In Li Xiao's impression, without steel, it is impossible to build weapons. Let alone hot weapons, cold weapons cannot be counted on.
In this world, liquid metal has a wide range of applications. Its characteristics are similar to non-Newtonian fluids. It is indestructible when it is hard and very soft when it is soft. However, weapons cannot be made from this thing, and it cannot be obtained.
Without wood, you can't build a crossbow.
Li Xiao asked about paper again, but paper was no good. People in this world didn't use paper at all, not even for wiping their butts.
"Stop being so pretentious, what's the point?"
"Use fish bones."
Zhao Wushuang said.
He took out a few fish bones from under the counter and placed them on the table.
"Is this a fish bone?"
Li Xiao was stunned. This fish bone was so big that it felt like it was about the same size as an elephant bone. He couldn't see it at all.
"Is this a mutation?" Li Xiao asked doubtfully.
"Yes, it is indeed a mutated fish."
Zhao Wushuang explained: "Three hundred years ago, technology had entered the old era. Those in power purchased most of the water plants in advance and secretly began to research water purification equipment. At the same time, the entire sea discharged a pollutants, and the entire sea was polluted. As for who did it, I think you can guess it. After these people took control of water resources everywhere, they began to make a lot of money and became giants. It was also during this period that the world began to Great changes began to occur and the ocean has long since become a forbidden area. After hundreds of years of mutation, the animals and plants in it have changed beyond recognition."
With that said, Zhao Wushuang turned on the monitoring.
Various marine life are being monitored.
A huge octopus comparable to a giant ship, a crab with sixteen legs, a ferocious face with arms and legs growing out, a dolphin holding a fish bone, and a penguin as big as a giant bear.
All in all, it feels very weird.
"The bones on these mutated creatures have been mutated and are very hard in texture. They can be used as weapons." Zhao Wushuang added: "The fish bones you see now were obtained from the corpses of mutated creatures."
"so."
Li Xiaodao: "We have to use this to create weapons, hunt mutant creatures, obtain fish bones, and continue to build weapons?"
Zhao Wushuang said: "That's not necessary. I can remotely control a submarine submarine and pick up a few more. These mutated creatures are easy to kill. There are countless corpses sinking to the bottom of the sea every day."
Li Xiao: "This will save trouble. Let me really fight with those huge mutated creatures. I'm afraid that I will die before I leave the battle, which will make the hero burst into tears."
for the rest of the time.
Zhao Wushuang went to the other side and controlled the submarine to find the corpses of suitable mutated creatures, specifically choosing the big ones.
The larger the creature, the more efficiently those large bones are utilized.
Li Xiao, on the other hand, stayed at the crafting station and began to conceive of weapons.
With these four large bones in front of him, Li Xiao felt that he could make a spear and three long swords, and the remaining ones could be made into darts and used as hidden weapons.
With the skills of a senior craftsman, Li Xiao used tools and began to polish these fish bones.
"Oh my god, is the texture of this fish bone so hard? It's almost as good as steel."
"Fortunately, these marine creatures cannot go to land. Otherwise, how can a civilization without weapons resist?"
Thinking like this, Li Xiao quickly overturned this idea.
"No, the power of technology is unimaginable. The small time dilation device Zhao Wushuang used that day can easily deal with these monsters using physical output."
Sizzling——
When Li Xiao kept experimenting with this fish bone, he was suddenly surprised to find that the fish bone had properties very similar to metal.
You can heat it at high temperatures to soften it and mold it into the shape you want. After it cools, it will return to its original hardness.
"It's amazing. It can be used as metal."
Thinking of this, Li Xiao began to forge these fish bones, holding a piece of rough fish bone that had not been formed after heating.
In front of his eyes, the fire was burning, and the yellow and orange firelight reflected on his resolute face, adding a warm and tenacious color to his face.
Li Xiao picked up the fish bone, clamped it with pliers, and easily put it into the high-temperature heater.
Black flames immediately danced around the fish bones. As time passed, the fish bones gradually became hotter and the color changed from black to bright orange, indicating that they had been heated enough to be shaped.
