I should have thought of it long ago!
Linghu’s most abundant resources are not just fish in the lake, but also nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the lake shoreline!We are almost here, right in front!
He walked towards the lake with mosquitoes and said excitedly along the way.
The two stopped in a shallow by the lake.
The vegetation here is lush and easy to hide, and it is an excellent water intake point for both humans and animals.
As soon as Qianfeng reached out his hand and was about to point, Mosquito stepped forward before him and walked to a relatively flat rock to squat down.
He stretched out his index finger, gently wiped it on the stone wall, then approached and sniffed it, and tried to lick it.
The strong wind didn't care about the stingy eyes and asked quickly.
How about it?
He spitted on the ground, and the mosquito's face was half happy and sad.
Bah, why are there something new...
Strong wind: …
Although I accidentally tasted fresh bird droppings, one thing is certain that there is indeed a large number of struvites here.
The main component of this ore is Mg(NH4)[PO4]·6H2O, with an orthogonal crystal structure. It is not difficult to see just by looking at the chemical composition. How wide is this thing?
Not only that, when struvite forms a certain amount, the ammonia component in it will gradually oxidize to nitric acid under the action of nitrifying bacteria, and eventually accumulates under the soil in the form of potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate, magnesium nitrate, etc., forming the so-called nitrosodium.
This kind of nitrosodium, which is an associated ore, only needs to be cooked through simple methods, such as mixing and boiling with wood ash that does not filter out potassium and alkali water, and precipitating calcium and magnesium ions, to produce saltpeter containing a small amount of impurities!
Simply put, if you find bird droppings, you basically have mastered saltpeter.
And having saltpeter is basically equivalent to having gunpowder!
In fact, it is not just bird droppings. There are a large amount of heterogeneous excrement distributed on the shore of Linghu Lake. These excrements gradually weathered the sedimentary slab over time, and finally formed a sedroite ore.
As for why there are so many feces by the lake, it is actually easy to understand.
The planet had just entered the Wasteland Era in the early years and had experienced a period of severe cold that lasted nearly half a century.
During that period, Linghu Wetland Park, as the most abundant water resources in this area, had a large number of wild animals and livestock fleeing pastures living here.
These feces should have been left behind at that time.
It was not until the end of the severe cold period that the uninhabited urban area formed a more lush ecosystem that it gradually became deserted.
With this nitro earth, it’s not a big problem to get out the black gunpowder!Standing up from the ground, the mosquito looked at the wind excitedly, please help me, let's get more back.
Qianfeng asked in confusion.
There is nitrosodium and charcoal, but I remember there is sulfur in the formula of black gunpowder?Where are you planning to find sulfur?
If he remembered correctly, things like sulfur usually appear near craters or hot springs.
However, this area obviously does not look like these two things.
The mosquito was stunned for a moment.
Obviously he hadn't had time to think about this issue yet.
Well, if there is no sulfur, sulfate is actually OK, but the process is a little more troublesome... it should be quite easy to find, right?
The wind glanced around and shrugged helplessly.
Anyway, look for it first.
……
Unfortunately, there is no sulfur in the forest and no sulphuric acid is seen by the lake.
Think about it, too.
How could this thing appear in the wetland park?
Fortunately, just when the two were about to give up, they found some gypsum mines next to a small river extending outward from Linghu.
The ingredient of this thing is calcium sulfate. It can be used to break the carbon at high temperature to produce calcium sulfide and carbon dioxide, which is exactly the sulfate mineral they are looking for!
Why did I forget this?The mosquito slapped himself on the back of his head in annoyance. Two days ago, I saw Lao Bai and the others boiling cement, and it seemed that they had mixed this gypsum powder into it!Isn’t this thing a fucking calcium sulfate?
Qianfeng said with a wry smile.
Is this what is called dark under the light?
Anyway, the result was good. I picked up some gypsum ore and put it in a plastic bucket. The mosquito washed his hands, stood up and looked at Qianfeng and said, "Let's go, the materials are done, let's go back too."
Qianfeng nodded and followed him.
The two returned to the survivor's settlement together and were about to walk towards the cabin, but found that there was a commotion in front of the gate of the settlement.
I saw that the players who were working on the construction site had already gotten off the scaffolding at some point, and they were holding guys in their hands, surrounding a cow with two heads.
Next to the two-headed cow was a strange man.
He was wearing a leather jacket, with a flattering smile on his face, gestured strange gestures, and said something incomprehensible.
The mosquito stopped with curiosity.
Who is that person?New NPC?
I haven't heard of Ah going to update today.
Don't know, I'll ask...
Qianfeng was an action-oriented person. He put down the plastic bucket in his hand and walked towards the scrambled egg brother who was standing in front of the bacon rack watching the fun. He pulled him and asked curiously.
What happened there?Who is that person?
Brother Fried Egg hugged his arms and shook his head and said.
I don’t know the specifics. I heard from others that it seemed that our people met this guy on the way back from the construction site to transport stones. Then the guy didn’t say anything, just followed us, following us all the way here.
The strong wind approached and heard the players' discussions.
Why did this cow have two heads?
Domestic alien species?
This man followed us all the way!I bet he is definitely not a good thing, maybe it is a detailed work of the Predator!
Not necessarily, what if it is an NPC?
The reason is not reasonable. If it is really an NPC, it wouldn’t be impossible to communicate, right?
Could it be that the conditions did not trigger?
Why don’t we lock him up first and wait until the manager comes back?
Feeling the increasingly unkind eyes of the people around him, Sun Shiqi, who was surrounded by the crowd, felt under great pressure.
Although there was a revolver hidden under his leather jacket and the security was turned on, even if he had empty magazines, there were only 6 bullets.
