Chapter 84: Making things out of nothing and brushing cacti
He has been thinking, apart from conventional weapons, is there anything that can create huge obstacles for those robots?
Not just robots, but in the Marvel universe, can those special monsters that may come to Earth from Mars also cause harm in this way?
Not only must we consider whether these things can cause harm, but we must also consider whether these things will cause certain harm to the earth after they come to the earth.
Fang Yuan's piece of soil here can turn one square kilometer of land on another planet into special fertile soil that matures every three days. He placed a stone here that can make all surrounding stone objects indestructible.
.
So if he puts a cactus on the spot, what will be the consequences?
He suddenly became a little afraid to think about it, but in the future, if these monsters are really unstoppable, he will not be soft.
Fang Yuan will wave the weapon in his hand very firmly and use all available resources to fight them back, even if it destroys the balance of the world.
So when facing these things, everything he uses needs to be prepared for a rainy day, such as the sugar cane that is still being planted, or the cactus he wants to make now.
The role of sugar cane is actually not obvious. It can only be used to make paper, and then used to make books or fireworks. This is not to say that these things are useless, but it is not particularly useful when such a war is coming.
In addition to fireworks, books can also be obtained by trading with villagers. After having so much free labor, Fang Yuan got rid of the problem of insufficient emeralds very early.
But the cactus is different. As one of the few blocks in the entire MC that can completely destroy the MC's items, its power will definitely be particularly terrifying after being transferred to those worlds.
Before getting the new module, Fang Yuan would not have thought about this issue about cactus. Even if a wandering merchant gave him a cactus, he would not have thought about it.
Because he does not have enough sand, and the sand brusher requires an end portal, the probability of him obtaining an end portal before completing the mission in Terminator World is almost equal to 0.
There is not even sand. Could it be that he uses the precious soil to grow sugar cane?
Even if the Piglin already has enough gravel, it doesn't seem to take much effort to convert the soil into gravel.
But soil is still scarce, whether it is the cultivation of various plants in this world, or its transfer to the legendary world, turning it into what they call the sacred soil.
These require the help of a lot of soil, so most of the time he can only think like this.
But now that he has help from Nothing, and after letting those people quickly become familiar with the functions of the module, Fang Yuan can do some cool things!
The first thing is about the production of sand. In "Out of Nothing", there is a special way to produce sand, which is through a sledgehammer.
Now exchanging piglins for gravel can no longer meet Fang Yuan's needs. What he needs is a method that can produce gravel and sand in large quantities. Yes, making something out of nothing can help him complete this step.
In the setting out of nothing, a new tool will appear, a tool called a sledgehammer. The sledgehammer has only one effect, which is to hammer stones into gravel.
He is not short of stones at all now, and it can even be said that he will not be short of stones in the future. Even if there are only two people digging stones now, they cannot withstand the increasing digging over the years. Now there are hundreds of boxes for storing stones.
These hundreds of boxes add up to more than 3,000 sets of stones, which is estimated to be enough for him to last forever. Unless he builds some particularly huge engineering buildings, otherwise at the rate he is still digging, he will never use them up.
After all, he doesn't have any platform that requires special materials. Coupled with the prismarine bricks falling from the even larger Guardian Farm, he may never be short of paving materials in the future.
And now, these stones finally have a newer and more interesting way to use them... tapping!
Stones can be turned into gravel by being struck with a hammer, gravel can be turned into sand by being struck, and sand can be turned into dust by being struck again.
If dust is put into a bucket, it can be directly turned into clay. Now the method of obtaining clay has been solved, and the sand he needs to grow sugar cane and cactus has a source.
And the gravel he used to synthesize soil before, because the output of piglins is not particularly stable, is often not enough. Now that there is a new output method, it is naturally enough!
There was nothing to say. He called over a group of people. These people would become permanent residents of Sky Island in the future. Their combat effectiveness meant the future combat effectiveness of Sky Island. Therefore, Fang Yuan did not have any politeness. He directly
Let them clean up this area for him.
This group of people had been farming monsters next to the monster spawning tower before, absorbing the experience points dropped by those monsters. They knew that these experience points would improve their bodies and turn them into special human characteristics.
, but there is no one who has weaknesses.
And now Fang Yuan is looking for them to work, which means that their bodies have been digitized and they are starting to move forward on a new path, and those who work on this empty island will be given special power of law, allowing them to
They have become as powerful as gods, how can everyone not be excited?
So after they heard Fang Yuan ask them to take the hammers they had just made, which were made of wooden sticks and iron, and hit the stones placed on the ground, they didn't have any distracting thoughts, and they all did a pretty good job.
excited.
"Okay, just smash out enough gravel and sand, don't keep smashing it down!" Fang Yuan ordered, as if he was instructing the tool players who played the game with him when he was playing a game. He only needed to smash it down.
As the tasks are distributed, there will always be someone to help him solve the next steps of the task.
Fang Yuan will naturally not be idle. Now that he has enough gravel and sand, he can make more soil. There is still a set of soil in the previous soil box as materials for continued fusion.
After obtaining the soil in the box, he rubbed his hands again, and then merged it with the set of gravel he had just obtained. Two pieces of soil and two pieces of gravel can be combined to form a special block - sand.
A group of soil plus a group of gravel successfully turned into two groups of sand. The function of sand is very simple:
He put the sand on the ground, took out his diamond hoe, and dug the hoe into the sand. The sand on it was directly removed and turned into a new piece of soil.
This is the merging rule of gravel and soil. Now he can proudly claim that he will no longer lack sand and gravel.
Of course, the purpose of making soil is not to provide it to others. He is not so free yet. The purpose of making soil is to be able to find the seeds of various plants.