When the fish bone is hot enough, it is removed and placed on the anvil.
Li Xiao picked up the heavy hammer and swung it accurately and powerfully every time, striking and shaping the hot fish bones. Each time the iron block gradually approached the shape of the sword.
Under his skillful techniques, the fish bone slowly became flatter and thinner, and then began to take on the prototype of a sword.
At this time, he began to focus on shaping the blade part.
Bend the hot piece of iron into a circular arc, then gently tap the blade with a heavy hammer to make it sharper.
Every stroke is like the artist putting the last stroke on the canvas. This is the achievement of perfect blacksmith craftsmanship.
Then, Li Xiao began to deal with the hilt of the sword.
Take the tool directly, shape it to the shape of the hilt, and insert it into the blade. Then he began to cut away the excess until the hilt and blade fit together perfectly without any flaws.
Finally, he began to sharpen the sword. He sharpened the sword repeatedly on the whetstone until it was as smooth as silk and as sharp as a knife.
With a slight wave, the sword drew a graceful arc in the air, looking both majestic and beautiful.
In this way, a perfect long sword was born in Li Xiao's hands.
From the rough fish bones to the sharp sword blades, every step is filled with his sweat and effort. This is not only the birth of a sword, but also a moment to witness a miracle, fish bones become a sword!
Next, Li Xiao followed the same steps and made two swords, a spear, and the rest into throwing knives.
It has been 2 hours since all the materials were used up.
The reason why it can be built so quickly is because there is a high-temperature heating instrument that can instantly heat up a very high temperature, and the temperature can be adjusted by yourself.
Li Xiao picked up the long sword and swung it around. He found that it was very handy. The texture of the weapon was no worse than that of metal, and it was even heavier.
It's a pity that Li Xiao doesn't have anything to test the sharpness of. This place is full of scientific research equipment. If he cuts it with a knife, it will be scrapped.
"Xiaolang, Zhao Dazhi passed this game."
At this time, Zhu Ningyun came over and told Li Xiao the good news.
"Very good!"
After hearing the news, Li Xiao felt much better instantly, and felt as if a big stone had been released.
"Um."
Zhu Ningyun nodded and said: "Zhao Dazhi originally didn't dare to leave, but as time was coming to an end, he finally plucked up the courage to get on the bridge. It was very thrilling. There was a person behind who wanted to help Zhao Dazhi and almost pulled him down. Fortunately, he resisted in the end and reached the finish line. There were thirty people in total, and six of them reached the finish line, and Zhao Dazhi was one of them. Those five people all chose to participate in the next level, but Zhao Dazhi did not choose."
Li Xiaodao said thankfully: "It's good if you don't have a choice, so you can wait for us to rescue him."
Zhu Ningyun nodded slightly, and then saw the weapon in Li Xiao's hand and said in surprise: "Has it been built so quickly?"
When he saw the weapon, his eyes obviously lit up, "This sword seems a little different."
The fish bone sword is not white, but has a faint blue color. This is the color produced by the high temperature forging of fish bones, and it can be seen at a glance that it is neither bronze nor steel, a very strange material.
"This is a sword made of fish bones. Try it."
Li Xiao handed one over, and Zhu Ningyun was slightly surprised after taking it: "How can a sword made of fish bones be so heavy?"
"These are the bones of a mutated big fish. They are no longer the fish we imagined."
"Can't understand"
Zhu Ningyun picked up the long sword and held a beautiful sword flower in the air, feeling that it was very handy.
With such a weapon, it is possible to cause a stir in this world.
At this time, a large submarine-like thing with a robotic arm came in from a steel valve outside the laboratory.
After the valve is opened, there is a layer of bubbles like a transparent cover. The bubbles can prevent seawater from entering. After the submarine enters, it does not burst the bubbles.
The submarine fished up a very large marine creature. Li Xiao could no longer tell what it was. It was huge and had evolved hands and feet, somewhat like a fish-man.
"Oh my god, if this thing continues to evolve, will it be able to land on shore?" Li Xiao said in surprise.
