At this time, the metal ball rolled again, projecting some pictures in the air. These pictures were not translated, but there was no need for translation. The content was very straightforward.
This content shows the scene at the beginning of the construction of the base. At that time, the planet's surface environment was not covered with trees like it is now. Instead, it was full of yellow sand. It was difficult to see green or signs of life.
The people on the exploration team wear full-body protective suits to direct the robots to work. They cannot breathe the air here directly.
Li Sa noticed that these people had a kind-like metal thing near the left brain. This position is basically consistent with the gap in the head on the skeletal remains today. Does this mean that their skulls have indeed been modified?
Two-thirds of the base in the picture is located above the ground, divided into several floors, and has good lighting. The area where Li Sa and the others saw the sleeping cabins was the lowest space. Where have all the rooms above gone?
There are ecological culture bases in those places, which should be the places where the plant samples brought by the exploration team are grown. There are also many devices, some of which seem to be energy supply, some to regulate air temperature and humidity, and some to synthesize food. They don't use the normal way of eating, but put raw materials into a certain device, and finally produce things like nutrient solution as their daily dietary needs.
These devices are allocated in different spaces.
Li Sa focused on the areas adjacent to the area where the sleeping cabins were placed. There are many such metal balls in one area. Compared with the height of human beings, the size of the metal balls is obviously much larger than the one in front of you. The spheres were squatting on a blanket. It was unknown what material they were made of, but it looked like the spheres were staying there to recharge.
There is a tree-like structure in the middle surrounded by the sphere, which is covered in a cylindrical transparent structure. It looks like the kind of tank that holds jellyfish in an aquarium, except that instead of jellyfish, it looks more like a motionless coral tree.
The tree is colorful and glowing, as if it is alive. There are so many metal balls surrounding the arch guard, and they usually take turns to rest here, which shows that this thing is very important.
Li Sa speculated that this might be the energy supply side of the device, or it might be some kind of "cloud" server. She asked: "Is the transparent cylinder a server? A knowledge base? An information cluster?"
After trying various words with similar meanings, the metal ball spoke again: "Yes, the knowledge tree. The exploration team will carry it, the knowledge we need can be downloaded from it, and the newly collected knowledge can be uploaded. There is something strange in my mind , it is forced downloaded from there, so there is confusion."
"Did the consciousness of the exploration team uploaded and was downloaded by you?" Li Sa asked further.
The metal ball said: "I don't know. But the knowledge tree has been damaged for hundreds of years. Flying monsters have invaded, and some of them can access the knowledge tree."
Li Sa was shocked: "Are the flying monsters you mentioned local monsters that only appear during the extreme night period?"
"Yes."
"Can they access the Knowledge Tree?"
The metal ball replied: "A few of them can, and their brains are also embedded with very primitive access devices."
"So before you arrived, there were other exploration ships that came?"
"No."
The metal ball couldn't explain why, but Li Sa's heartbeat accelerated. If the players were transported to the era before the exploration team arrived, the entire planet would be desolate and lifeless. Players do not have the ability to transform the planet on a large scale. They only survive to complete tasks, and may also use local native creatures.
If there are corresponding props given to players, there is nothing wrong with transforming flying monsters and installing "brain-computer interfaces" on them for domestication and control.
Li Sa's system pushed a new mission: [The host triggers the hidden conditions and unlocks the S-level series of missions. This mission has two development directions. Please choose one of the hosts to advance. 】
1. Make reasonable use of existing resource conditions and regional tasks to eliminate as many other players as possible. When the world is settled, if the number of players whose deaths are strongly related to the host accounts for more than 50% of all players, the camp switching task can be started.
2. Make reasonable use of existing resource conditions and regional tasks to rescue more players. When settling in this world, if the player's clearance rate exceeds 10%, they will receive additional points and lottery opportunities (the number of reward points is linked to the clearance rate).
Note: The tasks in the two directions are not compatible. Once the direction is selected, it cannot be changed in this world.
Li Sa chose the second direction without hesitation.
After all, the external environment is too complex. Even if she deliberately harms others, she may kill other players first because of insect beasts, cooling, polar night, and flying monsters. In the end, if the settlement ratio is less than 50%, it means that the work is in vain, and everything is in vain.
As for the second direction, you may have the opportunity to get extra points and lottery opportunities. You can also get points for saving others, and your moral sense will be easier to accept.
Unless you are someone who has always wanted to switch camps, or someone like Madman Zhao who is likely to have other more ambitious ideals, you will choose 1. Li Sa didn't think he was that extreme person. He just wanted to live a more comfortable life in a world of natural disasters with less pressure. Then he would go the route of rescuing people. At worst, he wouldn't be able to finish it, and there would be no loss.
Immediately afterwards, the system pushed the first task in this direction: [Repair the interstellar liaison device (this prop can be carried to other worlds after identification). 100 points will be awarded for completing the task. If you share the task, the reward points will be divided equally in whole numbers. 】
Although I don’t know where this thing is or how to use it, I feel like it might be useful just by looking at the name. Li Sa still remembered a concept that Dr. Yao mentioned at that time. If they were to be dispersed to different worlds in the future, what equipment could be used to achieve some kind of communication?
The appearance of this prop gave Li Sa more room for association. Perhaps accessories that meet Dr. Yao's needs can be purchased in the system mall.
The content refreshed in each person's system mall is different. What you think is unimportant may be something that others can only dream of and cannot refresh.
"Can you control yourself from attacking us?" Li Sa asked seriously.
The metal ball said: "Okay, my size has been reduced by one-third. I must maintain energy to delay death."
Li Tianya asked curiously: "Do you also have the concept of death?"
The metal ball said: "One day, I suddenly understood the meaning of this word."
"We need a safe and warm place to rest. Can you take us there?" Fan Gang saw that the ball had been docile, and naturally he didn't want to stay in this narrow passage.
Wan Youfa did the same. He noticed that the water seepage in the surrounding area was getting more and more serious. It was probably because the external temperature changed too much, causing some kind of thermal expansion and contraction, creating an unbalanced force. If the rock wall fails and the hot spring water pours into their space, they will definitely be submerged.
The metal ball said: "Please follow me, there is an undamaged space above the sleeping cabin."
Second update of double update
