Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

Chapter 279 The Cat Village Chief's Reward

How to face death is the ultimate question that many lives must confront.

It is human nature to not want to die, to want to overcome death, and to continue living.

Some people choose to overcome physical death and seek ways to achieve immortality.

Many of the Skyfire Beastmen chose the blessing of the demigods. They drank the god's extraordinary essence, evolving themselves from flesh and blood into bodies of steel.

In this way, they transformed from phantoms destined for destruction into new life.

In order to allow this fragment of the world to survive, they chose to continue to provoke the fragment of the demigod, even at the cost of turning the entire world into such a purgatory.

All they wanted was to survive until the next wave of players arrived, seize their vehicles, and escape this doomed world.

Of course, among the Skyfire Beastmen, there are also some who accept death with equanimity.

The old village chief said, "We are all dead, so we shouldn't interfere with the living."

"Because of our differing ideologies, we left the capital and began a secluded life."

After listening to their history, Zuli asked, puzzled, "Then why did you save us?"

The old village chief chuckled, "It's so you can take some documents with you."

The old village chief waved his hand, and a man stepped out from the crowd, carrying a huge box. "This contains various materials about our civilization. We've heard that the Eternal Game is very cruel, with a high mortality rate. We hope you can bring our civilization's materials to our surviving people."

"When everyone is chosen by the Eternal Game, they will not have the opportunity to take away any documents. The world will be lost, and many meaningful things will be unable to be passed down."

"We hope that the Skyfire Beastmen who have gone to other worlds will still be Skyfire Beastmen."

Su Li was somewhat moved.

This is a problem that many civilizations in the game of Eternity need to face.

Take the Blue Star civilization as an example. Many scholars were old and in poor health, and many were eliminated in the first world. With so much knowledge and literature, it's unrealistic to rely solely on human memory to copy it. In addition, the civilization's heritage was divided up, and the transmission of many things was interrupted.

“Okay, we accept your request.” Su Li nodded.

This information is definitely valuable to the Blue Star civilization. What he needs to consider is whether this old man is lying to him, and whether there are some transmitters or something hidden inside that will attract players from the Skyfire Beast Clan to attack Blue Star City.

Su Li had a plan in mind. He would send the message to the Blue Star government later so that they could prepare to receive it. The Blue Star government was known for its many strange and unusual methods.

The old village chief was immediately overjoyed. "That's wonderful. Son, give the things to them."

Su Li took the large box from a cat-man. Upon opening it, she found that the contents resembled a hard drive.

He doesn't quite understand it. He'll send it over later and let the Blue Star government decipher it.

After finishing their business, the old cat-man continued, "Next, you can rest here for a while. We also know about the beast tide. Apart from the fire-riding horses you brought, there are only some weak monsters around here. It will be easy to get through the beast tide."

“Then we’ll rest here for now,” Su Li nodded.

Village Chief Lao Mao was aware of Su Li and his group's concerns, so he didn't invite them into the village again. He simply brought them some local delicacies and survival supplies.

Food was just a bonus; the real treat was the survival supplies they provided. Su Liming understood—this was their reward.

First, there were large quantities of metal ores.

The old village chief explained, "At first, we didn't feel anything. It wasn't until that player pointed out the game's flaws that we realized that, without knowing when it started, we could only find these few kinds of resources. The ores we used to use were no longer available. This is one of the reasons why we believe that this world has been gamified."

"Platinum and titanium only started appearing last year. We believe they are more useful materials, so after discovering them, we mainly collected these two items."

"We can sense that these crystals and gems contain pure magical energy. We don't need them, but we've been collecting them because we can trade them with other players."

Then, the old village chief took out several blueprints.

"These are some hand-drawn process diagrams for our recipes. I don't know if they'll be of any help."

Su Li took the blueprints. After the system checked them, they surprisingly passed the evaluation and were deemed usable.

Lava Generation Agent

[Iron Grade]

[Effect: After being thrown, it can temporarily transform the ground within a 3-meter radius into lava.]

[Fire Element Dispersing Medicine]

[Iron Grade]

[Effect: After consumption, it will slowly reduce the progress of fire elemental erosion.]

[Temperature-extinguishing bomb]

[Iron Grade]

[When a shell hits a target, it absorbs a large amount of heat energy, thus cooling the target.]

Lava Cannon

[Iron Grade]

[It can be used to build lava cannons, which can be mounted on trains.]

【Boiling Fire Essential Oil】

[Iron Grade]

This can temporarily enchant equipment, but only applies to damage dealt directly from weapons.

High-temperature resistant composite steel

Trains can be modified at the factory, and high-temperature resistance can be added to the trains.

Heavy-duty smelting furnace

[Consumes coke, enhancing the efficiency and speed of ore extraction.]

Su Li was overjoyed. Each and every one of these things was incredibly useful. Su Li learned them all.

The Lava-Generating Potion consists of magma and several complementary ingredients. The complex fire element extracted from the presentation is concentrated in a special bottle. When thrown, the complex fire element melts the ground, forming a pool of lava. This potion can help Zuli broaden his horizons; once thoroughly researched, Zuli can develop other types of potions.

The fire element-clearing potion is another approach to resolving elemental erosion. Currently, Song Mingyu's solution to fire elemental erosion is a symptomatic treatment, using opposing elements to neutralize the fire element within her body. This potion's idea is to disrupt the cohesion of external elements within the body, causing them to naturally dissipate and be expelled by the body's magical energy.

The lava cannon is a vehicle-mounted weapon. Currently, there are only two ways to make one: either by crafting it yourself using your knowledge, or by obtaining the corresponding blueprints. Factories do not provide this type of modification.

Otherwise, Zuli would have already installed a turret on his vehicle. Having a turret would be so much more comfortable; why would Sofia have to go and painstakingly pull the trigger?

Temperature-extinguishing shells are artillery shells, and are basically only used on railway guns. Of course, there are also some handheld cannons, which involves the issue of size and model.

Boiling Fire Oil, a tool known as Sword Oil. Zuli has always wanted to learn about this. Now the opportunity has finally arrived.

High-temperature resistant composite steel is a type of material known as special materials.

Su Li had heard a joke before, about a warship that fell into a magical lake, where a lake fairy appeared and asked, "Do you want the golden warship? Or this silver one?"

The captain said, "I want my steel warship."

The fairy was very satisfied, and then gave the captain both the gold and silver warships. The captain cried like a child on the shore, "Give me back my steel warship! These two are worthless!"

Many special materials have extremely high performance.

The Blue Star civilization also has many recipes for special materials, but unfortunately, due to the limitations of the game, many of these materials are simply unavailable.

With the availability of special materials, the factory can add a new option—vehicle modification, which allows the vehicle's outer skin to be replaced with special materials to enhance its performance.

The heavy-duty smelting furnace is an advanced smelting furnace. Currently, the smelting furnace used by Zu Li and his team has a very slow smelting speed for titanium and platinum ingots, producing one ingot every 12 hours, and the efficiency is also low. The smelting efficiency for titanium ingots is 3 ore to 1 titanium ingot.

With this new smelting furnace, the speed can be increased to one piece per hour, and the efficiency has been restored to 2 ore to 1 titanium ingot.

Zurich's titanium ore shortage has suddenly decreased by a third; it's insane.
