This Game Is Too Realistic Chapter 44: Businessmen from neighboring cities
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters of this game is too real!
"I should have thought of it earlier!"
"The richest resource in Linghu is not just the fish in the lake, but the rich nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the lake shoreline! We are almost there, right in front!"
Talking the mosquitoes towards the lake, Guangfeng talked excitedly along the way.
The two stopped at a shallow beach by the lake.
The vegetation here is lush and easy to hide. It is an excellent water point for both humans and animals.
As soon as Guangfeng stretched out his hand to point, Mosquito stepped forward before him, walked to a relatively flat rock and squatted down.
I saw him stretching out his index finger and lightly wiping it on the stone wall, then he came closer to smell it and tried to take a lick.
Bang Feng couldn't care less about the eyesore and asked quickly.
"How is it?"
The mosquito spit on the ground, his face half happy and half sad.
"Bah, why the **** is there something fresh..."
Wind: "..."
Although I accidentally tasted fresh guano, one thing is certain, there are indeed a large number of struvite stones here.
The main component of this ore is Mg(NH4)[PO4]·6H2O, with an orthorhombic crystal structure. It is not difficult to see just by looking at the chemical composition how versatile this thing is.
More than that, when a certain amount of struvite is formed, the ammonia component in it will gradually be oxidized into nitric acid under the action of nitrifying bacteria, and eventually accumulate in the form of potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, etc. Below the soil, what is called nitrate soil forms.
This kind of "associated mineral" nitrate only needs to be produced through simple methods, such as mixing and boiling plant ash without filtering out the potassium-alkali water, and precipitating the calcium ions and magnesium ions in it, and it can be produced with a small amount of Impurities in saltpeter!
To put it simply, if you find bird droppings, you basically have mastered saltpeter.
Having saltpeter is basically equivalent to having gunpowder!
In fact, it is not just guano. There is a large amount of heterogeneous excrement distributed on the shore of Linghu Lake. Over time, these excrements gradually weathered, deposited and hardened, and finally formed **** stone mines.
As for why there are so many bezoars by the lake, it is actually easy to understand.
In the early years when this planet entered the Wasteland Era, it experienced a period of severe cold that lasted for nearly half a century.
During that period, Linghu Wetland Park, as the area with the richest water resources in this area, was home to a large number of wild animals and livestock that had escaped from pastures.
These feces should be left behind at that time.
It was not until the severe cold period ended and a more lush ecosystem formed in the deserted urban area that the place gradually became deserted.
"With all this nitrate, it's not a big problem to get the black powder out!" Standing up from the ground, Mosquito looked at the storm excitedly, "Help me, let's get more."
Bang Feng asked doubtfully.
"There is saltpeter and charcoal, but I remember that the black powder recipe also contains sulfur? Where are you going to find sulfur?"
If he remembered correctly, things like sulfur usually appear near volcanic craters or hot springs.
However, this area clearly does not look like there are these two things.
The mosquito was stunned for a moment.
Obviously he hasn't had time to consider this issue yet.
"Well, if there is no sulfur, sulfate can actually be used, but the process is a little more troublesome... It should be easy to find, right?"
Bang Feng glanced around and shrugged helplessly.
"Anyway, let's look for it first."
……
Unfortunately, there was no sulfur in the forest, and nothing suspicious of sulfur was seen near the lake.
Think about it too.
How could this thing appear in the Wetland Park?
Luckily, just when the two were about to give up, they found some gypsum mines beside a small river extending out of Linghu Lake.
The component of this thing is calcium sulfate. When burned together with carbon at high temperatures, calcium sulfide and carbon dioxide can be generated. This is exactly the sulfate mineral they are looking for!
"How could I forget this!" Mosquito slapped himself on the back of the head in annoyance, "I saw Lao Bai and his friends burning cement two days ago, and they seemed to have mixed this kind of gypsum powder into it! This thing Isn’t it **** calcium sulfate?”
Bang Feng said with a wry smile.
"Is this what is called darkness under the lamp?"
"Anyway, the result is good," he picked up some gypsum ore and put it into a plastic bucket. Mosquito washed his hands, stood up and looked at the strong wind and said, "Let's go, the materials are done, let's go back."
Bangfeng nodded and followed him.
The two returned to the survivor settlement together, and were about to walk towards the cabin when they discovered a commotion in front of the settlement.
I saw players who were working on the construction site, and they had come down from the scaffolding at some point. They were all carrying tools in their hands and surrounded a cow with two heads.
A strange man stood next to the two-headed cow.
He was wearing a leather jacket, with a flattering smile on his face, making strange gestures, and mumbling something incomprehensible.
The mosquito looked curious and stopped.
"Who is that person? The new NPC?"
I didn’t hear that there will be an update today.
"I don't know, I'll ask..."
Bangfeng is a man of action. He put down the plastic bucket in his hand and strode towards the scrambled egg brother who was standing in front of the bacon rack watching the excitement. He pulled him and asked curiously.
"What happened there? Who is that person?"
Brother Scrambled Egg crossed his arms and shook his head.
“I don’t know the specifics. I heard from other people that it seemed that our people met this guy on the way back from transporting stones at the construction site. Then this guy didn’t say anything and just followed behind us. People are here."
Bangfeng approached and heard the players talking.
"Why does this cow have two heads?"
"Domesticated alien species?"
"This man has followed us all the way! I bet he is not a good guy, maybe he is the work of a predator!"
"Not necessarily, what if it's an NPC?"
"It doesn't make sense. If it were really an NPC, wouldn't it be impossible to communicate?"
"Could it be that the condition was not triggered?"
"How about we lock him up first and wait until the manager comes back?"
Feeling the increasingly unkind looks from the people around him, Sun Shiqi felt a lot of pressure surrounded by the crowd.
