Chapter 100: Constructing the Escape Pod

Page 1/3

The recorded text made Qin Fei feel uneasy. Judging from the mutated great white shark and the log left by the crew of the healer shipwreck, the Kara virus seemed to be far more complex than simply causing death...

Apart from this data module, there was nothing else in the escape pod worth taking.

After retrieving the tablet, Qin Fei left the pod... but he hadn’t swum far when something occurred to him. He turned back and returned to the escape pod.

He took out a scanner from his backpack and began scanning the entire hull of the escape pod.

[Scanning Altra Corporation Escape Pod...]

[Skill acquired: Altra Escape Pod Manufacturing Technology!]

Just as expected.

Delighted to have obtained the blueprint for the escape pod, Qin Fei’s spirits lifted.

However, after completing the scan, he didn’t leave immediately.

To manufacture an escape pod, a large quantity of materials was necessary, and this abandoned pod was the best source he could find for now.

Qin Fei stood on the ocean floor, placing both hands under the escape pod and tried to lift it.

But the pod didn’t budge.

An average adult could carry about 50 kilograms at most.

The weight of an escape pod was usually measured in tons.

Even with his strength, six times that of an ordinary person, Qin Fei could only lift about 300 kilograms. This was nowhere near enough to move the pod.

Of course, if Qin Fei activated his full-powered Tech Armor, he could forcibly carry the pod back to shallow waters.

The Tech Armor had tremendous kinetic energy; when flying with it, the wearer could ignore the weight of their backpack.

But that would cause his Tech energy consumption to multiply.

Therefore, using the Tech Armor to transport heavy objects was not a wise choice.

It was better not to carry it at all.

Qin Fei decided to use the Tech Replicator to recreate the abandoned escape pod right here in the seaweed forest.

As for the shelter not being buildable in shallow waters, that wasn’t a significant concern.

Qin Fei took out the Tech Replicator and stored the escape pod into his backpack.

Though it would overload his backpack, he could still carry it.

According to the diamond crystal’s weight settings, the survivor’s backpack had infinite storage capacity.

However, if the weight exceeded the limit, the survivor’s movement speed would be drastically reduced; excessive weight could even render them immobile.

Activating the Tech Replicator, Qin Fei placed the escape pod inside.

But since the abandoned pod had been damaged, the materials reclaimed from it were insufficient to build a new one.

Additional titanium metal was needed.

The ocean of planet 4546B contained an astonishing amount of titanium, mostly distributed in the shallow seas.

Qin Fei had already collected plenty over the past two days.

After adding the titanium to the replicator, the escape pod was finally produced.

[Altra Tech Escape Pod: Constructed primarily from titanium metal, this escape vehicle is sturdy and durable. It features radio wave equipment, a medical kit, and a 3D printer (workbench) inside.]

Qin Fei waved his hand and tossed the pod from his backpack.

Thanks to the inflatable side airbags, the pod quickly floated to the surface.

Qin Fei swam up, climbed the ladder, and entered the escape pod.

[Dear survivor, you have obtained an escape vehicle manufactured by Altra Technology Corporation.]

[Blueprint unlocked: Standard Oxygen Tank / High-Capacity Oxygen Tank]

[Blueprint unlocked: Fins]

[Blueprint unlocked: Fully Automatic Welder, Waterproof Flashlight, Scanner]

[Blueprint unlocked: Solar Panels]

A series of notifications overwhelmed Qin Fei for a moment.

Most of these blueprints were for underwater equipment, which was extremely useful to him now.

The internal space of the pod was small, about 3 to 4 square meters.

Besides a radio wave receiver on the wall, there was a medical kit, a storage cabinet, and three solar panels.

The escape pod relied entirely on solar power as its energy source.

Using solar energy and water, the medical kit inside could continuously produce first aid kits.

Qin Fei took a first aid kit from the medical kit.

[First Aid Kit: A medical pack made using water molecules and solar energy, used for stopping bleeding and disinfecting wounds.]

After removing the kit, a 1% indicator appeared on the medical kit’s lid.

This meant it was recharging.

When the indicator reached 100%, another medical kit would be produced.

With the escape pod, Qin Fei’s safety was greatly assured.

Constructed from titanium, the pod’s shell was very sturdy. He no longer had to worry about attacks from the mutated great white shark while resting.

Over the next few days, Qin Fei began to frantically gather resources nearby.

Using the Tech Replicator, he extracted large amounts of silicone from seaweed seeds in the forest and crafted a new pair of fins.

[Modern Ergonomic Fins: Convert vertical leg motion into underwater propulsion, increasing swimming speed by 15%.]

In addition, Qin Fei produced a high-capacity oxygen tank, waterproof flashlight, and automatic welder.

[High-Capacity Oxygen Tank: A high-pressure compressed breathable air tank that automatically recharges when surfaced.]

With the oxygen tank and ergonomic fins, Qin Fei’s dependency on Tech equipment underwater lessened.

He planned to minimize his use of Tech elements, reserving the Tech gear for the most critical moments.

Collecting materials and crafting these underwater tools took Qin Fei nearly three days.

[Kara Virus Decomposition Countdown: 55 Days]

During these three days, aside from making essential diving gear, the radio receiver inside his escape pod picked up a signal about 863 meters away.

The signal originated from the northwest.

This meant that to reach the radio source, Qin Fei would have to pass through a shark-infested water zone.
