Chapter 10 New Talent! Conditions for Upgrading the Shelter!
[Congratulations on successfully recruiting D-level auxiliary talent-engineer "Li Ya"! 】
As the mysterious beep sounded, a humanoid golden light appeared in front of Su Yi, and in the blink of an eye a woman walked out of the golden light.
She is tall and has a unique temperament. She has smooth black hair, which is simply tied into a low ponytail. Her eyes are full of wisdom in the gold-rimmed frames.
She was wearing simple dark work clothes, and a multifunctional tool belt hung around her waist, equipped with a variety of small and sophisticated tools, from screwdrivers to micro welders.
Even her gloves are special anti-static gloves, and she is also carrying a backpack containing various electronic components and measuring instruments.
"Another [talent] reward!"
Su Yi's eyes lit up, and he found that as long as there was enough food and drinking water, the rewards from the talent unit had appeared twice in succession.
"Does this mean that from the perspective of the talent mechanism, the resource I currently lack the most is talent."
"The shelter has population data, which shows that population is also an urgent resource for the shelter, and the talent unit is actually a higher-level population resource."
Su Yi was thinking about it, and the new talent Li Ya was greeting Su Yi politely: "Hello, boss, I am happy to serve you."
boss?
Another new title.
However, these talents are loyal to the shelter, and it doesn't matter what they are called.
Su Yi looked at Li Ya and opened Li Ya's data panel to check.
...

...
A whole new type of talent!
"Engineer, research and development capabilities...specialized in creating technological items for shelters?"
Su Yi was keenly aware of the difference between these keywords.
If Lin Yue is a typical combat talent, then Li Ya's data panel is very interesting.
In the apocalypse, human technology has already completely failed. As a scientific research talent, how can Li Ya re-create technological items in this situation?
Su Yi noticed that the technological items mentioned in Li Ya's data had a prefix of [shelter].
"Are shelter technology and human technology different systems?"
Su Yi pondered slightly. He looked at Li Ya and asked for confirmation: "Li Ya, what things can you create?"
"Anything that improves the current shelter environment, I'm good at."
Li Ya's voice was light and firm: "Including the shelter's defense facilities, living facilities, expansion, etc.; of course, I can't develop anything too advanced yet."
Li Ya's level is only D, and accordingly the level of the items she develops is not too high.
"Wait, expansion?"
Su Yi was pleasantly surprised when he noticed this word.
Li Ya can actually expand the shelter?
Doesn’t this mean that the space of the shelter can become larger!
This is a good thing. A larger space not only means that it can carry more people, but also improves the defense and disaster resistance of the shelter through the creation and arrangement of the space.
"Liya, how do you plan to expand the shelter?"
Su Yi asked, and Li Ya said respectfully: "It depends on what type of shelter the boss plans to have. In addition, I need corresponding types of shelter expansion materials."
After Li Ya said these words, it seemed that a certain keyword was triggered, and a new prompt message popped up in front of Su Yi.
[Necessary prerequisites for expanding the shelter: having the corresponding type of talent or technical drawings, having enough building materials for expansion, and having enough space for renovation. 】
[Currently, your shelter is level 0. To upgrade to a level 1 shelter, you need to meet the following conditions:]
【1. Select the type of shelter to upgrade to (not completed). 】
[2. Have corresponding talents or technical drawings (already have engineers). 】
[3. Have 100 doomsday survival points (currently 10 points). 】
[4. Double the space adjacent to the current shelter space (not surveyed). 】
[5. 100 units of corresponding building materials (if not owned, building materials can be obtained by sending talents to explore tasks). 】
"Hiss~!"
Su Yi's eyes widened and he murmured: "These five requirements don't seem simple. These are just the conditions for upgrading the level 1 shelter."
"However, after upgrading the level 1 shelter, what changes will happen to the shelter?"
"Does this type of shelter have any special meaning?"
Su Yi focused on the type of shelter, and soon the prompt box changed.
[The currently available types for upgrading level 1 shelters are:]
[1. Refugee Camp - With more living space, the residents of the shelter have a 20% resistance effect to various extreme natural environments; corresponding to the building material "wood for refugees". ]
[2. Experimental House - With a more detailed technology tree, more shelter items can be created; corresponding to the building material "electronic components". ]
[3. Studio - The time consumed by dispatched exploration tasks is reduced by 20%, and the dispatched materials obtained are increased by 10%; corresponding to the building material "big money". ]
[Please choose your shelter type carefully, each shelter type has its fixed upgrade route. ]
[Once the shelter type is determined, it will not be changed in the future without specific means. ]
Su Yi glanced at the information in front of him and had a rough idea in his mind.
