  Chapter 44 Businessmen from Neighboring Cities

"I should have thought of it!"

"Linghu's most abundant resource is not just the fish in the lake, but the rich nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium on the shoreline of the lake! We are almost here, just ahead!"

Walking towards the lake with mosquitoes Go, the wind said excitedly along the way.

The two stopped at a shoal by the lake.

The vegetation here is luxuriant and easy to hide. It is an excellent water point for both humans and animals.

As soon as the wind extended the hand, the mosquito stepped forward before him and squatted down in front of a relatively flat rock.

I saw him stretch out his index finger, lightly wiped it on the stone wall, then sniffed it close, and tried to lick it.

Kuangfeng couldn't care about his spicy eyes, so he asked quickly.

"How is it?"

He spit on the ground, the mosquito's face was half happy and half sad.

"Bah, there are some fresh ones..."

Gale: "..."

Although I accidentally tasted fresh bird droppings , But one thing is certain is that there is indeed a large amount of struvite here.

The main component of this ore is Mg(NH4)[PO4]·6H2O. It has an orthorhombic crystal structure. It is not difficult to see the chemical composition of the ore. How versatile this thing is.

More than that, when a certain amount of struvite is formed, the ammonia component in it will gradually be oxidized to nitric acid under the action of nitrifying bacteria, and finally it will be made of Potassium Nitrate, sodium nitrate, calcium nitrate, and magnesium nitrate. Such forms accumulate below the soil to form so-called nitrate soil.

This kind of nitrate as a "associated mineral" only needs to be boiled by simple methods, such as mixing with plant ash that has not filtered potash water, and extracting the calcium and magnesium ions inside. Prepare saltpeter with a small amount of impurities!

To put it simply, if you find bird droppings, you basically master saltpeter.

And owning saltpeter is basically equivalent to owning gunpowder!

In fact, it is not just bird droppings. There are a large number of different kinds of excrement on the shore of Linghu Lake. These excrements gradually weathered and deposited and compacted over time, and finally formed a dung stone mine.

As for why there are so many dung rocks by the lake, it is actually very easy to understand.

In the early years when this planet entered the Wasteland Era, it had experienced a severe cold period with a section length of nearly half a century.

During that period, Linghu Wetland Park was the most water-rich area in this area, and there used to be a large number of wild animals and domestic animals that fled the pasture to live here.

These feces should have been left at that time.

It wasn't until the end of the severe cold period that the uninhabited urban area formed a more luxuriant ecological system, and it gradually became deserted.

"With these nitrate soil, it is not a big problem to get the black powder out!" Standing up from the ground, the mosquito looked towards Kuangfeng excitedly, "You help me, let's get some more back. "

The wind asked suspiciously.

"There is nitrate and charcoal, but I remember there is sulfur in the black powder formula? Where are you going to find sulfur?"

If he remembers correctly, Sulfur this thing usually appears near volcanic crater or hot springs.

However, this area obviously does not appear to have these two distinct things.

The mosquito froze for a moment.

Obviously he has not had time to consider this issue.

"Uh, if there is no sulfur, sulfate is actually fine, but the process is a little more troublesome...should it be easy to find?"

Kuangfeng glanced around, helpless Shrugged.

"Anyway, let's look for it first."

……

Unfortunately, there is no sulfur in the forest, nor is it seen by the lake. Something that looks like sulfur.

Think about it too.

How could this thing appear in a wetland park?

Fortunately, just when the two were about to give up, they found some gypsum mines beside a small river that extended out of Linghu.

The component of this thing is calcium sulfate, and it can produce calcium sulfide and carbon dioxide when it burns off with carbon at high temperature, which is exactly the sulfate mineral they are looking for!

"Why did I forget this!" The mosquito slapped his head in annoyance, "I saw Old Bai two days ago when they burned the cement, it seems they were mixed with this kind of plaster powder. Go in! Isn't this damn calcium sulfate?"

The wind said with a wry smile.

