Chapter 24 The Spyglass and the Trap

When he got up the next day, Ren first went to the planting room to check that the crops and fruits inside were ripe.

Hurry up and use the stone sickle to collect and harvest a lot of food and improved seeds.

Store the ingredients in the kitchen box and don't rush to have breakfast. Go to the workshop to check the furnace first.

Throughout the night, all the ore was smelted, including the sand that was put in before going to bed.

Harvest a large amount of iron ingots, nails, mechanical parts, and glass. The dryer next to it takes out the insulation board and the separated resin.

Make plastic from resin, use iron ingots on the workbench to make three blades, add ropes, and mechanical parts to make a simple manual juicer.

Other materials will be manufactured according to the plan, and all the required infrastructure will be manufactured.

The workshop has a furnace, workbench, carpentry bench, blacksmith bench, medicine processing table, leather processing area, armor making workbench, dryer, and grinder.

Make another elevator and the iron ingots will be used up.

After mining for a whole day, it seems that I have saved a lot, but in fact, it is not enough at all.

At least now there are no materials for iron tools or iron weapons, let alone a complete set of iron armor.

Renn is not in a hurry. He can make a telescope next and use it to survey the mineral veins.

As long as you find iron ore, you can collect more ore to supply future manufacturing needs.

Bring the manual juicer to the kitchen and place it next to the stove.

On the stove, an iron pot made by the way was used to boil animal bones to make glue. Lane put the fruits into a manual juicer, pulled the rope to turn the blade, and smashed them into juice.

The breakfast menu finally changed. Delicious watermelon juice and barbecued meat, as well as bread baked with wheat on the stove, made Ren feel that life was getting better step by step.

It's a pity that we didn't find rice seeds. Otherwise, if we grow rice, we can eat hot rice and stir-fry a few side dishes, which is delicious.

After breakfast, I used the boiled glue and other materials to quickly make a telescope.

After this important prop appears, finding ore veins is the first goal.

Take the telescope to the balcony, use it to enter scanning mode, and start observing the surrounding terrain.

【System】Discover the giant beetle nest and update the map mark!

The advantage of the telescope is that the targets you see will be automatically marked, the position is more accurate than what Wren recorded manually, and the marked information will be displayed in detail.

For example, the first giant beetle nest discovered.

[Giant Beetle Lair] The lair of the demonized creature giant beetle, with a number of 6 to 8, levels 1 to 20, and active attack.

Through telescope observation, you can get information about different creatures and understand their habits.

[System] Discover the Goblin lair and update the map mark!

[System] Found the wild wolf lair and updated the map mark!

[System] Found the horned rabbit nest and updated the map mark!

[System] Discover the slime lair and update the map mark!



Ren took a look at the activity areas of the surrounding creatures. After all updates, he understood which ones were dangerous and which ones were more docile.

I finally found the mineral vein I needed.

There is an iron ore vein in the southeast of the base, near the goblin lair, and there is a copper ore vein near the wolf lair in the north of the base.

These two metal mines are the most in demand and most useful materials, but there are goblin and wild wolf lairs nearby, which are relatively dangerous.

Although Goblins are very weak, they are humanoid monsters. They can use various tools and weapons, and they can also dig traps. When fighting, they swarm up and it is difficult for one person to resist them.

Wild wolves come in groups and are powerful predators in the forest. Renn has no confidence in breaking through head-on and dealing with the wolves alone.

But he needs to occupy the mineral veins and get the opportunity to mine ores to unlock and create more props.

If you can't defeat it alone, you need help.

His current method of obtaining helpers is to build animal pens and tame beasts with certain combat capabilities to assist him.

I just needed a mount, so I looked for an animal that could be used as a mount as well as have strong combat capabilities.

At the edge of this forest, normal types of animals are of course excluded.

In terms of combat power, wild wolves are very strong, but their size is not suitable for use as mounts, even if they can pull carts; large elk can be used as mounts, and can also pull carts, but they cannot defeat fierce beasts.

Those with a body shape suitable for pulling carts and being used as mounts, and with strong combat capabilities, should be those ferocious dinosaurs.

There are several types of dinosaurs in the forest. The gentle herbivorous dinosaurs are excluded. They walk too slowly and are too big. The giant carnivorous dinosaurs are difficult to deal with. The most suitable one is the velociraptor.

The velociraptor in the forest can reach 3 meters in length and more than 1.5 meters in height, and can run at speeds of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour.

It is actually not easy to capture this kind of creature back to the animal pen.

Fortunately, Rennes has a system. As long as you are well prepared, there is still a way.

Velociraptors usually appear in groups and cannot be fought head-on, otherwise they will become their food, so you can only use traps!

To catch them, you must have a large enough net.

This is simple. You can use plant fibers to twist them into ropes, and then weave a large amount of ropes into a trapping net on the workbench. You can then trap the beasts by setting up traps.

Lane observed carefully through the telescope and first determined the range of activities of the Velociraptors and their usual routes.

Make a dozen trapping nets in advance to make sure that the raptors have moved to other areas to hunt for food. Then set off quickly and set up hunting traps on one of their paths.

A large net is laid on the path that the raptor must pass through, and pieces of meat are placed on it as bait.

As long as they enter the trap and eat a piece of meat, it will be activated. The curved tree will instantly eject, tightening the rope of the animal trap, instantly catching the target and hoisting it into the air.

Renn can observe through the telescope from a distance, confirm that the prey has entered the net, and then recover it.

Try to be careful to avoid the predators wandering around, it is good to have a virtual map.

After placing traps in different areas, retreat quickly and observe from a distance.

The raptors didn't step into the trap on the first day, they wandered around hunting on the other side.

However, a white-tailed deer accidentally stepped into a trap and was immediately captured.

This was an unexpected gain. Renn went over to capture the white-tailed deer before dark, rearranged the trap, and took it back to the base.

There is currently enough food, so we are not in a hurry to kill it. Instead, we expand a floating wooden house as a breeding farm and keep it inside. Place a food trough and leave a lot of plant fiber and water for it to eat.

This is a female deer, maybe it can give birth to a fawn, and then there will be a steady supply of raw meat and fur.

If there is a chance, Ren would also like to capture bison, goats, etc., and then breed them in large quantities, so that milk, goat milk, and wool can be supplied.

Continue to observe with the telescope on the balcony to see if the trap has been triggered. Wait until dark before giving up. After dinner, go back to the house to rest, hoping to catch the Velociraptor at night.
