Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 126 Scarlet Gold
The huge eagle's nest turned into a ball of flames, and bursts of thick smoke kept coming out.

After Chen Xuan took a look, he turned back and returned to the forest before to continue collecting wood.

There is no point in waiting, time waits for no one.

And although there was a distance between the woods and the bird's nest, he could still see the flames soaring into the sky.

In the woods, Chen Xuan tried his best to find the broken wood as before, smashing it with a stone ax from time to time.

After about two hours in the past, he collected more than 200 units of wood.

But at this time, when he looked up at the position of the bird's nest, he found that the fire in the distance had disappeared.

Chen Xuan turned back again.

Back at the bird's nest, after the burning, most of the strong bloody smell that lingered here has dissipated, and the air is no longer as bad as before.

The fire has also been completely extinguished.

At the original bird's nest, only a large pile of ashes and the burnt metal mixed in it remained.

Chen Xuan jumped into the ashes directly, and began to search and collect metals.

Under such a big fire, a lot of metals have been incinerated and can meet the collection conditions.

Smaller metals can basically be collected directly by Chen Xuan, while Chen Xuan can't do anything about larger metals.

But even so, Chen Xuan still harvested a lot of metal.

The bird's nest was reinforced by the black-feathered giant eagle with a lot of metal materials. Maybe it moved all the visible metal materials on the entire island here.

During the collection process, Chen Xuan also found some metals that had become flattened, and it was obvious that the metal had been melted and then solidified.

The metal actually melted?
Chen Xuan has had metal for a long time, but has been unable to successfully utilize it.

Just because he couldn't deform it, he couldn't forge it naturally.

Even the experts on Dongji Mountain are helpless.

Before that, even though he had scanned metal parts, he could only obtain very simple information.

For example:
------

Name: metal parts

Type: Miscellaneous

Features: Derived from the body of a family car, it can be converted into metal material collection through heating and sintering.

------

It's all useless information.

And now, the metal actually melted.

This is undoubtedly a major discovery.

He wanted very much to find out why.

Chen Xuan started scanning the melted metal parts, and after a while, Chen Xuan got the feedback information.

------

Name: Metal (Molten)

Type: Material

Characteristics: It is derived from crude metal items. After high-temperature scouring, the roughness has been removed and the essence has been removed, and it has become a refined material. It has very high strength and has good energy transfer properties.

Current status: High temperature, coupled with a large amount of flesh and blood energy lowers the melting point, causing the metal to melt to a certain extent.

Disadvantages: Because it is not easy to deform, it is difficult to forge.

------

The answer is simple.

So, in fact, the reason why I can't forge metal is because the temperature is not enough.

I don't know how high the melting point of the metal is now.

As for the use of blood to lower the melting point, it still needs to be tested later, but from a long-term perspective, the cost is a bit high, and it is not as powerful as relying on flames directly.

And if you want to further increase the temperature of the flame, you can only enhance the flame injection module by increasing your mental power, or count on scientists to find a way to restore industrial civilization.

These are not things that can be considered now.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan put aside the matter of metal and continued to dig through the ashes.

Ok?
There seems to be something in the ashes?
A flashing red object attracted Chen Xuan's attention.

That's clearly not burning red carbon.

It wasn't until Chen Xuan pulled it out from the pile of ashes that the red thing revealed its true colors.

It was a small red lump less than the size of a palm, extremely irregular in shape and dark red in color, as if it was blood coagulation.

Chen Xuan picked it up, the small red piece felt warm to the touch, heavy and hard in texture, and Chen Xuan could smell a very strong smell of blood from above.

This doesn't make sense. Under the long-term fire, the blood stains have been burned away, and there is nothing left. What is this red thing?
With doubts, Chen Xuan activated the "Illustrated Book Module of Movable Type".

------

Name: Scarlet Gold

Type: special material

Features: High-quality metal absorbs a huge amount of flesh and blood essence, coupled with high temperature conditions, there is a certain chance of forming.

Due to the special formation conditions, scarlet fine gold is not only stronger than ordinary metals, but also this metal is very sensitive to blood, the speed of absorbing energy through blood is far faster than the speed of energy transfer by ordinary metals.

Scarlet Gold can absorb blood energy to repair and grow itself, becoming harder.In addition, scarlet gold can also convert the energy absorbed from the blood into a special energy and store it.

Weaknesses: Forging is not easy, not only requires a higher temperature, but also must be accompanied by a large amount of flesh and blood essence.

------

Chen Xuan was a little surprised by the scan results.

Scarlet gold, the name sounds very powerful, and the effect is also very special, it can absorb blood to grow by itself.

It sounds a bit sinister.

Just want to forge but you have to add a lot of flesh and blood? !

Not yet.

This……

In some ancient legends, there were indeed stories about forging magical weapons with blood, but Chen Xuan always felt that it was just because the ancients were ignorant.

But right now, this scarlet gold really needs blood to melt.

So if he wanted to use scarlet fine gold, he had to hunt a lot of creatures.

It's a little tricky.

Chen Xuan rummaged through the ashes for a while, but did not find a second piece of scarlet gold.

This thing is indeed very rare.

He had rummaged through the remaining ashes of the bird's nest so far, and there was nothing left to collect.

He looked up at the sky.

It was already afternoon, and there was still some time until evening.

And it has been more than a day since he discovered the island.

Then he expanded the system panel and checked the status of the materials.

------

【Current resources】：
"Wood": 519 units.

"Plant fiber": 923 units.

"Bioplastic": 9 units.

"Oil": 162 units.

"Metal": 183 units.

"Dirt": 6 units.

"Glass": 1 units.

"Stone": 56 units.

"Gel": 23 units.

------

The collection work is almost done.

Time to leave.

Chen Xuan decided to go, and he couldn't delay any longer.

He looked back one last time.

There used to be many human corpses piled here, but these corpses have been completely reduced to ashes.

Dust to dust, dust to dust.

Chen Xuan thought silently in his heart.

rest in peace.

……

On the way back, Chen Xuan ran to the corpse of the previous giant eagle, chopped off a large piece of bird meat, and dragged it away, which was as big as a sheep.

Then, he picked up a dozen hawthorns from the forest he passed by.

In addition, he collected several stones on the ground.

When he returned to the "Kunpeng", another 15 units of stones were added to the panel.

Right now, his materials are abundant.

First, he used the "Repair Module" to repair the "Kunpeng", and then he expanded the short wooden house to its original specifications.

While waiting for the restoration, he temporarily made a wooden shovel, dug two boxes of soil from the shore and moved them to the boat.

It is too slow to collect soil into the material space, so it is more reliable to dig directly.

In addition, he also dived underwater and searched for it.

Unfortunately, nothing was found, not even gelatinous algae.

After the restoration was completed, Chen Xuan set sail again.

And the small island became smaller and smaller behind him, and finally disappeared.
