"... Grind the 'Thorn of Suffering' into powder, then blend it into a metal solution of brass or other materials, follow the expected route, and wait for it to solidify, and you can start to use this resource..."
Colin silently recited the contents of the "hint". As far as the method of use was concerned, it was not too difficult, nor was it too complicated.
But he didn't expect that this thing could be used like this...
The most troublesome thing about the "Thorn of Suffering" is that Colin currently has no other way to melt and shape it...
But if it was just about grinding out some crumbs, he could still do it.
Just pick a corner and rub it, and you can scrape out some powder...
"However, the real toner still needs to rely on the 'lathe'..."
Colin touched his chin. It would be impossible for them to manufacture a lathe used in modern industry with just the knowledge they had accumulated over the past few days.
After all, no matter how hard you try to restore civilization, you can't do it in a short period of time.
Unless you use that "level five custom design drawing"...
However, Colin still wanted to convert this thing into combat power, so there was no way he could waste it here.
And they do have similar plans. If it just requires simple processing, Colin already has a plan.
That is, remove the wheels of the chariot and use the chariot itself as a lathe workpiece...
Someone has proposed this plan before, but because it is directly synthesized using design drawings and there is currently no place where it can be used, the idea has always been just an idea and is only kept on record until it is needed someday.
After all, a tank that can consume coal with super-high efficiency can, with some modification, become an equally powerful power source.
Apparently, this idea can now go from design to reality...
It doesn't need too much modification, it just needs to be used to rub the "Thorns of Suffering". With the power of the chariot, it can easily grind this thing into powder.
"... Come to think of it, the Thorn of Suffering seems to be a kind of universal material in mysticism."
Colin casually took out a small piece of "Thorn of Suffering" from his "backpack" and took a look at it. The pitch-black vine with a metallic luster was covered with many thorns of varying lengths.
The length of each "thorn of suffering" is different, the shortest is less than ten centimeters, and the longest is one or two meters long...
At their "roots", there is a clear mixture of flesh and metal, a bit like the roots of plants...
"I don't know what those 'suffering people' did to have something like this growing on their bodies..."
Colin muttered in his heart.
In a sense, if you put some random stuff on this thing and twist it together, it can become a pretty good melee weapon similar to a mace.
Without looking at it any further, Colin put it into his backpack, took another look at the futuristic basement, and led the team into it.
At present, what they have touched is only a small part of this "barrier generating device"...
Colin looked towards the center of the underground area, where there was a brass column with a relatively special "metal ball" placed on it.
