Global Wasteland: Awaken the Heart of Technology at the beginning

Chapter 29 Discovery of Iron Ore
"Dididi!" Wang Teng hadn't run far when the mineral vein detector in his hand rang.

"It's actually a saltpeter mine. The location is very close." Wang Teng said in surprise, this is one of the raw materials for making black powder.

Following the guidance on the mineral vein detector, Wang Teng found himself making a big circle and came to the other side of the lake next to the camp.

"Is this saltpeter?" Wang Teng looked at a large piece of white stone in front of him, with some yellow impurities in it, which didn't look quite like it.

"Appraisal!" Wang Teng directly used the skill. It has to be said that this skill is so easy to use that many things would not be recognized without it.

【Struvite】

[Explanation: It is formed by the accumulation of bird feces and carcasses. It can be used as nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, and there is a lot of nitrate below. 】

"It turned out to be nitrate soil, which is not bad." Wang Teng said with a smile, as long as the nitrate soil is boiled with plant ash, it can extract saltpeter with a small amount of impurities.

Wang Teng recalled the formula of black powder,
Now that saltpeter is available, charcoal can also be produced, but there is no sulfur.

"Sulphur is difficult to deal with. There are many such things near craters or hot springs." Wang Teng smiled wryly. These two things are not so easy to find, and detectors alone are definitely not enough.

Fortunately, Nitrogen is located very close to him, and black powder can be made quickly with sulfur in the future.

"Let's go, Coke." Wang Teng looked at the mineral vein detector for a while, and was about to go to the waterfall in the north to have a look.

After all, that area is shown as a valley on the map. If you are lucky, you should be able to find the vein.

"Wow!" Coke turned and ran in front of Wang Teng, scouting the way for him and finding the wooden treasure chest by the way.

…………

After more than half an hour, Wang Teng returned to the bottom of the waterfall with Coke.

Looking at the familiar waterfall in the distance, Wang Teng was deeply moved. He didn't expect to come back so soon.

Along the way, Coke helped him find a lot of wooden treasure chests, and Coke's sense of smell seemed to be stronger than before.

Sitting in front of the lake to rest, Wang Teng began to count the harvest along the way.

In addition to the most basic wood, stone and iron, Wang Teng also opened 21 pieces of bread, 8 bottles of water, a bag of edible salt, and a bottle of soy sauce from the treasure chest.

In addition, there is a shelter upgrade module, a metal dagger, and a small bottle of iodine.

In terms of blueprints, Wang Teng's demand is not great, but he also found a blueprint for an evaporative radiator, a blueprint for a hand crossbow, and a blueprint for a wooden squat toilet.

These blueprints are relatively common to Wang Teng. The evaporative radiator is a simple air conditioner that dissipates heat with water.

But it's the end of summer now, and fall is only a few days away, so it's not worth much.

"Toilet, do you want to build it?" Wang Teng looked at the blueprint in his backpack. It is not easy to deal with this thing in the shelter, and it is more convenient to find a place in the wild to solve it.

But now that the mutant camp is occupied, it is possible to find a special place to build one.

Closing the storage backpack, Wang Teng was overwhelmed with emotion. There were too many things to do, such as firing cement, building stone walls, and expanding the scale of planting, each of which took a lot of time.

"Have a good rest, let's continue!" Wang Teng stood up, ready to walk along a large gap in the mountain wall on the right side of the waterfall to look behind.

"Woof!" Coke happily ran in front of Wang Teng, and rushed into the crevice of the mountain first.

…………

After walking more than 20 meters in the crevice of the mountain, the mineral vein detector in Wang Teng's hand started beeping.

"Here it is, it's iron ore!" Wang Teng looked down at the vein detector. Although the iron ore was also very good, Wang Teng was still a little disappointed.

Compared with other ores, Wang Teng is more eager to find coal mines, so that his shortage of manpower can be solved.

Unlike other players, Wang Teng prefers to work hard on his own. When he thinks of the trivial matters to be dealt with when there are too many people, Wang Teng feels a headache.

"It's not bad to have iron ore, let's go and have a look first." Wang Teng quickened his pace and quickly passed the mountain crevice.

What unfolded in front of Wang Teng was a gravel forest and a lot of weeds.

Following the instructions of the vein detector, Wang Teng quickly found a cave.

"Coke, wait for a while." Wang Teng took out the wood from the storage backpack, and quickly whittled it into long sticks.

Light one end with a flint and steel, and a simple torch is made.

Holding the torch in his left hand and the mutated spider's leg in his right, Wang Teng carefully entered the cave with Coke.

According to Wang Teng's guess, this place is very likely to be a mine, maybe there will be living people or other wild animals here.

To Wang Teng's surprise, he hasn't seen any other forks in this cave after walking for a long time, but the mineral vein detector has always had a strong response.

Picking up the pickaxe and digging on the nearby stone wall for a while, Wang Teng quickly dug out some iron ore.

"Yes, this mine has not been developed yet." Wang Teng nodded in satisfaction. This place is very large, and a large amount of iron ore should be dug out.

Considering that it was getting late, Wang Teng quickly returned to the entrance of the cave along the way he came.

"I have to cover up this place, don't let other people come in." Wang Teng moved some gravel and disguised it as ordinary.

After finishing all this, Wang Teng decided to call it a day. It was a pity that he could not find the coal mine, but there was no other way.

Taking out the map and studying it, Wang Teng decided to climb over the mountain and return to the shelter by another road.

This road should not take too long, and you can drop by to see if there are any veins.

"Coke, let's go!" Wang Teng said to Coke. The current Coke is more than one meter long, and it can be ridden when it grows up.

Thinking of this, Wang Teng couldn't help but look at Coke a few more times. With the speed of Coke, it will be much more convenient to travel by then.

…………

After running on the mountain for a while, Coke suddenly led Wang Teng to the side.

Soon, Wang Teng's eyes lit up, and there was actually a treasure chest made of stone under the big tree in front of him.

"Stone treasure chest! It looks higher than wooden treasure chests." Excited Wang Teng was about to walk over, when a big tortoise more than one meter long slowly crawled out and stretched its neck to stare at Wang Teng.

【Green Hair Turtle Lv5】

[Skills: Bite, Water Impact]

[Description: A tortoise covered in green hair that mutated due to radiation. 】

It was actually a level 5 tortoise, and it was still a magic tortoise depending on its skills.

Wang Teng looked at the green turtle solemnly. This is a beast of the same level as himself, and its strength should not be underestimated!
