Chapter 162
[Huang Shang: Then you wait a moment, I'll be there soon. ]
After replying to Su Yan's message, Huang Shang immediately sat on Xiaoyun and rushed to the Spark.
Less than 100 meters away, Huang Shang saw the horrible Spark.
At this time, the Spark reopened the protective shield to prevent further collisions and direct scrapping.
Through the protective shield, Huang Shang could clearly see the condition of the Spark.
On the deck, there were shallow pits left by the explosion of rubber bombs.
And the entire Spark was also blown out with 6 one-meter-wide holes, three on the front deck, two on the rear deck, and one on the top of the living area.
These holes were caused by the big rubber bombs.
At this time, Su Yan and the other two were sitting on the deck, all with a worried look.
Xiaoyun brought Huang Shang to the front deck of the Spark.
"Master Huang, you're back~" Rong Duomeng trotted all the way and threw herself into Huang Shang's arms.
Feeling Rong Duomeng's exaggerated body proportions, Huang Shang didn't dare to hug her too much.
He put his arm around Rong Duomeng's shoulders and moved her away, smiling and saying, "Xiao Meng, you're a little heavier."
"No way?" Rong Duomeng took two steps back, widened her eyes, pouted and said, "I just ate a lollipop!"
"Haha." Rong Duomeng's cute and innocent look made Huang Shang laugh.
Seeing Rong Duomeng vacate her position, Su Yan also stepped forward and gently hugged Huang Shang, and said mischievously, "Our hero is back."
"Hmm?" Huang Shang raised his eyebrows, put his arm around Su Yan's shoulders, and lifted her chin, "Why do you say that, beauty?"
Unexpectedly, Huang Shang dared to tease her in front of Xiao Meng and Rong Ming. Su Yan was caught off guard and blushed.
Then she quickly reacted, leaned forward and smiled:
"Thank you, hero, for saving me from the water and fire."
"From now on, let Xiao Meng be your slave."
"Wow, good, good!" Rong Duomeng's eyes lit up and shouted.
Looking at his granddaughter who was not hiding anything in front of him, Rong Ming felt that he was a little redundant. He coughed lightly and said:
"Ahem!"
"Master Huang, I have already explored the east side of the island."
"It's all undulating rocks, so it's difficult to explore."
"I only found a pool of water, but the wooden beast can't go down."
"I didn't dare to go down either. I don't know what's inside."
Hearing Rong Ming's report, Huang Shang let go of Su Yan in his arms and nodded:
"You are right not to go down. This island is indeed more dangerous."
"Don't underestimate any place."
"Let's go to the pool tomorrow. Before dark, let's collect the rubber forest first."
"Okay, then should we cut down trees first?" Rong Duomeng pulled Huang Shang's clothes, wishing she could stick to Huang Shang.
Huang Shang pondered for a moment and arranged for everyone:
"Xiao Meng, you and your grandfather go to the location of the rubber tree king. All the rubber trees within a radius of 50 meters there are dead. Collect them directly."
"Su Yan, I will clear a path for you first, you continue to drive the boat and push down all the rubber trees that are not dead."
"Ah?" Su Yan was surprised. The Spark could no longer withstand any attacks.
"It's okay." Seeing Su Yan's worry, Huang Shang patted Su Yan's shoulder and explained:
"The Spark has a protective shield, and pushing a tree is enough."
"Although the speed is reduced by half, the efficiency is still faster than my logging."
"And because of the withdrawal of the rubber tree king, the trees in other locations are sparse by half."
"Yeah, I listen to you." Su Yan nodded.
...
"Shh~"
"Squeak~"
In less than 5 minutes, Huang Shang waved the bone saw and cleared a passage for the Spark, enough for it to speed up.
Back in the workshop of the Spark, Huang Shang walked straight to the workbench.
Because the workshop was not hit by the rubber bomb, 10 furnaces continued to work.
Nearly 20 furnaces on the rear deck had been blown up. Fortunately, although the furnaces were damaged, the materials in the furnaces were still there.
Huang Shang swept a batch of stones from the market and remade 20 furnaces.
[Beep]
A friend reminder sounded.
[Chen Gang: Mr. Huang, we didn't find the magnet and copper ore you mentioned. ]
[Chen Gang: But we found a piece of high-grade stone. We have collected 100 pieces. Do you need it? ]
[Water Yellow Stone:
A high-grade stone.
The yellow line stone is continuously washed by water and finally formed into stone.
]
Huang Shang was delighted when he saw the message sent by Chen Gang.
High-grade stone?
Then can we make a high-grade furnace and make steel?
I remember the first time I used the furnace, after putting the iron ingot into it, it showed that it could not be smelted.
If I make a more advanced furnace, can I make steel?
Thinking of this, Huang Shang immediately sent a message back to Chen Gang.
[Huang Shang: Just right, give me some first. ]
[Chen Gang: OK, I have already initiated the transaction. ]
Seeing the transaction reminder in the system, Huang Shang immediately opened it and clicked to confirm.
"Huh?"
"Why did you give me all 100?"
Seeing that there were 100 more high-level stones in his backpack, Huang Shang was slightly puzzled and asked Chen Gang.
[Huang Shang: Why did you give me all? Isn't it 30% to 70%? ]
[Chen Gang: Mr. Huang needs it urgently, so take it first. Anyway, I don't need it now. ]
[Chen Gang: We are still mining more now. I will trade it to you when there are 100. ]
【Huang Shang: OK. 】
Looking at Chen Gang's message, Huang Shang nodded slightly, thinking to himself:
This Chen Gang is quite reasonable and straightforward.
If he can always be so obedient, he can help him when needed.
Taking out 20 water yellow stones from his backpack, Huang Shang remade a furnace on the workbench.
Looking at the progress bar on the workbench, he looked expectant.
Water yellow stone -20
Advanced furnace +1
"Haha, there really is an advanced furnace."
Excitedly taking the furnace out of the workbench and placing it in the center of the room, Huang Shang checked the item information.
I don't know if it's a problem with the material, this furnace is light yellow, the same color as the water yellow stone.
The patterns on it are complex, and it still looks retro and mysterious.
The size is the same as that of an ordinary furnace, a rectangular block of 1m*2m*1m.
【Advanced furnace:
It can smelt materials, divided into three parts: combustion furnace, synthesis furnace, and output furnace. Put in materials and synthesize automatically.
Compared with ordinary furnaces, the smelting speed of advanced furnaces is doubled, and the fuel consumption remains unchanged.
】
"Uh~"
Huang Shang looked at the advanced furnace in astonishment. This was completely different from what he imagined.
Compared with ordinary furnaces, it only has the advantage of doubling the smelting speed.
Huang Shang, who was unwilling to give up, added charcoal and iron ingots to the advanced furnace, trying to make steel.
[Unable to smelt! ]
Looking at the prompts that appeared on the furnace, Huang Shang was slightly disappointed.
It seems that he thought too simply.
How could steel be made so easily by himself.
However, maybe the fuel is wrong?
There is a coal field 3 kilometers north of the center of the island. I will bring some coal to try it tomorrow.
