I’m Still Too Weak For the Starter SSS Talent

Survive Day 26.

The integration of natural selection tribes has almost been completed, ranking at the top of the list, and the total output of the second-ranked Luohong tribe is close to 20,000+.

While attracting players from all walks of life to worship, there are also many players who are eagerly guessing who the boss behind this tribe is.

The prototype of the tribe had been decided, so Tang Zheng didn't worry about it any more.

After several days of delay, the progress of civilization may be overtaken by some players.

However, the small stage of civilization is a small problem, and the rewards given for the initiative can only be regarded as mediocre.

It's the best if you can get it, and it won't affect your development if you can't get it.

As long as no one surpasses the stage of great civilization, it's not a big deal.

Tang Zheng deliberately got up early today, turned on the light curtain, and swept through the eight semi-industrial era side missions one by one.

The branch line of 'steel' was chosen first.

Steel is a high-level substitute for iron, and its high-quality material structure is better than iron in terms of hardness and durability.

And after the steel is produced, it has a wide range of uses, and it can also radiate to subsequent branches of civilization.

Buildings made of steel also have a civilization level bonus.

Reinforced concrete can also be made.

This strong building material, mixed with cement, forms the spine of the modern house.

It can be said that it has a lot of effects.

Looking back, I can find time to renovate the small stone house I am currently living in.

The load-bearing capacity of steel bars is very strong, so it is no problem to build a three-story Dabieye.

There is only one purpose for the development of civilization, which is to enable human beings to live a better life.

The main element of steel alloy product itself is made of more than 90% pig iron.

So it is also called steel.

In addition to iron, a small amount of trace elements such as carbon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur need to be added to finished steel with good quality.

Otherwise, the hardness and stability of steel products will be greatly reduced. It also fails to meet the condition of 'superior steel' given in the side mission.

Iron, carbon, and sulfur are easy to handle, but what to do with the remaining manganese and phosphorus. Tang Zheng looked at the description of the nature of 'steel' in the illustrated book and fell into deep thought.

He tried it just now, and the synthesis platform cannot directly complete the refining of steel.

You need to make it yourself at least once, and draw the production blueprint, and submit it to the synthesis table for memory absorption, so that you don't need to manually manufacture it yourself in the future, and you only need to submit the materials to produce it.

Various metal or non-metal elements on the periodic table were discovered not overnight.

They are all precipitated by the long history of human civilization for thousands of years.

Although at the civilization level of the original world, there are already very good conditions to refine these elements.

But for most of the players who are still in the Bronze Age at this stage, or even less civilized.

It is very difficult to extract all kinds of elements in the periodic table.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, Tang Zheng plans to start refining phosphorus.

The extraction of phosphorus can not only produce steel, but also can produce various auxiliary props such as matches, smoke bombs, and incendiary bombs.

Compared with those scientists who discovered phosphorus in the earliest period, Tang Zheng at least has data records, and he only needs to find the right method to get twice the result with half the effort.

Open the illustration book, enter 'phosphorus', and a bunch of results will come out soon.

Most of them use high-tech machines to extract phosphorus, which was directly ruled out by Tang Zheng.

If you can have high technology, do you still need to look through the illustration book to find the production method?

After screening and screening one by one, Tang Zheng's eyes stayed on a document called 'Basic Extraction Method of Phosphorus'.

I don’t know where this document was dug out from. The illustrated book has a very powerful encyclopedia function of all things. Even the oracle bone inscriptions recorded thousands of years ago have long since disappeared into the long river of history.

But as long as it has been born, it has existed.

Then the Encyclopedia of All Things will definitely be able to find records about it and translate it.

Sometimes Tang Zheng is quite fortunate that he is the first player in the world to obtain SSS-level talent, and he is given the reward of the Illustrated Book of Everything.

Even if it is taken out alone, it is no less than an SSS-level talent.

Organic life forms will contain a certain amount of phosphorus. It is one of the important components to promote teeth and bones. The easiest way to extract it is... a clam? Tang Zheng stared blankly when he saw the last line. Startled.

The method of refining is very magical.

Urine Distillation…

The specific operation method is to heat and evaporate fresh human urine until the water in the urine is dried up, leaving a part of black residue, which contains a large amount of phosphorus.

Put these black residues in a damp place to let it rot, and then add a certain amount of fine sand to mix it for secondary distillation.

This time I chose to collect the evaporated water.

After the water is solidified, a white-yellow solid substance—phosphorus is formed.

emmm...

Although it sounded very spoof, Tang Zheng checked the illustrated book encyclopedia.

