Basic Survival

      Chu Jungui got into the rescue capsule again, lifted the seat, and pulled out a square box from below. The symbol of deep space energy and lifesaving were printed on the lid of the box. This is a star field survival suit produced by Deep Space Energy. This suit is reliable, stable and cheap. It is also a must-have life-saving item on most interstellar spaceships.

   The suit box is made of composite material, and it looks cheap and rough at first glance. Chu Jungui opened the suit box and took out everything inside to take a look. The box contains three packs of compressed food, two bottles of water, two polymer batteries, a scanner, and a multifunctional universal substance printer. Chu Jungui picked up the Universal Substance Printer, gently pressed the start switch, and it automatically ejected the base and four printing arms.

   At the heart of the entire Survival Kit is this Universal Matter Printer, which can print out a variety of devices with standardized materials based on pre-stored blueprints. The energy required for this simple portable version of the printer is just a polymer battery. If you can't find a battery, you can also use other energy sources instead. It can be said that having a material printer is equivalent to having a miniature portable factory.

   It was just that Chu Jungui looked at the blueprint list on the printer screen and shook his head helplessly. Although the number of blueprints listed above is quite large, it is a pity that they are all the most basic equipment, and most of them are seriously outdated models. For example, the main self-defense weapon is just a pistol, or gunpowder power. When he was at the base, let alone seeing it, he had never even heard of such an ancient thing. However, this portable printer needs to consider both versatility and cost, and even cost is the first consideration, so the materials it can handle are quite limited, and naturally it cannot print any advanced equipment.

  Chu Jungui browsed the list and decided on a few pieces of equipment to build. First, he had to have a self-defense weapon, and secondly, a necessary survival tool. A multi-purpose combat dagger can meet most of the needs. Next, you still need a pistol and an arm shield. The melee gunfighting version 0.1a can still be remembered in the storage area, and he has passed the test himself and already has muscle memory. But because of the sudden incident, even the base was destroyed, and those researchers naturally did not care about cleaning his memory.

  According to the information on the common sense of interstellar survival in his memory, Chu Jungui felt that as long as he had a gun and a shield in hand, and a short knife with serrated teeth, he could basically walk sideways on ordinary primitive ecological planets. It is not a particularly large or large number of gregarious creatures, and ordinary beasts are not a problem at all. He looked inside the rescue capsule, turned it over again, and found a small box containing several round rods. Most of them are base metals like iron and copper, plus two carbon rods. These round rods are the raw material for the Universal Substance Printer. Although there are basic materials, but still can not make guns. He has to make gunpowder first, before he can make ammunition, and finally a pistol. A dead gun is not as good as a fire stick. I just store the P1911 in the blueprint. It looks square and full of retro feel. I don't know which ancient weapon it is to pay tribute to.

  Chu Jungui knows the current situation, he seems to have to collect some materials and explore the surrounding environment at the same time. Since the rescue capsule was completely destroyed, he didn't know how long he was going to stay on this damn planet. If there is really no intelligent life on this planet, and it is not in the list of planets that have been discovered, then Chu Jungui must be ready to build an interstellar spaceship from scratch with his own hands. Fortunately, his predecessor was an experimental body, and he had not yet formed a clear concept of time and life, so he did not seriously think about how much time it would take to complete this task.

Chu Jungui took out everything that could be used in the rescue capsule, built a simple workbench with the back of the seat, placed the printer firmly, and then inserted a polymer battery. On the manufacturing blueprint, he chose multi-functional combat. dagger. The four print arms of the printer are in place, and the top cover slides open to reveal the feed port. Seeing the four feeding ports side by side, Chu Jungui couldn't help but utter a dirty word in his heart. How much material can be processed at one time with just a few feed ports? The equipment that can be printed with this material is naturally small equipment, and even larger small equipment cannot be processed. This deep space energy is really saving money in order to save costs. A battle dagger still uses less than four materials. Chu Jungui took an iron rod, added a carbon rod, inserted it into the feed port, and started printing.

   Each of the four printing arms shoots out light beams and builds up layers of materials. It didn't take long for a combat dagger to take shape. Chu Jungui picked up the dagger, pulled the blade, tried the strength, and then could only shake his head. This is a dagger made of ordinary metal and is still made by printing, so its quality will not be much better.

   "As long as it's harder than my fingernails and my teeth." He comforted himself.

  With a dagger, it is even the most basic tool. Chu Jungui used three metal rods and the remaining carbon rods to build an arm shield. This arm shield has only basic defense functions, but it has a sharp edge and a wooden handle, which can be used as an axe or a shovel. When he finished these two pieces of equipment, there was not much material left in his hand. He picked up the scanner again and looked at it. This is a device that is somewhat similar to a single-piece combat eyepiece, a half-frame lens, which actually has the function of a display screen. The apertures on the frame emit a scanning beam that can resolve most common substances.

