My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 66: Take a look! Spectacular saltpeter mine!
"45 per hour..."
"Speed 62..."
"23 per hour..."
The road to the kobold saltpeter mine collection site is not easy to walk, and the stumbling stones on the road make it impossible to speed up.
After walking for about 40 to 50 minutes, Sumo only drove for less than 30 kilometers.
The kobold behind him obviously had never seen such a ferocious artifact, and he was wandering around the world along the way, wondering what he was thinking.
Seeing that the speed of the car slowed down, the kobold immediately continued to point the direction knowingly.
"Well, the kobold camp and the saltpeter mine seem to be in the west."
Following the place pointed by the kobold, the car continued to move forward, and after traveling for more than 20 kilometers, it crossed a high **** that blocked the view again.
Seeing the motion indicated by the kobold, Su Mo raised his head subconsciously, looking in the direction of the kobold's finger.
The pupils shrank suddenly!
On the land in the distance, there is a piece of silk-like ice crystals, spread on the hills, stretching for several miles.
At this time, there are still about ten kilometers away from the saltpeter mine, and Sumo can clearly see this large piece of saltpeter veins that seem to be formed in nature.
Not to mention, when you get close and under the mine vein, you will have a more terrifying and shocking look!
"Such a huge saltpeter mine? How did it form?"
Surprised, Su Mo quickly got out of the car, took out the five-power binoculars in the storage space, and looked at the saltpeter mine.
With the addition of a telescope, the whole picture of the saltpeter mine became clear.
With mine in hand, don't panic.
Gustav II, who was known as the Nordic Lion back then, was able to lead the Protestant League to defeat the Catholic Allied Forces several times, relying on the muskets in his hands and the saltpeter mines in his hometown of Sweden.
However, most European countries do not produce saltpeter, and the source of saltpeter has always been a big problem.
Peaceful times are better, but once war breaks out and business routes are cut off, there will be a big problem.
King Charles I of England was troubled by the problem of gunpowder when he was at war with opposition forces at home and abroad.
For this!
The majestic King of England had to look at the smelly and filthy place-the latrine.
In order to ensure the production of gunpowder, the king specially appointed officials to dig out the topsoil (nitrate soil) in the toilets and stables in his territory.
Using nitrate to extract soil nitrate, and even ordered that the floors of toilets and stables across the country are not allowed to lay stone or wooden boards, so as not to affect the collection of nitrate.
The big households who used nitrate, the cobblers even lost their jobs.
At that time, the honorable priests of each church were given a glorious task, which was to call on the citizens who came to worship to urinate collectively. From then on, urinating was no longer an embarrassing or dirty thing, but a contribution to the country .
Among them, the chairs of the church are especially valued, because people cannot leave the seat for convenience during worship, but people have three urgencies, so the chairs of the church are devastated, and people can scrape high-quality nitrate from the chairs .
The British at that time believed that women's urine contained a lot of nitrate.
He even shouted the slogan "Please contribute your strength to your husband who is fighting on the front line".
But now!
Looking at the huge saltpeter mine in front of him, Su Mo really couldn't imagine any reason why such a huge mineral vein could be born.
"If you tell me that a towering monster went to the toilet here and formed such a large-scale saltpeter mine, I will believe it!"
"However, the kobolds should value the saltpeter mine very much. There are at least a hundred kobolds who have built a camp here..."
"Huh? This is??"
"Human!!"
With the help of the telescope, Sumo clearly saw an upright creature that was completely different from the kobold.
The distance of ten kilometers is still too far, and the images presented by the five times the telescope cast a shadow over Su Mo's heart.
Back in front of the bouncy car, he picked up the Oreo that was still sniffing around on the ground, and Somo restarted the ignition and started on the road.
This time, he will venture forward to a distance of five kilometers.
Bengbeng's speed was not fast, but after ten minutes or so, he still managed to enter the position Sumo envisioned.
This time, even without the help of a telescope, Sumo could clearly see a large area of wooden houses in the distance.
Even, next to this house, Su Mo saw a house built from the core of the safe house!
Get out of the car again and take out the binoculars, and see the scene in the binoculars.
