showdown!I enjoy life on the island

"So confident?"

"It's necessary. Xu Shen hasn't had much to do in the past half a month?"

"..."

The airflow turns around and continuously stretches the glass liquid.

Under the influence of the two skills of [Tool Making] and [Precision Processing], Xu Le's glass blowing control has reached the extreme.

Every breath blown out, through the long blowpipe, disturbs the air in the glass bottle, and then turns into a flexible and long force, stretching an insignificant outline.

Constantly rotating and constantly adjusting, the walls of the glass bottle are getting thinner and thinner.

It is difficult to obtain the clear brightness of industrial production with crude raw materials, then - use pure craftsmanship to make up for it!

The size of a fist... the size of a can of happy water...

Happy water for three dollars... Happy water for five dollars...

In the end, I forcibly propped up a glass bottle that was close to the volume of a large bucket of happy water!

The walls of the bottle are so thin that they are almost only one millimeter, which has reached the pinnacle of craftsmanship that is impossible with current materials.

The temperature of the molten glass gradually decreased, making blowing more and more difficult. If you want to continue, it is no longer something that can be solved by a miracle.

The strength of the material will usher in a complete limit, and if it crosses the line, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Xu Le maintained the current breath steadily, ensuring the regular shape of the glass bottle.

When the crystal had cooled until its form was almost completely stable, but still had a trace of glassy fluid properties, he touched his lower back with one hand and drew his saber.

A hundred-forged horizontal knife, black light flickered.

Two knives.

Cut off the bottom with one knife, cut off the neck with one knife, the incision is as smooth as a mirror.

Ding dong, there was a crisp sound, and the wide-mouthed and wide-bellied bottle landed firmly on the anvil.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"It's done?"

"This is the wind lamp wall? It's too thin!"

"This one-handed glass-blowing effort can't be done without more than ten years of accumulation!"

"..."

Xu Le flicked his fingers lightly, and the slightly variegated but still transparent bottle made a clear sound.

Chapter 328 Remodeling the Wooden Cow and Flowing Horse

Under the delicate airflow control, the thickness of the glass wall is uniform, and the stress is properly relieved.

Due to the limitations of the material, there are some variegated colors and textures inside, but the overall transparency is very good.

"This is the shade of the lantern."

Xu Le put down the blowpipe, pinched the upper edge of the lampshade with two fingers, and shook it to the firelight.

The firelight captured by the camera is still bright and dazzling.

The flames that penetrated the glass cast faint shadows on the walls of the workshop.

The base of the wind lamp is made of a whole disc-shaped wood.

Along the edge of the wooden plate, a circle of fixing slots is carved out to match the outline of the lampshade.

A shallow pit was dug out in the center of the wooden plate, and Xu Le nailed a thin iron brazing into the shallow pit. The iron brazing was the scrap left over from the previous forging.

In this way, the candle is placed in the base, and the thin iron brazing drills into the bottom of the candle, which can play a good role in fixing.

Attached to the upper edge of the lampshade is a ring-shaped wood hollowed out in the middle, and the wood is also dug out to fit the contour of the lampshade as a fixation.

After the simple installation, Xu Le dug out the scraps of runners or connecting rods from the iron scraps accumulated in the workshop.

The waste materials are hammered into shape and made into six iron bars slightly longer than the height of the lampshade.

The iron bars are respectively nailed into the wooden plate of the base and the cover plate along the upper edge, connecting the whole wind lamp structure as a whole.

Then tie a lanyard around the edge of the upper cover, and the exquisite lantern is finished!

When in use, only a candle needs to be put in from the middle of the upper edge of the cover plate, and then lit after being fixed.

The warm orange light of the fire shines through the thin glass wall, and the lamp shadow flickers.

The six iron bars will not hinder the radiation of light at all, and can also protect the fragile lampshade so that it will not be damaged by inadvertent bumps during actions.

The lanyard can be carried by a wooden stick to become a lantern, or it can be hung directly on the waist and carried around, which is very convenient.

When the flame is burning, there will be a faint fragrance of beeswax.

If it is in a cold, humid and depressing place like a cave, this faint fragrance can also soothe the spirit and play a slight calming effect.

Xu Le casually hung the wind lamp on the corner of the workshop wall. When the sea breeze blows, the wind lamp flickers, but the light is stable.

There is no slight weakening due to the wind.

The old pigeons in the live broadcast room stared at the bright candlelight and sent barrage——

"Deadly Wind Lantern, as long as the wind isn't too strong, it won't blow out."

"Put a cover on it and keep it out of the rain."

"It's much more reliable than a torch."

"Fei Wa, how long can such a piece of candle burn?"

"More than an hour, at most two hours."

