Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 34: The Ultimate Weapon

Having spent so much time together, Ryder was often surprised by some of Wang Ji's decisions or actions.

It's not that these decisions were particularly wise or brilliant.

It's simply because many things are not something an uneducated child can say.

Unless he is—born a saint.

Ryder suddenly remembered a word that Ian had used to describe certain non-human beings.

There are indeed some people in this world who are born with certain knowledge, or whose perceptions differ from those of ordinary people.

"Gather people and collect some materials."

Wang Ji said, "I need a lot of sand, gravel, and clay."

"Also, I remember that the Empire's smelting furnaces can produce magma, so let's make some more magma."

These are all relatively easy to collect, very important, and in high demand.

Time is of the essence, the situation is urgent, and there is no room for waste.

We must develop new things immediately.

"it is good."

Ryder nodded in response, quickly adapting to his role as the lord's assistant.

I am also pleased that Wang Ji was so decisive.

The task was quickly assigned, and the idle miners had something to do.

This reassured some miners.

There is no such thing as a favor without a reason.

The new lord finally has a need, which is a good thing.

Whatever happens in the future, at least this new lord can ensure that everyone is well-fed and well-nourished.

Having meat at every meal, and being able to eat your fill, is a luxury you could never have imagined before.

Organized by Ryder and representatives from various regions, people began to collect materials in an orderly manner.

Having had experience with the magic hoe and fishing rod before, adapting to the new pickaxe and shovel is not difficult.

A group of people grabbed shovels and went to nearby rivers, lakes, or streams to look for targets and start digging for the corresponding materials.

"This job is much simpler than mining."

"Exactly, look at this amazing shovel. It can actually turn such a big pile of sand into such a small size that you can pick it up with one hand."

"That's amazing magic."

Some people were discussing the work they were doing.

Another place.

During a break, a worker looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, savored the fresh air by the river, and exclaimed:

"How long has it been since I breathed such fresh air?"

chapped.

The sound of shoveling came from beside him. The worker turned around and saw that the lord's assistant was also wielding a shovel and working hard.

Feeling a deep sense of respect, I immediately returned to my work.

A sense of belonging arose in my heart.

"The lord's assistant is actually working too."

“He is different from those overseers.”

One of the workers' representatives, Cole, said, "I met the lord and his assistant before anyone else here."

“Our new lord, and his assistant, are unlike any of the previous ones; they are truly upright men.”

"If it were the supervisor from before..."

Cole didn't continue, but those around him understood what he meant.

Everyone has seen it.

Those overseers who merely watched the miners work were considered the better ones; the vast majority of them would carry whips and occasionally randomly select a few people to lash out at, cursing them as lazybones and worthless bastards.

Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I'll grab someone and beat them up without holding back.

Countless people were beaten, injured, or became ill, and eventually died silently, their bodies disappearing without a trace.

In comparison, life now is like paradise.

Even when I'm working, I don't feel tired at all; instead, I feel a strange kind of motivation.

The people on the ground were enthusiastically collecting materials.

Underground, some people who had mastered forging and smelting techniques started furnaces and continuously added the corresponding materials to artificially create lava.

Wang Ji is always amazed when he sees this technology.

Creating lava artificially, even by the standards of industrial technology he remembered, was an extremely complex and dangerous undertaking.

But here, it can be done with just a specially made smelting furnace.

It's mysterious, and magical.

It's also very MC-like.

Wang Ji thought of some technology-related modules he had played before, such as thermal expansion.

One of them is a machine that only requires a few pieces of iron and a small amount of redstone to make. With a little energy, it can directly burn stones into lava, which is much more convenient than this huge smelting furnace.

However, it would probably be quite difficult to bring this module to life.

pat.

While thinking about all sorts of random things, Wang Ji had already set up the Gate of Hell in a newly developed space.

Then I jumped right in.

Hell was still the same hell, scarlet and scorching, the whole world filled with an eerie red mist.

But this time, when Wang Ji stepped into this place, he discovered some changes.

He looked up and caught a glimpse of blue in the Hell Rock out of the corner of his eye.

It is cobalt ore.

New minerals evolved from the rocks of hell.

Without delay, Wang Ji immediately picked up his pickaxe and began digging for new minerals.

There are only two newly discovered minerals: cobalt and 'adite'.

These two metallic minerals can be used to create an alloy called 'Magellium,' which is the strongest material in the Tinkers' Construct mod.

After spending half a day in Hell, mining some cobalt and aditite, which he figured was enough, Wang Ji mined some quartz and returned to the mortal world to begin other preparations.

The Tinkers' Construct mod features a unique charred furnace construction.

The main body of this pitch-black smelting furnace is made of a material called 'black brick', which is made by firing a mixture of sand, gravel and clay.

This is why Wang Ji had Ryder organize people to collect these things well in advance.

Now all conditions are in place.

Before long, a huge, black furnace was erected in a newly opened underground workshop.

It is paired with a complete system of control, fuel storage, pipeline drainage and pouring systems.

In this way, the coke smelting furnace can be officially started.

This dark furnace can be used to smelt minerals and create alloys. It uses magma as fuel, but it can smelt most common metals, including those with higher melting points than magma.

It's amazing, but that's just how Minecraft is.

After turning on the furnace controller, Wang Ji first threw in a pile of gold to create a complete set of weapon and tool molds. Then he threw in two newly mined ores, cobalt ore and Adit ore.

