you reach out and touch it, the information of the current Drifting Island House will appear. Some of the information has been seen in the drifting bottle before, and some is new.

[Raft level: Level 1 (Level 2 progress 0%)

Size of drifting island house: 10 square meters

Level 1 protection: cabin area master mode (the interior of the master area is a disaster-resistant, constant temperature, and xenophobic safe living space)

Raft functions (no water source detected around, not available for the time being): 1. Anchoring; 2. Drifting.

Driving mode: drift with the flow (flow speed: 10-20 km/h)

Daily usage limit: 5 hours (today's remaining time: 4 hours and 52 minutes)

Wastewater collection and filtration (0/1000L): 1. Automatic discharge when full (no water source detected in the surrounding area); 2. Manual discharge.

Water source options: 1. Purified water (10L per day, no water source detected in the surrounding area); 2. Water tank storage (0/500L), no water storage. 】

[How to place the raft: long press the "raft" icon (or rotate the drift bottle cap)

How to fold the raft: When the raft is placed, long press the "raft" icon

Maximum placement distance: within 20 meters]

This should be the function operation screen of the Drifting Island House.

According to the display above, in addition to drifting, the raft also has a mooring function, which means it can actively dock. Within a radius of 20 meters, she can control the placement of the raft, which means she can fold the raft at any time regardless of whether she is on the raft or not.

She checked the bracelet again, and probably because the "raft" had been placed for the first time, the fourth shape appeared on it - "raft".

Shu Fu was not surprised about the protection mode. She had written this setting into the outline because it was a relatively important function, but she also did not write it in too much detail. She just mentioned that a safe house could be built on the raft to serve as a personal shelter from wind and rain.

So the level 1 protection here means that the raft deck may not be safe, but the interior of the cabin is absolutely safe.

What surprised Shu Fu was the "wastewater" and "water source" functions above. She didn't expect it to be so detailed.

She reached out and touched the screen and found that, like a tablet, some selectable functions would jump to the next level of directory.

When she clicks on "Manual Discharge" under "Wastewater Collection and Filtration", new fonts will pop up on the screen: No wastewater discharge is detected, and no water source is detected in the surrounding area.

She immediately understood that when the wastewater reached 1000L, the raft would automatically discharge, and whether it was automatic or manual discharge, the raft needed to be placed on the water surface.

When she clicked on "Purified Water" behind "Optional Water Source", a pop-up message appeared: Are you sure "Purified Water" is "Use Order 1"?

As for the "water tank" at the back, since there is such a display here, it means there must be a water tank in the wooden house. She searched the wooden house carefully again, and finally found a small silver box in a corner of the ceiling at the entrance of the bathroom.

This box looks like it has a capacity of only about 5L. I guess it has a compressed space inside, just like the wooden house, and can store 500L of clean water!

She was worried about the water problem. After all, the bracelet backpack only had 150 cubic meters of space, and now she had too many things to stock up, and purified water took up a lot of space. But now the raft can store water and purify water, so the water problem is completely solved.

Even though the raft looked light and unreliable, and the cabin was only as big as her bedroom and had no furniture, she felt a strong sense of security when she stood in the cabin.

The biggest disaster in the future is water. With floods, tsunamis, storms and rising sea levels, Suicheng will eventually sink underwater... Now with this "unsinkable drifting island house", as long as she stockpiles enough supplies, she may be able to survive in this world for a long time...

She returned to the function screen, set the water tank to "Use Order 1", and began the experiment.

She took something out of the bracelet backpack and successfully took it out. She went into the bathroom and took out a bucket of purified water. She wanted to see how to store the purified water. Later, she found that when purified water appeared near the water tank, text would appear on the screen: Drinkable purified water is detected nearby. Do you want to store it?

She pressed the store button, the purified water in the bucket disappeared, and the screen displayed 5/500L purified water.

She thought about it, walked out of the cabin, went to the kitchen to get half a basin of water, then took some plastic bags and other garbage and went back into the cabin.

The basin is close to the water tank, and text appears on the screen again: Clean water is detected nearby, do you want to store it?

It’s quite smart without the word “drinkable”.

Shu Fu didn't click the save button and threw the plastic bag and other garbage into the basin. Soon, the text on the screen disappeared.

Got it. When water is judged as non-purified water, it cannot be stored.

She put away the basin, casually took out a shelf and placed it inside the cabin, then left the cabin and closed the door. She turned on the bracelet and long-pressed the "raft" icon, and the raft in front of her disappeared.

Then, she clicked on the "bottle" icon, and the drifting bottle reappeared in her hand, with the small raft still floating on the blue liquid in the bottle. She shook the bottle up and down, left and right, then put away the drifting bottle and directly pressed and held the "raft" icon.

When placing the raft this time, she could clearly sense that within a certain range centered on herself, she could control the landing point of the raft.

Inside the wooden house, the shelf was still in its original place. Not only did it not fall down, it didn't even move.

"The shock absorbers are good..." Shu Fu praised.

She understood completely that there are two ways to place the raft, either directly or through a "drift bottle", but there is only one way to put the raft away.

Now it seems that the only problem is that this raft is currently level 1 and can only be used for 5 hours a day. If Suicheng is flooded now, she will only be safe for 5 hours a day, and the remaining 19 hours can only stay on an ordinary rubber boat.

"Upgrading is quite important..." When I thought about the upgrade progress bar that could increase by 5% when I get up early to go to work tomorrow, it didn't seem so painful anymore. I even felt motivated because I saw hope.

The author has something to say:
