Chapter 045: Dark Metal Arrows and Dark Metal Bullets
Embarrassment, my math teacher was really taught by a physical education teacher, and the calculation power of the protagonist in the previous chapter was an order of magnitude wrong.
In the original text, the protagonist's computing power was 70,000 before the advancement, and 110,000 after the advancement, but it should actually be 7000 and 11000, each with an extra 0
Now that it has been revised, you don't have to look back at what you have read, and it does not affect your reading
After the advancement, Ye Fan's strength has increased greatly, and he has reason to believe that his true combat power can be ranked within a hundred in the Lushan base, or even higher.
Previously, he learned from Qin Yulin that at present, the Lushan base has 180,000 citizens and 450,000 refugees, with a total population of 630,000, and among these 600,000 people, the number of evolutionaries is less than 5,000 in total.
Among them, there were 4,500 first-order evolutionaries, more than 300 second-order evolutionaries, and only four third-order evolutionaries.
Of course, this does not mean that Ye Fan, who has just advanced, can only rank outside the three hundred, because although there are more than three hundred second-order evolutionaries, not all of them are ability evolutionaries, and ability seeds are very rare, so some people who are unlucky cannot get ability seeds at all, and can only advance to the second order as talent evolutionaries or even ordinary evolutionaries, so that even if they advance a little longer than the ability person, their strength will be inferior.
And Ye Fan is even more of a double ability, so even if he has just advanced, his strength is above the middle of the second order
It is precisely because of this self-confidence that Ye Fan cultivated and recuperated for a few days, and then began to prepare a plan to go to the bottom of Poyang Lake.
This trip is not trivial, Poyang Lake is full of dangers and dangers, so careful preparation must be made to control the danger to a minimum.
First of all, he definitely can't do it alone, he has to hire some evolutionaries to escort him, and there must be at least five second-order evolutionaries!
Although there are no fourth-order beasts in Poyang Lake now, there are still at least three or four third-order beasts, even if the lake is vast, the probability of encountering them is actually not very large, but everything has a case, and it cannot be guarded against, and if there are fifth, sixth, and second-order evolutionaries, it should be relatively safe.
However, if you want to hire second-order evolutionaries, the price you pay is not small, after all, there are only more than 300 second-order evolutionaries in the entire Lushan base.
Ye Fan inquired, the market price of hiring a second-order evolutionary is about six hundred taels of gold, if you want to hire five, it is estimated that you will have to pay them a total of three thousand taels of gold as a reward, in addition, he must also rent a ship, plus the cost of the crew, it will cost about five hundred taels. In other words, this time the plan must have a budget of at least four thousand taels of gold to ensure that it goes smoothly!
What a waste!
But thinking about the dark metal refined by the fourth-order beast, everything was worth it, he believed that as long as he refined it and was willing to sell it, he could definitely sell it for a few million taels of gold! And he certainly won't sell, no one wants to sell!
Therefore, the cost of these four thousand taels of gold is not expensive at all!
It's just that now he doesn't have enough cash on hand.
The bounty he had received before was a total of three thousand nine hundred taels, but more than one thousand taels had been used, and now only two thousand six hundred taels remained
The gap is 1,400 taels.
It seems that he has to go to the black market to sell a few dark metal weapons, and with his current strength, he doesn't have to worry too much about any trouble.
As long as they don't run into those four third-order powerhouses, even if the others are stronger and more powerful, it won't be so easy to kill him!
Ye Fan didn't plan to trouble the Qin family brothers and sisters, they had already helped him a lot, and they could be regarded as fulfilling their original promises, Qin Yufei had already said something like that after giving him a bottle of genetic potion that day, he naturally wouldn't be cheeky enough to go to them again.
So he decided to go to the black market alone. But before that, he needed to revamp his dark metal weapon.
He currently has about thirty-two kilograms of black copper, which was refined while killing strange beasts on the road before coming to the Lushan base.
Using his right hand's ability to control metal, he smelted it all into a silver-white sword.
Why is it silvery-white and not purple-red, this is because Ye Fan has plated a layer of nickel metal on its surface, of course, not to prevent rust, but to hide people's ears and eyes.
After all, such a big black metal weapon is really shocking! Its value is more than 150,000 taels of gold!
You must know that if you use the original refining method of the base, you need to refine the corpses of more than 10,000 alien beasts in order to forge such a big sword!
Even Professor Tang's new refining method requires refining the corpses of four or five thousand alien beasts!
Of course, Ye Fan only used a few hundred foreign beasts
It is precisely because the value of this sword is so shocking that it cannot be sold.
And Ye Fan didn't plan to sell so much black metal at once, so he needed to melt some of the black copper from this sword and make some small black copper weapons to sell.
Because the hardness of the black copper is very large, and the melting point is as high as more than 3600 degrees Celsius, smelting has always been a very troublesome thing, but this is not difficult for Ye Fan, who has the ability to shape metal.
