Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

"When you go back to the tree house, I have something for you here, so that you don't have to walk to dig the mine every time." But Xu Xin didn't want to ask how she discovered the saltpeter mine. He planned to give Li Wenxi a bottle of mutated potion and a mutated beast contract so that her efficiency would be higher.

"Ah? A means of transportation? Give it to me? Wow, you're so kind!" Li Wenxi's voice was very pleasantly surprised. This is her biggest trouble at the moment, and she didn't expect Xu Xin to be able to solve it for her.

"It's alright, alright, I'll explain it to you after I give you the stuff, oh yes, do you have mutated beast meat?" Xu Xin asked.

"There are quite a lot of them, all of which are green-grade meat. I haven't dared to eat them for fear of problems. If you want them, I can give them to you." It seems that Xu Xin's help with her transportation problem is very useful to her, and she doesn't ask any questions. The reason is to give the meat to Xu Xin.

"Keep it for yourself, long-term consumption of this meat can improve your health, and it's very delicious."

"Have you eaten? The introduction seems to only say that it is a kind of edible meat, does it still have this effect!"

"Well, after eating it, I feel that my strength has increased, although it is very weak."

"Oh, I see, you want to use saltpeter to preserve the mutated beast meat, right? Now that everyone has just come out of the dungeon, they happen to have a lot of mutated beast meat in their hands, and they don't have much ability to preserve it. We can just search for it! Li Wenxi was eager to try, "I'm almost there, I'll give you saltpeter when I get back!"

After hanging up the call, Xu Xin took out a Mutated Beast Contract, and went downstairs to make a bottle of Mutant Potion in front of the synthesis stage. He planned to give these two to Li Wenxi in exchange for her saltpeter.

With their current strength, they can forcibly pour a mutation potion into a wild boar or wild ox, and after the mutation, they can use the mutant beast contract to contract it.

The Mutated Beast contract is not a special mount contract, so it is definitely not like Xu Xin riding the Silver King, no matter how fast he is, he will be as stable as Mount Tai and will not be thrown off, but ordinary riding can still be done.

And even if you don't ride, it's very suitable to hang a few backpacks to pull goods. This method is very suitable for Li Wenxi. Otherwise, she would have to travel long distances every time and carry it by herself, which would be time-consuming and laborious. You must know that time is very precious now, and the labor cost is so high that Xu Xin felt a little embarrassed to bargain with her and ask her for it.

With saltpeter that can be cooled, Xu Xin plans to build several large refrigerators to store some mutated wild animal meat as food reserves.

As Li Wenxi said, he can go directly to the platform to buy some mutated animal meat. After all, there are more than 1,800 people who have returned from the dungeon. There are quite a lot of mutated meat on the market now, and the price is still very low. Because everyone felt that the meat could not be eaten within three days.

Soon, Li Wenxi sent a video call to Xu Xin.

After connecting to the video, Li Wenxi on the other side of the video seemed a little excited: "What do you want to give me? The saltpeter in my hand is ready."

Xu Xin sent Li Wenxi the attributes of the mutated potion and mutated beast contract.

"This...you can actually create a mutant beast!" Li Wenxi was very surprised, especially when she saw the mutant beast contract, she immediately understood what Xu Xin was thinking, and clapped her hands, "You want me to use the mutant potion to create a mutant beast myself?" Mutate the beast and contract it?"

"That's right." Xu Xin nodded, "It's best to choose cows or pigs that can carry heavy loads. They will help you the most."

"Well... If I had to choose one, it would be a cow. Riding a pig is too weird!" Li Wenxi imagined herself riding a pig, and immediately shook her head, as if trying to shake the picture out of her mind.

Xu Xin told her some precautions for contracts and potions, such as making the mutated beast have the intention to surrender before using the contract.

"Understood, let's make a deal!" Li Wenxi directly initiated a deal with Xu Xin.

[The other party initiates a transaction with you, mutant beast contract (green)*1, mutant potion (blue)*1 in exchange for saltpeter (blue)*2]

Blue-grade saltpeter? !

Li Wenxi on the screen spoke, she was playing with a piece of crystal saltpeter in her hand: "I just came back and appraised it, among so many saltpeter, there are four pieces of blue-grade saltpeter, divided into two pieces for you." Well, the introduction seems to say that the various functions of the blue-level saltpeter are much stronger than the green-level ones.”

Xu Xin immediately clicked Agree, and two blue-grade saltpeter the size of a palm appeared in his hand.

[Saltpeter (blue): High-grade saltpeter will absorb a huge amount of heat after being dissolved in water, and the effect is super powerful! Only one piece is required to craft Blue Class Explosives. 】

Xu Xin saw the explosives in the introduction, which made his heart skip a beat. He could actually make explosives, but unfortunately, he didn't have a method for making explosives.

However, the "huge amount" of heat absorbed in the previous sentence made his heart beat faster. Could it be that the cooling effect is extremely strong?

"Have you tried it, the function of blue-grade saltpeter?"

"Well, I just threw a piece into the basin, and it froze in an instant, and the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees!" Li Wenxi pointed to a basin of ice next to her and said, "My legs are still feeling a bit cold. "

so strong!

You know, normal saltpeter wants to make ice, not only does it consume a lot of money, it is basically close to one to one, and the ice making time is not fast, it takes half an hour to freeze, but this blue-level saltpeter block can freeze in an instant. It froze, and brought the surrounding temperature down!

