Chapter 843 Cold Rain Erosion (2)
She and Zhong Qingwei had previously fought with the Snow Mountain Dragon Turtle here. The Snow Mountain Dragon Turtle could manipulate these minerals to attack people, not to mention smashing them to pieces.
In addition, when everyone was blasting the mountain to rescue people, the entire mine was blown into chaos.
"It's okay. Let me study what this mine is made of. If it is top-grade diamond, it doesn't seem right."
When Su Ranran and Shu Lingyi arrived at the mine, Shu Lingyi told her about his "speculation" and wanted Su Ranran, the mining tycoon, to give some advice.
When Su Ranran saw this ore again, she felt its texture, feel and weight, and shook her head. She even began to wonder: "The main feature of diamond is that it is pure and transparent, and its hardness is extremely high. It doesn't matter if your color is not right..."
Although diamonds can be impure and transparent, and come in a variety of colors, the system has named them as top-quality diamonds, so they must be free of impurities.
Among the top-quality diamonds, only those that are purely transparent and free of impurities, but have a very high dispersion refractive index and are extremely brilliant are qualified.
But now this thing is obviously not purely transparent, but orange.
As if wrapped in a layer of resin, the warm orange color makes the mineral look a bit hazy.
But I have to say that it is very hard, and this statement is correct.
In terms of each of its basic dimensions, among the various sizes of ores found here, there is not a single piece of debris, all are intact!
In other words, so far nothing has been found that has greater destructive power than it.
"But, it's useless to speculate after looking at it for a long time. This is always unknown..."
[They hide their bodies in the cold weather and release their true selves in the high temperature.]
This message from Xiao Ai appeared on the detail panel where she was viewing these unknown minerals. Shu Ling understood it instantly and realized what Xiao Ai meant by the tip.
All this means is that the reason this mineral has remained unknown is because it has hidden itself.
In other words, the resin-like layer on the outside was indeed as she thought, wrapping the ore and isolating it from everyone's inspection.
"What's the point of this if I can't find out?"
Everyone checked repeatedly while mining, but no matter what size or shape the ores were, they would only show the word "unknown".
Everyone exited to check the details. Shu Lingyi also wanted to see what the ore really looked like, so he decided to try it at high temperature.
"Perhaps we need some special means to check the ore formed in winter. If we burn it, we may be able to find the original shape."
"What Yi Yi said makes some sense. Tell them to go back and burn it, or soak it in snow water to see if it works."
Su Ranran continued the conversation. She was taking the lead here. The crude mines she had been to were much safer.
The journey was extremely smooth, and we dug everywhere, almost never coming back empty-handed.
However, there was no way for everyone to go and check it out at the moment, so Shu Lingyi and Su Ranran agreed to let Luo Zhiqing try all the methods they had thought of.
For example, put the ore in a fireplace or a furnace to experience high-temperature calcination, or throw it into snow water to soak. With Luo Zhiqing's luck, he will definitely be able to get it!
The other groups of people gathered at this place and began to mine these unknown minerals everywhere, trying to clean up the mess first.
"This place was originally a cave, and the mineral vein and the cave should be adjacent to each other. However, after the collapse, we still have to explore the specific location of the mineral vein from here."
After mining as much as possible, what remains is the part buried deep underground, and the real mineral veins whose exact location has not yet been found.
The middle location is difficult to excavate because of cave collapse and explosion.
If people just rely on shovels to dig, it may take a long time. Su Ranran is ready to borrow a thunder cannon from Xin Jing when the time comes.
According to the power of the Thunderbolt Cannon, when it is thrown here, it will definitely explode into a big pit, which will make it convenient to grope over from both ends of the pit. It will always be okay to spend a little more time.
"I think it's okay. Anyway, the hardness and defense of these unknown minerals are definitely high enough. There's no need to worry about them being damaged by the explosion." Shu Lingyi was not panicking at all.
When we returned to the territory, it started to rain lightly outside mixed with medium hail. Medium hail could be seen everywhere along the way. We even picked up some hailstones with materials on our way back.
The remaining players who were outside began to learn to use the ice drill to drill around themselves. The drill bit of the ice drill rotated at high speed, and the power was terrifying.
These hailstones will instantly turn into a pile of broken ice when they touch the drill bit. If there are people or other materials inside, they will turn into a thin stream of light and fall to the ground.
It feels like killing monsters and getting equipment in the game, and many players like to do this.
【Thirteen Yi】: "If you ask me, this is the best time to let Qingqing come out and drill into the hailstones. It will be a great scene."
[Yi Ling]: "Indeed, I think so too, but it seems that medium-sized hailstones don't drop anything good, and small hailstones don't drop the highest quality items, but only rare ones."
This is also why Shu Lingyi had never heard of epic items being obtained from small hail in the past few days, and now the upper limit of medium hail has been raised to rare quality.