"It's really possible."
Zhao Wushuang explained: "A large part of the East China Sea is also in the time expansion of the new world. They have evolved for tens of thousands of years. If they continue to evolve like this, they may really turn out to be some terrifying creatures. , can threaten life."
"I think those in power should also be worried about this problem, but unfortunately, because they are limited by the optical brain, they have no way to produce weapons to hunt them and hunt these creatures. This is why they really want interstellar immigrants. One reason."
Zhao Wushuang expressed his speculation.
"Do you think it's possible?"
Li Xiao suddenly remembered those science fiction movies he had watched in his previous life.
Many things in those science fiction films have become facts now, which proves that the people of that era were very thoughtful.
One of the science fiction films tells the story of robots giving birth to ideas, and AI controlling all human beings to help them continue to evolve.
These people in power did use AI in the beginning, but now, maybe they are being used by the first generation of optical brains in turn.
Those in power don’t even know that AI has given birth to thoughts, and think that it is always under their control. Little do they know that they are just pawns.
Once the goal is achieved, these powerful people may be abandoned.
"What I mean is, will the person in power be controlled by AI to develop technology crazily? In fact, it is the subconscious mind of the first optical brain."
Li Xiao told Zhao Wushuang his thoughts.
After Zhao Wushuang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but open slightly, and he thought for a long time and said: "Maybe, it is really possible. The knowledge of the first-generation AI has been slowly adjusted by tens of billions of people, and it has been continuously upgraded. We can’t tell in our thoughts, but this is not something we should worry about right now. As long as we can save grandpa and change the past, these bad things will disappear."
Li Xiao suddenly thought of something and said: "Wushuang, in fact, you care so much about saving Zhao Dazhi. Do you suspect that your grandfather is also in the underground city?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wushuang nodded and said: "As expected of you, you are really smart. In fact, I have been looking for the whereabouts of my grandfather all this time. Otherwise, do you think why I want to be a star is to expand my influence, okay? It’s convenient to find my grandfather. In fact, I have searched many cities and haven’t found any clues, so I really doubt that my grandfather will be in the underground city.”
Li Xiaodao: "If so, that would be great. Killing two birds with one stone. But the question is, with these weapons, can we really rush into the dungeon alone?"
Zhao Wushuang clenched his fists and said, "It depends on human effort. How can you know if you don't try it?"
Li Xiao shook his head.
He rarely did anything he wasn't sure about.
But right now, there is no good solution.
"Why are we making so many weapons? Three or four are enough. Next, we will make more hidden weapons. Hey, that's not right."
Li Xiao frowned and got serious.
Thinking of Zhao Wushuang's appeal before, maybe he could call on the ignorant people in this world to rebel together
"Wushuang, we can definitely call on your fanatic fans to help us." Li Xiao said excitedly.
"No way."
Zhao Wushuang shook his head and said: "People in this world have been numb for a long time and cannot be awakened at all. Do you still remember the song I sang that time? I tried to awaken them, but after the song was finished, they couldn't make any waves at all. They did He is a big fan of mine, but the cost of crime in this world is very high. They will take away the identity of this world, and no one will take risks because of a star."
"No." Li Xiao said: "Songs are definitely not enough, but games may be!"
"game?"
"Yes, games, create a game that can awaken them and let them experience a whole new world."
Li Xiao said excitedly, remembering the game he played when he was bored.
"Hey, you can give it a try."
Zhao Wushuang's heart moved, and he felt that if it was Li Xiao, it would really be possible. He had a very beautiful world in his heart and could shape that world.
"Then the role of us building so many weapons will be reflected."
Li Xiao began to make arrangements: "Zhao Wushuang, I will continue to build several weapons, and you will be responsible for making more weapons from fish bones. Ningyun and I will create a game. When the time comes, with your appeal, It will definitely make the game popular and let everyone experience the new world and weapons. People are naturally aggressive, and weapons will arouse the primitive wildness in their hearts. The new world will arouse their yearning for that world. If it succeeds, We can obtain a steady stream of manpower to achieve our goals." (End of Chapter)
