"Let's plant some rubber trees first… "
Rubber can be said to be the core of the Industrial 2 mod, and the rubber tree branches found in other worlds are directly digitized.
Then, Yang Tao took out many materials from his backpack and synthesized some 'drip planter pots', placing them on the box.
He spread soil and planted saplings.
A miniature rubber tree began to grow wildly in the pot. The rubber tree looked similar to a common oak, except its trunk was darker in color and had some yellow spots on it.
He didn't plant many, stopping after only about twenty trees. Yang Tao looked at the rubber tree saplings, which took 5 minutes to grow each time, and murmured:
"The speed is a bit slow…"
Such a boastful statement, if heard by rubber plantation owners who take six or seven years to officially harvest rubber, would likely give them a brain hemorrhage.
He took out the time bottle, aimed it at the potted plant, and silently willed it to be used. Instantly, a white magic circle appeared above the potted plant.
Ding… Ding… Ding…
Accompanied by the cheat-like sounds, the oak saplings grew as if on drugs. After waiting quietly for a while, he opened the box and took out the rubber inside.
'I still need to make an extractor first, otherwise this little resin really won't be enough…'
Normally, in Industrial 2, one can first make a pulverizer to increase ore output, but Yang Tao habitually makes an extractor first, so that the resin can enjoy the joy of triple output earlier.
First, he crafted a forging hammer.
This tool can smash ores into plates, thereby acting as a compressor. If it weren't a consumable, it could completely replace the compressor.
After a series of operations deeply ingrained in his memory, Yang Tao crafted a geothermal generator and an extractor.
Buzzing…
The Industrial 2 machines hummed as they operated.
"Is the next mod supposed to give some pipes?"
With pipes, automation truly begins, but he's not lacking now, at least he has Villagers.
He walked to the box next to the ore sifter, opened it, and looked at the considerable amount of uranium ore inside, and not a single iridium ore.
"No iridium ore from sifting? Isn't this a joke? Do I have to go mining?"
Ever since he got the 'Ex Nihilo' mod, Yang Tao no longer wanted to mine. Mining was disrespecting Ex Nihilo.
However, he didn't know if it was because the drop rate for iridium ore was too low, or if it simply wasn't available at all.
At least he hadn't seen a single iridium ore in his box.
"Forget it, if it can't be sifted, then it can't be sifted. UU-Matter activated!"
UU-Matter is a special substance in the Industrial 2 mod. It can be used to craft other items through certain crafting recipes.
For example, iridium ore, diamonds, and other materials.
The Matter Fabricator is a machine that can create UU-Matter. It can be accelerated by using scrap. Without scrap, creating one UU-Matter requires 1,000,000 EU of electricity; with continuous scrap, creating one UU-Matter requires 166,666 EU of electricity.
Overall, it is a means of creating matter using electricity.
Yang Tao looked at the slow-growing rubber trees, then glanced at the uranium ingots in the box, and immediately had an idea.
Using materials, he crafted the basic machines from the Industrial 2 mod: a pulverizer and a compressor. He connected them with hoppers to create a semi-automated setup. After that, Yang Tao ignored them, turned around, and used gunpowder and uranium ingots to craft hundreds of nuclear bombs.
'Just make do for now…'
Compared to Industrial 2 nuclear bombs, Yang Tao still preferred real-world nuclear bombs. Speaking of which, he couldn't help but admire the craftsmanship of the Japanese, who worked at five thousand degrees Celsius without a single complaint.
That was the epitome.
With the nuclear bombs loaded into his backpack, Yang Tao's restless heart finally found some solace.
"While the machines are running, I'll go see where the New World is…"
Rubber trees take time to grow, and pulverizing also takes time. Even later, UU-Matter fabrication takes time.
Yang Tao didn't want to make too many identical machines; overproduction wouldn't have much meaning. He might as well explore other worlds or take a nap.
Leaving the "Girl's Last Tour" world, he arrived in front of three wooden doors without signs. Yang Tao, who didn't suffer from choice paralysis, directly chose the closest wooden door, pushed it open, and walked in.
Inside was a white room, with a hospital bed and a washbasin. Other than that, the room was empty.
A woman was standing at the door of the ward, holding two wires and diligently fiddling with the lock, apparently trying to leave the ward. Yang Tao closed the wooden door behind him, and the sound of the door closing caused an instinctive reaction from the woman. She quickly turned around without a word and kicked him in the abdomen.
Yang Tao calmly extended his hand to block her attack, and looking at the somewhat haggard woman in front of him, he smiled and said, "What a special welcoming ceremony."
[World Exploration increased by 15%]
Without a doubt, the woman's identity was either the protagonist or an important supporting character.
The woman in front of him looked to be in her thirties, wearing a hospital gown, and her hair was messy as if it hadn't been cared for in a long time.
Yang Tao couldn't recall her identity for a moment, so he just smiled and asked:
"Excuse me, where is this place?"
"A mental hospital…"
The woman replied while using her leg, which Yang Tao had blocked, to execute a beautiful spinning kick.
However, Yang Tao extended his hand and grabbed her other kicking leg, then holding both of the woman's legs, he pushed her like a stroller, completely rendering her unable to resist.
"A mental hospital? Good place… Excuse me, what's your name?"
'A female protagonist spawning in a mental hospital, that's rare…'
"Let go of me!"
"You answer my question first, and I'll consider whether to let go."
"You…"
"You don't have a choice, do you?"
The woman, with her hands on the ground, heard Yang Tao's words and her face turned incredibly ugly.
"Sarah…"
Releasing the woman, Yang Tao murmured her name twice. Suddenly, a name appeared in his mind.
"John Connor's mother? Terminator?!"
The woman's heart tightened when she heard Yang Tao say her son's name. She stared at Yang Tao and attacked again, but Yang Tao, already knowing which world he was in, simply waved his hand and sent the woman flying.
"Sarah, I hit women…"
"Alright, I know what's going on now. From your appearance, you're still in the mental hospital. We should go. Skynet has already sent a T1000 Terminator to this world. Your son is in danger."
"Furthermore, I can take you down in less than a second. What you need to do now is stay by my side. I can not only protect your safety but also your son's."
Sarah was the bait to attract the Terminator. As long as he and Sarah were together, the T1000 would naturally come to them. Otherwise, he would have to search the world for people like the Terminator.
"Who are you?"
