Survival Game: Call Me an Honest Businessman

After finishing his meal, Li Zhi went to the deck to get some fresh air.

The scenery from high above was unchanging, and it got boring after a while, so she took out the airship's operating manual and ran back to the cockpit.

The airship has two modes: automatic cruise and manual operation.

Li Zhi had driven yachts before, but his skills were still a bit too advanced for operating an airship; for now, he could only cruise automatically.

The navigation and airflow sensing devices also had no data because the airship was not yet activated.

Only the data panel can be opened and operated.

The data panel displays the status of the Flying Boat functional area.

This includes the fuel usage of the eco-conversion furnace and fuel tank, whether the waste bin is full, whether the rapid sail is retracted or deployed, and the ammunition load of the light crossbow.

Li Zhi mainly studied the energy consumption of the ecological conversion furnace and fuel tank under different conditions, and then went to the stern to tinker with the planting tank.

[Planting Chamber: Enables multi-layered, three-dimensional plant cultivation, featuring an integrated water and fertilizer system that increases plant maturation speed by 50%]

Li Zhi immediately began rummaging through the merchant's backpack.

The cards are all placed in one compartment, which doesn't take up much space, but it's not as convenient to find them as physical goods that are stored in categories.

Fortunately, she had categorized the supplies when she was organizing them, and she quickly found the cabbage seeds and strawberry seeds on the food list.

As soon as the seeds were planted, a line of text appeared on the screen of the planting chamber:

Fertilizer (Qualified): 100%

Water source: connected to an automatic water circulation system

Li Zhi then remembered that the planting bin came with a bag of fertilizer, which could be used for the time being, but she would need to find a way to get fertilizer in the future.

She messaged the user with the profile picture "Give Me a Paper" who was referred to as a "Druid": "[Hi, I wanted to ask if you sell fertilizer?]"

Give me a piece of paper: [No, I don't need fertilizer to encourage plant growth. Do you want to plant something?]

Give me back my 3-star, 5-fee credit!!!: [I planted strawberries and cabbage using a planting pod; you need to provide your own fertilizer for the planting pod.]

Give me a piece of paper: [Oh, okay, then you can check the trading area; maybe they have some there.]

Give me back my Samsung Galaxy S5! : [Thank you.]

Li Zhi opened the trading area, but instead of searching for fertilizer, he withdrew the money from selling fluorescent spores last night.

It was much less than the first night, only 971 copper coins.

After deducting the 97 copper handling fee, you only get 874 copper.

Even a small mosquito is still meat. Li Zhi watched as the money in his wallet increased from 3103015 copper coins to 3103889 copper coins, and his gloomy mood vanished.

Money really can cure everything.

Li Zhi ran down to the cabin, opened the storage compartment, and dumped everything out of his backpack.

Various unused fuels, dried meat, animal hides, wild fruits collected from the wilderness market, and labels that haven't been sorted yet.

Li Zhixian reloaded the fuel and sent it to the engine room, where he replenished the fuel needed for a day's voyage as instructed.

Back in the warehouse, I sorted through the D brand's haul from the past two days.

First, regarding the blueprints, there are still five unused ones.

These are: optical crystal system blueprints, spaceship space expansion blueprints, spaceship module modification blueprints, and spaceship upgrade blueprints *2.

The optical crystal system is not needed for expansion and module modification due to insufficient materials, while the airship blueprints are for sale.

能源材料还剩下： 0.3单位红矿石、0.2单位天启微尘、1根火羽、1单位矿渣、12捆木材。

The cloud network also caught 0.3 units of Apocalypse Dust, and she now has 0.5 units of Apocalypse Dust. With another copy card, she can get 2 Apocalypse Crystals.

In terms of tools, there are also: 3 copy cards, 1 shield one-time talent card, 1 summon card, and 1 slow one-time talent card.

The one-time use talent card for telepathy has been used, but the number of uses is still available.

食品方面还剩下：50g盐、15斤米、5袋酸汤肥牛方便麵、3桶老坛酸菜牛肉麵、一包火锅底料、1.5L水、 1个肉鬆麵包、1包辣条、1包吐司 、1份牛排、1盒肥牛卷、1包棒棒糖、150g巧克力、1个西红柿、1盒鸡蛋、一包麵粉、1包燕麦。

Food items that have already been opened, such as milk, toast, water, and luncheon meat, cannot be restored to their card state; they are currently in the upstairs kitchen.

药品几乎没怎幺动：1盒16颗消炎药、9颗感冒药、2支抗生素、2瓶维生素D、1个温度计、纱布。

The remaining untouched clothes include 3 sets of winter coats and 1 down jacket.

Upstairs on the sofa, there were clothes she had changed out of yesterday, clothes she had bought in the trading area, etc., covering half of the sofa. That should be enough for her for the time being.

These supplies are a lot, but also a little.

If extreme cold is coming, this amount of fuel will be far from enough.

Li Zhi just did some calculations.

She currently has only three types of fuel: wood, algae, and a mixed fuel that she collected in Black Iron Harbor.

Charcoal has a calorific value of approximately 35 MJ/kg, which is approximately equal to 9.7 kWh/kg.

The calorific value of oil algae is about 40 MJ/kg, which is approximately equal to 11.1 kWh/kg.

The calorific value of the blended fuel can reach 45 MJ/kg, which is approximately 12.5 kWh/kg.

The fuel consumption rate is around 25%.

Effective power = fuel energy * thermal efficiency.

A 25% efficiency means that 1 kg of fuel produces 10 MJ of mechanical energy.

1 kWh = 3.6 MJ.

Therefore, 1 kg of fuel is approximately equal to 2.78 kWh of mechanical energy.

Fuel consumption corresponding to different power outputs:

The hovering speed is 1.08 kg/h, the cruising speed is 3.6 kg/h, and the full speed is 9.0 kg/h.

In addition to the energy consumption of the constant temperature system and the different energy consumption caused by temperature differences, the average heating oil consumption is taken as 0.3 kg/h.

If we calculate based on the following: hovering for 20 hours, cruising for 4 hours, and maintaining a constant temperature for 24 hours, the fuel consumption is approximately 43 kg per day.

Li knew neither when the extreme cold would arrive nor how long it would last.

We also need to consider the impact of temperature differences on fuel consumption.

Therefore, she needs at least two months' worth of fuel, or 3000 units, to feel secure.

The amount of fuel we have right now is far too little.

Li Zhi suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

I had originally planned to take a good rest, study the spaceship operation manual, and make further plans after the novice period ended tomorrow at noon.

But now fuel is running low. Although reason tells her that the extreme cold can't possibly strike immediately after the novice period ends, Li Zhi can't sit still any longer.

She quickly sorted and put her things away, taking what she needed and storing the rest in the warehouse, then rushed upstairs to the second floor.

I changed my clothes, put on a merchant's cloak, and opened the profession panel:

[Shop: Blacklisted Shop]

[Businessman: Li Zhi]

Store rating: 0

[Shop Anchor Points: 1. Wilderness Market; 2. Black Iron Harbor;]

[Shop Status: Free Stall]

[Shop Equipment: Merchant's Cloak, Merchant's Backpack, Fair Scale]

Li Zhi clicked on "Wilderness Market".

[Do you want to teleport to the Wilderness Market?]

"Yes."
