Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 3 Activating Black Technology
"System prompt: Activating the black technology module program, please wait..."

At this moment, Chen Xuan's eyes were closed tightly, and he was sitting cross-legged in the rescue cabin, submerged in water below his waist.The rapid rise and fall of his chest indicated that the inside of his body was not so peaceful.

There are faintly colorful streamers under the skin, swaying round and round like water waves.

The sun in the distance has fully risen, faint clouds are outlined in the sky, and the sun is falling, covering everything with a golden yellow.

But Chen Xuan couldn't feel it at all.

After expanding the panel and choosing to activate the [Black Technology Module], he instantly lost control of his body and all perception of the outside world as the system beeped.

At the same time, a huge light curtain suddenly appeared in the stream of consciousness, and a large amount of information flashed rapidly on it.

One after another, strange and complicated symbols shining with silver-gray light spread out in consciousness like exploding planets.

It feels like unzipping a file in your brain.

Chen Xuan is a little worried. After activating the system, will he still be a human being? Can he still maintain the appearance of a normal human being?

A life form that won't become light.

Seems pretty cool too.

I don't know how long this process lasted, he just felt dizzy and his brain was like a fully inflated balloon.

Finally, the system sent a prompt:

"The black technology module function has been activated successfully! Turn on the material collection function, and you can automatically search for materials that can be collected in the environment. The search range and single collection unit have an upper limit, which can be expanded as the character's [Spirit] improves."

Consciousness took over the body again, Chen Xuan slowly opened his eyes, tried hard to recover from the feeling of dizziness and discomfort, and experienced the changes brought about by the activation of the [Black Technology Module].

The first thing to do is take a look at your face.

Chen Xuan wanted to stick his face to the surface of the water, carefully inspected the left and right sides, and then fiddled with his body, finally let out a long sigh.

Fortunately, he was still that handsome young man.

Chen Xuan's anxious heart fell back into his stomach. He still felt that it was better to be a human being.

The change was mainly on the other hand, Chen Xuan looked around with strange eyes.

It's all a little bit different.

Or it should be said that he has a special perception, and now he has a more obvious three-dimensional feeling for some objects within about one meter of his body.

Chen Xuan closed his eyes, as if he had a radar sensor, he could still clearly detect some things around him.

It was a colorless world, and everything within it had unique energy fluctuations.

The rescue capsule below him had a very strong energy display, but it was gradually weakening, and there were energy fluctuations from leaves and various wooden products not far away.

It was all he could feel right now.

This situation reminded him of an old movie about the virtual world. In the third part of the movie, the hero who is the savior can continue to see the world as if he had a mind after he lost his eyesight.

With a thought in Chen Xuan's mind, a piece of broken wood under his feet suddenly disappeared without a sound. In such an environment like a marine garbage dump, it is impossible to notice without paying attention.

Then, a regular and square wooden board appeared in its original position.

This is the system's ability to collect materials. He can absorb the available materials and store them in the system space with his thoughts.

It can also be released at any time, and simple deformation can be performed when releasing, such as becoming a sphere, a cube, and so on.

He can clearly feel the materials in the system space. All types have independent spaces and do not affect each other.

With his mind fully released, he saw the objects floating on the sea within about 1 meter around Chen Xuan quickly disappearing one after another.

After collecting all of them, he got a total of 2 units of 'timber' and 5 units of 'plant fiber'.

The "wood" is absorbed by those broken boards, and the "plant fiber" is provided by some leaves.

This material collection function is very practical.

Well, very environmentally friendly.

Chen Xuan nodded.

If I return to the city, I must do garbage sorting and recycling related work to contribute to the country and society.

And imagining the spectacular scene of sweeping everything within a radius of tens of meters in the future, Chen Xuan felt a burst of enthusiasm.

There is one more way to make a fortune.

But at present, the collection range is only about one meter.

What is this concept?It was a little longer than his own hand.

If it was on land, it would not have much impact, as long as you ran to the materials by yourself, but now you are at sea, the restrictions are too great, and you can't swim every time to collect materials.

In addition, according to the system description, there is an upper limit for a single collection.
In other words, the objects he absorbs each time cannot be too large, and objects that exceed the size limit cannot be absorbed.

And this size is determined by the system, and he doesn't know where the limit of this size is for the time being.

There is also the "collectable materials in the environment" in the system description, which is also worth pondering.

What counts as collectible materials?
At least the seawater under your feet can't be absorbed, otherwise all the problems in front of you will be solved.

Chen Xuan's dream of moving mountains to fill the sea was shattered.

It seems that only things that are sensed in the radar field of view can be collected.

And if you want to expand the collection range and the limit of object size, you need to improve the [spirit] attribute, but how to improve it?

Another thing to worry about, Chen Xuan sighed softly while touching his forehead.

Regardless of other things, Chen Xuan looked forward to launching the activated [Black Technology Module] part, which is what he cares most about right now.

[Black Technology Module] (Current Tier [-], Tier [-] unlocking conditions: ???)

"Flame Throwing Module": hold it and you have fire.Activation requirements: 1 unit of wood, 1 unit of oily material, 1 unit of plant fiber.

"Rope telescopic module": Make ropes as long or as thick as you like.Activation requirements: 2 units of plant fiber.

"Movable Type Illustrated Book Module": the crystallization of wisdom, the cornerstone of civilization.Activation requirements: 10 units of plant fiber, 10 units of gel, and 10 units of metal.

【Current resources】：
"Wood": base material.Current Quantity: 3 units.

"Plant fiber": basic material.Current Quantity: 5 units.

There are no cool and hardcore props as expected.

A big gift package for newcomers without activation.

There is no technology related to ships.

There are only three seemingly simple technologies with very simple explanations.

And with the current materials, except for the "rope telescopic module", nothing else can be made.

The expression on Chen Xuan's face became ugly.He rubbed his eyebrows vigorously.

Sure enough, the novels are all lies, and everything still depends on my hardworking hands.

Right now, there is only one last way left for Chen Xuan, which is to assemble a boat by himself.

Fortunately, I still have a "manual expert module".

"Handmade expert module": Items made by hand can be optimized and corrected by the system, and materials are consumed.

With this expertise, he only needs to build a simple model and then make system corrections to get a vehicle that can be used in the water.

It is definitely unrealistic to directly build a boat right now, and the materials and time are not enough, but it is barely possible to change the way of thinking and build a simple raft.

Chen Xuan looked at the countdown to the disappearance of the rescue capsule.

1: 15.

Do it without delay.

So, what are the steps to build a raft?