Soon, the two minerals turned into liquid metal and began to fuse in the smelting furnace, becoming a new Mayuling metal.

In half a day, Wang Ji mined a lot of minerals in Hell, which was more than enough for Mayuling.

However, he did not merge all the new mines into Mayuling at once, but kept some of each.

A moment later, Wang Ji took out a broadsword casting mold, opened the liquid pipe and began pouring, waiting for the flowing Mayuling molten metal to cool.

Then comes the base slab, which is also cast with Mayulin.

Yes, he wants to make a cleaver.

The cleaver is Wang Ji's favorite Tinker's Soul weapon.

This enormous weapon, almost as tall as an adult and as wide as a door, has three advantages:

High damage, high damage, and high damage.

The downsides are its relatively slow attack speed and the need to use both hands.

This is all acceptable.

At this point, two more parts are needed to complete the cleaver: two thick (tough) handles.

After considering it for a moment, Wang Ji moved the molten cobalt metal to the bottom layer of the smelting furnace and chose to use this material to cast the handle.

The reason for choosing cobalt to make the handle is that using it to make weapon parts can slightly increase attack speed.

But at this moment, Wang Ji remembered another material.

Magic Steel.

Magic steel is a very light and durable material, perhaps…

Thinking it over, Wang Ji threw a few magic steel ingots into the smelting furnace.

However, the smelting furnace got stuck.

It seems to be some kind of problem with the nature of magic steel that it cannot exist in liquid form inside the smelting furnace.

Wang Ji really wanted to hold down the W key to think, but he didn't have a W key, so he had to use his own brain.

A moment later, he opened the parts processing table and threw the handle mold and magic steel ingot directly into it.

A magic steel handle appeared at the output end.

"Okay, you guessed right."

Wang Ji looked at the part made of magic steel with great interest.

He was not disappointed.

As expected, the magic steel comes with the 'lightweight' property, making the weapon easier to swing.

In addition, its durability is also very high, far exceeding that of cobalt.

It's a good thing and can be used as a superior alternative to cobalt.

After crafting a magic steel handle, Wang Ji crafted a bone handle, as the properties of bone could increase weapon damage.

Without wasting much time, once all the parts were assembled, Wang Ji immediately placed them on the assembly table for assembly.

A brand new Mayuling cleaver was thus created.

This is the melee weapon with the highest damage output from the Tinkers' Construct mod, boasting a base damage of 20 points.

Keep in mind that even a level 5 Nether alloy sword enchanted with Sharpness only has 11 attack power.

After crafting the cleaver, Wang Ji took out the quartz he had previously mined in Hell and used it all to upgrade the cleaver.

Weapons crafted with Tinker's Construct cannot be enchanted; they can only be upgraded using materials to gain additional attributes.

Of course, there is a limit to this upgrade; a newly crafted weapon only has three built-in upgrade slots.

There's not much to say; Wang Ji simply used up all the upgrade slots and filled them all with quartz.

Quartz can make weapons sharper and more damaging.

"finished."

Wang Ji looked at the weapon attribute panel.

【Ma Yu Ling Splitting Knife】

Damage: 25.3
Attack Speed: 0.8
The entry is as follows:

Bone Shatter: Increases damage.

Lightweight: Increases attack speed.

Greed: In combat, it can deal increasingly higher damage, but at the same time it will consume more and more durability.

Decapitation 2: Increases head drop rate by 10% per level.

Sharpness 3: Increases attack power.

A standard broadsword consists of four parts: a Mayulin wide blade, a Mayulin large plate, a magic steel tough handle, and a bone tough handle.

The 'Greed' attribute is inherent to the Magorium metal, 'Bone Crusher' comes from the bone handle, and 'Decapitation' is an attribute common to cleaver-type weapons.

The sharpness comes from the use of a lot of quartz for upgrades.

Clang.

Wang Ji picked up the brand-new broadsword and slung it over his shoulder.

This scene was so incongruous that anyone who saw it would suspect that Wang Ji was about to collapse at any moment.

But this is destined not to happen.

With a casual wave of his hand, Wang Ji unleashed a massive, door-wide cleaver that whistled through the air, dancing in mid-air with tremendous power.

That cleaver, taller than Wang Ji himself, was like plastic—no, more like a piece of paper—which he could manipulate at will, swinging it whenever he wanted and stopping whenever he wanted.

It highlights the ability to handle heavy tasks with ease.

As the saying goes, with a new weapon, everything looks like it can be chopped down.

Wang Ji was really itching to try it, so he immediately made an armor stand and hung an iron breastplate that the guards had worn on it.

Then——

Boom!

The cleaver struck the armor stand with a deafening roar, like thunder.

The blow bent and deformed the breastplate, forcing it to be thrown into the furnace for reforging. The armor frame couldn't withstand the pressure and shattered.

The Nether Alloy Sword can now be officially retired.

With that kind of power, if he drank a level 2 strength potion, someone like the old steward could probably shatter his shield with a single strike, and the second strike would force him to close his eyes—in a very unsettling way.

He'll be shredded in three seconds.

Nodding in satisfaction, Wang Ji sheathed his cleaver, when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind him.

Turning around, I realized it was Ryder.

He ran up to Wang Ji, took a deep breath to compose himself, and said, "There's a situation."

"somebody is coming."
