The chelicerae of the digger resemble a sickle, with long palms and not sharp to the touch. However, once the activity is injected into it, it can barely achieve the effect of cutting iron like mud. It can cut a hole in a steel plate by chopping hard.
Fortunately, the digging bug probably didn't use the activity at all at that time, so when it bit the iron hook, its chelicerae had no effect.
However, driven by instinct, mutant monsters will sooner or later learn to take advantage of their activity and become more difficult to deal with.
"The chelicerae are only as long as a palm, so they are too small to make a machete, and the fangs are too redundant to make a dagger."
After thinking about the chelicerae of the ground-burrowing insect, Shen Cong felt that there was no suitable modification plan.
Put it on hold for now.
He then grabbed the incisors of two big-toothed rats. The incisors were shaped like straight watermelon knives, one and a half fingers long, slightly flat and curved in the direction, with an obvious cut at the tip. This shape is more suitable to be transformed into a military spur, but compared to The sharp wolf fangs and big-toothed rat incisors are not very good materials.
"It would be a good choice to make a small pickaxe."
Shen Cong was not in a hurry to use the pickaxe, and Shen Cong chose to put his front teeth aside.
In this way, there are only eleven fangs that can be used. The best use Shen Cong thought of for the fangs of the wolf is to make a dagger. The previous fang dagger was very convenient. But the fang dagger did not Too much work is required, the tusks are very strong and durable and are not easily worn out.
"It can be made into a javelin, but it has some bends and needs to be polished."
The power of the javelin is still very great. With Shen Cong's half-power, injected with activity and thrown out, I believe that even the monster suspected of being a prehistoric giant crocodile will be hit hard.
He needs such a deterrent heavy weapon.
The tusk has a curved arc, and the javelin has very good requirements for the tip. The curved tusk has greater wind resistance and the flight trajectory is unstable. Therefore, the curved front end of the tusk needs to be ground into a straight tip.
Shen Cong made some gestures with a ruler and found that he needed to grind off about two knuckles.
"If the length of these two knuckles is cut off with a saw and then used as waste, arrows can be made. Crossbows and bows will definitely be more lethal if they are replaced with arrows with this active core."
After conceiving the idea, Shen Cong immediately decided to build eight javelins and eight arrows.
The remaining three fangs are left for the transformation of Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor. With the fangs as the active core of the armor, the use efficiency is greatly improved. Shen Cong hopes to make the transformation more perfect. This is why he originally gave the active armor The reason why the armor is named Optimus Prime 1.0.
With Optimus Prime 1.0, it means that there will also be Optimus Prime 1.1, Optimus Prime 1.5, Optimus Prime 2.0 and other upgraded versions.
The upgrade of active armor involves many ideas and needs to be carefully considered and can be postponed later.
Shen Cong first polished the javelin tip and arrowheads.
As a folk expert who can even DIY a doomsday chariot, Shen Cong picked up the electric grinder and immediately started cutting the first fang steadily. There is no active fang injected, and the hardness is about the same level as carbon steel. , countless pieces of powder flew away under the constant friction of the grinding wheel.
Shen Cong, who was wearing an eye patch, had very steady hands and cut off the front of the fangs bit by bit along the drawn cutting line.
After cutting it off, the two-finger-long tip was put aside and began to grind the fangs. Grinding the shape with an electric grinder is a technical job. If you don't work with it all the time, there is no way to grind out the ideal shape. Shen Cong is exactly the same. A veteran driver, six years of DIY work, all repairman skills have been honed to the top level.
After grinding it into a standard spike shape, then polishing it, and then cutting half of the root along the center line, the javelin tip is completed.
The gun handle is easy to handle. It is a piece of steel bar. The front end is also cut in half along the center line, and then polished to match the shape of the gun tip.
After buckling, open two holes, pass the steel wire through it, and then wrap the steel wire around it. Then use electric welding to melt the steel wire, melt it into a circle of iron sheet, and wrap the buckle connection. A simple javelin can be used. The production is completed.
Of course, this javelin has not been calibrated yet and needs to be finely polished. It is best to open a few blood grooves on it to make it more lethal.
I looked at the time and saw that an hour of rest time passed before I knew it.
Shen Cong moved his body, put down the javelin, walked to the cab, and started the nine-hour work of repairing the King Kong every day. All work was secondary, and repairing the King Kong was the priority. If not for his limited energy, he even hoped that one day 24 hours is spent on repairs.
Part of the power supply system has been repaired, the main frame structure has been repaired, and the external armor has been repaired. In the next step, Shen Cong plans to repair the power system.
…
Another day has passed, July 23, 2022 AD.
The regular and monotonous life that was supposed to continue was unexpected. The plastic rabbit that was raised by Shen Cong and kept eating, drinking, pooping and eating and drinking all day began to behave abnormally.
At first, he kept circling the cage and roaring. Shen Cong didn't pay attention, and just threw a piece of rotting big-toothed rat meat into it.
But the plastic rabbit that usually eats the mutated meat like crazy did not care about the big-toothed rat meat this time and was still irritable in the cage.
"In heat?"
Shen Cong made a malicious guess and then studied for a while, but found no useful information.
Compared with a real scientist, Shen Cong can only simply record and analyze, and there is not much information that can be researched. He wants to dissect the plastic rabbit and carefully search for the active core.
Resisting this thought, Shen Cong no longer cared whether the plastic rabbit was in heat or not.
But in the afternoon, it was hard for Shen Cong not to pay attention. The plastic rabbit was no longer satisfied with spinning in circles. It actually started banging its head on the iron cage and biting the steel bars with its teeth. It seemed that it was eager to leave the cage. This had not happened before. Yes, a plastic rabbit in a cage will always be quiet as long as it is satisfied with food and drink.
Shen Cong speculates that the plastic rabbit may be a mutation of artificially raised domestic rabbits, so it has a slightly docile personality.
Now it is obvious that the plastic rabbit has become red-eyed.
"There shouldn't be such a big noise when in heat." Shen Cong frowned and thought. He didn't know much about animal behavior, let alone mutated animals.
But after observing for three minutes, he keenly discovered a phenomenon. The direction in which the plastic rabbit hit the iron cage was at the same place, close to the wall of the carriage.
Shen Cong thought that the Plastic Rabbit's IQ had risen and he needed to specialize.
So he quickly lifted the iron cage and turned it around, trying to interfere with the plastic rabbit's sense of direction - although the plastic rabbit without many signs of mutation could not cause damage to the iron cage at all.
The plastic rabbit spun around in a circle, and as expected, there was an error in judgment. He once again hit a place close to the car wall, but it was no longer the original side.
"Um?"
This was supposed to be a funny thing, but Shen Cong didn't laugh because he realized that his judgment just now was wrong. Plastic Rabbit didn't want to specialize in a little bit and then escape from prison.
The plastic rabbit always collides in one direction, northwest by north.
Shen Cong rotated the cage repeatedly, and the impact direction of the plastic rabbit was always north-northwest.
It was as if there was something in the north-northwest that was attracting the plastic rabbit, and it was a very strong attraction. The head of the plastic rabbit had been bruised and bloody, but it still kept hitting it relentlessly.
