Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 15 15. Whetstone

She needs to return to the foothold and 'decompose' the rabbit first.

It is certainly a good thing to have an unexpected harvest, but the appearance of this rabbit also messed up Su You's original plan.

Originally, according to her arrangement, she now wanted to go to the refresh point where all the stone monsters were killed by the mysterious creature yesterday, because she saw a kind of stone called 'sandstone' near there yesterday.

Sandstone needs to be mined with a pickaxe, and its function is to synthesize an item called 'Whetstone'.

The effect of the whetstone is as its name suggests. If it is explained from the perspective of data, its function is to restore the durability of the tool.

This is why she uses stone to make stone pickaxes, because with sandstone, she doesn't need to chop down trees by crafting new stone axes.

Under normal circumstances, sandstone may be refreshed in the lair of stone monsters, but if you want to mine sandstone, the most important thing is to kill all the nearby stone monsters... Otherwise, demolishing other people's homes in front of others, this is already It's not just provocative behavior, the consequences are naturally self-evident.

After all, it was thanks to the mysterious creature.

If it hadn't been for its help to clear up the three stone monsters, Su You would have hesitated for a long time yesterday.

Hesitate whether to use stone materials to make axes, or spend some time cleaning up stone monsters, then mine sandstone, use the whetstone made of sandstone to restore durability for axes, and then cut trees.

But now that the stone monsters have been killed, Su You doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

In less than a day, Su You's two plans were disrupted by unexpected circumstances, one was a mysterious creature, and the other was the appearance of a rabbit.

Although these two unexpected situations are developing in a good direction for Su You, they also make Su You more vigilant.

There were good and bad accidents, and she couldn't let her guard down just because of two consecutive surprises.

……

……

Taking the rabbit back to the foothold, Su You began to peel the skin with a stone knife.

There is nothing special about the peeling process, because of the auxiliary calibration, the peeling speed of Suyou is not particularly slow.

After a complete piece of rabbit skin was peeled off, the rabbit in Su You's hand turned into scattered objects.

【Obtain animal skin*1】

[Get a small piece of meat*4]

[Get Rabbit Hair*5]

The reason why Su You placed the small trap was the animal skin. She needed the animal skin to make something called a tool kit.

The function of the tool bag is to store tools. The tools here include axes, mining picks, stone knives, as well as unmade shovels, hoes, hammers, etc...

The tool bag is equivalent to a separate backpack space. Although it can only store tools, as long as it has it, the space of the backpack can be saved a lot.

Just like now, the tools in Suyou's backpack alone occupy three grids, but she can't do without these tools, because she needs to use them.

The materials needed for the tool kit are [animal skin*3, string*5], and the storage space is one for each type of tool. For example, it can only hold one axe, but it can hold an axe, a shovel, and a mine at the same time. A pickaxe, a stone knife... as long as it is a tool, it can be placed inside.

But in view of the lack of materials now, Su You could only put the animal skins away, together with the rabbit meat and rabbit fur wrapped in leaves, and put them under the tree.

After finishing these things, Su You went straight to the refresh point of the stone monster.

Because of the time it took to toss around the rabbit, when Su You arrived at the refresh point of the sandstone, the sky was already getting brighter.

Before mining the sandstone, Su You checked the surroundings to make sure that there were no stone monsters around, and then she took out the pickaxe to mine the sandstone.

Mining stones is different from wood. Wood is a single tree. As long as one tree can be cut down, the resources of a tree can be harvested, but stones are connected into a large piece.

Unless it is a single large stone, or a whole piece of stone, the drop of resources is calculated separately.

For example, if the first pickaxe is dug down, the probability of dropping resources is 5%, and the second pickaxe will become 10%... The more times you dig, the greater the probability of dropping resources, until you successfully drop resources until.

After the resource is dropped, the probability will start calculating again.

Because of the existence of sandstone, Su You planned to use the durability of the stone mining pick at least a little, just like the stone axe, before stopping.

Once the durability returns to zero, the tool will be scrapped directly and cannot be repaired, but as long as there is even a little durability, the tool is still a good tool, and it can be repaired with a whetstone at any time.

……

As the durability of the mining pick disappeared little by little, Su You's physical strength also decreased rapidly.

In order to ensure efficiency, Su You took a short break in the middle... This is to keep the physical strength in the range that can increase the efficiency of action.

When the durability of the stone mining pickaxe reaches (3/100), it happens to drop a piece of sandstone.

Seeing this piece of sandstone, Su You paused, then stopped directly, and did not choose to continue digging with two picks.

Although the probability of mining this kind of stone is variable, on average, it takes five or six diggings to drop one piece.

Only then did a piece of sandstone drop, and the probability of mining sandstone was reset. With only 3 points of durability left, Su You didn't expect to drop a stone after only digging twice... Since it is impossible to drop, then There is no need to waste energy.

After putting away the stone mining pick, Su You began to pick up large and small sandstone blocks on the ground.

【Obtain sandstone*4】

【Obtain sandstone*1】

[Obtain sandstone fragments*6]

……

After all the sandstone on the ground has been picked up, Su You now has a total of sandstone*15 and sandstone fragments*20.

A whetstone needs five pieces of sandstone to make, and 15 yuan is exactly enough to make three whetstones.

As for the sandstone fragments, these things do not belong to the quarrying drop, but belong to the sundries (garbage) produced during the mining process. The probability of sandstone fragments and sandstone occurrences are calculated separately. The probability of the former Obviously it will be higher.

These fragments are of little use, at least for now, because sandstone fragments are different from gravel and cannot be synthesized into sandstone, so Su You picked up the sandstone fragments and put them in a corner.

Even if it's useless things, Su You doesn't have the habit of throwing them away, because she doesn't know whether she will use them in the future. If she really needs them, she can come and pick them up when they are sorted out. It doesn't take much effort either.

With these sandstones, Suyou can start making whetstones.

[Do you want to consume sandstone*15 and make whetstone*3? 】

[Creating: Whetstone, estimated time: 60 seconds]

[Remaining production: whetstone*2, estimated time: 120 seconds]
