Chapter 303 Tropical Rainforest World
Finally, Zuli checked the prices for vehicle body modifications at the factory.
He has currently unlocked two items that can be used for vehicle modification.
One type is titanium alloy, and the other is high-temperature resistant composite steel provided by the Tianyan Orcs.
Zurich compared it with current car body materials.
The current vehicle is made of ordinary iron, with 5-centimeter-thick walls and enhanced with magical energy, making it more than capable of withstanding bullets. Of course, it can't compare to a tank; tanks on Earth have 60-centimeter-thick equivalent frontal armor. Those are truly resilient.
After switching to titanium alloy armor, the defensive capabilities increased slightly, and the weight was reduced considerably.
By replacing it with high-temperature resistant composite steel, the defense is doubled, and it also has the added benefit of high-temperature resistance, able to withstand temperatures up to 1800 degrees Celsius.
This made Su Li very excited. In the last world, the magical magma they encountered was only around 1600 degrees Celsius, while the temperature of ordinary magma hovered between 1000 and 1400 degrees Celsius.
With this armor, their train can enter the lava for a short time.
However, this armor also has drawbacks. In low-temperature environments, below -40 degrees Celsius, it becomes brittle, and its performance is even worse than that of ordinary steel. Moreover, it has extremely poor resistance to ice-elemental attacks.
At the same time, manufacturing this steel requires the use of fire-attribute stone of the black iron grade.
Su Li calculated that the entire vehicle modification would require 300 units of iron ingots and 90 units of fire-attribute stone.
After careful consideration, Zuli chose this material to modify the vehicle body. "Overall, it's still worth making. We just need to avoid the extremely cold world."
"I'm a little disappointed with titanium alloy," Su Li said, her eyes filled with undisguised frustration. "I once read a novel where the protagonist's cheat ability was a titanium alloy sword that was indestructible. There were also titanium alloy tanks that were impervious to bullets and blades and were invincible."
Ivan, who was standing to the side, laughed out loud, "Haha, if we only talk about the situation on Earth, a tank made of titanium alloy is just a newspaper shell and its performance is not good."
"For the same volume, steel is much stronger than titanium alloy. However, for the same weight, titanium alloy has higher strength, which is why spacecraft often use titanium alloy—it's light."
I watched as the train underwent repairs. The exterior repairs didn't take long; they were completed in just two hours.
The next morning, after breakfast and finishing their exercise, Su Li and his group's train entered the teleportation vortex.
As usual, five choices appeared in the vortex.
The first one is the previous world
The second vortex was a sticky mass, the purpose of which Su Li had no idea. It was surrounded by a silver-level ring.
The third vortex is a desert with man-made structures in the middle that resemble ruins; it's a Silver-level site.
The fourth vortex is a tree covered in vines, Silver-level.
The fifth vortex is an urban dimension, Silver level.
There was no Gold-level world this time.
"There's no other choice this time, we definitely have to choose the fourth world."
Su Li currently only lacks wood-attribute materials to upgrade to level 6. Naturally, she wouldn't choose any other world.
After clicking on the fourth world, the vortex started spinning again.
A few minutes later, the darkness in Su Li's eyes quickly faded. Su Li, who was already familiar with the path, steadied herself and prepared to face the upcoming changes in gravity and air pressure.
After the entire train completely broke out of the transmission vortex, Su Li pulled the handbrake.
You have entered a new world.
【Scorching Saline-Alkali Land】
Current global energy level: 1.6
Challenge Level: 2
The team began to work methodically and soon arrived at the conference room.
As usual, let's have a short meeting first.
Zuli first explained the atmospheric conditions of this world.
"The gravity is only 70% of that of Earth, the atmospheric pressure is about the same, and the oxygen content is much higher. Luckily, we are all at the Iron level, otherwise we would suffer from oxygen poisoning. The energy level is 1.6. Above 1.5, Silver level energy will become common. Challenge level 2. Overall, it is still within our control."
Then Su Li took out two sets of props, "These are the support props for this time. 3 bottles of [Disinfectant] and 3 bottles of [Universal Antidote]. Old Deng's distribution of props is never without purpose. In this world, we will definitely face the threats of fungal and bacterial infections as well as various poisons."
After Su Li finished speaking, she gestured for Song Mingyu to continue.
As usual, Song Mingyu took out her notebook. With one hand in her pocket and the other holding the notebook, she really looked like an attending physician.
"As usual, I threw out a slime to test the environment. To be honest, it was terrible. This world also has elemental fields. These fields don't affect us much, but they strongly enhance the local creatures."
"This wooden field can affect the life activities of local plants and animals. The monsters here are very resilient, but the monsters are not the big problem. The big problem is the various mosquitoes and germs."
"I want to emphasize this: everyone, absolutely! Absolutely! Do not open the windows for ventilation. From now on, our train will operate on internal circulation mode and the oxygen generators will be turned on. We will try our best to avoid any exchange of substances with the outside world."
Song Mingyu took out a bucket of indigo liquid from her personal inventory. "Put these things into the disinfection room to replace the disinfectant solution that's not strong enough. This liquid will cause some irritation if it gets on your skin, so please bear with it."
"Is it that serious?" Sun Lili said in surprise.
“It’s that serious.” Song Mingyu said with a serious expression, “The germs, fungi and mosquitoes here are too resilient. They infect and fight each other, constantly iterating and updating themselves with their strong adaptability. Some of the fungi and germs I’ve collected are basically not afraid of yeast.”
Su Li and the others exchanged glances, neither quite understanding.
Seeing their puzzled expressions, Song Mingyu explained, "Yeast multiplies rapidly, consuming huge amounts of oxygen and killing all its own kind that need oxygen. Then, the anaerobic respiration of yeast produces alcohol, which denatures proteins. For bacteria composed of proteins, it's like a game-changer."
"You've all heard of the concept of raising Gu, right? Every bacterium in this world is a Gu king."
This made Su Li feel a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but ask, "Can we hold out?"
"Don't underestimate the power of magic to strengthen the body," Song Mingyu said. "We're almost at the Silver level, so resisting most bacteria and fungi shouldn't be a problem. It's the particularly powerful ones that we need to be wary of."
"I'm telling you to be careful because I'm afraid we might bring bacteria into the carriages and create hidden dangers. Even if we don't think about the crops and animals we raise, we should also consider our companions in Blue Star City. Think about the devastation that happened after the colonists brought germs to the Americas. The bacteria here are still too strong for the residents of Blue Star City."
Song Mingyu closed the manual. "In the end, Tree Mushroom Master will definitely be able to solve the problem, but before that, I don't know how many people will die from these germs."