"Is this the so-called black under the lamp."

"The result is good," I picked up some gypsum ore and put it in a plastic bucket. The mosquitoes washed their hands and stood there. He got up and looked towards Kuangfeng and said, "Let's go, the materials are ready, let's go back."

Kuangfeng nodded, followed him.

The two returned to the survivor's settlement together, and were about to walk to the small wood house, only to find that there was a commotion in front of the settlement.

I saw the players working on the construction site. I don't know when they have come down from the scaffolding, and they are carrying guys in their hands, surrounding a cow with two heads.

A strange man stood beside the two-headed cow.

He was wearing a leather jacket, with a flattering smile, making strange gestures, and gulu in his mouth saying something incomprehensible.

The mosquito was curious and stopped.

"Who is that person? New NPC?"

I haven't heard that it will be updated today.

"I don't know, I will ask..."

Guangfeng is an actionist, put down the plastic bucket in his hand, strode towards the scrambled eggs standing in front of the bacon stand watching the lively scrambled eggs Brother, asked him curiously.

"What happened there? Who is that person?"

Brother scrambled eggs, holding his arms, shook his head and said.

"I don’t know the specifics. I heard other people say that it seems that our people came across this guy on the way back from the construction site, and then this guy didn’t say anything, just followed. The people who followed us all the way got here."

The gust of wind approached and heard the comments from the players.

"Why does this cow have two heads?"

"Domesticated aliens?"

"This man has followed us all the way! I bet, He is definitely not a good thing, maybe it is a detailed work of robber!"

"Not necessarily, what if it is an NPC?"

"It doesn't make sense, if it's an NPC. , You can’t even communicate, right?"

"Is it because the condition didn’t trigger?"

"Or let’s lock him up first and wait until the manager comes back. "

Feeling the increasingly unkind eyes of people around him, Sun Shiqi, who was surrounded by the crowd, felt a lot of pressure.

Although he has a revolver hidden under his leather jacket, and has opened the insurance, even if he empties the magazine, he still has 6 bullets.

And the residents of these shelters who are getting closer and closer will not give him a chance to shoot 6 shots in a row.

One person, one hammer, he has to lie on the ground.

"I repeat, I have no ill intentions, I am a businessman, do you understand a businessman? Damn, 200 years ago, no matter how bad it is, it wouldn't even be a business career? Or you I forgot to sleep for too long?"

"Okay, calm down, to put it another way, I want to use these things on the back of the cow to exchange something you don’t lack but I just need... …Anything is ok! Of course, if you don’t want to change it, it’s okay, I will leave now, and promise not to disturb you again!"

Seeing that there is no communication at all, Sun Shiqi has already given up.

However, the residents of these shelters didn't mean to give way at all. Instead, they got closer and closer, and even took out the rope.

Sun Shiqi was desperate.

Just when he was thinking about whether to fight to the death, the blue coats surrounding him suddenly gave way.

I saw a man walking over here with the body of a mutant reindeer on his shoulders.

That mutated reindeer weighs more than one hundred kilograms, and is about the size of a horse. However, the man is like a okay person, carrying the prey that can cover him as usual.

Although he was wearing a blue coat of harmless to humans and animals, Sun Shiqi still smelled an extremely dangerous breath from him.

This guy...

is definitely not an ordinary shelter resident!

The man threw his prey heavily on the ground, said a few words to his companions, and then these people scattered obediently.

Seeing the man walking towards him, Sun Shiqi felt nervous and his nerves tense.

For an instant, a single thought flashed through his mind. If he could hold the person in front of him, he might be able to leave here smoothly.

However, his instinct told him that if he really did this, he would die as soon as he did it...

"who you are?" Chu Guang looked at him ask.

Sun Shiqi was slightly taken aback when he heard the man talk to him, an expression of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

"You can talk? No, I didn't mean that, I mean you know the language here?"

The language here refers to the language of people.

