Doomsday Drifting Begins with Shipbuilding

Chapter 236
On an ice floe, a huge polar bear was gnawing on the corpse on the ground. Its body was stained with blood, and its hair was also very messy. It seemed that it had just experienced a war.

Suddenly, a stream of light flashed from a distance, instantly piercing through the body of the big polar bear.

The big polar bear shook twice, then fell heavily to the ground and turned into a corpse.

A white arrow was sticking into the corpse. Most of the arrow had already sunk into the polar bear's body, leaving only a small white end exposed.

And there is a thick white rope attached to the end of the arrow.

Then, the originally loose rope was suddenly tightened, and gradually, a dark tank-like vessel was drawn by the thick rope.

It is the "Kunpeng".

After the "Kunpeng" approached the ice floe, the rope at the end of the arrow continued to shrink, and the polar bear's body was also dragged over, leaving a long deep hole in the snow.

Looking at the results in front of him, Chen Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

This is the first time this snake tooth crossbow has been put into actual combat after optimization, and the effect is quite good.

The special effect of the Snake Tooth Crossbow was not very good at first, it was just ordinary "sharpness". After Chen Xuan spent 20 recasting points to recast it, he finally got a good effect.

(Blood poison: the toxin in the snake teeth will spread rapidly after seeing the blood, and the poisonous blood will feed back to the snake teeth.)
For Arrow, the effect of blood poison is quite good, it is equivalent to an advanced version of toxin, even if the toxin energy he masters is not as good as blood poison.

What Chen Xuan is most satisfied with is that the blood poison can grow and replenish on its own, without worrying about consumption, which saves him a lot of trouble.

It has been two days since the last time he set off. During this time, Chen Xuan has been looking for traces of creatures, and now he finally found one.

It's just that when he was shooting arrows just now, the figure of the super ancient strongman involuntarily appeared in his mind.

Still far too bad.

No matter how powerful the technology is, it is a dead thing after all, but the arrow shot by that one seems to be spiritual.

I don't know if I can do that too?

Originally, after getting the bed crossbow, Chen Xuan didn't bother to draw the bow and shoot arrows himself, but now, he ignited a fighting spirit again.

He needed another stronger bow, a giant bow, preferably similar to the one used by the strong man.

He has already thought about the materials used for the giant bow.

The bowstring is ready-made. I had replaced a Xunlu tendon on the North Wind Plateau before. It was originally intended to be used as a bowstring, and now I just use it.

The bow handle is made of metal.

Now his [Spirit] has entered the third level, and the flames emitted by the "flame jet module" are already quite high in strength, plus seal oil, although he has not tried it formally, but the forging of metals is no longer enough. question.

Quickly processed the big polar bear that had just been shot, cut off the fur, took out the bear bile, and burned out the fat.

……

An hour later, Chen Xuan came to the forging room.

The forge is small, barely big enough to hold a forging table and furnace.

The forging table is no more than a large computer desk, and the furnace is like a small mound as tall as a person.

Small but complete.

Chen Xuan used his mind to extend 10 units of metal in the material space, and then called it out from the space, only to see a huge gray metal curved stick appearing on the forging table.

The curved stick presents an M shape, which already has the prototype of a bow handle.

After advancing in [Spirit], he found that his ability to control materials had also strengthened.

Previously, he could only transform materials into simple shapes like cuboids, cones, and spheres, but he couldn't do more complex ones.

And the degree of thickness of the changing item is not ideal either.

Now, he can further manipulate the material into what he wants.

It's as if he directly transformed the metal into the prototype of the bow handle, but before changing it, he could at most transform into a thick metal stick.

At this moment, the crude bow handle is as thick as an adult's arm, and its length is about 1.6 meters. At this moment, the gray rough bow handle is quietly staying on the gray-black forging platform. The two are similar in color and almost blend together. .

It's just that in comparison, the forging table that looks like a computer desk looks a bit small.

Chen Xuan tried to pick up the crude bow handle.

Fuck, it's so heavy.

The bow handle made entirely of metal is by no means comparable to the previous wooden bow, and its weight is almost 20 times that of the wooden bow.

If it wasn't for owning the second-level [Power], I'm afraid I really couldn't lift it up.

