Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 89 Preparation
"While bows and Tang swords cannot be upgraded directly, they can be processed into higher-level ones using a workbench, which can be considered an upgrade."

Because these ordinary workbenches are not currently capable of producing bronze-level bows and arrows.

So he made the black iron grade ones first, and when the bronze grade workbench was free, he processed these black iron grade bows and arrows to the bronze grade.

"With long-range bows and arrows and firearms, the Tang sword seems to be of little use."

"However, in order to prevent possible close combat, we still need to produce the Tang horizontal sword."

Although I haven't seen any special effects of Tang Hengdao yet, maybe it will have special effects if the level is high enough?

In particular, for the strong, the effect of melee magic weapons should be better than thermal weapons.

Nine workbenches were running at the same time, and including the time for collecting small pieces of materials, it took only half an hour for two hundred black iron-grade longbows to be made.

In addition, he also made two thousand black iron-grade arrows.

As for the Tang horizontal sword, since there were ready-made ones at Chang Xin's place, Liu Hen did not make more and decided to wait until a bronze-level workbench was freed up before processing it.

In the following time, he took out large pieces of copper ore, continuously collected them into small pieces, and removed impurities such as slag and stone mixed in them.

He stopped only after collecting ten large pieces of copper ore in one go and obtaining a total of more than 7,000 small pieces of copper ore.

'That should be enough for now.'

Seeing that there was still a lot of time left in the countdown for upgrading the bronze-level workbench, Liu Hen took some time to take a nap.

When I woke up, it was already early night outside, and at this time, the upgrade of the workbench was finally completed.

A new recipe appeared on the bronze level 3 workbench again. The new recipe was beyond his expectation, it was actually the [Cooking Furnace].

The cooking stove, as the name suggests, is specifically used for cooking. There are more places for putting ingredients than a campfire, a total of ten, so there are more varieties to try.

It is worth mentioning that the recipes made by the campfire will be shared with the cooking stove.

Unlike a campfire, which can only be used by yourself, a cooking stove can also be set with permissions. Once you add someone's name, that person can use the cooking stove.

When outsiders use the cooking stove, they can only take ingredients from the storage cabinets inside the home building, and the process of taking them out is to transfer them directly to the storage cabinets.

In other words, even if the other party is not given access to the locker, the other party can directly use the ingredients to cook, but if Liu Hen does not give access to the locker, the other party will not be able to use the food after cooking.

"Does this mean I'm going to be completely free?"

The appearance of the cooking stove made Liu Hen happy. This way, he would have more time to do other things.

Because the cooking stove must also be placed in the home building, and all the facilities in the home building currently require the support of the campfire level.

Once the campfire is gone, all equipment in the home building except the workbench will become ineffective.

The same goes for the Home Cannon. Without the blessing of the bonfire, the Home Cannon will become a decoration.

And so far, only I can use the bonfire.

All you need to do is control the bonfire, and you will be in control of everything.

'Not bad. '

Liu Hen was very happy.

However, because a lot of food had already been produced and he had decided to move soon, he did not make the cooking stove immediately to avoid it taking up space during the move.

'First, make more home cannons and shells.'

He once again chose black powder as the material, first produced a large amount of black powder, and then used black powder to make smokeless powder.

After smokeless gunpowder was produced, he began to produce a large number of shells for the Homeland Cannon.

The process is a bit complicated, but fortunately it is very simple, like a fool mode, you only need to choose the recipe and the materials.

It took Liu Hen several hours to make two hundred boxes of artillery shells in one go before he stopped.

"One hundred pills per box, a total of 20,000 pills. That should be enough for now!"

Next, he began making the home cannon.

The production time of a Home Cannon is one hour.

The countdown for the production of the first home cannon had just begun when Chang Xin hurried over.

"Some sneaky people appeared nearby, they are probably Hong Ming's men."

Chang Xin said in a deep voice: "Everyone I went out to check on disappeared. When I went to check on him personally, I was attacked. However, I killed one person. He was also a cyborg, and his cyborg type was similar to those of the men I recruited."

"Coming so soon?"

Liu Hen's face turned cold: "Have you arranged everyone?"

"It's all arranged."

Chang Xin nodded: "The people in the dark should be preparing something. Although there are no plans to attack for the time being, our people are now unable to go out. If those who go out come back at this time, they will probably not be able to come back."

"The homestead cannon will take some time, so let's get someone to move the bows and arrows first."

Liu Hen took out all the Black Iron bows and arrows he had made earlier and said, "Have them taken away and distributed. This longbow has an effective range of 60 meters and a maximum range of 180 meters. It should be quite useful."

"Ok."

Chang Xin nodded, took some and left, and soon called ten people to help carry it.

The Wu brothers and sisters are also helping.

Many people outside were busy because they realized that a war might be about to break out.

