Chapter 18: Mutant Creatures
In Li Xiao's impression, without steel, it is impossible to build weapons, let alone hot weapons, and cold weapons cannot be counted on.
And the liquid metal in this world has a very wide range of applications, and its characteristics are similar to those of non-Newtonian fluids, which are indestructible when they are hard and soft when they are soft, but this thing cannot make weapons, and it cannot be obtained.
Without wood, you can't make a crossbow.
Li Xiao asked about paper again, but paper is not good, people in this world don't use paper at all, not even to wipe their butts.
"Don't sell it, what's the use?"
"With fishbones."
Zhao Wushuang said.
He took out a few fish bones from under the table and placed them on the table.
"Is this a fishbone?"
Li Xiao was stunned, this fishbone was terrifying, it felt like it was about the same size as an elephant's bone, and he couldn't see it at all.
"It's a mutation." Li Xiao wondered.
"That's right, it's a mutated fish."
"Three hundred years ago, technology had entered an old era, and those in power bought most of the water plants in advance and secretly began to research water purification equipment," Chao explained. At the same time, the entire sea emits a pollutant, and the entire sea is polluted. As for who did it, I think you should be able to guess that after these people controlled the water resources that could be found everywhere, they began to accumulate a lot of money and became giants, and it was also from this time that the world began to undergo great changes, and this ocean has long become a forbidden place, and the animals and plants in it have changed beyond recognition after hundreds of years of mutation. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Wushuang turned on the monitor.
A variety of marine life is on display.
A huge octopus comparable to a giant wheel, a crab with sixteen legs, a dolphin with a hideous face with long hands and feet, a dolphin holding a fish bone, and a penguin as big as a giant bear.
All in all, it feels weird.
"The bones on these mutated creatures have been mutated and have a very hard texture, which can be used as weapons." Zhao Wushuang added: "The fish bone you see now is obtained from the corpse of a mutant creature that you have picked up. ”
"So."
Li Xiao said: "We have to use this to create weapons, hunt mutated creatures, obtain fish bones, and continue to build weapons?" ”
Zhao Wushuang said: "That's not necessary, I'll remotely control an undersea stealth boat, just pick up a few more, these mutated creatures are easy to kill, and there are countless corpses that sink to the bottom of the sea every day." ”
Li Xiao: "This will save trouble, let me really fight with those huge mutant creatures, I am afraid that I will die before I leave the school, and the hero will be full of tears"
The time to come.
Zhao Wushuang went to the other side, controlled the sea submarine to find the corpse of the suitable mutated creature, and picked the big one.
The larger the creature, the higher the utilization rate of that large bone.
And Li Xiao himself stayed on the side of the building platform and began to conceive weapons.
With the four large bones in front of him, Li Xiao felt that he could create a spear, three long swords, and the rest could be made into darts and used as hidden weapons.
With the skills of a high-level craftsman, Li Xiao used tools and began to polish these fish bones.
"I rub it, the texture of this fishbone is so hard? It's like steel. ”
"It's good that these sea creatures can't go to land, otherwise how can a civilization without weapons resist?"
Thinking like this, Li Xiao quickly overturned this idea again.
"No, the power of technology is unimaginable, the small time dilator that Zhao Wushuang used that day can easily solve these monsters with physical output"
Zizizi——
When Li Xiao kept experimenting with this fishbone, he was suddenly surprised to find that this fishbone was very similar to the properties of metal.
You can heat it at high temperatures to soften it and shape it to the shape you want, and when it cools, it will return to its original hardness.
"It's amazing, it's completely metal-wise."
Thinking of this, Li Xiao began to forge these fish bones, holding a rough fish bone that had not been formed after heating.
Before his eyes, the flames were burning, and the yellow and orange glow reflected on his gritty face, adding a warm and gritty glow to his face.
Li Xiao picked up the fishbone, clamped it with pliers, and easily put it into the high-temperature heater.
Black flames then dance around the bones, which become hot over time and change in color from black to bright orange, indicating that they have been heated enough to be shaped.
When the bones are hot enough, they are removed and placed on an anvil.
