Since the death wave started, time in the wasteland seems to have been accelerated by an invisible hand. If you don't pay attention, the years will fly by in a blink of an eye.
"Boss Ji, good morning!"
Seeing Somo coming out of the stone house, several villagers standing at the door quickly came up to say hello.
Lao Zhang took great pains to arrange for some people to stay at the door, waiting to respond to his request at any time.
When something happened to me, I ran back and forth for fear of delaying the normal operation of the village.
If an uninformed person saw this, they would think that he was the lord of the boulder territory.
"You guys are busy with your business. I don't have anything to do today. I'll go take a look around the village."
Sumo smiled and said.
"Then you're busy, just call us if you need anything." 'Qian Wei', who led the special operations team, responded quickly. He was the first person to join the Boulder Territory and was very aware of the role Sumo played in the development of the territory.
Therefore, the attitude is more respectful than others.
The weather was sunny and cloudless.
Since the end of a week of rain, the weather in the southern plate has been sunny for nearly a week.
During this period, construction foam was used almost non-stop, and the effects were successfully tested in many places.
For example, the narrow path from Tianzhai to Dizhai has been widened and evenly covered with construction foam.
Walking on the steps that were large enough for seven people to walk abreast, Somo stopped from time to time and squatted on the ground to check the hardness with tools.
The results were extremely gratifying.
As long as the exposure time required for the 'reconstruction' type of special foam can be met, its hardness will indeed be much higher than the level 4 ordinary rocks that ordinary people can see every day, and it can basically reach the quartzite level, which is hardness level 7.
And this is just the hardness, the elasticity and compressive resistance of construction foam can surpass any rock.
Even in special extreme scenarios, safety performance can be ensured to the greatest extent.
"It's very good. If it weren't for the sun exposure restrictions, I'm afraid the lords of the Golden Eagle would go crazy after seeing it." Sumo nodded with satisfaction.
Use construction foam to connect the three villages and build the roads, making future development easier.
After walking up more than one kilometer of steps, we arrived at Dizhai.
Compared with the infrastructure in Tianzhai, which is already somewhat impressive, Dizhai is still a bit bulky, with only a dozen stone houses made of construction foam, and some prototype houses with wooden frames that have just been built.
Buzz.
Three workers were responsible for spraying, two were responsible for cleaning the conveyor belt, and the other was holding a tool like a fire sprinkler and spraying on the place where the wooden frame was set up.
Once the black foam was spit out, it immediately adhered to the wooden frame.
After one wall was sprayed, seven workers came forward with scrapers and evenly spread the unsolidified foam over every part of the wooden frame to prevent uneven walls of the stone house.
It can be seen that the work is very easy, and the ten people all have "innocent" smiles on their faces while working.
It feels like a kid going to the beach to play in the sand.
"Hey, Boss Ji, why are you here?"
Sumo stood nearby and watched for half an hour, during which time the workers sprayed all four walls from scratch.
Just when a group of people were pulling in scaffolding and preparing to spray paint the roof, they turned their heads and saw Somo.
"Are you tired of doing this?"
"Why are you tired? This work is just like playing. You won't feel tired even if you work for a whole day!" The foreman who spoke quickly replied with a smile.
"I promise I'm not lying. Compared with building a stone house manually, this is not tiring at all!"
"Let me try?"
Su Mo rubbed his hands and simply took the nozzle from the foreman's hand to experience it himself.
Press the button and the built-in motor of the foam gun will automatically activate the force to extract the construction foam from the rear storage tank.
Wait until the indicator light turns green, aim at the area to be sprayed and press the button again, the foam will spray out.
Thanks to the powerful attribute gains brought by the route, and Soma's concentration far beyond ordinary people.
The roof usually took half an hour to be sprayed, but he sprayed it non-stop, and it only took about five minutes.
Moreover, when the foreman sprays, he often sprays more in a certain place and less in a certain place, so that the workers need to use a scraper to smooth it out.
The one sprayed with Somo doesn't have this problem. It looks extremely smooth, as if it has been scratched.
Of course, it requires some equipment.
After running at full power for five consecutive minutes, the low-quality motor bought from the surrounding areas already gave off a slightly burnt smell, and it felt like it might burn out the coil at any time.
"As expected of Boss Ji, we can't learn this technique of yours!"
A group of people stood next to the stone house, marveling at the neat roof, feeling envy and admiration.
