Oil Resource Point, Repaired!
Heading to Shelter Number Two, with the Dune Buggy, the distance is practically negligible.
After examining the Storage Space, Su Mo put down most of the items and took some repair materials that might be needed.
"Oreo, I'm going to Shelter Number Two, do you want to come?"
As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, Oreo, who was still playing with the Big and Little Spark, ran over, sat down obediently, and rolled his eyes around.
"Don't worry, I'll drive!"
"Woof~ woof woof~"
Upon hearing the word "drive, "Oreo's eyes instantly lit up with stars! He barked and woofed, eager to get out and ride the Bouncy for a spin.
Su Mo laughed heartily, and after confirming that everything was packed, he picked up Oreo, opened the door, and walked out.
The two Big and Little Spark, saw Su Mo leave and gave him a resentful look before grumbling and returning to their own territory, quietly waiting for the two to come home.
"What a strong sandstorm today! It looks like a blizzard is really coming soon!"
Once the wind starts blowing across the plains, it never stops.
When the door was being repaired, it was just a light breeze, but less than half an hour later, it turned into a howling north wind.
Sand swirled up in waves, striking the armor and making a rustling sound.
After putting Oreo down and driving out the Bouncy that was in the makeshift underground parking lot, Oreo skillfully jumped into the car and used his mouth to fasten the seatbelt.
"Good, very safety-conscious!"
Seeing Oreo's appearance, Su Mo smiled, slipped into the car, made a gesture in the air to attach the helmet attached to the armor, started the vehicle, and drove away.
In just a few minutes, Shelter Number Two was right in front of us.
After parking the car behind the hillside, Su Mo turned around, got out, put Oreo down, and took out his weapon to stand guard.
After Oreo patrolled the area and indicated that there were no problems nearby, Su Mo was relieved and put away his weapon, then took out Hook Rope and headed towards the hole.
Shaking the hook, Su Mo, like a seasoned hunter, used the same method to nail the hook to the ground.
After tugging on the rope to make sure everything was alright, Su Mo slid down it and into the shelter in a flash.
Just like the mess last time, Shelter Number Two is still littered with broken glass and scraps of wood.
Passing by the damaged small Thermal Weapon manufacturing platform, after touching it, Su Mo walked to the innermost Oil Well and began to examine it.
Compared to traditional oil exploration and production equipment, this well is significantly more advanced.
Its design makes it clear at a glance that it wasn't manufactured through normal means; rather, it looks like a well that was directly built from game blueprints.
After tugging on the steel cable in the well, Su Mo made a preliminary judgment about the malfunction.
When Ma Gu stopped the well, he must have violently damaged the transmission mechanism below, causing the gears to malfunction and become inoperable.
Such a repair should not be too difficult.
He silently asked to check, summoned the system, and the well's attributes popped up.
[Miniature Oil Well (Excellent. Damaged)]
Description: This scientific well unit has multiple functional modules, including oil extraction, refining, purification, and separation. Due to insufficient modules during construction, it currently only has an oil extraction module. Furthermore, due to illegal shutdown caused by external forces, the well's own Diesel Engine is damaged, some internal parts are damaged, and the well's air pressure is abnormal.
Efficiency: 30L/24h Upgrade Direction 1: Repair Oil Well, restore normal operation, add cleanup module and storage module, requires Survival Points (920).
Upgrade Option 2: Repair the Oil Well, restore normal operation, add refining module, purification and separation module, decontamination module, and storage module. Requires 1580 Survival Points. Evaluation: Awooooo! I dedicate oil to my country! "So the Oil Well that Ma Gu got didn't have all the modules installed. If it only has one oil extraction module, it should be sold as a resource in the Trading Realm?"
Su Mo placed his hand on the edge of the well and peered into it; it was bottomless! Like the Youneng Water Well in the base, this Oil Well clearly did not operate in the conventional way.
As for the various strange modules, they are easy to understand; they are probably the kind of things on the workbench that cannot be judged by common sense!
Which one should I choose?
