Interstellar arena

Chapter 055 Iron is more expensive than gold

The crackling sound was getting closer and closer, and the sound was extremely frightening. It was like a huge beast running inside the turbulent trees.

Feeling the fierceness coming towards his face, Liu Fei felt a little nervous, while Burleigh drew out a small laser gun and waited for it.

What surprised Liu Fei and Bo Li was that Wei Xiong was as stable as Mount Tai in the face of the turbulent momentum, standing still.

When did this guy become so bold?

Liu Fei and Bo Li looked at each other. Although Wei Xiong looked strong and tall, in fact, his performance had always been a bit wretched and timid.

Chi!

Just when Liu Fei was puzzled, suddenly, a black shadow slightly larger than a fist shot out from the bushes and rushed towards Wei Xiong. What surprised Liu Fei and Baili was that it was Wei Xiong who was fighting to the death. Suddenly turned around and ran, and quickly climbed up a tree. The tree was small, the mouth of the bowl was thick, and it was not high. Wei Xiong climbed up and rode on a branch, wobbling incomparably funny...

Under the moonlight, countless small animals ran wildly from the bushes, hitting the bushes with crackling noises. Soon, those small animals that were slightly bigger than fists surrounded Wei Xiong in a circle. He kept jumping up, trying to attack Wei Xiong, but the height Wei Xiong climbed was very ingenious, just a little bit higher than those small animals jumped.

When those ferocious little animals attacked Wei Xiong, Wei Xiong didn't stay idle, his legs clamped tightly to the small tree, his hands clenched the wooden spear, and kept poking at the little animals that leaped in the air.

A strange scene appeared, those vicious little animals seemed to have a deep hatred with Wei Xiong, ignoring the tent not far away, and just madly attacking Wei Xiong on the tree.

Wei Xiong's movements were very irregular and imprecise. Although he poked non-stop, the efficiency was very low. However, this inefficient counterattack just caused a fatal blow to those small dark animals. There will be small animals whose stomachs are punctured and fall to the ground.

This situation lasted for more than two hours until the end, dozens of small animals were killed by Wei Xiong, the battle was not tragic, but the result was extremely tragic, the ground was dripping with blood, and corpses were strewn all over the field.Animal internal organs were scattered everywhere, in a mess.

When the battle was over, Liu Fei and Boli walked over.

Under the moonlight, Liu Fei carefully observed a small animal. The small animal was slightly bigger than a human fist, gray, and looked like a mouse. However, it looked much more vicious than a mouse. Its limbs appeared to be very strong, and its pointed mouth showed teeth. There was a cold light shining under the moonlight, and a pair of eyes were extremely ferocious. What's more special was that the back of this animal was actually a whole piece of bone, which was extremely hard.

Liu Fei checked several corpses in a row and found that the fatal wounds of all the corpses were on the stomach.

Soon, Liu Fei came to the conclusion that Wei Xiong was very familiar with this kind of animal, knew how high they jumped, and knew where their deadly parts were.

If you are not familiar with the habits of this kind of animal, it is really troublesome. Firstly, this kind of animal is extremely fast, and secondly, their back is extremely hard, and it is difficult to kill them with ordinary physical blows.

Judging from Wei Xiong's battle results, their weakness is in the abdomen, but they seem to like to run close to the ground very much, and only jump up at the moment of attack.

"How about it!" Wei Xiong had already slipped down from the tree at this time, with a smug smile on his face, obviously, he was very satisfied with his brilliant victory.

"Not bad, very powerful!"

Liu Fei nodded, this fool was much smarter than he imagined.

"These guys are called iron-backed caracal rats. They live in groups. In a dry land of this size, there are usually about fifty of them gathered together to live. They are very powerful, agile and very fast, and their backs are composed of several hard bones. , It is not easy to kill them, and they are not afraid of death. Once the attack target is determined, they will attack frantically and never die... We are lucky. Not strong enough, and the jumping height is not enough, otherwise, we will be in trouble, a hunter in Niujia Village was trapped in a large dry land, and starved to death on a tree..."

While talking, Wei Xiong collected the carcass corpses together, and then used the sawtooth dagger given to him by Burleigh to divide the bones, very busy.

"What are you doing?" Liu Fei asked suspiciously.

"The back bones of iron-backed caracal rats are very valuable. You see, the bones on their backs are mainly composed of two large bone fragments. After processing, they become high-quality armor bone fragments. Gladiators like to use this kind of bone fragments most Armor, such a piece of bone, you can buy a gold coin, this time I am lucky and rich, haha..." Wei Xiong's voice was very excited.

It really is a natural high-quality armor bone piece!

