Chapter 41: Initial Defense

Faced with such a dinner, Lin Xi only had one feeling, he wanted to vomit.

She quietly pushed back and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

"Not hungry?" Chu Jungui looked at Lin Xi in amazement, there have been several fierce battles in a row, even the test subjects are hungry, and Lin Xi is not an immortal, how can he not be hungry?

"I'm not hungry. You eat first!" Lin Xi looked calm.

Chu Jungui thought about it, no longer polite, opened the feeding port of the breastplate, and prepared to stuff this piece of roasted protein into it. The Survival Warframe has a basic feeding aid, which mixes food and water for the user to suck. This allows you to eat without taking off your helmet in some extreme environments.

"Wait!" Lin Xi grabbed Chu Jungui. "Isn't this thing poisonous?"

Chu Jungui looked at the data of the organic matter separator and said: "There is some toxicity, but there is no significant effect, you can eat it." ”

Lin Xi let go of his hand and watched Chu Jungui fill the roasted protein into the battle armor, and then a straw stretched out from the helmet, and Chu Jungui took a few big sips.

"How does it taste?" Lin Xi asked cautiously.

"The taste of protein. ”

Lin Xi wanted to vomit again.

Fortunately, Chu Jungui finally remembered that she should also eat, took the organic stick attached to the survival bag, folded it in half, and handed it to Lin Xi.

Lin Xi hesitated, but still loaded this organic rod into his battle armor. This thing is extremely high in calories, sweet and sour after mixing with water, and it also has a cheap fruit flavor, Lin Xi is hungry at the moment, even if it is a fruit flavor with industrial style, he feels good.

It's better than pure protein anyway.

At this time, the organic matter separator had already processed the second pot of alien beast meat, and in addition to the protein, Chu Jun returned a small piece of pure fat. Of course, the most important ones are mortar of unknown composition.

Chu Jungui used wooden planks to nail out square barrels, poured the mortar into it and stored it. Then he swept the fist-sized amount of fat and asked Lin Xi, "Dinner?"

"No, I'm going to chop wood. Lin Xi turned around and left.

Chu Jungui always felt that Lin Xi was a little weird, but he couldn't say what was wrong. Lin Xi refused to eat, but he needed calories, and the auxiliary power of the battle armor was halved, which was the time to consume physical strength.

Chu Jungui originally wanted to directly fill the fat block into the battle armor, but after thinking about it, he still roasted it with fire first, and the surface was burnt. Eating cooked food is one of the signs of human civilization, although Chu Jungui's stomach doesn't mind whether it's raw or cooked, and doesn't even mind whether it's organic or not, but life still has to have a sense of ritual.

A small piece of fat is nowhere near as good as an organic bar of the same volume. However, Lin Xi seemed to be able to eat only this, so Chu Jungui carefully put away the remaining half of the organic stick, kept it for her, and then continued to work.

Portable refining furnaces are also refining base metals furnace by furnace. The planet doesn't seem to have a lot of iron. As soon as the refining furnace is turned on, most of the equipment will stop working, or work at low power. So now what Chu Jungui is preparing to start manufacturing is the base version of the refining furnace.

After about half an hour of busyness, Chu Jungui had built half of the base version of the refining furnace, and saw Lin Xi coming back with four pieces of wood rolling in one go, with bundles of giant leaves dragging behind him.

Back at the base, Lin Xi drank a few sips of water, he was really tired. After a short rest, she pointed to the wood on the ground and said, "It's enough to build a house, right?"

"If it's not enough, build the fortifications first. Chu Jungui shook his head.

Lin Xi sighed and did not object. At this time, a crisp prompt sound sounded on the workbench, Chu Jungui walked over and opened the lid, took out a newly made war knife and arm shield, looked at it, and threw it to Lin Xi: "This is for you." ”

The blade of the new sword is thick and heavy, with sharp thorns at the tip of the blade, and sharp inverted serrations on the edges. This knife was specially designed by Chu Jungui to deal with alien beasts, focusing on strengthening the ability to stab and destroy a large area of body. The skin of the alien beasts is rough and thick, especially the bones are extremely hard, and only this multi-ridged sword can penetrate their bone plates.

Chu Jungui now has a better understanding of the body structure of the alien beasts, except for the strongest skull, their ribs have evolved into bone plates, which are intertwined with each other, which does not affect the flexibility of movement, but can protect the internal organs in all directions, as if there is an extra layer of built-in armor under the skin.

In order to really hit them hard, you have to penetrate this layer of bone plates.

The arm shield is also thickened, divided into two layers, the outer layer can be peeled off, and the outer layer also has a prismatic thorn with inverted serrations attached, which can also be used to break the bone plate of the alien beast while defending.

When Lin Xi was adapting to the new equipment, Chu Jungui dug a few more holes behind the wooden thorn trap arranged by Lin Xi, and every four holes formed a slender square shape of 1.5 meters.

He drove stakes into the holes and poured mortar into the gaps. The mortar slowly solidifies, holding the stakes and rocks together.

Chu Jungui then built horizontal strips among the four wooden stakes and built the waste bricks burned from the refining furnace one by one. In the blink of an eye, a half-meter-long, 1.2-meter-high breastwork took shape. However, Chu Jungui was still not satisfied with the defense, he picked up the tool axe, cut off the rib plates of the corpse of the alien beast, laid another layer of bone plates on the waste bricks to increase the defense, and finally fixed and strengthened it with mortar, and the fortification was completed.

Chu Jungui took the survival rifle, and it was a shot at the fortifications at close range.

After the roar, the warhead can be seen embedded in the solidified mortar, which has penetrated the mortar layer, but remains at the bone plate, and has not yet reached the scrap brick. The defense of this layer of fortifications seems to be completely able to withstand large-caliber electromagnetic sniper rifles.

However, the number of scrap bricks is limited, and the production capacity is even more limited, and the portable refining furnace can only produce one brick at a time. Just by building such a one-man bunker, all the scrap bricks during this period were used up.

Fortunately, the strength and toughness of the hardened mortar are unexpectedly good, and the combination of bone fragments can build a good defense, and the output of the two far exceeds that of scrap bricks.

Chu Jungui built several more bunkers behind the bunkers, this time all of them were supported by wooden stakes and composite materials constructed of bone fragments and mortar as defenses. Several bunkers are built around the cockpit, basically covering three directions, with only the direction of the beast that never appears is blank.

A bunker probably consumes the bone fragments of two alien beasts, and the amount of mortar is much less, only half a beast is sufficient.

Lin Xi also had a new idea, she cut some of the fine bones of the alien beast into spikes and embedded them in the wooden thorn trap, which significantly increased the lethality. Now that the portable refinery is running non-stop and there is a steady supply of metal materials, she has taken out dozens of kilograms of base metal, made an alloy wire mesh, and then laid another alloy wire mesh in the middle of the wooden barbed trap.

Still dissatisfied, she took out a lot of bone fragments of the alien beast, sharpened them into serrations, and embedded them in the alloy wire mesh. In this way, the cutting power of the trap is greatly increased, and as long as the alien beast collides, the flesh and blood will be blurred.

After a few hours, a semicircular defensive belt of wooden spikes, alloy wire mesh, and bunkers took shape on the perimeter of the base.