Add a bowstring to such a bow handle, and then optimize it to make a metal bow.

but……

Chen Xuan closed his eyes and recalled the longbow held by that strong man.

That's the real killer.

The whole body is pitch black, nearly two meters in length, like a spirit snake.

There are four ferocious spikes on the upper and lower ends of the bow handle, but the strange thing is that these spikes are not facing outwards, but inwards.

Although Chen Xuan didn't know the reason, there must be a reason for such a design.

He is not satisfied with ordinary bows now.

If you want to do it, do your best.

If you want to add spikes to the existing foundation, this work is a bit delicate, and it cannot be done by mental extension alone.

It is impossible to use electric welding now, and we still have to burn fire and strike iron honestly.

Chen Xuan turned up the fixing clips on both sides of the forging table, and pressed it on the rough bow handle to keep it fixed.

Next, "Flame Throwing Module", activate!
Ice-blue flames shot out from his hands in an instant, pouring onto the forging platform, a wave of heat swept across, and the temperature of the entire forging room also rose steadily.

As time went by, the rough bow handle gradually changed from dull gray to bright red, but miraculously, the forging table, which was also made of metal, was not affected in any way.

Chen Xuan was surprised to see this scene.

I really don't know how the system does this.

He didn't put away the flame until the whole metal was completely incandescent.

With a thought, four spikes about 10 cm long appeared out of thin air.

Chen Xuan placed the spikes on the corresponding part of the bow handle, then raised the hammer and began to "jingling" a burst of slamming.

Due to the fixing clip on the forging table, no matter how Chen Xuan knocked it, the crude bow handle would not loosen at all, which also saved him the effort of fixing it, greatly speeding up the efficiency.

Under Chen Xuan's constant knocking, all the spikes were tightly welded in their corresponding positions.

That's about it.

Then, Chen Xuan stepped on the pedal under the forging table.

In the next second, a layer of liquid seeped out from the forging table. As soon as the liquid touched the hot and shiny crude bow handle, the sound of "puff, puff, puff" sounded, and a large amount of white mist drifted out.

But soon the white mist dissipated, and the rough bow handle was quenched in a very short time.

After finishing the bow handle, the next step is to install the bowstring.

With a thought in Chen Xuan's mind, Xunlu Jin appeared in his hands out of thin air.

The Xunlu Tendon is pure white, with a slight silvery glow, and it feels more like a steel bar in the hand.

However, logically speaking, deer tendons cannot be directly made into strings. They need to be torn apart one by one, and then twisted into one.

During this period, it is also soaked repeatedly in oil, so that the bowstring made will have good strength.

However, he has a system.

As a chosen person, how could I waste time on such a thing.

Chen Xuan simply tied the deer tendon to both ends of the bow handle and tied it. Such a rough technique is enough to make any experienced blacksmith feel the urge to bang his head against the wall after seeing it.

Crude metal bow done.

Then, Chen Xuan threw it to system optimization.

An orange light bloomed in front of his eyes.

It turned out to be an orange light effect, it seems that things will not be bad this time.

A look of excitement floated on Chen Xuan's face.

It took at least 6 hours to optimize all the orange-level props, so Chen Xuan packed up and continued on the road.

……

After sailing for two hours, a strange sound came to Chen Xuan's ears.

what sound?
Through these two days of exercise, he has slightly adapted to the sound in his ears. Although he can't fully accept it, at least it doesn't affect his daily life.

The strengthening of his mental strength allowed him to process a large amount of audio-visual information at the same time.

However, at this moment, he heard a "whoosh" sound.

It should be the sound of the wind. It is not surprising that there is wind at sea, but in such a world of ice and snow, howling cold wind is even more common.

But the voice he heard was completely different from the wind he had heard before.

It was like howling ghosts and howling wolves.

Chen Xuan felt a little bad in his heart. He felt that he came to the telescope to watch, and at the same time, the upper and lower sides of the "Kunpeng" also stretched out a lens, scanning all the movements around them in an all-round way.

This is?

The scene in front of him made Chen Xuan's heart skip a beat.

In the distance, an overwhelming snowstorm was sweeping from the rear of the "Kunpeng".

Countless ice and snow are mixed in it, like a substance, like a mushroom cloud produced by an explosion, but the color is snow white.

