Chapter 10

"King Babylon of Cuba issued the code of Hammurabi, engraved in black basalt, which has been more than 3700 years ago..."

After taking a bath, Tang Zheng took off the "shower" hanging on the branch and wrung it dry while humming a minor tune.

The original white T-shirt has turned brown yellow, with countless fine sand and mud in it.

Helped Tang Zheng filter a lot of dirty things.

Rinse it in the puddle and it is clean, but it is not completely clean.

He took a bath whose water quality was not particularly good, but when he thought that many people couldn't even drink water at this time, he could realize the freedom of bathing, and Tang Zheng didn't think about the problem of poor water quality.

happy is he who is content.

Put on your pants, it's getting late, and the sky is suffused with the last arc of orange light.

Go home!

"Snap!"

Suddenly, Tang Zheng kicked a small stone at his foot.

Looking down, I found that the stone was dark, but it reflected a weak white awn.

The lines on it are like thin white lines twisted like peeled oranges.

"Eh? Basalt?" Tang Zheng couldn't help but be surprised. The lyrics he hummed just now still carried basalt.

Speak of the devil and he will come.

According to the introduction of Encyclopedia of all things, basalt is actually a kind of volcanic stone.

It is the legacy of volcanic eruption.

Of course, more precisely, it is the main spherical rock layer that makes up the planet.

The huge energy generated by volcanic eruptions sprayed them on the surface from deep underground.

The texture of this rock is very hard. The high-temperature magma at thousands of degrees Celsius in the volcano can not melt them. Instead, it is more like plating them with a layer of "Obsidian armor". It will become harder after it ejects from the surface and reacts with the air.

It is as hard as iron. Besides a certain part of men, it is often used as a metaphor for basaltic stone.

"With basaltic stone, you can process tool resources with harder materials." Tang Zheng immediately became interested.

At this stage, the stone axes he synthesized are highly worn. It is almost necessary to change an axe to cut a tree.

And it's not fast.

It takes time and effort.

If you have a basalt stone axe, the efficiency of cutting trees will be improved a lot when wood is needed later.

And the stone knife will be sharper.

There are many benefits.

It's just that the basalt stone is too small. It's only a small area in the palm of the hand. It can't be regarded as a stone.

However, basaltic stones can appear here, indicating that there should be more around.

Tang Zheng touched his mobile phone and lit it up. He continued to look around.

Soon, he was on the ground not far away and saw a large basaltic stone lying there quietly.

This basaltic stone is one meter long, but it is not very wide. Its shape is more like a Western hot dog bag.

It doesn't matter. As long as it is thrown into the synthesis table, it will be automatically processed into stone of corresponding size.

"Luck is a little good." Tang Zheng said secretly, squatting down and holding his hands directly in the two sections of basalt.

Come on!

The teeth clenched and the gums were exposed.

The density of this stone is unexpectedly large. It is so hard under the blessing of 6.2 strength.

It took a lot of effort to throw it into the synthesis platform.

Enter 'stone'

Soon, the synthesis platform began to operate.

But the production time displayed on it stunned Tang Zheng.

[time remaining: 5:59:56]

Such a large piece of basalt can make six small pieces of stone, but it takes an hour to synthesize one piece of stone?

It seems that the material is definitely not an ordinary grade, but a further good grade.

Tang Zheng is vaguely looking forward to it.

I don't know how efficient the axe made of this kind of stone will be.

……

When she was still studying, Tang Zheng wondered why the ancients closed the city so early and banned pedestrians from night activities.

Because it's so meow... There are no entertainment facilities at all!

When he came back from the bath, he made a bonfire outside the house, ate the last handful of instant noodles, and then gulped a mouthful of water.

Contented, Tang Zheng lay flat on the board paved with weeds, staring at the ceiling in the dark.

Is your little life too good

Everyone is still struggling to get full.

I actually began to want spiritual comfort.

Expansion, too expansion.

Without entertainment programs to kill time, Tang Zheng had to go to bed early.

