Chapter 6 People Take Food As Their Heaven
Chu Jungui himself was not far from the rescue capsule, and he quickly arrived at the rescue capsule. He opened the cover of the rescue capsule, pulled off the emergency breathing mask, and began to inhale oxygen. After about a few minutes, he put down his breathing mask, coughed hard, and finally spit out a pool of yellow-green water. Knowing how to remove harmful substances from the lungs is an ability that every human who has completed basic survival training can have. The only difference is the extent of cleaning.
Of course, like Chu Jungui, who can remove all the sulfur-containing harmful substances in one breath, it is not something that basic survival training can achieve, and even advanced survival training is impossible. After cleaning up his body, Chu Jungui thought for a while, he still found a breathing mask, just took off the oxygen supply part and put it on his face. Although the mask cannot supply oxygen, it has a filtering function that can filter out most of the harmful substances in the air. In this way, Chu Jungui's time to leave the rescue capsule will be longer, at least for about half a day, before he needs to return to replace the filter. It's just that there are still two filters in stock, and then it will be out of stock.
Chu Jungui started the printer again, placed all the remaining metal rods and carbon rods, and then selected the primary refiner on the blueprint. But the screen showed that there was not enough material to print the entire refiner. However, this is not difficult for Chu Jungui. Having mastered the complete basic survival skill system, he knows the structure of the refiner very well. He simply activated the advanced editing function of the printer, modified the blueprint of the refiner, removed the funnel and crushing device at the inlet, and also removed the molding part of the outlet. In this way, only the core components of the primary refiner are left, and the materials used are greatly reduced.
The printer started up again, and a few minutes later, the core part of the refiner appeared in front of Chu Jungui. This is a machine similar to the size of an ordinary microwave oven, and the core is a multi-function material separation furnace. It is possible to switch between several modes according to the feed. Chu Jungui rushed to the woods again, cut a piece of tree trunk, took some sap with strong acid, and returned to the rescue cabin. He cut out several wooden boards from the tree wall and put them together, which were considered as feed components. A few water cups and wooden grooves were dug with a dagger as the export forming part.
As for the grinding, he simply did it by hand. He found two large stones, placed the pyrrhotite block on the big stones, and smashed it down and down. The shredded powder is then mixed with the sap and placed in the refiner. Finally insert the polymer battery as power. The refiner is a big energy consumer, and a high-energy polymer battery can only support one hour of continuous work.
Chu Jungui started the refining machine, and after a while, he received two cups of basic industrial acid, mainly sulfuric acid. After extracting the acid in the feed, he switched the mode again, and a few more metal rods, mainly iron, were added after a while. Although these metal rods were a bit rough, after Chu Jungui cut them with a dagger, they could barely be used on the printer. With materials, of course, the first thing he did was to build the feed and outlet parts of the refiner, so that he would have a complete material refiner, and he would not have to be as troublesome as it is now.
With the raw materials, the next step is to solve the problem of power source. Fortunately, when Deep Space Energy made the universal material printer, it fully considered the possibility of obtaining materials and the difficulty of processing, and also provided an ancient blueprint for lead-acid batteries. Chu Jungui already had sulfuric acid, so he only needed to find some lead to make a battery. Although lead-acid batteries are far less energy efficient than polymer batteries, the most important thing to survive on a strange planet is to solve the problem of availability first.
But since pyrrhotite has been found, it is possible to find lead. Even if there is no lead, he can build a stellar energy panel and charger first, and charge the two polymer batteries for repeated use, which is just more troublesome. It is much easier to use the star energy board. Just find some stones on the spot and throw them into the refiner, and you can get a lot of silicon and aluminum. These materials are then thrown into the printer. After a while, Chu Jungui made four pieces. Stellar energy board, and a charger. After this is done, the polymer batteries in the refiners and printers have only half of their electricity left.
"Do you want to survive even with so little supplies?" Chu Jungui couldn't help but complain in his heart. But he also knows that every gram of weight that can be carried in an escape pod is extremely valuable, and basic food and water must not be saved. Coupled with the printer itself, there is basically no excess weight quota.
At this moment, the storm has already stopped. The sun of this unknown planet hangs high in the sky. Under the sunlight, the surrounding temperature has risen to 60 degrees. Fortunately, the travel clothes worn by Chu Jungui also function as space suits to isolate the heat from the outside.
