Chapter 8: The Evidence of Water
A slightly gloomy afternoon, breezy in the middle of the city. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Well, please put these things away." A villager in a gray shirt looked like he was trading with someone.
There was no doubt that that person was me.
Since there are a lot of raw materials needed to build a home, although it can be completed by Akai alone, it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey, and we don't want to go through that process again.
You must know that before we built it at home, we would sleep in the open every day, and it would be a handful of tears to talk about too much.
The raw materials are very cheap, and a copper ingot can buy a set of stones, not just mined cobblestone, but fired stones, which can be made into stone bricks with a little processing. Overall, it's still very cost-effective, at least saving a gas cost.
Now it's useless for us to ask for copper ingots, and besides, digging this thing down casually underground is a big handful, so I'll just come and use it as a moneymaker.
Spend all the copper ingots on my body, and my backpack is almost full.
Looking at the thousands of stones, I nodded with satisfaction, and then rushed back.
I'm ready to start working.
Actually, we could sleep in the hotel opened by the villagers at night, but then the things in our cave were very unsafe, so after thinking about it, we decided to spend time in the cave.
A week has passed, and Akai and I have a lot of supplies, and there are about 5,000 stones and other materials, most of which are traded with the villagers.
I also had a lot of wood for the rest, and a bit of a mess of other things.
In half an hour, I crossed the plains outside the city and came to our cave.
"Yo, Akai, no." With that, I walked in, and Akai's voice came from inside, but it seemed to be an echo.
"I'm down there." Coming from the mines.
I walked over and looked down, only to see Akai halfway down the tunnel, sticking out his head and waving to me.
"What are you doing?" I asked, confused.
Akai has been digging underneath for a week, and he's almost at the end of the tunnel.
By the way, since I didn't know the time underground, I often had to go down to deliver food and supplies to Akai, and then transport all the things that Akai had dug up. So I know the roots of this mine, Akai dug in this mine to the end, but he didn't have the luck to come across any natural mines or natural mines.
Maybe the location we chose is too good, so we can only keep widening the mine to the side in order to dig more ore.
"It's nothing, I've found a long vein in a coal mine, and I'm digging hard." Akai wiped the sweat from his head, then stuck a torch in the dark part of the wall.
"Coal mines, although they are useless, but they will be of great use in the future, and it is good to dig more and save them." I nodded.
There are many items that are used to replace coal to burn, and charcoal is burned at the same time as coal, but in industry, the role of coal cannot be replaced by charcoal.
I walked slowly down the mine and came to a straight mine that Akai had dug out halfway through, and on the rock wall, there were still many exposed coal mines that had not yet been dug.
"Here, I just bought it." I opened my backpack and took out two bowls of rice, which exuded aroma.
"Oh oh oh, what kind of meal is today, let me see."
"It's beef rice." I sat down and laid a half-brick on the floor to use it as a table.
Lunch was eaten directly in the mine, and we didn't have a dining table.
Today's world is late spring, and it will be summer soon, when the weather will become hot, even if the zombie skeleton wears a hat on his head, he can't stay under the scorching sun for a long time, although the day is the hottest, but it is also the safest.
Speaking of these monsters, after a week of life, we were surprised to find that among the zombies, skeletons and creeper creepers, only zombies can become so huge, and we don't know why.
However, according to my understanding, since the skeleton is full of bones, there is really no possibility of getting bigger.
Creepers are creatures, living creatures, and even if they mutate, it is impossible to grow the gunpowder in their bodies out of thin air, so at most what explosions are more powerful, or they can run and jump (so scary!). Variation.
In the case of zombies, because they are monsters, they are undead dark creatures, and their whole body is full of rotten flesh, so it is normal to produce some kind of strange mutations.
Although the world of [Minecraft] is very unscientific, many places follow the law of conservation of matter, and this rule is still getting better and better.
For now, we find that the 'infinite water' is gone.
What is 'Infinite Water'? This brings us to the definition of water in this world.
[Water], which is a liquid (one cubic meter of water) that can only be placed in buckets or water, usually in the form of lakes, seas, and rivers at an altitude of 64 above sea level.
Pour a bucket of water into an open space, and the water will spread out to the open space in both horizontal and vertical directions. Water spreads faster than a mob can walk, and if no block blocks block it, it will cover everything equal to or less than its initial height (i.e., water flowing lower). Water is translucent (nonsense) and slows down the movement speed of mobs (have you ever seen a land creature run faster in water than on land?). )。
And in deep water, the brightness will gradually decrease, so if you don't have a night vision potion, don't run into the deep sea even if you have diving tools, because you can't see anything in the water, and it's dark in front of you.
