Chapter 398: Crafting a Weapon
"No, we've been using it for so long, and there's nothing wrong with it. It does suck blood, but I can't cut my own hand with it. As he spoke, Xu Yi swiped hard in his hand.
"It's amazing. Zhou Chun said with some envy, and instantly felt that the dagger in Xu Yi's hand was a supreme treasure.
This dagger is first placed in ancient times, and it is estimated that it can be exchanged for countless treasures.
And Xu Yi not only has such a dagger, but also a machete of the same material.
Now, he knew why Xu Yi's camp was so good. Because, he has an incomparably sharp sword.
"Your piece of metal is also amazing, if you use it to make arrowheads, it must be very sharp. Xu Yi checked the metal in his hand and felt that it was no problem to use it to make a dozen arrows.
It might be nice to combine it with your own B-grade liquid metal to create a few.
"Then let's stay and build an iron furnace, and then see if we can build it?" As he spoke, Zhou Chun glanced at Xu Yi. After all, weapons are also very important.
"Okay, get a blacksmith and I'll make the bellows. "Xu Yi is a person with basic carpentry, and there is no problem in making bellows.
"Okay, then let's do it now. Zhou Chun said happily.
So, Xu Yi immediately called everyone over, and then said his and Zhou Chun's plans, and then won everyone's support.
The military thorn is indeed not easy to use, and they can't use the military thorn to form an effective attack on the fierce beast, which makes them all very depressed.
"Xu Yi, our other weapons are useless, we can make them into gun handles, and then change the military thorn into a long spear. In this way, you can better protect yourself. Qin Fan said his thoughts, and he found that metal can conduct telekinesis, but wood cannot.
If you have a wooden handle, you won't be able to attach your telekinesis to the thorns, causing damage to the beasts. Therefore, the metal handle is very important.
Before, they had machetes, axes and the like. Moreover, there are 50 pounds of iron on the weekend, and after all of them are put together, it should be no problem to use them to make some gun handles.
"Well, good advice. The problem of weapons has been solved, and it will be of great help to the improvement of our combat effectiveness. "Xu Yi has actually wanted to make the handle of the gun for a long time, but there has never been a suitable opportunity.
Now Zhou Chun has made a suggestion, and their strength is indeed not suitable to go too deep. This is the border area, which is relatively safe and suitable for them, and can stay for a short time.
There is a small spring with a water source that can solve their water problem.
After all, it takes a lot of water to strike iron.
Once things are finalized, everyone gets busy.
The beast rat was skinned and then secured with a tripod, and today it needs to be dried and then smoked to make it soft.
This is to be used to make bellows.
If there is a bellows, the flame temperature of the iron furnace can be increased.
Zhou Chun and the others began to look for stones, and then made a stove with the dirt and came out.
In order to facilitate the use of B-grade liquid metal, Xu Yi asked Zhou Chun to cover the stove in the big tent.
The reason for this is simple: to prevent rain.
After all, they can't afford to stay here for long, so they need to keep working.
In particular, it takes a lot of time to make the handle of a gun.
By noon, the stove was ready.
Then they began to chop wood to prepare for the charcoal, and by the way, they baked a few rat skins.
After lunch, Xu Yi rode the black unicorn around to check the surrounding situation.
Within a kilometer of this vicinity, Xu Yi had all gone to see it, and there were no fierce beasts. It can be said that it is relatively safe at present.
After Xu Yi came back, Zhou Chun and Qin Fan were still burning charcoal on weekends. Everyone else is cultivating mental power.
Then, Xu Yi began to make bellows.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xu Yi made the bellows.
This also means that the iron-striking furnace can be put into use.
"Come, everyone take out all their other weapons, and only keep the thorns, crossbows, and arrows. Xu Yi said, and then took out the weapon he had picked up.
After all, there are many people who have been eliminated and died, and there are also some abandoned weapons.
In particular, weapons such as axes and machetes, which do not have much effect in the wasteland, are easy to pick up.
The rest of the team also had some weapons like machetes and axes, so they all took them out.
Stacked together, it's quite impressive.
Especially Zhou Chun, he also took out a lot of iron.
"Let's make these weapons and iron pieces into the handles of guns first, your piece of metal is probably not so easy to handle. Xu Yi said a word to Zhou Chun, and then moved the things to the tent where the stove was located.
The tent is still very ventilated, otherwise there would be no way to work in the high temperature during the day.
The charcoal burning work is still going on, after all, it requires a lot of charcoal.
"Xu Yi, have you ever struck iron before?" Zhou Chun was very surprised when he found that Xu Yi's movements were very skillful.
After all, Xu Yi is a person who has obtained metal forging skills from the gift bag, and he should be proficient!
"Well, I've done a lot of work and learned a lot of trades. The family was poor and did not go to any serious school. Xu Yi said that in this world, he is indeed such a situation.
Otherwise, how can you go to food delivery?
Of course, he himself had never worked as a blacksmith. If it weren't for the system, he wouldn't have had such skills, let alone proficiency.
"No. 6, have you checked the situation of this Xu Yi, he seems to have a lot of skills. ”
In the observation spaceship, Lingqi, who came to inspect, saw Xu Yi and Zhou Chun forging metal, and couldn't help but ask.
"I checked, but I didn't get much information, his relatives are gone, his social circle is very small, and he doesn't have any friends. It is difficult for us to find detailed data on his past. No. 6 said helplessly, after all the challengers are selected, they will investigate some basic information.
"I was curious to see what else he could do. Lately, has he been learning their medical techniques?" Lingqi then asked.
"Yes, he's reading a book on basic medicine. This Xu Yi has a strong learning ability. No. 6 stared at Xu Yi all day long, and naturally knew where Xu Yi was going to leave the medical book he exchanged over the weekend, so he often took it out and looked at it.
"Let the lab follow up, we also need to copy the weapons they made. Lingqi thinks that there are still many places where human beings are desirable, so they can learn from it.
After all, they have only just started to study telekinetic weapons, so they can really learn from them.