Chu Jungui spliced the stellar energy panels together, adjusted the angle so that it could receive sunlight to the maximum extent, then connected the charger, put the two polymer batteries into the charger, and went to the forest again to explore. This time, Chu Jungui went deeper and went out to explore for a few kilometers before returning. His backpack was already stuffed with all kinds of harvest, a few barely edible berries, two little beasts, and a bundle of sodium-rich plants. Then there's a barrel of sap.
But he still couldn't find a water source. In the forest, Chu Jungui used his arm shield as a shovel and dug ten meters into the ground, but no water seeped out, but the soil became a little wet. During the excavation, he found that the roots of many large trees were unexpectedly deep. This shows that the depth of the groundwater source may be far greater than expected, so he stopped digging and brought back a large bucket of sap instead.
By the time he returned to the rescue capsule, it was already getting dark. Chu Jungui leaned against the hull of the rescue cabin, built a fire pit with stones in the leeward, and started a bonfire. The climate of this planet is considered to be extreme among habitable planets. As soon as the sky darkens, the temperature begins to drop rapidly, and it is not long before there is a slight chill. But with a bonfire, you can feel a lot more at ease.
The polymer battery is fully charged, and Chu Jungui has electricity in his hand, so he doesn't panic. There is still a lot of basic metal left, so he simply printed another iron grid, one at each end, and placed it on the bonfire to become a grill. He also skinned and deboned the three small beasts he had hunted, cleaned the internal organs, and then pierced them with iron sticks and roasted them on the fire. After a while, the little beast was browned. It's just that it's not a pungent smell, but a spicy pungent smell.
Chu Jungui tried to take a bite, frowned, and almost spit it out. The meat tasted sour and astringent, with a burning sensation, which filled his mouth with burning pain. The sulfur content of this planet is unusually high, and even the branches and trees contain a lot of sulfur. This little beast is roasted on the fire, which is equivalent to smoking it with sulfur smoke. It is strange that the taste can be good.
But unpalatable is unpalatable, this meat is still edible. The scan results showed that the content of fat, water or protein was not low. As for the smoked sulfur, such a content can't help Chu Jungui's stomach. As an experimental subject, although Chu Jungui's body structure was no different from that of ordinary humans, the strength and function of each organ far surpassed that of ordinary humans.
He frowned and gulped down the roast meat. In the end, he temporarily turned off the taste function to prevent himself from spitting it out. As an experimental subject in the past, he would not vomit at all because of the unpleasant taste, and would only clean it up because of the presence of toxic substances in his stomach. Now I want to vomit, basically because of psychological factors. Emotions began to affect the body, which seemed to be a newly added weakness of Chu Jungui, and a weakness shared by all human beings.
He doesn't know if this is good or bad, but from the current perspective, it seems that human beings naturally have one or another shortcomings, and they are far less efficient and perfect than experimental subjects. A full five pounds of barbecued meat fell on Chu Jungui's stomach in a blink of an eye. The powerful stomach also provides primary compression while crushing food, so his abdomen is flat with only a little bulge.
Chu Jungui patted his stomach and could only say that he was barely half full. He needs a lot of energy to maintain the consumption of this body, and the basic daily consumption must be more than 15,000 kcal. Ordinary humans can only be compared with athletes who have received professional training, or professional fighters who have completed deep space training. He was a little annoyed. Compared with the complex and inefficient digestion process of humans, it seemed that it would be better to use external energy directly. For example, making an interface on the body and inserting a nuclear fusion battery will solve everything?
But the mechanical structure in his body is actually very little. There are only a few data ports, and a few microchips scattered throughout the body, which are considered foreign implants. In this era, all kinds of auxiliary chips have been widely popular in the middle and upper-class human society, and there are many people who can implant chips in the lower-level people. In the related chip design, manufacturing, and maintenance and update fields, several giants have been entrenched for many years, and the scale and volume are no worse than the giants such as Deep Space Energy. To a certain extent, the total number of implants in his body may not be as good as that of a low-level worker.
I don't know why the person who created him loaded him with so few implants and replaced him with powerful organs and bodies. The food problem is solved, and then there is the water. Chu Jungui used half of the power of the polymer battery as a price to decompose a barrel of sap into concentrated acid and pure water with a refiner. Although there is only a large cup of pure water separated, it solves the urgent need. It's just that it consumes a lot of energy. Chu Jungui collects solar energy for a day, but it can only charge two batteries twice.
