"A camera? You can transfer maps from your computer to it; it only takes a few minutes."
"Really? That's great. Let's transfer the map to it first."
Senju placed the camera in front of the robot, and then saw its other forelimb start operating. Soon the camera lit up, displaying the words "Transmitting".
After a while, the robot retracted its forelimbs, and the surrounding machines gradually stopped. After taking the camera, Qian Shou saw that it was displaying a map, which could be zoomed in and out by tapping it a few times.
Then Senju and the robot returned to the room filled with items. The water on the stove had boiled. Senju took the kettle down and put it aside, while the robot switched to standby mode and stopped on the side of the pressure plate.
After taking out an iron cup, Senju poured in some boiling water and waited to drink it. This allowed him to look at the map for the time being. After locating the tower and the facility, he began to search for the surrounding buildings.
He explored little by little, recording the approximate location on the white paper in the book with dye. The surrounding buildings gradually became clear, and the white paper was filled with the names of various buildings. Cold storage, electric heating plant, power station, museum, library, warehouse and these buildings were what he was most interested in now.
After tearing off the paper covered with the map and putting it in the package, the map was surprisingly recognized by the system and transformed into a real map. Looking at the map, which was countless times clearer, Qian Shou was very happy. He had finally created an item recognized by the system.
Although he was very interested in these buildings, Senju decided to replenish his food first. He touched his water cup and found that it had cooled down, so he poured the water into the sink and then poured water from the kettle to drink. By then, the water in the kettle had become warm.
After drinking some water and eating some food, Senju saw that his hunger level was full, so he began his day's activities. First, he went to the small garden to check on the growth of the wheat he planted the night before, and then continued to collect items from inside the building.
After collecting all the items in this building, we will go to other facilities to collect items. Senju's wish is to revive this desolate world once we have collected enough items.
Chapter Four: Coal-Free Power Plants
After arriving at the small garden, Senju carefully observed the growth in the field. The wheat seeds that had just been planted last night had miraculously grown into wheat plants that were over ten centimeters tall. Upon closer inspection, she found that there were already some ears of wheat on them, but they were not yet ripe.
Senju was very satisfied with this phenomenon. With these farmlands that could quickly produce food, he would not have to worry about food shortages soon. Since he did not have a food shortage for the time being, he did not plan to use bone meal here, but saved it to wait for the seedlings.
After observing the farmland, Senju continued searching for items. Now with a steel pickaxe, Senju could break through the walls much faster, without having to rely on explosives to clear a path.
However, he still looked for the door first, and only after finding something suspicious did he carefully knock on the wall. In the process, Thousand Hands obtained the most concrete and steel blocks, which he planned to keep for use when building his own base.
As he swept through the houses, Senju often saw damaged robots. Some were broken and stopped, while others were intact but had no energy. Senju had no interest in these for the time being. Before he was able to control these robots, waking up one was already crazy enough.
Back then, he had just been alone for a while and impulsively decided to wake up the robot. Now, he has completely calmed down and thinks it's best to leave these machines alone for the time being.
This place truly lives up to its reputation as a weapons research center. Senju often finds rooms piled high with weapons, but so far only he has taken some; the rest are just sitting here, slowly gathering dust.
Senju had already hastily collected most of the facility's supplies. Just as he continued his search, a door blocked his way, and he paused for a moment before it.
Then, he turned and left.
The reason for leaving was seeing a familiar symbol on the gate: a black circle in the center surrounded by three identical black fan-shaped patterns, resembling a black clover or a black fan. However, Senju knew this was no ordinary object; it represented nuclear weapons or facilities ahead.
After hastily collecting his belongings, Senju decided to leave. Although he knew he would still be threatened in the city, he didn't want to get too close.
Before leaving, Senju first went to check his farmland. The wheat there was ripe. Senju carefully tapped three wheat plants and obtained three wheat plants and five wheat seeds. Then he took back the water source and collected the soil from the ground, finding that there were as many as thirty-seven pieces.
After collecting the items from the storage room into her bag, leaving only the pressure plate and a pile of junk, Senju wanted to invite the robot to travel with her, as its abilities would be very useful to her.
"I'm leaving now. Do you want to come with me?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I am a robot here and cannot leave this facility."
"Really? Well then, I'll come to see you often."
In the end, he did not force the other party to leave with him. After all, the outside environment was too unfriendly to a robot. The snow would corrode its body, and the rough road would wear down its parts. If he was not careful, it would be destroyed.
Senju had no choice but to go find his little car to leave. Only then did he realize that his little car had changed completely. The originally simple little car was now a luxurious one.
