Facing such a dinner, Lin Xi only felt like vomiting.
She pushed it back calmly and said, "I'm not hungry."
"Not hungry?" Chu Jungui looked at Lin Xi in astonishment. After several fierce battles in a row, even the test subjects were hungry. Lin Xi was not a god, so how could he not be hungry?
"I'm not hungry. You eat first!" Lin Xi looked calm.
Chu Jungui thought for a while, stopped being polite, opened the feeding port of the breastplate, and prepared to stuff the roasted protein into it. The survival armor has a basic feeding auxiliary function and can mix filled food and water for the user to suck. This allows you to eat without taking off your helmet in some extreme environments.
"Wait!" Lin Xi grabbed Chu Jungui. "Isn't this thing poisonous?"
Chu Jungui looked at the data of the organic matter separator and said, "It is somewhat toxic, but there is no significant effect. It can be eaten."
Lin Xi let go and watched Chu Jungui load the roasted protein into the armor, then a straw protruded from the helmet, and Chu Jungui took several sips.
"How does it taste?" Lin Xi asked cautiously.
“The taste of protein.”
Lin Xi felt like vomiting again.
Fortunately, Chu Jungui finally remembered that she should eat. He took the organic matter stick that came with the survival bag, folded it in half, and handed it to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi hesitated before loading the organic rod into his armor. This stuff is extremely high in calories. It tastes sour and sweet after being mixed with water, and it also has a cheap fruity flavor. Lin Xi is hungry now, and even the industrial-style fruity flavor feels good.
It’s better than pure protein anyway.
At this time, the organic matter separator had finished processing the second pot of exotic animal meat. In addition to protein, Chu Jun returned a small piece of pure fat. Of course, the most common thing is mortar of unknown composition.
Chu Jungui used wooden boards to nail square buckets, poured the mortar into them and stored them. Then he weighed his fist-sized piece of fat and asked Lin Xi, "Dinner?"
"No, I'm going to chop wood." Lin Xi turned around and left.
Chu Jungui always felt that Lin Xi was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Lin Xi refused to eat, but he needed calories. The auxiliary power of the armor was halved, which was the time to consume physical strength.
Chu Jungui originally wanted to fill the fat pieces directly into the armor, but after thinking about it, he decided to bake them over fire first until the surface was charred. Eating cooked food is one of the signs of human civilization. Although Chu Jungui's stomach doesn't mind whether it is raw or cooked, or even whether it is organic or not, life still needs a sense of ritual.
A small piece of fat has far fewer calories than an equivalent volume of organic matter bar. However, it seemed that Lin Xi could only eat this, so Chu Jungui carefully put away the half-remaining organic stick, left it for her, and then continued working.
Portable refining furnaces are still refining base metals, furnace after furnace. The planet doesn't seem to have a lot of iron. As soon as the refining furnace is turned on, most equipment will stop working or work at low power. So what Chu Jungui is planning to build now is the base version of the refining furnace.
After working for about half an hour, Chu Jungui built half of the base version of the refining furnace. He saw Lin Xi rolling four logs back in one go, dragging bundles of giant leaves behind him.
Back at the base, Lin Xi drank a few sips of water. She was really exhausted. After a short rest, she pointed to the wood on the ground and said, "Is it enough to build a house?"
"If it's not enough, build fortifications first." Chu Jungui shook his head.
Lin Xi sighed and did not object. At this time, a clear beep sounded from the workbench. Chu Jungui walked over and opened the lid, took out a newly made sword and arm shield, looked at them, and threw them to Lin Xi: "This is for you."
The new war knife has a thick blade with sharp spines on the tip and sharp inverted serrations on the edge. This knife was specially designed by Chu Jungui to deal with strange beasts. It focused on strengthening the ability to stab and destroy a large area of the body. Alien beasts have rough skin and thick flesh, and their bones in particular are extremely hard. Only this multi-vertebral sword can penetrate their bone plates.
Chu Jungui now has a better understanding of the body structure of alien beasts. Except for their strongest skulls, their ribs have evolved into bone plates that are intertwined with each other. They do not affect the flexibility of movement, but can protect the internal organs in all directions, just like the skin. There is an extra layer of built-in armor.
To really damage them, you have to penetrate this layer of bone.
The arm shield is also thickened and divided into two layers: the inner and outer layers. The outer layer can be peeled off. At the same time, the outer layer also has a thorn with inverted serrations. It can be used for defense and can also be used to break the bone plates of alien beasts.
While Lin Xi was getting used to the new equipment, Chu Jungui drilled several more holes behind the wooden thorn trap arranged by Lin Xi. Each four holes formed a 1.5-meter slender square.
He drove stakes into the holes and poured mortar into the gaps. The mortar slowly solidified, holding the pile and rock firmly together.
Chu Jungui then put up horizontal bars among the four wooden piles, and laid them on top of the waste bricks burned in the refining furnace one by one. In the blink of an eye, the parapet fortification, half a meter long and 1.2 meters high, took shape. However, Chu Jungui was still not satisfied with the defense. He picked up the tool ax and chopped off the rib plates of the alien corpse. He laid another layer of bone plates on the waste bricks to increase the defense. Finally, he used mortar to fix and strengthen the fortification. finished.
Chu Jungui took the survival rifle and shot at the fortification at close range.
After the roar, it can be seen that the warhead is embedded in the solidified mortar. It has penetrated the mortar layer, but it has stayed at the bone plate and has not yet reached the waste brick. The defensive power of this layer of fortifications seems to be able to withstand large-caliber electromagnetic sniper rifles.
However, the number of waste bricks is limited, and the production capacity is even more limited. The portable refining furnace can only produce one brick at a time. Just to build such a single soldier bunker, all the waste bricks during this period were used up.
Fortunately, the strength and toughness of the hardened mortar are unexpectedly good. Combined with the bone fragments, it can build a good defense, and the output of the two far exceeds that of waste bricks.
Chu Jungui built several more bunkers behind the bunker, this time using wooden piles as supports and composite materials made of bone fragments and mortar as defense. Several bunkers were built around the cockpit, basically covering three directions, except for the direction of the alien beast that never appeared.
A bunker consumes the bone fragments of two alien beasts, while the amount of mortar is much less, only half an alien beast is enough.
Lin Xi also had a new idea. She cut some of the thin bones of the alien beasts into spikes and embedded them in the wooden spike trap, which significantly increased the lethality. Now that the portable refining machine is running non-stop and there is a stable supply of metal materials, she moved dozens of kilograms of basic metals to make alloy wire mesh, and then laid another alloy wire mesh in the middle of the wood thorn trap.
Still feeling unsatisfied, she took out many bone fragments of alien beasts, ground them into saw teeth, and embedded them in the alloy wire mesh. In this way, the cutting power of the trap is greatly increased, and if a strange beast hits it, it will be bloody and bloody.
After a few hours passed, a semicircular defense zone consisting of wooden thorns, alloy wire mesh and bunkers was initially formed around the base.
