Chapter 135: Digging a Mountain Tunnel

The stock of dark iron ingots in the warehouse of the main camp of Stack Town is constantly rising, and the ore sent from the Kyushu Martial Arts has increased exponentially and digested, and Liu Liang has so many resources that he is not afraid of consumption, and he can even build some wonders in the secret realm.

But now was not the time to build a wonder, and although he had basically been able to walk sideways in the secret forest, the terrain outside the forest was still terrifying to him, and it was a place that could not be easily treaded.

People always have to go out, if he still wants to become stronger, if he wants to completely open up the secret world, he must take the initiative to get out of his comfort zone.

The next area, Garland Heights, is certainly dangerous, but the benefits obtained are also multiplied, more powerful magical equipment, more mysterious enchantment materials are waiting for him, and only after bloody battles can he achieve the final victory.

Therefore, Liu Liang issued a summoning order, ordering Wu Chenzi to reorganize the foreman of the smelter under the deep well, and promoted Emperor Yu, Emperor Tuo, and Wan Yanye to the surface, and completely expanded the adventurer team, and the final number of members under his jurisdiction was eight people.

Remember the last time the railroad tracks extended to the Hengduan Mountains northwest of the depot? Liu Liang once used the method of roller coaster to fly over the impassable mountain peaks here, and successfully searched for the difference machine in the weather station of Bingfeng Mountain.

This time, he wanted to extend the railway to the Garland Heights, so he should not use such a dangerous method, but should dig through the ground and build a safe tunnel.

There happens to be an unfinished railway tunnel here, and if Liu Liang searched carefully, he would be able to find the historical archives of the tunnel's construction in the archives of the depot office building.

The file said that the Hengduan Mountains were the natural hazards of the secret world, and the project was very difficult, and before that, the two sides could only rely on the regular ships of the southern port city of the secret forest if they wanted to contact each other.

Liu Liang would not be stupid enough to go through the secret forest, and then go through the southern forest to the south to open up a port, and open a regular ship. Because the most powerful forces of Cthulhu are distributed on the sea, those giant beasts sleeping on the bottom of the sea are all surnamed Ke, and the tentacles are as strong as tree trunks, perhaps their power is far better than that of the game Red Alert Lisu squid, not to mention that they are just a regular ship, even a real giant ship carrier can't support these Cthulhu giants for a few minutes.

If we don't go to dangerous places, we will definitely not be able to grasp the treacherous sea, and we still have to work the more handy land. No matter how big the tunnel project is, it is still a matter for Liu Liang.

He led a team of eight people to the outside of the tunnel, and prepared four groups of 256 TNT explosives in his backpack, and it was not too easy to use the explosives to advance the tunnel.

However, the tunnel also has branching offs, and is a temporary residence for former workers on the stone wall, making it easy to work nearby and avoid monsters. But now these branching paths have become the best place for monsters to sneak up on them from the shadows.

Even if there is a team of only eight people, there must be a deployment and planning of the marching array, Liu Liang ordered a group of four people to walk on the left and right sides, always staring at the movement of the branch exit during the march, as long as there is wind and grass, they can concentrate on attacking.

A guy covered in thorns burst out of the corner, curled up into a giant ball of thorns, and rolled back and forth on the ground.

Hedgehog Monster

Health: 4400

Attack: 430

After this thing turned into a thorn ball, the defense was very high, even an innate master like Yun Tianxiao only lost a little blood when he hit it, and other masters rushed up and couldn't beat it, this kind of hard defense made the martial arts masters feel helpless for the first time.

They began to fear in their hearts, this thing was rolling around on the ground and was simply invincible, what could be done in the face of this thing but despair?

But this thing is a small meaning for Liu Liang, I still remember his childhood and adolescence when he challenged those perverted bosses in the game hall and the home red and white machine, no matter how powerful the enemy is, no matter how tricky it is, as long as it has a blood bar, it will be grinded to death if you find a way.

Is it difficult to deal with invincibility? Unless it's invincible forever.

"Don't panic, it's easy to dodge by watching its tumbling trajectory."

The hedgehog monster rolled back and forth on the ground after turning into a thorn ball, its body was very elastic, and it hit in a zigzag path in the tunnel, Dong Cheng was accidentally hit by the thorn ball, and his legs were pierced out of blood and lay on the ground.

