Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 16 Evolutionary Conjectures

Reluctantly crawling out of the comfortable pergola, Chen Xuan stood up and looked at the upgraded "Kunpeng" at his feet.

After expanding by 5 square meters, the area of ​​the raft was directly doubled, and the originally crowded space was liberated a lot.

Because a pergola is added to the raft, in order to balance the weight on the raft, the system intelligently expands the raft from the original square to a rectangular structure, and at the same time adjusts the position of the mast.

The mast is now next to a small opening of the pergola, and the pergola occupies half of the center of the raft.

Due to the change of the layout of the raft, Chen Xuan thought about it and adjusted the position of the fresh water collector to match this change.

The adjusted fresh water collector is just above the pergola, so that even if Chen Xuan is in the pergola, he can easily reach out to get fresh water, and it can also stabilize the center of gravity better.

He also transferred the previous supplies to the pergola, a total of 10 buckets of instant noodles and 5 coconut-packed drinks.

In order to prevent it from falling, he made some new fishing nets to wrap and fix. The previous fishing net with special effects was put away by him, and he planned to repair it and use it for fishing again.

And because of the accumulated experience, Chen Xuan only spent half the time before weaving the new fishing net this time.

Considering that it was not used for fishing, he did not waste materials and optimized the system.

After finishing all this, Chen Xuan unfolded the system panel and began to count the remaining supplies.

【Current resources】：
"Wood": 28 units
"Plant fiber": 95 units
"Bioplastic": 30 units
"Oil": 10 units
The materials just collected were basically consumed again.

"After working hard for a long time, I returned to the front of the collection." Chen Xuan sighed.

The construction of the raft has basically been completed, and Chen Xuan, who is free now, intends to resolve the previous doubts.

While collecting seaweed underwater, he found that his breath-holding limit had actually increased a bit, and he swam a considerable distance.

I know my own physical fitness. From childhood to adulthood, his physical test scores have always been the highest in the class, especially in long-distance running and swimming. He has never lost to anyone he knows.

But he knows better where his limits are.

He is well aware that his lung capacity and endurance have quietly changed.

But he doesn't know how much it has improved. After all, without equipment, it is difficult to measure the two.

Now you need to do some other tests on yourself to see if this change is also happening in other areas.

Due to the limited space on the raft and the absence of any equipment, he could only conduct two simple tests first.

Test the strength first.

Chen Xuan converted a log with a length of more than 3 meters and the thickness of an arm, and the raft sank in an instant.

He held the log in his hand and weighed it. A log weighs about 50kg.

Then he transferred a log of the same specification to his hand, and the raft sank again.

The total weight of the logs he hugged also reached 100kg.

But it's not enough, add more.

Another log was used, and the weight reached 150kg.

But he was still able to hold him. One must know that he could barely hold the heaviest brother in the class at most, and he only weighed 90kg.

This means that he can now pick up three or four normal-sized female classmates at a time.

Although his appearance is still the image of a gentle scholar, it contains terrifying power.

But he can clearly feel that 150kg is his limit.

After the strength test was over, Chen Xuan took back the log and started the next test, the high jump.

This item measures your jumping ability.

He looked up at the mast above.

The height of the mast is about 3 meters, which is almost the height of the basket.

This height, with his height of 180 centimeters, was unattainable before. Not only him, but he has never seen anyone else who could.

He often plays basketball and has seen many good jumpers.

Now, maybe he can set a new record?
At this moment, Chen Xuan squatted down slightly, his eyes were fixed on the top of the mast, and after a moment of preparation, he jumped up sharply and jumped on the spot.

This time, he did not touch the top of the mast, because his hand was above the mast, about 0.5 meters high.

"My jumping ability is now good enough to play in the professional league."

After falling back on the raft, Chen Xuan was very excited.

He felt as if he had been injected with the body-strengthening serum that only appeared in sci-fi movies.

Not only lung capacity and physical strength, but also my own strength and jumping ability have also been strengthened accordingly.

If it corresponds to the attributes in the system, it should be [strength] and [physical strength].

He expanded the system panel and looked at his character attributes:
[Name]: Chen Xuan
[Power]: Tier [-].

[Physique]: Tier [-].

[Spirit]: Second level.

[Agility]: Level one.

The properties on the panel do not show signs of growth compared to before.

"Maybe it's because the increase is not enough to be judged by the system as an attribute upgrade." Chen Xuan guessed.

There are also [Spirit] and [Agility], because there is no good test method, so it is impossible to determine whether it is enhanced.

Although he himself feels that these two items should also be improved, it cannot be ruled out that there will be mistakes in subjective judgments.

In addition, although the system did not respond, his physical fitness has actually been strengthened.

Why is that?
Could it be that the system has changed his body invisibly?

Or is it the changes brought about by the end of the flood?
Chen Xuan frowned in thought.

He is more inclined to the second.

On reflection, this makes perfect sense.

After all, the previous changes in organisms and plastics are actually an obvious sign, which is due to the mutation caused by some unknown environmental changes triggered by the disaster.

He is also in the same environment, and this mutation can also affect him.

No, not a mutation.For him, it should be an evolution.

And it is highly likely that this evolution will happen to all humans and all species.

If so, a new era seems to have arrived.

Chen Xuan raised his head and looked at the sky. It was still afternoon, and there was still some time before evening.

The system panel that was just opened has not been closed yet, so he took a look at the [Black Technology Module] by the way. In this column, there is only the "Movable Type Illustrated Book Module" that has not been unlocked.

"Movable Type Illustrated Book Module": the crystallization of wisdom, the cornerstone of civilization.Activation requirements: 10 units of plant fiber, 10 units of gel, and 10 units of metal.

"Gel" has never been found, and metal...

Chen Xuan looked at the TV tower in front of him.

It stands to reason that the top material of the TV tower should be a steel structure, which can be regarded as metal.

Can it be smelted and collected?

And if you have "Metal", you can also unlock the balance module in [Vehicle Technology].

Balance module: keep the boat balanced and shock-absorbing, and will not capsize.Requirements: 20 units of "Metal".

With the balance module, the vehicle can maintain balance, greatly reducing shaking and avoiding the risk of capsizing.

This is definitely a huge improvement in the safety and comfort of sailing.

Chen Xuan was eager to try.

Considering that the melting point of metals is generally relatively high,

He fired a flame equivalent to the strength of melting seaweed directly at the top of the TV tower.

It was of no use, however, and the spire of the television tower was unharmed.

Afterwards, Chen Xuan raised the temperature several times in a row until it reached his limit.But the spire of the TV tower was only burning red, showing no sign of melting.

The spire and the TV tower without fusing are equivalent to a whole, which has far exceeded his collection limit, and he cannot take it away.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to give up.

The work is basically done, and you should consider leaving.