Create something out of nothing, as one of the easiest modules to provide for most technological or magic islands, its biggest feature is that no matter what kind of thing, no matter what kind of product, you can get it at the most basic level.
In addition to simplicity and convenience, this will also cause a problem, which is the cumbersome process. In the early stage, when you need few resources, this is naturally not a problem. In the later stage, you need a lot of resources and special things.
When it gets bigger, this is a problem.
The tedious process coupled with little output will leave this module with nowhere to put it, but Fang Yuan does not need to worry about this problem. He had flipped through the module book before, and it clearly stated "Create something out of nothing"
Its auxiliary modules.
The modules that were created out of nothing, if he remembered correctly, there seemed to be three main ones, namely Starlight Makes Everything, Compression Tool and EXN.
In the later stage, he could use modules such as compression tools to help him solve the problem of slow production processes. As for the strange ores produced by these modules, he had to give up.
After all, he has no craftsmanship here, no industry, and no heat or kinetic energy. All he can use are these manual tools, but for his empty island that originally only had the original version, it is naturally enough.
In addition to the hammer, he also needs to use another very important tool to make something out of nothing, the sieve.
The sieve can sift through dirt, gravel, sand and dust to obtain the special things inside these blocks.
For example, soil can obtain various plant and tree seeds, gravel can directly obtain complete ores and broken ore fragments, sand can obtain cocoa bean cactus, jungle wood and ancient spores, and dust can obtain bone meal and red stone.
, gunpowder, fluorite powder, flame powder and other special powdery props.
This also means that ores that were previously unavailable, such as diamonds, can be obtained through screening and sand grains with a chance.
This also means that the enchanting table that he originally thought would have no hope of being made suddenly has hope.
But what Fang Yuan needs now is to obtain more seeds by sifting the soil. Most plant seeds are needed, and he doesn't have spruce and birch seeds yet.
Even the sand needs to be screened out. Isn't his original purpose just to obtain cactus seeds?
The sieve is very simple to make. You only need to pass two wire meshes, plus four wooden boards and two wooden sticks to synthesize it.
The wire mesh is also very simple to make. Put 9 silk threads on the workbench and synthesize them to form a wire mesh. It is these meshes that can filter the blocks into what they need.
Of course, Fang Yuan will not make such a sieve now. The screening efficiency of such a sieve is too low. He will directly make a more useful heavy-duty sieve.
The method of making a heavy-duty sieve is still not difficult, but the tools for making the sieve are changed from wooden boards to logs, and the wire mesh is replaced by a heavy-duty wire mesh composed of 4 pieces of ordinary wire mesh.
It can increase the screening efficiency by 9 times, and the method used is also very simple. It can synthesize nine pieces of gravel, nine sand, nine dust, and even nine soil into compressed cubes, so that one person can screen 9 cubes at the same time.
, and obtain 9 times the amount of products, with almost no shortcomings except that the speed is slightly slower.
Fang Yuan didn't plan to find anyone. After the tools under his hands were almost done, he returned to the platform just now. Under the eyes of the people, he took away a huge amount of sand, a total of 20 groups.
He didn't plan to use up all the sand. Anyway, the number of cactus seeds didn't need to be too many. Just like other things, once you have one cactus, you can quickly multiply into countless cacti.
So he only made 10 pieces of compressed sand, and then made 10 pieces of compressed soil, and successfully screened out a considerable amount of... crushed ore.
Sure enough, his luck was not that good. Not a single cactus seed was screened out. There was a 3% chance of finding none out of 90 sands. Should he be considered lucky or bad?
Fang Yuan shook his head. Fortunately, there was enough sand under his hands. Even if it was not filtered out at all, it would not affect his next actions.
He formed another 10 pieces of compressed sand, and this time he was lucky, producing three cactus seeds in a row.
He continued to sift out all the compressed soil that had not been sifted just now. Now he has obtained dozens of seeds of various types, all of which were placed in the box next to the compression sieve. In the future, this place may become a compression tool.
Workspace, as of now this is just a simple workspace.
With sand and cactus in hand, he could start making an automatic cactus machine.
Unlike sugar cane, sugar cane does not have the characteristic of automatically falling. If you want to collect sugar cane, besides calling people to collect it, there is another way, which is to use redstone power.
The redstone machine can push the piston to move, and as long as the piston moves, the sugar cane will be pushed down directly by the piston and pushed into the water aside.
This is the principle of most sugar cane machines. All types of sugar cane machines are basically the same. At most, the red stone circuit or the propelling piston can be changed, but this mechanism will hardly change. If you have
Just place a piston next to each sugar cane to create a parallel redstone circuit.
Anyway, there are sunlight sensors and detectors now, and unlike the previous version, which still required a cyclic redstone circuit, now as long as it detects that you have a new wave, the piston will automatically push, and then all the sugar cane will be pushed in.
in the collection device.
Of course, if you learn red stone well, you can also make a more interesting device, that is, a red stone palace that circulates repeatedly. It will push a row of pistons forward and collect all the sugar cane.
, it will push these pistons back again, which is very interesting.
Anyway, there is no such thing as a server in this world, so Fang Yuan will not worry about world downtime. Of course he is happy as he pleases, and just uses the high-frequency red stone to push all the machines in the sugar cane field, and that's it.
!
However, the cactus machine does not need to be so tall. As a shy plant that will automatically fall down as long as there are blocks around it, the process of making a cactus machine is more than twice as simple as that of a sugar cane machine?
"Let's do this for now!" Fang Yuan said. The reason why he was unwilling to make those automated equipment was because there were too many workers here, and most of the work could be completed with sufficient manpower.
"Let's start with the cactus planting area. I wonder how their preparations are going?"
