Chapter 222 Art Creation Platform
I had some immature ideas about the unexpected gains I caught from the beach.
The first one is the gloomy wood that was born at some time. If I could get a piece of wood that was as big as a piece of wood, I could make a coffin and sell it to Empress Dowager Cixi.
But judging from the size of the wood I had, it was only enough to create an affordable grave for small cats.
"At least it's okay to make a small decoration?" I played with the piece of wood and sat on the chair thinking.
This kind of wood is formed by earthquakes, floods, mudslides burying all the above-ground plants and organisms into low-lying places such as ancient riverbeds and other low-lying places, and some trees buried in the silt. Under the hypoxia and high pressure state, under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, ebony has been formed over thousands of years of carbonization, so it is also called "charred wood".
Due to its unique properties of sinking when entering water and not rotting or decaying, ebony has been used as an evil-proof object, making handicrafts, Buddha statues, and amulets.
Judging from the generation time of gloomy wood, there are some articles here.
It usually takes only thousands or tens of thousands of years to produce gloomy trees, which is out of reach for humans, but it is very short-lived in the face of geological activities based on tens of millions of years as a unit of progress.
From the fact that I was able to catch it on the beach in front of Zach's house, I could see that it was not buried deep, and it was definitely not the kind of hidden underground as I imagined.
Then the question is, how did this dark wood come about?
The first possibility is that on the island where the Ore Town is located, volcanoes, earthquakes and other geological disasters have occurred, carrying a large number of trees into the sea, forming a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, creating this gloomy wood.
But from the perspective of time, if there was such a serious disaster thousands of years ago, today's Mount Mades would still be full of devastations and ravines. It would never look as peaceful as today's time.
The second possibility is that on the island thousands of years ago, there were events caused by factors other than natural disasters, which caused the wood to be buried actively or passively sunk to the seabed, forming special fossils.
——And ninety percent of this situation are caused by humans.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but poke my eyes out of the window, looking at the gradually dim sky outside, watching the birds flying all over the sky, leisurely imagining this major event thousands of years ago.
Is it a war? a sacrifice? a civilization evolution? or an unknown mysterious event?
From Father Carter's historical manuscripts, we can see that there was no birthplace or residence of human beings in the offshore thousands of years ago. The ones occupying this place were still the ancient jungles and primitive animals that did not know whether there were Han or Wei or Jin.
At that time, only the predecessor of Zach's organization, who had the courage to explore the offshore, had the possibility of setting foot on this small island.
So, was it because the sailors of that time that had come here and there were still unknown stories?
The years of the past have turned into ashes and dust, and they are nowhere to be found, and they seep into every corner of the island and blend into every mouthful of air I breathe...
I arranged the things I caught on the table one by one, and looked at the jadeite, which was ranked second. The jadeite ore emitted a cold light, and a hint of imperceptible gray was dyed in the dim room.
According to Zach, this jadeite rough stone may be a gem ordered by Sebala, but the old saying goes that only those who are virtuous will be there, and it will also mean that if you lose something, you will be able to pick it up. I don’t plan to tell Sebala about it again.
After all, if you don’t have this thing, can it be called greed?
The third thing is a piece of metal that exudes a special luster. In the Sebala store’s collection, it is currently known that it has ordinary gold, silver, copper and iron, as well as a large number of mitrish silver and mountain copper. In this case, it is also necessary to rely on imported special steel ingots, which must be extremely precious in a sense.
I tried to detect the properties of this metal, but after tossing and turning for a long time, I couldn't find any different characteristics from other steel ingots.
The strange place is also here. This thirty-cm-long steel ingot is in the shape of a standard cast iron. It looks ordinary but does not reflect the light from the outside. It only flashes silvery luster from the inside to the outside during the rotation and viewing process.
"Maybe something amazing..." This mysterious attribute made me a little uneasy.
Unknown ancient trees, jadeites that are as clear as water waves, and mysterious metals that are strong and indestructible together. These three things are a combination that is incomprehensible no matter how you look at them. I won’t be involved in any mysterious thing again.
"Anyway, start first and make crafts so that Sebala can't recognize them."
I called on the colonist logo in my vision, and a funny arpeggio sounded in an instant, and the familiar gear interface occupied my sight again.
"I'm looking for...I remember there is a craft table..."
Soon, I found what I wanted in the production sub-item below the architectural planning.
"Item Name: Yichuangtai

I set up the building blueprint somewhere in the house and then selected the work task.
"Select a job order: Priority for building wood art creation platform (blueprint)"
I thought this kind of construction task must be to splice two pieces of wood and build a table to use it. At most, use the cabin door as a table like a stone cutter. After all, there are all production equipment such as manual processing points, and the so-called "production" of this colonist system does not need to rely on means of production at all.
But I immediately paid the price for my carelessness.
My body, which was covered in wounds, was taken over by the system in an instant. My body immediately stood at the right moment, rushed out like an arrow, and brought two wooden boards that were originally stored in the house.
I saw my left and right hands exert force at the same time, and then I tore the wooden boards into half with my bare hands, forcibly splicing them with each other, and actually reached a solid platform.
As soon as the feat of tearing the template with bare hands was finished, I rushed out of the door, carried a large stone, and processed it with bare hands into a flat stone slab, which was placed horizontally on a wooden platform to serve as the desktop of this Yichuang table.
Gotz was measuring the direction and marking the construction point on the ground. Suddenly, he saw me running out of the house and processing stone there. He thought I was rushing to do something, so he was not panicked, but instead greeted me on his own initiative.
But the closer he got, the more he saw a zombie-like man hanging his hands and feet, and his body stiffened quickly walked towards him, his face full of gloomy expression, and it felt like a poor man possessed by a demon.
"Marcus! What's wrong with you!"
Gotz looked shocked and even considered whether he should let the priest come to exorcise the demons, but when he saw me getting closer and closer, he instantly passed by him and ignored him.
"Marcus! Answer me!"
Gotz wanted to catch me, but I... Oh no, it was the colonists who were nimble and avoided.
Actually, I can answer him, but I can’t figure out what the system wants to do in the current situation, so I can’t answer his question at all. Is the Yichuang Channel already built?
Next, Gotz watched me bypass him, quickly came to his carpenter tool box, and walked away with the hammer, chisel, and file inside, instantly moving away!
