Chapter 139: Photo Stone
After a narrow escape, Li Fan and his party returned to the valley before dark.
The first thing Li Fan did after he came back was to boil himself a large bucket of hot water.
He even redeemed the soap and washcloths specifically.
An hour later, Li Fan reappeared in front of everyone like a freshly steamed prawn, with no part of his body that was not red.
Ying, who knew the reason, all looked at Li Fan with weird faces, with an expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
Only they know how much psychological damage the big black bear gave Li Fan with disgust before it left.
However, everyone felt that the big black bear of the 5th level of monsters definitely did not dislike Li Fan because of the smell.
After all, the big black bear can speak without hesitation in the face of a monster that has just been incontinent!
As for why the big black bear let them go, no one knows the specific reason, the only thing that is certain is that it has something to do with Li Fan.
Li Fan has no clue about this.
In the end, everyone can only attribute it to good luck.
...
After that, Li Fan began to count the harvest this time.
First, 8 cubic meters of sulfur.
There is no rush to make black powder, so Li Fan asked people to find a cave to store all the sulfur.
This was followed by 25 cubic meters of volcanic ash.
There are about 12 tons of volcanic ash in 1 cubic meter, and Li Fan harvested almost 30 tons of volcanic ash on this trip.
It looks like a lot, but in fact it is more than 100 tons of concrete, which is only enough to build the valley entrance into a city gate.
Thinking of the huge amount of concrete that will be needed to build the house later, Li Fan couldn't help but start to have a headache.
Originally, according to the plan, they planned to carry the volcanic ash back many times.
However, the sudden appearance of a big black bear of a level 5 monster completely destroyed their plan. Now who would dare to carry volcanic ash on the volcano?
It seems that the construction of new houses has to be put on hold for the time being.
However, Li Fan does not allow any delay in the construction of the city gate.
As long as the city gate is built well, this valley can be considered theirs, and only this can't make any mistakes.
For this reason, Li Fan found the dwarves immediately regardless of the darkness of the sky, and asked them to make a batch of ancient Roman concrete with volcanic ash.
In this way, at dawn tomorrow, they can just test how high the initial strength of this concrete is.
...
In addition to sulfur and volcanic ash, what Li Fan brought back were the corpses of volcanic ants and black crystals.
The corpse of the volcanic ant was not big, with no flesh at all, and it was worthless except for a first-level magic core.
But their casings are decent material.
Interestingly, perhaps because these volcanic ants often feed on stones and ores.
Dozina and the others took off the shells of the volcanic ants, and after trying to forge them, they discovered that these shells can be forged into different shapes like metal.
Dozina immediately forged a piece of armor out of these shells.
The result is that this armor has reached the middle-grade ordinary level. Not only does it have good defensive power, it is also extremely light, and it doesn't feel too much weight when worn.
The one who reacted the most was Anna.
The environment in which she was born made Anna understand the value of the shell of the volcanic ant in an instant.
You must know that even in the powerful Silver Wolf tribe, most of the fighters can only wear rough leather armor.
If every orc warrior could wear this kind of armor, the combat power of the entire Silver Wolf tribe would be at least a little higher.
Li Fan naturally also realized the value of this armor.
If this kind of armor is used to arm their three-race mixed group, it will definitely increase their strength by a bit.
It's a pity that the volcanic ants, like the volcanic ash, are temporarily untouchable because of the big black bear.
In addition, the last harvest of Li Fan and his party was black spar.
This is what Li Fan is looking forward to the most. This kind of black crystal looks precious. It would be great if it is a precious ore.
To Li Fan's surprise, when Li Fan found Aoki and Bai Qi, the two oldest guys didn't even know this black crystal.
Just when Li Fan was about to give up, Alicia who happened to be passing by suddenly said, "Isn't this a picture stone? Where did the young master find this kind of stone?"
"Shadow Stone? Do you know this kind of stone?" Li Fan handed Alicia the black crystal in his hand.
Alicia took the black crystal and looked at it several times, and then said with certainty: "Yes, this is the photo stone."
Then Alicia explained the photo stone.
The photo stone is an extremely magical stone, comparable to the witch's alchemy.
It is a magical stone that cannot be thought to be made.
Just because this kind of stone can leave pictures of what happened in the past, it is named photo stone.
Once this kind of stone was discovered, it has been popular for a long time, and the price was even as high as one gold coin at that time.
But then someone discovered that this kind of stone not only needs a steady supply of energy to retain images, but also leaves images randomly.
Maybe you want to keep your own smiling face, but you didn't leave any image after staying in front of the photo stone for several hours, but when you left the photo stone, you suddenly succeeded in leaving an image.
Under the two flaws, the photo stone quickly faded out of people's vision.
Even if it is given to children to play, it is disliked to waste the energy provided by the magic core.
This has led to the fact that no one is willing to pick up this photo stone even if it is thrown by the roadside.
Hearing this, Li Fan probably knew what the photo stone was.
To put it simply, it is a broken camera, which not only needs an expensive magic core as a battery, but also cannot take pictures as you like, and can only take some pictures randomly.
This kind of stone is not of much use to Li Fan. After all, if he needs it, he can directly exchange the bond value for a camera. How can he use this garbage...
"Forehead……"
Li Fan, who was about to say that the Photo Stone is rubbish, was taken aback for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and a slightly obscene smile couldn't help but appear on the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, he hastily saved the photo stone in the space ring carefully.
It's like preserving a huge treasure.
...
Early the next morning, a group of people couldn't wait to test the strength of ancient Roman concrete.
The concrete the dwarves had made last night had roughly set.
After the experiment, everyone was sure that the strength of this concrete was definitely higher than that of plant ash cement.
Moreover, Li Fan also knows that the biggest characteristic of ancient Roman concrete is that the longer it is, the higher its strength is. If it can be soaked in seawater, it will not rot after thousands of years, but it will be surprisingly strong.
With this kind of concrete combined with steel bars, the strongest city gates and towers can definitely be built.
The reason why there are city gates and towers is because what Li Fan intends to build is a tower-type city gate.
To put it simply, the lower part is the city gate with doorways, while the upper part is the city tower and the arrow tower.
This classic city gate is definitely one of the best choices for defending against enemies in the era without hot weapons.
