By noon the next day, the number of solar panels had increased to 65, generating about 260 kilowatt-hours of electricity per day.

Who could have imagined that electricity would start to be more than enough? However, this was also because the current number of industrial equipment was not large enough. Once the camp expanded, electricity would definitely become scarce again.

Cannot be complacent!

Lu Yuan first had Shen Quan adjust the angle of all the solar panels, and then connected fuel tanks to both methane generators.

After starting them, the camp's total power generation capacity finally exceeded 100KW at this moment.

【Main Quest: Development II Completed; Quest Objective: Build at least 100 kilowatt-level power generation facilities, earn 20 Exchange Points】

【Main Quest: Development III Activated, Quest Objective: Build at least 1 megawatt (1000 kilowatt) level power generation facilities】

Now, Lu Yuan had accumulated 73 points, and exchanging for a large 3D printer was just around the corner.

However, he decided to spend 10 points first to purchase the 【Maintenance Station】 that had been in the Supplies Shop since the first day.

A large 3D printer requires a sufficiently large and safe factory space, so moving was clearly more urgent.

After confirming the purchase, the Maintenance Station appeared in the cargo bay of the aerospace plane. It was a large toolbox, 3 meters high, 3.5 meters long, and 2 meters wide, containing intelligent maintenance tools.

Lu Yuan patted Shen Quan on the shoulder.

"Kid, come with me."

Walking into the cargo bay, Shen Quan's eyes widened in surprise.

"Executive Officer, I don't remember you manufacturing something like this. Is this... magic?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Overly developed technology does indeed look like magic."

"Is that so..."

"Yes. Alright, stop standing there, open it with me."

"Okay!"

The toolbox opened, and the contents inside made even Lu Yuan feel a surge of pleasant surprise.

They were three "Worker Ant" light industrial exoskeletons!

It weighed 80 kilograms in total, moved slowly, and could increase the wearer's upper body strength by at least 300 kilograms.

In addition, its left and right arms integrated a variety of tools. The most commonly used electric screwdriver, pliers, and wrenches went without saying. There were also plasma cutting, drilling, and welding equipment, high-frequency vibrating single-molecule blades, laser measurement and calibration, structural adhesive and sealant cartridges, and classic engineering tape, making it look like a high-tech humanoid Swiss Army knife.

But that wasn't the main point.

The main point was that this kind of industrial exoskeleton also had AI assistance, which could greatly improve the wearer's skill level!

According to the manual, even someone who had never done any woodworking could, after wearing it, saw down several trees, slice them, and build a beautiful small wooden house within 4 hours.

This thing is a bit fierce...

Lu Yuan went to get the scanner, and after scanning, he obtained its complete set of engineering blueprints.

The industrial exoskeleton was quite advanced. It used two types of batteries. One was a metal-hydrogen battery fixed in the toolbox, with an energy density 20 times that of the high-performance lithium-ion battery on the aerospace plane. It supplied power to the exoskeleton through a cable and could last for 30 hours at full power.

The other was a full-nitrogen anion battery pack on the back, with an energy density 10 times that of lithium-ion batteries, and could last for 4 hours at full power.

These two types of batteries were basically the limit below nuclear energy; it was unlikely there would be chemical batteries with higher energy density than them.

Obtaining their blueprints was extremely important for the development of the camp!

In addition, the ultra-high temperature plasma generator and single-molecule blade technology on the exoskeleton also had the potential for weaponization in the future.

Moreover, as long as the joint cushioning and control motor power of the industrial mecha were modified, it was not impossible to design a military exoskeleton.

In short, a huge profit.

Lu Yuan immediately put it on to experience it, walked towards the wreckage of an all-terrain vehicle not far away, and decided to try the plasma cutting function first.

After entering the operation mode, the exoskeleton mask activated, and AR-enhanced cutting guide lines appeared on the object to be cut.

"Arm has reached the optimal cutting position, please maintain the current distance and cut along the red line."

"Insufficient cutting depth, please patiently follow the movement of the red dot, slow down the cutting speed to 70% of the current speed... Cutting completed."

A clear and gentle voice reached Lu Yuan's ears.

So that's how it is...

After wearing the exoskeleton, the hand would not only not shake randomly but would also have assistance correction, just like being taught hand-in-hand by an experienced master. As long as one could understand human speech, they could learn by following.

Soon after, Guo Li Cheng and Xue Jie returned from clearing a dungeon, and the male player group also started to come online.

"Wow! What is this?!"

Ye Xing spotted the new toys at a glance.

"Just three sets of industrial exoskeletons. They slid out of the cargo bay during the forced landing and were just found in the Desert," Lu Yuan explained seriously and forcefully, "Wearing this will greatly improve our technician proficiency."

"Oh... yes, yes," the young players exchanged glances, "We understand, we understand!"

In their opinion, this was clearly the planner realizing the game was too realistic and the difficulty was too high, so they temporarily made a hidden change and released an online patch.

What do you guys understand...

Lu Yuan was speechless.

"In short, everyone, work harder and repair the jet engines as quickly as possible."

The rare metals had been collected, and the crane components had also started to be printed.

At night, Guo Li Cheng and Xue Jie went offline to go to work. The male players worked together to build the crane, and after a whole night of work, they finally removed all four jet engines.

The next day, the replacement parts were ready.

Next, the engines needed to be disassembled to install these replacement parts.

A small number of parts, including fuel pipes, needed to be welded. Even with the industrial exoskeleton on, this task was still somewhat difficult.

"I should be able to try."

Xue Jie, who had always been a woman of few words, volunteered.

"I did a lot of experiments during college, so I at least practiced steady hands."

"I want to try too, Executive Officer!" Caoyuan stepped forward and saluted.

"I used to learn how to repair various weapons and vehicles. Although the difficulty is definitely not comparable to repairing jet engines, I at least have some foundation."

Good! Very energetic!

"Okay, approved. You two can practice on the all-terrain vehicle wreckage first," Lu Yuan said.

"That..." Shen Quan, who had been listening in, raised his hand, "Executive Officer, I have learned electric welding. I think the feel of plasma welding should be quite similar. If you allow it, I can also help!"

"You know electric welding?" Guo Li Cheng was startled, "But how old are you? Only about 15, right?"

"16 years old," Shen Quan said proudly.

"I've been an apprentice at various positions in Red Iron Town since I was 6 years old. My grandfather wanted me to be familiar with all the production processes in the town, to know them like the back of my hand! So that in the future I can... cough, become an excellent worker."

Everyone present heard it. Shen Quan's grandfather was likely the Town Chief of Red Iron Town.

Well, well, well, you with the thick eyebrows and big eyes, you're actually a "second-generation official."

However, no one exposed him.
