Chapter 2 Construction of Empty Island and Initial Contact
Digging stone is a simple task, and even the least durable wooden pickaxe can dig up to 59 cobblestone.
Yes, Fang Yuan deliberately counted the cobblestones on his body after the wooden pickaxe broke, no more, no less, just 59, since he noticed that none of the cobblestones fell into the magma and burned, so 59 should be the durability value of a wooden pickaxe.
He took the stones, together with the remaining two sticks and ten planks, to make eleven stone pickaxes, used up 33 cobblestones, and left 26 cobblestones, and continued his work.
He found that the level of satiety consumption in this world is the same as the rules of the MC, and time does not affect the consumption of satiety, only running and jumping will, so as long as he controls himself not to jump on this island as much as possible, he can reduce his food consumption to a small range.
Fang Yuan dug up some more stones, and cut off half of these stone pickaxes, and a full ten groups of stones appeared in his backpack like this (the MC group was 64), and it seemed that the durability of the stone pickaxes had not changed much, it was 131.
After digging so many stones, the sun had already sunk to the west, but the two trees still didn't have any intention of wanting to grow, Fang Yuan looked up at the tree for a while and then gave up, he still had a lot to do.
In the original game, he was also a person who played Li Mango Sky Island, and knew that the most torturous place was to wait for the tree to grow.
The growth time of the tree is uncertain, and according to the game's setting, it will make a decision every three minutes or so to determine whether the light, space, and other information support the growth of the tree.
Under such a judgment, if the light, space, temperature and humidity are all suitable, it is not impossible for the sapling to grow after planting, and if it is unlucky and fails every time, a certain UP master has waited for 80 minutes.
And the day in the game is 20 minutes, which is exactly 72 times the reality, so if you calculate it, the judgment time of a tree is actually as long as 216 minutes, almost four hours.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan didn't have much hope for the growth of these two trees, fortunately, there was a stone brushing machine, and it was good that he didn't need to stand under the tree like Wangfu Stone and wait.
He did not use up the ten sets of stones, but divided them in half, and replaced them with round stone and half bricks on the workbench, one to two, just like the wooden steps, to save the cost of using the blocks.
Fang Yuan made a stone shovel, re-excavated from the end of the empty island that had not been made into a stone brushing machine, and dug down five squares, just touching the bedrock.
Then carefully dig to the edge of the empty island, below which is the endless abyss, if one accidentally falls, there is no chance of starting again.
"Think of it as an empty island in Extreme Mode!" Fang Yuan thought about it, spreading out the stone half brick from this end of the bedrock, expanding the area as much as possible, about four blocks, and then he spent about an hour enclosing the entire empty island with cobblestone half bricks.
And in order to prevent monster farming, he uses the lower half of the brick, don't ask, ask is the special reaction brought about by years of MC experience and lessons.
When you wake up surrounded by a bunch of monsters, you'll do the same.
Monsters spawn in a simple way: in a dark environment, chunks are activated, within 24 blocks of 72 blocks around the player, and there are full blocks underfoot.
Fang Yuan didn't want to wake up surrounded by a large group of strange monsters on his back, this was an empty island, if he wasn't careful, he would be shot down, and there would be no time to fight back.
The good thing about the bottom half of the brick is that no matter how far you lay, it won't spawn dark monsters.
Of course, there are disadvantages.,This extra half a meter of suspension range,It will make it inconvenient for you to place blocks、Boxes or planting.,Of course, he now has enough stones.,These inconveniences can be solved by relying on more stone steps.,The big deal is to make a rest platform for going up.,It's nothing more troublesome than monsters.。
After the construction of the big platform, I finally have some sense of security, at least I don't have to worry about a negligent soul falling into the void and becoming a wronged soul who died in vain.
The size of the current empty island is 16*16, that is, 256 square meters, which can be regarded as a very large island, at least much larger than the author's house, Fang Yuan is no exception, before the crossing, he was still working for a 60-square-meter apartment ninety-nine-six!
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to travel to the MC world either? At least he has his own land and house.
Shaking his head, putting these strange thoughts behind him, Fang Yuan made a half-brick staircase up to the top of the empty island, with two saplings and a stone brushing machine on it.
Fang Yuan took the magma bucket he had sent, scooped the water down first, and sat on a pool in the platform below, which was exactly the same as the pool of the stone brushing machine, yes, he wanted to move the entire stone brushing machine down.
Brushing stones on top of this small empty island is actually dangerous, because magma has the property of igniting everything around it that can be ignited, which means that he is likely to be injured by the flames around him when he digs stones one day.
There is no way to brush the stone just now, but now there is a way, naturally it will not continue to be like this, and the platform below is all made of stones, and it will not catch fire, so there is no need to take precautions.
But this stone brusher is a little bigger, and the grid originally used to put water has been extended from one grid to three grids, and similarly, the grid for putting magma on the opposite side has also become three grids, so that the stones can be brushed out of three pieces at once.
What Fang Yuan built for himself was a standing stone brusher, although it was not as comfortable as just now, but the efficiency would be twice as high as the stone brush machine at the beginning.
So he quickly brought the bucket of lava down from it, and then raised his shovel!
"It's time for this dirt to change places!"
Again, empty island resources are scarce, but most of them can actually be directly refreshed in various ways, which is one of the characteristics of the game itself.
However, dirt is not one of the few native resources in the main world, and as one of the few native resources in the main world, it is actually one of the cornerstone reserves of the world, so the game's designers did not design a way to refresh it, which makes the way to obtain soil more scarce.
