Chapter 2 Construction of Sky Island and Initial Contact
Digging stones is a very simple matter. Even the wooden pickaxe with the lowest durability can dig up 59 cobblestones.
Yes, Fang Yuan deliberately counted the cobblestones on his body after the wooden pickaxe broke. No more, no less, exactly 59. Since he noticed that not a single cobblestone fell into the magma and was burned, 59 should be a wooden pickaxe.
The durability is worth it.
He took these stones, together with the remaining two sticks and ten planks, to synthesize eleven stone pickaxes, using 33 cobblestones and leaving 26 cobblestones, and then he continued his work.
He discovered that the degree of satiety consumption in this world is the same as the rules of MC. Time does not affect the consumption of satiety. Only running and jumping will. So he only needs to control himself and not try his best to stay on this island.
By jumping up, you can reduce your food consumption to a very small range.
Fang Yuan dug some more stones and broke half of the stone pickaxes. Ten groups of stones appeared in his backpack (MC's group had 64 stones). It seemed that the durability of the stone pickaxes was still not much.
The change is 131.
After digging so many stones, the sun had set to the west, but the two trees still showed no intention of growing up. Fang Yuan raised his head and looked under the trees for a while before giving up. He still had a lot of things to do.
In the original game, he was also someone who had played Li Mango Sky Island, and he knew that the most torturous part was waiting for the tree to grow up.
The tree's growth time is variable. According to the game's settings, it will make a determination in about three minutes to determine whether the light, space and other information support the growth of the tree.
Under such a judgment, if the light, space, temperature and humidity are all suitable, it is not impossible for the saplings to grow after planting. If you are unlucky and fail every time the judgment is made, a certain UP owner once waited for 80 minutes.
Moreover, a day in the game lasts for 20 minutes, which is exactly one-seventy-second of the real time. Calculating it this way, the judgment time for a tree is actually 216 minutes, which is almost four hours.
After thinking about this, Fang Yuan had no hope for the growth of these two trees. Fortunately, there was a stone brushing machine, so he didn't need to stand under the tree and wait like Wang Fushi, which was good.
He did not use up the ten sets of stones, but divided half of them out and replaced them with cobblestones and half bricks on the workbench. Like the wooden steps, one was changed into two to save the cost of using squares.
Fang Yuan made a stone shovel and re-excavated the end of the empty island that had not been turned into a stone brushing machine. He dug down five blocks and just hit the bedrock.
Then carefully dig to the edge of the empty island. Below is the endless abyss. If one accidentally falls, there will be no chance to come back again.
"Just think of it as an empty island in extreme mode!" Fang Yuan thought, spreading the stones and half-bricks from this end of the bedrock, expanding the area as much as possible, probably to about four squares, and then he
It took about an hour to surround the entire empty island with cobblestones and half bricks.
And in order to prevent monsters from spawning, he only uses the lower half of the bricks. Don't ask, it's a special reaction brought about by years of MC experience and lessons.
This is how you feel when you wake up surrounded by monsters.
The way to refresh monsters is very simple: dark environment, block activation, 24 blocks and 72 blocks around the player, and complete blocks under their feet.
Fang Yuan didn't want to wake up and be surrounded by a large group of strange monsters. This was an empty island. If he wasn't careful, he would be shot down and there would be no time to fight back.
The advantage of the lower half of the bricks is that no matter how large the area you lay them, dark monsters will not be spawned.
Of course, there are also disadvantages. The extra half-meter floating range will make it inconvenient for you to place blocks, boxes or plant. Of course, he has enough stones now. These inconveniences can be solved by placing more stone steps.
The most important thing is to make a resting platform for climbing up, which is nothing compared to the trouble of monsters.
Now that the big platform is built, I finally have some sense of security. At least I don't have to worry about someone accidentally falling into the void and becoming an unjust soul who dies in vain.
The size of the current sky island is 16*16, which is 256 square meters. It can be considered a very large island, at least much larger than the author's home. Fang Yuan is no exception. Before traveling, he was still building a 60-meter-long island.
The flat apartment is 996!
Thinking about it this way, it seems that traveling to the MC world is not a bad thing? At least he has his own territory and house.
Shaking his head and putting these strange thoughts behind him, Fang Yuan built a half-brick staircase that went up to the top of the empty island. There were two saplings and a stone brushing machine on top.
Fang Yuan took the magma bucket that was given to him, scooped out the water first, and then sat in a pool on the platform below, which was exactly the same as the pool of the stone brushing machine. Yes, he wanted to move the entire stone brushing machine down.
Painting rocks on the top of this small sky island is actually quite dangerous, because magma has the property of igniting all surrounding objects that can be ignited, which means that he is likely to dig out rocks one day.
, was injured by the flames igniting around him.
There was no way to clean the stones just now, but now that there is a way, it will not continue to be like this. The platform below is all made of stones and will not catch fire, so there is no need to take precautions.
But this stone brushing machine he built is a little larger, and the grid originally used for water has been extended from one grid to three grids. Similarly, the grid opposite to the magma has been changed to three grids, so that the stone can be brushed at once.
Come up with three yuan.
Fang Yuan built himself a standing stone brushing machine. Although it was not as comfortable as before, the efficiency was twice as high as the original stone brushing machine.
So he quickly brought down the bucket of magma from above, and then raised his shovel!
"It's time to move this dirt to another place!"
As an old story goes back, sky island resources are very scarce, but most of the resources can actually be directly refreshed through various methods, which is also one of the characteristics of the game itself.
