274 Huge Harvest
( Here is another chapter today as I have some free time, so go on and enjoy. )
----------------------------------
This matter really can only rely on Jiang Fan, as there is no other way. Even at the technological level of the country, the most reliable primary sources of energy right now are Oil and Coal. But Oil is not easy to extract and it needs to be further refined. Jiang Fan estimates that on the trading channel, there may be no such thing. As for coal, there might be some. Jiang immediately took the two things he needed and go on the trading channel.
"Need Oil or Coal, the more the better, trade for meat." Jiang Fan's posted and it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
At this time, what most people lack the most is food, especially meat. Because the extraordinary species cultivated by most Planet Masters are all carnivorous, the consumption is very large. Although it is said that in the trading channel, there are a lot of posts about deals, they are all looking for food. Few take out food, especially meat. Just for a moment, Jiang Fan received countless private messages. They were all asking how much Coal Jiang Fan needed.
"The more the better. One pound of meat is exchanged for one hundred pounds of Coal." Jiang Fan added another sentence to the post.
"A pound of meat can be exchanged for a hundred pounds of Coal?" This sentence made many people boil. Everyone seemed very excited. Coal? That's simply worthless. You will find them in treasure chests that many people open, but most use them to burn for warmth. Because the Level 1 territory is not as cold as the Level 0 territory, in addition, most of them are extraordinary creatures with thick fur, so there is no need for heating.
"I opened two treasure chests here, all of which are Coals. I thought I was unlucky, but I didn't expect to be able to exchange for meat, haha." A Planet Master was very excited and sent a private message.
"How much Coal do you have? Jiang Fan asked.
"A total of 200 pounds can be exchanged for two pounds of meat."
"No problem, let's trade." Jiang immediately made a deal with this person. Because this is a trading channel, there is no need to worry about being scammed. Once the items of one party do not meet the conditions agreed upon in advance, the transaction will be automatically canceled.
"I only have one hundred pounds here." Another person sent a private message.
"Then it can only be exchanged for a pound of meat." Jiang Fan replied.
"A pound is a pound, haha, I didn't expect this thing to be able to exchange meat." This man is very happy.
Immediately, Jiang Fan also made a deal with this man. After the successful transaction of these two people, the other people who were still watching were immediately excited and they sent private messages to Jiang Fan. Although the probability of Coal appearing in the opened treasure chest is not high, the crowd can do it.
This is the Endless Star Territory, all Planet Masters below level 5 are here. I don't know how many people. I'm afraid that even the Council of Stars is not clear. Tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions are possible. So many Planet Masters add up. If you have Coal on hand, there will be more.
Jiang Fan made more than 20 transactions and paid 30 pounds of Wolf meat. A Wild Wolf can have about a hundred pounds of meat, of course, that's counting the bones, so it is impossible to sell pure meat.
Then, Jiang Fan also found that someone is doing things in the trading channel. First, trade other items for Coal, and then sell the Coal to Jiang Fan. Jiang Fan was too lazy to pay attention. As long as it matches his price, then it won't matter so much. Next is non-stop trading, more and more Planet Masters came after hearing the news. Coal is a thing for almost all Planet Masters are useless. if it can switch to meat, who wouldn't?
In less than an hour, Jiang Fan has already exchanged all the meat, in exchange for more than ten tons of Coal. The Coal here is very particular because it is an item in a treasure chest, the quality is very good and there are few impurities.
There is no need to do anything. If the Coal alone is not enough, Jiang Fan made several more trading posts for the raw materials for bullets and guns. These things are not used at all right now, the same with Coal, so it's easy to get it for a small price.
After getting a few thousand pounds, Jiang Fan suspended trading. Get these Coals and other stuff in exchange for Wolf meat and moved to the territory. In the temporary warehouse of the territory, a pile of Coal and other things appeared out of thin air. Everyone who witnessed this scene was slightly surprised but reacted immediately.
"It's Coal." An old scholar's eyes lit up and immediately stepped forward to check it out. He nodded again and again: "The quality of these Coals is really good, and they can be used directly. Without oil, Coal will do. Oil may still need refining and other processes, which is too troublesome."
"How long will these Coals last?" Xia Zhi, who came to hear the news, asked.
"These Coals are estimated to have more than ten tons, and they should be able to be used for a while." The old scholar made an estimate and said, "Then what kind of guns are we going to produce next?"
"Semi-Automatic Rifle." Xia Zhi said. This problem was discussed before, because there are not enough bullets to take into account, so Automatic Rifles were ruled out. After sufficient resources are available, you can go up slowly. Soon the gun-making project officially started.
After more than ten tons of coal, the people in the territory are full of energy. The ten Metal Man became the key. One turns into a Coal generator and is used to provide electricity. The other nine are turned into various machines and are split into two groups. One group is making Guns and another group is making Ammunition. A set of basic industrial pipelines are formed. Watching raw materials get swallowed by the machines, then spit out a complete Bullet made everyone look a little dumbfounded.
"These machines are completely automated." The old scholar was quite excited: "We don't need to deal with it at all, and the performance and efficiency are much higher in all aspects."
Others have found it too. Compare to ordinary machines, the machine of the Metal Man has made many improvements to the original machine. The Bullets produced are all good products and no one needs to control them at all.
"I'm great". A thinner Metal Man said proudly.
"Shut up and give me a good job." The Metal Man leader shouted fiercely and the thinner metal man didn't dare to make a sound.
Even Jiang Fan was amazed. This efficiency is much higher than expected. In a while, there were already a bunch of Bullets on the ground. Guns are slower but also produced a lot. Xia Zhi immediately let people test the effect of these Rifles and Bullets. After the test, the performance is astounding.
