In the next few days, Chu Jungui was busy. He continued to travel back and forth to the forest, exploring deeper and deeper, expanding his known range in preparation for his final march into the valley.
The good news is that he dug deeper into the area where he found pyrrhotite and finally found a small vein. This vein is associated with copper and nickel. With copper, he can try to build some electrical equipment, and at the same time, heavy machine gun ammunition is also guaranteed.
Nickel is an important component of basic iron alloys. The day after finding nickel, Chu Jungui's axes, long saws, arm shields and daggers were all updated. He finally got rid of the dilemma of having to change axes every day.
But what he wanted more was lead. Now it is no longer materials that restrict his production capacity, but energy. Although more stellar panels can be made, there are only two polymer batteries. This kind of battery is not something he can make with the current resources, and he won't be able to make it even if the technology advances for several generations.
Now that he has a large amount of sulfuric acid, lead-acid batteries have become the most realistic choice. However, after failing to find a lead mine for several days, Chu Jungui had to bow to reality. He obtained a little lead by dismantling the materials of the rescue cabin, and finally gathered all the materials.
Fortunately, lead-acid batteries use more sulfuric acid. This amount of lead is enough for him to make several battery packs, which together can be equivalent to three polymer batteries.
More batteries means more production capacity.
In fact, during this process, Chu Jungui had secretly cursed Deep Space Energy's black heart and greed many times in his heart. Whether it is a printer or a refiner, it is said that other energy sources can be used, but in the stage of survival in the wild, where can he find those advanced energy sources? In the end, only batteries can be used. In fact, as long as an energy conversion and filtering component is added, the stellar energy panel can be directly used for power supply.
But if you add a component, won't the cost increase accordingly? There are so many colonial stars and so many spaceships. Each spacecraft must have a rescue capsule, and each rescue capsule must have a basic survival suit. If an energy conversion component is added to all of them, the total new cost will be astronomical.
But Chu Jungui didn't believe how many people could survive on two batteries. Not everyone is like him and has the ability to modify and design blueprints independently.
Complaints are complaints, but the reality is that he has not yet been able to build an energy component that can match the printer, and he can only survive on batteries.
However, compared with the beginning, the energy situation has improved significantly now. He is now equivalent to a rich man with five batteries in his hand. He can now do things that he did not dare to try before.
For example, heavy machine guns.
There were materials and energy, so on the sixth day, Chu Jungui finally got the heavy machine gun he designed and... a hundred rounds of bullets.
In the high-volume work of manufacturing bullets, the efficiency of the printer is appallingly low, and the bullets have to be printed one after another. After staying up all day, Chu Jungui really didn't want to wait any longer, and was going to go out exploring with this little ammunition.
He had lived in this area for so many days, and the scope of his activities was getting wider and wider, and he finally attracted the attention of some beings. When he was resting in the last two nights, he clearly felt something lurking in the distance and looked here quietly. Perhaps the wooden house was something they had never seen before, and they didn't know the reality. They did not rush over immediately, but continued to observe it, and did not leave quietly until dawn for two consecutive nights.
Although Chu Jungui had some night vision ability, he did not intend to leave the cabin rashly at night, an environment that the other party was good at. What's more, what is being spied on is obviously not one, but some kind of social creature, which is more dangerous than a lone beast.
But with the heavy machine gun in hand, Chu Jungui felt confident. When it was nearly noon and the sun was sufficient, he carried the heavy machine gun and went to search areas where unknown creatures lurked.
The area where unknown creatures lurk is full of rocks and low vegetation, and the terrain is complex. It is indeed a good place to hide.
Chu Jungui spent an entire afternoon carefully searching the entire area and found only one trace that seemed like a footprint. The impressions show that the lurker's legs are divided into three parts. It seems to be walking upright on two legs. There should be sharp claws at the end that can be retracted and retracted.
Based on the comprehensive judgment from other traces, these lurkers are probably about two meters tall and have considerable combat power.
Chu Jungui walked around the claw mark a few times, then he had an idea in his mind, so he turned around and left. When he walked away, a pair of eyes slowly opened among the branches and leaves in the distance, staring at his back.
Returning to the wooden house, Chu Jungui knew that he might have invaded the hunting range of some kind of predatory creature. This kind of predatory creature may have rudimentary intelligence, but that's it. It's probably not an advanced intelligent life, or at least it doesn't know how to use equipment. However, they are dispatched in groups, with both speed and agility, and their instantaneous lethality may be quite astonishing. Moreover, they were very cunning and good at hiding themselves. At least until they lurked around the wooden house, Chu Jungui had no idea of their existence.
According to the habits of predatory creatures, their patience must be limited, and they will attack tentatively before long.
Chu Jungui was not one to sit still and wait for death. As soon as he returned to the cabin, he began to prepare. A few hours later, he laid seven or eight traps around the cabin before he stopped. Setting traps is naturally a necessary part of basic survival training. In Chu Jungui's hands, it was only slightly improved.
After all the arrangements were completed, he returned to the cabin, turned out the lights and went to sleep. After lying down, he slowly turned over and sat up again, holding the heavy machine gun in his arms, slowly loading the bullet, pointing the muzzle of the gun outside the house through the wooden wall, and began to wait.
Night falls, the temperature begins to drop, and the wind gradually gets stronger. Dark clouds drifted across the sky, blocking the already dim light.
