…
Although the trip to the northwest was extremely thrilling, Li Xiao also gained a lot.
In addition to the two wolf cubs, being promoted to a level was also a huge gain for him from this trip.
Li Xiao's mouth was filled with joy when he saw the unlocked drawings.
The reason is very simple. The unlocking of pistols and cannons marks a huge leap forward in Li Xiao's development in the Arkworld!
He has completely entered the era of hot weapons!
Compared with cold weapons such as spears, swords, bows and crossbows, the power of hot weapons has almost undergone earth-shaking changes.
As a modern person, Li Xiao clearly understands how much hot weapons can improve his strength.
Without saying a word, he started making a simple pistol directly on the workbench.
Of course, the blueprints used for the production were the high-quality pistol blueprints he obtained last time.
Distance Completion Required:
23 hours, 59 minutes and 45 seconds!
Without the aid of lathes or other efficient tools for making metal parts, the production of simple pistols can only rely on handcrafting.
The production time was indeed very long as Li Xiao expected.
However, he has gradually become accustomed to the speed of making items with his bare hands. Regardless of the busy white hands, Li Xiao is going to go out to collect some metal ore first.
The metal ingots smelted from the metal ore collected last time have been used up, and he needs to go out to collect some more.
Moreover, in the blueprints unlocked this time, there are quite a lot of metal ingots needed to make artillery. It seems that he needs to store more metal ingots.
"I have to build a tree house platform, find milk for the wolf cubs, and collect metal ores...I'm exhausted!"
Li Xiao was thinking about the next work, and his head was getting big.
The most urgent task is to find a source of milk for the wolf pups.
Dinosaurs are all egg-laying creatures and do not produce milk.
The only thing Li Xiao should pay special attention to is the mammals on the island.
Saber-toothed tiger, big-horned deer, sheep, short-faced kangaroo, dire bear...
After thinking about it, Li Xiao immediately knew what creature he should catch——
Big horned deer!
This kind of creature is the only one that is not dangerous, is widely distributed on the central island, and produces milk stably.
Having made up his mind, Li Xiao led the raptors out the door.
"Be careful, you can't bite them to death this time! I still want to keep the milk for production..." Li Xiao ordered several velociraptors.
…
Female bighorn deer have no horns on their heads and are very easy to tame.
A few hours later, he returned with a tamed big-antlered deer.
Leading the wet nurse directly to the cub, Li Xiao opened his mouth to order the big-antlered deer.
"Come on, wet nurse, lie down first... I know you stand up to breastfeed, but they are dire wolves... You lie down... yes... just like that, let them nurse!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Although they are dire wolves, can these weaned dire wolves still eat you? Don't be afraid..."
"Oh, okay..."
Seeing the two wolf cubs sucking milk hard, Li Xiao's face showed a hint of relief.
"The most troublesome thing has been solved..."
The two wolf cubs ate so hard that Li Xiao, who was watching from the side, couldn't take his eyes away.
"Speaking of which, I've drunk cow's milk and goat's milk, but this deer milk..."
Touching his chin, Li Xiao sucked the saliva that was about to fall.
"The two wolf cubs can't eat much anyway, and the remaining milk is just a waste. It's not as good as me..."
Li Xiao's eyes gleamed and he paid attention.
Seeing that the two wolf cubs were full, he approached them with a lewd expression...
Of course, it is impossible to grab onto a deer and suck it directly like a wolf cub.
You are too ungrateful...
He took the container and started milking the "nanny".
Deer milk that is directly squeezed out is still raw milk, and it has a hint of mutton in the taste.
But this didn't bother Li Xiao, who was a foodie, so he put the container on the fire and boiled the deer milk.
Li Xiao picked up the deer milk that had been cooled until it was warm. He took a sip and his eyes widened.
"This is the enjoyment!"
He patted his belly and sat down comfortably. There were still some milk stains on the corners of his mouth.
"It would be better with some more sugar..."
It stands to reason that the conditions on Ark Island are extremely difficult.
But some foodies can always create surprises...
…
Picking up the made simple pistol, Li Xiao looked at it carefully.
The shape of this simple pistol is exactly the kind of revolver commonly used by western cowboys.
The magazine is fixed and cannot be removed, and can only hold six rounds of ammunition.
The loading method is to load one round from the left loading port.
This also results in the reloading speed of this simple pistol being very slow.
This is a big problem for Li Xiao's battle.
But for Li Xiao, who could only use crossbows as weapons, it was still a rare treasure.
Li Xiao couldn't put it down and touched the pistol, his eyes filled with little stars.
He quickly made some more bullets in the workbench.
Jingling, clanking, only about twenty rounds of bullets were produced, and the workbench stopped due to lack of materials.
The igniting powder for making gunpowder is simple, just stones and flints, but Li Xiao doesn't have much charcoal.
The amount of charcoal produced in the campfire is not much, so he can only rely on the furnace to produce it, but the furnace has never had the opportunity to smelt metal ingots in large quantities, and there is not much charcoal either.
Bullets require a lot of materials and are relatively troublesome to make, so Li Xiao must save ammunition and not squander it.
"Oh, I still don't have enough money!"
Li Xiao sighed.
There are a lot of materials to make bullets, and the production is relatively complicated. It seems that this pistol can only be fired at will in moments of crisis.
Li Xiao loaded the simple pistol and pointed it directly at the dummy used for archery practice in the yard.
Although bullets are in short supply, Li Xiao can still distinguish between light and heavy. This practice must not be omitted.
After becoming familiar with the performance of this gun, Li Xiao can use it to shoot accurately in times of crisis to protect his own life...
"Bang!"
Pulling the trigger, a huge force almost caused the pistol in his hand to fall off.
At the same time, there was a huge sound and a stream of white smoke coming out of the gun.
"Here I go, it's indeed a weapon that can deal with dinosaurs. The recoil is so strong!"
