I’m Still Too Weak For the Starter SSS Talent
Chapter 73 Gunpowder, the Catalyst of War, and the Milestone of Civilization! [Second update! 】
area of 20 million people.
Not all players have free time to browse the world channel and go to the forum every day.
But even if the number of players who are active online at the same time is only 1%, there are enough 200,000 people to be active in one forum.
Although the vast majority of people just dive in and watch, they won't bubble up until the topics they are interested in.
At this time, Tang Zheng's fanfare post directly ignited the anger in the hearts of most players in the forum.
The slogan of resisting monopoly was loudly shouted, and the posts of several major timber chambers of commerce receiving resources for a long time were blasted to pieces.
In fact, Tang Zheng's post was just a trigger.
Paper or not, yes, but really no, and not fatal.
The main reason is the anger accumulated in his heart. After being suffocated in the original world for so long, after coming to another world, once the food and clothing are stable, he will suffer the pain of being monopolized again.
This is the reason why many players' mentality explodes.
And what Tang Zheng did was to throw a burning match towards the oily ground.
That's all.
In the original world, ordinary people occupy the vast majority.
Monopoly has penetrated into almost every aspect of life, food delivery, games, and even the financial or payment industry, just a few come and go.
The monopoly predator said: Didn't I give you a choice? You can use mine, you can use others, no one is forcing you.
But in reality, do people really have a choice?
The so-called choice is that you can use it or not, but whether you use it or not, it has no effect on the quality of life.
This is what is called true autonomy.
it is a pity.
The common people do not have this right.
All walks of life are compared to the era of bad food, the price of takeaway is getting more and more expensive, but the quality of dishes is getting worse and worse.
The routines of the game are becoming more and more stereotyped, but there are more and more ways to cheat Krypton.
The hours are getting longer and longer, but the wages have never been higher.
From beginning to end, people at the bottom have never had the right to choose.
The so-called choice is nothing more than 'changing from being monopolized by this one to being monopolized by another'.
In just half an hour, several major lumber firms were blasted to such an extent that there was almost no normal reply.
Tens of thousands of buildings are full of abuse.
The purchasing power of resources has also declined rapidly, except for a very few players who really need wood at this time and have to buy it as a last resort.
Seeing this situation, many player teams who were doing business with other commercial firms secretly lowered their prices, for fear of causing public anger.
During the whole process, Tang Zheng quietly watched the changes.
Seeing that the prices of the lumber companies have dropped again and again, but no one cares about them.
At this time, many civilian players put the accumulated wood on the shelves at normal prices to fill the vacancy in the market.
This is a collision between proletariat and capitalism.
The proletariat wins by a small margin.
But Tang Zheng also knew that such a phenomenon could never be suppressed.
Once the limelight passes, the price will rise back sooner or later.
And he does.
Gained the benefits of skyrocketing forum experience, and harvested a wave of word-of-mouth by the way.
And to some extent, it has done something practical for ordinary players-at least in the next few days, the price of wood, the most expensive infrastructure material, will not rise easily.
Tang Zheng's goal was achieved.
As for the timber firm's revenge?
He doesn't care.
As far as the current level of civilization is concerned, the equipment and tools are not sophisticated, and many people have not yet gathered together.
How many players can the opponent summon to form a team?
If Tang Zheng dared to come to him, he would throw him into the lake to feed the fish.
Of course, pretense is pretense.
Tang Zheng has already started preparing to make gunpowder.
Without any deterrence at hand, it is inevitable that he will be targeted by some unscrupulous little bastards.
Recently, because I need to increase the experience value of the forum, I have gained a lot of limelight.
The so-called big tree attracts the wind. During this time, someone must be eyeing him.
However, after the gunpowder is refined, he will be considered to have a weapon of mass destruction in the true sense.
At that time, you can do big things with confidence and boldness, instead of living in fear.
You're so clever, just follow the method I just did and continue making paper. Tang Zheng reminded Malphite.
Except for the process of sawdust, which needs to use its own synthesis table, the rest of the process can be fully handled by Da Congming.
Malphite's learning ability is very strong, and the entire integration process is memorized in his mind.
When Tang Zheng gave the order, it took the iron ax and ran to the woods hundreds of meters away to cut wood.
The owner doesn't seem to like it cutting down trees in front of the house.
After calming down, Tang Zheng clicked on the light curtain to check the description of gunpowder.
【gunpowder】
As a pioneering substance in the Iron Age, the birth of gunpowder inspired human beings to think deeply about chemical properties, and it is the earliest known chemical explosive in human history.
Its appearance escalates the human desire for war and aggression! But countless civilizations have also been rebuilt from the ruins.
In any case, it is an important stroke in human history. Now, please make a gunpowder and detonate it successfully!
...
Tang Zheng checked the main ingredients of the gunpowder.
It is a combustible explosive substance mixed with sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal.
