Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 44 44. Is there a mine?
After finishing all this, Su You did not leave, but took out the stone knife and began to collect the plants to be planted nearby.

There is no way to grow anything in the farmland alone. She also needs seeds, and seeds also need to be collected.

In the Sunset Continent, seeds are obtained by processing a complete plant or the fruit of a plant.

For fiber plants, for example, Suyou needs to dig out a whole fiber plant with its roots out of the soil, then throw it into the workbench and process it into [Fiber Plant Seed].

Another example is red berries, because it grows on bushes, it is impossible for Suyou to dig out the whole bush and throw it into the workbench, so the way to plant this kind of plant is to process the fruit, that is, process red berries.

In addition to fiber plants, Suyou also plans to collect some other plants to make plantable seeds, such as cotton plants, red grass plants...or some special plants.

Needless to say, cotton is a very familiar plant, and it is also a very common plant in the forest. However, because the processing is more troublesome, Su You didn't collect it before.

Suyou needs cotton to make daily necessities, whether it's clothes or quilts, or some other things.

Red grass is a common herb in the forest.

Boil red grass and water, and you can harvest a bottle of the most basic 'low-level healing potion', which can restore 10 points of blood.

Although the amount of recovered HP is very small, the advantage is that it is easy to make and the materials are easy to obtain, so this is one of the materials that many people like to hoard in large quantities in the early stage.

Because the fiber and berry bushes near the territory are close, if Suyou digs the fiber plants there to make seeds, it would be a bit of a waste of time, so Suyou does not plan to collect plants near the territory to plant.

It just so happens that she is going to deliver meat, so she can also collect some seeds along the way... and open a map by the way.

That's right, Su You has already made a map, and she is still wandering around the spawn point of the stone monster with the map.

Turn around, if you see red grass or other valuable plants, stop and collect them, and after collecting them, take out the map and continue to turn.

The map will only record the path when carrying it, so the places Su You has been to before are still dark, and these locations will not be unlocked until she goes again with the map.

I don't know how long it has passed, Su You's backpack is full of all kinds of messy plants, and at the same time, there is only the last road sign she is carrying.

Signpost: Placed on the ground when carrying a map, it can leave a mark on the map and can be named.

Originally, if Su You was the only one, then she definitely didn't need a road sign, because she already had her own way of remembering the map after playing the game for a long time.

But maps and road signs are special props that can be shared. That is to say, as long as she finishes opening the map now and marks the vicinity, the map she makes later will be complete and marked.

In this way, this map can be given to other npcs, preventing them from getting lost, and at the same time allowing them to leave the territory and go to farther places to collect supplies.

If there is no map, then Su You can only take them to the destination in person... Then it would be too troublesome, and it would be bad if there is a Lu Chi.

……

Because it is collecting materials while exploring the map, Su You's efficiency is actually not high. From sunny to dark, this map has only unlocked an area less than the size of a fingernail.

At this point in time, Su You should go back, but when she unlocked the last area, she saw some familiar terrain and environment in this last area...

"Slanted mountains, broad-leaved trees... Is there a mine near here?!" Originally, Su You just wanted to explore the map first, and it would be even better if she could explore the quarry. It doesn't matter if she can't, she has a whole day tomorrow can act.

But she never thought that she did not explore the quarry as she expected, but she found an area where almost 90.00% of the mines would be refreshed.

Inclined mountains are a kind of terrain. This kind of terrain looks flat, but in fact the entire road surface is inclined, which means that there are mountains nearby... If it is just an inclined mountain, it is not a big deal, after all, mountains are not rare things. .

But if you see broad-leaved trees near the slopes, it will be different.

Because hardwood is basically a kind of tree that will always be refreshed around ore resource points. It can be said that there may not be hardwood in places with ore resource points, but there must be ore resource points in places with hardwood.

The types of ore resource points are generally divided into three types.

The first is the mine, where the ore is exposed on the surface, just dig it directly, the difficulty of mining is low, but usually there are not too many high-grade ores.

The second type is mines. The ores are hidden in the mountains. There are common ores and relatively rare ores. The difficulty of mining is medium.

The third type is underground ore veins. According to the literal meaning, the ore is underground, but the depth is unknown, so mining is extremely difficult, but it also corresponds to a higher probability of high-grade ore.

The classic combination of sloping mountains + hardwood almost locks the possibility in the second one—there are mountains and ores nearby, so what is this if it’s not a mine?
Although it is not without a very small possibility, for example, this mountain is an ordinary stone mountain, and there is an ore resource point under this mountain... To be honest, if this is really the case, then it is better to have no ore resource point .

Because there are generally a few resource points in a range, once you swipe this one, the probability of swipe the next one is very low, or it will only be refreshed in a far away place.

And this kind of mineral veins under the stone mountain is really tormenting. After all, it is necessary to forcibly dig a mountain to dig out the underground mineral veins. Needless to say, the workload is huge.

Su You felt that she should not encounter such a small probability event, nor did she want to encounter such a small probability event.

Because of the discovery of the ore resource point, Su You's original idea of ​​going home directly dissipated - she wanted to go and have a look.

As soon as this idea appeared, Su You had already moved towards the location of the mine that she had judged based on experience.

She counted the time, she still has 10 minutes at most to find this 'mine', no matter if she finds the mine after 10 minutes, she must return to the territory immediately.

In order to prevent delays due to emergencies, Su You deliberately set aside 10 minutes for herself as a fault tolerance, otherwise she would actually have a total of half an hour to find the mine.
