"Crunch".
The pulleys above the two vehicles began to brake and then locked onto the base.
Then the cable car doors opened, and Mo Ran and the others emerged.
Following the tower's stairs down, they soon appeared before the crowd.
"It's Mo Ran and his group!"
"They're back. It's been such a long time, it was really worrying."
"What's the situation like in the fog? Are there a lot of monsters? Let's tell you all."
Upon seeing the group appear, the players present stepped forward to inquire about what had happened in the mist.
They also recounted the attacks they encountered from other players after everyone left.
Although Mo Ran already knew through Shu Shu, she still replied to a few people accordingly.
The players continued to push their original defensive line outwards, enveloping the outer towers.
After finding a clearing, flat area, Mo Ran and the others released the iron ore they had collected.
The number is not large, but the size is like a small hill.
There are also two small hills of wood and stone nearby. If other players saw them, they would definitely shout that someone is cheating.
Mo Ran looked around and found that the woodworking benches and sawing equipment had been upgraded to stone-type equipment.
Not only has the volume changed, but the number of queues that can be manufactured simultaneously has also increased.
Looking at docks 1, 2, and 3, the slipways, slipways, and cranes inside the docks have now been completed.
The remaining players inside are currently raising the rails and platform to stone.
This will significantly increase its carrying capacity, allowing it to support later, more advanced vessels.
The remaining players went to docks 4, 5, and 6 to begin constructing the three-piece set of rails, slipways, and cranes.
"Once these three basic things are built, then we can officially begin building the ship."
However, upgrading this shipyard may also need to be put on the agenda.
Looking at the dock upgrade options on the blue folder, Mo Ran looked up at the six wooden docks.
A dock is a place for building and repairing ships, but its main function is to protect the ships inside from damage.
Since the shipyard has upgrade options, it means that this place is likely to be attacked.
As for whether it was a mutated dinosaur from the mist, or a human... well, that's hard to say.
"In short, we should first establish the basics, as the beginning is often the most difficult part."
Subsequent upgrades are actually quite simple; all that's needed is to invest in the corresponding material components.
The first construction not only requires relying on blueprints, but also requires following each step in the instruction manual.
If even one brick is placed in the wrong order, the item corresponding to that blueprint cannot be manufactured.
Conversely, once the basic components are manufactured, subsequent replacements can be achieved simply by investing in more advanced parts.
Mo Ran extracted the rewards from the blue folder, along with the accessory workbench.
Only one accessory workbench can be manufactured, and it requires a large amount of iron to manufacture.
All six furnaces used for firing stone bricks have been shut down, and the finished bricks have been piled up over half the area.
This quantity of stone bricks is enough for everyone to use for a while.
Iron ore was added, followed by a large amount of wood as fuel.
The six extinguished furnaces started working again, and the flames inside burned fiercely.
"The temperature of wood is not enough to deal with iron ore; it seems we need to find a new fuel."
The smelting process of iron ore is inherently slow, and when combined with wood that is not heated to a sufficient temperature, the time required is increased by more than half.
Looking at the firing times of the six furnaces in the folder, Mo Ran added the task of finding fuel to her goals.
It was already past 11 a.m., and the players present stopped what they were doing and began to rest and have lunch.
Mo Ran returned to the group of mice and began preparing the delicious lunch.
...
After lunch break, everyone continued construction without stopping.
"Are they so conscientious? They started working right away after resting for a bit?"
It seems that as long as their interests are tied together, no one will slack off, especially when those interests are related to life and death.
Watching the players gradually begin building, Mo Ran felt that the scene was quite surreal.
If a boss had such a hardworking employee, he would be ecstatic.
The 25 newly brought-back protective suits were quickly put to use, and the team had now grown to 49 people.
In addition, the group also brought a considerable number of carts and loading/unloading tools.
A carload of people and a carload of tools slowly made their way into the misty depths of the forest along the cable car.
The cable car soon arrived at the rest stop, and we took the elevator to the bottom floor.
The next period of time was spent picking up and cleaning up the iron ore around the rest point.
As Mo Ran collected iron ore, she ventured deeper into the area.
The surrounding ground began to turn into soft sand, and judging from the terrain, it seemed to be a place similar to grassland.
Rotten, blackened weeds were everywhere on the ground, and the soil was black and soft.
Mo Ran grabbed a handful of liquid and squeezed it tightly, causing strands of black liquid to seep out.
The liquid was very dark; it was unclear whether it was water or blood.
...
"Hmm, this thing is coal. I didn't expect to find a fuel alternative to wood so quickly."
Mo Ran discovered a half-buried black stone on the ground. After digging it out, she found it was a piece of coal.
There were very few coal pieces around; you could only find one at a distance, and each one was about the size of a palm.
"It seems that to obtain more and larger chunks of coal, we must go deeper."
After glancing at the unknown fog ahead, Mo Ran activated her battle armor and returned to the rest point.
It was already past five o'clock, after half an afternoon of collecting.
The group had already collected a considerable amount of iron ore, and had even transported it back several times by cable car.
Mo Ran also collected 7/10 in her spatial bracelet, and the total number collected by everyone was already extremely terrifying.
After loading the last load of iron ore onto the cable car, the group concluded their day-long collection journey.