Picking up a piece of bone from which the skin and flesh had been removed, Liu Fei couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the Creator. The bone piece was very standardized, with a moderate size, and there were natural vertical lines in the middle to prevent slipping. As long as it was slightly polished and perforated, the bone piece armor could be made with ropes.

Liu Fei helped Wei Xiong remove dozens of bone fragments, and once again showed his dazzling knife skills, which made Wei Xiong greatly envious, and kept pestering Liu Fei, hoping that Liu Fei would teach him some knife skills. Unbearable annoyance, Wei Xiong was dismissed after casually pointing out training methods and anatomical techniques to increase speed.

Silent all night.

The sunrise of Ideal Star is very spectacular, and the sunlight is very violent. After the red sunrise only lasted for tens of seconds, the sun became hot.

Undoubtedly, this is a planet blessed with abundant sunlight and abundant water resources, which make the plants on this planet extraordinarily lush, and the lush plants provide animals with a habitat with sufficient food. Human beings live on such a planet rich in species. In fact, there is no need to worry about food issues at all. Of course, in this dangerous place, human beings are not only hunters, but also become prey in many cases.

Liu Fei saw Wei Xiong the first time he came out of the tent.

Wei Xiong was sitting on a tree with a machete, holding the sawtooth dagger in his hand, with a face of pensive thought, and from time to time he gestured twice in the air with the dagger, as if possessed by a demon.

"Mr. Liu, there are iron mines here!" Suddenly, Burleigh's surprised voice came from a distance.

iron ore!

Liu Fei's heart skipped a beat, and following the sound, he saw Bole squatting on a barren dry land, digging something with a camping tool knife.

At this time, everyone heard the sound and gathered in the past.

"This is not suitable for smelting."

Liu Fei's knowledge of metal ores is very high. He judged at a glance that the so-called iron ore in Burleigh's mouth has no meaning for smelting at all, because the quality is too low, the iron content is too low, and the smelting cost is very high. The most important thing is that, from the analysis of the linear ore texture and protruding parts, this is not a large metal mine at all, but just a piece of rock rich in metal.

really!

At this time, professional technicians have already used instruments to detect, and the detection results have confirmed Liu Fei's speculation. The so-called metal mine is 13 meters long, [-] meters wide, and [-] meters high. In fact, it is just an independent rock.

After the results were obtained, everyone couldn't help but look disappointed. You must know that metal is very important for repairing the Brave Enterprise. According to the self-retrieval data of the Brave Enterprise's optical computer, a large amount of metal is needed to repair the Brave Enterprise. Moreover, the required The general class of metals is very complex. If they can't find the metals they need, they will never want to return to space...

"No, this rock shows that this planet has metal!"

"What do you want metal for?" Wei Xiong came over at some point and asked curiously.

"Repair that spaceship." Liu Fei was not good at lying and said directly.

"Oh... metal... We actually have metal here." Wei Xiong touched his head and said.

"Huh?" Dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Wei Xiong's body.

"We have a lot of gold..."

"Gold is useless, we need other metals." Burleigh shook his head. Although gold is also needed to repair the Brave Enterprise, the amount required is almost negligible.

"We can buy metal with gold."

"Can the metal be purchased?"

Burleigh couldn't help feeling a little skeptical. In a society where even kitchen knives are shared, it is hard to imagine that metals can be bought and sold freely.

"There are smuggled metals. Our village itself only allows two kitchen knives. The extra kitchen knife is bought in the underground market. However, it is very expensive. It costs fifty Y-shaped gold coins..."

"Fifty Y-shaped gold coins?"

Everyone was in an uproar and couldn't help gasping. If a kitchen knife cost [-] gold coins to buy, how many gold coins would it take to repair the Brave Enterprise?

Due to the violent friction between the Valiant Enterprise and the ground when it landed, the lower part of the hull was severely damaged. According to the data retrieved by the optical computer, at least more than 1000 tons of metal are required to repair the Valiant Enterprise, and there are many types of metals. A kitchen knife also costs 1000 gold coins. How many gold coins are needed for more than [-] tons of metal?

"Is there a model for the gold coin?" Burleigh suddenly thought of a crucial question.

"Well, there are many types, and the Y-shaped gold coin is the largest, weighing two hundred grams."

"Two hundred grams..."

Everyone gasped again, how much does a kitchen knife weigh? How much is a 50 yuan gold coin?

If a kitchen knife weighs one kilogram, which is only one kilogram, and fifty gold coins weigh as much as 1000 grams, that is to say, the gold coin is already ten times the weight of the kitchen knife, then if you buy metal at this price , More than 1 tons of metal need at least more than [-] tons of gold to buy...

What the hell is this?

Gold is actually cheaper than common metals!

Everyone looked at each other with wry smiles...
