Chapter 291 Upgrade the library, foreign enemies invade
Although exercise can also improve attributes, the efficiency is too low, and Lin Qian'an expressed disdain for it.
With that little time, he would have probably gained higher attributes by betting on a top-notch dish.
Taking some time off, Lin Qian'an came to the river where the Cook tribe usually draws water and fishes.
The river here is very fast, so it would be suitable to build a waterwheel here.
So Lin Qian'an began to describe the waterwheel to the Cook craftsmen, and at the same time guided them to start making it.
Since Lin Qian'an just wanted the drawings, the craftsmen didn't need to be too detailed, just make sure it could run.
More than a dozen craftsmen worked overtime, and in less than half a month in the game, Lin Qian'an saw the results, a waterwheel that was more than six meters high and could rotate in the river.
Lin Qian'an used her thoughts to go forward and collect the drawings, and then started construction.
The warehouse is filled with enough materials, and construction starts automatically with a click of the mouse.
He was quite lucky, and he actually won an excellent quality waterwheel for the first time.
Because the drawing itself includes installation, the waterwheel will already be running when the construction is completed.
At the same time, a prompt also appeared.
[Tip: You have unlocked the achievement [Water Power Age], received rewards, item upgrade card [White]*1.]
[Water Power Age: Constructed objects that utilize water power. [Note: This is the power of water.]]
Lin Qian'an scratched his chin. If this can be considered an achievement, then does using the power of the wind count?
He made a decision to go back and build the windmill when things here were over.
Immediately, Lin Qian'an took out the skill granting book using Nian and began to assign skills to the waterwheel.
Not long after, Lin Qianan obtained a functional skill.
[Speed up the speed: The water wheel rotates faster.]
Lin Qian'an was a little stunned when she saw the waterwheel turning rapidly at the edge of the river.
Sure enough, having skills and not having skills are two different things!
With this thing, it can be used to collect water or irrigate farmland, or it can be used to use the power of the waterwheel to do some simple industrial production. It is a good thing.
But those are things that will happen later. For now, Lin Qian'an's attention has been attracted by the newly obtained item upgrade card.
He has used this thing twice and knows its effect.
It was a bit wasteful to use axes and arrows before, but now thinking about it makes Lin Qianan feel a little sad.
Of course, such a good thing must be used in key buildings to make it worthwhile.
Lin Qian'an immediately thought of the library.
The level of the skill-granting book will increase with the level of the library.
Therefore, upgrading the library is definitely the most cost-effective option.
However, this library is currently not in line with Lin Qian'an's wishes.
Because this library is only of ordinary quality, it only has a [Concentration] skill by giving the book a skill.
Such an important building must at least be of the highest quality.
So Lin Qianan immediately prepared to build a new library.
This time, Lin Qian'an decided to use the best processing materials to make the library.
That is, "processing wood".
Building this thing requires a bit of stamina, but it's very fast. Basically, you just have to keep clicking the mouse.
After spending more than 1,200 stamina, you can probably get three to five top-quality processed wood.
The number of processed lumber required to build a library is eighty-six.
In other words, if you don't rely on loading files, you will need at least 20,000 ordinary wood to get enough materials.
Lin Qian'an touched his chin, calculated the time cost, and calculated the amount of wood currently stored.
The tribe has actually always had a surplus of wood and other materials, and now has more than a dozen warehouses of wood stored. Most of the nearby forests have been cut down.
It’s not like we don’t have 20,000 yuan worth of wood. The question is whether it’s worth it.
In the end, Lin Qian'an decided to directly spend 20,000 yuan of wood to bet on this library.
Reading files is a waste of time. If you really want to get these eighty-six top-quality materials, you may not be able to succeed tomorrow.
But if he directly gambled with 20,000 pieces of wood, he would have finished it in ten minutes. It goes without saying how much easier it is.
As a result, all the wood stored by the tribe was quickly processed into processed wood by Lin Qian'an's mind.
