On the boundless wilderness, most of the ice and water that were full of ice and water yesterday have disappeared by now, and have been replaced by plants all over the sky.

And the ice and water didn't disappear completely, they gathered in the lower areas, becoming small ponds, small lakes, and even more expansive bodies of water.

When viewed from above, these surfaces of water look like huge mirrors, reflecting the blue sky. The reddish-brown and yellow-green plants, like a huge mottled carpet, occupy the whole view.

"It's really like the earth here......"

Lin Yue looked at the wasteland, hills, and water on the ground, and couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery of the grassland he had seen when he was on Earth.

In this other world, I didn't expect to see such a view.

However, there are no cattle or sheep here, some are mutated creatures that wander around on this "carpet" like small black dots.

And the number seems to be quite staggering.

"Quack." Xiao Bai let out a low roar, its flame-like pupils staring at the mutated creatures on the ground, which were more numerous, than usual, and seemed to be worried.

Indeed, with so many mutated creatures living dozens of kilometers away from the Vault, would they pose a threat?

"Don't worry, it's just the quantity." Lin Yue comforted his little friend, compared to this, he was more worried about the problem of opening the low-level treasure chest again when he turned around.

Lin Yue looked around again, the scenery still didn't change, and there was nothing worth noting.

The direction in which the two giant creatures came was obviously from this side.

According to the previous laws of natural sulfur ore mountains and saltpeter mines, there should be a huge mine at the center of the original range of activities of giant creatures.

And this mine is what the system calls a "resource point".

Both natural sulphur ore and saltpeter ore are extremely important resources, which can help survivors master techniques such as gunpowder at an early stage, and even play a role in previous disasters.

However, he had not found anything so far.

But then again, it seems that only the first pack ox snake dragon can spew poisonous gas, causing people to have a high fever or something, and the giant creatures after that are all very ordinary, just relatively large, with rough skin and thick flesh.

Looking at the ground of the wasteland, the distribution of the mad poison grass that had already thinned out a lot, Lin Yue still didn't understand why this was happening.

At that time, he had a high fever, as if it were a dream.

However, he was not alone in this dream.

There were also quite a few people in the previous group and later on the World Channel who talked about it. Even in the wasteland, the owner of the mysterious diary, Uncle Wang of the family and himself had the experience of fever, but Uncle Wang died, and that person was still alive.

But speaking of which, the high fever was just too outrageous.

Sudden onset of illness will suddenly directly burn people to the point of confusion, and then quickly drain people's physical strength, making people so weak that they can't do it.

Then, the high fever disappeared as if it had never been.

The whole process is quite magical.

At that time, he had seen countless seeds of mad poison grass on the giant creature pack ox snake dragon, and he had also guessed whether it was because the pack ox snake dragon ate natural sulfur ore, and after eating mad poison grass again, the poison gas added to make people instantly have a high fever or something.

But this is only his speculation, and it is not entirely correct.

After all, he later learned from the chat history of the World Channel that this is not the case only on the Wasteland.

In other places, there are similar cases of "high fever", and some people die without it, but many people still survive.

Among them, there are indeed people like Lily Karahao, Casbal and others.

So was his previous guess still right? Lin Yue didn't have any more evidence and intelligence now, so he could only believe that it was true for the time being.

"Quack?" At this time, Xiaobai suddenly spoke up, interrupting his thinking.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yue found that Xiaobai's flight altitude was constantly decreasing, and his speed had become much smoother.

After a while, Xiaobai landed on the ground, and after Lin Yue jumped from its back to the ground, he suddenly found that dozens of mutant creatures that he had never seen before had surrounded this side from a distance!

"Good guy, you're pretty aggressive!"

Lin Yue had no intention of observing what these things looked like, he put on the armor and exoskeleton as quickly as possible, and when he first picked up the sniper rifle, those mutated creatures with a long roar had already rushed to a distance of only 100 meters, and Xiao Bai beside him also rushed out at this time!

