"The 12 second-generation mutated maggots are already ten centimeters long and four centimeters thick. They consume too much carrion every day and the supply is almost out of supply. I decided to eliminate half of them."
Six maggots were caught, and Shen Cong dissected one and found no sign of an active core.
However, I think that flies need to pupate before they can become adults. Perhaps they need to grow into blow flies before they can discover the active core.
Maggots are said to have extremely high nutritional value.
Seeing the five writhing maggots left, Shen Cong felt sick in his stomach. He would never eat such a thing unless he was so hungry that he felt dizzy!
"It's a pity to throw it away... Maybe we can make a fishing hook for fishing?" Shen Cong thought vividly, "The small lake where the water is drawn cannot hide behemoths like dogs and crocodiles, and other small mutated fish will be hidden in the activity. If they don’t pose a threat to me, it’s good to catch them for meat.”
When you have an idea, just implement it. Shen Cong is a man of action.
After the idea of fishing with maggots came up, he immediately deduced it and found that it was indeed feasible, but he needed to replace the fishing rod with a metal one and the fishing line with a steel wire one, otherwise he might not be able to catch mutant fish.
"Steel wire is easy to handle, I have it, but I don't have any steel pipe suitable for fishing rods. I have to look for it in the ruins. It's getting dark, so I'll look for it tomorrow."
Putting aside the thought of fishing, Shen Cong began to sort out the active cores he had harvested.
2 pairs of sickle chelicerae of the digger, 1 pair of incisors of the watermelon knife of the big-toothed rat, 3 wolf fangs, 4 Tairitian fangs, 1 pair of tumor pig full moon scimitars, 1 queen ant plate armor, the remaining The most numerous ones are the weak active core of the short fierce ant colony and the 14 bone spurs chopped from the body of the ferocious cat.
There are also 3 activated peach peach pits, I don’t know if they count.
Having too many active cores is a waste. Shen Cong doesn't know what he is doing by collecting so many active cores. Such active cores cannot be swallowed.
Maybe it could be used to feed blowflies. Shen Cong threw a soldier ant over the upper jaw. Variant No. 1 immediately lay on it, pecking it here and there with its mouthparts, eating it bit by bit.
Shen Cong tilted his eyes at the variant No. 1 in the glass bottle. He didn't expect that this guy could really eat the active core. However, using the active core to feed a blowfly was a wasteful behavior that Shen Cong would not continue. Research on variant No. 1 is nearing completion.
Once the second-generation mutated maggot pupae turn into flies and the comparison is completed, Shen Cong will kill these insects.
Feeding flies, an insect that eats and poops at the same time, in the carriage is simply challenging your tolerance for hygiene.
"Then, let's use the queen ant's plate armor to modify the Optimus Prime 1.0 active armor."
After thinking for a while, Shen Cong made a decision.
Dog crocodile... mutated survivor... There are many dangers in the apocalypse, and he is about to approach the city. He cannot stay in the King Kong vehicle all the time. A set of active armor that can ensure his safety in a short period of time is particularly important.
Take out the drawings and start designing a renovation plan.
Shen Cong's pencil drawings are very realistic, and the talent he has cultivated through DIY work over the years can ensure that he can completely draw the plans he wants on the drawings at any time.
"The wrist joint at the elbow needs to be modified. The simple steel plate and steel wire connection somewhat restricts flexibility... If the ant's nodule is polished into a bowl-bottom shape and changed to a three-stage style, the effect should be better... I have a few Nodules? 9 for worker ants, 4 for soldier ants..."
"The knees and shoulders are made of soldier ant nodules, exactly 4 of them, and the elbows, wrists, and ankles are assembled with worker ant nodules, which just allows the joints to be flexible... The waist, neck and hip bones also need to be improved. Is it possible to use steel wire to make it into a chainmail form?”
The production process of chain mail is actually relatively simple, Shen Cong learned it before the end of the world, but after having a body armor, chain mail is of little use.
Now Shen Cong has picked up this manual technique again.
Chain mail is threaded through rings one by one. If it is made by hand, the material can be screw washers or key rings. If these two are not available, you can also use steel wire or iron wire to wrap it yourself. Shen Cong found an iron rod as thick as his finger, and then began to wind the wire tightly.
With his strength, the wire was easily wound around and fixed. Then pull out the iron rod and use pliers to reduce it along a straight line, and the ring-sized steel rings are ready.