Chu Jungui squinted his eyes to block the faint light in his pupils. Through the gaps in the wall, you can see little green lights shining in the night, slowly approaching.
Chu Jungui calmly waited patiently for his opponent to approach. He was very aware of the performance of the heavy machine gun in his hand. After all, there was a lack of professional tools during the manufacturing process and the quality of the materials was not up to par. Therefore, it was extremely powerful and poor in accuracy. Besides, he has limited bullets. Each bullet is made by himself bit by bit and cannot be wasted.
The green dot gradually approached, and the muzzle of Chu Jungui's gun also touched the wooden wall.
In the night, a black shadow suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the wooden house. Its long claws were so fast that it was almost invisible, and it swept towards the wooden house!
Everything! Almost at the same moment, a dull gunshot sounded, the wooden wall exploded, long flames spurted out, and the black shadow suddenly bounced back as if it had been hit by an invisible sledgehammer.
The black shadow fell to the ground and actually turned over and climbed up, hunched over and staring at the wooden house.
"Can you still move?" Chu Jungui clicked his tongue in surprise. He was shot three times at such a close range. Not only was he not dead, but he seemed to want to fight back. These guys were indeed strong enough.
However, the reason why the heavy machine gun is the king of the battlefield is because it never intends to solve the problem with three bullets.
Three-round burst fire is something that only assault rifles would treasure.
With a bang, Chu Jungui stepped on the broken wooden wall and rushed into the night. The heavy machine gun kept spitting out fire dragons and swept at the black shadows rushing around.
The two black figures in front were instantly blown away, while the third one was already in front of Chu Jungui!
With the muzzle flash, he could finally see what creature he was attacking. They are humanoid creatures that walk upright, with long limbs and sharp claws, but insect-shaped heads. The head that swooped over at this moment had its mouthparts wide open and green-yellow saliva constantly flowing out. It was extremely terrifying, and a strong sour odor could be smelled from a few meters away. If he bites it off in one bite, he may be able to bite off half of Chu Jungui's head.
Facing the attacking insect man, Chu Jungui showed no fear. He turned the heavy machine gun, the muzzle of the gun almost touched the insect man's chest, and then he pulled the trigger hard!
The blazing warheads, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, all blasted into the Insect Man's chest. At such a close distance, even the muzzle flame could burn the Insect Man, but it was not knocked upside down. The first few bullets did not penetrate its body, and all the warheads stopped inside.
Chu Jungui gritted his teeth, his heart was ruthless, and he pressed the trigger tightly!
Heavy machine guns never rely on burst fire!
More bullets blasted into its chest, and the hot metal jet tore apart its body in an instant, and finally shot out from the back. The insect man's body was directly cut into two pieces by the ferocious firepower, and his upper body flew backwards and fell to the ground with a snap.
Chu Jungui was excited to kill. He spat on the ground with a sigh and looked around proudly.
These insect men still want to fight in close quarters, but they really have no brains. Didn't you see that he has a heavy machine gun in his hand?
He is a man who has mastered the art of close combat firearms combat 0.1a. The heavy machine gun in his hand is an out-and-out melee weapon.
The rest of the bugmen finally felt fear and turned around and ran away.
Chu Jungui looked at the direction they were running in, but didn't chase them, just sneered.
The bodies of the two insect men suddenly sank, they stepped into the trap, and immediately screamed loudly. They jumped up as if they were electrocuted, leaping tens of meters. When they landed, their feet weakened and they fell down. They got up again in the blink of an eye, rolling and crawling away, whining all the way.
The skin of their originally powerful long legs had turned from dark yellow-green to burnt black, and smoke was still coming out. They appeared to be in agony when they touched the ground, and they fell down several times.
Chu Jungui was not surprised. No matter how powerful these insect-men were, as long as they were still living creatures, they could not be indifferent to the 98% pure sulfuric acid in the pit.
He doesn't have much else these days, but there is too much sulfuric acid to hold.
There were also a few lucky bug-men who managed to escape without stepping on the trap. Chu Jungui didn't take it seriously. After this lesson, he thought they wouldn't come again in a short time. Even if they still dare to come, what awaits them will no longer be these simple and passive trampling traps in front of them.
Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, Chu Jungui began to search through the memory data while cleaning up the battlefield to see if there was any information such as advanced trap layout version 2.0 that he could learn from.
Although no trap information was found, Chu Jungui had a good idea of their characteristics after fighting against the insect men. It seems that the surrounding area is their hunting ground. After killing these insect people, there will be nothing for Chu Jungui to worry about.
Except for ammunition.
It took him another whole day to print out a hundred rounds of bullets. At this time, he could set off with a heavy machine gun and prepare to occupy the valley.
The small lake in the valley is the only water source nearby and must be occupied.
Chu Jungui didn't know that at this moment, a transport spacecraft was entering the orbit of the planet and beginning to land on the surface of the planet.
In the cabin of the spaceship, a burly man in military uniform faced hundreds of fully armed soldiers, both male and female, and said in a deep voice: "The target area for this operation is a valley with a small lake in the center. After a while, the airdrop will , you will no longer be friends and comrades-in-arms. Remember, everyone you meet on the battlefield is an enemy! In this battle, there will only be one winner in the end!"
