Chapter 188: Epic-Level Generator Room
Yu Yuan then began operations within the [Shelter Editing] function. Based on the load capacity, structural form, and column spacing provided by the editor, he adjusted the number of load-bearing columns needed for each floor. This point was crucial.
He certainly didn't want to be buried alive one day by a shelter he had personally modified.
Fortunately, the editor displayed the load-bearing area for each column, allowing him to arrange them directly according to the schematic diagram.
Later, if he needed to build other facility rooms, he could also replace these load-bearing columns based on the situation of the load-bearing walls.
Once all settings were complete, he followed the prompt and left the shelter.
As he pressed the [Confirm] option.
The entire shelter was enveloped in a green light screen, and a 30-minute countdown appeared.
Seizing this time, Yu Yuan went to check on the flock of Cree Mountain sheep.
Mie Mie followed behind him.
Seeing Yu Yuan appear, the sheep immediately crowded around, stretching their necks and sniffing at something.Yu Yuan promptly fed them the green grass traded from the Taotao Hole, but suddenly felt something seemed off.
He hurriedly counted them.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
6!
Where was that ram?
When Yu Yuan saw that the missing one was actually the ram that often butted him, he was almost stunned.
He frantically searched, only to see the creature behind the flock, struggling hard to stand up, its four hooves constantly trembling, unable to get up.
Its gaze towards Yu Yuan now seemed much clearer.
Seeing this fellow was still there, Yu Yuan's tense heart finally relaxed.
"Seems you've been quite diligent these past two days!"
Just like that, half an hour quickly passed.
When Yu Yuan pushed open the shelter's security door again, although the outside appeared unchanged, the interior had undergone a dramatic transformation.
The first floor had become much more spacious. Yu Yuan entered the shelter and checked the [Warehouse] and [Indoor Shooting Range] in turn, finding no changes.
The [Treadmill Generator Room] was still undergoing its upgrade and enhancement...
Next to the [Warehouse] was still that [Escape Door] connecting to the [Starry Sky Observatory].
Opposite the door of the [Indoor Shooting Range], a staircase leading to the second underground level had appeared.
The second underground level was now a large 400㎡ space.
Yu Yuan opened the Virtual Light Screen and directly selected to build the [Spiritual Creature Laboratory].
A floor plan of the second level appeared on the Virtual Light Screen. After Yu Yuan selected the construction location for the [Spiritual Creature Laboratory], that area was immediately enveloped by a green light screen.
Construction time: 20 hours.
It would be tomorrow afternoon once built, but it was all worth it.
Next was the third-level space.
The previous Rest Area, Kitchen, Bathroom, Water Collector, Workbench, Magazine Display Stand, and other facilities had all been relocated here.
There were quite a few things, but compared to the 200-square-meter space, there was still plenty of room for growth.
Yu Yuan also moved Mie Mie's rest area and feeding area down here.
On the fourth level, the Mudiz Water-Jet Turtle Incubation Nest, green algae cultivation tank, Hydroponic Planting Racks, and mealworm breeding boxes were already neatly arranged.
He just needed to build the [Mammal Breeding Room] to migrate those few Cree Mountain sheep here for rearing.
Yu Yuan checked the construction requirements; they were simple, needing only some cement, steel, stones, gravel, and hay to build.
He immediately chose to build it. Construction time required 3 hours.
Yu Yuan busied himself on the 4th level for a while longer. He also moved the [Crazy Planting Trough] from the Starry Sky Observatory down here. The weather had become increasingly unstable lately, so keeping it indoors was more secure.
For this, he installed the previously made, idle full-spectrum lighting lamp above the planting trough to provide its light requirements.
By the time he finished these tasks, the [Treadmill Generator Room] on the 1st level had also completed its enhancement and upgrade.
Although the name remained unchanged, its functional effects had been enhanced by more than a little.
[Generator Level 3 – Treadmill Generator Room (Epic)]
Functions:
① Energy +16, maximum power generation 15kwh/hour, maximum power storage 800kwh.
② When power reserves reach maximum storage capacity, all reserve power will be cleared to condense into one [Super Energy-Gathering Ring] energy battery. This battery is compatible with any electrical facility or equipment, providing them with energy.
③ The Generator Room is compatible with modifications combining other facilities (voltage, circuits, wire ampacity).
Yu Yuan looked at the generator room's information description, his focus particularly on the second point.
He suddenly felt that his choice to enhance and upgrade the [Treadmill Generator Room] this time had, by a stroke of luck, unlocked a rather formidable function!
An 800kwh energy battery, compatible with any electrical facility and replaceable at any time—this kind of black-tech product.
How significant its meaning was, needed no further explanation.
"It seems... I've completely solved the energy problem," Yu Yuan murmured.
The Wasteland Battle Royale truly lived up to being an activity with an extremely high material evaluation. Just one Epic-grade enhancement upgrade scroll had completely solved Yu Yuan's most worrisome energy problem during the cold wave.
He looked at the generator room, which had expanded several times in area. The original three treadmill generators had also become eight, each treadmill installed with shock absorbers underneath.
The previous new energy battery had also become a battery bank, giving Yu Yuan a somewhat cyberpunk vibe.
There was even a dedicated power distribution cabinet, isolation net, automatic transfer switch, and heat sink.
The walls, floor, and door had also received soundproofing and shockproofing treatment.
He understood that the current generator room could no longer be defined by any knowledge within his cognition.
Or rather, the power of facilities at Epic grade and above had already exceeded his understanding.
The value of that [Facility Enhancement Upgrade Scroll] was still rising.
Looking at the eight treadmills in the room, Mie Mie was the first to be unable to suppress its curiosity. It walked onto a treadmill and directly started running.
Watching Mie Mie running contentedly, a bold idea flashed through Yu Yuan's mind.
"Perhaps I can recreate that classic scenario! If it really works, electrical energy will be the resource I'll least lack in the future!"
"But if so, the Containment Room and High-Voltage Electric Cage need to be completed today."
Yu Yuan immediately opened the [Shelter Resource Management Log] and the [Shelter Facility Management Log].
"If I use the cement and steel to build the [Containment Room] today, then the Pit Trap can't be built... So be it!"
Yu Yuan quickly made a decision. The Pit Trap wasn't urgent; delaying it a day or two didn't matter.
Building the [Containment Room] required Level 4 [Walls], Level 4 [Security], and Level 2 [Generator]—conditions Yu Yuan already met.
He directly began building the [Containment Room] next to the generator room. Construction time: 8 hours.
Then he opened the Taotao Hole and began seeking to purchase cement, steel, stones, and other construction materials, offering a price slightly above the normal rate.
That was sufficient.
He also specifically sought to purchase a special piece of equipment—a gas mask—it just depended on luck.
As for the last few pieces of equipment he had listed on the Auction House, because the prices were on the lower side, they had all been sold out during the period he was expanding his shelter.
He gained another 260,000 survival points.
Money coming this fast exceeded Yu Yuan's imagination.
Truly, the bolder one is, the greater the yield.
If he hadn't entered the Wasteland Trial, such huge gains would have been impossible.
However, it was only because Yu Yuan had the Rabbit Ring and Fate Cards; otherwise, everything would have been hard to say.
But Yu Yuan was result-oriented; he only valued the outcome.
The rest... wasn't important.
"The Wasteland Battle Royale is a good place! I need to go in several more times during these five days."
Looking at the [Containment Room] under construction, Yu Yuan made up his mind.
