Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 4 Departure, Kunpeng
A raft, that is, a wooden raft tied with long timber, is a simple means of water transportation.

The first step in building a raft is naturally to collect materials.

Chen Xuan counted all the wood in the space and found that it was only enough to assemble a simple log, about 1 meter in length and about the thickness of an arm.

And if you want to build a simple raft, you need 20 such woods, which is 40 units of wood.

In addition, ropes for binding the wood are required.

It's not even close.

Chen Xuan looked up into the distance.

There is still a lot of material there.

The most trouble-free way is to move the rescue capsule to a location near the material, and then use the system to suck the material.

However, the rescue capsule itself does not have a power plant.

Chen Xuan transformed the wood in the system space into a long plank, and held the plank as a paddle, paddling vigorously.

However, although the rescue capsule was successfully moved, no matter how hard Chen Xuan swung the oars, even his face turned red, it still just spun around on the spot.

It's by no means that Chen Xuan can't paddle, after all, Chen Xuan grew up in a water village.

Although the boat is no longer an ordinary means of transportation after the development of science and technology, it is still a part of daily entertainment. Chen Xuan can also be said to have rich experience in boating.

It can only show that this rescue capsule is more difficult to move than imagined.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to give up.

The method of moving the rescue pod doesn't work, or swimming through it?
But with my current state, I can barely swim 50 meters or 100 meters, but if I go to the water to collect so many materials, it will take a mile if I count the round trip.

Chen Xuan could swim, but he was still not at the level of an athlete, and he was still hungry. He might as well choose to commit suicide.

But for manual masters, the best thing is to use tools.

Chen Xuan moved his eyes to the black technology column.

"Rope stretching module": make stretchable ropes, the length and thickness of which are up to you.Activation requirements: 2 units of plant fiber.

Although it looks very tasteless, it happens to come in handy.

Chen Xuan closed his eyes and used the "rope telescopic module" for the first time, only to see the number of "plant fiber" on the panel jumped to 3 units.

Then Chen Xuan's stream of consciousness flowed quickly again, similar to the feeling when he just activated the [Black Technology Module], but this time it was only a few seconds, and he didn't feel any discomfort.

"'Rope telescopic module' loaded successfully!"

Huh? It feels as if there is a sudden extra ability.Chen Xuan looked a little surprised.

He closed his eyes and felt it slightly.

It turned out to be the case.

Immediately, he opened his eyes, his eyes flickered, and he held his right palm and flicked it lightly.

A silver-gray rope suddenly appeared from his hand and was thrown out, and he held one end tightly.

interesting.

Chen Xuan looked curiously at the retractable rope that was just made.

The texture of the rope is hard to tell, it feels like ordinary hemp rope, but it has a metallic luster.

Chen Xuan pulled the rope hard, confirming that the rope produced by the system is very tough, and the length of the rope is about 1 meter.

Closing his eyes, Chen Xuan could feel that his consciousness could be extended through the rope. When he tried to extend his consciousness, the rope in his hand stretched silently, and when he retracted his consciousness, the rope followed suit. shorten.

This corresponds to the length of the system in the introduction.

At the same time, the "plant fiber" in the space is also consumed. It seems that the use of the special function of rope expansion and contraction must be supported by the system.

This rope can only play a role in his hands, leaving him, it is a good quality rope.

It's a pity that such a good thing can't be sold now.

Chen Xuan looped one end of the retractable rope and tied a knot, thus making a noose.

Standing on the rescue capsule, looking for a good angle, Chen Xuan tried to throw the lasso towards the material closest to him.

The silver-gray lasso drew a parabola in the air. When it was about to approach a wooden board, it grabbed it with precision as if it were alive. Then, under the influence of Chen Xuan's consciousness, it was quickly recovered, causing layers of waves to rise on the water. ripples.

When it was within one meter of the side, the wooden plank was taken in by the system in an instant.

The first battle was won.

Chen Xuan's eyes moved slightly, with a hint of surprise.From the introduction, the ability of length as you like is very tasteless, but in actual operation, this function is unexpectedly powerful.

After he has determined the direction and the stretching rope is attached to his consciousness, he can not only accurately extend it accordingly, but even make some fine-tuning.

This means that as long as he locks on the target, he can hit every target!
Not only that, because the retractable rope can be retracted automatically under his consciousness, which can save a lot of physical strength by reducing the steps of pulling the rope back.

For Chen Xuan, who is in short supply of physical strength and calories, this is undoubtedly a timely help.