This little car now has an extra wheel in the front, with handlebars that can be freely adjusted for direction. There's also a seat in the back where the rider can sit and use their feet to press the pressure plate. A basket is also attached to the back of the seat for storing items. Moreover, the entire vehicle isn't simply tied together; it's welded together.
"Did you make this? Thank you so much."
"You're welcome. I'm the one who should be apologizing for altering your items without permission."
"Don't say that. You did a great job with the modifications. I didn't expect you could do all that."
"Thank you for the compliment. I just borrowed the structure from a normal vehicle."
"Really? Anyway, thank you very much. I have to leave now. Take care."
Goodbye, I hope to see you again.
Goodbye, we'll definitely meet again.
Thousand Hands slowly drove away in the car, while the robot behind him remained on standby.
After leaving the facility, Senju opened the map to search for his target. In addition to the facility that Senju had recorded before, there were many more locations on the map. However, Senju's target was the nearby power plant, where he wanted to obtain some coal and fuel.
After driving for a while, Senju finally arrived at the power plant. It seemed to still be running, with the roar of the machines continuing, still supplying energy to this desolate city.
Shortly after entering, Senju spotted the familiar symbols again. He then realized that he hadn't seen any plumes of smoke rising from the power plant. And the best way to supply energy to such a city was still nuclear power. Somewhat unwilling, Senju continued searching other places.
He searched the workers' dormitories, office buildings, and dilapidated warehouses, and finally found traces of coal in a small exhibition hall.
It was inside a glass display case, with large pictures behind it, seemingly about coal-fired power generation. On one side of the case, there was a small windmill model with pictures of wind power generation behind it; on the other side, there was a model of a dam cut in the middle with pictures of hydropower generation behind it; and there was a solar panel with pictures of solar power generation behind it.
However, the reason they were here was simple: they had all been replaced by nuclear power. Thousand Hands tried it, and the booth was opened easily. After putting away the coal, he took out the solar panel and put it in the package. However, this was not the photosensitive panel he wanted, so he put the solar panel back.
After looking around, Senju decided to leave. However, before leaving, he had already used the coal. A piece of coal and a stick produced four torches, which were still burning.
Looking at the four torches in the package, Qian Shou felt that this harvest was good. From now on, he could grow crops outside without worrying about snow covering them or water freezing.
However, it wasn't time to farm yet. After leaving the power plant, it gradually got dark. After driving for a while, Senju found a house in a roadside building and settled down. He also set up a platform with lights on the roadside, hoping that someone would see it.
Chapter Five: The Decaying Cold Storage
After sleeping through the night, Senju woke up, as usual, boiled some water, ate some food, and slowly tidied up his belongings before going out.
When Senju went outside, the snow was still piled up, and the sky brightened. He then discovered that no one had touched the mark he had made. However, he was not disappointed. After all, he had called out countless times and left marks in many places, but no one had responded. This situation was just normal. If someone appeared now, it would startle him.
Opening the map, Qian Shou determined today's target: this city.
There was a cold storage facility there, which used to be a link in the supply chain for the entire city's food, but it's unknown whether there are any supplies left now.
A layer of snow covered the wide road, but this was not an obstacle for Senju. Instead, it was the debris that had fallen from the buildings on one side that slowed him down. Looking at the large and small pieces of debris on the road, Senju knew that the city's fate was only destruction.
Without human maintenance, the entire city loses its meaning and protection. These skyscrapers may still stand here, but they will eventually collapse, and these fragments are just a harbinger.
After driving for a while, Senju arrived at the cold storage, but the scene before him was very disappointing. It should have been a tall warehouse, but now it was in a mess. Its doors and windows, like the building outside, had been removed, leaving only dark gaps. Half of the building had collapsed, and the other side was also in imminent danger.
Seeing this, Senju still decided to look for something useful. First, he went to the half-collapsed warehouse and searched it. It seemed that a lot of items had been stored there before, but now only the twisted steel frame was buried under the rubble.
The search was slow and fruitless. After much effort, they found several bags of powder that looked like grains, but upon closer inspection, they discovered that it was completely rotten and inedible. Thousand Hands continued to search the surrounding area and finally found a row of frozen, unidentified animal meat in a corner that wasn't too badly collapsed. Perhaps due to environmental factors, the raw meat hadn't completely rotted.
Although it wasn't completely rotten, it was no longer edible. Now, all they could do was rely on the system's power. Thousand Hands carefully began to pound the frozen meat, and after a while, it turned into a pile of rotten meat, bones, and pork.