The three shelter types correspond to different shelter styles, which can be roughly divided into disaster resistance, scientific research, and active work.
These three types also correspond to different attitudes towards disasters, and have their own advantages.
"Which one should I choose?"
"Wait, I haven't even met the conditions for upgrading yet, why did I choose it?"
"These three corresponding building materials don't sound like things on Earth, let's get them together first."
Su Yi smiled bitterly. In his current situation, he could only upgrade the type of shelter that was upgraded to the one that got all three materials first.
"Lin Yue! Get ready to go out and explore!"
Su Yi turned his head and opened today's dispatch mission, and found today's exploration mission of [Material Collection], which took 12 hours.
"Yes!"
Lin Yue nodded, took two bottles of ice water and dry food, and then moved the debris blocking the door and left home.
It was past 12 noon, and Lin Yue would not be back until after midnight.
After arranging Lin Yue, Su Yi looked at Li Ya.
He originally wanted to arrange a dispatch mission for Li Ya, but considering Li Ya's identity as an engineer, it seemed that she didn't seem to be very combat-capable.
"Li Ya, what specific things can you make? Can you tell me?"
Su Yi looked at Li Ya. He wanted to place talents in the right positions and give full play to their abilities.
"Boss, I don't know how to introduce them."
Li Ya shook her head and suggested: "But you can tell me what you need. If I can make it, I can start working now."
"Don't you need specific materials to make things?"
"Boss, I can make low-level items with local materials."
Li Ya looked very confident. Su Yi couldn't help but ask expectantly: "Can you generate electricity? Make a motor or something!"
Electric energy is a vital thing for humans.
If there is electricity, many things can be done.
Li Ya shook her head: "I can't do it without specific materials and drawings."
"Then... transform our shelter and improve the defense?"
Su Yi asked, Li Ya nodded: "It can be simply repaired and strengthened, but it can't be improved too much."
"Improve as much as I can."
Su Yi is already very satisfied, as long as the shelter is strong enough to resist risks.
"Get to work now, I'll help you! By the way, be quiet so that the neighbors don't hear you."
"Okay, boss."
Li Ya nodded, picked up her tool kit and started working.
She didn't ask Su Yi to help, and started measuring and planning in the room.
Su Yi was walking around, wanting to help, but couldn't.
Su Yi simply lay back on the bed, thinking about what to do next.
He thought of a lot, about the upgrade of the shelter, the arrangement of talents, and the potential threats of Brother Li and others. All kinds of thoughts kept colliding in Su Yi's mind.
The temperature in the room was still hot, but fortunately the freezer was next to it and kept emitting cold air. The slight cool feeling made Su Yi's head dizzy and he fell asleep in a daze.
"Boss? Boss, wake up."
Li Ya called softly, causing Su Yi to open his eyes and turn over from the bed.
It was already pitch black outside the window, and Su Yi suddenly realized: "Li Ya, how long have I slept?"
"9 hours, boss."
Li Ya squatted beside the bed and whispered: "You are under too much mental pressure, so you sleep very deeply, but this is a good thing. Effective sleep can repair your mental state."
"Li Ya, did anything happen during the time I was asleep? Is there any movement outside?"
"Boss, an hour ago, a group of people came outside."
Li Ya reported softly: "It seems to be a group of men. They tried to push our door open, but failed."
"It's Brother Li and them!"
Su Yi suddenly became nervous, and he looked at the door reflexively.
Just this one glance, Su Yi was stunned.
All the obstacles he had placed next to the door disappeared, and they all returned to their original positions in the room.
The original old wooden door now has an inner structure with steel bars interlaced and covered.
The outside is a wooden door, and the inside is a layer of fine steel bars interlaced and covered.
There is also a layer of fine iron spikes on the steel coat, which seems to be a special defense method to prevent the wooden door outside from being pushed open.
The whole door exudes a heavy and tingling feeling, which gives Su Yi a great sense of security.
This is much more powerful than his door full of debris. It is difficult for someone to break through from the outside!
"This... did you do all this?"
Su Yi looked at Li Ya and asked in surprise. Li Ya nodded: "Yes, boss, due to limited materials, I can only do this for now."
"Materials? Where did you get these materials?"
Su Yi realized that there were no iron products at home. Where did Li Ya get these things to modify the door?
Could it be that this woman could create something out of nothing?