But soil is not actually among them. As one of the few native resources of the main world, soil is actually one of the cornerstone reserves of the world. Therefore, the designers of the game did not design a way to refresh it, which makes the method of obtaining soil become
More scarce.
At least now, Fang Yuan has no way to obtain soil, so now he cherishes these existing resources extremely.
After all, there are so many things that soil can do. It can grow trees, sugar cane, mushrooms and bamboo, it can produce grass and mycelium, it can be turned into cultivated land to grow some edible plants... and so on.
In order to live well in this world, every bit of soil is very important.
So after successfully moving the stone brushing machine, Fang Yuan began to excavate the lower four layers of soil except the top layer of grass.
Grass is also one of the rarest blocks on Sky Island. Without the special enchantment of precise collection, grass blocks are purely non-renewable resources.
Because grass blocks are actually a touch of green dyed on soil blocks, new grass blocks can only be generated through the natural spread of grass blocks.
The biggest function of the grass cube is that it can use bone meal to produce grass and flowers. The grass can produce wheat seeds. The flowers are the source of raw materials for various dyes, which is quite important.
And wild animals only have a chance to spawn on grass, because most herbivores rely on these grasses for survival. If Fang Yuan loses these grass cubes, he will really have no chance of meat in the future - unless
Eat carrion.
So he carefully dug out only a few dirt blocks on the bottom layer. Along the direction of the stone steps he made, he made another dirt step that just extended downward from the grass blocks on the empty island.
This is the most common method of extending grass blocks. It only takes a few days for him to spread only a little grass block from top to bottom, and then spread out 240 grass blocks to form a square no smaller than where he is.
The huge lawn of Sky Island.
Of course, this would take quite some time. After taking a simple extension measure, Fang Yuan sat down peacefully and took a good rest.
The MC gave his body no signs of fatigue. Even because of his usual attention, he didn't even consume much of his hunger points. Now he can even be said to be in full condition.
But humans and machines are different after all. When the sun was about to fall on the horizon, Fang Yuan slowly lay down on a small bed made of two wooden steps, preparing to have a peaceful sleep.
.
There is no wool now, and there is no thread that can be used to synthesize wool, so he can only temporarily settle in a place like this.
In order to prevent it from raining, he also built himself a matchbox with stones. Even though he was an expert in construction, it was still impossible for him to build a big house without meeting his material needs, just to
Meet your own spiritual needs.
The box was very small, with only four square meters of space and a height of two meters. The door was sealed by him, leaving only a small window made of half bricks.
There was extremely solid bedrock beneath his feet. Such a small safe house gave Fang Yuan a high sense of security.
"Ouch!" Fang Yuan lay down gently. Not sleeping in this world is a very scary thing. Whether it's monsters in the dark or phantoms that appear when you don't sleep, they may kill you.
.
But as a modern person, Fang Yuan couldn't fall asleep while lying on the wooden bed.
Even if he is slightly familiar with this world, it is almost impossible to calm down and sleep after being in an unfamiliar world for such a long time.
Fang Yuan thought for a while and took out the "Address Book". Unlike during the day, this book seemed to emit a strange white light at night, allowing him to clearly see the words written on it.
Robert Neville: "It's been a month since I picked up this phone and someone has finally messaged me back, thank God!"
"It seems like you are Chinese, or of Chinese descent. I'm lucky that I can speak Chinese!"
"Okay, if you can still reply to messages and know where you are, please listen to me!"
"There should be no signal in the entire United States now. If you can receive the signal, it means you are in New York. I have repaired the signal tower here."
"If you are still alive, you can come to South Street Seaport at noon when the sun is at its strongest. I will come every day."
"If you can read the language I sent you and you feel safe, you can contact me. I can provide food, shelter, and protect your safety!"
"Please, contact me and I can tell you that you are not alone!"
The person opposite the "Address Book" seemed to be a chatterbox. After writing a long paragraph, he became silent.
Fang Yuan looked at the time. It seemed like it was half an hour ago. He replied:
Fang Yuan: "I'm sorry, you may have some misunderstandings about me. I'm not from your world. Can you tell me about your world?"
Since the mission is to save the world, collecting intelligence is the first priority.
…
"Didi, da, didi!"
"Woof woof woof!" A dog howled in his ears.
This was another world. Colonel Robert Neville was lying on his small bed, waving his arms with some difficulty, and picked up the flip phone on the bedside.
The signal tower in this world has collapsed, so the mobile phone should not actually have a signal, but this is not a problem for the lonely and desperate Robert. At least there is another person in the address book of this mobile phone who can send
The name of the message.
But he didn't have much hope for this phone, because in the past month, he had tried various ways to contact the other party, but there was still no movement.
The good news is that the battery of this mobile phone is very durable and has only been charged once in a month, giving him a little hope.
Until this morning, a message suddenly came from this mobile phone. He had just told the other party his message before going to bed, but it was really difficult to sleep at night here, so he heard the ringtone of the mobile phone.
"Hey, Sam, you can't bite this!" Robert quickly rescued the phone from the dog's hand. His dark face was actually a little red. Did that person reply to him?
This may be one of the best messages he has received after living in this world for so long. No matter who this person is, male or female, fat or thin, at least the reply to this message proves that he is alive.
people!
But after seeing the words on the phone, even though he had experienced many battles, he couldn't help but have a black question mark on his face:???
Is there something wrong with this survivor's brain? What is the situation in my world? Is this guy a visitor from another world?
Robert doesn't understand, but listening to the whistling roar in his ears, like a baby crying, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight, so explain it to him!
Robert Neville: "Although I don't know what you mean, I am happy to tell you the story about the Night Stalker. I got the name myself because they only appear at night, and the premise of the story is