  Chu Jungui put on the scanner, tried it briefly, and threw it aside. This scanner can be placed in a suit, and the performance naturally needs to be said. It can indeed scan most common substances, but the problem is common substances that ordinary people can see with their eyes. And Chu Jungui's vision also has its own scanning function, which is much stronger than this scanner.

   But after thinking about it, he picked up the scanner and took it with him. He doesn't want to be found out that he is different from ordinary people, so it is better to carry a scanner. Although it doesn't use its scanning, it can at least block the wind in bad weather.

   After cleaning up, Chu Jungui first searched around the rescue capsule and collected some scattered metal fragments. When he builds the refiner, the metal scraps can be re-refined into raw materials. High-scale interstellar alloys are used to build rescue capsules. The materials used in this alloy are not available on any planet. Even if there are, some ingredients in it are very troublesome to refine.

  The rescue capsule plows a deep trench of hundreds of meters on the ground. Chu Jungui simply walked along the ditch, slowly exploring the forest not far away. As he walked, Chu Jungui scanned the rocks and plants he saw along the way. On the outer edge of the forest, the ground grows with some low vegetation and weeds, the main component is carbon, and also contains quite high sulfur. Both elements are versatile and form the basis of many materials.

   At least the ecology of this planet is very similar to the human parent planet, which means that many technologies can be used in general. Among the stones on the ground, there were a few dark silver and yellowish stones that caught Chu Jungui's attention. He leaned over to pick it up and looked closely in front of him. From his field of vision, a scan line swept down the stone in his hand. The composition of the stone was quickly resolved, and it contained a large amount of iron and sulfur, as well as a small amount of nickel, and a very small amount of elements of unknown composition.

   This is a piece of pyrrhotite, and it is at the surface. Perhaps because of the extremely high sulfur content and low oxygen in the air, it was not weathered. With pyrrhotite, there is a source of base metals and base chemical raw materials. Chu Jungui found a few pieces of pyrrhotite nearby, put them in his backpack, and marked the location on the map in his head. Since there are ore on the ground, then there are mostly ore deposits underground. If you are lucky, you may even find copper.

   He walked a little further and came to the edge of the forest. Chu Jungui pulled out his dagger and walked towards a big tree. The trees here are tall and straight, often tens of meters high. The body of the tree is very smooth, only the top of the tree will spread out huge leaves, and the side of the leaves facing the sky is dark red. Just as he was walking to the big tree, a small thing suddenly jumped out from behind the tree and rushed towards Chu Jungui!

  In an instant, Chu Jungui loaded the 11.07x version of the basic fighting skills in his memory. He leaned back and hit the dagger, directly piercing the attacking object in the air. The entire movement is like flowing water, no matter the speed, angle or timing, it is flawless, and the basic fighting skills have been brought into full play.

  Chu Jungui wears a small beast on the dagger, with fur interwoven with dark red and dark green, which can be integrated with the environment when sneaking in the forest. Its vitality is very tenacious, its body has been pierced, and it is still struggling desperately, constantly threatening and roaring at Chu Jungui. Chu Jungui stretched out his hand to squeeze its neck bone and twisted it off. This little thing feels very light, and I don't know if the flesh is poisonous. If it's not poisonous, the source of the food doesn't have to be so worrying. Chu Jungui put the little beast in his backpack, he came to a big tree, tapped the trunk lightly, and there was a hollow sound inside.

  Chu Jungui continued to tap, and according to the echoes, the internal shape of the trunk gradually took shape in his brain. The trunk is hollow, the outer wall is about a palm thick, and there are some thick vessels like blood vessels inside. He pulled out the dagger, inserted it into the tree trunk with force, then held the handle with both hands, sawing with the serrations on the back of the knife, and finally made a small opening in the tree trunk. The trunk is made of hard fibers, and the texture is quite hard. It should be a good building material, but it is a little thin.

  Chu Jungui cut open a vessel inside and picked out some sap with the tip of the knife. When the dagger was close to the tip of his nose, he smelled a pungent smell. He frowned, it seems that the sap contains strong acidity and is completely unsuitable for direct drinking. It seems that the source of water will continue to find ways. He carefully explored the edge of the forest and discovered more than a dozen different shrubs and several kinds of fruits one after another. It is a pity that most of these fruits have only basic nutritional value, so few are not worth eating at all.

   After searching for a while, Chu Jungui suddenly felt a burning sensation in his chest and coughed. The discomfort comes from the lungs, it seems the planet is breathing a little too much of the poisonous gas. Even if he is an experimental subject, the accumulated toxic substances are still somewhat unbearable.

   He slowed his breathing, quickened his pace, and returned to the rescue capsule. There are also some basic oxygen reserves in the rescue capsule. Although not many, Chu Jun returned to the physique of the experimental body. These oxygen ordinary people can only use it for a few hours, but they can support him for several days.
