Chen Ming stood on solid ground.

The world before him was full of things that were unknown but extremely new to him.

Not just the purple plants that look similar to the green plants on the planet, just in a different color.

Chen Ming could see several new creatures that he had never seen before just by turning his eyes.

There were so many new things here that Chen Ming suddenly felt a little confused.

I want to get crops that can be planted, have high yields, and have a short growth cycle. Where should I start? Where is the most likely place to grow crops suitable for planting? Chen Ming's eyes unconsciously diverged and he fell into thought.

However, Chen Ming did not dwell on this issue for too long, nor did he dwell on where to start looking.

Instead, he chose the dumbest, but most direct and practical method.

Start from your feet.

Chen Ming half-knelt on the ground and pulled up a handful of purple grass leaves under his feet.

After taking the photo using the built-in shooting function of the advanced plant analyzer, a small section was cut out as a sample and placed into the analyzer.

A line of small text appeared on the analyzer's display.

[Analyzing…]

Then it turned into a dozen lines of densely packed small characters.

Contains all the properties of this purple grass leaf.

However, most of the analysis results have no practical significance to Chen Ming.

Because for Chen Ming now, just reading the first two lines is enough.

【Name：Purple orchid grass】

【Edible: Inedible】

The result of this analysis was within Chen Ming's expectations.

Chen Ming didn't expect to find suitable crops as soon as he landed on the planet, so he now has plenty of patience.

Chen Ming threw the pulled grass away and noticed that a small insect flew out of the grass and landed on another blade of grass.

Chen Ming stared at the chubby little bug and suddenly realized something.

Meat is also a kind of food.

If Chen Ming wants to survive in space for half a year, he can’t just rely on the planting cabin.

Hunting can also provide a lot of food.

If I could fill an entire freezer with meat, it shouldn't be a problem to last even three more months.

Chen Ming's thinking had been restricted because of the planting cabin.

Now he suddenly saw a living creature and reacted immediately.

Moreover, Chen Ming doesn't have to worry about whether some animals on Ramu are poisonous.

Since the existence of the empty jellyfish could be detected in the terminal before, other animals must be able to be detected as well.

Even if you really come across an animal you don’t recognize, you don’t know if you can eat it.

Chen Ming does have a solution.

He found several handy tools in the living quarters that had been left behind by previous crew members.

This includes something called an edibility analyzer.

Can be used to help determine whether something is edible.

If it really doesn't work, just don't eat it.

Following the idea of ​​hunting, Chen Ming thought of another point.

That is, you can observe the behavior of animals while hunting. If they are herbivorous animals, they may also eat plants.

If it is edible, that would be the best. If not, there are still animals that you have set your sights on as a backup.

Chen Ming's thoughts suddenly became clear.

After watching the little bug disappear into the grass, Chen Ming stood up and returned to the spaceship.

Not for flying a spaceship, but for making other preparations.

Although the terrain where I landed was relatively flat, it was surrounded by lush forests.

A low-flying spacecraft would likely spook them, causing them to go into hiding.

When the spacecraft's vision is limited by the woods, it is easy to miss animals hiding in them, so Chen Ming cannot use the spacecraft directly to hunt animals and can only rely on himself.

Therefore, Chen Ming planned to modify the pistol he picked up from the space station as a tool for hunting in the future and as a guarantee of his own safety.

Although this pistol is not part of the spacecraft, Chen Ming only needs to place the pistol in any cabin of the spacecraft, and its presence will be shown in the object column on the panel of that cabin.

Then the panel of the pistol can be displayed in front of Chen Ming.

【9mm semi-electromagnetic excitation pistol】

[Manufacturer: Sinda Rockwell Arms Company]

[Ammo: 5/7]

【Durability: 79%】

[Available operations: Repair/Renovation]

Just as Chen Ming expected, the pistol also has two options: repair and modification.

When Chen Ming pressed the repair button, the pistol's bullets were replenished just like when the machine gun was repaired.

As long as Chen Ming brings enough repair materials when he travels in the future, and as long as his spirit can hold on, it will be equivalent to a pistol with unlimited bullets.

Then comes the transformation.

Although Chen Ming had basically been reading the modification manuals for ship weapons and the spacecraft itself before.

But Chen Ming had also read some gun modification manuals, and in many cases, gun modifications were the same as those of ship weapons.

Therefore, there are many ways to modify firearms, including various accessories, various external devices, various modifications to the gun body itself, and so on.

Options like this make the pistol's modification panel much larger than the panels of other devices Chen Ming has modified.

Chen Ming finally selected and chose six of the transformation options.

The first is the [Caliber Modification (.45)]. As a weapon for hunting and self-defense, Chen Ming only needs a moderate caliber for this pistol, not too small, nor too large.

The second one is [Expanded Magazine (20)]. When Chen Ming first saw this modification option, he was a little surprised and didn’t quite understand it.

Because in Chen Ming's opinion, the expanded magazine is just an accessory of the pistol that can be replaced at any time.

But since it is placed on the modification panel, Chen Ming will naturally not miss the opportunity to improve the capabilities of the firearm.

Although you can refill the gun with bullets by relying on the panel, repair always takes time, and a larger magazine means greater tolerance.

Of course, being too big is not good either. A gun that is too heavy may cause some problems for someone like Chen Ming who relies purely on trial and error and has no experience in using guns.

For example, the gun cannot be held steadily, or the physical strength is not enough to wear it for a long time.

Chen Ming thought that a 20-round magazine should be more suitable.

Then there is the [Armor-Piercing Warhead]. When Chen Ming saw this modification, the same thought flashed through his mind as when he saw the expanded magazine.

This is even more excessive. It is just a modification of the pistol's consumables. Chen Ming doesn't know how to include it in the calculation.

But Chen Ming didn't worry about it. No matter what the transformation was like, as long as it was useful, it was fine.

Although Chen Ming himself had never hunted, he had heard people say that to hunt animals, it was enough to let the bullet pass through the animal's vital organs.

Therefore, the penetration of the bullet is very important.

The remaining three modifications are also accessories. There is nothing much to say about the [Flashlight] and [Red Dot Sight].

The last item, [Silencer], was something Chen Ming specially found when he saw the other accessories.

Chen Ming felt that this thing was the most important thing for his future hunting.

However, after these six options were determined, Chen Ming got off the spaceship again.

At least today, after repairing the armor of the spaceship, Chen Ming did not have the extra energy to modify the pistol and spaceship weapons.

However, Chen Ming is not without things to do. He can still search for the one he needs among these many strange plants within the protection range of the spacecraft.
