Wasteland for All: I Can Infinitely Upgrade My Vault

The other two items are the [Flying Technology F-500 Phased Array Radar] and the [Wanderers Alliance Star Positioning Detector].

[Flytek F-500 Phased Array Radar: Initially, Flytek's S-5000 radar was used in agriculture and forestry to detect wild boar activity. After the Red Erosion invasion, survivors in the wasteland unexpectedly discovered that this radar was exceptionally effective against Red Erosion creatures. Flytek subsequently improved and developed the F-500 radar, which effectively increases the detection range of vaults and is one of the most popular basic radars among vaults. The vault map display range is doubled, and cloaked units are displayed. For every 14.5 meters increase in radar altitude, the detection range increases by 1 kilometer, with a maximum range of 50 kilometers. (Important Note: This product is ineffective against underground targets.)]

The maximum range was only 50 kilometers because it was a small radar, about the size of a window, which could be supported by old batteries. Zhongli immediately had the radar moved to the highest point of the shelter to increase the detection range.

Even with an upgraded recycling station that can recover old batteries, keeping the radar constantly powered on is not enough to sustain the shelter.

The shelter desperately needs a generator.

But generators are something every shelter desperately needs, and it's impossible for anyone to sell them.

Zhong Li didn't have any ideas for the time being, so he looked at another item, the [Wanderers' Alliance Star Positioning Detector].

This device is much smaller, resembling a rough wasteland detector with only a display panel and a few strings of numbers. Its function is also very simple: it can locate airdrop containers within a 20-kilometer radius.

It's a gadget developed by a wasteland vagrant who drives around collecting airdrop crates.

This item is of little value to the survivors in the shelter.

But Zhongli is about to leave the shelter for the Dark Merchant's base, and that's when the value of this item becomes apparent.

If you find an airdrop crate along the way, then you've recouped your investment!

If you only rely on the naked eye, who can see the airdrop crate hidden in the yellow sand within 20 kilometers?

The more shots Zhong Li fired, the clearer his concept of distance became. Within 30 meters, he could hit exactly where he pointed; within 50 meters, he could barely maintain his shooting accuracy; and within 100 meters, it was all down to luck. On the battlefield, 200,000 bullets could not kill a single person because beyond 100 meters, the target was no bigger than a coin in sight. It all depended on suppressing fire in the direction of the sound.

Of course, this applies to elite soldiers. For ordinary guys, they should first look at what the huge words on the blackboard 5 meters away mean before they start talking.

Even if there are signal lights on the airdrop crates, it's difficult to spot them from more than 1000 meters away by sight alone.

This was an essential item for this trip, so Zhong Li put it directly into his backpack. After organizing the goods he needed to bring, he remembered that he still hadn't drawn the reward from the battle performance settlement.

However, Zhongli didn't have much hope. His performance in the last battle to clear the ratman dungeon was only 50%, so he definitely wouldn't be able to get a high-end item like the 3D printer.

As usual, draw [items].

Then a system notification sound rang out.

[Ding! Random reward draw complete. You have obtained the item "Ander Technology Small Photovoltaic Array Power Station x1"]

[Ander Technology Small Photovoltaic Array Power Station: Energy is the cornerstone of civilization, and the advantage of photovoltaic panels not needing grid connection makes them the most convenient energy source in the wasteland. Power generation: 9000KW-12000KW.]

Although it's a bit of a shame that the original crystal power station wasn't there, this small photovoltaic array power station is enough to support the shelter's initial needs.

Zhong Li could assert that there must be a Primal Crystal Power Plant in this wasteland world, because he had already seen the Primal Crystal Battery.

Energy is the cornerstone of civilization, and the discovery of each type of energy signifies a new revolution in industry and technology.

Looking at it this way, the wasteland really does resemble Africa, with underdeveloped infrastructure, or rather, abandoned infrastructure. Solar panels are everywhere, serving as the most important support for the scattered shelters and scavenger camps in the wasteland, while in the core urban areas and military strongholds, they have directly entered the era of atomic power plants.