Somo is hard, his fist is hard!
Dozens of people are working **** the stretch of mines.
However, these people... are not kobolds!
But humans! ! !
Kobold warriors were scattered scattered around the mine veins. Sumo counted them in his mind and roughly counted them.
At this time, there are no fewer than two hundred kobold warriors in sight.
And the most terrifying thing is that there are as many as fifty kobold warlocks sitting in the middle of the camp for fun!
This is all that can be observed in the current field of vision!
I'm afraid including what I haven't seen, there are more than three hundred kobold saltpeter mine camps!
Three hundred kobolds monitor dozens of human mining?
Under the binoculars, Somo smiled wryly.
"I thought that Huang Biao took care of everyone near the place where I put it. Now it seems that the rest of the people were caught by the kobolds to mine here."
"Fortunately, my refuge is a full 60 kilometers away from here, otherwise I would have to face this monster in the first two days!"
"I just said why China Refuge is secretive about foreign civilizations. I am afraid that in other places, countless human beings have long been enslaved by this monster, but are these people's chats restricted? Otherwise, why? Didn't see any such news on the world channel!"
While observing, Su Mo secretly guessed in his heart.
There are so many kobolds, let alone he is fully equipped now, unless Gatling is brought to him today, and an unlimited supply of bullets.
Only then can we try to attack the base and save mankind.
With the current equipment, at least before there is no gunpowder, it is definitely not an easy task to capture this base.
"I didn't expect this saltpeter mine... to be so tricky..."
"I'm afraid there will be many more monsters in the kobold camp than here!"
"There are thousands of kobolds!"
Thinking that there is such an "enthusiastic" neighbor around him, once you meet him, he will invite you to mine at his house, Su Mo's head suddenly floated:
Sense of security -10000!
"No, I have to inquire about the kobold camp. If there are more people than I expected, it will be bad!"
Turning back to the bouncy car, Su Mo looked serious, and Oreo jumped up on the side.
"Oreo, let him show the way, let's go to their camp"
After the voice fell, Oreo began to communicate with the Kobold.
After a while, the Bengbeng car drove away, heading towards the north of the saltpeter mine.
The terrain near the saltpeter mine is all stepped high slopes. Although the speed cannot be increased, measured by the speed of the vehicle, the distance between the saltpeter mine and the kobold camp is not far.
Hearing the kobold signal that it is almost here.
Su Mo parked the car in the shade of a bush and put it away, pulled the kobold off the seat, held it in his hand and walked forward.
After walking about five or six hundred meters, Sumo finally saw the kobold camp after turning over a high **** again.
"This..."
"Can this be called a kobold camp? Maybe it's called... a castle! Wouldn't it be more appropriate?!"
Standing on a high slope~IndoMTL.com~ Su Mo looked at the huge monster in front of him, his eyes were full of shock.
If saltpeter mine is a miracle of nature.
Then the kobold castle in front of you is an unparalleled architectural power.
The castle in front of me has a diameter of more than 500 meters by visual inspection!
There are circular towers, narrow windows, semicircular arches, low cupolas, and door frames picked out layer by layer, all of which look magnificent.
In terms of style, a large number of columns and vaults of various shapes are used to achieve a solid, heavy, balanced and stable aesthetic effect with saturated strength.
The narrow windows form a strong contrast with the vast interior space, making the interior of the castle dim and deep, giving people a sense of mystery and darkness.
On the four corners of the castle, there are four pointed towers. With the help of binoculars, Su Mo saw the kobolds in charge of patrolling the towers.
Looking down, apart from the warlock and warrior, Su Mo saw a kobold wearing a white robe sharply.
"This is the third type of kobold. I don't know what characteristics this kind of kobold has..."
This kobold's figure is not tall and straight, but as he walked on the city wall, four or five warlock kobolds followed him very respectfully and obediently.
The walls are not that far away.
The white-robed kobold kept walking while talking.
Gradually, a group of people disappeared at the end of the city wall.
But before Su Mo continued to observe, the small door under the Kobold Castle suddenly opened, and a group of Kobolds came out, impressively heading towards Su Mo.
"Oops! Didn't you find me?"
