"There are three directions, and the cheapest one costs 9,000 points, but...is this a problem?"
Familiar system panel, familiar upgrade direction, except for the extra psionic energy direction due to psionic energy crystallization, everything else is exactly the same as a normal upgrade.
As for the level of points, after taking a look at the large amount of basic materials next to him, Sumo was not in any hurry and began to move the materials to reduce what was needed.
At present, the main body of the harvester has been completed, and the rest is the engine, control panel, transmission shaft and other small parts that contain the core of human wisdom.
There is no technology, but there are plenty of materials in the shelter!
Iron, fill it up for you.
Copper, I'll give you as much as you want.
Somo even brought a barrel of diesel and placed it next to the harvester.
As for the remaining bits and pieces, I took a look at the prices of various electronic products on the market, and lit up the few food left in the shelter.
Somo started trading quickly.
First of all, there are various necessities inside the car, such as batteries, tires, wheels, and other small items, because currently no one has any demand for them, and the chance of these things being opened from the treasure chest is not small.
Therefore, there is still a lot of inventory in the trading market.
After some searching, as the flour on hand became less and less, there were more and more bits and pieces on the ground.
Two LCD panels, a damaged engine unit, a faulty speaker...
Ling Ling Zong Zong, after buying these things, not counting the disaster points for express delivery fees, the flour in the shelter is almost empty.
"Good guy, if we don't harvest enough food this time, according to the current daily food consumption in the shelter, there will be a food shortage in less than a week!"
Today's underground shelter evolved after Oreo evolved and added Moore, a super capable bear warrior.
Just a minimum of eight kilograms of flour per day is enough, and that's not counting Somo's food intake, which is getting abnormal day by day.
Fortunately, after adding these items, the survival points of the first two upgrade methods finally dropped sharply and reached a reasonable range.
The upgrade direction that focuses on strengthening harvesting has been reduced from 9120 points to 5900 points.
Another one that focuses on the direction of separation and collection dropped from 11350 to 7120 points.
As for the third psionic energy direction, there is still no change. It maintains its 18500 level without wavering at all.
Without much thought, Sumo quickly made a choice after looking at the first two items.
The disaster only lasts three days, and efficiency is definitely more important than quality. Even if the percentage of collection and separation drops by a few points, it is not as reliable as planting another round soon.
At this point, just a little calculation can tell the difference between the two options.
"I choose...upgrade direction one!"
Silently thinking in his heart, looking at the empty harvester in front of him, with expectation, under Somo's thoughts, 5900 survival points disappeared like running water.
Then, a long-lost emerald green ray reappeared in the underground shelter.
Compared to the usual violent bombing upgrades, this time after spending the most expensive sum of money in history, the upgrade method was finally much gentler.
Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently.
With the touch of green light, all the materials on the ground began to gradually float in the air, as if they had life, dancing in the wind.
The hard iron and copper cubes also began to melt into various strange shapes, slowly attaching to the already formed harvester, trembling slightly.
Gradually, as more and more materials disappeared, the harvester was also covered by a thick green film, making it difficult to see clearly what "secret transactions" were going on inside.
"Huh? This seems to be the first time that something like this happens when you upgrade!"
After seeing that the green light wave column on his body had been completely broken and the green film on the harvester had not disappeared, Sumo walked closer curiously and tried to tap here and poke there with his hands.
However, this feeling is just like touching the space crack when the three welfare items were delivered, and it is extremely solid.
Fortunately, after turning into a green egg, only about half a minute later, the green film began to gradually shrink inward, and finally it lay on the newly renewed harvester and slowly disappeared.
The green film disappeared, and the giant thing in front of him showed his new face again.
The harvester was pieced together from iron sheets with inconsistent colors, but now the dilapidated scene from before can still be seen.
The silver-white paint surface has three long lines from the front to the back, and a huge "Su" character is printed on the side of the harvester's door.
The gears used for harvesting in front are even brighter and colder, and you can tell that they are extremely extraordinary at a glance.
"Is this... the power of the system? If you have money, you can really do whatever you want!"
After lying down under the excavator and looking at the areas that were originally lacking, Sumo felt that the 5,900 points were worth spending, and...
System upgrade is powerful!
Machinery is inherently about precision, and what is important is that there cannot be any major lack of precision.
According to the shape of the shell that was kneaded by hand before, even if it can run, it will not be able to work for a long time and it will have to stop.