Before the war, all areas in this area belonged to the territory of the Renlian, and naturally they used a unified language. It stands to reason that the residents of the refuge also use interpersonal language, but I don't know why these people are a bit different.

Chu Guang slightly frowned, watching him continue to say.

"Now I am asking you something."

"Answer me, who you are?"

Hearing the bad tone in that tone, Sun Shiqi hurriedly Explained.

"My last name is Sun, and my name is Sun Shiqi. I come from Honghe Town next door! I am a businessman!"

Honghe Town?   Hearing this unfamiliar place name, Chu Guang raised his eyebrows slightly.

All he knows is that this is Qingquan City, a river valley province in the hinterland of Renlian. As for the other cities in the valley province, he is not very clear.

"What are you doing in Qingquan City?"

Sun Shiqi cautiously said.

"I am a businessman...Of course I am here to do business."

Chu Guang's expression did not move.

"Businessman? Then why do I hear my companions say you followed them?"

"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding!"

Sun Shiqi Waving his hands, he explained that didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"I was planning to go to Boulder City. I happened to see them wearing blue coats on the road. I thought there was a place like a refuge nearby, so I wanted to exchange something with you... I'm just a It's just a businessman, really didn't mean to offend!"

He also didn't expect, these people are so sensitive.

It was a general survivor’s settlement. He categorically didn't dare to lean in by himself, but it was different if it was a refuge.

These little cuties in blue coats are famous naive young women in the wasteland. They are both bullies and cheats.

They are usually the elites of the pre-war society, or descendants of the elites, they often call themselves civilized descendants, arrogant and supercilious.

At the time, he thought about following the past and he followed. At worst, he was blasted away as a beggar, and there would be no loss.

Where did you think that after these people brought him in, they surrounded him without saying anything, didn't listen to him, and didn't even plan to leave.

There is no such thing as martial arts!    He didn't relax the expression on his face because of this guy's explanation, Chu Guang still looked at him blankly and continued.

"Regardless of the meaning of offense, you have indeed done something that offends us. I believe that in any corner of this wasteland, tracking can't be called is a friendly act, you Are you right?"

Sun Shiqi brow beaded with sweat, brace oneself nodded.

"...You are right."

"Very well, it seems that you have realized your mistake," Chu Guang nodded, "but don't worry, we are Reasonable people, just now I have persuaded my companions to tell them that you are willing to apologize for your offensive behavior."

Sun Shiqi nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, I am willing!"

Upon hearing these words, Chu Guang finally showed a smile on his face.

"That's OK. By the way, you shouldn't suggest that we pick it ourselves?"

Sun Shiqi was taken aback, looking at the man in front of him with a dazed expression.

"Wait, what do you mean by picking yourself?"

Chu Guang as it should be by rights said.

"You can't apologize empty-handed when you apologize? Or how did the apologize come about. We don't slander you either. At most, it's raising upwards from you."

Speaking of this, the smile that appeared on Chu Guang's face gradually collapsed.

"Why don't you...reluctant?"

Sun Shiqi has an expression that is uglier than crying, but he still brace oneself nodded.

"No! Everything is in this car...you can pick it."

These bandits!

What about the reservedness and pride of being a civilized person?

Actually robbed a ragged wastelander!   It's like a wealthy man who robbed a beggar by the side of the road. Wouldn't these people blush for their actions?   Shocked and cold!    Sun Shiqi cursed cursively in his heart, but his face was still greeted with a smile, and he did not dare to show any negative emotions.

He has gradually begun to realize that there seems to be a fundamental difference between this refuge and the refuge he has ever met.

As for Chu Guang, he didn't care what the businessman was thinking.

Because that is not important at all.

Seeing that this guy is so sensible, a happy smile appeared on his face again.

"Then I'm welcome." -    (The two chapters add up to almost 8,000 words, it is reasonable, although I am still the same me, but more than the previous two The beast is already very strong, okay, it's not too much to ask for a recommended ticket and a monthly pass~)
