Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 256 Leaving Tianshuang Plateau
Among these materials, "wood", "plant fiber" and "oil" are relatively easy to get.

There are many cedars growing on the Tianshuang Plateau, and the cedars can also produce cedar oil, which is perfect.

Cut down a few trees, and you should be able to gather enough relevant materials.

The biggest problems are still "metals" and "bioplastics" as well as explosive substances.

"Bioplastics" can only be obtained through fluorescent seaweed, which is impossible in this sea area. If you want to collect them, you must leave the Tianshuang Plateau and look for them in warm areas.

And "metal" is not easy, it is quite troublesome to get so much metal by yourself.

After much deliberation, Chen Xuan was still planning to talk to the Great Elder.

There are a lot of metal materials in the city, and the residents here specialize in collecting them. Over such a long time, they should have accumulated quite a lot.

And in his own cabin, there are still a lot of polar bear furs that can be traded.

As for the polar bear fur, he can't use it now, so it can be replaced.

You only need to keep a small part of it, and bring it back to the North Wind Plateau for Zhang Mingjie and the others to study.

Because Chen Xuan was a little tired from the previous trip to the ultra-ancient ruins, he didn't leave immediately, but chose to rest for a whole night first.

Early the next morning, Chen Xuan changed into the psionic master's robe, took a part of the polar bear fur, entered the Sunshine Tower, and found the Great Elder.

"What, such a good thing, are you sure you want to exchange those metal trash?"

After listening to Chen Xuan's explanation of his purpose of coming, the elder was really surprised.

On the one hand, they were amazed at Chen Xuan's strength.

You know, they have never even seen a polar bear, let alone hunted it.

The Great Elder, who has grown old and refined, can see the extraordinaryness of the fur at a glance. No matter in terms of thermal insulation performance or energy intensity, among the several types of fur they currently have, none of them can compare with it.

But judging from its fur, this creature should be quite fierce and strong.

Chen Xuan was able to complete the hunt alone?
This young man is really not simple.

On the other hand, what confuses him is that polar bear fur is quite precious.

As for those metal objects, although they also have some functions, they cannot be compared with polar bears.

Moreover, many metal products cannot even be used. Even so, Chen Xuan is willing to ask for it, which makes him puzzled.

What does Chen Xuan want so many metal products for?
The Great Elder couldn't see through this young man.

However, he has no reason to refuse the deal proposed by Chen Xuan.

The Great Elder pondered for a moment, then continued.

"Although this transaction is very attractive, there are not so many metal items in the Sunshine Tower. You know, this is only a small part of the people in the village below."

"If you need these things so much, you might as well go to Tianshuang Village, where you should be able to find enough things you want, and these polar bear furs are more helpful to those people, and psionicists are not very dependent on them. Foreign objects."

Tianshuang Village?
Chen Xuan remembered that Zhuoma and the others he had just met on the Tianshuang Plateau came from Tianshuang Village.

Tianshuang Village sits above what was once a city, and its residents make a living by excavating the snow-buried city in search of useful items within.

This is indeed a way.

After asking the Great Elder about the location of Tianshuang Village, Chen Xuan used the bear skin as a cushion, dragged a part of the metal he had just exchanged, and left the Sunshine Tower.

He found an unmanned angle to absorb these metals. Since the system was upgraded again, he can now directly receive these metals into the material space without smelting.

For some large metal objects, he can also directly absorb them.

After a while, the snow field was empty, and Chen Xuan also obtained 112 units of "metal".

Then, he started to head towards Tianshuang Village.

After all, Tianshuang Village was built on the original city. It is impossible to be near the mountains like Orion Village, so the location is not very remote.

In less than an hour, Chen Xuan arrived near Tianshuang Village.

And here, he saw countless towering buildings, but only the top one or two floors of these buildings were exposed, and the rest was completely buried by snow.

Through these buildings, we can vaguely see the style of the former Tianshuang City.

There are also huge artificially dug deep pits on the snow, leading to those completely buried buildings under the snow.

Countless people were active in it, moving things out of it and temporarily stacking them in one place.