"Goddess Lin and the others made six or seven of them, which is enough for one cave exploration."

"Haha, if you don't think it smells bad, you can do it with suet or something."

"Farewell...you will smell like lamb's kidneys."

"Isn't it possible to hide yourself, so it's not easy to be discovered."

"No, it will be easier to be discovered by then, right? Such a big smell, the whole thing is a moving grill."

"Hello, chest brother in the hole, this is Meidan takeaway, and the roasted kidney you ordered has arrived."

"Please give a five-star review."

"But I think it's more likely that Xu Shen said, I'm sorry, I'm here to pick up the meal."

"..."

The old pigeons looked at Xu Le in the picture nonchalantly and continued to work.

After the first wind lantern was made, the second wind lantern was also completed soon.

The two wind lamps serve as spare tires for each other, preventing one from being damaged and having no lights available.

When multiple people enter the cave together, there can also be multiple light sources. The probability of two candles going out at the same time is not high after all.

The lighting coverage can also be wider.

Of course, the consumption of candles will also double, so collecting beeswax is also one of the next preparations.

Xu Le didn't intend to catch a swarm of bees, it's not advisable to catch a swarm of bees, and the wild bees behind the meadow were domesticated by themselves.

There is still a little emotion.

The island is so big, how could there be only one bee colony?

Let the domesticated wild bees bring them to find wild bees from other families. If you want to squeeze everyone together, this is called rain and dew.

sleep!

……

The next few days will be spent collecting and building.

Xu Le rode a black panther with shiny fur, surrounded by a group of wild bees.

After domestication, the wild bees thoughtfully sold out the nests of other bee colonies on the island.

As a result, in Xu Le's cliff shelter, the completed candles and hoarded beeswax filled half of the wall shelves.

These candles are strong enough to provide continuous lighting for over 72 hours.

"About the lighting, there is nothing to be afraid of." Xu Le said to Lin Xihan and Meng Yiyi with a smile while holding the coconut juice after finishing all this.

"If you are willing to come and help to do it together, Yiyi and I will be more touched."

After placing a batch of candles, Lin Xihan raised her brows and said a word back.

"I've been busy collecting, refining, and so on."

Xu Le confidently pointed to a pile of honeycomb piled up in the corner.

By the way, turn on the [Deterrence] skill to scare away the swarm of bees that came all the way to beat Sap after being robbed of the hive.

The bee colonies that lost their nests and mother bees are basically homeless, and all of them can be incorporated into Xu Le's domesticated bee colonies by then.

This is the case with bee swarms or insect swarms, the core of which is the mother bee.

The bee colony domesticated by Xu Le has the only female bee, and the other bee colonies really have no choice if they want to survive.

This is much easier than the fire of wolves or orangutans.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't I also give the bee colony a name?"

Xu Le crossed his arms and rubbed his chin, thinking, otherwise, he would always use the word bee colony to refer to it, which would be boring.

The other battle pets already have names.

"How about just Kerrigan?"

"You who command the swarm should be called Kerrigan, right?" Lin Xihan mixed some honey water, sipped and complained.

Tsk, did Tsundere become a Tucao in seconds, and you are actually a StarCraft player... Even with such good eyesight, playing StarCraft is such a waste.

Xu Le nodded: "That's Kerrigan."

"???" Lin Xihan.

Just talking, you tamed it anyway... She turned her head and went to prepare lunch.

Xu Le waved his hand and picked up a few wild bees: "Kerrigan, all the insects on the island are under your control.

"The swarm never stops."

Lin Xihan, who was fetching water, staggered, and Meng Yiyi raised her head in confusion: "What never stops?"

Xu Le grinned: "It's okay, I'll take you to have fun when you get out of the island."

……

In addition to the candles, four wooden cows and horses Wujiu Kai were also transformed.

The giant spirit and Bajie worked together to collect more iron ore.

After melting and casting, some of the original brackets and other parts of the wooden cow and horse were replaced.

This is to improve the overall structural strength of this ancient mechanism horse. If the original wooden material continues to accumulate weight, it will inevitably be insufficient.

After all, the wooden cattle and horses developed by the military division were originally used to pull goods, not to be used as gun mounts.

It's really hard for me to carry a cannon.

Xu Le replaced it very sparingly. On the premise of improving the structural strength, he also ensured that the weight of the bracket would not increase too much.

The toughness of wood and the hardness of steel complement each other perfectly.

With the high-performance carbon cake, the operating efficiency of the steam engine has been further improved.

In the second version of the steam engine, the steam is condensed and refluxed inside, and a single addition of water is enough to supply an hour of operation.

If the volume of the water tank is increased, this time can be further increased.

Continue to reform in this way.