The upgraded harvester does this very well. Every arc of the corner looks like a mechanical beauty.
"It's quite bluffing outside, but I don't know how it's going to be when it's driven!"
With a smile, Sumo walked to the side, pulled the railing to open the car door with a large print of Su characters, and got in.
With the addition of the wolf skins that I hunted when I went out for the first time in the shelter, as well as the various supplies that I collected, the cab is not luxurious, but overall it is better than the purely mechanical "embarrassment" of the Dihu.
A lot.
Among them, what attracted Sumo's attention the most were the two large crystal instruments on the central control of the harvester.
Both Earth Tiger and King Kong pursue the simplest and most extreme mechanical structure, without any electronic products mixed in.
Although this kind of design ensures durability in the apocalypse, it also loses the help of technology and loses a lot of functionality.
"The additional 5,900 survival points won't mean that an electronic control system will be installed for me, right?"
Sitting in the driver's seat with an anxious mood, the harvester started igniting for the first time and started to rumble as the key was turned.
boom!
boom!
When the third ignition beep sounded, a thick black smoke erupted from the harvester's unique single-cylinder diesel engine, leaving the garage with a lingering diesel smell.
Drip... drip... drip...
After the ignition was completed and the battery was connected, along with the beeping sound of the self-test, the pointer on the instrument panel began to rotate. At the same time, a large logo began to appear on the two large LCD instrument panels.
Sue!
It is still the familiar Chinese characters. When the character Su appears, the LCD instrument panel also completes its own self-test process, and two brand-new operation panels pop up.
"Damn it, you really built a simple electronic control system for me. The 5,900 points are so worth it!"
At present, there is no computer to program the control system in the base, and there is no specific technology tree to expand the vehicle electronic system. Relying on such a small survival point to complete a milestone leap is a lot of money.
He tried to move his fingers on the panel. After a while, Sumo finally understood the purpose of the two instrument panels.
The instrument panel on the left is used to control the harvesting function. Click the button above to automatically lower the harvester, allowing the front end of the harvester to drop to 5-10cm from the field surface. Incidentally, it can also control the speed of the front roller.
.
When all this is done, the instrument panel will light up with a green light, and then pushing the main transmission handle will cause the machine to start harvesting.
The instrument panel on the right is used for subsequent collection functions. Currently, the grain receiving platform of the harvester is still in a vertical state.
Only when the entire table is lowered, the grain discharge gate is also pulled to the "open" position, the grain bags are hung on the grain bag hooks, and the collection efficiency and direction can be adjusted by pressing the button on the instrument panel.
With these two dashboards, even if it is operated by a single person, there is no need to spend any extra effort.
"Well, being able to control it like this saves a lot of trouble, but I still need to use manpower to harvest tomorrow."
The garage space is not big, so after trying to verify it by taking turns using the front and rear function tables, Sumo nodded with satisfaction, turned off the engine and stepped out of the cockpit.
At the same time, the entire evolved harvester panel popped out at the right time, revealing its true appearance.
[Miniature combine harvester (excellent)]
[Description]: A template-type harvester built by the humble mechanic "Suma". Although it is small, it has all the internal organs. Each function of the harvester has integrated semi-intelligent control. It has good results in agricultural applications.
[Special ability]: Efficiency conversion (increase fuel consumption, improve harvesting efficiency, every time the fuel consumption doubles, the efficiency doubles, the upper limit is three times, and with the higher the magnification, the higher the probability of the harvester being damaged)
[Evaluation]: When overclocking...please remember to fill up its water tank!
"It takes about two minutes to harvest one acre of land. This speed is not slow and is not much different from ordinary small harvesters on the earth. However, compared to two hundred acres of land, planting in turns is not enough!"
For two hundred acres of land, if the original efficiency is maintained, one harvest will take just over six hours. Counting the rest time required for overheating of the machinery, eight hours should be about the same.
At this time, if there is no welfare disaster, you can still watch it, but if you have to take into account four or five rounds of planting, it will be too ink.
"Currently, the diesel reserves in the base are not enough. Even after upgrading the wells, we are still stretched. We must find ways to get some diesel from other places."
Currently, there are still 72 liters of diesel fuel in reserve at the base. If we collect it tomorrow, we can collect another 90 liters, which is enough to double the overclocking.
As for more overclocking multiples and fuel consumption of other machines, it is too extravagant to just rely on disaster points to purchase them.
It may be a good choice to take supplies to the trading secret realm to exchange some!