Among them, there are the most inferior and ordinary ones, and there are also many excellent ones. There are probably thousands of excellent ones, and there are only more than 180 top-quality processed woods.
These top-quality processed woods all have their own skills, either to make the material durable or to give the material some special properties, such as waterproofing and high temperature resistance.
Lin Qian'an immediately started building a library using eighty-six top-quality materials.
They are all made of the best materials, and there is nothing to say about the construction. It was a success in one go.
Library【White】
Quality: top quality
Skills: Concentration, Comprehension, Intermediate Durability, Invulnerability to Water and Fire
Durability:1500/1500
[Explanation: This is a library that will make your study easier.]
[Concentration: It is easier to concentrate when reading in a building.]
[Integration: When reading books in the building, it is easier to understand the meaning.]
[Intermediate durability: durability +1000.]
[Invulnerability to water and fire: The building's resistance to water and fire becomes higher.]
A smile appeared on Lin Qian'an's face, it was not in vain to waste his eighty-six top-quality materials!
Lin Qian'an took out the skill-conferring book and placed it directly in the new library.
The next moment, where the skill-giving book was placed, a holding platform was automatically generated. The skill-giving book floated on it, and the gray surface gradually turned white.
[Skill Granting Book [White]: You can use this book to grant skills to gray and white grade items. The cooling time is one day. [Currently available: 2/2] (Note: Skills cannot be assigned to items that already have skills. When granting skills,
There is a high probability of obtaining primary skills, and a small probability of obtaining intermediate skills. The level of the skill-granting book will be improved as the level of the library increases.)]
The white skill grant book has one more opportunity to grant skills, and there is a small probability that intermediate skills will appear.
Lin Qian'an was very satisfied with this change, and he had even begun to look forward to what the next level of skill grant book would look like.
Take out the "Item Upgrade Card [White]".
Click on the library, and as a burst of light flashes, the library will be upgraded.
Library【Green】
Quality: top quality
Skills: Concentration, Comprehension, Intermediate Durability, Invulnerability to Water and Fire, Photographic Memory, Elementary Mental Strengthening
Durability:5500/5500
[Explanation: This is a library that will make your study easier.]
The grade after white is green.
After the library became a green-level building, its durability was directly increased by 4,000, and it gained two additional skills: "Photographic Memory" and "Basic Mental Strengthening".
Needless to say, photographic memory means that you can have photographic memory when reading books in the library.
But primary mental strengthening is extraordinary.
[Primary mental enhancement: When in the library, mental attributes +10.]
What is this concept?
Now the mental attributes of Nian are only 5.9.
A direct bonus of ten points is extremely exaggerated!
If you stand in the library and build an item, even a large building such as a waterwheel, it will probably take seconds, right?
In addition, what is the concept of ten spiritual attributes?
Is it okay to let your thoughts go out?
However, if you only strengthen your mental attributes without physical support, you may not be able to sustain your thoughts for long.
After calming down, Lin Qian'an focused on the skill-giving books in the library.
That thing has now changed from a white book cover to a green book cover.
[Skill Granting Book [Green]: You can use this book to grant skills to gray, white, and green grade items. The cooling time is one day. [Currently available: 3/3] (Note: Skills cannot be assigned to items that already have skills. Grant
There is a high probability of obtaining primary skills when using skills, and there is a certain probability of intermediate skills appearing. The level of the skill-granting book will be improved as the level of the library increases.)]
The upper limit for granting skills has been increased. Green-level items can also be assigned skills, and the number of times that skills can be assigned has also reached three times.
The probability of granting skills has also changed. Intermediate skills that have a small probability of appearing now have a certain probability.
Lin Qian'an has only seen a few intermediate skills so far, such as the intermediate physical increase that appears in food, and the intermediate durability that appears in the library.
The intensity of these intermediate skills is indeed much higher than that of primary skills.
After obtaining this skill granting book, Lin Qianan is extremely satisfied now.
He immediately began to build a windmill.
