Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 103 Uses of Snake Skin

The last time I optimized the Iron Mouth Gun, it took about half the night. This time, the material of the Snake Tooth Gun is better and the optimization level is higher, so it will only consume more time.

Chen Xuan put the Snake Tooth Spear aside first, and continued to deal with other things.

The mutant python has two huge snake teeth, one is used as a gun, but there is one left, Chen Xuan doesn't know what to do.

Although this size is quite suitable for a dagger, the tapered structure of the snake teeth determines that it is only suitable for use as a stabbing weapon.

After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of a good usage for the time being, so Chen Xuan could only put it aside for the time being.

Then he took out another material from the mutant python, its snake skin.

After unfolding the snake skin, Chen Xuan estimated that the area was about five square meters, and the thickness was about 2 cm.

Although the boa constrictor is huge, the scales of the snake skin are only the size of a bottle cap.

Each snake scale is dark in color and hard in texture, while the whole snake skin is simple in appearance, without any special light color, and there is still some snake blood on it, with a slight bloody smell.

If you don't look carefully, you will almost think it's just an ordinary black animal leather.

There is also some inner membrane on the back of the snake skin, which is quite soft to the touch. Although it is not as hard as the outside, it also has a certain degree of toughness.

Chen Xuan was still very impressed with the snake skin of the mutant python.

The wooden arrow he shot back then was blocked by the tough snake skin. You must know that there were wooden arrows with "sharp" effect, but they still couldn't break through the defense of the mutant python.

And at that time, most of the giant python's outer skin had been roasted by the fire for a long time, and its defense and toughness were not as good as before.

The defensive ability of snake skin can be seen from this.

As the snake head was always protected by the giant python body, it received the least degree of fire.

At the same time, this is the most essential part of the mutant python's body, and the quality of the snake skin here is the best.

The best use of such snake skin is of course to make leather armor, which can greatly enhance his defense.

Touching the lines on the snake skin, Chen Xuan pondered the appearance of the leather armor.

It's a pity that although he is a handicraft expert, he is not a tailor and knows nothing about making clothes.

After much deliberation, he could only make some simple imitations based on some pictures of the armor in his memory.

He immediately thought of those leather armors from previous martial arts games, their appearance was quite mighty and domineering, which made his heart flutter for a while.

After confirming the style, Chen Xuan started to work.

In the first step, he carefully removed the inner membrane from the snake skin.

The inner membrane is temporarily set aside, and it is also useful.

After the removal, the thickness of the snake skin was only a little over 1 cm.

Then Chen Xuan cut the snake skin into several large and small pieces.

After choosing the suitable part, Chen Xuan took the snake skin and tied it around his body.

Because I don't know the tailor's skills, this is the simplest and crudest way.

After the measurement, Chen Xuan made some plans, further cut out each component of the leather armor, and finally adjusted the design of the joints, and used leftover materials to further reinforce several key parts.

Next, you only need to connect all the parts with a simple shape to complete the prototype of the python leather armor.

If it was changed to before, it would be really hard to do.

At that time, he could only sew. Although there were plant fibers that could be used as thread, he did not have a needle, and snake skin was so tough that it was not easy to penetrate it.

But now there is no such trouble.

Chen Xuan can use gel to fix and bond various parts.

Although it is simple to say, after some operations, wait for the gel to solidify and coagulate.

The whole process took almost half a day, and Chen Xuan had lunch in the middle.

Compared with weapons, the production of armor is much more troublesome.

But in any case, the prototype of the leather armor was finally completed.

Although the leather armor in Chen Xuan's imagination is very domineering, but the finished product that he actually made by himself is an exaggeration to say that it is a special outfit for savages.

He couldn't bear to look at it himself, so he directly started to optimize it with the "manual talent module".

I saw a yellow light shining from the snakeskin armor, completely covering the rough appearance of the leather armor.

Although it is very good, but it is not an orange light, Chen Xuan still feels a little pity.

But this is also a matter of course.

After all, there are only two snake teeth in the mutant python's body, which are definitely its essence. How can the strength of the snake skin compare to the snake teeth?

The snakeskin armor is finished and has entered the stage of optimization. It can be predicted that its defense will not be bad.

But after all, this is just an outer armor, and it can only exert its greatest effect when fighting on land. If it is launched into the water, the heavy snake armor is not so convenient.

He has been going into the water naked before, not only because of convenience, but also because he has not found suitable materials to make diving-specific clothing.

Chen Xuan looked at the inner membrane that had been stripped from the snake skin earlier.

The snake skin membrane in front of you is very suitable for making a close-fitting diving suit.

It has good toughness and very good water resistance, and it can also maintain body temperature to a certain extent. The soft texture means that clothes made of this material will not affect Chen Xuan's actions at all.

If it weren't for the poor air permeability of the snake skin membrane, Chen Xuan would have planned to use it to make a set of underwear for daily wear.

Since the end of the world, he has been wearing this set of cheap short-sleeved trousers most of the time, and as time goes by, some of the chemically synthesized fibers are gradually decomposing, and some places have become tattered.

Although he bought some crudely made linen clothes on Dongji Mountain, Chen Xuan still thought that one day he would be able to find suitable materials and make a suit of clothes by himself. After all, he has a handmade master module.

The production of the snake skin film is much simpler than that of the snake armor. There are no design requirements for the style, and it is only necessary to wrap the body completely tightly.

The size was drawn against the body, and the diving suit was initially made soon.

Still need to do some processing.

But Chen Xuan is going to take a break now.

He is a little dizzy now.

Although making props is easy to say, the specific process is quite time-consuming and energy-intensive.

Snake tooth gun, snake skin armor, and half a diving suit.

In one day, Chen Xuan made nearly three props non-stop, and most of his energy had been consumed.

And it was almost dusk outside.

After confirming that there was no problem with heading towards true north, Chen Xuan lay down on the bed and took a short rest.

The lively voices of the survivors could no longer be heard, and Shui Bao also left.

The inexplicable chill made him wrap himself tighter with the quilt.
