Back at the camp, Chu Jungui began to take stock of the harvest.
The second village is much larger than the first village. There are nearly a hundred monsters in it, two-thirds of which are adult warriors. There are two metallurgical stone jars in this village. The stone jars are not only larger than the first village
It is much larger and has a different structure. There is a liquid outlet at the bottom, and the liquid containing metal flows out. As long as the water is evaporated, metal particles can be obtained.
Chu Jungui didn't care much about the metals themselves, but he was very interested in the microorganisms in the sludge. He had already taken samples and was only waiting for a suitable tool to be made before testing them carefully.
In addition, this village also gave three full quotas and four return qualifications. It is not unreasonable for the rewards to be so generous. Chu Jungui estimated that according to the level of the explorers he had encountered before, if there were not seven
With eight people, let alone conquering the village, they would most likely be wiped out by the opponent. After all, these half-humanoid monsters move fast, have high defense, and have the ability to walk through trees.
Chu Jungui had already cut open the tree body and had a look. These monsters seemed to have grown in the trunk of the tree, and they were integrated with the tree. I am in you, and you are in me. He didn't know how it was done.
Chu Jungui took out the collected metal parts again and inspected them one by one. Most of these metal parts were blades, arrowheads, and spear points. There was only one complete dagger, and the rest of the knives only had wooden blades, and on the edge.
Everything is covered with a layer of metal. It can be seen that metal is also in short supply in this village. But it is much better than the first village. Even the arrows in that village were bone arrows, and the entire village did not have 10 kilograms of metal in total.
.
Among the metal parts, several arrow tips shining with light blue light caught Chu Jungui's attention. He originally thought that these were some kind of alloy mixed with a large number of rare elements, but after careful spectral analysis, Chu Jungui discovered that these light blue arrow tips
The content of metallic iron exceeds 99%, and its purity is much higher than other metal parts.
Chu Jungui pulled out his sword and brought it down with one strike, but it only cut the tip of the arrow in half. There was considerable resistance where the sword fell, and it was not due to hardness, but to toughness. Chu Jungui slashed twice more before finally cutting off the tip of the arrow.
Cut off the tip of the arrow. The cross section has an obvious cutting luster and a faint blue tint.
From the spectrum, this is iron, but the cross-section color and physical properties are different from iron. The stretch and ductility are much higher than iron, comparable to gold, but at the same time it also has a very high hardness. In terms of overall performance, it is better than Chu Jun
The alloys used today are even stronger.
Chu Jungui has his own spectral analysis, Kaitian has micro-operations, and has an electric smelting furnace with a furnace temperature that is far higher than that of ordinary furnaces. In addition, he carries a huge database with countless alloy formulas. After careful selection, in the end
The level of metallurgy is still inferior to that of a humanoid monster who is still in primitive worship and whose language is not perfect?
Chu Jungui doesn't have any more testing methods at hand now. He can only judge based on common sense that this is an isotope of iron. The impurities are very low and cannot be said to be an alloy. Since the isotope of iron is so stable, it should be a problem at the molecular structure level.
.
To put it simply, what he is holding now is a brand-new metal formula with huge development potential. If he is lucky, it may represent a new path and a series of products can be developed based on it. The iron is there
It can be found everywhere in the universe. If this formula can be successfully mass-produced, it may mean the birth of a new high-performance and cheap alloy with huge commercial and military value.
This is the real significance of exploring real dreams. Occasionally, some molecular structure diagrams are found in real dreams, and most of them can be used to synthesize corresponding materials. Some of the ones that cannot be realized can also be successfully manufactured in a strict laboratory environment.
Chu Jungui put away the blue-light arrows and put them aside. It seemed that it was imperative to build an instrument that could test the molecular structure, but he had to get through the immediate crisis first.
Chu Jungui had no doubt that the monster in the illusion could find him. The method was very simple. The other party must know the location of the totem pole, and then he would search around the totem pole. He would definitely not be in the direction of their lair.
, so if you search in the opposite direction, you will find Chu Jungui's camp sooner or later.
The natural way to escape at this moment is to move immediately, avoid the forest area, and choose an area outside the territory of those humanoid monsters to insert.
However, Chu Jungui does not intend to do this. He is only one person, and the number of people who come to pursue him in the first wave will definitely not be too many. It is just a good opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of those warriors after the mutation, so as not to be caught off guard in the future. In addition, maybe the monster will
Related to the core secret of real dreams.
Thinking of this, Chu Jungui stood up and said to Kaitian: "Add some food, and then work!"
"Okay." Kaitian was hit hard this time and had already eaten all the way back.
Chu Jungui looked at the metal parts that could fit into a small basin, and he already knew it in his heart. To deal with such a primitive tribe with high strength, it is necessary to rely on material to suppress it!
At the federal base, Austin stood in front of a huge map, silent.
Crassus walked into the office silently and said softly: "Teacher, I let you down."
