Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 134 New Craftsman Soul Tools
Shen Jin opened the [Craftsman's Handbook], which showed that he had unlocked four large tools:
Hammer, felling axe, sickle, digging shovel.
"Great stuff! These are the essence of the craftsman's spirit. With these, who would still use those broken tools?"
These four tools are what an experienced MC player would use, and the mining range of the four tools has been expanded!
Take the hammer for example, it is a tool that replaces the pickaxe, but can also be used as a heavy weapon, dual purpose!
Its digging range is 3×3×1 grids, with the excavated block as the center, expanding outward to become a grid with a range of 3×3×1. In other words, it can dig nine blocks at a time!
9 cubic meters of space!
The digging ability is 9 times stronger than that of a pickaxe!
It is a great tool for mining. If each member of the Super Team is equipped with a hammer, their efficiency in mining in the wild will be greatly improved. The synthesis formula of the hammer is:
[Tough handle] + [Hammer] + [Big board] + [Big board]
Synthesis consumes more materials and also has one more part than ordinary tools, so it can obtain more durability and attribute entries. Shen Jin plans to make a big hammer and put it in the package for use. This thing is really fast at digging ore!
Although he basically doesn't use it now, he can't live without it.
"But... before I do that, I have to go check on my seabed mine to see if I've found any cobalt ore. Now I have a group of Adit ore. If I get some more cobalt ore, I can synthesize Mayulin!"
Mayulin is a high-end alloy with the characteristics of high durability, high digging speed and high damage. It is almost a perfect material. It has the highest attack power among all materials for making weapons, and it also comes with a damage-increasing attribute, which directly increases the attack power to the maximum!
"There are two ways to make a sledgehammer. One is to make it as a pure tool, then use cobalt to make the hammer head, and the digging speed will be extremely fast. If it is used as a weapon and for digging, you have to use Mayulin!"
Shen Jin put on a jet pack and came to a seaside villa , where there was a passage leading to the seabed mine. Next to a pit was a steel storage box. Shen Jin took out a mine cart from it, sat on it and followed the rails 3,000 meters underground. Below was a large flat land, surrounded by supporting pillars and simple fluorescent lamps, illuminating the underground space. Mining machines were placed in the middle of the supporting pillars, and wires extended from several MFE power storage boxes to connect these mining machines for power supply.
Most of the machines here have stopped working, only a few are still digging. Shen Jin first went to see the four that were still running. As the [mining pipeline] extends downward to its limit and there are no minerals, the [mining machines] will stop working. And after a trip to S City, the ones that are still working... must have shipped goods!
The first one, Shen Jin opened the [Steel Storage Box] next to him and found a large amount of [Saltpeter] inside, which can be extracted to make [Gunpowder], the main material for making TNT. "Great! It just so happens that all the [Gunpowder] I saved before has been used up. These total... 68 sets of [Saltpeter] can be refined into a large amount of [Gunpowder], and we can practice nuclear peace again!"
Of course, in addition to [Saltpeter], there are some other minerals in the box next to this [Mining Machine]. The most common one is [Mineral Sand Mixture]. You can use [Mineral Washing Machine] to wash out a variety of mineral components. Most of the washed out are [A small handful of × powder]. It takes 9 to synthesize 1 mineral powder, and after smelting, you can get 1 mineral ingot.
Although the quantities are relatively small, if you accumulate a lot of them, you can get a lot of minerals, especially rare minerals.
That's how Shen Jin synthesized the cobalt he had saved up before. He put the three full steel storage boxes into his backpack. The remaining box was still being used to mine saltpeter 250 meters underground. Before he came, he had put the steel storage box he often carried on his body into his bedroom. He would transport the minerals up there and then exchange them back. Now Shen Jin didn't have enough resources to start over. He was really a little fragile~!
Fortunately, they were in their own territory, and the second [mining machine] that was still working was right next to them. Shen Jin went over to take a look and saw that there was also a lot of [saltpeter]. "It seems that these two [mining machines] have collected the same ore vein!"
After Shen Jin took it away, he looked at the storage space of several nearby [mining machines] and found a lot of [saltpeter]. The third [mining machine] in operation had dug up a large amount of [iron ore].
The surrounding [mining machines] also dug up [copper ore], [tin ore], [manganese nodules] and a small amount of [gold ore]. The last working [mining machine] dug up a large amount of [quartz stone], including various colors. It is not only beautiful as a decoration, but also can be used to enhance the sharpness of the craftsman soul weapons. Quartz crystal is a natural mineral in nature with hardness second only to diamond. Adding it to weapons can greatly increase the sharpness, which is very reasonable!
The most interesting thing is that one of the large pieces of jade is [Emerald]!
There are 54 in total.
Emerald can be used to strengthen weapons and armor, increasing durability by 50%. "It turns out that jade ore is emerald ore... I was wondering how some of the jewelry in the jewelry store can be synthesized into Emerald..."
Shen Jin didn't care about the Emeralds at all, because they were useless except for their appearance. Reality was not a game world, and he could use the Emeralds to exchange for items from villagers. It was the strengthening of the Artisan Soul that made the Emeralds useful. Of course, with three strengthening opportunities, it would be a bit of a waste to use one to increase the total durability. "So... stock up!"
It’s always a good idea to stockpile things when you’re undecided, just in case you need them in the future.
After several operations, Shen Jin took away all the full [steel storage boxes] and moved the [mining machines] that had stopped working to another place for digging. The underground mining platform was originally wide enough for these 100 machines to dig for more than ten rounds. After the digging here is finished, Shen Jin will continue to dig diagonally downward into the deep sea. After a long while, Shen Jin finally finished. The 100 [ore washing machines] on the beach began to work. A large amount of turbid powder appeared in the sea water. It was the impurities washed away, leaving only useful minerals and a large amount of [stone powder]. [Stone powder] can be mixed with [clay] and [sand] to make [construction foam], which is used to build houses. Its warmth retention and appearance are much better than [cobblestone]. The shops and schools in the inner city were sprayed with [construction foam]. After drying, they became what they are now, which is obviously more upscale than [cobblestone] houses and [log] houses. "It's a pity that no cobalt ore was found, so we can only... draw!"
