Pay survival points.
Light green light overflowed from the fingertips and quickly smeared on the three empty bottles.
The first is the least expensive condensate extractor.
There is not much complicated structure, the upgrade is just a slight modification of the bottle mouth, turning it into a funnel shape.
The head of the funnel is covered with a layer of plastic sheet, exposing a small opening to collect water vapor.
Next is the simple water collector.
Three small metal sticks are welded together above the mouth of the bottle, and the joints pull a white rope hanging down from the mouth of the bottle.
A white absorbent bag hangs from the end of the rope, which is used to absorb free water vapor and form water droplets.
The modeling structure of both is very simple.
It belongs to the level where you can copy it after just a few glances and as long as you have the materials.
But when it comes to the 'Adventurer' water generator, the structure suddenly becomes complicated.
Green light lingers.
The black powder gathers layer by layer and rolls into a barrel shape, tending to the shape of a thermos cup.
Then the material of the bottle began to change, from PE material to special metal material.
With a snapping sound, the joints were tightly connected.
The green light retracted, and the plastic bottle of Nongfu Spring suddenly turned into a pure black thermos cup.
“Did it happen so quickly?”
Sumo let out a light sigh and reached out to take the thermos cup over.
Heavy, at least over a pound, and feels full of texture.
Unscrew the cup lid, and the cup mouth and cup body are integrated, with no seams visible.
Look inside through the raised spout.
Since there is not much zero light in the tent, even if you have the 'eye of true seeing', you will not be able to see the structure inside.
After some inspection, I found a button under the cup.
Press and the bottom of the cup pops up, revealing a groove the size of a fingernail.
“This should be where the powder is placed.”
Somo nodded slightly and paid five special survival points.
An illusory object began to solidify in the groove, and after a few seconds, a black fixed block was formed.
Push back the fixing block and the groove, and the ordinary thermos cup suddenly vibrates.
Shua.
As if a stream is rushing inside the bottle, traces of water molecules invisible to the naked eye quickly gather into the cup.
In less than a minute, the shock disappeared.
A hint of sweetness immediately escaped from the open mouth of the bottle.
“So fast?”
Su Mo was shocked.
It is indeed the technology of the academy. It is not an exaggeration to call it magic.
Except for the need for special powder every time to make water, there are almost no shortcomings. It is simply the best tool for walking in the wild.
"Go back and study it carefully. If you can decipher it, it will be much more convenient to use water for expeditions in the future!"
Sumo shook the cup and could already hear the sound of water sloshing inside.
Looking up, sweet fresh water gushes out and washes into the burning mouth.
It’s like returning from hell to heaven!
The cold water slides through the mouth and moistens the throat. The instant comfort is like manna sprinkled on the dry land, and every area is singing!
Continuing to rush down through the lungs and into the stomach, more and more pleasure feels like the soul is being washed.
The feeling of satisfaction that comes from the bottom of my heart makes people feel like they have been reborn!
“It’s great! Come again!”
If you replenish water suddenly when you are dehydrated, the osmotic pressure of the extracellular fluid will instantly increase.
After drinking a cup of 500 ml tons, the feeling of thirst is not relieved, but intensified.
However, now that you can get a refill at five o'clock, Somo will naturally not be stingy.
Pop out the groove, pour out the white slag powder inside, and embed new hard pieces.
The sound of running water sounded again, this time slightly slower than before.
It took about a minute and a half to complete the generation.
Another 500 ml went into the throat, and the uncomfortable hot feeling that made the whole body finally subsided.
But, it’s not enough!
Five points are spent again, and the generation time is longer.
After about four minutes, the sound of slowly flowing water disappeared.
At the same time, the feeling of dryness in the tent became more and more obvious, and it was difficult to breathe.
"It seems that the same place is generated multiple times, which will also affect the efficiency."
Keeping this in mind, Soma raised his head and drank wildly again.
Don't stop until the game prompt sounds.
[Record]: The daily task ‘Survival and Minimum Living Living’ has been completed.
For other contestants, the extremely demanding task of drinking water was completed so easily.
Without any joy in his heart, Somo poured the remaining fresh water evenly into the other two collectors.
About three hundred milliliters.
After putting the water generator in his arms, he stood up and unzipped the tent.
At this time.
The three people in the distance were already lying on the ground, sleeping soundlessly to regain their strength.
Qi Jie, however, was still walking around faithfully, patrolling and guarding against any threats.