Achievements can be unlocked for waterwheels, but can the use of wind power be used as well?
So Lin Qian'an directly commissioned the Cook craftsmen to start studying windmills again.
They had already had experience studying waterwheels before, but this time they were familiar with it.
While they were working on making the windmill, Lin Qian'an also studied the new skill grant book.
The green level skill grant book is two levels from the original one.
Not to mention the upper limit of three times a day, there is also the probability of intermediate skills.
Lin Qian'an basically gives skills about fifty times and will definitely produce an intermediate skill.
There is an obvious difference between intermediate skills and primary skills, and that is the intensity of violating the rules of physics.
For example, the [Sprint] skill, the basic [Sprint] can fly up to thirty meters at a time.
As for the intermediate level [Sprint], it is easily 500 meters away.
Lin Qian'an was given a ski with the [Intermediate Sprint] skill, stepped on it and faced the sky and used it twice in a row, causing Nian to rush thousands of meters into the sky.
It's a pity that there are only a few times of use, otherwise Lin Qian'an would be able to master the flying method in advance with this ski.
Three more days passed in the game, and a simple windmill was presented to Lin Qian'an by the tribe's craftsmen.
With experience, they did it faster this time than last time, and the appearance was more delicate and detailed.
As usual, Lin Qian'an recorded the drawings and then prepared to start production.
Since there were still 103 top-quality processed wood left from the previous construction of the library, Lin Qianan simply used the top-quality processed wood to build this windmill.
With a click of the mouse, filling of materials, and physical exertion, a virtual projection appeared on the ground and began to build on its own.
Not long after, Lin Qian'an got the building he wanted.
Wooden windmill [white]
Quality: top quality
Skills: Intermediate durability, windless automatic, fast rotation, reduced wear
Durability:1800/1800
[Explanation: This is a windmill that can rotate even without wind.]
[Intermediate durability: durability +1000.]
[Windless automatic: When there is no wind, the windmill can still keep rotating. (Skill level: Intermediate)]
[Rapid rotation: The windmill rotates faster.]
[Reduced wear and tear: Windmill durability decreases more slowly.]
[Tip: You have unlocked the achievement [Wind Age], received rewards, item upgrade card [White]*1.]
[Wind Age: Construct artifacts that utilize wind power. [Note: The wind is blowing loudly!]]
Seeing this prompt, Lin Qian'an felt at ease.
Sure enough, wind power also has achievements.
By analogy, there should be corresponding achievements in developing steam engines, internal combustion engines, electricity, solar energy, nuclear energy, etc. in the future.
Looking back, Lin Qian'an looked at the windmill.
According to the detailed information developed by Lin Qianan, the skill of [Windless Automatic] is an intermediate skill.
With this skill, even if there is no wind, this windmill can still rotate slowly.
As an intermediate skill, it really deserves it.
If it were a simple [windless automatic], this windmill would be just average.
But with the [Quick Rotation] skill, even if it is placed in a windless environment in the house, as long as the durability is not exhausted, it can continue to rotate quickly and perform work.
It directly became a small and exquisite building.
Moreover, with the two skills of [Intermediate Durability] and [Reducing Wear], this one thousand and eighty-year durability will probably last a long time.
Buildings that generate energy alone are not enough without mechanical creations that use energy.
On this point, Lin Qian'an asked the craftsmen in the tribe to provide ideas and asked what mechanical work is currently wasting the most manpower.
Then we got the problem of peeling black husks.
Lin Qian'an immediately asked the craftsmen to start studying new drawings.
This time the drawing is a little more complicated.
Windmills are needed to drive gears and shafts to convert wind energy into mechanical energy.
However, after studying windmills and waterwheels, craftsmen no longer worried about these simple wooden machines.
They studied with each other in the library. Relying on the mental power blessed by the library, their thinking became extremely sensitive. In addition, there were also skills such as [Photographic Memory] in the library, and they quickly obtained what Lin Qianan needed.
The machinery was produced.
