Wasteland Code Survival

Chapter 436: Luoyang Shovel

This kind of radiation fluctuation Qi Lin is very familiar with, exactly the same as the pile of crystals dug out from the monster's juvenile body he just absorbed!

Through a thick frozen soil layer similar to a barrier, such a strong energy fluctuation can actually be emitted, Qi Lin can't believe how many such crystals are buried on the dome of this underground cave.

For Qi Lin, this crystal can be directly absorbed and completely transformed into his own strength and level!

Qi Lin's breathing couldn't help but become a little quick.

After inspecting the entire underground cave, Qi Lin raised his head and looked at the dome exuding the unique energy fluctuations of crystals, confirming that he had no living creatures.

This underground cave has a large area, but the height of the dome is not high, only about five or six meters on average, and the highest point is less than ten meters, and the location of the buried crystals is just above this average.

Since the Herrens area is entirely a battlefield like a plain, except for the outer ring of mountains like iron walls, Qi Lin did not carry any ropes, hooks, etc., but this is not difficult. Qi Lin, after confirming the location of the excavation, Qi Lindang began to move the piles of bituminous uranium ore over and put them under this location.

Generally speaking, uranium ore in its natural state is very stable, and the radioactivity naturally released through its slow decay is not strong, and like fuel rods made of highly enriched uranium, humans can even take it directly by hand—— The reason why the reactor of the Herrens Power Station produces such high-intensity radiation is because the spent fuel that has undergone fission reaction is exposed to the outside.

Of course, in addition to spent fuel, those fuel rods that have not been used will also rapidly undergo fission reactions under the action of the monster's special catalytic ability, thereby releasing strong enough radiation energy for its absorption.

And this vein is the same.

Although the radioactivity of bituminous uranium itself will make people who have been around for a long time feel uncomfortable, the amount of radiation will never reach the level of lethal in a short time, but after the catalysis of these monsters, the original radioactivity is not as strong as imagined. The ore is completely changed.

Under this unknown catalysis, the uranium-235 and uranium-238 in the ore started a slow fission reaction in the presence of a large amount of impurities, thus emitting a large amount of radiation into the environment.

If ordinary people are unprotected and exposed to these minerals, they will experience dizziness and nausea in less than ten minutes. If they come into direct contact with these minerals, their skin will become red, swollen and itchy within a short period of time. It's blood blisters, peeling...

This vein, or the part of the vein around this underground cave, is no longer a normal uranium vein. This is like a super nuclear power plant that has a leakage accident—using human existing technology and Ability, it is impossible to mine the uranium contained here, but for these monsters who feed on radiation, this is a perfect nest.

Qi Lin is constantly carrying these dangerous and deadly ores, which are full of radioactivity for ordinary people to avoid, but for Qi Lin, on the contrary, this little radiation energy is not enough to even plug the teeth. .

After Qi Lin worked hard for more than half an hour, a cone-shaped round platform nearly five meters high and made of piles of pitch uranium ore appeared in the underground cavity, rubbing his dirty hands against his pants. Qi Lin climbed from the slope on one side of the round platform to the top of the round platform.

It is less than one meter away from the dome of the underground cave. Qi Lin can barely let his head hit the dome unless he squats on top of the round table.

In this position, Qi Lin felt the energy wave more intense.

Reached out, touched the frozen soil on the top of his head, and tapped it lightly. The dull sound made Qi Lin understand that this underground cave and the space above the head may contain the kind of crystalline space, the frozen soil The thickness is at least half a meter.

The hardness of frozen soil is very high, because almost all the water in the soil exists in the form of ice crystal particles, and the density of the soil itself is very high, which is also mixed with a lot of fine gravel.

Most people want to dig deep pits in tundra. The most commonly used tools are excavators and pneumatic picks. With this metal folding engineer shovel carried by Qi Lin, less than half of the half-meter-thick frozen soil layer is dug. No matter how good the quality is, an engineer shovel must be scrapped.

However, this problem was not a problem at all in front of Qi Lin, who was already a Level 4 evolutionary.

With a slight movement of the mind, a uniquely shaped "bone shovel" appeared in Qi Lin's hand. This bone shovel has a perfectly ergonomically curved grip, and the half-tube-shaped shovel head at the end is two full lengths. At ten centimeters, the edge of the shovel head is extremely sharp. With Qi Lin's nearly forty points of strength, it can cut into the hard frozen soil like tofu.

And the semi-cylindrical bucket can easily bring out the excavated debris-if someone who is keen on tomb robbers or archaeology sees this weird shovel made by Qi Lin with bones, he will definitely recognize this thing Prototype--

This alive and well is a famous Luoyang shovel!

Qi Lin stuck the front end of this bone shovel like Luoyang shovel into the frozen soil layer, and then turned it vigorously by half a circle, and a large section of cylindrical frozen soil was separated from the surroundings. Qi Lin pulled out the bone shovel again and brought it Out of this frozen soil, a circular hole appeared on the top of the dome.

Qi Lin made seven or eight identical round holes one after another, and then gradually expanded them based on these round holes, and dug down the frozen soil around the round holes.

In less than an hour, Qi Lin dug out a shallow pit that was half a meter wide and 20 to 30 centimeters deep.

The next step is the mechanical repetition-punching with a bone spatula, expanding the hole, and finally digging out all the surrounding frozen soil...

After several hours of hard work, between Qi Lin and the space where the crystals were hidden, there was finally only a layer of frozen soil less than five centimeters thick.

Across this layer of frozen soil, the energy fluctuations were already very obvious. Even the energy gathering vortex in Qi Lin's body was dragged by this energy fluctuation, and the speed could not help speeding up a bit.

After a few taps, Qi Lin could already confirm that above this underground cave was another hidden hollow cave.

Although I don’t know how the slug-like monster was able to dig up the frozen soil and then seal it, or that the cave above has another secret passage, but Qi Lin understands one thing-that is the crystals stored on it. Absolutely enough to be promoted to a level five evolutionary!
