"Well, standing on one's head, waving your fists and stomping your feet to dig a tunnel, this image feels a bit too funny even if you think about it. Therefore, it is really not a wise decision to dig a tunnel with your fists. Therefore, I should probably find something else.
A way to dig a channel.”
When Zhang Yanhang mentioned this other excavation method, he immediately thought of the almighty alchemy. After all, if this situation here could be solved by alchemy, it would indeed be quite a professional counterpart.
"I had previously estimated that it would take at least several minutes or even more than ten minutes to use alchemy to penetrate the thick walls of the hematite ant nest, which are often hundreds of meters high. But now that I think about it, maybe I underestimated alchemy.
Or maybe my application method is not quite right."
Zhang Yanhang's previous method of penetrating the wall had always been to melt the wall directly and create a tunnel that was large enough for him to pass through normally. But now, he feels that this method is a bit too laborious. In fact, he can completely cooperate with it.
Belt bag for some more convenient digging methods.
For example, Zhang Yanhang can completely melt only the edge and bottom part of the column that needs to be excavated. In this case, as long as the column and the entire wall form a simple separation, he can directly use his belt bag to complete the entire column.
Pretend to leave.
If this method is indeed feasible, melting only the edge part is definitely much more convenient and faster than melting the entire cylinder.
Compared with the method that Zhang Yanhang previously imagined, which was completely melted and reshaped, the new method he envisioned now requires fewer shaping steps, which will greatly reduce the time it takes Zhang Yanhang to dig the channel lock.
Moreover, in addition to saving a lot of time in shaping, the cylinders excavated by Zhang Yanhang using the new method are smaller in size.
Compared with digging a tunnel that is large enough for Zhang Yanhang to walk and pass normally, the column dug by his new method only needs a diameter of one meter in the most extreme case, as long as the entire tunnel can barely pass through.
And just turn around.
The reduction in the excavation diameter means that Zhang Yanhang can use the same time and the same energy value to dig a longer distance, which will definitely save a lot of time for Zhang Yanhang to complete the final tunnel.
After briefly thinking about the preliminary excavation plan, Zhang Yanhang began to carry out specific practices. Although the new method he envisioned seemed quite reliable, it still needed to be verified whether it could really succeed.
Moreover, in addition to verifying whether it can be successful, Zhang Yanhang also needs to test the energy consumption of digging a channel using this method.
If there are a lot of them, then even if the excavation can be successful, overall it will be a failure. After all, energy value is different from Zhang Yanhang's physical value, and recovery is extremely slow.
Once Zhang Yanhang runs out of energy, it will take at least more than four hours to restore it to full. But it is different when digging with fists. If he does not use the death wave skill and the seek good luck and avoid evil skills, Zhang Yanhang can at least do it with all his strength.
It takes a full day of punching before you need to rest.
After all, when Zhang Yanhang hunts monsters, skill consumption always accounts for the majority. Therefore, after removing the skill consumption, it will not be difficult for him to punch continuously all day and night with his strong physical strength.
Zhang Yanhang simply pulled the rubble piled beside him, and then started the alchemy directly.
With the injection of Zhang Yanhang's energy value, the alchemy array quickly penetrated layer by layer, and soon spread to tens of meters away. When the alchemy array reached the designated location, dozens of alchemy arrays along the way began to function simultaneously.
, rapidly melting the edge part of the cylinder and the bottom cross section.
It only took less than a minute for Zhang Yanhang to complete the overall cutting of the column, and successfully separated the contact surface between the column and the original hematite wall, or the hematite vein.
After successfully separating the cylinder, Zhang Yanhang gently touched the surface of the cylinder with his hand. An entire dozens of meters long hematite raw stone pillar disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was successfully put into his pocket by Zhang Yanhang.
"Is it really feasible? If that's the case, then we should consider a formal excavation plan."
As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he got into the mini cave he had just dug. The diameter of this cave is about one meter, and the length is almost fifty meters. In other words, according to the cylinder volume formula, he just
Forty cubic meters of hematite raw stone pillars have been excavated at one time.
This also means that just one raw hematite pillar has occupied forty slots in Zhang Yanhang's pocket.
"If each hematite pillar maintains this volume, then my grid will be filled up if I continue to excavate it for half an hour at most. Therefore, perhaps I should try to reduce the overall volume of the hematite pillar as much as possible first...
…”
When it comes to reducing the size, one cannot make a fuss about the length. Therefore, the only thing Zhang Yanhang could reduce was the diameter of the original hematite pillar. He briefly moved his body in the mini cave, and the overall situation was indeed what he had predicted before.
As expected, you can turn around while hugging your knees and curling up.
"But anyway, there are no monsters along the way, so whether you can turn around doesn't really have much effect. Moreover, when I dig the downward tunnel later, I won't need to turn around, so I'd better turn around.
Let’s reduce the diameter of the stone pillar by a small amount.”
As Zhang Yanhang spoke, he began to use alchemy to simulate related scenes. He used the surrounding raw hematite stones to form a vertical wall around his body and began to shorten the diameter of this small space step by step. Finally, he came up with
The limit diameter is sixty-seven centimeters.
When maintaining this level, Zhang Yanhang can barely sit on the ground, but in terms of comfort, eighty centimeters is more suitable, so that he can stretch his legs reluctantly without maintaining the same posture the whole time.
"If that's the case, then choose 80 centimeters. Although the diameter is only shortened by 20 centimeters, the volume has actually been reduced by a considerable amount."
Zhang Yanhang made a simple calculation based on the cylinder volume formula. The original hematite column with a diameter of one meter and a length of 50 meters had a total volume of about 40 cubic meters, but an original hematite column with a length of 50 meters and a diameter of 80 centimeters had a total volume of about 40 cubic meters.
The total volume is only 25 cubic meters, which means that the total volume has been reduced by more than one-third.