With a mixture of roars and wails, crashes and bites, the surroundings fell silent again.

Xiaobai flicked his tail, shook the blood off his arm, and the furious roar gradually subsided.

Lin Yue looked at the corpses of the twenty-three mutated creatures lying on the ground, turned his head and glanced at Xiaobai again, and couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart.

Xiaobai's combat power is now able to control these mutated creatures the size of a rhinoceros in a blink of an eye?

Just as he sighed, Xiaobai had already dragged the corpses of all the mutated creatures over and turned them into a small pile.

The monsters on the ground, each one of them looked heavy, they all had snake-like scales, but they were black. The head is similar to that of a canine, and it has a long horn turned out, red eyes, and a mouth full of fangs that looks quite scary.

"It's a pity that you can't eat it." Lin Yue examined it and found that the meat of this mutated creature named "Dorusta" was evaluated as "difficult to swallow", and the scales didn't seem to be too hard to use.

Lin Yue finally put away all the corners of their heads, and took all the corpses away.

Although it's useless, if the corpse is buried in the soil and rots, it can still attract some more small insects or something, and you can get some wooden treasure chests if you don't have to step on the dead point.

These wooden treasure chests turned back and let the Xiaoice lizards open them, just right.

"Quack." Xiao Bai roared again, as if reminding Lin Yue of something.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yue didn't hear any meaning of the crisis in this voice, he turned his head to look in the direction that Xiao Bai's arm was pointing, and suddenly saw a "river"!

He ran over quickly, towards the bubbling river with sticky yellow-black "water", and when he got closer, he couldn't help but take a deep breath!

"It's ...... Wait, is this ......"

【Crude Oil】

Crude!

The systematic appraisal quickly told Lin Yue what an amazing thing he had discovered!

"It's really crude oil!"

Lin Yue looked at the extremely slow-flowing black river in front of him, and felt an unprecedented joy and excitement!

Is this actually crude oil, a river of oil?

It's also a "river of energy"!

Oil, which can be said to be the blood of the earth's modern industry and the basis of its livelihood, is the so-called "liquid gold"! Controlling oil means development, it means money.

It can even be said that it is one of the most important factors that can affect the foundation of a place's economy!

Today's science and technology are also based on oil, whether it is industrial production or daily life, it is inseparable from oil.

Primary oil, that is, crude oil, through further refining, will produce gasoline, kerosene and diesel, and heavy oil can continue to refine asphalt, fuel oil, lubricating oil, paraffin, solvent gasoline and so on.

It also produces organic compounds, which can go through various processes to become various chemical fibers, ethylene, plastic products, paints, and various detergents, affecting all aspects of life.

It is so important that it is also a precious energy source that all forces on the earth want to obtain, and it can be said that before all kinds of new energy sources are greatly developed and applied maturely, oil is a major strategic resource that can determine almost everything!

"Oil was discovered...... Good guys, I'm going to take off, am I? ”

Lin Yue was still excited at the moment, this seemed to be the first time he had done this.

With oil, you don't have to go to others for your various energy needs in the future......

Wrong.

"If there is only oil, there is no machine for extraction and refining, and it is useless."

Lin Yue's mind quickly calmed down.

Before it could be refined, crude oil was just crude oil, and it could be used as a combustible, and you wanted to make something else......

It seems that all you have to think about is it.

So, the workbench tube for high-precision research does not work?

Lin Yue took a unit of crude oil and touched it to the high-precision research bench.

However......

Nothing happened.

The workbench doesn't even emit any representation, whether it's a decomposition or whatever.

Probably...... Is it impossible to decompose this natural mineral?

The same is true when the natural sulfur is tested to decompose, and some natural sulfur ores have some gypsum attached to them, and the workbench cannot separate them.

It seems that this trick will not work, and we have to find another way.

He did a quick search of the world's trading platforms, but found nothing of interest.

As for the survival point platform, the same is true, the survival point still can't buy any good things, but his survival point yesterday has reached the level of almost 60,000, which is scary and useless.