Li Xiao picked up the heavy hammer, and with each swing it was precise and powerful, striking and shaping the red-hot fishbone, each time making the iron gradually approach the shape of the sword.
Under his skillful technique, the bones slowly became flatter and thinner, and then began to take on the rudiments of a sword.
At this point, he began to concentrate on building the blade part.
Bend the red-hot iron into an arc and gently hit the blade with a heavy hammer to make it sharper.
Each stroke is like the artist's last stroke on the canvas, which is the attainment of the perfect blacksmith's craftsmanship.
Then, Li Xiao began to work on the hilt of the sword.
Using the tool directly, sharpen it into the shape of the hilt and insert it into the blade. He then began to cut down the excess until the hilt was perfectly bonded to the blade without any blemishes.
Finally, he began to sharpen the blade of his sword. He sharpened the blade of the sword on a grinding stone again and again until it was smooth as silk and sharp as a knife.
With a slight swing, the sword body cut a graceful arc in the air, looking both majestic and beautiful.
A perfect long sword was born in Li Xiao's hands.
From the rough bones to the sharp blades, every step is filled with his sweat and hard work. This is not only the birth of a sword, but also a moment to witness a miracle, the fishbone into a sword!
Next, Li Xiao followed the same steps to create two swords in a row, a spear, and the rest were all made into throwing knives.
2 hours have passed since all the materials were used.
The reason why it can be built so quickly is because there is a kind of high-temperature heating instrument here, which can instantly raise a very high temperature, and the degree can be adjusted by itself.
Li Xiao picked up the long sword, waved it, and found that it was very handy, and the texture of the weapon was no worse than that of metal, or even heavier.
It's a pity that Li Xiao doesn't have anything to try the sharpness, it's all scientific research equipment, and if you go down, I'm afraid it will be scrapped.
"Xiaolang, Zhao Dazhi passed this game."
At this time, Zhu Ningyun came over and told Li Xiao the good news.
"Great!"
Hearing the news, Li Xiao's mood instantly became much more relaxed, and he felt that a big stone had been put down.
"Hmm."
Zhu Ningyun nodded and said: "Zhao Dazhi originally didn't dare to go, but as the time was coming to an end, he finally mustered up the courage to go on the bridge, during which it was very thrilling, there was a person behind him who wanted to help Zhao Dazhi and almost pulled him down, but fortunately he finally resisted and reached the end, there were a total of thirty people, six people came to the end, Zhao Dazhi was one of them, those five people all chose to participate in the next level, Zhao Dazhi did not choose." ”
Li Xiaodao rejoiced: "It's good if you don't choose, so that you can wait for us to save him." ”
Zhu Ningyun nodded slightly, and then saw the weapon in Li Xiao's hand, and said in surprise: "It's been built so quickly?" ”
When he saw the weapon, his eyes obviously lit up, "This sword seems to be a little different." ”
The fishbone sword is not white, but has a dark blue, which is the color produced by the high temperature forging of the fishbone, and it can be seen at a glance that it is neither bronze nor steel, which is a strange material.
"It's a sword made from fishbones, try it."
Li Xiao handed it over, and Zhu Ningyun was slightly surprised after taking it: "How can the sword made from the fishbone be so heavy?" ”
"This is the bone of the mutated big fish, and it is no longer the kind of fish we imagined."
"I don't understand"
Zhu Ningyun picked up the long sword and pulled a beautiful sword flower in the air, feeling that it was very advantageous.
With such a weapon, it is completely possible to make a big havoc in this world.
At this moment, a large submarine-like object with a robotic arm entered through a steel valve outside the laboratory.
When the valve opens, there is a layer of bubbles like a transparent cover, which can prevent the sea water from entering, and the submarine does not burst the bubbles after entering.
The submarine fished out a large sea creature, Li Xiao couldn't tell what it was, it was huge, and it had evolved hands and feet, somewhat similar to a fishman.
"Oh my god, if this thing continues to evolve, will it be able to go ashore?" Li Xiao said in surprise.
"It's possible."