Even Sumo couldn't help but nod secretly when he saw this vigilance and willpower.
After all, if it were an experienced person, he would probably have slept to death on the ground like the three of them.
“Qi Jie.”
Sumo lowered his voice and shouted.
Qi Jie, who was in the distance, heard the noise and quickly walked back at a faster pace.
From a distance, you can see a trace of solemnity on his thin, red and swollen face.
While patrolling just now, Qi Jie was not idle either, constantly thinking about how to make a water-fetching device out of empty bottles.
But no matter how you think about it, the current materials and environment cannot meet the basic conditions.
In addition to about twenty minutes, even if the materials were enough, he didn't think it could be made in such a short time.
So, he also lowered his voice:
"Lord, are you short of materials?"
"No, let me patrol instead, you go in and have a rest."
Pointing to the inside of the tent, Sumo coughed slightly, but his voice was not as hoarse as before.
Rest?
Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, subconsciously preparing to refuse.
But when he turned his head, he was suddenly startled when he saw that there seemed to be some shiny and swaying liquid at the entrance of the tent!
"Go in, don't let anyone know."
"Yes!"
The so-called people are naturally not the three people sleeping in the distance, but the people in the sky At this time, there were spectators watching the battle.
Being able to produce water in such a short period of time is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Be low-key, that’s right.
With joy and excitement, Qi Jie quickly lowered his body and nimbly got into the tent.
Imitate Somo and zip up the tent, leaving only a small gap for light.
After making sure that no one could see in from the outside, Qi Jie used the only light to look at the objects on the ground.
"This is."
Seeing the two modified bottles on the ground, Qi Jie's eyes suddenly shrank.
He first carefully picked up the water collector on the left and tried the triangle frame on it with his fingers.
Feeling the solid feeling returned by touch, the already restless mood became even more agitated.
How is this possible?
He didn't believe that Sumo would enter the main game with a triangular iron frame that could just fit around the mouth of the bottle.
And the game will not allow players to bring such external items into the main game.
But
How did this come about? Qi Jie was greatly puzzled.
But soon, his attention was attracted by the liquid sloshing in the collector.
“Water?”
I put it to the mouth of the cup and smelled it. There was no peculiar smell.
Tilt the bottle carefully, and a trace of fresh water moistens the cracked lips.
Refreshing and sweet!
Qi Jie's eyes lit up and he quickly opened his mouth and took a small mouthful.
The water is quickly absorbed by the dry mouth, and the only body fluid flows down the throat.
A strong sense of relief came, like a bird that had broken free and could soar freely in the blue sky.
It wasn't until the water in the collector hit the bottom that he suddenly came back to his senses.
“It’s so comfortable!”
"Enjoy!"
More than one hundred milliliters of water, although it cannot satisfy the body's thirst for water after walking in the desert for a day.
But the hope coming from the bottom of my heart quickly focused my distracted spirit.
"There are only two bottles, and the other one."
Qi Jie secretly guessed.
Although the two devices in front of me are beyond imagination, they are absolutely unable to generate hundreds of milliliters of water in such a short time.
Obviously, the missing one is the key.
But thinking about this, Qi Jie became more and more relaxed.
From time travel to the present, there are many things that cannot be explained about human Su Shen. This is nothing at the moment.
Compared with the exaggerated Dongfeng missile, this water is simply nothing!
"You are right to follow the lord."
After thinking about this clearly, Qi Jie's originally anxious mood relaxed along with his body.
Pick up another water bottle next to you and drink the water inside.
He stood up and walked out of the tent.
Seeing Somo not far away, the respectful look on his face couldn't help but become stronger.
"Lord, do those two collectors need to be buried now?"
He was very smart and did not ask where the water came from, acting as if he was completely unaware.
"Just watch it, don't worry too much."
"It is a little different from ordinary devices, you will know it tomorrow."
"Understood."
Qi Jie nodded, turned and left.
Watching his back go away, a flash of appreciation flashed in Somo's eyes.
If the territory is full of smart people like Qi Jie, then it will be too easy to develop.
Compared to a seasoned man, compared to a male gunman.
Qi Jie, who has experienced hardship, is obviously more proficient in the survival principles of surviving in the wasteland.
Withdrawing his gaze, Soma looked at the surrounding sand dunes.
Solving the drinking water problem has actually reduced the difficulty of desert survival by 70%.
Even if you don’t eat a bite, the fat stored can last you nine days.