Senju was delighted to have obtained two more materials; with these materials, he was one step closer to crafting a monster egg. After picking up all the items on the ground, he tallied his spoils: twenty bones, thirty-two pieces of rotten flesh, and thirteen pieces of pork.
After processing the bones into bone powder as usual, Senju decided to go and take a look at the half that hadn't collapsed. He carefully examined the intact half of the building and found no signs of collapse. He listened carefully and heard no creaking sounds, as if this half had achieved a new balance.
Senju cautiously crawled inside and entered each of the inner warehouses, only to find that they had already been ransacked, with no usable items left. Seeing this, Senju was very unhappy and decided to send one half to reunite with the other half.
After running out of the warehouse, he started setting up the mechanism by the wall. Although he had seen many detonation scenes, and that pressing a box-like object would detonate the explosives in the distance, Senju didn't know how to do it at all. So even though he had a similar detonator box, he still used his clumsy method to detonate it.
There was an explosive device and a pressure plate next to it. After running far away to build a cover, Senju lay on top of it and shot at the pressure plate. However, because his aim was too poor, he usually had to shoot dozens of times to hit it. But as his shooting experience improved, he would probably succeed easily in the future.
With the roar of gunfire, Senju, who had fired more than thirty bullets, finally hit the pressure plate. After seeing the explosives begin to flash, he immediately took cover behind a bunker. Then came a huge explosion, followed by the sound of buildings collapsing.
For a moment, debris flew everywhere, but perhaps due to the snow, there was not a lot of smoke and dust from the explosion. After a while, the sound completely stopped. When Senju came out of the bunker, he saw that the entire warehouse had completely collapsed.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Senju went over to collect his loot. Floating on the ruins after the explosion were blocks of various colors. Most of them were concrete blocks, some were iron blocks, and some were items like iron railings. Apart from these items that Senju had already collected, there were no other blocks floating around.
However, Senju continued his inspection, since some blocks wouldn't be revealed by the explosives and he needed to personally examine each suspicious item.
However, the explosion was probably too powerful, as the several refrigeration units that Senju found were completely destroyed. Looking at the debris and trash on the ground, Senju ended his treasure hunt. Although it didn't take much time, he was still very satisfied with his find.
Looking at the sun that was about to disappear outside, Senju decided to rest for a few days before looking for other places, and he would do farming for the next few days.
After finding an empty building, Thousand Hands began to renovate several rooms. After leveling the interior into a large space, he plugged up the gaps around the entrance, leaving only a steel door he had found before. Then he spread a layer of soil on one side, arranging it in a 3x6 plus 3x6 pattern, leaving a column empty in the middle. Finally, he placed the last piece at one end of this column, surrounded by a ring of concrete blocks. Finally, he placed a water source in the middle column.
After preparing the soil, Senju began to prepare the lights. Several prepared lights were connected to the pressure plate and emitted a bright light, illuminating the dim room. Then, after tidying up the soil with a hoe, Senju planted the wheat seeds.
This time he was going to use the bone meal he had. After keeping twenty, he had forty-nine left to use. After experimenting, he found that only two were needed to ripen one wheat stalk. After using ten, all the wheat had ripened.
It's matured.
After harvesting the wheat, Senju obtained five wheat and twelve seeds. After spending twenty-four bone meal, he had seventeen wheat and twenty-one seeds. The acquisition of wheat seeds seemed to be random, which worried Senju.
This time, Senju only used bone meal on three wheat plants on one side, but obtained eight seeds. After planting these, Senju stopped using bone meal to accelerate ripening.
Chapter Six: Ancient Museums
Looking at the twenty-odd wheat grains in her hand, Senju was initially pleased, but then realized that they were useless for now. Without a workbench, she couldn't make bread, so she hastily put them away to use later.
After looking at the wheat for a while, he left marks outside as arranged yesterday. After returning to the house and turning on the electric heater, he wrapped himself in a quilt and looked at the photos in the camera.
The camera contained many photos, seemingly having changed owners several times, with the subjects frequently alternating. However, the backgrounds were always beautiful and vibrant, with everyone dressed neatly and surrounded by many people—a far cry from the desolate world of today. Several videos also appeared within the camera, which Qian Shou slowly began to watch, gradually gaining an understanding of why the world had become the way it was.
Although the reason is unknown—perhaps food, power, or something else—war broke out in this technologically advanced world. The high-tech war was extremely efficient at slaughtering, consuming hundreds of millions of people in a single conflict. As the war continued to escalate, various banned weapons were introduced one by one, and life on the entire planet was wiped out.
