Chapter 3
Science? We Don't Believe in That Stuff

A smelting furnace requires eight cobblestone blocks.

Yun Yi opened the crafting table, threw eight cobblestone blocks inside, and placed the crafted furnace next to the crafting table.

He opened the furnace again.

He threw the wooden pickaxe, with only a sliver of health left, into the fuel slot.

He placed logs in the input slot.

The furnace started burning.

Waiting for the furnace to extinguish, Yun Yi took out the charcoal and combined it with sticks in his backpack crafting slot to make four torches.

These were no ordinary torches.

They were one of the most powerful black technologies in the MC world.

The endless energy that made the Sekai-ryu drool with desire.

Nuclear torches that would even make Newton's coffin lid rattle.

Once placed, they would never extinguish.

Yun Yi planted the torches in the ground, their light illuminating the surrounding area for tens of meters.

He reached out to touch the torch.

It was warm and comfortable.

He picked up several withered wild grasses and held them over the torch, but they didn't show any signs of burning after a long time.

It seemed like the torch couldn't ignite objects.

That was good, it was safe.

After all, this was a deep mountain forest, with towering ancient trees everywhere. If a wildfire broke out, he wouldn't have anywhere to run.

Yun Yi didn't dare to gamble on whether he would revive like he did in MC after dying.

Therefore, he cherished his own life.

He opened the crafting table again.

Making a stone pickaxe required three cobblestone blocks and two sticks.

Yun Yi directly crafted five, holding one in his hand and storing the other four in his backpack for backup.

He then used logs to make planks, and planks to make wooden stairs.

There were many bugs, or rather, features, in the MC world.

For example, the fire resistance of logs, planks, and wooden stairs were all the same.

They were all 1.5 blocks.

But one log could be crafted into four planks, and three planks could be crafted into six wooden stairs.

In other words.

One log could be crafted into eight wooden stairs at most, producing 12 charcoal.

This increased the fire resistance by eight times.

Truly squeezing every bit of value out of the logs.

Of course, if he could, Yun Yi would rather dig for coal.

It could earn experience and had higher fire resistance.

But this was the real world, and if he didn't find the right spot, even if he dug through the Earth's core, he might not find coal.

In this case, charcoal became very precious.

Yun Yi glanced at his backpack.

He didn't have many logs left.

That was how MC was, logs were never enough.

He used planks to make several sticks, and then used three cobblestone blocks and two sticks to make a stone axe.

Every tool in MC had its unique function.

The axe's function was to chop wood faster.

Yun Yi carried the axe, ran to the towering ancient tree, and looked up at the sunlight filtering through the gaps between the leaves.

Watch me use the Wild Wind Axe Technique!

The real world was better than the MC world in one aspect, it allowed you to control your movements freely.

In MC, chopping trees could only be done by repeatedly swinging the axe and waiting for the progress bar to fill.

But in the real world.

You could chop horizontally, vertically, diagonally, however you wanted, you could do whatever made you happy.

But after chopping for a while, Yun Yi discovered.

The strength and angle of chopping didn't matter.

Frequency was the most important thing.

As long as the frequency was sufficient and exceeded the basic chopping force, even if you just tapped the tree lightly with the axe, you could break the tree down.

Boom, boom, boom…

Towering ancient trees fell one after another.

Due to the influence of real-world rules.

Every time Yun Yi chopped off the lower part of the tree, the entire tree would naturally fall down and randomly fall in a certain direction.

But he had learned his lesson.

Before chopping the tree, he would place two dirt blocks in front of him to create a simple dirt wall.

This way, even if the tree fell towards him, it would be blocked by the dirt wall.

Although the impact of the falling tree would often shatter the dirt wall, as long as he removed the remaining dirt blocks, he would be able to regain a standard 1x1x1 dirt block.

Newton's coffin lid definitely couldn't be held down.

But he thought about it, he had already crossed over and become Steve.

Science?

What was that?

Or rather, Yun Yi preferred to call it new science, a science that blended real-world physical rules and MC features.

The stone axe's durability was depleted.

Yun Yi also collected two full stacks of logs.

A stack of logs had 64 logs.

It was definitely enough for a short period of time.

He also harvested seven saplings, but they were basically planted back into the ground as soon as he got them.

He planted them wherever he went.

The main idea was sustainable development.

There were fewer apples. He chopped down more than twenty trees, his hands were worn down, and he only got two apples.

Yun Yi put them all in his backpack, planning to use them later when he crafted golden apples.

It was too wasteful to eat them directly.

One apple only increased saturation by two chicken legs, and any cooked food added more saturation than that.

After all this work.

He found that he had only lost half a chicken leg's worth of saturation.

It seemed that the real world lost saturation slower than MC.

However, considering that he was going to mine soon, Yun Yi still threw all five raw pork chops in his backpack into the furnace to smelt.

After all, eating raw pork chops only increased saturation by 1.5 blocks.

But after grilling the pork chops, they increased saturation by four blocks.

That was two and a half chicken legs more.

Soon, the five cooked pork chops were freshly made.

Holding the cooked pork chops, the faint scent of roasted meat filled his nostrils, making Yun Yi's mouth water.

When he played the game before, he just thought it was a normal icon.

But when the cooked pork chop really appeared in reality.

Hmm, delicious!

But he still resisted putting it in his backpack.

After all, he had only lost half a chicken leg's worth of saturation.

It wouldn't be cost-effective to eat it now.

Then, Yun Yi picked up the crafting table and furnace and turned them into blocks, putting them back into his backpack.

Everything was in place, all that was left was the wind.

Time to mine!

This time, Yun Yi planned to go deep underground to see if he could find coal and iron ore.

Coal was secondary.

With charcoal, he could make do for a while.

The main thing was iron ore.

If he could find iron ore, then his development would really take off.

Iron armor, buckets, fishing rods, brewing stands, anvils…

It could be said that he would be making a big leap from the agricultural age to the industrial age.
