Chen Wangping walked around the yard and finally chose to place the meteorite golden eagle pet egg between the planting area and the basement.

The moment it was put down, the meteorite golden eagle pet egg couldn't wait to absorb the surrounding sunlight.

In the field of vision, the light around the egg is distorted.

At the same time, a golden hatching progress bar appeared on the Meteorite Golden Eagle pet egg.

Chen Wangping stood nearby and observed carefully, and found that the progress bar rose by 1% every five minutes.

"Normally it should take more than eight hours, so I can just sunbathe for three hours before sunset today and another five hours tomorrow morning."

After calculating the time, Chen Wangping looked around and found nothing unusual.

It seems that returning to the city to hatch eggs is the right choice.

Chen Wangping stretched and prepared to use the manufacturing table to build a steel furnace first.

After connecting to the power supply, he placed five ordinary steel plates and twenty stones on the first-level manufacturing table and selected the steel furnace blueprint.

[Steel furnace is being built, estimated to take 5 minutes]

While waiting, Chen Wangping went to the kitchen and prepared to stew some mutton.

Eating roasted lamb all the time can easily cause you to get irritated, so you need to change your taste.

He cut two large pieces of mutton, put cold water into the pot after processing, added black fern and wild onion, sprinkled a handful of salt, and started stewing directly.

After finishing all this, the steel furnace was also built.

Chen Wangping walked over, took down the steel furnace, and placed it directly in the corner of the yard.

The brand new steel furnace is still bright silver and looks very technological. It occupies a similar area to the stone furnace and still has a discharge port, a fuel port and a feed port arranged in a triangle.

"It looks so beautiful." Chen Wangping clicked on the properties to check:

【Steel Furnace】

【Level: Secondary production equipment】

【Processing method: manufacturing table】

【Supported fuel: wood, coal, solid fuel】

[Number of raw materials stored: 150]

Fuel storage capacity: 30

[Effect - High temperature smelting: The metal is melted into a fixed shape through the high temperature of combustion]

[Effect - Recycling: Steel furnaces can recycle metals from obsolete equipment]

【durable:】

【Note: Keep working hard to upgrade! 】

After reviewing the properties, Chen Wangping nodded with satisfaction. "The durability has increased fourfold, and the raw material and fuel storage functions have been added, which is equivalent to automatic smelting."

"It also has the added benefit of recycling, so the equipment that is eliminated in the future won't be wasted."

That’s really good.

It’s different after upgrading.

Standing next to the feed port, Chen Wangping threw five iron plates in and saw the prompt:

【Current material: (55)】

Chen Wangping took out more coal and threw it into the fuel port.

I threw three pieces in and couldn't throw them anymore.

"The materials and fuel consumption for smelting in steel and stone furnaces remain the same."

Chen Wangping clicked start and looked at the smelting time expectantly.

[Steel melting in progress, estimated time: 1 minute 30 seconds.]

Double the efficiency!

"However, there's a new type of fuel called solid fuel. It seems to be made from petroleum, so it won't be available anytime soon."

Chen Wangping once went to inquire, but even Lao Zhang didn't know where resources similar to oil could be found.

This kind of important resource is probably only known to people in the inner city.

Chen Wangping was not in a hurry. There was enough coal now anyway, so he could talk about it later.

Soon, a raging flame ignited in the middle of the steel furnace, and the scorching heat spread out. The iron plates inside occasionally made some crackling sounds of impurities being burned.

One minute and thirty seconds later, a steel plate slid out from the discharge port.

Chen Wangping opened the blueprint and took a look. "The second-level manufacturing platform requires a total of five steel plates. There are only two steel plates left in the storage compartment. Just wait three more minutes."

While the steel furnace was smelting here, he did not let the original stone furnaces idle. He stuffed iron ore and coal into each of them and worked hard to smelt iron plates.

To be honest, steel equipment is indeed good, but it consumes too many resources. It takes 25 pieces of iron ore to build a steel furnace.

In contrast, a stone furnace only requires 30 stones to build, which is enough to fill a large space.

Chen Wangping sighed helplessly, "Let's just use this steel furnace for now. When I have time during the day, I'll use it to manually load the stone furnace. If I don't have time, I'll use the other steel furnace to automatically smelt it."

The gap is too big and iron ore is needed everywhere.

After all, we still have to continue mining at Blackrock Mine.

Chen Wangping always felt that there must be something special in the light blue ore, and he could explore it as long as it was safe.

Even if we don't discover any secrets, we have to bring out some blue iron ore.

While the price of blue iron ore is high now, quickly buy a small mine and develop it in peace.

Three minutes later, Chen Wangping placed the blue steel plate, iron gear set, circuit board and the light blue version of the manufacturing table on the ordinary manufacturing table, selected the second-level manufacturing table and started to build it.

[Second-level manufacturing platform is being built, estimated to take one hour]

Chen Wangping stretched lazily. "Another hour. I hope the speed of building the secondary manufacturing platform can be improved."

He turned his head and looked at the meteorite golden eagle pet egg next to him.

Everything is working fine now.

Chen Wangping picked up the Qinggang pickaxe and ran to the coal mine, ready to dig for an hour.

Smelting has been very expensive recently, so we need to dig more.

After entering the coal mine, he took out the green steel pickaxe and smashed it down at the mine point with full force.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

This time the power was exactly 75%, and the force was just right. One hit of the pickaxe knocked out three pieces of coal.

Chen Wangping picked up the coal with great satisfaction and continued to smash the mine point one by one. When the cooling time was up, he would continue to accumulate strength to smash the coal.

An hour later.

Chen Wangping suddenly saw a fiery red light appear in his field of vision.

The light was hidden in the rock walls of the coal mine and was rapidly growing brighter.

Chen Wangping was shocked when memories came to his mind.

There is actually a piece of jet in this mine?

All of a sudden, he understood why Wang Jin was so anxious to kill him.

It turns out that Wang Jin knew about this piece of coal, and he was worried that if he delayed for a few more days, he would discover it himself!

Chen Wangping was quite emotional, thinking that he had returned at the right time.

He picked up the pickaxe and without gathering strength, swung it quickly and hit the rock wall. After a few minutes, he saw the true appearance of the coal spirit.

The newly born coal spirit is fiery red all over, with an extremely smooth surface that looks shiny. However, after a while it will turn into a deep black.

Chen Wangping swung his pickaxe and carefully chiseled out the piece of jet.

He found that this piece of jet was as big as a human head, a circle larger than the previous piece of jet. After it appeared, its surface emitted waves of black in all directions.

Previously, the original owner's parents relied on this fluctuation to find the location of the jet.

Without waiting for the vibration to spread out, Chen Wangping immediately reached out and pressed the jet essence, putting it directly into the storage compartment.

Come here!
