Chapter 56

In documents, sulfur ore, a natural ore, was called "sulfur" as early as biblical times after it was found.

In ancient Egyptian and Greek records, sulfur was used as medicine and fumigation.

Early mining involved miners in volcanic areas, such as Sicily, until the 20th century, sulfur could also be found on the salt dome.

Generally, sulfur mines occur in volcanic areas or salt dome areas.

"This terrain doesn't look like a place where sulfur mines can be produced. Is it really a random burial of resource points, or has there been volcanic activity here before it was put into operation?"

After carefully digging the soil on the ground, sumo found a little sulfur mine like gravel.

This kind of thing, usually if you don't look carefully, or know that there are minerals here, you won't think it's sulfur at all. It's just a colored stone.

Along the terrain, sumo measured the distribution range of a circle of crushed sulfur ore with his feet, and there were traces of its existence within about 100 meters.

After turning around, he found a small slope without trees and with a slightly higher terrain. Su Mo took out a shovel of excellent quality and began to dig.

"Good guy, this excellent shovel can be so much better than ordinary quality?"

A flash of light flashed on the shovel. It was the first shovel move that triggered the critical hit, and the resistance of the soil was greatly reduced in 20 seconds.

A shovel went down, almost like a shovel of tofu. Su Mo pulled out a shovel of soil without any effort.

As the soil was brought out, sumo planed, determined that there was sulfur ore crushing inside, and began to dig with confidence.

Digging a pit is also a technical job. If you simply dig down, it is likely to cause an unstable collapse of the surrounding structure, which will collapse people below.

When Su Mo was a child, he saw someone digging a cellar in his hometown countryside. As a result, it was not dug two meters deep, and the surrounding soil structure collapsed.

When the neighbors around found out, the man had been pressed by the soil under his mouth and nose, and suffocated alive in a small pit less than two meters deep.

Therefore, sumo chose the most secure step excavation method, sacrificing a little efficiency, but the victory was safety.

Under the bright sun, shovel after shovel of soil piled aside with Su Mo's action.

Although it took less than half a day to build a shovel, Su Mo felt it was very worthwhile at this time.

The efficiency bonus of the shovel is extremely terrible, especially this critical hit is unreasonable, and it can stack time indefinitely.

It means that as long as you can continue to dig, you can always trigger this effect.

This shovel can be used as a small excavator when there is no mechanical tool to dig.

"There is no sulfide gas spewing out from the ground. How did the sulfur mine form?"

After digging about a meter deep, the shovel gradually encountered resistance, and the sound of Jingling came with the shovel head touching the ground.

Squatting down, Su Mo wiped the soil surface with his hand, and immediately found the yellowish sulfur ore.

There are tiny pores on the surface of sulfur ore, which means that sulfur gas is escaping.

Take the shovel back to the storage space, and Sumo takes out an excellent iron pick.

[iron pick (excellent)]

Description: a shovel made by the conscientious craftsman "sumo", with solid materials and rough workmanship, was promoted to excellent quality for unknown reasons.

Special effect: 1 Sharpness +1

2. When mining ore, there is a small probability of critical strike (ore disintegration with intensity less than 5)

Evaluation: Unfortunately, it is not the enviable gold pick!

After taking out the mineral water bottle containing Youneng water and taking two gulps to recover his strength, Su Mo picked up an iron pick and knocked hard on the yellow ore on the ground.

A pleasant sound sounded.

The relatively hard yellow sulfur ore on the ground suddenly disintegrated into scattered small ores.

Lower your head, sumo mused to absorb the storage space, and all the ore slag on the ground was immediately collected into the storage space.

"Oh, this efficiency is really high enough. It seems that one hour of mining should be enough for me to use for a long time!"

After looking at the number of sulfur crushed stones received, Su Mo had a draft in his heart.

Triggered the disintegration effect, one critical hit can harvest about 20kg of sulfur ore.

In the absence of a large number of hot weapons, ammunition or gunpowder needs, basically digging about half a ton is completely enough.

Ding Ding, the sun rising in the East slowly began to fall to the West with time.

Every five minutes, sumo had to raise his head and climb out of the hole to inspect whether there were signs of mutated creatures around.

Gradually, Dayi finally came to the horizon.

A touch of sunset light fell on the vast earth, giving the earth a touch of sulfur color.

"Well, just dig so much. When you're finished, come and dig. There's no place to put more of this stuff."

Looking up, Su Mo looked at the sky and stopped his work.

At this time, the excess space in the two cubic meters of storage space is almost full of sulfur ore. according to the purification efficiency, there will be no shortage of sulfur for a long time.

Climb out of the pit, pat the soil on the raincoat, and Sumo begins to fill the excavated soil back.

Sulfur without roots will escape, and the burial of soil can also improve the storage time of sulfur mines.

The originally excavated small high slope became flat after being covered.

After making a mark, sumo turned and returned to the shelter.

Compared with the heat outside, the shelter looks more like a cool cellar after sinking.

Once entering the tunnel, most of the heat is isolated until the temperature rises again after entering the shelter.

"When will the day when you can't take a bath come to an end!"

Standing in the armament room, taking off his raincoat, looking at his stuffy yellow vest, Su Mo looked sad.

For the time being, he still couldn't do such an animal thing as washing clothes with Youneng water.

The hoarding talent of Chinese people buried in their genes.

Even now he has stored about 20L of Youneng water. Su Mo only dares to wipe his face with a rag dipped in water when he washes his face in the morning.

"See the ghost, the world has put billions of people on earth at one time, but no one can put them near the water source."

"Only after the snowstorm comes can we hoard a large amount of ordinary water."

Smash it, smash its mouth, and drink the remaining Youneng water in the mineral water bottle again. Then the feeling of burning in your throat goes down a lot.

A strange survival world.

This is the fact that everyone has found these days.

These mutant creatures seem to fall from the sky like humans. Because there is no water source, a large number of creatures have begun to die of thirst in the wild.

Except that a few animals can survive by drinking acid rain, basically most mutant creatures can only kill each other and live on blood.

No fresh water source has been found anywhere.

The world is like deleting the setting of water source, or to put it bluntly, without adding the option of water source.

Human beings want water. Apart from opening the treasure chest, they can only try to rely on some scientific methods, such as:

Put a plastic bag on a leafy twig, and the transpiration on the leaf surface will produce condensed water.

Or dig a small pit on the relatively wet ground, place a water collector in the center of the pit bottom, and hang a plastic film pulled into an arc on the pit surface.

Light can raise the temperature of the moist soil and air in the pit, and evaporate to produce water vapor. When the water vapor contacts with the plastic film, it condenses into droplets when it is cold, and then slides into the utensils.

These two methods can barely mix a little water source enough to maintain life.

The method of collection has been gradually popularized through the sharing of most people.

Just because of the express fee, some people can't trade even if they have extra water in their hands.

"I don't know why. Even if I make the second well device, the system can't upgrade it."

Just like the raincoat can't be upgraded without being placed in the wardrobe, so can the well.

Shaking his head, he put the strange ideas behind him, and Sumo began to examine the harvest of this trip.