However, considering that the main race lasts for thirty days, fighting with foreign races is inevitable after landing on Kirishima.
If you want to win the tripod, you must ensure your physical strength and combat power are maintained throughout the process.
"The next step is to find food and make fast-moving devices!"
Looking across the surrounding bare desert, Somo suppressed the waves of hunger in his belly.
A huge desert would be fine without an oasis.
Along the way, not even the slightest shadow of wild plants or animals was seen.
This is obviously contrary to common sense. We can't let the survivors go out relying only on the supplies provided by the merchants, right?
"So."
Opening the map, Sumo focused on the terrain where the ups and downs didn't seem obvious.
Throw away those meaningless distorted lines.
About every 120 kilometers, a shallow straight line will appear on the ground, extending from the top of the desert to the bottom, dividing the two sides.
From left to right, there are about five lines, ending exactly at 600 kilometers.
"Is the situation different in each section of the road?"
Su Mo secretly guessed, but there was no way to verify this discovery immediately.
We traveled during the day, covering a total distance of about sixty kilometers.
There is still almost a distance to go before the terrain changes, and we will have to wait at least until tomorrow evening to arrive.
Besides, changes in terrain are not necessarily a good thing.
According to the rules of previous games, if food is provided, the difficulty will immediately increase.
“I didn’t expect it.”
“I was not hungry when I traveled to the wasteland, but I am actually hungry in this race.”
It is impossible to confirm the surrounding area After finding any food, Sumo didn't want to waste his energy wandering around.
Wait until Qi Jie finished burying two water collection devices in the hiding place.
After the two discussed keeping vigil with each other, Somo entered the tent first and fell asleep.
No words for a night.
Due to the different time differences between the main race and the outside world, when it dawns again in the desert, the wasteland outside has just entered dusk.
Many people curiously entered the arena to watch, only to see that the number of survivors had decreased.
The number of people decreased by 3 from 1435 to 1432.
"It's really unlucky. This guy can sprain his ankle while walking in the desert. Is it true?" Thinking of being directly judged to be in danger of life and removed from the game."
"Sprained feet, heat stroke? Isn't this too crazy?"
"Haha, the person I'm watching is even worse. He probably guessed that he might not be able to find food in a short period of time during the main race, so he probably ate a lot before coming in, but he didn’t expect that the first place was desert. He started to have vomiting and diarrhea after walking very far, and he moved out.”
“Unlucky, unlucky, we humans will lose three people if we don’t make it to the finals.”
"There is no way, not any route can help in such a difficult environment."
In the nearby area, spectators can communicate without restriction.
Everyone was complaining to each other, and soon they were passing on information via relay, as well as chatting on the World Channel.
I saw news about the human Su Shen.
"Latest news, Su Shen is very stable here. I saw last night that he has made two water-fetching devices!"
"Is it true? How did you make it? Do you have any good friends to share?"
"I didn't see the specific operation. It was done in a windproof tent, but I am sure you can also make the device. It’s the simplest temperature difference water dispenser.”
“Windproof tent? Damn, where can I get this good thing?”
“Tent merchants sell it with points from the competition. It can be replaced, but the water intake device cannot be replaced. I don’t know what Su Shen is made of.” It stops when it drops to 25 degrees, which doesn’t provide the conditions for getting water.”
"That's right, this desert is different from ordinary deserts. It seems that we still have to find an oasis."
There are only a limited number of spectators in each area, and the "war reporters" on the front line convey the news as much as possible.
Since the lowest lens can only be maintained at fifty meters, everyone can only rely on a few flashback lenses provided by the game to see when the first device was put down.
It is a very simple temperature difference collector that many people have made by themselves.
Therefore, when the temperature difference is not large, almost no one is optimistic that the collector can successfully obtain fresh water.
But at this moment, the World Channel suddenly became lively.
“Get up, get up, the latest news, Su Shen has gotten up!”
“It’s only five o’clock in the morning in the desert, I haven’t slept for a few hours, my physical strength can be restored "
"The temperature is low in the morning, so it's comfortable to go on the road. You know a hammer, don't sleep until noon and you won't die from the heat!"
"Su Shen's men have already gone to the place where the device was buried yesterday! I went to see it, but I don’t know how efficient it is?”
"Wait, there seems to be water?"
"Holy shit, there really is water, and holy shit, the bottle on the left is at least half full, right?"
" What, half a bottle?”