Liu Liang dragged him up from the ground and flashed to the side, waiting for the thorn ball to return to its human form and stand up, Liu Liang drew the glow sword from behind his back and slashed at the hedgehog monster.

The red light burned the hedgehog's belly, causing it to bleed continuously, and the others also killed the hedgehog, and four or five people slashed around the hedgehog, and in a few strokes the goods were stabbed to death.

After the hedgehog monster died, it dropped 6 spikes, Liu Liang stepped forward to pick it up, put it in the inventory and took a look, only to know that this thing is called [Stinger], which can be used for the enchantment of bullets and bows and arrows, and it is the kind of thing suitable for mass production.

He stepped on the dead hedgehog corpse and said to several people: "I know that you are scared when you see this thing, it doesn't matter, I used to be scared too, but the more you are afraid, the more you should face it, because we have nothing to fear except fear itself." Monsters can be defeated, and even if they're covered in spikes, they can still find their weaknesses. ”

The three of them quietly sighed a few times, and it seemed that although the immortals were not satisfied with them, their impression was not completely bad. They have this supreme martial arts, but in this secret realm, good martial arts can only play a small role, and awareness, sensitivity, and courage are crucial.

But the real guts do not mean that I dare to do what I dare to do, nor does it mean that I dare to challenge the bottom line in my heart, and the bottom line does not need to be challenged. True courage is not insane or gibberish in the face of the Great Terror, and is able to calmly approach the situation in front of you.

When you find yourself rational enough. These seemingly unusually powerful enemies are less terrifying, and these powerful enemies are full of holes in your eyes, and they can be easily dealt with.

At least these monsters in the early stage have a very high tolerance rate, as long as they don't make fatal mistakes again and again, it's still very easy to kill them.

Two more hedgehogs rushed out of the fork chambers on both sides of the tunnel, and Wan Yanye quickly slashed one of them with a sword, but did not cause major injuries. The hedgehog directly turned into a thorn ball, rolling back and forth on the floor of the tunnel, like a billiard ball on a snooker table.

Masters who are proficient in billiards have a very good memory, and when you look at the speed and angle of its tumbling, you can know where this thing will stop at the end, and it is easier to dodge, as long as you stand in the right position in advance.

Having the experience of slaying the first hedgehog monster, they actively learned the lessons of the previous time and succeeded in destroying the enemy in the pit.

Liu Liang ordered them to continue to maintain the formation, he stood in the middle of the two teams to press the formation, and when he encountered a monster that neither team could deal with, he directly used a glow sword or shotgun to provide fire support.

They came to the unfinished tunnel wall, where there were brackets and eye-piercing machinery, all of which were masterpieces left over from the steam civilization.

Liu Liang doesn't need so much equipment, he has two artifacts in his hands, a pickaxe and TNT, what kind of rock can't be blown up? What kind of tunnels can't be excavated?

He ordered the people to fill the tunnel with torches all around the perimeter so that the monsters would not come out again, and the others stood far away and waited, and he himself went up and carved a hole in the center of the stone wall with a pickaxe, and then put TNT in it, lit it directly with the fire sickle, and quickly fled.

Rumble!

The roaring explosion was really powerful, a large piece of stone wall collapsed and turned into blocks, Liu Liang stepped forward and picked them all up, without spending money to hire someone to clean up the slag.

It's just that everything is done by hand, and when the tunnel is dug, he needs to stay in it for days and nights, and it is simply boring to do this kind of repetitive labor for such a long time.

This game combines all the features of an open-world game, but also has the ability to create wonderfully, in line with the purpose of only the unthinkable, nothing impossible. He decided to build a machine beyond the capabilities of the steam age - the shield machine.

This machine is already very close to the power of God, and anything that others can't understand can become a part of the condensation of Liu Liang's godhead, and he enjoys the expression that others can't understand but is shocked.

The TBM had to perform two basic functions, the first was to destroy walls, and the second was to collect stones. Of course, he can't do the ability of a traditional shield machine to cut and chisel rocks, but he can accomplish the immediate goal and achieve his own goals.