He stroked the sword body with his right hand, and the sword body suddenly became a little thinner, gradually showing its original purple red, and at the same time, the nickel plating layer on the surface all fell off, gathering in his hand, turning into a silver metal ball the size of an egg.
He put the metal ball aside, and his right hand stroked the blade of the sword, which was a little thinner
This time he had an extra metal ball in his hand, slightly larger, the size of a goose egg, and different in color, purple-red.
Don't underestimate this purple-red "goose egg", it can weigh one kilogram and is worth more than 5,000 taels of gold!
Ye Fan found a small piece of copper, and once again used the ability of his right hand to control the metal, and integrated it into the "goose egg", but in a few seconds, it was completely integrated, the volume became larger, and the color was still purple-red, but the color was a little darker.
In order to keep a low profile, in order to hide people's eyes, he mixed in a little impurity, so that its purity became 75%, the same as the recent production of the base, so that it would not be suspected.
If the scientists in the base knew that someone had doped the copper with impurities, they would be mad! Because they have been racking their brains lately, the goal is to be able to expel the impurities in the black copper and improve the purity of the black metal! Because as we all know, the purity of the bronze is directly related to the proportion of the power of the blessing ability! If you can increase its purity by 10%, the power of the ability blessing will increase by 10%! Don't underestimate this 10%, it is enough to double the value of the same amount of copper!
Ye Fan also knew that if he sold a 100% pure bronze weapon, he would definitely be able to make several times more profits, but the risk was too great, and he didn't want to attract the attention of the base military, with his current strength, it was not enough to compete with the base military, so he was unwilling to take this risk.
After being mixed with impurities, Ye Fan's right hand formed a knife-like void everything, and the metal ball was suddenly split into two from the center, and the other direction was the void everything, and the two hemispheres were divided into four petals again.
With a slight touch, the four-petal metal block immediately collapsed and exploded, falling on the table, as if the four melon bags and melon skins were purple-red watermelons.
The incision is as smooth as a high-precision machine cut, and the shape and weight of the four pieces of metal are exactly the same.
Don't forget, this is a metal as hard as diamond, and there is no substance on earth that can cut it to change its shape and volume, and there are only two ways: smelting it at high temperatures, or grinding it slowly
Next, Ye Fan used his ability to shape these four pieces of dark metal into the shape of a weapon one by one, which were a flying knife, a bracelet, a spear head, and five arrowheads.
Needless to say, as long as the gun head is equipped with a metal handle, it can be used as a long weapon, after all, many evolutionary abilities have a range of more than 2 meters, and the gun head does not need to be in contact with the ability to produce a blessing effect.
Due to the small amount of dark metal, these three black metals have limited abilities to inject each time, and the number of uses is very small, only five times, after which time must be spent re-injecting.
And Ye Fan's bronze greatsword can be used hundreds of times, which is basically equivalent to unlimited use
As for the five arrows, they need to be equipped with an arrow shaft and fired with a strongbow or crossbow, which are usually out of range and are usually beyond the range of the ability, so they can't be blessed and can only be used for 75% power
Due to the smaller weight of this arrow, the ability injected can only be used once at a time, but considering its large range, it can achieve unexpected results in battle.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that due to the great increase in the strength of the evolutionaries, especially the second-order power evolutionaries, their strength has reached dozens of times that of ordinary people, so as long as they have a strong enough bow, the bow and arrow they shoot are even faster than bullets!
In fact, as evolutionary nerves have become more and more reflexive, guns have become more and more intimidating. A second-order evolutionary like Ye Fan, his neural reaction speed has reached 0.024 seconds, which is more than ten times that of ordinary people, and he can really dodge bullets, unless it is a sneak attack, it is already difficult for ordinary guns to not be able to threaten him!
Therefore, the more advanced the evolutionary, the greater the power of using cold weapons, the closer the cold weapons, the stronger the change surname, especially the dark metal weapons, which can also be blessed to cast the effect of ability, which is incomparable to guns!
So in the future, dark metal weapons will definitely replace guns and even heavy thermal weapons as the main way for evolutionaries to fight!
Even if the black metal bullets and black metal shells are produced in the future, this will not be changed - the bullets have too high requirements for the process, and the black copper is too hard to be made into bullets at present, and the content of the black metal required for the shells is too large, and they can only be fired once per battle, and even if they can be recycled, it is too cost-effective! ——
Because the driving force of thermal weapons always relies on gunpowder and explosives, it is difficult to increase their speed, but the driving force of cold weapons is the human body itself, so as the physique of evolutionaries continues to increase, the attack speed of cold weapons will become faster and faster, far exceeding that of hot weapons!
For example, a pistol, ordinary people use it, and the bullet fired is 400 meters per second, and the third-order evolutionary uses it, or 400 per second, and a dark metal spear, used by ordinary people, the maximum speed that the gun head can reach in an instant may only be 60 meters per second, and if it is used by a third-order powerhouse, this speed is likely to reach 1200 meters per second!
