Today is also a day of hard work!

In the literature, sulfur ore, a natural ore, was called "brimstone" as early as the biblical era. In ancient Egypt and Greece, sulfur was used for medicine and fumigation. Early mining involved miners in volcanic areas, such as Sicily, and until the 20th century, sulfur could also be found on salt domes. Generally, sulfur mines appear either in volcanic areas or in salt dome areas.

"How come this terrain doesn't look like a place where sulfur mines can be produced? Is it true that the resource points are randomly buried, or was there volcanic activity here before the launch?"

Carefully digging the soil on the ground, Liam found bits of sulfur ore like gravel. If you don't look carefully at this thing, or know that there are minerals here, you won't think it's something like sulfur at all, you'll just think it's a small colored stone.

Following the terrain, Liam used his feet to measure the distribution range of the crushed sulfur ore, and found traces of its existence within a range of nearly 100 meters. After walking around, Liam found a small slope with no trees and a slightly higher terrain. He took out the excellent quality shovel and started digging.

"Oh man, this excellent quality shovel can be so much stronger than ordinary quality?"

A burst of streamer flashed on the iron shovel, and it turned out that the first shovel triggered a critical strike, and the resistance of the soil was greatly reduced within 20 seconds. With one shovel down, it was almost like shoveling tofu, and Liam easily shoveled out a shovel of dirt.

Following the removal of the soil, Liam dug a ditch, confirmed that there was crushed sulfur ore inside, and began to dig with confidence.

Digging a hole is also a technical job. If you simply dig down, it is very likely that the surrounding structure will be unstable and collapse, and people will be buried under it. When Liam was a child, he saw someone digging a cellar in his hometown in the countryside, but they didn't dig two meters deep, and the surrounding soil structure collapsed. By the time the neighbors around found out, the man had been crushed under the soil, covering his mouth and nose, and suffocated to death in a small pit less than two meters deep. Therefore, Liam chose the safest step-by-step digging method, sacrificing a little efficiency, but it is safe.

Under the scorching sun, shovel after shovel of soil piled up on one side with Liam's movements. Although it took most of the day to build the iron shovel, Liam felt that it was worth it. The efficiency bonus of the iron shovel is extremely terrifying, especially the critical strike is unreasonable, and the time can be superimposed infinitely. It means that as long as you can keep digging, you can always trigger this effect. For those who don't have mechanical tools to dig, having this shovel can completely act as half an excavator.

"There is no hydrogen sulfide gas gushing out from the ground, how did the sulfur mine form?"

After digging about one meter deep, the shovel gradually encountered resistance, and the1 clanging sound came with the shovel head touching the ground.

Squatting down, Liam wiped the surface of the soil with his hand, and immediately found the yellow sulfur ore. There are tiny pores on the surface of the sulfur ore, which means that sulfur gas is escaping.

Putting the shovel back into the storage space, Liam took out the excellent quality iron pickaxe.

[Iron Pickaxe (Excellent)]

Description: An iron shovel made by the conscientious craftsman "Liam". The materials are solid and the workmanship is rough, but for some reason, it has been upgraded to excellent quality.

Special effect: 1. Sharpness +1

There is a small probability of a critical strike when mining ore (the ore with strength lower than 5 will disintegrate)

Evaluation: Unfortunately it's not the enviable golden pickaxe!

Taking out the mineral water bottle filled with M-energy water, after taking two sips to recover his strength, Liam picked up the iron pick and hit the yellow ore on the ground hard.

A burst of refreshing sound rang out. The hard yellow sulfur ore on the ground immediately disintegrated into scattered small ores.

Lowering his head, Liam silently recited the storage space to absorb, and the ore slag on the ground was immediately collected into the storage space.

"Oh, this efficiency is really high enough. It seems that2 mining for an hour should be enough for me to use for a long time!"

Looking at the number of sulfur gravels that were put in, Liam had a draft in his mind. Triggering the disintegration special effect, a critical strike can yield about 20kg of sulfur ore. Without a large amount of hot weapon ammunition or gunpowder demand, basically digging about half a ton is enough.

Ding dong ding dong, the rising sun in the east slowly descends westward with time.

Every five minutes of digging, Liam had to raise his head and climb out of the pit to check if there were any signs of mutant creatures around.

Gradually, the sun finally set. A ray of sunset glow fell, and it fell on the vast land, reflecting a sulfur color on the land.

"Okay, that's enough digging. I'll dig again when I run out. There's no place to put too much of this stuff."

Raising his head, Liam looked at the sky and stopped working.

At this time, in the two cubic meters of storage space, the extra space was almost filled with sulfur ore. According to the purification efficiency, there would be no shortage of sulfur for a long time.

Climbing out of the pit and patting the soil on the raincoat, Liam began to fill the dug out soil back. Sulfur without roots will escape, and soil burial can also increase the preservation time of sulfur ore. The small high slope that was originally excavated became flat after being covered.

After making a mark, Liam turned and returned to the shelter. Compared with the heat outside, the shelter is more like a cool cellar after sinking. As soon as you enter the entrance tunnel, most of the heat is blocked, and the temperature rises again until you enter the shelter.

"When will the days when I can't take a shower end!"

Standing in the weapon and equipment room, taking off his raincoat, and looking at the yellowed vest that had been suffocated, Liam looked sad. He was still reluctant to use M-energy water to wash clothes. Even though he has already hoarded about 20L of M-energy water, Liam usually only dared to wipe his face with a rag dipped in a little water in the morning.

"What the hell, billions of people on Earth were dropped at one time in this world, and none of them could be dropped near the water source."

"Only when the snowstorm comes, can we store a large amount of ordinary water."

Smacking his lips, after drinking the rest of the M-energy water in the mineral water bottle, the burning sensation in his throat subsided a lot.

A strange world of survival. This is a fact that everyone has discovered these days. These mutant creatures seem to have descended from the sky like humans. Because there is no water source, a large number of creatures have begun to die of thirst in the wild. Except for a few animals that3 can drink acid rain to survive, most mutant creatures can only kill each other and survive by blood. No freshwater source was found. The world seems to have deleted the setting of having a water source, or to put it bluntly, there is no option to add a water source.4 If humans want water, apart from opening treasure chests, they can only find ways to rely on some scientific methods, such as:

Putting a plastic bag on a young branch with dense leaves, the transpiration of the leaves will produce condensed water.

Or dig a small pit in the relatively humid ground, put a water collector in the center of the bottom of the pit, and hang a plastic film that is pulled into an arc on the pit surface. Light energy can increase the temperature of the moist soil and air in the pit, and evaporation will produce water vapor. When the water vapor comes into contact with the plastic film, it will condense into water droplets when it is cold, and slide down into the container.

Both of these methods can barely get enough water to sustain life. The collection method has also been gradually popularized through the sharing of most people. Just because of the shipping cost, even if someone has extra water in their hands, they can't trade it out.

"I don't know why, even if I make a second water well device, the system can't upgrade it."

Just like the raincoat cannot be upgraded if it is not placed in the closet, the same is true for the water well.

Shaking his head, putting the strange thoughts behind him, Liam began to check the harvest of this trip.
