Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 17 17. Barbecue
The rabbit just now contributed a total of four small pieces of meat, that is, four small portions of barbecue meat can be made, and a total of 160 hunger points can be restored.

With these four barbecues, Su You would have enough food to kill the fire monster this afternoon.

After all, when killing the fire monster in the afternoon, the main force is the arrow tower, and she will surround the passers-by watching the show, and at most hit soy sauce to make up the knife... If the building layout is reasonable, she doesn't even need to make up the knife, she just needs to lie down Just wait until you collect your stuff.

……

[Get a small barbecue*4]

As the countdown to the barbecue ended, Su You put the barbecue in her backpack and walked straight into the depths of the forest.

Although she didn't know the specific location of the fire monster, Su You knew the approximate refresh range of the fire monster.

Empty space, few plants, dry soil, and only low shrubs with withered leaves around... These are the characteristics of the location where the fire monster refreshes.

In other words, because of the existence of the fire monster, these environments were formed.

In addition to the above environmental characteristics, there must be a water source near the fire monster's lair, whether it is a stream or a river, it must be there.

……

After some twists and turns, it took Su You more than an hour to go from the periphery of the forest to the border of the deep forest, and then to the depths of the forest. Finally, she saw a burning flame on the other side of a small stream. figure.

The distribution of these figures is similar to that of the stone monsters, distributed in twos and threes, and there are also singles.

Just behind them, Su You saw a huge cave... No need to think too much, this cave is the lair of the fire monster.

"One, two, three..." Su You slightly counted the fire monsters that she could see with the naked eye, and at the end of the count, she found that there were thirteen in total.

The forest is huge, and there is more than one spawn point for stone monsters, and naturally there is more than one lair for fire monsters.

Under normal circumstances, about 15 to 25 fire monsters will be spawned in a lair. The behavior of these fire monsters is that about half of the fire monsters will go out for a walk during the day, and the remaining half will stay in the lair and kill them. Housekeeping.

In the afternoon, the housekeeper fire monsters would go out for a walk, and those fire monsters who went out in the morning would return to their lairs... This is actually similar to changing the guard.

Since the number of fire monsters outside is now thirteen, Su You can basically confirm that this should be a refresh point full of fire monsters.

The upper limit is 25, thirteen outside and twelve inside the cave.

It is not a bad thing to spawn more fire monsters, at least not for Su You, because the more fire monsters, the higher the probability of her spawning fire stones, so there is no need to change the refresh point frequently.

……

After finding the location of the fire monster, Su You, under the cover of the plants, quietly walked around the creek from another direction to the same side of the fire monster's lair.

[Do you want to consume wood*10 to build a primary arrow tower*1? 】

Looking at the phantom that suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, Su You's heart did not fluctuate at all. She decisively chose 'Yes', and then placed it in an extremely empty place.

[The primary arrow tower is being built, estimated time: 300 seconds. 】

Building a building is different from making an item. The former calculates the construction time separately, and the latter must wait for the workbench to be free before continuing to make it.

Therefore, after the first arrow tower was placed, Su You immediately came to a place where trees were piled up.

Here is her choice, the second point to build the arrow tower.

Now, as long as there are other people here, you can find that the construction positions of these two arrow towers can be said to be very different.

One was built in an open place with almost no shelter around, and the other was built in the gaps between crowded trees...God knows how Su You found a place where there were almost no gaps. The judgment point for building the primary arrow tower.

In addition, another difference is that the primary arrow tower 2 built between the trees is closer to the lair of the fire monster, while the primary arrow tower 1 is just right between the arrow tower 2 and the fire monster. On the lair connection.

In other words, Arrow Tower 1, Arrow Tower 2, and the fire monster's lair can almost be connected in a straight line.

In addition, there is another detail, that is, the straight-line distance between the two arrow towers is exactly the maximum attack range of the elementary arrow towers.

With the completion of the construction of the two primary arrow towers, Su You took out the previously made fence.

Two of the wooden fences surround Arrow Tower 2, and the fence gate is placed in the middle of the two wooden fences... So far, all the preparations for Su You to kill the fire monster are considered complete.

And what she has to do now is to attract the attention of the fire monster, and then bring the fire monster here...

Before that, Su You also did one more thing, that is to equip all the 24 stone arrows in the backpack into the ammunition slots of Arrow Tower 1.

As for why the Arrow Tower 2 is not equipped with stone arrows... It can only be said that the function of the Arrow Tower 2 is not an attack from the beginning to the end.

The two elementary arrow towers are necessary buildings to kill the fire monster, but only one arrow tower is really attacked, and the other arrow tower has a special role.

……

In order to test whether this method of killing fire monsters is effective, or what kind of effect it has, Su You is going to lure one or two over first.

In the case of only one arrow tower, too many fire monsters were pulled over at once. Even if she made arrangements, the arrow tower would still have no time to clean up these monsters, and the result would be nothing more than a car overturn.

Covered by the surrounding plants, Su You came to a location not far from the fire monster's lair, but not too close.

At this position, Su You stopped, because there was no cover any further forward - the scarcity of plants in the fire monster's lair meant that there were not many tall plants that could be used as cover.

Originally, Su You wanted to use an ax to chop down trees to create noise and attract the attention of the fire monsters. When they came, she would hide them, and the fire monsters would return the same way when they found nothing.

Because these fire monsters have different positions and action speeds, so as long as this operation is repeated several times, the gathered fire monsters can be separated into several individually.

At that time, it will be a very simple matter for Su You to attract the single fire monster.

But just when Su You took out her ax and was about to act according to this plan, she suddenly saw two fire monsters walking towards her.

Although Su You didn't know if it was a coincidence, or because something happened to the fire monster's lair, they came here... But the subconscious reaction made her hide in a place where the two fire monsters couldn't see.