At least Fang Yuan didn't have any way to obtain soil now, so now he cherished these existing resources unusually much.
After all, there are so many things that dirt can do, it can grow trees, sugar cane, mushrooms and bamboo, it can give birth to meadows, mycelium, and it can be turned into arable land to grow some edible plants...... Wait a minute.
In order to survive well in this world, every bit of dirt is very important.
So after successfully moving the stone brusher, Fang Yuan began to excavate the lower four layers of soil except for the top layer of grass.
Grass is also one of the most scarce blocks in the Sky Island, and without the special enchantment of Accurate Collection, grass blocks are purely non-renewable resources.
Since grass blocks are actually a hint of green on dirt blocks, new grass blocks can only be generated through the natural propagation of grass blocks.
The biggest function of grass cubes is that they can use bone meal to give birth to grass and flowers, grass can produce wheat seeds, and flowers are the source of raw materials for various dyes, which is quite important.
And wild animals only have a chance to spawn on grass, because most herbivores rely on these grass for their survival, if Fang Yuan loses these grass blocks, he will really have no chance of meat in the future - unless he eats carrion.
So he was careful to dig out only a few dirt blocks from the bottom layer, and in the direction of the stone slab he had made, he made another dirt slab that just ran down from the grass block on the empty island.
This was the most common way to extend the grass block, and it only took a few days for him to spread a small amount of grass from top to bottom, and then spread out 240 grass blocks to form a huge lawn no smaller than the sky island he was on.
Of course, this will take a short time, and after Fang Yuan has done a simple extension measure, he sat down peacefully and had a good rest.
The MC really didn't have any tired reaction to his body, and even because of his usual attention, he didn't even consume much hunger, and he can even be called full now.
But man and machine are different after all, Fang Yuan slowly lay down when the sun was about to fall in the sky, lying on a small bed made of two wooden steps, ready to sleep peacefully.
Now there was no wool, and no thread that could be used to synthesize wool, so he had to settle in such a place for the time being.
In order to prevent rain, he also built a matchbox for himself with stones, even if he is a construction expert, it is still impossible to build a large house when his material needs are not satisfied, just to meet his spiritual needs.
The box was small, only four square meters of space and two meters high, and the doorway was sealed by him, leaving only a small window made of half a brick.
Under his feet was an incomparably solid bedrock, such a small safe house gave Fang Yuan a high sense of security.
"Whew!" Fang Yuan lay down gently, it was a terrifying thing not to sleep in this world, whether it was a monster in the dark or those phantom wings that appeared when you weren't sleeping, they might kill you.
But as a modern person, Fang Yuan couldn't sleep when he was lying on the wooden bed.
Even if he was already slightly familiar with this world, it was almost impossible to come to a strange world for so long and want to calm down and sleep.
Fang Yuan thought about it for a while and took out the "Address Book", unlike during the day, this book seemed to emit a somewhat bizarre white light at night, allowing him to see the words written on it very clearly.
Robert Neville: "It's been a month since I picked up this phone and finally someone has messaged me back, thank God!" ”
"It seems that you seem to be Chinese, or Chinese, and I am lucky to be able to speak Chinese!"
"Okay, if you can still reply to messages and know where you are, listen to me!"
"There should be no signal in the whole of the United States now, if you can receive the signal, it means that you should be in New York, I repaired the signal tower here."
"If you're still alive, you can come to South Street Harbor at noon when the sun is at its highest, and I'll come every day."
"If you can read the language I'm sending you and you feel safe, you can contact me, and I can provide food, shelter, and keep you safe!"
"Please, contact me, I can tell you, you're not alone!"
The man on the other side of the "Address Book" seemed to be a chatterbox, and after writing a long paragraph, there was no sound.
Fang Yuan looked at the time, as if it was half an hour ago, he replied:
Fang Yuan: "I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood me, I'm not from your world, can you tell me about the situation in your world?" ”
Since the mission is to save the world, gathering intelligence is the first priority.
……
"Didi, Da, Didi!"
"Woohoo!" The howl of a dog rang in his ears.
It's another world, Colonel Robert Neville is lying on his little bed, waving his arms with some difficulty, and picking up the flip phone at the head of the bed.
The world's signal tower has collapsed, so the phone should not actually have a signal, but this is not a problem for Robert, who is already lonely and a little desperate, at least there is a name in the phone's address book that can send messages.
But he didn't have much hope for the phone, because in the past month, he has tried to contact the other party in various ways, but there is still no movement.
The good news is that the phone's battery is durable, and it has only been charged once in a month, giving him a little bit of hope.
Until this morning, the phone suddenly came to the message, he had just told the other party his message before going to bed, but the night here was really difficult to sleep, so he heard the phone ringing.
"Hey, Sam, you can't bite this!" Robert was very agile to rescue the phone from under the dog's hand, his dark face was a little red, that person sent him a message?
This is probably one of the best news he's ever received after living in this world for so long, no matter who the person is, whether he's male or female, fat or thin, at least the reply to this message proves that he's alive!
But after seeing the words on the phone, he couldn't help but have a black question mark on his face: ???
Is there something wrong with this survivor's brain? What is the situation in Minecraft? Is this guy a visitor from another world?
Robert didn't understand, but listening to the whistling roar in his ears, like a baby's cry, he probably won't be able to sleep tonight, so let's explain it to him!
Robert Neville: "I don't know what you mean, but I'd love to tell you the story of the Daredevils, which I got my name after because they only appear at night, and the premise of the story is to start with a virus that can cure cancer......"