Zhao Wushuang explained: "A large part of this East China Sea is also in the time expansion of the New World, they have been evolving for tens of thousands of years, if they continue to evolve like this, maybe they will really conjure up some terrifying creatures that can threaten life." ”
"I think those in power should also be worried about this problem, but unfortunately, because they are limited by the light brain, they can't produce weapons to hunt them and hunt these creatures, which is also one of the reasons why they want interstellar immigration very much."
Zhao Wushuang said a trace of his guess.
"Do you think it's possible?"
Li Xiao suddenly remembered the sci-fi movies he had watched in his previous life.
A lot of things in those sci-fi movies have become a fact now, which proves that the people of their time were very thoughtful.
One of the science fiction films tells the story of robots giving birth to ideas, and AI controlling all human beings to help them continue to evolve.
These people in power did use AI at the beginning, but now, maybe they are used by the first generation of light brains, maybe they are also used.
Those in power don't even know that AI gave birth to ideas, and think that they have always been under their control, but they are just pawns.
Once the goal is achieved, these people in power may be abandoned.
"I mean, will this person in power be controlled by AI to develop technology frantically, in fact, it is the subconscious of the first light brain?"
Li Xiao told Zhao Wushuang his thoughts.
After hearing this, Zhao Wushuang's eyes couldn't help but open slightly, and he thought for a long time and said: "Maybe, there is really this possibility, the first generation of AI, his knowledge has been slowly adjusted by tens of billions of people, constantly upgraded, and it is impossible to say that ideas are born, but at the moment this is not something we should worry about, as long as we can rescue grandpa and change the past, these bad things will disappear." ”
Li Xiao suddenly thought of something and said, "Wushuang, in fact, you care so much about saving Zhao Dazhi, do you suspect that your grandfather is also in the dungeon?" ”
Hearing this, Zhao Wushuang nodded and said: "It's worthy of you, it's really smart, in fact, I have been looking for my grandfather's whereabouts all along, otherwise why do you think I want to be a star, just to expand my influence, so that it is convenient to find my grandfather, in fact, I have searched many cities, but I have not found any clues, so I really doubt that my grandfather will be in the dungeon." ”
Li Xiao said: "If it is, it is really good, killing two birds with one stone." But the question is, with these few weapons, can you really storm the dungeon alone?"
Zhao Wushuang clenched his fists and said: "It's man-made, if you don't try it, how can you know?" ”
Li Xiao shook his head.
He rarely does what he is not sure of.
But at the moment, there is no such thing as a good solution.
"Why are we building so many weapons, three or four are enough, and then we can build more hidden weapons. Hey, no."
Li Xiao frowned.
Thinking of Zao Wushuang's appeal before, perhaps, he could call on the ignorant people of this world to rebel together
"Wushuang, we can call on your fanatics to help us." Li Xiao said excitedly.
"Nope."
Zhao Wushuang shook his head and said: "The people of this world have long been numb, and they can't wake up at all, do you remember the song I sang that time, I tried to wake them up, but after that song was sung, I couldn't make any waves at all." They are indeed my fanatical fans, but the cost of crime in this world is very high, they will deprive this world of identity, and no one will risk it because of a star. ”
"Nope." Li Xiao said: "Songs must not be enough, but games may be possible!" ”
"Games?"
"Yes, games, create a game that wakes them up and makes them feel a whole new world."
Li Xiao said excitedly, he remembered the game he made when he was bored before.
"Well, you can give it a try."
Zhao Wushuang's heart moved, and he felt that if it was Li Xiao, it was really possible, and he had a very beautiful world in his heart, which could shape that world.
"That's why we've built so many weapons."
Li Xiao began to arrange: "Zhao Wushuang, I will continue to build a few weapons in the future, and you will be responsible for crafting more weapons from fishbones." Ning Yun and I are going to create a game, and when the time comes, with your appeal, you can definitely make the game popular, so that everyone can feel the new world and feel the weapons. Human nature is aggressive, weapons will arouse the primitive wildness in their hearts, the new world will arouse their yearning for that world, and if we succeed, we can obtain a steady stream of manpower to achieve our goal.