[Black shell fruit peeling machine blueprint [White]: Processed wood*38, wooden gear*10, wooden shaft*3, wooden large gear*1. (Construction consumes 46 stamina)]
Lin Qian'an quickly produced it.
This is a machine made of pure wood. It looks like a quadruped with a large funnel. It has two openings at the front and back, and another opening on the side. The entire machine is a mortise and tenon structure. From the outside, it looks like
It's like this is how it should be.
Use the best rope made of processed tree rope to connect it to the rotating shaft of the windmill and turn on the switch of the windmill.
Click, click, click~buzz~!
As the windmill rotates, the large gear of the shelling machine is also driven to run, and the sound of high-speed rotation and collision of gears can be heard from inside.
Lin Qian'an threw the washed black shell nuts prepared in advance into the large funnel.
Soon, a sound came from inside.
Click, bang, click, bang....
Immediately, a lot of fruit shells were spit out from the back of the sheller, with peeled fruit pieces spit out from the front, and some more finely chopped fruit shells on the sides.
The principle is very simple, that is, mechanical energy is used to crush the shell of the dried black shell fruit, and then the filter screen filters the small shell fragments as well as the fruit particles and large shells, and then the small windmill blows the light.
The finely chopped fruit shells and impurities are blown out from the side, which is somewhat similar to the "Wind Valley Machine" that has been eliminated by farmers, except that it has an additional shelling function.
This shelling machine is of excellent quality and works well, but it still has some problems and there is a lot of room for improvement.
But it was enough for the time being. Lin Qian'an casually added a skill to it using the skill grant book, and unexpectedly it was okay.
[Smooth: The machine will run more smoothly and will not get stuck easily.]
As a result, Lin Qian'an let this shelling machine start working day and night, replacing the tribe's dedicated shelling personnel.
The rest of the people only need to be responsible for cleaning up the garbage here, and then take away the peeled fruits and put them in the granary for storage.
This kind of efficiency is much easier than the previous process of peeling people off one by one.
The remaining manpower can also do more things.
At the same time, Lin Qian'an also asked craftsmen to study water wheel irrigation and water collection.
This is just a small problem. Although it is difficult to make water pipes made of wood, it is not impossible.
If it can be made, Lin Qian'an can mass-produce it based on the drawings and let them be responsible for the assembly.
And the issues of waterproofing and easy damage?
Lin Qianan said, is this a problem?
I have a green-level skill grant book. I grant skills three times a day. I can’t even use up one skill on a pipe. Are you worried about this?
As long as there are skills given by the skill-giving book, even if the material itself is not suitable, it will become suitable.
Lin Qian'an even tried to build items using materials endowed with skills.
The result made Lin Qian'an quite satisfied.
Although items that already have skills cannot be given skills by themselves, if the materials for skills are given in advance, they can be rebuilt into items.
If each material has a skill, the final tool or building will also directly receive some excellent skills.
Because of this, Lin Qianan quickly developed a series of black technology tools in the tribe.
There is also a wooden cart that can run automatically with the help of a windmill.
This wooden cart is composed of four large wooden wheels and a windmill installed behind it. The brake and steering in the middle are also relatively simple.
When the windmill rotates, it can drive the wooden wheel to rotate through the gear and transmission shaft. Even the best quality can barely run.
This thing comes with three skills, namely [Walking Against the Wind], [Shock Absorption] and [Speeding].
Among them, [Go against the wind] is an intermediate skill that allows the wooden cart to move forward with the help of the wind when the wind is against it.
[Shock Absorption] Not to mention, even if it is a road full of rocks, the wooden car will not shake much.
[Speed] can speed up the wooden cart. According to Lin Qian'an's estimation, it should be able to reach about sixty-seven miles at the fastest.
Now this thing is used by Lin Qian'an to transport food and materials to the tribesmen. A small trailer is connected to the back. It can transport more things in one day than what dozens of people worked hard to transport before.
With the help of these black technologies, the tribe gradually prospered.
