Shi Lei's experiment can be said to be relatively successful, but a helpless reality is in front of Shi Lei. This kind of function is powerful, and it is something that Shi Lei has been looking forward to for a long time, but the output is really small.

Although their size has been further improved and the secretion of formic acid has also increased, the total amount of formic acid that can be provided is also very limited.

What's more, Shi Lei also needs them as small miners to continue digging gold for himself. This is Shi Lei's most important source of income at present, and it is also relatively efficient, so he naturally can't give up.

So this kind of Motorov cocktail-like thing, which can only be made on a small scale, is kept as a secret weapon. It's almost unrealistic to use it as a killer weapon at critical moments, and it's not realistic to want to become a standing weapon.

After temporarily calming down his ups and downs, Shi Lei still had to continue his experiments. The surprise that these magical little miners brought to Shi Lei must be more than formic acid, because Shi Lei also discovered some other secrets.

Before this transformation, Shi Lei had noticed that after the first transformation of these small miners, their nests had changed a lot.

After digesting the ore, the residue excreted by them has a cement-like effect. When all of their nests are reinforced with this material, they become very strong. Even with Shi Lei's huge strength, it would take a lot of effort to destroy these nests.

After this second transformation, the effect in this area seems to have become more powerful with the strengthening of the digestive ability of the copper peas. What they secrete is clearly metallic.

The whole nest has a layer of metallic luster, and even if you test their hardness with metal tools, there will be sparks coming out, and it is clear that when two pieces of metal touch together, the sparks will come out, which shows how strong the hardness of this kind of thing is.

After a lot of twists and turns, Shi Lei finally got a piece back, a lump composed entirely of the secretions of the latest gold-eating ants. This time, I happened to get it to Uncle Blacksmith together to verify it.

"I'm pretty sure it's a piece of metal, pure metal, but I don't know exactly what it is. But I can try to make a weapon out of them, and this one can be used to make a small dagger. Uncle Blacksmith briefly tested it, and said to Shi Lei with certainty.

"Okay, I'll draw a pattern for you, uncle, you make a dagger according to my idea. Let's test it out again to see how effective these things really are. If we can really make good weapons, we'll earn it. ”

After all, Shi Lei still has the identity of a knife friend, how to test the performance of the knife, what kind of knife type, and what function they are suitable for, which is considered a common sense thing, Shi Lei must still know.

It's just that in his previous life, he didn't have so much money, so he was reluctant to toss his precious toys with his life. I can only look at the many local tyrants who are not bad for money, and test the law ruthlessly, and all kinds of magic weapons in their hands.

In terms of knife type, Shi Lei already has a draft. directly drew the knife that I had always wanted to do in my previous life, but I couldn't afford to buy it, and I couldn't afford to wait.

A dagger that was small but looked fierce enough jumped onto the page. The image of this knife has appeared in Shi Lei's dreams countless times, and it can naturally be achieved overnight at this time.

The powerful spanto head combines the cutting power of the S-shaped blade with the powerful piercing ability of the T-shaped cutter head, whether it is a chopping or stabbing hand, it is a good hand. Coupled with a fake blade on the back that can be bladed, and a blood groove that runs almost all over the body, it is a qualified murder weapon no matter how you look at it.

This is the guy Shi Lei planned to make by himself in his previous life, but unfortunately he is a handicapped party, and the things he made with his hands, except for all kinds of food, everything else is a little miserable.

Whether it is making leather goods or making metal objects, the things that come out are not beautiful at all, and they are far from the image of their dreams.

In the end, I only came to the conclusion that I was just a natural foodie, and I honestly gave all kinds of tools and materials cheaply to my friends who were hands-on experts.

As a result, the leather goods he used, as well as all kinds of small items he carried with him, were all in place. Those tools can be regarded as going to the right place, they really shine, and they no longer have to follow Shi Lei, an unreliable master, to be looked down upon.

"By the way, these experiments done today, uncle, you must pay attention to confidentiality, these will be of great use in the future." Thinking of Uncle Blacksmith, he is a recognized loudspeaker, although it is not so unreliable, it is more reassuring to advise.

"Don't worry, I'm not an unreliable person." Uncle Blacksmith patted his chest and promised.

"Although I have a loud voice, I should not say it, I can always be very tight." Seeing Shi Lei's obviously distrustful eyes, Uncle Blacksmith explained in his usual loud voice.

"Those old guys before knew about ant wine and bee needles, didn't they all have this problem, I was anxious to let them get better sooner.

It's all old brothers, I don't want them to suffer more, there is such a good way, so naturally I have to tell them earlier. Uncle Blacksmith explained further.

"No, uncle, you did the right thing, I also hope that all uncles can get better soon, there is nothing wrong with you doing this. Even if you don't say it, since these methods work, I will definitely tell you. I'm just reminding you that today's experiment is important, I believe uncle. ”

Shi Lei just explained his various design intentions for the dagger to Uncle Blacksmith, so he ran to continue to look at his precious gold-eating ants.