I don't know if it's because of Chen Xuan's robe that symbolizes the identity of a psionicist, or because the polar bear fur behind him is too big and conspicuous, but soon he attracted the attention of a large number of people.

Slowly, shallow snow bumps appeared in the field of vision one by one.

Tianshuang Village, here we come.

The architectural style here is similar to the Orion Village he saw before, and there are also various snow houses of different sizes.

However, the size and number of snow houses here are much larger than those in Orion Village. Obviously, Tianshuang Village has a large population.

With his identity as a psionic master, Chen Xuan easily found the location of the local village head.

And when he came to the snow house where the village head was, he unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance here.

"Hey? You're not the brother from Orion Village from before. It's been a long time. Why did you become a psionic master so quickly?"

"No, I heard that the practice of a psionic master usually lasts for a month."

"Could it be that you are very talented?"

"By the way, is Zhuoma okay in the Sunshine Pagoda? Did he also come out?"

Thin and tall, with the attributes of talking tuberculosis.

It was when Chen Xuan first went to Tianshuang Plateau that he met Tashi.

Tashi recognized Chen Xuan, and greeted him cordially as soon as he came up, but it was this way of greeting that made Chen Xuan a little unbearable.

As before, Tashi's talkativeness has not diminished.

Fortunately, there is only Tashi now, and Chen Xuan can still get in the conversation, unlike before when he was facing a group of chatterboxes, who had no chance to speak at all.

"Everything is fine with Dolma. She is working hard in the Sunshine Pagoda to cultivate her psionic abilities. It may take some time before she can come out."

Chen Xuan said vaguely.

In fact, he doesn't know what Zhuoma is doing now and when he will be able to come out.

Since entering the Sunshine Pagoda, except for the first few enlightenment teachings, he has hardly seen Zhuoma.

Psychic masters lived in secluded places, even if two psionic masters were only separated by a wall, they probably rarely had the chance to meet each other.

In addition, he followed the elder directly to learn the use of psionic powers, and he never saw Zhuoma again.

He can only be so perfunctory.

"What? Tashi, do you know this psionicist?"

The village head is a tall, thin man, somewhat similar in appearance to Tashi, with the same long face and thick eyebrows.

It is clear from this look that the two are father and son.

But I didn't expect that Tashi was the son of the head of Tianshuang Village.

Like a father, like a son, could it be said that the village chief in front of him is also a talker?
Chen Xuan was a little nervous.

"Yes, Dad, we met this friend on the way to the Sunshine Pagoda, and he came from Orion Village."

Hearing Tashi's introduction to him, Chen Xuan's eyes twitched slightly.

I'm not...forget it.

He was too lazy to explain.

It is still important to complete the transaction first and get the materials.

I saw Chen Xuan said seriously.

"Mr. Village Chief, I'm here this time, I want to make some deals..."

Then, Chen Xuan explained his purpose of coming and showed off the polar bear fur.

Seeing the polar bear's fur, Tashi and his father's eyes lit up.

Especially Tashi, who stroked the polar bear's skin with his hands while muttering words.

"Brother, it's amazing that your Orion Village can even hunt polar bears. It shouldn't be easy to deal with such beasts, right?"

"Looking at how thick it is, the snow wolf skin is nothing compared to this."

"But what do you want so much metal waste for? Could it be that the people of Orion Village have found some way to apply it?"

"Don't ask about this, I naturally have my uses."

Chen Xuan directly stopped Tashi's chatter, and then looked at Tashi's father.

Fortunately, the village head is not a talker.

"Mr. Village Chief, what do you think?"

Tashi's father also had unconcealable excitement in his eyes at the moment.

But after all, he is an old man, he quickly suppressed his excitement, and asked cautiously.

"Little brother, are you sure you want to exchange such a precious thing?"

"Sure, Mr. Village Chief, please hurry up, I'm in a hurry." Chen Xuan's tone was without any hesitation.

"There are so many things that can't be assembled at once. It needs to mobilize the strength of the whole village."

Then, he said to Tashi in an excited tone.

"Tashi, hurry up, go and call all the villagers to the square for a meeting."

As the saying goes, money can make a ghost run the mill.

The next thing can be said to be a matter of course.