It’s just that the drops of ordinary quality have become less, and the rare quality has become higher.
[Thirteen Yi]: "Except for the monster feces, everything else is of very low quality, but it's good enough to be honest."
He returned to his own territory with a large amount of unknown ore, and first went to Luo Zhiqing's house to see if there were any changes to the ore after high temperature.
As soon as I arrived at Luo Zhiqing's house, I saw a mineral placed in her fireplace emitting a beautiful warm light.
"You've come at the perfect time. It's just beginning to bloom. I think it's almost done. Come and have a look!"
"Then we came at the right time!" The three of them came forward arm in arm, Shu Lingyi was even more delighted, while Su Ranran stared at the ore inside with curiosity.
The light gradually converged in about 5 to 10 minutes and turned into a beautiful diamond.
It is somewhat similar to the diamond on the Blue Star before. The whole diamond is absolutely pure, clear, colorless and free of impurities.
The translucence brought out by the glow of fire is as if flames are passing through it. It is indeed a top-grade diamond, and this degree of purity is extremely rare in nature.
Most of them will have some flaws or impurities to a certain extent.
Under the gazes of the crowd, the outer layer of resin gradually melted away, revealing the complete diamond in front of the three people.
At first I thought this diamond was incredibly beautiful, and it was much bigger than a diamond, so I couldn’t figure out what made it so special.
Luo Zhiqing used tongs to take the diamond out of the fireplace. When she picked it up, the light from the fire shone through the diamond, which was as bright as the colorful abalone at that time.
The faint golden light mixed with the legendary quality, contrasting with the warm orange-red color, reflects and fills the entire living room, as brilliant as a rainbow, making people unable to take their eyes away.
"Hiss - is this the best quality diamond? It's so beautiful!"
The most bizarre thing is that after refracting these lights, as the golden light symbolizing legendary quality gathers, these lights will slowly converge into an orange-yellow flame flower, swaying in the light and shadow in the house, bringing warmth to Luo Zhiqing and the other two.
"How strange! It's warm and comfortable." Luo Zhiqing exclaimed.
"This thing is really special. Let me see who you are—"
Su Ranran was looking forward to this, and as soon as Luo Zhiqing took it out, she immediately went forward to check the details.
[Top-quality diamond: a masterpiece from nature, pure and without impurities, wrapped in a unique resin in extremely cold temperatures, thus completely solidifying and sealing off the dust. Only after absorbing enough heat will its true appearance be revealed.]
[Function: It can absorb cold and convert it into heat. It is also extremely hard and indestructible. There is almost nothing in the world that can destroy it. It can be used as a material to be synthesized in various buildings, weapons, tools, etc.]
"No... am I reading this correctly? What does this last sentence mean?"
When Shu Lingyi saw the last sentence in the details, he felt as if he had found a treasure, like a huge surprise hitting his head.
What she originally wanted to achieve on the Haori Corundum, she actually saw an opportunity to achieve on this diamond!
"It means that this ore can be put into buildings or weapons, tools, and armor for synthesis, right?"
She was still a little bit incredulous, so she asked her two sisters again. Seeing them both nod, Shu Lingyi became even more excited.
If top-grade diamonds are truly indestructible, then they should be synthesized in pharmacies, restaurants, granaries, or greenhouses.
This can increase their ability to resist hail, and there is no need for frequent repairs and reconstructions.
Everything else was fine, but every time the granary was rebuilt, a lot of the grain inside would be wasted, which really distressed Shu Lingyi.
"But when you put it in the fireplace, the temperature is not high enough, so the resin on the outside melts slowly. If the temperature is higher, like the high temperature in a furnace, it will only take half an hour to melt. There's no need for a fireplace to take so long."
Luo Zhiqing took out another piece of tempered diamond in her hand. Every time she saw it, she felt that this big diamond was really beautiful.
"I suggest you take this ore to Xia Ribinbin when the time comes. He has many furnaces and they are more efficient."
Luo Zhiqing summed it up and found that the things in the fireplace were the last to be quenched.
Of the other two ores, one was motionless, and the other had been completed long ago.
However, Luo Zhiqing wanted to wait until Su Ranran and Shu Lingyi came back before sharing the news.
As a result, before she had the chance to tell them, the two of them came back together.
Just at this time, the ore in the fireplace had completed high-temperature quenching, so she simply pulled the two of them over to watch.
"Okay then, let's arrange the ore like this first, and then ask Xia Ri and the others to send all of them to the furnace together."
"As for the first batch of top-grade diamonds, give them to Lord Han Wu first, and make a batch of alloy wrists to see how they go."
The matter was settled, and Luo Zhiqing and Su Ranran nodded in approval of the arrangement.