In the long history of mankind, the person who discovered the element phosphorus for the first time really tried it in this way...

But the reason for refining urine is very nonsense...

It's like the first human being who extracted gunpowder, just wanted to see if this substance could be refined into a elixir of immortality.

The idea of ​​the person who refines the medicine, first committed the crime of greed!

He thought there was a small amount of gold in the urine, otherwise why would it be pale yellow?

As long as the urine is evaporated, the remaining coagulation must be gold!

As a result, the gold was not found, but the value of the found elements was more than gold brought him wealth!

It can only be said that human beings are a very magical species, but it is precisely because of these whimsical ideas and bold attempts that modern civilization has created countless prosperity.

Tang Zheng looked down at her crotch...

It's not possible, it's not impossible...

This is called dedicating oneself to civilization!

Civilization, civilized things, how can it be regarded as three abuses?

Not shabby!

Fortunately, just as Tang Zheng was about to dedicate himself to science, he caught a glimpse of the second half of this document out of the corner of his eye and saw another method of phosphorus extraction.

skeleton.

Of course, this extraction method found a more convenient method after more people began to study this substance after the urine extraction method was used to successfully obtain phosphorus.

The extraction principle is almost the same as the urine extraction method, but the bones must be ground into slag first, and then the water in them must be evaporated to dryness.

Just do it.

Tang Zheng rushed directly to the pasture, caught another ostrich and came out.

Three strokes, five strokes, and two strokes helped it complete the physical transcendence. The ostrich meat was thrown into the inventory to keep it fresh. After the bones were shaved and dried, it was smashed with a thick iron rod, and then crushed back and forth dozens of times until it was broken into slag.

Serve!

The bottom of the bonfire was filled with firewood, and the bone shards were thrown into the pot and kept stirring until a smell of paste came out.

Lan Lan, who was learning more knowledge through the forum in the house, thought that her master had made the dishes muddy, so she ran out holding her nose to have a look.

But seeing the master with his back to her, he let out bursts of excited and deep laughter.

Hey hey, that's the feeling, that's the taste.

Master is so strange... Lan Lan was frightened for a while, and went back into the house again.

After frying all the water in the bone dregs, a pile of black paste-like granular solids was obtained.

With a thought, Tang Zheng clicked on the picture book for this dark dish.

【Black paste particles (no grade)】

Description: It doesn't seem to have any value, but it seems that some substances can be extracted from it, you can try to put it in a damp place...

...

It can only be said that the Illustrated Book of All Things will always be a god!

Even unknown objects can give some hints.

When it comes to humidity, Tang Zheng has something to say.

In the lakeside hut in the forest, the air is very humid every day.

Too wet is not good, the body will not be able to bear it, every day when I touch it when I sleep, there will be a large wet area

wall.

Fortunately, the physiques of Tang Zheng and Lan Lan are not ordinary human beings, and they can excrete this little moisture from their bodies through their vellus hair.

Wrap the bone residue with a large piece of paper, and randomly place it at the root of a dense tree full of mushrooms.

Waiting for it to rot, even according to the humidity in the forest, would take more than a few hours.

Tang Zheng was not idle during this period, and made a batch of glass plates with higher purity.

Over the past week or so, Tang Zheng had hoarded hundreds of quartz stones, and kept them in the large self-made warehouse.

With the change of civilization in the times, the material of glass will come in handy more and more.

Make a batch first, so that you don’t have to make glass plates on the spot when you need them later. Even if they are synthesized in seconds, five parts at a time is too boring, and it is far less efficient than just getting ready-made ones.

Take out a glass plate and throw it into the crafting table to directly create a transparent retort.

【Retort bottle (excellent grade)】

Description: It can better retain the evaporated liquid for you.

...

From the appearance, it looks like a large teapot, except that the spout of the ordinary teapot is upward, while the spout of the retort is downward.

After the top material inlet is sealed, the liquid distilled from the fire will flow out along the downward spout.

After a few hours.

Tang Zheng fetched the rotted bones, opened the paper bag, and there was a foul and rotten smell.

Everything is for civilization! Tang Zheng took a deep breath, then held her breath, threw the rotten bone residue into the retort, and added a handful of fine sand.

The fine sand contains silicon dioxide, which can be well blended with bone slag after being heated in a high fire, and phosphide with higher purity can be purified.

Set up a small bonfire, put it on it and start baking with a big fire.

In the direction of the spout, a small clay pot was placed to collect the phosphorus produced.

After the fire was heated for a while, it was obvious that the inner wall of the retort was covered with a layer of white mist.

