Hello Everyone, a new work has been started called "Having a Father Like Me Is Truly Embarrassing" on my account. Please check it out.

This matter really can only rely on Sebastian, as there is no other way. Even at the current technological level, the most reliable primary sources of energy are still Oil and Coal. But Oil is not easy to extract, as it needs to be further refined. Sebastian assesses that on the trading channel, there may be no such thing. As for coal, there might be some, so he immediately took the things he needed and went on the trading channel.
"Need Oil or Coal, the more the better, trade for meat." Sebastian's post and it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
At this time, what most people lack the most is food, especially meat. Because the supernatural species developed by most Planetary Lords are all carnivorous, their consumption is very large.
Although it is said that in the trading channel, there are a lot of posts about deals, they are all looking for food. Few take out food, especially meat. Just for a moment, Sebastian received countless private messages. They were all asking how much Coal Sebastian needed.
"The more the better. One pound of meat is exchanged for one hundred pounds of Coal." Sebastian added another sentence to the post.
"A pound of meat can be exchanged for a hundred pounds of Coal?" This sentence made many people boil. Everyone seemed very excited. Coal? That's simply worthless. You will find them in treasure chests that many people open, but most use them to burn for warmth. Because the Level 1 territory is not as cold as the Level 0 territory, as most of the creatures are supernatural creatures with thick fur, there is no need for heating.
"I opened two treasure chests here, all of which are Coals. I thought I was unlucky, but I didn't expect to be able to exchange for meat, haha." A Planetary Lord was very excited and sent a private message.
"How much Coal do you have?" Sebastian asked.
"A total of 200 pounds can be exchanged for two pounds of meat."
"No problem, let's trade." He immediately made a deal with this person.
Because this is a trading channel, there is no need to worry about being scammed. Once the items of one party do not meet the conditions agreed upon in advance, the transaction will be automatically canceled.
"I only have one hundred pounds here." Another person sent a message.
"Then it can only be exchanged for a pound of meat," Sebastian replied.
"A pound is a pound, I didn't expect this thing to be able to exchange meat." This man is very happy.
Immediately, Sebastian also made a deal with this person. After the successful transaction of these two people, the other people who were still watching were immediately excited, and they sent messages to Sebastian. Although the probability of Coal appearing in the opened treasure chest is not high, they still do it.
Sebastian made more than 20 transactions and paid 30 pounds of Wolf meat. A Wild Wolf can have about a hundred pounds of meat, of course, that's counting the bones, so it is impossible to sell pure meat.
Then, Sebastian also found that someone was doing something in the trading channel. First, trade other items for Coal, and then sell the Coal to Sebastian. Sebastian was too lazy to pay attention. As long as it matches his price, then it won't matter so much. Next is non-stop trading; more and more Planetary Lords came after hearing the news. Coal is a thing that is useless for almost all Planetary Lords. If it can switch to meat, who wouldn't?
In less than an hour, Sebastian has already exchanged all the meat, in exchange for more than ten tons of Coal. The Coal here is very particular because it is an item in a treasure chest, the quality is very good, and there are few impurities.
There is no need to do anything. If the Coal alone is not enough, Sebastian made several more trading posts for the raw materials. These things are not used at all right now, the same with Coal, so it's easy to get them for a small price.
After getting a few thousand pounds, Sebastian suspended trading. Get these Coals and other stuff in exchange for Wolf meat and move to the territory. In the temporary warehouse of the territory, a pile of Coal and other things appeared out of thin air. Everyone who witnessed this scene was slightly surprised but reacted immediately.
"It's Coal." An old scientist's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to check it out. He nodded again and again: "The quality of these Coals is really good, and they can be used directly. Without oil, Coal will do. Oil may still need refining and other processes, which is too problematic."
"How long will these Coals last?" Catherine, who came to hear the news, asked.
"These Coals are estimated to be more than ten tons, so they should be able to last for quite a while." The old scientist made an estimate and said, "Then what kind of firearms are we going to produce next?"
"Semi-Automatic Rifle, more specifically, the AR-15," Catherine said. This problem was discussed because there are not enough bullets to take into account, so Automatic Rifles were ruled out. After sufficient resources are available, you can go up slowly. Soon, the gun-making project officially started.
After more than ten tons of coal, the people in the territory are full of energy. The ten Cybertronians became the key. One turns into a Coal generator and is used to provide electricity, while the other turns into various machines and is split into two groups. One group is making Guns and another group is making Ammunition. A set of basic industrial pipelines is formed.
Watching raw materials get swallowed by the machines, then spit out a complete Bullet, made everyone look a little dumbfounded.
"These machines are automated." The old scientist was quite excited: "We don't need to deal with it at all, and the performance and efficiency are much higher in all aspects."
Compared to ordinary machines, the Cybertronian machine has made many improvements to the original device. The Bullets produced are all good products, and no one needs to control them at all.
"I'm great". A Cybertronian said proudly.
"Shut up and give me the stuff." The Cybertronian leader shouted, and the thinner one didn't dare to make a sound.
Even Sebastian was amazed. This efficiency is much higher than expected. In a while, there were already a bunch of Bullets on the ground. Guns are slower, but they also produce a lot. Catherine immediately let people test the effect of these Rifles and Bullets. After the test, the performance is outstanding.
