Chapter 973: Differences From Games
At this time, Chen Xuan couldn't help but be moved when he saw the Triceratops lying on the ground.
"Tomorrow morning, it will be the first dinosaur I tamed."
After having this Triceratops, it means that he will have his own self-protection power in the future.
Although it can't be said to be invincible, at least it should be no problem for him to move home safely.
"After taming this Triceratops, the next thing to do is very simple. Make a Triceratops saddle and bring supplies. Find a good time and consider moving away."
"At present, there are very few places suitable for settling on the entire isolated island. The best place is called Vegetarian Island, but it has to cross the ocean. With my current ability, there is no way."
In fact, Chen Xuan knows very well that if there are places suitable for settling on the entire isolated island, there are only a few places.
The first is the famous Vegetarian Island, which is an independent island.
There are several islands in the isolated island that are relatively famous. The first is Vegetarian Island, the second is Devil Island and the third is Penguin Island.
In the Ark world, penguins can produce organic polymers, which can be used to replace polymers to manufacture some industrial equipment. This is also a very important resource. However, the Penguin Island is located on the snowy mountain side, and the weather is extremely cold. If you go there without a mobile home, you may be very cold.
The bad weather and the dangers there are all over the place. It can be said that it has passed, and there is basically no follow-up. Even if he has this Triceratops now, it is absolutely impossible to live there safely.
As one of the dangerous areas, the Snow Mountain is naturally the place where the Southern Beast Dragon is refreshed, and the Titanosaur is refreshed, the absolute overlord in the Ark. They are all in those areas, and there are also some large dinosaurs such as Yutyrannosaurus there.
And these dinosaurs are also the biggest obstacle to prevent him from going to that area. The easiest way to go to the Snow Mountain is to tame a pterosaur and let the pterosaur take you.
However, the pterosaur's own combat power is very low. If you take yourself with you, although you may not encounter any danger there, you are afraid of encountering the Argentine Eagle, because there are also Argentine Eagles in the Snow Mountain.
As one of the overlords of the sky, this is also a place that needs to be considered.
"Forget it, forget about Penguin Island. Although Penguin Island not only has precious swimming resources, but also has a large amount of mineral resources on the snow-capped mountains next to it, and there are rare resources such as polymers on Penguin Island."
"It's no exaggeration to say that as long as you settle down there and gain a foothold, you can collect all kinds of materials in the industrial age."
"But this is not what I can get involved in now."
"And Devil Island and Vegetarian Island are not what I can think of now, after all, the area where they are located is too far from the land."
"Although I can make a raft to go there, there are all kinds of large carnivores in the ocean of the Ark, and the most dangerous one is the Lizi fish, which is called the ship killer."
This is a fish that swims very fast in the water.
The main reason why it is called a ship killer is that it will actively attack ships sailing on the coast.
This fish will regard ships as plankton and other things, and this is also its main source. Although it will not actively attack sharks or other marine life, it is essentially relatively mild.
But unfortunately, ships would be his hunting targets. If his ship was destroyed, and he was still in the ocean, he would basically be doomed. Although these two areas can be regarded as good residential areas, it is obvious that this is not what he can think of.
"Except for these places, there are not many places left."
"When I played the game before, I would choose some places with better scenery, but if I really develop, I will definitely give priority to areas with rich surrounding resources and high safety factors."
After thinking about it, he thought of a good location. Going up along the river on the grassland where he is now, he will reach a swamp area on one side. There is a high mountain on the other side of the swamp area.
And this is a relatively good residential area. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The way down the mountain is on the back of the swamp, which means that the creatures disturb this area. The strongest dragon refreshed is Tyrannosaurus or Spinosaurus, a large dinosaur. He is not without the ability to fight.
As long as you take down that side, then guard the way up the mountain, there is no need to worry about safety, and the place over there is big enough.
As for resources, there are large forests at the foot of the mountain where you can get wood and berries.
In addition, that area can be regarded as the middle area of the Ark map, and it is relatively convenient to go to the surrounding areas.
But after thinking about it, he finally shook his head.
"You can't think like that."
"To put it bluntly, it is indeed very convenient to go to any area there, but this is reality, not a game. In the game, I have tamed various dinosaurs and it is indeed safe to rely on them, and I am not afraid of death. Anyway, I can be resurrected after death, but it is not possible in reality."
At this time, because no one was talking, Chen Xuan put all his thoughts on arranging various things.
It was also because of this reason that he figured out a lot of things, and he also grasped some of the deviations between the game and reality.
Thinking back to where he lives now, he couldn't help but sigh. Everything about where he lives is good, but the biggest flaw is that resources are too scarce.
Not to mention the rare mineral resources, to put it bluntly, even the most basic wood has to be obtained from a long distance.
No matter how safe this area is, it is basically impossible to develop quickly. Anyone who wants to develop in a short period of time cannot be separated from resources.
So, he thought of many places in his mind, such as volcanoes.
The volcanic area can be regarded as the place with the richest resources, but there are too many carnivorous dinosaurs there. In fact, he also thought of a place at the foot of the volcano, near the mangrove area, where there are several very high peaks that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.
As long as he can go up, it is basically very safe to settle down there, but the most embarrassing thing is that even if he solves the problem of going up and down, the most core problem cannot be solved.
And this core problem is that there are also southern beast dragons in that area. To be precise, there are southern beast dragons in the volcano not far from that area.
This thing may stroll down if it walks around.
"It doesn't work here, and it doesn't work there. In the end, my strength is too weak."
