Chapter 34 Trap and Harvest
Chapter 34 Trap and Harvest
"Hey!"
The black eagle, with a wingspan of ten meters, seemed to have been hit, and several black feathers twirled and fell through the air.
It immediately rose higher and flew towards the woods to the south.
"Brother Ce, could this Black Hawk be the one we used to raid our base? It's come knocking on our door so quickly?"
Huang Feipeng was somewhat uneasy. Faced with the giant eagle, a dominant force in the sky, they had no way to deal with it and could only passively defend themselves.
If he didn't have superpowers, this shot most likely wouldn't have hit.
"How would I know why they came here? We're just testing the firearms today. If there are no problems, we'll start mass production."
"Only if everyone is armed can we re-enter the giant eagle's territory. There are about twenty enormous nests there. If we sweep them all away, our life level might advance again!"
Sixteen crystal cores were found in just one bird's nest; if the entire nest were searched, it would be a huge fortune.
Seeing how well the two rifles worked, other factories started to get interested.
Especially at the Fuhuakang Electronics Factory, there are quite a few mudskippers at the end of their first hunting route. If they had guns, hunting them would be much easier.
However, no one has yet stepped forward to ask Sheng Hong's men for the rifle. Sheng Hong would never produce such a trump card, so asking would be pointless.
After the black eagles in the sky left, the three hunting teams set off one after another.
Nowadays, no one can truly be free from worries about food and drink, so the people in the park still follow the daily routine of working at sunrise and resting at sunset.
That's how it is with gathering and hunting; you live off the land and water, and if you don't work, you'll go hungry.
"Manager Zhang, Captain Wang, are we going to open up the third hunting route again today?"
Having learned from their previous experience, Xiao Yong and the others basically only carried two weapons: either a long spear with a Tang sword or a large bow with a Tang sword.
Wang Ce shook his head and said, "We're here today to test the guns and familiarize everyone with the firing procedure of bolt-action rifles."
"We are all intellectuals who have gone through nine years of compulsory education. After we get used to the shooting skills of the three-point line in the next two days, we will open up the third gathering and hunting route."
Even with a rifle like the Liaoning 13 from World War II, as long as you understand the basic shooting principles, there won't be much error.
Because of modern machining, the precision is very high. By aligning the three points of the sight, the shooting accuracy will be very high.
Moreover, due to material limitations, Liaoning No. 13 is currently in the trial production phase, with a very low margin for error. Therefore, it needs to undergo rigorous testing before it can be officially put into production.
Otherwise, any mistake in any link will cause subsequent production to come to a standstill.
For two consecutive days, none of the five factories dared to be greedy or make rash advances, because everyone knew that if the giant eagles ahead could not be completely eradicated, they would not be able to open up the third hunting and gathering route.
These past two days, we've been living off our savings; the food we snatched from the supermarket is almost all gone.
Especially now that the three of them have become first-tier evolved beings, their food consumption has increased exponentially, and the food stored in the office can no longer support their continued consumption.
So for two consecutive days, they practiced shooting skills and squad/platoon tactics of the Liaoning No. 13.
"Captain Wang, we've caught something with our animal traps!"
The workers at Suqu Jewelry Factory had a gleam in their eyes as they inspected the locations where animal traps had been set.
They originally thought that the third hunting route was devoid of plants and wild animals.
I never expected that the animal traps I set yesterday would actually catch the prey.
"Chirp chirp—"
"This giant rat is as big as a dog; it's really scary!"
A giant field mouse, the size of a corgi, panicked and fled when it saw the group approaching.
However, its hind legs were caught in a trap, and the connecting iron chain was taut. After struggling for a few moments, it gradually calmed down due to the pain.
"Ten animal traps caught two large rats and a half-meter-long gray rabbit."
After everyone finished cleaning up, they found that the animal traps were quite effective, hitting three out of ten targets, which was very efficient.
You know, we spent the whole day yesterday on the second hunting route and only managed to catch one carnivorous prey.
"It seems the hunting trail isn't barren, but rather that the animals have all hidden themselves."
After Wang Ce and his two companions evolved, their food consumption increased dramatically. At this moment, they were preparing to roast their three prey over a fire and eat them.
"Brother Ce, these three things are all alive, should we start some farming?"
"It's better to have your own than to have your own. If we can raise them, we can become self-sufficient in crystal cores in the future."
Looking at the lame giant rat and gray rabbit, Huang Feipeng suddenly had a brilliant idea.
After all, it's not a long-term solution to always be gathering and hunting; relying on the weather for a living can easily lead to periods of hunger and hunger.
"We'll talk about it later. These things aren't easy to keep alive."
"Just finding a breeding site and people to guard it is a problem, and the feed is also a headache. We don't even have enough to eat ourselves, so how are we going to feed them?"
Wang Ce dissected his prey and casually stuffed the three crystal cores into his pocket.
I learned this dissection technique from Master Xu.
Wang Ce didn't throw away the internal organs; even though they had a slightly fishy smell, he still had to eat them.
Having transmigrated, even the pickiest eater will now eat anything.
Some internal organs whose composition was truly indistinguishable were placed on animal traps to see if they could catch large carnivores.
Even though the animals here possess crystal cores and are incredibly powerful, they still feel pain.
It's the same principle as a small fishhook being able to catch a big fish.
We're not going far today, so over a hundred people from the six factories came out, and there weren't nearly enough to go around for three small prey.
In the end, only a few factory team leaders sat with Wang Ce and his two companions and ate roasted rabbit.
The person in charge of the barbecue was a canteen chef brought by Shi Guoping, and then the chef took out a large pot for stir-frying vegetables.
First, the two large rats were fried, and then boiling water was added. Soon, the soup turned white.
He quickly sprinkled some salt, added some unknown wild vegetables, and a pot of fragrant and delicious meat soup was ready.
The other workers shared a pot of soup and ate heartily, and many even had the idea of coming out to work every day.
It may be dangerous outside, but at least there's food to eat.
He touched the crystal cores of the three prey in his pocket, and then combined them with the sixteen crystal cores he had previously found in the Black Hawk's lair.
Wang Ce suddenly realized that obtaining these crystal cores wasn't so difficult after all; as long as he found the right method, his efficiency would naturally improve.
Since animals can condense crystal nuclei within their bodies, can plants do the same? Or are there any natural minerals similar to spirit stones, containing energy? These questions remain to be explored.
Human civilization has been able to develop rapidly because it started with daring to think and act. Now that we have traveled through time, we cannot limit our thinking.
A single crystal core can enable an ordinary person to undergo initial evolution. In the future, everyone will definitely undergo initial evolution. To acquire a large number of crystal cores, start by shooting Black Hawk!
