Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife

#��Q It was already noon when Zhang Shi woke up. As soon as he went out, he bumped into Zhao Feng. Before he could speak, Zhao Feng pulled him away and trotted all the way to the research center.

I saw Gong Yi holding a shiny musket in his hand. The gun body made of fine steel reflected dazzling light under the sunlight.

There is also a wooden box on the workbench in front of him, filled with black powder and polished steel balls. Zhang Shi smiled. He didn't expect Gong Yi to be so powerful. He managed to get out the musket and gunpowder in one morning.

Seeing Zhang Shi coming, Gong Yi couldn't wait to introduce his newly made musket to Zhang Shi.

I saw that he first poured a certain amount of gunpowder into the barrel, then filled it with steel balls. He also got an iron rod from somewhere, put it into the barrel and pounded it hard.

"Lord, please give it a try."

Zhang Shi heard some tremors in Gong Yi's voice and seemed very excited. He then took the gun and checked its properties.

[Flintlock musket (blue): The whole is made of fine steel. When fired, the sparks generated by flint ignite the internal ammunition. It is very powerful. The disadvantage is that the firing frequency is low. 】

Zhang Shi came to the training ground, raised his flintlock gun, aimed for a moment, and shot at the wooden stake.

There was a loud bang, and a strong force was generated in the barrel of the gun, which almost broke away from Zhang Shi's hand. The gunpowder burned and the steel balls were shot out, smashing the wooden piles more than ten meters away.

Zhang Shi's eyes showed surprise. He didn't expect that the caliber of this thing was not large, but its power was not small. Although it is somewhat different from the red-necked musket, it is definitely enough to equip the team.

When Gong saw Zhang Shi's smile, he was very satisfied, so he stepped forward and asked.

"Lord, I am familiar with the manufacturing process of this musket. Currently, Gong Er and the others are working hard to forge fine steel. Do you want to see if large-scale mass production is needed?"

Zhang Shigang wanted to nod in agreement, but suddenly thought of a new idea.

"Don't worry, let's go back to the research center first."

Zhao Feng looked puzzled. He didn't know why Zhang Shi didn't order mass production immediately, but seeing that he looked confident, he didn't say much.

Back at the research center, Zhang Shi found paper and pen and began to draw and write. After a while, a sketch appeared in front of Gong Yi. As soon as Gong Yi saw the sketch, he was immediately attracted by the structure above and stared at the sketch intently to study it.

"Wonderful, wonderful. In this way, the problem of low frequency of musket attacks has been solved. Lord Lord is really a great talent!"

Zhang Shi pursed his lips and smiled.

The sketch he drew was exactly the structure of the revolver. Although he didn't know the specific details, he could still describe the simple working principle and style clearly.

Combined with the sketch, Zhang Shi began to talk to Gong Yi in detail about the details of the revolver and the requirements he needed to meet.

"You have to make a magazine, and fill it with gunpowder and projectiles before use. Fix each magazine so that when the trigger is pulled, it exactly corresponds to the barrel. You also have to make a mechanism to allow each When the flint is fired and the gun is fired, the bullet chamber must be rotated to achieve automatic reloading.”

The two of them were gesticulating. Except for Gong Yi and Zhao Feng, everyone else present was confused and confused.

By the end of the story, Gong Yi, an old man in his fifties, was so excited that he jumped up and down and exclaimed repeatedly.

"Great talent, great talent, Lord Lord is really a great talent!"

Zhang Shi was a little embarrassed by his praise, so he had to wave his hands repeatedly, indicating that he should quickly study the revolver according to the drawings.

Zhao Feng put his arm on Zhang Shi's shoulder and walked out of the research center with a smile and joked.

"Shitou, you are such a genius. You actually thought of using a revolver structure to solve the problem of slow reloading of muskets. Hey, you are such a genius!"

Zhang Shi pushed Zhao Feng away and cursed with a smile.

"Don't make fun of me. This thing is originally a leftover thing from previous generations. I just used it as a transitional thing. I still need to improve it when I get more advanced weapon blueprints and formulas in the future."

"By the way, where are Wu Qing and Lao Ge? Why haven't I seen them?"

Zhao Feng helplessly spread his hands.

"Wu Qing went into the farmland early in the morning, saying he wanted to study some grafting techniques; as for Lao Ge, he followed your arrangement and went to the mine to supervise the work in person. He sent people to transport the gunpowder back in the morning. "

Zhang Shi nodded, feeling very relieved. With these friends helping to share the work of the shelter, you can save some effort.

Seeing the newly recruited soldiers quickly integrate into the group, each performing his or her own duties, and the shelter being prosperous, Zhang Shi felt more at ease than ever before.

"There's something else I need to tell you."

Zhao Feng's face became serious. Zhang Shi came back to his senses and nodded to indicate to Zhao Feng to speak directly.

"I went on patrol outside this morning and found that the water level of the creek behind the shelter has dropped a lot. Today is the fifth day, and the temperature still has no downward trend. I think something is wrong with this situation. Do we need to do something? Be prepared.”

Zhang Shi frowned and quickly came to the river bank to check. Sure enough, as Zhao Feng said, the water level of the river has dropped to one-fifth of its original level, and it seems that it will dry up completely in less than two days.

Zhao Feng put his hand into the water and pulled it, disturbing the few fish and shrimp left at the bottom of the water.

"I've caught almost all the fish and shrimps in this river. Even if the river dries up, we won't suffer too much. If not, just use a resource generation card. Don't worry too much."

Zhang Shi stood in the sun and felt the temperature. He recalled the system announcement before the extreme heat disaster. He realized that something was wrong and thought he should make some preparations in advance.

Zhang Shi went straight to the farmland and found Wu Qing who was watering the crops.

"I want to cover the entire shelter. Can your sunflower still grow?"

Zhang Shi asked directly. Wu Qing stood up and wiped the sweat from her cheek with her arm, looking at him in confusion.

"I don't know about this either. It is already a refined plant. If you want it to grow bigger again, I'm afraid it will have to be upgraded to a rare grade."

Zhang Shi sighed. He didn't know much about this, but it would take a huge amount of resources to upgrade plants from refined to rare. With Zhang Shi's current ability, this path might not work.

Wu Qing asked softly when she saw Zhang Shi looking discouraged.

"What happened? Why do you have to cover the shelter?"

Zhang Shi raised his head and told him his findings and inferences one by one. After listening to this, Wu Qing thought that Zhang Shi's worries were not unreasonable.

"In fact, on the first day of the extreme heat, I also noticed that the system announcement did not announce the duration of the natural disaster like the severe cold disaster. According to your speculation, the extreme heat is likely to continue. If so, most of the survivors' plans may be disrupted, and the entire wilderness world will be in chaos."