Theoretically, the smaller the rings of the chainmail and the denser the weaving, the higher the defense. After making a bunch of steel rings, the only thing left was to weave and connect the rings. After a while, several pieces of chain mail were quickly woven according to the plan on the drawing.
Next, Shen Cong began to polish the nodules and the queen ant plate armor.
There is an electric grinder, and the grinding is very fast... In the middle of the night, all the modified materials have been completed by Shen Cong, and assembly can begin.
However, Shen Cong didn't assemble it immediately. It was already late at night and it was time for him to eat two active peaches and have a good sleep.
…
Army Day.
It had nothing to do with Shen Cong. After getting up, I immediately felt the progress of myself and the King Kong.
The two active peaches were indeed very effective, and Shen Cong judged that he had almost reached the level of three bulls with one foot. The activity level of King Kong has also increased from 27.1% to 30%, a total increase of 2.9%. This was without Shen Cong fully guiding the King Kong to absorb the activity.
With the active peach, Shen Cong can free up his energy and focus on other tasks.
In fact, he is now fully guiding the King Kong, and it is impossible to make much progress. The external free activity has returned to a standard concentration, and the amount absorbed has been reduced a lot.
If there is another doomsday storm or another heavy rain, with the abundant free activity and Shen Cong's guidance, it will not be a problem to increase by 5% a day.
Of course, Shen Cong didn't want that kind of super catastrophic weather to happen again.
It's nice to live a stable life.
…
Taking out the welding gun, Shen Cong began to continue the unfinished work last night, assembling the active armor.
In the new armor, the steel plates were cut into smaller pieces, and the joints were connected with knots and chainmail, and the welding was more careful. So after spending a morning to assemble the active armor, the entire armor looked like More in line with human body dynamics. The chest and joints are dominated by the active core, and the defense is greatly enhanced.
Originally, the active armor used the fangs as the active hub. Now the fangs are embedded on both sides of the helmet, and the queen ant plate armor on the chest is used as the overall active hub.
This was not decided by Shen Cong, it was a spontaneous function of the active core. When the active armor was alloyed with King Kong, the activity was naturally coordinated by the queen ant plate armor.
Disconnected from the King Kong and supported by the active hub, the activity loss rate is greatly reduced.
Sustainable combat capabilities have been comprehensively improved.
Bang!
After chewing up a fried ant leg, Shen Cong put on the reactive armor. Because the chainmail acted as buttons, it was much easier to put on the armor than before.
With the armor on you, try out various moves.
"Well, it's very good. There are almost no restrictions on my movements. If I modify the details, it will be perfect!"
Shen Cong made a boxer's punching motion, and the quality of the execution was quite high.
Click, lower the visor on the helmet.
Shen Cong opened the outer armor of the King Kong and walked out. The morning sun shone through, and the surface of the newly polished armor shone with a bright white silver light.
"The overall framework of the 1.0 model is continued, and there are many changes in details. Compared with the 1.0 model, whether it is comfort, flexibility, or defense, it has been significantly improved... It is called Optimus Prime 1.0 explosive battle. Armor, the name is too long, let’s just call it Explosion Armor!"
Half an hour later, there were new changes to the explosive armor.
A newly repaired infrared thermal imaging camera is installed on the left eye of the helmet, which can be pushed up and down; a hidden buckle is installed on the left shoulder, which can fix the hand crossbow; there is also a hidden buckle on the right shoulder, which can hang arrows Bag; there are three hidden buttons on the waist to hang fang daggers, slingshots, and steel ball bags.
There are hidden buckles on the left and right thighs to fix military spurs and engineer shovels; there are hidden buckles on the chest to fix the hanging telescope; and finally, there is a pocket inside the chainmail armor on the abdomen to store the pistol.
Heavily armed battle armor.
This is the true face of Optimus Prime’s 1.0 revamped active armor.
…
The explosive armor was born, and Shen Cong's sense of security skyrocketed.
After taking a shower and shaving my hair, I wrapped fried ant legs in the leaves collected on the road and put them in my mouth as a snack. All weapons and equipment were brought, including fang javelins, fang arrows, reactive steel balls, and reactive bullets. All equipment that could be alloyed was made of King Kong alloy.
Ensure maximum power.
Shen Cong began to explore the ruins of Yinping Town.