Well, it seems that there are only two paths left.

One is to try to make high-level treasure chests, with a large number, and then rely on the white face to open a wave to see if you can open something that can help in oil extraction and refining.

The second is to search in the secret realm, try your luck to find out if it is possible to find oil and gas fields and the like, and then make a decomposition design drawing of various equipment there, or directly carry it back and study it slowly.

The disadvantages are......

The odds are just too low.

The chance of a high-level chest opening a specific good, especially something like the Oil Extractor and Smelter, is simply impressive.

After all, it's not a designated explosion rate, there is no so-called prize pool and the like, it's all very random.

It may be possible to open it immediately, and it is possible that it will not be possible to open a hundred.

As for going to the secret realm to find ......

It's even more unlikely.

Fifty years of unmaintained oil extractors and smelters, I don't know how much more they can be preserved, and not to mention the integrity of the preservation, it is extremely impossible to just find them.

Regardless of whether it is an ordinary secret realm ancient gate or a special secret realm ancient gate, the location leading to the earth is extremely random.

And judging from the law of entering and exiting the secret realm so many times, there is almost no time that it does not lead to a city or town with more human beings.

The only thing that was unusual was the small island with its airstrip, but there was no trace of any resembling any industrial facilities on that island, except for the airport.

It seems that there is a stalemate.

Lin Yue shook his head.

Before further action, the most he can do is to enclose and protect this oil reserve as his own private property.

With this mentality, Lin Yue traveled against the river of oil towards its root area, wanting to see what was going on in the place where the oil flowed.

Indeed, it is indeed very good to be able to see this resource, but without the method of mining and refining, then it is useless to say anything.

Soon, Lin Yue and Xiaobai stepped on the weeds that had almost touched their feet and necks, and walked forward to the vicinity where the crude oil gushed out.

Many parts of the surface here are polluted by black crude oil, causing some places to become barren, and there is a small lake of about several thousand square meters near the source, but the lake water is clear and transparent, and there are some black shadows in it, which seems to be moving.

Lin Yue bypassed the shore of the small lake and finally found the place where the crude oil gushed out.

It was like a tearing hole, a huge crack seven or eight meters long, and I don't know why it erupted these crude oils, although the flow speed was not fast, but this "oil river" had flowed for nearly two hundred meters......

"Huh? What is that? Lin Yue suddenly noticed that on the side of the huge crack, a yellow and black thing that had been almost completely submerged in the oil river attracted his attention.

"Quack?" Xiaobai looked at the oil river, then at the master, thought about it, and suddenly grabbed him and put him in his arms and flew up!

Xiaobai quickly made a low-altitude dive again, rushing towards the yellow and black things!

Lin Yue instantly understood Xiaobai's thoughts, he took out the excellent iron spear, and soon, with the crisp sound of "dang", Lin Yue also found that a huge thing appeared in his storage space!

And when Xiaobai landed, when Lin Yue looked over there again, he found that there was already a huge crater sunken there, and the crude oil next to it was pouring into it all the time.

At this time, he looked at the contents of the storage space again, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"It's a giant medium-sized machine? The name is still ...... Oil extraction and refining platform? ”

There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!

Lin Yue took Xiao Bai to a relatively flat and spacious place to retreat a little, and then excitedly took this huge thing out of the storage space!

Soon, a giant metal machine with a rather sci-fi appearance, but painted in yellow and black, is revealed!

"Good fellow, this shape is completely different from what you remember? I was in the oil river just now, and I didn't realize that it was so huge! ”

Lin Yue couldn't help but admire this large machine that was more than ten meters high, more than ten meters in radius, and had a huge boom.

But admiration is admiration, Lin Yue has never seen this kind of machinery that can't say what it looks like, but it definitely shouldn't be an oil extraction machine or smelting machine.

But if it works......

【Oil Extraction Refining Platform (Damaged)】

Well, you know it's bad.

But wouldn't it be enough to break it down into a blueprint?
