Chapter 2 Level 1 Water Collector
"system?"
Zhang Tuohai was stunned at first, then his face lit up with joy. If he had a system, it would be much more convenient for him in the future.
"System, are you there?"
Zhang Tuohai tried to ask.
The system was silent.
Zhang Tuohai asked several times in his mind, but the system was silent and there was no response.
"Can't communicate?"
Zhang Tuohai was guessing in his heart.
However, the most important thing now is to open the supply box and verify the accuracy of the system.
Zhang Tuohai came to the white supply box, inserted the flat head of the crowbar into the gap in the lid, and pushed down hard.
With a creaking sound, the lid of the supply box was pried open.
The supply box flashed and disappeared, revealing its contents.
A bottle of mineral water and a piece of nitrogen-packed whole-wheat bread fell to the ground.
Zhang Tuohai hurriedly picked up the mineral water and bread.
There are only three words "Mineral Water" written on the mineral water bottle, and there is no information about the production place or production time.
The same goes for the bread packaging, which only has the words "whole wheat bread" written on it, with no other information.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Tuohai would never touch such three-no products.
However, Zhang Tuohai's stomach was empty now, and the churning stomach acid made him feel very uncomfortable. He could not care less and tore open the package and stuffed the bread into his mouth.
The aroma of whole wheat bread instantly spreads in your mouth, and the bread is sweet and soft, as if it has just been taken out of the oven.
I finished a portion of whole wheat bread in just a few bites, and the pain in my stomach was relieved a lot.
Zhang Tuohai opened the bottle of mineral water again and gulped down half a bottle in one breath. Only then did he feel a lot better.
Although he was still a little thirsty, Zhang Tuohai tightened the cap and put it away carefully after seeing that only half of the bottle of mineral water was left.
I don’t know when I’ll find the next supply box, so I have to use it sparingly.
After finding the first supply box, Zhang Tuohai felt relieved and continued driving, scanning the road back and forth.
This time the car drove for about 40 minutes before Zhang Tuohai found the supply box again.
And there are two of them.
Two white supply boxes were placed on the left and right in the middle of the road.
"There are two of them? Could they also be bread and water?"
Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up.
He wasn't full at all with the one loaf of bread just now. With his appetite, he could eat at least four loaves of bread of this quality.
Zhang Tuohai grabbed a crowbar and jumped out of the car.
Before he could do anything, the electronic synthesized voice rang out again.
[There is a mouse with germs in the supply box on the left. If bitten by it, there is a certain chance of contracting the Black Death. ]
[There is a level 1 equipment manufacturing diagram in the box on the right. ]
Big mouse!
Black Death!
Hearing these two words, Zhang Tuohai instinctively took two steps back.
He had heard of the Black Death a long time ago.
It is said that the Black Death killed one-third of Europe's population during the Middle Ages.
In this environment where medical facilities are extremely scarce and supplies have to be collected by oneself, getting sick or injured could very likely mean death.
Not to mention the Black Death, which was almost certain to cause death.
Based on the principle of caution, Zhang Tuohai chose to stay away from the box on the left.
Zhang Tuohai carefully moved to the box on the right and knocked open the lid with a crowbar.
The supply box disappeared, revealing a piece of parchment.
Zhang Tuohai picked up the parchment.
[Level 1 water collector: The lowest level water collector, which can collect 1-2 liters of water per day. The output will vary depending on the environment. ]
[Resources required for construction: 4 units of metal fragments, 2 units of metal parts, 2 units of glass fragments. ]
When Zhang Tuohai saw the description on the drawing, his eyes lit up.
According to scientific research, a person's normal daily water intake is about 2 liters.
If we ignore physical health and only consider what is needed to maintain life, it can be compressed to 1 liter or even less.
In other words, as long as Zhang Tuohai builds this water collector, he can basically meet his water supply needs.
If he reduces his demands a bit, he can even sell some of them in exchange for the resources he needs.
As a core player of business simulation games, Zhang Tuohai is well aware of the importance of first-mover advantage.
As long as he establishes an advantage at the beginning, resources will gather towards him like a snowball, and his development speed will become faster and faster, using his resource and technological advantages to fleece others.
Now, the only problem is how he can obtain the resources to build the water collector first.
Zhang Tuohai's gaze rested on the half bottle of mineral water he had left.
Zhang Tuohai returned to the car, closed his eyes, concentrated, and entered the game interface.
At this time, there were still many people in the chat channel complaining about why they were selected into the highway survival game.
A few pioneers were cursing the stinginess of the items in the supply boxes.
"I just opened a supply box and got 2 units of glass fragments. What's the use of this crap?"
"I just opened a broken piece of metal and was bitten by a big rat. Does anyone have medicine to treat tetanus?"
"Woo woo, I only got 10 units of gasoline. Who of you has water? Let's exchange. I'm so thirsty!"
After spending five minutes in the chat channel and snooping around, I discovered that no one mentioned anything about the manufacturing blueprints or the prompt system.
"It seems that I am still very lucky. If it weren't for the reminder system, I would be the one lying in the car asking for help." Zhang Tuohai felt fortunate, then opened the trading channel and put up the half bottle of mineral water.
【For sale: 300 ml of mineral water. 】
[Exchange: 8 units of metal fragments + 8 units of metal parts + 8 units of glass fragments]
[Note: If you have other valuable materials, please chat privately]
The reason why Zhang Tuohai asked for a high price was mainly to give the other party room to bargain.
Otherwise, if the other party uses other important resources to make up for the price difference, he may not be able to build the water collector in the first place.
After posting the transaction information, Zhang Tuohai prepared to continue driving to search for supplies.
However, just as he was about to launch the attack, his eyes fell on the resource box containing the mouse again.
"If I take this box away, can I trick others at the critical moment?"
Such an idea suddenly popped up in Zhang Tuohai's mind.
With the idea of giving it a try, Zhang Tuohai got out of the car again, walked to the side of the supply box, and tried to move it.
The supply box was very light, and Zhang Tuohai lifted it without much effort.
"It really works." Zhang Tuohai's eyes lit up.
He carefully placed the supply box on the back seat of the car.
"It would be fine if no one messed with me, but if someone is tactless..."
Zhang Tuohai glanced at the white supply box on the back seat of the car and sneered.
After driving for about another half an hour, Zhang Tuohai found another white supply box.
"The supply box contains a roll of hemostatic bandage and a sausage. There is no danger, please feel free to open it." The prompt system gave a prompt again.
Zhang Tuohai pried open the supply box and found a roll of sealed hemostatic bandage and a sausage that was about the same thickness as a piece of meat.
There is no branding either.
Resisting the urge to eat it, Zhang Tuohai put the sausage away.
He doesn't have much supplies now, and the sausages must be kept as reserve rations and cannot be wasted.
At the same time, Zhang Tuohai also gained a preliminary understanding of the game.
He drove for about 2 hours and came across 4 supply boxes in total. Except for one box that contained a rat infected with the Black Death, the remaining three were filled with various supplies.
In other words, as long as you dare to drive forward, you will gain something more or less.
In addition, by exchanging what they have on the trading channel, it should be no problem to obtain supplies for survival.
Most people can survive the initial test unless they stay where they are and try to wait for help from others.