As the baking continued, white viscous liquid began to slowly overflow from the spout.

Drop by drop fell into the clay pot.

This process lasted about half an hour.

In the end, Tang Zheng obtained liquid phosphorus in a small half-clay pot.

It is a white-yellow liquid, and it cannot be said to be very similar to a certain substance in male humans, but it can only be said to be exactly the same.

However, its internal grain structure is very clear. After the temperature drops, the inside of the clay pot becomes a grain of beige fine sand.

Master, are these salt? Lan Lan went out of the house to move around, and saw her master holding a pottery pot and looking at it under the sun, so she stepped forward curiously, and poked her head over.

As soon as he got close to the mouth of the clay pot, he pinched his nose, and the tears were all smoked out.

What is this...it stinks!

These, these are treasures. Tang Zheng smiled mysteriously.

Lanlan looked at him strangely.

Recently, master is a little weird...

It's not strange, it's a dedication to science and a struggle for civilization.

So you have to hold these stinky things and giggle?

...

It gave Lan Lan a brain break and asked her to go to the room to continue studying.

With the first production plan, the subsequent production and synthesis of phosphorus will be much more convenient.

You only need to throw fresh bones into the synthesis table, input 'phosphorus', and you can successfully obtain the product.

The next step is the refining of manganese.

Manganese belongs to metal minerals, to find the manganese ore layer.

In fact, in the periodic table of elements, the distinction between various elements is very simple.

Except for the 'Mercury' element, the other metal elements are next to the gold letter, gaseous non-metallic elements are next to the gas letter, and the production of elements next to the stone letter is a little more complicated, and some of them can be purified from stone mines.

There are some chemical reactions that need to be performed.

For example, carbon is generally extracted from burned wood and raw coal.

Tang Zheng first asked several leaders of the 'Natural Selection' tribe about the origin of the manganese ore, and all the answers they got were 'I have never seen it'.

In desperation, he had to open the forum and search.

There are very few related questions, just a few posts.

It seems that the vast majority of players at this stage have not yet reached the time when they can touch manganese ore.

However, one of them still gave Tang Zheng a lot of information value.

[Brothers, look what I found? Manganese layer! This wave makes a fortune! 】

Click in and take a look, the player took and uploaded several pictures.

In the picture, the mineral piles are in the shape of thin columns and needle points, the color is black, and it has a bright semi-metallic luster.

Click on the illustrated book to have a look.

【Manganese Ore (Excellent Grade)】

Attribute: Group VIIB element of the fourth cycle, a rising star in the semi-industrial era, and one of the main minerals for steelmaking. It can also be used in battery, printing, soap making and other industries.

Civilization restrictions: Only players who have entered the Iron Age can mine. The tools required for mining are steel grade.

Description: Good steel needs good manganese, but only if you can dig this hard guy.

...

Some people in the post said it was awesome, while others expressed disdain.

[Manganese ore has a use, it can only be mined after the Iron Age, and steel tools are required, infinite is almost equal to no. ]

[The host ran away quickly, be careful not to be targeted by highly educated players, and even the mine will bring someone to give you the whole thing later. ]

The player who posted the post didn't seem to give up, and replied one by one.

[No, is it true that no one wants excellent-level things? ]

[No way, no way, I'll sell the coordinates in packages, come and buy them from a big guy! ]

[Please, I’m running out of money to eat. I was ransacked by a dogecoin tribe a while ago and robbed all my money. Now I rely on a virtual currency produced by my mobile phone to mix subsistence allowances every day. Even the progress of civilization is slow. Got stuck... Come on, a big guy, buy my manganese mine coordinates...]

...

In fact, it is not that manganese ore is worthless.

It's just that the civilization limit is stuck here.

It's the same as when you travel back to a primitive tribe and hold a mobile phone.

There would be no signal towers and no electricity.

After the battery in your phone dies, it's a piece of junk.

Is it civilized?

Nature is one of the top products of modern civilization.

But is it worth it?

No.

The same goes for manganese ore.

At this stage, most players have just entered the Bronze Age, and the Iron Age is still far away.

Not to mention the manganese ore that needs to be mined with steel tools after entering the Iron Age.

However, this thing is worth a lot to Tang Zheng.

After thinking about it, Tang Zheng hid her ID and picked out the words on the light curtain.

[Brother, are your manganese mine coordinates still there? ]

Soon, the other end replied.

[Yes! What is the big brother doing! ]

[You make an offer. ] Tang Zheng cut to the chase.

It was almost 12 o'clock in the morning, and the full attendance was almost out of reach.

I! It's a dead line fighter! !
