Chapter 248: Roasted Bear's Paws
In a small secret realm.
The hemispherical silver-white building stands on the meadow in the middle of the forest, like an upside-down bowl. On the silvery-white surface, you can see six grid-like lines, with archbridge-like interfaces in each of the four directions, but they are closed at the moment.
As the central part of the entire colony, the role of the Colonial Square is not only to provide a meeting place for the colonists, but also to provide the core of all functional facilities. Mining facilities, warehouses, and power generation facilities will be connected to Colony Square by pipes.
It can be said that this is the heart of the entire colony.
Outside the silver-white hemispherical building, the unicorn munched leisurely on the grass, curiously looking at this uninvited guest, surrounded by butterflies among the flowers, and a hare or two scurrying by the bushes from time to time, the whole scene of paradise.
After arriving at the small secret realm through the portal, Jiang Feng walked out of Colonial Square through the activity door, stood outside and looked around, and a satisfied expression immediately appeared on his face.
"It's not bad, the carbon nano polymer material shell, coupled with the aluminum alloy coating, should have no problem withstanding attacks below the damage coefficient of less than fifty, and if you need it in the future, you can slowly reinforce it."
"The next step should be oxygen supply...... However, the oxygen content in this small secret realm is quite sufficient, so this step can be omitted and replaced with a filter vent. ”
"Then there's the mining and power equipment, and the iron ore veins and the magma layer are very close together, and the two problems can be solved together." Looking at the distribution of minerals on the map, Jiang Feng touched his chin and thought in his heart, "Maybe I should build a magnetic track to connect Colonial Square with the mining area to transport minerals and electricity." ”
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng immediately checked the resource inventory of the lower colony, but as soon as he saw the iron resource stock, his expression suddenly felt a little subtle embarrassment.
"Ten tons of iron ingots remain......"
Ten tons of iron ingots, even if the construction is carried out according to the most frugal standards, can lay about 300 meters of magnetic rails at most. However, Colony Square was a full ten kilometers away from the mine.
“…… It seems that we can only wait for steel production to rise, and then slowly promote the orbitalization of industrial transportation. Jiang Feng shook his head helplessly, gave up the idea of laying magnetic tracks, and chose to use mining transportation drones and bury wires under the surface to transmit electricity.
After determining the goal, Jiang Feng immediately began to implement it.
First, the storage ring was used to move the resources of the drone hive and storage area to the vicinity of the rock vein, which was ten kilometers away. After redeploying the drone hive, Jiang Feng restarted the construction process.
Watching the milky white air mass ploughing on the rock wall, Jiang Feng stayed on the construction site for a while, then turned around and walked in the direction of the colony.
He now needs to make a trip back to the shelter to solve the problem with the mining equipment.
Although the nano-drone swarm can also separate minerals from the ore veins, the efficiency is too low, and it is not even as good as a few aborigines with a mine pickaxe.
On the way back to Colonial Square, Jiang Feng accidentally ran into a storm bear that was out foraging.
If it was before, this kind of large demonic beast would be enough for him to fight seriously, but for him, who was already standing at the peak of a one-star wizard, there was no threat to this level of demonic beast.
Raining fireballs smashed through, breaking Storm Bear's defenses, followed by two ground spikes that pierced the ground and pierced through the thick fat on Storm Bear's belly.
Without the support of his spiritual power, the ground that pierced through Storm Bear's chest shattered into gravel, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang.
Jiang Feng took out the dagger, stepped forward, and skillfully disassembled the corpse of the storm bear.
This guy can be said to be a treasure all over his body, thick fat can be trained into bear oil, and the outer fur can be made into a good coat. As for the internal organs, they are highly valuable, both as ingredients and as ingredients for refining potions. One of the most valuable is the bile of the Storm Bear, which is a necessary ingredient for the configuration of the Storm Potion and the Brute Bear's power, and if it is taken to the Rock Town, it can even be sold for a sky-high price of one magic stone per milliliter, and it has no market.
Even bear meat is a rare tonic, especially bear paws......
"Looks like we can eat roasted bear's paws tonight." Licking his dry lips, thinking of the deliciousness, Jiang Feng almost drooled down.
Without wasting a single bit of food, he collected all the materials he could use, and then buried the remaining bones on the spot and returned them to the forest.
Carrying the heavy package, Jiang Feng returned to the shelter.