And the residents of the shelter who were getting closer and closer would not give him a chance to fire six shots in a row.
One person and one hammer, he had to lie on the ground.
Let me say it again, I have no malice. I am a businessman. Do you understand the businessman?Damn it, no matter how bad it was 200 years ago, it wouldn’t be even a profession of businessmen, right?Or have you forgotten that you slept for too long?
Okay, calm down, to put it another way, I want to exchange these things on the cow's back with you for something you don't lack and I just need...anything is OK!Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to change. I will leave now and I will guarantee that I won’t bother you again!
Seeing that he couldn't communicate at all, Sun Shiqi had already thought of retreating.
However, these shelter residents had no intention of getting out of the way. Instead, they got closer and closer, and even took out ropes.
Sun Shiqi was desperate.
Just as he was thinking about whether to fight to the death, the blue coats surrounding him suddenly made way.
I saw a man carrying a corpse of a mutated reindeer on his shoulder and walked towards this side.
The mutated reindeer weighs at least 100 kilograms and is almost as big as a horse. However, the man was like nothing happened, carrying the prey that could cover him as usual.
Although he was wearing a harmless blue jacket with humans and animals, Sun Shiqi still smelled a trace of extremely dangerous aura from his body.
This guy...
Absolutely not an ordinary shelter resident!
The man threw his prey heavily on the ground and said a few words to his companions, and then the people obediently dispersed.
Looking at the man walking towards him, Sun Shiqi was nervous and nervous.
In an instant, a thought flashed through his mind.If I could hold the person in front of me hostage, I might be able to leave here smoothly.
However, his intuition told him that if he really did this, he would die in the moment he took action...
Who are you?Chu Guang looked at him and asked.
When Sun Shiqi heard the man talking to him, he was slightly stunned, and a surprise expression suddenly appeared on his face.
You can talk?No, I don't mean that, I mean you know the language here?
The language here refers to the language of people.
Before the war, the area in this area belonged to the territory of the People's Federation, and naturally the unified language was used.
Logically speaking, the residents of the shelter also use couplets, but I don’t know why these people are a little different.
Chu Guang frowned slightly and continued to say as he looked at him.
Now I'm asking you.
Answer me, who are you?
Hearing the bad intention in the tone, Sun Shiqi quickly explained.
My surname is Sun, my name is Sun Shiqi, and I come from Honghe Town next door!He is a businessman!
Honghe Town?
Hearing this strange place name, Chu Guang raised his eyebrows gently.
He only knew that this was Qingquan City, a river valley province located in the hinterland of Renlian.As for which other cities there are in the Valley Province, he is not very clear.
What are you doing in Qingquan City?
Sun Shiqi said carefully.
I am a businessman…of course I come here to do business.
Chu Guang's expression was not moved.
merchant?Then why did I listen to my companions saying that you followed them?
Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding!
Sun Shiqi waved his hand and explained laughter and cry.
I was originally planning to go to the Rock City, but on the way, I happened to see them wearing blue jackets. I thought there were shelters and other places nearby, so I wanted to exchange something with you... I am just a businessman, and I really don't mean to offend!
He didn't expect that these people were so sensitive.
If it was an ordinary survivor settlement, he would definitely not dare to lean over alone, but it would be different if it was a shelter.
These little cuties wearing blue jackets are famous for being silly and sweet in the wasteland, both easy to bully and easy to deceive.
They are usually elites of pre-war society, or descendants of elites, often claiming to be descendants of civilization, proud and arrogant.
He thought about following the past and following the past. At worst, he would be bombarded away as a beggar and would not suffer any losses.
Unexpectedly, after these people brought him in, they surrounded him without saying a word, and did not listen to him, and they had no intention of leaving.
It's simply not about martial ethics!
Without relaxing the expression on his face because of this guy's explanation, Chu Guang still looked at him expressionlessly and continued.
Whether it is offensive or not, you have indeed done something that offends us.I believe that tracking in any corner of this wasteland is not a friendly act, are you right?
Sun Shiqi was sweating profusely and nodded with his head.
...You are right.
Very good, it seems that you have realized your mistake. Chu Guang nodded, but you don’t have to worry, we are reasonable people, I have convinced my companions just now and told them that you are willing to apologize for your offending behavior.
Sun Shiqi nodded quickly.
That's right, I'm willing!
Hearing this sentence, Chu Guang finally showed a smile on his face.
That's OK.By the way, you shouldn't recommend that we choose it ourselves, right?
Sun Shiqi was stunned for a moment and looked at the man in front of him with a confused look on his face.
Wait, what does it mean to choose by yourself?
Chu Guang said for granted.
You can’t apologize empty-handedly, right?Otherwise, how did the apology come from?We don’t cheat you, at most we just pick something from your cow’s back.
Speaking of this, the smile that had appeared on Chu Guang's face gradually collapsed.
You shouldn't...can't bear to bear it?
Sun Shiqi looked even more ugly than crying, but he still bit his head.
Won't!Everything is in this car...you choose it.
These bandits!
What about the reserve and pride of being a civilized person?
He actually robbed a ragged wasteland guest!
It's like a wealthy man who is going to rob beg beggars on the roadside. Wouldn't these people blush at their behavior?
The air is shaking cold!
Sun Shiqi cursed in his heart, but he still smiled and did not dare to show any negative emotions.
He has gradually begun to realize that there seems to be an essential difference between this refuge and the refuge he has encountered.
As for Chu Guang, he didn't care what the businessman was thinking.
Because that doesn't matter at all.
Seeing this guy so sensible, a happy smile reappeared on his face.
Then I'm not polite.
Linghu’s most abundant resources are not just fish in the lake, but also nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on the lake shoreline!We are almost here, right in front!