Although Senju didn't know how long the war had lasted, he could only tell from the abandoned tanks and warplanes that it had been a long time. However, it seemed that there were no victors on the entire planet, and he didn't even know if the humans who dominated the planet were still around. As for other animals, Senju had only seen them in photos; he couldn't even find a mouse anywhere else.
Thinking about the city I'm in now, it was probably built by people before the war. It's great that it wasn't destroyed by nuclear bombs. But considering the current state of devastation, maybe they had even stronger and faster weapons.
As he watched, Senju gradually fell asleep. In his dream, he returned to his home. Although it was an ordinary home, it was surrounded by mountains and trees, animals and humans, and there was a real sun and peace. In his dream, he shed tears for this beautiful homeland.
Dreams always end. When Senju woke up, he found himself still surrounded by the same scene he had been sleeping. Looking around, he realized that he had sealed the entire room off, preventing any light from entering. Shaking his slightly groggy head, he thought he had a wonderful dream last night. Seeing that there was nothing to play with in the room, Senju decided to go out for a walk to relax.
After fiddling with the camera for a while, he learned how to take pictures. The first one was dedicated to his lovely wheat seedlings. After closing the door, Qian Shou rode his little bike around the city. Perhaps it was a psychological issue, but on the map, the place where he stayed last night was marked as his home. But that was fine, so he wouldn't get lost and have to come back.
Sitting in the car, Senju took pictures of the strange objects around him. Comical statues often appeared in the city. Although he didn't know who built them, the scene was quite comical. Everything was still there, but the humans had disappeared.
Slowly, Senju arrived in front of a peculiar building. It wasn't a typical high-rise, but a strange structure, like an exhibition hall, with many sculptures displayed outside. Senju got out of the car and knocked on them, discovering that they weren't made of steel.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these were all stone carvings. Perhaps these people were once very great, but in the eyes of the current Thousand Hands, these stones are much more important than the figures. However, before starting work, let's take a picture of them first. After taking the picture, he took out a steel pickaxe and began to hammer at the statues. The tall statues were quickly turned into stone blocks.
With excitement, Senju collected the stones. Among them were several round stones. Senju was happy to see a group of statues around him. He then started working on the second one, but this one was diorite. Then came granite. Finally, Senju's steel pickaxe did no damage to the statue. Upon closer inspection, it was all black. Could it be obsidian?
Seeing that he had found nothing outside, Senju went inside the building. It was undamaged and remained as it was. Once inside, Senju realized that it seemed to be a museum. Looking at the items inside, Senju decided to admire them before starting his work. He was all alone there, and his camera kept capturing the memories of this planet. There were many specimens inside, starting with fossils of ancient animals, then specimens of strange animals, then specimens of ordinary animals, and finally even insects and mice.
There are also many creations of human civilization here: ancient stone carvings, precious wood carvings, twisted steel sculptures, and various artworks are displayed in various stands. Finally, there is a glittering and exquisite treasure, but now no one cares about it.
On the other side, there were many plants. These trees, whether specially treated or made of plastic, still retained their verdant appearance. Qian Shou recorded these rare sights one by one.
After viewing the exhibits, Senju, steel axe in hand, got to work. His first target, as expected, was the trees. After smashing the glass blocking his path, he arrived at the plants. There was no...
There was an unusual smell. Qian Shou knocked on the tree trunk and found that the sound did not resemble wood.
However, at this point, he decided to kill all the plants. He knocked off the leaves one by one, but no apples or saplings fell out. All the leaves had been smashed. Suddenly, a white sapling appeared in front of Senju.
He nervously put it away, and after examining it, he discovered that it was a birch sapling. Then he found a spruce sapling. However, after smashing all the leaves, no other saplings appeared. After carefully examining the two fallen saplings, he realized that they were real trees. With a swift axe, he turned the two brave trees into pieces.
Senju stepped on the ground and found it was real soil. He then took out a birch sapling and planted it. Looking at the small sapling, Senju began to use bone powder to accelerate its growth. Soon, a square birch tree appeared there. From then on, the trees on this planet evolved into square shapes.
After harvesting the tree, Thousand Hands obtained three more saplings. Although it takes three bone meal to mature each time, he still had more than twenty. After maturing these three as well, Thousand Hands had more than twenty wooden blocks and eight saplings.
After planting two of them here, Senju also placed a water source in the middle of the trees, as a way of compensating for the loss, even though no one saw it or knew about it.
