Chapter 49

Opened the small hole to block the smell, which could not suppress the floating smell, so that sumo almost determined the composition at the first time.

Gunpowder!

Or more appropriate -- black powder!

Carefully pour the black particles in the stick on the table, and an extremely pungent smell of sulfur came.

"The so-called fireball skill released by the Kobold man actually needs black powder?"

Suddenly got the news, sumo felt a little incredible.

Previously, in No. 2 refuge, the warlock Kobold first waved his stick before releasing his fireball skill.

Sumo at that time also believed that this was a spell casting action, or an attribute of a stick.

I don't dare to think that the original Kobold man should respect science if he releases a fireball?

"So... Is what Kobold is looking for black powder?"

Hearing Su Mo's muttering, Oreo nodded quickly, indicating that Su Mo understood something right.

The dog headed man tied in front of the table, after seeing Su Mo pour out the black powder, also seemed to accept his fate, and continued to chatter.

I didn't care about the communication between Oreo and the Kobold.

Su Mo opened the game panel, clicked resource scanning, and ticked the raw materials prepared by black powder on the resource option.

[record]: a small sulfur mine was detected in the southeast 465 meters away from the player's current distance

[record]: 2/3 times today

"Sure enough, the thing they are looking for today is this natural sulfur mine."

Su Mo's face was sad and joyless, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.

It is unknown how many times the modern sulfur extraction process has been innovated. Even after the steps of atmospheric and vacuum distillation, catalytic cracking, hydrocracking, delayed coking and so on, the sulfur in the oil is separated into sulfur containing sewage, and the sulfur in the sulfur containing sewage is recycled to produce finished sulfur.

In ancient times without this technology, people wanted to prepare sulfur:

One is to find ways to mine natural sulfur mines like those near shelters.

The second is to extract sulfur from pyrite.

The ability of Kobold people to judge and search for sulfur ore proves that they have touched the edge of science.

It is likely that they have known that these things, mixed in a certain proportion, will make such increased gunpowder, which will increase the power of the fireball through the catalysis of magic.

"Wang?"

During the interval of Su Mo's thinking, Oreo on the other side also completed the communication with the Kobold and walked back.

Oreo pointed again to the black powder poured out by SUMO, then to the distance, and finally to the dog headed man.

"You mean he's willing to take us to the place where the Goutou people mine?"

Oreo nodded.

"I have sulfur ore here. If you want to prepare gunpowder, you need enough potassium nitrate, which is the main component of saltpeter. Maybe the Kobold people have found a large-scale saltpeter ore."

"Go or not..."

Su Mo thought that black powder was absolutely indispensable for making hot weapons and ammunition.

If the small thermal weapon machine tool can be repaired in the end, the raw materials of ammunition will also be a big gap.

Looking at the nagging dog head man, Su Mo resolutely walked up to him and punched the dog head man with a dizzy fist.

"I'm sure to go, not to mention anything else, just the treasure chest exploded by the Kobold, which is also a great harvest."

"Besides... Their nest should be explored, otherwise standing around will always be a time bomb."

After a little meditation, sumo made a decision.

At this time, it was getting late outside. After checking the situation around the periphery of the shelter, sumo walked over.

The backhand checked the rope on the Kobold man again and again, dragged it to the corner of the cave, told Oreo to watch at night, and Sumo returned to the small bed.

At the end of the world, once it gets dark, you can only stay in the shelter.

Pull the light bulb in front of him and turn it off. Listening to the roar of the generator, sumo gradually fell asleep.

...

[January 7 of the doomsday calendar]

[you repaired a generator, which improved the level of scientific and technological civilization (survival point +10)]

[you found an underground relic (+5)]

[when you explore the underground ruins, you encounter the enemy, and you defeat the enemy strongly (survival +10)]

[you have made your first electric weapon, and your combat effectiveness has been greatly improved (survival point +5)]

[you killed five dog headed men with no effort and gained a lot (survival +5)]

[you have captives for the first time (survival +5)]

[scan the living environment of the host. In the survival assessment, 62 survival points were obtained today.]

...

Final settlement: survival +102

Remaining survival: 175

The morning not only brought good news about the system, but also Shen Ke's message flashed in the private message chat on the game panel.

Sitting at the head of the bed, sumo looked at the honest dog headed man disciplined by Oreo in the corner, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

For the first time, a stranger stayed overnight in the shelter, and this man was still a dog headed man.

All night, he didn't sleep very well, for fear that the dog headed man was a wolf who lived through hardships, and a fire burned the shelter at night.

Open Shen Ke's message in the chat panel, and Su Mo looks at it intently.

[Shen Ke: Su Mo, my uncle has drawn your design drawing. This is the transaction link. Just take it when you wake up. If there are points you don't understand in the design drawing, please ask me at any time]

A trading item that only two people can see is hung at the bottom of the message.

After paying two disaster points, the light flashes and the design drawing appears in the storage space.

Relying on the bedside, sumo opened the dead man's private letter used to record his diary and began to write with his mind.

"Today is the seventh day of January in the last calendar, and it's the seventh day of the waste land. It's also a week."

"If the civilized world continues, it should also be December 29, which is two days away from New Year's Day!"

"Harm, this time my sister's birthday seems to be Xiaonian? It seems that I can't live it, and I don't know whether my parents will celebrate this girl's birthday in another place..."

"At present, the materials in the base are sufficient for me and Oreo to eat for half a month, but yesterday's flour consumption was a little too much. It seems that you can only make two meals of oily noodles, which are still reserved for the family when they come."

"You Neng water has been saved for nearly 20 liters. At present, the express delivery cost of this thing in the trading system is expensive. In order to open up more storage space, save points first and don't trade."

"The dog headed man who was caught is very honest. I plan to deal with the sulfur mine near the refuge today and try to mine a little. If I can follow him to find the saltpeter mine later... Maybe I can make black powder, so my safety is very guaranteed!"

"By the way, today's vegetable culture medium is still..."

"Wow! Garlic seeds seem to have sprouted, so does cabbage! I saw a little green in the black soil. It's really a memorable day!"

Subconsciously, Su Mo looked up and saw a little green bud emerging from the culture medium under the sunlight.

This green surprise seemed like a gift from heaven, which drove away Su Mo's sleepiness of getting up early.

Put on your clothes, walk quickly to the culture medium, and Su Mo squats down and looks carefully.

Where the garlic seeds were pressed down, a sharp little green bud had appeared.

In cities, few people use garlic seeds to grow garlic. Everyone uses garlic cloves to bury them in the soil. They not only grow fast, but also don't need to take care of them.

Therefore, sumo is also the first time to see garlic seeds grow such things.

The rise of cabbage on the other side is even more gratifying. There is a small green stem with two leaves on it, about the size of a fingernail.

Like a pocket cabbage, it looks white and tender.

"This rise... It seems that a crop of cabbage will grow in less than a month!"

"Half the time has been shortened!"