Although he had a revolver hidden under his leather jacket and the safety had been turned on, even if he had emptied the magazine, it would only have 6 bullets.
The surrounding shelter residents who were getting closer and closer would not give him a chance to fire six shots in a row.
One person has a hammer, and he has to lie down on the ground.
"I say it again, I have no ill intentions. I am a businessman. Businessmen, do you understand? Damn it, no matter how bad it was 200 years ago, there wouldn't even be a business as a profession, right? You guys have been sleeping for too long. Forgot?"
"Okay, calm down, in other words, I want to use these things on the back of the cow to exchange with you for something that you don't lack and I just need...anything is fine! Of course, if you don't want to exchange It doesn’t matter, I’ll leave now and I promise not to disturb you again!”
Seeing that there was no way to communicate at all, Sun Shiqi had already begun to think about quitting.
However, these shelter residents had no intention of getting out of the way. Instead, they got closer and closer, and even took out ropes.
Sun Shiqi was desperate.
Just when he was thinking about whether to fight to the death, the blue coats surrounding him suddenly gave way.
I saw a man walking towards this side with the body of a mutated reindeer on his shoulders.
The mutated reindeer weighed at least over a hundred kilograms and was almost as big as a horse. However, the man acted as if nothing was wrong, carrying the prey that could cover him and walking as usual.
Although he was wearing a harmless blue coat, Sun Shiqi still smelled an extremely dangerous aura from him.
This guy...
Definitely not an ordinary shelter dweller!
The man threw the prey heavily to the ground, said a few words to his companions, and then they dispersed obediently.
Looking at the man walking towards him, Sun Shiqi felt nervous and his nerves were tense.
For a moment, a thought flashed through his mind. If he could hold the person in front of him hostage, he might be able to leave here smoothly.
However, his intuition told him that if he really did this, he would die the moment he did it...
"Who are you?" Chu Guang looked at him and asked.
When Sun Shiqi heard the man talking to him, he was slightly startled, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.
"Can you speak? No, I don't mean that, I mean do you know the language here?"
The language here naturally refers to Renlianyu.
Before the war, this area belonged to the territory of the People's Federation, and naturally the same language was used. It stands to reason that the residents of the shelter also use Renlian, but I don't know why these people are a little different.
Chu Guang frowned slightly, looked at him and continued.
"Now I am asking you something."
"Answer me, who are you?"
Having heard the unkindness in that tone, Sun Shiqi quickly explained.
"My surname is Sun, and my name is Sun Shiqi. I come from Honghe Town next door! I am a businessman!"
Honghe Town?
Hearing this unfamiliar place name, Chu Guang's eyebrows raised slightly.
He only knows that this is Qingquan City, a valley province located in the hinterland of the People's Alliance. As for what other cities there are in the River Valley Province, he is not very clear.
"What are you doing in Qingquan City?"
Sun Shiqi said cautiously.
"I'm a businessman...of course I'm here to do business."
Chu Guang’s expression remained unchanged.
"Businessman? Then why did I hear from my companions that you followed them?"
"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding!"
Sun Shiqi waved his hands and explained in a dumbfounded way.
"I was originally planning to go to Boulder City. I happened to see them wearing blue coats on the way. I thought there was a shelter nearby, so I thought about exchanging some things with you... I'm just a businessman, really. No offense intended!"
He didn't expect these people to be so sensitive.
If it were an ordinary survivor gathering place, he would definitely not dare to approach it alone, but if it were a shelter, it would be different.
These little cuties in blue coats are notoriously silly and sweet in the wasteland. They are both easy to bully and easy to deceive.
They are usually the elites of pre-war society, or the descendants of elites. They often claim to be descendants of civilization, and are arrogant and arrogant.
He thought at that time that he would just follow him. At worst, he would be dismissed as a beggar and there would be no loss.
Who would have thought that after these people brought him in, they surrounded him without saying a word, did not listen to what he said, and had no intention of leaving.
There is simply no martial ethics!
The expression on his face did not relax because of this guy's explanation. Chu Guang still looked at him expressionlessly and continued.
"Whether you meant it to offend or not, you have indeed done something to offend us. I believe that stalking is not a friendly act anywhere in this wasteland, are you right?"
Sun Shiqi was sweating profusely and nodded bravely.
"...You are right."
"Very good, it seems that you have realized your mistake," Chu Guang nodded, "But don't worry, we are reasonable people, I have just convinced my companions and told them that you are willing I apologize for my offensive behavior."
Sun Shiqi nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, I do!"
Hearing this, Chu Guang finally had a smile on his face.
"That's okay. By the way, you don't suggest that we choose it ourselves?"
Sun Shiqi was stunned for a moment and looked at the man in front of him in confusion.
"Wait, what do you mean, pick your own?"
Chu Guang said matter-of-factly.
"You can't apologize empty-handed, right? How else would you apologize? We won't blackmail you, at most we will pick something off the back of your bull."
Speaking of this, the smile that appeared on Chu Guang's face gradually collapsed.
"You shouldn't be... reluctant to let go, right?"
Sun Shiqi looked uglier than crying, but he still nodded his head.
"No! Everything is in this car...you choose."
These bandits!
What about the reserve and pride of being a civilized person?
He actually robbed a ragged wastelander!
This is like a wealthy man robbing a beggar begging on the roadside. Wouldn’t these people feel ashamed for their actions?
Shocking!
Sun Shiqi was scolding in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, not daring to show any negative emotions.
He has gradually begun to realize that this shelter seems to be fundamentally different from the shelters he has encountered before.
As for Chu Guang, he didn't care what the businessman was thinking.
Because that's not important.
Seeing how sensible this guy was, a happy smile appeared on his face again.
"Then I'm welcome."
