The wind was still blowing and the snow was still falling. Sitting in the wind and snow, the more Somo could see things that he had forgotten because of his rush for so many days.

For example, in the storage space, there are three sets of brand new cotton clothes.

For another example, the snowflakes and clouds in the sky, as well as the strong wind, do not interfere with each other, forming a very strange climate.

Of course, there are also the thoughts brought about by examining other lone wolf refuges.

At present, all ”lone wolves”, including the number one refuge, also rely on terrain to build refuges.

Few, or more and more people, are choosing to abandon the houses created using game panels and build their own shelters instead.

”Except for chat and trading secrets, most people have begun to figure out ways to get rid of the game panel”

”But this is also right. If human beings put all their focus on the game, they will always be stuck in their necks!”

Abandoning the refuge built by the game panel does not only mean the loss of ”upgrade”, ”extraordinary blessing”, ”extensibility”... and other in-game functions.

At the same time, including some modular technologies that may be touched in the future, they will also be constrained, seriously affecting the speed of development.

This is why even large shelters have to maintain a few game houses.

In the first update, the production system was cut off and most of the restrictions were added, including paid use of manufacturing.

And also made payment restrictions on private messaging chat.

It is precisely because of this update that most people lose their confidence in the game panel and choose to try to get rid of the control of the game.

After all, if one day the refuge I upgraded from was recovered, wouldn't it be a sudden death!

Even Somo didn't think much about this point, but now in the mouth of some ”conspiracy theories”, it has evolved more and more exaggerated.

”Games, systems, individuals, races...”

I carefully figured out the connection between these nouns, tried to think about the points that might be involved, and waited until midday when his stomach groaned before Sumo realized that the time had passed so long.

The ”storm” in the day is not strong, which also gives all the creatures living on this land a chance to breathe.

Seeing Oreo in his arms was still asleep, Somo simply walked down the hillside, returned to the tool table, made a few wooden boards in twos and threes, and built a small nest in the garage doorway large enough to hold Oreo.

Large and small sparks also grumbled and followed up at this time, watching Oreo lying motionless on the ground, trotting anxiously, lying next to Oreo and calling out.

”It's okay, you two look at it, just call me if anything happens!”

The temperature on the first floor of the refuge was already frighteningly low, especially when the garage door was opened when the cold wind came in. Even with the combat uniform, Somo was shivering.

It was not until I returned to the second floor, took out the new cotton-padded clothes and trousers and replaced them all, and turned on the heater at the waist, and I felt much more comfortable.

Oreo needs to be cold. Sitting in the base, Somo is not good at turning on the air-conditioning to heat up. He can only sit in front of the workbench and force his attention to continue studying the technology tree for upgrading weapons and ammunition.

The nitrocellulose made in the storage space, also known as nitro collodion, is extremely safe.

After nearly a day of collecting and pumping out the vinyl from the motorized well, Somo began to figure out a way to make the last two important items--

Ethanol, ether!

The production of ethanol is developed on the basis of winemaking.

People have fermented starch materials to make wine since ancient times. In the 12th century, when wine was distilled, it was the first time that alcohol was separated from wine.

Until the 1930s, fermentation was the only industrial production method for ethanol.

Until about 1930, Union Carbide Company established the first industrial plant to produce ethanol from ethylene, a by-product of thermal cracking of petroleum, which was absorbed by sulfuric acid and then hydrolyzed.

This well-known indirect hydration of ethylene is convenient and simple, and has significant advantages. Once it appears, it has become the best method for preparing ethanol.

There was a large amount of high-purity sulfuric acid in the refuge, and it was too snowy to go out. After eating some pancakes to recover his strength, Somo began to concentrate on making it.

It didn't take long for a large amount of ethanol to be prepared.

As for the production of ether, it is even simpler. According to the reaction formula, if you want to prepare ether, you only need to break the O-H bond and the C-O bond to complete.

With a large number of experimental instruments and the path that predecessors have taken, the biggest difficulty of smokeless gunpowder is actually the appropriate ”cotton”.

As for the diphenylamine used to prepare the stabilizer, it only occupies a small amount in the smokeless gunpowder.

After doing some research, I found that the system is not expensive, and with a big wave of his hand, Suma bought a dose sufficient to prepare 20,000 bullets for only 20 survival points.

”Tablet...cut into strips...dry...hardened”

Step by step, Suma did it very patiently and completely followed the concept of scientific preparation. Until the evening, all the collodion was finally made!

The smokeless powder, which is neatly cut into strips, is placed on the workbench, and it has a different kind of beauty no matter from which angle it is viewed.

After working for many days, Somo's hands have become a little rough.

Especially when touched on smokeless powder, this kind of friction feels stronger.

”Smokeless gunpowder! Something that has not been researched for centuries, but from the beginning to the completion, I only took one day!”

Standing on the shoulders of giants and looking at the world, at this moment, Somo is extremely grateful for the knowledge he has received consciously or unconsciously in the peaceful age.

It may be a novel, it may be a Zhihu answer, or even a marketing account with a lot of useless information.

These streams of information form a huge knowledge reserve of modern people, which can be quickly transformed into ”strength” after coming to the apocalyptic wasteland!
