Chapter 05 Iron Furnace

The materials for building woodworking workshops are in great demand. Qin Xiaochuan dug all the islands, and removed the materials for making stone axes and stone picks, and only got 40 parts of stone. As for the wood, Qin Xiaochuan cut down all the mangroves on the island and collected more than 200 parts of wood.

Four or five saplings exploded among these mangroves. Qin Xiaochuan inserted the saplings into the soil at will. As for whether they could survive, it would be left to fate.

It was already evening after finishing these tasks. Qin Xiaochuan added enough wood to the bonfire and put all the materials into the manufacturing station to process them. Then he was taken off the shelter.

As soon as he got off the line, Zhao Fei came over with a bowl of instant noodles and said while eating, "Damn, you are so obsessed with it. Are you hungry if you haven't eaten for a day?"

"Uh... I really don't feel it in the game, and the helmet's life monitoring system did not call the alarm."

Zhao Fei put down the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "I just went to the official website. The latest news is that many players have recently picked up drift bottles on the beach. It is said that there are rare supplies in the drift bottles, and they can be exchanged with some ordinary resources."

"Now there are not enough ordinary resources, so how can I exchange for those supplies that I can't use for the time being?" Qin Xiaochuan pursed.

"Don't underestimate it. I heard that there is a chance that a blueprint will appear in the drift bottle. Someone broke the news online. He spent twenty pieces of wood to exchange for a blueprint for a fishing rod. Now he doesn't have to work hard to plant fish. He used sea cucumber strips as bait to catch a lot of big fish."

"Fishing rod?" Qin Xiaochuan's eyes lit up. This is a rare product.

"Anyway, the news tells you, you should pay more attention to the sea surface if you have nothing to do." After that, Zhao Fei went to bed and put on a helmet.

Taking out a bucket of instant noodles from under the bed, Qin Xiaochuan sighed. He could eat Shanghai food in the game, but in reality he could only eat instant noodles.

Log in to the game again, the manufacturing station is still making wood and stone, and has brushed a few more pieces of wood nearby. He has not lacked it for the time being, so he has not taken action.

He is short of stones and iron blocks now, and the stones will be refreshed by the beach. The iron ore is not easy to do. The watch shows that there are a lot of iron ore on the island, but they are all under the ground, so it is very difficult to dig.

He first walked around the bush forest, collected the refreshed vines and threw them into the manufacturing platform, and then started mining with the remaining two stone picks that were more than half durable during the day.

Qin Xiaochuan came to a yellow spot, and the watch only marked the location and did not mark the depth. He only prayed that the mine spot should not be too deep.

Qin Xiaochuan lit a torch from the bonfire and inserted it on the ground, shining it around. There was no moon tonight, and it was pitch black everywhere. The wind from the sea was blowing. Qin Xiaochuan is still wearing short-sleeved shorts for novices.

Pooh!

Qin Xiaochuan spitted, picked up the stone pick and began to dig the soil crazily, his body began to heat up gradually, and the flames of the torch dragged his figure out for a long time.

About half an hour, Qin Xiaochuan dug a meter deep. He stopped to rest. At this moment, he was sweating profusely.

"Is this playing a game? Or being played by a game?"

After checking the condition, Qin Xiaochuan took out the coconut to replenish the water and then dried it.

At four o'clock in the morning, the pickaxe suddenly dug a hard object and broke it, and all the two stone pickaxes were destroyed. Qin Xiaochuan happily digs out the soil and touches the exposed object, and a property appears in his sight.

This is indeed an iron ore, with a durability of 200 points. Qin Xiaochuan climbed out of the pit and took out the stone pick that he had just made first from the production platform and then turned around and jumped back into the pit.

The stone pickaxe hit the ore and produced a slight jingle sound, and a large vibration came from the wooden handle.

He waved his stone pickaxe to dig continuously, and the durability of the ore was quickly exhausted. The carbide was broken into pieces, leaving five relatively even pieces on the ground.

"Ding! You have successfully obtained the iron ore, Tech Point 1, unlock the blueprint: Iron Furnace!"

Qin Xiaochuan didn't expect that mining could unlock the blueprint. He opened the blueprint system and found that the iron furnace was originally a smelting facility that matched the iron ore. It can not only be used to smel minerals, but also to cook food. It takes twenty pieces of stone to make it.

What was a little uncomfortable was that Qin Xiaochuan only dug five iron ore in half a night, which was much harder than he thought.

The remaining vines were only enough to make a stone pickaxe, so he had to carefully study the yellow dots and find the best place to start.

However, there are only a few mines on the island, all underground, and two underwater near the coast. He doesn't think he can dig ore in twenty-three seconds.

Qin Xiaochuan still wanted to dig it out, but suddenly felt a little dizzy and sore and weak. When he opened his body, he saw that his mental power had dropped to about 40 o'clock, so he had to rest.

He fell into the shack and fell asleep. Sleeping in the game with a helmet can also relax his brain in reality, so it doesn't matter whether he retreats or not.

It was ten o'clock in the morning when Qin Xiaochuan got up and found that his mental power had reached more than ninety o'clock.

After catching a coconut and eating it, Qin Xiaochuan decided to catch two fish first. He was almost vomiting when he kept eating coconut. Before leaving, he looked at the stones in his backpack and decided to make an iron stove first. It was almost time to make a two-hour production time when he came back after the fish was harvested.

He came to the reef with a harpoon. The morning sun shone on the water, making the colorful shells and sand grains under the water look particularly pure. While he was staring at the bottom of the water to check the traces of the fish, a dazzling white light suddenly flashed upon him. Qin Xiaochuan reached out to cover the sunlight and saw a transparent drift bottle the size of a beer bottle.

“Drift bottle?!”

Qin Xiaochuan subconsciously said it and rushed over. Unexpectedly, he heard Zhao Fei say that he actually met him.

The bottle was picked up from the edge of the reef, and the mouth of the bottle was sealed by something dark, but as soon as he picked it up, a system prompt box popped out.

Drifting bottle from afar: I don’t know what is placed in the bottle, it looks very mysterious.

This drift bottle is available. Qin Xiaochuan opened it directly, and a transaction column popped up in front of him, showing the materials currently stored in the drift bottle.

"Ten parts of rope, priced at twenty-five coconuts... Twenty parts of stone, priced at sixty coconuts. Two parts of iron, priced at thirty coconuts?"

Qin Xiaochuan was happy. It was really time for this drifting bottle to come. He had already lighting the vines on the island. It had not been refreshed for two days. He was worried that there was no rope to make a pickaxe. Now there was a way.

Qin Xiaochuan returned to the shack. Now he hasn't had many other coconuts, and more than 20 coconut trees on the island are full of mature coconuts, and at least more than a thousand people fall underground.

After the transaction was completed, the materials were all put into Qin Xiaochuan's backpack. The system prompted to throw the drift bottle back into the sea, otherwise the drift bottle would not appear in the future.

Although there is no special harvest, it is always good to be able to make two more picks. At about twelve o'clock, Qin Xiaochuan successfully caught two half a pound of sea fish, with a little red in white, and he couldn't call his name.

Although I don’t know if I can eat it, I have no other choice. Anyway, I am on my own island, I don’t have to worry about death, and I can still pick up the things I have on my body.
Chapter completed!