Under Tashi's father's activities, soon, large quantities of metal were brought to Chen Xuan.

Things couldn't fit in the room, so things were piled outside.

In the end, countless metal parts piled up directly into a hill.

Looking at the 2-meter-high hill made of various metal products, Chen Xuan felt at a loss as to where to start.

It was the first time he had seen so much metal since entering the last days.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to collect these metals in front of people, it would be too ostentatious.

In order not to attract the attention of others, he first dragged a part of the metal out of Tianshuang Village, and when he reached a distance, he found an unoccupied corner to absorb it.

However, it would be strange that he couldn't go back to Tianshuang Village right now.

How could a normal person dispose of those things in such a short time, not even enough time to go back and forth.

Still need to leave some time as a buffer.

But waiting is not enough.

Chen Xuan walked around the area and quickly found a cedar forest.

He was going to cut wood on the spot.

To enhance efficiency, he also made a metal axe.

Since the system was upgraded again, now he directly used materials to transform a simple metal ax with his thoughts alone.

The next step is to optimize the delivery system.

Yellow light bloomed on the metal axe.

However, to Chen Xuan's surprise, after only 10 minutes, there was a reminder that the optimization was successful.

"The metal ax has been optimized for the first time, increasing the effect of sharpness! (The hard properties of metal are fully utilized, making this ax sharper to the extreme.)"

It seems that due to the system upgrade, the optimization time has been further shortened.

In the earliest days, Chen Xuan had just made his first yellow item, the Iron Mouth Gun, but it took three or four hours to optimize it.

And the optimized effect of the metal ax is just right for logging.

Having learned from the previous experience, Chen Xuan plans to collect more materials this time, lest they will not be enough when they get it.

Holding an axe, Chen Xuan came to a cedar tree.

The cedar tree in front of me is quite thick and tall, although it is not as terrifying as Han Yuzao, but at a glance, it looks like a pillar of the sky.

Cutting from below will never be easy.

After thinking about it, Chen Xuan simply kicked his feet and climbed up the tree quickly, then swung his ax and chopped towards those branches.

Although it is not easy to cut the branches, it is much easier than cutting the trunk directly.

After a few minutes, only a "click" sound was heard.

A branch nearly ten meters long was cut off, but it disappeared before it fell to the ground.

It was directly taken into the system space by Chen Xuan and turned into "wood" and "plant fiber".

And the cedar oil emerging from the fracture was also taken into the space by him.

In this way, Chen Xuan turned into a hard-working lumberjack, fighting on one cedar after another.

When it was almost time, he returned to Tianshuang Village to carry the metal.

so back and forth.

……

In a flash, two days passed.

During this period, Chen Xuan went back and forth between the cedar forest and Tianshuang Village countless times.

He cut down the entire cedar forest to bare tree trunks, and he also cleaned up the hills that had been piled up with metal objects.

In the end, he collected more than 4000 units of "wood", more than 3000 units of "plant fiber", more than 1000 units of "cedar oil", and more than 3000 units of "metal".

With so many materials, even after upgrading the "Kunpeng", there will still be a lot left.

It can be said that once and for all, he will not have to worry about these materials for a long time to come.

Today, only explosive substances and "bioplastics" are missing.

These materials can only be found elsewhere.

He should leave.

Before parting, he went to the Sunshine Pagoda again to say goodbye to the Great Elder.

After all, during this period of time, the Great Elder not only taught him the method of spiritual power cultivation, but also helped him a lot in other matters.

The Great Elder is his teacher.

Regarding Chen Xuan's departure, although the Great Elder felt a little regretful, he was not surprised.

"From the very beginning when you rejected my proposal, I knew that you would not stay here for a long time. I didn't expect this day to come so soon."

"My initial thought may be wrong. A talent like you should not be confined to one place. Go ahead and give full play to your talent."

"Great Elder, don't worry, I will come back in the future, and bring people from Dongji Mountain with me, so that Tianshuang City can stand upright on this land again."

After finishing speaking, Chen Xuan bowed deeply to the Great Elder, then turned and left.

In the room, only the Great Elder was left.

"What will the future of mankind be like?"

The Great Elder sighed faintly, and then returned to a sculpture.
