For humanity, burn the stars.

When Qin Heling walked out of the captain's cabin and came to the construction motherboard, he ran into [Painkiller] and [Li Erniu], who were grimacing and fiddling with the control panel.

Seeing them searching frantically at the panel, Qin Heling casually asked:

"What's wrong? Can't you find what you need to make?"

The various items that can be redeemed with points here were all selected and placed on the site by Qin Heling based on the conditions.

After all, this machine can build so many things, it's practically a massive amount, and if you put them all on it, the players simply won't be able to see them all.

Even if you were to study the exchange system full-time, it wouldn't be possible to review it all in just a few days.

Therefore, there are often quite a few items that players want to redeem but are not on the list.

If they happen to run into him or come looking for him, Qin Heling will always help him search through the blueprints.

He would add anything that could be produced to the mother bed.

Of course, items that are too extravagant, or weapons that are restricted or cannot be directly produced, cannot be shipped.

Players who know about this regard it as a mechanic and call it "restocking".

Upon seeing Qin Heling emerge, Li Erniu was still somewhat bewildered, but Zhitongyao's eyes lit up, knowing there was hope.

He quickly went to Qin Heling's side and asked anxiously:

"Captain, I'd like to ask if our ship's motherboard can produce milling machines?"

Qin Heling was taken aback at first, then looked at Li Erniu beside her, seemingly lost in thought.

Goodness, this group of players even includes a milling machine operator?

As for the milling machine they asked about...

Qin Heling thought for a moment and, seeing that the surplus of metal resources brought from the Star Sea Federation seemed adequate, nodded to them.

"If you really have this technology, then you can certainly give it a try."

Upon hearing this, Li Erniu immediately patted his chest.

"Hey, Captain, if we had a milling machine, I think it would definitely come in handy."

"At that time, we will be able to contribute more to the unity of humankind."

This was something [Painkiller] had taught him before; anyway, in situations like this, it's easier for the captain to say something about making a contribution.

However, it must be of some use, otherwise there's no way to get Qin Heling to agree.

Immediately, Li Erniu and Painkiller looked at Qin Heling expectantly.

To be honest, it doesn't matter if I can't use a whole milling machine.

He can make things by hand by simply exchanging points for metal and then processing them into boring tools, lathe tools, milling cutters, and workbenches.

Anyway, at worst it just takes a little longer and the accuracy is also much worse.

But if you could actually add a new milling machine to the list, the efficiency would be completely different.

Qin Heling smiled and nodded, then checked the total points for [Painkillers] through the backend.

With only 260 points... then let's not go for CNC machining, let's just make a regular hand-cranked milling machine.

Qin Heling selected a blueprint for a hand-cranked milling machine of suitable size and function from the seed ignition system and input it into the manufacturing master machine.

When the notification sounded, [Painkiller] immediately looked at it excitedly and found that it would cost 250 points to redeem.

It could be said that it would almost empty his entire savings, and for a moment he felt a pang of heartache.

But after thinking for a moment, he cautiously asked Qin Heling again:

"Captain, now that we have steel, shouldn't we start developing a currency?"

"Will we be able to trade freely by then?"

Knowing what the painkiller was worried about, Qin Heling simply replied:

"The economic system is of great significance, and there is indeed a demand for free trade."

"So, there's no need to worry about creating something that will be useless."

"Of course, transactions themselves need to be regulated and conducted in a reasonable manner."

With Qin Heling's reply, [Painkiller] no longer hesitated and gritted her teeth to invest all her points.

Production of the motherboard began, and soon a hand-operated milling machine came into view.

Li Erniu couldn't sit still, so he directly tried out the milling machine and was immediately amazed.

Although it is just a fairly ordinary hand-operated milling machine, its design is quite different from that in reality.

Perhaps... it's more reasonable and advanced than reality?

He has worked with many milling machines in real life, but this one is designed to be so handy and is very easy to operate.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, Li Erniu discovered that the structure was completely flawless.

It's important to know that in order to save computing power, games often use textures or similar methods to cover up insignificant parts and reduce workload.

But when faced with this milling machine, Li Erniu swore that he could even disassemble it completely, and that each part would be perfectly fine.

This is amazing; it proves that the game's realism has reached a terrifying level.

Could it be that those spaceships and other technologies are based on some kind of scientific basis?!

Not knowing what the other party was thinking, Qin Heling pondered for a moment and decided to pay attention to this special talent.

If players have special skills, they can actually make use of them.

After all, crafting a mother bed isn't suitable for every use, so let those players handle the small things they need themselves.

With this in mind, Qin Heling issued a special task to [Li Erniu].

[Special Mission: Study]

The Seed of Fire system contains important knowledge left behind by Earth.

Learn and master the knowledge within to further enhance your skills.

[Task Requirements: Master a series of technologies including steelmaking, forging, and casting]

[Reward: This is a long-term task; rewards will be given based on progress.]

Upon seeing this, Li Erniu was overjoyed.

He had always enjoyed tinkering with these things, but it was never very convenient in reality. Now he could finally do it freely.

In fact, much of the basic knowledge in the seeding system is open.

Players are free to learn, but there are no rewards; those who are interested can study it on their own.

But issuing this task at this moment is naturally because Qin Heling intends to cultivate the other party.

After all, casual gamers also need it.

The mechanical mother bed is now restricted from producing weapons, and as players expand their reach, conflict with other creatures is a foreseeable future.

At that time, players will be able to showcase their skills in various ways.

Of course, all of this cannot be entirely left to the players to do.

Let me just give you an example: if they raise prices arbitrarily, the other players definitely won't stand for it.

Therefore, Qin Heling had to restrict and restrain them.

Not only them, but other players who want to start their own businesses will also have to go through regulation.

Qin Heling was just about to explain the rules to them when she was suddenly startled.

Because of the prompt from the Seed Fire system, it seems that his players have had their first direct conflict with Lovisa.

A slight unease settled in Qin Heling's heart, but her expression remained unchanged as she casually remarked to them:

"You can't just do manufacturing and production arbitrarily; you need to go through certain approval processes."

"Next, you just need to report to Adela."

After saying that, Qin Heling walked back to the captain's cabin to check the situation on the other side.
