Just as Yu Miaomiao picked up her phone to check the game link message, her vision went dark, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself inside a post-apocalyptic survival game — Desert Surviv...
Chapter 238: The Eighth Day of Survival at Sea (10) We are finally meeting...
The person who knows this craft is very strange. His way of selling or manufacturing is very special. He requires the buyer to provide a description and photos of the usage scenario in advance. The reason is that he wants to research the most convenient way to survive in the apocalypse.
Those who can post photos are definitely the ones who are the fastest at item synthesis in each zone. Currently, only Yu Miaomiao, Iris and Hua Bie have unlocked it in the beta test server.
In areas like Nana that opened later, only 1-2 people have unlocked the shooting function.
So, does the poster want to see other people's drag and drop usage scenarios, or does he want to find out who has the most complete supplies on each server?
After Yu Miaomiao split the two green cores, he passed through the last layer of fog and came to a suddenly clear sea area.
At this time, the sun in the distance gradually sank into the horizon, and she was the first one to arrive at the agreed location.
As the fog dissipated, Xiaoguai woke up. He lay in the room listlessly, obviously not fully awake.
There were three multi-person bases parked in the distance. Judging from the thermal imaging of the thermal detection, they were all groups of about 10 people, and only Yu Miaomiao was alone.
Two of the groups had already sent messages to Yu Miaomiao and said hello. Apparently, they had also seen the nickname "Meow Meow is Not Queshui" on Yu Miaomiao's wall.
After a polite reply, Yu Miaomiao sent a message to the poster who posted the post about the OEM waterproof buoyancy dragger.
"Meow Meow is Not Short of Water: Hello, I need a waterproof buoyant tow device to pull my boat, and I'd like you to do some of the work for me. As for taking photos, it's not convenient for me to take pictures of my own boat, so I can only take a picture of the sea in front of me and send it to you. Is that okay?"
This person is in District 2. Through Nana, she joined an inter-district alliance that includes talented people from various districts. Someone in the alliance mentioned this person's name, saying that he is a science fanatic.
"Pathfinder: If you're not taking photos of the boat, you need to tell me how many metal plates each waterproof buoyancy tow can pull, and how many batteries you've installed. You need to take clear photos of the sea and sky and send them to me. Also, how many copies do you want to make? If you need more than fifty, I'll need delivery by tomorrow."
Seeing that he knows so much, could he really be doing some scientific experiment?
In the end times, is scientific research still useful?
If 10 waterproof buoyancy tugs can pull a cabin float forward quickly, then her metal building on the sea would need at least 100.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I need a lot. If possible, I would like to order 50 copies today to see how effective this item is. I can then ask you to do the work tomorrow."
She didn't need to hurry today, but she could give Chenchen a try. After all, they were still some distance away from her, and she didn't know whether they could successfully leave the mist before encountering the reef after dark.
"Pathfinder: Are you also researching apocalyptic systems? If you're using them for scientific analysis, I can lend you 50 copies. All you need is collateral of equal value, but you must share your analysis results with me."
He is indeed a Frankenstein.
This area is relatively peaceful. Although I have heard of some bad deeds, there is no case of server domination, and I have never heard of anyone doing anything very bad. At most, sometimes they will watch someone die without helping for the sake of some analytical data.
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Since you have extra, can I buy it directly?"
"Pathfinder: If you're just trying to fight people or race against the weather, I can't sell it to you."
The other party actually said it so directly. Isn't he afraid that she will just make up a scenario to deceive him?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: My boat is not small, and it carries quite a lot of stuff. Now I have installed two hull engines and two thrusters, but they can only barely keep the boat moving at full speed, which is quite energy-consuming. So I want to try something else to make the boat move faster. Is this what you call an experiment?"
'Pathfinder' is so honest, there is no need for Yu Miaomiao to lie to him.
"Pathfinder: Two? Are you alone? One pusher can at least push 30 metal floats, enough space for one person to move around. Why do you need two? Is your building very tall, over four stories? No, you need so many tractors. How many batteries do you need to operate them?"
Therefore, the size of each person's building can be inferred from the number of items. It turns out that they have done research on this, which makes Yu Miaomiao more vigilant.
"Pathfinder: Can you tell me how many metal and wooden floats you have, and how tall the building is?"
"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'm not alone, so I can't tell you the size of the hull, but you're right. My building is quite tall and mostly made of metal, so it requires two thrusters to pull it. As for the tug, I don't plan to use a battery to start it, but a [waterproof generator].
While replying to the message, Yu Miaomiao was browsing the discussions about light fog around the world, and at the same time took out his fishing rod, intending to catch some treasure chest fish while waiting for his companions.
"Pathfinder: The materials for 50 waterproof buoyant draggers are 150 plastic blocks, 350 screws, 500 scrap metal, 50 slime, and 50 feathers. The processing fee is a photo of your surroundings and 25 slime items. If you're interested, please contact me to trade."
Why is this Frankenstein so obsessed with environmental photos? And he is obviously not interested in the waterproof generator that Miaomiao sent.
