My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 56: Today is also a day of industrious mining!
In the literature, sulfur ore, a natural ore, was called "sulphur" as early as the Bible era after it was discovered.
In ancient Egyptian and Greek records, sulfur was used as medicine and fumigation.
Early mining involved miners in volcanic regions such as Sicily, and until the 20th century sulfur could also be found in salt domes.
Generally, sulfur mines are found either in volcanic areas or in salt dome areas.
"This terrain doesn't look like a place where sulfur mines can be produced. Are the resource points buried randomly, or was there volcanic activity here before it was put in?"
Carefully digging the soil on the ground, Sumo found bits of sulfur ore like gravel.
If you don't look carefully at this kind of thing, or know that there are minerals here, you won't think it is sulfur at all, but just a small colored stone.
Along the terrain, Sumo used his footsteps to measure the distribution range of the crushed sulfur mine, and there were traces of its existence within a range of nearly 100 meters.
After turning around, he found a small **** with no trees and a slightly higher terrain. Sumo took out a high-quality shovel and started digging.
"Hey guy, can this excellent quality shovel be so much stronger than ordinary quality?"
A flash of light flashed on the shovel, and it was the first time the shovel was moved to trigger a critical strike, and the resistance of the soil within 20 seconds was greatly reduced.
As soon as he shoveled down, it was almost like shoveling tofu, and Su Mo pulled out a shovelful of soil without any effort.
As the soil was brought out, Sumo dug it, and after confirming that there was sulfur crushed ore inside, he began to dig with confidence.
Digging a pit is also a technical job. If you simply dig down, it is likely that a surrounding structure will be unstable and collapse, and people will collapse to death underneath.
When Su Mo was a child, he saw someone digging a cellar in the countryside of his hometown, but the digging failed to reach a depth of two meters, and the surrounding soil structure collapsed.
When the neighbors found out, the man had already been covered by the soil covering his mouth and nose, and he was suffocated to death in a small pit less than two meters deep.
Therefore, Su Mo chose the safest step-digging method, sacrificing a little efficiency, but better than safety.
Under the brilliant sun, shovel after shovelful of soil was piled aside with Sumo's movements.
Although it took half a day to build the shovel, at this moment, Su Mo felt that it was very worthwhile.
The efficiency bonus of the shovel is extremely terrifying, especially this critical strike is unreasonable, and it can be superimposed infinitely.
It means that as long as you can keep digging down, you can always trigger this effect.
This shovel can be used as a small half excavator when there is no mechanical tool for digging.
"There is no sulfide gas erupting from the ground, how did sulfur ore form?"
After digging about one meter deep, the shovel gradually encountered resistance, and the sound of clanging came as the shovel head touched the ground.
Crouching down, Su Mo wiped the surface of the soil with his hands, and immediately discovered a khaki-colored sulfur ore.
There are a few fine pores on the surface of the sulfur ore, which means that the sulfur gas is escaping.
Putting the shovel back into the storage space, Su Mo took out an excellent quality iron pickaxe.
【Iron Pickaxe (Excellent)】
Description: A shovel made by the conscientious craftsman "Sumo".
Special effects: 1. Sharpness +1
2. When mining ore, there is a small probability of a critical strike (ore with an intensity lower than 5 disintegrates)
Evaluation: It's a pity that it is not the enviable golden pick!
After taking out the mineral water bottle containing psionic water and taking two sips to recover his strength, Su Mo picked up the iron pickaxe and struck down on the yellow ore on the ground.
A soothing voice sounded.
The relatively hard yellow sulfur ore on the ground suddenly disintegrated into scattered small ores.
Lowering his head, Su Mo meditated on the storage space to absorb, and all the ore **** on the ground was immediately taken into the storage space.
"Oh, this efficiency is really high enough. It seems that one hour of mining should be enough for me to use for a long time!"
After looking at the amount of sulfur and crushed stones that had been taken in, Sumo had an idea in mind.
The special effect of disintegration is triggered, and about 20kg of sulfur ore can be harvested in one critical strike.
In the absence of a large amount of thermal weapon ammunition or gunpowder, it is basically enough to dig about half a ton.
Ding ding ding ding, the great sun rising in the east slowly began to descend towards the west with time.
Every five minutes of digging, Sumo had to raise his head and climb out of the pit, checking around for signs of mutant creatures.
Gradually, the big day finally reached the horizon.
A ray of sunset light shone down and landed on the boundless land, casting a touch of sulfurous color on the earth.
"Okay, I'll just dig so much, and I'll dig it when I run out, there's no place to put this thing if it's too much"
Raising his head, Su Mo looked at the sky and stopped what he was doing.
At this moment, in the storage space of two cubic meters, the excess space is almost filled with sulfur ore. According to the purification efficiency, there will be no shortage of sulfur for a long time.
Climbing out of the pit, patting the soil on the raincoat, Sumo began to fill the dug soil back.
Sulfur without roots will dissipate, and soil burial can also increase the storage time of sulfur mines.
The small high **** that was originally excavated turned into flat ground after covering up.
After making a mark, Sumo turned and returned to the shelter.
Compared with the heat outside, the shelter looks more like a cool cellar after sinking.
Once entering the entrance tunnel, most of the heat was isolated, and the temperature rose again after entering the shelter.
"When will this day when you can't take a bath be a head!"
Standing in the weapons and equipment room, taking off his raincoat, looking at the stuffed yellow vest, Su Mo looked sad.
For the time being, he is too distressed to do such a beastly thing as washing clothes with phantom energy water.
The hoarding talent buried in the genes of the Chinese people.
Even if he has already stockpiled about 20L of Psionic Water, Su Mo would only dare to wipe his face with a rag dipped in some water when he washes his face in the morning.
"Damn it, this world put billions of people on earth at one time, and none of them can be put near the water source"
"We can only stock up on ordinary water after the blizzard comes"
Smash it, smash your mouth~IndoMTL.com~ After drinking the psionic water left in the mineral water bottle again, the feeling of burning in the throat went down a lot.
A strange survival world.
This is a fact that everyone is discovering these days.
These mutated creatures seem to have fallen from the sky just like humans. Because there is no water source, a large number of creatures have begun to die of thirst in the wild.
Except for a few animals that survived by drinking acid rain, most of the mutant creatures can only kill each other and survive on blood.
No fresh water source has been found anywhere.
The world seems to have deleted the setting of having a water source, or to put it bluntly, there is no option to add a water source.
Human beings want water, except for opening treasure chests, they can only try to rely on some scientific methods, such as:
Put a plastic bag on a leafy twig, and the transpiration of the leaves will produce condensation.
Or dig a small pit on a relatively humid ground, place a water collector in the center of the bottom of the pit, and hang a plastic film drawn into an arc on the pit surface.
The light energy raises the temperature of the moist soil and air in the pit, evaporates to produce water vapor, and when the water vapor contacts the plastic film, it condenses into water droplets and slides down into the container.
These two methods can barely mix a little water source enough to sustain life.
The method of collection has also been shared by most people and has gradually become popular.
It's just because of the courier fee that some people can't trade even if they have extra water in their hands.
"I don't know why, even if I make a second water well device, the system cannot upgrade it"
Just as the raincoat cannot be upgraded without being placed in the wardrobe, the same is true for the water well.
Shaking his head, leaving all the weird thoughts behind, Sumo began to examine the harvest of this trip.