When a bucket of water is lowered, it will generate a source of water and begin to spread out to the surrounding plots. When the water source is removed, the boiled water will slowly dry up.
After all, this artificially created way of creating water is very strange. Because of the blessing of dragging this setting, you only need to dig a 2x2 (bigger doesn't matter) place in the ground, and put two buckets of water in the opposite corner, then you can get an infinite amount of water.
Infinite water sources can be created in Minecraft because any flowing water with 2 or more adjacent water sources horizontally will become a new one, but there must be a solid block or water source block underneath it.
However, when we came back into this world, we found that the infinite water source was gone, and to be precise, the law of conservation of matter took effect and the infinite water source disappeared.
In addition, water can block explosion damage. If you use a cubic meter of water to separate the explosion from the blocks that can be destroyed, then the blocks will not be blown up. Similarly, a cubic meter of water curtain can block most of the explosion damage and absorb the shock wave well.
However, since there is no artificial water source, it is impossible to use the lifting method of the previous "hydraulic elevator", which is raised and lowered by the water flowing vertically from a high altitude.
We can't swim though・・・・・・
However, it can still be used as a cushion, you must know that the water in this world can prevent creatures from falling to death, no matter how high in the air, as long as you fall into the water, then you can be safe.
Naturally, there is a disadvantage, that is, you have to end up soaking wet.
But I'm afraid of heights・・・・・・
Okay, let's talk about the topic of water first, although the [water] about this world is only half introduced, but if this continues, the author's whole person will be watered.
After all, water acts differently and has different effects in different environments.
Ahem.
To get back to the point, this beef rice bowl is very delicious, not only because of the purity of the beef in this world, but also because the rice is also very delicious.
As long as it's food, it's top notch here.
Carrion too, (the leathery taste is superb).
Clapping my hands, Akai and I finished this meal at about the same time.
I always eat a lot after labor, but I don't seem to grow meat no matter how much I eat, and I'm very distressed about this.
"Would you like to take a break in the afternoon?" I said to Akai, after all, I have been digging all morning, so I should pay attention to the combination of work and rest.
"Yes, there is a plan." Akai exhaled and stretched, "What are you going to do in the afternoon?" ”
I tilted my head and replied, "Well, I think about it, now that the supplies are almost stockpiled, tomorrow we will move our family to the beach, and today, let's tidy up our things in the evening." Rest well in the afternoon. ”
Akai nodded in understanding, "Understood." ”
Speaking of which, we haven't had much conflict with the monsters so far, and it's basically a detour when we see it.
First, we don't have any weapons in our hands for the time being, and melee combat is not what we are good at, as always, the risk-free style of play goes deep into the bone marrow, and we are ready to wait until we have a long-range weapon to hide far away and release cold arrows.
This is not difficult for us, not to mention Akai, who was originally an archer, and as a mage, I am definitely not bad.
"Speaking of which, I saw crossbow arrows in the blacksmith shop before." I suddenly remembered this new weapon.
"I've seen that, it's a very powerful weapon." Akai remembered when I said that.
"Right."
Akai pushed his glasses, "Well, although the attack power is very strong, yes, but, if I'm not mistaken, the arrows of this thing seem to be very expensive." ”
"・・・・・・ true, after all, it's a crossbow made of iron, in other words, it's all money."
The production of crossbow arrows requires iron ingots and feathers, and the feathers are not difficult to get, so you can ask the villagers to trade a few chickens to take home and breed feathers on their own. But the iron ingot hurts too much, and the most important thing is that once this thing hits the target, the chance of recovery is pitiful.
Speaking of ranged weapons, though, we remember that there is another special bow.
"Actually, that bamboo bow is also very good, the bow body is much larger than the ordinary bow and arrow, and it looks very powerful." Akai dragged his chin and remembered the bamboo bow he had seen in the blacksmith's shop.
"Akai, when I build a house in two days, you can help me get more bamboo shoots and come back." I said to Akai.
"Oh? Are you going to make a bamboo forest? ”
"Yes, after all, at present, the current mainstream should be that the bamboo is gone, and the industrial affairs will wait for us to bring back the drawings in the underwater temple where we don't know where."
"Yes."