As he walked out of the experimental area, Ira was sitting cross-legged on the couch in the living area meditating.
It's rare to encounter a tide of magic, and she naturally won't let go of this opportunity to improve her abilities in vain.
Although witchcraft and paranormal abilities are two very different systems of power, they are essentially interference of spiritual energy in the physical world. The method of exercising mental power through meditation is also effective for those with extraordinary abilities...... At least it's much better than her original stupid method of simply consuming mental energy to exercise.
"You're back...... What is it? Opening her eyes, Yi Ran saw the bag that Jiang Feng was carrying in her hand and asked curiously.
"Good thing, roast bear's paws tonight, speaking of which, what about Emily?"
"Emily? She was with her sister, and the half-elves seemed to be holding a funeral for their dead compatriots and the Ancient Tree of Life......" Halfway through the words, Yiran's stomach suddenly "grunted" very angrily.
The atmosphere that had been a little heavy at the beginning was suddenly relieved.
Yi Ran's face turned red, and she looked at Jiang Feng, who couldn't help laughing, and glared at him fiercely.
"Look, look at what I'm doing...... Don't you scream when you're hungry? ”
The corners of Jiang Feng's mouth curved, and he shook the bag in his hand.
"Want to eat?"
"Hmm......"
Reluctantly, Ira nodded honestly.
Even with a critical eye, she had to admit that Jiang Feng's cooking skills were indeed very clever. Every time he cooked, her meals more than doubled.
"If you want to eat, come and help."
Looking at Jiang Feng who was walking towards the work area, Yi Ran reluctantly climbed down from the sofa and muttered something in a low voice.
“…… What are you going to do for you, I don't know what is too hard. ”
"I don't expect you to understand the hard stuff, I'll do Emily and Leia's share in a while, I'll send it to them for me, remember not to steal food on the road."
Willow eyebrows raised, and Yiran protested indignantly: "What do you mean, am I that kind of person?" ”
"I don't mean anything else, just give you a vaccination in advance." Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile in a joking tone.
……
Storm Bear's paws are thick, both on the outside and on the bottom of the skin.
Strictly speaking, freshly cut bear's paws cannot be eaten immediately, and they must be completely dried in the second year before they can be stewed or charcoal-grilled. Moreover, the newly cut bear paws were also quite particular about processing, but Jiang Feng obviously didn't have time to ponder those things, and after a simple wash, he turned on the stove on the cooking table.
Cooking the ingredients on Warcraft is very different from cooking ordinary livestock game. Not only do you want to taste it, but you also want to preserve the magic of the ingredients as much as possible.
The resulting dish not only satisfies the appetite, but also improves the physique of the eater like a magic potion. Although this boosting effect is not as domineering as a potion, but it is subtle, but the effect is permanent and there are many fewer side effects......
These are all techniques that Jiang Feng summed up from the books of these aborigines. Combined with the "Alien Gastronomy" he had elected, he even created his own ingenious discipline - "Magical Gastronomy".
A bear paw about the size of an adult's belly hung upside down on the iron shelf, and then Jiang Feng picked up the welding torch.
That's right, it's the welding gun!
After testing the fire, Jiang Feng pressed the switch, and under Yi Ran's stunned gaze, he poked the high-temperature flame with a wide open and closed it, burning away the mane on the surface of the storm's raging paw.
As the hair was burned to the ground, and the outer layer of bear skin was also a little crispy, Jiang Feng put down the welding torch, skillfully removed a scalpel-like slender knife, and cut dozens of evenly spaced openings on the bear's paw with a few clicks.
Then, he removed the orange-yellow potion from the display shelf and poured it on the bear's paws.
It had just been coarsely roasted by the fire of the welding torch before, and the golden potion was bubbling from the residual heat of the bear's paw surface.
"This thing...... Can you eat it? Yi Ran tilted her head, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she was about to ask, but before she could speak, a wisp of food entered the tip of her nose, overturning all the confusion in her heart in an instant.
I saw Jiang Feng holding a brush, dipped in a honey-like sauce, and evenly smeared it on the bear's paw. In an instant, the bear's paw, which originally looked bloody, was suddenly plated with a layer of appetizing gold.
Turning on the fire on the stove, Jiang Feng threw away the brush in his hand, clapped his hands confidently, and took two steps back and said.
"An hour, just watch."