In this atmosphere, the ordinary deserters who had just entered the campfire camp were all nervous, but the modified people were nervous but excited. Because fighting meant the opportunity to make merit.

Once you have made a contribution, you may be promoted to a high position and become a pardoned soldier.

Liu Hen was not idle either. He took advantage of this time to upgrade the other level 1 constant temperature bonfires. He wanted to upgrade the bonfires on all four sides of the camp wall to the maximum constant temperature level to provide vision for others.

In the dark, ordinary people's vision is very weak and not suitable for defense.

Moreover, the field of vision is so poor that it is difficult to notice if someone touches you.

After consuming more than a hundred large pieces of wood, Liu Hen raised the bonfires at the four corners of the camp walls to the maximum constant temperature level, which greatly increased the visibility inside the camp.

Not only inside the camp, but also outside, even ordinary villagers can see a hundred meters away.

The cyborgs have better vision and can barely see two hundred meters away.

In this way, it is basically impossible for the enemy to sneak up and launch a surprise attack.

"So warm..."

"This……"

"What happened? Why did visibility increase so much all of a sudden?"

Many of the refugees who had just arrived at the camp, especially those who were working outside, were shocked and confused.

Because the upgrade of the bonfire is at a level that is invisible to outsiders, and when the level is higher, it only increases the shelter range and visibility within the shelter range, and the flames can be transmitted farther.

But the brightness of the bonfire will not increase significantly.

Therefore, no one knew what was going on.

The same was true for Chang Xin. Seeing Liu Hen walking around several bonfires, she could only guess that Liu Hen must have done something to the bonfires, but she didn't know the details.

Her first thought was that Liu Hen might have used the bonfire to set up something similar to her battle formation, rather than the bonfire itself becoming stronger.

At this moment, with a total of five bonfires with constant temperature and maximum level superimposed inside and outside—

Within a radius of two to three hundred meters, it became almost like dusk on Earth when the sun had completely set, and the visibility suddenly increased significantly.

Including corners where the campfire cannot be seen, and even inside the megalithic buildings inside the camp.

There was clearly no light source visible, but visibility was about the same everywhere.

This was the feeling of everyone within the shelter of the campfire.

Outside the sheltered area, people in the dark could not see anything unusual except the bonfire.

It was truly warm as spring inside the sheltered area, but outside the wind was still howling coldly, with the temperature ranging from minus 20 to minus 30 degrees Celsius, like two different worlds.

In order to avoid alerting the people in the dark, Liu Hen was not in a hurry to install the only home cannon in his space backpack.

With Hong Ming's ability, a home cannon would not have much effect, and the attack angle of the home cannon was limited.

"By the way, the thermal suit's buff seems to stack with Chang Xin's pardon. Can it stack with her own abilities?"

Hong Ming must have been awakened a long time ago, and his strength must be far beyond Chang Xin. Chang Xin is the combat power center of the Campfire Camp. She is like the source of power, radiating to every transformed person, making their strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

Once Chang Xin dies, the blessing effects on the cyborgs and even the pardoned soldiers like Zong Ni will most likely disappear, and the strength of the entire campfire camp will plummet in an instant.

"Just in case, I'd better give her a promotion as well."

Liu Hen returned to his home building again, came to one of the workbenches, found the recipe for a warm headgear, and chose to make it directly.

He had previously encountered five tree root monsters thirty kilometers away from the campfire camp, and he collected a total of five tree cores.

Four of the tree cores were used up, leaving only one.

"There's only one left anyway, and it'll just take up space in my space backpack."

A minute later, a new warm hood was made.

"Chang Xin, come here for a moment." He spoke directly, his voice not loud, but he believed Chang Xin could hear him.

Sure enough, not long after, Chang Xin entered the inner camp.

Liu Hen pushed open the door and walked out, took out the warm headgear he had just made and handed it to her.

"This is..." Chang Xin's heart moved.

"You already have the other four pieces, and with the warm head covering, it's a complete set that creates a special effect."

Liu Hen said: "Try it first and see if the suit's effects can be combined with your abilities."

"Ok."

Chang Xin quickly put on the hood according to Liu Hen's instructions.

Soon, the hood was put on, and her clothes, pants, boots and gloves began to move, slowly merging at the edges, gradually turning into a jumpsuit, covering every inch of her skin.

An invisible force appeared and blessed her.

"My strength has increased a bit."

Chang Xin was surprised and said, "Although the amount of the main ability [Pardon] has not changed, the other abilities have all been improved, but the improvement is limited."

“It’s good to have an improvement.”

Liu Hen smiled and said, "Come in, I have something for you. Let's go big this time. Let's give it a try. If we get a chance, we can capture Hong Ming. We may not have to kill him, unless he doesn't know what's good for him."