After all, with the alloy wristbands, they can go out and pick up more bargains, and many good things will drop from the hail.
However, relying solely on a tough Lei Feng hat is not enough to resist the damage that may occur. For example, an ice drill requires players to use it continuously, which is a great test of arm strength.
With the alloy wristband, not only does the strength increase, but if there is any emergency and the ice drill is not in time, you can still raise your hands to protect yourself.
"Okay then. I'll weave more frost silk brocades. If the alloy wristbands are really useful, I'll start mass production."
Everyone contributes some materials to each other and then sells them to the outside world. Players come to buy them, and then they can easily go out and pick up hail.
As a virtuous cycle, it will make the environment of the entire gaming area more friendly.
Throughout the day, the falling hail made players love and hate it, but it did not affect the fact that many players died, and it was not because of the natural disaster of the winter solstice.
Instead, it was a flood of snow and water yesterday that caused the illness of many players to rapidly worsen. Some died yesterday, and some could not hold on until today.
It can even be said that some players' condition could have lasted another week, but after soaking in water, the chills buff worsened in a short period of time.
Therefore, by tonight, the number of survivors shown on the entire public screen was less than 10,000.
9941 people. Logically, the number of survivors in the entire game area should still decrease, but the batch of simplified version of donkey-hide gelatin was finally produced today!
Even though it is a simple version, if the materials are used well, it can be of top quality among epic ones.
If compared with the legendary quality of Nine Tribute Glue, the top-grade medicine, it is definitely much worse.
[Qi Dancing Qingying]: "This donkey hide gelatin is not of high quality. The medicinal effect is OK, but it is not good enough if used alone."
[Dancing Shadows]: "To maximize the efficacy of the medicine, it is recommended to use a variety of other ingredients to amplify its effects. This will also be good for the condition."
[Suspicion]: "I wonder what combinations can be used to enhance the effect. Let's learn them quickly!"
[Yunbao]: "I know a little about this! Rose and red date cake contains donkey-hide gelatin."
[Yi Ling]: "Also, you can make soup and porridge with Chinese medicinal herbs, which can have a very good effect."
It can promote blood circulation and relieve pain, enhance immunity, nourish yin and moisten dryness, calm the mind and reduce swelling, replenish the middle and benefit qi, etc.
At the same time, it can relieve the cough caused by the aversion to cold buff, severe hemoptysis, diarrhea, vomiting, dizziness and palpitations to a certain extent.
There are only so many herbs to pair together, so restaurants have started to offer various combinations, which, when rotated throughout the day, can maximize their effectiveness.
[Coco Monster]: "It really works! Brother Qi is saved!"
Qi Nanqiao's illness was already very serious. If it had been a day or two later, he would have died.
Ruan Keke has been using various drugs to keep herself alive these days, and has only managed to get to this day.
Drink a bowl of red dates and pigeon soup. It is said that this soup contains donkey-hide gelatin, astragalus, red dates, wolfberry and other medicinal materials, and it is more effective for men.
Qi Nanqiao was already lying in bed in that condition. He had been vomiting everything he ate for the past two days. He was tortured by the repeated illness and was now in a critical condition.
His face was as pale as paper. Most of the players who had survived the game to this day were not skinny, but after being infected with the cold buff, they became emaciated and skinny under the torture.
After drinking the freshly brewed medicine soup, at least the diarrhea and vomiting stopped, the cough was relieved, and I even stopped coughing up blood.
There was a little bit of rosy glow on his pale face, and his body temperature rose a little.
【The Sorrowful Heavenly Demon】: "I feel much better after drinking it!"
[Foodie Pipi]: "I drank porridge. After drinking it, my whole body felt warm, and it felt like all my internal organs were rejuvenated!"
[Big Ginger]: "It can invigorate blood circulation and replenish blood. The various elements contained in it are all great tonics for blood, injecting new vitality. Fresh blood flows into the internal organs, which will definitely bring new vitality."
[Yin who loves to read novels]: "Finally I can eat normally, otherwise I feel like I have vomited out all the acid in my stomach!"
[Zi Buyu]: "The effect is so good now. I dare not imagine how amazing the effect of this Nine Tribute Glue will be."
After Shu Lingyi drank the porridge and soup, he also took a few pieces of red date cakes made by Yun Bao and rushed to the clinic.
Zhong Qingwei has been in a coma for these days and has not woken up yet. If he hadn't drunk some life-saving pills and soup to ensure that his blood volume and satiety would not be too low.
The time spent in coma alone is enough to kill him. Now that we have the red dates, donkey-hide gelatin and pigeon soup, we can force-feed it to him. Who knows, there may be a chance that he will wake up.
Many people gathered around. Jing Zhao and Shu Ying stood aside. As for people like Zhong Xiu, Su Lingjue, Lu Yizhen, Luo Zhiqing and others, they also gathered around the bed.