From the moment he saw the description of the well, Su Mo gave up the idea of repairing it alone.
Simply having oil is not enough; a lot of time and effort, and even a complete supporting plant, are needed to extract the desired substances.
In industry, petroleum gas, gasoline, kerosene, and diesel can be obtained through atmospheric distillation.
Lubricating oil, paraffin wax, and pentane (alkanes with relatively large molecular weights), as well as aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene, can be obtained through vacuum distillation.
Light oils and gaseous olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, butene, and butadiene, can be extracted through catalysis and cracking.
These tasks all require unlocking the corresponding Technology Tree, but now, all you need to do is assemble a simple module to complete this series of troublesome tasks, making it incredibly convenient.
After a moment of contemplation, Su Mo cut out the Survival Points needed for the preparation of a single module, performed a rough calculation, and then returned directly to the initial interface.
After laying out all the available materials on the ground, Su Mo said softly:
"I choose the upgrade path! Two!"
After receiving some strange materials as compensation, and only spending 1440 Survival Points, a strange sky-blue light floated out and enveloped the entire well.
Su Mo looked down and was horrified to discover.
The space beneath my feet seemed to have vanished, and I felt as if I were standing in a void of darkness.
It felt like stepping into a three-dimensional 3D perspective, and everything changed.
In the complete darkness, only the Oil Well, constructed along the sky-blue light, stretched deep into the earth.
The blue grid was expanding so fast that, from Su Mo's perspective, it was difficult to see the bottom at a glance.
300m? Or 500m?
Under Su Mo's gaze, the transparent blue grid began to evolve into one square module after another.
On the flat ground, five identical water tank devices appeared, with wisps of blue air swirling within them before finally attaching to them with a snap.
The hole, which was originally only about 50cm in diameter, began to slowly expand to 1.5 meters in length under the blue light.
Streaks of blue light, like pythons, naturally extended from the cave entrance, their heads snapping into the tail of the water tank, forming a connection.
In an instant, the deep, endless blue grid began to rise rapidly.
After a few breaths, when Su Mo looked again, it had returned to the original state of Shelter Number Two, as if everything just now was an illusion.
"What exactly is the origin of this system? It's too..."
"That's science fiction, isn't it?"
Su Mo wiped the sweat from his brow. Just ten seconds of staring into the abyss had felt like riding a hundred-meter roller coaster, sending his emotions surging back and forth.
The previously damaged and malfunctioning Oil Well have now been completely restored.
The well edges, which were originally made of stone, have now all been replaced with gray-black iron edges with a metallic sheen.
Previously, the well only had one oil drum at the top and bottom, but now it was completely blocked by five thick rubber pipes.
Looking out along the rubber hose that is more than a meter long, five water tanks, each only 50*50*50 cm in size, are placed on the ground, with the end connected to the rubber hose.
"How much stuff can such a small box store?"
As Su Mo bent down to open the water tank to check its size, a black space resembling Storage Space suddenly appeared before him.
"Hmm? The water tank is just a physical container; the inside is actually Storage Space?"
Su Mo was taken aback when he saw the size of 10 cubic meters marked in the upper right corner.
This tiny box is actually ten cubic meters in size, even larger than the Storage Space I carry with me! After trying to move the box a couple of times and finding that it was fixed in place, Su Mo had no choice but to give up on carrying one as a personal storage space.
"It seems these modules are indeed extraordinary."
Standing up, Su Mo called out the Oil Well data again, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face!
[Miniature Oil Well (Excellent)]
Description: This scientific well unit has multiple functional modules including oil extraction, refining, purification, and separation. All functions are currently operating normally! Efficiency: Crude oil: 100L/24h, Diesel: 45L/24h, Gasoline: 22L/24h, Toluene: 1.5kg/24h (Only two items can be produced within each 24-hour period).
"As expected! After adding the module to the Oil Well, toluene and diesel can be extracted directly!"
Su Mo: A shout-out to the guy who tried to wear down the numbers on my combination lock yesterday, your package is on its way!