"Even if it is manufactured by our most advanced factory, it is impossible to have such good quality." The old scientist fired and praised it.
"That's not surprising." Catherine smiled and said, "The Cybertronian machine is an improvement of the original machine. It seems to be their innate talent. Okay, now we can start the next move."
The next step is, of course, to form a real exploration team to explore the lush forests surrounding the territory. Previously, due to safety concerns, they only explored within a hundred meters. The need to upgrade is three kilometers, and soon, the first official expedition team was established.
Alpin is the leader, and there are a hundred people. All of them are soldiers of the Astra Militarum. The Guardsmen sent are the elites among the elites. The hundred were armed with AR-15 Rifles and Bullets made by the Cybertronian.
At the same time, there are several Scientists majored in plants, animals, and geology. Catherine also joined in. This was discouraged by the crowd, but she persisted. Because she has the prompt given by Sebastian, it can greatly speed up the efficiency of exploration and reduce risk.
Sebastian watched the action of the expedition team while continuing to trade. But after the peak at the beginning, fewer people came to trade later. This is quite normal. After everyone has digested the items in the first batch of treasure chests, their strength has improved. To explore further afield, it is possible to get more resources. Still, some others are not aware of Sebastian's trading post at all, so it is impossible to trade.
The 100-person expedition team headed out of the territory. According to the plan discussed by the group before departure, every hundred meters is a limit.
"The box may be one every 100 meters." Catherine and many Scientists guessed like this.
As predicted, after entering the second hundred meters, another treasure chest was found. A reminder appeared in front of Catherine's eyes.
"What's in the box: A large serving of bread."
"Bread?" Catherine's eyes lit up.
Because the Wolf meat was taken away by Sebastian, everyone in the territory eats Earthworms and edible grass roots dug up. But this time the prompt doesn't stop there, below is another.
"Please note that there is a red venomous snake on the right side of the box; if bitten, you will die."
"Poisonous snake? Catherine's pupils shrank slightly. This is the first threatening creature encountered.
"Be careful, there's a poisonous snake on the right side of the box ahead." Catherine walked away and reminded them.
Everyone was on alert, and they stared at the right side of the treasure chest. After careful observation, they indeed found that near the weeds in the crevices, there is a red object. Alpin made a gesture to a few people beside him. They are men of the Astra Militarum, so they know what this gesture means. Kill it.
With no expression, people quietly found the angle. Several Rifles were aimed at the red object in the weeds at the same time. The other also picked up their Guns, ready to shoot in retaliation.
The next moment, dozens of Bullets were fired at the same time. Most of them hit the red objects. There was a loud noise in the weeds; subsequently, a four-meter-long red-spotted snake jumped up and wanted to escape. But it immediately fell to the ground, because the snake was hit by more than a dozen Bullets. But it didn't die immediately, as the snake was still twisting violently.
Alpin walked up with a few people to kill this viper. Everyone packed up the poisonous snake and took it with the bread in the box. Just in case, they let people bring these things back to the base first. The others went ahead and explored, and after a while, they found another treasure chest.
"What's in the box: A bottle of hallucinogenic poison, which can instantly make creatures who smell it fall into hallucinations and greatly reduce their resistance." Looking at this tip, Catherine was not surprised but delighted. Her brain immediately thought of a biological weapon that could be used against powerful supernatural creatures.
"Nice one." Catherine immediately let people take out this bottle of hallucinogenic poison; of course, she did not open it. The result is very dangerous.
The third 100m is not dangerous. The crowd moved on and came to the fourth hundred meters; there is a danger this time. Near the treasure chest, a bunch of big squirrels. Speed and agility are very high, and they can also throw pine cones at people. Without any choice, everyone can only give up this box, and there are no precious items in the box.
Continue for five hundred meters, the box here is a large serving of sweet potatoes. But next to the box, there was a small herd of large Wild Boars. There are ten in total, and they are almost twice the size of an ordinary Wild Boar. It has two long tusks and an extraordinarily fierce temperament.
If these Boars want to escape, there is nothing they can do. After all, Wild Boars are fast and can burrow through woods and bushes. With thick skin and flesh, Bullets are difficult to penetrate. It rushed towards the crowd and faced nearly a hundred AR-15; these dozen or so Wild Boars are self-defeating. They haven't rushed within 30 meters yet; all were knocked to the ground. The group watching laughed.
"This pork can be eaten for a long time," Alpin said excitedly.
"And those sweet potatoes." An agricultural scientist said, "Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used for cultivation."
"Although the sweet potato doesn't need to choose the place, it will take a month or two to be ripe, right?" A Guardsman asked.
"You don't understand." The agricultural scientist picked up his glasses and said, "By choosing the most advanced technique, sweet potatoes can be grown within a week."
"Then where do we get it here?" The Guardsman was puzzled, and then, he suddenly thought. Isn't there the Cybertronian? They can transform into various machines.
The 500-meter range to the south has been explored, so they don't go any further, but go west. It's here that the expedition team gained a lot. In the second treasure chest, a special item was issued: a Recruitment Card.
"Good stuff." Sebastian's eyes lit up. This way, it is possible to recruit more creatures again.
"This time, what to recruit?" Sebastian thought about it, and he had an idea in his mind.