It's almost time to harvest a new crop of gold, and the total amount of gold harvested before is almost 50 taels, all of which are handed over to the housekeeper to take to do business. I don't have any gold in my hand, and I always feel that my heart is empty and unsteady. The waist bag is too deflated, and I feel that the waist board is not strong enough.

The small miners who have undergone another transformation did not disappoint Shi Lei, and this wave of harvest even exceeded the sum of the previous harvests. From more than a dozen ant nests, a total of nearly 70 taels of gold were harvested, and Shi Lei's waist bag suddenly bulged again.

After carefully observing the situation of all the ant nests and confirming that the current area is enough for the life of all ant colonies, Shi Lei was relieved.

The size of the ants has become larger, and the demand for food will naturally increase, and Shi Lei is really worried that they will inevitably enter a state of cannibalism. Although they have been placed as scattered as possible from the beginning, there is still no way to ensure that they can be safe with each other.

Shi Lei eliminated some of the earlier batch of small miners in due time, in order to reduce the pressure of predation by the ant colony, and in this way, it can also maintain the purity of their team. If they were all gold-eating ants that had been modified twice, Shi Lei would have been able to harvest a large amount of secretions, which could have been useful.

It's just that every time he has to demolish people's nests, it always makes Shi Lei feel guilty that he is a city manager. It seems that it is better to let these small miners work part-time as construction workers, directly outside the nest, and make a pillar of mixed materials.

The little guys who were eliminated were naturally not wasted, and they were all distributed to the veterans who were in need. It seems that these copper peas, compared to those that have not been modified, have a much stronger effect, which makes the old soldiers complain, and the wine they can drink has become less. Because of the strong potency, they don't need to use so much ant wine to ensure that they are away from rheumatism.

Taking the alloy pillar that he had finally knocked down, as well as a bag full of golden sand, Shi Lei ran back to Uncle Blacksmith. For such a long time, it is enough for Uncle Blacksmith to complete the dagger designed by Shi Lei, and Jinsha has to be smelted to make it more convenient to store.

"Although the pattern you gave me is a bit complicated, I still made this dagger with ease, but I haven't tested it yet. I'm just going to call you over and try this dagger together. After the blacksmith uncle saw Shi Lei, he proudly displayed the fruits of his labor.

The appearance of the dagger is as fierce as Shi Lei's dream, with a different kind of charm, a kind of masculine beauty of a man, which is the appearance that any fierce pure master will love in his heart.

"Uncle is a good craft." Shi Lei couldn't put it down and played with this dagger, and at the same time praised it sincerely.

Such a complex shape is very simple to explain, with the help of graphics, it can be done in a few words. But it's definitely complicated to do.

Shi Lei, who has had a painful experience, can fully imagine the difficulty. Uncle Blacksmith does not have the help of advanced CNC machine tools and tools such as belt grinding machines in later generations, all relying on the hammer in his hand, hammering one by one.

It's just that this shape is not something that ordinary people can make. What's more, the dagger in his hand also takes into account various factors such as the center of gravity, and I think it also takes into account the hardness treatment. The requirements for craftsmanship are definitely not ordinarily high.

"Since I was experimenting with this metal material, I didn't do a lot of processing, I simply made the shape, quenched the blade, and opened a blade and it was over."

Although Uncle Blacksmith said it lightly, he still couldn't hide the satisfied look on his face, and his confidence in his craftsmanship was no less than Shi Lei.

"How are you going to test its performance?" The uncle was complacent for a while, and immediately turned back to the topic. Whether this thing is a good thing or not depends on the results of the test.

The methods used by Shi Lei are naturally those seen in the video in his previous life, except that there is no whole pork to cut, there is still no shortage of other things.

Simple tests of shaving sweat hair and cutting paper are all easy to pass, and the uncle is not very surprised. When Shi Lei threw a hair into the air and was cut in two, Uncle Blacksmith was not calm at all. snatched the dagger in Shi Lei's hand, and the uncle tried it himself, and then looked at this dagger with an expression of being like a treasure.

When Shi Lei really began to chop hemp rope and chop grass to sweep such a violent sharpness test, as well as the flexibility test of breaking the blade, the corners of the blacksmith uncle's mouth trembled as if he had had a stroke, and he was obviously very reluctant to use this little guy who could already be recognized as a good knife, and was devastated like this.

But this thing is likely to be used like this after all, and when it comes to slashing people, the strength is even higher than this. Although he was distressed, the uncle still held back.

However, when he saw Shi Lei take out a big log and keep chopping, the uncle had already become ready to go up and grab it at any time.

After the iron wire and copper wire are cut, look at the uncle again, the whole thing is about to collapse, and it is about to become the state of Xi Shi's heart, and it seems that the heart is trembling with pain.

These tests are only the chopping part, and the stabbing aspect is waiting for it.