Its principle is to use sulfur and charcoal as fuel, and saltpeter to act as an oxidant.
Below a certain ratio, an explosion will occur.
But this specific ratio was discovered by an ancient Chinese alchemist in early ancient times.
There are detailed scale instructions in the illustrated book.
But what troubled Tang Zheng was that among the three materials that make up gunpowder, sulfur and saltpeter were rare minerals, and only charcoal was easy to handle.
I asked the miners under my command to see if they had collected sulfur ore or saltpeter.
But after checking the illustration book, I found that both sulfur and saltpeter belonged to the fine-grade mineral quality.
Exquisite grade ores, even the first layer of the ruins are not produced.
The highest quality is a pile of excellent grade minerals.
And even if there is, the bronze pickaxe is almost impossible to mine, and it is very difficult.
Iron picks might still come in handy.
But it also requires extremely high strength.
It seems that it is unrealistic to wait for the miners to produce output, and we still have to do it ourselves.
Looking at the time, it was already afternoon.
After using the synthesis table to help Da Congming produce a pile of sawdust, Tang Zheng told him to make paper and take a look around the house.
On the other hand, he went out with the pickaxe in his hand, and arrived at the original mine with ease all the way.
Since the miners were recruited, Tang Zheng has not been in the mine for a long time.
At first, he let himself enter the small cave for one night. At this time, the entrance of the cave has been fully developed, and the dark and deep cave can be seen from a distance.
You don't need to bow your back to get in smoothly.
Light the torches and be vigilant all the way.
Fortunately, no threatening creatures were found in the wild.
Clinking and smashing all the way with the pickaxe.
Granite is no longer rare enough to pick up. When you see iron ore and copper ore, you will collect them all. Anyway, the inventory has just been expanded by four grids, and the capacity is sufficient.
Until the evening, Tang Zheng did not find any shadow of sulfur ore or saltpeter.
The production of such fine-grade minerals is too rare.
It was gradually getting dark outside, and if you stayed in the forest at night, the probability of encountering danger rose sharply.
I had to give up.
The process of gunpowder was also delayed. Tang Zheng was a little dull while having dinner, and kept frowning.
The progress of civilization was stuck, which made him a little depressed.
At this moment, a reminder suddenly came from beside the ear.
【Ding! Your friend sent you a private chat! 】
Tang Zheng unfolded the light curtain and found that it was one of the miners.
After seeing the message, Tang Zheng's eyes widened.
[Boss, is this the saltpeter mine you are talking about? /Image] [image]
The light red shell rock mass is covered with a layer of irregular scale-like gravel.
Use the illustrated book to strengthen it.
It is indeed a saltpeter mine!
[Yes, can it be collected? ] Tang Zheng dictated, and the light curtain automatically converted it into text and sent it over.
Since mobile phones have evolved into light particles, typing is no longer required for communication, which is quite convenient.
[/Embarrassment/Embarrassment... Boss, you think highly of me too much. My arm was numb from this thing just now, and I didn't even hit a spark. The bronze pickaxe you gave me has a gap...]
It seems that civilization restrictions are getting in the way again.
If you want to collect exquisite minerals, you must at least enter the Bronze Age.
And the miners under his own hands are all still in the Neolithic Age.
I work hard every day, and after digging mines, I lie down and sleep soundly when I go home, and I hardly have time to develop my own civilization.
After all, for these C-level or B-level talent players, there are many progresses that they cannot catch up with.
Tang Zheng pondered for a moment.
Open your mouth slowly.
[What are your coordinates? ]
Suddenly there was silence.
Tang Zheng was not in a hurry to ask again.
Coordinates are a sensitive topic, even if players at this stage have a tendency to unite.
But there are still a small number of people who make up the real tribe, and most of them keep in touch through forums and private chats.
After a long while, the other side finally gave an answer.
[511.830... Boss, I can trust you, although sometimes you are a bit stingy. ]
[…]
Looking at the number that was not too far away from him, Tang Zheng roughly estimated the pros and cons in his mind.
This miner, Tang Zheng remembered correctly.
When he was recruited, his talent was D-level mining efficiency improvement.
The improvement is also pitiful, only 5% faster than ordinary people, which is better than nothing.
Little deterrent.
Judging from his current strength, even if the other party has evil intentions and deliberately wants to trick him, the probability of success is not high.
Besides, no matter how bad it is, I still have the two life-saving cards of retreat and strengthening and great wisdom.
Tang Zheng didn't dare to say anything about other districts, but in District 96, there were probably no players who could beat too smart.
After some weighing, Tang Zheng decided to take a risk.
The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in insurance, and exquisite minerals are worth his time.
Compared with danger, Tang Zheng's headache was caused by the stagnation of civilization progress.
[OK, I'll be there tomorrow. ]

(I went to bed, although there are only two updates today, but they are all 3K word chapters, so it can be regarded as the third update...)
(I'll see if I can write more tomorrow, sorry.)