With this kind of technique and control, you can make a living in any territory you go to.
"You can do some research. I feel that it is not convenient to use a wooden frame as a frame. If it hangs, it requires people to scrape it off all the time. It will also take a lot of effort to dismantle the wooden frame later."
Sumo was thoughtful, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind:
"You said that it would be more convenient to replace the wooden frame with an empty wooden box, inject foam into it, and then dismantle the outer box after reaching the initial condensation standard? The removed box can be reassembled and reused again and again.
."
"Replace the wooden frame with a wooden box?"
The foreman frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "It should be possible. If it is replaced by a wooden box, the box will be comfortable and we won't need to scrape it flat. This will definitely save a lot of time!"
"You can try it and see the results."
In fact, it is still a bit inconvenient to use wooden boxes as restraints. Dismantling the boxes still requires people to participate. It would be great if shaped foam could be output directly.
Sumo thought this way and thought of the game 'Minecraft'.
In fact, not only Minecraft, but other games with construction functions basically have the function of building blueprints.
As long as the player can provide enough materials, the finished product already in the blueprint can be directly output.
Can the foam gun be improved to directly and fully automatically output buildings of corresponding shapes according to the user's wishes?
hiss.
Following this idea, Sumo immediately grasped the upper limit of the construction bubble.
If we can continue to develop along this route, the architectural pattern of human society will definitely undergo huge changes in the future.
At that time, everyone only needs to buy a foam gun, and everyone will be qualified to build buildings from scratch in the wild.
If we expand it further, wouldn't defensive facilities also be within the scope of the building?
When two armies are fighting, if one side can use foam guns to build a large number of military facilities in one night, how can the battle continue?
But ideas are ideas, and Sumo still clearly understands the difficulty.
Theoretically speaking, if you want a modular output foam, you must first improve the reconstruction foam.
This shortcoming cannot be fixed until the exposure to sunlight is removed, and the gun body can be further studied.
In addition, Blue Star has been developing construction foam for a long time, and they have not been able to come up with modular foam, which shows the difficulty.
"Write down this idea first, and then spend some money to improve it when the opportunity comes."
After leaving the village, Sumo continued walking along the mountain road towards the last human village.
It's almost nine o'clock.
Compared with the first two villages, the human village is more deserted. It is basically a place where the boulder territory is used to store supplies.
A lot of worthless things that take up space are piled here, making it look messy.
However, there are many more villagers here than in Dizhai. As soon as Somo came over, he saw forty or fifty people gathered in front of a small temple in the center of the platform of Dizhai.
The small temple is only about ten square meters, excluding the space for worshiping the statues, and can only accommodate four people at a time.
In the temple, naturally, there is enshrined the primary prayer statue that Soma received as an extra reward from the system after he accumulated enough special survival points.
Since the primary prayer statue does not have any powerful special abilities, it can only record simple wishes and cannot help realize them.
From the beginning, Sumo did not plan to set up the statue in Tianzhai to disturb the normal life of the villagers. Instead, he asked Lao Zhang to build a small temple in the village where no one paid attention, and first prepared a small-scale test to test the effect.
I didn’t expect that even if it was hidden in a village where no one had passed by, the small temple would still be discovered by the villagers so quickly, and even gathered a large number of people.
"It seems that the survivors in the wasteland still have a strong demand for faith."
Soma is not surprised.
A careful look at past history shows that the development of faith often originated in the prosperous times and flourished in the last days.
Human beings need a spiritual sustenance, and there will naturally be room for faith to survive.
The villagers currently worshiping at this small temple early in the morning should be a small group.
Soma stood in the shadow without disturbing him until everyone left and then came out.
The temple has no name, but the gods have names.
This small temporary temple did not have a plaque, but the deity inside was randomly named by Soma.
Giant mountain god.
"Well, why does this name sound so weird now?" Sumo muttered silently and twitched the corner of his mouth. This was exactly the name he casually said based on the fusion of the Giant Stone Territory and the Giant Mountain Star Territory.
As a result, a group of villagers did not pay any attention to it, they just paid homage to him and that was it.
Enter the temple.
In front of the table where the statue of the god is enshrined, there are some wild fruits picked from unknown sources and three dried salted fish.
There was no incense, but the group of people just made a homemade core fire made from straw ropes. It smelled really good, with a strong herbal aroma.
In front of the altar table, there is a futon made of straw rope.