However, this is not an option. Nothing built by Nian is replicable, and the skills in the skill-granting book are rarely duplicated.
It is absolutely impossible for the core of civilization to be supported by these.
Even if you can, you can't rely entirely on these.
Otherwise, this civilization is a seemingly powerful empty shell. One day, if the mind disappears for a period of time, it will fall apart in an instant.
In Lin Qian'an's thinking, the dry sun came and the tribe ushered in the second harvest.
The farmland for cultivation has been expanded, and more crops have been planted. This harvest is much more terrifying than the last one.
To put it simply, three shelling machines have been used just to peel black husks.
And it’s also a sheller enchanted with skills.
The granary built by Lin Qian'an has been expanded and expanded, and it contains so much food that it is estimated that ten times the current population can eat it until next year.
After gambling on the [Insect Control] and [Storage Durability] skills for the granary, Lin Qianan fell into deep thought.
If you have more food, you should consider how to eat well.
Beat it into flour to make pancakes or noodles?
Let’s see if oil can be extracted from black shell fruit?
Lin Qian'an told the craftsmen all these ideas and asked them to start research.
At the same time, Lin Qian'an also found dozens of men from the group of men who practiced external martial arts, and set up a food-watching team, asking them to watch the food day and night alternately to prevent it from being harmed by wild beasts, water, fire or other disasters.
This is the key to the tribe. If the food is there, everything will be there.
When the food is gone, there is nothing.
This year is considered the richest year for the Cook tribe. Now that they are so wealthy, Lin Qian'an has begun to study whether to refine the food and use part of the grain residues to process into better feed to feed the animals raised in the pasture.
After a while, the game entered the middle of the dry season.
The Cook tribe is now intensively researching various simple mechanical creations. There is almost a windmill in front of every house in the tribe, and there are more than a dozen waterwheels by the river to fetch water for the pastures and the people of the tribe.
.
In order to stimulate the people of the Cook tribe to study the drawings for him, Lin Qian'an gave the craftsmen a very high status.
The food and resources available to craftsmen are far beyond those of ordinary tribe members.
If you can provide him with valid blueprints, you can get rewards from him, including food or attribute-increasing dishes. Lin Qian'an is not stingy.
This is also the development direction decided by Lin Qianan.
That is industrial society.
Replace manpower with various machines to complete tedious manual labor.
What I have to say is that Lin Qian'an's approach is effective.
Members of the tribe are now using their own creative ideas.
One by one, useful or useless blueprints were being collected by Lin Qian'an, and a lot of strange mechanical creations appeared in the tribe.
At this moment, someone came to the door outside the Cook tribe's residence.
[Macchio: We are members of the Bald Witch tribe. We are here hoping that you can merge into our tribe, live together, and resist the cold sun and wild beasts. 】
This is a very common thing among tribes in this world.
Tribes integrate with each other and live together.
Just like the previous Chuixi tribe joined the Cook tribe.
However, Lin Qian'an would not agree. The merger was also done by the other party. How could he let his own family merge with it?
[Read: We are living very well now and do not need to merge into other tribes, but if you are willing, you can merge into our tribe. 】
[Maggio: How many people are there in your tribe? 】
[Read: one thousand two hundred people.]
[Macchio: Our Bald Witch Tribe is a large tribe with 5,000 people. How could it be possible to merge into a small tribe like yours? 】
[Read: Then go back, we will never choose to merge. 】
Hearing the sound, the man named Macchio wanted to persuade him again, but Nian was nowhere to be seen.
So he could only retreat.
Lin Qian'an thought this was just a harmless episode and didn't take it to heart.
Who knew that not long after, he saw hundreds of men armed with wooden shields and spears and wearing rattan armor arriving in front of the tribe.
[Horo: I am Horo, the leader of the Bald Witch Tribe. As long as people from the Cook Tribe join us, there will be food in the cold weather, wild beasts will not harm us, and everything will be fine. But if you refuse, we will
Use weapons to break down your doors and rob you of your food and women...]