At this moment, he thought a lot.
After a night of thinking, he finally thought of a perfect place. This place is called the cliff. It is located along the river to the swamp, on the mountain closest to the swamp.
Rather than a mountain, it is better to say it is a high slope.
And there is a protruding peak similar to a cliff over there.
Below the peak is the swamp, but over there, it is equivalent to except for a main road to the peak, the rest are cliffs around, just need to do a good job around, the area of the wall can be regarded as a home.
And the resources over there are also very rich, the most important thing is that there is a high probability of refreshing a creature called sheep over there.
In the Ark Island map, sheep are extremely rare birthdays, and sheep certainly have their own advantages.
As a special creature in the Ark, mutton is second only to feed in taming dinosaurs. If you catch two sheep, one male and one female, you can give birth to many lambs, and after having sheep, it will not be a big problem for you to tame dinosaurs in the future.
In that area, the materials are rich and there are many resources in all aspects of plants. There is a mountain next to the cliff. There are not only crystals but also a lot of metals.
You just need to cross that swamp. After taming the flying dinosaur, you can easily fly to the other side to collect resources and then transport them back.
To put it bluntly, the timeliness of collecting resources back and forth will also determine your development efficiency.
There are some places far away. It takes a day and a night to fly to the resource point to collect resources. It takes two or three days to go back and forth. This is definitely not possible, and that area is undoubtedly the best.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to settle down there.
There are several advantages over there. The first point is that it is close to this plain, and there are rare creatures such as sheep.
The second point is that it is very close to some rare resource points.
The third point is that there is only one main road, which is relatively safe. Guard the main road. There is no need to worry about being harassed by some other creatures. Stone walls can be built on the main road.
Undoubtedly, this area is a good place to settle down. After thinking about this, he made a decision in his heart.
He thought about it all night.
Of course, he was also paying attention to the situation of the Triceratops.
At this time, the Triceratops's dizziness had dropped to a relatively low level several times, and he used the black fruit he prepared in advance to replenish it.
Looking at the satiety, he couldn't help but frown.
"The satiety of this dinosaur is indeed a little slow."
As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Because according to his calculations, it shouldn't take long to tame the Triceratops.
"In the game, if you feed berries to a level 150 Triceratops, it will take about ten hours to tame it."
"If you use feed, it will only take less than an hour."
"It's been almost ten hours since yesterday afternoon, but the Triceratops's satiety has only dropped by less than 10%."
"At this pace, I estimate that I will have to wait until at least tonight, or tomorrow morning, to tame this Triceratops."
This surprised him a little. If it weren't for his favorite thing to do when playing games, which is to prepare some things that exceed the standard to ensure that there is no risk, I'm afraid he would have to find a way to go out and collect black berries now.
"It seems that many things in this world cannot be considered according to the game. Many things in it are still very different from the game."
"I estimate that even if you want to tame a Triceratops with feed, it will take at least one day."
What does this mean? In the game, the time consumed by taming a Triceratops with feed is ten or twenty times less than that of using berries.
What does this mean? This means that if we calculate according to this number, it will take at least a month to tame a Triceratops with normal things.
"This is ridiculous, it takes so long to tame it."
"But think about it, after all, if this dinosaur is so easy to tame, then it is not a dinosaur. However, such a mechanism will make it extremely difficult for ordinary survivors to survive."
"In the game, you may only need to survive for a few hours or 10 hours, not to mention how powerful it is, but at least the warranty is not a problem, because this time is enough for you to believe in a dinosaur, but in the real world, it will take one or two months, and that is when the dinosaur is not attacked."
"If you encounter a powerful dinosaur in the middle of the journey, you may bite the dinosaur that you have finally defeated or tamed halfway to death."
And this is the real point.
The difficulty is increased by many times compared to the game.
"If this is the case, then things are really difficult to handle"
"At least I have to use feed when I tame dinosaurs in the future, otherwise who can stand such a long time?"
But it doesn't matter.
Because at the beginning of everything, as long as I have the first dinosaur, it will be much easier to collect feed for the second dinosaur with this dinosaur to help me.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Triceratops is now his lifeblood.
He continued to wait until the afternoon.
At this time, the Triceratops's satiety had almost dropped, and the strong Chen Xuan took out the feed he had prepared without hesitation.
As the feed was put in, the Triceratops' tameness began to increase at a very fast rate.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan was also very excited.
Then the tameness was directly filled up, and then the originally unconscious Triceratops slowly opened his eyes and stood up. At this time, the eyes of the Triceratops looking at Chen Xuan were no longer the same as before, but very docile.
After checking the attributes of the Triceratops, the level of this Triceratops has reached level 225.
"It is perfectly tamed."
"It's worth my preparation for more than a week in advance."
Looking at the Triceratops, Chen Xuan couldn't help thinking in his heart.
In fact, according to the current situation, it can go back to its home in the dark with the Triceratops, but he thinks it is completely unnecessary. After all, don't take risks that shouldn't be taken.
Don't put yourself in danger at any time, so he decided to wait until the next day to go back.
At this time, Lin Ya was very worried when she saw that Chen Xuan had not returned for a day and a night.
In the wooden house, he could only pray silently, hoping that Chen Xuan would come back.
She didn't know what Chen Xuan went out for.
But she knew very well that this time might be related to their future. Once Chen Xuan got into trouble, there would be no follow-up, but if Chen Xuan came back, she had a hunch that there would be earth-shaking changes on their side.
