041. Excavation Of Mineral Resources
The two went back and forth several times, filling all the buckets placed at the mountain spring with water and carrying them back to the small raft.
Ning Feng used the same method to put them on the shelves.
While waiting for the sale, Ning Feng took the opportunity to explain the next task in order to save time.
He looked at An Yucheng and said calmly: "This island has a high risk factor. Your task today is just to fetch water."
"Don't set foot in other places to prevent being bitten by snakes again."
"As for the bucket, just sell it at the price I just listed."
"For the empty buckets you get from the transaction, you just need to fill them with water, put them on the shelves, fill them with water, and put them on the shelves."
"I estimate that it will be no problem to get thousands of buckets of water in one day."
"You may have to work harder today."
about this,
Ning Feng also admitted that he was a bit lazy. After all, transporting hundreds or thousands of barrels of water back and forth a day was still very hard even if it was not heavy and the distance was short.
But more than anything, Ning Feng still cared about An Yucheng.
After all, if An Yucheng is arranged to do other things, the more areas she will have to cover.
Goldfinger has clearly pointed out the threats to this island,
Leaving aside the wild boars, there are really venomous snakes this time.
If An Yucheng was really bitten while performing other tasks, the game would really be over.
There's no antivenom in their first aid kit!
so,
Compared with life safety, why not be tired?
Anyway, Ning Feng used his golden finger to detect it, and the area around the mountain spring was absolutely safe.
He actually did this for An Yucheng's own good.
After An Yucheng heard this, he naturally understood Ning Feng's good intentions.
In addition, the experience of being bitten by a snake on the last island was still fresh in her mind, and she didn't want to be bitten again!
So, he nodded and agreed, "Well, no problem, I will take care of the fresh water resources."
"As for you, you must be careful when entering the interior of the island!"
"What? Are you caring about me?" Ning Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Did you find that you can't live without me?"
An Yucheng blushed and argued: "Nonsense! How could I not be able to leave you!"
"I...I am just caring as a companion. After all, without you, my survival will become more difficult!"
"This is called mutual benefit!"
An Yucheng is not a liar.
She did have a tough mouth, but her face had already given her away.
When Ning Feng saw this, he smiled without saying anything.
It seems that the woman I cultivated is finally almost mature enough to eat~
"Okay, okay, whatever you say, I'll go check out the island first!"
After saying these words, Ning Feng carried two rattan baskets on his back again, holding a machete in one hand and a pickaxe in the other and went into the jungle.
.
Fortunately, the mineral resources are located in the center of the island.
It's not too close to the raft, but it's not too far either.
It's much closer than the fruits on the west side.
According to Goldfinger's instructions, Ning Feng didn't have to worry about getting lost or danger when walking through the jungle, and it was smooth sailing.
After traveling for about twenty minutes,
Ning Feng finally emerged from the jungle, and instantly felt as if he could "clear the clouds and see the sun".
This area is bare and has no vegetation growing. Mineral materials must be buried in the soil.
To put it figuratively, it is as if this island is a "bald Mediterranean". The central location is full of mineral materials, making it impossible for vegetation to grow, thus creating this scene.
Very good, very good,
Compared to the wet jungle, Ning Feng would naturally prefer to work in a dry and bright place where the sun is shining.
After Ning Feng accurately found the location of the iron ore through gold finger reading,
Ning Feng quickly started digging with a pickaxe.
Tsk,
Fortunately, yesterday he opened these tools from the "material treasure chest" and had a pickaxe.
Otherwise, if you only have a steel axe, it will not be easy to mine minerals, and the steel ax may be damaged, which is not worth the gain.
Ning Feng had little experience in mining minerals at Blue Star.
But with the help of Golden Finger, Ning Feng didn't feel any pressure at all about these tasks.
At least, the hint given by Goldfinger was very simple, just like digging the soil, you can see the minerals by digging through the soil.
Because Ning Feng's strength had increased, he just followed the instructions for a few minutes and dug out a small pit about 40cm deep.
As he swung the pickaxe again and dug like this, the sound of metal collision came from the pit!
This is a mine that has been dug!
Ning Feng quickly moved the pickaxe and looked into the pit, only to see a piece of silver-white iron ore mixed with a little black lying quietly in the pit.
"Is this iron ore?"
After all, it was the first time for Ning Feng to see the true appearance of Iron Ore, so he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
This was different from what he thought.
I thought iron ore should have a metallic look and texture at first glance.
Unexpectedly, the iron ore looked more like a large piece of ordinary stone.
Ning Feng put his hand into the pit, intending to try to lift it out.
But found,
The iron ore was larger than what he saw, and a lot of it seemed to be pressed down by the soil, so that he couldn't hold it at all.
have no choice,
Ning Feng continued to chisel towards the edge of the cave, intending to make a larger hole.
After a few more minutes of digging, the small pit gradually turned into a large pit.
Ning Feng tried to move it out again,
After his hands found the pressure points on both sides of the iron ore, he moved up with all his strength.
I didn't expect it to be very heavy.
The iron ore was only slightly moved and not moved.
Immediately,
Ning Feng increased his strength, tensed his whole body, and finally moved the iron ore out with one exertion.
Throwing it heavily to the ground, Ning Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This thing is much heavier than it looks.
Ning Feng is estimated to weigh 100 kilograms.
Fortunately, he took the "Power Fruit", otherwise he might not be able to get this thing out of the soil with just a pickaxe and golden fingers.
After having the experience of digging the first piece of iron ore,
Ningfeng's mining efficiency has gradually improved.
It's just one morning,
He dug out 36 pieces of iron ore and almost 300 kilograms of coal.
Considering that it was already dinner time, Ning Feng planned to take a rest, transport some minerals back to the small raft, and have a meal on the way.
However--
Transporting these things back is not an easy task...
The coal mine is okay, it looks like gravel, and you can put it in a rattan basket and transport it away.
But these iron ores are really bigger than the last.
Putting it into a rattan basket is obviously unrealistic.
Ning Feng could only rely on his hands to move one piece back first.
that's all,
After Ning Feng filled two rattan baskets with coal, he picked up an iron ore in both hands and walked towards the small raft.
