Chapter 226 Expansion and Upgrade
Yang Yi and Su Na walked around the deck and had a deeper understanding of the changes in the Nightmare Star.

Not only has the hull become larger, the texture of the entire ship has changed, and the feeling of stepping on it is completely different.
And there are more plants on the deck, mainly vines and weeds.
Su Na pulled one.
[Name: Bone Mound Weed]
[Introduction: Weeds can be found everywhere on the ground, but this one grows on bones, slightly poisonous, and eating it will cause diarrhea. ]
Su Na picked a few plants and prepared to take them back to the laboratory for examination to see if there is any potential value.
And she also cut a few vines, causing these living vines to consciously avoid her now.
The area of the atrium has become very large, almost twice as large as before.
In the middle is still the familiar huge crystal ball, covered with some thick tree roots and vines on the surface, firmly fixed to the deck.
The mast has become two, and the sail is made of green vines, leaves, and ancient arms hidden in it.
This sail has a new feature, which will change the position of the sail according to the direction of light, just like a sunflower.
There is a large room at the stern, which is no longer a hatch leading directly to the cabin.
However, it is very empty inside and can be used as a utility room to store some frequently used materials and tools.
The hatch is also in this room, and it has become a door like a well, and when it is opened, there is a vertical staircase going down.
"There are two floors?"
Su Na saw something wrong at a glance, and hurriedly checked the ship interface and carefully checked the cabin structure.
Yang Yi climbed down the stairs.
In terms of a single floor, the cabin height is not as good as before, and each floor is about five meters high.
But with two floors together, the capacity space is much larger than before.
Yang Yi took a look at each floor and checked it.
The ancient war room is located on the first floor, and the muzzle is at a higher position on both sides of the ship, so that the shells can fly farther. (It was late when they fell into the sea)
The previous supplies, such as food, sea salt, oil, charcoal, etc., were all moved to the second floor, and nothing was missing.
This arrangement is quite good, with one floor dedicated to the warehouse and the other floor for easy movement.
However, the changes in the witch laboratory are too big. It has also become a two-story structure, connected to the cabin, and there are doors on the first and second floors.
Yang Yi pushed the door and walked in.
Su Na was already inside, and the first thing she did when she came down was to check the witch laboratory.
The first floor is almost the same as the previous witch laboratory. Everything is there, but there is an extra hole in the corner.
In the center of the hole, there is a vine that goes down vertically, connecting to the next floor, just enough for people to pass through.
This structure is the same as the rappelling pole in the fire station, used for fast descent.
But the vines here are alive and will automatically rise and fall, and people just need to hold on firmly.
Yang Yi followed Su Na and came to the second floor of the witch laboratory.
This floor is relatively empty, with nothing except a metal table.
"This lab is almost twice as big as before." Yang Yi sighed after seeing it.
Among all the expansion buildings, the witch lab has changed the most.
Suna also affirmed this, but then she changed the subject.
"To maintain a lab with doubled area, it is naturally necessary to double the research funds. Do you think you should give me more money?"
"Uh..."
Yang Yi paused, feeling that he shouldn't have mentioned this.
But he never skimped on Suna's research funds.
After transferring 500,000 conch coins on the spot, he quickly fled the lab.
..............
Yang Yi checked the list of expansion buildings.
Except for the witch lab, the expansion buildings, including the ancient war room*2 and the watchtower, can be upgraded to level three.
Among them, the ancient war room requires: wood*300, stone*300, steel*500, sulfur*500.
The watchtower requires: crystal*1000, stone*200
These materials can be bought from other players with conch coins, and the conch coins on hand are enough.
Yang Yi was not in a hurry to upgrade, and checked the list of expansion buildings that can be built.
In addition to the great statue, additional warehouse, and glazed cannon, there is another building, and it is a special building that cannot be upgraded.
[Execution rack: a special building of the Nightmare, where different prey can be displayed on the execution rack to obtain different bonuses.
Construction conditions: expansion space*2, wood*10000, cloth*10000, steel*5000, one prey (can be replaced at any time)]

"Expansion building of the Nightmare..."
Yang Yi fell into deep thought.
Since the two ships merged, the only feature of the Astrology is the crystal ball, which has almost been replaced by the Nightmare.
This upgrade also brought about the special building of the Nightmare.
Could it be that the ability of the Astrology was swallowed up by the Nightmare?
Yang Yi couldn't make a judgment because there was no second combined ship at present.
But Shen Guanquan might have information about special buildings because he upgraded the Farmer to level 4.
So Yang Yi sent a private message to ask.
"Special building?
The Sun Breeding Room on the Farmer is a special building, which will be available after upgrading to level 3." Shen Guanquan replied.
Yang Yi figured it out.
The levels at which special ships unlock special buildings are different, so the special buildings on the Astrology will probably need to be further upgraded before they can be unlocked.
Yang Yi hung up the call and started to buy materials for upgrading.
The next building he planned to build was naturally a special building, the execution rack.
This building should be much stronger than ordinary expansion buildings and should be built first, such as the witch laboratory.
Yang Yi returned to the deck and began to buy materials needed to upgrade the building.
Because there are fewer ways to obtain materials, they can basically only be obtained by fishing and Gachapon, so the price of materials has increased.
The price of basic materials such as wood, stone, and cloth has reached 7 conch coins per unit, and advanced materials such as steel, crystal, and sulfur have reached 32 conch coins per unit.
Yang Yi bought some extra, spending a total of 423,000 conch coins to purchase all the materials needed for the upgrade.
Considering the 500,000 conch coins given to Suna, he has 820,000 conch coins left.
He has to be more frugal.
Then he started to upgrade these expansion buildings.
After the ancient war room was upgraded, the number of guns doubled directly, from two guns on one side to four guns on one side.
And the caliber is also larger than before, with a range of 400 meters.
After the upgrade of the lookout, the scanning range became larger, reaching 1,800 nautical miles, and it would also provide information about the island, including its shape and area.
Yang Yi tried it and the effect was good, equivalent to a temporary sea map.
Once out of the fertile sea area, this lookout will provide great convenience for exploration.
Finally, there is the execution rack.
Yang Yi built this special building and found that it was the building on the top of the mast.
It happened to be located on another mast, and its top became an inverted cross, covered with blood and hung with rusty iron wire, and the iron wire was full of barbs.
Yang Yi was going to try its effect and hang something on it to see.
And he also got the conditions for the upgrade of the Nightmare Star to level 4, only one, 30,000 crystal diamonds.