Just now, Somo saw that everyone would kneel here and mutter something after entering the temple, not knowing what they were saying.
"Check the status." Somo walked around to the altar table and placed his hand slightly on the back of the statue's head.
Buzz.
An invisible fluctuation flashed through, and the system panel automatically opened, showing a new function panel.
[Jushan Statue (Elementary Prayer Statue)]
【Number of people who have visited】:497
【Recorded wishes】:215
[Current energy storage value]: 14.77% (the energy storage value can only be used to upgrade the statue and cannot be withdrawn for use)
"Nearly half of the wishes have been recorded?"
Stability, wealth, career.
Sumo had never expected that two hundred items could be recorded in three simple categories.
In addition, the idol actually has energy storage value? Can it be used for upgrades?
Sumo remembered clearly that there was no such reminder when appraising the idols before, and there was only a recycling price.
"It seems that it was right not to recycle it at that time. If the statue could be upgraded, its value would be hard to say."
Soma nodded slightly.
It cannot be used until the energy storage value is full, but at this rate it should be fully accumulated in less than two months.
Upgrading the statue at that time may bring some additional surprises.
"Check your wish."
This was the only item that was on in the function panel, so Sumo clicked on it without thinking.
The panel expands and records appear one by one.
Su Mo glanced around and unexpectedly saw 'Qian Wei' who was guarding his door just now.
What I want is a career.
Sumo tried to click on it, but to his surprise, what was provided was not the details of his wish, but a video clip.
From the recording perspective, it should be the eyes of the statue.
Qian Wei knelt respectfully on the futon in front of the altar table with a solemn expression.
It was very strange that he didn't make a sound, he probably just prayed in his heart, but Soma heard him talking.
"The giant mountain god bless me, and I wish that there will be no problems in the work arranged by Lord Zhang. I have finally followed Boss Ji, and I must seize this opportunity!"
It’s a very simple wish, and it’s no problem if it’s included in pursuing a career.
After hearing this, Su Mo couldn't help but smile.
It is indeed an object produced by the system. It is also very useful for judging whether it is a spy.
People who can read minds and have ulterior motives can easily be screened out.
However, just when Sumo was about to withdraw from Qian Wei's wish and listen to other people's wishes.
Suddenly, a reminder popped up in front of me.
As soon as he looked at it, Sumo's eyes widened and an incredible expression appeared on his face.
"Damn it, is this okay?"
The giant dragon Xianjiang outside the Golden Eagle level.
Inside a large ship floating on the water.
Guo Buloh frowned and stood in front of the divine power fluctuation detector, constantly adjusting various parameters.
From time to time, a beeping sound comes from the headset, indicating that new fluctuations have been detected.
But the strange thing is that Guo Buluo is not interested in these ticking sounds, and he often cuts them away as soon as they appear.
"No, no, why didn't yesterday's fluctuation appear?"
Waiting until the time on the watch passed seven-twenty, Guo Buloh still couldn't hear the rushing sound he accidentally heard yesterday.
He put down his headphones, frowned, and walked back and forth in the cabin in deep thought.
Yesterday at eight o'clock, he accidentally detected a special wave nearby. Its reaction was far more violent than any special item detected before, and it almost made him deafened.
However, today, that fluctuation seemed to be short-lived and did not appear.
This does not comply with the fluctuation pattern of special items.
Unless it has been used by someone, each special item will emit waves at a certain time.
"Could it be that the detector gave a false alarm?"
Guo Bulao could only think this way. This was a fact he did not want to admit.
If we can find that wave, it will be of great help to current research.
Going to the territory, he can also apply for more research funds with Musk to carry out facility research and development.
drop.
drop.
The second hand of the mechanical watch moved forward slowly, making a crisp beeping sound.
When it was almost eight o'clock and the strange fluctuation still didn't appear, Guo Bulo gave up completely.
Even if there is a deviation in the fluctuation, the difference will not be an hour.
Now there is either a problem with the detector and a false alarm, or there are loopholes in his guessing method.
"What's the problem?"
Guo Bulo habitually picked up the earphones and planned to adjust to the wave spear used for positioning in the territory.
However, at this moment, a familiar wave appeared again.
Boom.
The earphones exploded, with a wave response that was dozens of times greater than that of a spear, and almost burned out the speaker unit.
"Grass, it's finally here!"
"Set the boat, set the boat, follow this signal and chase after me!"