Rubbing his hands expectantly, Chen Xuan started to try more.At the same time, I began to calculate the route and angle in my mind, so that the lasso can "lead" more items in the process of retracting, so that more materials can be grabbed at a time.

With Chen Xuan's sharp vision and well-developed mind, the direction was quickly determined, and the efficiency was also improving rapidly.

The continuous gains made Chen Xuan high-spirited, with excitement written all over his face.

However, the big countdown on the panel quickly turned this feeling into anxiety.

The movements of his hands involuntarily accelerated.

Sweat gradually broke out, soaking his chest and back.

But there was only one thought in his mind.

Be quick, be quick!
In the end, Chen Xuan collected a total of 63 units of wood and 128 units of plant fiber.

But for some reason, the number 63 made him look very uncomfortable.

He threw the lasso again and pulled a distant plank in front of him.

After collecting, the number of wood displayed on the system panel reached 64 units.

Comfortable now.

At this moment, the countdown to [Rescue Capsule] disappearing is displayed as 0:48.

After the materials are collected, enter the second step, assembly.

This step is much easier.

Turning his thoughts, 20 regular-shaped logs were neatly arranged in front of Chen Xuan, consuming 40 units of [Wood].

Two more stretchable ropes were converted, and 40 units of [Plant Fiber] were consumed to extend them to a sufficient length.

Then, Chen Xuan knelt on the rescue cabin, carefully wrapped the two ends of 20 pieces of wood with ropes, and fixed them.

Sweat kept dripping down his chin.

After about 20 minutes, an extremely crude raft that seemed to fall apart at the slightest touch was finally born.

The final step, and the most critical, is optimization.

Chen Xuan clenched his fists nervously.

This is the first time he has used the "Manual Expert Module".

After giving the system the command to optimize the raft, the numbers on the panel suddenly jumped, and a large amount of materials disappeared.

At the same time, a huge blazing white light seemed to appear in front of Chen Xuan from the inside of the raft, wrapping the simple raft he had worked so hard for and then blooming violently.

This time the light lasted for a long time, far longer than the time it took to make the shrinkage rope.

It is foreseeable that in the future, whether it is making higher-level technology or optimizing more complex items, it will definitely take longer.

But can you please hurry up now?

Chen Xuan looked at the countdown watch again, there were 23 minutes left!

Every second is so long now.

Time ticks by.

20 minutes left.

19 minutes.

18...

……

After Chen Xuan looked at his watch for the 18th time, the white light finally dissipated.

"The raft has been optimized for the first time, and it has been blessed by the effect! (The vehicle can sometimes absorb fatal damage for you.)"

A raft that looked much better than before suddenly appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

The wood is tightly bound together by straw ropes, so tight that even sea water cannot penetrate.

The overall area is small, square, about 5 square meters.

A mast stood upright with a sail made of sackcloth.A finely textured wooden oar is fixed at the stern.

Compared with before, it is completely heaven and earth, and there are more sails and wooden oars.Beautiful like a work of art.

The most important thing is the attribute of blessing. This is the first time Chen Xuan sees the special features of the handmade master module.

The raft can absorb damage. Although it is probabilistic, it is still an extra guarantee of life.

I just don't know what other special effects the raft can optimize besides "shelter".

It's a pity that there is only one opportunity for special optimization among the same type of items, otherwise Chen Xuan would really like to make a few more rafts to see the effect.

Chen Xuan couldn't wait to jump on the raft he had worked so hard to build, followed by a system prompt.

"System prompt: Vehicle detected, enable [Vehicle Engineering] function!
The host can choose to bind the vehicle independently. The binding cannot be canceled after the binding is successful. After the binding, the vehicle can be upgraded.

Vehicle details can be viewed in the [Vehicle Engineering] panel. "

It turns out that rafts can also be upgraded.

"System prompt: [raft] detected, confirm the binding?"

"Confirm!" Chen Xuan said without hesitation, this raft is his life support at present.

"Ding! The binding is successful, please name it"

Chen Xuan thought about it for a while, and decided to name it "Kunpeng".

The so-called "There is a fish in the North, and its name is Kun. The size of the Kun is unknown to thousands of miles away. When it turns into a bird, its name is Peng. The back of the Peng has no idea how many thousands of miles away it is."

Chen Xuan hoped that this raft could evolve like a Kunpeng in the future, wandering between heaven and earth.

After successfully binding the vehicle, the [Emergency Rescue Cabin] ended its mission and quickly dissipated into a stream of light.

The system countdown also stopped at 0:02 and then slowly faded away.

At this moment, the time has arrived at noon before you know it, and the scorching sun is on your head.

The feeling of hunger and thirst became more intense.
