"Little guys, don't worry, let me take stock of today's harvest first~"
After playing with the clingy Little Sparks for a while, he placed the two chicks on the ground and invited Oreo to come over and play with them.
Somo walked to the supplies room and started to take out things.
First is the large piece of saltpeter that has filled the storage space.
The purity of these saltpeters is extremely high and requires little to no secondary treatment. It can be crushed and used directly. Any warmonger who sees it will call out that destiny is mine.
Looking at the clutter that was already filled with sulfur, Somo could only place the saltpeter in the auxiliary bedroom.
The smell of saltpeter is not as strong as sulfur, especially for this natural saltpeter mine. Except for a faint bitter taste, the other flavors are difficult to distinguish.
"These saltpeters add up to at least three to five hundred kilograms. I don't even need to grab it a second time in a short time."
After stacking all the saltpeter ores and putting them together, Somo nodded with satisfaction.
This squirrel-like joy of hoarding large amounts of supplies is simply unimaginable.
Just add a little bit of charcoal and mix it according to the proportion to create the perfect propellant - black powder.
"As for food...this 15kg bag of rice solves the urgent need!"
"I still have these two bottles of canned food, eat them leisurely, and you won't have any problems for a month!"
After taking out the harvested survival supplies, Somo picked up the rice bag and walked to the stove.
These days, it's either bread soup or biscuit batter. These two things are fine at first, but eating too much can really make you vomit.
Seeing the rice at this time, Somo's stomach immediately began to wriggle and make a gurgling sound, and sour water began to gush out of his mouth.
The food intake of an ordinary person in one meal is about 2 taels of rice. In terms of rice, one tael is more than one tael. One kilogram of rice can last for about three days.
Of course, for Somo, who was now hungry and whose strength was growing rapidly, he needed at least 3 taels, or even 4 taels, in a meal to be full.
"It's strange, my luck is so good? A copper treasure chest can be opened to feed one person more than a month of rice. Logically speaking, everyone should not be short of food in the early stage."
After drinking some psionic water, Somo washed the rice while wandering around, thinking about the problem.
According to this explosion rate, if you are more lucky and can get two bags of rice and save some food, it will not be a problem for two or three months.
But obviously...
There are still too many people who lack food and are even reduced to eating tree bark and soil.
"There are too few real samples to judge. It may be that I am lucky and always get good things."
Putting this currently unsolvable problem behind him, he put the washed rice into the already lit pot, and Somo sat in front of the stove and waited quietly.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a rice cooker. Use the most primitive earthen pot and the most primitive steaming method. The steamed rice will be more fragrant with the firewood gas!
First, cook the rice in a pot until the hard core inside is almost soft, place a wooden lid above the water line in the pot, spread the rice flatly on the wooden lid, and cover the pot.
Where did this come from in the wasteland to survive?
On days like this, there are only three "Food Articles" written in capital letters stuck on Somo's head!
After pouring all the remaining rice in the pot into the Oreo bowl, Somo stood up and returned to the supplies room.
This time, what was brought out was canned yellow peaches!
Easily unscrew the can, use chopsticks to pick out a piece of fruit pulp and put it into your mouth. A wonderful and unusual fruit aroma is overwhelming.
When you bite into the flesh of a yellow peach, a few bits of peach acid are quickly secreted from the peach flesh that bursts open in the middle, bringing an aroma to the entire mouth.
Swallowing a piece of fruit pulp with enjoyment, and looking at the expectant eyes of the three little ones, Somo took out another piece and gave it to Oreo, bit off half of the piece and gave it to the big and small sparks, and swallowed the remaining half again.
Looking at the remaining yellow peaches with regret, Sumo simply turned his head, tightened the cap of the can and put it back into the supply room.
At this stage, canned food is a strategic commodity, and eating it is not considered enjoyment, it can be regarded as a "luxury"!
A piece of fruit pulp every day can maintain an adequate supply of vitamins.
I estimate that I can eat these two cans for at least a month without any problems!
At this moment, Sumo completely understood the feeling of having food in hand and no panic in heart.
"Then today's task is to try to purify some saltpeter. It will be considered as overfulfilled!"
After having enough wine and food, it was time to work. Somo did not take a break and directly moved a small piece of saltpeter ore to the workbench.
"Although the purity is good, if it can be refined, I'd better try to refine it. Maybe the "material" prepared after reaching excellent quality will be more powerful!"
Return to the energy room, connect the generator power, turn on the workbench power, wait for the self-test to be completed, and then put on the "iron arm".
Refining saltpeter ore is very simple. You only need to crush it, put it into water, heat it, wait for it to boil, and then start fine filtration.
After putting the psionic water in distressedly, Somo began to prepare the solution.
Take out a spare wooden basin, crush the earthy white saltpeter ore with the hammer of your right hand, and then slowly grind it into fine powder.
Pull up the experimental bench, slowly slide the saltpeter powder into the nether energy water along the tube arm until two-thirds of it is added, then close the wall and start heating.
As the flame of the resistance blowtorch comes out, the temperature inside the distillation tube begins to rise rapidly.
Control the temperature and keep it at 80 degrees. Stop heating and let Somo begin to filter out the unmeltable impurities inside.
Shake the remaining filtrate, place it in the middle of the workbench, and wait patiently for the filtrate to cool down.
Wait until the temperature returns to 20 degrees, filter the precipitated material again, and a little bit of pure white powder crystals begin to solidify in the beaker.
The next moment, Somo couldn't wait to call the system to look at the saltpeter powder.
Immediately shocked!