Isn't Liu Liang just afraid to dig out his eyes and put TNT to ignite the explosion, and then personally pick up the stones and store them, as long as this simple problem is solved.

He first made a disc that mimicked the appearance of the shield machine, and then mounted a drill bit in the center of the disc. The drill bit is synthesized with a baitestone ingot on top of a steam-mechanical machine, and a steam-driven piston is pushed forward behind it. When the center of the wall is hollowed out, the drill bit is retracted and the TNT charge begins.

TNT explosives must be lit before they can be fired, and this thing doesn't need to be fired far, as long as it can penetrate the hole, and the key is to ensure that the explosives don't blow up their own shield machine, and finally the machine needs to be able to automatically collect the stones, and if there are ores in the stones, they must be automatically sorted into ore boxes.

To solve the forward momentum of the shield machine first, it is necessary to install two steam engines on the chassis, and use copper pipes to connect four pistons to push forward, moving like a crawler on the ground.

Another steam engine is used to manipulate the drill bit to dig out a hole in the wall where the TNT is placed, and then the drill bit is retracted by a reverse chain drive. The top chest then leaks the explosives out of the hopper, and a fire sickle activates the explosives in the back, and another piston pushes out the TNT again, falling into the dispenser through the other funnel, and the dispenser shoots the TNT that is about to explode into the hole, and then the explosion sounds, destroying all the stones.

At the front of the piston chassis there were four sets of two-row funnels, all the stones were blown up and fell into the funnels, and there were four boxes and four differential machines in the rear to sort them.

Due to the variety of ore content in the rock layer, the four boxes cannot be fully sorted, and too many boxes will increase the volume of the differential machine. However, this is not difficult for Liu Liang, and it can also be roughly classified through the difference machine, such as putting one box for all the rocks, another box for metal ores, and another box for gemstones.

After several attempts and failures, and repeated train rides back to the main camp to find manufacturing materials, he finally built the TNT shield machine.

This is the most complex machine he has ever built, and it takes nine differential machines alone to determine the sequence of each step.

There is even a throne on the top of the shield machine, where you can overlook the entire working process of the shield machine, and more importantly, the chair position is also very kingly, like riding an oversized automatic chariot.

Everyone can imagine this beautiful scene, when you sit on a huge mobile throne, it is moving forward slowly, and every step is rendered by the sound of explosions in front of you, not to mention how cool this feeling is for Liu Liang.

He had only seen this kind of treatment in two films, one of which was the sworn enemy of the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, the self-proclaimed King Xerxes. The golden chariot he rode on required more than a hundred people to carry it. Another special attraction is Cleopatra, the queen of the land of plenty, who rode on a special throne when she went to see Caesar, like a moving pyramid throne, very Asiatic in style, and conquered all the Roman citizens as soon as she appeared.

The fly in the ointment is that this kind of wind-pulling machine can only be used in the tunnel, and when he has the leisure to calm down in the future, he must make a chariot ride like this, showing everyone his kingly posture.

The martial arts fellow practitioners who followed him behind the machine were already stunned, and the acceptance of Yun Tianxiao, Hua Qianhe and others was okay, because they had already accepted Liu Liang's steampunk immortal setting, but Di Tuo and Di Tao and Wan Yanye couldn't understand it at all.

Taishang Laojun did not have Liu Liang's skills and wildness, shuttling back and forth between steam and flame, seeing them tremble all over, when the immortals were surrounded by steel and water vapor, he was alive and well like an alien, not like an immortal cultivated in this land.

In the process of digging, the shield machine spawned a number of monsters, and these hedgehog monsters, in addition to attacking his men, also ran to attack his machine.

The Hedgehog is a creature that can destroy solid blocks, and if left unchecked, it can actually push the TBM's pistons to dig up.

In order not to accidentally injure the machine, Liu Liang decided not to use the glow sword that could destroy the block, but to use the slightly less powerful Scorpio Thomson, so that when the trigger was pulled, a series of bullets swept over, and the hedgehog that was exposed at any time was sieve.

I thought that I could dig through the mountains and enter the Garland Heights without any turmoil, but no one would have thought that I would be able to dig strange buildings and mysterious caves in the mountains.

Again, this makes sense, as wild buildings can be farmed in any one place.
