Chapter 12: I have redstone in my veins

"Well, yes, that's the place, be careful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"It's hot!"

Because the ores are awkwardly located, either on the edge of the magma lake or directly on the top rock wall of the magma lake. As a result, we had to pave the way first and then find a way, but the problem was...

It's hot, bastard!

This is on the edge of lava!

This is death!

In less than five minutes, we had given up on the idea of paving a path from the magma lake to the location of the ore.

The scorching heat made the ground under our feet hot, like a pan of oil, and within a few minutes, we were sweating profusely.

We had no choice but to retreat, away from the magma lake and the huge cavern, although with the light from the magma, we could see that there were several deep mines on the other side of the lava lake, but we had no choice but to take a detour.

In the underground of [Minecraft], many times you will encounter this flowing magma, and if you are lucky, you can also find a huge underground deep trench, these magma are like underground rivers, slowly rolling, forming a network of magma underground.

There are three things to care about underground.

One of them is the underground passage that extends in all directions, referred to as the mine cave, the mine road. Some of these passages have an end, but more often they lead to the beginning of another mine, which will eventually lead to an underground cliff, that is, an underground fissure. It has the same properties as a crack in the seabed, except that it is a crack formed underground.

The second is that these lava can be encountered at a certain depth, and when you notice that the floor above your head or under your feet is heating up, there is a good chance that there is magma nearby. Naturally, if you want to collect the hot ore around the lava, you have to bring a bucket of water. That's why in the original game, you had to bring a bucket of water every time you went to the mine.

You know, you must be very depressed when you see these beautiful ores in front of your eyes, and you hesitate because you don't have a bucket of water in your hand to extinguish the temperature of the magma.

If the first two items are those that are more likely to be encountered in the depths of the earth, or the things that are encountered almost every time you go down to this depth, then the last one is a character.

【Ancient Abandoned Mine】

When you're mining underground, there's a very small chance of discovering tunnels that were dug by people in ancient times. The most important feature of those tunnels is the obvious traces of manual excavation.

On top of this, there are also a large number of timber support frames to prevent the collapse of these tunnels. So, for thousands of years, these mines have been able to remain there unharmed.

There are many walls and a lot of ore that has not been dug up, and almost all of the ore of all kinds can be seen there.

If you're lucky, you'll find tattered chests that contain things that people from ancient times left behind.

For example, diamonds, diamonds, and diamonds~

(How much do you grudge against diamonds!) Me: Nonsense, can you understand the feelings of people who have not mined more than double digit diamonds after digging mines for a month and finally killed the ender dragon!!! )

Hawkers, all in all, it's about character.

Ahem, let's get down to business.

We retreated from the edge of the lava lake, but that didn't mean we were going back in disgrace.

As the saying goes, if this road doesn't work, then go another way!

"This way." I pointed to the other side and said, "Let's keep digging from here." ”

"Uh-huh." Akai nodded.

Bypassing the lava lake, we chose to dig in another direction, and of course, I erected a mark on the road that originally led to the lava lake and carved a few words "magma" so that we could know what was here.

――――Mining Dividing Line――――

If we say that most of the mines such as iron and coal occur a few hundred meters below the surface.

Redstone and lapis lazuli are relative, and can only be found in the depths of the earth.

I looked at the pile of red sand that I was dragging in my hand, this was the first redstone we had excavated, and the bits and pieces had been removed from the jungle ruins.

Of course, it's not just redstone, as we dig slowly, and with the passage of time, we still find lapis lazuli, a pleasing blue ore.

The production of redstone and lapis lazuli is quite high, and I am talking about the amount that can be mined in the same mine.

An iron ore can only be refined into one iron ingot, and the same is true for gold and diamond ore.

But redstone and lapis lazuli are not, because the texture is relatively loose, so when we knock down the ore containing redstone and lapis lazuli, they naturally loosen up.

Therefore, often a small piece of redstone and lapis lazuli ore can be collected in half a group, or even more amounts.

"The goal is in hand!" Akai held up the blue stone in his hand and said to me with a smile.

"Well done." Kicking each other with Akai, we started to rush home.

Because it's almost night! The position of the sun, as shown on the clock, is almost setting.

I guess it will be night when we get back to our home on the ground.

So, following the light of the torches we had planted when we came, we went all the way back.

An hour later...

"Whew, I'm finally back."

The air in the ground is not as good as it is on the ground.

Xiaobai had been keeping vigil at home, and all the sheep in the sheepfold had fallen asleep, and the whole night, except for the sound of those small animals passing by, was quiet.

The stars shone brightly on the sugar-like moon, and the quiet and peaceful night came for a while...

I intercepted an arrow flying at me straight through the air with a fireball, and then with a fireball I raised my hand and smashed the skeletal archers to bones.

"Can anyone tell me why I encountered this kind of thing in the first place!"

"Your character is a problem." Akai also jumped, and immediately made preparations for battle.

The range of our house is not too large, so we just need to clean up the nearby monsters. Luckily, these monsters aren't interested in firelight or anything like that, so we don't have to worry about our homes being fenced off.

Furthermore...

Our current home is the Iron Gate!

A door made of iron that is more reliable than a wooden door!

It's useless to come to zombies and skeletons.

Even a creeper can't blow it up.

You can imagine how strong this iron gate is.

Of course, iron doors are opened differently than wooden doors. Ordinary wooden doors only need to be pushed manually, but iron doors need a signal to open.

You may not understand the signal thing, but in other words, it is a switch button.

Set a switch button made of wood or stone next to the iron door, and press the button to send a redstone signal to objects within a meter of it, causing it to work.

The so-called redstone signal does not have to be made of redstone, but redstone is the most authoritative.

Just like 0 and 1 in the calculator, the redstone signal is, to put it bluntly, just that. When there is no signal, it is 0, and when it is signaled, it is 1.

The problem with redstone can be simple or complex, and it can be very complex, in short, it is something that varies depending on the scope of the need.

In the eyes of technophiles, these redstones can form ingenious mechanisms with huge numbers and complex pulse signals, and it is not impossible to even make pendulums and calculators directly. But like ours, ** silk only needs to be used to open the door.

Opposite to the button, the [Pedal] can also emit a redstone signal, which is set behind the iron door, and when you step on it, the pedal sends a signal to the iron door, and then the iron door will automatically open.

But naturally, when your foot is off the pedal, or your hand is no longer pressing the button, the door will automatically lock after two seconds.

I believe that more than two seconds is enough time for you to pass through the iron gate.

So, we started the long-lost time to fight small monsters in the middle of the night (fog)