One of the progress of the Neolithic age is that houses have been built.

The last bag of instant noodles is consumed clean, and the food source should be considered tomorrow.

And the way to obtain raw materials for pottery.

sleep

At midnight.

Tang Zheng was awakened by a chirping sound.

Touch out the mobile phone and light it up.

Tang Zheng suddenly got goose bumps all over.

mouse!

A room full of mice!

Under the light of the mobile phone, the eyes are full of ferocious green light.

Say it's a mouse. It's much larger than the common house mouse. It's the size of two palms.

And a pair of windy ears are huge, almost the size of its head.

How on earth did these mice get in?

Tang Zheng looked at the gap between the surrounding walls that could be stuffed with fingers.

"I see."

Rats are very soft, and they can come and go freely in a small gap.

Tang Zheng vigilantly touched out the short spear placed beside him.

Got up and gave a big drink.

According to the habit of civilized society, this kind of mouse usually stamp its feet and is scared out of sight.

It can be different at this time.

Instead of running, they are more rampant squeaking and gnawing the wooden walls around them.

Tang Zheng quickly opened the atlas and looked at it.

[wood eating rat (ordinary creature)]

[characteristics: live on wood, like to live in groups, and prefer dry wood.]

[Note: no special lethality, but if you have the hobby of building houses in the wild, they will give you a headache.]

Tang Zheng: "

Who has the hobby of building a house in the wild!

Not forced out!

Everyone is forced out!

Fortunately, the non lethal point is not a great threat to yourself.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'm not going to be bitten in my sleep, only bones.

But eating wood is very annoying.

It took me two days to build the house. Now in the twinkling of an eye, the wood closest to the ground has been almost eaten by this pile of mice.

Chew on them for a while. I'm afraid it's not watching him rise a tall building or watching his building collapse.

"Die for me!" Tang Zheng, with a gloomy face, got up and came forward, took his short spear as a wooden stick and swung it in front of him!

Wake up, hunting time!

One sweep, the wood eater screamed.

[you have killed 'wood eating rat' and obtained combat skill + 0.1!]

[you have killed 'wood eating rat' and obtained combat skill + 0.1!]

A series of system prompts sound, there are more than ten prompts.

With a little more fighting skills, Tang Zheng found that he was indeed more flexible in the next rat killing operation.

Moreover, the move is fast, accurate and ruthless. It contains ingenuity. It is like a lock plug-in. When the stick reaches the place, there is no grass!

The house was full of wood eating rats, who were all killed by more than a dozen sticks.

Silence returned to the house, and the ground was covered with corpses and a smell of blood.

Well, I'm going to wash the house tomorrow.

Open the property and have a look.

This attribute of combat skills was successfully unlocked. The initial attribute is also 5 points, but this time it has been improved by more than 5 points.

Compared with the more than 3 points of strength increased after cutting wood for several days, this wave is very exaggerated.

But think about it carefully. Tang Zheng thinks he has picked up a big leak. Not everyone has this opportunity.

Nowadays, human beings can't even protect themselves. Even some small frogs and insects are usually toxic. No one dares to provoke them casually.

It's good to kill one. The combat skill of rising 0.1 is not painful.

As a result, I just ran into a bunch of non-toxic wood eating mice sent out by groups, and violently harvested a wave of combat skills.

It's a little compensation for the pain of losing a house.

Although the attribute reward is good, these wood eating mice are likely to visit again as long as their cabin is still standing for one day.

They eat wood too fast. If they are careless, they may be carried by them even at home.

I can't build a house every day, can I?

I build a house, I can't live, ah, just play.

"If only there were a cat, it would almost be a deterrent to rats." Tang Zheng smacked his mouth with a headache.

As soon as the voice fell, his expression suddenly stunned.

Wait a minute

Cat?

He remembered the little guy who came to steal water yesterday.

It looks like a wild cat.

"Why not..." Tang Zheng had a bold idea.