Sure enough, when most people see this description, it is hard to imagine that it has such a usage scenario.
After Yu Miaomiao completed the transaction with the other party, she still asked the question in her mind: why she had to see photos of the environment.
Pathfinder did not answer directly, but sent a photo.
The sky in the photo is also gray, but you can see that the fog is drifting away into the distance. Half of the sky is already clear, and the arc of the rolling sea water is similar to that on this side.
『Pathfinder: Does it look familiar?』
They are all Ocean World and misty weather, so of course they look familiar.
Before Miaomiao could zoom in to take a closer look, the other party sent a new message.
"Pathfinder: From the information and photos I've collected, our weather is the same. So, I continued my analysis based on this line of thought and discovered that starting from Area 2, all ocean currents, wind directions, and water density are identical. I even found that, using my portable research device magnified 10,000 times, the sky is the same. This is the Marseilles particle world. Marseilles particles are our latest virtual sensing imaging technology. The specifics involve a lot of professional knowledge, so I won't go into detail."
"Pathfinder: Based on my many observations while taking photos, I've discovered that the photos I take aren't actually taken with real photography tools, but rather captured from within my pupil's field of vision."
Yu Miaomiao: What?
"Meow Meow is not short of water: Are you saying that the place where we live has always been fake, just an image forced into our minds or eyes by the outside world?"
How can the doomsday system world not be considered fake? What real thing can pull people into a desert world in an instant, and there is also a tactile holographic system in front of us.
"Pathfinder: It's not entirely false, but if my guess is correct, it's a PXR world. PXR technology was originally used in medical experiments. It involves installing devices on our bodies that integrate hearing, vision, touch, smell, and other senses. It's designed to help people with healthy brains but physical disabilities. However, this technology is still in the experimental stage and immature. I didn't expect it to be applied to the real world so soon. Now, every moment of my experience is so real that I'm a little hesitant to confirm it."
This knowledge is far beyond Miaomiao's cognition. It is a new shock, but also another kind of hope.
If...if it is really as this mad scientist said, Api, is it possible that Api is still alive and just offline?
"Pathfinder: The reason this technology hasn't been put into clinical trials is because brain nerve conduction is currently only at the single-phase stage. While the device can sense the outside world, once the external information reaches the brain, it will directly lead to brain death."
Now that she had received this information, Yu Miaomiao could only treat it as a new expectation.
As long as you can go back, go back early.
"Pathfinder: Okay, I'm telling you all this because you're number one on the beta server competition leaderboard. I hope you can provide me with more research information in the future. If you need me to manufacture draggers in the future, I'll still need new photos and information. Please don't reply."
Yu Miaomiao looked at the float with a somewhat distracted look. After it sank back and forth three times, she pulled up the fishing rod, and the treasure chest fish in the water was pulled up by her.
This time, he only caught a palm-sized treasure chest fish. There were several scratches on the fish's mouth, and half of its scales were missing. It looked like a fish that was about to die, or that had been caught and unhooked many times.
After taking out the dismemberment knife and slashing the small treasure chest fish, a system voice came into my mind.
[Failed to trigger the Lucky trait. Decomposition yielded 1 wolf meat, 1 mucus, 1 bone, and 1 generator. These have been stored in the system warehouse.]
Electric organ!
I'm just short of this special energy material right now. It turns out that the treasure chest fish can produce this thing. It seems I can go fishing more in the future.
The moonlight and the setting sun alternated, and the sea surface turned dark in an instant, with a silver-white band of light reflected on the sea surface.
"Sister Meow Meow!"
A horn sounded from not far away.
It’s Lulu!
When Yu Miaomiao put away her fishing rod, she saw a luxurious ship sailing towards her.
She was too absorbed in her thinking and fishing just now, and only thought that now that there was no fog, the turrets and small turrets would automatically start up when encountering the enemy, and the few people she had set up on the safety list were standing in the bright moonlight and waving at her.
Finally we meet again.
"Meow?"
Xiaoguai's puzzled voice sounded behind him. Yu Miaomiao hurried to Xiaoguai's side and sent a message of "wait a moment" to several people.
"What's the matter, Sister Meow Meow! Are you still fishing and afraid that the fish will be scared away by us?"
Another girl's voice came from the speaker, it should be Yingying.
This loudspeaker is also a disposable prop they got. It can transmit sound over a long distance and is also... very loud.
With such a loud noise, even if the treasure box fish is really scared away, it will be scared away by the sound.
Soon, Lulu's angry voice could be vaguely heard from the other side.
Yu Miaomiao spoke to Lulu in the group chat, asking her to help explain Xiaoguai's situation. Then she stood there waiting, pointing at the big ship and Xiaoguai in front of her and said, "Xiaoguai, my friends will be here soon, and we will live with them from now on. Can you please stop attacking them and get along well with us?"
If Xiaoguai is very resistant, she can only keep a certain distance from the other people and let Xiaoguai adapt slowly. After all, cats are easily stressed out.
"Meow."
Eat a meal.