He had never seen such a violent snowstorm since he entered this glacier basin.

Needless to say, this was no ordinary weather disaster.

Chen Xuan frowned.

The wind and snow were still two or three kilometers away from him, but the speed spread very quickly.

Evasion is impossible.

The change of weather is all-round, unless he can dive into the water.

And even if it advances at full speed, it may not be able to exceed the speed of the wind and snow.

There is not much time left for him, and he must race against time to prepare for the snowstorm.

Chen Xuan quickly looked around in his field of vision and found the nearest iceberg.

Then, at full speed, he came to the back of the iceberg and stopped the propeller.

Although the iceberg can be used as a cover, just in case, he continued to manipulate the eagle claws to break through a part of the iceberg, intending to carve out a support point to firmly fix the "Kunpeng".

And just when Chen Xuan inserted the eagle claws into the small hole he dug out, a blizzard just happened to engulf the iceberg and the ship in an instant.

The iceberg didn't have much effect, and the crackling wind and snow whizzed and hit the surface of the "Kunpeng" hull continuously.

And Chen Xuan felt as if he had encountered an avalanche.

The impact of this blizzard will definitely not be smaller than what was encountered in the sea beast's esophagus.

But that's not even the biggest problem.

"Ccrunch."

Chen Xuan was shocked to find that the indestructible shell was actually being cracked inch by inch.

This has never happened before. In the past, there were only a few depressions at most.

The coldness in front of him seemed to have reached an incredible level.

After the metal cracked, the terrifying cold air seeped into the cabin in an instant, even the polar bear's fur failed to isolate it.

And on Chen Xuan's right hand side was the panel of the "environmental adjustment module". At this moment, the temperature numbers displayed on it fell like jumping off a cliff.

Within a few breaths, the temperature in the cabin dropped to minus 112 degrees Celsius!
Chen Xuan hastily activated the "temperature adjustment module" mode, and quickly heated the entire "Kunpeng".

Now it's not just a matter of keeping warm.

If this continues, the icy chill will almost turn the entire "Kunpeng" into powder.

After activating the heating mode, the temperature finally began to rise steadily, but the "oil" in the fuel tank began to be consumed rapidly.

Obviously, in order to deal with the frightening cold, the energy consumed has also been relatively greatly increased.

Chen Xuan's eyelids twitched as he watched the continuously consumed fuel.

When the "environmental adjustment module" is first activated, it takes 0.5 units of "oil" per hour to maintain the heating effect. Later, because of the polar bear fur to help keep warm, the energy consumption is further reduced.

However, at this moment, less than 5 minutes have passed, and the "oil" in the fuel tank has decreased by 5 units.

Calculated in this way, there will be more than 50 units of "oil" in one hour.

As the temperature of the "Kunpeng" warmed up, the outer metal shell of the ship also stopped breaking.

Chen Xuan activated the "balance module", first repaired the ship as a whole, and then began to calculate in his mind facing the material panel.

Now I have about 600 units of "oil" in total, including more than 200 units of seal oil.

However, the endurance effect of seal oil is equivalent to three times that of ordinary oil, which can be counted as nearly 1000 units of "oil" for him.

In addition, he has more than 900 units of "wood" and less than 800 units of "plant fiber".

Although these materials are far inferior to oil, but when that time comes, they can barely make up the number.

However, in today's inclement weather, so many materials add up to only enough for him to maintain heating for less than 30 hours.

The problem is that it is impossible to predict how long the snowstorm will last. What if the snowstorm still does not stop after 30 hours?
Moreover, after the continuous wind and snow, how much material can I have left to ensure future voyages?

He also couldn't think of any way to reduce consumption. After all, once the heating was stopped, it would not only mean death.

It should be said that it means destruction.

Chen Xuan was so confused for a moment that he couldn't think of any ideas.

At this moment, he heard a "click".

This made his heart tense. Any sound at this moment meant that something had happened, so he hurriedly followed the sound to check the situation.

It turned out that the ice block caught by the eagle claw pole broke slightly!
Before Chen Xuan could respond, the eagle claw racket broke completely in the next second.

After the "Kunpeng" lost its support, it was instantly engulfed by the strong wind and lost in the heavy snow.