"Even if it is manufactured by our most advanced factory, it is impossible to have such a good quality." The old scholar sprayed and said it was amazing.
"That's not surprising." Xia Zhi smiled and said, "The Metal Man transformed machine is an improvement of the original machine. It seems to be their innate talent. After Transformation, the original thing can be changed to be more perfect. Okay, now we can start the next move."
The next step is of course to form a real exploration team to explore the lush forests surrounding the territory. Previously due to safety concerns, they only explore within a hundred meters. And the need to upgrade is three kilometers, and soon, the first official expedition team was established.
Leng Feng is the leader and there are a hundred people. All of them are warriors of the Great Wilderness Army. The Great Wilderness Army Soldiers sent by the Kingdom are naturally the elites among the elites. The hundred were armed with Semi-Automatic Rifles and Bullets made by the Metal Man.
At the same time, there are several Scholars of plants, animals, and geology. Xia Zhi also joined in. This was discouraged by the crowd, but she persisted. Because she has a prompt given by Jiang Fan, it can greatly speed up the efficiency of exploration and reduce risk.
Jiang Fan watched the action of the expedition team while continuing to trade. But after the peak at the beginning, fewer people came to trade later. This is quite normal. After everyone has digested the items in the first batch of treasure chests, their strength has improved. To explore further afield, it is possible to get more Coal and other resources. Still, some others are not aware of Jiang Fan's trading post at all, so it is impossible to trade.
The 100-person expedition team headed out of the territory. According to the plan discussed by the group before departure, every hundred meters is a limit.
"The box may be one every 100 meters." Xia Zhi and many Scholars guessed like this. As predicted, after entering the second hundred meters, another treasure chest was found. A reminder appeared in front of Xia Zhi's eyes.
"What's in the box: A large serving of bread."
"Bread?" Xia Zhi's eyes lit up. Because the Wolf meat was taken away by Jiang Fan, everyone in the territory eats Earthworms and edible grass roots dug up. But this time the prompt doesn't stop there, below is another
"Please note that there is a huge colorful red venomous snake on the right side of the box, if bitten, you will die on the spot."
"Poisonous snake? Xia Zhi's pupils shrank slightly. This is still exploring, the first threatening creature encountered.
"Be careful, there's a poisonous snake on the right side of the box ahead." Xia Zhi walked away and reminded them.
Everyone was on alert and they stared at the right side of the treasure chest. After careful observation, they indeed found that near the weeds in the crevices, there is a red object. Leng Feng made a gesture to a few people beside him. They are all Soldiers of the Great Wilderness Army, so they know what this gesture means. Just kill it.
With no expression, several people quietly found the angle. Several Rifles were aimed at the red object in the weeds at the same time. The other soldiers also picked up their Guns, ready to shoot around.
The next moment, dozens of Bullets were fired at the same time. Most of them hit the red objects. There was a loud noise in the weeds, subsequently, a four-meter-long red-spotted snake jumped up and want to escape. But it immediately fell to the ground, because the snake was hit by more than a dozen Bullets. But it didn't die up immediately, as the snake was still twisting violently.
Leng Feng walked up with a few people to kill this viper. Everyone packed up the poisonous snake and take it with the bread in the box. Just in case, they let people bring these things back to the base first. The others went ahead and explore, and after a while, they found another treasure chest.
"What's in the box: A bottle of hallucinogenic poison, which can instantly make creatures who smell it fall into hallucinations and greatly reduce their resistance." Looking at this tip, Xia Zhi was not surprised but delighted. Her brain immediately thought of a biological weapon it can be used against powerful supernatural creatures.
"Nice one." Xia Zhi immediately let people take out this bottle of hallucinogenic poison, of course, she did not open it directly. If the species created by other Planet Masters encounter it, I'm afraid the cap will be opened on the spot. The result is very dangerous.
This third 100m is not dangerous. The crowd moved on and come to the fourth hundred meters, there is a danger this time. Near the treasure chest, a bunch of big Squirrels lives. Speed and agility are very high, they can also throw pine cones at people.
Without any choice, everyone can only give up this box, and there are no precious items in the box. Continue to five hundred meters, the box here is a large serving of sweet potatoes. But next to the box, there was a small herd of large Wild Boars. There are ten in total and they are almost twice the size of an ordinary Wild Boar. It has two long tusks and an extraordinarily fierce temperament.
If these Boars want to escape, there is nothing good for the crowd. After all, Wild Boars are fast and can burrow through woods and bushes. With thick skin and flesh, Bullets are difficult to penetrate. It rushed towards the crowd and faced a hundred top Semi-Automatic Rifles, these dozen or so big Wild Boars are completely self-defeating. They haven't rushed within 30 meters yet, all were knocked to the ground. The people watching laughed.
"This pork can be eaten for a long time." Leng Feng said excitedly.
"And those sweet potatoes." An agricultural Scholar said: "Not only can it be eaten, but it can also be used for cultivation."
"Although the sweet potato doesn't need to choose the place, it will take a month or two to be ripe, right?" A Soldier asked.
"You don't understand that." The agricultural Scholar picked up his glasses and said, "By choosing the most advanced technology, sweet potatoes can be grown within a week."
"Then where do we get it here?" The Soldier was puzzled, and then, he suddenly thought. Isn't there the Metal Man? They can transform into various machines.
The 500-meter range to the south has been explored, so they don't go any further, but go west. It's here that the expedition team gained a lot. In the second treasure chest, a special item was issued, a Recruitment Card.
"Good stuff." Jiang Fan's eyes lit up. This way, it is possible to recruit more Blue Star creatures again.
"This time what to recruit?" Jiang Fan thought about it, he have an idea in my mind.