"Okay, I can't wait to sign the mutant beast contract. It must be completed before tomorrow's event. I'll go out first. You study saltpeter. I'll just copy your homework when I come back, hehe."

"Okay, that's right, ice made directly from saltpeter is not edible, so don't use that basin of ice to make smoothies. If you want to eat ice made from a bucket."

"I still know this, okay, I'm not that stupid!"

After hanging up the video, Xu Xin also couldn't wait to try it. He filled a basin of water and put the blue saltpeter in his hand into the water. Immediately, the basin of water froze at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, a chill emerged, and the surrounding temperature dropped instantly, making Xu Xin shiver.

And the piece of saltpeter was frozen in the ice like this, without any change in shape.

"This... this is too strong!" Xu Xin was a little shocked.

He immediately changed his mind about making a refrigerator.

What kind of refrigerator is this? He can use these two pieces of saltpeter to make an ice cellar! With the ice cellar, he can store a large amount of mutated beast meat and other grains, which is equivalent to a small granary!

He quickly began to plan the ice cellar in his mind.

To build an ice cellar, you need to let the temperature in the ice cellar drop down first, and then put ice cubes in it.

The ice cellars of the ancients are actually relatively simple. In winter, large pieces of ice are chiseled and put into the cellar. Because the cellar is underground, the ability to maintain temperature is very strong, so in summer, the ice can basically not melt, and the cellar can be maintained. With low temperature, this is the ice cellar.

But now it is summer, and there is no natural ice for him to use, so he needs saltpeter to cool down and make ice. It is difficult for ordinary saltpeter to do this. After all, to cool down the surrounding area, a large amount of ice needs to be consumed, which is too huge. But his two pieces of blue-grade saltpeter can fully meet the needs.

What he has to consider now is where to get an ice cellar. Generally speaking, ice cellars are set up underground, where there is no ventilation, no light, and little heat can be conducted in, so that ice cubes can be stored for a long time.

But if it is set underground, he has to go down from the tree house every time he goes to the ice cellar to get something. In case of any situation where he cannot get out of the tree house, or if the cellar is submerged like a flood, it will be uncomfortable.

So Xu Xin plans to build the ice cellar on the first floor of the tree house.

Not just because of convenience, but because he actually discovered very early on that the floor of the tree house has the ability to insulate heat.

His furnace is placed in the corner of the second floor of the tree house. Every time the furnace is used, the high-temperature flame in the furnace will emit strong heat. You must know that the flame for melting iron blocks is above 1500 degrees. , whenever the furnace is running, unless it is to get materials, he will try to stay away from the furnace as much as possible.

When he used the furnace to smelt ore sand for a long time on the second floor, the temperature near the furnace was ridiculously high, especially now that the ambient temperature itself is not low, making the entire second floor look like a high-temperature sauna.

According to common sense, the third floor should also be like a steamer. But no, the third floor is even cold, only the place near the stairs will be slightly affected.

Therefore, it is completely feasible to use the first floor of the tree house as an ice cellar, provided that the floor and walls of the tree house have the ability to insulate heat.

Xu Xin immediately began to renovate the first floor of the tree house.

The ice cellar doesn't need to be as big as the whole first floor. It's not necessary. Xu Xin divided the first floor into two parts. The inner half is separated by him, and the inside is used as an ice cellar.

He covered the windows with wooden windows to prevent sunlight from entering, and the whole room became a dark, closed and insulated environment.

Xu Xin filled a huge wooden bucket with water, placed it in a room that would become an ice cellar, and threw a piece of saltpeter (blue) directly into it.

The moment the saltpeter submerged in the water surface, the water surface made a cracking sound and immediately froze, the saltpeter was frozen close to the water surface, at the same time, the water in the wooden barrel was gradually frozen, and a bone-chilling coldness came from the wooden barrel Radiate outward.

"Crack!" The ice that expanded after the wooden barrel was frozen exploded directly, and the wood chips fell to the ground. At the same time, Xu Xin felt the temperature in the whole room drop sharply within half a minute, from 30 degrees to 100 degrees Celsius. A few degrees, it has reached the temperature of the refrigerator freezer.

"The heat-absorbing ability of this blue-level saltpeter is too strong, and it has not been consumed!" Xu Xin looked at the saltpeter that had been frozen on the ice, and took out a pickaxe to chisel it out. The saltpeter still maintains its original appearance, probably just a layer of skin that is invisible to the naked eye has been dissolved.

But it’s okay even if it’s all dissolved, it can be separated out and reused. This blue-grade saltpeter is really convenient!

Continue to repeat this action. After the third bucket of water is frozen, the temperature in the entire ice cellar is already very cold, at least below minus ten degrees. Coupled with the three pieces of ice made by saltpeter (blue), the temperature is always colder. To maintain the temperature, the entire ice cellar is basically completed.

Xu Xin was so cold that he couldn't stand it, so he hurried out from the inside, and when he opened the door, he was greeted with a wave of heat. The contrast of dozens of degrees made him feel extremely sour. Fortunately, his physique had been strengthened, otherwise he would say Not necessarily a minor illness.

He quickly closed the door to prevent the air-conditioning from coming out again.

Next, is to enrich the contents of the ice cellar! He wants to build a small granary in the tree house!
