Lu Yuan directly chose the Novice Special Offer Supply Pack.
Although he didn't know what was inside, at a price of just 2 points, it was clearly a worthwhile purchase.
【Congratulations on obtaining items: one Handheld Material Scanner Model 2950; one 3D Printer Model 2839; three Player Hibernation Pods】
Accompanied by a blue light, a device resembling an oversized handgun appeared on the cup holder to the right of the main driver's seat.
Is this the scanner?
Lu Yuan picked it up, examined it for a moment, and an idea surfaced in his mind.
As long as he used the scanner to scan the engine, obtain the engineering blueprint, and then used the 3D printer to fabricate the damaged parts for replacement, there should be a way to repair the engine and get the aerospace plane flying!
【The 3D Printer and Player Hibernation Pods are large. Do you need them transported to the cargo bay?】
"Of course, transport them!"
After giving the command to the system, Lu Yuan went to the cargo bay and saw the high-tech equipment that had been transported.
Three Player Hibernation Pods were lined up against the wall in the cargo bay.
They were creations born from the pinnacle of human technology before the catastrophe, capable of quickly replicating human bodies, then summoning mental consciousness entities from parallel universes to log in online, creating adorable little players.
After arriving in this world, players will automatically join Cangyuan Future Technology and become good employees under the Executive Officer.
At that time, the vast cosmic development will be packaged as a relaxed, casual, yet hardcore open-world full-simulation online game.
Players will receive various missions in the game, and under the temptation of abundant mission rewards, they will contribute to the great human revival plan.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is to make the game exciting and fun enough.
Although Lu Yuan had never worked as a game designer, he was a veteran player and had already accumulated a wealth of ideas in his mind.
For him, this job had a certain degree of challenge, but it wasn't difficult!
"Alright, let's begin!"
On the other side of the cargo bay, the massive 3D Printer Model 2839 was placed.
Its main body consisted of two rectangular boxes, one used for breaking down and storing raw materials, and the other for printing finished products.
The machine had an operating panel. Lu Yuan activated it and first read the user manual.
According to the manual, this machine could print industrial manufactured goods at the atomic level.
Raw materials required no pre-processing; as long as they were placed in the material box, the printer would consume electricity and automatically break them down into elements or small molecular compounds for subsequent item fabrication.
Furthermore, the printer was connected to the three Player Hibernation Pods via pipes and could also provide organic raw materials for the players' clones.
Lu Yuan decided to first gather the materials for the first batch of three player clones.
Afterward, while waiting for the hibernation pods to shape the clones, he would lay the groundwork for the game's mechanics.
Once more personnel were available, the subsequent aerospace plane repair work and camp construction work would undoubtedly be easier.
To "fabricate" a human body, a large amount of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen elements are required, along with small amounts of phosphorus, sulfur, calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, and chlorine elements, as well as over a dozen other trace elements.
Hydrogen and oxygen elements among these could be quickly obtained from the 500 liters of domestic water carried by the aerospace plane, while nitrogen element could be directly obtained from the air.
The interior of the aerospace plane used a considerable amount of paneling, most of which were carbon-containing polymers. After being dismantled and put into the 3D printer, the source of carbon element could also be resolved.
As for the iron element in red blood cells, a single nut would be more than enough.
However, the remaining trace elements were a bit difficult.
"The best source for these trace elements is other carbon-based life forms..."
Lu Yuan muttered to himself.
It seems a hunt is unavoidable.
The question is, is there still life on this planet?
This question could be answered immediately, as the environmental survey drone had returned a few minutes ago.
In the past 24 hours, it had roughly explored the surrounding 100 square kilometers of land.
The results showed that the atmospheric composition was non-toxic, there were no unknown microorganisms, and the oxygen content was highly similar to that of Earth, allowing for free breathing.
The planet's gravity was 0.95 times Earth's gravity, and a day also had 24 hours.
The area near the crash site was a Gobi Desert, and geological samples revealed over a dozen types of bacteria originating from Earth.
This sign indicated that the planet had once been colonized and developed by humans, but in the subsequent years, it had experienced a global ecological collapse, likely due to war.
"Could it have been a nuclear war?"
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan brought up the appearance of the planet captured by the external cameras before the aerospace plane entered the atmosphere.
The images showed that most areas on the planet, whether mountains or plains, were covered in a pale yellowish-green glassy substance.
The Desert where he had crash-landed was one of the very few areas not covered by the glassy substance.
The entire planetary surface had been burned into glass!
This indicated that over 95% of the planet's land had been scorched by temperatures exceeding 3000 degrees for a prolonged period, causing the soil and rocks to completely melt, ultimately turning into lifeless, vitrified wasteland!
Based on Lu Yuan's knowledge, this was likely the result of massive warships using ultra-high-power plasma weapons for sustained bombardment from outer space.
This "Li Star" was a former interstellar battlefield!
Compared to the environmental damage of turning the entire planet into glass, nuclear bombing could even be considered mild.
"It's hard to imagine what kind of catastrophe humanity faced at the end of the previous civilization..."
Lu Yuan composed himself and refocused his attention on the investigation results.
Joyfully, despite such harsh conditions, life had found a way. Traces of higher animals were discovered in the Desert, not far from the crash site, about 3 kilometers to the north!
After confirming this, Lu Yuan looked at the off-white all-weather combat suit in the armory station.
The combat suit's outer layer was made of high-performance bulletproof material, providing a certain degree of defense against both melee and ranged attacks, and was also radiation-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
Even if he were accidentally caught by a predatory beast, it could provide relatively reliable protection, preventing instant death under fangs and claws.
It was still early before sunset, so there was plenty of time.
As long as he hunted about 200 kilograms of biomass, it would be enough to fabricate the bodies for three players!
After confirming he would go hunting, Lu Yuan put on the combat suit, transferred the map data from the drone to his portable pad, and finally took the "Striker" automatic rifle along with five magazines.
Opening the decompression hatch, he walked down the gangway and stepped onto the scorching surface of Li Star.
The temperature outside was as high as 48 degrees Celsius. Dune after dune stretched all the way to the horizon, interspersed with oddly shaped rock mountains and wind-eroded towers.
What a magnificent and barren landscape.
The combat suit featured a sealed design with a built-in microclimate control function. As long as the external climate wasn't too extreme, it could maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity.
Guided by the electronic map, Lu Yuan quickly reached the location where the "prey" had appeared and found the alien organism that would soon become raw material for the player clones.
