Raft Survival: Fishing for Mermaids

The more you go, the more you will be in the water.

Based on Lin Chen's current production capacity and material abundance, it is best to maximize the benefits of black iron and bronze treasure chests through lucky bottom-line reinforcement, while rotten wood and silver-level treasure chests are more suitable for direct opening.

Lin Chen put all 7 black iron treasure chests into the warehouse and did not open them immediately.

"The dangers in this survival world are beginning to increase."

First it was in the water, then on the ground, and finally even the sky was not safe.

During the novice period, there were only attacks from fierce beasts at night, but after the novice period, attacks from dangerous creatures began to appear during the day.

"Since fierce birds are beyond the attack range of conventional weapons, it is estimated that the demand for bows and arrows in the market will increase significantly."

Lin Chen opened the chat channel.

The situation here was as he expected.

"@林晨 Boss, please sell me some arrows. I'm being attacked by birds. I've used up all my arrows but still can't kill them."

"@林晨 Boss, please sell me some bows and arrows. I don't have any ranged weapons and can't beat these birds!"

"Damn, I'm going to be pissed off by these birds. They stole the supplies on my raft!"

"If they attack me, I can fight back, but stealing supplies is a big deal! I worked so hard to collect the supplies! Almost half of them were taken away!"

"It swallowed my freshly grilled fish in one gulp! Damn!"

"I can't hit the target! I shot more than ten arrows and only got hit by one arrow. What should I do? Is there anyone who can teach me? Teach me how to shoot archery! "This game has a proficiency system. You can shoot a few more proficiency. "Batch sale! Require iron blocks!" "Sell ordinary slingshots! No arrows are required! Bird artifacts!" "@“ “Are you still selling weapons?" It is far less than Lin Chen, and there is a lot of restrictions at the time of sale. In addition, due to the special nature of birds, people have higher requirements for their own defense.

Lin Chen decided to continue to produce armor and use the production of arrows as consumables to accumulate lucky guarantees.

[Production completed, "Lucky Guarantee" effect activated! Quality +1! ]

[Get: Leather Armor (Good)]

[...]

[+1, get cloth armor (good)]

[...]

[+1, get wooden chain mail (good)]

[...]

Lin Chen: "Sell arrows, sell good armor, the best choice to resist damage from dangerous creatures. It's on the shelf, take it yourself. [Entry: Leather Armor], [Entry: Cloth Armor]..."

Since he has armor, ordinary arrows can hardly cause damage to Lin Chen.

He will not sell high-quality armor for the time being.

Cutting-edge technology must always be in one's own hands, and will not be leaked unless it is absolutely necessary.

The principle of boomerang is applicable in any world.

"Good armor! Once I put it on, I will go to the island and fight Xiong Da! Thank you, Brother Lin! Praise Brother Lin!"

"It's still me, Brother Lin! I'm a tough guy who doesn't talk much, but I always make good products!"

"Eh? No, how come it's out of stock in just a few seconds! Are you guys so quick to buy!"

"Armor is so expensive. The materials for buying five pieces of armor can buy a fishing boat."

"You think armor is expensive? Then do you think your life is cheap? This can save your life! Compared with life, this little money is nothing!"

"This is good quality armor! And it's light It's also very resistant to attacks! The ordinary quality armors on the market can't compare to it at all!"

"Why does Brother Lin have so many different kinds of armor? How can he have so many armor blueprints? Aren't you curious?"

"Why do you care about this? Brother Lin must have his own way. We ordinary people don't have to think about it. We don't have that ability. We just live a stable life. With the armor, I'll go kill a few good-level beasts to try my hand."

"..."

Lin Chen noticed that it was indeed easy for him to put multiple good-level armors on the shelves at one time.

It invites speculation.

His good armor was upgraded by luck, not made by himself.

Lin Chen ignored those who raised questions and continued to produce.

The market for arrows is huge, but its market demand was soon squeezed out by similar products.

Because a large number of long-range weapons that do not use arrows appeared on the market.

For example, slingshots.

Although the range is much shorter, only one stone is needed for each launch, which is cost-effective and is completely sufficient to deal with fierce birds attacking ships.

However, for hunting, long-range sniping with bows and arrows is more useful.

Just as Lin Chen was producing arrow armor, a private message sounded.

"Ding Di"

Zhang Qinwei: "Boss, the generator is ready."

[Zhang Qinwei: Directed Trading Application]

[Foot-operated generator (self-named prop) ⇄ None]

Lin Chen's generator.

This is a wooden machine that looks like an elliptical machine.

Lin Chen stood on two pedals and stepped on them alternately, driving the disc in the middle to start rotating.

The rotation of the disc drives a small disc to start rotating.

The small disc can rotate about twenty times when the big disc rotates once.

There are electromagnetic devices on both sides of the small disc, which can generate electricity when the small disc rotates.

"Not bad."

Lin Chen looked at the generator with appreciation.

"The only drawback is that this thing is powered by electricity, and someone needs to keep pedaling."

Lin Chen thought that it is more suitable to use the Thunder Eel when using the air conditioner, but when the pirate ship is equipped with a propeller in the future, this generator can be used to power the propeller.

Not only is the current stable, but the propeller speed can be controlled by the pedaling frequency, thereby controlling the pirate ship's forward movement and turning.

Lin Chen: "Good job. How is the production of the large propeller going?"

Zhang Qinwei: "Boss, I just calculated it carefully. With the material strength of the wooden board, it may not be able to produce the effect of the large propeller you want. Under the condition of high speed and increased contact area with seawater, the wooden board may break directly in the first circle.

I estimate that at least a metal material that is not easy to deform is needed. But I don't have a tool to press metal at present."

The strength of the wooden board is indeed not high, and it is already very difficult to make a propeller with small wind blades.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Chen replied: "If there are multiple small propellers, is it okay?"

Zhang Qinwei: "In theory, it is feasible. But I have also calculated this. According to the data provided by you, at least thirteen small propellers are needed to propel a ship that is a hundred times larger than a fishing boat... and these small propellers are easily damaged and may need to be replaced once every hundred kilometers. The cost is too high.

In addition to the consumption of the motor, the power line is also a problem. The ship you are talking about must be a large ship, and people must stand on the deck to control the direction when driving. Connecting the thirteen propellers from the bottom to the deck requires additional wires, and the wires need to be thicker, otherwise they cannot withstand such a large current."

A small propeller requires a motor, plus the consumption of making a generator, and wires...

Currently, the only way to obtain wires is to dismantle the wires of electric fans and air conditioners.

A propulsion system is estimated to consume more than fifty electric fans and air conditioners, or even more!

But!

Lin Chen can afford it!

The actual cost of making an air conditioner or electric fan is the cost of making a mechanical fan: wood*5, palm leaves*5, iron blocks*3, leather*2.

As iron blocks become more common, Lin Chen's iron block inventory has more than 5,000 blocks!

Not to mention 50 units, even 500 units! Lin Chen can make them!

It's all small money!

Spend it!

There is no bank here, and the materials cannot be collected by interest, so it's time to spend them!

Lin Chen: "Since the theory is feasible, then make it."

As a boss, how can you want employees to engage in production without providing enough means of production!
