Chapter 30 This is too cruel

  Chapter 30 This is too cruel.

  Chu Guang is a principled man, so he will not take advantage of the players’ labor for free.

  Although the shelter is very poor now and contribution points can’t buy anything except “resurrection coins”, he still paid Teng Teng wages.

  50 contribution points for each piece of clothing.

  The requirements are not high, as long as it can be worn and keep warm.

  When the “store system” is online, he plans to mark these clothes according to their quality, ranging from 100 to 500 contribution points, and sell them to other players.

  In this case, we have to find an NPC to be a merchant.

  I heard that the Brown Farm next door sells some serfs with weak legs and feet every winter to save food and fuel, and then buy a batch of cheap goods from slave traders in the spring of next year.

  Maybe I should try my luck there.

  ”Dear administrator, when are we leaving?”

  Looking at Chu Guang coming out of the sanatorium, Jun Lazi shook his lizard tail and walked forward, asking impatiently.

  ”No hurry, I have to find you a weapon that’s right for you… Come with me.”

  Outside the sanatorium’s wall, there is a small wooden house that was built by [WC is really a mosquito] and is currently used as a woodworking workshop.

  The outpost currently lacks tools, especially reliable steel tools, and many things can only be replaced by wood.

  But the solutions are all thought up by people.

  Combining some industrial waste from the wasteland with wood, this player who is proficient in woodworking has really made a lot of post-apocalyptic style tools.

  For example, the crossbow leaning against the wall is one of them.

  The wooden crossbow bed is combined with a simple mechanical structure and hinge made of stainless steel parts. The bowstring is made of mutant hyena tendons and has been specially treated.

  As for the arrowhead, it is a sharpened metal sheet.

  There are not many bullets left in my iron rifle, only about twenty rounds left, so I have to use them sparingly. It is better to use a crossbow for prey that can be killed with a crossbow.

  Seeing the manager pick up the crossbow, Junji thought he was going to give it to him, so he quickly reached out to take it, but was slapped away.

  ”Your weapon is that.”

  Chu Guang pointed to a few javelins with sharpened metal pieces as the gun heads in the corner, and there was a convenient storage strap next to them.

  ”You have 8 points of initial strength. As long as you master the throwing skills, you can kill the prey within ten meters.”

  Trash Jun had a bitter face.

  ”But Mr. Manager, I still think… if I can have a long-range weapon, my hunting efficiency will be higher.”

  Chu Guang glanced at his two-meter-tall figure.

  Is it interesting for such a big guy not to rush to the front as a tank, but to hide behind and snipe?

  Is he still a man!

  ”Javelin is the basic skill of hunting. Whether it is close combat or medium-range encounter, it can prevent you from being passive.”

  ”I will only teach you hunting skills today. As for what kind of weapon you choose to fight in the future, it depends on you.”

  It turned out to be a plot.

  Trash Jun nodded, not quite understanding, and closed his mouth and stopped talking.

  While talking, the player [WC really has mosquitoes] pushed open the door of the wooden house and walked out with two glass bottles.

  Seeing Chu Guang, his eyes lit up and said.

  ”Dear Administrator, I was just looking for you! This is the acetone I mentioned! It can be used as a solvent to make smokeless gunpowder.”

  As he spoke, he shook the bottle in his right hand like an alchemist, which scared Chu Guang and Trash, and they subconsciously took a step back.

  ”It’s okay, hehe, it’s okay as long as it doesn’t encounter open flames, hehehe.”

  As he spoke, Mosquito was excited.

  He only dared to do such things in the game, and he would never dare to do it in his own small workshop.

  But he didn’t expect that this game was so real that he could really make this thing.

  At this time, he suddenly noticed the lizard man next to the administrator, and his excited expression paused.

  ”This is…”

  Chu Guang said with a light cough.

  ”He is a new resident, ID: Garbage Picker Level 99.”

  ”Oh, it’s a newcomer.”

  Mosquito looked at him with envy.

  Starting with a hidden profession.

  This is too cool!

  ”Tell me about what you have in your hand,” Chu Guang glanced at the glass bottle in his hand, “This thing… How did you make it?”

  ”The method is very simple, it’s actually the dry distillation of wood. Put the wood in a sealed metal container and bake it, use a tube to drain it out, and condense it in a supercooled bucket. The collected condensate can be easily divided into a water-like solution and a thick tar-like residue… Simple fractionation method can do it.”

  ”The water-like part is wood acetic acid, which is mainly composed of acetic acid, acetone, and methanol. It can be further fractionated by using their different boiling points. Among them, acetic acid can react with alkali metal compounds to produce salts with various uses, and acetone is the bottle in my right hand… It has an incredible effect.”

  At this point, Mosquito sighed with lingering satisfaction.

  ”Tsk, if only we could get sulfuric acid. With sulfuric acid, we can make hydrogen peroxide, and hydrogen peroxide and acetone can be mixed to make triacetone triperoxide… That is, TATP, commonly known as entropy explosives.”

  Jun Laji was also stunned by what he heard and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva.

  What does this guy do in real life?

  This is too cruel!

  Chu Guang was also shocked by this guy.

  He subconsciously glanced at the cabin in front of him, and he couldn’t associate this thing with a chemical laboratory.

  Only players can do such a fearless thing.

  After calming down, Chu Guang looked at him and continued.

  ”I will pay attention to the chemical plants in the vicinity, so… do you mean that there is no explosives at present?”

  ”I can’t get high-performance ones, but black powder is easy to get. Give me some more time, I’m thinking of other ways, but… sometimes you don’t necessarily have to use explosives to get the killing effect,” Mosquito shook the glass bottle in his left hand, smiled and continued, “This is a mixture of pine oil and acetone, and I also added a little plant fiber in it. I lit the cotton strip at the mouth of the bottle and threw it out, and it can burn for a long time.”

  Molotov cocktail? !

  This thing is a good thing!

  Chu Guang’s eyes lit up, took the glass bottle from him, and weighed it in his hand.

  ”Have you tested its power?”

  ”Uh… there are trees all around, I’m afraid the fire can’t be put out.” Mosquito said awkwardly.

  Not bad.

  It seems that this guy still has some tricks.

  ”I’ll take it outside and help you try it later.”

  Chu Guang put away the glass bottle calmly, watching him continue.

  ”It is still a bit dangerous to do chemical experiments in this environment, and the shelter does not have the conditions to store such dangerous goods for the time being. I will give you the reward you deserve, but I can’t encourage you to expand production.”

  After a pause, Chu Guang changed the subject again.

  ”But… I suggest that you try to make these chemicals useful in the production and construction of the outpost base to create the value we need.”

  ”Create the value we need…” Mosquito looked confused, chewed over this sentence silently, and fell into thought.

  ”Well, you can think about it carefully,” Chu Guang nodded and continued, “Of course, I suggest you talk to other residents of the shelter and ask them if they have any good suggestions.”

  ”Maybe there will be unexpected gains.”

  　Thanks to “Xiao Li” for the reward~~~~~~ If there are any incoherent parts in this chapter, it should be deleted due to review. In short, acetone is made by wood distillation. I don’t know what’s so sensitive about this. It’s all in the high school textbooks, right?