With this small power plant, the command center, radar, Tiger Soul 3D printer, resource synthesis warehouse, and waste recycling station could all operate at full power, and the shelter was finally on the right track.

Good things come in pairs. Just as Zhongli had finished planning the installation location for the power station, which covered several hundred square meters, Hongluan approached, her voice brimming with barely suppressed joy: "Manager, the Crimson Training Ground is finished. Would you like to go take a look?"

Zhongli hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Let Zhuque handle this matter; I don't want to go."

The smile in Hongluan's beautiful eyes faded slightly, but the bright light remained. She gazed at Zhongli and said, "Master Administrator, the suffering the Holy Maiden endured must have been far more severe than you can imagine. But the Holy Maiden persevered, and more importantly, she now has a future to look forward to. I hope you won't put too much pressure on yourself."

Zhong Li finally turned to look in the direction of the Holy Maiden. This was the first time he had looked directly at her since he made the suggestion. The fine, bleeding wounds under her crimson dress were beginning to heal, and the bright red skirt fluttered in the moonlight, concealing the traces of blood.

But Zhongli knew that Yuezhihua's condition would soon disappear. The measure he had proposed was merely a temporary solution, and one could even say that it was driven by his own selfish motives, causing the Holy Maiden to suffer more pain for his own convenience and power.

The state of lunar bloom cannot last. After each lunar bloom, there is a long vacuum period during which the saintess must endure the rampant wounds all over her body and suffer the pain of bleeding all over her body.

Even if the health restored by Moon's Blossom every second can cause bleeding for two seconds, 10 seconds of Moon's Blossom still means that the Saintess has to endure bleeding for several times that amount of time.

This made Zhongli so guilty that he dared not look directly into the saintess's bright and gentle eyes.

Ye Wei was not unaware of Zhong Li's plans, but she smiled faintly and said nothing.

So Zhong Li remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I have a lot of things to do. The construction of the power plant and the Sister of Repentance statue both require my coordination, so I won't go to the Crimson Training Ground. Captain Suzaku is very capable and can coordinate all of this well."

Hongluan gazed at him for a few seconds, then didn't press the matter further. Looking into his eyes, she said earnestly, "My lord, I just want to say that we are all very grateful for everything you've done for the Holy Maiden. Everyone is overjoyed by the improvement in the situation. The Holy Maiden also has a noticeable smile on her face; she absolutely doesn't want to leave you easily. All this suffering was caused by the Crimson Invasion, and you have done everything within your power to improve the situation to the greatest extent possible. Judging by actions, not intentions, is important; no one in the world is perfect when it comes to intentions."

Zhongli raised an eyebrow. Was Hongluan subtly pointing at him, or was she just quoting something unintentionally?

The first half of this sentence is: Of all evils, lust is the worst!

Zhong Li admitted that he did indeed have some feelings for the Holy Maiden and her Hongluan.

But is it color?

I don't know, but the flowers are in full bloom, and if I don't appreciate them, I'll seem like I'm not romantic enough!

Zhong Li was frank about this; no man could possibly not be interested in a woman like the Holy Maiden, who was dressed in a red dress, with unparalleled beauty and stunning charm.

He asked curiously, "Did the Saintess rarely smile before?"

Zhongli felt that the Saintess was quite gentle and always smiling after spending time with her today.

Hongluan shook her head and said, "The saint used to be quite aloof. She usually ignored us and stayed alone in the monastery's prayer room."

She was secretly reading comic books inside!

Is the saintess also an anime/manga otaku?

Before Zhongli could think it through, Hongluan continued, "We are all very fortunate that the Holy Maiden smiled more when she was with you, Master Administrator. Perhaps only after leaving the convent could the Holy Maiden truly be herself again. She really didn't want to leave you."

Hearing Hongluan say this, Zhongli finally felt much better and said, "Then let's work together to change the course of fate for the Holy Maiden. As for the Crimson Training Ground, you don't need to get involved; leave that to Zhuque and Liulu. You and Huowu get ready; we'll probably set off in about four hours."