"Comrade Zhong, wake up and have some soup."
Shu Ling shouted as usual, first reached out and squeezed Zhong Qingwei's hand, then touched his head.
After carefully observing the facial application, I found that there was no change: "If you don't wake up, I will have to feed you."
She helped the man up and half leaned him against herself. She held the bowl in one hand and pinched Zhong Qingwei's mouth with the other hand, opening it a little.
He successfully fed the pigeon soup bit by bit. As the warm red dates, donkey-hide gelatin and pigeon soup went down his stomach, the soup turned into a warm current, carrying the mild and non-irritating medicinal power throughout his limbs and bones.
While Zhong Qingwei was in a daze, he felt that the coldness in his back, legs, and chest was finally dispelled.
“Hmm——” His brows furrowed slightly, and he let out a muffled groan, his eyelashes trembling.
Shu Lingyi naturally sensed these subtle changes in Zhong Qingwei, and his face was filled with joy, his eyes sparkling: "Comrade Zhong is about to wake up!"
"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!" Zhong Xiu looked at Zhong Qingwei's appearance, and his fingers trembled at first, and then his eyes opened slightly.
Jing Zhao immediately stepped forward to take over, laid Zhong Qingwei down, and Shu Ying took his pulse, and the two of them checked his physical condition together.
"What's happening to me?" Zhong Qing had just woken up and was still confused. His memory stayed at the moment when the two were rescued.
"Don't move, check it carefully first." Shu Ling stretched out his hand and held him down.
Zhong Xiu was also crying with joy, but he quickly wiped away the tears: "You have been unconscious for many days, silly boy, and you finally woke up."
Zhong Qing did not resist, but just felt the closeness revealed by Shu Lingyi...
The memory was instantly brought back to that dragonfly-like kiss in the cave.
"!"So, he was with Comrade Yi Yi? !
But, but he hasn't officially confessed yet!
With a nervous mood, when someone pinches your legs, arms, back, etc., your muscles tense unnaturally.
Then came the pain—
He gasped, his expression painful.
Shu Ling suddenly stared at his mother nervously: "What, what, what happened?!"
"Why is he so nervous when he wakes up? His muscles are tense and he has pulled the old injury again. It must be painful."
Jing Zhao started complaining as soon as he opened his mouth.
"That's understandable. When he woke up, there were so many people around him, and they were all feeding him medicine—"
Su Ranran covered her mouth and laughed secretly, imitating Shu Lingyi's previous behavior: "Oh, Comrade Zhong woke up and took the medicine..."
However, because the acting was too artificial and awkward, it was a bit like the scene in Water Margin where Pan Jinlian feeds medicine to Wu Dalang.
Everyone couldn't help laughing and their shoulders twitched.
After all this commotion, the previous atmosphere with a hint of sadness disappeared, and everyone became happy and wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, all of them celebrating the joy that Zhong Qing had not woken up.
Soon Jing Zhao and Shu Ying finished checking Zhong Qingwei's physical condition and took out a can of Black Jade Ointment.
"His physical condition is still okay, but it takes 100 days to heal a broken bone. If he uses this Black Jade Ointment in the game, he will be back to normal in three to five days."
This aspect of the game is still better than on Blue Planet, as the healing power of game items is terrifyingly strong.
The coldness in Zhong Qingwei's body has now been dispelled. Using the Black Jade Ointment to repair his bones and tendons will not leave any sequelae.
"But you still need to be careful about what you eat these days. Try to eat foods that are mainly made of donkey-hide gelatin, such as donkey-hide gelatin red date cake, or donkey-hide gelatin solid yuan cake, and drink black rice donkey-hide gelatin porridge, etc."
Shuying also added: "Don't eat greasy and spicy food, it can easily irritate the stomach and intestines and cause vomiting and diarrhea again."
After Shuying finished giving instructions, Jingzhao continued to add a few words: "He is seriously injured. It is best not to make any large movements in the next few days. It is better for him to continue lying down."
"After applying the Black Jade Ointment and restoring the previously injured bones and tendons, you can get out of bed."
"Congratulations! It's the best news that he's fine now. Since he's fine now, we don't have to stay here any longer, right? I brought some red date donkey-hide gelatin cake for you to eat."
Su Ranran handed over a bag of pastries with a smile, and the others followed suit by taking out a portion of food and placing it on the small table next to the bed.
"Yes, yes. There is also the fish maw and lean meat porridge that Yunbao specially cooked. It also contains donkey-hide gelatin. It is good for your health and can also fill your stomach."
"Mr. Zhong should have a good rest, eat more nourishing food, and take good care of your body."
Everyone put down their things and started to retreat, wanting to leave the remaining space for Su Shulingyi and Zhong Qingwei.
