With the floating communication station issue resolved, the next step is ship construction. Before expanding the ship's size, Gu Xi needs to figure out what the updated details are.
When you first enter the game, everyone has a raft. After several disasters, Gu Xi's raft transforms into the Future. The raft is the foundation of every survivor's life. To survive in the new ocean world, and to thrive, you must build a good raft.
In the latest leaderboard after the freeze ended, Gu Xi was already used to repeatedly holding the top spot. To her, the rewards were decent, but not as appealing as the new content.
Gu Xi opened the raft's construction panel and easily found the ship update section, then quickly browsed through all the content.
This ship update only includes one feature – upgrades. After meeting certain conditions, a ship can be upgraded to a warship.
First, the base area of the ship must reach 2000 square meters.
Secondly, the ship has been equipped with a defense system. However, the conditions for this defense system are not too demanding; compared to the first condition, this one is much simpler.
Finally, and most importantly, ships need a power core. Once a ship has a power core, by adding fuel, it can stabilize its course to a certain extent, and its speed is determined by the power core.
However, the update did not provide much information on the specific details of the power core. But Gu Xi believes that, considering both the fact that it can serve as the power core of a ship and the power raw materials that need to be continuously supplied, it is energy.
Speaking of energy, Gu Xi naturally thought of the water and fire elemental essences he had encountered before. These were crystals of natural elements and should be usable as a power core. However, the key factor was that the quality of the power core determined the ship's speed, and based on this, whether they could be put into service remained to be seen.
However, based on this update, Gu Xi has some new ideas about ship layout.
With the Future Ship undergoing upgrades, it's best to dedicate space to the added functions and critical facilities. Fortunately, during this ship upgrade, she placed the floating communication station, the ship's defense and control system, and the propulsion core in one location.
In this way, the power core can be temporarily put aside, so her most important task now is to expand the base area of the ship.
The Future is currently only 600 square meters, less than half the required area for a ship. Thinking about it this way, her mission is indeed quite arduous.
Thinking about it is no substitute for actually doing it. After all, turning newly acquired synthetic materials into a ship's base is not something that can be accomplished simply by having a thought.
"Ugh! I guess I'll have to work overtime again tonight."
Gu Xi muttered to himself as he took a break from his busy work to lay the foundation for the ship.
All the work related to the expansion couldn't be delegated to other fish; she had to do it herself. In addition, she was also busy with training, so she was often busy day and night.
Although she knew that the octopus hadn't been working very hard lately, what could she do? After all, she, the fish owner and boss, was working diligently; how could the employees and subordinates be allowed to slack off?
Besides, isn't Ais the only one on the boat that can provide power for the fish? Since it's feeling tired, it can make full use of its social skills to encourage Ais to share the daily chores!
Gu Xi, deeply immersed in the toil of labor, showed no sympathy whatsoever for the somewhat busy octopus.
While she was mentally exhausting the octopus's fish-like energy, the foundation of her boat was finally laid.
