Electric Crossbow!
Having killed two magical creatures that seemed to have walked out of a fantasy world, the mutated creatures that used to scare Liam on his way back to the shelter seemed much more amiable.
"Casting fireballs... It's too outrageous. If those creatures described in fantasy novels are going to appear one by one, the survival of mankind will be in jeopardy."
The power of the fireball wasn't great.
As long as humans had a Gatling gun , even dozens or hundreds of these monsters at a time wouldn't be able to break through the metal defense line.
But if there were other creatures like the dragons in mythology...
"I hope not, otherwise humans will only ever be rats in the ground!"
The more Liam thought about the future of mankind, the more he felt that the future was bleak.
Shaking his head, Liam forcibly forgot all the worries in his mind. Seeing the shelter that had appeared on the horizon in front of him, a long-lost sense of security came over him.
There's no place like home!
In just six days, Liam had completely regarded this area as his territory.
Oreo, who had been drooping his tail along the way, also became more and more excited as he got closer and closer to the shelter.
After carefully looking around the shelter and finding no strangers, Liam came to the back of the hill, opened the back door of the shelter, and went in.
Bending down and passing through the long tunnel, as his eyes suddenly became clear, the man and dog returned to the shelter again.
Sunlight quietly shone through the vents and fell down, forming a dazzling beam of light.
Some tiny dust could be seen dancing in the air in the light beam.
The vegetable cultivation base placed in the center of the base, although there were still no green buds emerging, the smell of soil brought a breath of life to the base.
"This is my shelter. If you want to destroy it, you have to step over my body first."
At the thought that the shelter would be broken into and destroyed by these Kobold beasts, Liam's fists hardened.
Sitting at the table, taking advantage of the sunlight, Liam took out the crossbow from the storage space and put it on the table.
After a few days, he had gathered enough survival points and generators, and it was urgent to upgrade the electric automatic weapon.
The crossbow, which could only fire one arrow, was still useful when hunting, but it was too limited in direct combat.
Especially when encountering monsters with magical powers, it was not enough.
Concentrating his mind and chanting the system in his heart, Liam stared at the crossbow.
[Hunting Compound Crossbow (Normal)]
Description: A long-range combat tool with a slow loading speed and high initial speed. It has considerable lethality and is a must-have for wilderness survival.
Speed: 140m/s
Range: 80m (maximum damage) 165m (effective damage) 330m (farthest damage)
Upgrade Direction 1: Upgrade the crossbow material, enhance the crossbow poundage, and reduce the stringing pressure. Survival points required (180).
Upgrade Direction 2: Upgrade the crossbow material, add an electric stringing device, change the shooting mode, and add an automatic shooting burst mode. Survival points required (400).
"The second upgrade direction requires 400 survival points. After upgrading the generator, I only have 303 points left. Let's see if I can find a way to add some items to reduce the demand."
After pondering for a while, Liam concentrated, and the upgrade requirements for direction one popped up.
Aside from some parts whose names he had never heard of, Liam noticed two major items in the requirements: a 500W motor, and a composite lithium battery or lead-acid battery.
"Well, this 500W motor weighs at least five or six kilograms. With a big battery, the weight of the crossbow will be at least 20 kilograms."
"And considering the situation where metal fatigue is seriously aggravated, if the firing speed is accelerated, it will be damaged after not being used for a long time."
After a little calculation in his mind, Liam discovered the advantages and disadvantages of the electric crossbow.
The lethality brought by the 500w motor was definitely enough. Even considering the loss in the middle, it could at least have 200 joules of kinetic energy.
But at the same time, such a violent output power was bound to bring about a loss of accuracy. The battery and motor had to be placed at the rear, so the whole weapon's center of gravity would be all at the back, and it would probably be difficult to hold and aim.
"Forget it. There is no good solution to worry about so much. Let's solve the immediate problem first."
Keeping all the approximate parameters in mind, Liam opened the trading market and began to search for goods.
After the handling fee was added, the current trading market was no longer as hot as it had been in the previous few days. The hundreds of thousands of pages of goods had become seven or eight pages overnight.
Few people were rich enough to pay the express delivery fee to buy items like Liam.
After flipping through all the pages and not finding any items, Liam could only helplessly come to the world channel.
[Liam: Acquiring a 500W motor, size and weight unlimited, as well as a composite lithium battery or lead-acid battery.]
[Liam: I'm opening a purchase order and will be responsible for the express delivery fee. If you want to sell items, put them up for trading!]
After the first disaster, everyone's daily loudspeaker became two.
When Liam's first message appeared on the world channel, it didn't attract everyone's attention, but when the second message followed, it immediately detonated the world channel.
"Damn it, front row, hug me, Liam. Not much to say, I'm saving my luck for this wave to open the box."
"Congratulations on getting the Claw Knife - Battle Worn quality. Sorry, I went to the wrong studio."
"Motor, lithium battery... Liam, have you already reached the electrical age? I'm still lighting torches. Oh, I don't even have torches anymore, so that's fine!"
"I have a lithium battery installed on my phone. Do you want it, Liam?"
"This express fee is not cheap... It's really inhumane."
"Our China is so powerful! Foreign Liams are not good, but our Chinese Liams are good!"
As time passed, more and more people flocked to the world channel just to see Liam's message in the front row.
Seeing the popularity rise, Liam was happy to do so and directly posted the acquisition information on the trading channel.
In a short while, after spending 800ml of M-energy water and 11 disaster points, he successfully received a simple-looking motor that seemed to have been removed from an electric car, weighing 12kg.
As for the lithium battery, after some screening, Liam spent another 600ml of M-energy water and 40 disaster points to buy two sets of batteries, which were:
20Ah, 12.8v ternary lithium battery, used to be installed on the electric crossbow.
400Ah, 12.8v standard lithium iron phosphate battery, used as the daily electricity consumption in the early stage of the shelter.
As a 12v standard battery, the 400Ah one could store about five kilowatt-hours of electricity at ordinary times, which was enough for the initial use of the shelter.
After sending out the crossbow, battery, and motor, Liam looked at them again, and the survival point requirement changed.
[Hunting Compound Crossbow (Normal)]
Upgrade Direction 1: Upgrade the crossbow material, enhance the crossbow poundage, and reduce the stringing pressure. Survival points required (180).
Upgrade Direction 2: Upgrade the crossbow material, add an electric stringing device, change the design mode, and add an automatic shooting burst mode. Survival points required (220).
"Well? The two most important major parts have only been reduced by 180 points... Could it be that this kind of upgrade can also change the material properties?"
Without hesitation, Liam chose to upgrade.
As the light moved, after 220 survival points were deducted, a green light scattered out and fused the three items into a blue, water-like object in almost less than a second.
As the frequency of the green light scattered more frequently, the water-like object began to solidify and gradually turned into a new shape.
The 10kg motor disappeared, and the bulky lithium battery had also been transformed.
An airbag-like device was formed under the original hand support.
Most importantly, the newly-baked electric crossbow was actually attached with a luxurious scope, which was really exciting.
Looking at the big killer in front of him, Liam, who had been worried about the possible attack of Kobolds, suddenly had a green number pop up on his head!