Austin turned back, glanced at Crassus, his eyes softened a little, and said: "It seems that the operation effect is good."
"The damage is 0.96%, which costs you money."
This damage figure means that the treatment cost of more than 3 billion has far exceeded the upper limit set by the Federation for a single explorer. The Federation is extremely sensitive to the use of funds and is even somewhat neurotic. The only way to exceed the standard is to pay for it out of pocket.
The problem is, Crassus knew that Austin actually didn't have much money, and if he could spend more than a billion, he would be bankrupt.
Austin said slowly: "You should let Kun stop."
Crassus looked apologetic and said: "Sorry, teacher. I know this is better, but I have been scheming against others, and I don't want to be so utilitarian when it comes to my own people."
Austin neither blamed nor praised, saying: "Since you deviated from the optimal strategy, you have to find a way to make up for the difference in merit."
"It is my responsibility."
Austin's expression softened a little and said: "You have also been to a real dream, tell me what you think."
Crassus was well prepared and said unhurriedly: "Let's start with my death this time. This time Kun and I entered the fourth-level area and were suddenly ambushed by a large number of enemies. According to what I saw with my own eyes, the enemies who besieged us were
There are more than 400 warriors. Kun and I killed 30 of them in total. The combat effectiveness of these warriors is only slightly weaker than our Sons of Hell, but they far exceed the Sons of Hell in number. In addition, they can use tools and can
They are already quite intelligent and civilized in making weapons, but they are confirmed to be a new intelligent race."
"Are they related to the ruins previously explored?"
Crassus said: "My judgment is that the original owners of those ruins perished after encountering them. In one mural, the enemy painted is exactly this kind of creature."
Austin nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"After this world change, the changes in real dreams are far greater than the previous ones, and past experiences are largely useless. So I think that the second catastrophe is likely not to follow a fixed interval of ten days.
And the main body of the disaster may be this kind of ape monster."
Austin looked solemn and said: "If the ape monster is the main body, how much do you think our losses will be?"
Crassus smiled bitterly: "I really don't want to answer this question. You see, I have been killed and come back. If the second disaster occurs earlier and it is indeed an ape monster, then at least 70% of our people will come back dead."
Austin turned around and looked at the map. There were already more than a dozen light spots of various sizes on it. Each light spot was a terrain road explored by a federal explorer. Many small light spots extended out thin lines and merged together to form more
A large spot of light. The largest spot has attracted more than a dozen explorers. Judging from the proportion, the surrounding area of 40 kilometers has been explored.
However, the longest thin line far exceeded that of other explorers, and at least penetrated more than 100 kilometers into the unknown area before it was stopped. Needless to say, this line was the trajectory of Crassus and Kunhe's actions.
Austin said: "Since the beginning of the change, we have obtained 12 new places. In the past, the harvest during the entire change period was only more than 20. This may mean that the real dream is expanding."
"Teacher, with all due respect, no matter how real dreams change, the scale is very limited, and the impact cannot be seen in the short term. The difficulties we have encountered in the mass production of the Children of Hell have no hope of being solved in the short term. And at this time
, the dynasty is still advancing on the longitudinal line, should we shift our focus there?"
Austin said: "I know what you are worried about, but don't forget that the Federation is very big and the dynasty is also very big. The battle between the two giants is not so easy to determine the winner. So far, Xu Bingyan has rejected us three times.
demands for peace talks, and he will not wait until the fourth time."
"You mean..."
"Do you still remember the tone set by the forefathers who founded the Federation?"
"Justice, bravery and sacrifice."
Austin nodded and said: "We have never been afraid of sacrifice. But the current federation is a mess. The Rose Circle is clinging to the honor of the past. The old and new nobles are desperately grabbing benefits without knowing any restraint. Each party and force is immersed in their own ideas.
Here, he is extreme and stubborn. The advanced genetic technology that could have been used throughout the federation has now become a money-making tool for the consortium. The sky-high patent fees have made these technologies the exclusive products of the rich and powerful. Ordinary middle class people will spend their entire lives.
It is impossible to afford any top-level genetic optimization. And, most importantly..."
He paused before continuing: "Top genetic optimization allows the truly rich not only to have a long life, but also to maintain strong energy and good physique even at the end of their lives. In the home star era, regardless of whether there is
Without money, the 10-year-olds actually live a similar life, confused, slow, and losing interest in everything. Now, even if there are outstanding talents in civilian families, how can they survive these two or three years?
A century-old fox? This is truly unfair."
Crassus smiled bitterly and said: "Do you want change?"
"Of course not. I'm just telling you that our strength is far from being unleashed. Only when faced with a life-and-death crisis can the Federation become a whole again, and people's passion and responsibility be awakened. When Xu Bingyan's fleet appeared in the capital
When outside the star, he will find that what he is about to face is not a dog wagging its tail begging for mercy, but a volcano about to erupt! The Federation will never surrender!"
