Chapter 38 Mastering the Art of Mining

Even if I made a small profit by accident today.

However, Chen Dong, who has the virtue of diligence and frugality, will not let go of any resources around him.

The rock that the jackal hid just now is a very good resource.

However, when he picked up the shovel, he found that the rock was extremely hard, and the shovel could not collect the stone.

[System prompt: Sand and gravel resources are relatively hard, it is recommended to use a pickaxe]

Patting his head, Chen Dong couldn't help worrying about his IQ.

During this period of time, I have been using shovels, and I have not encountered huge rock resources in the desert.

I almost forgot to mine stones, of course it is most convenient to use a pickaxe.

Open the manufacturing list and take a look.

[Inferior Iron Pickaxe: Wood 2/2, Iron Block 2/2]

【普通铁镐:螺丝钉2/2、铁块4/4、兽骨2/2】

【精良组合镐:螺丝钉2/2、铁块4/4、合金0/2、钢0/1】

As for Shi Hao, Chen Dong didn't look at it.

Stone pickaxes are only processed from wood and stones, and the mining efficiency of this stuff is really too low.

What Chen Dong really wanted was an excellent combination pickaxe.

However, the crafting recipe of a sophisticated combination pickaxe requires steel and alloys.

Chen Dong does not have these two materials at present, and Chen Dong has never seen anyone owning these two materials in the trading market or World Channel.

From the current point of view, the materials everyone has at this stage are generally iron blocks, copper blocks, and screws.

Chen Dong hasn't discovered any materials that are too complicated.

However, there are synthesis schemes for these two materials in the raw material processor.

It's a pity that a lot of resources need to be transported inside.

In desperation, Chen Dong can only choose to forge ordinary iron picks first.

Fortunately, the materials are already complete, and it is also very convenient to complete the construction in the portable production list.

[Hint: The common iron pickaxe has been crafted]

[Hint: Get ordinary iron pickaxe +1]

[Ordinary iron pick: a relatively sharp mining tool that can greatly improve mining efficiency. In addition to the main resource stone, there is a certain chance of obtaining mineral secondary resources]

Seeing the description of ordinary iron pickaxes, Chen Dong was taken aback for a moment.

What does it mean that there is a certain chance of obtaining mineral secondary resources?
That is to say, in addition to stone, maybe resources such as iron ore can also be mined?
So if you use a combination pickaxe yourself, is it more likely to mine secondary resources?

After getting the iron pick, Chen Dong couldn't wait to start experimenting.

This iron pickaxe is made with a very sharp head, and the surface is polished very smooth.

Chen Dong walked up to the rock, held the iron pick in his hand, and swung the pick fiercely towards the top of the rock.

[Hint: Stone +1]

[Hint: Stone +1]

[Hint: Stone +1]

Chen Dong had only picked up some small rocks before, and had never mined such a large rock.

With his growing strength now, mining doesn't feel too tiring.

Every time you hit it, the strength is very stable.

[Hint: Stone +1]

[Hint: Sandstone +1]

Actually got sandstone!
Chen Dong couldn't help being excited, and he swung the pickaxe more powerfully.

[Hint: Stone +1]

[Hint: Stone +1]

[Hint: Tin Ore +1]

There are mineral resources again!

Now, Chen Dong was even more excited when he waved the pickaxe.

After a while, Chen Dong collected all the rock resources in front of him, and all these resources were automatically included in Chen Dong's core barrier.

So now the ground is bare, and there is no trace of a huge rock that once existed.

In this collection, Chen Dong obtained a total of:
[Stone +30, Sandstone +6, Tin Ore +2]

[Tin ore: the original ore in the desert, tin resources can be obtained after processing, and it is an important equipment manufacturing material]

[Sandstone: an ore resource in the desert, with a wide range of uses, is one of the main synthetic materials for cement]

Good stuff!

Chen Dong was overjoyed immediately, he never thought that rock resources could obtain so many good things.

This is just mining a piece.

And with tin mines, will there be copper mines, gold mines, and silver mines in the future?

Is it possible to even dig a coal mine yourself?

In addition to obtaining stone resources, the most important thing is that sandstone can be used to synthesize cement.

It seems that in the desert, all resources are unique and have value for use.

At this time, Chen Dong found a small icon lit up on his control panel.

Chen Dong clicked to open it.

[Hint: Obtain the mining technique]

Chen Dong was taken aback, did he master a new skill?

Open your natural ability panel.

[Basic collection skills]

[Proficiency level two: 1200/2000]

【Master Skills ([-])】

[Additional stamina limit increased by 5%]

[Additional strength increased by 5%]

The collection skills are actually level 2, and there is also an attribute that increases the additional power.

I just said how it feels like my strength has increased a lot, so it's not an illusion!

At this time, behind the collection skill panel, in addition to the already lit [Hemp Harvesting] icon, there is another skill icon in the shape of a pickaxe.

[Mining: special talent skill, can mine ore resources efficiently. After using the skill, you can complete the collection of all the main and auxiliary resources of the target mineral type at one time, and you will definitely get the auxiliary resources. The resource acquisition rate is higher when used with advanced mining picks]

Seeing the skill description, Chen Dong was excited.

One's own mining technique itself will inevitably obtain sub-resources, and the use of mining picks has a certain chance of obtaining sub-resources.

In other words, compared to other survivors, the probability of obtaining secondary resources when mining is almost several times that of others.

But having said that, why did I only get [Mining] and [Hemp Harvesting] until now?

Why isn't there a [logging technique]?
Is it because I only cut down a Populus euphratica tree or it died?
Or is it that I am naturally good at mining?

It's just the first time mining to be able to master the talent skill [Mining Technique]!
However, when Chen Dong was excited about mastering the [Mining Technique], he found that an icon suddenly appeared on his navigation panel.

In the southwest direction of the navigation map, the map suddenly showed the appearance of a rock.

[Target lead ore resources, distance 410 meters, estimated time 3 minutes, whether to start navigation]

Could it be that because I have mastered the [Mining Technique], now there are ore resources on the navigation map, it will be directly displayed?
Then why didn't the navigation display hemp resources on the map after mastering the [hemp picking technique]?
Chen Dong thought for a while, and there was probably only one explanation.

That is, hemp resources are relatively scarce, so far he has not been scanned in the navigation map.

And ore resources may be slightly more abundant than hemp resources, so there is another ore resource within the signal range of navigation.

Thinking of this, Chen Dong couldn't help being excited.

Drive the navigation and fly all the way to the destination.

This ore resource is lead mine, Chen Dong came to the rock.

The previous one is about the same size as the tin mine rock just now.

Chen Dong took out the iron pickaxe and directly used the skill [Mining]

Following the guidance of his skills, Chen Dong raised the pickaxe in the air.

After 5 seconds, Chen Dong slammed down with a pickaxe!
[Obtain: Stone +24]

[Obtain: Lead +6]

[Obtain: Granite +4]

Mining is really powerful!
In this way, mining saves time and effort, and you don’t need to dig there one by one!

It can collect all the resources at once, which is indeed a talent skill!

So powerful!
